Chapter 462: Bai Shan Residence and the Six-Eared执
The next moment, a gust of wind blew by, Lin Xiaosu waved to call a taxi, returned to the airport, bought a plane ticket, and headed back to Daxia.
The plane ticket showed the destination: Great Xia Yangcheng!
He re-entered the Middle East without making waves.
Even if someone knows this forbidden figure has passed through the Middle East, they probably wouldn't have time to set any traps.
Lin Xiaosu didn't stir up any trouble either.
His goal was very simple, which was to find Qing Ru.
Moon Lotus entering the world is no small matter.
Everyone in the Divine Temple is searching for this impostor Qing Ru, they've been struggling for several days with no result, and signs indicate they will probably never succeed.
But among Heaven and Earth, there is such a detective.
His strongest skill is the path of tracking.
The person that millions can't find, he can find.
Lin Xiaosu took a nap on the plane and when he woke up, he was already over Yangcheng.
As he stepped out of the airport, the sky had brightened.
A round red sun rose from the sea, and the sea was bathed in gold.
Yangcheng's streets were bustling with traffic, along the snack street, the aroma wafted all around.
Lin Xiaosu had breakfast, strolled out of the snack street, arrived on the main road, raised his hand, and a taxi stopped in front of him: "Driver, Mianbi Mountain!"
The taxi headed south.
Along the winding mountain roads of Mianbi Mountain, following Lin Xiaosu's directions, it went all the way up.
Ahead, stood a white villa.
Bai shan Residence.
Lin Xiaosu got out of the car, came to the front of Bai shan Residence, and gently rang the doorbell.
A beautiful woman appeared, looking at Lin Xiaosu with a smile: "Mr. Lin! It's you!"
Lin Xiaosu smiled: "Having a robot doorman has an advantage, once you're in the database, the next time you come, you'll be recognized."
"Yes, sir!"
Lin Xiaosu asked, "Is Professor Lin here?"
"He is!"
"May I see him?"
The beautiful woman smiled: "The master is waiting for you in the study!"
This is the second advantage of robots; guest registration is waived, and the approval for whether to see guests is done unnoticed.
Lin Xiaosu met with the robot for a moment, and the information was already sent to Lin Weiyang.
Lin Weiyang nodded, and the robot opened the door and directly took him to the study.
In the study, Lin Weiyang was sitting in front of the tea table, stood up with a smile, and extended his hand: "I said this morning, the magpies in the garden were chirping, turns out a distinguished guest is visiting!"
Lin Xiaosu lightly shook his hand: "You still have magpies in your house?"
"Take a look!" Lin Weiyang raised his hand, pointing out the window.
Lin Xiaosu looked in the direction he pointed, and there really was one!
Standing on the branch, very joyful.
As his gaze returned from outside the window, he was suddenly attracted by a small ornament on the table...
This ornament, with rabbit ears and a wolf body, was very peculiar.
Six ears!
Six-Eared Left Holder!
"Mr. Lin, please sit!" Lin Weiyang said.
Lin Xiaosu sat down.
The robot that brought him over stepped forward to prepare tea for him, Lin Weiyang gently waved his hand: "You may go out first!"
The robot left, closing the study door.
Lin Weiyang personally held the teapot and poured Lin Xiaosu a cup of tea, the tea was freshly brewed.
Lin Xiaosu took the teacup, slowly raised his gaze: "Professor Lin, you have a Left Holder on your desk."
"Indeed!" Lin Weiyang nodded: "Mr. Lin knows Left Holder?"
"Left Holder, recorded in the 'Mountain and River Scripture,' usually only has two ears, but the Left Holder on Professor Lin's desk has six ears... Is there any significance?"
Lin Weiyang slightly smiled: "The two-eared Left Holder, although a Sea and River Strange Beast, often acts smart, hence no matter which realm, they are pawns, only the four-eared Left Holder can wield the edge of the Left Path and establish a foundation."
"What about six ears?"
"Six-Eared Left Holder, a legendary entity." Lin Weiyang said: "It's said, the Heavenly Dao holds the middle, I hold the left!"
"The Heavenly Dao holds the middle, I hold the left! Meaning... I am the supreme of alternative paths?"
Lin Weiyang slowly raised his gaze, slightly smiled: "Alternative paths, does Mr. Lin have disdain?"
"I wouldn't dare!" Lin Xiaosu said: "The Dao has no differentiation between good and evil, and the Left Path could also achieve great feats, how dare I disdain?"
Lin Weiyang applauded and praised: "The Dao has no differentiation between good and evil, Mr. Lin's words resonate deeply with me! I toast you with tea instead of wine!"
"A mutual toast!"
Lin Xiaosu lifted his teacup, gently tapped against his, and took a sip.
Lin Weiyang said: "Mr. Lin, do you have an interest in taking a walk in my garden? Accompany me for a stroll?"
"Sure!" Lin Xiaosu said: "Previously, the professor's white coat was like snow, sitting in a wheelchair, a beautiful woman pushing and walking among the flowers, today I'll push you!"
"Let's skip the wheelchair, it makes me look old and crotchety." Lin Weiyang said: "I once told you my legs actually have no issue, just my body is a bit weak."
Lin Xiaosu stood up: "Then, a walk?"
The two left the study, stepping along the path with green stone.
At this moment, although the garden's flowers have wilted, there are still countless new greens flourishing.
"Spring has passed, summer has also passed, whether it's spring flowers or summer flowers, they have all wilted." Lin Weiyang said: "However, look, this is my newly planted asters, about to bloom!"
"Professor Lin, do you really like planting flowers?" Lin Xiaosu asked.
"Yes, flowers and plants are quite peculiar things. A little breeze can make them wither easily, yet they are also resilient. As long as the world persists, they endure endlessly. Even if heaven and earth were turned upside down, they would still endure. So, I always think that the way of plants is similar to the Human Path!"
Lin Xiaosu said, "Are you implying that the three paths—heaven, earth, and humanity—competed ten thousand years ago?"
"You also know of the competition between the three paths?"
Lin Xiaosu said, "I occasionally came across a piece in an ancient book that said: the Heavenly Dao is strong, the Earth's path is deep, while the Human Path is weak. However, it is this weak Human Path that persists throughout time and is never extinguished. It raises the question: what is weakness? What is strength?"
Lin Weiyang stood with one foot at the edge of the cliff. "What do you think? What is weakness and strength?"
"What do you think?" Lin Xiaosu countered.
Lin Weiyang laughed, "I am a result-oriented person! I don't care about the process, nor the twists within. I only face the final result. The result I see is that the Ancient Wilderness is sealed, the Earth Core is sealed, and on this soil of civilization's continuation, only the Human Clan has established a splendid civilization."
"Why is that?" Lin Xiaosu asked.
Lin Weiyang countered, "Let me ask you instead, why is that?"
"Because of human nature!" Lin Xiaosu replied.
"Human nature?"
"I prefer to see the contest between the three paths of heaven, earth, and humanity from ten thousand years ago as a competition of 'nature'! The Heavenly Dao is divine nature, the Earth's path is demonic nature, and the Human Path is human nature! Only human nature can gradually push civilization deeper."
"Well said! Human nature! I like that term!" Lin Weiyang laughed heartily.
Lin Xiaosu also laughed, "Professor, I actually came today to thank you."
"Thank me for what?"
"You gave me two pieces of advice that day: first, to beware of someone with two shadows; second, to beware of a place. It was thanks to your warning that I passed safely."
Lin Weiyang smiled lightly, "Shall I give you another warning?"
"Go ahead!"
"If one day you enter Luoba State, beware of a person!"
"What kind of person?"
"A person with two lives!"
Lin Xiaosu was slightly stunned, "Can you be more direct this time?"
"No, I cannot!"
"Why?"
"Because even I am unsure about this person. I cannot let you form a preconceived notion about something uncertain."
"Understood! Thank you!" Lin Xiaosu said.
"Between you and me, there's no need for thanks. I help you, no thanks needed, and you help me, no thanks needed either." Lin Weiyang said.
The two faced each other, standing by the cliff's edge.
Their hair was blowing in the wind, and at that moment, they both exuded a sense of high spirits.
Their eyes shone brightly, like autumn waters.
Their conversation seemed ordinary, but every word seemed to carry deeper meaning.
Lin Xiaosu asked, "Professor, with your profound knowledge, have you ever heard of a place called the Three Realms?"
"The Three Realms, I do know about it!" Lin Weiyang said, "It's said that there's such a place called the Three Realms, where the Guardians of civilization reside. They exist beyond human comprehension until civilization faces the risk of disruption, at which point they appear."
"I knew you would know!"
Lin Weiyang said, "I too once had confidence in a name like that, but... I must remind you, sometimes, the higher the hope, the greater the disappointment. We cannot leave our fate to be determined by a legend!"
"Indeed, every generation has its own mission!"
Lin Weiyang gazed at the undulating sea ahead and sighed gently, "Autumn is almost over, and the cold winter is coming! Some things need to be accelerated!"
"Like what?"
Lin Weiyang said, "Like the Nine Headed Snake! I hope to completely eradicate it by the third day of March next year!"
Lin Xiaosu was greatly shocked, staring at him dumbfoundedly.
"There's a saying on the Cultivation Path: this path is not solitary!" Lin Weiyang said, "Have you heard of it?"
"Yes, I have!"
"What are your thoughts?"
"This path is not solitary; I hope... it truly isn't!" Lin Xiaosu extended his hand and gently shook his, "Goodbye!"
Lin Xiaosu walked through the garden with falling leaves and exited the gate, descending the mountain.
Lin Weiyang stood at the cliff's edge, silently watching his departing figure.
His eyes were like a vast river of stars.
Light flickered within them, but no one knew what this light represented.
A dark shadow silently appeared behind him, a woman in black clothes, extremely short but with a perfect golden ratio, full of beauty.
Her face possessed a wildness, yet also a touch of femininity.
The wildness and femininity on her exquisite face created a mysterious contrast.
"The teacher's casual words are unfathomable. I bet this young man regarded the teacher as though he were the Nine Heavens Immortal Venerable at this moment." The woman smiled faintly.
Lin Weiyang gently raised his hand and took out a piece of paper from his pocket, "Take a look!"
The woman took the piece of paper and was suddenly startled, "His itinerary! He arrived in Durta yesterday and returned home today. The first stop was the teacher's Bai shan residence. Could it be..."
She didn't finish her sentence.
But her expression was already one of shock.
Lin Weiyang's gaze slowly lifted, "Everyone has their own path. You say he views me as the Nine Heavens Immortal Venerable, but perhaps not! On the contrary, I see his skill in detective work as truly like that of the Nine Heavens Immortal Venerable! This... is not a detective skill that belongs to this world! It's definitely not a detective skill!"
Lin Xiaosu descended Mianbi Mountain in the morning breeze.
His heart was like the waves of the South Sea, rolling endlessly.
Having entered Durta yesterday and withdrawn from the Middle East overnight, he had accomplished something that countless experts of the Divine Temple wanted to do but couldn't.
That was to find the mysterious "Qing Ru."
He had found him!
That person is Lin Weiyang!
