Chapter 217 The Elder's Efforts
At this moment, Tian Lin no longer had any doubts in his heart.
He couldn't help but say, "So it's Senior Brother Zhaixingzi. I heard of his name when I was in Tianbei County, and I even met him once."
What he was thinking was, no wonder Fairy Mei kept chasing Zhaixingzi.
As far as Tian Lin himself knew, not every disciple of the Goddess Sect could own the Goddess Tree.
And the Goddess Tree has never been given to outsiders except the disciples of the Goddess Sect.
Now that Zhaixingzi has the Goddess Tree in his hands, it would be strange if Meixiangu didn't chase after him.
But what confused Tian Lin was how Zhaixingzi got the Goddess Tree from the Goddess Sect.
"Junior Brother Tian has actually met Senior Brother Zhuang?"
After Zhou Jin was surprised, he asked, "After Junior Brother Tian met Senior Brother Zhuang, did you ever receive any gifts from Senior Brother Zhaixingzi?"
Tian Lin thought for a moment and said, "Looking back carefully, I did take advantage of Senior Brother Zhaixingzi."
He shared the spoils with Zhaixingzi and got a ferry boat, a bamboo pole and some copper coins.
Tian Lin didn't know the value of the ferry and the bamboo pole. In fact, in his opinion, the one who really benefited was Zhaixingzi.
After all, if Zhaixingzi had not taken action at that time, he could have obtained the remaining soul of the ferryman, as well as the copper coins, the ferryboat, and the bamboo pole, without having to share the spoils with Zhaixingzi.
It's just that Zhaixingzi didn't know about this. I'm afraid Zhaixingzi would think that Tianlin took advantage of him.
"What, you took advantage of Senior Brother Zhuang?"
After Zhou Jin finished speaking, the other disciples who had been paying attention to the two of them all looked over.
Tian Lin didn't think he had taken advantage of anyone, and what he had just said was just forced humility.
But seeing Zhou Jin's expression was not right, Tian Lin was a little puzzled and asked: "Is there anything wrong with what I did?"
Zhou Jin frowned and thought for a while without saying anything.
Senior Brother Changxue came over at this time and sat down at the seat next to the two of them:
"Junior Brother Tian, you should repay Senior Brother Zhuang's favor as soon as possible while there is still time."
After hearing what Senior Brother Changxue said, Tian Lin became even more confused.
Listen to Senior Brother Changxue say: "You can't take advantage of Senior Brother Zhuang. If you take advantage of him even a penny, he will make you pay it back a hundredfold in the future.
You have taken advantage of him for a hundred cents. If you continue for ten days, he will probably make you pay with your life."
Tian Lin's face darkened, and he asked, "Is this lending at high interest?"
Senior Brother Changxue said: "He is not giving away excessive benefits, but he is practicing the law of cause and effect. His law of cause and effect is very special, and he emphasizes that one retribution is tenfold.
People outside say that Senior Brother Zhaixingzi doesn't like to get involved with other people's karma. This is both true and false.
He does not take advantage of other people's good deeds because he does not want to repay the good results of others. But he likes to leave good deeds for others, and then ask others to repay his "good results" in due time.
Tian Lin still didn't fully understand what Senior Brother Changxue said, but Wang Yanyu came over and said:
"We are all fellow disciples. Junior Brother Tian can ask Elder Xue to tell us the truth. I hope Senior Brother Zhuang can show you some leniency."
Zhou Jin also asked Tian Lin at this time: "Did Senior Brother Zhuang say when he would be back?"
Tian Lin shook his head: "When I returned to the sect, Senior Brother Zhaixingzi had already gone to the Shennv Sect."
After hearing what he said, Senior Brother Changxue shouted:
"He tricked the Goddess Tree of the Goddess Sect's female disciples into coming to our Dao Sect. He still dares to go to the Goddess Sect. Isn't he afraid that the uncles and uncles of the Goddess Sect will cause trouble for him?"
Zhou Jin laughed and said, "Brother Zhuang is practicing the law of cause and effect, so why should he be afraid of trouble? Even if there is a catastrophe, it will be those who have received his kindness who will protect him from it."
Tian Lin's face turned pale. Is there any Taoist method in this world that can let someone bear disaster and misfortune on their behalf?
When I divided the spoils with Zhaixingzi, was it me who took advantage of him, or was it he who took advantage of me?
Is the cause and effect between me and him good or bad?
"No matter what, Senior Brother Zhuang won't be able to come back for a while. Junior Brother Tian, instead of worrying about this, it would be better for you to go to Elder Xue and report the situation as soon as possible."
Because the lunch time was set at one hour, seeing that the Taoist bell was about to ring, Zhou Jin also began to arrange for Bao Jian to prepare the meal.
They chatted for a while and then entered the academy. Only then did Yu'er come forward and hand Tian Lin a handkerchief, and said with some concern: "Master, what should we do about this?"
Tian Lin handed the towel he had used to wipe her mouth back to Yu'er and said, "Senior Brother Zhou and the others are right. We need to consult Elder Xue about this matter and let Elder Xue make the final decision."
Although he had some shadows in his heart, he was not completely panicked.
No matter how powerful Zhaixingzi's Dao is, he is still only in the middle stage of foundation building. Even if he can reach the late stage of foundation building and become an inner sect disciple soon, he is still just a foundation building cultivator.
The Dao of a foundation-building cultivator is powerful, but how powerful can it be?
If it really doesn't work, just kill the Star-Picking Child before good karma turns into bad results.
-
"Among the various Daoist disciplines, sword studies, funeral studies, formation studies, alchemy studies, and talisman making studies are all, without exception, academic disciplines that lead directly to the Great Dao."
On the pulpit, the teaching elder's eyes were so sharp that none of the students below the pulpit dared to be distracted.
Actually, there is nothing wrong with what the teaching elder said, but as someone who teaches these five unorthodox ways, it may sound like he is boasting when he says this.
"For example, funeral studies. I know that in your eyes, this subject is only used to pass the monthly exams, and there is actually nothing good to learn. But have you ever thought about why the cadets on the deck have to learn funeral studies, and why the inner disciples have to learn this unorthodox method?"
Everyone in the field sat upright, no one questioned, and the teaching elder said to himself: "Because only funeral studies can allow you to survive in the secret realm of the Dao Sect. If you don't have funeral studies, how can you survive from the Night Wandering God and the Day Wandering God when you encounter them?"
The teaching elder slapped the podium, startling everyone present. He said, "For cultivators, there should be no taboos in the three realms and six paths, from the sky to the underworld. If you don't learn funeral rites, how can you dominate the Yin and Yang worlds?
From now on, everyone starts crying. "
At the instruction of the elder teacher, the wailing of the Dinggui class became louder than ever before.
But most people were howling. The teaching elder flew into a rage and slapped a fat man.
The fat man's head tilted and he fell to the ground with a thud.
With this slap, the teaching elder not only killed the fat man, but also scared the female cultivator next to the fat man into tears.
The female cultivator cried out "Wow!" The teaching elder nodded in satisfaction and said, "Yes, this is the real way to mourn."
The students in Class Dinggui felt their scalps tingling instantly, and when they met the gaze of the teaching elder, they dared not be careless.
But tears are not something that can come just by thinking about it.
Under the gaze of the teaching elder, a group of people imagined that after their parents died, no one would send them spirit stones.
Thinking of this, some people already had a look of sadness on their faces.
Except for Tian Lin, he really had no idea what to do.
He looked at the fat man's body on the ground, and saw with his own eyes the fat man's soul coming out of the body and then floating out of the academy.
Tian Lin could clearly see the fat man's soul because he had eaten the true eye fruit.
However, Senior Brother Changxue and his companions had strong spiritual awareness and noticed the unusual movements around them.
When they all looked towards the entrance of the academy, the teaching elder said, "Now I will show you the power of Funeral Science. From now on, you will know the benefits of practicing Funeral Science."
After he finished speaking, he beckoned the fat man's body on the ground and placed it on his own podium. He suddenly said, "My good disciple, soul, come back--"
It was fine when the teaching elder spoke normally, but no one expected that his voice would be so unpleasant when he was crying.
All the students in the academy were almost scared out of their wits by his howl.
Fortunately, all the people present were foundation-building cultivators, so they did not fall into the trap of the teaching elder.
At this time, Tian Lin saw the fat man's confused soul appear at the entrance of the academy, and slowly approached the teaching elder amid the elder's crying.
The teaching elder slapped his storage bag, and a soul-gathering bead instantly appeared.
Zhou Jin, who was standing at the podium, was horrified and quickly stood up and said, "Elder, it is not a night-wandering spirit, please don't mess it up."
The teaching elder heard this and said, "How could I not know? I just took the wrong thing."
This is simply a joke. Even a Foundation Establishment cultivator would not be able to take the wrong thing from the storage bag, let alone a Golden Core cultivator?
The teaching elder had obviously caught too many ghosts and had gone a little crazy in exorcising demons.
As soon as he saw the ghost, he started to refine it without saying a word, and for a moment he forgot that the ghost in front of him was created by him.
"Fatty, why don't you wake up quickly? When will you wake up?"
The teaching elder took a hollow bamboo tube and sucked the soul of the fat man in front of him. The soul was instantly sucked into his mouth.
Everyone saw him point the bamboo tube at the fat man's body and spit, and the fat man's soul flew out of the bamboo tube into the fat man's body.
When the teaching elder patted the fat man on the head, the fat man's eyes opened instantly, and he was obviously alive.
The crowd below the platform exclaimed insincerely, and the teaching elder said complacently: "People often say that the dead cannot be resurrected, but is it true that the dead cannot be resurrected?
I just demonstrated the usefulness of mortuary science to you. Do you understand the role of mortuary science now?"
They are all children of aristocratic families, and these aristocratic families have followed the Dao Sect for at least a thousand years.
Who among those present didn't know how effective and powerful funeral science was? Was there any need for the teaching elders to demonstrate it?
But no one could figure out what this teaching elder was thinking. No one knew what had gone wrong with him, and they were all afraid of getting into trouble, so they could only nod their heads and look like they were accepting the lesson.
Only the fat man on the podium wanted to cry but had no tears, his head completely drooped on his neck. At this moment, he could neither die nor live well.
But the teaching elder didn't care about the fat man's life or death. He looked at Tian Lin below and said, "Tian Lin, now you know that funeral science is definitely not a useless subject, right?"
Tian Lin was stunned, not understanding why the teaching elder asked him alone.
Similarly, the students in Class Dinggui also looked at Tian Lin. Many of them suddenly realized something and then looked at Tian Lin in surprise and doubt.
If we say that Zhou Jin made friends with Tian Lin in the beginning, it was because of Ju Yunhai.
So, whose instructions did the teacher follow when he made such a fuss in the academy in order to encourage Tian Lin to attach importance to funeral studies?
Everyone only knows that Tian Lin was from Hwahwarang, but they don’t know who Tian Lin’s master was.
In other words, all the outer disciples at Hulu Peak assumed that their master was Elder Xue.
Therefore, no one thought of Elder Yu at this moment.
Even Tian Lin himself did not think that Elder Yu's disciple was so special. You know, Ju Yunhai knew that he was Elder Yu's disciple.
"I will definitely live up to the elders' hard work and work hard to master funeral science."
The teaching elder stroked his beard and nodded, thinking to himself, "It doesn't matter whether you understand my painstaking efforts or not, but I must make Elder Xue understand my painstaking efforts."
