Picture 94: The human heart in the dark
"Hello~ Please give me a bowl of ravioli."
The little Taoist priest Shucheng walked into the breakfast shop, ordered a good meal very politely, and then found a table and sat down.
Since the last time he was fished out of the police station by Gu Changsheng, he has started to travel around, very leisurely.
Shu Cheng has been intelligent since he was a child, and he has read through the Taoist collection, and the complex truths in the book are easy to understand in his opinion. Wang Wudi praised him more than once for his outstanding understanding.
The little Taoist priest is also competitive, and he succeeded in feeling angry at the age of three, and the Taoist asserts that he has a bright future.
What can surprise others is that it was not until he was fourteen years old that he was able to build a foundation and cultivate to the bottom among the proud sons of heaven in Yuqing Palace.
But Shucheng is not in a hurry, he either reads or sleeps every day, and five or six years have passed, and the Jindan Realm is still far away.
Every time an acquaintance jokingly asked him: "Shucheng, when are you Jindan?" ”
The little Taoist priest is always not in a hurry or impatient, and he gently bows. "It's coming, it's coming."
In fact, this time it was not a decision made by the little Taoist on a whim.
There are clouds hidden in the road: "Read thousands of books, travel thousands of miles, take off the dust in your chest, and camp in the natural hills and ravines." ”
He has read enough books, and it's time to travel thousands of miles.
"The wontons are ready, be careful of scalding~" A kind voice interrupted Shu Cheng's thoughts.
Shu Cheng raised his eyes and saw that a grandmother with silver hair was looking at him happily.
"Thank you, Grandma~ Brother Changsheng Dao asked me to say hello to you personally." Shu Cheng smiled slightly and spoke.
Before, when playing mahjong with Gu Changsheng, he always mentioned a breakfast shop, saying that the wontons in this shop are thin and filling, and the soup is delicious, which is a must in Jiangcheng.
Yesterday, when Shucheng had breakfast, the wonton cooked by the store had a thick skin and little filling, and the soup also had a strange taste. He couldn't help but think of what Gu Changsheng had said.
Where the excitement arises, it comes. With a ticket, he went to Jiangcheng.
"Shengzi said that the friend who is coming today is you, then Grandma will get you an egg, wait a little bit."
Grandma was stunned for a moment, but after reacting, she smiled happily and got up to get tea eggs for Shucheng.
The little Taoist priest looked at Grandma's back and did not say politely.
After a while, Grandma walked back, put down the tea eggs, and chatted with Shucheng.
After chatting for a while, the topic was brought to Gu Changsheng by Grandma.
"How is Changsheng doing? He told me that he and Qing Huan were already Jindan monks. I believe in Qinghuan Jindan, but it's only been a long time since he started practicing, and the stinky boy is bragging. ”
Grandma's words were full of smiles and she continued.
"Does he feel that women are strong and men are weak and aggrieved, you persuade him for me, eat soft rice, it's not ashamed."
Shucheng's little Taoist priest's eyes lit up, and from Grandma's words, he seemed to hear something unusual.
But then again, it's no wonder that Grandma thinks Gu Changsheng is bragging. The top and bottom of the Yuqing Palace were not very able to understand Gu Changsheng's cultivation speed.
Brother Immortal Dao's cultivation speed is really outrageous......
"Uh...... Brother Immortal Dao didn't brag, he was already a Jindan monk now. The little Taoist priest replied in a serious tone.
Grandma opened her mouth wide, her eyes full of surprise.
After a moment, the reacting grandmother smiled even more happily.
"What about An An? I remember that the little girl is also very talented, how is it now? ”
……
The hand holding the chopsticks tightened, and the Dao heart, which had been calm for a long time, suddenly showed signs of cracking.
Shucheng Little Taoist suddenly felt that the wontons in the bowl didn't seem to be so fragrant.
He glanced at Grandma with a complicated look, and after being silent for a long time, he still spoke: "An An's cultivation talent is indeed very powerful, and in the entire kindergarten, he has the fastest cultivation progress. ”
"I knew that the little girl was smart!"
……
Shu Cheng almost didn't bite the chopsticks.
"Even if you say that the little girl will survive tomorrow and achieve the position of a human immortal, I think I can accept it. However, Grandma, you said that she is smart, which is a bit excessive. ”
Thinking of the desperate memories before, the little Taoist priest Shucheng took a deep breath and barely calmed down.
Secretly slandered in his heart, he used a lot of strength to swallow back the words he complained, and he felt a little uncomfortable.
Fortunately, the topic did not stay on An An for too long, and Grandma immediately asked about other miscellaneous things.
"In the Middle Ages, in an ancient castle, the new century is be-"
Just when Grandma and the little Taoist priest were chatting, the song that was playing in the store suddenly stopped.
Grandma checked the player to confirm that there was no problem, and said when she was born a little strangely, "There is a power outage?" ”
Frowning slightly, Grandma walked out of the store, and the little Taoist priest of Shucheng also followed.
The traffic light at the intersection has dimmed and the work has stopped, and it seems that there is indeed a power outage.
Without the guidance of the traffic lights, the road suddenly became chaotic and was blocked in a short time.
Grandma's phone rang, she looked down, and her expression instantly became very ugly.
"Grandma, what's wrong?" Shu Cheng asked out loud.
Knowing that Shu Cheng is also a member of the Yuqing Palace, strictly speaking, he is still his superior department.
So Grandma didn't hide it, but replied directly: "The substation in the city was attacked, and this power outage was man-made." ”
A hint of coldness flashed in her eyes, and Grandma continued: "In addition, the waterworks have also been attacked. For a short time, hydropower could not be restored. ”
Shu Cheng's brows also furrowed, and there was something thoughtful in his eyes.
Directly destroying basic living facilities by thunder means is already a means of war, and the other party is not good.
In fact, water and electricity cuts are not the main problem, and the most important thing to worry about is social order.
As night fell, the moon was completely obscured by the clouds.
Different from the lights of thousands of homes in the past, today's Jiangcheng is dark.
Along with the night, there are also evil thoughts in people's hearts.
"The fifth."
Grandma's face was ugly, she looked at the man lying on the ground, and kicked his dantian.
The man's breath suddenly withered. Turning her head to look at the people around her, Grandma let out a deep voice.
"In troubled times, use heavy codes, as mentioned above, you don't need to keep your hand this time, and you are allowed to kill when necessary."
After the revival of the aura, the number of practitioners surged, and after a few months, many of them had learned and even mastered some simple techniques.
Relying on his own cultivation to gain a little, he is more powerful than ordinary people, and he happened to encounter such a good opportunity.
In this dark night, the evil in the hearts of some people is infinitely magnified.
The man who was just abolished is already the fifth Grandma they caught tonight.
The little Taoist priest Shucheng followed behind Grandma, and his mood was also very complicated.
The crowd continued to walk forward, but their hearts were full of confusion.
How many places can they patrol such a big city?
Suddenly, Grandma stopped, her qi was running, and she was staring at the front.
"It's alert enough."
An eerie voice rang out.
A man and several strange beasts appeared in front of them.
