Chapter 347 Heaven Wants to Destroy the People of Daqi
Chapter 347 Heaven Wants to Destroy the People of Daqi
As soon as the monk left, Tian Lin and Master Tingyu continued to pull the cart.
The only difference was that compared to before, there was one more person pulling the cart this time, and the person holding the whip and supervising was replaced by a woman.
The woman was gentler in nature. She wasn't used to fighting with others, nor did she know how to threaten others.
On the contrary, when we encounter water ponds or steep slopes, she will come out to help push the cart.
If Master Tingyu and the supervisor who was also punished were too tired, she could only beg them to work faster and lend a hand.
Because of her character, although the journey was difficult, Tian Lin and others did not fall too far behind.
After the first day, the group found a forest to rest.
The woman went to the second in command who looked like a scholar and got some dry food. There was only a handful of dry food; it looked like rice grains, but in fact they were seeds from some unknown plant and did not look delicious.
But even this kind of thing that doesn't look good is a delicacy in the woman's eyes.
She put each seed into her mouth and chewed it slowly, closing her eyes and pursing her lips. She would savor each seed for a long time;
But how can such a handful of food help to stave off hunger? It can only barely keep people from starving to death.
Master Tingyu who was standing by was fine. The punished man struggled to get up and walked towards the woman.
Tian Lin and Master Tingyu both looked at the man, wondering if he would reach out to grab it next!
But in fact, the "discipline" of this Hwahwarang team is very strict.
The leading official and the second in command would never allow internal strife to occur.
So even though the man was hungry, he didn't dare to reach out to grab it.
He almost knelt down in front of the woman and begged, "Second Mother, can you give me some barley to eat?"
The woman shook her head, and the man knelt down towards her again: "Please give me some!"
The woman shook her head again, perhaps feeling threatened, and she pulled out her whip;
During the day, the woman behaved very docilely.
But Tian Lin had no doubt that if the man dared to approach her again and tried to share the food in her hand, she would definitely use the whip in her hand.
"Damn it, I don't know how many years it has been, I almost forgot the feeling of hunger!"
After making sure that the man didn't dare to approach the woman and nothing serious would happen next, Master Tingyu no longer focused on the couple, but complained to Tian Lin.
In the eyes of Master Tingyu, these people are all mortals.
Although Tian Lin is a small cultivator in the late stage of foundation building, he is ultimately of the same kind as him.
At this time, his relationship with Tian Lin seemed closer.
"The feeling of being hungry? I can't forget it for a moment!"
Tian Lin recalled the scene when he first traveled through time and was hesitant about whether to eat cow dung.
Seriously speaking, it seems like only a few years have passed between then and now.
However, Master Tingyu has cultivated himself to the Nascent Soul stage and has lived for at least thousands of years.
In other words, the time when Master Tingyu was hungry was probably thousands of years ago. Perhaps Master Tingyu really forgot about being hungry.
"What are you getting up to do?"
Master Tingyu turned his head to look at Tian Lin and found that Tian Lin stood up with the help of a wooden stick and walked towards the woods.
He didn't know what Tian Lin was going to do, but he subconsciously followed and stood up with the stick. But he saw Tian Lin walking crookedly in front of him and said, "I'll go to the forest to find something to eat like them."
Upon hearing this, Master Tingyu said, "Don't be silly. We have eaten all the edible tree barks along the way. The remaining flowers and plants are all poisonous. If you eat them, you will die."
Having said that, he still followed Tian Lin all the way into the woods.
Because at night, the Langguan would ask the women in the Huahualang team to go out and pick wild plants and fruits.
Therefore, Tian Lin was not the only one entering the forest at this time.
"Everyone remember to travel in pairs, so as not to be captured by wandering ghosts! And don't walk too far away, because if you leave the group, your popularity will be dispersed and you will be easily taken advantage of by wandering ghosts!"
There was no need for the second in command to say much, Tian Lin and others heard the wailing sounds of ghosts under the cover of night.
At this time, he and Master Tingyu had no cultivation at all, so naturally they did not dare to take any risks.
But hunger makes people lose their minds, and some women plucked up their courage and finally walked into the deep forest!
"You little brat, you have a good talent for cultivation, but I can tell from the looks of it that you've never made an elixir before. How can you eat this Ghost Crying Fruit?"
When Master Tingyu saw Tian Lin picking a fruit and about to put it into his mouth, he stopped Tian Lin.
“Isn’t this edible?”
Tian Lin said: "But I just saw a woman picking a lot of these fruits. Although these women have no cultivation, they are very clear about whether the food is poisonous or not. Since she dared to pick this kind of fruit, it probably proves that the fruit is not poisonous."
Master Tingyu sneered, "That's because she is determined to die, and would rather die a full ghost than endure this hunger. Or maybe, she is so hungry that she wants to eat anything that can fill her stomach!
Whether this Ghost Crying Fruit is poisonous or not, you will know when you see whether she is dead or alive."
After hearing what he said, Tian Lin really did not eat the ghost-crying fruit again, but he still picked several and stuffed them into his body.
This ghost-crying fruit is poisonous, but it is not toxic to him.
Tian Lin didn't plan to eat it in front of Master Tingyu, but planned to eat it secretly to fill his stomach.
The two walked around and saw that many trees had been stripped clean of their skins and leaves. The few that were still intact and lush were definitely poisonous and inedible.
Tian Lin even saw many tooth marks on the peeled tree trunks, some from humans and some from animals.
"These tree barks must have been peeled off by the Hwahwalangs who fled ahead."
Master Tingyu said: "Da Qi fell because of defying the will of heaven, and heaven has sent down a calamity to destroy the people of Da Qi - we have returned to the end of Da Qi."
Da Qi disappeared along with Zhongzhou, and the information about Da Qi was vague and mysterious in Tian Lin's memory.
Tian Lin is not from Da Qi, or rather, there are probably few people living in this world now who are from Da Qi.
According to Master Tingyu and the palace officials, this disaster was a punishment sent by God to the people of Daqi.
The reason why the heavens wanted to punish Da Qi was because the royal family of Da Qi did not respect the heavens.
What is Heaven? Why doesn't the royal family respect Heaven?
These things, Tingyu Zhenren and Erdangjia couldn't explain clearly. The former was not from this era, and didn't know much about the secrets of this era.
The latter are the lower class of this era. The secrets known to everyone in the upper class are probably something they will never be able to discover until they die.
"If the heavens really want to kill all the people of Daqi, then are those people from Zhongzhou who disappeared already dead? If all the people in Zhongzhou are dead, why did Zhongzhou disappear?
Now is not the time to lament about these things, let’s first think about how to fill our stomachs.”
Tian Lin is confident that he can avoid dying of hunger, but it is hard to say whether Master Tingyu can do the same.
