Seeing Shen Lin's appearance, Ji Qingling felt a little unbearable.
"I'm not an immortal, I'm just a Taoist. I can't turn back from the dead. When a person dies, he is dead. You can only look forward and live your life well."
Shen Lin looked up at him. His eyes made Ji Qingling feel sad. For a nine-year-old child, all his parents and sisters were suddenly gone.
"What do you want to do in the future?"
"have no idea."
"Study and go back to your hometown?"
Shen Lin shook his head, "There are no relatives in my hometown anymore."
Looking at his appearance, Ji Qingling wanted to speak, but there was a commotion in the crowd over there.
It was already dawn, and some servants saw that Mr. Zhao was dead. Ji Qingling didn't seem to want to kill them. As greed overcame fear, these people began to search for money in various yards.
Ji Qingling directly restrained the servants with a spell. As for the abducted women, she encouraged them, "Each of you go find some money and leave on your own."
The women looked around to make sure that Ji Qingling was serious, and they all scattered to look for the valuable guy.
A few others ran to Ji Qingling and kowtowed before leaving, "Thank you, Immortal, thank you, Immortal!"
Ji Qingling looked at Shen Lin beside him, "You can go too."
"I dont go."
"Then what are your plans for the future? If there is no one in your hometown, there must be a house or land, right?"
The boy was silent for a while after hearing this. In the past two years, he had focused exclusively on rescuing his sister. Now that he heard that his only relative in the world was gone, he suddenly lost his direction.
"You come with me to Yuelai Inn first, we still have things to do."
Shen Lin knew that she was going back to find Zhang San and others, "Okay."
The Zhao Family Courtyard was not far from Yuelai Inn. Ji Qingling didn't want to cause a disturbance and chose to walk there with Shen Lin.
It was already early morning outside, and many vendors began to sell along the street with their burdens. A woman went out to buy vegetables with a basket, and the smoke of the secular world was everywhere along the way.
Ji Qingling looked at the straight back of the young man in front of him and felt a bit familiar.
Outside Yuelai Inn, the front desk clerk who had previously received Ji Qingling pointed at her with wide eyes, "You, you, you~"
"What did I forget after not seeing each other for a few hours?" Looking at the guy's reaction, Ji Qingling concluded that this person was also one of the participants.
This is Zhang San buying steamed buns and the like and returning to the inn to make breakfast.
His first reaction when he saw Ji Qingling was the same as that guy's, but his reaction was faster than that guy's.
No matter how this woman came out, he knew he was in trouble, so he just threw the bag and ran away!
With a bang, he was bounced back by a transparent wall and fell to the ground.
This time he didn't even have to move his fingers. With a thought, the accountant at the front desk was thrown onto Zhang San.
The two of them yelled a few times, and then Ji Qingling asked, "Besides you, who else knows about the kidnapping in this inn, your shopkeeper?"
Before the two of them wanted to speak at first, Ji Qingling waved his hand to close the door of the inn, and used a spell to hang the two of them on the beam in the lobby.
"Xia Xia, have mercy on me, Xia Xia, have mercy on me!" Zhang San thought he had met someone from the Jianghu, and was afraid to ask for mercy.
Ji Qingling's voice was still cold, "Just say whatever you ask. If you say any more nonsense, I will cut out your tongues."
"Just, just, our shopkeeper knows."
"Just you three?"
Ji Qingling looked at Shen Lin while asking. He had been staying nearby for more than a year. He might know something.
Shen Lin nodded when he saw this, "They were the only two in the inn at night. No one else except the shopkeeper should know about it."
This shopkeeper was probably a very careless person. As soon as Shen Lin mentioned it, a middle-aged man walked into the inn.
Seeing the two guys being hung up, the man was shocked and asked, "What are you doing?"
Ji Qingling looked at Shen Lin, and Shen Lin nodded, "He is the shopkeeper."
Whoosh!
The shopkeeper was sucked into the inn by a spiritual force, and this time he was burned to ashes without even asking any questions.
Zhang San and another guy were so frightened that they peed their pants. This was not a heroine at all. This was obviously the female King of Hell who was seeking life.
In the next moment, these two people were also burned to ashes by the spiritual fire.
Some guests heard the shouting and put on their clothes and ran out, but saw nothing and went back muttering.
Shen Lin watched from the side and let out some of the depression in his heart. His enemies were all dead!
He knelt down in front of Ji Qingling and kowtowed three times.
"Thank you Immortal Master for avenging this great revenge for our Shen family. I hope Immortal Master will tell you his name. Shen Lin will set up a longevity tablet to remember his kindness and pray for Immortal Master's blessings and longevity!"
Ji Qingling didn't know what to say. This was the first time in her life that someone wanted to set up a memorial tablet for her.
"It is my duty as a Taoist to eliminate violence and maintain good health, so there is no need to worry about it."
Shen Lin said Bai was just a child, and he only heard those words from his parents when he was at home.
Now that Ji Qingling said no thanks, he really couldn't do much for his benefactor when he thought about it.
"Thank you, Immortal Master."
After Shen Lin finished speaking, he stood up, turned around and walked towards the door. Passing by the bun dropped by Zhang San on the ground, he thought about it and picked it up, put it in his arms, and left!
Ji Qingling didn't know for a moment whether this child was a little too sincere. He knew clearly that he was some kind of immortal master, but he didn't ask her for a medicine or a talisman or something like that?
But the matter here has been resolved. Although she didn't go to the city unintentionally, it was still a good thing. She was in a good mood at the moment.
Stepping out of the inn door and seeing people on the street, I felt that life was still beautiful.
Passing by a restaurant, there was a stove at the door with a large flat-bottomed iron pot on it. The fried dumplings inside were piled high, which looked very appetizing.
“Beef pot stickers, beef pot stickers!”
The business of this restaurant was very good. It was full of people early in the morning. Ji Qingling found a table outside the store and sat down.
A little girl with a smile on her face and two pigtails came over to greet her, "What would you like to eat, sister?"
"Besides pot stickers, what else does your family specialize in?"
The little girl smiled with crooked eyebrows, "My beef pot stickers, beef pot helmets, and beef soup are all very popular."
Ji Qingling nodded, "Then bring twenty beef pot stickers, two beef pot helmets, and a bowl of beef soup."
The little girl saw her ordering a bowl of beef soup and asked, "Sister, are you eating alone?"
"Well, just go ahead and do it."
"Okay." The little girl stopped talking and was skeptical about Ji Qingling's appetite.
Soon, everything was served. After Ji Qingling tried the taste, he decided to buy some before leaving and put them in a storage bag to take away.
The pot stickers were sweet and salty with a tender upper part and a crispy bottom. The beef filling was delicious and served with tender meat and fresh beef soup. She finished twenty of them in no time.
The crust of Guokui is very crispy and fragrant, and the meat filling is a little spicy, which is very appetizing.
After eating and drinking, Ji Qingling secretly took out a clay pot with a handle from her storage bag and waved to the little girl from before.
"Another fifty pot stickers, ten pot helmets, and a clay pot of beef soup."
The little girl looked at the empty table and then at the clay pots she had never seen before, "You want so many?"
Ji Qingling smiled and nodded, "We have guests at home, and we won't be able to eat without them."
She wanted to buy more, but it was a pity that she couldn't put it in the storage bag in front of everyone.
When the little girl heard that it was a guest at home, she wanted to buy more. Her beef pot stickers are famously delicious in this city.
Carrying the packed food, Ji Qingling walked towards the city gate happily.
It's sunny and windy today, there will definitely be no more thunder, and we will finally go home.
Halfway through the journey, she habitually scanned the surroundings with her spiritual consciousness, and saw the boy Shen Lin from before sharing buns with two other little beggars.
One was taller than Shen Lin, the other was smaller but frighteningly thin and looked sickly.
The tall man laughed while eating, "Xiao Linzi, you are so lucky today, someone actually gave you a big meat bun!"
The little thin man also laughed, "Exactly, you didn't come back last night, cough, cough, cough, we guessed that you must have found a place to hide from the rain, and we left half a vegetable pancake for you, cough, we didn't expect to come back early in the morning. Let’s bring meat buns!”
Shen Lin, who was called Xiao Linzi, was also eating vigorously at this time, "I just met a good person, a great person! A great benefactor!"
The other two people were really enjoying themselves, and they didn't even know where the great benefactor came from.
At this time, the little skinny man didn't know if he ate too quickly, so he started coughing violently, "Cough! Cough!"
Shen Lin put down the bun in his hand, picked up the missing bowl next to him and gave him water, "Eat slowly, don't be in a hurry, there's more."
"Well, ahem, I understand."
It turns out that the purpose of picking up buns is to share them with friends.
Somehow it reminded Ji Qingling of Ah Hei, the guy she hadn't officially accepted as her disciple yet.
For a moment, she didn't want to think too much, so she raised her feet and walked past Shen and Lin.
"Is your friend sick?"
Shen Lin looked up and was a little surprised to see Ji Qingling, "Master Immortal!"
Ji Qingling asked again, "Is he sick?"
"Huh? Oh, yes, yes, his leg was injured before, but the doctor said it will be healed soon."
Ji Qingling frowned, seeing that the skinny guy didn't look happy.
Putting his palms on the top of his head, he soon discovered that the child had blood stasis in his body, as if his heart and lungs had been injured.
He injured his legs and internal organs, so it was unlikely that he had fallen.
"But he was beaten?"
Shen Lin nodded, "Exactly."
Ji Qingling knew that there was no need to explore further. A green light appeared in his hand, and he treated the child's injuries from the inside to the outside, starting from the foot injury.
Except for Shen Lin, the other two children all opened their mouths.
Shen Lin covered Xiaoshou's mouth and said to his friend, "Don't shout, this is the immortal master, she is treating your injuries."
Although the two of them didn't know the reason, they believed in Shen Lin very much.
Soon Ji Qingling took back his hand, and the thin man moved his legs and touched his chest. He was surprised and said, "It doesn't hurt anymore! It doesn't hurt at all!"
After saying that, he stood up and jumped twice to show himself to the other two people.
Shen Lin reacted quickly. He pulled his two friends to kneel down and kowtow to Ji Qingling, "Thank you, Master Immortal!"
The other two people also imitated his example, "Thank you, Master Immortal."
Ji Qingling looked at the three children, then thought about it and took out the spirit-testing stone, "You three put your hands on the stone respectively, close your eyes and just think about the stone."
After practicing immortality for so many years, Ji Qingling somewhat believed in the word chance. She felt that she and this child might have some fate.
After the three people took the test, they all looked at Ji Qingling with a blank look on his face.
really!
This Shen Lin has some fate with her. Among the three, he is the only one with spiritual roots.
It's just that Ji Qingling doesn't have a spiritual platform in his hands, so he can only take him back to Taiyi Sect first.
"You are destined to be immortal, are you willing to practice Taoism with me?"
Three children, you look at me and I look at you, what do you mean?
Ji Qingling cleaned up the three children with a cleaning spell, "Look, this is the simplest little spell. If you are talented enough, flying into the sky and escaping from the ground is not a problem."
Only then did Shen Lin understand. He pointed at himself and said, "Master Immortal, do you mean that I can be like you?"
Ji Qingling nodded, "That's pretty much what it means. Cultivation depends entirely on talent and hard work."
"Then we do!"
"It's not you, it's just you. There is no immortal connection between the two of you."
Shen Lin was a little stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly pulled the two of them to protect Ji Qingling eagerly, "Don't worry, Immortal Master, just teach me. Although they are not too smart, I will teach them well and they will work hard." ,Yes or no?"
After saying that, he teased the two friends next to him.
This has been the case for more than a year. Shen Lin is smart and always comes up with ideas for everything. The two friends cooperate. Because of this, the three of them are not starving to death and have saved some money. But a few days ago, I gave it all to the little thin man to see the doctor.
The two little guys kept nodding, "Don't worry, Immortal Master, we will learn from Xiao Linzi."
Ji Qingling shook his head, "What I mean by immortality can also be called spiritual roots. They are innate and cannot be acquired through hard work. As you just saw, the light appeared only when he was holding the stone. "
"So the immortal master doesn't teach them, but only teaches me?"
"Yes, and the sect I belong to is far away from here. After you leave with me, the three of you will probably not have the chance to meet again. The so-called immortal fate is hard to find, so think carefully about it yourself."
Shen Lin lowered his head and thought for a long time, and then bowed deeply to Ji Qingling, "It's not that Shen Lin doesn't know how to appreciate others. They brought me out of the mass grave. I can't abandon them. Shen Lin can only thank Xian." Teacher is kind."
When Shen Lin woke up in a mass grave, he was seriously injured and unable to move. He was rescued by two people. Seeing that he was still breathing, they gave him the only food he had.
It was also because of this that Shen Lin managed to save his life. Now that his great revenge had been avenged, he had nothing to seek. Whether he practiced Taoism or not, it did not have much appeal to him.
"So you refuse to leave with me?"
Shen Lin nodded heavily, "I won't leave with the Immortal Master. Please forgive me for my sins!"
Ji Qingling sighed and handed over the food he had just packed.
"I can't force this thing, but I feel that I am destined to you, so I will wait for you outside the city for two hours. If you don't come, I will leave."
After saying that, he stopped stopping and shot straight into the sky!
The remaining three people just looked up and watched Ji Qingling fly high in a few breaths, never to be seen again!
