Chapter 338 Nightmare Powder
Yun Jie endured the smell and lay under the table washing Mo Li's old feet.
"Old man Abbas, your son is Arenas, and Arenas is the God-King. Then what is your position in the Holy Domain?" Yun Jie said suddenly.
Mo Li, who was enjoying it, heard this, but he didn't expect Yun Jie to ask this, and after thinking for a while, he said, "I, I'm just recognizing a little bishop in the branch office of the Holy See." ”
"Impossible! Your strength is much higher than that of my master Luo Chi, and your status is definitely not a small bishop. It's still possible for the archbishop!" Yun Jie said firmly.
When Mo Li heard this, he became interested, and said, "Then do you think I have the demeanor of an archbishop?"
"Uh, this... I'm talking about strength, not looks. Yun Jie looked at the chrysanthemum-patterned Mo Lidao.
"Hurry up and wash!" Mo Li stomped his foot, so angry that his nose was crooked.
"Giggles," Fiona couldn't help but laugh.
"Oops, splash my face with footwater. Now, that stinky girl is laughing, let her wash, why do you want me to do it alone?" Yun Jie pointed to the gloating Fiona.
"She's a girl. Besides, they don't owe me. Mo Li grinned.
"Okay. When are we going to leave tomorrow?"
"Oh, we'll talk about it tomorrow. Moli was impatient.
Yun Jie lowered his head and bared his teeth.
"That nightmare beast lives in a human area, why didn't anyone clean them all up and let them plague passers-by?" Yun Jie asked as he rubbed his feet.
Mo Li listened and put down his knife and fork. Turning around, he said very seriously, "I'll answer this question for you." But you're going to tell me, what's your point of view?"
Yun Jie saw that Mo Li was so serious, and said nervously, "You don't have to tell me, I don't want to know now." ”
"Gotta know!" Mo Li stomped his foot, and the water splashed.
"Okay, good..."Yun Jie wiped the water droplets on his face and hurriedly said.
"Say, what's your point of view, or rather, what do you think?" said Mo Li, solemnly.
"You haven't said it yet, what point can I have?" Yun Jie called Qu.
"Ahh Listen up, Nightmare Beast. Ben is a small species that lives near the Yaksa Mountains in Wanjiang and likes to eat human flesh. Except for Wanjiang, there are few traces of them on the mainland. But in recent years, it has appeared near the Ganges River basin. Do you know why?" asked Moli with his head down.
"I'm not a local!" Yun Jie shrugged.
Mo Li glanced at Yun Jie and continued, "Why are you here?" Because someone caught them from the Yaksa Mountains in Wanjiang and stocked them on the only way to connect the royal cities of the world in this holy area. ”
"Why?" said Yun Jieqi.
"Because the Nightmare Beast is cunning and cannibalistic. However, they secrete a liquid that can be refined to make Nightmare Powder. As for nightmare powder, if humans smoke it, they can enter a fantasy state, that is, daydreaming. You can really experience everything you fantasize about in your dreams, such as women, rights, and even the world that you can't get. In general, in dreams you can get everything that you don't get. So, some people started to think about Nightmare Beasts. Risking their lives, they enter the hinterland of the Frontier to capture Nightmare Beasts and then refine Nightmare Powder. Sell it to the dignitaries and nobles in the Sanctuary, or even the current god king!" Mo Li said solemnly.
"Isn't there anyone in charge?" Yun Jie wondered.
"Yes. During Borg's reign, he issued a clear decree. It is strictly forbidden for any ethnic group or individual to capture and raise Nightmare Beasts. Violators will be killed! There are two reasons. First, to raise nightmare beasts, in order to produce high-quality nightmare powder, you must feed human flesh, which is inhumane. Second, nightmare powder is very addictive to humans after ingesting it. And it hurts the human soul. Whether it is for cultivators or ordinary people, the damage is very great!"
"It's like a drug on our planet. There are always generations of people trying it. Many people have ruined their families because of this, and even gone astray until they die..."Yun Jie said with feeling.
Mo Li nodded and agreed, "If it's just these addicts who die on their own, it doesn't matter if they don't leave others behind." However, the danger of Nightmare Powder is that you smoke it, and you need a lot of money to support it. How can there be so many rich people in the world? Therefore, when these people fall into drug addiction and cannot extricate themselves, in order to raise money for drugs, they kill people and sell goods, do all kinds of evil, and completely disrupt the humanitarian order! On the dark road, they go farther and farther. The end result is that when these addicts, thin as a bamboo pole, voluntarily become food for nightmare beasts. End this living life!"
"Why?" Yun Jie wondered.
"Because they were poisoned into the soul and the body. A large dose of Nightmare Powder is required every day. But they can't afford it anymore. So, as long as these people are allowed to suck enough at a time, they will voluntarily sacrifice their lives and become food for nightmare beasts. Hmph, from humans sucking nightmare powder to becoming food for nightmare beasts. What an ironic cycle! What do you think you need to do or how you need to do it if you get rid of this thing completely?"
Yun Jie was silent for a while, and said, "Actually, our situation there is similar to here. When dreams do not come true, or when there are big ups and downs, many people choose drugs to temporarily disconnect from reality. When there is no money to buy drugs, they decide to break the law and become criminals. Thus betraying relatives and families. Do you say they are bad people? Aren't they all damned? Not necessarily! If we talk about the root of this evil, then the people who raise nightmare beasts deserve to die the most! The people who sell nightmare powder deserve to die! Those who spread nightmare powder to others must die! But can this help humans get rid of nightmare powder? I don't think necessarily!"
"Why is it not necessarily a law?" Mo Li asked.
"Desire comes from people's indulgence. Nightmare powder is just a fuse that detonates people's dark desires! To completely get people out of nightmare powder, it takes a strong indoctrination of faith. Let everyone understand that ordinary life is the starting point of all good things!" Yun Jie said.
"Hehe, strong faith! Yun Jie, this is the divine revelation of the sun god. There's what you call a powerful belief in it. Let's see for myself. Perhaps, it inspires you. Mo Li said, hitting a ray of light into Yun Jie's eyebrows.
"I don't believe in God. Yun Jie said.
"Faith!" is the spiritual sustenance of human beings in the confused universe. Mo Li patted Yun Jie's head and smiled.
"Okay. ”
"You're on duty tonight. ”
"What?"
"What are you calling!"
Yun Jie's head was full of displeasure.
.....
After eating, Mo Li got into the carriage with his feet raised, not caring at all that he had just washed his feet. Yun Jie shook his head, hugged the basin, went up again, washed the old guy's feet again, and waited for the old man to go to bed to rest. After talking to the old guy for so long, my brain is a little dull. He jumped on the roof of the carriage, lay down, looked up at the starry sky, emptied his thoughts, and instantly felt a lot more relaxed.
The night is getting darker. Yun Jie released his soul sense and scanned the surroundings to see if there was any trace of the Nightmare Beast. Thankfully, no.
'I can get a good night's sleep tonight.' Vigil? hehe, brother is not in the mood. Oh, my little moon slave, I'm going to look for you. Did you miss me? And Pepper... And, of course, you, old fellow, are waiting for me...'
Below, the carriage door opened. Yun Jie woke up from his fantasy, and in the blink of an eye, Fiona had already jumped up and lay on her side.
In the moonlight, Fiona put her arms behind her head and quietly looked at the moon in the sky.
Yun Jie looked at Fiona lying on the side, and said to himself, "It's so embarrassing, shouldn't I say something?"
"Uhhhh
"Shut up!" Fiona.
“... All right. ”
"Is this the moon?" said Fiona, flickering her long eyelashes.
"yes. Next to it are stars that blink and wink...," Yun Jie explained.
"Shut up, I didn't ask you. Fiona said unappreciatively.
"Hey, is it interesting for you to come here and talk to yourself?" Yun Jie couldn't help but complain.
"I'd love to!" said Fiona.
"For the sake of you saving me once tonight, I endured it!" Yun Jie said with a deflated unhappiness.
"The elders and mothers once said that in the outside world, there will be sunshine and rain, lightning and thunder, there will be love between men and women, and there will be husbands and women. They describe the outside world so beautifully that we kids who grew up in utopia look forward to the day when we can come out and see what the outside world is really like...", whispered Fiona under the night sky.
Yun Jie didn't dare to talk this time, he felt that Fiona tonight was a little... I don't know what this girl is going to do.
'Alas, she said she didn't talk to me just now, is it...' Yun Jie immediately looked around vigilantly, then at Fiona, and said in his heart, "Hmph, this must be the Nightmare Beast becoming." Watch me go bold again and tear off her mask!'
Then, Yun Jie quietly stretched out his claws...
"It wasn't until a few days ago that I finally saw the outside world. The glare of the sun, the grandeur of the buildings, everything feels like a dream..."Fiona didn't realize that Yun Jie's claws were stretched out, and she was still talking to herself.
A scream pierced the night sky, and the birds in the forest were awakened and flapped their wings out of the woods. A female wolf with a difficult birth was frightened by this scream and gave birth to a litter of wolf cubs!
When he started with slippery skin, Yun Jie knew that it was over, and he miscalculated.
'Oh no, it's really Fiona, not a nightmare beast becoming. It's miserable...' Yun Jie grinned and moved back.
"Hehe, hehe... test it. I'm scared of the Nightmare Beast, don't mind. Yun Jie looked at Fiona with a murderous face, and his liver trembled.
