Chapter 509 Punishment Result
Chapter 509 Punishment Result
Mei Xiangu's personality is not likable. She is arrogant and uncommunicative towards strangers.
She likes to be sarcastic towards people she knows, which leads to her not being able to make many true friends.
Fortunately, Tian Lin had always had a good character, and he also understood her personality, so he didn't take Mei Xiangu's ridicule seriously.
"The secret realm can lead to another world. It was Elder Yu who told us. The reason why the sect moved into this secret realm was also the result of Elder Yu's suggestion."
After listening to Tao Li's explanation, Tian Lin asked him, "Besides the message, did my master leave any other messages? Or, does the sect know where my master is now?"
Tao Li shook his head and said:
"Elder Yu is a mysterious person who is hard to find. He is the only one who has contacted the sect, but the sect has been unable to contact him. Therefore, apart from receiving messages from Elder Yu, the sect is unaware of the rest."
Tian Lin frowned and couldn't help but ask, "So, the sect only received a letter that looked like it was from Elder Yu? But there's no way to verify whether this letter was actually written by Elder Yu himself?"
Tao Li smiled: "There is probably no one in this world who can impersonate Elder Yu's notes and leave a message using his name! So the contents of the letter cannot be false, you must be worrying too much."
What is Elder Yu's cultivation level? This is not only a question in Tian Lin's mind, even the elders of the Dao Sect cannot explain it clearly.
Thousands of years ago, Elder Yu had already reached the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm. Now, thousands of years have passed, and it is not impossible to say that Elder Yu has reached the realm of an immortal.
In short, no matter whether people are close to Elder Yu, distant from him, jealous of him, or hate him, they all have no doubt about his strength.
Therefore, not only did they not believe that anyone could impersonate Elder Yu to do things, they also firmly believed Elder Yu's words that the secret realm connected to another world.
"Maybe I'm overthinking it!"
Tian Lin said this, but he always felt something strange in his heart.
The impression Elder Yu gave Tian Lin was actually that he was somewhat cold and heartless.
For example, Patriarch Yao Yue wanted to be an inner sect disciple all his life.
But this old man who ate feces, kowtowed countless times to Elder Yu and was never disrespectful to him, did not receive much love from Elder Yu.
If Elder Ruoyu was willing, the so-called Taoist rules that separated immortals and mortals forever would not stop Patriarch Yaoyue from becoming an inner sect disciple.
Unfortunately, until Patriarch Yao Yue passed away, Elder Yu never helped this disciple fulfill his dream.
Instead, it was only after Patriarch Yaoyue used his corpse to ring the bell for thousands of years that he barely won a promise from Elder Yu: that is, to find a descendant of Patriarch Yaoyue from the Yaoyue Sect in Yulong Continent and accept him as a registered disciple.
Although Tian Lin was fortunate enough to become Elder Yu's registered disciple, he has not received any teaching from Elder Yu until now.
He himself felt that his perception and judgment might be too arbitrary!
But Tian Lin always felt that taking in Patriarch Yao Yue and himself was just something that Elder Yu did conveniently.
Although Elder Yu helped Patriarch Yaoyue and himself to enter the Wendao Sect, it was like a fisherman casually throwing a loach he disliked into a small pond nearby. It was just a casual act of leisure. How could he have developed feelings for the loach?
Similarly, the Daoist sect was not founded by Elder Yu. Strictly speaking, Elder Yu was just a guest official of the Daoist sect.
It was just like when Tian Lin was a guest of the Tong family, he just treated the Tong family as an inn where he could rest temporarily and stop at any time.
Tian Lin was not sad until the Tong family was destroyed - why did he care about the life or death of the Tong family?
Therefore, Tian Lin doubted whether Elder Yu, who never returned to the sect, would care about the life and death of Dao Sect?
"Since Junior Brother Tao knows my master, then we are indeed closely connected. Unfortunately, Junior Brother Tao is hoping to contact my master through me, but I'm afraid he is doomed to be disappointed."
Tian Lin admitted that he couldn't contact Elder Yu either, so Tao Li wouldn't waste his efforts. But Tao Li said, "Brother, don't misunderstand! Although I want to meet Elder Yu again and thank him in person, I also really want to ask Brother Tian for advice.
I have heard that Senior Brother Tian is good at the solar terms. I am a plant spirit. I am more interested in the solar terms than human monks. "
Tian Lin didn't know whether what Tao Li said was true or false, but as long as they were discussing the Dao, there was nothing wrong with that.
Sure enough, in the next two or three days, Taoli discussed the solar terms with Tianlin.
Not only did the students benefit a lot, but Tian Lin himself also gained a lot.
The next morning, the Yuanying elder who brought Tian Lin here did not come to the door. Instead, it was Elder Xue who knocked on Tian Lin's door.
Seeing Tian Lin reading a book in the room, he couldn't help laughing: "Is it amazing that you still have the mood to read? Aren't you worried about your situation at all?"
Tian Lin said: "From the moment I learned that my master sent a letter to the sect, I knew that the sect would not do anything to me."
Elder Xue nodded and said, "Yes, since the sect is sure that Elder Yu is still in this world, they dare not do anything to you, their disciple. It can be said that as long as you don't do anything that is outrageous to both humans and gods, the sect will protect you. Not to mention, you just killed a member of the Tang family's side branch?"
"But we should give an explanation to the other disciples of the sect—"
After all, Tian Lin killed someone, and the person he killed was a fellow disciple.
This kind of thing is a taboo in any sect.
"The instructions are that Elder Qu must face the wall for five years and not go out—"
Tian Lin was stunned for a moment, and soon understood the reason for this result.
That Elder Qu was the one who brought Tian Lin and Mei Xiangu here.
In addition to guarding the teleportation array in and out of the secret realm, the elder's duty also includes supervising the disciples who guard the teleportation array.
The sect didn't want to punish Tian Lin for killing his fellow disciple, so they had to say that the murdered fellow disciple was an evil spirit in disguise. In this way, Tian Lin was not only innocent, but also meritorious!
But the fellow disciple who was murdered was in an important position guarding the teleportation array, how could the evil spirit Qiao Zhuang disguise himself and sneak in?
It must be that Elder Qu failed to perform his duties conscientiously, and was taken advantage of by the evil spirit.
Therefore, if the sect does not punish Tian Lin, it will naturally punish Elder Qu.
"Wouldn't this be unfair to Elder Qu?"
Although he had the support of Elder Yu, Tian Lin felt that punishing a Nascent Soul elder in this way would probably make Elder Qu angry and the other elders dissatisfied.
After all, those elders who had cultivated to the Nascent Soul stage with great difficulty could not enjoy the feeling of being superior. If the sect dealt with them for a Jindan cultivator, they would only feel that their Nascent Soul cultivation was not respected.
"Don't worry! The sect is openly punishing Elder Qu, but in reality, Elder Qu has long wanted to retreat to break through. So this punishment is just an excuse for him to retreat.
Moreover, the spiritual stones and elixirs that Elder Qu needed to break through from the early Nascent Soul stage to the middle stage were all borne by the sect. What is there for him to be unhappy about?"
Tian Lin nodded after hearing this. This way, Elder Qu would not become his enemy, and the other elders would not think of him as arrogant and domineering.
The only ones who were unhappy were probably the family of the deceased Tang family member.
