Chapter 497 Leaving

Chapter 497 Leaving

Chapter 497 Leaving
"Now that the elders of the Goddess Sect have all returned, when do you plan to leave the Goddess Sect?"

Because of the Dao Seed and the Enlightenment Pool, Cui'er and her sister have reached the early stage of Golden Elixir.

They have been staying in the underground space with Tian Lin for a month and have also helped with a lot of publicity work.

In fact, the two of them did not hate life in the Goddess Sect. After all, no one bullied them here.

But Tian Lin stayed here because of the trick of the great elder of the Goddess Sect. So he was not willing to do so. He was fooled but still gave his all.

"I think it's better not for us to decide when to leave."

Tian Lin said: "The decision should be made by the great elder of the Goddess Sect."

After hearing what he said, Cui Er couldn't help but said, "With free labor available, how could she be willing to let people go? If I were her, I would keep you here to work for the rest of your life."

Tian Lin smiled and said, “Now that the underground space is on track, it doesn’t matter even if I’m not there—it’s just that the monthly output will be a little less.

But I am afraid that in the eyes of the great elder, the harm I am causing here is obviously more serious than the lack of food."

Just as Tian Lin expected, the great elder ran to the underground space early the next morning.

When she came, she did not inform Tian Lin and others, and she only brought one of her own disciples with her.

Although the two of them were not disguised, after the disciples of the Goddess Sect were summoned to worship their ancestor yesterday, these disciples did not run to the underground space.

Those who are still staying in the underground space are all followers of the New Heaven Sect, and almost none of them know the Great Elder.

"Wendao Sect has produced many talented people!"

The great elder said, "Among the young people, I won't mention Zhaixingzi, but this Tian Lin is indeed quite capable. How long has it been since we saw such a bumper harvest since the locust disaster?"

The accompanying female disciple heard this and looked at the endless waves of spikelets.

The grains produced by these ears vary, and most of them are early-maturing and difficult to swallow.

But this hard-to-swallow food is a life-saving treasure in such a disaster year.

"Thanks to Tian Lin's generous teaching, even though no one can perform the 24 solar terms on their own like him, it is still possible to simulate the 24 solar terms with the help of tools or small spells."

The accompanying female disciple said: "Tian Lin has become dispensable now."

“That’s exactly what I want to say—” the great elder said, “If a person can be so generous that he is not afraid of discarding the donkey after it has done its job, it shows that although Tian Lin does not have the heaven-defying talent like Zhaixingzi, he also has his own unique character and mind.

By the way, where are all the magic weapons that can simulate the twenty-four solar terms?"

"In the Temple of the Four Gods."

Upon hearing this, the Great Elder’s spiritual awareness instantly covered the entire underground space.

Under the coverage of her spiritual sense, she could not only see the people working hard in the fields, but also saw that there would be a temple of the Four Gods every few hectares of land.

The joy brought by the abundant harvest of grain did not last long on her face. She frowned and asked, "Why did you build so many temples of the Four Gods?"

Hearing her doubts, the female disciple explained: "Because no one has the strength of Tian Lin, it is impossible for one person to benefit the entire underground space. Therefore, we have to win by quantity - these four temples, in addition to being a place for believers to burn incense and worship the statues, are also used for formations."

After hearing these words, the Great Elder still had a frown on his face.

"Let's go to the temple and have a look."

She turned into a flash of light and arrived in front of a four-god temple below in a flash. Although there were many four-god temples, each one was not large and not prosperous.

There were only four wooden pillars with a straw roof and straw mats on all sides, which were considered the walls of the temple. It was extremely shabby.

The great elder only glanced at the outer wall of the temple and then strode into the temple.

“Although the temple is small, it is very popular.”

Smelling the scent of incense in the room, the great elder looked at the wooden statue of Tian Lin standing behind the incense burner.

No one knows who made the wooden statue, but it looks so lifelike as Tian Lin.

The only difference is that the wooden statue of Tian Lin, wearing a Taoist robe, has nothing to do with the Daoist sect, because the robe is painted with various insects, grass, sun and moon, etc.

At the feet of the wooden statue, there are various Bagua mirrors, whisks, jade bottles and even soul flags.

The Great Elder knew that those who believed in Tian Lin were all Hua Hua Lang of the New Heaven Sect. These people were from wild backgrounds and their origins were extremely complicated.

But the Bagua Mirror is used to control the time, the whisk is used to call the wind and rain, and the Jade Bottle is used to release thunder and lightning. These are all reasonable - what is the function of the Soul Banner?
"In fact, the best way is to clear out all the people in the New Heaven Sect - but don't say that Great Elder Kongwu disagrees. Even if Great Elder Kongwu agrees, we can't let them leave."

Before coming to the underground space, the Great Elder had already visited the Buddhist disciples of the sect.

Those disciples seemed to have no interest in farming. Instead, they believed that by fasting and chanting Buddhist scriptures every day, they would be favored by the Buddha and eventually enter the Pure Land where they would never have to worry about food and drink.

On the contrary, it is the people who believe in the "New Four Gods" and believe that my fate is in my own hands, not in the hands of God. Although these people do not accept the discipline of the Goddess Sect, fortunately they are willing to study farming. In this disaster year, how can the sect be willing to let go of talents who are willing to study farming and have the ability to produce?

"These people will stay in the sect and be strictly disciplined. As for Tian Lin, he cannot be kept in the Goddess Sect."

The Great Elder made a decisive decision, and at this moment, a flash of light appeared in the distance.

When the great elder turned his head, he saw Tian Lin landing outside the temple.

"I guessed that the Great Elder would come to inspect, so I ordered the maids to prepare some wine early in the morning. Please move on, Great Elder."

He stood solemnly at the door, looking extremely respectful.

The Great Elder sighed and said to Tian Lin, "The Goddess Sect is still able to support so many people, and Tian Xiaoyou has made an indelible contribution. I would like to thank Tian Xiaoyou on behalf of the Goddess Sect and the people of Nanzhou."

Tian Lin turned sideways to avoid the great elder's bow.

He did not need the Great Elder to tell him to do anything, and he "examined himself" and said, "Although Tian has made some contributions in farming, it also caused the Goddess Sect to branch out into an alternative cult. I hope the elder does not blame me. How dare Tian accept the elder's thanks?"

"This matter was spontaneously organized by the people below, and has nothing to do with Tian Xiaoyou."

After the great elder finished speaking, he took out a piece of letter from his sleeve: "This is the letter that Elder Xue asked me to pass on to Tian Xiaoyou when I left the Dao Sect. Now that the Goddess Sect has been put on the right track, the sect can no longer force Tian Xiaoyou to stay - well, today I will borrow flowers to offer to Buddha, and I will do it for you!"

She was extremely decisive in her actions, which meant she was forcing Tian Lin to leave.

Fortunately, Tian Lin had anticipated this, so he did not feel dissatisfied.

The meal they had was tasteless and ended in just half an hour.

After Cui'er and the other girl had cleared the dishes, Tian Lin said to the two girls, "Call Mei Xiangu and ask her if she wants to leave with us."
