Chapter 577: Silent
The dawn is coming.
In the distance, blurred white lines loomed in the sky.
Jiang Yan woke up from a deep sleep, opened his eyes, he didn't choose to alarm Lu Lu, got up and dressed alone, came to the courtyard without making any sound, and walked to the front of the gate.
Click!
When you get here, you can easily hear the sound of chaotic footsteps, heavy breathing coming from outside the door, and it continues.
Jiang Yan looked up at the sky and saw that the day had not really come, and there was a round of white moon hanging high in the sky, staring at the world.
"So many people ...... so early"
"Could it be that something important is happening nearby?"
With a leap, Jiang Yan came to the edge of the wall and stood firmly, he raised his head slightly, looked around, and his expression couldn't help but be stunned.
On Xianhua Street, there was a large group of ordinary civilians with different clothes, heights, ages, and genders, and these people gathered into a large and bloated procession, passing by here neither fast nor slow.
Although these people are different, their expressions are very consistent, their expressions are fanatical, and their eyes are abnormally bright.
"White bones come into the world and purify all beings. ”
"White bones come into the world and purify all beings. ”
"White bones come into the world and purify all beings. ”
Over and over again, over and over again, these people kept chanting this sentence, walking past Jiang Yan in order, rushing in some direction that did not know the purpose.
"Missionary?"
Somehow, Jiang Yan suddenly recalled the man who was on the street and openly preached to him, but was directly killed by Sergeant Yehuai.
"The White Bone Descends...... White Bone Bodhisattva?"
Connecting the two, Jiang Yan's expression couldn't help but be silent, he turned his head slightly, looked into the distance, and saw that this team spread extremely long, and it was difficult to discern the end, and he didn't know how many people there were.
After a while, he sighed and said to himself:
"The power of the Yehuai official family has weakened. ”
This so-called "white bone" church, even if you don't have in-depth contact and don't really understand it, you can immediately detect that this is definitely not a good sect, according to the previous official style, this kind of force is just a bud, it will be snuffed out, and it will not be allowed to really grow.
"It seems that after the Shendu disappeared inexplicably, it still had an impact on the states of Dayan, and the most critical point was that there was no central dynasty, and the states and counties were almost independent, and the interaction between the strong was no longer frequent.
"Without the support of the upper echelons, just a small number of strong people are sent to help, and the local official forces will consume a lot of resources just to deal with strange events, and they will not be able to fully control the details of the entire region. ”
Jumping from the wall, Jiang Yan closed his eyes, took a silent breath, and directly made the next decision:
Move out of here for a while and find a safer place to live.
If you can see this "White Bone" Church today, you may see other forces tomorrow, and under this, there are many similar hidden forces developing, all in all, Jiang Yan feels that the neighborhood has become no longer safe.
Moreover, yesterday he also killed a Jindan warrior with an unknown follower, although he left no trace, it was difficult to guarantee that the forces or people behind the other party could find him through a way he didn't understand.
"If I am alone, it will be okay to be found in the door, and if I can't beat it, I will have a chance to escape, but it is difficult for Lu Lu to resist such an impact. ”
With such a thought, Jiang Yan immediately turned around, quietly walked away from the courtyard gate, and approached the inner courtyard step by step, it was still early, and he could sleep for a while.
"Well, there are two suitable places to live temporarily, one is Lan Xin, she is the daughter of the Lan family, and she is a good friend of Lu Lu.
"The second one is naturally the Baiyang School, where Ouyang Xiuya lives, the school also has many masters, even if some evil forces are crazy, they will not come here to make trouble, that is looking for death. ”
At this time, Jiang Yan suddenly remembered a certain question, and couldn't help but stop moving:
However, whether it is Lan Xin or Ouyang Xiuya, they are both women, and it doesn't seem appropriate to really go to borrow a residence.
"At least I'm not suitable, I'm a man. ”
He touched his nose and said in an inexplicable tone:
"That's it, I don't care personally, it's good to take care of Lu Lu. ”
Thinking about this matter clearly, Jiang Yan continued to walk towards the inner courtyard, but after a few steps, he suddenly turned around, walked to the gate again, and came to the nearest place, he did not hesitate, directly pulled the bolt of the door and opened the door.
In the creaking sound, the dark wooden door opened, and a man who was bending his arms and knocking on the door met Jiang Yan's eyes:
The man was dressed in a black-gray shirt with two visible holes, a pair of pants of a different color but equally shabby, and a pair of oil-stained, mud-stained cloth shoes underneath.
Behind him, there were two more people, a short, rough-skinned woman and a thin child in her arms.
What they all have in common is:
Clothes are messy and hair is greasy.
Jiang Yan retracted his gaze, refocused on the man, and said calmly:
"What's the matter?"
"Your Excellency. The man, whose face was so dark that he couldn't show his true face, didn't look ashamed of himself because of his dress, he raised his eyes to meet Jiang Yan's gaze, his expression was fanatical, and his voice was high-pitched:
"Your Excellency, do you believe that there is a god in the world?"
This...... This sounds familiar, and it's missionary, and you probably don't know that one of your predecessors was killed by the Night Locust Army the day before yesterday...... Jiang Yan's thoughts turned around, and then he was no longer interested in this topic.
He didn't answer the desire to close the door and return.
At this moment, the woman behind the man frowned, and at the same time, a cry that was not too loud echoed around.
"Daddy, the dog is hungry. ”
"Huh?" The man was stunned for a moment when he heard this answer, he first glanced at Jiang Yan, and then turned his head to look at the doll in the woman's arms, his eyes were no longer as before, and he was worried.
Without hesitation, the man immediately gave up "preaching":
"Let's go, let's eat. ”
"Wait a minute. ”
A voice stopped the man, and he turned around and looked at the young man who seemed to be much taller than himself because he was standing on the top of the stone steps, and his eyes were puzzled:
"Young man, if you want to hear the legends of God, the deeds of God, don't leave, I will come to you. ”
The gods of shit...... Jiang Yan's gaze swept around the child with a weak cry and a squirming throat, and casually threw a silver coin at the man:
"If you plan to spread faith to me, the next time I see you, I will directly beat you and your family of three, and no one will let go. ”
"Thank you, thank you. The man took the money, Huo Ran reacted, and pulled the woman to thank her.
"Live your life well, don't be foolish. Jiang Yan didn't care about the other party's thanks, and said coldly:
"You are a citizen of Yehuai City, even if life is difficult, but you won't understand basic common sense, how can you ...... like this"
He paused for a moment, as if to organize his words.
"Your Excellency. At this time, the short woman with the child in her arms spoke, she lowered her head, didn't look at Jiang Yan, only a slightly thin voice:
"If you believe in the White Bone Bodhisattva, someone will stutter. ”
After hearing only this sentence, Jiang Yan's gaze suddenly froze, and the whole person suddenly returned to the days when the Dahegang mining area was in the mining area, the days when he was injured by fatigue, disease, and harsh environment.
After ten breaths, he took a silent breath, and his voice became low:
"Then why did you choose to mission?"
The woman replied:
"If there is not one more person to join, there will be double the share of food. ”
