At dusk, the glow from the sky casts its light over Yehuai City.
"All creatures and spirits will enter the Kingdom of Bone God."
"All creatures and spirits will enter the Kingdom of Bone God."
Amidst solemn prayers, the believers of the White Bone Sect removed the porridge shed and moved the empty barrels onto flatbed trucks, preparing to end today's missionary work.
Around the carriage, many men with wild eyes and shabby clothes stepped forward to help.
With the help of food, the missionary activities of the White Bone Sect are going very smoothly, and most of the poor people near the south of the city have begun to believe in the "White Bone Bodhisattva."
A quarter of an hour later, everything was successfully loaded onto the carriage.
"Deacon Liu, everything is in order."
The old man wearing a gray hat and linen clothes came closer, bowed to a middle-aged man standing on the left side of the carriage and said.
"Oh? It's pretty fast."
When the middle-aged man heard the shouting, he turned around unexpectedly. He first glanced at the carriage that had been packed up, then looked away, took out a few copper coins from his pocket, stuffed them into the old man's hand, and said with a smile:
"I can't let everyone's help go in vain. I'll treat you to a cup of tea later."
The old man's face turned red and his mouth moved:
“Deacon Liu, we can’t charge you.
"We volunteer to help."
"I know I know."
The middle-aged man’s smile remains unchanged:
"I also voluntarily invited everyone to drink tea. No one forced me to do this."
He patted the old man's arm and urged:
"Take it, hold it."
Seeing the man's sincere attitude, the old man hesitated and slowly accepted the coins.
"Thank you, Deacon Liu."
The middle-aged man shook his head, pointed at the old man, and smiled: "We are all believers of the Bone Bodhisattva, so there is no need to be so polite in the future."
The old man nodded in response.
"gone."
The middle-aged man waved to the old man, walked a few steps, stepped onto the carriage, and signaled the driver to return to the city.
Under the shouts and whips of the coachman, Yehuai's local pony reluctantly walked to the ground, pulling the carriage slowly toward Yehuai City.
After a while, Jiang Yan appeared at the place where the carriage originally stayed, raised his head and looked towards Ye Huai.
Da da!
Da da!
Jiang Yan withdrew his gaze, and his figure gradually became transparent.
…
…
evening.
Darkness came from all directions, causing Yehuai City to be lit up with bright or dim lights.
In the south of the city, in front of a wide courtyard with four entrances and exits, Deacon Liu arrived in a carriage.
He patted his belly, jumped off the carriage, and walked inside without any restraint. The guard at the door seemed to be quite familiar with this middle-aged man and did not step forward to question him.
"I've been busy for a long time and I'm really hungry. I wonder what the kitchen will prepare tonight?"
Deacon Liu squeezed his stomach with his hands to resist hunger, and began to think about the food prepared in the kitchen.
…
…
Just when Deacon Liu was craving for the food in the kitchen, a small dinner party was going on in the inner courtyard of this huge courtyard.
A man with gray hair and brown eyes, with different precious ornaments on his fingers, sat on the side of the long desk. He picked up a crab the size of a bowl, brought it to his mouth, chewed it into pieces with the shell in one mouthful, and swallowed it.
After finishing the crab, he picked up another glass of orange-yellow liquid and took a slow sip.
This man who was obviously in a good mood was Bai Qingyang, the intermediate deacon in charge of preaching in the White Bone Sect.
"Haha, I didn't expect that after cooperating with the Mengxing Sect, our lives have gotten better little by little."
Bai Qingyang picked up another crab, bit it into pieces, and said to the person opposite Chang An in a brisk tone.
Opposite him, a woman with a stern face was munching on a roast chicken. At this moment, when she heard Bai Qingyang's words, she did not respond immediately, but insisted on eating most of the roast chicken before raising her head.
Her facial features were ordinary and not beautiful at all. She could even be considered ugly because of the scar on her forehead.
This woman has the same status as Bai Qingyang in the sect. She is also an intermediate deacon, named Gu Ying.
Gu Ying picked up the handkerchief, wiped his mouth, and retorted:
"Having a good life, what does it have to do with the Mengxing Sect?
"Those fat sheep have always been there. With our strength, it's not that we can't kill them. It's just that some big figures in the sect don't agree to do that. Otherwise, we would have been living like this long ago."
Bai Qingyang was stunned for a moment, thought about it carefully, and then nodded suddenly:
"It's true, it seems like we don't need to be grateful to the Mengxing Sect."
Gu Ying glanced at Bai Qingyang, but did not talk to him anymore. Instead, he continued to lower his head and started to deal with the remaining half of the roast chicken.
She really couldn't imagine what the guy across from him relied on to reach the position of an intermediate deacon in the sect.
Not with the brain anyway.
If it weren't for the big shots in the sect who were afraid of attracting too much attention from the officials, wanted to accumulate knowledge, and didn't want to make enemies prematurely, some of the fat sheep would have been killed and eaten long ago. What else could the Mengxing Sect do?
It was the Mengxing Sect that tore apart most of the things that belonged to the White Bone Sect.
Now, I don't know what benefits the Mengxing Sect used to "tempt" the sect's top leaders and make them agree to cooperate. The two factions will then share the benefits and deal with their enemies together.
Gu Ying swallowed the last piece of chicken and was about to take a crab to taste, when she saw Bai Qingyang unbuttoning his coat and taking off his coat.
"I feel a little hot."
Bai Qingyang raised his arm, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and smiled at Gu Ying.
Even though he was from the world of martial arts and was relatively familiar with her, he still felt awkward taking off his clothes in front of a woman.
"It's a little hot."
Unexpectedly, Gu Ying nodded in approval and wiped his face as well.
However, when she finished this action, she saw Bai Qingyang stood up suddenly and looked around.
When Gu Ying's thoughts came to her mind, she suddenly reacted, her body tensed up and she took a defensive posture.
Both of them are warriors. Even if they are not really immune to the cold and heat, they just drank a glass of wine at night, and they still don't understand clothes.
puff!
Suddenly, a burst of fire broke out, and the paper used to paper the window first burned.
"go out."
"Something isn't right."
The two looked at each other and made an instant decision. They ran or jumped, used the door or window to leave the house and came to the yard.
As Bai Qingyang and Gu Ying came to the courtyard, their field of vision became wider. Looking around, they immediately noticed the difference.
The innermost part of this four-entry courtyard, where the two of them were, seemed to be affected by some kind of force, and was separated from the previous part in a way that ordinary people could not detect.
Gu Ying narrowed his eyes and did not break out recklessly. Instead, he grabbed a message talisman and prepared to pass the news to the outside world and "tell" others about the situation here.
Seeing this, Bai Qingyang instinctively started to protect the woman next to him.
Buzz~ At this time, the message symbol in Gu Ying's hand flickered, and then quickly became dim.
…
Ps: It’s really hot and I’m sweating while typing.
Please give me a monthly ticket, I can't let you keep it and get moldy.
