Chapter 148 The Map is Too Big
Chapter 148 The Map is Too Big
"Give me back the sign!"
Zhou Qing took a step forward, but there was no need for the Tong family's ancestor to take any action. Zhou Qing's body was weak and he knelt on the ground, as if he was kowtowing to the Tong family's ancestor.
"Give me back the wooden sign. It belongs to my Zhou family."
Zhou Qing supported himself with his hands, and when he looked up he spat out a mouthful of blood.
The Tong family ancestor frowned, squatted down in front of Zhou Qing, and said: "You are seriously injured and difficult to treat. Give me the password and I can help you heal."
Zhou Qing smiled. He knew that he couldn't get the wooden sign back from the Tong family's ancestor, so he turned to look at Tong Yao:
"Miss Tong, I know you have a kind heart. Zhou Qing has an unwelcome request. I want to ask Miss Zhou to take good care of my wife on my behalf."
Tong Yao looked at Zhou Qing with a hint of pity and sympathy, and finally nodded.
Zhou Qinshi, who was standing by, said with a determined look in her eyes: "You and Xing'er are both dead, what's the point of me living alone in this world?"
She turned her head and looked at Tong Yao and said, "Miss Tong, please bury my family of three together after my husband and I die."
After she finished speaking, she pulled out the dagger from her sleeve.
But she is just an ordinary person and the initiative to commit suicide is not in her hands.
The figure of the Tong family's ancestor flashed, and he broke the dagger with two fingers.
Zhou Qin was unable to commit suicide, but Zhou Qing, who was not far away, cut his heart and died.
"Zhou Qing is dead, you must know the password on the wooden sign. Give me the password and I will spare your life—"
The Tong family's ancestor grabbed Zhou Qin's wrist, with a fierce look in his eyes.
Tong Yao couldn't stand it anymore, and stamped her feet, saying, "Grandpa, for a map, we have already forced two people in his family to death. Now there is only this weak girl left, how can we bully her again?"
Tian Lin didn’t know how the grandfather and grandson quarreled, because as soon as Zhou Qing died, he left the illusion.
"What's the password for the wooden sign?"
As soon as Tian Lin came out of the illusion, he thought for a while and took out the wooden sign from his storage bag.
This wooden sign feels a little heavy in the hand, but apart from its special material, it looks very ordinary.
"Zhou Qing swore to death that he would never tell the password on the wooden sign, so we have no choice but to try to get the password from Zhou Shoufan and Zhou Qinshi. We just want to get the password from these two people--"
Tian Lin paused, put the wooden sign in his hand into the storage bag, and had already made up his mind.
Tian Lin climbed up the stairs and entered the stone steps illusion at the 25th step.
In the illusion, a cool breeze was blowing, and Tian Lin had appeared in the forest beside Kun Lake.
On the grass, Immortal Zhou looked at Tian Lin in confusion and asked, "Master Huang, we have already reached Kun Lake and are about to get the foundation-building pool. Why don't you leave?"
Tian Lin ignored Master Zhou and instead reached out to the subordinate who coveted his position as the hall master and said, "Give me the breath-holding pill!"
The man was obviously stunned and couldn't help but glance at Master Zhou.
Immortal Zhou smiled and said, "Master Huang, don't you have a breath-holding pill?"
Tian Lin said, "I am afraid of water. I am afraid that I will not have enough breath-holding pills after entering the water. By the way, Master Zhou, since you can produce so many breath-holding pills, you must have a method to refine them, right?"
"After all, the Breath-Holding Pill is only a pill for Qi Refiners, and it is not some extraordinary elixir. If Master Huang wants the formula for the Breath-Holding Pill, I will give it to you after we enter the tomb of the Nine-Life Immortal."
"Can't you give it to me now?"
Without waiting for Master Zhou to speak, Tian Lin asked, "You won't even give me the formula for the breath-holding pill, so how can you be willing to share the treasure of the Nine-Life Immortal with me?"
Immortal Master Zhou said angrily, "What kind of logic is this, Hall Master Huang? Could it be that you have changed your mind and don't want to enter Kun Lake anymore?"
Tian Lin smiled and turned to look at the man:
"You also know that we in the Blood Sect often have incidents of rebellion. The reason why I was able to sit in the position of the hall master is that I killed Hall Master Li.
The originator must always be on guard against future generations imitating him - in short, Immortal Zhou is unwilling to give me the formula for the breath-holding pill. "
Master Zhou laughed angrily. He pulled out a booklet from his sleeve and threw it to Tian Lin: "Here you go."
Tian Lin opened the booklet and quickly found the recipe for the breath-holding pill.
He memorized the recipe and took the bottle from the man.
Tian Lin instantly poured three black pills the size of fingers out of the medicine bottle into his palm.
[Disguise Pill, can change a person's appearance for twelve hours, edible]
Looking at this 'Disguise Pill', Tian Lin's lips curled up slightly.
He came to this dreamland for no other reason than this pill.
"Master Huang, what are you laughing at?"
Master Zhou noticed that something was wrong with Tian Lin and couldn't help but ask.
Tian Lin ignored Master Zhou and raised his hand to slap out the rope to tie up Master Zhou.
The man on the other side knew that he had been exposed, so he turned around and tried to escape.
But how could he be faster than Tian Lin's flying sword? While he was in mid-air, he was cut in half by Tian Lin.
Zhou Xianshi on the ground was surprised by Tian Lin's sudden move and couldn't help shouting, "Master Huang, I brought you to Kun Lake with good intentions, why do you repay kindness with hatred?"
Tian Lin poured three 'Disguise Pills' into his mouth, and asked Master Zhou with a sneer:
"Master Zhou, you only gave me the token but refused to give me the map. Aren't you setting a trap to lure me to my death? Where is the kindness?"
Immortal Master Zhou said, "Since you know that there is a map of the tomb of the Nine-Life Immortal, you should know that only the Zhou family masters of all generations know the hiding place on the map. Not only do you not have a map, I don't have a map either."
After he finished speaking, he was surprised to find that Tian Lin's expression suddenly changed.
"Disguise Pill? How come you have this kind of top-grade elixir?"
After saying this, he looked at Tian Lin in horror again: "What are you going to do by turning into Zhou Qing's appearance?"
Tian Lin didn't waste time talking to Master Zhou. He raised his sword and chopped off Master Zhou's head.
As soon as Master Zhou died, the illusion completely collapsed.
After coming out of the illusion, Tian Lin took out the flying sword from the storage bag. He used the sword body to observe his own face.
"I took the Disguise Pill in the illusion, and the effect of the pill is still on me even after I came out of the illusion. Now I really look like Zhou Qing?"
"This Disguise Pill is indeed a rare treasure. But I wonder if it can be hidden from the eyes of a Foundation Establishment expert?"
This time, Tian Lin did not go up the 25th stone step, but turned back to the 19th stone step.
It was still a thorn forest, and there were still two red-robed monks beside him.
The two red-robed monks looked at Tian Lin and asked him, "Old Huang, what are you doing standing there? When Zhou Qing and his wife's carriage comes over, they will see you at a glance. How can we ambush them?"
Tian Lin was stunned when he heard this. He took out his flying sword and looked at himself in the sword: "Have I entered another illusion and automatically changed back to the appearance of Patriarch Yao Yue?"
"Old Huang, didn't you hear me?"
The two red-robed monks were a little angry, so Tian Lin asked them, "Do you two have breath-holding pills?"
"We are here to kill Zhou Qing, not to fish in the river. What's the use of that thing? You want the breath-holding pill. After this job is done, I will give you money to buy it yourself in Pingyang County!"
At this time, the carriage in the distance came closer. This time, the two red-robed monks didn't need to take action. Tian Lin's flying sword directly penetrated into the carriage and beheaded Zhou Qing.
"Oh my God, why did you kill Zhou Qing? We still have to ask--"
The two red-robed monks had only said half of their words when Tian Lin had already escaped from the illusion.
"It has not been twelve hours yet, and I am still Zhou Qing - but in the nineteenth level illusion, I have been 'corrected' by the nineteenth level illusion to look like Patriarch Yao Yue."
Tian Lin looked at himself in the flying sword and wondered if he would be beaten to death by Xing Shanping if he appeared in front of him in this state.
"The herbs for the breath-holding pills are not precious, and the method of refining them is not difficult. Perhaps we can prepare some in reality."
Tian Lin already had a plan in mind. He re-entered the 19th stone step, and without waiting for the two red-robed monks to speak, he used the Wind Travel Technique to reach Pingyang County in an instant.
There were many shops selling breath-holding pills in Pingyang County, not to mention how Tian Lin snatched the breath-holding pills and escaped back into the thorn forest.
When he came back, the battle on the official road was almost over.
"Zhou Qing, we have already let your wife and children go. Are you really going to break your promise?"
Zhou Qing was half lying on the ground, dying, he said: "I feel sorry for you blood cultists who kill people without blinking an eye, what else can I say?"
The two red-robed monks were filled with shame and anger. One of them drew his dagger and was about to torture Zhou Qing, but he heard Tian Lin's voice: "Stop!"
The two red-robed monks turned around and saw the masked Tian Lin and couldn't help but ask, "Who are you? You are not Lao Huang!"
'Old Huang' is old and his face is full of wrinkles.
But at this moment, Tian Lin not only had black hair, but his forehead exposed through the mask was also shiny and white.
"Of course I'm not Lao Huang."
Tian Lin walked up and beheaded the two red-robed monks without waiting for them to speak.
Zhou Qing and Tian Lin on the ground smiled, but tried to get up but it was extremely difficult.
He could only say on the ground: "Forgive me for being rude and unable to stand up to meet you, senior. Thank you for saving my life."
Tian Lin said in a muffled voice: "You don't have to thank me. You should hide yourself well and save your life."
Just as Zhou Qing was about to speak, Tian Lin came forward, picked him up, and threw him back into the thorn forest.
When Tian Lin came out of the thorn forest again, he was wearing Zhou Qing's clothes.
The blood-stained clothes made Tian Lin look extremely embarrassed at the moment. He gritted his teeth, picked up the flying sword and stabbed his waist twice, then used the Wind-walking Technique to rush to Taoist Yun's residence.
Here, Zhou Qin had just put down the infant Zhou Shoufan and was about to rescue Zhou Qing with Taoist Yun, when they saw Zhou Qing stumbling towards them from a distance.
Zhou Qin was overjoyed, and she ran up to the bamboo bridge, hugged Tian Lin, and cried, "I thought I would never see you again."
Tian Lin froze, feeling a little at a loss as to what to do.
Fortunately, Taoist Master Yun came over at this time and supported Tian Lin half of his body: "Where are the two blood cultists?"
Tian Lin said in a hoarse voice, "Dead. I attacked them with the Heart-searching Technique. But because of this, I am now even more injured."
Taoist Master Yun said confidently: "With me here, it won't be that easy for you to die."
Tian Lin said, "I appreciate Mr. Yun's kindness, but can you let me talk to my wife alone?"
Taoist Master Yun frowned, but finally nodded.
As soon as he left, Tian Lin, with the help of Zhou Qin, went to the bed in the hut.
He looked like he was about to die, and said to Zhou Qin:
"I am about to die, and now there are only two things that worry me. One is how you and Shoufan will live in the future. The other is my duty as the gravekeeper of the Qin family."
Zhou Qin grabbed Tian Lin's hand and cried, "Don't worry, I will definitely bring Shoufan up and let him protect the tomb of the Nine-Life Immortal."
Tian Lin's eyes lit up, and he excitedly propped himself up from the bed and asked her, "Do you remember the password for the token?"
Fearing that Zhou Qinshi would be suspicious, Tian Lin added, "If you get the password wrong, you won't be able to retrieve the map. Before I die, I want to confirm it with you again."
Zhou Qinshi just cried and shook her head when she heard this: "No, you won't die, I will ask Elder Yun to save you!"
Tian Lin was impatient with her dithering and said angrily, "My life or death is not important. What's important is the affairs of my Zhou family. Quick, tell me the password again so that I can die in peace."
Zhou Qin just shook her head desperately and cried very sadly.
Seeing this, Tian Lin felt like he was about to cry.
He lay back on the bed, frowned, and began to think about what kind of words he could use to get Zhou Qinshi to speak.
But he suddenly stopped talking, which instead caused Zhou Qinshi to be frightened.
Zhou Qin held Tian Lin's hand and said, "Brother Qing, what's wrong with you? I'll go get Elder Yun to save you!"
Tian Lin pulled her back and said, "If you don't listen to me, just let me die. There's no need to ask Elder Yun to save me."
Just as Zhou Qin was about to open her mouth, Tian Lin asked her again: "Did you forget the password?"
Zhou Qin quickly shook her head and said, "No, no - I'll tell you the password, I'll tell you the password right away."
As she spoke, she took out a token from her bosom and said, "A tomb has been found in Kunhu, and a person has appeared in Qianjiang."
A tomb was found in Kunhu Lake and a person appeared in Qianjiang River?
Tian Lin asked her: "Do you know what it means?"
Zhou Qinshi was surprised and said, "I only know that this sentence can open the token. But I don't know what this sentence means. Brother Qing, is there any secret hidden in this sentence?"
How would Tian Lin know?
Hearing Zhou Qin's questioning, he just shook his head: "This is of course commonplace - you, you take out the wooden sign."
Zhou Qin hurriedly took out the token from her bosom and handed it to Tian Lin with both hands.
Tian Lin took the token and read it again, "A tomb is found in Kun Lake, and a person appears in Qianjiang River."
But the wooden sign did not respond.
Tian Lin frowned and looked at Zhou Qinshi.
Zhou Qin hurriedly took the wooden sign from Tian Lin's hand and then recited a command.
As the command was given, rays of light suddenly burst out from both sides of the wooden sign.
A map projection appeared in the glow of the sunset in an instant.
“The map is actually invisible and is constructed with light.”
Tian Lin suddenly realized, "So, the map is not hidden in the wooden sign. No wonder I couldn't find it."
But he frowned again soon: "This map seems a bit too big. The tomb of the Nine Lives Immortal in Kun Lake only occupies a corner of it - is this really the tomb map of the Nine Lives Immortal?"
