Chapter Eighty-Seven: Shi Shan's Enlightenment

"Crazy, all crazy, the dead are raised, the living eat people...... Either you're crazy or I'm crazy......"

Finally, someone collapsed, and everyone present fell silent one by one, with their heads bowed and not knowing what they were thinking.

Afterwards, the people in the town did not know what happened in the church that day, only that a group of people went up the mountain to treat the epidemic, and after coming down the mountain, one went crazy and died, and in order to prevent the spread of the epidemic, the corpses were burned on the spot and only the ashes were brought back.

Since then, the plague in the town has indeed disappeared, and in its place the legend of Xu Funeng helping people come back from the dead. There are those who disdain the legends, there are those who are curious to go up the mountain to find out, and there are those who really hold the dead horse as a live horse doctor to find Xu Fu, but these people are the same as those who have gone up the mountain after they come back. At the same time, Xu Fu's reputation among the townspeople is getting higher and higher, and there are even some legends about him.

Later, more than ten years later, Xu Fu left. When he left, he still looked like he was in his twenties, or even younger, with no wrinkles at the corners of his eyes and not a single gray hair. It's just that he's more aloof than before. Xiao Shi took over from him in charge of the church, and continued to volunteer as a doctor and teach some children to read and write.

Hu Yongsheng told Lin Fan the story of what happened in Pingshan Town as if he was narrating the history of Pingshan Town, but what he knew was relayed from the mouth of that madman like the other townspeople, and the truth of the epidemic is still a mystery to this day. If he hadn't seen those walking corpses with his own eyes today, he would have thought that this was just a legend, which couldn't help but make him re-examine the story of Pingshan Town.

"Lord Lin, the Holy Spring Sect has arrived, and it is in front." Hu Yongsheng pointed to the rather modern church in the distance.

I saw a typical Western-style church sitting on a vacant lot, with an area of about one or two acres of land, and the church has everything, including a chapel, a dormitory, and even a cemetery.

It's not that Lin Fan hasn't seen a church, it's just that he didn't expect that there would be such a modern and large-scale church in a small town in Huaxia, and this church is still out of the jurisdiction of the Western Holy Light Sect, he is really curious about how those hypocrites will react when they find out.

He asked curiously, "Is the priest in the church the same little stone back then?" ”

"Lord Lin doesn't know, the little stone back then is already an old man this year, and now it is her daughter Shi Shan who is in charge of taking care of the church, which is a little stone~hahaha~"

Lin Fan raised his eyebrows, it was the first time he had seen a goddess father, and it was estimated that there was only one in the world, after all, in the West, women can only be nuns, and in the end, they are great nuns, and it is impossible to be a priest.

As soon as he walked to the door, Lin Fan heard the sound of Lang Lang reading in the building on the left, reading not Western things, but ancient Chinese poems.

He couldn't help but look in through the window and found a young female teacher reading from the podium, and the students sitting below seemed to be of all ages.

"This is the welfare home of the Church, and during the previous priest's tenure they kept taking in orphans and abandoned babies in Pingshan Town and the surrounding areas, and they raised them and taught them to read and write."

Lin Fan nodded thoughtfully, and continued to walk forward under the leadership of Hu Yongsheng, and found that a hundred-square-meter room was arranged to look like an activity room, and many old people were enjoying themselves in it, some playing chess, some playing cards, and some singing and playing erhu.

Finally, the two walked into the main building, and because Hu Yongsheng explained his intention to Shi Shan in advance, Shi Shan was waiting here early in the morning.

Originally, Lin Fan would have thought that the other party would be wearing a priest's uniform similar to that of the Holy Light Sect, but he didn't expect the dignified priest to come out wearing a suspender, and this eclectic temperament made another person pop up in Lin Fan's mind in an instant-Tang Lin.

However, this impression was shattered the moment Shi Shan spoke, after all, Tang Lin was not so polite and polite.

"You are Lord Lin Fan? I heard Uncle Hu say that you are interested in our church, what do you want to know? ”

The woman looks about the same age as Lin Shishi, but the styles of the two are diametrically opposed, one is mature and introverted, the other is mature and sunny.

Looking at the girl in front of him, Lin Fan felt that he had seen the incarnation of the sun in the world, and as soon as he heard her speak, he felt that his heart was also warm.

He said straight to the point: "How much do you know about the dungeon of the church on the mountain? ”

The girl's smile froze suddenly, but it was different from the feeling that the conspiracy was seen through, but there was a kind of worry and fear.

She pulled the hair from her ears and sat on a chair next to her and said, "When my grandfather was a priest, he found a secret door in the chapel, and Sect Master Xu didn't tell him about it before he left, so he thought it was an abandoned warehouse of the church or something, so he opened the secret door. ”

Hu Yongsheng didn't expect the dungeon to be really related to the church, and asked curiously, "And then?" What's in there? ”

Shi Shan shook his head, and then said: "My grandfather didn't say what he saw and heard after opening the door, but he just had the secret door completely welded to death. ”

"Looks like your grandfather saw those things."

"What's that? Could it be that the legend is true? Shi Shan looked at Lin Fan with wide eyes and asked.

Hu Yongsheng replied for Lin Fan as if deflated: "It's a walking corpse." The legend is true, there really are monsters that come back from the dead. ”

He found that the image of the church before Wei Guangzheng was shattered in his heart, and he didn't expect that the church, which had helped the townspeople for more than a hundred years, was actually the culprit behind the creation of the walking corpse monster.

Also breaking the defense is Shi Shan, who is the granddaughter of the previous priest, and her grandfather is a party to the incident back then, even if he keeps it secret from his family, some clues can still be detected.

It's just that she doesn't believe in her bones, she doesn't believe that Father Xu in her grandfather's mouth would do such a thing, and she doesn't want the good church to become a sinner in Pingshan Town.

Thinking of this, her gaze looked at Lin Fan with great perseverance and pleaded, "Lord Lin! Allow me to participate in the survey! ”

Lin Fan was quite surprised by her decision, he thought about it differently, if he was Shi Shan, he might be very confused by now, and he should think more about maintaining the image of the church in Pingshan Town. After all, if the truth is not in favor of the church, it is tantamount to burying one's own faith with one's own hands. This level of blow can even make people suffer from mental terminal illness and will not be able to get out of it for the rest of their lives.

"Have you figured it out?" Lin Fan asked with a serious face.

"After thinking clearly, what Grandpa saw may not be the truth, he has escaped all his life, but I can see the desire for the truth in his heart. So I can't run away anymore! ”
