Chapter 178 9 Aunt, Prove Your Innocence
Chapter 178 Ninth Aunt, Prove Your Innocence
At that time, Tian Lin was still practicing. He had been practicing the Buddha and Demon Freedom Art for a long time and had cultivated the Buddha and Demon Qi as mentioned in the Buddha and Demon Freedom Art.
However, the Buddha and devil energies are not only scarce in quantity, but also difficult to circulate freely in the body.
Just when Tian Lin was at the critical moment of his training, there was a sound of a door being broken outside.
The gate of the house was split open by a sword, and an old woman holding a flying sword walked in from outside.
The old woman glanced at the cook who was carrying firewood to the kitchen and asked in a hoarse voice:
"Where's that old thief named Tian? Tell him to get out here!"
When she said this, the cook naturally took two steps back in fear and looked towards the main room where Tian Lin was.
Although the cook did not explicitly say where Tian Lin was going, her subconscious actions after showing her weakness exposed Tian Lin's location.
Seeing this, the old woman picked up her sword and went to the main house where Tian Lin was, but was stopped by Cui'er who was driven out of the house.
Cui'er obviously recognized the old woman and she called out "Granny Tan".
But Granny Tan refused to listen to her, and her flying sword turned into a stream of light and flew towards Cui'er.
At this moment, the window frame of Tian Lin's house suddenly broke, and a stream of light flew out from the gap and pierced Granny Tan's head.
Granny Tan stepped back quickly, controlling her own flying sword from a distance to turn around and "protect the emperor".
Granny Tan's and Tian Lin's actions happened in a flash, and in that flash, Cui'er went between life and death.
"Granny Tan?"
In the room, Tian Lin opened the door and walked out, looking a little ugly.
He was practicing his Qi at a critical point when he was suddenly disturbed by Granny Tan. Although he had not gone into a state of infatuation, his breathing was still unstable at this time.
Tian Lin stood in front of Cui'er. His flying sword was still hovering in place, but the tip of the sword was pointing at Granny Tan opposite.
Tian Lin took down the flying sword hanging in the air and said to Granny Tan:
"Whose mother-in-law are you, coming here to slam my door and kill my people?"
Before Granny Tan could say anything, two women walked in from Tian Lin's broken door.
One of the two women is already middle-aged, but she has the same cultivation level as Granny Tan, which is in the early stages of foundation building.
The other woman was a maid, who helped the middle-aged woman into the house.
When the middle-aged woman appeared, Granny Tan put away her sword and retreated to the side of the woman. Then she heard the middle-aged woman ask Tian Lin with a cold face:
"Where did you hide my Jing'er?"
Tian Lin tilted his head to look at Cui'er, who looked pale and said in a trembling voice, "This is the Ninth Aunt. The Master Jing she mentioned is the Seventh Young Master."
In fact, there was no need for Cui'er to explain. How could Tian Lin not know that the person who looked so much like the Seventh Young Master was the Seventh Young Master's mother?
He turned away from Cui'er, clasped his fists at the woman and said, "It turns out that it is the Ninth Aunt who has come—
But there is one thing I don't understand, where did the Seventh Young Master go? As a mother, Ninth Aunt, you don't know, so why do you come to ask me, an outsider?"
Granny Tan next to the woman angrily scolded:
"Don't pretend, old man. Everyone knows that you have a grudge against my young master.
You are the kind of Huahualang who steal and cheat when you are alone, and sell out your master for fame and fortune when you have a master. The ungrateful wolves that people talk about are you guys. "
Tian Lin didn’t know where the old woman got so much resentment from. He just smiled and said nothing, looking at Master Long Dan and Mr. and Mrs. Gao He.
Earlier, this Granny Tan broke into the house and tried to kill someone, causing quite a commotion.
The Gao He couple and Master Long Dan are not deaf, so how could they not be disturbed?
As the two of them entered the room, they happened to hear what Grandma Tan said.
The Gao He couple were fine, but Master Long Dan couldn't pretend not to hear it.
He stamped his feet in anger and cursed, "When did we, the Huahualang, become ungrateful wolves? It's true that we serve the Tong family, but when did we sell ourselves into slavery?"
Granny Tan turned her head and glanced at Master Long Dan. She did not recognize Master Long Dan and thought that Tian Lin's "neighbor" was also someone like Tian Lin. When she heard this, she immediately sneered:
"You fat guy, you are clearly at the foundation-building stage, but your aura is even more disordered than that of an ordinary person. You must have been living a life of debauchery and overindulging yourself in sex, right?
My grandma is out on business today, so get out of here if you know what's best for you."
"Auntie Tan, today we are here to look for Mr. Tian, not to cause trouble, so please don't argue with others."
After the noble lady finished speaking, she apologized to Master Long Dan and said, "Fellow Daoist, please don't mind. Aunt Tan was really worried about the safety of my Jing'er, so she lost her temper when she spoke."
After saying this, the noble lady looked at Tian Lin again and said coldly: "Mr. Tian, tell me quickly, where did you hide my Jing'er?"
Yu'er, who was recuperating in the room, also came out, but she was so unwell that she had to hold on to the door frame when walking.
Tian Lin winked at Cui'er, asking her to support Yu'er and leave this "battlefield".
He was afraid that if a fight really broke out, Cui'er would not only be unable to help, but would also lose her life in vain.
"I really don't understand, Ninth Aunt, how can you be sure that I know where the Seventh Young Master is going? As your old servant said, the Seventh Young Master and I don't have a good relationship, so how could he tell me, an outsider, his whereabouts?"
"You still deny it?"
This noble lady was not as polite to Tian Lin as she was to Master Long Dan.
She suddenly took a step forward and raised her hand to grab Tian Lin's throat.
She was fast, but Tian Lin was not slow either. Tian Lin retreated quickly, and the flying sword in his hand appeared in front of the lady in an instant.
But what was strange was that the woman's palm suddenly seemed to be covered with a layer of gold powder, and with the golden light she directly grabbed Tian Lin's flying sword and easily threw it away.
The ability to hold a blade with bare hands made Tian Lin feel a chill in his heart, and he immediately used the Dragon Elephant Magic Kung Fu to punch the woman.
From high in the sky, a phantom giant kicked down towards the woman.
The woman's expression remained unchanged, and her light palm collided with Tian Lin's.
With this palm, the giant statue behind Tian Lin was instantly shattered, and he was also knocked towards the stone wall behind him.
The stone wall was knocked down by Tian Lin's back, and Tian Lin was covered in dust.
At this time, there was a trace of golden blood on the woman's right hand, which was caused by her previous attempt to grab Tian Lin's flying sword.
At this moment, blood was oozing from the corner of Tian Lin's mouth, which was caused by the woman's palm power.
Both of them were shocked. Tian Lin was surprised at the woman's strength, and the woman was also surprised at the strength of Tian Lin's body.
When the two of them fought, the whole yard was in trouble.
The yard collapsed in half after Tian Lin created a loud noise. Fortunately, Yu'er, Cui'er and the others were protected by Master Long Dan, otherwise they would have been seriously injured by the aftermath.
"Mr. Tian, I didn't mean to kill you just now, so I didn't use much force. If you still don't tell the truth, don't blame me for really killing you."
The lady was in no hurry to step forward, she looked at Tian Lin coldly and spoke.
Tian Lin smiled, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and looked at the noble lady coldly: "Ninth Aunt is so arrogant, and she wants me to explain with empty words -
But Tian is fine, what on earth does he want to explain? "
At this time, the figure of the Great Elder suddenly appeared. Just as the Ninth Aunt was about to take action, the Great Elder shouted:
"Ninth Aunt, please wait. Now is the time for the whole city to work together. How can we kill each other?"
As he spoke, he had already reached Tian Lin, and Aunt Jiu glared at the Great Elder:
“I was just about to ask you, Great Elder, Jing’er went to Chenxiantang to exorcise the evil spirit for the safety of Pingyang City and even the people of the world.
Now Jing'er has been murdered by a traitor, do you want to give me an explanation?"
The Great Elder first turned his head to look at Tian Lin behind him, then glanced at some of the worshippers who had come rushing over after hearing the noise, and then looked at the Ninth Aunt:
"It's true that Jing'er is a hero of Pingyang City, but it's still unknown whether his disappearance is related to Tian Gongfeng."
After saying this, he looked at Tian Lin and said, "Mr. Tian, when did you get on shore, and when did you return to the city?"
Tian Lin said: "I landed at about 1:15 am and went straight back to Pingyang City after landing."
After Tian Lin finished speaking, Master Long Dan, who was protecting Yu'er and Cui'er, also stood up and said:
"I can testify to this! At 2:15 am today, Tian Gongfeng came to my house to ask for medicine for her maid.
I was so obsessed with refining the elixir that I couldn't sleep day and night and felt weak. So when Fellow Daoist Tian came to see me, I hadn't slept yet."
When he said that he felt weak because he had gone crazy from refining the elixir, he looked at Granny Tan with some resentment.
But at this moment, who cares whether his weakness is due to alchemy or excessive indulgence?
Everyone looked at the Great Elder, who said to Aunt Nine, "What Tian Gongsheng said is true, I have already asked the people on the shore of Chenxian Pond.
They all said that they saw Jing'er going to the western sea alone at 2:15 last night, while Tian Gongfeng came back from the south at 1:15 last night.
The two of them lived in the south and west, and had never crossed paths before. So Jing'er's disappearance should not have been caused by Tian Gongfeng."
The Ninth Aunt narrowed her eyes and looked at Tian Lin, as if she wanted to find a flaw in Tian Lin's face.
At this time, Tian Lin also frowned, not looking at Aunt Jiu, and muttered in a thoughtful manner:
“If I remember correctly, this Seventh Young Master has always had a maidservant named Shi Jian by his side.
The Great Elder just said that the Seventh Young Master went to the west alone. Could it be that this Shi Jian was not with him at the time?"
After Tian Lin finished speaking, he looked at Ninth Aunt and said, "If that's the case, why don't you ask this Shi Jian to come over and ask clearly."
Aunt Jiu smiled. She looked at Tian Lin and said, "It doesn't matter if you refuse to admit it. I will wait for another seven days. If my Jing'er doesn't show up after seven days, I will come to find you again.
By then, I won't wait for the Great Elder to save you."
After she finished speaking, she turned around and left.
Granny Tan also snorted coldly, glanced at all the worshippers present, and left with her head held high, following Aunt Nine.
Tian Lin then complained to the Great Elder:
"This Ninth Aunt has no evidence. She only concluded that I murdered the Seventh Young Master based on the fact that I had an argument with him. But how can I be a match for the Seventh Young Master with my cultivation?"
The elder comforted Tian Lin and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Tian. I will get to the bottom of this matter."
