THE LING TIAN LEGEND
episode 3

Chapter 03: The Road of the Yellow Springs

Ling Tian was filled with the sensation of revenge; the moment he saw the desperate expressions on Ling Xue’er, Ling Chao, Ling Han and everyone during the explosion, he was really overjoyed! It was a pity that he did not have time to enjoy the sweet feeling of revenge.

After the heaven-shaking explosion, Ling Tian felt his body turn light as he saw a bright path appear before him. Ling Tian was very confused as he wondered if he had actually survived such an explosion. After examining his body, he realized that he was completely unharmed and felt confused.

He unconsciously walked along the path of light. As he moved, he immediately sensed that something was different in his body. His body was completely floating as he moved forward …

Ling Tian could not help but bitterly laugh. So, I am dead! This road must be the famous Yellow Springs Road. When I was alive, I had thought about this path many times and wanted to tread this path. Right now, my wish can be said to be true, Ling Tian thought as he mocked himself.

This path was different from what he had thought; to the side and back it was all dark, except in the direction he was heading, which shone with a dim light. The path seemed to be very stable and he had no idea what lay beneath it. Is it made of stone or mud? Ling Tian could not help his curiosity.

Ling Tian tried to move backwards but his body was unwilling to move! Then, he tried to walk to the side but was unable to do so as well. It was as if there was an invisible barrier preventing him from doing so. It seemed that one could only walk forward on this path; it was impossible to walk sideways or backwards.

As Ling Tian floated forward, he felt an inexplicable indifference in his heart despite his death. Hahaha, Yellow Springs Road and Grandma Meng's soup; I, Ling Tian, look forward to it! The sooner I drink Grandma Meng's soup, the sooner I can forget all the memories from my past life! Ling Tian prayed in his heart. [1]

Ling Tian suddenly realized that he was not alone on this path. After closely observing, he realized that there was a continuous flow of people with bitter faces behind him. As they walked, they began to complain and deliberately moved slowly. Every few steps they took, they looked back as if they had regrets in their lives.

Ling Tian could not help but laugh silently, thinking, it seems like only I am the one who can walk this path happily! Thinking of this, Ling Tian could not help but feel pride in his heart as he laughed in excitement.

As he began to laugh, Ling Tian became the center of everyone's focus! There was actually someone who was very happy to die! Those who tried to slow down their footsteps instinctively stared at him.

“Damn it, so it hurts so much. This father will beat you to death!” A spirit ran forward furiously as he grabbed Ling Tian. Just when Ling Tian wanted to dodge it, he realized that the right hand of the spirit was actually passing through his body. Ling Tian could not help but laugh to himself: So, I cannot be injured as a spirit.

Seeing that he was unable to capture Ling Tian, the spirit did not bother to waste his effort and simply scolded, This “Daddy here has no enmity with you. It doesn't matter if you want to take revenge with the Ling family . Why do you have to drag me down? ” As this person moved, more and more people found Ling Tian and soon, a crowd of over ten spirits began to gather around him, attacking him with dirty words.

As Ling Tian thought about it for a moment, he immediately understood that these people were definitely guests at the wedding party who never imagined that they would die before even enjoying the wedding party.

Ling Tian did not have the slightest bit of guilt. Having been part of the Ling family before, she was educated about how society was a human-eating-human world. He no longer cared about things like life and death. He did not care at all about the death of an ordinary person. It's just survival of the fittest. Everyone had the opportunity to become an unrivalled expert; it was all a matter of how much effort was put in. If you don't work hard and throw away your life, who should you blame? The sky gives all humans the same opportunity. If you are not hardworking and become cannon fodder, do not complain!

Seeing the faces of all these angry people, Ling Tian suddenly thought of Ling Xue’er and his gang and wondered if they were all also on this path. As Ling Tian thought about that, he automatically stopped by the roadside to wait for them. He wanted to see the expression of heartless people who could harm their own families.

A short while later, there was a large group of people who emerged from the darkness. These people were walking slower and cursing incessantly! The one who walked right in front was the old man, Ling Jing! Behind him were Ling Chao, Ling Han and Ling Hu .. HAHAHA, none of them were missing! Seeing the restless expressions on their faces, Ling Tian was really overjoyed.

Ling Jing and everyone present were completely down, unaware that the person causing their death was right beside them, and continued cursing as they walked.

Ling Tian could not help but laugh to himself. Just as he wanted to continue walking behind them, he saw a lonely and beautiful white figure appear in front of him. She was still wearing a white wedding dress. He was Ling Xueer!

Ling Tian walked forward with a smile and said, “Adik Xueer, as the saying goes ‘we will definitely have a chance to meet again’, we meet again.”

Seeing Ling Xue’er, Ling Tian did not see the expected hatred in him. He just smiled at her and passed her.

Deeply puzzled, Ling Tian asked, “You don't hate me? Don't you blame me for destroying you during the happiest time of your life?”

Ling Xueer then stopped and faced him calmly. Then, he said while sneering, “The most beautiful moment of my life? Hahaha, Ling Tian, what an incredible joke. Know You? Not only do I not hate you, but also, in fact, I'm very grateful to you! ”

Ling Tian rubbed his head and frowned, “I don't understand what you mean.”

A dazzling smile appeared on Ling Xue's face as she said, “Brother Tian, did you know? After trapping you back then, I had a nightmare for a year. You are right in front of me regardless of whether I wake up or not. Know ye? I was almost tortured by you until I went crazy. I secretly ran out to meet you a few times but had no guts to appear in front of you. I was afraid, afraid of the look of disgust on your face. Now, I'm very relaxed. I've returned all my debt to you and I don't have to have nightmares anymore. That feeling is incredible! ” As he said that, a relaxed smile appeared on his face.

Ling Xueer replied with satisfaction, “You don't need to be too sarcastic. Now, we're all the same. Despite paying that debt, I still owe you now. Hahaha...” Ling Xueer then continued with a smile, “Do you know how unwilling I am and how upset I am towards the marriage? Do you know how much I hate that Huang JiaYun? Now, I'm finally free of all this stuff! I'm really happy, so happy!”

Ling Tian revealed a thoughtful look and asked, “If you don't want to and don't like it, why did you agree to marry him?”

As if Ling Xueer was surprised that Ling Tian would ask that, she looked at him with wondering eyes while complaining, “Why? For family! For the sake of family ambition! Being the daughter in the family, my destiny is doomed; I must definitely sacrifice myself for the family! I don't have the courage to betray my family! ” He continues with a naughty smile, “Thank God, you obliterated all my problems with bombs! Haha, if I have a second life, I would rather live in the mountains and become a humble hunter's daughter. I definitely don't want to be reborn in such a family. ”

Ling Tian became speechless as the two stood face to face in silence. After a while, Ling Xue’er raised his head and said, “Brother Tian, thank you. If we had a second life and were born into the same family, I would definitely be your most caring sister. I will .. . go first. ” He then turned around and left. After a few steps, he suddenly stopped and said gently to Ling Tian with his back facing him, “Brother Tian, forgive me!”

Ling Tian immediately raised his head but realized that Ling Xueer was no longer visible. From afar, the crowd still continued to flow but Ling Tian just stood there with heartache.

Perhaps, if he were to see something from Ling Xueer's point of view, although the method used to trap him might be a little despicable, he said, how could a direct descendant like him allow authority and power to fall into the hands of someone from a side branch. ? The moment they lost authority, they would definitely suffer the oppression of the entire family. Such an outcome was something that an arrogant direct descendant would not be able to bear.

At that moment, the bone-chilling hatred Ling Tian felt towards Ling Xueer disappeared. This woman suffered a bad name for half her life for the sake of her family. For her family, she sacrificed her most precious marriage. However, the only thing he gave her was a heaven-shaking explosion! That was when, the hatred in his heart turned into tenderness.

Sister Xueer, if we have a next life, I hope you will be born into an ordinary family. Enjoy the freedom to love, the freedom to marry, the freedom to enjoy life freely. Facing the direction that Xueer had entered, Ling Tian sent out his blessing.

For the first time, Ling Tian began to question whether his decision to take revenge was right or wrong. He was unwillingly unwilling to think about Ling Xue's last words, Brother Tian, thank you. If we had a second life and were born in the same family, I would definitely be your most caring sister!

Ling Tian felt a bitterness in his heart as he said to himself: Xueer, if we have a second life and were born in the same family, that is, I'll definitely be a good brother and protect you from all grievances.

Next life! Ling Tian suddenly recalled these words. Since there is indeed the Yellow Spring Road and the Bridge of Immortality [2], then there must be the next life! Thinking of this, Ling Tian became agitated as he dashed towards the direction Ling Xueer was going and shouted, “Xueer, wait for me, let's go together! In the next life, I will still be your brother!”

As Ling Tian ran, he was faster than all the floating spirits. In the blink of an eye, he had already dashed far away but could not find Ling Xueer. At that moment, he could not help but be disappointed and frustrated. In front was a white arch bridge with a misty light, which was definitely the Bridge of Immortality. On the side of the bridge, there was a large stone pavilion with people on it staring at him dejectedly. It must be the Home-Seeing Pavilion [3].

Ling Tian was extremely anxious because he knew that once he walked over the Bridge of Immortality, he would definitely have to drink grandmother Meng's soup. He wanted to find where Ling Xueer was. However, he could not take a step back at all.

What Ling Tian did not know was that when he ran forward while shouting, there was a gentle figure on the side of the road that was crying, and he was Ling Xueer. Seeing Ling Tian shout as he passed by, Ling Xueer was deeply touched. She wanted to cry at him, but was unable to say anything due to her tears of joy. He was overjoyed, thinking, Brother Tian has forgiven me! Brother Tian has forgiven me! Excitement overflowed within him, he could not help but cry. He had never expected that the knot in his heart that had been there for so many years would come loose on this cold and heartless Yellow Springs Road after he died.

Ling Tian faintly heard the sound of crying from behind him and recognized that it was Ling Xue's voice. Filled with excitement, he turned around and wanted to walk back with all his might. But he remained glued to the ground. Anxiously, he thought about the electric drill in the world, Since I am already without a form, I might be able to pass by if I have to spin like an electric drill!

As he thought about it, he raised his hand to the sky and started to spin on the spot. As Ling Tian felt that he was able to generate wind by spinning, he spun towards the direction he came in without a hitch. All the surrounding spirits started to lose their balance due to his actions and cursed him.

Suddenly, all of the surrounding spirits suddenly disappeared as the crazy brat suddenly started spinning in the middle of the road.

All spirits cannot hold their breath; there are strange things every year, but not as many as this year! It didn't matter if he was a maniac when he was alive. At the very least, there was an opportunity for them to reincarnate after death. But now, this brother is completely insane on Yellow Springs Road! It actually resulted in the spirits of others being completely destroyed! Who knows what mistakes they made in their past lives …

As Ling Tian continued to spin, he slowly advanced forward while thinking, This method is indeed useful! Just when he was very satisfied and took a few steps forward, he saw a white figure in front of him that looked like Ling Xueer, approaching him with open arms. Excitedly, Ling Tian started to spin even faster …

Feeling as if he had broken something, he suddenly felt extremely relaxed. Her surroundings no longer had any lethargic feelings and she almost tripped. He could not be bothered with anything as he stood up after staggering for a moment. Just when he wanted to greet Ling Xueer, Ling Tian was completely dumbfounded as he opened his eyes, “Yes! This ... where is this cursed place?”

[1]: It is a traditional Chinese belief that one would drink Meng grandmother's soup when they were in hell to forget things from past lives before entering reincarnation.

[2]: The Bridge of Immortality is a bridge where the spirits of the dead must pass on Yellow Springs Road to reach Meng's grandmother before entering reincarnation.

[3]: The Home Observer Pavilion is a pavilion where souls can see their loved ones in the living world. This is where Meng's grandmother is.
