Chapter 163: The Poisoned Ancient Town 8
The three of Zhao Lan went to inquire about the background of other patients, and then they found that every patient had someone who became a believer in the temple.
These people have different identities and genders. Some of them are not even believers at all, but they all suddenly went to the temple to become believers one day.
"Aunt." Zhao Lan squatted by the stream and asked the aunt who was washing clothes beside her, "The girl who became a believer is your neighbor, so do you know how to become a believer?"
"How do I know?" The aunt rolled her eyes, "If I knew, would I still use it here to wash clothes?"
"..."
It made sense, Zhao Lan turned her head and looked helplessly at Zhou Xiaozhen and Tang Xingyin, Tang Xingyin turned around and left alone.
Zhou Xiaozhen pondered for a moment and said, "I have an idea."
Zhao Lan glanced at the aunt, walked over and dragged Zhou Xiaozhen to chase Tang Xingyin. After catching up with the man, Zhao Lan asked, "What way?"
"We are not devout believers, but some are devout believers." Zhou Xiaozhen raised her hands and clenched her fists, "Can't we kidnap a believer and force him to tell us how to meet Zhang Xianren?"
Tang Xingyin turned his head slightly, gave Zhou Xiaozhen an approving glance, and then accelerated towards the temple.
Unknowingly, many people gathered around the temple, all of them were believers who had not been crushed to death before, and now they all gathered together to clean up the ruins.
As soon as the three of them arrived, they saw Yu Qinglang and Wang Dongdong sitting under a tree in front of them.
Yu Qinglang tilted her head and waved at them. Tang Xingyin ignored her, Zhou Xiaozhen trotted over, "Sister Qinglang, what a coincidence."
"What a coincidence." Yu Qinglang said weakly, "Why are you here? Did you bring any useful news?"
"Yes." Zhou Xiaozhen looked around vigilantly, then lowered her voice and said in a low voice, "We came here to capture a believer, and then torture him to find out how to find Immortal Zhang."
As soon as the words fell, Zhou Xiaozhen saw Yu Qinglang and Zhang Dongdong looking at her with complicated eyes.
"What's wrong?" Zhou Xiaozhen: "You don't agree?"
"It's not that I don't agree." The corner of Wang Dongdong's mouth twitched and said, "We thought of this method early on, and the believers have already tortured it."
As he said, he spread his hands, "It's useless!"
"How can it be useless?" Zhao Lan walked over and said, "Are you stubborn? Do you want to try using a function card?"
"It's not that they are blunt, they all said it very happily." Wang Dongdong was speechless, "But what they said... I feel this brain..."
"It's just that the brain is not normal." Yu Qinglang said bluntly: "Ask them how to find Zhang Xianren, and they will only answer one sentence."
Zhao Lan: "What are you talking about?"
Yu Qinglang rolled her eyes and clasped her hands together, "Immortals are everywhere."
"Huh?" Zhou Xiaozhen couldn't help scratching her head, "This sounds a lot like the magic stick in TV dramas."
Yu Qinglang was very depressed. She sat on the root of the tree, pulled weeds and said, "Yu Xiao grouped us, and asked us to help her fight ghosts. As a result, let alone ghosts, I didn't even see a hair."
"I did." Tang Xing, who had been silent all this time, said.
The others were taken aback, looking at him inexplicably.
Tang Xingyin remained expressionless, and emphasized again: "I hit Qu Lian."
"..."
Yu Qinglang: "It's because you hit Qu Lian that some people didn't even see it."
Zhao Lan turned her head to look at the believers who were cleaning up the ruins with their bare hands. Their expressions were very calm. It was very inconvenient for them to do heavy work in long robes, but they didn't show any signs of impatience. On the contrary, they were peaceful and quiet, exactly like the most devout believers.
This is wrong, it's not that Zhao Lan has never seen the appearance of a devout believer. When she was in the real world, although she didn't believe in religion, she went to many places, met many people, and met people of various beliefs.
She once went to Jiuhua Mountain with her friends. When she was driving up the mountain, she saw a Tibetan woman starting from the foot of the mountain and going up the mountain in three steps and one kowtow. Later, when she was going down the mountain, she met that woman again, because the previous three steps and one kowtow were too shocking, so she was not in a hurry to go down the mountain, but observed from the sidelines.
That woman is religious enough, but she can also drink water, rest, laugh, and will not ignore someone talking to her.
But these believers in front of them are different, they feel like they have no soul.
Of course, this is a copy, and it must be different from the real world. Zhao Lan thought for a while, and walked towards those believers.
Zhou Xiaozhen turned her head, "Sister Lan, what are you doing?"
Zhao Lan walked up to a believer and asked, "I also want to become the most devout believer of the Lord like you, what should I do?"
The man in black with dull eyes glanced at Zhao Lan and said, "You resist my lord, you are not a believer of my lord."
resist? Zhao Lan said in her heart, have I ever resisted? She grabbed the man's sleeve and refused to let him go, "I don't resist now, what should I do?"
The other party stared at her for a while, then pointed to the ruins of the collapsed temple, "Go there, follow your heart, and discover your true self."
Zhao Lan looked over and found that the position of his finger was the place where believers prayed before. She stepped on the gravel and walked over without feeling anything. So she knelt down and closed her eyes like those believers. At first, she didn't feel much, she remembered what the believer said, and she resisted.
Can't resist, Zhao Lan tries to relax his body, let go of his mind, can't resist...
At that moment, some fragments began to flash before her eyes.
Zhao Lan was taken aback for a moment, and then fell into endless darkness.
It was a sunny afternoon, mother took Zhao Lan with one hand, and took her brother with the other to sign up for school.
At the gate of the familiar school, seven-year-old Zhao Lan looked up at her mother, "Mom, I was wrong."
The mother was busy unpacking the snacks for the younger brother, and then asked: "What's wrong?"
"The school is wrong." Zhao Lan tugged at the corner of her mother's clothes, "I'm already in the first grade, and this is kindergarten."
My mother said impatiently: "What's so good about the first grade? Your younger brother is also going to kindergarten this year, so you can go to kindergarten for another year, just to take care of your younger brother."
Little Zhao Lan's eyes were full of tears. Another year of kindergarten meant that she would be separated from her friends, but they agreed that they would be in the same class. However, no one cared about her feelings. Mother only cared about her younger brother, who only cared about his snacks.
…
Zhao Lan, who was in high school, had very good grades and was a well-known academic bully in school. Her luck seemed to improve, and the person in front of her seat was the school's recognized school grass. Although he had been at the front and back tables for so long and hadn't said a few words, Zhao Lan was still a little happy.
One day the school grass turned around and handed her a pink envelope. Zhao Lan's heart was about to jump out. She pushed her glasses and tried her best to listen to what the other party was saying.
"Help me pass this to your back table." The school grass laughed so hard that everyone was confused, "I invite you to drink mineral water."
Who cares about your mineral water...
Zhao Lan, who has just graduated and entered the society, is still a freshman. She is exhausted every day. When she returns to the rental house, she wants to take a shower and have a good sleep, but finds that the water heater is broken. I called the landlord, but the landlord said that the water heater was broken by her, and it would be good if she didn't pay for the water heater. Zhao Lan had to lie tired on the narrow bed.
When I was about to fall asleep, my mother called. Zhao Lan raised her spirits to report the good news but not the bad news. Her mother exchanged some pleasantries, then changed the subject, saying that she wanted to buy a house for her younger brother, and asked her if she had money to help him.
"Sister Lan is crying." Zhou Xiaozhen squatted beside Zhao Lan and asked worriedly, "Do you want to wake her up?"
Tang Xingyin stood aside, watching with frowning. He also tried kneeling on the ground and closing his eyes. After a while he opened his eyes, his eyes were full of doubts, why didn't he feel anything?
"Don't touch her yet." Yu Qinglang said, "If you touch her now, all previous efforts may be wasted."
So Zhou Xiaozhen had no choice but to continue squatting, staring at Zhao Lan with a sad face.
Twenty-eight-year-old Zhao Lan knew that she had no one to rely on, so she managed to start a career with her own efforts. She was in the rising stage of her career, but she was diagnosed with cancer. She was lying on the hospital bed, tortured by surgery and chemotherapy until she lost her hair, but her mother couldn't even accompany her around the clock because she had to go home to cook and wash her brother's clothes.
Why? I work so hard, but get sick? Why is it me who is sick? What's the use of my brother? Such a big guy doesn't even have a decent job...
Why am I sick? Why are copies so dangerous? Why do points accumulate so slowly? We all played the dungeon together, why did Xiaoxiao almost get all the points? I also contributed to the sale of talismans, didn't I agree to divide the points equally...
Why do all good things belong to others? !
Unknowingly, she has been enveloped by an emotion. There was a voice in her heart telling her that as long as she killed Yu Xiao, her points could be taken back, so that she could be discharged from the hospital. With a healthy body, continue to work hard in her career and welcome her a bright future.
Zhao Lan subconsciously resisted such thoughts, but she still vaguely remembered that she couldn't resist, couldn't resist...
"Painful?"
"Aren't you reconciled?"
Zhao Lan raised his head, and in the darkness, a man in a red robe and holding a scepter appeared in front of Zhao Lan. He lowered his head, his face full of compassion, "Mother's wholehearted love, family support, good health, and the chance to leave the hospital, these should all belong to you. It's only being stolen by those despicable people, which will make you feel sad." You suffer pain that you don't deserve."
Zhao Lan wept bitterly and asked twitchingly, "What should I do?"
"Get rid of the vile."
"No..." Zhao Lan subconsciously thought it was impossible.
The man in the red robe opened his arms and gently embraced Zhao Lan, "Don't feel sorry, you are tolerant enough. You are just fighting for what belongs to you, as it should be..."
"It's jealousy." Gluttony squinted his eyes, "So he's here."
"Jealous?" Yu Xiao asked, "Is he a ghost?"
"Jealousy is jealousy." Gu Shu glanced at Gluttony, "Just like gluttony is gluttony."
Yu Xiao thought of something, it seems that there are other things besides ghosts in the dungeon. For example, nightmare gluttony, and this jealousy.
Nightmare is not a ghost, because the Yunlei Daxing Talisman didn't respond to him, and he didn't want to eat people. So this jealousy is the same thing as nightmares and gluttony?
But it's not invincible, is it? Nightmare was injured before, and Gluttony also fought with the doctors in charge.
"Is he particularly powerful?" Yu Xiao pointed at Gluttony, "Better than him?"
Gluttony's eyes twitched, and he was about to say something. Gu Shu said: "It's not just a question of how powerful he is, it's also a question of whether he can see him."
"Why?" Yu asked with a smile.
"Because jealousy is in everyone's heart," said Lolita.
This sentence was a bit mysterious, but Yu Xiao managed to understand it, but she had another problem, "In this case, how did you meet him?"
"We didn't see him, we only looked for Qu Lian, not him at all," Gu Shu said.
"Ah?" Yu Xiao suddenly became angry, "Then why did he help you?"
Gu Shu: "What did he help us with?"
"..." Yu Xiao stopped suddenly, the doctors in charge didn't know that Meng Meng was with her all this time. In other words, in their plan, the nightmare was not taken into consideration. But Nightmare was indeed blocked by jealousy, that is to say, it was Gu Shu who was helping them by jealousy?
This made Yu Xiao angry, I have no grievances with you, but you want to kill me!
Can Yu Xiao swallow this breath? If he swallowed this breath, it would be unfair to Gu Shu and Lolita!
"Then there is no way to deal with him?" Yu Xiao looked at Gluttony, "He is stronger than you, is he invincible?"
Gluttony: "..."
Gluttony knew that Yu Xiao was irritating him, but he just couldn't control it. Another point is, they are obviously similar, why can he only eat carrion in the basement, and jealousy can live so well?
As expected of jealousy, he succeeded in making him jealous.
"If he doesn't appear, won't you induce him to appear?" Gluttony said with a stinky face, "Just use what he wants to attract him to appear."
Yu Xiao was in a dilemma, thinking that I might not have what he wanted, "What does he need?"
"Isn't he a **** now?" Gluttony licked his lips, "God needs believers most, of course."
Zhao Lan opened her eyes with tears all over her face, Zhou Xiaozhen was very excited, "Wake up, wake up, sister Lan wake up!"
"How is it?" Yu Qinglang observed Zhao Lan, "What did you go through just now?"
Zhao Lan was in a daze for a moment, then panted heavily. She raised her hand tremblingly and opened her palm.
There is a small glass bottle in Zhao Lan's palm, and there seems to be nothing in it. Zhou Xiaozhen shook the glass bottle in her hand, and heard the sound of water.
"What is this?" Zhou Xiaozhen asked curiously.
"Poison." Zhao Lan looked at the glass bottle, and the sunlight shone through the bottle, refracting colorful light.
"Jealousy..." Zhao Lan muttered to herself, "I understand..."
"Sister Lan, what's wrong with you?" Zhou Xiaozhen helped Zhao Lan to stand up, "There is something wrong with you."
While they were talking, they suddenly heard someone shouting: "Sister Lan! Xiaozhen!"
Turning her head, she saw Yu Xiao carrying a bag, and beside her were two strangers, a man and a woman.
Zhou Xiaozhen was taken aback when she saw it, "Damn it, Lolita!"
"Fuck! Ancient tree?!"
Tang Xingyin frowned, "Those two are the attending doctors?"
Gu Shu and Lolita followed Yu Xiao like guardians, Yu Xiao walked over and saw that Zhao Lan's eyes were red from crying, and asked strangely: "Someone bullied Sister Lan?"
Zhao Lan wiped away tears, did not ask where Yu Xiao went, but said: "I found the answer, we can leave this dungeon now."
"Don't rush away." Yu Xiao turned around and put his hands on Lolita's shoulders, and said with a smile, "I still have something to do."
