Chapter 173: Corpse Retrieval
Seeing that Tian Lin had no intention of competing for the position of Shuiyun Sect's outer disciple, Cui'er and Yu'er's hearts dropped.
It is often said in the secular world that "a person can attain enlightenment, a chicken or a dog can ascend to heaven." This is also true in the world of cultivation.
Aren't the fates of these sword-holding maids tied to their masters?
At night, Tian Lin continued to practice the Buddha and Demon Freedom Kung Fu, and the two sisters naturally went back to their rooms to rest.
Cui'er picked up the pen, scribbled a line of words on the table, and handed it to Yu'er.
Seeing Cui'er's indignant look, Yu'er was also a little helpless.
She wrote and replied:
"The family gave us to the master and didn't want us to go back. Besides, we fought for the master's place ourselves. How can there be room in the Tong Mansion for the two of us to 'sit'?"
The two of them have now learned to communicate through words, thus avoiding being overheard by outsiders or even Tian Lin.
"Then we will follow this master to fish for the rest of our lives? He doesn't even have money to buy the Water God Pill himself, so how can he help us build a foundation?"
After Cui'er finished replying on the paper, Yu'er did not take over the writing, but said: "Maybe this is our fate."
After saying this, she felt a surge of energy in her palm, and the paper in her hand instantly turned into fly ash.
And Cui'er's expression was just like the ashes burned by the flames, infinitely despairing.
life?
Should you accept your bad fate?
——
Early the next morning, when Tian Lin went out, he saw Gao He and Cai Shu changing into different outfits.
Although the clothes of the two of them were still their usual clothes, they had two extra trousers.
When Tian Lin went out, Gao He was still playing with something like Sinan in his hand.
When Tian Lin appeared, he smiled and said: "Fellow Taoist Tian, from now on we will also become the 'fishermen' of Shenxiantang."
Tian Lin paid more attention to the 'Si Nan' in his hand and asked him: "What magic weapon is this in your hand?"
"This is a soul pointing needle. I borrowed it from a soul cultivator friend. It can sense resentful souls within one mile without using spiritual consciousness."
Tian Lin was shocked and couldn't help but take another look at the soul-pointing needle.
He ate the True Eye Fruit and could see the resentful souls without spiritual consciousness.
But there is no one who eats the true eye fruit, unless it is a golden elixir monk. Otherwise, we can only rely on spiritual consciousness to detect resentful souls——
However, spiritual consciousness will be hindered in the fog, and it is easy to be attacked when looking outside, so most foundation-building monks will not easily look outside.
"Fellow Taoist Gao really has friends all over the world, which makes Tian admire him."
Tian Lin put on a high hat, and Gao He accepted it calmly and said: "A wealthy couple is indispensable, Taoist priest Tian, you have to make more friends."
At this time, Cai Shu urged Gao He: "Let's go quickly. It's too late and all the resentful souls have been taken away."
The two of them walked in a hurry, leaving behind Tian Lin who followed leisurely behind.
When Tian Lin arrived at Shenxian Pond, he had already seen more than a dozen foundation-building monks.
These foundation-building monks may not all be worshiped by the Tong family, but they all have soul-gathering beads in their hands.
In addition to these foundation-building monks, there are many people with Qi-refining skills who have also taken soul-gathering beads and are discussing about going to sea together.
Looking at the dense group of monks, Tian Lin knew that this was Shuiyun Sect's strength.
Only if Shuiyun Sect spoke out could so many monks come to Shenxiantang to take risks for the sake of profit.
Tian Lin guessed that many people would die in Shenxiantang.
But he also firmly believed that for a long time to come, more and more monks would gather in Shenxiantang.
Seeing the grand occasion of "thousands of people going to sea", Tian Lin was not in a hurry to join in.
When he arrived at the tea shop, he looked at Zhang Xiaoke who was holding the ceremony with him and said, "You won't be fishing anymore?"
Zhang Xiaoke smiled bitterly and said: "Why are we fishing? We people can't even afford talisman paper, so how can we dare to go to sea."
Tian Lin smiled and said: "Selling things here may not necessarily make less than fishing. In my opinion, more and more people will gather here in the future, and there will be no shortage of opportunities to earn spiritual stones on this shore."< br>
While he was talking, he squatted in front of Zhang Xiaoke's pavilion. The pavilion was placed on the ground with only a felt, and on the felt were placed various medicine bottles and some talismans found from nowhere.
"Senior, is there anything you want? You can take it as you like."
After Zhang Xiaoke said his polite words, Tian Linzhen picked up a small jade bottle.
He wiped the dust on the bottle cork with his fingers, then opened the small jade bottle and put it to the tip of his nose to smell it.
The young man next to Zhang Xiaoke looked a little ugly, because the medicine in the bottle Tian Lin got was not cheap.
Zhang Xiaoke had just spoken out loudly. If Tian Lin was so shameless and refused to pay, what could they say, and what could they dare to say?
"What is this? Why haven't I seen it in the alchemy shop in Pingyang City?"
Tian Lin asked, Zhang Xiaoke explained:
"These are all brought by the monks who came to Pingyang City recently to call back the divine elixir. You can use this elixir to restore your soul after being attacked by evil spirits.
Even though the senior is a foundation-building monk, he can actually carry a few with him. After all, there might be wandering gods in this heavy fog. ”
According to the classification of resentful souls by soul cultivators, the ordinary ones are the wandering souls, followed by the night wandering gods, and then the day wandering gods.
Generally, monks will associate wandering spirits with spiritual masters, but in fact, spiritual masters who have never practiced the method of exorcising evil spirits are easily injured when encountering wandering spirits.
The Night Wandering God is a more powerful being than the Wandering Soul, and corresponds to the Foundation Establishment Monk.
"What you said makes sense. In this heavy fog, there is no guarantee that you will meet the Night God and the Day God."
Tian Lin thought of the painted boat he saw that day and the leader Xun on the painted boat. According to Tian Lin's guess, Sect Leader Xun has now become the Night God.
"Is this the only two pills you can get for this pill?"
Tian Lin put the stopper back in and asked Zhang Xiaoke: "I don't know how much this elixir costs?"
Zhang Xiaoke waved his hand and said: "Since Xiaoke said it was given to senior, how can he accept the spiritual stone from senior?"
Tian Lin said: "Since you call me senior, how can I take advantage of you? Besides, you are short of spiritual stones now."
What Tian Lin said was referring to Zhang Xiaoke's desire to earn spiritual stones to redeem his shell.
"I received this elixir from the soul cultivator. Senior, just give me three spiritual stones."
After Zhang Xiaoke finished speaking, Tian Lin did not hesitate and took out three spiritual stones from the storage bag and gave them to Zhang Xiaoke.
Of course he didn't buy this magic pill to restore his soul after being attacked.
But because the entry shows that this is the auxiliary elixir "Tian Yisheng Shui Dan" for practicing the Tiansheng Shui Jue.
What kind of magical power is "Heaven's Life and Water Jue"?
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Tian Lin inquired about the cultivation method of the Five Elements Golden Elixir Jue and knew that in addition to the Water God Jue, the Five Elements Dharma Body can be cultivated, and among them is the "Heaven's Life Water Jue".
Tian Lin couldn't find ingredients that could display the [Water God Pill], so he never practiced the Water God Art.
But now that he has obtained the 'Heaven's Life Water Pill', he wants to practice the Heaven's Life Water Art to achieve the water-moving body.
"It's just that the Water Art of Life on this day is the magical power of Shuiyun Sect. Shuiyun Sect is not short of money, how can it be possible to sell this magical power to outsiders?"
Tian Lin took out the soul gathering beads from his storage bag.
He was not interested in becoming an outer disciple of Shuiyun Sect, but he was very interested in Shuiyun Sect's "Heaven's Life and Water Jue".
I just don’t know if the Shuiyun Sect would be willing to trade the opportunity to become an outer disciple in exchange for the "Tian Yisheng Shui Jue"?
"Actually, the Taoist sect also has magical powers similar to the "Heaven's Life Water Jue", but it's a pity that just having magical powers without auxiliary elixirs that I can take is of no use.
Although this Tiansheng Shui Jue is a magical power, it is not the secret method of Shuiyun Sect. I may not be able to plan it. ”
Tian Lin made up his mind and finally released the flying boat and headed west.
He had no intention of fishing today, nor was he here solely to capture the resentful souls.
He just wants to see what the current situation is like in Shenxiantang——
Along the way, not only boats and boats meet each other in the offshore area, but hundreds of boats compete with each other.
Many foundation-building monks were full of confidence and headed straight to the distant sea in the south.
Looking at the Qi Refiner who occasionally passed by, Tian Lin's eyes turned and his mind suddenly moved.
When he was fishing before, he never brought a storage bag because he was afraid that it would be left behind when fighting the fish monster.
This does not mean that you cannot take your storage bag into the sea.
Tian Lin now wants to bring a storage bag, not because he wants to go into the sea to fight the fish monster, but because he thinks of the unusual profession of 'corpse hunter'.
"These monks, even if they don't have any magic weapons with them, still carry one or two talismans. And these talismans can also be sold for many spiritual stones.
They fell into the water, and others did not dare to salvage them in Shenxiantang. But since I'm not afraid of the water in Shenxian Pond, why don't I pick up corpses in the sea? ”
Now that Tian Lin had an idea in his mind, he took a boat to a distant place.
He simply put his boat back into the storage bag and sank into the sea together with the storage bag.
In the western sea area of Shenxian Pond, there are already more fish monsters than before.
Tian Lin watched the fish monsters warily, fearing that they would attack him.
These fish monsters are like steel knives from their tail fins to their dorsal fins, and can easily cut through people's clothes and skin.
Tian Lin only has one piece of treasure clothing and two storage bags.
But whether it was clothes or storage bags that were scratched by the fish demon, it was a huge loss.
"Next time I have a chance, I can actually put some medicine on my body!"
When Tian Lin went out to sea, he applied medicine to the thousand-year-old tree. This medicine made the fish monsters get disgusted and stay away. Applying the medicine to the thousand-year-old tree can prevent the thousand-year-old tree from being attacked.
No one has ever smeared it on themselves, because this stuff is poisonous after all.
Tian Lin is not afraid of poison, but is worried that the poison will be completely absorbed by his body soon after it stays on his skin.
This time, he quietly headed towards the sea.
Fish monsters such as the two-headed fish never go offshore.
Finally, Tian Lin had not been swimming under the sea for long when he heard a popping sound.
He vaguely saw a figure on a wooden boat not far away falling directly into the lake.
Tian Lin didn't hesitate at all and swam towards the figure.
On the sea surface, a middle-aged man looked ashen and looked like he was possessed by an evil spirit.
His body continued to sink, and an iron sword accompanied him as he fell to the bottom of the sea.
Beside the middle-aged man, there was a 'soul-pointing needle' and a small medicine bottle falling continuously.
Tian Lin could not release his spiritual consciousness in the sea, nor could he rely on his spiritual consciousness to control the storage bag.
Fortunately, the things the man threw were neither too many nor too big. Tian Lin only stretched out his hand to grab them. The iron sword that fell with the man, the soul-pointing needle and the small medicine bottle were all caught in Tian Lin's hand.
With the things in hand, Tian Lin kicked off his feet and climbed directly onto the thousand-year-old wooden boat that the middle-aged man had 'left behind'.
