Chapter 12: The Ancient Sects of the Inner World
The Death Bird of the [Moonlight Hermitage]?
Is this a priesthood-like priesthood or ......
"Anyway, you just listen to the boss obediently, and don't have more contact with that crazy woman, otherwise you will get yourself into trouble sooner or later."
Kui Nan looked much happier after eating the boxed lunch, and she no longer sniffed aggrievedly.
She leaned back against the almost spongy couch and patted herself on the stomach with pleasure.
"Why does [the Moonlight Retreat] want her?" Chen Jing sat cross-legged on the ground and asked curiously.
"Defection." Kui Nan didn't know where to find a toothpick, and shook it in his mouth, "No one knows what the specific reason is, and the hermitage didn't say it clearly, but I don't think it's a trivial matter." ”
Chen Jing nodded thoughtfully, secretly digesting the information he had received from Kui Nan.
Judging from the books in "one's" bedroom, it is almost certain that the geographical features of the inner world are completely different from those of the real world.
It is not like the table of the six continents that are divided and separated.
in this world (or planet).
All living beings live on the same continent surrounded by the "Sea of the Old".
The continent is divided into three regions.
But it is more accurate to say that it is divided into three cities.
With the exception of the mob exclusion zone known as the "Old Wasteland", all other areas that can accommodate creatures are divided into these three cities.
These three cities are located in the north, east, and south of the continent.
The city in the north is called "Polar Daytime".
The city built on the eastern coast is called "Hanging City".
As for the last one in the south, the Eternal Night Market......
This is where Chen Jing is.
The social structure and legal provisions of each city are significantly different, and it can be said that only the Eternal Night Market is the closest to the real world.
And in these three cities, there are different ancient sects that preach in them.
There is a [Big Buddha Mother Temple] during the polar day.
The Hanging City has the [Turing Workshop].
As for the native religion of the Eternal Night Market, it is naturally the [Moonlight Retreat].
Chen Jing did not know much about this sect, and it was difficult to find an overly detailed description of them even in books, only that the beliefs of these believers were extremely special.
They all worship a moon god named "Gegero".
That's right.
What they believe in is the strange moon above their heads that looks down on the world with a mocking expression all day long.
"Judging by the news......"
"The three cities of the world are all governed by [the Round Table Council]...... They are the true rulers of this world...... But the power of these ancient sects does not seem to be any less ...... than [the Round Table Council]"
"That little girl is wanted by the Insistence......"
Thinking of this, Chen Jing suddenly sensed a key point.
Whether it is Yan Que or Kui Nan, the information they reveal has one thing in common.
Yan Que said that the old man is a good man, but he is crazy, and with him, the property fee is worth it.
And Kui Nan said......
If Yan Que hadn't lived in this community, I'm afraid she would have been tied to the firewood pile and burned by those fanatical believers.
Thinking deeply from these two information points, the reason why Yan Que was not captured by the [Moonlight Hermitage]......
Is it because of the old man?
"Boss." Chen Jing asked quietly, "Yan Que was not captured by the [Moonlight Hermitage Order] because my grandfather ...... Is it because of that old madman? ”
I have to say that Chen Jing changed his words in time, at least the brainless Kui Nan hadn't reacted yet, and was leaning on the sofa and slumped aside to digest the food in his stomach.
"That's right."
"Old madman...... Isn't it amazing? ”
"What do you say?"
Kui Nan turned his head with great grief and indignation, his good-looking side face was lined with a pair of panda eyes, and he seemed to be aggrieved again.
"If you can beat an old descendant like me who is so strong that there is no boundary, can that old thing not be powerful!"
"After all, don't cry ...... yet"
"I didn't cry!"
Kui Nan sniffed hard, the tears in his eyes kept rolling, but the corners of his mouth forcibly hooked a disdainful smile of "how can Lao Tzu cry".
"I'm just gray in my eyes, damn it...... Woooooooooooooooo ”
Chen Jing felt that his grandfather was really unjustifiable for bullying a big fool, and he was angry with this girl!
"Don't cry, come, tell me about this old man...... Is there still a grade? Chen Jing walked over and squatted beside Kui Nan and comforted him, intending to use his mindless mind to gain a deeper understanding of the world.
"You don't even know this?"
Kui Nan searched for tissues as he spoke, but he couldn't find them after looking left and right, and finally simply pulled the corner of Chen Jing's clothes and wiped his face.
"The old descendants are divided into eight classes, from sequence 1 to sequence 8, like your boss and I are the old descendants of sequence 3, amazing!"
"Awesome...... Boss, how do you upgrade this sequence? ”
"Everyone's is different."
Kui Nan said it simply, but Chen Jing was confused.
"When you reach the threshold of the Sequence Advancement, you will receive your own Divine Revelation ......"
"Apocalypse?"
"Oh, God is talking in your ear, telling you what kind of thing to do, or what kind of relic to obtain, or what strange ritual to perform...... After that, you'll be able to level up! ”
"That'...... Which god is this talking in your ear? Chen Jing was even more curious.
Kui Nan sneered, and lay on the sofa cushion with his head in his hands in disdain.
"[The Moonlight Retreat] said that it was the gospel brought to everyone by the moon god Gegero."
"The monks of the [Turing Research Society] also said that this is Turing Tianzun who is giving everyone a wonderful method."
"The monks [of the Mother of the Great Buddha Monastery] are even more unremarkable, saying that they are dreams entrusted to everyone by the loving mother Nicholas...... Which do you believe? ”
Chen Jing didn't know how to answer, but he still had doubts in his mind, because he listened to Kui Nan's words...... It seems that there really is a god in this world?
But if they are all gods, then what are the "Them" who are the ones who start this biological ascension test?
A higher level of God?
"The food you brought me today is so delicious!" Kui Nan couldn't help licking her mouth, as if she was still nostalgic for the taste of the boxed lunch before, "Next time you have this kind of delicious food, bring me some more?" ”
"Okay."
Chen Jing nodded without hesitation, and then suddenly remembered something.
This time, the "extra question" was to make friends with his neighbors.
And under the title, there is the garbled text that has appeared more than once.
For example, the gifts that Chen Jing brought to the neighbors this time were extracted based on those garbled information......
Yanque's apple, Kui Nan's lunch......
"You love food?" Chen Jing asked tentatively.
"That's right!"
Kui Nan seemed to be in good spirits when he said this, and sat up excitedly, putting his hands on Chen Jing's shoulders and shaking wildly.
"I love to eat the good stuff the most! In the future, if you have something delicious, remember to bring me some! I...... Shall I give you the game to play? ”
Chen Jing didn't care about Kui Nan's words.
Instead, he pondered in silence.
It seems that the gibberish text has some credibility.
So that's a kind of cheating prompt on the way to the exam?
Yes, all candidates have this tip......
Or is it just me......
"By the way, I brought you a box of this."
Chen Jing suddenly remembered that there was a takeaway box printed with "Exclusive Taste for Old Descendants" in the plastic bag, and took it out like a treasure to brush Kui Nan's friendliness.
Just now he summoned the light curtain and looked at it, and the progress of the additional questions was only 20%......
So he suspects that this progress is tied to the friendliness of his neighbors.
He has played this kind of game, and it is estimated that eight or nine are not far from ten!
"this thing, dogs don't ......" Kui Nan suddenly paused, as if he felt that these words hurt his little brother's heart, and hurriedly changed his words, "I'm already full, no need, thank you!" ”
Dogs don't eat it?
Chen Jingxin said that fortunately, I made two preparations, if I didn't bring those normal meals today, I just brought this box of water as a gift...... Will this mindless just throw me down the stairs?
"Other people like this thing, I don't like it, I'm not interested in the same kind......" Kui Nan yawned.
"Understood."
Chen Jing took back the takeaway box and prepared to bring it back to the old man for supper.
"Boss, you always talk about old people...... Are there a lot of old people in this world? ”
"I doubt if you are a part of this world......" Kui Nan glanced at Chen Jing and explained impatiently, "Of course, the number of old descendants is not much, but there are quite a few old descendants living in this building, I can feel it!" ”
"You know them all?" Chen Jing asked.
"I only know two at the moment." Kui Nan scratched his face and said embarrassedly, "One is the stupid X who fought with me upstairs, and the other is the old madman who is on the same level as me......"
As soon as the words fell, Kui Nan still felt a little embarrassed, for fear that he would lose his prestige in front of his younger brother.
"The main thing is that I don't like to go out, so I don't know many people, you know what I mean......"
"Well, like me, like otaku?"
"Otaku?" Although Kui Nan didn't know what it meant, he felt that this word was very appropriate, "It should be!" I just love staying at home and playing! I have a lot of games and ...... at home Never mind. ”
As he spoke, Kui Nan suddenly became depressed, and curled up in a ball with his knees pitifully.
"A lot of cassettes were broken by that old madman...... I'll buy it again when I make some money......"
"That old man is so ruthless......" Chen Jing, as a loyal fan of the game, can fully empathize with Kui Nan's heartache.
"When there is a chance, he will definitely make him pay!"
"Forget it, he's so powerful......"
Kui Nan didn't seem to want to pretend anymore, she hung her head on her knees, and drew circles on the ground with her fingers in a depressed mood.
"Last time the old madman went to talk to that stupid X upstairs, I leaned on the ceiling and eavesdropped......"
"The stupid X upstairs said that he admired the old madman very much, because the last time the bishop of [Moonlight Hermitage] came to the community to find the old madman to ask for someone, he was pressed to the ground by the old madman and smoked three big mouths in a row......"
"After that, I thought that [the Moonlight Retreat] was going to come to seek revenge on the old madman, but within a few days, the bishop who had been slapped by him came to the door and apologized to the old madman......" Kui Nan said this, his face becoming more and more depressed.
"He also came to apologize to the old madman?" Chen Jing asked puzzledly, "Isn't he the one who was beaten?" ”
"yes." Kui Nan sniffed, sat on the ground and hugged his knees, "But the bishop said that he was beaten by the old man because he was too ignorant and complained about the old man's action, and he also had to thank the old man for his careful teaching." ”
As soon as the words fell, Kui Nan fell silent for a long time before he spoke.
"I didn't know the old madman was so powerful, but when I heard what they said, I was beaten up by him...... I, I'm a little shrimp monkey year and a month to find him for revenge......"
"People must have ideals!"
Chen Jing was indignant and decided to give some encouragement to the mindless.
"There is no ideal, what is the difference between salted fish!"
"I know that, but ......"
Kui Nan glanced at Chen Jing and raised his hand to pull his hair.
"You don't even dare to speak ill of an old madman, beware of him making trouble for you, I heard that old thing has the smallest heart......"
"Boss, do you think I can become an old descendant?" Chen Jing quietly changed the topic and guided the topic in the direction he was interested in.
"Become?" Kui Nan shook his head, "It's basically innate, and it's just that you're born an old descent." ”
Essential?
A hint of expectation flashed in Chen Jing's eyes, and he continued to ask with a pretended to be calm.
"What's that not basic?"
"I really don't know about that."
Kui Nan lowered his head again and continued to draw circles on the ground.
"It may be that it has come into contact with some relics of the old era, or it may have been mutated by the contamination of the war wasteland...... But it's all just legends, who knows. ”
At this moment, Kui Nan suddenly frowned and looked out the window.
"Damn, these things are here again!"
Chen Jing was stunned: "What's coming?" ”
"That stupid bird upstairs raised by Silly X......" Kui Nan said, and then slowly stood up and walked to the window.
Chen Jing followed, only to see a terrifying flock of crows appear in the sky outside the window.
As if instructed by something, they circled silently in the sky, without even making any sound of flapping their wings.
Take a look in a trance.
It's like a swirling black cloud appeared in the sky.
"I fly here every day, and I get annoyed to death......"
As an old resident, Kui Nan seemed to be prepared for this, and she bent down to open the cardboard box placed next to the window, which was filled with black stones that she didn't know where to pick them up.
"Don't!"
Chen Jing saw Kui Nan pick up a stone, hurriedly grabbed her arm, and persuaded her bitterly.
"What are you angry with the brutes!"
"You let go!" Kui Nan said angrily, "I have to show that stupid X upstairs a little color!" I have nothing to do to raise such a large flock of stupid birds......"
"Don't, don't!"
Chen Jing remembered Yan Que's suggestive entrustment, and suddenly he was covered with cold sweat and refused to let go.
"You smash her cutie again, that stupid ...... upstairs Then the neighbor is really looking for you! ”
