Chapter 152: Self-directed and self-staged deception

Wu Yi was surprised, he thought that Yin Jiuchen was the Holy Light Messenger who came to rescue him, but he didn't expect Yin Jiuchen to be so disdainful of the Holy Light, he thought of a possibility: "Do you believe in the dark night?"

What the hell is the dark night, Yin Jiuchen complained in his heart. I finally saw a bright light, came to take a look, met the human being hunted down, and saved him, he didn't come here to talk about what to believe, he came to ask for directions!

"No, I don't believe in anything, I only believe in myself," Yin Jiuchen hurriedly made up his mind, so as not to discuss this issue endlessly, he looked at Wu Yi with one hand on his waist, "Let me ask you, what is this place, where is Double Blade City, and how do I get there?"

It turned out to be a non-believer, Wu Yi took a deep breath, suppressed the churning thoughts in his heart, and took the lead in answering the benefactor's question: "This is the Hundred Leaf Forest, close to the upper reaches of the Dragon's Blood River, you have to walk a hundred miles west to reach the Dragon's Blood River, and a long way down the Dragon's Blood River is the Double-Bladed City, I don't know how far it is, after all, I haven't left here, if you want to go, it's best to go to the nearby Songyu Town and ask those merchants or church clergy to know." ”

"Can you please take me to Songyu Town?"

"Absolutely, willing to help you. Wu Yi knew that Yin Jiuchen didn't like people to bow down, so he raised his right hand and put it on his right chest and bowed slightly.

"Don't say 'you', just say 'you', and what should I call you?"

"My name is Wu Yi, Lord Yin Jiuchen. Wu Yi said respectfully, and then looked at the cute little girl on Yin Jiuchen's shoulder.

"My name is Anja. Anya noticed Wu Yi's gaze and replied.

"Yes, Miss Anya. ”

"......" Yin Jiuchen didn't bother to correct Wu Yi's name, and stretched his hand forward, "Then I'll trouble you to lead the way now." ”

"Wait a minute, Lord Yin Jiuchen, allow me to remove the fur of this yellow fox. Woe said.

Yin Jiuchen nodded, he is also a hunter, and it is common sense to take the most precious thing, he is not impatient, and the girl on the other side also stepped forward to help Wu Yi peel the skin.

"Are you here to hunt the yellow fox, or did you alarm it while hunting other orcs?"

"We're hunting yellow foxes. ”

"But I found that even if you and the dozen or so people from before were on the same page, you wouldn't be able to kill the yellow fox, why did you choose such a prey? Although the yellow fox's fur is good, it is more cost-effective to hunt other beasts with a lower realm, right?"

"This ...... This is also a last resort," Wu Yi paused and sighed, and continued, "The new priest-sama is particularly fond of soft furs, and this is what he personally ordered, and we have no choice. ”

Yin Jiuchen heard that there was another hidden truth in this, why did the priest order ordinary people, generally speaking, they did not have this right. In terms of religion, Yin Jiuchen had some contact with when he was in the academy, and although the status of the priests was higher than that of ordinary people, they could not order the people to do things like the official organization.

"Did something happen?" Yin Jiuchen raised his hand and played silently with Enya.

"Soon after the priest took office, there was an epidemic disease here, people with this disease will blister all over the body, itching unbearable, can't help but scratch out the body blood strips, although not fatal, but such itching all the time, people can't calm down at all. ”

Wu Yi packed up the fox skin and stood up, and continued to add: "The priest said that these diseases are caused by insincerity, and only faith in the Holy Light will be saved, and it is not enough to believe in the Holy Light alone, you also need to pay a monetary price to buy holy water, and after drinking the holy water, the strange itching will disappear for a while." ”

"So you have to buy it after a while?" Yin Jiuchen froze for a moment and stopped playing with Anya, his expression was very exciting.

"Yes. ”

"Hiss-" Yin Jiuchen was speechless, he crossed his arms, very disdainful, "This is clearly a farce of self-directed and self-acting to collect money, why doesn't anyone point it out?"

Wu Yi opened his mouth and didn't say anything, he actually suspected this possibility, but now that the holy water is in the hands of the priest, once the holy water is gone, I don't know how many people will go crazy, presumably this is the reason why the scam has not been uncovered for a long time. Maybe the scam will be broken when people are forced to the point where they are penniless and want to take risks, but by then the priest may have already left.

Wu Yi didn't speak, and Yin Jiuchen didn't have the interest to talk any further, he was just passing by here, there was no need to care about everything, and these people were a little strange in their thoughts, they were imprisoned by that holy light, and they didn't dare to think much at all, just like a group of docile sheep, occasionally going crazy became an outlier.

After disposing of the fox skin, the four of them walked out of the forest in silence.

Wu Yi first brought Yin Jiuchen to his small village, and after reporting to the people in the village, he disposed of the fox skin, mainly to pack it, and then led Yin Jiuchen to Songyu Town, Yin Jiuchen did not follow Wu Yi into the village, he really didn't like trouble.

Wu Yi's small village was not far from the small town of Pine Elm, and he arrived in the town that evening by relying on this carriage.

The architectural style here is not the same as Zhongzhou City, there are many spire buildings, and I like to carve some things on the stone, on the way, I heard Wu Yi say that this is because the stone can be preserved for the longest time, up to tens of millions of years, and the holy light likes to record everything with stone.

On the surface, the people here are in good spirits, the streets are still clean, and Yin Jiuchen didn't see anything wrong. Wu Yi was going to the church to hand over the fox skin, and Yin Jiuchen was also there, just as he wanted to ask the priest how to go to Twin Blade City.

The church is the tallest building in the town, it is easy to identify, the front of the church is a small square, Yin Jiuchen estimates that it can accommodate tens of thousands of people, in front of the square is three layers of white stairs, full of a sense of majesty and inviolability, above the stairs is the spire church of the blue tone, the church is luxuriously decorated with many stained glass, very beautiful, giving people a beautiful and sacred feeling.

Of course, Yin Jiuchen didn't care about the feeling of this building, he was more concerned about how much it cost to build this church. It's just a small town church so magnificent, if it's a big city, wouldn't it have to be a big palace?

Wu Yi said a few words to the knight who was guarding the stairs, and after hearing this, the knight asked Wu Yi to stand where he was, and he went to the lecture hall to report, and Wu Yi did not step on the steps the whole time.

Compared with the square covered with dirt, Yin Jiuchen couldn't help but think, could it be that the stairs are so white and clean because of this?
