Chapter 474 Intelligence
Chapter 474 Intelligence
Since she had met old friends, it was impossible for Mei Xiangu to abandon these old friends who were about to starve to death.
She took a few women into Fuzhou City and found an empty house.
This empty house was actually a grain station, with a tavern in the front and the backyard used for storage.
"My parents died very early. When I was very young, I played with Aunt Xin's children in Fuzhou."
After settling down several women, Mei Xiangu came to Tian Lin's room and explained to Tian Lin:
"I don't know what maternal love and paternal love are, but I am sure that Aunt Shan and the others treat me very well - even though I suspect that it is because of my grandfather, so they want to curry favor with me."
Tian Lin didn't care what Mei Xiangu did. As long as it didn't affect him, he had no right to interfere with Mei Xiangu.
He only asked: "Are you planning to take them back to the Dao Sect?"
Mei Xiangu shook her head and said, "I plan to find the teleportation array in Fuzhou and bring them to the Goddess Sect. Although they are not members of the Goddess Sect and are not even considered menial disciples, they have worked hard for the Goddess Sect for generations. Now that they are in trouble, the Goddess Sect cannot afford to let them go."
Seeing that she had made up her mind, Tian Lin had nothing more to say.
He asked Mei Xiangu: "When are you going to find that teleportation array?"
He had heard from Fairy Mei that the teleportation array was located under an abandoned well in Fuzhou City.
"The abandoned well will only appear when there is moonlight at night, so we have to wait for a few hours."
After hearing this, Tian Lin looked at the sky outside.
The sky outside was full of locusts, but they could not block the scorching sun from shining into the city.
It is at least two or three hours away from the night when the moon appears.
"We can go to the garden first to take a look. We don't have to wait until night to find that the abandoned well garden has been occupied by someone else."
Mei Xiangu nodded and agreed to his proposal. The two of them went out and went downstairs without taking Cui'er and her sister.
Nowadays in Fuzhou, not only are there few people on the streets.
And those who wander around the streets must be dressed in rags and look like zombies.
It’s not that the locusts would eat all the clothes in the city - it’s just that Fuzhou was short of food, and those who had food in the city left with food and clothes.
Fuzhou went from being a prosperous commercial center to a deserted city. People who stayed here had no place to buy new clothes even if they had money. On the other hand, who would be willing to spend money instead of buying food to buy new clothes that were useless?
"The two of us seem a little too conspicuous."
Tian Lin touched his cheek. His face was not only fat, but also too round. He did not look like the skinny and pale face of the locals at all.
"It's embarrassing enough for me to wear a veil. If I wear dirty clothes and pretend to be a beggar, people will laugh at me, Mei Xiangu, for being a coward."
Tian Lin thought about it and gave up the idea of asking her to change her clothes. With her current appearance, it would be useless to change into beggar clothes.
She also didn't know how to disguise herself, and the beggar's clothes combined with her curvy figure would probably cause her a lot of trouble.
After all, although beautiful clothes attract attention, when others see her, they will also consider whether her background is extraordinary and will not dare to provoke her easily.
Soon, the two arrived at an abandoned courtyard in the abandoned market town of Fuzhou.
This courtyard has long been dilapidated, and the walls are covered with footprints of others climbing up.
The gate of the courtyard had long since collapsed, and the courtyard was overgrown with weeds, clearly having been abandoned for a long time. Tian Lin and Mei Xiangu entered the courtyard only after making sure that no one was around.
The two of them strolled around the courtyard, but seeing there was nothing to do there, they went out.
They were not in a hurry to go back to find Cui'er and her sister, but instead wandered around outside.
Although Fuzhou is in decline today, most of the cultivators have left.
But there are still some people who stay in Fuzhou for various reasons.
The two of them automatically ignored the few "remaining" restaurants and their eyes were attracted by the small vendors outside the restaurants.
There were a lot of things being sold at the small vendors, all of which were things that Tian Lin and Mei Xiangu didn't like.
Although these things are not particularly precious, they are rare.
"Mountain mover?"
Tian Lin touched the origami figure in his hand and asked the young stall owner, "How many spirit stones?"
"Ten!"
Noticing that Mei Xiangu's eyebrows were raised, the vendor hurriedly changed the subject and said to Tian Lin: "Five, five pancakes will be enough."
However, Mei Xiangu said, "You, a mountain-moving warrior, only cost a piece of paper. As long as you have the foundation-building cultivation, you can make it yourself. In today's world, what is lacking is not spiritual energy, but food."
After hearing what Mei Xiangu said, the vendor immediately retorted:
"Only those who practice Qimen Dunjia can make the Mountain Moving Hercules. In Fuzhou City, I am the only one who sells the Mountain Moving Hercules. Besides, what I want is not meat pies, but five pies to fill my stomach. My lords, I really don't ask for much."
Fairy Mei was about to speak, but Tian Lin said to the vendor, "I'll give you a meat pie in exchange for five mountain movers."
One meat pie is much more valuable than five ordinary vegetarian pie. What's more, Tian Lin's meat pie was made when he visited the Taoist sect, so it is not only sufficient but also the ingredients are extremely precious.
When the vendor saw the meat pie that Tian Lin took out, his eyes suddenly lit up.
He nodded repeatedly and even said, "I'll give you twenty mountain-moving strongmen, and you can give me one more meat pie, okay?"
Tian Lin shook his head and said, "It's useless for me to have too many Mountain Moving Warriors. Only five will be enough."
After he exchanged the meat pie in his hand with the vendor, he asked him again, "We came from the Northern Wasteland. We heard that Fuzhou is the grain-producing area of the Goddess Sect, so we came here. How come when we got here, not only did we not see any grain, but even the residents of Fuzhou were gone?"
The vendor suddenly realized what was going on and said, "No wonder your accent is a little strange, you don't sound like someone from Nanzhou."
After a pause, the vendor said, "It's been a long time since Fuzhou was the grain-producing area of the Shennv Sect. Ever since the New Heaven Sect leaders started an uprising, no one has been planting land in Fuzhou. Everyone has joined the New Heaven Sect and followed the New Heaven Sect leaders to the Shennv Sect to beg for grain."
Tian Lin frowned and said, "The Goddess Sect has so many Yuanying elders, and it's a sect with a history of ten thousand years. Who is this New Heaven Sect? They dare to attack the Goddess Sect. Aren't they afraid of being killed by the elders of the Goddess Sect?"
"This New Heaven Sect is made up of Nascent Soul cultivators who came from all directions. Their Nascent Soul combat power is no less than that of the Goddess Sect. We don't know where they got their confidence from - but what's strange is that after the Goddess Sect encountered the New Heaven Sect, they also became cowards."
Tian Lin said: "Did the people from the New Heaven Sect get any food?"
"When the New Heaven Sect first started to gain momentum, most of the grain in Fuzhou was used to recruit people. It was also because the New Heaven Sect was generous with its grain that countless Hua Hua Langs gathered in an instant. With so many Hua Hua Langs here, even if they can't get grain for a while, I think it won't take long for them to break through the Goddess Sect and divide up the grain of the Goddess Sect."
