Chapter 195 Three Ferrymen
Chapter 195 Three Ferrymen
Tian Lin was still meditating when the boats on the sea were rowing towards the shore.
He held a cold fragrant leaf in his mouth, with precious light and demonic energy lingering around his body.
After eating four or five cold fragrance leaves, not only those foundation-building monks on duty during the day went ashore, but even those foundation-building monks on duty at night had boarded the boat.
Sister Yu'er looked at Tian Lin with worry, and only breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Tian Lin open his eyes.
Cui'er was fine, but Yu'er was 90% sure that Tian Lin was Tian Shuang.
Because in the entire Pingyang City, only Tian Shuang would be interested in Master Long Dan's "Buddha Demon Pill".
But since Tian Lin wanted to change his appearance, she certainly didn't dare to reveal Tian Lin's secret, so she just did her duty as the sword holder and pretended not to notice.
"Master Tian, we should set off now. If we are late, I am afraid that Mei Xiangu will come to question us."
When Yu'er finished speaking, Tian Lin had already stood up. He glanced at the group of foundation-building monks on the shore and found that three people were missing among those on daytime duty.
Tian Lin was not in a hurry to go to the sea, and asked one of the foundation-building monks: "It is logically more dangerous to be on duty at night than during the day, but I see that fellow Taoist and others seem to be in a very bad state, what's going on?"
Who is in the mood to talk at this time?
But who doesn’t know that Tian Lin escaped from the ferryman?
Everyone guessed that he was quite powerful and suspected that he was the Star Picker, so when Tian Lin questioned them, these people did not dare to neglect him.
One of the fat men covered the wound on his shoulder and said:
"Fellow Daoist Tian, you may not know that it was fine during the day, but as night fell, a ferryman suddenly appeared.
The wound on my shoulder was caused by the ferryman."
Someone kindly reminded Tian Lin immediately:
"Fellow Daoist Tian, you have to be careful this time. Tonight may be even more unsafe than last night. If you are unlucky, you may encounter one or two ferrymen."
Tian Lin bowed to express his gratitude and took Yu'er and her sister on board.
As Yu'er rowed the boat, she couldn't help but say to Tian Lin worriedly:
"Fellow Daoist, you have experience in leading away the ferryman. I'm afraid that Mei Xiangu will ask you to lead away the ferryman again."
"Yes, honest people always suffer losses."
What Tian Lin held in his hand were the soul-gathering beads given to him by Rong Gongsheng. He guessed that these soul-gathering beads and the high-quality spirit stones in the package were collected by Rong Gongsheng and others.
Ten soul-gathering beads filled with residual souls can also be exchanged for ten high-quality spirit stones.
That is to say, from last night to the early morning, in addition to the soul-gathering beads he earned himself, Tian Lin also earned about ten high-quality spirit stones from Rong Gongfeng.
If this happens one or two more times, it will be enough to collect the spirit stones needed to open the Northern Wilderness Teleportation Array.
Just as Yu'er said, since Tian Lin hadn't appeared for a long time, Mei Xiangu had sent her sword-bearing angel to capture him.
The man with the sword always acted bossy towards others, even when facing Tong Shisan, he behaved extremely arrogantly.
But when facing Tian Lin, she was a little more polite, but her voice was still cold:
"Mr. Tian, you should hurry to the battle flag location as soon as possible. I'm afraid the fairy lady will get angry if you wait too long."
Tian Lin stood at the bow, bowed and said to the man holding the sword, "Please go ahead and tell the fairy Tian that I will be here soon."
The man holding the sword said no more nonsense. He waved his sleeves and disappeared into the night sky on the flying sword.
Yu'er increased the speed of rowing, and a quarter of an hour later, they finally saw Mei Xiangu's big ship on the sea.
Mei Xiangu's large ships were lined up in a row, and the distance between the ships was obviously widened, because there were casualties.
When Tian Lin arrived at the scene, the monks were in the middle of a chaotic battle with the Night Wandering God.
Mei Xiangu did not let Tian Lin row the boat closer, but let her take Tian Lin with her sword to an empty boat with a battle flag planted on it.
There was someone on that empty ship, but in less than an hour, the foundation-building cultivator had died.
Tian Lin stood at the bow, facing countless wandering souls, and practiced the Buddha and Demon Freedom Technique.
The monks who were originally engaged in the chaotic battle were secretly resentful of Tian Lin, thinking that because of Tian Lin's lateness, the wandering souls they had to bear were more numerous and more powerful than last night.
But soon, they saw a huge Buddha suddenly rising from the sea in the direction of Tian Lin.
When the ten-meter-tall Buddha, covered with golden light, rose from the sea, sea water flowed down from its head, forming a short waterfall.
"what is that?"
Many people were stunned, even Mei Xiangu on the boat narrowed her eyes.
"This is the Buddha Demon Freedom Art! It's Fellow Daoist Tian, he is practicing the Buddha Demon Freedom Art!"
Some people guessed that this golden Buddha was a product of divine power and not a magic weapon.
“But isn’t Fellow Daoist Tian’s Buddha and Demon Freedom Art at the minor success stage? Even if the Buddha and Demon Freedom Art is a top-grade magical power, how can a minor success stage have such a level of cultivation?”
Everyone looked at the ten-foot-tall Buddha statue on the sea in shock.
The Buddha closed his eyes and suddenly opened his mouth:
"Buddha!"
With this one-word motto, the many monks on the sea only saw the wandering souls on the ship tremble. The wandering souls with weaker strength became residual souls in an instant.
"What a power!"
Everyone on the boat gasped and for a moment forgot to use the soul-gathering beads to collect the remaining souls.
And Tian Lin, who was performing the Buddha and Demon Freedom Art, had never expected that the Buddha and Demon Freedom Art in its advanced stage would be so powerful.
"sound!"
Another word of mantra. After Tian Lin spoke, the golden Buddha also spoke.
If only the wandering souls felt the threat at first, then the Qigong practitioners on the ship now vomited blood after hearing this one-word motto.
"cross!"
Tian Lin spoke again, and many cultivators in the early stage of foundation building were struck by lightning. Above the sea, the sea water exploded in large quantities, and the wandering souls within a mile radius were instantly scattered.
"enough!"
Among the people present, only Mei Xiangu stood steadily on the bow of the boat.
On the other hand, Tian Lin, who was performing the Buddha and Demon Freedom Technique, suffered the backlash and there was a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth.
“What a great Buddha and Demon Freedom Technique! But with the way you fight, I’m afraid that before the wandering souls come up, all the foundation-building and Qi-refining cultivators here will be killed.”
After Mei Xiangu finished speaking, she said to Bao Jian beside her, "Distribute the elixir that fat guy made, and let the people present rest for half an hour."
After Mei Xiangu finished speaking, she suddenly picked up the big flag from last night and flew it into the sky.
Because of the fields and forests, there were no traces of wandering souls within a mile of the boat.
Everyone only saw Mei Xiangu disappearing on the sea, and in the deep sea, the sound of thunder that had sounded last night was heard.
On the boat, Yu'er and Cui'er were not injured.
The two of them were very close to Tian Lin, but were not hurt by the 'Golden Buddha'.
At this time, Tian Lin dispersed the golden Buddha. Yu'er and Cui'er took advantage of the fact that the foundation-building monks, sword bearers, and sword slaves on other boats were injured and unable to collect the remaining souls, and jumped off the boat and began to collect them frantically.
Tian Lin wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, picked up the gourd and took two gulps of spiritual liquid, then dived into the sea.
As usual, he absorbed the soul-replenishing powder in the sea. About a quarter of an hour later, he vaguely heard the cries of Yu'er and Cui'er coming from above his head.
Tian Lin floated up and soon appeared on the sea. Yu Er pointed to the distance and said, "Master, look!"
Tian Lin climbed onto the boat, wiped the water stains off his face, and looked coldly at the three lanterns in the distance.
"Where's Mei Xiangu? Hasn't she come back yet?"
After Tian Lin asked this question, he heard Mei Xiangu holding the sword anxiously and said, "My daughter hasn't come back yet. Please, Master Tian, think of a way to go and see my daughter."
The others also talked at once, and one of them said:
"Mei Xiangu is very powerful, so I think she will be fine. The most urgent task is to get rid of the three ferrymen.
Perhaps Fellow Daoist Tian will have to use his old tricks again to lure them away."
After the monk finished speaking, Tian Lin laughed.
Tian Lin respected his own status, so he did not scold the monk for being shameless.
But Cui'er had a bad temper, and although she was not Tian Lin's sword holder, she did the work of holding a sword.
This is the time for the servants to speak up.
"You all know that it was Master Tian Dao who risked his life to lure the ferryman away yesterday. Now that the ferryman is here, it's time for someone else to take the risk."
The monk felt offended, but Tian Lin did not yell at Cui'er to shut up, obviously agreeing with what Cui'er said.
This person was afraid of Tian Lin's strength, so he could only remain silent.
"In fact, the most important thing is that as long as you have copper coins, no matter what kind of cultivator you are or what your identity is, you can lure the ferryman away."
Gao He stood up and said, "In this case, why not let Jian Nu and Bao Jian die instead?"
As soon as he said this, Xiang'er behind him turned pale.
Tian Lin asked Gao He, "Brother Gao, what you said is true, but I have used up all the copper coins that Mei Xiangu gave me last night. Where do I get the copper coins to lure away the three ferrymen?"
Everyone looked at Mei Xiangu's sword. She thought for a moment and took out ten copper coins from her storage bag:
"This is what the girl gave me - but this copper coin cannot be bought with spirit stones. You want the copper coin, why should I give it to you?"
Someone said, "Since you are the Fairy Lady's sword bearer, you should guard the Shenxian Pond for her and make plans for the safety of the people in Pingyang City."
Bao Jian didn't buy it at all and sneered:
"The lives of the people in Pingyang City have nothing to do with my daughter. My daughter came here to guard the Shenxian Pond only to absorb nutrients for the Goddess Tree."
"I think nothing will happen to Mei Xiangu, so you don't have to worry too much, young lady."
Tian Lin's words seemed more convincing, so he held the sword and said:
"Okay, I'll give you the copper coins. But Fellow Daoist Tian, you have to stay here. If my girl doesn't come back, I want you to take me to find her."
Since last night, she always suspected that Tian Lin was Zhaixingzi.
Zhaixingzi is a member of the Wendao Sect, who are good at divination.
If Tian Lin was a star picker, he would definitely be able to predict the movements and safety of her girl.
"Okay, if you can't wait for Mei Xiangu, I will take you to find your daughter."
After Tian Lin made his promise, the man with the sword handed the copper coin in his hand to Gao He.
Gao He distributed the copper coins to several sword bearers and sword slaves from other families.
Those sword-holding men and sword slaves had sad faces, but they couldn't refuse.
After all, their identities as sword bearers and sword slaves meant they were destined to die for their masters.
After the three servants took the copper coins and led the three ferries away, everyone on the boats finally breathed a sigh of relief.
But they didn't have to be happy for long. In less than a quarter of an hour, the three ferries came back.
