In the study, time flies, and in a blink of an eye, Yan Bei has been in Nanzhao for a month.

During this month, Shi Jieren gradually changed his opinion of her, from stupidity at the beginning to reverence now.

During this teaching time, Yan Bei's words that burst out from time to time made him feel like he had found a companion.

If he used to think that Yan Bei was a stupid human, now this stupid human has become a different kind of person.

A kind of person who is detached from the mortal, just like him.

"How's it going?" Just thinking about her, her voice came in, and Shi Jieren hurriedly put away his thoughts and looked at the calculation formulas in front of him.

"The weather is very good today, I haven't had a chance to take a good look at this city after coming to Nanzhao for so long, do you want to be my tour guide today?" Yan Bei slowly walked into the study and asked with a smile.

"Where do you want to go?" Shi Jieren asked suspiciously.

He didn't directly refuse, that is, there is a play.

Yan Bei immediately rushed forward, closed the math textbook in front of him, and jokingly said, "Go wherever you think it's fun." ”

"Let's go to the Holy Lake." He got up and straightened his crumpled robe, and walked out first.

Yan Bei hurriedly followed, and saw that he had called two more disciples to fetch food, and when the two disciples brought the food, they set off together.

Two congregants walked ahead with a cart full of food, covered with heavy cloth, and it was impossible to see what was inside.

But there was a rotten smell wafting out of it, and Yan Bei may not be familiar with other rotten smells, but this smell was a taste that she could never forget in her bones.

The breath of the dead.

The brows that were originally relaxed because of the play immediately furrowed, and he had already vaguely guessed what the young man next to him was going to do.

The Holy Lake of Nanzhao Kingdom was still a holy place a month ago, but now it is different, the Water Demon Beast suddenly appeared, Lin Qing'er sealed the Water Demon Beast at the bottom of the Holy Lake, and now it has become a forbidden place.

In the plot, it is described that the Lunatic Cult Master wants to resurrect the Water Demon Beast, and has been sacrificing his living life to the Water Demon Beast Yin Spirit, and now it seems that he is definitely going to do it.

It's just that it's just now, and he doesn't know that human sacrifice is useful, so he tries it with the dead first.

The wheels rolled forward, and remembering that there were all corpses lying on it, Yan Bei felt panicked in his heart.

A good outing is filled with corpses, who can still be in a good mood?

"What's wrong with you?" Sensing her displeasure, Shi Jieren asked suspiciously.

The reason why he chose to bring her to this place was because he believed that she would definitely understand what he was doing, after all, they were the same kind of people, so she should be able to understand him.

But now it seemed that she was about to disappoint him again.

Yan Bei didn't answer his question directly, but asked rhetorically, "Do you think the world is bad now?" ”

Hearing this, he smiled, still the same smile that everyone in the world was drunk and I was awake.

After laughing for a while, he looked at her and asked, "Do you think the world is good?" ”

Asked, without waiting for her to answer, he continued: "There is no trust between people, merchants are philistine, poor people are evil, kings and ministers are suspicious of each other, children hate adults, and adults hate children...... In this world, there is too much ugliness. ”

He sighed, his eyes full of disappointment in the world, "Living in such a world, people will not be happy. ”

"Your ideas are too extreme." Yan Bei unceremoniously gave his own evaluation of these words.

Shi Jieren frowned slightly, and retorted: "It's that this world is too extreme, people live in a world without love, and I really feel sad for them." ”

"Are you sure there is no love in this world?" Yan Bei raised his eyebrows and asked rhetorically.

He didn't hesitate at all, and nodded directly, "No." ”

What is love?

What is Love?

He has been exploring, but has not received answers, so it turns out that there is no love in this world.

Yan Bei knew what he was thinking when he saw his expression, he shook his head helplessly, looked at the holy lake that gradually came into view, and asked faintly:

"If I can prove that the world is a loving world, do you still want to destroy it?"

"Is there love in this world?" He sneered, generously spread his hands, and nodded: "Okay, then you prove it to me, in fact, I want to know what love is." ”

This look, at first glance, is sure that there is no such thing as love in this world, so he can say such things so generously.

Yan Bei didn't debunk his true thoughts, just nodded and motioned for him to wait and see.

If this paranoid young man had known what love had been earlier, his tragedy might not have happened again.

The holy lake arrived, it was a green lake, and there was not a single ripple on the calm surface of the lake, like a pool of stagnant water.

There is a stone statue in the center of the lake, with a human body and a snake tail, holding a magic staff and standing firmly in the middle of the lake, even if you know that the person is dead, you can still feel the powerful power.

Yan Bei's ears moved, he heard the sound of water flowing down the waterfall, released his divine sense, and when he looked at it, he found a stilted building that he was familiar with.

It was the medicine house of Shu Yuanqing, and the waterfall was where Anu found her.

I still remember that day when she stood at the bottom of the waterfall and asked what was above the Anu Falls, she replied that it was a forbidden place.

It turns out that the holy lake is the forbidden land in the mouth of Anu.

Yan Bei stood by the lake and looked at the stone statue of Lin Qing'er in the center of the lake, and vaguely felt that a remnant soul was peeking at him, and his brows furrowed slightly.

Shi Jieren was so focused on preparing for the sacrifice that he didn't notice the remnant soul at all.

Yan Bei glanced at the cart full of corpses, frowned and said to Shi Jieren, "I'll go around the area, you can call me." ”

"There you go." Thinking that she hated the smell of decay emanating from the corpse, he smiled and nodded, looking considerate.

Yan Bei had already gotten used to his appearance, rolled his eyes, and flew away in the opposite direction without looking back, stopping in the woods on the east bank of the lake.

As soon as she arrived, she saw a green glow float up from the lake, transforming into a woman in front of her eyes.

The woman was dressed in a dark green dress, her hair was pulled high, she was holding a magic staff in her hand, her facial features were feminine, and her every move revealed a compassionate attitude.

Yan Bei looked at the statue in the lake, then at the woman in front of him, and definitely asked, "Nuwa's descendants?" ”

The woman bowed her head and smiled lightly.

"Lin Qing'er?" Yan Bei asked again.

She nodded anyway.

Yan Bei nodded in understanding and did not speak again.

Lin Qing'er's remnant soul turned around, looked at Shi Jieren who was throwing corpses into the lake in the west, suddenly sighed, and said in a low voice:

"I thought I would never be able to wait for someone who could change the fate of my Nuwa clan, but I didn't expect this remnant soul to remain here, and I actually waited for my seniors."
