Chapter 41 A little conscience, but not much
Lin Du not only got the list of the 217 monks, but also their respective characteristics, strengths, and skills.
Judging from the bones of the city lord, his cultivation is no less than that of the 217 monks, which means that perhaps at the beginning, this group of people really wanted to save the world.
But the people who saved the world ended up destroying the world for their own survival.
This remnant thought was almost exhausted after giving out the list.
Lin Du thought for a moment, "City Lord, your obsession is to save the world, but the people are dead. But I have a request. Those 197 people were against the will of heaven. They are extra to our Dongming Realm. In order to conceal the secrets of heaven, it is difficult to say what they will do. I am insignificant and need stronger evidence."
She took out a piece of soul-nourishing wood from her storage ring. This thing is precious and most importantly, it is generally not used. If she was not a formation master, she would not bring it at all.
"Are you willing to save the people of our Dongming Realm?" "
We cultivators understand life and death, seek the right way, punish evil and promote good, and benefit all living beings. We should do our best."
Lin Du bowed respectfully and put the faint remnant of the breath into the soul-nourishing wood.
"Uncle Junior Master?" Yuan Ye's eyes flashed with a trace of thought, "What are you doing?"
"There must be some evidence." Lin Du pointed at himself, "How credible do you think a little disciple's words are? Elder Ju Yuan will believe us, but there are countless sects in Zhongzhou, will they believe it?"
Even if the demon willow eats people, who can prove that the 197 people really escaped?
Who can spend time and energy to verify and hunt down the 197 people they mentioned, and even suspect each other?
Yuan Ye always felt that the little master seemed to be full of doubts about the world.
She just used the first sect in Zhongzhou to attract the trust of the city lord, but she did not trust the credibility and appeal of the first sect in Zhongzhou among the sects in Zhongzhou.
She thought first and sought the truth later, calculating and pondering every step, just like trying her best to make the emperor believe that there were bad uncles. But how old is the junior master this year?
Even if he is a member of the royal family, he probably won't be so suspicious of people at this age.
Lin Du didn't know what Yuan Ye was thinking. Even if she knew, she would just smile and pass it by.
The two walked side by side to the inner storehouse of the City Lord's Mansion.
"Junior Master, tell me, how true is what the city lord said? If it is true, why didn't those people kill him?"
"Because they don't want to waste it."
"What?"
Lin Du repeated, "They don't want to waste the power sacrificed by a living high-level monk."
If he died early, then the city lord would have no value.
Before the sacrifice, they all wanted the people in this world to live well.
Lin Du broke the formation, and then he and Yuan Ye raided the entire inner storehouse.
All materials and spiritual medicines belonged to Lin Du, magic weapons belonged to Yuan Ye, and spiritual crystals and gems were divided in half.
"We are still carrying the remnants of the city lord, isn't it a bit bad to just collect his things like this?"
When they walked out of the city lord's mansion, Yuan Ye suddenly felt guilty and asked in a low voice.
"It doesn't matter, I put it in another storage ring, he can't see it." Lin Du stretched out his hand, with his index finger and thumb open, and two plain wide silver rings shone with a plain brilliance.
Yuan Ye felt ashamed of himself, but he was still the junior master.
He has a little conscience, but not much.
The two separated again. When Lin Du entered a medicine shop, he found that there were already people inside. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he heard a very surprised and gentle female voice, "Lin Du?"
Lin Du turned his head and saw Du Shao, who was wearing the water-colored disciple uniform of the Nine-Leaf Bell Lotus of the Je Sejong, with a crystal peony pinned on her hair bun, and a happy smile between her eyebrows.
"Finally I ran into you. I wanted to say hello to you before, but there were so many people at that time, so it was not convenient for you to see me."
Lin Du nodded to her, stood at the door frame, and glanced at the alley, "Sister Du Shao, how are you these days?"
"All right, come in, I haven't finished searching this pharmacy."
Lin Du nodded, "I'm here right now, sister, you take your own things first."
Du Shao continued to search after hearing that. Not long after, she heard Lin Du ask from the side, "There is a restriction in the inner warehouse of this pharmacy. Did you break it?"
She shook her head, "This pharmacy seems to be the best pharmacy in this city. Even the cold jade boxes are used to store medicine. All the medicinal properties are there. Do you need any medicine? I'll give it to you."
Lin Du smiled, but did not accept her kindness. He just walked behind the middle lattice door, "Let me try."
As she spoke, she probed the restriction, then punched the most vulnerable space. The restriction dissipated, and she calmly pushed the door open.
"Let's go in."
Du Shao stared at the door frame that was smashed by a punch, "Your hand?" "
It's just spiritual power, no problem." Lin Du had already begun to skillfully search for things.
Du Shao didn't believe it, so she went over to take a look. There was indeed nothing wrong with the right hand, only a slight redness at the joints, which was one of the few blood colors on her body.
"I see that your blood color is not good, probably because of a problem with your heart. You need to be careful when using spiritual power, and don't be too aggressive."
The medical classics are complicated, and five years can only be regarded as learning the basics. Du Shao wanted to help Lin Du, but now she can only give a few instructions.
Lin Du smiled and agreed. The two were about to go out when they suddenly heard a laugh.
Before Du Shao could react, Lin Du raised his hand to stop her.
Before she could ask, a stream of icy spiritual power penetrated into her throat, like a drop of snow on the tip of the tongue on a snowy day, and soon disappeared, but the cold taste of snow remained, and her vocal cords stopped making any sound.
Lin Du had read a lot of miscellaneous books. This spell does not hurt people, and it can be forced to be broken by spiritual power. She explained with telepathy, "Wait a minute, I'll unlock it for you later."
Du Shao looked at the boy helplessly, and then she was surprised that the boy who was half a head shorter than her before, but in just one year, he was as tall as her.
What did this child eat in the sect? He grew up too fast.
But soon, Du Shao's expression became solemn.
The male voice speaking outside seemed to be her fiancé, Li Dong.
The sect where Li Dong was located only had two quotas, so she was not surprised that a man and a woman were traveling together.
But what they said made Du Shao's eyes widen, and she even forgot to think about why Lin Du wanted to take her to hide in the medicine storehouse instead of going out to meet Li Dong.
"How are you? Do you still feel cold after taking the pills?" The woman's voice was concerned.
"A little bit. It's okay. I'm a man and can handle it." The man pretended to be nonchalant. "But this Lin Du is really sick. You should talk to the sect leader when you go back. You can't bully our small sect just because he is a disciple of the Supreme Sect, right?"
Ni Si sneered when he heard it. "That Lin Du is really hateful. He cheated people of their money and froze us under that man-eating willow tree without saving us. Fortunately, we escaped successfully. When I go back, I will definitely ask my father to seek justice for us."
"Hiss, I don't know why, I always feel cold, Sisi, aren't you cold?"
"It's okay for me. If you are cold, go find your sister in the Ji Shi Sect to ask for some pills. Didn't you say that she promised to come to the sect to exchange the foundation-building pills for you to build your foundation after this experience?"
"Does what you said before, that you would ask my father for marriage after returning from the secret realm, still count?"
The small sect has no alchemy cultivators, and elixirs are in short supply. The price of a foundation-building pill is extremely expensive outside, and there is a certain probability of failure in foundation-building. Only the daughter of the sect leader, Ni Si, can afford it.
Li Dong hesitated for a moment. He was sure that Du Shao would give it to him, but the last time he mentioned it, Du Shao didn't hear that he was asking for it.
Du Shao has already reached the Great Perfection of the Phoenix Initial Realm, and is about to build a foundation.
"I'll ask her for it when I meet her later. Sisi, after I successfully build my foundation, I will immediately ask the master to marry you as my Taoist partner. But I'm worried that I don't have enough resources and will fail to build my foundation..."
Li Dong said in a low voice with a sincere tone, "Believe me, I really like you, but as for the matter of marriage, only when I successfully build my foundation will I be qualified to stand up straight and ask you to marry me, right?"
Ni Si's voice softened when he heard it, "My father only cares whether I like it or not, not your cultivation. But you are right, then I will go back and ask my father to give you more resources for cultivation so that you can successfully build your foundation."
The two were talking outside, and suddenly there was a muffled sound inside.
"Who?" Li Dong frowned and held the spirit sword in his hand, "Eavesdropping on others? That's too immoral."
"Morality?" A very familiar casual tone came out from inside, and the green skirt swayed from the edge of the lattice door inside.
"Daoyou Li, playing two boats is immoral, don't you think?"
Lin Du walked out alone, with a happy smile between his eyebrows.
