The opening of a passage.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
In the morning, the sound of the morning bell rang out, startling a flock of birds in the surrounding forest.
Creak — —
Several rooms in the East Courtyard of the South Temple were opened at the same time. Tang Jin and the others walked out from inside.
"Yawn, what's with this lousy place ringing the bell so early in the morning?" Situ Lingli complained as she stretched her body.
Xiao Yu was also sleepy, as if she hadn't woken up yet. "Probably because they don't have chickens."
Today was already the fifth day. According to the calculations of the experts of the major forces, the passage to the Cleansing Fruit of Woe would open today.
During these five days, many people had arrived from all directions. The rooms in the South Temple had been fully occupied. Tang Jin, Situ Lingli, and Wang Kui occupied eight rooms in the East Courtyard. The remaining two rooms were occupied by He Dong and the other two who had arrived on the same day.
Because there were only two rooms left, He Dong and He Xi could only share one room and Lin Ling 'er could share the other. As for the rooms in the West Courtyard? That really wasn't a place for people to live … It was too shabby.
"Yo, benefactors, you're all up?" As soon as they came out, Hu Shuo's voice came from outside the courtyard. Then, they saw Hu Shuo walking in with a large basin. "Young Monk has cooked some porridge for all of you and specially brought it over."
Sensible placed the large basin on the stone table in the middle of the courtyard. Everyone saw that the basin was filled with white flowers.
The rice porridge, which was full of grains, was flashing an attractive white luster.
This little monk's porridge was pretty good.
"Tsk, little monk, if you want to freeload off us, just say so. You don't have to say all these nice things," Situ Lingli said straightforwardly. She immediately exposed Hu Shuo's intentions.
At this time, Xiao Yu had already carried the table out of the room and placed it in the middle of the courtyard. He Dong, Jiang Zhe, and the others also moved the stools and waited for Tang Jin to serve the dishes and then start eating.
Originally, He Dong and the others were not familiar with Tang Jin. In the beginning, they were too embarrassed to eat Tang Jin's food. However, the vegetarian dishes in this temple were too unpalatable. Moreover, after a few days of interaction, although they were not good friends with Tang Jin, they were already familiar with each other. After eating for a few days, they did not feel anything.
Upon hearing Situ Lingli's mocking words, Hu Shuo chuckled and did not refute. After placing the large bowl of porridge on the table, he sat down on the stool. It seemed that this guy was really here to freeload!
After a few days of interaction, Hu Shuo would find all sorts of excuses to freeload off Tang Jin at mealtimes. After a few meals, Tang Jin did not think much of it. Gradually, everyone got used to it. Situ Lingli was just casually saying it.
During breakfast, Situ Lingli looked at Hu Shuo and asked, "But, little monk, don't you have to attend your morning classes?"
"Hur hur, Benefactor Situ, you're too obsessed. Aren't I attending my morning classes right now? " Hu Shuo laughed and stuffed food into his mouth as he said, "There's no place in this world that isn't filled with Buddhas. Isn't doing that considered cultivation? Benefactor, you may be looking at Young Monk eating breakfast, but the Young Monk is reciting Buddhist scriptures in his heart. This is what they mean by 'wine and meat pass through the intestines, but Buddha remains in the heart'. Amitabha, Amitabha. "
Upon hearing this, everyone rolled their eyes. This guy was too good at talking nonsense. It was no wonder his Dharma name was Hu Shuo.
"Ptui!" Situ Lingli curled her lips and then looked at Tang Jin beside her. "Moneybags, why do you think this little monk is so thick-skinned? He's so good at quibbling."
Tang Jin chuckled and replied, "He relies on this to make a living. Everyone has their own specialties, so it's normal that you can't outargue him."
"Benefactor Tang is still the one who understands Young Monk the best. He's such a bosom friend. Why don't Benefactor Tang also become a monk and discuss the Buddhist dharma with the Young Monk every day? Wouldn't that be great? "
"…"
Everyone was very satisfied with the meal.
The dishes that Tang Jin brought out from the palace were all delicacies. After eating, they drank a bowl of light porridge served by Hu Shuo. It was really refreshing.
As today was the day that the passageway for the Cleansing Fruit of Woe would open, no one went out to have fun. After the group finished eating, they sat in the courtyard and chatted.
"Little monk, why aren't you going back? Why aren't those monks looking for you? "
"How can I leave just like that? My body is here, but my heart is with the Buddha. No one can find me or persuade me to leave. "
"You always have a reason. Don't call yourself Hu Shuo. Just call yourself Hu Youli."
"Amitabha …"
"…"
Just as the group of people were bickering and chatting, the ground suddenly shook.
Rumble!
"Look over there!" Wang Kui suddenly shouted as he pointed at the eastern sky.
Everyone looked in the direction Wang Kui was pointing and saw a rainbow-colored light appear out of thin air in the eastern sky. It was gradually becoming denser.
"Let's go! That's where the passageway opened! " He Dong said in surprise. After saying that, he led He Xi and Lin Ling 'er to the place where the rainbow-colored light appeared.
Wang Kui and the other two followed closely behind He Dong and rushed to the place where the passageway opened.
"Let's go! Rich man, what are you still standing there for? " Situ Lingli said anxiously as she looked at Tang Jin who was standing still and then at Wang Kui and the others who had flown far away.
Tang Jin still stood there and said unhurriedly, "Lingli, you go first. I still have something to do."
"You!" Situ Lingli glared fiercely at Tang Jin, then stomped her foot and chased after Wang Kui and the others.
Tang Jin smiled faintly and shook his head. With a thought, he shouted in a low voice, "External Avatar! Appear! "
A white light flashed from Tang Jin's body. Suddenly, a white light shot out and landed in front of Tang Jin, gradually condensing into a person.
With a feminine and handsome appearance, pale skin, and a luxurious white brocade robe, it was Tang Jin's External Avatar, the Unmelted Bones!
To enter the passageway of the Purifying Fruit of Woe, three people of the same cultivation must enter at the same time. The Unmelted Bones' cultivation was completely synchronized with Tang Jin's. This was also why Tang Jin was not flustered when he heard this restriction.
Tang Jin and the Unmelted Bones looked at each other and nodded. Together with Xiao Yu, the three of them turned into three streaks of light, two purple and one white, and flew towards the place where the rainbow-colored light appeared.
When Tang Jin arrived at the entrance of the passageway, there were already many people gathered there. There were at least ten thousand people.
The crowd formed a circle. In the center were the three rainbow-colored light doors. The people surrounding them were Situ Lingli, Wang Kui, He Dong, and the others in the innermost circle. Then, the outer circle was the Enlightening Stage, Dongxu Stage, and Yuanying Stage disciples of the biggest forces. Further out were the core disciples of the smaller forces, and so on.
Tang Jin discovered in the air that in the core group of people, in addition to Situ Lingli's group, there were many people who could stand shoulder to shoulder with the three super forces? It seemed that the information obtained from the bandits was not very accurate. At least, he did not know about some of the secrets of the continent.
Tang Jin's figure slowly descended and landed beside Situ Lingli and the others.
"Eh? Rich man, who is he? "Seeing the Unmelted Bones Avatar beside Tang Jin, Situ Lingli asked curiously.
"Him? Well … he is also called Tang Jin. "Tang Jin thought for a moment and explained.
"He is also called Tang Jin? Is he from the same family as you? How is that possible? How can the names be the same? "Situ Lingli wanted to get to the bottom of this matter." Hey, who are you? I didn't see you just now. How did you appear? "
However, no matter how Situ Lingli asked, the Unmelted Bones Avatar just stood quietly behind Tang Jin without any expression and did not answer.
Being ignored by the Unmelted Bones Avatar, Situ Lingli could not help but be furious. Just when Tang Jin was about to flip out, a man in black who Tang Jin did not recognize spoke: "Situ Lingli, who is he? How come I have never seen him before? Which force is he from? "
"Uh, him? He's just an outsider, he doesn't belong to any force … "
"Extraterrestrials? What right did an outsider have to stand here? He should be standing at the outermost periphery! "
In an instant, the situation became awkward. Everyone's eyes were gathered on Tang Jin. Some were doubtful, some were contemptuous, some were indifferent, and some were waiting to see a joke.
"Hey! I am talking to you! Hurry up and stand outside. This is not where you should be standing. Foreigner? What a joke. No matter what kind of person you are outside, in this Huan Chen Realm, you have to coil up if you are a dragon, and lie down if you are a tiger. Hurry up and get lost. This young master will treat it as if I have never seen you. Do you hear me? "
The man in black looked at Tang Jin arrogantly. His eyes were full of contempt, and he did not put Tang Jin in his eyes at all.
"That's right! Hurry up and get out! Is that where you should be standing? "
"Why are you talking nonsense with him? Just beat him to death. What is a foreigner pretending for?"
"Don't say that. Didn't you see that he seems to have an affair with Situ Lingli from that barren mountain? Be careful of Situ Lingli …"
"…"
Waves of discussion sounded from all around. Everyone pointed and whispered. Before Tang Jin could react, Situ Lingli was so angry that her face turned red.
"All of you, shut up!" Situ Lingli opened her mouth and suddenly shouted. When it reached everyone's ears, it actually suppressed the noise of tens of thousands of people.
"Tang Jin is my friend!" Situ Lingli's gaze swept across the crowd. Those who were looked at by Situ Lingli lowered their heads. Finally, Situ Lingli fixed her gaze on the man in black. "Zhou Ziyuan, Tang Jin's presence here has no effect on you. Do you have to go against me? Tang Jin is also a friend of Wang Kui and Lin Ling 'er! "
Hearing this, Zhou Ziyuan looked at Wang Kui and Lin Ling 'er's groups. Several people looked at each other. Except for Qi Sheng and Huang Ge, they all nodded. However, they only nodded. No one stood out to say anything.
Zhou Ziyuan, who had an idea in his heart, raised his eyebrows and sneered. "Miss Situ, even if he is your friend, you can't break the rules, right? Isn't that right, everyone?! "
As Zhou Ziyuan's voice fell, a wave of agreement sounded from all around. Situ Lingli was so angry that her face turned green.
"Zhou Ziyuan, do you have to go against me?!" Pointing at Zhou Ziyuan, Situ Lingli said exasperatedly.
"I don't dare, I don't dare. How would I dare to go against Miss Situ? It's just that the rules can't be abolished, right? "Zhou Ziyuan repeatedly said that he didn't dare, but the smile on his face didn't seem like he didn't dare. Zhou Ziyuan placed his gaze on Tang Jin, who was being protected by Situ Lingli, and said with disdain, "Brat, why don't you scram? Why don't you step forward? What kind of ability is hiding behind a woman? Is she your mother? "
As Zhou Ziyuan's voice fell, the surrounding people couldn't help but burst into laughter. Their gazes towards Tang Jin were filled with a trace of contempt.
