Chapter 136 Meeting with old friends
The red flying boat flew at high altitude for only a moment before it passed over the densely populated town and appeared on the mountainous mountains.
"Senior Brother Tian, Senior Brother Zhao, our Qi Sect is in front of you."
On the bow of the ship, Qiu Lingsu in black robes pointed directly at a red gourd in front of him.
I saw a red gourd as big as a mountain hanging upside down in the sky among the clouds in the distance, with its mouth facing the several peaks below.
"The red gourd was a magic weapon used by the ancestor when he was still alive, and was later used as a mountain-protecting formation. As long as an enemy rushes into our weapon sect, even a strong foundation builder will be strangled by the aura spit out from the gourd.
It's a pity that the sect doesn't have enough spiritual stones and can no longer afford this gourd. Now this red gourd has become a decoration in the sect. ”
As Qiu Ling spoke, he drove the flying boat under his feet to land on a slope below.
Speaking of which, the structure of the Qi Sect is different from that of the Yaoyue Sect.
Qi Zong has eight sub-peaks, each of which has a mountain gate.
Eight auxiliary peaks surround the main peak in the middle, and the top of the main peak is facing the red gourd above.
The place where Qiu Ling settled was Xunmen, one of the eight gates of Qi Zong. This was where the guest hall of Qi Zong was located.
"Junior Sister Qiu, Senior Brother Zhou."
As soon as the flying boat landed, three young men walked down the stone stairs facing the mountain gate.
The leading young man was wearing a black Taoist robe and had already walked out of the mountain gate in a few steps.
Seeing him stop again, Senior Brother Tong Tian Lin and Zhao raised their hands and asked, "Are these two senior brothers from the Yaoyue Sect?"
Tian Lin took a step forward, held hands with the young man and said, "I am Tian Lin, a disciple of Baihua Peak Palm Peak."
Hearing the words "Baihua Peak", two young men in white clothes came out behind this young man. One of them said in a bad tone: "So, you are the senior brothers of Han Numo?"
Another young man in white also spoke: "You came just in time. Han Nv Mo is a disciple of your Baihua Peak. She killed so many of our junior brothers. You Baihua Peak should also give us an explanation."
"Tian is here to arrest Han Yue and return her to the clan. If she does something harmful to nature, Baihuafeng will definitely give an explanation to the senior brothers and people in Quzhou."
"The people of Quzhou and my fellow disciples of Qi Sect do not need Baihua Peak to answer to us.
The murderer was Han Yue, and my fellow disciples from the Qi Sect will capture Demon Han and bring her back to the sect, and use her head to pay homage to the dead soul. ”
The young man in black robe spoke at this time, no longer talking to Tian Lin and Senior Brother Zhao, and only said to Zhou Shiqiu and Qiu Ling: "Senior Brother Zhou, Junior Sister Qiu, let's go up the mountain now."
Qiu Ling looked at the young man in black robe, then at Tian Lin and Senior Brother Zhao, walked towards the young man in black robe with a smile and said:
"Senior brother, it's a good thing that we invited two senior brothers from the Yue Sect to take action. Otherwise, my little sister might not be able to escape the vicious hands of the two rebellious sects."
She said good things for Tian Lin and the two of them, and the young man in black robe looked at Tian Lin and Brother Zhao and cupped his hands and said:
"Thank you to the two friends who invited Yue Sect for your generous intervention. Why don't you follow Qu Bu to Zhi Ke Hall for a glass of wine, and then let Junior Sister Qiu take you to play in the sect for a few days. After we kill Devil Han, we can The body of Devil Han was returned to the two clans.”
Senior Brother Zhao behind Tian Lin wanted to speak, but Tian Lin raised his hand to block him.
Tian Lin returned the salute to the young man in black robe, and then said to Zhou Shiqiu and Qiu Ling:
"Tian has other important matters during this trip, so he will not join the Qi Sect with Senior Brother Zhou and Junior Sister Qiu. If there is a chance in the future, we will get together another day."
Qiu Ling knew that the brothers in the sect did not want to see Tian Lin and did not want to drag Tian Lin up the mountain.
Zhou Shiqiu was not from the Qi Sect, and it was even more impossible for him to pretend to be a host and invite Tian Lin.
He had no choice but to cup his hands and watch Tian and Lin leave.
Tian Lin did not take the flying boat this time, but went to the nearest county town based on the memory he had when he arrived.
Senior Brother Zhao followed Tian Lin closely and couldn't help but said: "That guy named Qu is too arrogant. He has made it clear that he will not let us bring Junior Sister Han back to the sect."
Tian Lin said: "Junior sister Han was born in Baihua Peak. If she killed many disciples of the Qi Sect, it would be normal for others not to treat us badly."
After Tian Lin finished speaking, he suddenly stopped.
Senior Brother Zhao was stunned for a moment, looking at the village that appeared in the distance.
I saw only a few locust trees standing in the village in the distance, and then there were wooden houses that fell into pieces.
Those wooden houses have long lost their original appearance, and they were all burned into black charcoal.
A few wild dogs came from nowhere, searching for something among the collapsed charcoal in the village.
"It's not that far from Qizong here, right?"
Brother Zhao was somewhat shocked and walked into the abandoned village.
Tian Lin followed closely, just as a wild dog passed by him with a human arm in its mouth.
Tian Lin didn't move, but Senior Brother Zhao did.
He waved Taibai, and the wild dog instantly broke into two pieces, lying on the ground and snarling at the fallen man's arm.
"This must be the work of those blood cultists."
Senior Brother Zhao said something, but Tian Lin shook his head:
"It may not be the work of the Blood Cult. I see that the crops outside have been harvested. Looking at the marks of the windlass and the rice that sank in the mud, it seems that the villagers moved away on their own."
"Then who burned this house?"
Tian Lin suddenly turned his head and looked at the locust tree at the head of the village.
I saw a line of words carved on a sword on the locust tree: "Half of the villagers in Yuyan Village connected with the Blood Sect and secretly established an alchemy room. Now they burn their houses and destroy their rooms, thinking that they will learn from others later - Qu Boutong."
"It's the Senior Brother Qu we met today."
Senior Brother Zhao said: "It seems that most of the people in this village have become blood cultists, so the whole village was burned down by him."
Tian Lin then said to Senior Brother Zhao: "You and I should change clothes first and go to the county seat to inquire about Junior Sister Han."
They were wearing the Taoist robes of the Yao Yue Sect for this trip, which avoided misunderstandings among fellow sect members, but also allowed the Blood Cultists to identify them at a glance.
Tian Lin originally planned to go to Qizong to inquire about the news, but the people in Qizong did not welcome him, so he had to go to the surrounding counties.
Since there is no need to enter the Qi Sect, there is no need to wear the Taoist robes of the Yaoyue Sect.
The two of them walked in tandem and found a place to change out of their Taoist robes. This time, Tian Lin Yujian took Senior Brother Zhao directly to the hinterland of Quzhou Blood Cult.
Most of Quzhou has been occupied by the Blood Sect. There are no foundation-building experts from the Blood Sect waiting in these places, and the disciples of the Qi Sect can drive straight into the hinterland at any time.
But although the Blood Sect was undefended, the Qi Sect also lost control of this land.
The people here are civilians during the day and blood cultists at night.
Qi Zong can massacre villages and make a land barren.
But to massacre the city?
Of course the foundation-building elders of Qi Sect can do it, but they can't find the meaning of doing so.
Especially at this time, even the villages and towns around Qizong have people secretly practicing blood zhenqi——
Can Qi Zong still kill the entire people of Quzhou?
If everyone dies, what meaning does the white land of Quzhou have?
"These people have been selling blood pills openly." On the street, Senior Brother Zhao's eyes flickered to the butcher shop.
In addition to selling pork in those butcher shops, the butcher shop owners would also put some blood pills next to the chopping board for retail sale.
Senior Brother Zhao saw with his own eyes a woman walking to a butcher shop with her child in her arms and asking about the price of blood pills.
"Brother, do you think Yingzhou in the future will become Quzhou now?"
Senior Brother Zhao followed closely behind Tian Lin, as if he was afraid of being lost as the adult's child.
Tian Lin looked away from the people around him and said: "Let's find a tavern to stay in first, and then find a blood cultist to find out about Junior Sister Han."
The two walked across the street and saw a pub nearby.
At this time, a gong sounded in the distance in the street.
Tian Lin found that after hearing the sound of the gong, the vendors and footmen on the street hurriedly retreated to the nearby eaves to make way for the congested street.
Tian Lin hurriedly grabbed Senior Brother Zhao's arm and followed the traffickers to the side of the road.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"Mortals can also attain enlightenment, why do their parents have to be immortals? Break the theory of spiritual roots and prove my true blood -"
Along with the sound of gongs, a dozen people in red robes appeared in the distance.
In addition to the leader banging the gong to clear the way, these people all held sheets of paper in their hands behind them.
They were both men and women, old and young. They handed the slips of paper in their hands to the vendors and footmen next to them, and reminded them:
"Tonight, Deputy Hall Master Zhao of the Holy Blood Sect will set up an altar to give a sermon. If you want to hear the holy voice, you need to get to Huangjiaji before Xu Shi."
While these people were talking, those who received the slips immediately held the slips and bowed devoutly.
Tian Lin mingled in the crowd and got a piece of paper with Senior Brother Zhao.
The two of them looked at each other, and then entered the tavern after the men in red robes had gone away.
The waiter in the tavern was very polite. He came up and bowed to Tian Lin and said, "Sir, would you like to give me a tip?"
Tian Lin glanced at the people eating in the lobby, and then said: "Give us two rooms next to each other, and give us some food."
The waiter took the two of them upstairs. After the waiter left, Senior Brother Zhao said, "I'm afraid I can't eat the meat from Quzhou. I think the meat sold in the lobby is extremely cheap. Who knows what kind of meat is in the dishes." ”
Tian Lin comforted him: "I only order food because I don't want to arouse suspicion, and I don't really want to eat it. Junior Brother Zhao, please go back to your room to rest first, and we will go to Huangjiaji at 2 o'clock on the hour."
Not long after, the waiter came up, and while setting dishes in Tian Lin's guest room, he asked Tian Lin with a smile: "The accent sounds different from ours."
"The pronunciation is different from ten miles away, and the customs are different from each other. Besides, I have been traveling around for too long, and my accent has long become nondescript."
While Tian Lin was talking, he took out a dime of silver and asked the waiter: "I know there are Lingbang beads and Juhuochong in Quzhou, but I don't know where I can buy them?"
The waiter looked at the silver in Tian Lin's hand and immediately said: "Lingbangzhu and Juhuochong, of course, have the most weapons."
Tian Lin shook his head: "It's better for people like us to have less contact with the Qi Sect. Even if I may give you money, they may not be willing to sell it to me."
"You need to use spirit stones or blood pills to buy the Ling Clam Pearl. Ju Huo Chong, I can help you find a way - it's just this money."
Tian Lin patted the money into the store clerk's pocket: "I'm not short of money - if you can find Ling Clam Beads, I can also spend Ling Stone or Blood Pill to buy them."
The waiter bowed and left. Tian Lin raised his hand and poured the food on the table into the food box in the storage bag.
As night fell, no matter how long it took, there were already people on the street calling friends to go out of the city.
Brother Zhao knocked on Tian Lin's door at this time, and Tian Lin, who was eating bird eggs under the lamp, said: "Brother, shall we set off now?"
Tian Lin said: "I don't know what's going on for a while, but it's not right for you and me to be commensurate with each other - since your name is Zhao Bei, I will call you Brother Bei, and you can just call me Brother Lin."
At this time, both sides of the street were brightly lit, but many people on the street were holding fire sticks.
These people are old and young, male and female.
Tian Lin and Zhao Bei went downstairs and followed these people out of the city.
The outside of the city is no better than the inside. The road is so dark at this time that you have to light a fire to see the road clearly.
A group of hundreds of people laughed and laughed, crossed the official road and climbed the mountain road, and finally arrived at the so-called Huangjiaji after walking for half an hour.
The Huangjia gathering place was already crowded with people from all villages, blocking the entire entrance to the village.
Another high platform was set up in front of these villagers sitting cross-legged on the ground.
On both sides of the high platform was a large cauldron, and under the cauldron were kneeling hundreds of men, women, and children bound by ropes.
Tian Lin and Zhao Bei imitated others in the crowd and found an open space to sit down together.
On both sides of the crowd were the men in red robes who handed out slips during the day.
These red-robed men stood in two rows, holding torches and standing from the entrance of the village to the high platform.
I don’t know how long it took, an old man walked up to the high platform, raised his hands and shouted: "Mortals can also attain enlightenment and prove my true blood words - everyone, follow me to welcome Deputy Hall Master Zhao!"
The old man in red robe knelt down on one knee first on the high platform, and the other men in red robe who were holding torches also knelt down neatly on one knee.
Below, the villagers from all directions were also noisy and imitating the same example.
Tian Lin took Zhao Bei and squatted on the ground, pretending to kowtow.
"Everyone, get up!"
A voice sounded, and Tian Lin and Zhao Bei both looked up suddenly.
I saw a man in a red cloak sitting on a chair on the high platform, looking at the people below with a smile.
"Master Immortal, please teach me the way to achieve enlightenment."
Under the high platform, several villagers knelt on the ground and kowtowed respectfully to the man on the high platform.
The man on the high platform stood up, bowed his hands and saluted several villagers, then stood up straight and said:
"I am not an immortal master, just an ordinary monk at the twelfth level of Qi Refining. Everyone who joins my blood sect will one day be able to reach my level of cultivation, and it is not impossible to even build a foundation."
< br>
After saying this, he walked down the high platform and helped up the people kneeling on the ground:
"Immortals and mortals are one. You don't have to kneel to me, just like I don't have to kneel to those immortals."
He helped these people up, but the villagers behind him all knelt down: "Please ask the immortal master to teach you!"
When the man saw this, he shouted: "Stand up, don't kneel. From now on, when you practice your own blood qi, you don't have to kneel and kowtow to those in the clan family, nor do you have to kowtow to those in the immortal sect. The high-ranking outer and inner disciples kowtow.”
He said: "I, Zhao Kang, don't need you to kneel down and kowtow to me."
The people below finally stood up, and Tian Lin and Zhao Bei also took advantage of the situation and raised their heads.
Zhao Bei held Tian Lin's wrist tightly at this time, and his tone was low and unspeakably sad: "After the Zhao family was destroyed, I never expected to see my eldest brother here again."
