Chapter 179: Master Zhou

After the Great Elder finished speaking, he sent someone to the palace to invite craftsmen to repair Tian Lin's yard. At the same time, he chatted briefly with the surrounding worshippers before leaving.

After Tian Lin sent everyone away, another hour passed.

In this hour, most of the house had been repaired, using only special materials.

The courtyard returned to peace. Tian Lin waited for the cook to close the door and returned to his room before he vomited out the blood that was held in his internal organs.

Yu'er, who was supported by Cui'er into the house, looked unhappy and asked anxiously, "Master, are you okay?"

Tian Lin shook his head and rinsed his mouth before saying:

"Has this Ninth Aunt cultivated a golden body? She was able to block my flying sword with one hand. It shows that I am far from being her opponent."

Hearing that Tian Lin could calmly "praise" Aunt Jiu, Yu'er finally felt relieved, knowing that Tian Lin was fine.

She couldn't help but be a little surprised and couldn't help but say:
"Compared to Ninth Aunt, you are also very powerful. You know, although Ninth Aunt is only in the initial stage of foundation building, she has cultivated the Golden God Art to the small success stage.

Even if she didn't exert any strength, a normal person in the early stage of foundation building would be poisoned by that palm strike."

poison?
Tian Lin was not afraid of the poison entering his body.

After thinking for a while, Yu'er waved her hand to let Cui'er leave. After Cui'er left, she asked Tian Lin:

"The disappearance of the Seventh Young Master really has nothing to do with you, Master?"

She didn't believe that Tian Lin could kill the Seventh Young Master. But the strength Tian Lin had just shown was obviously not that of an ordinary early foundation building cultivator.

Yu'er admitted that she had made some mistakes, so she also doubted whether the Seventh Young Master really died at the hands of Tian Lin.

"You also heard what the Great Elder said just now. The Seventh Young Master went to the west, and I came from the south. The Seventh Young Master and I went in opposite directions, and we never met in the end. How can I kill him?"

After Tian Lin finished speaking, he rinsed his mouth with tea again.

He always believed that secrets should not be revealed if possible.

Although in theory, Bao Jian is the closest person and they can plan things together. And Yu Er and Cui Er have also shown their loyalty at critical moments.

But Tian Lin himself is not a loyal person. He does not really believe in qualities like loyalty, and even less does he believe how long these qualities have a "shelf life".

Seeing Tian Lin deny it, Yu'er believed it.

She also felt that even if Tian Lin was quite powerful, he really couldn't run to the west in a short period of time to find the Seventh Young Master and kill him.

“So, it is impossible for Aunt Jiu not to understand such a simple truth.

Perhaps, she herself knows that you are innocent. She came to you because she has no way to find out, so she forced you to help her find out. "

After Yu'er finished speaking, Tian Lin nodded and said:

She wants to force me to prove my innocence, and then I will help her find the real murderer or find the Seventh Young Master, and she can achieve her goal without even having to apologize.

But if I can't prove my innocence and she can't find the real murderer, she can kill me to vent her anger. Anyway, I have had conflicts with her son, so she can kill me as a 'memorial' for her son."

Yu Er frowned and said, "If Ninth Auntie really wants to do this, what should Master do?"

"If I escape, it would prove that I am the real murderer, so I can't escape. I had no choice but to fall into her trap and go to Chenxiantang to help her find her son."

Tian Lin looked helpless, as if he had suffered a great injustice.

Because of the disturbance caused by the Ninth Aunt, Tian Lin became somewhat famous in Pingyang City.

After dinner, when these people talked about the disappearance of the Seventh Young Master, they would inevitably talk about Tian Lin, and even more so about the Ninth Aunt who lived in the old house and refused to leave.

The Ninth Aunt practices the Golden Dharma Body, and now she has cultivated the Golden God Technique to the minor success stage.

Besides, she was the concubine of Mr. Tong, the eldest son of the family. Whether in terms of status or strength, she was not comparable to Tian Lin, a "corpse collector".

If the Ninth Aunt really wanted to deal with Tian Lin, then Tian Lin would have to consider himself unlucky.

Compared with the conflict between Aunt Ninth and Tian Lin, everyone talked more about the bounty issued by the Tong family.

The Tong family has now issued a reward. Whoever can find the Seventh Young Master, whether it is a corpse or alive, can get more than seventy high-quality spirit stones.

More than seventy high-quality spirit stones are quite a lot, and it is hard not to be tempted.

So much so that in the next few days, there were many more foundation-building cultivators heading west to look for the whereabouts of the Seventh Young Master than those heading south to capture evil spirits.

This also includes the sword-holding monks of the foundation-building sects, and Tian Lin's sword-holding Yu'er and Cui'er are also among them.

But the person involved, Tian Lin, did not go out for four or five days in a row.

It seemed as if the matter of finding someone had nothing to do with him, and he didn't take the Ninth Aunt's warning to heart at all.

It was not until the sixth day, when the foundation-building monks who were certain that the Seventh Young Master had sunk into the sea, returned to the city or went back to Chenxiantang in the south, that Tian Lin went out.

It took him six days to finally master the Buddha-Devil Freedom Art to a minor level of success.

But this was not enough to make him feel at ease, because if the Ninth Aunt really wanted to pester him, Tian Lin would need to have the ability to kill her and then escape safely or stay safely in Pingyang City.

"I wonder if Elder Yu's badge is useful? I don't know if Tong Yao recognizes Elder Yu's badge." Tian Lin heard that Tong Yao had returned recently and lived in seclusion in a thatched cottage in the country next to Kun Lake.

This time he went out to Kunhu to find Tong Yao.

At noon that day, Tian Lin walked out of the city and gradually approached Kun Lake.

Behind Tian Lin, there was always Granny Tan, holding a sword, following Aunt Jiu.

Granny Tan did not hide her figure and followed Tian Lin blatantly.

Tian Lin knew that she had been spying on him for some time, so he let her follow him.

As they were about to reach Kun Lake, Granny Tan couldn't help but speak:

"Even if you go to the ancestor, the ancestor will not help you. You must know that the blood of the Seventh Young Master is from the Tong family."

Tian Lin smiled when he heard this, and without replying to Granny Tan, he turned around and headed towards Kun Lake.

He did not fly on his sword in the Kun Lake area, for fear of causing any misunderstanding, and was also afraid of being accused of being disrespectful to the Golden Core Master.

After walking for a distance, Tian Lin finally saw Kun Lake.

Compared with the Kun Lake in the fantasy, more than a thousand years have passed. No one knows who built the pavilion on the Kun Lake, and there are many more thatched huts on both sides of the Kun Lake.

Tian Lin's gaze first swept over the fisherman on the lake, and then looked at the girl running towards the pavilion.

The girl stepped on the waves and landed on the lake shore. She looked at Tian Lin and Granny Tan and said:
"I wasn't guarding outside for a while, and you guys broke in?"

Granny Tan was obviously in awe of the girl and quickly bowed and said:
"Please forgive me, cousin. I told this man surnamed Tian not to come in, but he insisted on barging in. He really didn't take my cousin and the ancestor seriously."

The girl frowned and scolded her:
"Shut up, old hag. I know you love to gossip. You have a grudge against this Tian guy, so you want to trick me into killing someone for you.

But the ancestor has already said that the death of the seventh cousin has nothing to do with this surname Tian, and our Tong family does not do things that bully others by taking advantage of their power. "

These words not only stunned Granny Tan, but also surprised Tian Lin.

Without waiting for the two to respond, the girl looked at Tian Lin again and said, "Are you here to ask the ancestor for help? I will tell the first lady about this and ask her to call the ninth concubine back."

The Ninth Aunt is a concubine, while the First Lady is the principal wife.

The eldest lady has more than one son, the Thirteenth Young Master, and among the disciples of this generation of the Tong family, who doesn’t want to enter the Shuiyun Sect and become an outer disciple?

Therefore, there is competition among the children of the Tong family, and the relationship between these ladies and concubines is not harmonious.

Tian Lin felt somewhat relieved at this time. He bowed to the girl and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you for your help."

The girl rolled her eyes at Tian Lin. She still remembered the scene when Tian Lin was boating on the lake naked.

Therefore, she actually didn't have much good feelings towards Tian Lin.

So he waved his hand impatiently and said, "Okay, go away and don't come to Kunhu again."

Tian Lin bowed and left, but Granny Tan on the other side couldn't sit still anymore and couldn't help saying:
"Miss, if we let this boy surnamed Tian go, who among the Huahualangs who join the Tong family in the future will take the master of the Tong family seriously?"

The girl snorted coldly:
“As long as the ancestor is still here, who dares not take the Tong family seriously?
Besides, the fact that Seventh Brother has been snatching Soul Gathering Orbs everywhere has already caused dissatisfaction among the First Lady and several concubines. If he continues to behave like this and delay the important matters of the Shuiyun Sect, how can our Tong Family still gain a foothold in Tianbei County?"

While the girl was scolding Granny Tan, Tian Lin had already left Kun Lake.

After Tian Lin left Kun Lake, he began to think more and more that something was wrong.

Since outsiders are prohibited from entering Kun Lake, why is there a fisherman boating on the lake?

Could it be that this fisherman is from the Tong family, and just like the girl, he has a very close relationship with Tong Yao, so he was allowed to enter?
But when Tian Lin carefully recalled the fisherman's face, he always felt it was particularly familiar.

"Is it Master Zhou?"

Tian Lin got onto the official road and suddenly stopped.

He felt a little bit unbelievable. What happened in the illusion were all things that happened thousands of years ago. Now, after a thousand years, he could actually see the figure of Master Zhou in reality.

Tong Yao who was in the illusion at that time is now an ancestor in the early stage of Golden Core.

And the Master Zhou who sold Patriarch Yaoyue to cross the sea was probably also the Golden Core Patriarch, right?

Thinking that all these "acquaintances" and "old friends" had become Jindan ancestors, Tian Lin inexplicably felt a sense of "unworthiness".

He frowned again and couldn't help asking himself, "How did Master Zhou, a member of the Zhou family, get involved with the Tong family, and why did he appear in Kun Lake?
Others may not know that Kunhu's tomb requires a 'key' to open, but how could Master Zhou not know? "

At this point, Tian Lin became more and more convinced that the Nine-Life Immortal Tomb in Kunhu was a conspiracy.

He didn't know who this conspiracy was targeting, he just decided not to get involved.

A day passed like this, and the "cousin" of Kunhu kept her word. The day after Tian Lin left Kunhu, the eldest lady came with a sword in her arms to ask the ninth concubine to return home.

But Aunt Jiu disagreed. She was sure that her son was dead.

A mother's status is determined by her son. She has been a concubine in the Tong family for so many years, enduring humiliation for so many years, and has devoted all her efforts to her son.

Now that her son is dead, there is not even anyone to be buried with him. How can she be willing to accept this?
