Chapter 68 Destiny

Ever since she was sensible, Lin Xin couldn't remember when her father had laughed.

He always looked at himself, his eyes full of sorrow.

When she was a child, Lin Xin saw many people coming in and out of her home. They wore strange clothes, made all kinds of strange gestures, and looked at themselves as if they were looking at a monster, with confusion, fear, and excitement.

Some of them brought laughter to Xiao Linxin, but more often they brought pain.

Until a long time later, Lin Xin could still remember the pain caused by the spiritual master cutting off a piece of flesh from his body with a sword.

This situation continued for a long time before stopping.

The strangers who were coming and going suddenly disappeared, and the door of Lin Mansion began to become deserted.

The Lin family was originally a well-known local family, but in order to save their daughter, the Lin family spent too much money, and the family gradually declined. So word spread quickly in the local area that the daughter of the Lin family was a disaster star, possessed by a ghost, who only brought bad luck to people.

When such rumors spread to a large extent, they may even directly attack Lin Xin himself.

Whenever Lin Xin went out, she would encounter malicious attacks from some children. Some would hit her with stones, while others would spit on her, which often made her cry sadly.

But soon, Lin Xin found that no one dared to mess with her.

Because the children who hit her with stones were often either sick or fell. What's more, a boy fell directly into a well during play and died.

The local people were frightened.

They no longer dare to bully Lin Xin, or even approach her.

Lin Xin gradually grew up in such a lonely environment.

Sixteenth birthday.

This should be a good day worth celebrating. In the local area, a girl becomes an adult when she reaches the age of sixteen and can get married.

But Lin Xin was ignored.

There was no celebration, no laughter because everyone knew it was a disaster. People fear her and stay away from her.

But there are always people who don’t know.

this day,

The moon is dark and the wind is high.

She just sat quietly in the field, counting the stars in the sky.

This is the only way she can choose to celebrate, to feel the breath of the wind in nature and enjoy the peace of mind.

Just then, a passing man walked across the field.

He was thirsty, hungry, and exhausted.

He saw Lin Xin sitting on the stone, just like seeing a small white flower blooming in the field.

Greed and reason covered up, he rushed towards the girl, no matter how she struggled and cried out.

Lin Xin felt a piercing pain. At that time, she thought she was going to die.

At that time, her eyes suddenly blurred, and then she saw a flash of green light on her body.

A long green snake flew out of her body, flew to the man's head, opened its mouth and swallowed it.

In just one stroke, he swallowed the person whole.

She stared blankly at the sky, watching the green snake flying in the air. After a while, it fell from the air and flew to Lin Xin's body, turning into the tattoo and becoming motionless.

"From that day on, I realized that it was not something that harmed me, but something that protected me." Lin Xin said leisurely, but her eyes were still full of sadness.

"But you can't let everyone understand this." Tang Jie asked.

Lin Xin nodded.

Yes, so what if she understands?

No one would believe her, and she couldn't tell others, because that would let others know that she was raped. For a woman, life and death are not a big deal, but reputation is a big deal. She couldn't even say that the green snake on her body had eaten a person. If that were the case, she would have to go to jail first.

She couldn't say anything and could only watch others look at her like a disaster star.

As day goes by, the girl grows older and it is time for the girl to get married.

But no one dared to come to propose marriage.

No one wants to marry a disaster star.

At this time, the Lin family also completely declined due to the disaster star.

Her father's love finally came to an end, and with the help of a matchmaker, he decided to marry her to an old man in his fifties.

From all over the country, only the old man suffering from tuberculosis dared to marry her - he wouldn't live long anyway.

Lin Xin was frightened when she learned the news.

She escaped from home that night.

Lin Xin, who left her hometown, had nowhere to go and could only keep walking in the wilderness.

There was nothing to eat or drink. Lin Xin once thought that he was going to starve to death in the wilderness.

But in fact she was not dead. Whenever she felt hungry, she would feel a trace of energy entering her body from the green snake birthmark on her body. It was with the support of this birthmark that she walked all the way down. She discovered that she could go without eating or drinking for a long time, that she could heal quickly even if she was injured, and that she would not die even if she fell from a high place.

In this way, she wandered for twelve years.

"Twelve years?" Tang Jie exclaimed.

When he looked at Lin Xin, she was just a girl who had just turned 20.

"I didn't expect it, right?" Lin Xin smiled softly: "It is a disaster star and a lucky star. It is it that makes me suffer so much and makes me homeless. But it is also it that protects me and keeps me young and beautiful. Immortality. With it, anyone who tries to harm will have a bad end. But I can't practice because of it... I once met a spiritual master and helped him unintentionally. In return, he taught me how to get started How to practice, but I found that I can’t break through the Jade Gate no matter what, and I can’t practice at all.”

"Then you didn't try to expel it again?" Tang Jie asked.

Lin Xin replied: "I didn't, but someone wanted to do so. They thought it was a treasure and wanted to snatch it from me, but they all died."

"Without exception?"

"There is one." Lin Xin looked at Tang Jie and let out a low laugh.

At that moment Tang Jie suddenly understood: "Silver-eyed Demon King."

Lin Xin nodded: "He was the only one who didn't die, but he didn't feel well. After meeting me, he decided that the birthmark on my body was probably related to the ancient green dragon, so he always wanted to devour it. He said that as long as he got this With the birthmark, he can gain the power to control his destiny. But he has never succeeded. On the contrary, after the devouring failed, the Demon Emperor was full of bad luck for the next thirty days. There was war in the country, and there were natural disasters everywhere. , the harem was full of disputes, and monsters were killing people every day; even he himself, a dignified and distracted person, would occasionally trip over himself on the road, and even get his teeth knocked by stones while eating. What's more, during a practice Suddenly he felt restless and his operation went wrong, which led to him almost going crazy. Finally, he was strong enough to reverse all this and escaped from death. But the more this happened, the more he refused to give up... He tried a lot times, and failed many times, but I always survived until I met you... Sometimes I also wonder whether it was a coincidence that he died under your knife, or whether it had something to do with me. Could it be that he provoked me? There were too many birthmarks on his body, and he finally got angry and summoned you. If that's the case, then even he couldn't actually escape."

"Really?" Tang Jie's eyes narrowed slightly.

He looked at Lin Xin: "Why are you telling me this all of a sudden?"

Lin Xin lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then said: "In the past few years, I often had nightmares. Most of them were the neighbors who surrounded me to accuse, insult, abuse or even beat me. But occasionally they would do something different. dream."

"What dream?"

"All kinds of weird dreams. Once I dreamed that a man caught me and sold me to the mountains to be a woman for an old man. Early the next morning, I saw a man who was exactly the same as what I saw in my dream. The man came towards me. I was frightened and ran away. I never saw that man again after that, and I didn’t know if he was a human trafficker.”

Tang Jie's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Sometimes, I dream about things that have nothing to do with me. For example, a war, or a collapse of the sky. I don't know if they happened, but every time I encounter these things, I feel like I It's like I'm right next to you. I remember once, I dreamed of a person flying down from the high sky, his whole body burning with flames..."

Tang Jie's heart suddenly tightened: "Is there no confirmed dream?"

"Yes!" Lin Xin smiled slightly and said: "A few days before the Silver Eyed Demon King was killed, I dreamed that I was sitting in the palace, well clothed and well fed, living the life of thousands of people. I thought I was crazy, I even had that kind of dream.”

"So...what did you dream about yesterday?"

"To dream of me sitting in front of you like this tells you everything."

Tang Jie understood.

No wonder she would take the initiative to tell herself that it was the dream that guided her.

"Then what?"

Lin Xin shook her head. Obviously, her dream only ended here.

After thinking about it, Tang Jie nodded: "I understand, don't worry, I won't try to steal your green snake. By the way, today is your birthday?"

Unexpectedly, Lin Xin shook his head: "No, it's not."

Tang Jie was stunned: "Didn't you say it only moves on your birthday?"

"It used to be, but that changed and now it moves anywhere and at any time."

"When did it change?"

"The day I met you."

———————————

"hiss!"

The Heart-killing Ghost made a shrill and hoarse call, but it could never get rid of the transparent ghost behind it.

The transparent little ghost was firmly fixed on it like a blood-eating leech, swallowing up its ghostly energy and power.

Gradually, it felt that its eyes were dim, the strong ghost energy dissipated, and it fell down powerlessly.

Xiao San'er jumped off Xin Zhu Gui's back, patted his belly with satisfaction, and made a gesture of fullness.

The journey to find the two worlds is also the process of hunting ghosts and prey.

With the help of his powerful spatial ability, Xiao San hunted to his heart's content.

After completing a hunt, Xiao San sniffed the air a few times, looking for the direction he was about to go. In the transparent lower abdomen, threads could be faintly rotated, and a ball of white light was shining.

It was the power of cause and effect and a little light of destiny that Tang Jie left on Xiao San, connecting Xiao San to a distant land. Under the influence of cause and effect and fate, as long as you follow this line, you will find the end no matter what.

But fate is not always lucky.

Not long after Xiao San left, a hundred or two figures, one black and one black, appeared in the place where it was hunting the Heart-killing Ghost.

The black and white figures were holding mourning sticks, hovering above where Xiao San once stood. They looked at each other first, and then took a long breath together.

After a moment, the black figure said: "It's a ghost hunter, that's right."

The sound is like the collision of gold and iron, sonorous and harsh.

The white figure's voice sounded like weeping: "The hunting ghost is back! This matter is not trivial. We must notify the Underworld Emperors immediately and kill it at all costs!"

The two figures disappeared in a flash.
