"That's right!"
Lin Ling nodded and didn't say anything else. He picked up the hoe beside him and helped the old man farm.
During this process, the old man didn't say anything and continued to work swiftly.
"What a strange person!"
Although Lin Ling was farming, the suspicions in his heart grew even more.
"Young man, are you curious why there's an old mortal man like me in this land of gods?"
At this time, the old man finally spoke, but his tone wasn't as cold as before. It was more human.
"That's right!"
Lin Ling replied, not bothering to hide anything.
"I'm actually a tomb keeper responsible for guarding the tombstones here. I've seen many gods like you here, so I've long gotten used to it. I reckon it won't be long before the tombstones here have your name on them."
The old man smiled.
Lin Ling remained silent and continued to farm.
"The gods who die on the third level will enter the underworld and never be reincarnated. If they want to come back, they have to bring their Dao to the Celestial Realm into the underworld and protect their Dao to the Celestial Realm. Only then can they be reincarnated."
After a full two hours, the old man muttered to himself.
"Dao to the Celestial Realm?"
Lin Ling's eyes flashed as he asked curiously, "What happens to the things on a person's body after they die?"
"If you can protect your Dao to the Celestial Realm, everything will be in your Dao to the Celestial Realm. If not, ashes to ashes, dust to dust!"
The old man finally looked at Lin Ling and smiled, revealing his sparse teeth.
After saying that, he put down the hoe, picked some vegetables, and went into the house to rest.
"If you want to rest, you can stay in the room next door for the night."
The old man's voice came at the same time.
Originally, Lin Ling wanted to leave. He believed that any god who came to the third level for the first time would definitely not want to see such inauspicious things.
Moreover, he reckoned that Lin Ling would be the first to appear beside the tombstones.
However, Lin Ling pondered and didn't leave in the end.
He had a feeling that the Dao Pagoda had arranged for him to appear in the cemetery for a reason. Perhaps, this was fate.
That night, Lin Ling rested in the cemetery. At night, the cemetery was very quiet, so quiet that it was frightening!
Even if Lin Ling had experienced a great deal in these past few years and had even wandered through the Netherworld and Hell, he still felt extremely strange, and it was as if he'd been affected!
Lin Ling knew that the loneliness of the tombstone had affected him!
He found it hard to imagine who would spend the night in the mausoleum other than the tomb keeper. Perhaps they would all leave at night!
As for the old man, Lin Ling wasn't sure if he was a god or a mortal!
The night passed just like that. Lin Ling did not sleep much, nor did he cultivate. At dawn, the sound of crying came from the graveyard, and the smell of burning paper money wafted over!
Moreover, the cries were increasing!
Lin Ling looked through the window and saw that in front of some tombstones, there were people kneeling and praying. They were crying very sadly!
"So what if you're a god? In the end, you're still a human!"
Lin Ling sighed inwardly. He knew that these people were here to pay respects to the dead! At dawn, the people who were praying finally left. Lin Ling also pushed open the door and went out. Although the sun was charming outside, the petals of the snow maple tree were still sprinkling down, causing the cemetery to still give off a gloomy feeling. The sunlight seemed to be gloomy and cold.
Like!
Lin Ling sat in front of the hut and looked indifferently at the tombstones!
For some reason, he thought of his friends who had died in the void of the Nine States, and also thought of the people he had killed over the years!
"Little friend, there are people who come here to pay respects every day. Unfortunately, they didn't cherish it when they were alive. What's the use of worrying about it after death?"
It was unknown when the old man had appeared beside Lin Ling. Then, he went to farm again!
Lin Ling also chose to help. After a long time, at noon, Youyou and the others sent a voice transmission, asking how Lin Ling was doing!
Only then did Lin Ling plan to leave!
"Little friend, if you want to keep your Dao Regression to Heaven position, then use your Dao Regression to Heaven position as your tombstone. If you die first, then you can bring your Dao Regression to Heaven position into the Underworld!"
Just as Lin Ling was about to leave, the old man's voice suddenly floated over!
Lin Ling's body shook as he looked at the old man in disbelief. He realized that the old man was still farming, as if he hadn't spoken before!
He couldn't understand why the old man said this to him!
Was it because he was helping the old man farm?
Or was it because he had spent the night here?
However, it was too dangerous to leave his Dao Regression to Heaven position here!
After all, there was only one Dao Regression to Heaven position for each person. It represented the gods. If he stayed here, he might not be able to return after leaving!
Moreover, what if the old man destroyed his Dao Regression to Heaven position?
In addition, Lin Ling's Dao Regression to Heaven position still had some treasures. Was the old man a liar who wanted to cheat his Dao Regression to Heaven position?
"I am the host body of the world's will. Even if I die, I can be reincarnated. It can't be said that I will turn into ashes. Why leave my Dao Regression to Heaven position here?"
Lin Ling shook his head and strode away.
As he left, Lin Ling also heard the old man's soft sigh!
However, Lin Ling continued to move forward. Occasionally, he would look back at the old man and found that the old man was still planting vegetables as if he didn't care about anything!
Moreover, as Lin Ling walked further and further away, he discovered that the old man seemed to have disappeared. However, that didn't seem to be the case!
The old man gave Lin Ling the feeling that he was a tombstone, not a person!
"This old man is too strange. A person guarding a tomb, and a mortal at that. How is this possible!"
"The Dao Pagoda follows the law of the jungle. In order to become stronger, any method will be used. That old man probably set a trap to deliberately trick people!"
"It's better to avoid such a strange person!"
Lin Ling walked further and further away. However, after walking for two hours, Lin Ling pondered for a long time and finally walked back!
For some reason, after leaving the mausoleum, there was always a voice in his heart shouting for him to put the tombstone in the mausoleum!
If he did, Lin Ling would be equivalent to dying!
Lin Ling didn't know why he had this feeling, but he finally believed in his intuition!
Moreover, he sped up, afraid that he would miss something, and soon returned to the mausoleum!
From afar, Lin Ling saw that the old man was still planting vegetables, but he had a feeling that he would disappear at any time!
"Senior, I plan to place the Dao Regression to Heaven position here as a tombstone!"
After Lin Ling arrived, he was the first to speak. The old man was still planting vegetables as if he didn't hear Lin Ling's words. After a moment, he raised his head and pointed to an open space in the distance. "Put the Dao Regression to Heaven position there as a tombstone. Remember to write your name, so that when you come back, you won't be able to find your way."
！”
His voice was very gloomy, causing Lin Ling to shudder!
He didn't speak. According to the old man's instructions, he came to an open space and then set up a tombstone!
Lin Ling's Tomb!
Under the tombstone, he buried his Dao Regression to Heaven position!
After doing all this, Lin Ling's mood was somewhat complicated. After glancing at the tombstone, he smiled bitterly and said, "I, Lin Ling, am also a dead man!"
Then, he slowly walked away!
However, when he looked in front of the hut, the old man had disappeared at some point!
The clean and tidy hut yesterday was now full of cobwebs and dust. The field that was originally full of vegetables was now overgrown with weeds!
"This!"
Lin Ling's body trembled. How strange!
