Chapter 149 Taoist
Chapter 149 Taoist
When the time came, the real Zhou Qing, dragging his serious injuries, almost crawled to Tian Lin's bed.
Taoist Master Yun and Zhou Qin looked at Tian Lin on the bed in surprise and doubt. At this moment, Tian Lin's face returned to that of 'Ancestor Yaoyue'.
Zhou Qin was shocked and angry, pointing at Tian Lin and unable to speak for a while.
Zhou Qing didn't need Tian Lin to help him at all. He died as soon as he crawled to Tian Lin's side.
The illusion disappeared, and Tian Lin returned to Wendao Mountain again.
"I know the map by heart, but is this really the tomb map of the Nine-Life Immortal?"
Tian Lin looked around. Although there seemed to be no one around, he knew that the token and the map were too closely related, and he always felt that the walls had ears.
After thinking for a while, Tian Lin entered the thirteenth stone step.
The thirteenth stone step represents the fifty-sixth year that Patriarch Yaoyue has been in Cangzhou, and is also the day when Master Zhou mentioned that Chenxiantang would be "changed for water".
Tian Lin's main purpose for entering this fantasy world was to visit Chenxiantang.
He was now outside the alchemy room in the valley, and those coming and going in the stone cave were all mortals who had just become Qi Refiners.
Tian Lin ignored these people and entered the stone chamber first, then took out the token from the storage bag.
"A tomb was found in Kunhu, and a person appeared in Qianjiang!"
Tian Lin muttered something, and in an instant a ray of light appeared from the wooden sign, and a three-dimensional drawing with blue light appeared in the dark stone chamber.
"wrong!"
Looking at the drawing, Tian Lin frowned.
He discovered that this blueprint had one more mountain than the one Zhou Qin had "summoned".
"It is Daodao Mountain, but why does Daodao Mountain exist?"
"My command failed to summon the blueprint of the token in the illusion. But Zhou Qin summoned the blueprint, and there were only nine mountains in the blueprint.
Those nine peaks are one less than what I see now. So the Dao Mountain I see now must have been added by Zhou Shoufan or someone else after Zhou Qing's death."
Tian Lin now relies on guessing everything, and even if he has guesses, he cannot confirm them.
He thought of what Zhong Wuji had told him before he died, that the ancestor Wenxin had a thousand-year-old tree hidden on the Wendao Mountain.
Since the Zhou family's token can open Kun Lake, then is there also such a "tomb" on Mount Wendao that can only be opened with the Zhou family's token?
He had some ideas in mind, and without hesitation he used the Wind Walking Technique to reach Chenxiantang.
Looking at the boundless 'Wood Spirit Foundation Building Pond', Tian Lin jumped directly into the Chenxian Pond.
During the next half month, Tian Lin not only wandered around the Wendao Mountain looking for a stone hole to insert the token, but also spent his time "soaking in the Immortal Pond" in the illusion of the Wendao Mountain.
The water in Chenxiantang is replaced every five years, but the more than ninety stone steps in the second section of Wendao Mountain are nearly a hundred years old.
The sun and moon in the illusion are different from those outside. In reality, Tian Lin soaked in the Chenxian Pond for a month before his twelve meridians were transformed into golden spiritual veins.
In the illusion, it only took him ten days to refine the wood, water, and fire spiritual veins.
Now the Earth Spirit Vein is only missing the last piece and can be fully refined at any time.
But even though he was about to build the foundation, Tian Lin still couldn't find the stone hole that matched the token on the Asking Mountain.
"I walked through all the ninety-plus stone steps in the illusion of the Dao Mountain, except for the last section. But I'm not sure I can get in and out of the last few steps safely."
“If I can’t reach the foundation-building stage, I can only move around the second section of stone steps and the mountainside of the Dao Mountain.
But I checked almost every rock wall and forest on the mountainside, so I guess there is nothing I missed."
Tian Lin planned to take it slow and not rush into building his foundation.
He had already sent a letter to Zhao Bei, asking him how many spirit clam pearls he had prepared, and he could go and get them with his spirit stones.
As long as there are enough spiritual clam beads and he can practice the Cangming sword technique and earth escape technique to perfection, he will be able to reach the second platform without building a foundation.
The next day, Tian Lin found himself in the illusion of the 90th stone step.
There was a sudden downpour mixed with lightning, and he didn't know how long Patriarch Yaoyue had been kneeling in front of the Taoist temple.
He could only tell from the deep pit in the mud beneath his knees that Patriarch Yaoyue had been kneeling in front of this dilapidated Taoist temple for quite some time.
The ruined Taoist temple was built in a remote mountain. It only had a courtyard wall that was neither big nor high, surrounding a stone house that was neither broken nor new.
Tian Lin had seen this stone house last time. It was both a scripture hall and a bedroom, except for the stone statues that the Taoists used to worship.
Looking at this Taoist temple named 'Xiaoyu Temple', Tian Lin actually didn't quite understand why Patriarch Yaoyue was kneeling at the gate of this Taoist temple.
The last time he came to this fantasy land, he just took a quick look around.
He also found that apart from the Taoist boy in the temple who had some cultivation, this Taoist temple was actually very ordinary, and the mountain where the temple was located was also very ordinary.
In short, with the Taoist temple as the center, there is nothing magical about the surrounding villages, towns and mountains.
So when Tian Lin came in last time, he didn't find anything useful, so he just killed the Taoist boy and left.
'squeak'
The Taoist temple's shabby gate was opened from the inside. It was not yet completely bright in the sky, and with the sky covered with dark clouds, the whole world seemed dim.
In the Taoist temple, a Taoist boy came out carrying a small wooden bucket with a lid. He poured the bucket next to Tian Lin, and the yellow and smelly liquid instantly spilled all over the ground.
Fortunately, Tian Lin used his true energy to protect himself, otherwise the bucket of filth would have splashed all over him.
Tian Lin raised his head and glanced at the Taoist boy.
This Taoist boy looked to be about seven or eight years old. Tian Lin had killed him last time and knew that he was only at the fourth level of Qi Refining.
But Tian Lin did not dare to underestimate this Taoist boy, because this Taoist boy's spiritual awareness was even superior to his.
The other party was practicing magical skills and had some strange treasures in his hands, so it was very difficult for me to kill him.
At this time, the Taoist boy also looked at Tian Lin.
He smiled and said, "You are sincere, but I told you that our master is not in the temple. Even if he returns to the temple, he will not accept you as his disciple—"
Tian Lin didn't say anything. He failed to get more information about the Taoist temple last time he came in. This time he was determined to find out the secrets of the Taoist temple.
According to Tian Lin's guess, if there were no significant benefits, how could Patriarch Yao Yue kneel in this broken Taoist temple and be humiliated by this junior at the fourth level of Qi Refining?
"How about this, if you can lick my toilet bowl clean, when the master comes back, I will ask him to accept you as his apprentice."
Tian Lin frowned, and the Taoist boy laughed, carrying the toilet bucket back to the Taoist temple and slammed the door.
Tian Lin was still kneeling on the ground, and he himself didn't know what the point of kneeling was.
Finally, the clouds cleared and the rain stopped, and the sunlight broke through the haze, illuminating the entire mountain.
In the Taoist temple, the childish voices of Taoist children chanting scriptures could be heard.
After about another hour, the Taoist boy opened the temple door and walked out.
He walked up to Tian Lin and touched the feces not far away with his toes.
There was some "soup" in the feces, probably because it was soaked in urine in the toilet and then washed away by rain.
It doesn't stink anymore, but it still looks disgusting.
"You have been kneeling for more than ninety days, right? Even if you are at the twelfth level of Qi Refining, can you really endure without food or water?"
He pursed his lips and tempted Tian Lin, "Eat it. If you eat this shit, I will let you enter the temple. You don't need the master to come back. I will help you build your foundation first, and then teach you magic skills."
Tian Lin looked up at the Taoist boy. He couldn't believe that a child of seven or eight years old could speak so arrogantly about helping others build their foundation.
"Why do you force me to eat shit?"
Tian Lin asked the Taoist boy in confusion, and the Taoist boy said, "If dogs can eat feces, why can't people? Besides, although my feces are a bit smelly, they are still very nutritious."
Tian Lin glanced at the golden color in the soil, turned his head and said, "I am here to seek the truth, not to be teased. I am kneeling to the master of the temple, not to a Taoist boy like you."
The filthy entry was tempting, but Tian Lin had no interest in eating it.
"Haha, you don't even want to eat feces, and you still want to see my master? You don't even dare to eat feces, and you dare to say that you are sincere in practicing Taoism?"
The Taoist boy walked up to Tian Lin. Because he was very short, he could stand just at eye level with Tian Lin.
"Let me tell you, this path of cultivation is harder than you think. If one could achieve immortality simply by eating feces, how many people would want it?
In order to see my master, you were not afraid to kneel for more than 90 days, but you were stumped by a pile of feces. What are you talking about cultivating the Tao?"
Seeing that Tian Lin remained unmoved, he simply turned around and closed the door.
In the Taoist temple, the voice of the Taoist boy floated out and said to Tian Lin: "If you want to see the master of my Yu Temple, you have to pass me. You want to go to the Taoist Mountain, with your identity as a blood believer, only the master of my Yu Temple is willing to accept you -
So, you have to eat this shit whether you want to or not!"
Master Yuguan, ask about the Taoist mountain?
Tian Lin finally understood the purpose of Patriarch Yao Yue kneeling in front of this Taoist temple.
It finally became clear who the master of Xiaoyu Temple was.
"Zhou Qing once said that there is only one person in the entire Wendao Sect named Elder Yu who accepts disciples regardless of their background. So, this temple master is Elder Yu? Did you invite Old Ancestor Yue to come here in order to join the Wendao Sect?"
After finding out what happened, Tian Lin entered the Taoist temple and flew straight to the Taoist boy with his sword.
He knew that the Taoist boy had a magic weapon like a collar in his hand. Once the collar was thrown out, it would tie up the person like a rope.
He also knew in his heart that the Taoist boy had a magical power that allowed him to kill people through sound waves.
Therefore, after Tian Lin opened the Taoist temple, when his flying sword went straight for the Taoist boy, he used the earth escape technique to drill into the ground again.
The bell of the collar rang on the ground. Tian Lin was hiding underground and was not worried about being caught by the collar.
But those two 'woof woof' sounds were transmitted directly from the ground to the underground.
Tian Lin felt as if struck by lightning, and he felt that his spiritual consciousness was about to explode from the sound waves.
Fortunately, the Taoist boy had only the fourth level of Qi Refining and was still unable to avoid the attack of his flying sword.
Soon, the illusion began to fade.
"Why did this Taoist boy ask Yue Laozu to eat shit? What kind of fetish does he have?"
"I just don't know whether Patriarch Yaoyue ate it in the end or not?"
Tian Lin didn't know whether Patriarch Yaoyue had eaten or not. Anyway, when the 91st level illusion came, Patriarch Yaoyue had already entered the Taoist temple and started to eat and live with the Taoist boy.
