"What's going on?" Lin Ji clapped his hands and stood up and said with a smile, "You'll know in a moment. In this way, no matter Yunzhou or Liangcheng, don't leave in a hurry. Follow Lin to see a place first. It’s lively, it just so happens that Lin needs a little help from you.”
The boatman had a puzzled look on his face but before he could answer, he saw Lin Jimeng's foot stepping on the oar.
Snapped!
The other end of the oar suddenly fell into the water, causing a wave of more than ten feet high.
With a roar, the boat rushed towards the shore.
Lin Ji hooked his toes, and the oar whirled into the air, and then rushed down like a sharp sword.
There was a snap, piercing the stern of the boat and forcibly nailing the boat in place.
Without any explanation, Lin Ji grabbed the boatman's shoulder and lifted him ten feet away, then dropped him to the ground: "Let's go back to the city."
The boatman turned back and looked at the small boat that had already leaked and sunk. He was helpless but could not help himself, so he could only limp and follow Lin Ji.
Lin Ji slowed down his pace, and while walking side by side with the boatman, he asked with great interest: "Although you are practiced in sorcery, when I just arrested you, the way you deliberately dodge seemed to be... picking off Star hand, right?"
The boatman was stunned, but before he could answer, Lin Ji added: "Don't tell me where you got a secret book by chance. It's like a snake coiling around in fear and a wolf fleeing. Just like pinching one's tail, this is an instinctive reaction in a hurry. If... Lin's guess is correct, you are a disciple of Taiyi, right?"
"This..." The boatman hesitated for a moment and had to admit: "The Heavenly Official has a good eye. I have indeed entered Taiyi."
Lin Ji nodded and said: "Taiyi Sect has a profound and long history. Not to mention in Xiangzhou, even if you look at the world of Jiuzhou, there are few people who can compare with it. With your qualifications, even if you are not selected as the direct successor by several elders, at least you can do it. A senior fellow from the inner sect is more than enough. With the inheritance and resources of the Ether sect, there is no need to worry about breaking through and even being promoted to the Tao, so why would you betray the sect and learn the evil way?"
"I..." the boatman said doubtfully, "during a trial when I was young, I mistakenly killed the direct disciple of the second elder. I was so afraid of punishment that I ran away."
"Really?" Lin Ji glanced at him and said, "But as far as Lin knows, if such a thing really happens, it can only mean that you have outstanding talent, and the elders of Taiyi Sect will only give you a small punishment to show off. Then. They will fight for each other secretly, everyone wants to accept you as a disciple! And, as you said, if the Taiyi Sect abandons the disciple and rebels, will the Dao Formation Sect dare to accept you again? "
As soon as he heard the words "Dao Zhen Zong", the boatman's expression suddenly changed and he immediately stood still.
He looked at Lin Ji blankly, as if he was far more shocked than when he was blocked in the boat just now.
Lin Ji also stood still, crossing his arms and looking at him with a smile.
After being stunned for a while, the boatman suddenly said: "So it turns out that Lin Tianguan and his delegation from Weicheng did not do this randomly, but came specifically to check on me?"
"You overestimate yourself!" Lin Ji snorted and said with a smile, "When the Qin Dynasty is here, if there is an evil person at the top of the Six Realms who does evil and brings disaster to one party, it is indeed worth the visit of the heavenly official. But as you said , Now that the great Qin wind has dissipated, the Supervisor Tiansi is like yesterday's flower. Even if you cause trouble in Weicheng, there are still four major aristocratic families and the Jindingshan Mingguang Mansion. There is no need for Lin to intervene, but this matter concerns the old Linan thief. Lin wants to get to the bottom of it!"
"Lin hates people most in his life when others deceive me, and they use such inferior deception techniques. It is simply an insult to my intelligence."
The boatman was stunned, obviously not understanding what IQ meant, but he felt that there was a raging anger hidden behind Lin Ji's seemingly harmless smile.
"Let's go." Lin Ji raised his chin and said, "Don't worry, I always keep my word. As long as you help me with this small favor, I, Lin, will never break my promise."
After receiving Lin Ji's assurance, the boatman's expression softened a little. At this time, he couldn't fight or escape, so he could only follow with lame legs.
Considering his cultivation level at the peak of the Sixth Realm, this little skin injury on his leg was nothing. At most, it was just a slightly slower movement. But the strange thing is that there seems to be some special restrictions on the sword, as if it is the nemesis of the evil magic he practices!
The boatman always felt that there was a pair of eyes on the sword, staring at him!
If Lin Ji hadn't taken control, he might have flown in at any time to fight him to the death.
Although Lin Ji had already put away his sword, the boatman still had Yu Ji in mind and deliberately walked on the other side.
"Lin Tianguan, how did you... come to know the base of my Dao Formation Sect?" After taking two steps, the boatman asked in confusion.
"It's very simple." Lin Jidao, "In order to cover up a lie, you often have to make up countless lies to cover it up. In order to deceive me, you did tell a lot of truths, but lies are lies after all, but they can't be covered up at all! "
"For example, you told Lin at the beginning that Zhao Weiguo hid in the water prison every day and practiced evil arts. If it was just other evil arts, Lin might not know all about it, and he might have been deceived by you, but you just He said that what he was practicing was an evil Buddhist practice!"
Lin Ji smiled and said, "Do you know what seals the Demon Suppression Tower?"
The boatman nodded and said, "It's the Buddhist pestle for subduing demons."
"That's right! The Demon-Conquering Pestle has been in Lin's hands for many years, and Lin clearly remembers every curse mark and line on it. It just so happens that the curses on every pillar in the dungeon are exactly the same! Each pillar is equivalent to a weakened Demon-Conquering Pestle. Perhaps you have already known that the Demon-Conquering Pestle is the object of the Evil Buddha, and it is the most suitable place to practice the Evil Buddha's skills. From this, Zhao Weiguo secretly fabricated The lie about hiding in a water prison and practicing the evil Buddha's skills is naturally logical and has no flaws!"
"It's a pity... what you don't know is that Lin has seen the evil Buddha himself, and even seen two of them at the same time!" Lin Ji stretched out two fingers and said: "The good and the evil will never stop until death."
"Lin once entered the core of the Demon Suppression Tower, and saw how the formation worked, and it was sealed by Lin himself! The Demon Suppression Tower even collapsed in front of me. I have seen the foundation stone broken, and I have seen That's broken. As I see it, this water prison itself is another demon-suppressing tower!"
"The evil Buddha who had no good thoughts back then still had destructive power after entering the pagoda, let alone Zhao Weiguo, who was only in the early stage of the Sixth Realm?"
"The great formation of the Demon Suppressing Tower is not about suppressing and dissolving, but about devouring and cultivating the poison! It's fine if you don't practice the evil Buddha's technique. If you practice alone in the tower, you are courting death!"
"Although there is no magic pestle to suppress him in the water prison, it is not something that he, a mere six realms, can withstand alone!"
】
"You may also know what this water prison was originally used for. He can't suppress even Zhao Weiguo, so what's the use of building this water prison?"
"And this is your biggest lie and flaw!"
Of course, there was one more thing Lin Ji didn't say, he was also able to understand Buddhism.
