Chapter 539 Giving Gifts
Chapter 539 Giving Gifts
Senior Sister Yu was immobilized by the talisman, but there was still a risk of her coming back to life.
Tian Lin grabbed her right hand and forcibly extracted the corpse qi from her body.
The old villager's face darkened, but just as he called out the word "official", Tian Lin spoke first: "I will examine the remaining mummies!"
At this point, how could Tian Lin not know the purpose of Lao Cunzheng's leading people to perform an autopsy?
Not only does he want to kill people, but he also wants to resurrect the mummies.
"Sir, this doesn't fit with what you said earlier."
Tian Lin didn't waste time talking to the old village chief. He said, "I change my orders every day, but so what? Do you still dare not obey?"
The reason why Tian Lin's attitude was so tough was that he could not possibly follow the old village chief's wishes.
If the mummies in the coffins in front of them were to come back to life, they would be powerless to resist.
Fortunately, the people do not fight against the officials - even if Laocunzheng and others were evil spirits and were stronger than Tian Lin, they really did not dare to refute Tian Lin anymore.
After that, Tian Lin spent more than an hour to look through the mummy in the coffin.
After more than an hour, the sky had completely darkened.
The old village chief knew that the plan had failed, but his face showed no emotion. He said to Tian Lin respectfully, "I will come to your house to present the gift you want tomorrow morning. It's getting late now, please go to bed early."
Tian Lin looked at the sky and brushed off the white hair on his body.
Even with the entry, his clothes were already covered in mildew and fungus because he had inhaled too much corpse qi.
Tian Lin glanced at Senior Sister Yu. Although Senior Sister Yu was not covered with white hair at the moment, her face was ashen and it was obvious that she had become stiff.
God knows what will happen if we leave her here?
Tian Lin rolled up his sleeves, letting the strong wind carry Senior Sister Yu towards the old night watchman's guest room.
Everyone was waiting for Tian Lin to show up. This time, Mei Xiangu and Wang Yanyu were guarding the guest room door, so no one did anything weird.
In short, Tian Lin successfully brought Senior Sister Yu's body into the guest room.
Everyone's attention was quickly drawn to Senior Sister Yu's body. Everyone had different expressions. Then Mei Xiangu said, "It seems that she is not an official."
Tian Lin nodded and said, "She absorbed too much corpse energy. The reason she died was not because of her Bai Shen identity."
He recounted his experiences of yesterday and today, and also shared his own speculations.
Zhou Ting frowned and said, "So, the way these evil villagers kill people is to use those mummies to poison us and kill us?"
Tian Lin nodded and said, “And I also discovered a phenomenon, that is, the clothes of those mummies are actually mostly similar to those of the villagers.
Although these mummies have been around for too long and no longer look like what they once were, I would venture to guess that these so-called mummies are actually the evil bodies of these villagers.”
Zhou Ting heard this and said, "What are the evil villagers going to do? Are they going to use us and then resurrect their corpses?"
Tian Lin said with an unpleasant expression: "It's hard to tell - but if this is their intention, then there must be a resurrected corpse in the village."
Zhou Ting was puzzled, because according to Tian Lin, after he absorbed the corpse qi, he did not give the mummies a chance to revive.
In this way, although Lao Cunzheng's plan was good, it actually went bankrupt after encountering Tian Lin.
But he soon understood what Tian Lin meant.
Because the only person who could absorb the corpse qi of the mummy and not die was Tian Lin. Before Tian Lin, Senior Brother Zuo and his group had already entered the village. So how were Senior Brother Zuo and his group? Judging from the disciples of the Wendao Sect who had arrived earlier, there should have been one or two corpses in Taiping Village that had completed the ritual and successfully revived, right?
"Now all these ideas are just speculations, and everything needs to be verified. The most urgent task now is to completely distinguish who among us is a commoner and who is an official."
Everyone looked at Tian Lin, then turned their eyes to Wang Yanyu and Mei Xiangu.
According to Tian Lin's previous promise, Zhou Ting would send one of his sisters, Sister Yu, out to verify whether or not she was an official.
Now that Senior Sister Yu is dead, it’s time for Tian Lin to fulfill his promise.
"In fact, there is no need for Senior Sister Wang and Senior Sister Mei to come forward. They can still verify who is a commoner and who is an official."
Tian Lin told the story of how he asked the old village chief to send gifts, and everyone in the room fell silent.
After a long while, a male disciple could not help but ask, "Junior Brother Tian, you must have thought of this method a long time ago, right?"
The implication is, since there is such a good idea, why let Senior Sister Yu die?
"I just casually discussed this with Laocunzheng today, and I never thought it would be successful. Who would have thought that it would actually be successful in the end?"
Of course, it was impossible for Tian Lin to admit that he had already thought of a plan, otherwise the charge of deliberately killing Senior Sister Yu would be too obvious.
Fortunately, no one present had a grudge against Tian Lin because of Senior Sister Yu’s death.
Because Tian Lin was the only person present who could survive after absorbing the corpse qi - Tian Lin's role was obviously much greater than that of Senior Sister Yu.
In order to survive, everyone would of course prefer to be close to Tian Lin rather than Senior Sister Yu.
At the same time, the world was completely dark. There was a strong wind outside, and the door of the old watchman next door banged again.
Suddenly, there was a loud bang of a door breaking, followed by the old night watchman's screams.
Tian Lin looked at Zhou Ting standing aside, and saw Zhou Ting nodded and admitted: "I found a way to cover the door gods on the door panel, so now the old night watchman's door can no longer stop the invasion of those soldiers."
Tian Lin couldn't help but ask, "Without the old night watchman, how can we control the day and night?"
Zhou Ting raised the clapper and gong in his hand and said, "I have stolen all the things of the old night watchman, and I have just tested the effect of this clapper and gong. As long as we strike it and provide it with enough spiritual power, we can change the sky from day to night and from night to day."
Tian Lin's heart moved when he heard this. He felt that this gong was too amazing that it could actually control time.
As if seeing through Tian Lin's thoughts, Zhou Ting smiled and said, "I guess this thing is only useful here. Once you leave the village, it will probably be useless."
As she spoke, she raised the clapper and struck it.
As the clappers sounded, the gong and clappers seemed to drain the vital energy from Zhou Ting's body.
His face turned pale, and his whole expression instantly became depressed.
However, a ray of sunlight was visible through the night sky outside the house. Everyone looked out through the window lattice and saw the bright sun hanging high in the sky.
I don’t know if it’s because he’s too excited, or because he consumed too much inner energy, but Zhou Ting’s face is flushed.
He smiled and said, "Sure enough, with this thing, we can control day and night. If we encounter danger during the day, we can change it to night by striking the gong. If we encounter danger at night, we can also strike the gong to change it to day."
Tian Lin didn't say anything, but looked towards the door.
I heard footsteps outside the house, and the old village chief said, "Gentlemen, I have come to give you a gift. Please open the door."
