Chapter 81: Mother's Identity!

  "Lin, your distant relative?" Xia Lin asked tentatively.

  "Ah, you're talking about him? He was a gambler, always drifting from place to place. That's why he entrusted Lian'er to me. Who knew that just a few days later, he'd be killed by a martial artist because of his gambling? Ah, I regret it now, I should have advised him against it."

  Summer arrives: "......"

  Looking at the painful and frustrated Lin old man, he really didn't know what to say. Well, this is good, no one can testify against him! There's no need to ask about the rest, it's undoubtedly true that the martial artist was a wandering martial artist who roamed the rivers and lakes everywhere. In short, as long as they couldn't be found, everything would be fine.

  At this time, there is no doubt that Xia Lin has already had a problem.

  But for some reason, it seems that Old Man Lin was also deceived, and he was deceived even more severely than him...

  "Mr. Lin, how's your memory?" Dongfang Xuan suddenly asked from behind.

  "Huh?" Old Master Lin's face turned red with anger, "Are you saying I'm so old that I've forgotten things? Let me tell you, I remember everything clearly!"

  Coca-Cola quickly pulled him aside and joked, "Isn't this a slap in the face?" Even if the old man can't remember clearly, there's no need to say it like that.

  Xia Lin waved his hand to stop Ke Le, he wanted to see what Dong Fang Xuan had to say.

  Dongfang Xuan picked up a branch and drew a pattern on the ground with a few quick strokes, then looked at the old man and said, "Did you see it clearly?"

  "Hmph, take a good look." Old Man Lin said disdainfully, this thing is basically memorized by warriors at a glance.

  "Brush!"

  Dongfang Xuan stretched out his right foot and wiped away the thing on the ground, then smiled at Old Man Lin: "You try to draw what was just there."

  "Hmph, a trivial skill." Old Man Lin sneered and picked up a branch, preparing to draw on the ground. However, when the branch touched the ground, he suddenly found that his mind was completely blank! He couldn't even remember what he had been drawing just now!

  For a moment, he was stunned on the spot.

  "I actually... forgot."

  "How is this possible? I've already... reached this stage?" Old Man Lin was stunned on the spot, he's only sixty years old, and for a Condensed Sea cultivator, it's still his youth, how could he forget?

  Especially in the blink of an eye, it was forgotten.

  "You all go down first... I, I need to think for a moment." Old Master Lin said in a daze, and Lin Tianxiang hastily went up to support him.

  Five people in a row just walked out like this.

  "Dongfang Xuan, what did Old Man Lin just see that made him become like that all of a sudden?" Xia Lin asked in puzzlement, and the others also hastened to listen.

  Too weird!

  Especially when Dongfang Xuan was drawing the picture just now, he deliberately blocked all of them and only let Lin Lao see it, which is even stranger.

  "That thing... Heh, it's a symbol of the Water Moon Sacred Ground." Dongfang Xuan said with a cold smile.

  "Water Moon Sacred Land?"

  "Not bad, Shuǐ Yuè Sacred Land has a mysterious secret technique called Drunken Life and Dream Death. For people with vastly different strengths, it can modify their memories!"

  “……！”

  "Alter memories? How is this possible?"

  "There's nothing impossible." Dongfang Xuan sneered, "In the Divine Continent, where countless powerful beings roam, it's possible to destroy the heavens and earth in an instant. What's impossible about changing a memory?"

  "Modify memories, is it against heaven?" Xia Lin frowned.

  "That's not the case, first of all, editing can only edit one paragraph at a time, completely rewriting is fundamentally impossible. Another thing, although Drunken Dreaming to Death is powerful, it also has a fatal flaw because of that."

  "Is it the pattern from just now?" Xia Lin seemed to be thinking deeply.

  "Not bad." Dongfang Xuan nodded and said, "At the beginning, that great ability holder, in order to prevent people from suspecting Shuǐ Yuè Sacred Land, strengthened some of the information about Shuǐ Yuè Sacred Land in the memories of those who were altered. It was also because of this that it led to some extra effects, and the mark of Shuǐ Yuè Sacred Land couldn't be remembered, almost forgotten as soon as they turned their heads."

  "This is a fatal flaw. And I happened to have passed by a classical literature, so I know some."

  Xia Lin rubbed his temples, he didn't want to know these things, now he only knew one thing.

  "That is to say... the reason why Old Man Lin can't remember things from the beginning is because of that place called Shuǐ Yuè Shèng Dì? Someone from Shuǐ Yuè Shèng Dì modified Old Man Lin's memories?"

  "Not bad." Dongfang Xuan nodded, "Now it seems, indeed so."

  "Alright...... Shuiyue Sacred Land, then what is this Shuiyue Sacred Land?" Xia Lin asked.

  "Shen Zhou continent, countless sects. You also know that there are various small schools, large schools, and sects, as well as extraordinary schools, but beyond these, transcending all schools, the entire Shen Zhou continent has only four places known as Sacred Lands! Shui Yue Sacred Land is one of them!"

  "The four great sacred places, the eight great forbidden lands, and the ten great wonders... how many secrets does the Divine State Continent hold? And how many people know about them?" A hint of frenzy flashed in Dongfang Xuan's eyes. "One day, I will uncover all these things, and see the stories behind the four great sacred places, the origins of the eight great forbidden lands, and the sources of the ten great wonders. All this... is so tantalizing."

  Watching Dongfang Xuan become infatuated in his own fantasy, the few people surprisingly didn't mock him. It turned out that the Divine Continent actually had so many mysterious places?!

  The Four Sacred Places, could those distant legends actually be true?

  Xia Lin, however, didn't think of these things. The four great sacred places, the Water Moon Sacred Place... memory modification... mother... Tian Shi... an unseen sect... These revolved in his mind, and soon he arrived at an unthinkable answer.

  "Dongfang Xuan, show me the diagram of Shuiguetian's sacred land! Quickly!"

  Dongfang Xuan looked puzzled, and then seemed to think of something. He glanced at the people beside him and said: "This pattern is not just a matter of satisfying your curiosity. Once you see it, you should be prepared to bear the consequences. In the future, you may die without a place to bury your body. Are you sure you want to look?"

  Yu Lian stood indifferently by the side, her attitude obvious.

  Lu'er nodded slightly.

  Ke Le hesitated for a moment, originally thinking that he was just here to serve a few young masters and make some soy sauce on the side, but unexpectedly also participated in this matter, suddenly excitedly said: "No problem!"

  "Alright, since you've decided, then..."

  Dongfang Xuan drew another pattern on the ground, ordinary and unremarkable, yet extremely beautiful, without any special features. The few people who saw it felt a bit disappointed, thinking there was nothing magical about it.

  Only when summer arrived, she stared at the pattern drawn with branches, as if enchanted.

  No one knows that in Xia Lin's heart, a storm is brewing! The pattern, he has seen it before, and it's all too familiar! On the night of his birth, the black-clad men who took away his mother had this same pattern embroidered on their sleeves! Combining what Old Lady Yao said, he already has an answer in his mind.

  Mother, you're a Bodhisattva from the Land of Water and Moon!

  A genius-level figure from twenty years ago!

  After understanding everything, Xia Lin let out a bitter laugh, was this his goal all along?!

  Water Moon Holy Land!

  That place where even the disciples of Tian Shi are terrified... Can he really achieve it in this lifetime?!

  Not to mention, even if he reached the Heavenly Master, could he see his mother? Wouldn't that Moon Flower quietly take him down? Twenty years ago it was the Heavenly Master, what level has this Moon Flower reached today?

  Suddenly, Xia Lin raised her head and looked at Yue Lian for a moment. A hint of bitterness flashed between their eyes, apparently, Yue Lian had also guessed something.

  This road is destined to be filled with hardships and setbacks.

  Have you lost confidence?

  No!

  On the contrary, Xia Lin's morale was high at this time!

  All along, in a state of confusion, only knowing to improve oneself, but without goals or results, without an end point, advancing aimlessly, this is the greatest torment. No matter what time, the most tormenting are always the unknown and fear, when everything is revealed, no matter how dangerous, at least there is a goal. He suddenly feels that his mind is clear, and everything becomes smooth.

  Water Moon Sacred Ground... In that case, let's head to the Divine Ability Realm first!

  Xia Lin made a silent decision in her heart and led the crowd out of the door. Under the leadership of a small servant, they temporarily settled in the Lin family, waiting for a grand banquet at Sanjiang Pavilion tonight.

  That night.

  Night fell, and the several families who had been guarding the Di Sha Gang finally discovered that the people of Hei Feng Zhai were indeed staying in Linjiang City. Moreover, others were intercepted by the guards, and only Xia Lin entered. According to the intelligence, Xia Lin entered the Lin family and exchanged a large amount of silver coins, planning to participate in the San Jiang Pavilion tonight.

  It wasn't until then that everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

  "It seems that Hei Feng Zhai's target is not us after all," said the leader of Di Sha Gang, "thank you both for your help."

  "It doesn't matter, we're just sharing the same hardship. The leader of Red Flame Fort waved his hand, "Now that Black Wind Fort has become so powerful, we must unite to have any chance of resisting them."

  "En." The leader of the Tiger King's Fort nodded in agreement.

  "As the Di Sha gang is safe and sound, we should leave first. This time out, I brought half of our troops. If Xia Lin attacks our Chi Yan village, it will be dangerous." The leader of Chi Yan village said.

  "Don't worry, the distance from here to your stronghold and Linjiang City is the same. If he dares to make a move, our three strongholds will definitely work together to take him down."

  "Besides, they are still in Linjiang City, what's there to worry about."

  "It is." The master of Red Flame Fort smiled and said, but still stood up to bid farewell, "It's always better to be careful, I'll take my leave first."

  After he finished speaking, he turned around and left.

  Just kidding, the leader of Di Sha Gang wanted to keep him only because he was afraid that Xia Lin would suddenly attack them, but they were not under Di Sha Gang's command. When there is a crisis, it's good to help you, can't always protect you, right?

  After Chiyan Village Master left, the Village Master of Huwang Village also bid farewell and departed.

  Soon, only their own people were left in this place.

  The leader of the Di Sha Gang coldly snorted: "Pass down the order, seal off all paths, defend thoroughly, detect any unusual movements, and kill without hesitation!"

  "Yes!"
