Chapter 234 Thought pollution
Lan Tiao tentatively said, "If that's the case, I think you can continue to be a priest."
Ye Zhongli shook his head, "No, my faith is no longer firm and I am not suitable to continue to be a high priest..."
Lan Tiao was puzzled: "Why?"
Ye Zhongli stopped talking. He couldn't say that although he had unswervingly expressed his loyalty to the gods just now, in fact, his heart had already been shaken. He felt that Zhuge Chengxi's idea was right. Practitioners could become stronger through hard work and support themselves. Is it not good?Why beg for mercy?
Maybe the gods are stronger practitioners...
Perhaps, everyone can become a "god"?
Ye Zhongli shook his head violently, gritted his teeth and said, "My thinking has been contaminated by Zhuge Chengxi."
"How was it contaminated?" Lan Tiao asked.
"Your curiosity is really strong." Ye Zhongli couldn't laugh or cry, "It's not good for you to know too much. You just need to faithfully perform your duties as the high priest. In addition, if you are fine, you can come to cry in front of the statue more often. When you cry, you can better feel the compassion of the gods for the world. Maybe the gods will grant you more abilities in the future. I hope you will not become like me like this. I feel that I will never be able to go to the gods after I die. The country is over..."
At this moment, the other half of the body belonging to Zhuge Chengxi appeared again. He said: "Isn't it good to be alive? Why do you think about your own death? Maybe I can cultivate to the state of immortality. Then you can follow me. If I live forever, maybe I can become a god and enjoy the incense of earthly believers."
"Wait, incense... Why didn't I realize before that we can also offer incense to the gods?" Ye Zhongli murmured to himself.
Zhuge Chengxi said: "Oh, it doesn't matter, you can offer me incense in the future."
"Don't even think about it!" Ye Zhongli's expression immediately became excited, "You shameless thief..."
"Obviously you are more shameless. If you hadn't cast the incomplete spell, how could the two of us be like this?" Zhuge Chengxi said.
Ye Zhongli felt guilty, "I...I didn't fully understand the power of the spell given by the gods. I originally wanted to curse you to death, but it turned into what it is now, causing you and me to live and die together..."
"Bah! I will definitely find a way to get rid of you."
"I don't want to live with you either!"
The two people were arguing and walking down the mountain.
Lan Tiao caught up and said, "Excuse me, where are you two going?"
Zhuge Chengxi replied: "When I return to the city lord's palace, my uncle will definitely find a way to save me."
Ye Zhong said sternly: "If you don't go to the City Lord's Mansion, you will live in the Living City. I want to have a deep understanding of what the lives of you thieves are like."
"Oh, I think you are just afraid of my uncle, so you don't dare to go to my house."
Ye Zhongli said confidently: "Yes, I'm just afraid. What can you do? If you have the ability, kill me!"
Zhuge Chengxi: "..."
Lan Tiao said: "Can the high priest leave the scope of the miasma?"
"Originally it was impossible, but the mark between my eyebrows disappeared... Now I am no longer worthy of becoming a believer in the gods, but when I get rid of Zhuge Chengxi, I will come back. By then, I hope you, Lan Tiao, can help me complete the transformation ceremony. Let me rediscover my faith." Ye Zhong said sternly.
"Okay...Okay..." Lan Tiao agreed first, and at the same time silently added in her heart: If I am still here at that time, I will help you. If I leave, then you can only pray to the gods for help. .
Ye Zhongli and Zhuge Chengxi left on foot, but after a while, the two men came back.
Lan Tiao was watering the fields while thinking about how to take his future path. He wanted to go home, see his sister, and see how she was doing, but at the same time he was reluctant to let go of the gods. Lan Tiao's inner moral concept was still Very strong. If he were asked to catch the sacrifice, he would not be able to bear it, but it would be unrealistic to ask him to completely abandon the gods now——
Everyone with a mark between their eyebrows has been influenced by the gods in their ideology and is instinctively loyal to the gods. However, some people are not loyal enough. Therefore, when their lives were in danger, they would kneel down and beg Zhuge Chengxi for mercy. , but their behavior is not considered betrayal, at most it is fear of death. It is impossible for the tribe to rebel against the gods, and "breaking away from the race" is equivalent to a kind of betrayal. Therefore, Lan Tiao instinctively resists this. Seeing Ye Zhongli and the two When he came back, Lan Tiao asked in surprise: "Does the high priest have anything else to tell me?"
Ye Zhongli said awkwardly: "Without the Compassion Clan to lead the way, we can't go down the mountain...so I hope you can give us a ride."
Lan Tiao said: "I want to leave too...but I don't want to gouge out the mark on my head..."
The implication is that he hopes Zhuge Chengxi can help him.
"Lantiao, how could you have such rebellious thoughts!" Ye Zhong scolded.
Zhuge Chengxi smiled and said: "You are just an ordinary mortal now. If you quit the Compassion Clan, you won't be able to live long in the Living City. I suggest you continue to live here..."
Of course, the most important reason is that if Lan Tiao withdraws, who will send the two of them down the mountain?
It is true that he can help Lan Tiao cut out the meat after going down the mountain, but... But Zhuge Chengxi still wants to take time to come here in the future. If he happens to meet the gods one day, he can use the gods to test the power of Fen Xinyan. But after the trial, Lan Tiao still needs to lead everyone down the mountain. Unless the miasma in the entire mountain is completely dissipated, then Lan Tiao will no longer be needed to guide the way.
"You're right..." Lan Tiao thought for a while and realized that she was currently powerless and was indeed not suitable to return to the Living City.
He thanked Zhuge Chengxi, then sent the two of them down the mountain, and returned to the mountain alone.
Lan Tiao picked some cabbage from the field, cooked it with noodles, added a little less salt, and ate a meal with clear soup and water. Then she went to the high priest's home and found the books, which were placed in the secret room. Staring at two luminous pearls, the light was soft and white. Lan Tiao raised her head and stared at the luminous pearls embedded in the wall, thinking: "My sister might like it."
So he found a bench, stood on it and took out the Ye Mingzhu. Then he selected a few books and started reading.
Early the next morning, Lan Tiao went down the mountain, hid in the dark and secretly observed, and locked a cultivator in the Ying Yuan realm. It is said that the Ying Yuan realm has the lowest grade and the weakest cultivation level, and often plays the role of cannon fodder, but Lan Tiao found out They formed a three-person team, all three of them were in the Infant Yuan realm. Everyone in the team was more thoughtful and tried to trick each other. In the end, the young man with sinister eyes successfully tricked and killed two teammates and won.
Moreover, this young man with sinister eyes is also a demon cultivator.
Lan Tiao caught the young man up the mountain.
