Chapter 116 Elder Xiao Arrives
Chapter 116 Elder Xiao Arrives
Tian Lin ate only a few bites of food and went to another room to see Zhong Wuji.
He really didn't care about Zhong Wuji's life or death. As for the friendship in "Travel Notes", he had already repaid it with Han Yue.
The reason why he came to see Zhong Wuji's situation was simply because of his identity as the peak disciple.
"Brother Zhong looks miserable now, but actually, since he is crazy, he can no longer understand the pain."
Looking at Zhong Wuji who was tied up with iron chains and gagged with cloth, Tian Lin did not show any disgust.
But as soon as he entered the house, he could already smell the stench of urine and feces.
"Why do you want to shut up Senior Brother?"
Tian Lin turned his head and glanced at Han Yue. Han Yue frowned and seemed not to want to say anything. However, Senior Brother Zhao next to him said to Tian Lin with a strange expression:
"I don't know what happened this morning. Senior Brother Zhong pointed at Senior Brother Shiqiu's aunt and said something like 'I've seen her'. But Zhou Shiqiu's aunt is a disciple of the Wenxin Sect and has left the sect before. How could Senior Brother Zhong have seen her?"
Tian Lin nodded after hearing this, as if he had thought of something, and looked at Han Yue again.
But Han Yue lowered her head and obviously didn't want to talk, so Tian Lin didn't say what he was thinking.
"Since Junior Brother Jiang has already returned to the sect, we will wait until Junior Brother Jiang brings back Elder Xiao's decree before making any plans. If there is a chance, we still have to cure Senior Brother Zhong's hysteria."
After saying this, Tian Lin went out of the house, and Han Yue went in to clean the dirt off Zhong Wuji's body.
At this time, Han Yue was not around, so Senior Brother Zhao couldn't help but speak:
"This Junior Sister Han is really outrageous. She only has Senior Brother Zhong in her eyes. Senior Brother Zhangfeng, you have suffered so much for her fellow brothers and sisters, but she has never said a word of thanks."
Tian Lin waved his hand and said, "I didn't save them for this thank you, but it's my duty as the disciple in charge of the sect. Junior Brother Zhao, you have been in Yaoyue Sect longer than me, and you are from an aristocratic family. I wonder if there is any way to quickly enhance spiritual awareness?"
"As far as I know, the only things that can enhance spiritual awareness are spells and initiations.
I heard that the Inquiry of the Heart Sect's Inquiry of the Heart is a spell that consumes and enhances spiritual consciousness. They have a method of initiation, which is that after the foundation builder dies, his spiritual consciousness is fed to other people in the same sect.
Therefore, the spiritual awareness of the disciples of the Questioning Heart Sect is much stronger than that of people from other sects."
Tian Lin's heart moved, and he instantly thought of the Sixth Elder.
But the Sixth Elder was killed by Elder He, and it is likely that he died instantly.
Moreover, even if the Sixth Elder's consciousness was still there, it had now been divided up by the people of the Questioning Heart Sect. Where was his share?
"Forget it, there's no need to talk about spiritual consciousness. I don't know where Junior Brother Jiang lives, so take me there to rest first."
He followed Senior Brother Zhao to a bedroom on the left. After Senior Brother Zhao left, he took out the ghost-head swallow from the storage bag and started eating.
He ate the ghost-head swallow for a while, then circulated his true energy, and couldn't help but think of the Qinglong fish of the Yaoyue Sect.
The entry for the Azure Dragon Fish is 'Thunder Fish', which can replenish thunder spiritual energy and is the favorite spiritual fish of disciples with thunder spiritual roots.
The eyeball of Zhou Shoufan that Tian Lin ate made Tian Lin inexplicably possess the root of thunder spirit.
Now Tian Lin could not feel the benefits of the Thunder Spirit Root, but at least when he circulated his True Qi, he did not feel any difference from the past.
But if the entry did not lie to him, he did possess the thunder spiritual root and could eat thunder fish to enhance his thunder spiritual energy.
"What is Zhou Shoufan's purpose in setting up Room A to preach? If I don't have the words, what will happen if I eat Zhou Shoufan's eyeball?"
Tian Lin's hand felt a little stiff when he touched the dried ghost-head swallow meat. According to his rational analysis, that eyeball was definitely not a good thing.
Once you eat the eyeballs, something bad or weird is bound to happen.
"I ate that eyeball, which caused the 'Stone Sculpture of the Heart' to break. According to Zhou Shoufan's legacy, whoever can break the Stone Sculpture of the Heart can immediately succeed to the position of the headmaster.
In other words, he kept an eye in Room A. Preaching might be fake, but choosing a leader of the Questioning Heart Sect from among those who practiced the technique of questioning the heart throughout the ages would be the real thing.
But how can he be sure that the headmaster he chooses will be able to devote himself to strengthening the Wenxin Sect and do things according to his will? "
If Tian Lin said that he was not tempted by the position of the headmaster of the Wenxin Sect, then he would be lying.
But he knew in his heart that he could never take the position of the head of the Wenxin Sect.
It’s not because the Wenxin Sect didn’t ask about the Dao Mountain, nor is it because the people of the Wenxin Sect live a very simple life.
Tian Lin simply thought that no one in the Wenxin Sect wanted to follow the will of their ancestor.
Not to mention those elders of the Wenxin Sect, nor those disciples and that woman in white.
Then he talked about the leader of the Wenxin Sect who took the initiative to say that he wanted to give the position of leader to himself. If he was really willing to give the position to himself, would he still need to ask for the opinions of his disciples?
This seems to be a fair move, but the result will definitely be rejection of himself by the disciples of the Wenxin Sect.
Tian Lin noticed that Zhou Shichou's attitude towards him seemed to be much colder at that time.
"The position of the head of Wenxin Sect can only belong to the Zhou family. Now that a thousand years have passed, how much effect can Zhou Shoufan's words have? Unless Zhou Shoufan himself comes back to life, how can the Zhou family hand over a thousand years of savings and the fate of the family to an outsider? They even refuse to marry their own daughters and sisters to outsiders--"
After figuring this out, Tian Lin spent the next few days wandering around the Wenxin Sect as an outsider.
He discovered that the Wenxin Sect not only had simple food and clothing, but also practiced extremely hard and cruelly.
The elders of the Wenxin Sect were not like the elders of the Yaoyue Sect who were indifferent to worldly affairs. On the contrary, the elders of the Wenxin Sect used whips all day long to beat the disciples who could not keep up with the progress.
As for the disciples of the sects, apart from the time for eating and sleeping, most of their time is spent on cultivation.
In the blink of an eye, two days passed by. One day, a high-pitched voice of Feihe was heard from the Wenxin Sect:
"Kill, kill, kill them all!"
As soon as this high-pitched voice appeared, Han Yue and Senior Brother Zhao ran out of the house.
Han Yue's face showed little expression, but Senior Brother Zhao did not hide his happiness: "The sect sent people to rescue us."
Tian Lin frowned, "If only Elder He comes, I'm afraid we'll have to give up our lives here."
As soon as Tian Lin finished speaking, a beam of light appeared in the sky.
I saw Elder He standing on the flying sword, and his flying crane riding on his neck and flapping its wings.
"Old fellows from the Questioning Heart Sect, do you want to fight me?"
At this time, six beams of light suddenly appeared in the air, surrounding Elder He. Fortunately, the battle was about to begin. A flying boat approached from afar, and Elder Xiao spoke from the bow of the flying boat:
"Brothers, please don't blame me for coming here uninvited. It's just that my disciples have been away for too long, and as their master, I am very worried."
After saying this, he shouted on the flying boat: "Han Yue, why don't you come and pay your respects to me as your master?"
Han Yue outside the farmhouse quickly knelt down and kowtowed: "Disciple Han Yue greets the master."
On the flying boat, Elder Xiao's eyes instantly locked onto the farmhouse. Tian Lin and Senior Brother Zhao did not dare to be careless and hurriedly stood up to greet Elder Xiao.
Elder Xiao immediately commanded the flying boat to approach the Funiushan Mountain, but was stopped by the six elders of the Wenxin Sect. At this time, the voice of the Wenxin Sect's headmaster rang out from the Wenxin Hall in the distance: "We are guests from afar, brothers, please don't let the brothers from Yaoyue Sect laugh at us for not knowing etiquette."
The six elders then made way and allowed Elder Xiao's flying boat to land at the farmhouse.
As soon as Elder Xiao entered the farmhouse, he was surprised to see that Tian Lin and his companions were safe and sound, and he couldn't help but frown in confusion.
Finally, he set his sights on Tian Lin and asked, "Were you the one who spread the news that I had the formula for the Heart-Searching Pill?"
Tian Lin knew that Elder Xiao had thousands of questions to ask at this moment, but there were too many outsiders at the moment, so even if Elder Xiao had doubts, it was inconvenient for him to speak.
"This disciple deserves death. I disclosed the information about the formula of the Heart-Searching Pill without the consent of the Peak Master. Elder, please punish me."
Tian Lin politely apologized, and Elder Xiao knew that it was Tian Lin who came up with the idea of falsely claiming to have the formula for the Heart-Searching Pill.
But he couldn't reveal it, so he just snorted coldly with a straight face: "I'll settle this matter with you later, why don't you come on the flying boat with me?"
Tian Lin and his companions boarded the flying boat, and the six elders riding on flying swords also boarded the flying boat.
Among these six people, the woman in white has the lowest cultivation level and is not even an elder.
But she stood up and asked Elder Xiao, "How come the auxiliary medicine formula of my Wenxin Sect appeared in your Yaoyue Sect?"
How would Elder Xiao know what Tian Lin was up to?
Elder Xiao stood with his hands behind his back. Facing the question from the woman in white, he just said coldly, "You don't even want to call me Senior Brother, and you still want me to tell you the answer?"
At this time, Elder He in the sky had already flown over. He was standing on the side of the boat and said fearlessly, "I came here with Senior Brother Xiao this time. If you still don't accept it, just have a good fight."
As soon as Elder He finished speaking, the flying crane on his neck flapped its wings again: "Kill, kill, kill him, not a single piece of armor will be left!"
This flying crane seemed to attract more hatred than Elder He. Several elders of the Wenxin Sect were instantly furious, and the woman in white even slapped the flying crane above Elder He's head with a palm.
Elder He reacted incredibly quickly and disappeared from the spot in the blink of an eye.
Just as Elder He was about to use his sword energy, the voice of Master Zhou was heard again in the Heart-Searching Hall: "Brother Xiao, are you here to destroy our Heart-Searching Sect?"
Elder Xiao was not crazy. He quickly stopped Elder He and said, "Brother He, what did you and I say before we left? Take care of your bird and don't cause trouble for no reason."
Elder He did not use his sword energy, but the flying crane on his neck started shouting "Kill, kill, kill" again.
In just a moment, several elders of the Wenxin Sect on the boat almost went berserk again.
At this time, Master Zhou's voice came: "Junior Brother Xiao, I have prepared hot tea, why don't you come to the Heart-Self Hall to meet?"
Elder Xiao waited until Han Yue carried Zhong Wuji onto the flying boat before he controlled the boat to fly towards the Hall of Inquiry.
Tian Lin saw Elder Xiao scanning the mountains of Wenxin Sect, and he suspected that Elder Xiao was considering where it would be most convenient to escape.
Tian Lin didn't know how Junior Brother Jiang reported the situation when he returned to the sect.
But according to Tian Lin's guess, Elder Xiao probably thought that he had lied to him about the formula of the Heart-Seeking Pill.
Since it was a lie, Elder Xiao knew that it would be exposed sooner or later.
That's why we brought the fighting-loving Elder He here. By then, the two foundation-building elders will be able to take a few disciples and escape from the Wenxin Sect.
Tian Lin was also a little confused at this time. The will of the founder of the Wenxin Sect and the matter of the formula of the Wenxin Pill were mixed together, and things seemed to be even more difficult to control.
