Chapter 12717 Cemetery

Chapter 12717 Cemetery
Ling Xiao smiled and explained, "That's a term from a place called Blue Star where I once visited. The elders and so-called experts there often use frustration education as a pretext, but in reality they are engaging in psychological manipulation, trying to get others to do things according to their wishes."

"They like to impose their own thinking on others, which in my opinion is brainwashing. So, I call it PUA."

Ling Xiao has never actually been to Blue Star, but there is indeed a memory of Blue Star in his soul.

These memories came from his experiences in the Tianlong Continent in his previous life, when he accidentally came into contact with some knowledge about the Blue Star, which left a deep mark in his soul.

Although there were no cultivators on Blue Star, it was home to a rich and colorful culture and thought. The myths and novels there provided Ling Xiao with endless inspiration and imagination.

He combined the images of practitioners in these stories with the reality in the mysterious world to form his own unique concept of cultivation.

This is also a great fortune for Ling Xiao.

"Let's go. This is for you." Ling Xiao handed the compensation that originally belonged to him to Liu Yu, with a faint smile on his face. "After all, you have helped me. Although the result is not what I want, I still see your efforts."

Liu Yu received the compensation with mixed feelings. He didn't really help Ling Xiao, he just fulfilled his duty. However, Ling Xiao gave him the compensation so generously, which made him feel surprised and a little guilty.

"You..." Liu Yu looked at Ling Xiao's back as he turned and left. He wanted to say something, but he didn't know where to start. He knew in his heart that if the dean knew Ling Xiao's decision, Ling Xiao would face greater danger. But at this moment, he was powerless to change anything.

Just when Liu Yu felt helpless, Ling Xiao suddenly turned back with a playful smile on his face.

"Haha, Deacon Liu, I just thought about it. In fact, guarding the cemetery for three years is nothing." Ling Xiao said with a smile, "Instead of suffering all kinds of injustice and oppression outside, it is better to practice quietly in the cemetery. Maybe you can gain something."

Liu Yu was stunned by Ling Xiao's words. He really didn't expect Ling Xiao to change his mind suddenly. Ling Xiao, who was determined not to go just now, agreed so readily at this moment. The speed of his change of expression was simply unbelievable.

"Are...are you sure?" Liu Yu asked uncertainly.

"Of course I am sure." Ling Xiao nodded, "But I have a condition."

"What conditions?" Liu Yu asked.

"I hope to be able to practice freely in the cemetery without being disturbed or interfered with by anyone." Ling Xiao said in a deep voice, "At the same time, I also need some practice resources. I hope the Tianxia Association can provide some help."

Liu Yu was completely confused. Ling Xiao changed his expression so quickly. He just said he would never go, but now he suddenly wanted to go?
"Can you tell me what made you change your mind?" Liu Yu couldn't help but ask curiously.

Ling Xiao smiled slightly and said lightly: "Of course it was Deacon Liu's sincere words that made me feel that Tianxiahui still cares about me."

Liu Yu's eyes widened, obviously not believing Ling Xiao's words. He shook his head and said, "Nonsense! Don't lie to me, kid. I know you didn't change your mind because of what I said."

"But no matter what, this decision is the best for you. Don't worry, although you are unruly, you are also grateful. I will do my best to mediate and minimize the time you spend in the cemetery."

Ling Xiao waved his hand and said seriously, "How can that be? Since it is a punishment, I must obey it. I, Ling Xiao, have always acted in an upright manner and always kept my word."

Liu Yu looked at Ling Xiao's departing back and felt even more confused.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would have suspected that this kid had been switched. The change before and after was too great. However, he was secretly relieved. After all, Ling Xiao's acceptance of punishment was a good thing for the Tianxia Association.

He stood there for a long time without moving, thinking about Ling Xiao's words in his heart. Perhaps Ling Xiao didn't really want to stay in the cemetery, but he had his own plans and goals.

"Forget it, come with me!" Liu Yu sighed and decided not to delve into Ling Xiao's sudden change. He turned around and took Ling Xiao towards the entrance of the Tianxiahui cemetery.

The cemetery is located in a secret place of Tianxiahui, surrounded by dense forests, giving people a solemn feeling. At the entrance, two tall stone tablets stand, engraved with the names of the predecessors of Tianxiahui, as if silently guarding this holy place.

Liu Yu led Ling Xiao through the woods and arrived in front of the cemetery. He pointed ahead and said to Ling Xiao: "This is the cemetery. You will be assigned to guard here for three years. During this period, you need to be dedicated and not slack off at all."

Ling Xiao nodded, looking firmly in the direction of the cemetery. He knew that these three years would be a huge challenge for him, but he also believed that this would be an opportunity for him to grow.

Seeing Ling Xiao's determination, Liu Yu felt a little relieved. He patted Ling Xiao on the shoulder and said, "Although I can't guarantee that you can live comfortably here, I will do my best to provide you with the necessary help. Remember, no matter what difficulties you encounter, you must persevere."

Ling Xiao nodded gratefully and said to Liu Yu: "Thank you, Deacon Liu. I will remember your words. In the next three years, I will definitely practice hard and live up to your expectations."

This cemetery seems to be a corner forgotten by time, filled with a strong atmosphere of death and extinction.

The cemetery was shrouded in a gray mist, with faint green light flashing from time to time, as if it was the sigh of the dead soul or the resentment of an evil spirit.

Towering ancient trees stand around the cemetery, their branches and leaves blocking out the sun, leaving only mottled shadows, adding a bit of mystery and weirdness.

Inside the cemetery, tombstones stand in rows, each of which exudes an ancient atmosphere. Some tombstones are engraved with ancient runes, shining with a faint light, as if telling the glory and honor of the once powerful;

Some tombstones are badly damaged, with the inscriptions blurred and difficult to discern, and one can only vaguely feel a deep loneliness and sadness.

In this cemetery, one can often hear low and eerie sounds, as if they were coming from deep underground, or like the souls of the dead singing in a low voice.

These sounds are particularly clear in the silent night, making people shudder. Sometimes, you can see some vague figures wandering in the cemetery, their faces are blurred and their figures are erratic, as if those once powerful warriors are still unable to break free from the shackles of this land after death.
