Chapter One Hundred and Two: A Stronghold Outside the City
"The Church of the Scourge? Are you sure you heard it right? ”
When Lin Xing heard this name, he jumped up subconsciously, his eyes staring at the woman deadly, hoping to see even a flaw in the woman's expression.
But the woman's expression was not confused, it was still the firm tone.
"Can't be wrong, in my life, I don't have any other talents, only a better memory can be regarded as a talent."
"You mean, the Church of the Celestial Gods has a nickname, the Church of the Cataclysm?"
Lin Xing asked word by word, but in the end, he saw the woman nodding.
For a moment, Lin Xing didn't know whether to be happy or regretful.
"Can you tell me about this organization?"
"Hey, where do I start?"
The woman sighed and covered her mouth, as if lost in thought.
Lin Xing only felt that at this time, he should hand over a cigarette, and then the woman took another puff and spit out a smoke ring, which was really suitable.
"About five years ago, a group of people who claimed to be from the Celestial God Church came to Qingniu Town, and at first, they would help us treat our diseases for free, and there was a free school, but they taught children to read and write."
"But after a year or so, as the number of people joined, they suddenly said that their God was going to be resurrected to lead us to a better life."
When Lin Xing heard this, he only felt that it was so familiar, and how it looked so much like the story of a big man in a certain church.
"But how can people believe this kind of thing, which is unfounded?"
"At first, everyone didn't believe it, but suddenly one day, the village chief joined the Church of the Gods, and he also declared that as long as he joined the church, he would be blessed by the gods."
"The blessing of the gods?"
"Yes, some farmers have joined, but they found that the crops in their farmland are growing fast and well, and they don't even need to apply fertilizer and weeding, and the harvest is more than 30% higher than that of other farmers."
"Next, there are hunters, fishermen, etc., people from all walks of life have joined, and a year later, the entire Qingniu Town is a believer in the Celestial God Church."
Lin Xing frowned, how could he feel that the operation of this church was so familiar?
"In that case, shouldn't your life be better? Why can't you afford to eat now? ”
Speaking of this, the woman's hands were tightly clasped together, and Lin Xing could hear the sound of the woman gritting her teeth.
"It didn't take long for the church to encourage us to make all kinds of donations, at first a few copper coins were enough, and later, the donation of silver coins was not satisfied, and even in the end, it had begun to be robbed, and the things that were a little more valuable were snatched away by them."
"But didn't you think to go and report to the police? Nearby big cities, or even state cities, it's impossible to ignore this kind of thing, right? ”
"It's useless, no one can't do without it."
The woman was silent for a moment, and suddenly remembered something.
"I think of a thing, in the mountains outside Xicheng, there seems to be a stronghold of theirs, usually the big people don't live in the city, they will live in that place."
Seeing that the woman's mood was a little unstable, Lin Xing helped the woman up, intending to send the woman downstairs to rest.
But when he walked downstairs, Lin Xing was surprised to find that the man had disappeared.
I searched around the basement and the first floor, but I didn't find a man.
"You guys go quickly, he should go to the church, if they come, you won't be able to leave."
Lin Xing nodded, he agreed with this conclusion, in the case that the strength is inferior to the enemy, avoiding the battle is the most reasonable operation.
He took out a lot of food from the ring, put it in the woman's basement, took out a few more silver coins, and handed them to the woman.
"We're leaving, these things, I hope they can help you."
Lin Xing took a few steps, rushed to the room on the second floor, and woke up Tao Zhengwen in his sleep.
Seeing Tao Zhengwen's sleepy appearance, Lin Xing didn't have time to explain, so he could only forcibly help him turn on the machine.
"Don't ask anything, come with me, this place is not suitable for a long time."
Tao Zhengwen hurriedly slapped his face a few times and forcibly sobered himself up.
After getting dressed and draped in a rain cloth, not long after leaving the small building, a series of footsteps appeared near the small building.
The leader followed the man in, but it didn't take long for the two to come out.
The leader slapped the man to the ground, then shouted something that he didn't know, and then the people behind him scattered, and just like that, they began to look for it.
The roof of a building not far from the small building.
As the people looking for the two of them walked farther and farther, Tao Zhengwen only felt that his beating heart had become much slower, and he couldn't help but ask out loud.
"Lin Xing, how do you know they won't search this kind of place?"
"Let's not talk about their strength, they can't come up at all, even if they can get up, who would have thought that the two of us didn't go far at all, but waited on the roof."
Lin Xing didn't say half a sentence in the end, but Tao Zhengwen didn't understand what Lin Xing meant.
"Dude has been playing CS peek-a-boo mode for so many years, and few people will look at it, which is the real safety point."
"What's next?"
"Wait a few minutes, let's go west, since they have a stronghold in the west of the city, they must go and see."
Both of them are in the Tongzhi Realm, although Lin Xing is a law cultivator, but there is no problem for the two of them to climb over this kind of city wall that is not too high.
I went all the way west, leaving the season with you.
"You continue to look in the city, the master will ignore you!"
However, although he left the city, the road to finding the stronghold was not smooth.
In addition to a number of patrol posts, there are even secret posts in the middle of a few bushes.
"I'll go, you're too good, you can find a secret whistle in the grass?"
"Actually, I really didn't know there was a dark whistle there, but I felt that if there was no one there, there would be a lot of space without people, which was very inconsistent with the design of other places."
"That's fine."
In order to bypass all kinds of sentinels, Lin Xing and the others found this so-called stronghold until almost noon.
It is a cave with at least three mobile sentry posts at the entrance to the cave, in addition to the fixed sentry, and a sentry that appears from time to time.
At this time, the two were wearing a set of sentry clothes, and when they were about to come in, they killed two sentries and changed their clothes.
It's just that now it doesn't look like you can get in with a set of clothes, and guards of this level will definitely have so-called slogans, and even need tokens for identification.
At this moment, Lin Xing only felt that his scalp was a little numb, this level of guard, unless Lin Xing had the superpower of stealth and teleportation.
"It's a pity, I don't remember the English of stealth and teleportation, I just remember move, and he doesn't move half of it for me."
After a while, the sentries changed the guard and went to eat, but the number of guards was still so much, and Lin Xing couldn't help but have a headache.
