Chapter 190 Mei Xiangu's Purpose
Rong Gongfeng did not dare to touch Master Long's brow again, but looked at Tian Lin:
"The Great Elder wants to divide those of us who are in the early stages of foundation building into three groups. Fellow Daoist Tian is going to follow Aunt Mei, or the Thirteenth Young Master, or?"
"Since we are going to sea, of course we have to follow Tong Shisan. After all, we are also worshipers of the Tong family. As for the one surnamed Mei, a disciple of the Immortal Sect like her has made it clear that she will use us as a ghost."
Rong Fengfeng was slandering Mei Xiangu behind her back entirely because of his "personal grudge" with Mei Xiangu.
But his words were recognized by several people present.
In the past half month, they had seen clearly what Tong Shisan was like.
Coupled with his status as a worshiper of the Tong family, Tong Shisan would not harm them even if he did not take care of them.
"I'm afraid we can't decide who to go to sea with. Let's wait and see how the great elder arranges it after dark."
Tian Lin was the youngest and spoke slowly and softly, but he was the one who spoke with the most weight among the people present.
He told Master Long Alchemy: "Fellow Taoist Master Long's alchemy skills are naturally few others, but he probably doesn't have much experience in risking one's life. It's best to go back and make preparations while it's not dark yet."
Master Long Dan nodded, and after exchanging hands with Tian Lin, he threw another flying sword from his storage bag and left Shen Xiantang directly.
Gao He and his wife also left. In addition to taking Xiang'er with them, they also planned to find some monks from the twelfth level of Qi Refining to go to sea together.
How to collect more remnant souls is no longer something that Gao He and his wife should consider.
What they have to worry about now is how to survive on Shenxiantang.
If you can survive, the remaining soul is indispensable.
Soon at night, sisters Yu'er also came to find Tian Lin.
Although 'Tian Shuang' is dead, the two girls are still holding swords.
Their slave status is still in the Tong family, and the Tong family even sent offerings to Shenxiantang to fight for their lives. How could they let these two cannon fodder go?
By the time Yu'er sisters found Tian Lin and wanted to accompany Tian Lin out to sea as "Tian Shuang" holding a sword, Gao He and his wife had already appeared with Xiang'er and several sword slaves they found from nowhere.
At this time, in Shenxiantang, only the original shops were still open, and no one was setting up street vendors.
There were a group of people including foundation building and Qi refining monks. After a while of commotion, the figure of the great elder finally appeared.
Appearing with the great elder, there were more than a dozen monks who were in the later stages of foundation building.
These monks in the later stages of foundation building are all elders of the Tong family.
The Tong family has been passed down for thousands of years and has trained many foundation-building monks, so it was possible to recruit more than a dozen elders.
"Shenxiantang has been invaded by evil spirits. My Tong family, you all, and the entire Pingyang City can be said to be prosperous and devastated——
So when you go to sea, how can we, a dozen old guys, just sit back and watch? "
After he finished speaking, he turned to look at the dozen or so people behind him and said, "You guys go ahead, our Tong family needs everyone to fight for their lives, how can we hold back?"
The dozen elders didn't waste any time. They stepped onto the flying sword and immediately got into the heavy fog of Shenxian Pond.
Looking at the white fog under the dark night, the foundation-building monks and Qi-refining monks present were silent.
In just one day, the fog in Shenxiantang has become thicker. It is foreseeable that more wandering souls and night wandering gods will appear tonight.
It is hard to say how many people will die this time when we go to sea.
"Now let's divide the people into three groups. Everyone on my left will follow Tong Shisan and head south first."
After the great elder finished speaking, the people below exploded.
Many people are willing to follow Tong Shisan, because Tong Shisan will not kill people easily.
But although it would be good to follow Tong Shisan, we are going to the most dangerous southern sea area. Who is willing to agree?
The people on the left of the great elder were talking about it, but Gao He and others in the middle were very happy.
Gao He smiled and said: "I was very envious at first when I heard that the person on our right could follow the Thirteenth Young Master, but now I am not envious at all."
Cai Shu leaned her body close to Tian Lin and said with a smile: "Fortunately, our second brother is standing in the middle, otherwise we would be the ones going south this time."
Tian Lin felt the soft touch on his shoulders and felt uncomfortable.
But he couldn't remind him aloud, after all, Gao He next to him didn't care about this, and everyone else's attention was on the great elder.
"Everyone! Tonight you follow the Thirteenth Young Master to guard the south. Tomorrow night it will be these fellow Taoists in the middle who will guard the south!
The three of us would change positions every time, and no one would suffer. "
This is actually quite true. After all, Shenxiantang is becoming more and more dangerous every day.
Those who guard the south tonight will be more dangerous today.
But those who guard the south tomorrow night will encounter more dangerous night wandering gods and wandering spirits than today.
If you really think about it, the person standing in the middle will suffer more than the person standing on the right side of Tian Lin.
In an instant, Gao He's face fell. Although Cai Shu was still close to Tian Lin, she no longer used her high hat to coax him.
On the contrary, Rong Gongfeng smiled and said: "Fortunately, we are standing in the middle with Taoist Master Tian. No matter which side we line up from, we will go to the south tomorrow -
Therefore, whether it is a loss or a profit, it is not the biggest loss or profit. "
As soon as he said this, Gao He and his wife also laughed.
Tian Lin was a little dumbfounded and said: "I don't know who we are following yet. Let's first listen to what the great elder says."
Everyone looked at the Great Elder above and saw the Great Elder saying: "The Taoist friends in the middle will follow Mei Xiangu and guard the east side tonight. And the Taoist friends on my right will follow Mr. Tan and guard the west side tonight."
The elder knew that there was no absolute fairness in the world, and the decision he made would be questioned no matter what.
So once he finished talking about the result, he immediately slapped out his flying sword and said, "Fellow Daoists, Tong is going first."
Before everyone could react, the elder had already turned into a beam of light and disappeared on the sea.
At this time, Mei Xiangu walked to the middle, she glanced at everyone, and pointed at the Dragon Pill Master with her white hand:
"Fatty, I heard that you are very diligent in refining pills. You don't have to follow us this time."
As soon as this was said, someone immediately stepped forward and said, "Mei Xiangu, I am also an alchemist."
Mei Xiangu said, "This group of people only need this fat man, and the rest of you will follow me to Chenxiantang."
After she finished speaking, she pointed to Tian Lin and a group of people beside Tian Lin and said,
"Tonight, you will go out to sea with me. Tomorrow, during the day, the rest of you will go out to sea with me."
The rest of the group was naturally overjoyed, but Gao He and others who were with Tian Lin wanted to complain but didn't dare.
They watched Mei Xiangu go to Chenxiantang first, and could only follow behind her.
At this time, Yu'er and Cui'er, who were standing outside, also found Tian Lin. Gao He and his wife, Rong Gongsheng, also came over with the sword and the sword slave and said to Tian Lin:
"It's better for us not to disperse. We can take care of each other together."
Tian Lin did not comment. His wooden boat was not big, and it would be crowded if he took Yu'er and Cui'er with him.
But the small boat was easy to turn around, and Tian Lin did not plan to change to a big boat.
Tian Lin said directly to the two girls: "You two are not my maids, so I will not let you work in vain this time."
Yu'er said: "It's better for us to follow Master Tian than to be used as a scapegoat by other masters.
In fact, Master Tian, you are willing to let us follow you, and my sister and I are very grateful."
She said the truth. After all, they could not escape the fate of being cannon fodder in Chenxiantang.
Instead of following others, it is better to follow Tian Lin.
At least Tian Lin is quite capable and has a good reputation. When the great elder was speaking, Rong Gongsheng Bao Jian told her two sisters about Tian Lin's chivalrous act.
"Okay, think whatever you want. One of you will row the oars for me, and the other will help me collect the remaining souls. I will not leave you alone to escape unless it is absolutely necessary."
Tian Lin got on his small wooden boat first, and on his left and right were Rong Gongsheng's big boat and Gao He and his wife's big boat.
They knew that it was easier to escape with a small boat, but a small boat could accommodate fewer people.
Gao He and his wife brought Xiang'er with them this time, as well as four or five Bao Jian.
The same was true for Rong Gongsheng.
In a flash, hundreds of large and small boats on Shenxiantang hung wind lanterns and hoisted sails to the open sea.
Not to mention the group of people heading south with Tong Shisan, let alone Mei Xiangu, who was now closely followed by Tian Lin.
Mei Xiangu was seen standing on the big boat, and the hull was engraved with exquisite runes.
On the big ship, there were four maids in pink clothes, holding palace lanterns in their hands, and walked behind Mei Xiangu.
The sea breeze blew Mei Xiangu's skirt constantly, and she walked to the bow and placed the potted plant in her hand on the table at the bow.
At this time, before leaving the offshore, evil spirits flew in the fog.
These wandering souls did not need Mei Xiangu to do it herself. Several maids beside him had taken out wooden swords and killed all the evil spirits that pounced on them.
Two of these maids were in the initial stage of foundation building, and they must have been Mei Xiangu's swords.
After they killed these wandering souls, they did not use the soul collection beads to collect them.
Tian Lin, who was leaning against the back of the big ship, looked up. Because of the true eye fruit and his strong spiritual awareness, he could see that after Mei Xiangu took out a stick of incense and placed it in front of the potted plant and lit it, all the wandering souls that were killed were absorbed by a branch in the potted plant.
The branch absorbed the residual souls and began to grow. The speed was extremely slow, and ordinary people could not see it at all.
But Tian Lin was sure that the branches in the potted plants were indeed growing.
Tian Lin was somewhat confused. If the jade-faced scholar from Shuiyun Sect came to Chenxiantang because of the sect's order.
Then Jian Jue should have come to Chenxiantang for Chenxiantang's sword energy.
These two people have their own purposes, and Mei Xiangu also has her own purpose.
She seems to be using these residual souls to cultivate her potted plants.
Tian Lin didn't know what tree the branches and leaves in the potted plants were from, but he was sure that the branches and leaves must have an extraordinary origin.
"Mei Xiangu came to Chenxiantang to grow her trees. Then, what about Zhaixingzi? Why did Zhaixingzi come to Chenxiantang from the Northern Wilderness?"
Tian Lin had a question in his heart, but unfortunately no one could answer it.
Because until now, no one has seen Zhaixingzi show up.
The funny thing is that many people mistook Tian Lin for Zhaixingzi.
"Master Tian, Mei Xiangu's boat is sailing too fast, we can't catch up."
