Chapter 224 Intricacies
Lin Sheng smiled and nodded: "That's natural."
Speaking of the Withered Heart Nourishing Demon Sutra, I have to thank God for his blessing. If the Time Inn hadn't taken him by force, I'm afraid he would still be worrying about the Foundation Building method today.
"Brother, what a good opportunity." Nangong Aotian looked envious.
"Haha, although you don't have the Gold Core method, doesn't the leader's wife know the Great Demon Devouring Heaven Technique? Isn't it the same as the Body Refining method?"
Nangong Aotian shook his head: "The family-inherited Nascent Soul method conflicts with the Body Refining Law Manifestation. The spiritual platform already contains purple energy, so I cannot learn this method."
"Oh?" Lin Sheng looked surprised, was he cultivating purple energy in the spiritual platform? This Nascent Soul method sounds quite powerful.
Nangong Aotian smiled slightly: "Haha, look at my brother's expression, but you want to observe the purple energy in my spiritual platform?"
"That's right." Lin Sheng nodded. He wanted to see what this purple energy looked like.
"Okay, I will take action on the next Monster so that my brother can appreciate the Purple Qi Sea Nagong of my Nangong clan."
"Okay, okay."
Lin Sheng responded with a smile and glanced at the surrounding sea. The originally calm sea suddenly had waves, and the sky gradually became darker.
Nangong Aotian looked up at the dark clouds in the sky: "Look at this, a storm is coming."
As soon as he finished speaking, heavy raindrops fell down, strong winds rose on the sea, and the waves rolled.
"Go to heaven!"
Lin Sheng put away the stone table and took out the flying sword to hold it up. The Spirit Fire Toad immediately shrank and jumped onto his shoulder.
"Brother, look over there!" Nangong Aotian suddenly reminded in a startled voice.
After hearing this, Lin Sheng looked into the distance and saw a huge, dilapidated ship in the storm, splitting the waves and sailing slowly by.
The superstructure of the ship turned out to be a huge rotten head. On the deck, stood countless waving figures, smiling and looking extremely happy.
In the dantian, the happy souls were trembling. Even if they were thousands of meters apart, Lin Sheng could recognize them at a glance. The people waving were clearly happy souls.
"Brother, that's..."
Nangong Aotian's face was solemn, and he could feel that the dilapidated ship was full of strangeness and ominousness.
"Let's go!"
Lin Sheng's expression was also extremely solemn, and his sword flew towards the clouds. Without even thinking about it, the ghost ship must also be a place of laws.
Nangong Aotian quickly followed up with his sword, and he had some guesses in his heart.
After a few breaths, two rays of light broke through the dark and heavy clouds and came to the top of the clouds.
The sun shone on his body again, and Lin Sheng suddenly felt refreshed, and the depression in his heart also disappeared.
Nangong Aotian's eyes flickered: "Brother, that ship..."
"Exactly what you thought, a strange ship."
Lin Sheng's face softened slightly, and the dark clouds under his feet had gradually gone away. Looking at the direction of movement, it was consistent with the direction of the ghost ship. Could it be that the dark clouds were moving with the ghost ship?
Nangong Aotian looked surprised: "This is strange. I encountered this weird thing as soon as I left the palace. Am I also a person with great luck?"
"Huh? What do you mean by this?" Lin Sheng was confused and turned to look at Nangong Aotian.
"According to the clan records, although this strange place appears irregularly, every time it appears, there must be someone with great luck around it."
Nangong Aotian looked thoughtful and said: "Since my brother has entered a strange place and still came out alive, he obviously has great luck to protect him."
"The appearance of this ship should be related to my brother and has nothing to do with me."
"Big luck? Haha."
Lin Sheng smiled hoarsely and shook his head: "I should say he is an unlucky person. In a place where he narrowly escaped death, he still has great luck."
"No, no."
Nangong Aotian waved his hand: "The unlucky guy is just a foil. It is precisely because of the unlucky guy that the lucky person can be set off."
Lin Sheng smiled and did not explain too much: "Listen to what Xiandi said, the Nangong clan has recorded many strange places?"
Nangong Aotian nodded: "There are several records of strange places in the clan, but they are just words."
"Oh? Let's talk about it." Lin Sheng became interested immediately. He liked to hear this the most.
"Brother, I'm chatting while flying. I wonder if brother has ever heard of Wangyi Academy?"
"Of course, it's in Xiaohe Village, Nayue Country."
"Haha, the place where Wangyi Academy first existed was on Tianxing Island."
"oh?"
"Speaking of Wangyi Academy, we have to mention the Situ clan."
. . .
The sun was high in the sky, and on the beach, a few half-naked, dark-skinned men pulled out several soaked corpses from the sea.
Many people gathered on the shore. They looked at the scene on the beach, their faces were extremely heavy, and their brows were full of sorrow.
"Village Chief, the black fish spirit has really come again, what should we do?"
"Yes, it requires two pairs of offerings every month this time, but now there are no babies born in the village."
"I told you not to invite the Immortal Master a long time ago. Is that okay now? I made this black fish spirit angry, and now he has doubled the offering. What do you think we should do?"
"What if I don't invite the Immortal Master? You're such a slutty bitch, but you're making sarcastic remarks here because you don't want to have a baby!"
"Who are you calling the gambling dog coquettish? You invited the Immortal Master, but what happened? The Immortal Master slapped his ass and left, and this black fish spirit is back."
"Okay! Stop arguing!"
A white-haired old man punched the mud with a cane: "Choose a few more guys to go to the Nine Star Alliance for help."
"Village Chief, no, this black fish spirit obviously wants to trap us here. No matter how many people are sent out, they will be destined to die."
"Yes, look at the corpse on the beach. This black fish spirit deliberately washed the corpse back to give us a warning."
"Either...or we just follow the wishes of the black fish spirit, and we hand over offerings to it, and it will protect our peace."
"Zhang Ergou! You...are you still a fucking human!"
"Sigh... I'm not a human, but now we have the protection of the black fish spirit. Our little shrimp island is much safer than the outside. Doesn't it just want blood? We just need to give birth to more babies."
"You...Zhang Ergou, you are simply a beast!"
"Okay, okay, I am a beast and you are human beings. Let's talk slowly. This beast is going to go home and sleep."
"You... Damn it, I can't bear it anymore, bring me my knife, I'm going to chop him to death, you bitch, don't run away!"
The crowd on the shore suddenly jumped up and down. A young man inadvertently glanced at the sky, his face was stunned, and he was immediately overjoyed: "Look, everyone, there is an Immortal Master!"
"Immortal Master? Where is the Immortal Master?" The people turned their heads and looked around.
"In the sky, there are two Immortal Masters flying this way!"
"Oh? It's true! The Immortal Master is here! The Immortal Master is here!"
. . .
In the sky, two figures were flying slowly.
Lin Sheng touched his chin thoughtfully: "So, the Situ clan, like your Nangong clan, moved to Tianxing Island from Dongzhou?"
Nangong Aotian nodded: "Yes, but because Situ Ming disappeared in Wangyi Academy, the Situ family has completely declined. Now it is just a mortal family on Tianxing Island."
"Then how long has Wangyi Academy existed on Tianxing Island?"
"Let me think about it...the academy was there when Nangong and the Situ clan moved to Tianxing Island. By the time Situ Ming disappeared, the academy had existed on the island for about a thousand years."
Nangong Aotian looked thoughtful and said: "Many monks have disappeared during this period. If Situ Ming had not been about to expire, he would not have entered the academy."
"But not long after he entered the academy, the academy quietly disappeared, and then appeared in Dongzhou Yue Kingdom."
Lin Sheng frowned slightly: "So, this academy has existed on Tianxing Island for a thousand years, and now it has existed in Xiaohe Village of Yue Kingdom for another fifteen hundred years."
Nangong Aotian nodded: "Yes, this academy is extremely weird. Brother, don't take any risks. As far as I know, no one who enters this academy can come out alive."
‘That’s because you are ignorant, so I came out alive. ’
Lin Sheng thought to himself, smiled and asked, "Why did Situ Ming disappear and the Situ family decline?"
"This is about the alliance leader. The Situ clan was in charge of the Nine Star Alliance more than three hundred years ago..."
"I see."
Lin Sheng nodded slightly and looked surprised: "I heard that the Nangong clan was also liquidated by the alliance leader. Why now..."
"Haha, it's just what everyone else says." Nangong Aotian smiled, his face slightly unnatural.
‘If you don’t cultivate your mind well enough, you can’t do it without changing your face. ’
Looking at this look, Lin Sheng knew that Nangong Aotian must have told a lie, and there must be something hidden in it, but he was too lazy to dig into it.
"Besides Wangyi Academy, have you ever heard of Time Inn?"
"Time Inn?" Nangong Aotian frowned slightly; "But an inn with red lanterns hanging on the courtyard wall?"
"That's right, there are records in your family about this time inn?" Lin Sheng looked surprised. Sure enough, the older the family, the more secrets they knew.
"The name recorded in the clan is not called the Time Inn, but the Lantern Inn."
Nangong Aotian looked thoughtful: "It is said that there is a shopkeeper among them who knocks on the door with a lantern every night to deliver meals."
"Huh? Where did this news come from?"
These words made Lin Sheng a little confused. It was completely different from what he had seen.
Nangong Aotian shook his head: "I don't know either. Time is too long and many things cannot be verified."
Lin Sheng's heart moved: "Have you ever heard of Wang Duobao?"
"Wang Duobao?"
Nangong Aotian frowned, and after thinking for a while he shook his head: "I have never heard of Wang Duobao, but the shopkeeper in the Lantern Inn is named Wang."
"???"
Lin Sheng was startled, and a chill ran down his spine. Could this Wang Duobao be the shopkeeper of Time Inn?
‘Hey, this is really possible. Why does he know so much about the rules of the Time Inn? ’
‘Why did he say that great terror is coming to stop me from detecting other monks? ’
‘Why did he lure me to deal with that female corpse? ’
‘Why did he deliberately hide important information and prevent me from eating steamed buns and fine wine? ’
'Man why did you turn a blind eye to me changing drinks? ’
‘Is it because he is the shopkeeper? ’
