Comprehension against the sky, creating the Five Thunders in the real world
Chapter 711 Stepping in
"Master, I found an old lady lying on the ground in the forest. I wanted to wake her up, but I couldn't. I went over to take a look and found that she was already dead, and it seemed that she had just died. Do you want to go and take a look?"
The little girl knew that the master often did good things, so she dared to say this.
Although Lin Beichen was injured by the mountain spirit, it was not serious, but he was still struggling.
His own injury had not yet healed when this incident happened.
Although he is a kind-hearted person, he can't take care of everything.
What's more, he is in poor health now and needs to help others.
So Lin Beichen said, "Don't worry about the old lady's affairs. I won't care about it."
The little girl was very puzzled, why was Lin Beichen unwilling to help others this time?
But when she saw the wounds on Lin Beichen's body, she understood.
The Taoist temple is very quiet, which helps Lin Beichen's wounds heal.
But at this time someone came to cause trouble.
"You guys here look nice, but they are actually beasts in human form. I don't know how many bad things they have done!"
"Many people think you are kind-hearted, but in fact you are very evil. We demand compensation for the losses!"
These people were shouting loudly in the Taoist temple, breaking the original silence.
People from the Taoist temple came out to maintain order and told them to shut up, because this was a sacred place and should not be desecrated.
"What? You did something bad and you don't want people to say anything? Then why did you do these bad things in the first place?"
These words left the disciples of the Taoist temple completely confused and at a loss for words.
"Ma'am, please be careful with your words. What bad things have we done? Can you tell us in detail?"
The lady said disdainfully, "Humph, you know the truth but you pretend to be ignorant. Don't you know what you did? Since you pretend not to know, I will tell you."
"Did my old lady die in your Taoist temple? In order to prevent others from finding her, you dragged her into the forest!"
The disciples of the Taoist temple looked at each other in bewilderment. When had such a thing ever happened in their Taoist temple?
"Ma'am, I think you must be mistaken. How could we do such a thing? It would be better if you investigate it thoroughly and then say something when you have evidence."
"You asked us to produce evidence, but we couldn't. However, the old lady did say a few days ago that she would come to the Taoist temple to help, but she didn't come home these days. We came to look for her and found her body in the mountains. You must have killed her and dragged her to the mountains!"
They insisted that the Taoist temple was responsible, leaving everyone helpless.
They insisted that the Taoist temple give an explanation and demand compensation.
There was no other way, the Taoist temple had to tell the public that Lin Beichen was injured, and they would give them an explanation after he recovered.
Only then did they agree to leave.
Lin Beichen intensified his training and his injuries healed quickly.
The Taoist temple told Lin Beichen the address of the old lady's family, and Lin Beichen went there.
"You want to take the old lady back to the Taoist temple? Are you trying to destroy the body?"
As soon as Lin Beichen mentioned taking the old lady back to the Taoist temple, they raised questions.
"You think too much. I am also confused about such a thing happening in the Taoist temple. We have always been known for doing good deeds. There must be something fishy here. That's why I want to take him back to the Taoist temple for investigation."
After convincing them, Lin Beichen brought the old lady back to the Taoist temple.
He used Taoist techniques to examine the corpse and discovered that it had negative energy. He immediately realized that the old lady's death was not normal.
But Lin Beichen couldn't find out exactly how he died.
So he placed the body in a place in the Taoist temple.
Lin Beichen thought it was just a corpse and no one would have any intention of taking advantage of it, so he didn't send anyone to guard it.
As a result, the body was lost in the Taoist temple, leaving only a pile of bones.
After the disciple discovered it, he immediately reported it to Lin Beichen.
"What should we do? The body is gone, only the bones are left. They will definitely haunt us and think we are the murderer."
“Now we can only wait and see what happens.”
Lin Beichen didn't expect this to happen.
We can only let things develop.
When the agreed time came, Lin Beichen did not return the old lady's body, and they became anxious. In order to wait for Lin Beichen to investigate, they had already missed the good opportunity to attend the old lady's funeral.
When Lin Beichen took the old lady away, he promised that he would give them an explanation regardless of whether the investigation was complete or not, and would also return the body and give compensation. But now there is no movement from Lin Beichen.
So they led their family members to the Taoist temple and made a big fuss.
"Lin Beichen, come out quickly! We agreed to return the body yesterday. We've been waiting for a whole day, but you haven't made any move!"
As soon as they arrived, they started cursing.
"I think you did this just because you don't want to give us an explanation or compensate us. How can you be so cunning? You said you've been doing good things all the time, but it's all lies!"
"Do you think we are easy to bully? I'm telling you, it's impossible! If you don't give us a satisfactory explanation for the old lady's matter, we will come to the Taoist temple every day to make trouble and make it impossible for you to maintain your normal business!"
These women are really good at talking. Lin Beichen's disciples couldn't get a word in. They were the ones doing all the talking the whole time.
There was no other way, Lin Beichen had to use Taoism to calm them down.
"I wanted to explain to you, but now the body is gone, only bones are left. I was trying to figure out how to tell you so you wouldn't be so angry. I didn't expect you to come."
After these words were spoken, they became even angrier and wanted to scold Lin Beichen again.
But Lin Beichen used the Taoist magic, and they were speechless and had to give up. However, their eyes revealed the anger of wanting to kill Lin Beichen.
At this time, Lin Beichen felt something was wrong, and went to the place where the bodies were stored, only to find that the bones had been taken away by a black cat.
Why would a black cat be interested in white bones?
Lin Beichen followed the black cat into the cave and actually found the old lady's body.
When those people saw Lin Beichen leaving the Taoist temple, they thought he wanted to escape, so they followed him and came here.
"You are so good, Lin Beichen, you actually hid my mother's body here!"
The old lady's son glared at Lin Beichen and asked, "Aren't you afraid that there are wild beasts in the mountains that will eat my mother's body?"
The old lady's nephew also echoed her words with fierce expressions.
Lin Beichen felt wronged. He did not leave the old lady's body here, and he had no idea who did it. He just followed the black cat to the cave and found the old lady's body by accident.
At this moment, he was really speechless and had no way to defend himself.
Just as everyone was arguing fiercely, no one noticed that the old lady next to them had come back to life.
She pounced on Lin Beichen and launched an attack. This sudden change caught Lin Beichen off guard, and he was hit hard by the old lady and was injured.
Lin Beichen quickly fought back, but the old lady turned and attacked her nephew.
When the nephew saw the old lady "awake", he was very happy at first and didn't realize the danger was approaching. He thought the old lady came to hug him because she loved him very much when she was alive.
So he opened his arms and welcomed the old lady.
However, he never expected that the old lady would reach out and grab his neck. With a crisp sound, the nephew died on the spot.
Until the moment of his death, he didn't understand why the old lady wanted to kill him.
Others who witnessed this scene were stunned and in disbelief. The old lady was usually so kind that she wouldn't even step on an ant to death. How could she do such a horrific thing now?
They were afraid that they would be the next to die, so they fled in all directions.
Seeing this, the old lady chased after them.
How could Lin Beichen just sit there and watch? He quickly went to the old lady and tied her up.
Although her arms were nothing but bones, she still had considerable strength.
Lin Beichen was very surprised by the old lady's resurrection. He used Taoism to investigate and found that the old lady was controlled by a mountain spirit.
It turned out that the mountain spirit had been attacked by Lin Beichen before and was resentful. When he learned that someone had gone to Lin Beichen's Taoist temple to cause trouble, he stole the old lady's body, used a black cat to take away the bones, and lured Lin Beichen here step by step.
This is why the old lady attacked Lin Beichen first after waking up.
Everything is controlled by the mountain spirit.
When the mountain spirit found that it would be difficult for him to seriously injure Lin Beichen even though Lin Beichen was unprepared, he turned to attack other people to vent his anger.
"Stop now, I might be able to spare your life." Lin Beichen said to the mountain spirit.
"Don't even think about it! I just stole some things from your Taoist temple, but you used the little girl's spiritual vein to lure me out and even beat me up. I will never give up until I've avenged you!" The mountain spirit responded stubbornly.
How could he stop just because of Lin Beichen's words? If he didn't beat Lin Beichen to a pulp today, he would never give up.
In this case, Lin Beichen had no choice but to fight the mountain spirit. The two of them immediately started a fierce battle.
The strength of the mountain spirit should not be underestimated, and it was on par with Lin Beichen. Lin Beichen had a hard time dealing with it.
But even so, Lin Beichen was determined to eliminate the mountain spirit today. He regretted letting him go last time. Now that they met again, it was like a narrow road for enemies. He had to eradicate this scourge no matter what.
However, the mountain spirit attached itself to the old lady's body and manipulated her to attack Lin Beichen, which made Lin Beichen feel a little reluctant.
The mountain spirit took the opportunity to take advantage of Lin Beichen's weakness and launched a fierce attack on him.
The system prompts that Lin Beichen is in danger.
If he continued to be indecisive like this, he would either be killed by the mountain spirit or he would kill the mountain spirit.
In desperation, Lin Beichen could only grit his teeth and imagine the old lady in front of him as a mountain spirit, and then kill her.
In this way, Lin Beichen exhausted half of his strength and finally eliminated the mountain spirit. The mountain spirit was reduced to ashes, and Lin Beichen no longer had to worry about him suddenly appearing to harm people.
Although this matter has come to an end for the time being, Lin Beichen still has to find out the cause of the old lady's death and give an explanation to everyone.
After all, he had made a promise before and he must not break it.
Lin Beichen began to investigate in depth and finally figured out what happened.
The old lady did as everyone said, she came to the temple to worship and then left. On the way home, she suddenly fainted. She was already ill, and Lin Beichen had just defeated the mountain spirit, so the mountain spirit's resentment inadvertently affected the old lady, causing her unfortunate death.
However, the old lady's family kept pestering her and even wanted to blame Lin Beichen for her nephew's death.
Lin Beichen is not a soft persimmon who can be bullied. He directly put the evidence in front of them and threatened: If they continue to pester him, he will see them in court and he will fight them to the end.
In desperation, the old lady's family had to give up, and the matter came to an end.
At this time, the system prompted Lin Beichen that people's acceptance of Taoism has now increased to 30%, a significant improvement over before.
Then, the system issued a time-limited challenge task to Lin Beichen: within three months, build a new gym in a big city and recruit disciples.
Whether to accept this task or not depends entirely on Lin Beichen's willingness. After all, the system has never given him a time-limited challenge task before, this is the first time.
This was undoubtedly a new challenge for Lin Beichen. He accepted the task without hesitation. You know, his previous gyms were all set up in villages, and this time he had to open a gym in a big city, which was extremely challenging.
Since Lin Beichen currently has only one direct disciple to manage the gym, he must find three reliable people to assist him in completing the task within the specified time.
After all, he couldn't open new gyms in three big cities by himself within three months. If it took one city three months, it would be fine, but now it was three big cities, and he had to complete it within three months. Unless he had the ability to clone himself, he couldn't even think about it.
Therefore, Lin Beichen must find three reliable people to help as soon as possible.
As for where to find these three people, that depends on God's will. This kind of thing cannot be rushed.
Lin Beichen returned to the gym and just as he walked to the door, he saw several foreigners walking towards him.
Their arrival did not seem to be accidental. Lin Beichen guessed that they might be here to scout the area.
When the disciple saw the foreigners, he was simple-minded and did not think much about it. He thought that Lin Beichen's Taoism had been developed to the point where even foreigners revered it, so they came to visit or learn.
So he greeted him enthusiastically.
Lin Beichen shook his head helplessly at his apprentice's enthusiasm. He pulled his apprentice aside and whispered:
"Look carefully, they are foreigners. Although our Taoist temple has attracted a lot of attention, it is not to the extent that foreigners come to visit specially. They may be here to scout the place, so you have to be careful and alert."
When the apprentice heard this, his expression changed immediately and he said, "Okay, I'll kick them out right away."
Seeing him being so reckless, Lin Beichen couldn't help but teach him a lesson: "Don't change your attitude faster than turning the pages of a book. You were so passionate just now, but now you're chasing people away. They can guess what I said to you just now."
The apprentice smiled embarrassedly and said that he would correct this bad habit in the future.
Afterwards, the apprentice went to entertain the foreigners.
At this time, Huo Rongrong came over. She had failed to reach a cooperation agreement with the Xu family before, and now she wanted to work with Lin Beichen to build a career. Although she already had a company, her ambition was far more than that. She wanted to make it bigger and stronger.
As soon as the disciple left Lin Beichen, Huo Rongrong found him.
"What? Have you forgotten the last time we fought?" Lin Beichen said directly as soon as he saw her.
"No fight, no friendship. I have already let go of our grudges, is it possible that you still can't let go?" Huo Rongrong asked back.
"No, not really. Tell me, there is no one who comes to see me for no reason. What on earth do you want from me?" Lin Beichen asked.
"It's like this, the Huo Group has recently resumed normal operations. If you need any help in the future, we can lend a hand." Huo Rongrong said.
Her subconscious meaning was also very clear: if the Huo Group encounters difficulties in the future, Lin Beichen must help them like she is doing now. (End of this chapter)
