Chapter 244: Thinking of the Son and Keeping Him Alive Although Jiang Lin is still a little confused now, some things are very clear to him. That is, it is impossible that Grandma Hei would have nothing better to do than to entertain Jiang Lin. There must be other hidden secrets behind this arrangement made by the great protector of Tieshashan. And now, Jiang Lin is not really concerned about what the hidden story is. Because he was busy eating. It must be said that the Northeast is a very suitable place for Mu Guiying, especially in terms of food. As a female general on the battlefield, Mu Guiying has a generous temper and mainly relies on simplicity and roughness. The food in Northeast China also mainly relies on simplicity, roughness and large quantities to satisfy your hunger. So in the end, what was placed in front of Jiang Lin was a large table of... "Come, eat meat!" Mu Guiying took an iron fork and "threw" a soft and glutinous bear paw that was bigger than Jiang Lin's face onto the plate in front of Jiang Lin. "Uh-huh……"

Jiang Lin had a meatball in his mouth that he hadn't swallowed yet. He nodded hurriedly, picked up the bear paw and started shaking his head like a lion. At this time, the bear was not a powerful creature, but a brutal beast that the people wanted to kill as soon as possible. Seeing Jiang Lin's eating manner, which was not elegant at all but completely vulgar, Mu Guiying was very satisfied. In the mind of this female general, a man must be able to eat. I was worried that Taoist Xiao Jiang looked so thin and weak that he might not be worthy of Suzhen. But now it seems that Suzhen's vision is still very secure. I don’t know when I can attend the wedding of Suzhen and Taoist Xiao Jiang. Mu Guiying thought to herself. The master told her about this and asked her to try her best to take care of Suzhen. According to the master, Taoist Xiao Jiang's master said that in his eyes, Suzhen would be the perfect match for Taoist Xiao Jiang. I haven't had the chance to tell Suzhen this good news. "My lady, it's arranged." At this time, a heroic young man pushed the door and walked into the inn, shaking his arms. This man was none other than Mu Guiying's husband, the oldest general in the Zhou Kingdom and the only son of the Yang family in Tianbo Mansion. "eat first." Mu Guiying nodded and asked her husband to sit down. Now, there are only three people eating in the entire inn. The Yang family is wealthy and powerful, and now they are dealing with family matters, so renting an inn is not something worth mentioning at all. "Meet Brother Yang." Jiang Lin put down the bear paw that was only left with bones, wiped his mouth, and bowed to Yang Zongbao.

"Brother Jiang." Yang Zongbao smiled and nodded, saying, "My husband and I are both rough people, and we don't have that many etiquettes. But I treat Brother Jiang as my own family, so we can't be estranged." Mu Guiying nodded in agreement and gave her husband a thumbs up in her heart. Although my husband is a little weak, he is still very good at talking! Thinking in her heart, Mu Guiying looked at her husband and asked, "Husband, have you arranged it?" "It's settled. Our master's face is really useful." Yang Zongbao sighed, "I thought that if I could get a thousand-year-old tree, it would be enough, but I didn't expect that they would bring the King of Trees here." "Our master's reputation is more than just this." Mu Guiying said with a smile. At this time, Jiang Lin raised his head and asked in confusion: "My two brothers and sisters-in-law, although this Dragon Subduing Wood is only found in Iron Brake Mountain, it is a human thing after all. Is it so valuable?" "Generally, it's not a rare item, but the Dragon Subduing Wood that's over a thousand years old is different." Yang Zongbao laughed and said, "The name of the Dragon-Subduing Wood means "subduing dragons". But because it is a human thing, it is wishful thinking to want to subdue dragons." "So, after the Dragon Subduing Wood reaches 999 years old, it can no longer grow, simply because it does not live up to its name." "Brother Jiang said something wrong just now. It's not that the Dragon Subduing Wood is unique to Tiesha Mountain, but that Dragon Subduing Wood that is more than a thousand years old is only found in Tiesha Mountain." Yang Zongbao had something in mind. Jiang Lin suddenly realized what was going on and the image of Mang Tianlong flashed through his mind. It seems that only the grandfather of the Python family can bring out this thousand-year-old Dragon Subduing Wood. "The Dragon Subduing Wood in our hands is the king of trees in the entire Tiesha Mountain." Yang Zongbao said, looking at Jiang Lin, and said with a smile: "Although I don't know why Brother Jiang came to give me this Dragon Subduing Wood, I think I will need this wood." "We can only use half of this pill between my husband and me. I wonder if Brother Jiang can use the remaining half?" Upon hearing this, Jiang Lin recalled the volume of the six thousand year old Dragon Subduing Wood. Not to mention half of it, even one tenth of it would be enough. "enough." Jiang Lin nodded, and then asked: "Why do you two want the Dragon Subduing Wood?" Yang Zongbao and Mu Guiying looked at each other, and then Yang Zongbao said: "The previous emperor was immoral, and the current emperor has inherited the Purple Star Luck and ascended to the throne. Although it conforms to the will of the people, it is still somewhat turbulent." "The barbarians from the grasslands outside the Great Wall are knocking on the gate, and their troops are heading straight for Yanmen Pass." "It is even more outrageous that the world is against it. A priest used evil methods to set up a Heavenly Gate Formation." Yang Zongbao said: "This Tianmen Formation is very evil, and although Guiying and I have some skills, we are not proficient in it." "Also, we have to consider the casualties of our soldiers, so we came to ask for this Dragon Subduing Wood to break the Heavenly Gate Formation." Jiang Lin nodded and said, "I see."

After saying this, under the puzzled gazes of Yang Zongbao and Mu Guiying, Jiang Lin stood up and looked around the inn. This was only on the surface. In the perception of Yang Mu and his wife, Jiang Lin's spiritual sense was sweeping across the entire town unscrupulously, without missing a single thing. "Brother Jiang?" Yang Zongbao opened his mouth and wanted to say something with some confusion, but was interrupted by Mu Guiying beside him. Her husband didn't know, but she guessed something. Even if Jiang Lin also needed the Dragon Subduing Wood, he would never do such a trivial errand for no reason. And now, since Jiang Lin made a special trip to deliver the Dragon Subduing Wood, it means that there is probably something else going on here. After about three or four breaths, Jiang Lin looked at Mu Guiying and asked, "Senior Sister Mu, may I ask if there is anything worth mentioning around this town?" Jiang Lin's question was a bit strange and very general, but Mu Guiying could roughly understand what Jiang Lin meant. The things that are worthy of praise and attract the attention of a black law mage are naturally not some scenic spots. Mu Guiying pondered for a moment, slowly shook her head, and said: "There doesn't seem to be anything special around here, and..." She looked at the visible Iron Brake Mountain and continued, "This place is under the Iron Brake Mountain, there shouldn't be anything there." Mu Guiying asked with some doubt: "Did Brother Jiang get any news?" "If you knew any news, you wouldn't come to ask Senior Sister." Jiang Lin shook his head helplessly. They all knew that there must be something behind Hei Nainai's arrangement, but they had no clue at all. This town is at the foot of Tiesha Mountain. What kind of evil thing must it be that dares to hang around under the noses of the two ancestral immortals? "It seems that it is not in this town." Jiang Lin walked out of the inn thoughtfully, came to the street, and looked at the archway at the edge of the town. Behind him, Mu Guiying and her husband followed. Jiang Lin turned around and said, "I am going to walk around this town. Please leave half a piece of Dragon Subduing Wood in the town. I can take it when I return." "These are little things." Mu Guiying thought for a moment and said to Yang Zongbao, "My husband, you take care of the dragon-subduing wood, and I'll go shopping with Brother Jiang." "it is good." Yang Zongbao nodded and said, "Be careful." No one is a fool. Jiang Lin's strange behavior must have some deeper meaning. Jiang Lin nodded as if it was okay, and left the town with Mu Guiying. After walking out of the archway at the entrance of the town, Mu Guiying looked around and asked, "Brother Jiang, what do you think it will be?" "I don't know." Jiang Lin shook his head, took out the talisman with black characters on a red background from his sleeve and handed it to Mu Guiying. "Sister, do you recognize this talisman?" Since Grandma Hei had arranged for Jiang Lin to bring the Dragon Subduing Wood to Mu Guiying and her husband, it was hard to say whether there was anything related to Mu Guiying involved.

This is also the reason why Mu Guiying asked to follow her and Jiang Lin did not refuse. "This is……" Mu Guiying frowned, took the talisman and examined it carefully, but finally shook her head and said, "I can't recognize it, but I can confirm that it is a Taoist talisman, but that's all. There is not even any energy on it." Maybe this is just an ordinary, mundane thing? Mu Guiying thought to herself. When she looked up, she found that Jiang Lin had walked some distance away without her knowing it, and not far from Jiang Lin was a big tree on the side of the road. Mu Guiying saw that behind the big tree, a dark green and black skirt was faintly visible. As Jiang Lin walked over, the hem of the skirt disappeared, and Jiang Lin stood in front of the big tree, not knowing what he was looking at. Mu Guiying raised her eyebrows and thought, could this be another one of Brother Xiao Jiang’s romantic interests? If so, Suzhen, what kind of benefits do you have to give to senior sister so that she can help you? Mu Guiying thought to herself, and took just one step forward and arrived in front of Jiang Lin. "Brother Jiang, just now?" Hearing this, Jiang Lin shook his head slightly and said, "It's a..." As he spoke, he smiled helplessly and said, "I don't know how to describe this Taoist friend. You helped me twice, but I only met him once and I have never even seen his face." "This time, it's the third time." Jiang Lin raised his hand and pointed at the big tree in front of him. I saw that a piece of bark had been peeled off where the owner of the dark green skirt had stood. It was only a palm-sized piece, with a few beautiful hairpin-shaped characters in small calligraphy on it. Mu Guiying narrowed her eyes and sounded the alarm for Suzhen in her heart. This routine was really rare. He never shows his face and only seizes the opportunity to attack at the critical moment. Daoist Xiao Jiang was just feeling confused, but she immediately came out to give guidance. Not only did she maintain a sense of mystery, but there was also a hint of her skirt that made people think about it. Suzhen, you are in danger. "Nianzi Temple?" Mu Guiying recited the three characters in small calligraphy and looked at Jiang Lin with some confusion. "This seems to be the name of a temple?" "Nianzi Temple..." Jiang Lin repeated these three words, and said thoughtfully: "About thirty miles northwest of this town, there is a bit of incense and fire." "Go and have a look before we talk." Mu Guiying is an absolute action-oriented person. Now that she has a clue and the person is someone that Xiao Daoist Jiang can trust, there is nothing to say.

Although this sounded the alarm for Suzhen, she still had to do what needed to be done. Both of them were not ordinary people. After reaching a consensus, they were able to shrink the distance to an inch, and thirty miles was just a blink of an eye. Soon, a dilapidated and desolate ancestral hall appeared in front of the two. This ancestral hall has collapsed a little, and no one has cleaned up the broken bricks and tiles. When the wind blows, the broken window paper rustles, but it refuses to fall off. Above the ancestral hall, there is a crookedly hanging plaque, which is already in danger of falling down at any time. The three words "Baoshengci" can be vaguely seen on it. "Isn't it the Nianzi Temple?" Mu Guiying looked at the plaque of Baosheng Temple with some confusion. "Go and ask." Jiang Lin walked towards the Baosheng Temple. Although the temple was windy on all sides, it was not completely desolate. A few incense sticks with only a little bit of sticks left were flickering with weak flames. And in the corner, there was an old man huddled. The old man was wearing a tattered temple robe, the originally festive red color had long since faded beyond recognition. "Old man, you are polite." Jiang Lin stepped forward and bowed, but the old man hiding in the corner did not move. Seeing this, Jiang Lin touched his cuffs. ‘Dang Cang…’ The crisp sound of the copper coin falling on the table finally made the old man look up. "There is no incense here, bring your own." The old temple keeper spoke slowly, and then he put his head back down. "Old man, we are looking for the Nianzi Temple. Is it here?" Mu Guiying asked. Upon hearing this, the old temple keeper raised his head again and said hoarsely, "It's here... Whether it's the Baosheng Temple or the Nianzi Temple, it's all here. Anyway... there's no difference." Hearing this, Mu Guiying asked again: "What was the original name of your temple? Why did you change the name?" Seeing that the old temple keeper had no intention of answering, Jiang Lin threw a few more copper coins on the table. "do not know." The old temple keeper's answer was perfunctory and straightforward. "you are not……" Mu Guiying asked further, but was interrupted by Jiang Lin.

Suddenly, a dark evil aura appeared around Jiang Lin, which turned into a curtain and completely enveloped Jiang Lin and himself. Suddenly, a restriction was formed. Mu Guiying was stunned at first, and then followed Jiang Lin to the corner. The dark evil aura faded a little, blending completely with the dim shadows in the corner, becoming indistinguishable from each other. The old temple keeper didn't react at all. 'tread……' The sound of crisp footsteps rang out outside the Baosheng Temple. A tall figure walked in. It was a female general wearing pitch-black cold iron armor. The woman was very tall, more than two meters tall, and with the heavy armor on her body, she actually looked quite slender. She was not wearing a helmet. On her cold face, there was a scar running from the cheekbone to the corner of her mouth, and a pair of blood-red, ferocious eyes that seemed ready to devour anyone. "Is this the Nianzi Temple?" The woman spoke slowly, her voice as cold as she was. The bloodshot eyes also looked at the "only" living person in this dilapidated ancestral hall. "There is no incense here, bring your own." The old temple keeper still sat in the corner with his head down, as if he would not make any other movements or say anything else as long as he did not hear the sound of copper coins falling on the table. 'laugh! ’ This woman obviously did not have as good a temper as Jiang Lin. She took a step forward, and a wisp of ferocious blood energy leaked out. She turned into a winged evil beast and slowly walked towards the old temple keeper, wanting to devour this old man who could not understand human language. "Is this the Nianzi Temple?" The woman asked again. In her eyes, this was the last chance for the old human man in front of her to survive. Of course, even if she got the answer, the old man would only live a few more breaths. "If I were you, I'd run away right now." The old temple keeper finally raised his head and even smiled, revealing a row of neat, shiny teeth that were totally inconsistent with his age. Hearing this, the woman in black armor subconsciously followed the old temple keeper's gaze and looked at the table. A few copper coins lying on the dust gave her a fright. But obviously, it's too late. A voice three times colder than hers rang out. "Hellish demon." "Imprison the demon." (End of this chapter)
