quiet!

Quiet!

At this moment, the wind had stopped, and Lin Tuo did not suppress it deliberately. People who were a little further away were still worse, but those who were closer could vaguely hear his words.

There was a moment of silence.

The gatekeeper of the cemetery stood blankly.

Behind him, including the patriarch, Cese, many ministers, and even the nobles who came after hearing the news, all looked at this scene in disbelief.

"He...is really talking to Yueshu?"

This idea appeared in the minds of many people at the same time, and soon there was a strong sense of illusion.

Stupid tree... He actually called the tree god that way?

Also, what does it mean to not rob you?

Could it be that...he had communicated with Yueshu a long time ago?

But then, when?

Countless doubts came to my mind, but I couldn't get the answer.

And then, in front of everyone, the "mother" who gave birth to the entire ethnic group, the "mother" who bathed under the "giant moon", who has existed since the birth of this world, and who has existed until today, actually revealed her joyful mood.

The branches were retracted, and the huge tree crown swayed happily, as if it was finally relieved.

This act itself confirms something.

"Yueshu...shanhai...they..." Among the crowd, the administrative minister, who was one year older, tugged on his beard and spoke in a trembling voice, speaking incoherently.

Halfway through, he was interrupted by the patriarch on the side: "He is not Shanhai."

"His Majesty?"

"Father?"

All around, pairs of eyes looked over at the same time, falling on the solemn face of the patriarch, and then heard the middle-aged man in charge of the royal court say in a deep voice:

"In other words, he stopped being the real Shanhai a long time ago."

"Father...Teacher..." The patriarch's voice was not too loud, but it was enough for Sesai standing aside to hear clearly.

The silver-haired girl's face was full of doubts and confusion. She looked at her father, then looked forward, and her eyes fell on that familiar yet unfamiliar figure.

Then, he saw the teacher he had followed for a year turning back calmly, his eyes clear and calm, as usual.

It seemed that he was not surprised at all by the patriarch's words.

"I didn't intend to make such a big fuss, but it did disturb others." Lin Tuo said calmly, looking at the dense crowd on the street under the bright sky, he felt deep in his heart.

When the Evolution Sand Table appeared, his connection with the original body was strengthened again, the negative effects of "sinking" were also curbed, and those obscured memories became vivid.

Only then did he remember that as early as half a year ago, he had already had signs of forgetting.

The Evolution Sandbox also reminded me of this, and at that time, after confirming that the Calling Sandbox could be connected to the main body, I decided to continue testing the limits of negative effects.

He also buried several "backhands" one after another. This stone slab was one of them. The reason why he never carried it with him was to avoid being acquired or lost by others.

And as expected, he entered "sinking" and almost completely forgot the past. Fortunately, after this incident, he finally achieved complete mastery of this power.

At the same time, it was time to leave.

No one knew what Lin Tuo was thinking. People just looked over in horror. When they heard his words, everyone realized that this was a kind of acquiescence.

Isn’t he Shanhai?

Who is that?

The patriarch seems to have known about it for a long time? But why has it never been mentioned?

Naturally, they didn't know that as early as a year ago, Wang Ting had already realized the anomaly of "Shan Hai" through investigation.

At that time, the patriarch had secretly used the royal blood connection to try to communicate with Yueshu, and unexpectedly received feedback - although it was not clear, it did not contain any warning.

If this were not the case, it would not be possible for the patriarch to simply let it go and even promote the development of alchemy.

And why didn't Lin Tuo notice this?

It's just that the two of them knew it well and never broke through the window paper.

Until today, after witnessing the conversation between Lin Tuo and Yueshu, the patriarch could no longer suppress the doubts and shock in his heart:

"you……"

A gust of wind blew and rolled up a few leaves.

Lin Tuo glanced at him through the winter air-conditioning. Needless to say, the ruler of the Royal Court understood what he understood and immediately said in a deep voice:

"Everyone, stand down!"

"Your Majesty...this..."

"Back off!"

"……yes!"

There was a brief silence, and the surrounding palace soldiers and police officers immediately spread to both sides, driving the crowd on the long street away.

Probably the scene just now was so shocking that most people haven't come back to their senses yet.

When faced with the expulsion, they immediately retreated silently without causing much commotion. Soon, only a few scattered people were left outside the cemetery.

"Teacher, I...can we stay?" The silver-haired girl on the exoskeleton did not move, bit her lip, and looked at Qingkong, who was silent but did not move, and said.

Lin Tuo looked at the two of them calmly and nodded.

So, in the blink of an eye, there were only a few people left around the cemetery.

The turbulent crowd has not dispersed yet. They are blocked a hundred meters away from the long street. At the other end of the cordon, they are looking here with anxiety and curiosity.

Until this moment, Lin Tuo said:

"I know you have doubts, but it is not a good thing to know many details too early.

It is true that I am not a mountain and sea. In fact, I am not a moon tribe, nor do I belong to this world. However, as I said to the moon tree many years ago, I have no intention of harming its fruits, and naturally I will not harm it.

you.

I am here just to give you a direction so that you can be prepared to deal with future disasters.

Now, the matter is over, and I will return to my world, where there will no longer be mountains and seas."

"Future disaster?" The patriarch's face was moved.

Lin Tuo said calmly: "Maybe, maybe, you will never meet him in this life. If that day comes, you will know it."

After a pause, Lin Tuo looked at the thoughtful patriarch, then turned to look at Sesai and Qingkong, who were standing side by side, and said with some emotion in his tone:

"I originally had a disciple, but I didn't expect that after I came to this world, I took in two more. After I leave, the Alchemy Association will belong to Sesai, and the workshop will belong to Qingkong. Do you have any objections?"

It was probably because the incident was so sudden that the boys and girls standing side by side did not react for a moment.

It wasn't until Lin Tuo stared at it for a while that Cese finally nodded, then opened her mouth. Before she could ask, Lin Tuo seemed to have read through her thoughts and nodded:

"From the moment I saw you, I was who I was."

This sentence was a bit harsh, but the smart silver-haired girl understood it instantly, so even though she still had doubts in her heart, she still had a smile on her face.

And bowed seriously:

"No matter who you are, you will always be my teacher."

Lin Tuo was a little surprised, but said nothing. He looked at Qingkong again, only to see that the usually verbose boy with short hair was unexpectedly silent.

At this moment, facing Lin Tuo's gaze, this country boy from Dongsenbu finally raised his head, mustered up his courage, and asked:

"My teacher... I mean, Shan Hai, did he already... in that experiment a year ago?"

"Yes." Lin Tuo nodded.

Qingkong was silent for a moment, but unexpectedly he didn't feel too excited. There was just an expected bitter smile on his lips.

"You have already guessed it," Lin Tuo sighed.

Qingkong, who was wearing an alchemist's robe, nodded. His slightly round but no longer depressed face was full of maturity that did not match his age. He has grown a lot in the past year:

"Actually...as early as that morning, when I opened the door and walked into the old house, I had already guessed something."

"Oh?" Lin Tuo raised his eyebrows, really surprised.

Qingkong continued: "Teacher, although his medical skills are terrible, he taught me some pharmacological knowledge after all... The spilled bottle of medicine is not a new medicine, but poison."

"It was the poison he prepared himself. His last words were written in the wet notebook... Well, on another night when I opened it, that day... he had no intention of living."

The voice in the blue sky is very low, especially in this winter day.

On the side, the patriarch and Cese didn't know the details, but they could sense the boy's emotional changes. The latter even held the boy's hand and tried to comfort him.

And Lin Tuo also surrendered his first surprise after coming to this world.

Poison...suicide...So, on that day in Shanhai, he had no intention of living...and when Qingkong saw him, he took out the rope and hanged himself, which was just an act out of fear and sadness.
To be continued...
