But after he was exclaimed, he suddenly asked me, "Where are the clothes?" ”

I didn't immediately realize what he meant, so he explained to me, "It's the clothes we wore today, and I remember you came with that bag." ”

He forgot how he got here, but he remembered the clothes, and this selective memory may be a manifestation of his piety.

I picked up the duffel bag from the ground and unzipped it.

Yesterday I put the green steel sword in this bag, and then took it out, but I never had a chance to study what was inside, and then I could see clearly by the sunlight shining through the window that the travel bag contained a few black robes and some black chains.

I know the robe is worn on the body, but what is the chain for?

Boss Zhang ran to me excitedly, picked out a robe that fit his body type from his travel bag and put it on his body, took out an iron chain, and hung it around his neck.

The iron chain was at least more than a meter long if it was taken apart, but Boss Zhang actually hung it around his neck like a necklace, and the tattered robe made him look like an ancient felon.

I asked Boss Zhang, "You wear it like this...... No problem, right? ”

Instead, Boss Zhang looked at me very suspiciously: "Every time we recall our past lives, don't we all see a person dressed like this?" In the previous life, it was said that only by dressing up like this could one show devotion to miracles. ”

My eyes widened and I said, "I thought I was the only one who saw it!" ”

Boss Zhang gave me a very unhappy look: "Cut, do you think you are the only one who is religious?" ”

After saying that, he went to the bathroom in that dress, and I let out a long sigh of relief, but fortunately I reacted quickly and barely got through.

At about nine o'clock, everyone in the room finished eating, changed into black robes, and waited for the summons of the sect leader.

I was a little worried in my heart, I don't know how this so-called sect leader plans to receive these students, whether he will meet with fifty people at once, or summon them one by one, if Liang Houzai's speculation yesterday is correct, and the time of this meeting is very short, then the former is more likely.

But the others obviously didn't have such a heart, they all looked pious and waited silently.

It didn't take long for the bald man to appear at the door, he had only suffered a knife wound last night, and he was able to move his arms freely early this morning, he stood in front of the door, pointed to the people in the room one by one, and coldly threw down a sentence: "Come all." Then he turned and walked away.

The other people who lived in the same room with me jumped out of bed as soon as they heard his words, and then rushed out of the house.

I followed them and walked out slowly.

When I left the earthen house, I found that there were already a lot of people gathered outside, and Liang Houzai's guess was indeed correct, and at this time, all the students who participated in this summoning came out of the house, and everyone had an expression of impatience.

Yi Qingping and Wang Daogu commanded everyone to line up in a long line, and the bald man let me walk at the end of the line because of my grudge. It seems that as long as I can meet the "sect leader" later, it will be a successful revenge for him.

The class leader counted the number of people and confirmed that everyone was in the queue before shouting "Go!" And Yi Qingping led the whole team to the house in the center of the village.

The house in the center of the village looked much bigger than the earthen house we stayed in last night, with a spacious earthen courtyard surrounded by it.

I saw a few students who drove yesterday standing at the gate of the courtyard, most of them either looked wooden or as devout as Boss Zhang, but I found that there was one person with a very strange expression inside, only he glanced at everyone who walked into the courtyard door, and the others were all stunned and stared straight ahead, as if we people did not exist. When he saw us, there was always a little helplessness in his eyes, as if he wanted to stop us, but he didn't dare to say more.

Until I walked into the courtyard gate with the last one in the line, the young man still didn't say anything.

Yi Qingping led the team into the room, and I saw a secret door connected to the wall facing the door, and the light in it was very weak, and students kept walking in, and then I saw their positions slowly descend until the top of their heads disappeared from my field of vision. There was a sloping tunnel in the door.

I was the last to enter the secret door, and when I walked up the secret door, the secret door was closed, and there was a slight metal collision sound outside, and it was supposed that someone outside was locking the secret door.

It was at this moment that I suddenly heard a muffled "bang" outside the door, but the sound of metal colliding from the doorknob stopped abruptly.

I couldn't help but smile, it must have been that they had already touched it, and they didn't know how to knock out the person who locked the door, so there was that muffled sound.

The tunnel was very deep, and I followed the team for a long time before I came to a spacious area with bright fire.

This is a hole dug by hand deep underground, the distance between the top of the cave and the ground is about three meters, there are several thick wooden pillars supporting the roof of the cave, and there is an artificially dug arched tunnel on each of the four walls of the hole, I don't know where it leads.

After Yi Qingping took all the students into the cave, the class master counted the number of people again to make sure that there were no problems, and then he said to Wang Daogu: "Ask the master." ”

Wang Daogu walked quickly into the tunnel connected by the earthen wall on the left, and it didn't take long for her to hold a Taishi chair that looked very heavy and walked out of it, on the surface, it should be a solid wood chair, the back of the chair is very thick, and the armrests on both sides of the Taishi chair look very thick, I estimate that the weight of this chair is at least one hundred and fifty pounds, and the Wang Daogu in front of her looks thin, but her strength is not proportional to her figure.

Wang Daogu placed the Taishi chair in the center of the cave, took a deep breath, and then shouted: "Welcome to the sect leader!" ”

I was about to see what this so-called sect leader really looked like, but at this moment, someone in the team knelt down with a thud and raised their hands and shouted, "Long live the sect leader!" ”

After shouting, he fell prostrate on the ground, his whole face facing the ground, just like the subjects of the Qing Dynasty when they met the emperor.

After him, the cadets did the same one after another, and in an instant, everyone was prostrate on the ground, almost burying their faces in the soil.

In order not to make Yi Qingping and them suspicious, I also followed their example and lay on the ground, but I didn't shout "Long live the sect leader", anyway, so many people spoke at the same time, and no one would notice me if I didn't have one.

The cave was quiet for a short time, and I heard footsteps coming from the tunnel on the left, and I wanted to look up to see who the person who came out of the tunnel was, but everyone was lying on their stomachs, and if I looked up at this time, I would definitely be found.

After the footsteps left the tunnel, I went straight to the place where the Grand Master chair was, and I heard him sit down, and then waited intently for the man to give the order for everyone to get up.

But he didn't, and when he sat down, he actually recited scriptures that people couldn't understand.

I think he must have done it on purpose, and he seemed to enjoy the feeling of being bowed down to very much.

It was a long and smelly passage that it took him a long time before he stopped, and after that I finally heard the words I wanted to hear the most: "Get up." ”

I heard someone in front of me shouting, "Thank you, sect leader!" The students present echoed again, some shouted "Thank you, Sect Master", some shouted "Long live Sect Master", and some shouted other things, but I didn't hear clearly.

I stood up with the other students and looked in the direction where the "Sect Master" was, only to find that the person sitting on the Grand Master's chair was wearing a mask, which was a pure black mask with no patterns on it, just a bare shell, with only four holes in the eyes and nostrils.

Although I haven't seen Zhao Dekai for many years, I still remember his general height and reminder that the person in front of me is not Zhao Dekai, he is much shorter than Zhao Dekai, and his body is thinner.

To be honest, if I hadn't just heard his voice like an adult, I might have mistaken him for a ten-year-old just by seeing his skinny figure.

I tried to sense it, and there was not the slightest trace of mental power left on this person's body, and the Qi field was no different from ordinary people.

He is not a person from the spiritual circle.

He raised his hand slightly and said to Wang Daogu, who was standing next to the chair, "Give holy water." ”

Wang Daogu bowed respectfully to him, and then walked briskly into the tunnel on the right with the class master, and came out with a porcelain bowl and a bucket.

The two of them held a bucket and a bowl, the class leader poured water into the bowl, while Wang Daogu handed the porcelain bowl to the students present, the water in the bowl, everyone had to drink it in one gulp, I found that many people would tremble in their shoulders and hands when they drank water.

At first, I thought there was something wrong with the water or the bowl, until Wang Daogu got closer to me, when she handed the bowl to a student, the student measured himself to take the bowl, I found that the student was already in tears, he took the bowl tremblingly, took the water in it in a mouthful, and returned the bowl to Wang Daogu with those trembling hands.

It's not that there is a problem with the water and the bowl, the reason why the person in front is trembling is entirely because of excessive excitement.

When Wang Daogu came to me with the bowl, I also made an extremely excited look, but I couldn't cry, so I could only keep sniffling, but fortunately, Wang Daogu seemed to be very impatient with the current link, she didn't pay attention to my expression at all, and kept staring at the bowl in my hand.

When I finished drinking the water and returned the bowl to Wang Daogu, she sighed with relief.

The class master and Wang Daogu went to the tunnel again, and the "sect leader" raised his hand again and shouted: "Bless!" ”

After saying that, he got down from the Taishi chair, turned around and walked towards the tunnel facing the back of the chair, although he was not a person from the cultivation circle, his steps were light, and his arms were also very powerful, coupled with the feeling of long breath and full of qi when he shouted just now, I could conclude that he was a practitioner, and his kung fu was very deep.

Yi Qingping followed him and led the team into the tunnel, but after walking for a long time, I felt that something was wrong.

There must have been some incense powder sprinkled in the tunnel, and there was an aroma similar to that of flowers wafting in the air, but in this fragrance, there was a faint smell of rust, if I guessed correctly, it should be the smell of blood after it has dried up.

But it's unclear whether the gore came from humans or other animals.
