Chapter 553 The bird is gone and the bow is hidden
"The Four Directions Jie Di is the guardian deity of Buddhism. Master Kong Wu Fa is fine, as he is a disciple of Buddhism and has a cassock. How can Zhai Xing Zi, as a Taoist, ask for help from the guardian deity of Buddhism?"
There was some resentment in Mei Xiangu's words, not out of jealousy, but because she couldn't stand Zhaixingzi showing off.
In fact, although she expressed contempt in her words, she did not dare to underestimate Zhaixingzi from the bottom of her heart.
She believed that since Zhaixingzi dared to enter Taiping Village and asked the Four Jie Di to protect him, he must have a purpose.
Sure enough, after Zhaixingzi finished shouting, maces suddenly fell outside the village.
But when the mace fell, Buddha's light suddenly lit up from all directions.
I saw four giants like Rakshasa standing tall.
The four giants stretched out their hands, one caught the mace, one protected Zhaixingzi and others below. The other two reached out into the darkness -
The mace seemed to know that it was impossible to succeed, and after being blocked by the giant, it withdrew its hand and did not attack Zhaixingzi and others again.
Zhai Xingzi and others took advantage of this opportunity and went straight out of Taiping Village.
"Junior Brother Tian, Junior Sister Mei, why aren't you leaving now?"
While Tian Lin and others were watching, Zhou Ting suddenly appeared.
Tian Lin and others no longer hesitated and followed Zhou Ting closely, and Zhou Ting also left when the other sect disciples left.
The group left Taiping Village. Zhou Ting, Tian Lin and others couldn't help but look back at this seemingly ordinary village.
Unlike the reinforcements from other sects that came later, Taiping Village was an extremely dangerous and desperate place in the eyes of them.
Several people had always 'firmly believed' that they could walk out of it alive, but it was not until they actually walked out of Taiping Village alive that they felt like they had survived a calamity.
"To survive in this place, it all depends on luck. Otherwise, even if a Nascent Soul cultivator comes in, he may not be able to leave alive."
Zhou Ting nodded in agreement, and after a while he said to Tian Lin and the others, "Fortunately we all survived, and Senior Brother Zhaixingzi was very interested in Taiping Village and even agreed to let us rest for seven days."
Before he finished telling the good news, Mei Xiangu said angrily, "What do you mean? It sounds like if we hadn't made a contribution, we wouldn't even have time to go back to the sect and rest?"
Zhou Ting said: "Junior sister, you don't know what happened during this period, so you don't know the current situation of the Dao Sect."
He said, "I just asked a few of my friends in the same sect. During this period, many true disciples of the Daoist Sect have died, not to mention the inner disciples who have died. Because the secret realm is too dangerous, the more true disciples who die, the more the remaining true disciples are needed to contribute.
In addition, the sect has also issued an announcement. After the sect finds the passage to another world, they must enter the other world according to their merit points."
Mei Xiangu raised her eyebrows, and Tian Lin asked, "From what you said, could it be that we have found the passage to another world, and there are still quotas for entering another world?" Zhou Ting smiled and said, "Junior brother, what you asked is strange. Even if you use the teleportation array, you can't teleport too many people at once. What's more, this teleportation is not just a short distance from Beihuang to Cangzhou;
Long-distance teleportation is inherently unstable. Not only is there a limit on the number of people that can be teleported at one time, but there are also requirements for the frequency of teleportation. So if you want to reach another world safely, there will of course be a limit on the number of people that can be teleported.
Moreover, even if it is to teleport from Cangzhou to Beihuang, it would cost a lot of spiritual stones. And what we want to do is to cross the starry sky to another star field, which will consume an astronomical amount of resources. Where does the Dao Sect have so many spiritual stones to provide teleportation materials for so many people? "
Having said this, he paused again and continued:
"But Junior Brother Tian and Junior Sister Mei don't have to worry. You and I have made great contributions this time. From now on, we just need to complete the tasks step by step. With our status as true disciples, there will be a place for you and me in the teleportation quota no matter what."
Tian Lin showed no joy on his face after hearing this, because he was not alone at that moment.
"After you have accomplished your mission, can you take your sword with you when you leave?"
After hearing what Tian Lin said, Zhou Ting looked at Tian Lin in surprise and said, "The teleportation quota is so precious, how could the sect waste it on a servant? Besides, as long as it can be teleported to another world, where can't you buy a sword?"
Mei Xiangu knew that Tian Lin was worried about Cui Er and her sister, so she asked on Tian Lin's behalf, "If you have enough merit points, can you buy a spot for Bao Jian as well?"
Zhou Tingzhen was puzzled by Tian Lin and Mei Xiangu's questions and thoughts, and just thought that the two were joking.
The teleportation quota is so precious, and merit points are not so easy to earn. Everyone is not enough to protect themselves, so who would waste merit points on servants?
However, although he disagreed in his heart, he still replied: "The sect only stipulates that the ranking is based on merit points, and it does not prohibit the private transfer of merit points. Therefore, as long as the junior brothers and sisters have extra merit points, they can find a way to transfer them to their own swords."
Tian Lin frowned and said, "If merit points can be transferred privately, how can we prevent someone from bullying others and forcing others to give up their merit points?"
"Perhaps the sect has its own way to prevent this matter."
Zhou Ting did not travel with Tian Lin and others afterwards, but the distance from here to the Wendao Sect was not far, so Tian Lin and Mei Xiangu quickly returned to Hulu Peak.
When the two returned to the peak, they did not see Elder Xue. According to Cui'er, Elder Xue and the Taoist boy also had tasks to complete and had not returned at this time.
At this time, there was no one in the forest of Hulu Peak to discuss with him, so he could only say to Mei Xiangu:
"If the sect does not prohibit people from trading privately, then there will be endless cases of people framing each other for merit points. What's worse, there will probably be people who specialize in doing this kind of business. After all, it's better to take merit points from others than to risk your own lives.
Therefore, when going on missions in the future, you must find someone you know well. Otherwise, let alone completing the mission, you may even be stabbed in the back during the mission, which is also a common occurrence. "
Mei Xiangu nodded and said, "The two of us are alone in the Dao Sect, and there are too few people we can trust. There is only Ju Yunhai, who refuses to cooperate with us."
Tian Lin heard this and said, "We are all alone, and Senior Brother Ju probably doesn't have many friends he can trust. In that case, let's contact him again."
He asked Cui'er to send a letter to Ju Yunhai, and said to Mei Xiangu: "I think the sect is not unaware that the people below will kill each other for merit points, and the reason for leaving this loophole is to let those children of the aristocratic families take advantage of it."
Indeed, the current sects are controlled by the aristocratic families. How could the aristocratic families be willing to give up the quota to outsiders?
But with this loophole, they could not only force those outsiders to kill evil spirits for them, but also take the merit points back from these people and distribute them to those disciples who did not have enough merit points.
