Lady Lin's First-ever Journey to Immortality Lady Lin's First–ever Journey to Immortality Chapter 381

Chapter 381 The Dead Should all be Dead!

After exploring for half a year, Lin Luoran feels she has known a lot about this dense forest.

Lin Luoran at least knows how to hide her breath without relying on space. She also knows how to find the relatively less awful food causing no adverse reactions in a pile of colorful mushrooms and berries.

This is definitely just the most basic jungle survival skills. The closer to the center of mountains where monsters are usually more than the sixth rank, the more amount of planning Lin Luoran has to come up with.

She packs up her living utensils into space and wipes the flying sword again and again on the beach this day early in the morning. It is obvious that she is ready to leave.

Led by the mermaid, the “neighbors” who have been observing her for a long time finally stop Lin Luoran.

At that time, the bloody moon just sinks and the morning light falls on the decisive and straight back of the green dress. When Lin Luoran turns around in the anxious eyes of the demons, the mermaid is moved slightly. She seems to feel a touch of faith.

“Do you guys think I have tons of spare time?”

Lin Luoran gives a strange half laugh and stares at the mermaid.

The latter only sees the indifference in Lin Luoran's smile and her confidence suddenly disappears. Yeah, this female cultivator is clearly preparing to break into the center of the island today. As she says, why should she stay for these exiled demons?

They didn't accept her offer in the first place.

Lin Luoran stops smiling. She turns around again and steps on the green island representing danger.

“Wait!”

Lin Luoran stops with a faint smile on her face.

The mermaid struggles and says fiercely, “In addition to the damn faith, we will give you something else… That's it?”

Lin Luoran laughs, “I don't care about the so-called treasures at the bottom of the Sea of Sin.”

The mermaid does not expect her temptation will become a total failure. Demons whisper and chatter to discuss it in low voices. Lin Luoran can't understand what are they talking about. She just listens to it quietly with a smile.

The mermaid is angry. However, she cannot decide this incident selfishly as the representative elected by the demons.

After hearing the demons' proposal, the mermaid feels bitter but she still has to say the offer on their behalf.

“Something may help you cross that mountain…”

Lin Luoran's eyes glitter. This time she has a real smile.

The temptation is definitely not a failure but the bait is not good enough. The mermaid despises her. This female cultivator is still so mean as the nature of the human race.

“You just wait here. I will come with that thing when the devil wind blows again! ”

Lin Luoran nods.

The devil wind blows and numerous demons in the shallow water disappear.

Lin Luoran bows her head to hide her helpless smile. Fire phoenix screams with strange tongues in her head, “Well, you girl is good at acting. You can almost deceive me.”

Freeing these demons is always Lin Luoran's plan from the beginning. There is no reason for her to give it up after waiting for a few months.

If she didn't push them this way, they could observe her forever.

She is not sure if she can cross the mountain smoothly nor is she coveting something from these poor demons—the mermaid has to think in this way so that she can trust Lin Luoran. Then Lin Luoran also doesn't mind getting some unexpected gains.

Fire phoenix says it doesn't know she is lying. Lin Luoran will never believe it.

Compared to these gullible demons swayed by considerations of gain and loss, the ancient monster fire phoenix cannot see through her tricks? She will not buy it.

Maybe the mermaid has also seen through her.

What does it matter? What they need is just an excuse to accept and then they will hold onto the olive branch offered by Lin Luoran.

The wind blows away the dense fog lingering over the island and the weak sun like a light bulb is hanging on the sky. Lin Luoran looks into the distance. There are over twenty hours before the next devil wind. Maybe she can do something now.

She goes into space in a flash and rushes into the room to look for something. After a while, she finds out some old jade boxes.

One of the jade boxes has not been opened yet but the three of fire phoenix have been so far away from her.

“You… Do you really want to use this thing?”

The sound of fire phoenix is trembling, as if there is a big killer that even it is scared of in this jade box.

Not only fire phoenix, wood wolf also shows a terrible look when it is told what is inside the jade box.

Lin Luoran sees the reaction of the three of them. She is even more confident.

Everything in this world exists for a reason. It's not that the thing is dirty and low, but that people have not used it in the right place.

Lin Luoran holds on to the jade box and leaves space.

The Sea of Sin is full of tornadoes and water vortexes. Lin Luoran clenches the jade box tightly. This time she enters the island still just for exploring. After twenty hours, she has to return.

Lin Luoran steps into the island. Sneaking seems to be a skill which has penetrated her mind.

She naturally merges herself into her surroundings.

Lin Luoran doesn't hold her breath. She just adjusts her breath to the frequency of the ancient trees and ferns.

She is like a walking “tree” at this moment. Carnivores monsters have little interest in her. With this trick, Lin Luoran can fool all monsters below the sixth rank.

After walking a few miles, she encounters a wolf of Wind.

This is the most ordinary low-rank monster on the island. It is only a little better than the rabbit of Fire which is at the lowest end of the food chain. Most of them will stay on the second rank for a lifetime. There are only a few ones can break the limit of bloodline by chance.

This one is a vivid example. Lin Luoran's experience in the past six months tells her that it is the strongest among wolves of Wind according to its speed. It is estimated that it has reached the fourth rank and the green hair on its ears has changed color.

Lin Luoran suddenly shows herself in the tree shadow.

The wind wolf now sees a piece of fat meat. It leaps over the bushes and darts towards Lin Luoran.

Lin Luoran doesn't escape. As its claw is about to catch a corner of her clothes, she holds her breath and opens the jade box pinched in her hand.

The body of the wolf of Wind is still in the air. Its face is twisted and then its whole body stiffens. The wolf falls into the bushes. Regardless of the long thorns stinging its feet, the wolf of Wind runs away almost like a coward when it wakes up.

Lin Luoran holds her breath and stares at the jade box in her hand. This thing is really a big killer.

However, Rank Four monster alone can't prove it can really work. She has to continue to go deep into the island.

At least, she has to try it on Rank Eight monsters.

The thought of facing the Rank Eight monster directly makes Lin Luoran's palms sweat. The sweat on the jade box feels cold.

…

A new day is coming when the devil wind stops again.

This island is covered by the morning mist. The tallest mountain is still there, looking like a legendary Spirit Mountain.

The mermaid is standing at the shoal with a lot of demons.

Lin Luoran is not here on the beach so the mermaid looks bad. Demons of the Sea of Sin can only be free of torture for an hour a day. Missing the hour today, these demons and she have to wait until tomorrow.

Time passes minute by minute and the mist is still thick. The familiar green dress appears on the edge of the jungle when the demons think they are fooled.

At that moment, they can even feel tears in their eyes.

—Of course, the demons don't have bodies let alone tears. But is that feeling surging in their chest just a rejoicing of not being deceived?

Seeing that the green dress female cultivator rushes back awkwardly, seeds of a moved feeling have been planted in the hearts of these demons quietly. As long as it goes well, they will germinate and bloom at a right moment. Turning from a moved feeling to gratitude, fruit called “faith” will grow.

The mermaid bends her fingers. White light surges from the Sea of Sin and falls to the ground. It is the Bone Boat which has been swept away by the waves. By its shining appearance like jade, it may have not been destroyed by the seawater of the Sea of Sin.

Lin Luoran takes the Bone Boat, “This is the thing you said which can help me cross the place where the Rank Nine monster is?”

Although she is grateful to them for keeping the Bone Boat, this is just returning it to the rightful owners. With this Bone Boat, Lin Luoran can hardly image how she can cross the place guarded by the Rank Nine monster.

The mermaid grits her teeth and gives a piece of beautiful blue jade to Lin Luoran.

A large amount of Water Reiki rises from the blue jade. Lin Luoran can feel the same breath as the blue pearl of mermaid tears.

This is a treasure of the mermaid!

“If you throw this blue jade at that monster, it can stall for time for a moment. It depends on you whether you can take that opportunity and escape.”

Lin Luoran is not hypocritical. She just takes the blue jade and thanks her very sincerely.

The mermaid sneers, “I just want you to keep your promise.”

Lin Luoran nods.

“It will take about nine days. You can rest assured.”

The demons and the mermaid are suspicious but Lin Luoran does not explain anything. They don't need a sweet talk but just want her to take action immediately.

When the devil wind of the Sea of Sin blows again, the demons have to hide back to the bottom of the sea to avoid most of the pain. Lin Luoran has taken out a futon and sits cross-legged on the beach.

The white power of faith is flying around the Fly Apsaras painted sculpture in her ocean of consciousness.

Fire phoenix said that compared with lifetime Great Wish, God's Great Wish has the energy that Lin Luoran can never imagine.

That power is born of compassion which can break through some kind of dark enchantment and send the deceased to the side of brightness—this is what Buddhists call “transcend”.

Lin Luoran has to help them transcend in her own way.

The bright sun never shines on the bottom of the cold Sea of Sin. Demons are hiding there, enduring the pain of tearing souls. In the meantime, they are expecting the green dress female cultivator to make a difference.

After waiting for a long time, there is a pure sound passing through the thick black water when these demons are about to feel despair. For the first time, the dark sea bottom is illuminated.

A female voice reads a passage of mysterious lection repeatedly, soothing their souls of hostility.

…

“Ashes to ashes and dust to dust. In the sure and certain hope of the resurrection unto eternal life, you do not need pain and sorrow. Death is a cycle of life without any disguise, hypocrisy or darkness.

I am not Houtu and I have no vows of incarnation into the Six Classes of Sentient Beings. Just by a mortal heart, I keep you from vanishing and falling so to be hopeful devoutly.

The Tao never despises. It is mixed elements. From the high to the bottom, there is no need to be arrogant. The high does not exist for the purpose of abandoning the low, but only for guardianship and guidance, for telling you that you are eternal seeds. I just guide you to the path of righteousness as your parents. Before that, I would like to protect you forever.

This wish is my great deed. My Taoist name is Mortal Heart. Now I make this Great Wish.

Even if it's the evil, the dead should all be dead.

If the gods and Buddhas in heaven hear it, please do not keep my believers from reincarnation. ”

The repeated female voice gradually softens the mermaid's rigid face. Like a pure Buddhist sound, she feels her body has a temperature after being cold for thousands of years.

Even if it's the evil, the dead should all be dead?

Is this the source of the faith to free demons—
