Chapter 121 The Secret of the Wooden Sign
"I met Mr. Wen and I a few years ago. If it weren't for Mr. Wen's help, how would I be where I am today?"
Tian Lin pulled the tiger skin to pull up the banner, and saw Hall Master Li on the opposite side look grim. He stretched out his hand to touch the knife and said, "In this case, I can't keep you."
There was a 'swish' sound, and when Hall Master Li drew his sword, he was hit by the sword again between his eyebrows.
Tian Lin glanced regretfully at the unfinished arowana, and soon his vision became blurry, leaving the illusion of the twentieth stone step again.
"The twentieth-level illusion can only be restricted to the tavern and cannot be freely explored. If you want to buy spiritual rice, you must leave the tavern."
Tian Lin doesn't have much need for thunder spirit energy because he practices the Five Elements True Qi.
The first thing he has to do now is to wait for the life and death competition at the end of the month.
Given the opportunity to be an inner disciple, how could Tian Lin be content with just being an outer disciple?
As an inner disciple, he was provided with two meals of spiritual rice every day, and his monthly salary was as many as twenty-five spiritual stones.
For the sake of spiritual rice and spiritual stone, Tian Lin also had to fight for the spot of this inner disciple.
In addition, Tian Lin, who has reached the eleventh level of Qi refining, needs to prepare for foundation building.
What he cultivates is the Five Elements True Qi, which requires five kinds of foundation pools: water, fire, metal, wood, and earth.
Don’t worry about the Water Spirit Foundation Establishment Pool. Tian Lin remembers that in the fantasy world of the first stone steps, the prompt word for Shenxian Pond was the Water Spirit Foundation Establishment Pool.
"To find fire, metal, wood, and earth to build a foundation pool, you need to first find a 'strange water' similar to the Shenxian Pond. Maybe I will never be able to collect five kinds of foundation pools - if that is the case, then I will build a water base instead. Qi, try to use water to build the foundation.”
In fact, it is possible to build the foundation with blood energy, but Tian Lin never thought of cultivating blood energy instead.
For the next two days, Tian Lin kept going in and out of the illusion repeatedly, and finally reached the twenty-third stone step.
At this time, he was in a study room with a basin of charcoal at his feet.
In the bright room of the study, a man in black robes stood waiting.
Tian Lin knew clearly from Zhong Wuji's travel notes that the person he wanted to kill today was the man in black robe in front of him.
But he didn't know the identity of the man in black robe, and the hatred between him and himself.
Just based on the state of the black-robed man in his vagina at this time, Tian Lin felt that the other man was very respectful to him.
"You came to me this time. Apart from what happened before, do you have anything else to do?"
After a brief silence, Tian Lin took the initiative to break the deadlock and asked.
The man in black robe was stunned for a moment and said, "How to deal with the marriage between Tong and You, the hall master, you haven't told your subordinates yet."
How does Tian Lin know who from the Tong and You families is getting married?
He knew that this was an illusion and that he was not the real Ancestor Yao Yue.
So he said casually: "You can discuss this matter with other people. You don't have to ask me for advice on everything."
The man in black robe frowned, but after looking at Tian Lin, he found that Tian Lin's attitude was very determined. He quickly lowered his head and said:
"My subordinates will return to the county immediately and ask the people below to keep an eye on Tong and You's family."
After he finished speaking, he still kept his bowed posture and retreated. Only when he reached the door did he have the courage to ask Tian Lin:
"Sir, don't you like drinking tea? If you don't drink this Kirigakure tea in time, it will gradually lose its effect as the tea cools down."
Tian Lin lowered his head and glanced at the tea on the table next to the stack of books.
He slightly lifted the lid of the tea, and what was rising in the tea cup was not the heat of the tea, but white mist.
The mist was floating in the tea cup, and there seemed to be sounds of birds chirping and beasts roaring, which was extremely mysterious.
[Arhat tea, an auxiliary medicine for Arhat magic, edible]
Tian Lin frowned. He didn't know whether the tea was mixed with poison to become [Arhat Tea], or there was no poison in the tea, but the entry simply changed Kirigakure Tea into [Arhat Tea].
"Is this Kirigakure tea expensive?"
Tian Lin asked nonsense.
But Tian Lin was the leader of the hall at this time, and the man in black robe opposite was Tian Lin's subordinate.
Although the man in black robe felt that Tian Lin's performance today was strange, he immediately replied:
"It is indeed not easy to get this Kirigakure tea. I only got a few taels by accident, so I immediately brought it to honor the hall master."
Tian Lin saw that the man in black robe seemed to be looking forward to drinking tea, so he suspected that the tea was poisonous.
"I can drink tea. If you have nothing to do, please go down first."
After Tian Lin finished speaking, the man in black robe bowed deeper.
Tian Lin guessed that he was hiding his emotions, but he ignored it.
After the man in black robe left, Tian Lin immediately shouted: "Here comes someone!"
Not long after, the door was pushed open, and a young woman dressed in simple clothes walked in and asked softly: "Master, what are your orders?"
Tian Lin looked at the young woman in surprise and said, "Where is your son?"
The young woman blushed and lowered her head further: "Fan'er is staying at his Grandpa Yun's place. I didn't bring him into the house."
Tian Lin didn't know where his mansion was built, but he guessed that it was his own.
He didn't know how this young woman became his maid. He thought it had something to do with Hall Master Li calling her upstairs in the tavern.
"Is there any spiritual rice in the house?"
Tian Lin asked, and the young woman immediately said: "The water rice in the house has been collected. The master wants to eat the rice. I will ask someone to make it now."
"Hurry!"
After Tian Lin finished speaking, he raised his hand to ask the young woman to leave.
As soon as the young woman left, he turned around and looked at the books in the study.
Now that he is the leader of the Blood Religion, the books in his study are naturally not ordinary books.
Tian Lin arrived at the bookshelf first, took out a few thread-bound books, and started reading.
He found that the study room was full of Qi refining and some low-grade spells.
As for the middle-grade magic spells, there are two or three, among which Die Feng Palm is among them.
"There are no secret spells of the Blood Cult here. Instead, they are all ordinary techniques. Think about it, the spells here are all used to deceive others."
"Yu Yin's Travels? Tongzhou Sea Viewing Map?"
Tian Lin flipped through the book, but he became confused.
At first, when he looked at Patriarch Yao Yue's collection of books, he thought that the books in the study were just decorations. In order to create the identity of a normal Qi practitioner, he deliberately placed Qi refining books and spells common to ordinary righteous people.
But after Tian Lin flipped through a few books, he discovered that these books were not just decorations.
Because the pages of these books not only have signs of being turned, but also many of them have very serious 'annotations'.
Tian Lin judged from the handwriting that Patriarch Yao Yue was not only reading these books carefully, but also studying them carefully.
Among them, the most studied ones are the Five Elements Foundation Building Method and several books such as travel notes.
"Among all the foundation-building methods, the five-element foundation-building method is the orthodox longevity method; the five-element foundation-building method can transform all things, and it is the root of all methods-"
Looking at the inscription of Patriarch Yao Yue on the title page of the Five Elements Foundation Building Method, Tian Lin laughed: "Could it be that Patriarch Yao Yue wants the Blood True Qi to cultivate the Five Elements True Qi?"
This idea is a bit ridiculous, because it is extremely difficult to build the Five Elements Foundation, and Patriarch Yao Yue is already in his seventies and eighties at this time, which is not a good time to practice the Five Elements Foundation Building method.
But when Tian Lin thought about it carefully, Patriarch Yao Yue founded Yao Yue Sect with the golden elixir realm, and no one in the Jade Dragon Continent knew about his experience in cultivating blood energy.
Perhaps, the other party really changed the Five Elements Qi midway.
Especially looking at the words on the title page of the Five Elements Foundation-Building Method, we can see how highly Patriarch Yao Yue respected the Five Elements Foundation-Building Method.
"The old man has been seeking immortality since he was a child, and he dared to cross the ocean when he was an old man. It can be seen that his heart for the Tao is unparalleled by others. Since he knows that the Five Elements Foundation Building Method is better than the Blood Qi, it is impossible to say that he will really change the Five Elements Qi. gas.
Moreover, both Yu Yin's travel notes and Tongzhou sea view map prove that he is looking for the Five Elements Foundation Building Pool. "
Tian Lin put down the Five Elements Foundation Building Technique and looked up at the door.
I saw a young woman carrying a passing plate with spiritual rice and meat on it.
Tian Lin asked the young woman: "How many spiritual stones do we have in our house, and how much water spiritual rice can we buy?"
The young woman immediately said: "Only you, the master, know how many spiritual stones we have in our house. The servants dare not ask about it. But Shui Ling Rice - Shui Ling Rice is grown in our house. It is only for the master. It is completely It’s enough.”
Tian Lin was stunned for a moment. He picked up the bowl of Shuiling rice on the tray and asked the young woman, "Where did Shuiling rice come from in our house?"
Tian Lin was not afraid of revealing his identity, and the young woman could not guess that Tian Lin had already changed.
Her face turned red, anger flashed in her eyes, she lowered her head and muttered:
"My husband has passed away. Since you have taken possession of my body, why do you still use words to tease others?"
Tian Lin was stunned by his words and suddenly realized.
My own Shuiling Field is presumably Zhou Qing’s ancestral property.
Zhou Qing died, and the ancestral fields fell into the hands of outsiders.
Now I don't know how many years have passed, and now I want him to come over.
Tian Lin didn't really want to tease Zhou Qinshi. Seeing that Zhou Qinshi was embarrassed and annoyed, he also lost interest in talking to Zhou Qinshi and ate the Shuiling rice seriously.
He still doesn't know how effective the sword intention enhanced by the [Asking Sword Fruit] is. Even after he ate the Shui Ling Rice from the Questioning Peak, he didn't feel the existence of the so-called sword intention at all.
The reason why Tian Lin insisted on eating Shuiling Rice was simply because he knew that the entry would not lie to him.
Besides, Zhou Qing and Taoist Master Yun made sword cultivation so mysterious, how could Tian Lin not be interested in sword intention?
He ate nearly ten bowls of watery rice in a row until his stomach couldn't hold it any longer, so he put down his chopsticks.
Zhou Qin looked at Tian Lin like a monster, obviously not expecting Tian Lin to be so edible.
At this time, a maid's voice outside the door said: "Master, the man named Tang is here again."
Tian Lin frowned and said to the maid outside: "Tell him, just say that the master is very uncomfortable now and I won't see him today."
The maid took the order and left. Tian Lin looked at Zhou Qin who was carrying the tray and left the room and said, "Put the food here first. You go and lie down on the bed."
Zhou Qin's expression changed as she was holding the tray. She wiped her tears and went to the couch next to the study to take off her clothes.
Tian Lin frowned and said, "Just lie down and take off your clothes?"
Zhou Qin didn't know what Tian Lin was going to do, so she lay down on the bed.
When she saw 'Tian Lin' striding towards her, she couldn't help but close her eyes immediately.
Tian Lin was stunned, and reached out to touch the wooden sign at her waist.
On the wooden sign, the two characters "asking the heart" are engraved on the front, and the ten characters "drawing the world with a pen and observing the world in the palm" are engraved on the back.
This token is not easy to acquire, and its material looks like wood but not wood.
"What are you doing? This is a family heirloom of the Zhou family. I left it to Fan'er. Give it to me quickly!"
Zhou Qin couldn't wait for Tian Lin's caress for a long time. Only when she opened her eyes did she realize that the wooden sign hidden in her clothes had fallen out and been touched by Tian Lin.
Just when she was about to snatch it, Tian Lin knocked her unconscious with a palm, and then covered Zhou Qin's head and everyone with a quilt.
Outside the house, footsteps sounded, and the voice of the man in black robe when Tian Lin first entered the dreamland was heard saying: "I heard that your Excellency seems to be in poor health, so I came here to check."
In the room, Tian Lin held his breath and quietly left the bed, then hid at the door.
Outside the closed wooden door, the voice of the man in black robes sounded again: "Sir? Mr. Huang, are you okay?"
Tian Lin in the room still didn't speak, but the summoned flying sword was suspended behind the door, waiting for the man in black robe to enter the room.
"Sir, if you don't say anything, the villain will come in."
After the man in black robe finished speaking, he did not break in through the door, but broke the window and jumped into the study.
When he saw the raised quilt on the bed, a smile appeared on his face.
But when his peripheral vision glanced at Tian Lin hidden behind the door, his smile immediately disappeared.
The two sword lights lit up almost at the same time, but Tian Lin's flying sword was obviously faster.
With a 'dong' sound, the flying sword of the man in black robe rubbed Tian Lin's ear and broke the wall behind Tian Lin.
Tian Lin's flying sword directly pierced the black-robed man's eyebrows.
The black-robed man's expression instantly dimmed, and he knelt on the ground, staring at Tian Lin.
In order to prevent this guy from dying, Tian Lin controlled the flying sword to directly kill him.
It wasn't until the fantasy scene began to blur that Tian Lin was convinced that the other party was dead.
He put the flying sword back into his storage bag and finally escaped from the illusion and appeared in the real world.
As soon as he came out of the illusion, Tian Lin opened the storage bag and took out the wooden plaque given to him by Wenxinzong.
Tian Lin touched the lines on the wooden sign and frowned more and more.
"The wooden sign in the illusion is not only exactly the same as this wooden sign, but even the patterns on the wooden sign are the same. But Zhou Qin said that this wooden sign is an heirloom of the Zhou family. If the wooden sign in the fantasy and this wooden sign are the same, Same thing, why did Master Zhou of Wenxin Sect give me this heirloom of the Zhou family?"
Tian Lin was puzzled.
When he was in Wenxin Sect, he was sure that Headmaster Zhou had no intention of passing Wenxin Sect on to him, but the facts proved that Headmaster Zhou really did not want to keep him in Wenxin Sect.
But the wooden sign in his hand now told Tian Lin that Headmaster Zhou had never given up on him.
In fact, if you look carefully at the two lines of characters, "Zhi" in "Jianghu" and "Zhang" in "Viewing the Universe in the Palm" are drawn.
When these two words are combined, don’t they mean the word ‘to take charge’?
"Since it is a family heirloom of the Zhou family, I think only the patriarch of the Zhou family can hold it. The Wenxin Sect gave this wooden tablet to me, not to make me the head of the Zhou family. I am afraid that I will be in charge of the Wenxin Sect in the future - —
I couldn't guess what Headmaster Zhou was thinking, so I simply pretended not to know anything. Find a way to achieve the realm of foundation building first, and then look at the future! "
