Chapter 115: Asking the Elders' Will
Wenxin Mountain is not towering, and Wenxin Hall looks very ordinary.
When Tian Lin followed several elders up the mountain and entered the Wenxin Hall, many Wenxin Sect disciples were already standing in the courtyard outside the Wenxin Hall.
The gazes of these disciples of Wenxin Hall always looked past the elders and landed on Tian Lin, as if they wanted to see if Tian Lin had three heads and six arms, and why he could enter Room A and obtain the inheritance of Ancestor Wenxin.
"Feud, go find some clothes for your Junior Brother Tian."
When the headmaster entered the Wenxin Palace, he suddenly stopped at the door and spoke to Zhou Shiqiu in the courtyard.
Zhou Shiqiu stood up and was about to accept the order when Tian Lin said in time: "This junior has new clothes in his storage bag and wants to borrow them from the side hall."
Headmaster Zhou then said to Zhou Shiqiu: "Shiqiu, take your Junior Brother Tian to my quiet room, and then bring him here after he has changed his clothes."
Zhou Shiqiu had not yet stood back, so he immediately accepted the order and asked Tian Lin to go to the side hall.
Headmaster Zhou's quiet room is in a wing at the back of the side hall. It is a small room with only one bed.
Tian Lin's body was not seriously injured in Room A, but his clothes were ragged and his whole body was dirty.
He first fetched water from the well and washed himself casually, then entered the quiet room and changed into the Taoist robe of the Yueyue Sect.
When Zhou Shiqiu led Tian Lin back, he finally held it back for a long time and said:
"Junior Brother Tian, your talent is really good, and you are actually recognized by the Grandmaster."
Tian Lin hurriedly said: "The senior brothers of the Asking Heart Sect are much better than me. I just obtained the inheritance through luck. I am not as good as the senior brothers who can master the Asking the Heart technique by just practicing on their own without borrowing pills."
Zhou Shiqiu was not good at words, and his compliment just now came from the bottom of his heart, but Tian Lin's polite words made him not know how to answer for a moment.
Fortunately, the master's quiet room was not far from the Wenxin Hall, and Tian Lin quickly returned to the Wenxin Hall.
He glanced at the more than twenty Wenxin Sect disciples still standing outside the Wenxin Hall, and felt a little confused. He didn't understand why these Wenxin Sect disciples were summoned.
Tian Lin's thoughts kept changing, but he did not delay entering the Wenxin Hall to pay homage with Headmaster Zhou and several Wenxin Sect elders.
As soon as he finished the ceremony, Headmaster Zhou stood up from his seat, walked to the door of Wenxin Hall, and said to more than 20 Wenxin Sect disciples under the stone steps:
"Ten years have passed since you, Senior Brother Shixue, received the inheritance, and the Wenxin Sect's Room A has gained a new ancestor."
When the people in the audience heard this, a disciple stood up and said:
"Disciple believes that although Junior Brother Tian is good, he is still slightly inferior to Senior Brother Shixue. As soon as Senior Brother Shixue leaves room A, his art of questioning people's minds will be perfected, and this Junior Brother Tian -"
When he tilted his head and looked at Tian Lin, Headmaster Zhou answered on behalf of Tian Lin:
"You, Junior Brother Tian, have reached a state of perfection as soon as they step out of the A-size room.
It's just that he has not mastered the art of questioning, so he lacks spiritual awareness and cannot use the art of interrogating at will. Otherwise, you will not be his opponent. "
As soon as this statement came out, the people in the courtyard were somewhat in an uproar.
Someone stood up and questioned: "Since he is a disciple of the Yaoyue Sect, even if he practices the art of interrogation, he is not a descendant of my Zhou family after all. How can the spirit of the ancestor in heaven show mercy to an outsider?"
This may seem unreasonable, but the art of asking the mind is everything in the Wenxin Sect, and the inheritance of the Class A room is both a reward and an honor.
When Liu Xuanfeng entered the Wenxin Sect and obtained the inheritance, the people of the Wenxin Sect felt extremely ashamed.
Now that Tian Lin is here, not only has he once again obtained the inheritance that most of the Zhou family cannot get, but he has also brought the inheritance to a perfect state in one fell swoop.
Disciples would like to ask, is the art of asking the mind a family tradition of the Wenxin Sect?
Does Room A belong to the Zhou family or to his master and disciple of the Liu family?
How could any outsider get more than them?
"Now that Tian Lin has been recognized by the ancestor, he can no longer be considered an outsider to our Wenxin Sect."
After Master Zhou said this, he looked at Tian Lin again.
Tian Lin couldn't speak at this time, so he could only bow respectfully.
Headmaster Zhou ignored Tian Lin, turned his head again and looked at the disciples in the courtyard and said:
"I have summoned you this time not only to tell you that Tian Lin has been recognized and inherited by the ancestors. But I also want to tell you that the stone carvings left by the ancestors are cracked."
The people in the audience looked at each other, and Tian Lin was also a little confused.
Headmaster Zhou turned around and looked at the woman in white, who then uncovered the red cloth on the table.
Under the red cloth, a mountain-shaped stone sculpture in the shape of Taoist Mountain was instantly revealed.
As the woman in white came out of the palace holding the mountain-shaped stone carving that had been split into two halves, the disciples who saw the stone carving exploded instantly, and Tian Lin also looked at the mountain-shaped stone carving on the passing plate in surprise.
Tian Lin had seen this mountain-shaped stone sculpture in a fantasy world. It was brought out by Zhou Qing from the Taoist Sect.
It’s just that Tian Lin didn’t expect that one day he would be able to see the things in the illusion a thousand years ago in reality.
"The mountain-shaped stone sculpture is broken. Could it be related to Junior Brother Tian?"
The disciples in the courtyard had some vague guesses. Although they were asking Headmaster Zhou, they glared at Tian Lin fiercely.
Tian Lin turned his head and looked at Headmaster Zhou, trying to figure out Headmaster Zhou's purpose.
I heard Headmaster Zhou say: "When the ancestor of the Wenxin Sect left the house named A, he also left a will -
Anyone who enters the Wenxin chamber and causes the Wenxin stone sculpture to break is a person chosen by heaven and should immediately take over the post of head teacher. All disciples and elders should assist with all their heart and must not disobey orders——
It has been over a thousand years since the will of the ancestor was established. During these thousand years, there have been quite a few people who have inherited the legacy, but no one has been able to break the stone sculpture.
When Liu Xuanfeng came to my Wenxin Sect, he asked the previous headmaster, "Since your Wenxin Sect disciples cannot break the 'Wenxin Stone Sculpture', why not find an outsider to try?" So the previous headmaster agreed to let Liu Xuanfeng enter Room A.
Since then, Room A has not prohibited outsiders from entering. The opening of Room A, in addition to allowing the disciples of the sect to obtain the legacy, also has the intention of selecting the chosen one. "
Master Zhou spoke for a long time, so that the people below were a little stunned.
Tian Lin was also shocked and looked at the elders beside him.
These elders of the Questioning Heart Sect had no expression on their faces, and Tian Lin could not tell what they were thinking from their expressions.
But the more than 20 disciples of the Questioning Heart Sect in the courtyard did not hide their anger, doubt and shock on their faces.
"I am a disciple of the Yaoyue Sect. How can I be the master of the Questioning Heart Sect? Moreover, my cultivation is low, so what qualifications do I have to command the senior brothers in the sect? Please think twice. "
Tian Lin was telling the truth, but Master Zhou ignored Tian Lin, and said to the disciples of the Questioning Heart Sect below:
"Now that the Questioning Heart Stone Sculpture has been broken and the Chosen One has appeared, do you think you should obey the old ancestor's last words? "
The disciples of the Questioning Heart Sect in the audience looked at each other, and some of them blushed.
Of course, they were unwilling to let Tian Lin, an outsider who appeared out of nowhere, be the head of their Zhou family.
But, since this was the will of their ancestors, how could they dare to stand up and say "no"?
"This matter has been the top priority of my Questioning Heart Sect for thousands of years. You all go back and think about it carefully. Wait three days and come to the Questioning Heart Hall to talk. "
Headmaster Zhou did not let these disciples stand up and answer immediately, but spoke decisively.
These Zhou family members did not dare to disobey the order, and all bowed below, and then went down the mountain in twos and threes.
"Senior, I am of ordinary talent. Even if I have been lucky enough to obtain the perfect inheritance of the Questioning Heart Technique, I really dare not covet the position of the headmaster. "
Tian Lin still remembered the hateful and repulsive eyes of the Zhou family disciples when they left. How could he dare to take the position of the headmaster?
But the headmaster Zhou ignored Tian Lin, and turned to the woman in white and said: "Fu Nian, you take nephew Tian to rest in Funiu Mountain, and do not allow the disciples of the sect to disturb him."
After receiving the order, the woman in white glanced at Tian Lin and strode out of the Heart-Searching Hall.
The woman in white seemed to be strolling in the garden, but every step she took was a distance of seven or eight feet.
Tian Lin had to use the wind-walking technique to follow closely, but just as he caught up with her, the woman's speed was a few points faster.
Tian Lin chased for only half a quarter of an hour, and seeing that he could not catch up, he simply slowed down.
The woman in white in front had to stop and turned around, glaring at Tian Lin and said: "Why don't you chase me?"
"The junior just left the A-shaped room, and his true energy is not enough. How can I compare with the senior's abundant true energy and pure power? ”
Now, he doesn’t have to worry about insufficient true energy when performing the Wind Walking Technique.
He just realized that the woman in white was deliberately making things difficult for him, so he just gave in.
The woman in white sneered and said, “With just this little ability, you dare to covet the position of the head of my Wenxin Sect? I think you’d better go back to Yaoyue Sect as soon as possible.”
Tian Lin didn’t comment and walked slowly to the woman in white.
The woman in white frowned and grabbed Tian Lin’s shoulders.
She tapped her toes lightly and instantly crossed the stream and went straight up to another hillside in the distance.
Tian Lin only saw a few wooden farmhouses on the hillside.
Before he could see who lived in the farmhouse, the woman in white had thrown Tian Lin down from mid-air.
The Wind Walking Technique is just a body movement, which can move with the help of wind, but cannot fly in the air.
The woman in white stepped on the flying sword and suddenly threw Tian Lin from How could Tian Lin not be frightened when he was thrown from a height of 70 to 80 meters?
He was in mid-air, performing the Wind Walking Technique while adjusting his center of gravity for landing.
Finally, after two somersaults in mid-air, he stepped directly on the rubble on the roof of the farmhouse.
Tian Lin crushed several pieces of rubble, and the noise directly scared Senior Brother Zhao and Han Yue in the house.
When they ran out of the house, Tian Lin finally stood firm on the roof.
Tian Lin on the roof clasped his fists in the air and said to the woman in white: "Thank you for seeing me off."
The woman in white was also a little surprised. She didn't expect that Tian Lin not only stood firm, but also didn't get hurt.
She also felt uninterested, so she just said coldly in mid-air:
"You should stay in Funiu Mountain for the next three days. If you dare to cause trouble, don't blame me for being ruthless. "
Senior Brother Zhao and Han Yue didn't know that Tian Lin was going to be the headmaster, so they didn't know where the anger of the woman in white came from.
Then they heard Senior Brother Zhao say happily under the eaves: "Senior Brother Tian, you finally came out, and finally the people from the Wenxin Sect didn't lie to me."
Tian Lin turned over and jumped down from the roof, and asked Senior Brother Zhao: "Where are Senior Brother Zhong and Junior Brother Jiang?"
"Senior Brother Zhong was locked in the room by Junior Sister Han, and Junior Brother Jiang went back to Yaoyue Sect."
Tian Lin followed Senior Brother Zhao into the main hall, and saw that there were still a few dishes on the table in the main hall.
Senior Brother Zhao quickly pulled a stool and said: "Senior Brother, you came at the right time. These dishes were made by Junior Sister Han. Come and try Junior Sister Han's cooking skills."
Tian Lin glanced at the meat and vegetables on the table, and looked at Han Yue in surprise.
He knew that Han Yue was a descendant of a clan family, and all the descendants of clan families were only concerned with sword practice, and it was unlikely that they would go to the kitchen to compete with the servants for work.
"I lived in the Zhong family when I was very young, and the servants of the Zhong family bullied me at that time, so I had the experience of cooking."
This sounded a bit unbelievable, but Tian Lin could not ask about other people's pain points, and he was not interested in Han Yue's tragic past.
He only asked: "Why, did the Questioning Heart Sect also deliberately not send you food?"
Although this sentence was still on the "food", it instantly shifted the focus from Han Yue.
I heard from Senior Brother Zhao: "That's not the case. Although the Questioning Heart Sect doesn't like us, it's not so petty.
Maybe it's their habit. In short, the Questioning Heart Sect doesn't have a kitchen. Whether it's the elders or the disciples, they all cook for themselves."
Tian Lin also noticed the difference between the Questioning Heart Sect and the Yaoyue Sect.
The inner disciples of the Yaoyue Sect practice on Yuechi Mountain all year round and don't come down the mountain easily.
The elders of each sub-peak often stay in the Taoist temple to enjoy themselves, leaving all trivial matters to the menial disciples.
The Wenxin Sect is different. There are only two or three mountains where people live in the Wenxin Sect. There are no menial disciples or inner and outer disciples.
Moreover, the Wenxin Sect is not very populous. The more than 20 disciples called into the Wenxin Hall today are probably the number of people gathered by all the disciples in the sect.
"Junior Sister Han's cooking skills are really good. It looks like Senior Brother Zhong is in for a treat."
Tian Lin smiled and tasted a piece of food on the table. He then turned the topic to Zhong Wuji and asked Han Yue, "How is Senior Brother Zhong doing now?"
Han Yue had a worried look on her face: "His hysteria has become more and more severe. He has to be tied up with the rope made by the sect to prevent him from running around. It's a pity that the Questioning Heart Sect refused to save him. I don't have any good ideas now."
Senior Brother Zhao frowned and said:
"It's all because Elder He has a violent temper. Now that he has killed the elder of the Questioning Heart Sect, it's no wonder that the Questioning Heart Sect wants to detain Junior Sister Han and Senior Brother Zhong——
The current situation is whether Junior Brother Jiang can get the formula of the Questioning Heart Pill from Elder Xiao? If Junior Brother Jiang's things don't go well, let alone treating Senior Brother Zhong, it will be difficult for us to escape from the Questioning Heart Sect."
Only Tian Lin knew that Elder Xiao didn't have the formula of the Questioning Heart Pill.
Therefore, Junior Brother Jiang was destined to return empty-handed when he went back to invite Yue Sect this time.
Tian Lin's plan was that when Junior Brother Jiang returned empty-handed and the people of Wenxin Sect questioned him, he would "recommend himself" to go to Yue Sect to "ask" for the formula of Wenxin Pill.
But now things have changed. The ancestor of Wenxin Sect has a will, and this will involves the position of the head of Wenxin Sect.
If he wants to get out of Wenxin Sect again, he will have to leave it to fate.
