【Ding! Congratulations on clearing the quest "Strange Tales of the Paradise: Nine Dragons", the newcomer will unlock and enjoy the skill card package, and your current paradise coins are ranked third, and you are eligible to sign a ......]

Seeing Zhang Wen disappear, Fang Shu's body leaned back and quietly glanced at Yan Lan.

The latter seemed to notice something, and turned around and logged out of the game directly.

【Ding! Congratulations on clearing the quest "Strange Tales of the Paradise: Nine Dragons Festival", the newcomer will unlock the skill card package, and your current paradise coins are ranked second, and you are eligible to sign a contract......]

"Are they all newcomer announcements?"

Yan Lan picked up the thermos cup placed in a safe place, feeling a little tired: "This audition is really lively. ”

I thought that when I came back this time, I would meet people in the circle later.

I really didn't expect to enter this dog game, and in the first game, I met the descendants of the Illusion Gate, the official spy, and a doctor who didn't know the details......

That's really enough to memorize.

"This place has nothing to do with the cultivation world," Yan Lan pressed her eyebrows with her hand, thinking in her mind, "The reasons for the invitation that the system said before can't be believed in a word, but this is true or false, and it's too difficult for me to be mentally ill, and I have a problem with my brain." ”

Never mind.

Take things as they come.

"Since you can get the qualification to sign the contract, then you still have to go back and look for it," Yan Lan looked at the surface of the water and muttered worriedly, "But the diving suit is broken, and it's not ...... to go down."

"Poof." The water splashed and the arowana with a fishing net in its mouth emerged from the water.

"Yo," Yan Lan was slightly surprised, "why did you come back?" ”

The arowana rolled his eyes, threw the net to the shore, and spat out the net in disgust:

"Look at you pitiful, just be kind."

In the fishing net, it was the bone axe that Yan Lan wanted to get back.

"I will not eat and drink for nothing, nor will I live with you for nothing."

The Arowana puffed out its gills, cocked its tail and pushed the bone axe towards Yan Lan, "This is a down payment." ”

Yan Lan felt funny: "Okay." ”

She doesn't lose anything.

Arowana breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and snorted, "If you want to find me as an employee, what do I need to do?" ”

"I'll talk about the employee's business later, it's about looking at the water line of the pipeline," Yan Lan took out a bone axe and checked it, "Water Lord Cai, you are a koi again, it is very suitable." ”

Anyway, the Taoist temple has not yet been settled.

"The most important thing for you now is to cultivate and strip away the pollution caused by forced sacrifices."

"Remember, it's stripping, not purifying – I need those contaminated pieces. ”

Arowana patted the water, his eyes hesitant:

"You're not going to ...... Will you find the soul of the sacrificed person in the debris of pollution? ”

Yan Lan nodded.

"It can't be!" Arowana was shocked.

"I haven't tried it, how do you know it's impossible?"

Yan Lan's body was sore, so she simply bent her elbows under her ears and lay on her side by the pool:

"And it's a promise, a promise I made to that couple.

"Cause and effect entanglement, knots must be solved."

[Shen Xia was killed by someone, but she died unjustly, her obsession was not gone, and her soul was not dispersed.

[I can save it, it just depends on whether you dare to bet. 】

Next to Shen Xiari's corpse, Yan Lan approached Song Jinghong's ear and whispered softly:

[I want you to be killed and swallowed by the Hydra, and take the opportunity to control a part of its soul and prevent it from jumping over the dragon gate at a critical time.

[As long as you can complete it, I can reunite you and Shen Xiari, this is a promise, I will do what I say. 】

Yan Lan withdrew from her memories and smiled with relief:

"I am a man with no morals, but I have some very precious virtues."

Arowana was skeptical: "For example?" ”

"For example, frugality, for example, kindness, for example, trustworthiness."

“……”

Arowana spat out a bubble with a blank face, "Really? It's good if you're happy. ”

These virtues are too subtle and abstract to be examined further.

"There will be some cultural differences in cross-species communication, and I don't care about you." Yan Lan took the steps by herself, "Is the witch mask still there?" ”

"The witch mask is an innate magic weapon, and to put it bluntly, it is the condensation of these polluted currents on my body."

The Arowana shook its body, and several wisps of black qi lingered and condensed, covering the fish's face into a pure black smile mask.

In a trance, there is a smiling girl, an indifferent man, an old wife, a laughing doll, a murderer with a bloody face, and a good old man with tears in his face......

The faces are diverse and vivid.

It shuddered again, and the black gas hid back into the rotting and shattered scales.

"You'll have to wait for me to molt to get it, and now it's crippled to give you, and the side effects will only be greater."

"I'm not in a hurry."

Yan Lan wasn't interested in the magic weapon that the Illusion Gate had dreamed of, "How much do you know about the girl who drowned in the snorkeling ropeway in 2001?" ”

"You mean the soul in the Guanyin Temple?"

"Yes."

"There were so many people who were sacrificed, I don't remember much, but she was really special." Arowana thought for a moment, "Because she wasn't sacrificed to me by the Illusion Gate, she was sacrificed by another group of people." ”

Yan Lan frowned: "It's not an illusion sect?" ”

"It's not."

"What is the sacrifice asking for?"

"Change your life."

"Change your life? Is it an exchange of future lives, or a direct exchange of identities? ”

"How could I remember such a disgusting thing so clearly, and I don't remember it well!"

Arowana spit out seven bubbles in one breath and complained: "The memory of the fish is only seven seconds, do you have any common sense?!" ”

"The memory of the fish spirit is really bad."

Yan Lan sighed, "I know, that's enough." ”

For the rest, she can go to Kowloon Amusement Park to investigate on her own.

"It's none of your business, why should you pursue it? There are many injustices in the world, can you still resolve grievances one by one? ”

Arowana spun around twice, "I see that you didn't get to the bottom of that suspicious little doctor, and you got by." ”

Magic......

Something was wrong enough for this little stupid fish to see.

"It's different."

Yan Lan brushed her hair upward, pressed her forehead with her palm, and said helplessly:

"Fang Shu and I just met in Pingshui, he didn't have the heart to harm me, so I don't need to break the casserole to ask the end, and let the other party bother to lie.

"But the sacrifice is a matter of redress...... If I don't say that I need the merit, but that I can help me now that I have a problem, then there is no reason to stay on the sidelines and stand by.

"I'm also a Taoist priest, not to mention fraternity in the world, at least I have a clear conscience."

"But it's been more than twenty years," Arowana frothed, "even if you go to the place where the incident happened, you may not be able to ask anything." ”

The stamina of overwork surged up, Yan Lan frowned tightly to relieve the headache, and her voice was soft:

"I know, wait until you go out and try it first, and you can't make subjective assumptions."

The Arowana wagged its tail in approval.

The surroundings fell silent again.

"Hey, I really ......"

The Arowana suddenly opened her mouth and patted the edge of the wall with her tail to attract Yan Lan's attention.

Yan Lan lifted her eyelids slightly and looked at it.

"Can evil spirits really live in Taoist temples? Will your ancestors kick me out? ”

Arowana was silent for a few seconds, and said in a muffled voice: "My fish scales have fallen off, if you scare away the people who come to worship, you can't blame me, anyway!" ”

It glared at Yan Lan fiercely, and tried to threaten:

"Anyway, the witch mask is still on me, if you break your word and get fat, I'll destroy it......"

His voice grew lower and lower under Yan Lan's faint smile, and he felt like a child who was unreasonable to his elders.

But I'm several times older than this human trail!

It's still a super-big evil!

Arowana tilted his head: "I'll tell ...... anyway"

"* Avalokiteshvara has said: Great compassion is, equanimity is, non-action is, unstained mind is, and empty contemplation is."

Arowana was stunned, and saw Yan Lan lowering her eyebrows, her fingers gently tapping the ground, her eyes clear and gentle:

"Respect is, humility is, no distraction is, no seeing is taking, no supreme bodhichitta is."

After the rain, the sky is clear, and the moon and stars are scarce.

In the dragon palace, Guanyin lowered his eyebrows and sympathized with all beings, the roof slowly leaked raindrops, and the Bodhi leaves entered the jade bottle.

The timbre is crisp and peaceful.

Outside the hall, Yan Lan smiled, and tapped the stunned arowana in the water with her fingers, if the immortal stroked the top, he gave mercy and compassion:

"Know that if this is the mind, it is the appearance of the dharani, and you should practice according to it."
