C8 Dead and Alive

The two of them were not that far from the shore, about three to four meters away from the shore. However, Tian Zhongchen could tell that they were as far away as the horizon. Due to the constant flow of the ice-cold river, Tian Zhongchen expended a lot of energy and not only did the two of them not get any closer, they even got a lot further offshore. Tian Zhongchen was out of breath, he had completely calmed down and his thoughts turned around. He then hugged Lin Yuying, and when both of them surfaced at the same time, he shouted: "Lightness Skill!" Then he let out a vicious breath and dove into the water. Gathering all the strength in his body, he forcefully lifted Lin Yuying's little foot up.

With a splash, water splashed out as Lin Yuying's upper body broke free from the surface of the water. Her frightened face froze for a second before she quickly cried out, "Help!" Then he fell back into the river.

After a few tries, Tian Zhongchen felt weak all over. He grabbed onto Lin Yuying to prevent her from being dispersed. He stuck his head out of the water and looked down. He was shocked by the moonlight. Not far away, there was a steep slope. His right hand fiercely twisted Lin Yuying's butt. Lin Yuying cried out: "Lightness Skill!" Lin Yuying finally came back to her senses after she fiercely twisted her body again.

Tian Zhongchen leaned into the water again and held her up. When he reached the highest point, he concentrated all of his strength and pushed with all his might. With a splash, there was no more sound of a human falling into the water. He knew that Lin Yuying had succeeded. Lin Yuying was saved, so he was extremely nervous. It was only then that he felt his entire body turning cold and exhausted. At this moment, even moving his arms was difficult. Not only was it numb, it was also stiff. Just as he was about to surface and wait for help, a dark current attacked him. His skinny body was pulled by the water current into the water.

He sighed in his heart. His breathing was coming to its end, but he had no strength to move his sword. His chest felt stuffy and his head felt dizzy. He regretted that he had so many things to do with a child. He thought to himself: I am ashamed that I did not know that I was such a great man that I would sacrifice myself to save others and admire myself.

Even though he was on the verge of death, when he thought of this, the corners of his mouth curled up as he let out a pitiful smile. After calming his mind, his mind started to constantly recall the experiences of the days after his revival. He wanted to save his old man, his mysterious mission, the like-minded Lin Yuxian, and that unfathomable Secret Manual. With a thought, his mind immediately felt the true energy that was immobilized in his dantian.

"I hope that the old adage can be fulfilled so that I, a good person, can be rewarded." Thinking about how he would continuously compress, compress, and compress his zhen Qi again and again, how useless it was to be drowned by water, how could he be killed by kung fu. If he could successfully cultivate it, then he might have a chance of surviving. The probability of being a good person depended on one's character. A good person would be rewarded. A good person would not live long, and the probability of that was fifty to fifty percent.

Before he could even complete the compression required for the cultivation method, he felt his body suddenly become light, as if there was no weight on him, as if he was about to fly away on the wind. This feeling appeared in the car accident before, and all the feeling in his body disappeared. Just when he thought he was about to die, his body strangely tightened and he lost all consciousness.

The light in the room was gentle, the Lin Family were chatting and laughing, Lin Yuxi looked at Lin Yuxian who was nervous as she chuckled: "It's said that this cultivation technique can only be cultivated after one's death. Those people from the Devil Sect indulged in wild fantasies all day long and were always looking for a shortcut to their martial arts cultivation. Some of these cultivation techniques were simply incomprehensible, especially this one. However, in order to find the right way to cultivate, they did not care what methods they use. I heard from Master that in order to find someone to cultivate this technique, they have already lost no less than thirty disciples with extremely high aptitudes. I think that this Ghost Secret Manual that did not even have a name was intentionally lost by them to bring disaster to the martial arts world. Master gave the Secret Manual to me because I was afraid that the Devil Sect would have this goal. "

After Lin Yuxian heard this, he slammed the table and stood up angrily: "This damn thing is so dangerous, then why are you still in the study room and tricked me? If anything happens to Quan'er, I'll deal with you. "

Lin Yuxi shook her head and smiled, "For this Quan'er, you don't even want your sister anymore?"

"Sis!"

"Alright, you're already a man, yet you're still acting like a spoiled child." Lin Yuxi continued, "I know that you've chosen to protect me. I'll stop you in time, otherwise, I wouldn't be making such a joke."

As the words left his mouth, a loud shout came from the distance, "Quickly come and save them!"

The moment they heard the sound, their expressions changed. They quickly opened the door and flew up into the air, following the sound.

When Tian Zhongchen regained his consciousness again, he felt that he could survive after being carried away by someone. He was slightly relieved, "Good people will be rewarded." He wanted to let out a long breath, but he suddenly realized that his body was strange. His body was cold and immobile. Even his eyes couldn't open. He couldn't even breathe. He was shocked and then his heart skipped a beat. He could finally breathe air into his lungs. At the same time, he felt warmth in his dantian because there was only one place where his body wasn't cold.

"Martial arts cultivation has succeeded." He immediately looked at his Dantian and felt that there was a small ball of warm zhen qi there. This zhen qi was different from Lin Yuxian's, it was very warm, but the quantity was too little. If he was not cold, he would not have noticed it. Just as he was about to channel his zhenqi out of his dantian and try to use his zhenqi, he felt his body suddenly stop. The next moment, he lost weight and was thrown to the ground by the person holding him. It's a ghost! " A scream came into his ears.

Tian Zhongchen struggled to open his eyes, but he couldn't move his body. After a long while, his body temperature gradually recovered. Only then did he get up from the ground, followed by a series of screams. He turned his head with great effort and saw his cousin standing not far away with his legs trembling. "Cousin, so it's you." After he finished speaking, he looked around him. This place was not the Lin Family Manor, it was filled with weeds and looked like a wilderness.

The cousin's face turned pale and his voice trembled: "Y-you, are you a human or a ghost?"

When he came out of the river, and was with his cousin, it was naturally the people from Lin Family who saved him. Why is he not in Lin Family right now, but in the wilderness? " Could it be that our identities have been exposed? " Even if his identity was exposed, Lin Family would not abandon him. It was not only because he was Lin Family's foster son, but also because he saved Lin Yuying. Those people from Lin Family were not ungrateful people. After clearing his mind, he asked, "Cousin, I'm a human, why are you looking at me like that?"

His cousin pointed at him and said, "You are clearly dead. You have already been dead for half a day." He changed his tone and said, "Is it because the King of Hell refused to accept you and allowed you to regain your Yang state?"

Tian Zhongchen's body gradually returned back to normal. He slowly stood up and moved his body, wanting to discuss the real value of ghosts and gods with his cousin. He felt that it was inappropriate, so he asked: "Cousin, what happened? Don't look at me like that, I'm not dead. " As the sun was setting, the shadow of him standing up was drawn into a long line.

His cousin's eyes focused on the shadow and finally recovered from his fear. He let out a long breath and said, "There's a shadow, so it shouldn't be a ghost." He was a superstitious person, Tian Zhongchen's revival really scared him out of his wits. His legs went weak, and he sat down on the ground, then recounted the gist of the matter.

After Lin Yuying was rescued and landed, she quickly found a servant to save Tian Zhongchen. The servant rushed over, and after going into the water for a long time, he finally brought Tian Zhongchen's body ashore. However, Tian Zhongchen had already stopped breathing, his life was cut off, and his heart had stopped beating long ago. After Lin Family determined that Tian Zhongchen had died, he went to find Tian Zhongchen's cousin and told him what had happened.

"Lin Family is going to bury you in their family's tomb. If I hadn't strongly requested to bring you back, you should be in the coffin right now." After his cousin had recovered from his shock, he continued: "Little Cousin, you're really amazing. When you died, you didn't know that the young master and young miss in Lin Family were crying miserably. But for some reason, that Third Miss was crying and calling you a bastard? What did you do to her? "

After Tian Zhongchen heard this, he became gloomy and subconsciously replied: "If I said I pushed her into the river, would you believe me?" After he finished speaking, he began to be very curious about the cultivation technique he was practising. For someone like him who was constantly fantasizing about martial arts, mastering a martial arts technique was more exciting than anything else.

The sun was about to set. "Come, it's getting late, let's go back to see Master Lee. Even if we didn't succeed in the mission, we should go back and report."

The identity of the foster son of Lin Family was a hundred times better than a spy. Tian Zhongchen didn't want to give it up so easily, so he quickly said: "Let's go back and continue with the mission. This is my first mission, I must finish it." His words were filled with righteousness.

His cousin nodded in praise, then shook his head: "Based on your performance in saving people, it's indeed possible to complete it when you return, but the people from Lin Family have already returned to the Chang'an, so you won't be able to complete the mission when you return. Sigh, it's a pity. "Forget it, there's still plenty of time. There are still other opportunities."

"Gone?" Tian Zhongchen felt as if everything had returned to its original point, and Lin Family was just like a dream. How long have I been unconscious? "

"You started losing consciousness last night, and by now, um, it's already been eight hours. "They have left. Their status is very sensitive, and the day that they leave the capital each year is not too many days away." His cousin all answered Tian Zhongchen's questions.

Tian Zhongchen felt a sense of loss. He had been accompanying Lin Yuxian for the past few days, so his cousin did not know anything about him. The rest of the manor was even less aware that unless he went to the capital as well, his adopted son's identity would be illusory. "Sigh, looks like if I want to survive, I'll have to follow this old man." He didn't have any other choice, nor would he reveal the fact that he had become his adopted son. Otherwise, who knew what his cousin's organization would do to him.

He felt completely unharmed and his entire body was completely numb, very comfortable. He walked around his cousin and smiled as he asked, "Cousin, you said that I have failed the mission this time and will be disqualified by the organization when I go back?"

"You should ask Master Lee about this yourself." The cousin stood up. He had more or less recovered, "Let's go back now." By the way, there's something I need to tell you. When I came out of Lin Family, Master Lin gave me a hundred silver. According to the rules of the organization, the silver was not required to be handed over. "You and I will split the loot. Since you were the one who contributed most of the loot, I only need twenty silver taels." Watching Tian Zhongchen come back to life, he did not dare to be greedy.

Tian Zhongchen shook his head and smiled, "Twenty taels is too little for you. No matter what, you saved my life. If we were to split it equally, you might not be willing."

"If you insist on an equal split, I'm perfectly willing." his cousin interrupted him.

Tian Zhongchen pretended not to hear him and continued, "I see that you're forty to sixty, so I'll give you forty taels. How about it?"

"You have the final say."

"What I say counts?" "En, I said I will only give you 10 taels, are you willing?"

After a moment of silence, his cousin said: "Now I understand why Master Lee wanted you to join the organization. You really, really are a bastard."
