Xu Ying showed a disappointed expression after hearing this.
He smiled bitterly and said, "Yeah, so I don't have much hope anymore."
Lin Beichen also said with some pity: "Cultivation is not the only way out. Besides, my cultivation level is still very low. Maybe Elder Xu has a way to help you open up your blocked Qi meridians!"
Xu Ying just smiled and shook his head.
Lin Beichen originally had some doubts about Xu Ying, but now that he was sure that Xu Ying could not progress further in practice, he basically no longer took Xu Ying to heart.
To Lin Beichen, a monk in the Qi training period was as insignificant as a child.
Xu Ying is just the eyes and ears Xu Qingqing left by his side!
Lin Beichen and Xu Ying slowly walked into the small city.
It's more of a densely populated area than a city.
After all, there is no so-called city wall here, and people live scattered.
"Are there any bullies in the city?"
Lin Beichen asked while looking at the pedestrians on both sides of the road.
Xu Ying smiled and said: "Bully? How can I tolerate such a person under my grandma's nose?"
In Lin Beichen's eyes, all the pedestrians on the road have zero moral character. They are neither good people nor bad people. They are ordinary and mediocre walking on the journey of life. Their lives are uneventful. Some ups and downs are nothing more than the difference between poverty and wealth, and they are not even the same. What kind of life and death crisis will you experience?
Pedestrians had strange expressions when they saw Lin Beichen. After all, Lin Beichen looked unfamiliar at first glance, and his behavior and even clothes were very different from those in the city.
They then saw Xu Ying and avoided him.
Lin Beichen could feel that kind of rejection. In his opinion, this should be normal and he didn't take it too seriously. He came here to find those guys with negative moral character.
As a result, the two of them walked around the city for a whole morning, and Lin Beichen was completely convinced.
There are no bad people or good people in the city, everyone has zero moral character.
Fortunately, there are some delicious food in the city, otherwise Lin Beichen would really feel sorry for wasting a lot of time in the city.
"No fun, let's go back."
After lunch, Lin Beichen said boredly.
Xu Ying walked to the counter to pay for the meal and said with a smile: "The city is really boring, how can it be as fun as our place? There are mountains, water, and grandma's warehouse."
Lin Beichen couldn't help but smile when he heard this. Xu Qingqing's warehouse is indeed a good place. Lin Beichen has never seen such a good place in his life. He can take good things at will, eat good elixirs at will, and use good treasures at will. It really makes Lin Beichen happy. Beichen had a feeling of being happy and unwilling to miss Shu.
At this time, Lin Beichen saw a trace of fear in the shopkeeper's eyes from the corner of his eye. Lin Beichen saw many such looks along the way, and he never cared much about it. After all, Xu Ying should be a celebrity around Xu Qingqing, otherwise he wouldn't Arrange for him to receive you.
At least he is highly regarded.
But now as he recalled these fearful eyes, Lin Beichen had a strange feeling.
It stands to reason that Xu Qing should be a harmless being to humans and animals. After all, he has zero moral character.
Lin Beichen suddenly found that there seemed to be some problems with his own standards for measuring good and evil. He always judged a person's quality based on his personal moral data. However, there were many people who he had never killed in his life, but that was not necessarily better than those who had killed many people. Guys are good and can be evil in many ways.
But to be honest, the system is not smart. If you have not killed someone, you are not considered a bad person and cannot go to hell. Perhaps the system cannot measure evil deeds other than killing.
Ordinarily, Lin Beichen really couldn't feel anything scary about Xu Ying. This person was modest and polite, loved to talk and laugh, just like the big boy next door. No matter how bad he was, how bad could he be?
Perhaps it was because Xu Qingqing's power was attached to him. For example, some petty officials, no matter how modest they were, would make ordinary people feel pressured as long as they wore official robes.
After returning to his residence, Lin Beichen started practicing again, while Xu Ying washed the vegetables bought from the city and prepared for dinner.
Lin Beichen stood in front of the mirror, watching the changes in blood vessels and bones, thinking that in three to five days, his blood vessels would be fully grown, and his bones would be fully formed in just one day.
By then the second catastrophe should have come.
…
The flames were blazing, and sparks were flying into the sky.
Weird and strange chanting echoed in the night sky.
A basin of bloody hearts was placed on the altar table.
There are at least twenty hearts in the basin, and each heart is beating loudly, and the blood vessels are still spurting out blood. The ones without blood make a chirping sound and are spitting out air desperately.
It was obvious that these hearts had just been dug out.
Behind this heart is a statue of a demon god.
"Great God of Heart Poison, this is an offering from our village to you. Please bless us with good weather this year. Please enjoy it slowly."
An old man with a gray beard knelt respectfully in front of the statue of the demon god.
Twenty young people were nailed to twenty sky stakes behind him. Without exception, these young people's chests were ripped open alive, their hearts were dug out, and blood kept gushing out.
They are all still alive at this moment, and it can be seen that they are in pain, but there is a pious and weird smile on their faces.
The statue of the God of Heart Poison, which was sitting motionless, suddenly swayed slightly and walked down from the altar.
This poisonous heart god had a bull's head and was tall and tall. He walked to the altar table, grabbed the heart and stuffed it into his mouth, chewing it, and blood flowed down his teeth.
The owner of the heart began to struggle painfully on the pile, as if their heart was still in their abdomen and they could still feel the pain of chewing the heart.
With a bang, the Heart Poison God swallowed his heart.
The struggling young man's eyes suddenly became distracted, and his soul walked out of his body. He respectfully came to the Heart Poison God and knelt down on the ground.
The Heart Poison God reached out and touched his forehead, and the spirit twisted and shrank into a small insect, happily immersed in the Heart Poison God's hair.
The Heart Poison God ate all the hearts in the basin, and all twenty young people died. The souls turned into small insects and flew into the Heart Poison God's hair!
The poisonous god looked at the old man praying for good weather with his huge bull's eyes, and murmured to himself. Then dark clouds rolled in the sky, and snowflakes slowly fell from the sky.
"Thank you to the gods for the blessing. The auspicious snow heralds a good harvest. We will definitely have a good harvest next year, and we will double our offerings then."
The old man happily kowtowed and thanked him.
And the demon god has re-mounted the altar, sitting still, turned into a clay sculpture and made no sound.
The old man turned around and looked at the people in the village who were kneeling in a large area: "Send the sacrifices to the Heart Poison Tower!"
Dozens of strong men came up, picked up the sky stake, and sent it into a tall tower not far away. If Lin Beichen were here and saw this tower, he would definitely shout, this is not the hundred in the ancient tomb. A tower in a tower array?
Some people died, but not completely...
