044: Second time
"Did you hear that? The people over there in Jiuhuan Village suddenly fell seriously ill! โ
"No, even the squire is sick...... Some people thought it was a plague, and they almost didn't get into trouble. โ
"Hey...... If you want me to say, it should be that the ancestors are annoyed and want to teach these unscrupulous descendants a lesson. You said this is good, the shrine was blown up into that virtue out of thin air, isn't this a ghost? โ
"Don't talk about this, it's only been two days since fifteen, is it appropriate to gossip about others? It's better to hurry up and get to work. โ
"Hey, you're working in the field this sun? I'm not going, I'll talk about it later......"
In the village of Lower Wuyuan, it was about one o'clock in the afternoon.
The sun is scorching, and the tornado is hot. The cracked dirt road was blown up with sand and dust, and it hurt like iron sand on people.
Rao is an iron-clad man, and he can't withstand this battle.
So in the shaded shed, all the peasant families were resting for a while. Just wait for the day to go down, and then go to work in the field.
At this moment, I saw that in that corner, Gu Changsheng was silently nibbling on the dry cake in his hand.
He heard the villagers not far away, and although his mind was slightly moving, there was no sign of speaking.
With the salt and dried vegetable soup that had been brewed, he swallowed the stiff cake three times and divided it by two, and stood up eagerly.
"Uncle Huang! I've already moved all the fat I want to lay down, so I'll go back first, if there's nothing to do? โ
These rough men were sighing and enjoying the cold, and when they heard this, they were all slightly surprised. One of them was so frightened that he even smashed the soup bowl back on the wooden table.
"What? You've moved all of them? โ
Facing everyone's gaze, Gu Changsheng wiped the corners of his mouth and nodded profusely in sweat.
"It's all out there."
The nearby man pushed open the drooping wooden door, and the villagers turned their heads one after another, and saw more than a dozen barrels of muddy things being placed outside.
The things were in the shade, and there were large green-headed flies floating above them, swirling and buzzing.
There are many kinds of fertilizers for farmers, but what Gu Changsheng picked up today is simple.
The urine was filled with four buckets, and it had been saved for more than half a month, and it was already yellow and white.
The was packed in eight buckets, mixed with plant ash, and stirred into shape for later use.
It was July, and once this already smelly and unpleasant thing was brewing, it was even more top-heavy. It's just that these farmers live with loess day and night, and they have long been accustomed to it.
Uncle Huang, the leader, was smoking a dry tobacco bag, with a slim figure and a dark face. He got up again and again, smiled at Gu Changsheng and nodded.
โๅนฒๅฎไบๅฐฑ่ก๏ผๆไบๅฐฑๅ ๅๅปๅงใ Hehe...... Good boy, if you don't pay attention to your strength, you will be good? Don't forget to change your clothes when you get back. โ
Although the people of the farmer's house smell a lot, they are used to it. But Gu Changsheng's clothes were pickled by the smell, and he walked outside...... Left and right are easy to be laughed at, too.
Gu Changsheng smiled and nodded, turned around and hurriedly left. The villagers watched Gu Changsheng walk away, and then sighed for a while.
"Gu boy's strength is okay! A bucket of urine is sixty pounds away, and he can carry two buckets back and forth in one breath. I remember he didn't have that much strength before, huh? โ
"Can you do it, old man?"
"Hah, it's okay to walk for a while. But if I were to pick it up from the latrine, I wouldn't be able to eat it~"
"Hey, are you embarrassed to compare yourself with the juniors? Don't be ashamed? โ
"Then my kid don't talk about this pile, let him pick two buckets of ash and dry his throat."
These people talked and laughed, and Uncle Huang, who was in the lead, also pulled the corners of his mouth. He pouted, smoked a dry cigarette, and finally opened his mouth to ask.
"After work later, Lao Liu asked your son to come to my place, take four catties of rough noodles, and send them to Gu Xiaozi...... Hey, it is said that half the size of the boy eats Lao Tzu, this stinky boy has a lot of strength, and he can't be vague about what he eats. โ
"Old Huang, where are you from? Can we do without the Gu family? You came out last month, and it's our turn this month! โ
"Such a capable young man, everyone think about it, how can there be a girl or something...... Arrange it for Gu Xiaozi. โ
"Shhh...... There seems to be a school-age student in the next village. It is said that she is the third daughter in the family, who can eat and work, and is a good hand at raising pigs. โ
"Hey, I know! My uncle has worked over there and knows a lot of people, so he should be able to say a few words. โ
"Okay, I'll see a play!"
These men facing the loess with their backs to the sky are talking and laughing. And the sound in this hot, fishy, fly-ridden pergola did not reach Gu Changsheng's ears.
He went straight back to the house, took a shower, changed into clean clothes, and then returned to his own room.
Gu Changsheng had just sat down and was about to do something, but his stomach began to rumble againโthis made his expression slightly bitter, and he finally had to get up and go to the stove......
Give yourself something to eat first.
"No, this appetite is much better......"
Whispering, Gu Changsheng steamed a few more rough flour cakes for himself.
In fact, after Gu Changsheng became a 'waiter', his appetite was also growing day by day. At the moment, it seems that he can eat three of his peers alone.
This is obviously not normal.
"It seems that the consumption of low-level monks has also become a bit exaggerated after gaining the increase in physical strength."
As much strength as you have, you have to eat as much as you eat. Throughout the ages, it has been said that the poor are rich and martial, and in a sense, this is also the situation that Gu Changsheng needs to face.
Fortunately......
He doesn't have any special interests in nutrition.
Dried vegetables sprinkled with salt to cook soup, and dry and chewy rough noodles steamed buns were enough for Gu Changsheng.
"If you can't afford meat, eggs and milk, you can only fill up ...... carbs"
Under the stove, dry wood crackled.
The fire is vigorous, and the water vapor is boiling.
Watching the food gradually softened and cooked thoroughly, Gu Changsheng's mind also drifted to other things.
It has been two days since the 'troupe' left. Gu Changsheng was originally worried that Master Yin would continue to be a demon, so he stayed up until midnight in fear......
The predictable tragedy did not happen.
The villagers rested in their houses peacefully, and there were no living dead at the entrance of the village, and there was no red blood moon above their heads.
Seem......
Everything has already been rewritten?
Gu Changsheng, who was a little suspicious, didn't dare to let go immediately, he took advantage of the middle of the night to deliberately put on the Buddha beads, and walked around the village again.
After such a toss, Gu Changsheng was stunned to stay up until the sky was dark. When the melodious rooster crow came, Gu Changsheng's hanging heart finally let go.
He understood that the tiger skin at the head of the village of Xia Wuyuan had already left.
That means ......
"Master Yin's plan has failed?"
Thinking back to the early morning day he saw two days ago, even at this moment, Gu Changsheng was still excited in his heart.
Because this represents an indisputable fact.
"Everything I see in the nightmare space can be changed through hard work."
By twisting, and then striking the anchor points one by one.
Gu Changsheng really changed the future where the Yin Lord destroyed everything!
He watched the milky white mist rising from the stove, and fiddled thoughtfully with the soup bowl in his hand.
"At the same time, this means two very important pieces of information."
"First, the information obtained in the nightmare space is accurate and valid, and it can be trusted 100 percent."
Second, through this experience, we can understand ...... It is true that the future is not the result of being crucified. Because of my involvement, this direction will be distorted and even changed drastically. โ
In other words.
"I can also take these 'future' visions ...... It's like a parallel world. โ
The so-called parallel world means that at a certain stage, a certain character has two 'branches' that begin to develop in different directions because of different actions and different results.
A simple example.
It's like the future that Gu Changsheng has seen several times.
If he hadn't participated in the trouble, and finally involved the cabinet guy and his party...... Up to now, whether it is Xiawuyuan Village or Jiuhuan Village, it is now a dead silence.
And after Gu Changsheng participated, they intersected and overlapped for various reasons, and finally achieved the result of the disappearance of this Yin Master.
From the current point of view, Gu Changsheng has indeed succeeded.
Can be relatively ......
But he didn't relax in the slightest.
Because Gu Changsheng understands that the changes he is making are ...... overall It's just a drop in the ocean.
Perhaps the real trouble is just beginning now.
"Because the ultimate mastermind behind the scenes, Master Yin is the focus. I'm just ruining the plan. โ
And that's exactly what happened.
Gu Changsheng had personally witnessed the 'two days later' of another direction, and in that timeline, Master Yin had completed all the arrangements and achieved the goal of promotion.
From the result to the upward trend, it is not difficult for Gu Changsheng to come to a conclusion.
"Master Yin's promotion conditions are complicated, maybe ...... It's cumbersome. It needs to involve all kinds of content, and the layout here should also be interlocking. โ
Otherwise, Master Yin would not have directly given up the layout of the entire plan because of a mistake in one link.
It was also taking advantage of this experience that Gu Changsheng also had a more accurate understanding of the concept of 'monk'.
"Below the third level, the monk is like a man. The concept of food, clothing, shelter and transportation gradually diminished, and inhuman characteristics began to appear......"
"Level 4 should be the dividing line between the human and the extraordinary."
"This level requires a certain amount of resources and some kind of ritual to achieve. This should explain the meaning of the organization......"
"The organization helps the individual to achieve a high position, and the individual feeds back to the organization and carries it forward."
The two complement each other, and that should be the point.
"Take the fourth level as the boundary, continue to climb upward, and the existence of the fifth level ...... This will require the diversion of more resources. โ
Gu Changsheng remembered the scene he had seen before, and he muttered involuntarily with a thought in his heart.
"It needs to kill several villages, and it needs some kind of special means to help it...... It can only be promoted after completing this complex procedure. โ
Fourth-level beings have already regarded mortals as ants.
That continues to climb up, the so-called fifth-level monk......
What kind of existence should it be?
Thinking of this, Gu Changsheng couldn't help but tremble for a while. As soon as he thought that he would be remembered by the Yin old man who was not a person and a ghost, he felt a slight chill in his heart.
"It shouldn't be, the story lines in the parallel world are not connected to each other, and Master Yin shouldn't see me as a thorn in his side."
After all, if you really think about it, it was the pavilion guy who split the tiger skin two days ago.
I'm a little minion at best.
Speaking of this matter, Gu Changsheng couldn't help but recall what the pavilion guy had said to him before.
- Now that the tiger's skin is exposed in the gates of hell, the plan will definitely be changed.
"The Cabinet Guy's methods for the Hell Gate are also clear...... This may also mean that the special feature of Vientiane Gate is the acquisition of intelligence? โ
Because Gu Changsheng also remembered another sentence that the pavilion guy said.
In today's world, there is no trace of the lineage of other Buddhist sects. If he, Gu Changsheng, wanted to continue to improve, then he would inevitably have to make contact with the Vientiane Gate.
Thinking of this, a very straightforward question also appeared in front of Gu Changsheng.
"I should have made a choice......"
It is to continue to explore the surrounding area step by step through his own way, and then search for the traces of the Yin Master.
Or join the Vientiane Gate, become a force in Orange Island, and continue to explore by borrowing the resources of the Vientiane Gate.
Both choices have their own special features, and being placed in front of Gu Changsheng at the moment really makes him a little embarrassed.
Without a doubt, exploring on your own is the safest way to do it.
With Gu Changsheng's own rational analysis, he could use his time to accumulate an information base. As long as he took one step at a time, he would be able to find out more information sooner or later.
Comparatively speaking, there are also many benefits to joining Vientiane Gate.
Among them, the most intuitive is that Gu Changsheng can directly obtain all the information of the current 'situation'.
He could know a lot of information about the sect, which would undoubtedly save him a lot of time to explore.
ๅฝ็ถโฆโฆ
"There are risks, too."
Joining an organization means taking sides.
Gu Changsheng didn't think that 'Vientiane Gate' would be a charity organization that was easy to talk about. It is almost impossible to imagine that as long as he joins this organization, Gu Changsheng's ability to move freely will be greatly reduced.
"In other words, am I exchanging time for information, or am I exchanging freedom for time......"
Gu Changsheng was silent for a while.
But there was a sudden rumbling in my stomach.
"Hmm...... Let's eat first. โ
Gu Changsheng silently opened the wooden lid on the stove, and a stream of hot air slapped on his face. He swallowed and tried to remove the brown cake with a spatula.
His heart didn't have time, and he suddenly trembled.
A very familiar touch surged from his heart, making Gu Changsheng's slightly relaxed expression suddenly condense. He looked up quickly, a look of surprise in his eyes.
"This ...... So at a time like this?! โ
The flow of time begins to slow until it solidifies.
In this discolored space, Gu Changsheng's thoughts began to sink and lose his mind. He didn't have time to think and quickly ......
He was completely unconscious.
โฆโฆ
Drip, drip, drip.
The cold, finely crushed liquid slid down on his face in an orderly manner, causing Gu Changsheng's consciousness to wake up quickly.
I saw that he opened his eyes suddenly, his mouth opened, and the whole thing jumped up from the ground!
Gu Changsheng quickly looked at the situation around him, his eyes full of astonishment.
"I ......"
"I'm in again?"
