Chapter 481 Question
Chapter 481 Question
Tian Lin shook his head with Mei Xiangu, then exchanged a glance with the woman who looked very much like Mei Xiangu.
The woman who looked like Mei Xiangu walked towards the bed where Mei Xiangu was, making a "crunching" sound of grinding paper as she walked.
Looking at this 'herself' who not only looked like a knockoff but also had clumsy movements, Mei Xiangu almost laughed out of anger.
But at this time Tian Lin had already opened the door and left, so she had to resist the urge to tear up the paper man and followed Tian Lin out the door.
Both of them were foundation-building monks, and their movements were as silent as ghosts. When they left the small building, Aunt Xin and the others in the small building still didn't notice anything.
The streets are empty at night, with only a few inconspicuous corners where homeless people hide and wait to die.
Tian Lin and Mei Xiangu glanced at the beggars in the dirty corners of the street, and Tian Lin led the way towards the secret well where they first came to Fuzhou.
"Where are Cui'er and her sisters? Did you leave them in the inn?"
After hearing what Mei Xiangu had said, Tian Lin said without even turning his head, "Only with their moaning sounds can I conceal my whereabouts."
Mei Xiangu couldn't help but say, "Your paper figurines can't be hidden from others. Once they find out that you're a fake, even if we can escape, what will Cui Er say?"
Tian Lin replied in a voice transmission that seemed particularly cold: "As a sword bearer, isn't it necessary for me to share my master's worries at times like this?"
After hearing this, Mei Xiangu was unable to refute for a moment.
Strictly speaking, she changed the swords more often than Tian Lin did.
Before this, there were many people who died because of her and for her, but she didn't feel it was a pity.
But she had some feelings for Cui'er and her sisters, and she couldn't bear to see them being abandoned by Tian Lin.
But what Tian Lin said was right, holding the sword is used to block the knife at the critical moment. Otherwise, why would the monk hold the sword?
"It's a dark and windy night, a murderous night!"
Tian Lin quickly arrived at the secret well, but he was not in a hurry to see the secret well. Instead, he looked up at the moon above.
Mei Xiangu snorted coldly: "If I had known that Cui'er and the others would die, there would be no need to come to the Goddess Sect this time."
She was not worried about her grandfather's safety because he was blessed by the sect's immortal tree and the group of Nascent Soul cultivators outside could do nothing to Elder Mei in the sect.
"The moonlight is at its peak now. If we want to escape from the control of that Yuanying Punisher, we need to open the secret well before he finds out that we have escaped and take the opportunity to enter the Goddess Sect to seek protection."
Tian Lin looked at Mei Xiangu and said, "Time waits for no one, so hurry up and act."
Fairy Mei nodded, strode to the secret well, took out her own goddess tree and plucked some branches.
She inserted branches according to the four directions and muttered something.
The branches on all sides absorbed the spiritual energy and moonlight, and soon the grass and trees in the courtyard could be heard making sounds of wind. The abandoned stone well suddenly became brightly shining.
Tian Lin watched as the ancient well turned into a jade well, which seemed to be connected to another fairyland.
He walked to the Jade Well and looked inside.
Before he could see the situation in the Jade Well clearly, Mei Xiangu said, "The other end of this well seems to have been sealed."
Tian Lin raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and Mei Xiangu started to perform magic again. Soon, the abandoned well that had turned back into an ancient well turned back into a jade well. Tian Lin looked inside and could only see a dazzling white light, but he could not see the situation on the other side of the passage through the white light. It was very difficult to communicate between the two channels, and Mei Xiangu's Jindan realm cultivation was a little overwhelmed at this time.
Her face turned pale, and she finally gave up after holding on for another quarter of an hour: "The other end of the passage is indeed sealed. This secret well cannot be used to enter the Goddess Sect."
Tian Lin nodded and said, "Perhaps the people of the Goddess Sect were afraid of betrayal from outsiders, so they simply sealed the passage. Although I can no longer come out of the passage, it has also prevented people from entering the Goddess Sect from outside."
"What should we do? Should we leave Fuzhou directly now, or go back to Xiaolou?"
Mei Xiangu did not intend to try to communicate with this secret well again.
But since the secret well is useless, they cannot escape into the Goddess Sect through the secret well to seek refuge.
In this way, they seemed to be back to square one. Either they return to the small building and find a new way to escape from the control of the Nascent Soul cultivator.
Or he could take advantage of the fact that the Nascent Soul cultivator had not noticed that the person in the small building had been replaced by someone else and leave Fuzhou - but could he really escape under the nose of the Nascent Soul cultivator?
Tian Lin did not answer Mei Xiangu's words, but looked at the night sky again and said, "A dark and windy night is the best time to kill people. I feel that my paper figurine has been discovered."
As soon as he finished speaking, a man's voice rang out, "Do you really think that I can be fooled by those pieces of paper?"
Mei Xiangu's face changed, and she raised her hand and threw the Goddess Tree towards the person who came.
But just as she raised her hand, the man stretched out his hand and pressed it down. Not only could Mei Xiangu fail to throw out the Goddess Tree, she couldn't even move her body.
Tian Lin looked at the man who was walking over, as well as several Jindan cultivators, both men and women: "The Evil Punisher?"
The leading man was handsome and looked only about 20 years old. But he had just proved with his strength that he was the Nascent Soul cultivator who was in charge of Fuzhou.
"The Evil Punisher is what outsiders call us. I prefer others to call me Elder Zuo of the New Heaven Sect."
Tian Lin looked at the man and asked, "When did Elder Zuo find out that I wanted to use a paper man as a substitute?"
The man did not answer directly. Instead, he said, "I am not interested in answering your questions. After all, you are already trapped. However, if you are willing to exchange questions with me, then I am willing to answer your doubts."
"it is good!"
Tian Lin said: "Whatever Elder Zuo wants to ask me, I will tell him everything I know and will not hide anything."
The man said, "Okay, I'll answer your first question. When you first bought the paper figurine and the Qimen Dunjia book from the vendor, I knew you wanted to use the paper figurine as a substitute to deceive the world."
After that, he said, "Now it's my turn to ask you - when did you know that I was targeting you?"
"The first time I bought something from a street vendor, the vendor told me that the Fuzhou police bullied men and women a lot. I think my sister Mei's beauty will always attract more attention than those women in shabby clothes, right?
But there was no Punisher in the restaurant at that time. I thought that even if they were not lustful, they should not have ignored us. Something must be wrong when things are abnormal. At that time, I suspected that I was being targeted by the New Heavenly Cult. "
Elder Zuo nodded: "You are quite careful - now it's your turn to ask."
Tian Lin was not polite and said directly: "The New Heavenly Church wants to resist the Goddess Sect in the name of saving the world and benefiting the people, but why do I hear that the followers of the New Heavenly Church bully men and women, which is completely contrary to its doctrine. I want to ask, as the elder of Fuzhou City, does Elder Zuo have no restrictions on the followers of the New Heavenly Church?"
Elder Zuo smiled and said, "To use your words to answer the vendor, the life and death of ordinary people has nothing to do with me. Well, now let me ask you, did you and Mei Xiangu come to Fuzhou City on a mission assigned by the sect, or did you come here on your own initiative?"
