The main shrine is surrounded by a huge plaza dotted with dozens of small gardens of various sizes. Some of the forests are deep and leafy, while others are just dwarf flowers and shallow grasses.

People gathered in groups of three or five, bathed in the divine light, their faces full of satisfaction and happiness. White birds, dragging their long tails, glide from garden to garden, not afraid of the living.

Here, as long as you want, you can have a job that matches your identity, and it can be said that everyone can settle down and work as long as they don't have much desire.

Mina took off her shoes and ran through the marble-paved square, her hands outstretched.

Many luxuriously dressed people around him did not shy away from it, and the eyes of the girl were full of love. It was as if under this divine light, everything was so beautiful.

However, the moment he stepped onto the square, Li Xiang's gaze was fixed on the ninety-nine marble staircases of the temple. It was a huge fountain. In the middle is also a golden statue of a god, and unlike the statue at the top of the temple, this statue holds the Great Sword of Light in its hand and a black human statue at its feet.

There are no facial features, no limbs, but the pain and hideousness are vividly expressed.

Seeing the black statue, Li Xiang's heart involuntarily twitched, and he was completely stunned in place.

"Little brother, is it the first time you're here?" A tired and lazy voice suddenly came from the side.

Li Xiangxun followed, and three meters away, an old man was wearing a broken felt hat that was rare even before, holding a bamboo stick in his hand, and leaning on a stool in rags.

Obviously, he has been hungry for many days, his exposed arms are already skinny, his cheeks and eye sockets are sunken deeply, and he has no energy to look at Li Xiang's eyes.

The appearance of the old man was like a piece of dog shit on the white jade square, which was extremely eye-catching. Almost everyone who passed by subconsciously avoided it, so that the iron plate, which had already been deformed, was still empty.

Li Xiang walked over, squatted down in front of him, and said apologetically: "Old man, I don't have any money on me." ”

"What does it matter?" The beggar-like old man showed his badly missing teeth and smiled dryly.

Li Xiang asked, "Why didn't the old gentleman go looking for a job?" ”

The old man laughed, "Look at this square, where is an old man of my age?" ”

Li Xiang suddenly realized that there was not even an old man in this huge square, and he couldn't help frowning.

The old man continued: "What God needs is giving, not taking. I can't do a job that can only be changed by losing my head. ”

"Then the old gentleman is not worried, are the people of the temple arresting you?" Li Xiang asked with a smile.

The old man smiled faintly, shook his head and said, "I catch it once every three days, so I got used to it." ”

"Then why is the old gentleman here?" Li Xiang continued to ask.

The old man said: "I just want young people like you to see clearly that this world is not so beautiful." ”

"Isn't it really pretty?" Li Xiang turned his head to look at the statue standing tall in the middle of the fountain.

"Is it good?" The old man asked rhetorically.

Li Xiang just smiled lightly, didn't continue to dwell on this issue, and asked, "Does the old gentleman know who the black statue below is?" ”

"Demon King, everyone knows it. Or you can ask the little girl who brought you there. The old man laughed.

The corners of Li Xiang's mouth moved, and finally he didn't speak, shook his head and said, "No need." ”

The old man suddenly tilted his head and stared at Li Xiangdao: "If I tell you that this statue was erected here by humans themselves, will you be disappointed?" ”

Li Xiang realized that this was a very serious question, and stared at the old man in front of him for a long time.

The old man just looked at him with a smile, as if he had to wait until he understood.

"Of course!" Li Xiang had no way to go against his heart.

The smile on the old man's face slowly disappeared, but he sighed slightly and said, "I'm tired, right?" ”

He stretched out his hand and pointed at the cheering girl in the square, and said lightly: "Look, how good it is to be like this little girl." I never think about why I can only live for 30 years, and naturally I don't have to worry about what to do when I get old? Do you dare to say that such a society is not paradise for her? ”

Li Xiang couldn't refute it, but he just looked at the girl who was dancing happily in the square, and he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

"Li Xiang, come and see, come and see." Mina suddenly kept waving at Li Xiang.

Li Xiang smiled apologetically at the old man, got up and walked briskly towards Mina.

"Long live freedom." The voice of the old man behind sounded. Li Xiang didn't pay too much attention to it.

"Look, that's a god!" Mina's eyes widened. She never thought that the first time she came, she would really meet the gods.

Li Xiang turned his head to look, and sure enough, a white figure floated in the sky outside the gate of the temple, and the two circles of light behind him were exuding a faint luster at this time, like white jade.

Those golden eyes swept back and forth across the square, as if they were probing for something.

Mina tugged at Li Xiang's sleeve, "Let's make a wish." After speaking, he quickly closed his eyes, folded his hands and began to pray.

Li Xiang turned his head to look, the old man didn't know where to go, and almost everyone in the entire square knelt on the ground, chanting words in their mouths, telling their hearts and wishes.

The pure white figure that is two meters tall is perfect and makes people dare not look at it. His gaze did not linger on any person, but suddenly cast into the distance, and the next moment his body had turned into a streamer of light, sweeping away from the air.

Except for Li Xiang, no one saw this scene.

When they opened their eyes, everyone had a dream on their faces.

"Li Xiang, do you think my dream can come true?" Mina said expectantly.

Li Xiang frowned, reached out and touched the girl's hair, and said lightly: "It should be possible." ”

"What did you just wish?" Mina looked at Li Xiang curiously.

Li Xiang smiled and said, "I didn't have time to make a wish, you opened your eyes." ”

"Then you hurry up and make up for it. Believe me, God will hear you. Mina said anxiously.

My voice?

Li Xiang thought in her heart, if the girl knew that there were at least hundreds of gods who died in her hands, would she collapse? If she was told that the gods in her heart were nothing more than a group of invaders, even robbing her of her life, would she be able to withstand the blow?

"No, let's go back." Li Xiang said lightly.

What he was concerned about now was what had made that gravity-level "god" so nervous that he was desperate to chase him out.

It seems that not all of this world is in the hands of the "gods", and there are still some things that make them nervous.

"Hey, how can I say hello." Mina sighed. However, the thought that it was possible for his wish to come true made me happy again.

When I go back, I must talk to Sister Hong, I envy her to death.

In the D13 civilian area, Mina took Li Xiang back to the rental house, and it was already late at night.

The two looked at the room with only a small single bed, and they were a little embarrassed. Mina put down her backpack, stuck out her tongue, and said, "It's okay, when Sister Hong comes back in a while, I'll go sleep with her, and I'll leave it to you here." ”

Li Xiang wanted to say that he didn't need to sleep at all, just meditate and cultivate, but when he thought that it would be inconvenient to stay in a girl's room like this, he turned around and prepared to go out.

At this time, the sound of footsteps in the corridor sounded, and with a "clang", the sound of various bits and pieces hitting the ground kept coming.

"Sister Hong is back." Mina happily jumped up from the bed and ran out.

Li Xiang heard the woman's low sobbing voice, and walked over, just standing outside the door.

In the dim room, the smell of inferior perfume mixed with alcohol came to her nose, and a woman in her early twenties was cloaked in a cloak, hugging her knees and crying silently.

She was dressed in a short skirt, revealing a pair of long legs, and all kinds of cheap cosmetics were spilled on the ground.

Mina hugged her from behind with a look of anxiety.

I don't know how long it took, but the woman finally stopped crying in a low voice, raised her head to wipe the tears from her face, and squeezed out a smile. "Don't worry, I'm fine."

She suddenly saw a shadow in front of her, turned her head suddenly, and saw Li Xiang standing at the door, she was shocked, and ran over with her head down and closed the door directly. Obviously, he didn't want people to see his embarrassment.

Li Xiang turned around and went back to his room.

After a while, Mina walked back, smiled apologetically, didn't speak, took a few clothes and went next door.

Li Xiang didn't think much about it, sat cross-legged on the ground, and began to check the condition of his body.

During tonight's trip to the temple, whether it was the appearance of the old beggar or the gravity-level "god", he was not able to find out at the first time.

Obviously, the physical condition is worse than expected.

In the past, within a radius of a few hundred meters, it was impossible for any energy fluctuation to escape his perception.

Soon, after entering the state of inner vision, he was a little helpless to find that the meridian nodes that he had originally opened up were now blocked again.

In other words, his current strength is only the Innate First Realm.

Li Xiangzai carefully examined the changes in his body, but fortunately, except for the sequelae of long-term immobility, there were no other hidden diseases, which couldn't help but make him breathe a sigh of relief.

After practicing all night, early the next day, Mina quietly pushed open the door and saw Li Xiang sitting cross-legged on the ground, as if he was asleep, so he walked over lightly and put a hundred yuan on the cabinet at the head of the bed.

She just wanted to leave, but found that Li Xiang had opened his eyes and looked at her.

She smiled a little awkwardly as she casually wrapped her black hair around the top of her head, revealing her slender, fair neck. "I thought you were still sleeping."

She pointed to the bed again, "It doesn't matter where you sleep. I'm going to work, it's the morning shift today, and I may not be back until six or seven o'clock in the afternoon, and there is a hundred dollars at the head of the bed, and you can buy it yourself for whatever you want to eat. ”

Li Xiang nodded slightly, pointed to the next door, and asked, "Are you okay?" ”

Mina's delicate brows furrowed, pouted, and said helplessly: "Sister Hong's job is like this, those rich people in District C often make some rude requests, and Sister Hong can't do it, so she suffers." She is the most beautiful of all the sisters who sing in our club, and she is also the only good person who I think has principles and bottom lines, which is why we can rent together. She wants to save face, so you must not mention these things. ”

In that kind of place, dignity and the bottom line are inherently cheap.

Before the divine disaster, Li Xiang had seen a lot, but he didn't expect that until now, there would be no change.

Li Xiang smiled and nodded.

"I'll try to get off work on time at night, and if you're not hungry, just wait for me to come back and eat together." Mina finished and turned to close the door.

Li Xiang closed his eyes again and tried to break through the first pass.

Now it is the first realm of congenital nature, and for ordinary people, he may already be a super master, but for Li Xiang, it is extremely uncomfortable.

The body is already slowly recovering, and if you can't break through these hurdles in time, I'm afraid it will also have some impact on your future practice.

He doesn't know what the future holds, but strength is always the guarantee of survival, this is the absolute truth.

The time for cultivation passed very quickly, and after noon, the sound of getting up and washing came from the next room, and Li Xiang didn't want to disturb others, but it didn't take long for the door to be pushed open.

The slender figure is wearing only a black sweatpants with a short T-shirt on top, his face is not powdered, his long permed hair is casually draped over his shoulders, and his standard goose egg face is a little lazy and sleepy. Especially the near-perfect proportions of the body.

Li Xiang had to admit that this was indeed a stunner.

She walked in generously, looked at Li Xiang, and said with a smile: "Are you planning to stay here and not leave?" ”

Li Xiang didn't pay attention to her.

She sat down in front of Li Xiang like this, stared at Li Xiang, and said, "You shouldn't have taken a fancy to my sister." I warn you, if you dare to use your brain, see that I don't find someone to break your legs. ”

Li Xiang looked at her quietly.

Her strong gaze at the beginning gradually became timid, rolled her eyes, stood up, didn't dare to look at Li Xiang, and said, "Forget it, you don't look like a bad person, but a big man, don't keep thinking about eating soft rice." Mina's salary is very low, less than 4,000 yuan a month, except for renting a house for 1,003 and the monthly round-trip transportation expenses, there is not much. I heard that I took you to the temple square last night, and this little girl is estimated to be distressed for a long time. ”

She said to herself, Li Xiang closed her eyes and continued to practice.

She glanced around and found that there was nothing unusual, and suddenly saw the hundred yuan on the bedside table, thinking of this stupid sister, all for the sake of others, and couldn't help but sigh a little.

"You can live here if you really want to, but at least you have to have a serious job." Seeing that Li Xiang ignored her, he immediately said angrily: "I'm talking to you, did you hear it?" ”

Li Xiang hurriedly opened his eyes and made an appearance of listening carefully.

With his current perception ability, of course he knew that the woman in front of him didn't have any malicious intent, but he just didn't want Mina to suffer.

She stood up for Mina, but in fact, she didn't have any bottom in her heart, and Li Xiang could even hear her irregular and accelerated heartbeat.

It's a natural sign of when a person is nervous.

"Don't worry, maybe I'll be gone in a few days." Li Xiang said lightly.

This is Li Xiang's heartfelt words. Of course, he won't always occupy other people's places, but now his body still needs a quiet place to recover, so he also accepted Mina's kindness.

The woman was obviously stunned for a moment, probably because she was afraid that Li Xiang would misunderstand her meaning, so she hurriedly said, "I'm not driving you away." ”

Li Xiang nodded slightly: "I know." I just don't want to cause you any trouble. ”
