Chapter 41 The Story of Temple Zhu [Please read]

"I don't know yet."

Li Daoxuan didn't lie to him, he was telling the truth. He really doesn't know now, but... he will know soon.

[There are many strange things in the world. When you use "consciousness energy" and look through this incomplete lens, you can know the truth in front of you. Your survival points +6 (green). 】

So, in fact, these things are just like glasses?
In other words, it is essentially the broken fragments of a pair of glasses.

Li Daoxuan looked at it again and chose to put it away. This thing needs to be slightly modified, otherwise it will be too conspicuous when worn.

After doing this, the sky was already turning white.

It has been a day and a night since Hemu's revenge and troubles came.

Li Daoxuan breathed a long sigh of relief and sat down on the steps under the eaves. Fang Jie also followed.

"What, you're not going to tell your story?"

Fang Jie smiled bitterly and said, "What can I have..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Daoxuan said "Huh?"

He quickly changed his words, "I have some things that I haven't had time to tell Brother Li yet."

"It's okay, you said, I'm listening." After experiencing a big battle, Li Daoxuan also wanted to relax.

Fang Node nodded, turned back to the house, dug out a spoonful of fried melon seeds with a wooden spoon, placed it between the two of them, and then began to say:
"I am originally from this Shou Wu City. Since childhood... I actually have a twin sister." Fang Jie said with a wry smile and a trace of nostalgia on his face.

"She was sent to worship the river mother?"

Li Daoxuan guessed while chewing melon seeds.

"Ah."

"My father was the head of the family. That year we couldn't get enough newborns, so we had to send my sister away. Later... my mother got sick from anger and didn't make it through, so she left too."

Fang Jie's tone was very calm, and he was eating melon seeds as he spoke, "After my mother died, my father's temper changed drastically. He drank all day long, and the people in the workshop couldn't stand it. After changing the owner of the workshop, my father's drinking also changed. It’s more.”

"Later, after a heavy rain, I never saw him again."

Li Daoxuan had thought beforehand that this might not be a very good story, but he never imagined that it would be so painful.

So after he finished eating the few melon seeds in his hand, he didn't take any more.

Fang Jie continued: "I was the only one left in the family, so I was free. I worked in various places and professions. Finally, I ended up in a theater troupe and learned a makeup technique. Only then did I feel that there was a chance for revenge. It seems to be coming."

"How did you and Hemu meet?"

"Do you know me? You don't know me either." Fang Jie smiled, "That was what happened after I learned makeup. I didn't know about the five turbidities at that time, so I would often put on makeup and go to Hemu Temple when I had nothing to do. When asking for information, I have pretended to be a fool, a lunatic, a child, an old man, a woman, anything.”

"Later I found out that Hemu... was alive. She saw everything about me. She thought I was very interesting and asked me if I would like to be her temple blessing."

"Of course I won't let go of such a good opportunity."

Fang Jie spat out the melon seed shells in his mouth, "During the days when I was a temple priest, I got the etiquette of the blowing hand witch, and I was lucky enough to gather the materials, and then I became the blowing hand witch."

"Later... I encouraged the people who had given away their children to burn the Hemu Temple and destroy the Hemu Dharma, and then I left."

Li Daoxuan also knew what happened next. He grabbed a handful of melon seeds again, "Do you think revenge is hopeless?"

If it wasn't for this reason, Li Daoxuan couldn't figure out why, because the things Fang Jie encouraged the people to do were completely useless and had no other effect except attracting He Mu's revenge.

"That's right." Fang Jie's eyes showed despair, "Actually, there is something that no one in the city knows. Hemu didn't have a domain at the beginning, and this domain is not hers."

"Ok?"

"As early as one night two months ago, a calamity that had mastered the domain actually wandered to the Yaoying River from a distance... That night, the river mother swallowed the calamity and took over the domain."

"Since then, I have no thoughts of revenge. If you didn't see that night with your own eyes, you don't know how scary this river mother is."

Fang Jie recalled it now, his eyes still full of fear.Li Daoxuan understands that the grain eaters who died in the middle-nine-level world drifted to the lower-nine-level world and turned into tribulations, and still retained their own memories... Can it be simple?

"So I decided to fight to the death and divert the disaster eastward, hoping that the ancestors of the four families could lend their hands to kill this river mother. Now it seems..."

Fang Jie smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"Practice yourself well. The road is made by people. Nothing is impossible. It is better to put your hope in others than to control your destiny in your own hands."

Li Daoxuan dusted off his hands and stood up, then suddenly looked back at him, "Actually, you have mastered how to survive in this troubled world."

"what?"

Fang Jie was puzzled.

"Crazy, as long as you are crazier than others and crazier than Xie Sui, then you should be the one who survives."

After Li Daoxuan finished speaking, he walked straight out the door, "Let's go out and take a look with me."

Look at what this Witch City has become.

"okay!"

Fang Jie wiped his face, calmed down his mood, and hurriedly followed.

The two walked from the end of the street to the street. Although they didn't see any ruins along the way, most of what they saw were ordinary people who were lucky enough to survive. They were collecting corpses and cleaning the blood on the ground.

What I heard in my ears were the whimpers of people crying.

It was the same for two streets in a row.

"I'm afraid less than half of the people in the entire Shouwu City are dead."

"Do you regret it?"

"I don't regret it. I believe that after this incident, some people's blood will be aroused. Otherwise, boiling frogs in warm water like before will only cause all the people to die without knowing it."

The two of them just walked aimlessly, and saw a few grain eaters running past in a hurry along the way.

As he turned around another street, Li Daoxuan suddenly heard someone calling his name from behind, and the voice was still very familiar.

He looked back and saw Zhou Xu and Huang Hu following a man in black robes.

And the man in black robe was also an acquaintance of Li Daoxuan, and it turned out to be Zhu Jinglun of the Zhu family who had just parted ways.

Seeing Li Daoxuan turn around, Zhu Jinglun smiled and said, "It's really you two. Just now Zhou Xu said she knew you, but I still don't believe it."

Li Daoxuan nodded, "Why are you following Zhu Jinglun? Didn't you go to Feng's house?"

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Huang Hu's face, "After what happened yesterday, all the Feng family members died, but Zhou Xu and I were lucky enough to survive by following a grain eater from the Zhu family."

"so."

Zhu Jinglun looked between them and said, "Who are Brother Li and the other two?"

When Zhu Jinglun asked this, Zhou Xu's eyes were complicated. Just a few days ago, when the three of them came to Wu City together, there was not much difference between them.

But now?

A few days later, Li Daoxuan was able to call himself brother to the eighth-rate grain eater among the four major families.

And if he wants to get into the four major families and work under Zhu Jinglun, he still needs to go through the test.

Huang Hu was also waiting for Li Daoxuan's answer. He originally thought that Li Daoxuan would say he was a fellow villager.

Unexpectedly, Li Daoxuan smiled and said:

"Both of them came from the same place when I was young."
