Chapter 171 An Old Friend Comes
Zhang Xiaoke knew that Tian Lin was going to sea today, so he sincerely reminded Tian Lin: "Senior, when you encounter these soul cultivators after going to sea, it is best not to get entangled with them.
These soul cultivators are very clumsy, so although righteous people hate them, they don't easily provoke them. "
Tian Lin nodded, summoned the small boat in his storage bag and crossed the sea.
Others are in heavy fog, and they don't see any difference from the heavy fog near the sea.
When he approached the boat where the soul cultivators were, the soul cultivators glanced at Tian Lin warily. After discovering the color of Tian Lin's clothes, they knew that Tian Lin was a strong foundation builder, so they respectfully saluted on the boat.
Tian Lin nodded to these soul cultivators and continued sailing away.
The closer the ship is to the open sea, the greater the fog on the sea surface.
Tian Lin didn't know whether what sounded in his ears was the whistling of the sea breeze or the whimpering of resentful souls.
When he walked another mile, he was completely surrounded by heavy fog.
The white mist was just ordinary mist, and Tian Lin had never seen the prompt word appear.
But in the fog, Tian Lin saw two figures shaking.
"Is this a resentful spirit?"
Tian Lin doesn't use spiritual consciousness at all, because he has eaten the True Eye Fruit, and such existences such as resentful souls cannot be hidden from his eyes.
The two figures were wrapped in the fog like a breeze, floating on the sea, and then rushed towards Tian Lin.
Tian Lin slapped the flying sword with his right hand, and the flying sword instantly turned into escaping light and cut the two figures into two pieces.
But the figure's color only dimmed slightly, and although it was no longer human, it rushed towards Tian Lin again.
Tian Lin frowned slightly, and the flying sword smashed the figure into pieces several times until the figure completely disappeared.
"It doesn't look like these resentful souls are very scary. It's just that it's difficult to destroy them with just the energy."
Tian Lin found that the farther away he went, the more and more such resentful souls became.
He was afraid of encountering a more powerful resentful spirit, so he stopped rowing the boat and took out the conch shell to blow the sound.
After half an hour, the Five Elements Jiao finally appeared under the sea.
Tian Lin put down the shell and plunged into the sea.
Although the skin and flesh of the Five Elements Jiao are harder than other sea fish, its temperament is extremely docile.
It wasn't until Tian Lin's harpoon penetrated its body that the Five Elements Jiao began to resist and struggle violently.
This Five Elements Jiao was even bigger than the one Tian Lin caught yesterday. Given Tian Lin's physical condition, he was so shocked by the Five Elements Jiao that he almost felt dizzy and wanted to vomit blood.
One person and one fish descended into the second level of the sea in an instant, and Tian Lin instantly saw the prompt word [Bull Soul Powder].
The second sea area also has this soul-boosting powder?
Tian Lin was confused, still holding on to the harpoon, and followed the Five Elements Jiao into the depths of the sea.
This time, in addition to him and one fish, Tian Lin also saw a resentful soul being pulled down by the sea water.
Tian Lin didn't know how these resentful souls were contaminated with the seawater of Shenxian Pond, but he was somewhat happy to see it -
As long as this Shenxiantang can be effective against these resentful souls, then Shenxiantang can be regarded as a moat in Pingyang County.
At this time, one person and one fish had descended to the fourth layer of the deep sea. The densely packed [Soul-Building Powder] had almost turned the Five Elements Jiao into a sieve.
Tian Lin's face was particularly ugly. He could use his spiritual consciousness to absorb these soul-repairing powders after entering his body.
But if the soul-boosting powder enters the body too quickly, he will not be able to digest it in time.
Fortunately, the Five Elements Jiao had completely died by this time. Tian Lin quickly took out the Five Elements Jiao's beads and internal organs, and the whole person quickly floated upward.
The Five Elements Jiao Beads and the internal organs were also riddled with holes at this time. It was just because the [Bour Soul Powder] was so small that it was invisible to the naked eye, so the internal organs could still take shape, but the Five Elements Jiao Beads began to 'leak'.
In an instant, the five-star spiritual energy almost exploded in the sea, boosting Tian Lin to rise to the sea.
Tian Lin held the empty Five Elements Dragon Pearl in his hand and tried his best to digest the soul-boosting powder in his body. As for the floating action, he did it all subconsciously.
He didn't know how long it took before he finally surfaced.
Looking at the Five Elements Jiao Beads with leaks everywhere, Tian Lin crushed the Five Elements Jiao Beads with an ugly expression on his face.
He put on his clothes, threw the organs of the Five Elements Dragon into the storage bag, and then looked at the heavy fog in the distance with some surprise.
It will be getting dark at this time, and logically no one should be sailing in this far sea.
But Tian Lin saw with his naked eyes a large painting boat floating on the river from far to near.
The boat has two floors, and red lanterns are hung on the bow and stern.
Under the temptation of the red lantern, two figures boarded the boat from time to time.
In the boat, the laughter of men and women sounded from time to time.
"My sister is washing her clothes by the river. The water flows eastward to meet my husband——"
Amidst the laughter, there was first the sound of the piano, and then the singing of a prostitute.
The lyrics are not new, but the singer's singing voice is indescribably sad, making people burst into tears after listening to it.
Tian Lin's heart shuddered, remembering that the little wine girl in the town once sang this song when he just came out of the merchant mine.
The reason why Tian Lin was wary was not because he suspected that the person singing on the boat was the little wine girl.
He just felt that the singing singer was a human and not a ghost, but he had clearly seen a resentful spirit boarding the ship before, which also proved that the ship should be a ghost ship.
‘Wow!’
Thousand-year-old wooden bamboo poles moved, and the boat came towards Tian Lin.
Tian Lin always feels that it is too weird to use a bamboo pole to punt a boat on the sea. You must know that Shenxian Pond is not shallow. How long does it take to reach the bottom of the bamboo pole to punt the boat?
Watching the pleasure boat approaching, Tian Lin urged the boat under his feet to move away, and summoned a flying sword to cut down the pleasure boat.
When his sword fell, the boatman in the straw raincoat and bamboo hat at the bow raised his head.
Looking at the face of the man under the bamboo hat, Tian Lin couldn't help shouting: "Master Xun?"
But Master Xun didn't say anything. Tian Lin's sword cut through his bamboo hat, but didn't break his body.
He just looked at Tian Lin coldly, still holding the bamboo pole and approaching Tian Lin's boat.
Tian Lin didn't know what Master Xun experienced after going out to sea, but he suddenly remembered that Master Xun did look for a way out to the south after going out to sea.
But at this moment, it was obvious that Master Xun was dead. There was only a corpse, rowing for people on this wooden boat.
Even Master Xun, a strong man in the late stage of foundation building, died in the hands of the pleasure boat, let alone himself?
Tian Lin did not dare to delay, and swung the oars in his hand almost in a circle. In an instant, the small wooden boat was "flying" across the sea like an arrow.
The pleasure boat seemed to be moving very slowly, but Tian Lin could see with his naked eyes that the pleasure boat was constantly approaching him.
If this continued, Tian Lin would be caught up by the pleasure boat sooner or later.
And he was still in the open sea at this moment, and it was still an unknown distance from landing.
Tian Lin was determined, threw away the storage bag and plunged into the Shenxiantang.
He remembered that even the resentful soul could not get rid of the "curse" of the Shenxiantang.
Sure enough, after Tian Lin entered the sea, the pleasure boat seemed to have lost contact with Tian Lin and stopped chasing Tian Lin.
On the pleasure boat, the faint singing and the laughter of the guests gradually moved away from Tian Lin in the sea.
Tian Lin, whose whole body sank under the sea, watched the pleasure boat on the sea go away until he could no longer see the pleasure boat and the lanterns on the pleasure boat.
But he still didn't dare to be careless, and swam to the bottom of the boat, kicked his legs and swam towards the sea.
Since ancient times, people have always been on boats, and boats have never been seen on people.
But Tian Lin was forced to do nothing by this pleasure boat, so he could only be so embarrassed.
He didn't know how long he swam, and finally heard the laughter of the soul cultivators in the daytime under the sea.
He poked his head out from under the boat and vaguely saw the existence of the sea, so he turned over and got back on the wooden boat.
When he approached the boat of the soul cultivators in the boat, the soul cultivators saluted Tian Lin.
Tian Lin nodded and said nothing, fearing that the pleasure boat would appear again, he sped up the boat and rowed towards the coast.
"Look at his pale face, maybe he was scared by the resentful spirit."
A soul cultivator said after Tian Lin walked away.
"Not really, he is also a foundation-building cultivator, his strength cannot be so weak."
"That may not be the case - even if he is a foundation-building cultivator, he will inevitably see wild ghosts and wandering gods in the distant sea -"
When they were talking, Tian Lin had already landed and went directly to the water official to hand over the organs of the Five Elements Dragon.
The water official gave three medium-grade spirit stones to Tian Lin, and couldn't help asking Tian Lin: "Where is the five-element dragon bead?"
Tian Lin shook the crushed five-element dragon bead in front of the water official, and said with an unpleasant face: "It's broken."
The water official comforted Tian Lin: "Senior, don't be angry. Even if there is no five-element dragon bead, what you got today is not a small amount.
Besides, even if the five-element dragon bead is broken this time, it will be broken next time. Will it be broken again next time?"
Tian Lin smiled when he heard it: "You are really good at comforting people-by the way, has anything happened on the sea recently?"
The water official thought for a while and said: "There is no sign of the opening of the tomb, but I heard that the elder is summoning the worshippers of Pingyang County to hunt resentful souls in the south of the sea."
Tian Lin frowned when he heard it: "This kind of useless thing, the worshippers are willing to do it?"
"So the elder promised that as long as he is willing to go to the south with him, there will be a reward of thirty medium-grade spirit stones every month."
Thirty medium-grade spirit stones can be said to be a big deal.
But Tian Lin was not tempted.
The pleasure boat he encountered today was in the far sea, which was not the south where the most resentful souls were.
It is conceivable how dangerous the south is.
Tian Lin felt it was inappropriate to risk his life for thirty medium-grade spirit stones.
Besides, his goal was always to go to the Daoist Sect, and Pingyang City was not a place for him to stay for a long time.
"The Kunhu Tomb is about to be opened, and now there are resentful souls from the sea causing trouble - Pingyang City will probably be busy next time."
Tian Lin said this and stopped chatting with the water official.
He returned to the house, and Yu'er told him that tomorrow was the day when the elder would summon the worshippers to discuss things, and asked Tian Lin to make some preparations.
Tian Lin estimated that the elder might want to talk about the resentful souls on the sea.
He was not interested in the resentful souls on the sea, but he was a little wary and didn't want to see Zhou Shoufan again.
But he could avoid seeing him this time, but what about next time?
Besides, he had just become a worshipper of the Tong family, so how could he be absent from the first "meeting".
