Chapter 222 Give Up Your Heart
"No? There are strong and weak believers. I don't think I will lose." Zhuge Chengxi was unconvinced, but he couldn't prove himself, so he shook his folding fan very fast in anger.
"Don't think about it. It's better to practice while you have this time, or go and chat with your close beauty. I'll go handle official business, so I won't accompany you for now." The city lord felt that his head hurt, and suddenly remembered that he had done it when he was young. My nephew has a lot of problems, but my brother looks helpless. Now the situation has changed, and it is his turn to have a headache...
"Uncle, don't leave, uncle!" Young Master Zhuge Chengxi wanted to find out more information, but in the blink of an eye his uncle disappeared, leaving only a faint fluctuation of spatial spiritual energy in the air.
Zhuge Chengxi stood on the roof of the City Lord's Mansion, with a thoughtful expression on his face, and murmured: "The Lord of All Evils..."
He was really curious as to why those believers were able to possess abilities that were superior to those of cultivators simply by virtue of their belief in "gods".
If the Lord of All Evils is really that powerful, what else would a cultivator do on that day?Everyone just go ahead and believe in the gods. As long as the firmer and more fanatical your belief is, the more powerful you will be. There is no bottleneck yet...
Zhuge Chengxi decided to go to Ciguang Swamp to take a look.
However, the ending is destined to disappoint him, because the Compassion tribe will only take the initiative to arrest people when they need sacrifices. Now that the sacrifices are enough, the entire tribe lives on the tenth mountain, and the tenth mountain is controlled by the "gods". "Hidden by its great power, outsiders cannot see the mountain at all, nor can they find the way up the mountain.
Zhuge Chengxi refused to give up and continued to wander in the swamp. Within two days, the city lord sent people to capture him.

Secret realm.
Song He's recovery from his injuries was still very slow.
In order to enter the secret realm, he sealed a large part of his own strength. Moreover, most of his own abilities came from the heaven and earth. Although the secret realm also has heaven and earth, it is already a different concept from the world of the real world. It is like holding a sword from Darui Kingdom. When legal rules come to the living city, the city lord of the living city will not buy it at all.
In the same way, there is a huge difference between the rules of heaven in the real world and the rules of heaven in the secret realm, so Songhe's strength is infinitely weakened.
It is no exaggeration to say that when he was in the outside world, he could make countless cultivators surrender and willingly serve him as their master with just one look.
And in the secret realm, he still needs to waste time to develop followers, and these believers are not pious enough at all and soon escape his control.
Songhe could feel that the believers far away in Ciguang Swamp seemed to be constantly sending him the power of sacrifices. However, because they spanned two different worlds, the power delivered to him was weakened layer by layer. In the end, only one was in his hands. Bit by bit, this weak strength was almost nothing. Songhe felt that he had never been so miserable in his life. He was carrying his younger brother to recover from his injuries while avoiding the "fog beast" in the white mist.
He seemed to have seen this "fog beast" from a distance before, but he had never taken the initiative to provoke it. This day, Tiansheng Chihu was so bold that he even dared to put the fog beast into the secret realm...
Songhe cursed in his mind.
"It's wonderful..." At this moment, my brother's murmurings came to my ears.
Songhe was very angry when he heard this, "Zhutianmiao and our brothers ran away after the trick, and you still miss her. Next time we meet, I will cut off her flesh one by one, and crush her tongue into mud. See if she still cares about her." Do you dare to deceive me?"
"elder brother……"
Song Zirui felt that there was a lot of noise in his ears. He opened his eyes a little and found himself lying on the back of a deer. This deer was naturally his brother Song He.
"you're awake!"
Song He felt much better immediately, because his younger brother was rough and thick-skinned. As long as he could wake up, the wounds on his body would heal faster. By then, he, the older brother, would be able to recover faster.
Unexpectedly, Song Zirui closed his eyes and fainted again.
Songhe: "..." It seems that we can't be happy too early.
……
……
The Compassion Tribe, halfway up the mountain.
As time went by, Lan Tiao and others gradually discovered a problem, that is, the green leaf marks between their eyebrows were getting deeper and deeper.
This is really a bad thing, but there is no way to avoid it, because the Compassion tribe will lead them to worship the statue every day. This rule cannot be changed. Over time, Lan Tiao and others have memorized prayers and various kinds of praise to the gods. The more poems you memorize, the deeper the impact will be.
Gongsun Mang said anxiously: "We can't stay here any longer. I have a hunch that if we continue to live here and wait until we participate in the transformation ceremony, even if our bodies gain the right to freely enter and leave this mountain, But our hearts are locked in a cage, just like thunder. We believe in gods from the bottom of our hearts and no longer think about leaving."
Chu Zhuzhu looked frustrated and said: "I understand all the things you said. But we can't think of a way at all. I have given up running away now. Suddenly I feel that it is good to become a believer and live a free and leisurely life every day." In life, you no longer have to worry about your life being in danger, the clan members get along well with each other, and even the high priest has a good temper..."
"Have your thoughts been corroded by the life here before you even participated in the conversion ceremony?" Gongsun Mang asked sadly.
Chu Zhuzhu rolled her eyes indecently, "I can't change my situation, so I can only change my way of thinking. This will at least make me live more comfortably and feel less uncomfortable... You put it every day If the word "escape" is on your lips, then you should think of a way. What's the use of asking me and Lan Tiao every day?"
Gongsun Mang said: "I can't think of a way, so I came to ask you two."
Chu Zhuzhu said: "Don't ask me again in the future. My point of view is to make peace with what you have come to. We are already lucky. The next few batches of people who were arrested all became sacrifices and died...compared to What else are we dissatisfied with?"
"You are right, but I still want to escape...Brother Lan You, let's try to escape..." Gongsun Mang suggested.
Lan Tiao shook her head, "If you can't escape, just give up."
Chu Zhuzhu said impatiently: "Gongsun Mang, can you stop asking these useless questions? If you want to run away, you can run by yourself, and we won't stop you."
Gongsun Mang said: "If I dared to run alone, I would have run away long ago... When two people move, they have a companion and can take care of each other."
Chu Zhuzhu felt upset and simply didn't reply.
Lan Tiao's personality was more tolerant and easy-going, but she couldn't stand Gongsun Mang's coming every day, which made her ears tingle, so she simply closed her eyes and began to rest her mind.
