Chapter 232 Qianshi Empress
Except for a few people who rested at the building boat, no one stayed at the building boat.
Tian Lin and Zhou Jin chose to go to Huilong Village, and this time they were accompanied by Zhou Mengjiao and a woman named Zhang Rou who was acquainted with Zhou Mengjiao.
Because of Tian Lin and Zhou Jin, the people in Huilong Village are no longer so repulsive and wary of Zhou Mengjiao and Zhang Rou.
Tian Lin and Zhou Jin borrowed the two walking corpses in black coffins from Old Man Ran. At this moment, they had to pay Old Man Ran ten middle-grade spiritual stones.
This made Tian Lin, who was already tight on money, very heartbroken. He also wanted to save spiritual stones and find a way to exchange them for the cold fragrant leaves in Wang Yanyu's hand.
Yesterday, I thought I could get some money by catching the zombie, but I didn't expect that I caught the zombie in vain, and I even lost a sum of "coffin book".
Therefore, when Old Man Ran proposed to go to the Mass Burial Forest again, Tian Lin was quite moved.
But when he asked Zhou Jin for his opinion, he was stopped by Zhou Mengjiao.
Zhou Mengjiao told Zhou Jin: "Brother finally entered Class C again. We shouldn't waste time on such risky things. Besides, how many spiritual stones can a walking corpse earn? Is it more important than your cultivation?" ”
Zhang Rou also advised Zhou Jin: "Senior Brother Zhou, don't forget that the exam at the end of the month is not only about funerary studies, but also about sword studies, alchemy, and formation studies."
Zhou Jindao: "But the assessment is all based on Elder Gao's preference. She may not focus on swordsmanship, alchemy, etc."
"Even if you rely on Elder Gao's preferences, you will be promoted in every department. But after entering Class B, will you be able to secure a seat in Class B just by relying on funeral studies? You will not fall down by then."

Zhou Jin was given a slap in the face by his sister, and he suddenly realized that he had given up his hand: "If my sister hadn't persuaded me, I would have almost gone astray."
After speaking, he advised Tian Lin: "Junior Brother Tian, Elder Gao asked us to rest for two days. During these two days, we can just review swordsmanship and alchemy."
Because Zhou Jin couldn't go to the Mass Burial Forest, Tian Lin had no choice but to not go.
Zhou Mengjiao and Zhang Rou obviously had their own cultivation plan. They borrowed a room from Old Man Ran and practiced in the house all day long.
Tian Lin and Zhou Jin also lived in the same room, but Tian Lin did not study swordsmanship, formations, etc. like Zhou Jin.
Instead, he focused more on practicing the Earth-Sealing Technique, and it only took him one day to practice the Earth-Sealing Technique to a small level with the help of a dozen cold fragrant leaves.
Originally, Honda Lin was not in a hurry to get the cold fragrant leaves, but now there were only eight cold fragrant leaves left in the storage bag. He had already made plans to go to Wang Yanyu to buy the cold fragrant leaves after returning to Taoism.
Elder Gao left two days for people to rest. Tian Lin had spent the whole night, but there was still one day and night plus one day left.
He was not in a hurry to continue practicing. Instead, he followed Elder Ran to Yujia Village dozens of miles away. He helped Elder Ran carry the black coffin to Yujia Village for sale, and also took a look at the god-sacrifice activities in Yujia Village.
According to Elder Ran, every village within the jurisdiction of Xiangxi Sect has its own land god.
The land god of Huilong Village is placed under the locust tree at the entrance of the village for the villagers to worship.
The Qianshi Empress worshiped in Yujia Village is enshrined in a small temple, which is different from the Earth God in Huilong Village.
The land god of Huilong Village will not move with the villagers of Huilong Village, but Qianshi Empress can move with the villagers of Yujia Village by moving the temple.
"In this place of mass burials, there are very few evil spirits and corpses coming to the door at night. Making offerings to the gods has more of a psychological effect."
Elder Ran said: "But if you get closer to a place like Yujia Village, it will become dangerous at night. There must be a statue of a god to protect the people of the village from evil spirits."
A few dozen miles is not that far for the two of them.
When they arrived at Yujia Village, the sun was rising, which was the safest time to walk in the forest.
Yujia Village is larger than Huilong Village, with more than a hundred households in total.
There are obviously more ancient wells in Yujia Village than in Huilong Village. Almost every household has a small ancient well.
Although Old Man Ran is the village chief of Huilong Village, it is obvious that his village chief cannot be compared with the village chief of Yujia Village.
The people in Yujia Village are strong in the golden elixir, but Elder Ran is only in the middle stage of foundation building.
This kind of cultivation is really not unusual in Yujia Village.
When the two men carried the black coffin to Yujia Village, a child who looked about thirteen or fourteen years old was sitting on a millstone in the village smoking a cigarette.
The child obviously recognized Old Ran. His voice was crisp and clear as he said, "The boy from the Ran family is here. Do you want to see your uncle?"
Old man Ran smiled with the child and asked him: "Second uncle, is my uncle at home?"
The child nodded to the west end of the village with his cigarette pole: "Your aunt may be at home, go and have a look."
Old man Ran and Tian Lin continued to carry the coffin on the road. He explained to Tian Lin: "The guy I passed just now, even though he is young, he is very senior. He is the same generation as my mother."
Tian Lin smiled and did not delve into this.
In fact, Old Ran's cultivation level is still not high. If he were in the golden elixir realm, would the young man in the Qi refining stage just now dare to be "boy" longer or "boy" shorter?
In the world of cultivation, people are not judged based on their seniority or age. It is all based on their strength or status.
"Why is Qianshi Empress called Qianshi Empress?"
Tian Lin had already seen the bustle of Yujia Village. For this god-sacrifice event, all the villagers in the village did not leave the village, and they all wore red and colorful clothes.
In the place of mass burials, this kind of place where corpse chasers gather. There are only a few who wear red and colorful clothes, and they rarely play festive music.
"I'm not sure about the origin of the name Qianshi Niangniang. Although my mother is from Yujia Village, her cultivation level is too low. Besides, she married into Huilong Village when she was a teenager.
She had not participated in the Qianshi Empress's worship activities, so she knew very little about it. ”
Tian Lin smiled, thinking that Old Ran's words clearly meant that his connection with Yujiacun was entirely dependent on his mother.
His mother died, and no one in Yujia Village wanted to associate with him. Although his uncle was related to him, he obviously rarely mentioned anything about Yujia Village to him.
The two arrived at the residence of old man Ran's uncle in the west of the village. There was only an old woman, two or three middle-aged women and a few children in the small courtyard.
When Old Man Ran knocked on his uncle's door, the woman who opened the door frowned and said, "Isn't it the day today? What are you doing here at this time?"
Old man Ran hurriedly explained: "Cousin, don't get me wrong, I'm not sending mummies this time, but walking corpses."
In the yard, the old woman came over: "Walking corpse? Where did you get the walking corpse?"
The old woman had the cultivation level of Foundation Establishment, so Tian Lin performed the ceremony for the old woman.
But the old woman ignored Tian Lin and asked old man Ran: "I heard that the Wu family in Wuliang Mountain lost some walking corpses. Didn't you steal the walking corpses from the Wu family?"
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Old man Ran said awkwardly: "How is it possible? My nephew has eaten the courage of a bear's heart and a leopard's courage, and he doesn't dare to take the idea of the Wu family's walking corpse.
Some Wu family walking corpses were lost because an elder from the Taoist sect blocked the way to grab the coffin, which led to an accident. But the walking corpse in my hand has nothing to do with the walking corpse in Wuliang Mountain. ”
"Okay, you take the coffin into the house first and wait until your uncle comes back tomorrow."
She opened the door, and Tian Lin helped Old Ran carry the coffin into the small courtyard.
There were bamboo poles hanging everywhere in the small courtyard, but what was hanging on them was not clothes, but human skins.
Several children ran out of the main room chasing and fighting. As soon as they saw Old Ran, they grabbed the corner of Old Ran's clothes and asked him for a gift.
With a smile on his face, Old Ran took out the pastries and candies he had prepared and dealt with the children one by one.
Old Ran's sisters-in-law began to cook and light the fire. Only then did Old Ran introduce Tian Lin's identity to the old woman:
"This fellow Daoist Tian is a disciple of the Immortal Sect of the Taoist Sect. He came here to see the god worship activities in Yujia Village. I wonder if my aunt can be accommodating."
The old woman then began to look at Tian Lin, and she quickly bowed to Tian Lin.
Why was Huilong Village wary of Tian Lin and Zhou Jin in the first place?
It's just that the two of them are disciples of the Immortal Sect. If not, how could Huilong Village let them live in Huilong Village when they were on guard?
They have already been refined into zombies and made a fortune.
"The old woman has blind eyes and cannot see Mount Tai, which makes fellow Taoists feel strange."
After saying this, the old woman rolled her eyes at Old Ran again, blaming Old Ran for not introducing Tian Lin's identity early and causing her to make a fool of herself.
But now is not the time to talk about this, she looked a little embarrassed:
"Only the Yu family can participate in worshiping the Qianshi Empress. So if Fellow Taoist Tian wants to participate in worshiping the gods, I can't make the decision."
After she finished speaking, she said to the woman in charge of the kitchen: "His cousin, please stop being busy. Go to the west end of the village and ask someone to call your father back."
The woman had obviously heard the conversation in the courtyard, and her attitude towards Tian Lin was completely different.
After bowing to Tian Lin, she nodded to Old Man Ran and then went out.
Tian Lin followed the old woman and Old Ran into the main room, where Old Ran's second cousin sister-in-law made tea and came in.
When old man Ran was helping Tian Lin make tea, the old woman asked Tian Lin: "I see that there is no one around to serve you, Taoist friend. I think there is a lack of a sword slave or something."
Tian Lin knew the elegant meaning of the stringed music. The old woman was so polite not only because she was a 'young genius', but also because of her status as a disciple of the Immortal Sect.
He thought about it and didn't feel that participating in the Yujia Village's god worship was worth helping the Yu family bring people into the Taoist sect.
"Fellow Taoist is joking, how can Tian, who is so good, need someone to take care of him? There are two holding swords in the Qi Refining realm next to him, and now he is worried about her two foundations."
What Tian Lin said was not a lie, because the outer disciples of Taoist Sect and the swords around them were all in the early stage of foundation building.
Unfortunately, he himself was only in the early stages of foundation building, while Yu'er and Cui'er were both still Qi Refiners.
At this time, the door opened and an old man walked in.
Tian Lin and Old Ran stood up. Old Ran saluted the old man in mourning clothes and said, "My nephew has met my uncle."
Of course, Tian Lin would not salute the old man in mourning clothes. Instead, he cupped his hands and said, "Tian has taken the liberty of visiting me. Fellow Daoist Yu, please do not take offense."
The old man in mourning clothes raised his hand to ask Tian Lin to take a seat again, and then waved to the woman outside: "His eldest cousin, bring up the ginseng soup I brought back from the banquet, and help my nephew and Daoist Fellow Tian to wash away the dust."
