Chapter 475 Testing
Chapter 475 Testing
Seeing that the vendor had such confidence in the New Heavenly Religion, Tian Lin asked him, "Since the New Heavenly Religion is so powerful, why don't you join it, little brother?"
The vendor said with a bitter look on his face, "Xiao Ke found out too late and was unable to join the New Heavenly Church early. If you join the New Heavenly Church now, you can only start as a laborer at the bottom. And laborers don't get any food."
Tian Lin nodded after hearing this, and suddenly pointed at the bustling little restaurant: "Fuzhou has become like this now, who is so rich and powerful that dares to open a restaurant here?"
"These are the New Heavenly Sect's evil-punishing envoys stationed in Fuzhou, who are dedicated to capturing the remnants of the Goddess Sect outside."
The vendor suddenly lowered his voice and said to Tian Lin and the others, "If you two want to join the New Heavenly Religion, you can go upstairs and find those evil-punishing messengers. But if you don't want to join the New Heavenly Religion, you'd better leave as soon as possible."
Tian Lin heard this and said, "Why, besides not letting go the people from the Goddess Sect, they also don't let go of passers-by?"
The vendor said, "According to the elders of the church, they naturally want to help people all over the world and treat all living things as one family - but how the people below actually do it is not something the elders can control."
He lowered his voice even lower, but this time it was not because he was afraid that the people from the New Heaven Sect would hear him, but because he was afraid that Mei Xiangu would hear him.
"Although I can't see the true face of the lady next to you, I know she must be very beautiful. In Fuzhou City, a woman like this will easily attract the attention of the Punisher."
"How are those evil punishers? If I run into them by accident and get blackmailed by them, will I be able to escape?"
The vendor got the meat pie and told the whole story:
"Their cultivation base is all at the Jindan realm, and their cultivation base seems to be no higher than that of the two adults; but in Fuzhou, there are more than ten evil punishers, and there is also a Yuanying elder in charge--"
After hearing this, Tian Lin bowed to the vendor and said, "Thank you for your kind words, brother. If you go to Northern Wasteland in the future, I will definitely invite you to the restaurant for a gathering."
After saying this, Tian Lin exchanged a glance with Mei Xiangu, who followed closely behind him, and the two of them quickly left the market.
"Fuzhou is now deserted, and it can neither produce food nor other treasures. What is a Yuanying cultivator doing here for no reason?"
Even though the vendor lowered his voice and avoided Mei Xiangu, with Mei Xiangu's strength, how could he hide it from Mei Xiangu's ears unless he used secret communication?
"No matter what the Nascent Soul cultivator is guarding here, we'd better leave immediately."
After hearing what Tian Lin said, Mei Xiangu frowned and asked, "Is it necessary to be so nervous?"
"It's better to be cautious. Who knows if there is a pair of eyes watching us in the dark?"
Although Mei Xiangu thought Tian Lin was too timid, she did not refute him in the end, but followed Tian Lin to the tavern where he lived in his childhood.
When they arrived at the restaurant, Tian Lin said to Mei Xiangu, "It's better not to tell anyone else what the vendor said to us."
Mei Xiangu was stunned and couldn't help asking, "Do you suspect my aunt Shan and the others?"
Tian Lin didn't say anything because Cui'er and her sister, who were waiting for them, had already come downstairs to greet them.
According to Tian Lin and Mei Xiangu's cultivation level, it is not necessary for them to eat.
But Mei Xiangu's aunt Shan and her friends had been hungry for too long. Now that they had finally found a "rich man", it would be unreasonable not to have a big meal under the pretext of a long-awaited reunion.
So when Tian Lin and his companions came over, the abandoned private room on the second floor had been completely renovated. Not only that, it was already filled with the aroma of wine and food.
Tian Lin followed Cui'er and her sister upstairs. He looked at the table full of food and wine and nodded to Mei Xiangu.
Mei Xiangu didn't know how Tian Lin judged that the food and wine were not poisonous. She didn't want to believe that her "relatives" would harm her. But after hearing what Tian Lin said, when she looked at Aunt Shan and the others, she always felt that their smiles were sinister and vicious.
"Xian'er, come and sit down! Ever since you left Nanzhou and went to Wendao Sect, how many years have it been since we sat down and rested properly?"
Aunt Xin pulled Mei Xiangu to sit at the top and poured her some wine. Mei Xiangu held the wine in her hand and hesitated before swallowing it.
At this time, Aunt Shan said again: "If my children and grandchildren were still alive, they could have a meal together now, that would be called a reunion."
After she finished speaking, she wiped her tears and gritted her teeth and said, "It's all the fault of those damned thieves. They said they wanted to save all living beings, but in the end, they were just doing things that were against the will of heaven and earth under the guise of saving the world and helping the people."
Aunt Shan's tears moved Mei Xiangu. She thought of her childhood playmates and couldn't help feeling a little ashamed for doubting Aunt Shan.
“Who cooked these dishes?”
Tian Lin came over at this time and sat down next to Mei Xiangu with a smile.
Aunt Shan was interrupted by Tian Lin's words and explained, "It's all thanks to Miss Yu'er and Miss Cui'er. They prepared all these meals."
At this time, Mei Xiangu, who was standing by, explained to Tian Lin, "Men have always been the ones cooking in Nanzhou. My aunt Shan and the others have never been in charge of cooking."
At that time, men had a low status in Nanzhou, so all housework was done by men. As for women, they disdained to cook.
"No wonder, I was wondering why the taste was so familiar."
Tian Lin has eaten all the dishes prepared by Cui'er and her sisters.
He had eaten a meal like this many times before.
According to the entry, Tian Lin can easily tell whether there are any additives in the dish.
He picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece and put it in his mouth.
He took several big bites in a row. The old ladies finally couldn't help it. As if they were afraid that he would eat all the food, they also rushed to use their chopsticks.
Seeing that Tian Lin was fine after eating, Mei Xiangu had nothing to be afraid of.
Then again, if it was a deadly poison, and Tian Lin died of poisoning, could she be spared?
"By the way, where did you go during the day?"
Aunt Xin ate half her fill before she was willing to ask questions.
Mei Xiangu remembered Tian Lin's warning, so she opened her mouth and wanted to lie.
But Tian Lin said, "We went to the Goddess Sect the day before yesterday, but it had been surrounded by the New Heaven Sect. We had no choice but to think of another way to enter the sect."
Aunt Xin thought for a moment and said, "I heard from someone that there is a secret well in Fuzhou City that leads to the Goddess Sect. But only the elders of the Goddess Sect know about this secret well—"
She paused, looked at Mei Xiangu and asked, "Does Xiangu know about the existence of the secret well?"
Tian Lin took over the conversation and said, "Senior Sister Mei has also heard her grandfather mention it, but she is not sure where the secret well is."
Aunt Xin said, "In Fuzhou City, people didn't need to dig wells to get water, so there are only seven or eight hundred wells. If you look carefully, you will always find it."
Tian Lin frowned: "Seven or eight hundred wells, how long will it take to find them?"
Aunt Xin said, "As long as we can enter the Goddess Sect, we won't have to worry about food and clothing. What does it matter if we spend some effort?"
