Chapter 197 Becoming a Ferryman
Tian Lin raised his hand to grab the eleven copper plates that fell, and said with cupped hands: "This ferry boat and the pennies are valuable, enough to be worth more than two hundred copper plates. So, please take back these eleven copper plates, Senior Brother Zhaixingzi." ”
"Don't call me Senior Brother, and don't give me eleven copper coins - I don't ask about your origins or care about your future. Cause and effect are not mutually exclusive between you and me."
After he finished speaking, Fairy Mei's voice suddenly sounded in the distance and shouted: "Zhaixingzi, why don't you come out quickly? Why don't you give me an explanation for my senior sister's matter?"
The young man on the boat frowned, and Tongtian Lin cupped his hands and said, "I'm still busy with something, and we'll see you later."
By the time Mei Xiangu appeared, the young man had already disappeared onto the sea while holding the boat.
Mei Xiangu frowned and looked at Tian Lin. She stood on the bow of the boat riding the waves and asked Tian Lin, "Where is the star picker?"
Not to mention that Tian Lin didn't know the whereabouts of Zhai Xingzi, even if he knew the whereabouts of Zhai Xingzi, Tian Lin didn't want to wade into the muddy waters between them.
He was just recalling the behavior of Zhai Xingzi just now. It could be seen that Zhai Xingzi didn't seem to want to get to know him.
"I don't know where he went - but Fairy Mei, if you don't go back, I'm afraid Miss Jiang won't be able to suppress those foundation-building monks."
Mei Xiangu snorted coldly and flew up into the clouds.
But at this time, the sea was as dark as a curtain. Even with her high level of cultivation, it was difficult for her to see through the fog and find Zhaixingzi, who had deliberately hidden his whereabouts.
She finally gave up unwillingly, flicking her sleeves and her whole body 'falling' towards the defense line like a meteor.
Tian Lin also took the ferryman's boat at this moment, holding a pennant and returning home.
In his hand, he touched the wooden sign he summoned from his storage bag. There were three wooden signs engraved with the word "Ferry" in Tian Lin's hand at the moment.
These three wooden plaques are of the same shape and are completely black but have different weights.
Tian Lin remembered that Zhai Xingzi also had such a wooden plaque on his waist at that time, but the color of the wooden plaque was edged in red.
"With this wooden sign and the ferry boat, can I become a ferryman?"
Although Tian Lin had such speculation in his mind, he did not hang the wooden sign on his waist rashly.
He held his pennies and quickly returned to the big boat where Mei Fairy was.
Because of the arrival of Fairy Mei, order had been restored to the originally chaotic defense line. Those people didn't know what Tian Lin had gone through, nor did they know about Tian Lin's encounter with Fairy Mei.
When they first saw the ferry boat, their faces looked extremely ugly.
But after seeing Tokita Lin on the ferry boat, their expressions became particularly wonderful, and their minds were completely relaxed.
Now they were no longer worried about the threat of the ferryman, because it was getting dark now and it was time to change defenses.
What they are worried about now is that everyone still owes Tian Lin three high-grade spiritual stones.
It’s just that Tian Lin’s strength is too unfathomable, and they don’t have the guts to default on their debt——
"Second brother!"
As soon as Tian Lin appeared, Gao He smiled and held his hands.
Tian Lin also cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Brother, do you want to give me spiritual stones now? That's fine, you and your sister-in-law can have six high-grade spiritual stones -
If you don’t have high-grade spiritual stones, you can use soul-gathering beads to trade them off. "
Gao He's smile faltered, and he could no longer utter any words that were false or dishonest.
Tian Lin did not get entangled with Gao He, but returned to his ship.
Yu'er quickly stepped forward and handed a bag and a list to Tian Lin.
Tian Lin glanced at the bag and found that there were nine high-grade spiritual stones inside, and the names of three people were written on the list.
Tian Lin cupped his hands with the three people, and then said to the others: "If you don't have enough spirit stones, you can also exchange them for soul-gathering beads. If I remember correctly, you can also exchange them for a soul-gathering bead filled with remnant souls." A top-grade spiritual stone.”
Tian Lin's words seem to be correct, but in fact, who would sell soul-gathering beads for nothing?
In merchants, a soul-gathering bead can indeed be exchanged for a high-grade spiritual stone.
But if you want to buy a high-grade spiritual stone to buy a soul-gathering bead filled with residual souls, you will never be able to buy it.
"That's all, just pretend that I didn't go out tonight."
After a foundation-building monk finished speaking, he took out three soul-gathering beads filled with residual souls and threw them to Tian Lin.
Tian Lin waved his sleeves, and the three beads flying from the air were instantly caught in his sleeves.
Tian Lin smiled, cupped hands with the foundation-building monk, and then said: "Is there any other fellow Taoist who wants to exchange soul beads now?"
There was no way to hide. These people, including Gao He and his wife, eventually turned in the Soul Gathering Pearl.
Mei Xiangu on the big ship watched all this with cold eyes and did not stop Tian Lin.
At this time, on the sea, because of the appearance of three ferrymen from a previous battle, there were not many wandering souls left.
At this time, Mei Xiangu's sword also returned to the shore to look for the foundation-building monks on day duty to change defenses.
After a while, Tian Lin had just collected the soul-gathering beads, and a dozen ships were already approaching from far away.
The process of changing defenses was quite easy. Sisters Tian Lin and Yu'er checked the soul-gathering beads and then returned to the coast smoothly.
Cui'er couldn't help but said happily: "Master Tian has collected so many soul-gathering beads, will he have a chance to join Shuiyun Sect?"
Yu'er believes that Tian Lin is not a star picker, and is certain that Tian Lin is Tian Shuang.
Therefore, she was happier than Cui'er, but after thinking about it, she shook her head:
"Our Tong family has dispatched so many disciples and elders this time just for the quota of Shuiyun sect disciples. Therefore, the quota for the outer disciples will definitely fall on the Tong family disciples. We -
Mr. Tian Dao probably has no chance to become an outer disciple of Shuiyun Sect. "
If Tian Lin becomes a disciple of the Immortal Sect, her two holding swords will make things better, and in the future she can be as showy and powerful as Mei Xiangu's holding swords.
Yu'er didn't have any idea of showing off her power, but she was envious of Mei Xiangu's status of holding a sword and the convenience of practicing.
It is said that when one person attains enlightenment, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven.
Those of them holding swords, selling their possessions and lives, and working as slaves, don't they just want to be in the glory of their masters?
——
While the two maids were chatting, Tian Lin's ship had also docked.
On the coast, people from the east and west have already gathered.
Tian Lin found that the foundation-building monks who were guarding the east to kill Xie Sui were particularly excited, and they were so noisy that they didn't know what they were talking about.
When he arrived at Alchemy Master Long's place, he heard Master Long Alchemy say:
"Young Master Thirteen is really unlucky. He was guarding the south last night, and today he was guarding the west. He thought he could have a good rest. He never thought that west of the city he would meet the God of Japan."
After hearing the words Riyushen, Tian Lin paused with the tea cup in his hand, looked at Master Long, and heard Master Long say:
"Thankfully, the Shuiyun Sect's Jindan monks and Master Zhou took action at that time, otherwise the Thirteenth Young Master might not have been able to come back."
Tian Lin couldn't help but said: "To be able to survive under the hands of Riyu God, this thirteenth young master is very powerful.
It’s just that even if there is a Sun Traveling God on the sea, it should have been eliminated by the predecessors of Shuiyun Sect and Zhou Shang people. How come there is a Sun Traveling God appearing in the sea to the west? "
Listen to Master Long Alchemy say: "How many wandering souls and wandering gods are there in Shenxiantang? How can they be killed so easily? You said that the Thirteenth Young Master is quite powerful, and you are right;
Although the Thirteenth Young Master is not a disciple of the Immortal Sect, his talent and strength are no worse than those of the Immortal Sect's disciples. Everyone also knows that he will soon become an outer disciple of Shuiyun Sect, which is also something Shuiyun Sect acquiesces to. "
Master Long Pill praised Tong Shisan, and then asked Tian Lindao: "I heard that my Taoist friend's Buddha and Demon Freedom Skill has reached the state of great achievement? Is it because he ate my Buddha and Demon Pill?"
Seeing what Master Long said, not to mention Cui'er and Yu'er who thought Master Long was shameless, even Master Long's sword-holding Zhong'er also felt that their master was being whimsical.
Who doesn’t know that Master Long Dan’s Buddha and Demon Pills can’t be used to practice the Buddha and Demon Freedom Kung Fu?
However, Master Long Alchemy was extremely conceited in making pills and didn't think there was anything wrong with the pills he made.
"It seems to have some effect, but I think, Fellow Daoist Long, your elixir formula may not be complete."
It was Tian Lin who made the mistake of speaking. If others commented like this, Master Long Alchemy would definitely be angry.
"I also feel that my formula is not complete. It should be missing one or two medicinal materials. It's just that I still need to slowly test which medicinal materials are missing."
After Tian Lin drank tea, he cupped his hands with Alchemist Long and went up to the second floor of the alchemy room.
Because the area around Shenxiantang was too noisy and crowded, Tian Lin borrowed the second floor from Master Long to practice.
He entered the house, and instead of meditating in a hurry, he took out all the ferryman's wooden signs.
Tian Lin became interested in the red-edged wooden sign of Zhaixingzi after seeing it.
He took one of the wooden signs and squeezed it hard, imitating picking stars.
The wooden sign seemed extremely hard, and even though Tian Lin tried his best, he was unable to shake the wooden sign at all.
Tian Lin frowned, Zhen Qi entered his palm and squeezed it hard again, only to find that the wooden sign in his palm was still intact.
Tian Lin thought about it again and again, and finally bit his finger and dripped the blood from his fingertip on the wooden sign.
In an instant, darkness engulfed the entire room.
When Tian Lin looked up, he found that the sunlight outside the window had turned into moonlight and stars in the sky.
He didn't know where he was. He only saw resentful souls struggling in the water under the vast river.
When he looked up again, he saw only a skull hanging high in the night sky, and countless resentful souls were swallowed up by it in one bite.
"If you don't die, how can you live again?"
Tian Lin didn't know if the voice came from the skull's mouth, but he only saw a finger as tall as a mountain protruding from the void, pointing toward him from the distance.
This means Tian Lin cannot avoid it.
He only felt his soul burning, and the flames made his soul extremely painful.
Tian Lin's eyes were about to burst. Just when he didn't know what to do, the scene in front of him changed.
The moon and stars in the void, as well as the skull that swallowed the souls of the dead, disappeared.
The mountains and rivers underfoot and countless resentful souls have also disappeared.
Tian Lin found that he was still on the second floor of the alchemy room.
People outside the window were still busy and busy with their own things. No one noticed what happened to Tian Lin on the second floor just now.
"Hallucination?"
Tian Lin frowned, then touched the sign on his waist: "It's not an illusion - I am a ferryman now."
