Book 2: The Journey of the Dead One Hundred and Forty-Five: The True God

"Click...... Whoa......"

In the dark dungeon, the only window for food was opened, and an iron basket full of food was slowly lowered from above. The swaying light and shadow shined clearly along the window, like a creeper growing on the ground, twitching and growing little by little.

Luo Yuan was holding an iron pickaxe, and he had carved the patterns of those curves on the wall. Ever since his last failed prison break, he'd tried to do something else with the pickaxe, such as trying to challenge himself to see if he could paint a complete picture in the darkness with his sense of touch alone.

But since it was pitch black and there was no vision, he couldn't verify by himself whether the painting was a painting that could be seen, so now he was just doing everything, and he couldn't look at it at all.

Hearing that the rice was put down, Luo Yuan threw the iron pickaxe casually and hurried to the rice basket. Today's deliveries were the same as in the past, japonica rice with boiled tofu, a bowl of soup with a few vegetable leaves floating on top, and a whole jar full of water.

The food in the prison will be like this, it will not humiliate you with that kind of food that is hard to swallow, but it will not let you eat well. Coarse tea and light rice satisfy your fullness and not be particularly full, and maintain your heart that longs to go out and is not completely desperate to seek death, which is regarded as continuing to play with you.

But Luo Yuan came to this point, he was already a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water, and he was not polite at the moment, he didn't have any tableware to grab it completely with his hands, he devoured it in a big gulp, and wiped everything in the bowl with three times and five divided by two, as if he was not eating prison food, but a gluttonous meal in the drunken fairy restaurant.

After eating, Luo Yuan sat on the ground and burped with satisfaction, full of enjoyment.

The feeling of being trapped and full is also a rare body odor, because it is one of the few moments that can make you realize that you are alive and different from a walking corpse.

Picking up the jug next to it, I poured a few sips of "Gu Dong Gu Dong", and felt the cool and refreshing water.

When they saw him finish eating, they took back the basket.

Luo Yuan took advantage of this opportunity and shouted at the person delivering the meal at the window above: "It's you again today, thank you!" ”

The food delivery man waved his hand at him and motioned to leave. In fact, the food delivery man was both deaf and mute, and he didn't know what he was talking about. But he just knew that Luo Yuan was shouting at him inside.

The small window closed again, and the only light that came in was completely extinguished.

There was silence all around. Luo Yuan was silent, suddenly picked up the note in his hand, opened the fire fold from the side, and looked at the contents on it by the firelight.

The fire fold was exchanged for the ability of "saving and taking the whole thing", and the note was secretly hidden under the rice bowl when the meal was just delivered.

……

In all directions, watching Qiu Shaohu suddenly appear from the sky, the people around him were surprised and began to whisper.

But immediately, the group of flying birds attracted by Qiu Shaohu lost the leader of Gu Shouniao, and began to scatter, constantly attacking the people around them. The panic is constantly being transmitted along the side.

Qiu Shaohu frowned, the current situation was unconscious, but it was really getting more and more chaotic.

Just as he was trying to figure out how to deal with it, a burst of neat footsteps came one after another, "Knock down these monsters for me!" The official finally arrived at this time, holding all kinds of guys in his hands, and began to join the siege of these monsters in the confusion. Although the chaos has increased for the time being, the situation has been stabilized in the end.

Qiu Shaohu thought to himself that the government had finally come, and these officials should only be the first wave, and the rest would come to an end after a while. It would be bad if you were to be interrogated by those sergeants, so it would be better to retreat first.

While thinking like this, Qiu Shaohu hurriedly put away the guys in his hands, such as long knives and pear flower guns, looked at the route, found out where he had just come, and left here as if he was flying.

"Ahh......h

β€œβ€¦β€¦ We're not in a race! Qiu Shaohu said in his heart that such a big child is really troublesome.

Along the way, seeing that there were more and more officials, and even cavalry troops appeared, and the city's appearance was gradually rectified from the chaos, Qiu Shaohu knew that this monster rebellion had finally come to an end. But I don't know, why are they suddenly messed up again? Who is behind these monsters? What is it all for?

In contemplation, he had already arrived at the room where he had been with Wei Shuo before. Seeing that Na Langzhong was standing at the door with Shen Xinfu in his arms, there was a couple waiting next to him.

The woman was originally worried, but when she saw Qiu Shaohu running over, she was refreshed, and before Qiu Shaohu stepped forward, she couldn't wait to run over, took the baby in Qiu Shaohu's arms, hugged and kissed the baby, and said something in her mouth, "My baby, you scared your mother to death, mother is here, don't panic, don't panic......"

"Whoa...... the baby was a little resistant, probably unable to stand his mother's kiss, and clapped his hands in defiance whenever the lady brought her face close to him.

"Thank you for this chivalrous man, thank you for saving my son." The other man had palpitations in his heart, and at the same time walked over and saluted repeatedly, and said: "In Xia Yanghai, find an errand in the East Palace, if the knight has a place to find me in the future, even if he comes to find it, for the sake of today's situation, I will definitely not refuse." ”

"I'm just doing it casually, Lord Yang is polite." Qiu Shaohu said in a proper manner. But I didn't expect that this Yang Hai was actually the prince's family order, as the person next to the prince, the power may not be great, but the benefits are far beyond imagination.

"Where, where, I'm just a person listening to the shouts by the prince's side, the word 'adult' is too serious." Yang Hai said modestly.

The two of them looked at each other like this, and I didn't say much.

Qiu Shaohu suddenly saw that Shen Xinfu made a look over there, as if signaling him to go over.

After talking to Yang Hai here, Qiu Shaohu went directly to Wei Shuo and the others, and saw that the couple was holding the child and had left here in a hurry. I thought to myself, maybe for ordinary people, that kind of life is already unattainable and stable. can find an errand, become a family, and have a flesh and blood of his own......

"The Yang family and his wife are also my patients, and I met them on a visit today, and by the way, I took a look at the condition of their newborn son...... How to say, the little guy is so energetic. However, we ran into those monsters halfway through, and Xiaofu and I got separated from them with the children, but luckily they were both safe and sound. Wei Shuo said, glanced at Qiu Shaohu, and said, "But just now, Xiaofu saw this kind of thing, and she and I don't recognize it, but I think you should be more knowledgeable than the two of us, so I just thought about it, and I will show it to you." ”

Wei Shuo said this, and Shen Xinfu handed an object to Qiu Shaohu, of course, he didn't forget to return the goose wing knife to him before.

Qiu Shaohu took it and saw that it was a ribbon-like thing, which was originally supposed to be wrapped around something, and it was full of a strange pattern. The front is unremarkable, but on the back there are four words - "The One True God".

"What is this?" Qiu Shaohu vaguely guessed.

"It was originally tied to that monster." Shen Xinfu said: "Do you know what this is? ”

……

"In the edict, a group of people have been sent in recently, and there are some strange guys."

Luo Yuanshen looked at the note and said to himself - there is no one else to talk to him here, except for Qiu Shaohu last time, if he wants to speak, he can only talk to himself, otherwise he will be suffocated.

"And there are quite a few of them, suspected to be believers in the Shinchi Sect. Hmm, this group of crazy people who believe in the only true God are also imprisoned? This is a rarity. What did the edict do when they came inβ€”well, I forgot, but it wasn't really useful for the edict to take me in. ”

Luo Yuan said as if laughing at himself.

……

"The One True God? This is something that Maike teaches. Qiu Shaohu was a little incredulous.

"Maike Sect?" Wei Shuo also changed his previous calmness, and his face changed a little, "It's actually them?" ”

Of course, Qiu Shaohu can be sure that this is definitely the handiwork of the Zhenchi Sect. There are thousands of beliefs in the world, and there are people who believe in any kind of god. Both good and evil gods are worshipped, and it is not an exaggeration to say that there are all kinds of Taoist deities, city gods or Buddhas.

But there is only one faith, which only recognizes one's own god as the only truth, and does not recognize any other god to worship. Moreover, they do not leave portraits or statues of gods, but only use the words "one true god" as a unique object of worship, and use this simple and even crude belief to build their unique bond - this is the Zhenchi Sect, which is also one of the Three Spiritual Sects.

Unexpectedly, the front foot had just seen the resting place and the Zhenkang Shrine in Chaomen Port, and the back foot met the Zhenchi Sect in the capital.

It is reasonable to say that the capital is a large place and there are many and mixed people, so everything can be encountered, let alone one of the Three Spirit Sects will develop believers here.

But from the very beginning, Qiu Shaohu was in distress more than once. Whether it is stealing scholars' question books and test papers, or manipulating monsters to make trouble everywhere, or selling beggars to find out information for them, or stealing corpses to refine gunpowder materials, a series of things come together, vaguely revealing the conspiracy of this group of people.

If you dig deeper, I'm afraid you won't shudder.

The haze on the horizon has dissipated a little at this time.

Daylight shines on the earth again, and everything is warm again.

The eclipse, before you know it, has passed.

……

"How long will this eclipse take?"

"I don't know, I don't seem to have seen the forecast of a solar eclipse yesterday."

"At this time, I'm really panicking."

"Yes, so many scholars are taking the exam here today, it should be a good day and an auspicious day, but we are still ...... it."

"But with the Taishi in charge, it shouldn't matter."

"Yes, not only are you the imperial masters, you see, the scholars of the Ministry of Rites, the servants of the Ministry of Households, and they are not all here."

Outside the examination room, many people are still talking.
