Chapter 194 Rong Gongfeng's Compensation
Chapter 194 Rong Gongfeng's Compensation
Because Mei Xiangu led people to block the Chenxiantang near the distant sea, there were only a few wandering souls floating in the Chenxiantang near the sea.
These wandering souls posed no threat to Tian Lin, and he did not encounter any obstacles until he returned to the shore of Chenxiantang.
At this time, there were a lot of people gathered on the coast, all of them were foundation-building monks who had been "stationed" at Chenxiantang from last night to the early morning.
In addition, Tian Lin also saw many people in mourning and crying along the coast.
As soon as Tian Lin got ashore, he saw Cui'er arguing with Master Long Dan's sword-holding Xiang'er, both of them cursing at each other.
It was Yu'er, who was behind the two of them, who first discovered Tian Lin.
As soon as Yu'er saw Tian Lin, she ran over with her skirt lifted up and said, "Master, I knew you would come back."
Tian Lin was somewhat surprised to see that she looked like she was about to cry.
Cui'er and Xiang'er, who were cursing not far away, also saw Tian Lin at this time.
Not only the three of them, but there were also many sword-wielding men and sword slaves on the shore.
When these people saw Tian Lin, they were as if they had seen a ghost. Many of them turned around and ran towards the teahouse.
Tian Lin frowned and asked Yu'er, "Were you bullied?"
Cui Er came forward and said to Tian Lin, "Master Tian, we didn't do our job well, and all your soul-gathering beads have been taken away by Rong Gongfeng and his men."
From last night to the early morning, Tian Lin was the one killing evil spirits, while Cui'er was responsible for collecting the remaining souls.
Because the battles were so frequent and intense, Tian Lin didn't count how many residual souls he had collected. But according to his guess, there were at least five or six.
The residual souls of five or six soul-gathering beads are no small number.
Tian Lin asked Cui Er, "Besides Rong Gongsheng who stole your Soul Gathering Pearl, who else was there? Where is my sworn brother?"
When mentioning Gao He, Cui Er showed disdain on her face:
"He is not as loyal as us slaves - he and his wife did not try to rob us, but they also did not intend to seek justice for us. But Master Long Dan is arguing with those people in the teahouse right now."
When Cui'er mentioned Master Long Dan, Tian Lin saw Master Long Dan and many foundation-building cultivators walking out of the tea shop.
Obviously, those sword-wielding men who ran into the teahouse, after seeing Tian Lin, went into the teahouse to inform their masters.
At first, these people didn't believe that Tian Lin could come back alive, so when they left the teahouse and saw the living Tian Lin, they were still surprised.
Among these people, Master Long Dan looked the happiest when he saw Tian Lin.
He laughed loudly and said, "I said that good people will be rewarded. How could you die, Brother Tian?"
Good people are rewarded? Not necessarily.
Tian Lin walked forward and bowed to Master Long Dan, while looking at the cultivators behind Master Long Dan, and finally looked at Rong Gongsheng who was hiding in the crowd and said:
"Fellow Daoist Rong, I heard someone say that you stole my Soul Gathering Pearl. How do you explain this?"
Rong Gongfeng knew he couldn't escape, so he stood up and pointed at Cui'er and her sister and scolded them, "These two maids are spreading rumors, Taoist Tian, don't believe their nonsense;
The reason I took your Soul Gathering Pearl is that I don't want these two maids to use your Soul Gathering Pearl to please their new master. Otherwise, when you come back, you will be left with nothing."
Tian Lin didn't know where the saying that he had lost everything came from. After sneering, Tian Lin looked at Rong Gongfeng:
"Fellow Daoist Rong, do you think Tian is easy to please?"
He ignored Rong Gongsheng's ugly expression and said, "If I remember correctly, you still owe me a favor, right? Are you repaying me by stealing my Soul Gathering Pearl?"
Rong Gongsheng still didn't say anything, but someone next to him stood up and bowed to Tian Lin and said, "Fellow Daoist Tian, this matter may not be what you think."
"Is he the only ungrateful person?"
Tian Lin narrowed his eyes and glanced at the foundation-building cultivators present, his tone somewhat grim:
"I risked my life to lure the ferryman away, but the only one who benefited was Rong Gongsheng?
Or does it mean that your lives are lives, but Tian’s life is not a life? "
Some of these people were angry, while others lowered their heads in shame.
At this time, Master Long Dan stood up and pointed at them and said, "Why don't you hand over Fellow Daoist Tian's Soul Gathering Pearl?
Mei wants me to make pills for you. You must be blinding her heart. What good can I get from feeding good pills to you ungrateful wolves? "
Those people were afraid of Tian Lin, but not of Master Long Dan. They all glared at Master Long Dan.
Several of the foundation-building monks took out soul-gathering beads from their storage bags and handed them to Rong Gongsheng.
At this time, Rong Gongsheng stepped forward and handed the soul-gathering bead to Tian Lin.
Tian Lin looked at the six soul-gathering beads in Rong Gongsheng's hand, but waved his hand to stop Yu'er who was going forward to take the soul-gathering beads.
"It's just a Soul Gathering Orb. What Tian wants now is not the Soul Gathering Orb, but an explanation!"
After a trip out to sea, he made a fortune following the ferryman.
Although six soul-gathering beads are a lot, compared with the dozen or so soul-gathering beads the size of eggs in Tian Lin's hand, Tian Lin no longer thinks highly of these quail-sized soul-gathering beads.
He turned and left. Cui'er snorted arrogantly in front of the monks, then pulled her sister and followed Tian Lin.
At this time, Tian Lin pulled Master Long Dan and said intimately:
"It is thanks to you, Fellow Daoist Long, that you are a decent person. It is also thanks to you that Cui'er and her sister were not bullied too much." Master Long was a little embarrassed by Tian Lin's praise. He touched the back of his head and said embarrassedly:
"Friend Tian, you helped me before, so I knew you were different from this group of people. Besides, I really can't stand their character, and I won't feel happy if I don't scold them."
Master Long Dan's alchemy room was the former Hebo Site, right next to the brothel in Chenxiantang.
Now this place has become the residence of Master Long Dan.
Tian Lin entered Master Long's alchemy room and saw an alchemy furnace with pills piled up next to it.
Master Long Dan was not good at speaking, but he did not want to show his weakness, so he pointed to the baskets of medicine beside him and said:
"These pills are all for replenishing true energy and spiritual consciousness."
After saying this, he said to Xiang'er, "I'll pack a few bottles of pills for Fellow Daoist Tian and let him take them back."
Tian Lin walked to another basket of pills casually placed on the ground and picked up one at random: "What is this? I see that Fellow Daoist Long has refined quite a few."
Master Long Dan looked a little excited, and stepped forward and said, "These are Buddha Demon Pills. Fellow Daoist Tian, you know the Buddha Demon Freedom Skill, do you want to try it?"
Tian Lin frowned slightly, put the "Buddha Demon Pill" to his nose and sniffed it, then said:
"I've also eaten Buddha Demon Pills, but the smell seems to be different from this pill."
Master Long Dan asked Tian Lin: "What does the pill that Fellow Daoist Tian took taste like?"
Tian Lin carefully recalled his reaction and taste after taking the pill. After listening to his description, Master Long Dan began to think:
"Could it be that I'm missing the herb of stagnation in my recipe?"
Tian Lin asked Master Long Dan, "How much does this elixir cost, Daoist friend? I can take it back and try it for a while."
This pill is originally scrap and cannot be sold at all.
Besides, Master Long Dan thought he had a good relationship with Tian Lin, so he waved his hand and said, "Fellow Daoist Tian, if you like these pills, just take them back. What are you talking about spirit stones?"
"Then it would be disrespectful for Tian to refuse."
Tian Lin glanced at Yu'er, and Yu'er went up and put the large basket of pills into her storage bag.
This kind of behavior of taking advantage of others is best done by the people below - this is a quality that Tian Lin learned from Gao He and others during his time in Pingyang City.
The two chatted for a few more sentences. Tian Lin still needed to meditate and practice, so he didn't stay in the alchemy room for long.
When he went out, just as he expected, Rong Gongsheng had been waiting for a long time in the distance outside the alchemy room.
As soon as he saw Tian Lin appear, Rong Gongfeng came up to him with a smile.
Behind Rong Gongfeng are Gao He and his wife.
Tian Lin glanced at the three of them, snorted coldly, and turned away with Yu'er and her sisters.
Rong Gongsheng strode quickly and shouted behind Tian Lin: "Fellow Daoist Tian, wait a minute. I am here to apologize to you, brother."
Tian Lin stopped, turned his head and looked at Rong Gongfeng and said, "I thought we were all friends, so I took the risk and went alone to lure the ferryman away.
But how did Brother Rong repay me? He tried to divide up my Soul Gathering Pearl while I was away."
"This is a misunderstanding, Fellow Daoist Tian. This is absolutely a misunderstanding."
While speaking, Rong Gongsheng took out a cloth bag and handed it to Tian Lin.
Because it is not wrapped in a storage bag, the cloth bag cannot block Tian Lin's spiritual sense from spying.
Tian Lin only took a glance and saw clearly that in addition to the ten soul-gathering beads, there were also four top-grade spirit stones in the cloth bag.
"Perhaps it is true as Rong Gongsheng said, this is a misunderstanding."
Tian Lin nodded at Yu'er, and after Yu'er received the package, he took the initiative to change the awkward topic and talked about his experience last night.
Rong Gongsheng and his companions' explanation to Tian Lin was the same as that of Mei Xiangu. They did not quite believe that Tian Lin was saved after meeting a Jindan cultivator.
They suspected that Tian Lin was hiding his abilities, and therefore suspected that Tian Lin's cultivation was probably far beyond the initial stage of foundation building.
But they couldn't question too much and could only nod to show that they believed what Tian Lin said.
As evening approached, Rong Gongfeng took the initiative to take Gao He to say goodbye and prepare to go to Chenxiantang again later.
Tian Lin didn't waste any more time. He drank the Five Elements Mist Hidden Tea that Cui'er gave him and began to meditate and practice.
They waited until it was completely dark before they saw rows of ships appearing on the sea.
The people on these boats are all monks stationed in Chenxiantang during the day.
The return of these people means that Tian Lin and others have to change their defense again.
According to Mei Xiangu, the foundation-building cultivators who are currently on 'night duty' will be able to be on 'day duty' in half a month.
From then on, the night shift and the day shift were rotated every half a month to maintain relative fairness.
But according to Tian Lin's guess, in half a month, the sword energy at the bottom of Chenxiantang would probably overflow to the surface of the sea, and by that time, it might not be possible to sail on Chenxiantang anymore.
That is to say, half a month later, the foundation-building cultivators might not be able to go to Chenxiantang to catch evil spirits.
At that time, even if we want to use the soul-gathering beads to collect the residual souls, I'm afraid we can only collect the residual souls on the coast of Chenxiantang.
