Chapter 251: Komeito
Chapter 251: Komeito
After Old Man Ran left, he didn't come back until very late with a frown on his face.
He was holding a food box in his hand, and he placed it on the table, apologizing, "The village has just been built, so we don't have any good wine or good food to offer. Please forgive me, Fellow Daoist Tian."
Tian Lin waved his hand and said, "You don't have to be polite, Mr. Ran. I am not a person who is particular about etiquette."
In fact, at this time, how could the villagers have the mood to wash pots and cook?
Old Man Ran had been gone for such a long time that it was obvious that he did not have a very pleasant conversation with the villagers.
At this moment, the sound of night watchmen outside was heard from inside the temple.
Old man Ran took out three incense sticks from his sleeve, went outside the door and inserted the incense at the door, then closed the door and returned to the house.
He sighed and said, "If I had known that I would encounter such a fate when I came to Wuliang Mountain, I would never have come here."
Tian Lin advised him, "Why worry, Fellow Daoist Ran? It will take at least several dozen or hundreds of years for the evil god to fully revive. During this time, there is no telling when a Nascent Soul expert will emerge in Huilong Village."
Old Man Ran's eyes suddenly lit up and he grabbed Tian Lin's hand.
But when Tian Lin looked at him in confusion, his open mouth suddenly closed again, and he did not say what he was thinking.
Seeing him seeming to want to say something but not being able to, Tian Lin couldn't help but ask, "What do you want to say, Fellow Daoist Ran?"
Old Man Ran said, "Fellow Daoist Tian just said that within a few dozen or hundreds of years, if a Yuanying strongman emerges from Huilong Village, the situation will be resolved. I know that Huilong Village does not have such talent and opportunities, but what about you, Fellow Daoist Tian?"
Tian Lin shook his head decisively and said, "Fellow Daoist Ran, you are joking. I am only a disciple of Class B now, and I am still a long way from reaching the middle stage of foundation building.
How dare I hope to reach the Nascent Soul stage? You think too highly of me. "
The reason why Old Man Ran hesitated to speak just now was because he also felt that it was unlikely that Tian Lin could reach the Nascent Soul stage.
But he couldn't say that, so he said:
"Fellow Daoist Tian is wrong. You were able to advance from Class D to Class B in such a short period of time. This shows your talent. With time, you may be able to reach the Nascent Soul stage."
Old Man Ran had no idea about Class D, Class C, or Class B. The only thing he knew clearly was that Zhou Jin was only a student in Class C.
Who is Zhou Jin? Zhou Jin is a second-generation miner.
A second-generation miner like Zhou Jin was able to enter the Daodao Sect, which shows that he must have good talent.
But such a rich and talented person is still a student in Class C, which shows that Tian Lin is extremely talented.
Old Man Ran didn't believe that Tian Lin could reach the Nascent Soul stage, but he felt that Tian Lin should be able to enter the Golden Core stage with certainty.
The ordinary Jindan realm is naturally nothing, but those who have reached the Jindan realm in the Taoist Sect will generally become teaching elders.
By that time, relying on his status as the elder of the Taoist sect, Tian Lin would definitely know many Yuanying masters.
If Tian Lincoln helps, Huilong Village may not be hopeless.
The more Old Man Ran thought about it, the more excited he became, and his depressed mood disappeared.
He stood up, bent his legs and was about to kneel down to Tian Lin.
But Tian Lin reacted quickly. He grabbed his shoulders and tried to persuade him not to do so.
But a burst of screams instantly broke the peace of the village.
Old Man Ran's face changed, he stood up and looked out the window and said, "That's Ran Gou'er's house."
Tian Lin didn’t know who Ran Gou’er’s family was, but he knew that something must have happened in the village.
He patted Old Man Ran on the shoulder and pointed to the figure at the entrance of the village in the distance.
The two of them didn't need to use their spiritual sense to spy. In the dark, they could still see a figure with slightly stiff limbs running back and forth in the village under the starlight. Old Man Ran's face changed, and he quickly held his breath and even stopped his heartbeat.
Not only did he see the intestines and blood that fell in the village as they shuttled back and forth, Tian Lin also saw it clearly.
In addition, Tian Lin also used his spiritual sense to spy that the ignition point of the peace incense stick that Old Man Ran had previously lit at the door was no longer flat.
Tian Lin now has a certain understanding of the "Twenty-Four Incense Charts" of funeral studies. He recognized that when Old Man Ran entered the room, the "peace incense" inserted at the door changed from three equal-length sticks to two equal-length sticks on the left, and the one on the far right became shorter.
As a result, the peace incense turned into the death incense, which was a sign of great misfortune.
Wasn't the sedan locked up properly? Wasn't the villagers' blood spared? Why did the zombies come out again?
Tian Lin was confused, but this was not the time to ask questions.
He flicked his sleeves, extinguished all the oil lamps on the table, and also imitated Old Man Ran in holding his breath.
But even so, a figure flashed in the window.
I saw a corpse in a Taoist robe, with his eyes wide open, looking out of the window and scanning the situation in the room.
The corpse in the Taoist robe had a very strong corpse gas. In an instant, it poured into the room from outside to inside, so that the fresh fruits and delicious meats on the table began to rot and grow hair in an instant.
Not only were the fresh fruits and meat rotting, but mold was also growing everywhere in the wooden house.
Tian Lin glanced at Old Man Ran and saw that his face looked extremely ugly.
At this time, corpse spots began to appear on Old Man Ran's body. The large amount of corpse poison made his face turn blue, his nails began to grow longer, and his pupils began to turn white.
With a "whoosh" sound, the zombie disappeared here in an instant. There was no sound of heartbeat or breath of any living thing.
At the next moment, the sound of a baby crying suddenly stopped.
Tian Lin glanced at Old Man Ran and saw tears flowing from his eyes. But even so, Old Man Ran remained motionless.
At this time in Gongming Village, the living person with the highest cultivation level was Wu Miaozhu.
But Tian Lin and Old Man Ran obviously had no idea how the zombies got out of Gongming Temple, and whether the temple keeper Wu was dead or alive.
Apart from these, the ones with the highest cultivation level are Old Man Ran and Tian Lin.
But no matter who they are, they can't be a match for Xing Zhuang.
Therefore, at this critical moment, they could only act like turtles and allow the zombies to slaughter them in the village.
Half an hour passed, and suddenly there was a night watch. At this time, Old Man Ran hurriedly took out the pill from his storage bag and swallowed it. Then he did not circulate his true energy, but opened the door and left the house.
Tian Lin thought about it and followed closely, but he did not follow Old Man Ran to check the deaths of the villagers. Instead, he flew towards Gongming Temple.
At the Gongming Temple, there was a bangzi on the stone platform behind the altar, and the temple priest Wu was burning incense facing the sedan chair on the altar.
Perhaps hearing the footsteps, Wu Miaozhu turned around and performed the ceremony with Tian Lin.
Tian Lin didn't say anything, but turned his head and looked back following the sound of footsteps.
Then old man Ran came in with big strides, pointed at Wu Miaozhu, who was also covered in corpse spots and poisoned, and asked, "What's going on? Why are zombies coming out to eat people?"
Wu Miaozhu had a blank expression on his face, and his aura was even stronger than that of Old Man Ran. He shouted, "Ran Cunzheng, please be careful with your words. The one lying in the sedan chair is not a zombie, but the God Gongming!"
