Chapter 42 Going Home (please read)
Zhao Si had a heavy responsibility on his shoulders and seemed distracted throughout the afternoon.
Tian Lin also noticed something was wrong with the atmosphere around him. He originally thought that after the "no harvest" in the morning, the gang of handyman disciples would launch a new round of counterattack against him in the afternoon.
Unexpectedly, not only did no one provoke him, but they all appeared to be very restrained and tolerant.
Even though no Shuiling Mine could be sifted through the sieve, no one complained, and they seemed to have suddenly accepted their fate.
Tian Lin looked at Zhao Si and saw that Zhao Si's eyes were wandering. Tian Lin was staring at him so much that the sand in his hand leaked into the river.
"Brother Han? This is my Shuiling Mine for the afternoon."
Tian Lin did not try to test the ideas of these handyman disciples. He took off the cloth bag from his waist and handed it directly to Han Li.
In front of everyone's eyes, Tian Lin returned to his residence, changed clothes, took money and went directly to the kitchen.
The second lady in the kitchen saw Tian Lin coming over and said, "Brother Tian, the kitchen has added a new dish today, please see if it is what you are looking for."
When Er Niang spoke, she opened the small drawer.
Tian Lin glanced at it and said, "Thank you, Mrs. Lao. Please remind me next time there are new dishes. But this dish is not what I want, so let's have a dish of fried bamboo shoots as usual today."
He doesn’t eat ‘Ruyi Fan Flower’ now, because Ruyi Fan Flower can help him improve his internal energy. But its effect is far less powerful than that of 'Fig' - Tian Lin came to the kitchen now just to see if there are any ingredients in the new dishes that can replenish the two auras of 'Earth' and 'Wood'.
As long as he has these two ingredients, he can cultivate the Five Elements Qi.
After coming out of the kitchen, Tian Lin carried the food box and went directly to Daoshan Mountain.
They saw a girl in green clothes sitting on the mat on Wendao Mountain, holding a bowl and looking at Tian Lin sideways.
Tian Lin quickly looked away from her food, carrying the food box directly up the stone steps.
Tian Lin was not surprised that the girl in green clothes went up to Tao Mountain before him.
However, Old Man Gou arrived before him, which surprised Tian Lin.
"Boy, what kind of magic skills are you practicing?"
Tian Lin didn't know if it was because the light was too dark a few nights ago, but he never paid attention to Old Man Gou's eyes.
But today under the skylight, he only saw Old Man Gou's eyes as red as if they were bleeding.
"What magic skills have I practiced?"
Tian Lin calmly sat down at level 95 and opened the food box in an orderly manner.
Watching Tian Lin bring out a plate of fried bamboo shoots, and then watching Tian Lin pull out a peach from the food box, Old Man Gou said: "You are not practicing magic skills, how come you reached level ninety-five so quickly?"
Tian Lin said: "How do you know that I didn't hide my cultivation before?"
"Have you hidden your cultivation?"
Old Man Gou watched Tian Lin eating vegetables and peaches with suspicion. He suddenly said: "I think you are a spy of the Blood Cult."
Blood Cult?
Tian Lin raised his head. This was not the first time he heard this name.
When the market opened, when he and Han Li went to the Zhao family's shop, the Zhao family's servant said that Quzhou was already ruled by the Blood Cult.
"What is the Blood Cult? Is it a cult? Is it a cultivator?"
Old Man Gou stared at Tian Lin, as if he wanted to see a flaw in Tian Lin's expression, but he still failed in the end.
He sighed and said: "The Blood Sect is not the orthodox immortal sect of our Zhao Dynasty, but a cult composed of a group of Huahua Lang; they don't have spiritual stones, so they use human blood to make elixirs. They are the targets of the imperial court and the immortal sect—— ”
He was talking about the cruelty of the Blood Cult, but his eyes were full of envy.
He said: "Do you know? Cultivators are divided into heavenly spiritual roots, double spiritual roots, three spiritual roots and false spiritual roots. Those with heavenly spiritual roots are just fine. Where can those with three spiritual roots and false spiritual roots go? Four or five types of spiritual stone cultivation? But the Blood Cult is different. No matter what kind of spiritual root it is, the Blood Cult cultivates blood true energy, and only blood pills can enhance cultivation."
"But this kind of blood elixir requires killing people to refine the blood, which is the fashion during the Qi training period. When it comes to building the foundation, I don't know how many people will be killed."
After Tian Lin finished speaking, Old Man Gou glared and said: "The path to seeking the Tao is to go against the will of heaven. Even the heavens can be reversed, so why bother with tens of thousands of human lives?"
"Senior Gou's heart towards the Tao is indeed very strong!"
Tian Lin looked at Old Man Gou with a playful smile, and Old Man Gou realized that he was still a 'decent' person now.
He snorted coldly, stood up and walked down the stone steps.
At the same time, the girl in green clothes who was eating at the mountain gate came up the mountain.
She stopped at level ninety-five and stared at Tian Lin's food box.
Tian Lin felt faintly uneasy, but he didn't expect that the girl in green clothes turned around and went down the mountain again. After a while, she also carried her food box directly across Tian Lin and climbed up the fairy ladder to the second platform. Tian Lin frowned, looking at the disappearing figure of the girl in green clothes, feeling baffled.
He couldn't figure out why the girl in green clothes wanted to imitate him in carrying the food box up the fairy ladder, so he could only focus on his own practice.
He didn't know how long it had passed, but he seemed to hear a conversation.
When he opened his eyes, the sky was completely dark, and Bai Ye asked Han Li at level ninety: "Brother Han, until now, don't you dare to take the last step?"
Han Li had his back to a few people at level ninety-eight, so no one could see his expression clearly. They could only hear him saying: "Perhaps if I practice for another year or two, I can set foot on the last stone step. . But now, I’m afraid I’m not strong enough.”
Bai Ye didn't say anything. The fat woman at level ninety-five said enviously: "Level ninety-nine. Once you step in, you can become an outer disciple. When we see Brother Han again in the future, we will call you Manager Han." .”
Han Li laughed heartily, but turned around without much of a smile on his face. He said: "That's just because I'm one step ahead of everyone else. I believe that in the near future, everyone will be able to get on that platform."
After speaking, he looked at Tian Lin.
Tian Lin looked at the sky. At this time, the moon was hanging high, and it was already time to fall asleep.
He really wanted to ask the gang of handyman disciples during the day what plot they had against him, so he simply locked the food box and followed Han Li down the mountain.
When the two arrived at the mountain gate, Tian Lin was about to speak when Han Li said: "Brother Tian, do you want to go up to the ninety-nine-level stone platform?"
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Tian Lin was stunned and asked with a smile: "Brother Han, don't you want to?"
"Think! I have been away from home for thirty or forty years, and I think about it every night in my dreams."
Tian Lin said: "Then I have to congratulate you, brother, for your wish is about to come true."
Indeed, compared to Old Man Gou and a few others, Han Li will be able to become an outer disciple in two years.
Being able to leap over the dragon gate in two years is very worth the wait and effort.
"But two years is too long, I can't wait any longer."
After Han Li finished speaking, Tian Lin's face changed slightly and he advised: "Brother Han has been waiting for thirty or forty years, so why are you not willing to wait for even two years now? I advise you to go up the stone steps in two years!"< br>
Han Li smiled and said as he walked down the mountain: "I am not anxious to become an outer disciple, but I want to go home."
"Go home?"
Tian Lin even frowned this time. He blocked Han Li's way, looked at Han Li and said:
"Brother Han has spent forty years cultivating immortality. Needless to say, there is bitterness and sorrow in this - now it is so easy to become famous, why do you think of going home?"
In fact, he already had an idea in mind, and as expected, he heard Han Li say: "If it's just to cultivate immortality, I'm not afraid of two years, let alone twenty years; but I'm waiting impatiently, and I'm afraid that my family won't be able to wait any longer - —
You also heard what the Zhao family guy said when the market opened! My hometown has now become the jurisdiction of the Blood Cult. I don’t know how many people in Quzhou have lost their lives at the hands of the villains of the Blood Cult. During this time, I always have nightmares about your sister-in-law, your nephew, and my mother-in-law. ”
Tian Lin saw him crying and didn't know what to say to comfort him for a moment.
What he actually wanted to say was that when Han Li went back now, he would probably only see the bodies of his wife and children.
It's just that these words are unlucky and too heartless.
Ask yourself, if your family is in danger, can you practice with peace of mind?
"When does Brother Han plan to leave?"
Tian Lin got out of the way and was planning how to succeed Han Li as supervisor after Han Li left.
"I'll go see the third steward tomorrow and ask him to allow me to say goodbye."
The two returned to their residence. Seeing that Han Li was so distracted, Tian Lin couldn't bother him anymore with his own affairs.
Fortunately, early the next morning, he finally found out what those handyman disciples were planning behind his back.
The bell just rang, and not long after Han Li's whistle sounded, Zhao Si led Xiaoyue over.
Before Zhao and the others came to Tian Lin, they said happily: "Miss Xiaoyue, look, it's him, the one who caused all of us to have no food to eat."
Although a group of people were afraid of the whip in Xiaoyue's hand, they all complained to Xiaoyue:
"Miss Xiaoyue, you have to make the decision for us. This guy surnamed Tian bullies us and robs us of our Shuiling Mine because of his advanced martial arts skills."
When they were talking, Xiaoyue also looked at Tian Lin, and heard Xiaoyue ask Tian Lin: "Has your cultivation level reached the master level?"
Seeing Tian Lin nodding, Xiaoyue nodded with satisfaction and said: "It's not bad. I will tell the young master about your performance and let the young master reward you well."
At this time, the gang of handyman disciples had already sensed that something was wrong in the atmosphere. Xiaoyue didn't seem to have any deep grudge against Tian Lin. They seemed to have misjudged the situation.
Just when a group of people were worried, Han Li's voice rang out from the stilted building: "What are you doing standing still? Why don't you start work soon?"
Zhao Si was the first to run towards the river. He was not trying to grab the position, but simply felt that the situation was not good and was afraid that the whip would fall on his head again, so he ran away first.
A group of handyman disciples dispersed, and only Tian Lin and Xiao Yue were left in the stilted building.
