"Monk Zhu Lihan, the former monk of the Fu Department of Honshu, died on the thirteenth day of February in the year of Jiachen at the age of two hundred and ninety-eight......"

"At the request of his death, Ye Luo will return to his roots, and he will return to Hanchi County in the near future."

Seeing this obituary, Zhao Lin's heart moved.

Although the obituary is short, you can see that there is nothing missing.

The original meaning of feathering is to become an immortal, which is a kind of euphemism for the death of a monk.

He died at the age of 298, and the word "death" was used, so it means that he must be a monk in the later stage of foundation building.

Because the longevity of the monks in the later stage of foundation building was around 300 years old, and they could live to be 298 years old, which is already a high life.

Zongbo is the highest position in the Fu Department, and he can be in charge of the Fu Dao of a state as a foundation building monk, and he must be outstanding in terms of Taoism.

After all, this is the world of cultivating immortals, and talent and ability alone are not enough, but must have the strength to endorse.

A monk in the late stage of foundation building, his strength is outstanding, and his body is about to return to Hanchi County......

This is the message that Zhao Lin read from the obituary.

"A monk in the late stage of foundation building, Shou Yuan is a generation older than the Qi Refining Realm, and he has a lot of time to perfect his spells and Taoist arts."

"The reason why Miao Kefa is rare is because he has cultivated two consummation-level spells as an identity in the Qi Refining Realm. But such an achievement is not so difficult for the foundation building monks. ”

Zhao Lin secretly speculated, feeling that this Zhu senior was likely to cultivate a few consummation-level spells.

If this is the case, the devotional map can come in handy, "tracing back" his spells from the body and using them for his own use.

But...... How can I get access to the body?

Zhao Lin stared at the obituary and groaned for a while.

It is not difficult to attend the funeral, but it is difficult to get close to the body.

Zhu Lihan was an important member of the state government before his death, a monk of the foundation realm, and an outsider himself, but any behavior that deviates from the norm is a great disrespect to the deceased.

"Is there any way to reach the body in the open?"

Zhao Lin recalled the funeral process when he was in the mortal realm, thought for a while, and suddenly had an idea, "There is, carry the coffin!" ”

The funeral customs of the immortal cultivation world are similar to those in the mortal world, and the funeral process has steps of entering the funeral and entering the coffin.

The body of the deceased is carried into a coffin and transported to the cemetery.

The person carrying the coffin must be the younger generation of the deceased, and it is preferable to be young and strong.

Become a coffin bearer, and when you are buried, you can take the opportunity to touch the body and trace the spell of Zhu Lihan.

"That's it!"

Thinking of this, Zhao Lin glanced at the days in the newspaper, and estimated that the body had arrived in Hanchi County, and there were still three days left before the burial.

"Go to visit Zhufu today and strive to become a coffin bearer."

Zhao Lin stood up, returned to the market along the way he came, and asked people about the location of Zhufu.

The Zhu family is just a small immortal cultivation family, but after all, there is a late-stage foundation building monk like Zhu Lihan, and Zhao Lin quickly inquired: Zhu Mansion is in the back mountain of Songyu Peak.

"Without further ado, the person who wants to carry the coffin has not yet been decided."

Zhao Lin left the bazaar, strode towards the back mountain, and stopped after a few steps.

He thought of a problem: he was not related to the Zhu family, and he asked to carry the coffin of the deceased when he came to the door, and his behavior was too abrupt, and it was not good to blow people out.

Must think of a beginning.

Zhao Lin paced back and forth a few steps, his eyes inadvertently swept over the opposite Dao Dao Peak, and thought of an idea.

Immediately turned around and walked down the mountain towards Wendao Peak.

"Elder Xu, may I ask where is the book of the foundation building monk of this county?"

Zhao Lin came to the library and asked the old man who was in charge of the library.

After the monks have achieved the foundation realm, most of them will write books and speak.

On the one hand, it is to pass on the experience, and on the other hand, it is to leave a good name and earn some good deeds at the same time.

Zhao Lin guessed that Zhu Lihan should not be exempt from vulgarity.

"There is a precedence in hearing the Tao, and there is a specialization in the art industry. The books in this pavilion are all classified according to exercises, spells, and Taoist arts, and have never been distinguished according to the realm of the author. ”

After listening to Zhao Lin's question, the old man surnamed Xu shook his head and said, paused, and asked, "Whose book are you looking for?" ”

Of course, Zhao Lin would not directly say Zhu Lihan's name, and said with a smile: "I want to find a few books on wind, water, and ice spells, preferably written within the last three hundred years, and the author is better to build the foundation realm of the Purple Mansion Realm." ”

He inquired in the bazaar just now, Zhu Lihan is the three spiritual roots of wind, water, and ice, and he limits the spells to these three, plus the cultivation and the number of years, there should not be many people who can meet such conditions at the same time.

The old man surnamed Xu was a little dizzy by Zhao Lin's conditions, he was stunned for a moment, pointed to a row of bookshelves on the north side of the library pavilion and said, "You go over there to look for it, the books that have been there for a long time are all there." ”

Zhao Lin thanked him and walked over quickly.

There are two types of books in the Library: one is traditional paper books and the other is jade slips.

Jade is easy to preserve, and can also be copied at will, and most of the sect classics are now preserved in the form of jade slips.

However, it is only in the last 100 years that jade slips have become popular on a large scale, so the old books in the library are still mainly paper.

There are rows of books on the shelves, and because of their age, not many people look at them, and many of the book covers have a layer of dust on them.

Zhao Lin looked over carefully, and really found Zhu Lihan's name.

The title of the book is: A Preliminary Study of the Water and Ice Two-Line Spells.

Zhao Lin felt relieved for a while, gently blew off the dust on the book, and read it carefully.

Although the title of the book contains the word "first exploration", it is actually very in-depth.

Zhu Lihan listed nine spells, including the Water Resisting Technique, the Water Net Technique, the Fubo Technique, the Ice Hammer Technique, and the Ice Shield Technique, and explained these spells one by one to analyze their advantages and disadvantages.

It can be seen that Zhu Lihan has a deep knowledge of these water and ice spells.

Although Zhao Lin had a special purpose, he was immersed in it unconsciously after watching it for a while.

An hour has passed since the last page.

"Elder Xu, I want to borrow this book to read for two days."

Zhao Lin took the book, walked up to the old man surnamed Xu and said.

"Okay, it's free to return the book within 10 days. For more than ten days, one spirit coin will be collected every three days, and the maximum shall not exceed one month. ”

Xu Lao glanced at the cover of the book and took a pen to record it.

"Thank you, Mr. Xu."

Zhao Lin walked out of the library pavilion and rushed to Zhufu while it was still dark.

Zhufu is located in the high place of Songyufeng Mountainside, the scale is not large, but it is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the environment is very quiet.

Zhao Lin stepped forward and knocked on the door of Zhufu.

"May I ask what the immortal master is doing?"

The one who opened the door was a middle-aged man dressed as a housekeeper, with a white filial piety belt tied around his waist, looking Zhao Lin up and down, and asked with some doubts.

Zhao Lin looked solemn and said in a low tone: "I heard the news of the feathering of my seniors, and I came to offer my condolences." ”

"May I ask the surname of the immortal master, how do you call it?"

"In Xia Zhao Lin, he is a disciple of the Spirit Dao Academy."

"Please wait, I'll inform the Mansion Master."

The housekeeper arched his hand, turned around and went back to the house, walked into the mourning hall, and said to an old man who was dressed in linen and filial piety: "Mansion master, there is a guest visiting. ”

Dai Xiao's old man's surname is Zhu, his name is Huaishi, and he is now the head of the Zhu family.

Zhu Huaishi raised his head and asked, "Who is here?" ”

The housekeeper replied, "It is a disciple of the Spirit Dao Academy, and he said that his name is Zhao Lin." ”

"The head of the Spirit Dao Academy and the elders have already come to pay their respects this morning, why is there another disciple?"

Zhu Huaishi looked puzzled and looked around, "Which of you has heard of this person?" ”

There were more than a dozen Zhu family monks in the mourning hall, and they all shook their heads when they heard this.

"Hong Feng, go take a look."

Since it had nothing to do with it, Zhu Huaishi called a junior to receive him.

"Wait!"

A person stood up in the mourning hall, walked to Zhu Huaishi's side, and said in a low voice: "Taiyue, you should go in person." ”

The person who spoke was Hu Zhicheng, Zhu Huaishi's grandson-in-law, who was in charge of the Hall of Good Merit, and as a relative, he also came to watch the spirit together.

Zhu Huaishi was a little displeased, "Just a disciple of the Spirit Dao Academy, and you still want the old man to receive it personally?" ”

Hu Zhicheng hurriedly said: "This person is not an ordinary disciple of the Spirit Dao Academy, he has just won the first place in the small meeting of the Three Courtyards, and he is still a martial arts cultivator. ”

Zhu Huaishi snorted, "So what?" No matter what, he is just a disciple who has been cultivating for less than three years, and he has not yet become famous. ”

Hu Zhicheng knew that he couldn't speak clearly, so he confessed to a crime, and asked Zhu Huaishi to walk out of the mourning hall and said: "Then what if Zhao Lin went out to perform two missions, and the cumulative amount of good deeds exceeded 5,000?" ”

Zhu Huaishi's eyes widened, and he blurted out: "Impossible, how can he be such a disciple?" What kind of quest can earn so much good deeds, purple level quest? ”

Good deeds represent a monk's qualifications and abilities, which can not only be exchanged for cultivation resources, but also used as a step to advancement.

The sect has always been very strict about good deeds, and it is difficult for ordinary Qi Refining Realm cultivators to accumulate so many good deeds without five or eight years, let alone a disciple of the Spirit Dao Academy.

Hu Zhicheng patiently explained: "The little son-in-law is doing things in the Hall of Good Merit, and he knows these inside stories, how can he deceive Taiyue? ”

"The first time Zhao Lin performed the gold-level task, he caught two bandit cultivators in the late stage of qi refining and killed the ghost cultivators in the Yin Wind Valley."

"At the end of the year, he carried out another white-level mission, killing fourteen Earth Dark Sect cultivators in a row, do you think this is something that ordinary people can do?"

"This person is a genius in magic, and he is highly regarded by the head of the Spirit Dao Academy and the elders, and his future is limitless."

After Hu Zhicheng finished speaking in one breath, Zhu Huaishi didn't speak for a long time, and only said after a while: "On the way to cultivation, the one who reaches the path is the first, the old man will go to see him, and you can do it too." ”

After that, he tidied up his clothes, walked quickly to the door of the mansion, and said to Zhao Lin enthusiastically: "Old man Zhu Huaishi, Xiaoyou is Zhao Lin of the Lingdao Academy?" ”

Zhao Lin didn't expect the mansion master to come out to greet him in person, he felt a little surprised, and when he saw Hu Zhicheng on the side, he understood a little, and arched his hand: "After the end of the school, I entered Zhao Lin, and I saw the mansion master, Senior Brother Hu." ”

"Please!"

Zhu Huaishi took a false lead, invited Zhao Lin into the house, and said as he walked: "I heard the housekeeper say, Xiaoyou is here to pay tribute, I don't know how Xiaoyou knew my ancestor?" ”

Zhao Lin said: "I haven't seen it." ”

Zhu Huaishi and Hu Zhicheng looked at each other, not knowing which one Zhao Lin was singing.

Zhao Lin took out a book from his arms and sighed faintly: "Although Zhao has never met Ling Zu, he has benefited a lot from Ling Zu's writings. ”

"It can be said that I can have today's cultivation thanks to the guidance in Ling Zushu."

"I wanted to have the opportunity to thank you in person, but I didn't expect a sonorous side, sad and sad......"

When it comes to emotion, he hides his face with his hands and choks up and can't speak. (End of chapter)
