Chapter 122 The Tomb of the Jindan Ancestor
For the next half month, Tian Lin stayed in the illusion.
He spent a lot of time eating water spirit rice at the twenty-first level. Even he himself didn't remember how much water spirit rice he ate, but he couldn't feel the existence of the sword intention.
With no choice but to do so, Tian Lin had to temporarily give up on the illusion at the twenty-first level and climb higher.
While Tian Lin was climbing the mountain, the other outer disciples, including the handyman disciples, were not idle either.
Especially at Jianfeng, the talisman papers that no one cared about in the past are now all sold out no matter how expensive they are.
Everyone is preparing for the next stage of life and death, but Tian Lin is still climbing.
"Hall Master Huang, we have already arrived at Kun Lake. We are about to get the Foundation Establishment Pool. Why don't you leave?"
In the fantasy world, Tian Lin was now on the edge of a lake.
The big lake looks very ordinary. Apart from the cool breeze and the opportunity for fishing, there is nothing special about it.
Tian Lin looked doubtfully at the old man in Taoist robes who was talking next to him, and then at the middle-aged man on the other side.
It's just an old man in Taoist robes. Although he is respectful to Tian Lin, he is not afraid of him.
But the middle-aged man looked very humble. When Tian Lin looked at him, he bowed slightly.
Tian Lin glanced at the embroidery on the middle-aged man's inner lining and knew that this was a blood cultist, presumably one of his subordinates, so Tian Lin asked him politely:
"Master Zhou said that there is a foundation building pool here. Do you think Master Zhou would lie to me?"
The middle-aged man hurriedly said: "If you think about it carefully, everything that Zhou Xianshi said does not seem to be false. Moreover, Zhou Xianshi and the hall master have been friends for many years, so I think they are very reliable."
Tian Lin smiled and looked at the old man in Taoist robes with squinted eyes:
"Yes, I think if it hadn't been for you, Master Zhou, I wouldn't have been able to cross the ocean from Yulong Continent to the border of Cangzhou. Now time flies, how old was Master Zhou back then?"
After Tian Lin asked, the old man in Taoist robe said: "I was less than thirty years old at that time. Time flies so fast. I never imagined that more than forty years have passed in the blink of an eye."
Tian Lin nodded slightly. At this time, he could confirm that the first section of the ninety-ninth stone steps to the second section of the thirtieth stone steps was the experience of Patriarch Yao Yue in the forty years since he was in Cangzhou.
"Yes, after forty years, you are half buried in the loess. And I am also over a hundred years old and dying."
"Just because we don't have much time, we should go into Kun Lake to find the Foundation Establishment Pool."
Tian Lin had seen the portrait in Zhong Wuji's travel notes and knew that he would be attacked by Zhou Xianshi and another man during this trip.
According to Zhong Wuji's records, although Master Zhou Xian had the twelfth level of Qi refining, his spells were only at the mid-level and minor level.
As for that man, his cultivation level is not low, but his spells are only mid-level.
But Tian Lin's experience told him that other people's illusions are different from his own.
The people or things in other people's illusions are all fake, and their strength is greatly reduced.
But many times the people or things in his fantasy world are not real or fake. At least the strength of these people has not been compromised.
"In order to build the foundation pool, of course I will go down to Kun Lake - but even if I want to go down to Kun Lake, I have to be well prepared before going down."
Tian Lin remembered that in the travel notes, Master Zhou and the Hanzi were attacking Ancestor Yao Yue in the water.
He was sure that Kun Lake was a 'bait' or a 'trap', so of course he refused to go into the lake.
Seeing this, Master Zhou Xian frowned and said:
"It seems that Hall Master Huang still can't trust me - well, since Hall Master Huang can't trust me, why not lend me the Zhou family's wooden plaque first. After I successfully build the foundation, I can return the wooden plaque to Huang Tang Lord.”
Tian Lin frowned. Although he had some guesses in his heart, he still pretended not to know: "What kind of wooden sign is the Zhou family?"
"Haha, of course it is the Zhou family's heirloom wooden plaque held only by the head of the Zhou family."
Zhou Xianshi frowned and smiled with a little anger: "Why, Hall Master Huang himself refuses to enter Kun Lake, so he won't let us enter Kun Lake, right?"
Tian Lin heard this and touched his waist.
He was sure that there was a wooden sign in the storage bag, but there was indeed a wooden sign hanging on his waist.
"Pose a pen to draw the rivers and lakes, and see the world in the palm of your hand - it turns out it means taking charge of the lakes and lakes. I understand."
Tian Lin laughed. When Master Zhou reached out to take the token in his hand, Tian Lin suddenly took the token away and asked Master Zhou: "How come you know everything about the secret of the Zhou family's wooden plaque?"
Master Zhou Xian looked at Tian Lin with more suspicion, but still replied: "You knew I was a disciple of the Zhou family, why did you still ask questions knowingly?"
Although Master Zhou’s surname was Zhou, Tian Lin never thought that he was a member of the Zhou family.
In fact, he met Master Zhou Xian earlier than Zhou Qing.
If Master Zhou had not captured people and sold them to the Blood Cult, Patriarch Yao Yue would not have been able to reach Cangzhou.
And Tian Lin’s understanding of the Zhou family is limited to Patriarch Yao Yue’s ambush on Zhou Qing——
Because the time span of the fantasy was so long, although Tian Lin knew that the Zhou family was a well-known family in Pingyang County, apart from Zhou Shoufan and his son, the only Zhou family he had ever met was Zhou Qing.
"Since you are a member of the Zhou family, why do you tell me, an outsider, the secrets of the family? Aren't you afraid that the ancestors of the Zhou family will come to you, an unworthy descendant, in your dreams?"
Most people would be angry at Tian Lin's words, but Master Zhou Xian gave up his doubts about Tian Lin after hearing this.
He smiled and said: "Sure enough, Hall Master Huang still doesn't trust me, thinking that I want to avenge the Zhou family. In fact, there is no need - although you destroyed the Zhou family, I don't hate you."
Zhou Xianshi said: "Even if you don't kill all the Zhou family, Hall Master Huang, I will do it myself. I think the Zhou family has been passed down for generations and has grown countless Shuiling rice. Has it ever benefited me? Although I am only a side branch and my talent is not very good." Okay. But my devotion to the Tao is no worse than that of my direct descendants. Why do I have to earn my living by selling people at sea? "< br>
Tian Lin nodded and said, "Yes, heaven is never fair to people."
After finishing speaking, Tian Lin threw the token in his hand towards Master Zhou and said, "Okay, I'll lend you the token and you can go down alone. After you find the Foundation Establishment Pool, come up and find us."
He said "we", obviously asking the man next to him to stay on the shore.
Immortal Master Zhou looked a little ugly and said: "That is the cemetery of a powerful Jindan man. How can I dare to break into it without permission? Besides, Hall Master Huang asked me to go down alone. Aren't you afraid that after I find the Foundation Establishment Pool, I will steal all the benefits?"
Tian Lin said with a smile: "This belongs to your Zhou family. If you can monopolize the foundation building pool, then I have nothing to say."
After hearing this, Master Zhou Xian first glanced at the man next to Tian Lin, and then said to Tian Lin: "Master Huang, look into my eyes."
Tian Lin really looked at him.
But soon, Master Zhou's expression changed, he took two steps back and shouted: "Brother Jiao, do it quickly!"
The man next to Tian Lin was stunned and struck Tian Lin with the knife in his hand.

Tian Lin Feng Xingshu disappeared in an instant and appeared behind Master Zhou Xian in the blink of an eye.
Master Zhou Xian knew something was wrong, but by the time he turned around with his sword, it was already too late.
Tian Lin's flying sword cut off Master Zhou's head, and then hung it between the man's eyebrows.
The man still held the knife in his hand, looking at the flying sword between his eyebrows, and he swallowed in fear.
"Tell me, what benefits did Lao Zhou give you, and you want to betray me?"
The man knelt on the ground, threw the knife aside, and begged for mercy:
"I beg the Hall Master to forgive me. The villain was so greedy for profit that he was seduced by the surname Zhou and coveted the position of the Hall Master - the villain begged the Hall Master to spare his life."
Tian Lin smiled when he heard this, walked up to the man, took off the sword hanging between his eyebrows, and then put it on his neck.
"Tell me again, is there really a foundation-building pool under Kun Lake?"
The man felt the cold touch of the flying sword on his neck, and cold sweat poured down his forehead.
He didn't dare to get up, but still knelt down to Master Zhou's body and said:
"As far as my subordinates know, Kun Lake is indeed the ancestral property of the Zhou family. It's just that because the surface of Kun Lake is unremarkable, no one has paid attention to it.
A subordinate with the same surname Zhou also went to the bottom of the lake, and indeed saw a keyhole on a stone wall at the bottom of the lake. I just don’t know if there is really a tomb treasure behind this keyhole. ”
Tian Lin heard this and asked him again: "The tomb is built under the water. Even if you are a Qi Refining monk, how long can you hold your breath in the water?"
The man was stunned, and subconsciously turned his head to look at Tian Lin, but Tian Lin scratched a bloody mark on his neck. He immediately stopped turning his head and said in a dumb voice:
"Master, didn't you bring the Qi-holding Pill with you? If you don't have to breathe for a day with the Qing-holding Pill, it doesn't matter."
In addition to his own storage bag when Tian Lin entered the illusion, there is now also the storage bag of Ancestor Yao Yue.
But at this time, he could not open the storage bag of Patriarch Yao Yue - according to Zhong Wuji, everything in the illusion was fake, so the storage bag could not be used by others.
But Tian Lin's situation was different. He didn't think that things in the fantasy world couldn't be used in the fantasy world. He was just naive and couldn't open Ancestor Yao Yue's storage bag.
"Show me your breath-holding pill."
After Tian Lin finished speaking, the man tremblingly took out the Qi-holding Pill from his storage bag.
Tian Lin frowned and glanced, only to see the prompt word displayed:
[Yirong Dan, which can change a person’s appearance for twelve hours, is edible]
The man knelt on the ground, unaware that Tian Lin was distressed at this moment. He only noticed that Tian Lin didn't speak for a long time, so his body was shaking a little.
"Okay, you come with me to the bottom of the lake."
Tian Lin didn't wait for the man to speak, he mentioned the man and went to the bottom of the lake.
There is no prompt word in the ordinary lake water. Not only Tian Lin felt a sense of suffocation, but the man also felt the coolness in the water and the uncomfortable feeling of suffocation.
He stared at the breath-holding pill thrown away by Tian Lin, and had no choice but to bite the bullet and dive to the bottom of the lake.
The two of them dived a distance of more than ten feet, and after avoiding a group of fish and shrimps, the man led Tian Lin to a place leaning against a stone wall.
I saw the man push aside a piece of green algae on the stone wall, and soon exposed a round hole as big as the mouth of a bowl.
Tian Lin gave the wooden sign to the man, and the man reached into the round hole with the wooden sign.
Not long after, Tian Lin vaguely heard a "click" sound, and then the stone wall in front of the two men shook violently, not only shaking off a pile of green algae attached to it, but also sending up waves of sand.
The turbid sand blocked people's vision, but Tian Lin still saw the spacious space inside the boulder after it was opened.
When Tian Lin saw this, he threw the man behind the stone gate while he was struggling.
As soon as the man got rid of Tian Lin's control, he ran out of the stone door and escaped.
But as soon as he turned around, a large amount of blood poured out of his back before he could walk out of the stone door.
The bright red blood instantly dyed the water at the bottom of the lake red. Tian Lin felt that his eyes were blurred for a while. When he opened his eyes again, he had returned to Daoshan Mountain.
"Is it really the tomb of the Jindan Patriarch? But why is the key to the Jindan Patriarch's tomb in the hands of the Zhou family?"
