Chapter 175: Bad Intentions
Early the next morning, when Tian Lin took Yu'er to Shenxiantang, he met Gao He and his wife who had been busy all day and night.
These two foundation-building monks, who had always been radiant, now looked a little pale and looked a little tired.
Even so, Tian Lin could still see that the two of them seemed to be in good mood.
"Fellow Daoist Tian, how was your harvest last night?"
After Gao He asked, Tian Lin said: "Well, there are so many people now, we can't hunt sea fish, and we can't catch wandering souls either."
Gao He saw Tian Lin walking away and couldn't help but said: "This guy doesn't know how to behave. I handed him all the words, but he didn't even ask how much we gained."
Cai Shu coldly snorted: "Isn't it good to keep silent and make a fortune? Why are you showing off to him? Besides, I have wasted a lot of pills this night, and I still don't know how to get back my money."
When they returned home, Tian Lin had already brought Yu'er to Shenxiantang.
Yu'er was a little shocked when she saw the densely packed boats moored on the coast and the people on the shore rubbing their toes and shouting about buying and selling.
She turned her head and looked at the Hebosuo not far away. At this time, there was a Tongjia's small shop next to the Hebosuo.
That small shop obviously sells things like talismans and elixirs.
"Master, you are right. These monks who go to Shenxiantang to capture wandering souls consume a large amount of elixirs and talismans every day.
Even our Tong family's Duobao Pavilion has opened a small shop here, which shows the benefits. "
After Yu'er finished speaking, she quickly frowned and said:
"Sir, can you buy talismans and elixirs cheaply from other places?
If you buy less, others may not be willing to sell you cheaply. If you buy too much, some things may not be sold. Although I never learned how to do business in my family, I still know that there is no business that is guaranteed to make a profit without losing money. "
Tian Lin saw that she had entered the role and said:
"I will figure out a way to sell the talisman paper and elixir. Whether you can sell it depends on your ability. You will look around today to familiarize yourself with the prices of elixirs and talisman paper. In two days, I will sell the talisman paper elixir." I’ll give you the medicine.”
After he finished speaking, he took off his waist badge and gave it to Yu'er:
"If someone makes trouble, take out this sign. This is Shenxiantang after all, and my Tong family's offerings should be somewhat thin."
Yu'er took over the badge and watched Tian Lin go to sea.
She has the sixth level of Qi refining. Normally, no one would attack her in the busy city.
Fortunately, she is a Qi practitioner, otherwise Tian Lin would not dare to leave the matter of selling things to her.
As the Great Elder said, today's Shenxian Pond is a mixed bag of fish and dragons, and the Tong family alone cannot control it.
——
After that, for three consecutive days, not only did the number of people in Shenxiantang not decrease, but there were also signs of an increase in Shaoxing opera.
In the past three days, in addition to those who caught wandering souls in Shenxian Pond, another profession such as corpse fishermen was born.
Most of what these people hold in their hands is not a talisman flying sword, but a large copy made of thousand-year-old wood.
It may be difficult for this big man to go to Shenxiantang to save people, but it is not difficult to pick up people's belongings from the sea.
Among the many people who retrieve corpses, Tian Lin is also famous.
He was the first person to use a paddle to fish out the remains of a body that fell into the sea in front of everyone.
He was also the first monk who built his foundation and was not in a hurry to catch wandering souls, but specialized in salvaging corpses.
However, other people's impression of Tian Lin is not bad, because Tian Lin will not intentionally kill people and collect corpses.
He even came to the rescue several times when someone was injured by the wandering spirit.
As for Tian Lin's colleagues, like vultures eyeing carrion, they would hang around other monks who went to sea, waiting for others to die so that they could fish out their corpses.
"Master, this business of selling things is really good. Yesterday we made a net profit of more than fifty low-grade spiritual stones."
Yu'er had a smile on her face, obviously quite satisfied with yesterday's harvest.
But how can dozens of low-grade spiritual stones satisfy him?
This is not as profitable as fishing.
"You sell these things, and I will go to the south to have a look later."
Tian Lin handed a storage bag to Yu'er, but Yu'er advised:
"There have been night wandering spirits in the south recently. Since I have no intention of competing for the position of Shuiyun Sect's outer disciple, there is no need to go to the south to retrieve corpses.
Besides, the corpse of the foundation-building monk might not be that easy to retrieve. "
Tian Lin did not answer her words, but looked not far away and said: "The woman over there is Xiang'er, what is she doing here?"
Tian Lin met Xiang'er once when he went out in Pingyang City. She was also a beautiful beauty.
It's a pity that although Xiang'er is beautiful, she is not liked by Cai Xiangu.
Cai Shu always thought that Xiang'er was a foxy girl, so she took extra precautions against Xiang'er.
Tian Lin remembered that when Cui'er whispered to Yu'er the day before yesterday, she complained that Xiang'er ridiculed them for being pawns of traffickers.
So when Tian Lin saw that Xiang'er was also setting up a stall today, Tian Lin felt very strange.
"This matter - this matter may be because Cai Xiangu saw you earning spiritual stones, so she became jealous and wanted to follow your example and let the family's sword go out to support the family.
Nowadays, the worshipers in Pingyang City can't help but sell things, so they all go out with their swords and sell their goods along the Shenxiantang. "
Tian Lin laughed when he heard this and said, "That's fine. In this way, your sisters who are also holding swords will have no shame in laughing at you anymore."
Tian Lin didn't talk to Yu'er anymore and took the hot food from Cui'er. After eating briefly, Tian Lin went to sea again.
This time he did not go further west, but went boating southward in the heavy fog.
He traveled a mile south, and he would not encounter the Qi Refiner when there were people around him again.
Soon, Tian Lin saw Gao He and his wife outside the southern coast.
The couple was riding on a medium-sized boat. Among them, Gao He had a soul needle in his left hand and a wooden sword in his right hand, and was looking around vigilantly.
Beside Gao He, Cai Shu was sitting cross-legged, meditating to restore her vitality.
The sea wind blew the talismans on their cabin whistling, making the two people on the boat restless.
Gao He's serious face finally became relaxed and happy after seeing Tian Lin.
"It's a happy thing to meet acquaintances at sea. Fellow Daoist Tian, why are you willing to come south today?"
After he said this, his eyes glanced at the big copy on Tian Lin's wooden boat, and he instantly remembered Tian Lin's identity.
For a moment, Gao He felt as if he had eaten fly excrement, unable to spit it out or swallow it.
"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Gao, I'll leave right away and I won't bring any bad luck to you."
Tian Lin also knows that his status as a 'corpse hunter' is not pleasing to the eye, so he will not make people dislike him here.
He cupped his hands with Gao He and continued to take the boat to the south.
But after Tian Lin entered a layer of clouds and mist, he plunged into the sea and quietly touched the boat of Gao He and his wife.
From under the sea, he only saw Cai Shu standing up from her meditating state and heard her say:
"Don't talk to people named Tian from now on. This guy seems to have ill intentions towards me."
Then I heard Gao He laugh and say: "A bad old man like him, even if he has a crush on you, would he still dare to touch you? Don't worry, I will talk to him less in the future."
Shen Xiantang can isolate people's spiritual consciousness, so neither he nor his wife sensed Tian Lin's existence.
Even the slightest sound of swimming under the sea was covered up by the waves. And the most important thing is that no one thinks that people can be hidden under the sea.
At this time, Tian Lin was in a daze under his and his wife's boat. He originally came back to see if there was a chance to retrieve the body, but unexpectedly he heard the couple's criticism of him.
Tian Lin thought about himself. Did he really have ill intentions towards Cai Shu?
I have never seen her face to face, and she is not a fairy. What wrong thoughts can I have towards her?
"During this time, you and I have been collecting remnant souls day and night, and the harvest has been great. But now more and more mid-stage foundation-building people come to Shenxiantang to collect remnant souls. How can we compare with those in the mid-stage foundation-building stage? Strong?"
Cai Shu suddenly sighed and heard Gao He say:
"One of us can't compare, but two of us may not be able to compete. Although they are in the middle stage of foundation building, they are fighting alone. How about you and I working together? When I become an outer disciple of Shuiyun Sect, I will find a way. Help you collect the Fire God Pill."
"Okay, I don't expect to be able to cultivate the Five Elements Dharmakaya. As long as the Fire Element Dharmakaya is successful, it is enough to become a mid-stage foundation-building monk."
The couple chatted on the boat for half an hour, and Tian Lin froze under the boat for half an hour.
After half an hour, there was still no wandering soul. Tian Lin guessed that the couple would die tonight.
He could only dive under the surface of the sea and return to his small canoe, continuing to go deeper south.
The boat of Gao He and his wife was already on the outskirts of the offshore sea. If Tian Lin went deeper, it would be close to the distant sea.
There are many wandering souls in the far sea, and there are many night wandering gods. Entering the far sea in the south is not dangerous.
But Tian Lin stopped the boat when he was near the distant sea, turned over and plunged into the lake again.
Shenxiantang in the south is dangerous only on the sea surface, but it is as safe under the sea as Shenxiantang in the west.
Tian Lin was sure that the Night Walker did not dare to enter the water, so he simply dived into the deep sea.
He sneaked like this for half an hour, and a light seemed to light up on the sea in the distance.
Tian Lin quietly poked his head out from under the sea and saw only a wooden boat. Li Gongfeng, who had once met the Tong family, was sitting on the bow.
I saw talismans posted everywhere on Li Gongfeng's boat, and a ball of fire in his hand was spinning.
Not long after the fireball rotated, as Li Gongfeng raised his hand, the fire exploded three feet in front of him.
Tian Lin saw with his own eyes that four or five wandering souls were hit by the fire, and then all turned into residual souls.
Li Congfeng didn't wait for these remnant souls to dissipate, and the soul collecting beads in his hand flew out first. After collecting all the remnant souls, they flew back into Li Congfeng's palm.
This operation was not unpleasant, and it really surprised Tian Lin.
He remembered that Li Gongfeng was also in the early stage of foundation building, which was nothing more than cultivating the water and fire body.
Strictly speaking, Li Chongfeng's water-fire body has not yet been formed, but even so, his methods are also extremely ruthless.
"Is this the difference between having a law body and not having a law body? And when I look at Li Chongfeng, he doesn't seem to be doing much good."
At this moment, Hai Xia's Tian Lin was really greedy, and looking at Li Congfeng's look, he really had some evil intentions.
