Chapter 300: The Evil Has Not Been Cleared Away
"Okay, then please have a good rest for two days, Brother Tian. After the altar is set up, we can start the mourning."
Patriarch Shang was also afraid that something might happen to Tian Lin. He didn't know what had happened in his sea of consciousness, nor did he know what Tian Lin had contributed in his sea of consciousness.
He just thought that Tian Lin's cultivation was too low, so he was the most seriously injured at this moment.
It would be better to re-open the mourning hall, which would take some time, so as not to delay the burial time because Tian Lin is recuperating alone.
That night, Tian Lin, Ju Yunhai and the other two were placed in the backyard of a merchant's house. Mei Xiangu was not interested in what happened to Tian Lin and the others in their sea of consciousness, so she simply returned to her own room.
Ju Yunhai had no choice but to comfort Tian Lin, "The most difficult part of the merchant's mission is exorcism. Now that the exorcism has been successful, mourning will be easy. Junior Brother Tian, rest assured for the next two days. You don't need to show up during the mourning, and I think it will be completed smoothly."
Tian Lin nodded, and Ju Yunhai also said goodbye to Tian Lin and returned to the next room.
Tian Lin himself has no way to restore his spiritual consciousness. The only way to restore his spiritual consciousness is to use the technique of questioning the mind.
But the art of questioning one's mind is not a supernatural power, and the effect of practicing it is not significant.
He simply started eating cold fragrance leaves and practicing the Earth Rejuvenation Technique.
Now he only has this magical power that has not reached the perfect state, and this magical power is extremely effective in repairing the physical body. In addition, it also has a certain repair effect on the soul.
For the next five consecutive days, Tian Lin used cold fragrance leaves.
After five days, although his Earth Rejuvenation Technique was not yet perfected, it was not far from perfection.
His injured spirit also recovered greatly. At least he no longer felt dizzy, and except for the mental fatigue, he had no other problems.
Tian Lin got out of bed, pushed the door open and squinted at the sunset outside the valley.
The small courtyard was very quiet, because the merchants knew that Tian Lin was recuperating, so no one came to disturb Tian Lin.
During these five days, both Ju Yunhai and Mei Xiangu seemed to have forgotten Tian Lin and did not come to talk to him.
“When was the talisman put on the door?”
Tian Lin tilted his head and looked at his door panel. For a moment, he didn't know whether the talisman paper pasted on the door was there before, or if it was pasted after he moved in.
In short, not only were there talismans pasted on his door, but also on the door frames of Ju Yunhai and Mei Xiangu, there were talismans that he could not recognize.
Tian Lin thought about it and walked to the door of Ju Yunhai.
But there was no response from inside the house after knocking on the door. After hesitating, Tian Lin probed his spiritual consciousness into the house.
Soon, his spiritual consciousness was bounced back by the talisman paper on the door.
Not only that, the talisman paper burst into flames, and the burned Tian Lin groaned.
Just as Tian Lin retreated vigilantly, footsteps were heard outside the courtyard one after another.
Behind the Moon Gate, the figures of Ju Yunhai and Mei Xiangu appeared one after another.
One of the two men held a sword in his hand, and the other seemed ready to attack at any time.
But after they saw clearly that it was Tian Lin, they relaxed.
"Junior Brother Tian, are you healed?"
When Ju Yunhai saw Tian Lin appear, he finally smiled.
"Although my injuries are not serious, after five days of rest, I can already display my magical powers."
After saying this, Tian Lin asked in confusion: "Then again, even if the business wants to redecorate the mourning hall, it won't take five days, right? And the talisman on the door seems to prevent spirits from spying. Is this the case for all the guest rooms of the business?" Ju Yunhai shook his head and said: "The talisman was only put up later. As for the mourning, it is not needed for the time being."
Seeing Tian Lin frowning, Ju Yunhai left the courtyard first, then returned to the courtyard and invited Tian Lin to sit in his room.
The three of them entered the house. Ju Yunhai made tea for Tian Lin and Mei Xiangu while explaining to Tian Lin:
"According to the five brothers of the Shi family, after the funeral hall is set up, the coffin can be opened and the shroud can be re-arranged, and then the Shang family's legitimate son and grandson will attend the funeral together. Originally, the funeral hall and other matters had been arranged, but unexpectedly, Master Shang disappeared."
Tian Lin was stunned and said, "Mr. Shang's injury has not healed yet, and it is such a critical moment. Where will he go? Where can he go?"
Ju Yunhai said nothing, Mei Xiangu sneered:
"Since the boy surnamed Shang disappeared four days ago, people have been missing every day since then. This Shang family is really strange. In addition to his ancestor, there are other evil spirits."
Tian Lin also frowned when he heard this.
Logically speaking, although Shang Jia is now in decline, there are still three people in the late foundation building stage in the clan.
Even if Young Master Shang, who is in the late foundation building stage, is missing, the five brothers of the Shi family, as well as Mei Xiangu and Ju Yunhai, are all powerful people in the late foundation building stage?
What kind of evil spirit could wreak havoc among so many powerful late-stage foundation-building warriors and remain undetected?
"Could it be that the evil spirit of the Shangjia Patriarch has escaped?"
Tian Lin remembered that the evil spirit of the Shang Dynasty ancestor was sealed by the corpse boss, but the jar that sealed the Shang Dynasty ancestor did not look like a remarkable treasure.
Tian Lin suspected that the broken jar was broken by the Shang family ancestor, or someone deliberately released the Shang family ancestor.
"The jar that sealed the Shangjia Patriarch is still there. Boss Shi said that the Shangjia Patriarch did not escape."
At this time, Tian Lin finally understood why there were talismans pasted on his door, as well as on the doors of Ju Yunhai and Mei Xiangu.
This was obviously done to deal with the evil spirit.
"No matter where this evil spirit came from, since we have helped Shang Jia drive the spirit of his ancestor out of his son's body, the mission of exorcising the evil spirit has been completed."
Mei Xiangu said: "I have already told the head of the Shang family that no matter whether his son is dead or alive, his ancestor will be buried tomorrow. After we have completed our mourning mission, we will just return to the clan."
Tian Lin nodded, and at this moment someone knocked on the door.
Because the two mentioned that people kept disappearing from businesses, Tian Lin couldn't help but feel a little alert.
Ju Yunhai said, "This is the food I ordered for you. I guess the merchant's servants are here to bring the food."
Ju Yunhai opened the door and the person standing outside was indeed the merchant's servant.
The servant carried the food box and placed the dishes on the table. He then bowed to Tian Lin and the others and trotted out the door.
"It seems that this unknown evil has made the merchants uneasy."
Tian Lin picked up the teacup and took a sip, then squinted at the sky outside: "It's not too early now, let's talk about dinner next time. Why don't we go now and go find Chief Shang in the morning."
Mei Xiangu had stood up at this time and said, "I will come to see you tomorrow."
After she left the house, Ju Yunhai said, "Junior Brother Tian, please come a little later. This way, you can be prepared when you mourn tomorrow."
Tian Lin shook his head and said, "I prepared some dry food myself, so I wasn't hungry these past few days. But you, Senior Brother Ju, look a little tired. You should rest more than me."
The two didn't talk much and Tian Lin went back to his residence by himself.
The night passed quietly, and he had no idea that there was any evil going on in the business.
But at dawn the next day, a merchant came running over and said, "Something bad has happened, something bad has happened—"
