Chapter 363 Knocking on the door in the middle of the night
Chapter 363 Knocking on the door in the middle of the night
To be on the safe side, the group stayed on the top of the mountain for another half a quarter of an hour before sending a mortal to investigate the situation below.
The mortal went down and walked around the edge of the pit, and finally climbed up the hill, panting.
Langguan immediately said to Master Tingyu:
"Seventh Brother, since you know how to refine ore, you will be in charge of refining it. Now that the thunder has flattened the tree monster on the top of the mountain, it seems to be a good thing, but without the tree monster, won't the evil spirits around it be no longer an obstacle?
Therefore, the most urgent task is to plan for safety at night in addition to smelting the ore!"
In the last days, humans and ghosts live together.
Obviously, ore refining cannot be completed in a short period of time, so we must plan to stay here for a month or two.
If you want to live there permanently, you can't just set up a tent and camp there. You have to build a village and set up rules.
The road ahead was still full of difficulties, but fortunately the spiritual mine gave everyone hope. Not only Tian Lin and the other cultivators, but even those mortals without any cultivation were full of fighting spirit.
With spirit stones, everyone will have the opportunity to cultivate immortality.
So without Tian Lin and others urging them, these people followed Master Tingyu into the big pit to learn how to mine ore.
"Luckily for Yao Tian, all five elements of spiritual stones are available here. It is a truly top-grade spiritual vein. No wonder so many tree monsters can be raised here."
Master Tingyu worked for an hour, holding a heavy stone in his hand, and said to Tian Lin and Langguan:
"There are many such thunder stones over there, which are formed when thunder strikes. They can be used to set up thunder formations, or to carve statues of the Thunder God."
"Who among us has the ability to carve a statue of a god? As for setting up a thunder formation, I have never heard of this formation. Can you set it up, Old Seven?"
At this time, the official had already seen the extraordinary qualities of Tian Lin and Master Tingyu, but since Tian Lin and Master Tingyu did not say much, he did not ask any more questions.
Master Tingyu stroked his beard and said, "I can't carve the statue of Thunder God for the time being, but I will be able to set up the Thunder Tribulation Array after the spirit stones are refined."
The official said, "Then you, Old Seven, will have to go and refine the spirit stones now. As for us brothers, we need to build the house before the sun sets."
By the time the sun set, only two or three houses had been built. This was because Tian Lin and several other cultivators had spent the entire afternoon working on it.
Fortunately, the two or three houses were built large enough, and a large bunk bed could accommodate more than ten people. If they were only used as bedrooms, they would be enough.
There are three houses, two of which are used for people to rest and one is used for smelting ore.
Following the instructions of Master Tingyu, Tian Lin set up an earth and fire formation that could be used for several days.
Although the formation was roughly arranged, the true fire it produced was enough to melt hard ore.
In addition to setting up the earth and fire formation, Tian Lin also drew some talismans under the guidance of Master Tingyu.
At night, more than twenty people were divided into two groups, one group spent the night in room A and the other group spent the night in room B.
Among them, the Langguan and the Erdangjia were responsible for supervising the people in Room A, while Tian Lin and Master Tingyu rested in Room B.
"With the spirit stone, it's not long before I can recover my cultivation. Once I recover, who will dare to yell at me?"
He could not forget the day when he was whipped when he first came into this world.
I also can't forget the days when I was looked down upon by others.
As soon as he got on the kang, the old man was so excited that he couldn't sleep. On the other hand, other mortals had already fallen asleep on their beds because they were tired after a day's work.
Tian Lin only glanced at the old man and said, "Even if you recover to the Nascent Soul stage, you are still only the Seventh Master." The old man's face darkened and he said, "Because of the oath I swore in front of Hou Tu, I have sworn brotherhood with you. But when I recover my cultivation, shouldn't you follow my lead?"
"Even if you recover to the Nascent Soul stage, you are still the Seventh Brother!"
Tian Lin didn't waste any more words with him and just replied with this sentence.
Master Tingyu felt greatly insulted, and just as he was about to open his mouth to speak, a whimpering sound rang out among the mountains.
The few people who were not sleeping so deeply also got up from the big bunk beds at this time.
Because there were both men and women in the Huahualang group, and there were only three houses built in total.
So there was no distinction between men and women on the big bunk bed, and several women were awakened by the sobbing sounds outside the house.
"Don't panic! We have a lot of people, and when there are a lot of people, the Yang is strong, and when the Yang is strong, the Yin is weak! Besides, we have already pasted talismans outside the house, so how can ordinary evil spirits dare to approach?"
Master Tingyu used the aura of a Nascent Soul expert to comfort the person who had woken up on the big bunk bed.
But just as he finished speaking, someone knocked on the door from outside. The knocks were light and sparse at first, but later became frequent and heavy.
In addition to the knocking sound, there was also a child's voice outside shouting: "Mom, open the door quickly, I'm so sleepy."
Some people also said, "Son, open the door, I brought some food back."
Tian Lin also heard a familiar voice saying, "Didn't I tell you to go back? Why are you going to seek immortality again?"
The voices were mixed, with accents from all over the world, but Tian Lin remained firm, knowing that those outside were ghosts, not humans.
"Lie down, everyone. Those outside are definitely not your relatives. Think carefully, do you still have relatives alive in this world?"
Ordinary people have weak wills and forget that their wives, children and parents are dead after hearing a few lies.
Seeing several mortals getting out of bed and about to open the door in a daze, Tian Lin mercilessly whipped them on the head with a whip in his hand.
The pain woke these people up from their confusion. They realized the seriousness of the problem, covered the whip marks on their bodies and retreated to the big bunk bed.
Tian Lin said to Master Tingyu again, "Just watch out, if anyone dares to get out of bed at this time, I will whip them."
This does not require Tian Lin's orders. Master Tingyu's performance will only be more cruel than Tian Lin's.
With a fierce look in his eyes, he looked at the person on the bunk bed and said, "If anyone wants to die, he doesn't need to open the door to leave. I will kill him on the bed."
Although the room was dim and no one could see his fierce eyes, everyone knew from the old man's tone that he was not joking.
As the night went on, the evil spirit outside kept screaming. Finally, as the day was about to dawn, the sound became rarer and finally disappeared.
When Tian Lin opened the door, the sun had already risen outside. The scene outside the house seemed just like yesterday, as if the evil spirits wandering in the early morning were all the imagination of everyone in the house!
"Okay, it's daybreak, everyone get up and work."
After Master Tingyu finished speaking, someone said, "Sir, we've been so noisy all night, and we're all tired and sleepy. Let's get some sleep."
Master Tingyu said mercilessly: "It's you who don't want to sleep, not me who forbids you to sleep! Hurry up and get up, no one should be lazy. If you don't finish today's work, no one will think about eating!"
