The Riddler Get Out of Terra

But Li Boli's young man still gritted his teeth and found an excuse:

"This is just my case. I cannot represent the entire Yan Kingdom, my benefactor."

"No way, someone is offering you 21 bags of grain worth hundreds of kilograms and asking you to sell your life to him. Do you want to sell it?"

Hao Zhao suddenly asked.

"?" Wu You groaned in surprise, with rejection in his nasal voice: "This should be impossible. Of course, if it is you, my benefactor, I can do it even if I don't have this food..."

"But in one village, this food can exchange for the lives of ten people."

Hao Zhao interrupted the nonsense and said bluntly:

"Nothing. Although you always say that you are a failure and ridiculous, your ability is already above the middle level of Yan Country. The townspeople in the suburbs cannot eat what you can eat or wear your clothes. They are short of food and clothing. , there are no doctors, and we have to move around to avoid natural disasters, making life extremely difficult.”

"In the most difficult times, it is very common for a bag of grain to be exchanged for a woman to give birth to a child for you, and for a man to work hard for you. It is not uncommon in history books and unofficial histories."

"People who grow up in different environments have different tolerances for happiness and temptation. How many ordinary people who make up the majority of Yan Kingdom can refuse something that even you find irresistible?"

Wu You no longer dared to speak.

Chapter 127 Bishop ([-])

"Then...my benefactor, you mean that I should join the Taiping Religion?"

Wu You thought about it for a long time before hesitantly asked Hao Zhao.

Hao Zhao's previous recruitment was too much like the Pope tricking new believers into joining the religion!

Wu You considers himself to be a mentally tough person who has been practicing martial arts all year round, but with just a few words, he wishes he could join the Taiping Sect immediately and become a double-bonus stick. This method of attracting people to join the sect is simply miraculous!

No wonder the people of Qingquan Town admired Hao Zhao so much, even if he didn't stay with Hao Zhao in missionary mode.

For more than a week, he would have to shout fanatically, long live the Four Gods!

The name of the Pope is worthy of his name!

However, Hao Zhao's next words directly shattered Wuyou's impression of him as the leader of the Taiping Religion, leaving the people of Libo in shock:

"I want you to join the Taiping Religion, but the purpose of joining is not to become a fanatical believer - I hope you can become an eye and a hook to monitor the Taiping Religion."

"Surveillance?"

Wu You repeated this word in surprise. Isn't this a good word? !

"What? You were persuaded by me just now. Do you want to visit the Taiping Religion?"

Seeing Wu You's stunned look, Hao Zhao raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Uh, uh..."

For a while, Wu didn't know what kind of medicine Hao Zhao was selling in his gourd, so he was embarrassed, not daring to say he would join, or not daring to say he didn't want to join.

He thought for a while but couldn't think of anything, so he could only look at Hao Zhao with a blank mind, waiting for the orange cat to answer his questions.

Fortunately, Orange Cat really didn't like the way of communicating in the clouds, so he told Wu You about his concerns about the Taiping Religion quite straightforwardly:

"I just used words to repeatedly emphasize the benefits of the Taiping Religion, the benefits it can bring to you, how low the price is, and the intricacies between it and the Yan Kingdom once it becomes powerful - but don't you think something is wrong?"

Wu You doesn't quite understand.

"Yes, believers have received many benefits from the Taiping Religion, which can be said to be of endless use. Terra has obtained the power of the Four Gods and can pursue freedom and happiness - what about the Four Gods? What have they obtained? Could it be that they Are you a philanthropist who only gives and doesn’t take anything?”

!

Like thunder chopping the night sky, and the mighty river connecting hundreds of rivers, Hao Zhao's question was like an extremely sharp demonic knife. Just grabbing the weak point and making a mediocre chop made Wu You's stagnant thoughts come alive in an instant.

Perhaps it was because he had no interest in learning about the Yanguo Sect all these years, or perhaps the temptation revealed in Hao Zhao's words made Wu You forget everything. He actually forgot the purpose of the Four Gods, and even regarded the Taiping Sect with its gods as an ordinary sect!

In fact, there is no comparison between the two. The Taiping Sect, with its gods as its guardians, is naturally superior to those sects!

"You have read the history books collected by your master and know that those sects that flourished for a time were partly due to political needs and partly because of the evil gods and beasts entrenched behind them, but they all failed over the long years."

"What politics needs is just a trick of pretending to be a ghost. They dare to come out and fool people with some Originium skills of making fire and boiling water. However, there is a group of pretentious fools who don't even want to think and just follow the liars to become liars."

"Behemoths are behind, and everyone in this group is clean. Perhaps it is because of some needs to make these sects bigger, but as long as the Yanguo Code is brought out, it is justifiable to destroy them."

"——After all, the giant beasts are not true gods. Since they were defeated by the Yanguo people in ancient times, people have been surprised to find that the so-called giant beasts are not omniscient and omnipotent supreme gods. What they can bestow upon their believers are just bits and pieces. , but compared to the entire Yan Kingdom, this little bit is a joke."

"But, there is nothing. The four gods of the Taiping Sect can do things that the giant beasts cannot do. Their power is almost all-encompassing, and their essence is incredibly high. Just by connecting with them, the vast spiritual energy can be in everyone's body. There is an indelible shadow left deep in my heart..."

"They are things far beyond the giant beasts, and they are actually willing to do more than the giant beasts - this proves that they also want to take much more than the giant beasts."

Hao Zhao said to Wu You earnestly.

Wu You nodded subconsciously and agreed with Hao Zhao's idea, but the next moment he grasped the key point and asked Orange Cat:

"In this case, my benefactor, why do you want to introduce the Taiping Religion into the Yan Kingdom? And you are the missionary of the Taiping Religion, why do you distrust the four gods so much?"

"I haven't told you about the origin of the Taiping Religion yet, have I?"

Realizing that Wuyou had doubts about him, Orange Cat immediately loaded the "Origin of Taiping Religion Version 7.0" that Kong Ming had revised repeatedly in his mind, and seized the opportunity to reveal:

"When I left Longmen and planned to travel to the Yan Kingdom, I met an old Taoist priest Shi Fu Shui to save people. At that time, like you, I didn't believe in Taoist magic, and I thought the Taoist priest was just showing off and deceiving people. But Everything that happened next made me believe it..."

Hao Zhao's eyes softened. When he read out something that he himself didn't believe, the orange cat's astonishingly heavy will couldn't help but relax a little in shame, making Wu You, who had been paying attention, think that Hao Zhao was lost in memories:

"The moment after the talisman was cast, the dying woman stood up. She looked healthy and her skin was rosy. I checked her using a warrior's method and found that she was not as healthy as a person wandering in the wilderness."

"I immediately became interested and couldn't help chatting with the old Taoist. He was indeed interesting. He knew the strange stories from all over the world and was also very interested in Longmen. We communicated with each other and had a great time."

"A lot of things happened during this period that I didn't understand. For example, he could never finish eating the scallops in his hands, he could never separate the bread in the bag, and the wine in the jug was always full. Along the way, he kept all these things. Food was shared with me and with the homeless, and it never ran out.”

Wu You twitched his lips with difficulty. Just from Hao Zhaoping's straightforward description, he could understand the miraculous magic power of the old Taoist and Hao Zhao's surprise when the two of them traveled.

Could it be that the Taiping Sect started from this?

“We had a pretty good time exchanging ideas and arguing

Sparks of thought collided with all the things we saw, and his and my knowledge became wider and wider day by day. "

"Later, when we were saying goodbye, he said to me, 'The journey here is difficult and dangerous. Mr. Wen Yuan carried so many scattered items and worked hard. I have something in my hand that can help Wen Yuan.'"

"'It's just that this thing is quite precious. Wen Yuan holds it in the hope that it can spread my Nanhua Taoism.' - I didn't understand it at the time, but now I think about it, it was at that time that he used the technique of the emotional school to express this sentence The words were engraved into my subconscious mind, so that when I arrived at Qingquan Town, the sight of mourning people all over the place stimulated my emotions, and the Nanhua Taoism was spread here, which is the origin of the Taiping Sect."

Wu You was fascinated by the magnificent, fantasy and darkly calculated past. His eyes were full of divine light. Hao Zhao took out the backpack he usually carried behind his back from behind the chair and showed Wu You that it was made of a completely different material from Terra fabric.

Chapter 128 Bishop ([-])

This is an ordinary backpack, the material is no different from a backpack cut on an industrial assembly line.

Wu You had seen the industrial products that were the main products of other mobile cities in Gouwucheng. He was no stranger to the same industrial products that filled the entire warehouse.

The backpack in front of him was a type that he was extremely familiar with, because when he first traveled from Gouwucheng, Lian Zixu bought a traveling bag of the same brand as a gift to him.

Whether it's thick fabric or strong waterproof coating, they all have a familiar look. "Bring a backpack. It's your first time traveling and there are so many things you don't understand. You should bring more things just in case." , Master’s words seemed to still ring in my ears.

The dark brown leather is painted with green camouflage, plus large and small empty bags, "pack every item in categories", the main recommendation of the "Cambrian MK-Ⅱ" series.

Although this series has been launched for a full ten years and should have been eliminated by the new generation like many things from the old era, this Cambrian backpack has always been loved by many travelers for its practicality, convenience and durability. Prosperity never declines.

Hao Zhao was not in a hurry to break up when he realized that there was nothing wrong. He just put his hand into the largest pocket and pulled out a... sugar cane under the recalling eyes of the Libo people.

That’s right, a sugar cane that’s three times as long as your backpack!

?

Wu You's nostalgic thoughts were suddenly interrupted. Li Boli looked at the thick sugar cane in Hao Zhao's hand with a confused look on his face. He also saw the orange cat breaking off two big pieces in front of him, holding one piece in his hand and sending it directly. Chewing heavily in his mouth, he handed a piece of it to him.

"Eat, washed sugar cane."

Hao Zhao said while chewing, and took out a small trash can next to the table to spit out the bagasse.

Ah this...

Wu You took the gift from Hao Zhao and held it in his hand, only to find that there was a thin film of water on the sugar cane and there were water droplets on the end. It was as fresh as if it had just matured, waiting to be tasted.

Li Boli imitated Hao Zhao and took a bite.

The sweet juice is squeezed out of the sugar cane as the teeth chew. The fresh sugar cane has its own pleasant grassy fragrance, mixed in the juice, which makes Wu You unconsciously think of the smoke and water cage yarn in Gou Wu Water Village.

But how does such food stay fresh?Even the water droplets on the surface of the sugar cane taste fresh and delicious, with a touching flavor!

Thinking that several sections of sugar cane were at least two meters longer than the backpack, Wu You's eyes changed when he looked at the backpack of unknown material in Hao Zhao's hand.

"This backpack was given to me by Taoist priests from Nanhua. It can store a huge amount of things. I once tried to break a mountain top and just call it to put an entire mountain with a radius of [-] meters into it - even... Can hold another mountain peak.”

"It can also be kept fresh, and the food put in it will not spoil. What it looks like when you put it in will be what it looks like when you take it out. You can destroy corpses, eliminate traces, deliver materials, and even put rocks with amazing speed into it and then use it as a hidden weapon when you find the opportunity." Yin people – they can do all these things.”

Hao Zhao said calmly, but his few words contained a shocking intimidation. Just thinking about it made people realize the many great things that this backpack can do - the functions of this backpack alone are already comparable to those of Yan. There are many secret treasures in the national history books!

Wu You naturally understood what Hao Zhao meant. He looked at the backpack that Hao Zhao held in his hands without hesitation. He looked left and right, as if he was looking for some secret mechanism:

"Then... Benefactor, what do you think is wrong with it?"

"This thing has been enchanted and has been bound to me. During these days of traveling, I have also communicated with other people and let them touch this backpack, but everyone only touched a ball of air. What is left? nothing."

Hao Zhao threw the backpack to nothing, leaving him to hurriedly confirm. The strong man Li Boli put his hand into the backpack, and sure enough, he didn't touch anything. There was only a ball of air in the empty backpack.

"Look, is this a valuable treasure? It can be attacked or defended. It can assist, operate, and store. It only recognizes its owner. Even if I give an order, it can be quickly returned to my hands."

Seeing that Wu You was almost done with the inspection, Hao Zhao reached out for his backpack. The backpack in Li Boli's hand suddenly disappeared, and when it reappeared, it was already in the hands of the orange cat. This scene that should only exist in the Yanguo dialect book made Wu You His hands trembled and he was stunned:

"This is too awesome!"

"Amazing, indeed amazing." Hao Zhao sighed: "But what's the price? The Nanhua Taiping Sect began to spread in the Yan Kingdom. With the support of the Four Gods, I don't know what kind of chaos the Yan Kingdom will be caused by the Taiping Sect.

. "

Wu You was silent - Taoist Nanhua's deal was indeed relatively fair. He gave Hao Zhao a huge treasure, so he was naturally asked to promote a huge cause. Once the seeds of the Four Gods were planted, they would never be separated!

"It's not that I haven't thought about breach of contract. In fact, the way to breach the contract without breaching the contract is very simple - preach the Taiping Cult to Qingquan Town. In order to prevent the Taiping Cult from spreading, if you do it cruelly enough..."

Hao Zhao murmured in a low voice, and Wu You couldn't help but shudder:

Cruel enough—what is cruel enough?

He thought of the practices recorded in history books when facing great epidemics when medical skills were not outstanding: directly burning the corpses and imprisoning the patients. After they were all dead, the walls were fortified and the fields were cleared, until only a handful of gray remains were left!

"But you didn't do that. You must have thought there was still a chance, right?"

He couldn't find any other reason, so he had to use a general template.

"Because the four gods are indeed doing something, and they have not shown their cruel side, but Nanhua Taoist reminded me that the images of the four gods are related to believers."

Hao Zhao's eyes were distant, as if he was recalling the original scene:

"The four gods will absorb the various wishes of believers and draw power from these wishes. In the process, they will also give birth to human nature that matches the emotions entrusted in the wishes."

"Wouldn't that be great? At least they won't attack believers?"

"Very good?" Hao Zhao smiled unusually bitterly: "Courage is courage because people want to protect and overcome disasters to protect others. But do people who want to obtain the gift of the God of Courage think so?"

"..."

Nothing fell silent.

"As the Taiping Religion gradually develops, more and more believers will try to use the God of Courage's magic to kill people to show off their bravery. There is no need to deny that on Terra, does it matter whether there are more guardians or fanatics? ?The former is mostly the privilege of the strong, while the latter...it’s hard to figure out whether you gain power for revenge or something else."

"At that time, the God of Courage will not just refer to courage - He will symbolize killing, violence, anger, hatred, madness, irritability and other things related to fighting and killing. His power changes, believers How can we escape?"

"As for the remaining gods of wisdom, life, and emotions, do you think they will change?"

Chapter 129 Bishop ([-])

Courage becomes violence and killing, wisdom becomes twisted, cunning and deceptive, life becomes rotten and deformed, emotions become degenerate, temptation and addiction, and when these sects bind the huge number of believers in the Yan Kingdom and subtly transform their hearts...

Just thinking about it, the nightmare-like scene made Wu You tremble.

"Of course, this is just my guess. Nanhua Taoist also said that the four gods are separated from us by two worlds. The Nanhua lineage has set up a purification device in one of the worlds to control the power of the four gods."

Hao Zhao comforted him, his tone revealing that things were under control and there was no need to be unreasonably relaxed:

"What I'm saying is just my opinion on how everything is out of control. It's not a future that will definitely happen. Nothing, and you don't have to think that something like this will definitely happen."

Although with the recognition of the four gods on the land of Terra, such a situation is inevitable - no matter whether it is a good person or a bad person, as long as there are evil thoughts, the virtual realm will never be calm, and these waves of malice will always win.

Even if Qiao Lun has enough patience to control himself, the incarnations of the four gods projected in Mansu may not be able to escape the infection - think about that evil thing, it is soaked in pain and despair in the virtual realm, and the incarnations in Mansu will also follow. Incarnate as a demon and unleash his power wantonly. Even a little leakage of the vast spiritual energy in the virtual realm is enough to create an immortal monster in the mortal world.

But Hao Zhao couldn't tell such a desperate story to nothing - things wouldn't develop into that. After all, the Four Gods were just filtering devices. Even if they were corrupted, Qiao Lun had a solution:

If you can’t cut it, just shred it from the inside out!

But this process will be very long, and it may not be completed even if a generation dies.

So it’s better to take precautions and prepare in advance.

In the study of the power of the Nian beast, [Qiao Lun] have fully realized that the great gods of the virtual world have a higher level of contribution than the immortals - they have no so-called division of power. As long as the spiritual power is sufficient, the power of the corresponding field Almost all can be mastered!
