Chapter 346 Attitude Change
Chapter 346 Attitude Change
If they had any cultivation, Tian Lin and Master Tingyu would naturally not be afraid.
But precisely because they had no cultivation, the pots, pans, and utensils that they used to put into storage bags or could easily be picked up now seemed heavy on their shoulders.
Tian Lin is okay, after all, he looks younger.
But this was not the case with Master Tingyu. He was blind and had to rely on a cane made of a tree stick to move forward.
It just so happened that Tian Lin received another task from the official, which was to ensure that the old man did not die.
He had two companions who were in the same team. If one of them died, the other would be buried with him - this was the rule of the Hwahwarang team, which was intended to make the people below support and help each other.
Tian Lin had no intention of killing Master Tingyu at this time. After all, in this cannibalistic group, Master Tingyu seemed harmless and knew the whole thing better.
"Do you think the experiences of the previous Yuanying Zhenren will be the same as ours?"
Tian Lin was walking at the back of the team and couldn't help but ask Master Tingyu.
Master Tingyu tilted his head to show that he was listening to Tian Lin's words. He leaned on his cane with one hand and tightened the straw rope on his shoulder with the other hand:
"This is the world that the Immortal Sword brought us to. I'm afraid that all cultivators below the Spiritualization Stage cannot escape this kind of training."
"So, do you think we will meet them?"
Tian Lin’s words made Master Tingyu stunned!
In the past, when Tian Lin entered the illusion, he almost never met other people!
For example, in the illusion of Mount Tao, no matter how many people are on the same stone steps, everyone will live their own life after entering the illusion.
Another example is the Fairy Cave of the Goddess Sect. No matter how many people enter, it is the same location and they all start from scratch to enter the Novice Village.
But this time entering the "Heavenly Gate" was different. Tian Lin and Master Tingyu were obviously not separated.
"I don't know if we'll collide or not, but if we want to survive in here, we have to put aside our past grudges and help each other."
Tian Lin did not comment. Although the old man needed him more now, it did not mean that he did not need the old man.
However, if the time comes and the old man is no longer useful, Tian Lin will kill him without hesitation.
The two men now tightened the straw ropes, dragged the heavy wooden cart, and walked with difficulty on the mountain path.
"The highway is not maintained, and the official road is overgrown with weeds. This shows that the Great Qi Dynasty is already in the last days."
After Tian Lin finished speaking, Master Tingyu followed up with another sentence: "When a country prospers, the people suffer; when a country perishes, the people suffer as well. Whether the world ends or not, it has nothing to do with the common people!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a whip suddenly hit his shoulder from behind.
The man holding the whip was also a civilian. It was just that Tian Lin and Zhenren Tingyu were being punished, and he was temporarily assigned to look after Tian Lin and Zhenren Tingyu.
At this moment, he was furious and cursed: "Damn it, what good is there in the end of the world? Now the bark of the trees on the road has been eaten away. Is this the end of the world you like? You, a mud-legged person, also learns to be picky about words like other husbands. Hurry up and pull your cart!"
Being whipped for no reason, Master Tingyu became furious.
He is a dignified Nascent Soul cultivator. A gentleman can be killed but not humiliated. How can ordinary people be so presumptuous in front of him?
"How dare you! You dare to attack me? Aren't you afraid of death?"
The man holding the whip also got angry, and as he whipped him, he cursed back, "How dare you get angry at your grandfather? Aren't you afraid of getting whipped?"
"Pa pa" two more whips, and Master Tingyu finally realized the situation under the whip.
As the saying goes, a phoenix that has fallen to the ground is no better than a chicken. He is now a blind and hungry old man. He is no longer the Nascent Soul master Tingyu Zhenren.
What's the use of the so-called Nascent Soul dignity?
"Alright, alright, I give in, I give in!"
Master Tingyu dropped the rope and rolled on the ground in pain. But the man's whip was not enough and kept hitting Master Tingyu all over his body.
"Give up? You can't just say that. How can you give up? You need to kneel down and beg for mercy, and call me grandpa three times!"
Master Tingyu refused for a moment, but the whip did not stop.
Tian Lin frowned. He didn't want to help Master Tingyu for fear that it would bring disaster to himself.
But now, only Master Tingyu and I are carrying the things. If Master Tingyu is seriously injured and unable to move, then won't I have to carry all the things in this cart by myself?
By then, in addition to carrying things, I will also have to spend some time and energy to take care of him!
"Forget it, brother, stop it. If you hurt him, I'm afraid the official will punish you."
Tian Lin raised his hand and blocked the man's whip with the stick in his hand. When the man glared at him, Tian Lin said, "Besides, if we hurt him, who will help us carry the goods?"
The commotion here has attracted the attention of the Hwahwarangs who are moving forward. After all, this man is a mortal, so it's okay for him to bully an old man. But if he faces someone stronger than him, he will be timid at the sight of others.
Therefore, when he realized that his actions had attracted the attention of the cultivators in front, he decisively put away the whip.
At the same time, a monk's voice was heard in the woods ahead, shouting, "What the hell are you doing? Why are you walking so slowly? Are you looking for death?"
The supervisor's previous momentum weakened even more after hearing the angry curses.
He stepped forward and helped the old man up, then threatened him with fear: "Don't play dumb, I can't kill you with a few whips! Get up and pull the goods, if you can't catch up with the team, you'll be the first to be eaten!"
How could two people pulling goods along a mountain road be faster than those who were traveling lightly?
It was not that Tian Lin and Master Tingyu both had extraordinary physiques, so it was a problem whether they could even keep up with the person in front of them, let alone pull the cart.
At this time, Master Tingyu was groaning. He was indeed tired and hungry. After being whipped and lying on the ground, he could hardly breathe again.
"I can't pull it anymore, let me rest for a while."
As he said this, he was about to collapse to the ground.
The overseer was furious. Just as he was about to whip the monk in front of him, he came back and asked, "What's the matter? Why are you dragging your feet?"
In fact, needless to say, just looking at the mud, grass and whip marks on the old man's body, it is not difficult to guess what happened before.
Tian Lin and Master Tingyu didn't say anything. Only the supervisor quickly explained, "They fell accidentally."
It would have been fine if he told the truth, but he chose to lie like this.
The monk laughed and kicked the supervisor in the chest: "Do you think I'm stupid?"
Although the monk did not use enough strength in this kick, it was still not something an ordinary person could withstand.
The overseer flew backwards to the ground, barely able to catch his breath.
The monk did not continue to beat him, but said to the supervisor: "From now on, you will pull the cart with these two."
After that, he said to Tian Lin and Master Ting Yu, "The official said that as long as you can survive these three days, you will be treated to meat. Work hard and don't be lazy!"
While speaking, he patted Tian Lin's shoulder in an affectionate manner.
Tian Lin and Master Tingyu looked at each other, and for a moment they didn't know why these people's attitude towards them had changed so much.
