Chapter 21: The Cell
"Do you know what you're doing? Are you going crazy?"
Lin Shi was furious, sat on the wooden chair, formed a fist with his left hand, slammed the wooden table and shouted.
"Okay, okay, junior brother, you have something to say, after all, everything has happened, and besides, I don't think Lin Fan's character is bad."
Zhang Chenfeng squinted. Looking at Lin Fan who was standing in front of Lin Shi and bowed his head and didn't dare to kick the atmosphere, according to his estimate, Lin Fan may have experienced the nameless incident, and his temperament became like this, and it would be over if he changed it, not to mention that Lin Yongsen and the bandits should have killed people, as for the soldiers of the Yan Kingdom, the war between the two countries is not a game, and death and injury are inevitable, but Lin Fan's way is a little bloody, which is not a good thing for his future cultivation.
"You have to remember that the thirst for killing will bring trouble to your future cultivation path, you can kill the person who should be killed, but there is a problem with your way, I came with your uncle to give you a ban on the spirit pool, otherwise how can it be called the Red Dust Trial"
Lin Shi sighed, after all, Lin Fan was his first and only apprentice, he didn't want to embarrass him too much, since Zhang Chenfeng gave him the steps, then he would go down the steps.
"Don't worry, the bronze ring and you are already a blood to recognize the master, you can use it even if the spirit pool is sealed, I discussed with your uncle before coming, before giving you the spirit pool a ban, I will leave a way back for you, that is, when your life is in danger, the ban will untie the time of a stick of incense by itself, and the ban will be activated again after a stick of incense time, which can be regarded as taking special care of you", looking at Lin Fan's bitter melon face, Lin Shi shook his head and said, I knew that he would not accept apprentices, how could it be so troublesome to accept an apprentice, although he had not taught him much.
"Stand Still"
Zhang Chenfeng got up and said to Lin Fan, after Lin Fan stood up, red, blue, green, purple, and yellow beams of light rushed out from Zhang Chenfeng's right hand, submerged into Lin Fan's chest, went straight to his heart, and finally turned into five five-color runes, each of which appeared outside Lin Fan's heart.
"The red rune is to seal your spirit pool, and the other four runes are to seal your perception, hearing, smell and vision, now you are no different from mortals, at most stronger, start your red dust trial"
After the ban was cast, Zhang Chenfeng smiled and said to Lin Fan, Now it depends on how you are stumbling, like other disciples, obediently Hongchen trial.
However, for the sake of Lin Fan missing a hand and being a dumb person, Zhang Chenfeng also gave Lin Fan special care, that is, when his life was endangered, the red light talisman would automatically unseal a stick of incense, and after a stick of incense, the seal would be automatically opened, and I believe that the time for a stick of incense would be enough for Lin Fan to save his life.
"Okay, your master and I will go back to the Ethereal Gate first, you can enter the world and practice the Red Dust Trial."
Zhang Chenfeng looked at Lin Fan with an unhappy bitter gourd face and said.
After Zhang Chenfeng finished speaking, he and Lin Shi each turned into a ray of light and rushed out of the window of the private room, and before Lin Shi left, he also glared at Lin Fan, as if he was warning Lin Fan not to mess around.
When Zhang Chenfeng and Lin Shi broke the window and left, the spear jumped out of the bronze ring, and said in a disobedient voice: "The cultivation of these two people is much higher than you and me, I don't dare to say anything", and after speaking, it was very humane, and the spear shaft was bent and arched straight.
"It's late at night"
Lin Fan looked at the crescent moon outside the window and sighed secretly, now that he has really become a mortal, no wonder the previous senior brothers have finished their trials, and they are all so miserable when they come back, and the Dare Spirit Pool has been banned.
Bang, there was a knock on the door of the private room, and the voice of the guy in the shop came: "Guest officer, are you resting?"
Lin Fan opened the door, and what greeted him was the shopkeeper, but behind the shopkeeper, there were still four servants, who were examining Lin Fan.
"A few officials, that's him"
The shopkeeper pointed to Lin Fan and said to the officials, it turned out that Lin Fan did not have the identity card of Yanguo, and he could not stay in the restaurant, and the shopkeeper did not want to open a private room for him, but Lin Fan took out a few pieces of gold.
"Where's your badge?"
A servant walked into the private room and looked at Lin Fan and asked.
Lin Fan sighed in his heart, the secret way is not good, he only has the identity card of Da Bianguo, but he does not have the identity card of Yanguo, he just came to this matter after being banned, Lin Fan seriously suspected that Zhang Chenfeng and Lin Shi should have known that the officials would come to check him, so they sealed his spirit pool at this time, otherwise it would be too coincidental at this time.
"A few officials, this man is a mute," the shopkeeper said flatteringly to the questioning officer.
Trying to put on a harmless smiling face, Lin Fan kept gesturing with his right hand, but it annoyed the officials.
"Look at the appearance of your rat head and rat brain, at first glance, you are a person who is a traitor, bring it back first."
The officials couldn't help but tie up Lin Fan Wuhuanda and take him directly to the official prison.
Lin Fan, who looked innocent, secretly said that he just had a terrible scar on his face, and he was said that he didn't look like a good person wherever he went.
"Strange, are you sure you've moved hundreds of jars of wine into this private room?"
When the officials escorted Lin Fan out of the restaurant, the shopkeeper of the restaurant stood in the private room, looking at the empty room, and looked at the shopkeeper suspiciously.
"That's right, a few guys and I did send three hundred jars of wine and forty portions of sauce duck and roast duck to this room, why are they gone?", the shop guy was also confused.
.....
"What has this man done?"
When Lin Fan was taken into the prison by the officials, the four prison guards yawned and sat on a long wooden chair, and an oil lamp was burning on the square wooden table next to him.
"Staying in the restaurant without an identity card, it's quite generous, the origin is unknown, put it on this night first, and let the adults decide it in the public court tomorrow", the official grabbed a handful of boiled peanuts from the table, neatly peeled off the shells of the flowers, and said after chewing the peanut kernels in his mouth twice.
While chatting with the jailers, Lin Fan looked at the prison and found that the walls of the prison were made of blue bricks, and there were two passages in the prison, the walls on both sides of the passage on the left were embedded with oil lamps every seven or eight meters, which looked quite clean and tidy, but the passage on the right had a rotten smell, and there were only two oil lamps.
"Okay, leave it to me, you sign here"
The jailer pulled a blue account book from his bosom and placed it on the table, and another jailer took out a brush and ink from under the table.
"Look at what, and then look at the pig's head that blows you up"
After the official signed and left, one jailer stared at Lin Fan viciously, took a bunch of keys hanging from the wall, and carried an oil lamp, while another jailer was on Lin Fan's right and led Lin Fan to the right passage.
"Stop"
The prison shouted, and when Lin Fan stood still, the prison with the oil lamp also opened a cell.
Another jailer untied the rope on Lin Fan's body and pushed Lin Fan into the cell.
"Settle down at night, or you'll have good fruit to eat"
The jailer carrying the oil lamp locked the chains, warned Lin Fan and left with the other jailer.
Three blue brick walls, one wooden bar, this is Lin Fan's cell, fortunately, there is an oil lamp on the wall diagonally opposite, which is faintly burning, illuminating the second two-thirds of Lin Fan's cell, but it is not like a blind cat touching the dark.
The floor of the cell was covered with straw, but it was damp and smelled of musty smell.
"Little brother, what did you do?"
A voice sounded, making Lin Fan, who was thinking, tremble, and squinted in the direction of the sound source, and in the dark place in the corner of the wall, there was a person squatting.
This person stood up from the ground and walked in front of Lin Fan, looking about the same age as Lin Fan, but he looked quite handsome, with two curved eyebrows like black lacquer, sideburns like a knife, a head taller than Lin Fan, wearing a pale white robe, a silver cloak, a fast-haired brown crown on his head, a light yellow bamboo fan in his right hand, and black small court boots on his feet.
"It's also a man of about the same age, why am I so much worse than him," Lin Fan said angrily.
"No, how do I think you're familiar?"
The handsome man looked at Lin Fan and frowned.
When Lin Fan heard this, he also took a serious look at the handsome man, he also felt that this person was a little familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere, the air suddenly fell into silence, and the two of them looked at each other, each staring at each other's faces.
"I remembered, it was you"
The handsome man exclaimed, and then whispered in Lin Fan's ear: "Aren't you a disciple of the Ethereal Sect, why did you appear here?"
And Lin Fan also remembered why he saw this handsome man's face familiar, this person was a disciple of the Lihuo Sect, when Lin Fan was on duty at the mountain gate, this person was following behind the butt of Wang Tang, the leader of the Lihuo Sect.
"Ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I've forgotten what you are, let me introduce, I'm a disciple of Wang Tang, the leader of the Fire Sect, my surname is true, and my name is handsome."
Zhen Yingjun showed two rows of silver teeth and smiled brightly, he went to the Ethereal Gate with his master Wang Tang, and had seen Lin Fan at the Ethereal Gate Mountain Gate, and after the nameless trial, he participated in the siege of the people who stayed in the Ethereal Gate to the Ten Thousand Swords Gate, as the cause of the incident, Lin Fan, who was really handsome, was a little impressed.
"Really handsome, really shameless, what kind of score do you put a fan on in winter?"
When Lin Fan heard that the man in front of him claimed to be called Zhen Yingjun, he felt unhappy for a while, the surname Zhen is quite rare, but this name is worthy of him.
It's really difficult to communicate with Lin Fan, Zhen Yingjun said with his mouth, and Lin Fan took the straw and wrote on the wall, and the two of them figured out why each other appeared here.
According to the words of Zhen Yingjun, the disciples of the Fire Sect, after the realm breaks through to the god transformation stage, they also need to come to the mortal world to conduct the Red Dust Trial, and the Ethereal Gate is the same, the time of the trial is actually the same as the Ethereal Gate, it is for three years, it seems that the three major sects have the earliest unified negotiation of the Red Dust Trial.
It has been nearly two months since Zhen Yingjun entered the mortal city to start the trial, which is not much different from Lin Fan, I have to say that the effect of the Hongchen trial is indeed good, Zhen Yingjun has broken through two small realms in two months, and his cultivation has been in the Triple Heaven Great Perfection of the Transformation Period.
But after he took out a sum of gold from an elder who was temporarily acting as the sect leader of the Fire Sect, he actually went straight to Hengyu City, which was thousands of miles away from the Fire Sect, and bought a grocery store, and the rest of the money was used to buy his own clothes.
In addition, Lin Fan learned one thing, that is, when he wanted to break through the small realm, the ban would also be temporarily lifted, and the really handsome needless to say, he was banned before he left the Fire Sect, and he traveled for more than ten days in a row to get to this Hengyu City.
As for why Zhen Yingjun was imprisoned, according to Zhen Yingjun's words, it was the words "tax month ruthless", after he bought the grocery store and arranged the outfit, he didn't have a penny left, and the goods sold every day were only enough for him to fill his stomach, because he had no money to pay taxes, he was taken into prison by the officials at noon today.
"I remember that you became like this because of the space magic weapon, did you bring that magic weapon?"
Really handsome stared at Lin Fan with ill intentions, as if Lin Fan was a piece of fatty mutton.
As soon as he heard this, Lin Fan held the straw in his right hand and pointed at Zhen Yingjun, and took a few steps back, looking at Zhen Yingjun vigilantly.
"Don't get me wrong, I want to ask if you have brought a space magic weapon, if you do, then you must have money in the space magic weapon, when the time comes, do my brother a favor, help me pay the tax money, I am helping you round your identity"
As soon as he saw Lin Fan's performance, he knew that he had brought that space magic weapon, and hurriedly called him brother and brother, otherwise if he was convicted of not paying taxes by the government tomorrow morning, he would be exiled to a barren land, and his grocery store would be confiscated.
Hearing this, Lin Fan let down his guard, and as soon as his mind moved, all the gold in the bronze ring appeared in Lin Fan's right palm, it seems that what Zhang Chenfeng said is true, even if Lin Fan's spirit pool is sealed, he can still use the bronze ring, but his gold is not much, there are only seven gold the size of fingernails left.
"Hahaha, there is salvation, there is salvation"
Zhen Yingjun smiled happily and snatched seven pieces of gold from Lin Fan's hand, so excited that he was at a loss.
"Tomorrow you and I should go to court, and the county lieutenant will be responsible for convicting you and me, the tax money I owe is less than ten taels, and tomorrow I will use it to bribe the county lieutenant, and the rest will be for you to invest in my grocery store", after a while, after Zhen Yingjun recovered from his excitement, he stuffed seven pieces of gold into his pocket and said to Lin Fan.
Lin Fan thought about it, since it was a red dust trial, it was no worse anywhere, nodded and agreed to be really handsome, looking at the wooden fence with a distance of only five inches and the candlelight flickering oil lamp, smelling the musty air, Lin Fan suddenly understood why the disciples who had just entered the realm of the Transformation Stage had to go through the Red Dust Trial.
The transformation period is to gradually strengthen one's own perception ability and temper the soul, once the god of transformation into the three crossings, I am afraid that it has nothing to do with mortals at all, the red dust trial, in addition to his own mortal wishes, I am afraid that it is to let the cultivator experience three emotions and six desires.
Only by experiencing the three emotions and six desires, in the three levels of the realm of the three crossing periods, the catastrophe, and the catastrophe, can you calmly deal with the love and tribulation of the tragedy, and the desire to cross the disaster, and secondly, the red dust trial is indeed very beneficial to the disciples who have just entered the god transformation period, you see that Lin Fan has only stepped into three small realms in a little more than a month, and he is really handsome, and he has also stepped into two small realms in two months.
"Coo, coo"
Lin Fan, who was deep in thought, was disturbed by this sound, and at first glance, it was the sound of the really handsome belly, and at this time he was looking at Lin Fan in embarrassment, touching his cooing belly with his right hand.
"I'm sorry, I was imprisoned by the government at noon, and I haven't eaten a grain of rice for nearly five hours now."
It's okay not to say it, but the more you talk about it, the more the handsome belly rings, and it sounds like a drum.
