Substitutes do not want to be converted [Quick Transmigration]

To Qu Chen's surprise, when he returned to the village again, his cultivation was not imprisoned.

The location of the ruined temple was not difficult to find. One person and one sword took advantage of the dark moon and high wind to get in.

This temple is indeed as its name suggests, the beams of the house are dilapidated and almost collapsed in a second, layers of spider webs cover every corner, and the musty smell irritates the nostrils.

"Why was this temple abandoned back then?" Qu Chen muttered while pinching his nose.

If someone took care of it, the temple would not be reduced to what it is today.

"Go over there and have a look." Huo Yan said in his mind, "This place is a bit strange, and the spiritual sense can't see things clearly."

Qu Chen went deeper, "Could it be that your body is still weak, so you can't exert the power of your divine sense?"

Huo Yan was silent for a moment, "It's also possible."

After arriving at the innermost wall, the thick layer of cobwebs covering it was removed, and the murals below were exposed in front of the two of them.

As Li Tieniu said, this is a bald man in black, holding a wooden stick, with his eyes closed.

"This..." The Huoyan Sword in the ring seemed a little surprised, and started talking to himself again.

"What's going on...how could it be him?"

Qu Chen was curious, looked at the daoist portrait on the wall, and asked, "Who is he?"

"Why is this, why is he here?"

"He is that shadow..."

There was no fear in Huo Yan's tone, it sounded more like he had seen something extremely surprising.

Qu Chen: "What black shadow?" He obviously heard about this man in black from Li Tieniu, so why does Huo Yan seem to know about it?

Huo Yan: "Could it be..."

Qu Chen: "Could it be what?"

Huo Yan: "...Is that really the case?"

Qu Chen: "?"

It's started, it's started to send encrypted codes again?

Taking advantage of Huo Yan talking to himself, he went around the ruined temple inside and out, and found that only the wall had clues just now, and the rest were dilapidated and dilapidated, and it was impossible to see what had been there.

Standing back in front of this wall again, Huo Yan was finally willing to speak to him, "Go back!"

"Ah? Back to where?"

"Shanquan! Go find Li Mo!" Huo Yan's tone was tinged with urgency.

"Okay." Seeing his tense tone, Qu Chen didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly ran to the back of the mountain in the east of the village. This is the pool they left just now.

Spring water dripped slowly from the mountain wall in front, and the birds chirped in my ears, and everything seemed to remain the same as they had just left.

But the pool in front of him was already empty, so there was nowhere to see Li Mo's figure.

They only left for half an hour, and even the formation that Qu Chen set up just now was intact, but the people inside disappeared.

A trace of worry welled up in Qu Chen's heart, but then he heard Huo Yan speak with excitement, "Back to the village, Li Mo woke up."

***

When seeing Li Mo again, Qu Chen clearly felt the difference.

Although the appearance has not changed, the expression on that face has returned to the original cold and sad appearance, and there is no trace of emotion in the eyes.

That's good too, and it saves the "simple" Li Mo from doing any ridiculous things, he has been worried all the time these few days.Li Mo may not be the same person who did the work and finally settled the account, but he was the one who was accounted for and did not run away.

"Brother Qu, you're back!" Sister Zhang was delighted.

"Sister Zhang." As soon as Qu Chen entered the courtyard, he saw Li Mo sitting on the side, and Sister Zhang who was standing at the door of the kitchen looking at Li Mo and dared not go forward.

Considering that the current Li Mo has recovered the memory of the god, he hastily stepped forward and handed over the Huoyan sword, and said respectfully: "Master."

Then he stood there apprehensively, waiting for the punishment.

But after Li Mo nodded, he shifted his gaze to the Huoyan Sword, stroked the blade lightly, and used his divine power to help the Huoyan Sword recover, ignoring Qu Chen from the beginning to the end.

Qu Chen stood beside him for a long time, and when Sister Zhang waved to him several times in the distance, he could only smile apologetically.

There is no way, the Li Mo in front of him is not the talkative person he was before, and the consequences of leaving without permission are really hard to say.

As soon as the idea came to his mind, Li Mo looked up at him, and Qu Chen subconsciously checked whether he had cast spells to block the immortal thoughts from dispersing.

Fortunately, he has become a subconscious mind with random spells recently, he cast spells to shield his immortal thoughts as soon as he woke up in the pool, so he shouldn't automatically run to Li Mo right now.

As for the old man Shenzun, since he has recovered his memory, he should not have the leisure to listen to what he thinks.

Thinking of this, Qu Chen relaxed a lot, and when he met Shang Li Mo's eyes, he bent down and bowed.

"Master, sister Zhang is looking for me, can my disciple leave for a while?"

"Go."

After saluting, Qu Chen arrived at the door of the kitchen, and was greeted by Sister Zhang to enter.

But at this moment, Li Mo put his hands on Huo Yan's sword, and the peace in his eyes suddenly shattered.

The way of heaven in the mountain spring repaired the lack in his body. It can be said that it is more complete than the way of heaven in the previous world, but the previous memories are all fused together.

A large part of the reason why he was able to have no distracting thoughts before was that his human nature was a blank sheet of paper. Under the condition of coexistence of divinity, human nature will not be affected in any way, and the two are in a delicate balance.

But the appearance of Qu Chen broke this balance. The moment when humanity occupied his body seemed to be still in front of him. Those strong emotions rubbed into his body along with the return of the Dao of Heaven, and he couldn't get rid of it even if he wanted to.

The human nature is the most real him, absurd thoughts suddenly popped up from the bottom of his heart, Li Mo frowned and suppressed them.

In the past, he was like a piece of white paper, and under the blessing of heaven, he was the most divine existence, but during this time, he was like a smear of heavy ink, which quickly blurred after dripping onto the white paper.

Because of this wonderful but strong emotional fluctuation, Li Mo felt both dangerous and faintly...pleasant.

A joy that has never been experienced in hundreds of thousands of years.

"Li Mo, I saw that person." Huo Yan didn't notice Li Mo's strangeness, and mentioned what he saw and heard in the ruined temple earlier.

Li Mo was silent for a few moments, and regained his composure when he spoke again, "Yes, I know."

"Who is that, and why is it exactly the same as the person in the crack in the Dao that day?"

Li Mo said: "Ancient God."

"Ancient God?!" Huo Yan exclaimed, "Does the Ancient God really exist? Wait...you say that black shadow is an Ancient God?"

"Yes," Li Mo understood everything after completing the Dao of Heaven in the mountain spring, "After the ancient god was promoted to God of Chaos, he escaped from the Dao of Heaven and left this world, but he was also rejected by the Dao of Heaven and could not enter again. The black shadow is him Break the imprint left by the way of heaven when you are promoted."

Hearing Li Mo's few words, Huo Yan seemed to see the scene from that year before him, and immediately realized, "You mean that the way of heaven is incomplete now?"

"Yes."

"Ah...then this ancient god has thrown away the shopkeeper too much, but he was promoted and returned to Chaos, leaving this mess behind." Huo Yan muttered, quite dissatisfied in his heart.

It is an innate creature born in response to the way of heaven, and the way of heaven is like a mother to him. Now that the way of heaven is disturbed into this appearance, there are several openings at every turn, and depression is inevitable in his heart. After all, the ancient god Should bear most of the responsibility.

"So he left this world behind." Li Mo said lightly, looking at Qu Chen who was standing in the kitchen chatting with Sister Zhang.

"What do you mean?" Huo Yan didn't understand.

"The way of heaven in the mountain spring is complete."

Huo Yan: "?!"

"Help me up, I can bubble again!"

"No need," Li Mo held down the fidgeting Huoyan sword, "I have absorbed all the ways of heaven, and the communication between the ways of heaven and me in the world is now complete, and you can feel it when you go back."

"Really?" Huo Yan was dubious, thought for a while that Li Mo in front of him had returned to normal, and he was relieved that he would not do the absurd behavior before, "Then I won't make a trip."

Li Mo: "Yes."

Huo Yan was quiet for a few moments, but quickly realized belatedly, "Wait... You said this place is not in the Three Realms? Is it another realm?"

"Ah."

"Then how did these mortals survive..." Huo Yan murmured, "Could it be because of the seal of this land?"

Li Mo didn't speak.

In Huo Yan's eyes, this was the default, "This is the first time I've seen a creature that has escaped from the Three Realms."

"How long do they have to live..."

……

"We don't remember how long we have lived." Seeing Qu Chen who was asking questions, Sister Zhang smiled in relief, and raised her hand to put firewood into the stove.

"Sister Zhang...why did you suddenly tell me this?" Qu Chen didn't know why Sister Zhang suddenly brought the topic from baked potatoes to this.

Sister Zhang got up and looked down at the boiling cauldron, "All this is finally coming to an end..."

"...?"

"You put us into the mountain spring?"

"good."

Qu Chen frowned, and connected Sister Zhang's behavior with Li Mo's return to normal in his mind. He pursed his lips, and suddenly a bold thought came to his mind, "You...are the man in black in the ruined temple. descendants of

Sister Zhang raised her head with appreciation in her eyes, "It's not just me who is smart, most of the people in this village are."

"Then why have you all lost your cultivation and are no different from ordinary people?" Qu Chen didn't understand.

"This is our mission." Sister Zhang's tone was very relaxed. "It's not that there have been outsiders in these years, but after all, it's not the one that the ancestor waited for."

Qu Chen was puzzled, "Who are you waiting for?"

What is this for?Didn't he come to do a stand-in mission?Why was he inexplicably involved in another plot?

"You will understand slowly." Sister Zhang patted him on the shoulder.

"Ka——" A crisp sound came from outside, and it spread throughout the entire village in an instant, and a powerful force broke through the ground faintly.

Qu Chen was attracted by the voice, and when she turned around, Sister Zhang disappeared behind her.

"...?" Looking at the iron pot that was still boiling, a chill crept up in his heart for no reason.

Could it be that this entire village...is not a mortal?

What would happen if they were not the people that the ancestor waited for?Become mortal and live here forever until the right one comes?

Who is it waiting for?Is it Li Mo?

His thoughts were in a mess until he was interrupted by Li Mo's voice.

"Qu Chen, go back to the Ancient Green Gate."

He looked up and saw the god standing at the door.

Immediately afterwards, the system's prompt sounded in my mind.

["Drip——Congratulations to the host for completing the hidden side mission 'Sacred Relics' and earning 50 points."]
