Chapter 196 Star Picker Appears
"How come it's coming so fast?"
On the sea, the faces of several foundation-building cultivators changed, and several of them looked at Tian Lin.
Because among the people present, only Tian Lin had the experience of "deep friendship" with the ferryman.
"I think this may be due to the cultivation level?"
Tian Lin looked at the people around him calmly and said:
"If you want to lead the foundation-building cultivators to a farther direction, you must be a foundation-building cultivator--
Everyone, don't be lucky and think that sacrificing the lives of sword slaves or sword holders will allow you to sit back and relax."
"Daoyou, take a boat?"
When Tian Lin spoke, the Yiye ferry had arrived.
The old man who was asked changed his face, and wanted to escape from the boat he was on like everyone else.
But just when he was about to release the flying sword and was about to fly away on the sword, the bamboo pole used by the ferryman to support the boat had been pulled out of the sea, and he was directly strung on the bamboo pole.
Thinking that the old man was also in the initial stage of foundation building, he lost all his energy after being pierced by the bamboo pole, and died in an instant.
This scene scared the people around him.
Some people fled to the distance, but their actions attracted the attention of the other two ferryboats.
The ferryman on the ferryboat didn't even ask a word, and the bamboo pole in his hand instantly stretched out, instantly piercing the three fleeing foundation building cultivators to death.
Seeing that they couldn't win and couldn't escape, and the deep sea was more dangerous than here.
Escape to the distant sea was obviously not a wise idea.
"Miss Jiang, quickly take the battle flag and let us go back."
Someone shouted, but someone else said to Tian Lin: "Fellow Daoist Tian, we are all relying on you to save our lives."
First, Mei Xiangu held her sword and said coldly: "No one can leave without the order of Xiangu."
Then came Tian Lin's voice:
"I risked my life to save everyone last night, but what did I get in return? You are all empty-mouthed, not only wanting me to forgive the past, but also wanting me to be willing to fight for you. Isn't that too contemptuous of Tian's personality?"
He said this clearly to get benefits, but the people present did not think Tian Lin's face was ugly, but felt a little ashamed.
After all, Tian Lin was indeed very "upright" yesterday.
It's just that everyone thought he was going to die, so some people wanted to divide his inheritance, and the other part of the people, although they did not participate, did not seek justice for Tian Lin.
At this time, Tian Lin was already heartbroken, how could he pay for them in vain?
"You can ask me to save your life. I will try to divert these three boats. I just need one person to give me three high-grade spirit stones."
"Three high-grade spirit stones?"
Some stingy people couldn't help but say: "That's three thousand low-grade spirit stones. How long will it take us to get so many high-grade spirit stones?"
Tian Lin said: "It just so happens that I can only divert one ferry at a time - so whoever is unwilling to pay the spirit stones, let him find a way to deal with the other two ferrymen."
Time is particularly urgent at this moment. While Tian Lin and others were talking, in order to avoid themselves from suffering, these foundation-building monks had sent out their swords and sword slaves, letting them use their lives to delay time for themselves and others.
The ferrymen did not disdain the level of the people who came, and they didn't care whether the other party was male or female, old or young. They all asked people for money and asked people to get on the boat, and then skewered them like meat.
"Okay, it's agreed that three boats will get three high-grade spirit stones. If you divert one less boat, you won't get a single spirit stone."
On the boat, a foundation-building monk spoke.
At this critical moment of life and death, people can no longer think too much.
Moreover, Tian Lin led a ferry away yesterday, thanks to the encounter with the Jindan Patriarch.
Even if Tian Lin has the ability to deal with a ferry, even if he is a master in the late stage of foundation building, he may not be able to deal with three ferries.
Everyone thought, no matter what, just agree to it first.
Tian Lin didn't care what these people were thinking. He turned his head and looked at the Yu'er sisters and said, "You two follow Miss Jiang to the big ship, so that someone won't use you as scapegoats later."
After saying this, he glanced at everyone present and said, "Tian is a man of his word, and I hope you won't let me down again this time."
He stopped talking nonsense, turned around and flew to a ferry, and said to the old man on the ferry, "I want to take the boat!"
As the copper coin in Tian Lin's hand fell into the old man's bag, the bamboo pole in the old man's hand no longer killed people, but inserted it into the sea and gently pushed.
After Tian Lin boarded the ferry, the old man took Tian Lin to the distant sea.
The sword slave who had escaped by chance because of Tian Lin's intervention was still in shock and returned to the bow of the boat in great joy.
But before he could stand firm, his master threw him to one of the two remaining ferries. His master said, "What are you doing? There are still two boats that haven't left yet."
While speaking, the foundation-building cultivator looked at Mei Xiangu's sword and said, "Miss Jiang, take this opportunity to open the formation and let us return to Pingyang City first."
The sword said coldly, "The whereabouts of the fairy is unknown now, how can you escape without permission? Besides, Fellow Daoist Tian has already led a ferryman away, what are you afraid of?"
The foundation-building cultivator said, "Although Fellow Daoist Tian is powerful, how can he be so lucky that he can survive the hands of the ferryman every time?
Besides, even if he can come back alive in a while, it will be dawn by then, and I'm afraid all of us will be dead."
The sword knew that what these people said was reasonable, and he also knew that their previous promise to give Tian Lin spiritual stones was just to coax Tian Lin to take action.
After all, they did not believe that Tian Lin could save them from the hands of the three ferrymen.
"If I say no, it won't work. Do you still dare to kill me?"
After saying this while holding the sword, he found that all the foundation-building monks had a fierce look on their eyes.
Obviously, at the critical moment of life and death, her identity as Mei Xiangu holding a sword and her background as a Shuiyun Sect no longer mattered.
At this moment, Yu'er suddenly said: "My master is back."
Most of the time, she called Master Tian Dao in front of others, but this time she was too excited and subconsciously shouted out the word "Master".
But who here carefully studies the meaning of these two words? No one associated Tian Lin with Tian Shuang.
Everyone followed the sound and saw Tian Lin's figure appearing in front of the second ferry boat in the heavy fog.
"This, this is less than half a quarter of an hour, right? How did he do it, sending the ferryman away in half a quarter of an hour?"
Everyone was extremely surprised, looking at Tian Lin's back with doubts.
At this time, Tian Lin had already boarded the second ferry boat. In the heavy fog that was more than a mile away from everyone, he suddenly took out a copper plate and threw it at the ferryman: "Excuse me, please take me into the sea."
The ferryman didn't talk nonsense. He just held the ferry boat and dived directly after receiving the money.
Tonight's Shenxian Pond seems to be colder than last night, and the sword energy in the sea water is also densely spread two feet deep in the sea water.
Tian Lin and the ferryman were less than seven or eight feet down, and the ferryman's whole body had been injured by the sword energy.
Tian Lin has had the experience of 'killing' the ferryman twice. He released his spiritual consciousness and did not attack the ferryman. Instead, he took advantage of the sword energy to destroy the robe on the ferryman's shoulder. When the copper plates in the robe were scattered, He also used spiritual consciousness to protect and roll up a large number of copper coins.
As the ferryman was completely killed by the sword energy, Tian Lin picked up the wooden sign, the ferry boat and the bamboo pole, and pulled the boat upwards.
He still hasn't figured out what material the wooden sign with the word "Ferryman" on it is made of. The ferry boat and the bamboo pennant look very ordinary, but they can block the damage of the sword energy.
Tian Lin found his canoe, put the ferry boat, bamboo pennies and wooden signs into his storage bag, and then returned to Mei Xiangu's big boat.
At this time, only seven or eight of the hundreds of sword-holding and sword slaves were dead, including two foundation-building monks.
But people present still lamented that Tian Lin came too quickly, and their expressions became excited.
"Is Fellow Daoist Tian's cultivation in the middle or late stages?"
Some people couldn't help but say: "Even in the mid-term, his strength is by no means worse than Mei Xiangu and others. It's hard to say, he is really a star-catcher."
Regardless of whether Tian Lin's cultivation level is in the middle or late stage, this group of people will never dare to rely on Tian Lin's account.
Tian Lin is just waiting for the spirit stones to be credited this time. If he collects a few high-grade spirit stones, it will be enough to take the teleportation array to the Northern Wilderness.
At this time, his boat was sailing on the river, and the people and the ferry boat were already in heavy fog.
Just when Tian Lin was about to take out the copper plate and trick the ferryman into entering the sea. A light boat rowed out in the distance, and a young man was seen paddling on the river. He stopped the boat in front of the ferry and asked the ferryman:
"Old man, do you want to take a boat?"
The young man had a clear voice, holding a bamboo pennant in his hand, looking at the ferryman with a half-smile.
The ferryman was obviously stunned, and his low IQ was obviously unable to react for a while.
The young man asked again: "Old man, do you want to take a boat?"
The ferryman still didn't answer. When the boy saw this, he pulled out his bamboo pen and pierced the ferryman's body directly.
The young man's attack was so fast that the ferryman had no way to struggle and was directly stabbed to death by the bamboo pennant.
Tian Lin saw the robe and wooden sign falling from the ferryman's shoulder, but he did not dare to reach out to catch them rashly.
Sure enough, the boy's penny, which was used to stab the ferryman to death, flew up and landed on the raft on the board of the boat. He also picked up the waistband that had fallen from the ferryman's body with his pennies. past.
The robe flipped somersaults in the air and landed on the board behind the young man with a 'clack'.
Only then did Tian Lin notice that there were many such robes behind the young man. It can be said that the young man carried a boatload of copper coins.
Is he collecting coins?
Tian Lin had a clear understanding in his heart. Standing on the ferry boat, he cupped hands with the young man and said, "Are you Taoist Fellow Taoist Zhaixingzi?"
The young man did not reply, but crushed the waist tag he had snatched from the ferryman. A black weapon instantly passed through his fingers and was absorbed by the wooden tag at his waist.
After using his waist tag to devour the stolen wooden tag, he picked up the sack he snatched from the ferryman, glanced at it and frowned: "Only one hundred and twenty-one?"
He counted eleven and threw them at Tian Lin:
"Although you found the ferryman, I killed the man. The ferryman's pennies and boat belong to you, and I will give you eleven more Youdu coins, so that none of us will suffer."
