Chapter 356: Back to the county

Two days later, Zhao Lin followed a cargo ship to a wharf.

"It's finally here! Brother Hou, the port of Guangping County is very magnificent. ”

"Of course, Guangping County is the largest county in Tianqing Prefecture, and Brother Ge is here for the first time, right?"

"Exactly, I wonder if there's anything special here, or a place worth visiting?"

"Haha, the Zengyuan Fruit of Guangping County and the Qixia Spirit Pear Paste are all famous, and they are very beneficial to cultivation. Brother Ge is a rare visit, you can bring some back......"

Zhao Lin heard the conversation between the two people on the boat under the water and nodded secretly.

"It turns out that I have arrived in Tianqing Prefecture, and it should be safe now."

Chenghuazong thirteen prefectures, Tianqing Prefecture is located in the middle of the states, with a large population, and Guangping County is its state capital.

Appearing in such a place, safety can definitely be guaranteed, and even if the people of Li Tao's two families chase after them, they don't dare to blatantly do it.

Zhao Lin sneaked to the shore and quietly surfaced.

There are more than a dozen large and small spirit boats moored on the wharf, and the trestle is full of goods, and people come and go, both monks and mortals.

Some are loading and unloading goods, some are cleaning the docks, and some are filling the magic circle on the ship with spirit stones, a busy scene.

Zhao Lin put his mind at ease, jumped to the shore, and dried the clothes on his body.

According to past experience, the port must not be far from Fang City, and if you find Fang City, you will also find a boat station.

followed the departing crowd for a while, and sure enough, I saw a market.

"To Uehara-gun."

Zhao Lin bought a ticket at the boat post and quickly boarded the spirit boat.

Originally, there were other routes back to Han Chi County, and it was even faster, but Zhao Lin decided to go to Uehara County.

This trip has one purpose: to spread the news that Li Yuanyou is alive.

The reason why the Li family chased and killed themselves was probably that they didn't want the news to spread, so they did the opposite.

Now I don't have the ability to retaliate against the Li family, which is a small riposte.

Fang City is the place where the flow of people is intersecting, and it is the place where the news is spread the fastest.

In less than half a day, I came to Uehara Senfang.

Zhao Lin first went to the shop that sold talismans and bought two Hongyan talismans and two hidden talismans.

Both kinds of talismans are of the highest grade, and the price is expensive, especially the Hongyan talisman, a thousand yuan spirit coin, and the hidden charm also costs 500 spirit coins.

But Zhao Lin did not give up in the slightest, these things can save lives at critical moments, no matter how expensive they are, they have to be bought.

After buying the talisman, Zhao Lin came to the shop opened by Hanchi County in Fang City.

"Xiaoyou, are you back so soon?"

The monk surnamed Gu who was on the same boat last time was also in the shop, and when he saw Zhao Lin, he smiled and said hello.

"yes, ancient."

Zhao Lin walked into the lobby and glanced at it casually, it was just past noon, it was the time when there were the most people, and there were seven or eight customers in the store to choose goods.

"Come, sit down."

The monk surnamed Gu is the rotating shopkeeper of the store, and the monk from the county came to visit, so he wanted to entertain him, and the last time Zhao Lin helped deliver the goods, he had a very good impression of Zhao Lin.

instructed the guy to serve tea to Zhao Lin, and asked casually, "How is it, how is the task?" ”

According to his experience, Zhao Lin must not have done well in the first time he carried out the mission of the sect, and he had already thought of the words of relief in his heart.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Lin said amazingly: "Thank you for your concern." The mission was very successful, earning hundreds of good deeds, and killing a ......"

He deliberately paused as he spoke, and said, "Ghost cultivation!" ”

The sound was not loud or small, and everyone in the store could hear it.

When several guests heard this, they turned their heads at the same time, and the men also approached and pricked up their ears.

"Is there such a thing? Tell me about it! ”

The monk surnamed Gu was stunned for a moment, swallowed the words of comfort back into his stomach, and asked curiously.

Because of his age, the monk surnamed Gu has long ceased to perform the tasks of the sect, and his life is as plain as water, and he likes to inquire about anecdotes on weekdays.

"That's ......"

Zhao Lin slowly picked up the teacup, blew off the foam on it, and took a sip carefully, looking like he was enjoying it.

The monk surnamed Gu waited for a while, but when he didn't see anything next, he couldn't help but ask, "How is it?" ”

Zhao Lin praised: "Good tea! ”

The corners of the monk's mouth twitched, "The old man asked the ghost cultivator you said just now......

"Well, yes."

Zhao Lin patted his head, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of two monks walking into the shop, cleared his throat, and said: "The task of the sect received by the junior is to enter the Yin Wind Realm to pick spirit grass, and I don't think I will encounter a thousand-year-old Yin Soul ...... on the first day."

This experience has been told no less than three times, and I have already been familiar with it, and I have added fuel and vinegar to tell it, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"Li Yuanyou is a member of the Li family in Sanshan County, and the Li family has been searching for twenty years but has not found it, and now it has finally come to light."

At the end, Zhao Lin emphasized one sentence.

The shop was silent for a while, and after a while, someone asked, "This fellow Daoist, what you said is true?" ”

Zhao Lin knew that someone must have raised questions, so he had already prepared, took out the body stone, and covered the content in front with his divine sense, leaving only the part that was finally completed.

"The matter of killing the ghost cultivator is still accounting for the good deeds, and it has not been recorded for the time being, but this can also be proven."

"Let's take a look, the ghost cultivator has carefully raised more than a hundred star peony grasses, and they have all been served by me!"

"Old man, take a look."

The monk surnamed Gu was the first to take the body stone, his consciousness swept away, and his face could not hide the look of shock.

After a while, all the monks present had seen it and believed it this time.

"Daoist friends are really lucky, more than 600 good deeds have been received!"

A young monk said enviously, Zhao Lin's cultivation was only at the third level of qi refining, and he could actually kill the ghost cultivator, if he met it, he would definitely be able to do it, but unfortunately he didn't have such good luck.

"If you kill the ghost cultivator, the sect must have a reward, right?"

Another rich-looking monk asked.

"I don't know, go back to the county and wait for news. However, after completing the task, I made a special trip to Sanshan County, and the Li family gave me some compensation. ”

Zhao Lin deliberately led the topic to the Li family.

The man asked again: "Did the Li family say anything?" ”

Zhao Lin smiled slightly, "The Li family gave me a thousand spirit coins as a token of gratitude. ”

"So little? It's so stingy! ”

"That's it, this Li family doesn't do things authentically. Li Yuanyou is the eldest son of the head of the family, and a thousand spirit coins will be sent away. ”

"I don't know the ...... of gratitude at all"

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Zhao Lin got up with a smile and said goodbye, leaving a group of monks to discuss.

I believe that it will not be long before the news will reach Sanshan County.

……

Before dark, Zhao Lin returned to Hanchi County.

Walking into the familiar courtyard, the heart that had been tense finally relaxed.

The first time he went out on a mission, there were one crisis after another, so it was no wonder that the Spirit Dao Academy did not allow disciples to leave the county before their cultivation reached the middle stage of Qi refining.

It is indeed very unsafe for a low-ranking monk to go out alone.

Zhao Lin fell on the bed, didn't think about anything, and fell asleep.

Early the next morning, after waking up, I felt a hundred times more energetic, and the two spiritual aperture of "Zhiyang" and "Ridge" behind me actually faintly showed signs of loosening.

It seems that every time you experience life and death, your cultivation will make obvious progress.

"Senior Brother Zhao, where have you been these days?"

"Elder Wu only said that you went out on a mission, but didn't say where you went."

Zhao Lin was practicing at the top of the mountain, and several disciples with good relationships between Zhu Cong, Li Sancai and Tong Mu came over to ask.

"It's nothing, go to a small world in Xiniu Prefecture to pick spirit grass."

"Small world, is it fun?"

Zhu Cong looked curious.

"It's not fun, and it's also very dangerous, don't do this kind of task until you reach the late stage of Qi refining."

Zhao Lin didn't want to mislead them, so he told them seriously, and only picked out some peculiarities in the Yin Wind Realm to tell the three of them, and didn't mention the details of the task.

After the morning exercise, we came to the Dharma Pavilion.

There are multiple rooms in the Dharma Pavilion, each of which is in charge of different disciples.

There is a word "wind" next to the door, where the senior brother teaches the wind spell.

Zhao Lin's purpose here is to practice the Trapping Technique, although he has mastered this spell, he still has to do superficial skills.

Otherwise, you will use spells without even learning it, and you can't explain it clearly anyway.

Not only the Trapping Technique, but also other spells Zhao Lin planned to do the same.

At noon, Zhao Lin went to the Chuangong Hall to find Elder Nie.

When he left the county, Elder Nie gave approval, and when he came back, he should naturally report it.

"Elder Nie, Elder Wu, the disciple is back."

Zhao Lin saw that Elder Wu was also present, so he saluted the two of them.

"Hmm."

Elder Nie bowed slightly, "It's good to come back, if it's a few days later, I'll send a letter to Qiuyang County to inquire." ”

Zhao Lin said gratefully: "Thank you for your concern. ”

At this time, Elder Wu on the side spoke: "Zhao Lin, you are still a disciple of the Spirit Dao Academy, and you should focus on cultivation. If you want to do a task, you have a lot of time in the future, so you don't have to rush it. ”

Zhao Lin hurriedly responded, "What the elder said is true. ”

"How's the mission going? How much good deed have you earned? ”

"It's okay, the disciple has earned nine hundred and thirty good deeds."

"So, disciples should still practice ......"

Elder Wu was halfway through his words, when he suddenly realized that something was wrong, and suddenly asked, "What?" How much did you just say? ”

"Nine hundred and thirty."

Zhao Lin repeated it again.

Elder Wu was silent.

Elder Nie was puzzled: "I remember that the task you received was to go to the Yin Wind Realm to pick spirit grass, which is a second-class task, how can you earn so many good deeds?" ”

"It's not all earned by picking spiritual grass, but I also met two bandits......

Zhao Lin explained that he had told the mission experience in the original place, and only omitted the part about Sheng Jinlong.

After speaking, he took out the body stone and presented it to Elder Nie.

After Elder Nie finished reading the body stone, he was so surprised that he didn't speak for a long time, and Elder Wu glanced at it, and he also had the same expression.

Nine hundred and thirty good deeds are more than the accumulation of two years of disciples, not including Zhao Lin's discovery of the truth about the disappearance of the monk twenty years ago, as well as the good deeds of killing ghost cultivators.

In fact, most people usually have to stick spirit stones upside down when they perform tasks, just to earn good deeds.

Zhao Lin earned more than 3,000 yuan in spirit stones this trip, and nearly 1,000 yuan in good deeds, this harvest even moved the two of them to see it.

"So...... It's dangerous to go out! ”

Elder Nie slapped his thigh, and finally thought of a breakthrough point, "Look, it's a bandit cultivator and a ghost cultivator, but if there is a little bit of a bad pool, you won't be able to live now." ”

"Yes, thank you for the Elders' teachings."

Zhao Lin humbly agreed.

Elder Nie nodded with satisfaction, "Since you have accumulated so many good deeds, let's cultivate with peace of mind, improving your cultivation as soon as possible is the last word, don't go out in the short term." ”

"Disciple knows, thank you two elders."

Zhao Lin gave a deep salute, took a few steps back, and turned to leave the Chuan Gong Hall.

Looking at Zhao Lin's back, Elder Nie sighed with emotion, "This disciple is really good! Although the spiritual root is only of medium grade, he is determined and mature, much stronger than when the old man was young. ”

Elder Wu also agreed: "Indeed, among so many disciples, he is sensible. Knowing what to do and what not to do, to be honest, I don't feel like I need guidance as an elder. ”

Elder Nie pondered for a moment and said, "It's no wonder that he is the oldest, if he continues to work step by step like other disciples, I am afraid that it will be hopeless to build a foundation." ”

……

Walking out of the Chuangong Hall, Zhao Lin came to the Library Pavilion again and flipped through the books on the formation.

After leaving the Lingdao Academy for more than half a month and delaying a lot of schoolwork, Senior Brother Chuangong gave Zhao Lin two titles and asked him to study on his own in the library pavilion, and ask again if he didn't understand.

After the experience of the Yin Wind Realm, Zhao Lin deeply felt the importance of the formation.

If you are proficient in the formation, you will not fall into the Three Yin Phantom Killing Formation of Ghost Cultivation at all.

Of course, it was also because he understood some fur that he was able to control the magic circle of ghost cultivation, trap Sheng Jinlong, and then kill him.

Although Lu Yuanxiu, a Purple Mansion cultivator who was also a martial cultivator, had suggested that Zhao Lin not waste his time on Taoism, he didn't know that Zhao Lin had a spiritual cultivation map, which could save a lot of time in practicing spells.

"Sky Blindness, a second-order non-attribute spell. Usage: Purple Mang Attack; Effect: Shields the enemy's six senses ......"

After studying the formation, Zhao Lin found an introduction to the Heavenly Blindness Technique in a book called "Initial Solution to Common Spells" in the Library Pavilion.

"It turns out that the Heavenly Blindness Technique is a second-order spell."

Zhao Lin shook his head slowly, and after careful consideration, he decided not to keep this spell.

On the one hand, it was because this was a second-order spell, and he couldn't practice it at this stage.

Another reason is that this spell seems to be very powerful, but it is not easy to hit the enemy, and the duration is extremely short.

The function is similar to that of the Concealment Technique, but it consumes more spiritual power.

Moreover, this kind of bewildering spell belongs to the small path after all, and with the improvement of the realm, it plays a smaller and smaller role.

Three days later, the follow-up rewards for the Yin Wind Realm mission were issued.

The good deeds are divided into two parts.

Find out about the disappearance of 20 years ago and reward 100 good deeds.

Kill the ghost cultivators, seize the ghost cultivators, and reward 500 good deeds.

Obviously, the sect attaches great importance to the matter of ghost cultivation, but whenever it is involved, the rewards are very generous.

Zhao Lin guessed that the sect could find a way to deal with ghost cultivation based on the books and items of ghost cultivation, and prevent disciples from becoming ghost cultivators.

"The first task has gained so much, Zhao Daoyou is really amazing!"

Zhao Lin came to the Hall of Good Deeds, and after the Hu steward who received him recorded his good deeds with a Xingyuan pen, he couldn't help but sigh in admiration.

"It's all luck."

Zhao Lin said a few words modestly, checked the body stone, and found that the good deeds had increased by six hundred, becoming one thousand six hundred and thirty-three!

Out of the main hall, Zhao Lin did not leave directly, but walked to the courtyard to watch the latest posted tasks.

Soon attracted attention by a missing person mission.

I saw that the top of the task read: Enter the Yin Wind Realm and look for the missing monk: Sheng Jinlong. (End of chapter)
