Aspiring to the Immortal Path Chapter 68: Destiny
Ever since she was sensible, Lin Xin could not remember when her father had laughed.
He always looked at himself, his eyes full of sadness.
When he was a child, Lin Xin saw many people coming in and out of his 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 much later, Lin Xin still remembered 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 goes out, she will encounter malicious attacks from some children. Some will hit her with stones, while others will spit on her, which often makes 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 sixteen years old 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.
On this day, the moon was dark and the wind was 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, and he rushed towards the girl, no matter how hard the girl struggled and cried out.
Lin Xin felt a piercing pain. At that time, she thought she was going to die.
At that moment, 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.
With 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 will believe her, and she can't tell others, because that will let others know that she was raped. For a woman, life and death are small matters, but reputation is big. 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, she could only watch others look at her like a disaster star.
As day by day passes, 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 after hearing the news.
She ran away from home that night.
After leaving his hometown, Lin Xin had nowhere to go and could only keep walking in the wilderness.
Without food and drink, Lin Xin once thought 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.
Looking at Lin Xin, he saw that she was just a girl who had just turned twenty.
"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 hurt and homeless. But it is also it that protects me and keeps me young forever. 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 I started practicing the method, but I found that I couldn't break through the Jade Gate no matter what, and I couldn'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 **** it from me, but they all died."
"No exceptions?"
"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 is the only one who is not dead, but he is not feeling well. After meeting me, he believed that the birthmark on my body was probably related to the ancient green dragon, so he always wanted to devour it." As long as he gets this 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. The war was raging in the country, and everywhere There were natural disasters, there were disputes in the harem, 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, he suddenly became restless and his operation went wrong, which led to him almost going crazy. Finally, he was strong enough to reverse everything and escaped from death. But the more this happened, the more he refused to give up... He I tried many 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? He provoked too many birthmarks on my body, and finally angered it, so he brought you here. If that's the case, then even he couldn't 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 have often had nightmares. Most of them were my neighbors who surrounded me to accuse, insult, abuse or even beat me. But occasionally I would have nightmares. To some other dreams."
"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 the same person I saw in my dream. A man who looked exactly the same came to 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 as if I am right next to me. I remember once, I dreamed of a person flying down from the high sky, with 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 it was me Crazy, I even had that kind of dream."
"So...what did you dream about yesterday?"
"To dream that I am sitting in front of you like this tells you everything."
Tang Jie understood.
No wonder she took 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, no."
Tang Jie was stunned: "Didn't you say it only moves on your birthday?"
"It used to be, but then it changed, and now it moves anytime and anywhere."
"When did it change?"
"The day I met you."

"Hiss!"
The Heart-killing Ghost made a shrill and hoarse cry, but it could never get rid of the transparent ghost behind it.
The transparent little devil was like a blood-eating leech firmly fixed on it, swallowing up its ghostly energy and power.
Gradually, it felt the darkness in front of its eyes, the strong ghost energy dissipated, and it fell down powerlessly.
Little 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~IndoMTL.com~, which connected 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.
However, 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, floating 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 hunting ghost, that's right."
The sound is like the collision of gold and iron, sonorous and harsh.
The voice of the white figure was like weeping: "The hunting ghost is back again! This matter is not trivial. We must notify several Hades Emperors immediately and kill it at all costs!"
The two figures disappeared in a flash.
