In other words. If Shen Lu really wants to kill the other party, he will inevitably show his killing intent, and there will inevitably be mana fluctuations, in this case, the opponent's mana cultivation is above Shen Lu after all, so there is still a high probability to dodge.

It's actually a trick to swap concepts.

After Shen Lu slapped him, he showed the silver needle again, which seemed to mean: I had the opportunity to kill you just now, but I thought that you were a minion, so I spared your life.

Because everyone subtly feels that if a person can humiliate another person in terms of strength, then this person must be much stronger than the other person.

But as everyone knows, in this extremely special environment, coupled with the blessing of Shen Lu's incomparably partial speed cultivation, it has become the current situation.

Shen Lu wanted to kill the other party, but it was actually a very difficult thing. But slapping the other party is a very easy thing.

Fang Lu was obviously not a particularly smart person, he didn't notice this trick that Shen Lu played, he really thought that his strength was far inferior to Shen Lu, and he had lost people to his sister, so he was ashamed to dodge.

Xie Jinchai looked at Fang Lu, then looked back at Shen Lu, suddenly sneered, and said to Shen Lu: "Shen Gongzi, it is my friend who has made a contradiction, and Hai'er is here to compensate you, and please don't remember anyone, don't take this matter to heart." As for what we are going to talk about, please come with me to the hall to talk about it. ”

After that, Xie Jinchai pointed to the unfinished big house behind him.

With Xie Jinchai's words, all the guards and subordinates around her dispersed, guarding the corners around this temple, and some obviously sneaked up on the roof, as if they wanted to monitor any corner of this temple in all directions.

They also knew that they didn't want them to know what Xie Jinchai and Shen Lu were going to talk about next, so this was also a way to avoid it.

At this time, Xie Jinchai had already taken the initiative to enter the hall, and Shen Lu could only walk in behind her.

This is obviously the main hall of this temple, and after it is completed in the future, most people will go to the main hall to pray for blessings or something, and they will enter the school in this main hall

The hall had not been decorated except for the outside building, and it looked empty at this time. But only directly opposite the gate is a huge statue erected in the center. It can be seen that the main deity of this temple is this statue.

In front of the statue there is a simple offering table with an incense burner on it, incense on the side, and there is a lot of incense ash in the incense burner, and candles are lit on both sides of the offering table.

Before Shen Lu could speak, Xie Jinchai suddenly walked to the incense burner, took three sticks of incense and lit it, and then bowed very reverently.

After inserting the incense, Xie Jinchai said, "I admire the people who built this temple. They didn't have much money, so they couldn't afford to hire labor, so they had to learn to build a house by themselves, and then gradually built the temple into what it is now. And during the construction process, they will also come to this Buddha statue in the morning and evening to offer incense and pray. We borrowed it temporarily, and they didn't put it up in any way, they just wanted me not to destroy the place they had built, and I promised them. This kind of devotional atmosphere is what I dreamed of. ”

Shen Lu didn't know why she suddenly got this up. But after hearing these words, Shen Lu was a little strange, and couldn't help asking: "Although I haven't been to Nanshan, Nanshan should respect the gods more, pay more attention to these gods, weirdness, prayers and the like, why do you envy this atmosphere?"

Xie Jinchai smiled for a moment, then shook his head bitterly and said, "Although you have the bloodline that Nanshan people dream of, you don't know anything about Nanshan. It is precisely because the people there attach too much importance to these things that the concept is gradually distorted. For example, our so-called four families of the first bloodline have long become a struggle for power. We should have been a model for the whole of Nanshan, but we could not escape the most vulgar and despicable power struggle. Isn't that ironic?"

After listening to her explanation, Shen Lu understood her mood a little.

The overall atmosphere of Nanshan is still very much believing in fate and believing in ghosts and gods. As the heir of the first bloodline, Xie Jinchai must have received the best training and education in Nanshan from the beginning, and he should be very yearning for the pious atmosphere that Nanshan has spread since ancient times.

But as she grows up and comes into contact with all kinds of absurd things hidden behind it, she will find that Nanshan's so-called piety has become a ridiculous drama.

"What a metaphor. Xie Jinchai paused, and then said to Shen Lu: "This is like a very poor person who bought a bun, but he didn't want to fall on Lin." He didn't have the money to buy another bun, so he had to pick it up, pat off the dust on it, and at most tear off the skin, whether he should eat it or eat it. While eating, he looked up at a big house, where the richest man in the local area lived, and he was fantasizing: This richest man must be eating big fish and meat at home, living a life without worrying about food and clothing, eating and drinking, this life is really good. ”

Shen Lu suddenly interrupted her when she was talking here, and added: "But in fact, this big family is also eating a bun that fell on the ground. It's a pity that this bun didn't fall on the ground unintentionally, but the richest man himself deliberately threw it on the ground, and then picked it up and ate it. His purpose was just for show, to teach his children the so-called thrift. Unfortunately, this is only one of the lessons. The children said that they would be thrifty and thrifty, and then they would continue to enjoy the big fish and meat at the dinner table with their father, and they would do so for the rest of their lives. ”

Xie Jinchai looked at Shen Lu in surprise, and gasped before saying, "You actually know what I have in mind?" Except for some differences, your example is almost exactly the same as what I thought. ”

Shen Lu asked, "What's the difference?"

"I originally planned that the three sons of the richest man deliberately dropped the buns on Lin, and then they all picked them up and patted the dust to disguise their thrifty appearance, just to give their father a good impression, and then inherit more family property. ”

Shen Lu smiled: "This is the different angle of our views on this matter. In your opinion, this is the makeup of the younger generations, but in my opinion, it is hypocrisy and showmanship that has been passed down from the ancestors. ”

Xie Jinchai was silent for a while, then suddenly nodded and said, "Maybe it's really like you." Everything in Nanshan is a hypocrisy from the ancestors. Until now, the fake has become real. In addition to the neighboring first and second gears, many people in Nanshan understand this, and most of the other people are still immersed in the so-called pious atmosphere of Nanshan and can't extricate themselves. They will subconsciously think that the four families of the Four Divine Mountains will bless them for eternity, and they will be willing to pay a hand for the Four Divine Mountains."

The four sacred mountains in her mouth refer to the four mountains of the Green Dragon, the White Tiger, the Vermilion Bird, and the Xuanwu.

Shen Lu was puzzled and asked, "Isn't this a very pious atmosphere?"

"I want genuine piety, not false piety. Xie Jinchai suddenly raised her voice, as if she was very emotional now.

But even in this case, Xie Jinchai's voice only raised slightly, her expression and body language, etc., have not changed, and it can be seen that her cultivation is indeed innate.

After Xie Jinchai finished this sentence, he sighed deeply, then turned to Shen Lu and said, "I'm sorry to make you laugh." Let's go back to our own topic, that is, the marriage of the two families of Xie Liu. ”

Shen Lu didn't seem to want to change the subject. He sneered disdainfully, glanced at Nanbian Po meaningfully, and then said: "The two major families of Nanshan, who should be the most divine and see through the world, are doing the most inferior and superficial things, which really makes people want to laugh." ”

Why Shen Lu was suddenly angry was precisely because he thought of Master Wukou and Master Dingxiu.

They are all clergy, the kind of people who are devoted to holiness and are extremely devout. Not only do they follow the traditions of the Holy Door, they are charitable, helpful, and compassionate, but they are also very strict with themselves.

Master Dingxiu did something that was hardly a big mistake, which led to some tragic consequences, so he used the determination to punish himself and make up for his mistakes, devoted himself to the study of medicine, and took the initiative to take on the extremely dangerous and thankless task of protecting the fairy child.

From Xie Jinchai's mouth, we can know that Master Wukou can go to great lengths to build this temple. But in the face of an invasion by outsiders, he still chose to retreat in the most amicable way.

On the way here, after Shen Lu met Master Wukou, Master Wukou's original purpose should have been to prevent Shen Lu from entering the cluster at risk. Because Master Wukou had already seen that Xie Jinchai and them were not good, and had already set a trap waiting for people to step into.

And in order to prevent Shen Lu from putting himself in danger, Master Wukou came to stop him halfway. But in this process, Master Wukou found that Shen Lu seemed to have the ability to break the game, so he taught Shen Lu something by words and deeds.

As for why Master Wukou knew Shen Lu and why he was so good to Shen Lu, Shen Lu didn't know much about this. But the only thing that is certain is that the things that Master Wukou taught Shen Lu are the only way to deal with Xie Jinchai.

It is precisely because of the greatness of these two masters that Shen Lu is full of awe and respect for the Holy Gate and the Holy Priest.

After they joined the Holy Gate, they put their own life and death on the line, and everything they did was in the service of the common people of the world according to the treaty of the Holy Gate.

And where is the root of their faith?

Nanshan, of course!
