Chapter 188 Bodhisattva Heart
Chapter 188 Bodhisattva Heart
"You are not a star picker!"
As the woman spoke, water was still dripping from her toes that were exposed over the side of the boat.
Apparently, she was treading on a boat on water.
"Of course I'm not the Star Picker. Are you, Excellency?"
"That Night Walker just now was too weak. If it was a Star Picker, it wouldn't be so embarrassed, and it wouldn't be dragged so deep into the water."
She was talking to herself, watching Tian Lin board the small boat opposite the big ship, and sneered:
"More importantly, you are indeed only at the initial stage of foundation building. I can't hide this from you. Therefore, you can't be Zhai Xingzi."
After hearing her nonsense, Tian Lin, who was on the boat, simply said:
"What the girl said is right. I am indeed not Zhaixingzi, and I have never pretended to be Zhaixingzi. So Tian is very confused and doesn't know why the girl came to me."
Tian Lin had questions in his mind, but Tong Shisan's figure appeared in his mind.
Obviously, the woman on the opposite ship had no interest in explaining to Tian Lin.
A smile appeared on her lips, and she pulled her smooth right leg back from the side of the boat, and said softly: "You keep calling me girl, and you keep calling me girl. You are really disrespectful."
After she finished speaking, her smile suddenly turned cold. She gently stroked the plum blossom mark between her eyebrows with her right hand, and pulled out seven plum blossom petals with spiritual fluctuations from the painted plum blossom mark.
Tian Lin, who was on the boat, felt a sinking feeling in his heart and subconsciously began to practice the Buddha and Demon Freedom Technique.
But the seven plum petals in the woman's hand were not thrown at Tian Lin, but at the wandering evil spirits around Tian Lin.
Seven plum blossoms, wherever they pass, groups of wandering evil spirits will be scattered.
After the petals flew about seven or eight feet away, they exploded automatically.
There was a loud roar, and seven waves suddenly exploded seven feet away from Tian Lin.
The waves flew up to a height of four or five feet, and slammed down on Tian Lin's small boat, as well as on the large ship where the woman was.
Tian Lin's small boat was shaken by the waves, but the big ship did not move at all.
On the large and small boats, Tian Lin and the woman had already protected their bodies with their internal energy when the waves hit them, so they were not wet at all.
The only person who had fainted at some point was Bao Jian, who was slowly waking up as he was washed by the sea water.
"Forget it this time, but remember to call me sister next time!"
After the woman finished speaking, she lifted the hem of her white slit skirt and disappeared onto the sea by stepping on the water.
Tian Lin frowned slightly as he watched the woman disappear.
Tian Lin had some vague guesses about the woman's identity, but he was not sure.
The other party suddenly ran over, as if to confirm whether he was the Star Picker.
"It's amazing!"
Tian Lin thought so in his mind and took out the soul-gathering bead from his storage bag. He absorbed all the residual souls that had not yet dissipated on the sea into the soul-gathering bead.
At this time, the small soul-gathering bead seemed to be blown up by the mist inside, and was obviously slightly larger than at the beginning.
Tian Lin put the beads that froze his hands back into his storage bag and asked the man holding the sword on the boat, "Can you row back to shore now?"
The man holding the sword quickly stood up and said, "Master Tian, please get on the boat. I will take you back to the shore right away."
Tian Lin did not refuse. He took his small wooden boat and went to the bow of the big ship. While rowing with the sword in his arms, Tian Lin asked her:
"When did the fairy lady come just now? Have you seen her?"
The man holding the sword said quickly, "After Master Tian fell into the water, I was already hurt by the Night Wandering Spirit and passed out. And I have no idea when that fairy lady came just now."
Tian Lin stopped asking questions and focused on dealing with the wandering souls approaching on the sea.
In just half an hour, the woman rowed to the near sea.
Tian Lin finally saw the worried Gao He couple, as well as Rong Gongfeng on the small wooden boat in this crowded place.
When Gao He and his wife saw Tian Lin appear, they immediately showed joy on their faces.
Rong Gongfeng bowed and said to Tian Lin with a look of shame on his face:
"Fellow Daoist Tian, you care about the lives of ants. You really have the heart of a bodhisattva. I am ashamed. If I had known that you were so powerful, I would not have to run away."
Tian Lin smiled and looked at Gao He and his wife.
Gao He's face turned a little red. He usually called himself the big brother - but this big brother who shared life and death with him ran away when he encountered danger. How could he be like a big brother?
"I'm glad you're back, second brother. Your sister-in-law and I are about to bring people to rescue you."
Gao He's face returned to normal in an instant. He walked forward and held Tian Lin's hand, looking concerned.
Without waiting for Tian Lin to speak, he seemed a little angry and said:
"I'm not telling you as your eldest brother. No matter how eager you are to serve the public, you shouldn't put yourself in danger. If something happens to you, won't I, as your eldest brother, be ashamed for the rest of my life?"
Tian Lin was dumbfounded for a moment. After what Gao He said, it seemed that he should be the one to apologize?
"Brother Gao is right. I was just too excited and overconfident. Fortunately, the Night Wanderer was not very strong."
"It's all this bitch's fault. If it weren't for her, why would you take this risk, Fellow Daoist Tian?"
Rong Gongfeng, who was holding a sword, knelt down immediately. Tian Lin stopped Rong Gongfeng who was about to attack him and said, "It was Tian's own idea to take the risk. It has nothing to do with her. Rong Gongfeng doesn't need to vent his anger on her."
Tian Lin didn't want to dwell on this matter. He looked at the sky, then at the people holding torches, and simply said:
"It's probably the second watch now. Brother Gao and Rong Gongsheng plan to continue sailing or go home and rest first?"
Rong Gongsheng looked at Gao He, who said with lingering fear:
“Based on my experience of exorcising evil spirits in Chenxiantang many times, I’m afraid that the distant sea tonight is no longer suitable for someone like me who is in the early stage of foundation building to stay.
For safety reasons, I think I should go back and draw more talismans and wait a day or two before making a decision."
Cai Shu also said to Tian Lin: "Uncle, listen to your elder brother. You just killed a night wandering spirit. Now is the time to rest."
"it is good!"
Tian Lin simply said, "Then Brother Gao and his wife will go back first. I will meditate here to recover my energy and will not join you."
Seeing this, Gao He and his wife had no choice but to leave some spiritual rice and spiritual meat for Tian Lin after they got ashore.
Rong Gongfeng's friendship with Tian Lin was not deep enough. He wanted to get closer to Tian Lin, but finally chose to give up.
However, although Rong Gongfeng took his own sword away, he left the stove he used to heat food and cook to Tian Lin.
Not to mention the residual souls that Tian Lin harvested that night, just the stove that Rong offered to him, and the spiritual rice and meat that Gao He and his wife left for him, was also a considerable amount of spiritual stones.
It's a pity that among the spiritual rice and spiritual meat, the spiritual rice can't be sold for much money, and the spiritual meat is not the "medicine" that Tian Lin needs. Also, because it is the leftovers after eating, it is not easy to resell it.
He soon saw Yu'er and Cui'er who were setting up stalls. Seeing Tian Lin waving at them in front of the tea shop, the two girls hurriedly put the goods into their storage bags and ran towards Tian Lin.
Yu'er thought Tian Lin was asking her for spirit stones, so she quickly put the spirit stones she had exchanged on the table.
Tian Lin glanced at the pile of low-grade spirit stones on the table and estimated that there were more than forty of them.
He put all the low-grade spirit stones into the storage bag, pushed the spirit meat in front of the two women, and only ate the water spirit rice himself.
Spirit meat is much more precious than spirit rice. Yu'er and Cui'er can only eat one or two pieces during the Tong family's Spring Festival every year.
Although what Tian Lin pushed to them were leftovers, it was enough to flatter the two of them.
After all, when the Tong family celebrated festivals, the meat and spirits they ate were the leftovers from the masters and young ladies of the Tong family.
"This furnace is probably worth dozens of mid-grade spirit stones, right?"
Tian Lin asked, and Yu'er hurriedly asked, "Does Master Tian want to sell it?"
Tian Lin shook his head. Rong Gongfeng said that this thing was lent to him, but in fact it was a gift to him.
But how could Tian Lin sell this thing so quickly?
He just wanted to ascertain the price of the furnace and see how much money Rong Gongfeng had spent to curry favor with him.
"This furnace also requires a high-quality spirit stone to be exchanged for - it's just that it's expensive and not very useful, so it's not easy to sell."
Tian Lin nodded and said, "Yes, this thing is actually a small pot. Its value lies in its ability to store things. It can be called an ordinary pot, but it can barely be considered a magic weapon for storing things.
But if it is a storage device, it can only hold leftovers."
Tian Lin finished the rice in his hand and wanted to ask himself if he had become a celebrity in Chenxiantang.
Ever since Tong Shisan said "I understand", some people looked at him with fawning and fear.
This time when he came back after killing the Night Wanderer, many people in Chenxiantang looked as if they 'got it' when they spied on him.
Tian Lin remembered that the barefoot woman had asked him if he was the Star Picker. Tian Lin guessed that these people might have mistaken him for the Star Picker.
But this is hard to explain, because even if you explain it, others may not believe it.
Besides, apart from the barefoot woman who asked him directly, no one else asked him in front of him if he was Zhaixingzi.
At this time, he ran out and said that he was not Zhaixingzi. Isn't this just trying to cover up the truth?
"Does the master have anything else to ask?"
Seeing that Tian Lin hesitated to speak, Yu'er couldn't help but ask.
Tian Lin thought about it and decided to ask privately when he had time to return to the city.
He waved his hand to let the Yu'er sisters take the dishes away, then he left the tea shop, found a secluded place, brewed tea for himself and practiced the Golden God Technique.
The 'Golden God Pill' tastes bitter and is extremely difficult to swallow.
Tian Lin, who built his foundation with the five elements, could easily digest the Golden God Pill because of the five elements' true qi.
He meditated all night and did not open his eyes until dawn.
At this time, Tian Lin was practicing the Golden God Technique, and his fingers seemed to be covered with a layer of gold.
Tian Lin remembered the Ninth Aunt's Golden God Technique, and now he had acquired some of the Ninth Aunt's methods.
"The Golden God Technique can make a person's body indestructible, this magical power is not bad at all—
Unfortunately, my own physical strength is already pretty good. So practicing this Golden God Technique to the minor success stage does not improve my strength that much.”
