Chapter 96 Big Change, the Big Hand Behind Goodwill?

Chapter 96 Big Change, the Big Hand Behind Goodwill?

Seeing that Tian Lin seemed to reach out and touch the mountain-shaped stone sculpture, Zhou Qing frowned.

Tian Lin immediately withdrew his hand and said with a wry smile:
"Fellow Daoist Zhou is not from my Yulong Continent, so he doesn't know our Yulong Continent's desire for immortal cultivation."

Zhou Qing's expression eased slightly. He put the mountain-shaped stone sculpture back into the storage bag and said:
"Forgive me for being frank, but now that Fellow Daoist Tian has become a member of the Blood Sect, it will probably be difficult for him to join the orthodox sect."

Tian Lin said: "If I tell the Taoist masters of the Daoist Sect about my difficulties, will they forgive me?"

Zhou Qing shook his head: "The Daoist sect is very strict in selecting disciples, so it's better not to have such wishful thinking."

Seeing that Tian Lin seemed to be in a depressed mood, he immediately added:
"But there is always a way out. There is an elder named Yu in the Dao Sect who never asks about people's origins. If Daoist Huang can impress him, then entering the Dao Sect won't be a problem."

After saying this, Zhou Qing coughed and covered his stomach, his face full of pain.

"Brother Zhou is so seriously injured, why don't you stop and heal your wounds before leaving?"

This time Zhou Qing didn't need to speak, the coachman outside the carriage spoke:

"My son is going to Taoist Master Yun to seek medical treatment. If he hadn't been delayed before, he would have already arrived at Taoist Master Yun's house."

The carriage finally stopped on the official road, and the men driving the carriages came forward to say goodbye to Zhou Qing.

It turned out that these people were not actually members of the Zhou family, but bodyguards from the same town as the Zhou family.

Zhou Qing has arrived at the destination at this moment, but they still have to escort the caravan forward.

Tian Lin helped the driver to help Zhou Qing get off the horse. As the three of them walked, Tian Lin asked the driver:

"That Taoist Master Yun is only at the sixth level of Qi Refining. Can he really heal Daoist Brother Zhou's injuries?"

The driver was already tired of Tian Lin's chattering and couldn't help but say, "In the entire Pingyang County, there are only a few people who are better at medicine than Taoist Yun."

Just a few hundred steps into the forest along the official road, there is a bamboo forest and a gurgling stream. A small bridge is built over the gurgling stream, connecting to a thatched cottage in the forest on the opposite bank.

Then a voice came from the thatched cottage:

"Although I am old, my ears are not deaf. If you really don't think highly of my medical skills, then take your friend away and let him ask those alchemists for help!"

Tian Lin naturally didn't care, as it saved him the trouble of doing it himself.

But the driver was anxious and couldn't help saying:
"Master Yun, don't listen to this idiot's nonsense. We are not familiar with him. My son also believes in Master Yun's medical skills. Otherwise, he would not have come to ask Master Yun for help."

At this time, an old man with white hair and beard walked out of the thatched cottage. He glanced at Zhou Qing and said:
"Looking at the poison you've got, it seems like it was given by the Tong family - you, are you Zhou Qing from the Zhou family?"

Zhou Qing smiled with a pale face and said, "It's been a few years since we last met. I didn't expect that Taoist Yun would still recognize me."

The old man waved to Tian Lin and the driver to help Zhou Qing into the house. He followed in and said:
"Why don't I remember? When you entered the Dao Sect, everyone said you were a child of destiny."

After Tian Lin and the driver put Zhou Qing on a table and chair nearby, the old man took out a silver needle and walked towards Zhou Qing.

He lifted Zhou Qing's clothes and then inserted a silver needle into Zhou Qing's stomach.

When he took out the silver needle, it was covered with black and smelly blood.

[Tianling Water, a precious medicine to assist in practicing Tianling Arts, edible]

Looking at the blood on the silver needle, Tian Lin swallowed his saliva. The old man turned his head and asked Tian Lin: "Do you want to taste it?"

Tian Lin shook his head, and the old man turned to Zhou Qing and asked:
"I heard that you were engaged to the proud daughter of the Tong family. Now it seems that the injury was caused by the Tong family. What's going on?"

The driver next to him gritted his teeth and said:
"That Miss Tong is so arrogant. When she heard that my son was expelled from the Dao Sect, she immediately came to cancel the engagement."

The old man took out the knife and said:

"Your Zhou family is considered a prominent family in this town. It is unreasonable for her to come to your house to cancel the engagement. Why did she dare to hurt you? Who will dare to marry her in the future?"

The driver said, "Who told her to have a female master? She became a disciple of Shuiyun Sect, so she looked down on my son. My son just said, 'Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west, don't despise the poor young man—'"

"And then he was injured?"

The old man laughed and listened to Zhou Qing's explanation:

"It was her sword slave who hurt me. The sword slave said that he should just kill me, so that he wouldn't have to wait until I was a man of my prime to go back and seek revenge."

At this time, Tian Lin looked at the sky outside and it was still a little early.

The old man said, "I am going to open your stomach and drive out the poison now. You two should stop standing here and wait outside."

Tian Lin and the driver bowed and left the house, then came to the lounge chair under the eaves.

He picked up a few books placed in front of the recliner and quickly found a book called "Poison Antidote".

Taoist Master Yun’s books are all medical books, and there are no Taoist books like magic that Tian Lin is interested in.

But soon, Tian Lin's gaze stopped on the three words "heart-breaking Gu".

He looked through the process of refining the Heart-Grief Gu and the formula for the antidote, and became thoughtful.

At this time, the voice of Taoist Master Yun was heard in the room:
"Can anyone of you help me hold this kid down? I don't know how I made him fall asleep, but he's showing signs of waking up."

Tian Lin looked at the sky again. Logically, there was still an hour left before the illusion was shattered.

But he obediently put down the medical book, then pushed the door and went into the inner room.

Looking at Zhou Qing, whose stomach had been cut open and his intestines removed, Tian Lin strode over.

Although Zhou Qing was in a coma, his brows were knitted tightly and his head was covered with sweat. Taoist Master Yun was not very skilled, so he pressed Zhou Qing's shoulders and said to Tian Lin, "Hold him down quickly, and I will give him acupuncture."

Tian Lin didn't hesitate any more after hearing this and smashed Zhou Qing's head with one finger.

Taoist Yun's face changed, and he said, "I asked you to hold him down, not to kill him—"

The illusion gradually became blurred, and Tian Lin could no longer hear what Taoist Yun was cursing.

When he opened his eyes again, he had reappeared on the Wendao Mountain.

At this time, the Taoist bell rang and the sky became completely bright.

Tian Lin glanced at Old Man Gou on level 95. He saw that the old man's eyes were red. He stood solemnly, looking up at the endless peak.

Tian Lin followed his gaze and looked towards the top of Wendao Mountain.

He couldn't help but think of Zhou Qing's mountain-shaped stone sculpture.

The mountain-shaped stone sculpture is exactly the same as the one on Mount Wendao.

And if the mountain-shaped stone sculpture is a rockery made of stone, then what about Yaoyue Sect’s Wendao Mountain?
There are no birds or insects on the Dao Mountain of Yaoyue Sect, and even the flowers, plants and trees are lifeless. It is a completely man-made nature.

"Ancestor Yaoyue returned to Yulong Continent from Cangzhou and built such a large 'mountain-shaped stone sculpture'. What does he want to do?"

"After he left the Blood Sect, did he join the Wending Sect and become a disciple of the Wending Sect?"

Apparently no one could answer Tian Lin's question, because the people of Yaoyue Sect only knew that Wendao Mountain was built by Patriarch Yaoyue, but the origin of Wendao Mountain, at least the menial disciples were not clear.

"Inner and outer disciples of each peak should hurry to Yuechi Mountain to receive orders!"

Just as Tian Lin was distracted, accompanied by the ringing of the Taoist bell, Elder He's flying crane began to shout again at the top of its voice.

Feihe was not stupid. It did not dare to hover over the Wendao Mountain and only shouted at the top of its voice on the Baihua Peak.

When asked about the mountain, Tian Lin was stunned for a moment, then he glanced at Old Man Gou and hurried down the stone steps.

When he came down from the Asking Dao Mountain, he saw Xiao Hong's figure appear at the Baihua Peak.

After more than half a month, Xiao Hong no longer looked sad, at least on the surface.

But she looked quite depressed, and said to Tian Lin: "In the past half month, the sect has been in a mess. Yesterday, my grandfather came back and had a tantrum in the peak."

Tian Lin was not surprised that Elder Xiao got angry. Given Elder Xiao's hot temper, Tian Lin would be surprised if he didn't get angry one day.

"Senior sister, do you know why the sect is so anxious to find us to go to Yuechi Mountain?"

Tian Lin asked, and Xiao Hong shook her head and said, "My grandfather went to Yuechi Mountain again this morning. I guess something big is going to happen. But I don't know what it is."

Tian Lin also felt gloomy in his heart. He pinched the sign in his hand. It was given to him by Elder Liu.

The two of them went all the way to Yuechi Mountain, and finally saw Elder Xiao at the enlightenment field at the back of Yuechi Mountain.

In fact, except for the Dao Mountain, all other mountains of the Yaoyue Sect have such a spacious place for enlightenment.

Tian Lin didn’t know about other sub-peaks, but after he entered Lianshui Peak and became an outer disciple, he never saw Elder Liu summon the disciples of Lianshui Peak to the back mountain to learn Taoism.

But at this moment, although there were seven elders sitting in the enlightenment field of Yuechi Mountain and the headmaster sitting on the high platform, these elders and the headmaster were obviously not there to preach.

"All the disciples are here, why is Elder Liu not here?"

On the high platform, Xing Tongtian, dressed in Taoist robes, spoke.

His voice was not loud, but everyone present heard his question clearly.

Nearly a hundred disciples in the sect looked at each other, and no one could answer Xing Tongtian.

Xing Tongtian sat on the chair, still playing with the tea lid in his hand, and asked again: "Are all the disciples of Lianshui Peak here? Is there no one who can answer my question?"

Tian Lin frowned. It was not the business of the merchant that was under investigation, so that was fine.

However, the second and third stewards were in the sect, but they did not stand out.

Tian Lin had no choice but to stand up and said, "To answer the master's question, I was climbing the Dao Mountain last night, so I don't know where the master is."

Of course, he would not tell anyone about his visit to Elder Liu last night, but he did not lie. He was indeed hiking on Mount Wendao in the second half of the night.

"Which disciple will go to Lianshui Peak?"

After the headmaster asked, Elder Xiao on the side couldn't help but curse:
"What the hell are you going to do? If Old Liu had known that your leader was not a good person, he would have escaped by now!"

"Escape?"

Xing Tongtian sneered, "When the sect is faced with such a major event, how can he, the chief elder of Yaoyue Sect, just walk away? Send someone to Shangjia Fort to find Shang Yu and ask him to come back and check the whereabouts of his master."

Below, Tian Lin's heart moved.

He didn't know why Xing Tongtian was so sure that finding Shang Yu would be able to uncover Elder Liu's whereabouts.

Besides, logically speaking, Shang Yu was just an ordinary outer disciple. How could he be so confident that Xing Tongtian would remember his name and pay attention to his movements?
