Chapter 368 Hostage

Zhang Yang watched Xiao Hai put away his smile, and his gloomy expression made the atmosphere so dignified and weird.

"What do you mean by that? Could it be that the Great Buddha will do something to you? Or, will the Great Buddha directly destroy this city like it did to Dongyang?"

"Then I don't know. The current Buddha, his thinking is too weird, no one knows what he wants to do, no one knows who will be the next person to die, and the next island will disappear. Which one will it be? In short, this seemingly peaceful city of the Buddha Kingdom has actually become dangerous for everyone, and the atmosphere is very tense."

Zhang Yang pursed his lips, didn't know what to say, so he could only sigh lightly, put his hand on Xiao Hai's shoulder and patted it, and said assuredly: "Don't worry, I will definitely help you if I can. "

"Actually, I think you look like good people. Compared with our Great Buddha, he is more like a sinister and cunning person. Although I don't know where you come from, I can guess that you should be The one the Buddha is looking for is someone from Xinhua Kingdom."

Zhang Yang and Jiao Yang looked at each other, didn't speak, and didn't admit their identities, but their tacit attitude allowed Xiao Hai to get the answer.

Scorching Sun looked at the peaceful people on both sides of the street, and asked Xiao Hai curiously, "Is this your only thought, or are all the people like you?"

Xiao Hai pursed the corners of his lips and thought about it, then whispered to the two of them: "My idea is actually the idea of ​​all of us ordinary people, but it is different from those monks who are practicing and the guards who guard the city. It seems that they have been brainwashed, and they firmly believe in every move of the Buddha, even if it is a massacre, they will do it themselves, in short, their belief in the Buddha is somewhat blind."

Zhang Yang nodded thoughtfully, and said, "To be honest, this may be the reason why the Buddha doesn't allow you ordinary people to practice, no matter how good your spiritual root is. Because you have shown to him from the very beginning. When it comes to infidelity, what he wants is blind obedience, people who are truly loyal to him, and if you have the strength, you will rebel and become enemies, so it will kill you in the bud."

Xiao Hai nodded, agreed with Zhang Yang's statement, looked at the front door of his own house, smiled and made a gesture of invitation to them.

"Okay, let's not talk about that for now. This is my home. Remember what I told you. You are the survivors of the East. You escaped death and begged my father to take you in."

"it is good."

Zhang Yang and Jiao Yang followed Xiao Hai into the gate of Xia's house, and he finally knew that Xiao Hai's full name was Xia Xiaohai.

Sure enough, as Xiaohai said, when Zhang Yang showed a pitiful expression, saying that he was a resident of Donghai Island, escaped from death, and managed to escape to this land, he met Xiaohai and was rescued by him.

Father Xia showed a face of sympathy, he greeted the servants kindly, prepared a guest room for him and Jiaoyang, and let them live in peace of mind, without worrying about anything, he would give them an identity, let them stay well live in the city.

It's just that everyone was sitting in the living room, chatting enthusiastically for a while, and suddenly the door was kicked open by a team of guards.

Just like ghosts entering the village, they rushed straight into Xia's mansion with long knives in their hands, and then shouted at Father Xia, "Are you Xia Zhenyuan?"

"I am, I am Xia Zhenyuan, I don't know what's going on with the officials?"

"The Buddha has an order to invite all the outsiders in the city to visit the Buddha City. Please also invite Xia Yuanwai to go with us."

Xiao Hai immediately showed a nervous expression, grabbed his father, but shouted loudly to the guards in front of him: "You are not inviting at all, you are threatening threats."

A few guards sneered and said: "Get out of here quickly, it's none of your business here. No matter how many people want to see the Buddha, they can't wait. The Buddha took the initiative to invite you to be guests. It's your luck in three lives and the blessings you cultivated in your previous life. Don't obediently follow us, otherwise, I will do it."

Zhang Yang and Jiao Yang looked at the domineering guards. They hid all their cultivation bases with secret techniques, so they looked like an ordinary couple and did not attract the attention of the guards.

But now they are faced with a dilemma, should they make a move?

While the two were hesitating, Xia Zhenyuan protected Xiao Hai behind him, and strode ahead.

"It turned out to be the invitation of the Buddha, we will definitely accept it, but can I pack some simple luggage, and then say a few words to the dog, after all, if I leave at home, he will be the only one left, my big family Karma always needs to explain a few words.”

Several guards snorted coldly, and said disdainfully: "I'll give you half an hour, we'll wait for you at the door, quickly pack up your things and follow us."

"Okay, gentlemen, I will tidy up soon."

After seeing the vicious pair of guards leave, Xia Zhenyuan's smile subsided, his face was silent, and he looked solemnly at Zhang Yang and Jiaoyang.

"The two shouldn't be from Dongyang Island, right?"

Zhang Yang was slightly taken aback, looking at Xia Zhenyuan and Xia Xiaohai, the father and son nodded slightly.

Xia Zhenyuan said lightly: "I can feel that you should be cultivators, and you don't belong to the Buddhist country. The motherland has changed a lot in the past few years, and the Buddha has also become an unpredictable ruler. Living in unease, it seems that what I guessed before has come, after the destruction of Dongyang Island, the next target of the Buddha is us civilians in other countries."

Xiao Hai asked with a trembling voice: "Father, do you have any plans? Or what do you want to do, you must tell me."

"Son, we are all ordinary people, and our lives are only a few decades, but I hope you can live on. I don't know if I'm going to live or die."

Xia Zhengyuan looked at Xiao Hai with a sad expression, put his hand on his head and touched it, then turned his head solemnly to Zhang Yang and the sun.

"You two, I only ask you one thing. If you can come to my Buddhist country, you will definitely be able to leave. Please take my son away after I leave. I have no wish in this life. I only hope that I son will be safe."

As Xia Zhenyuan said, he took out a kit from his sleeve and handed it to Zhang Yang.

"Uncle Xia, what is this?"
