494: Once a word is spoken, the mountains and rivers remain unchanged

"The Way that can be told is not the eternal Way; the name that can be named is not the eternal name. The nameless is the beginning of heaven and earth; the named is the mother of all things! What kind of terrifying scripture is this? It actually makes my blood surge and my soul tremble."

In the void, the old man's body trembled, and his eyes revealed a look of shock.

Just by listening to a passage of scripture, his blood surged and his soul trembled.

Invisibly, it was as if an ancient great path was right in front of him, but he could not see it, could not touch it, and it was even more difficult to step onto it. If he could step onto it, he would certainly be able to advance further.

A young boy from a remote place could casually recite such profound scriptures, which made the old man feel incredible.

He immediately pricked up his ears, hoping to hear the rest of the scripture. At this moment, his heart was itching, and he was very eager to hear the subsequent content.

"This is..."

Xie Weilou just opened his mouth.

"Don't say it!"

Lin Qinghuang immediately stretched out her hand to stop Xie Weilou from speaking further.

The passage of scripture Xie Weilou recited was extremely profound; if there was a complete version, it would be even more terrifying.

Xie Weilou smiled faintly and said, "It's just a scripture! There's nothing special about it. I also know countless scriptures, such as the Great Desolation Scripture, the Supreme Purity Scripture, the Lingbao Scripture, the Three Emperors Scripture, the Ksitigarbha Scripture, and so on. If you like them, I'll give you a few when the time comes."

"It's a deal!"

Lin Qinghuang's eyes showed a solemn expression.

Although she didn't know the content of the scriptures Xie Weilou mentioned, just by hearing their names, she knew these scriptures were extraordinary.

"It's a small matter."

Xie Weilou said indifferently.

——

A month later.

Lin Qinghuang changed into a clean and neat cyan dress, applied the rouge Xie Weilou gave her, looking peerlessly beautiful and stunning.

Then she took Xie Weilou to a large mountain outside the city.

On top of the mountain.

There were graves, all of them belonging to members of the Lin family. On one of the graves, there were four characters: Lin Hai's Tomb.

Lin Hai was the patriarch of the Lin family.

Lin Qinghuang took out many incense sticks and paper money and burned them in front of these graves. She also took out fine wine and poured it out one by one.

"..."

Xie Weilou stood by, watching silently.

Lin Qinghuang said softly, "Xie Weilou, I know you have many questions. I can tell you everything today."

After pouring the wine, she kowtowed a few times in front of Lin Hai's tomb before standing up.

Lin Qinghuang looked at Xie Weilou: "You once asked me if I was a member of the Lin family. Now I can tell you, I can be considered a member of the Great Xia Lin family because I grew up in the Lin family!"

She whispered, "When I was little, the family acquired a precious pagoda. I was very mischievous and secretly went to get close to it. As a result, I was sent here by that pagoda. It was Lin Hai and his wife who took me in. They treated me like their own daughter and never mistreated me in the slightest... Now that their revenge has been exacted, I have no more regrets."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Xie Weilou did not feel the slightest surprise; it was just as he had expected.

Lin Qinghuang walked to Xie Weilou, took his hand, and flew towards a distant mountain.

At the peak of the mountain.

Lin Qinghuang took out a storage bag and handed it to Xie Weilou: "Xie Weilou, these are the property deeds of the Lin family. I'm giving them all to you now. My Peach Blossom is very well-behaved, please take care of her."

"Okay!"

Xie Weilou accepted the storage bag.

A smile appeared on Lin Qinghuang's face. She stretched out her beautiful leg and chuckled, "Aren't you always thinking about it? You can touch it."

Xie Weilou looked at Lin Qinghuang's beautiful leg, and couldn't help but fall silent. He reached out and gave Lin Qinghuang a hug: "Next time for sure!"

"..."

Lin Qinghuang allowed Xie Weilou to hug her without resisting, a hint of complexity in her eyes.

She grew up in Great Xia, and she was actually very reluctant to leave this place.

But there was no other way; her true home was not in Great Xia, and she had to go back.

She still had her mission; her family was waiting for her return.

"Xie Weilou... will you come find me then?"

Lin Qinghuang's voice was soft, with a hint of apprehension, as if she was worried Xie Weilou would refuse.

"Tell me the location."

Xie Weilou said in a deep voice.

Lin Qinghuang said, "Eastern Wilderness! It's very, very far away. As long as you get there, you can find me, or I will come find you then. Before that, you need to go north."

"I only have one Spirit Source. The long-distance teleportation array in the Void Realm Sword Arena can only be activated once. I know you won't leave with me now; you still have many things to do..."

"Okay! I'll come find you then, no matter how far."

Xie Weilou's words were firm.

One should not easily give promises to others; if one does, then one must do everything possible to fulfill them.

"It's a deal. I'll be waiting for you in the Eastern Wilderness."

A charming smile appeared on Lin Qinghuang's face; this was exactly what she wanted to hear.

Actually, she didn't have much reluctance for Great Xia. All the members of the Lin family had perished; there were only two people she was reluctant to leave.

Xie Weilou and Peach Blossom!

As for Xie Weilou, ever since the Corpse Demon Valley incident, she had a strange feeling in her heart. She was not foolish; she naturally understood what that feeling was.

"..."

Xie Weilou slowly released his grip.

Lin Qinghuang took out Tianya Sword and handed it to Xie Weilou: "Tianya Sword is mine. I'm lending it to you now. Bring it with you when you come to find me."

"I will certainly live up to your trust!"

Xie Weilou took the long sword, then he took out a storage ring and handed it to Lin Qinghuang: "All the books you wanted are inside, and I also refined some pills for you."

Lin Qinghuang took the storage ring. She sent a voice transmission: "Remember the box I gave you earlier. You can open it and take a look when the time comes; there are good things inside."

"..."

Xie Weilou nodded gently.

Lin Qinghuang looked at Xie Weilou in front of her, and instantly pressed into his embrace, holding him tightly with both hands: "You must come find me, no breaking your promise."

"Once a word is spoken, mountains and rivers do not change."

Xie Weilou looked at Lin Qinghuang in his arms and gently patted her shoulder.

"..."

Lin Qinghuang's smile grew wider. She let go and left Xie Weilou's embrace.

"I should go."

Lin Qinghuang turned around.

"The mountains are high and the waters are long, take care."

Xie Weilou looked at Lin Qinghuang's back.

Lin Qinghuang waved with a smile and said, "No! It's that there will be many days to come. I will wait for you. Before that, you must take good care of yourself."

"I'm leaving, take care!"

Saying that, she transformed into an afterimage and flew away directly.

"..."

Xie Weilou silently watched Lin Qinghuang's disappearing figure, a complex expression in his eyes.

Lin Qinghuang's departure had actually been foreshadowed for a long time; he had already guessed this scene would happen.

However, when this scene actually occurred, he still felt reluctant, an emptiness in his heart, as if something had been lost, and an unspeakable melancholy.

"Fellow Daoists! My Ning Yao has left..."

Xie Weilou's expression was downcast, and he sighed deeply, feeling incomparably melancholic.

Ning Yao has left, and I no longer have the heart to distinguish right from wrong. I will go find your Ning Yao now!

Xie Weilou looked at the Tianya Sword in his hand, slowly put it away, and then flew away...
