Following the female voice, the "Sacred Eye" believers present raised their hands and pressed their thumbs under the brow bone.

At the same time, the rest of their fingers stretched up and put them on their foreheads.

"one two three four… "

In the clear female voice, they followed the rhythm and rubbed solemnly.

"..." Long Yuehong watched with her mouth half open, her expression gradually strange.

If he remembered correctly, this should be the "eye exercises" that "Pangu Biology" primary and secondary schools do every day.

At most, there are some differences in the details of the actions and the length of the names.

Finally, Long Yuehong reacted and looked at Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao.

Jiang Baimian pursed his mouth tightly, his cheek muscles and the ponytail at the back of his head trembled slightly, Shang Jianyao had closed his eyes at some point, and followed suit, his expression was very solemn.

Long Yuehong was about to communicate with them in a low voice, when Jiang Baimian suddenly turned his head and looked at him.

The leader of the "Old Key Group" immediately raised his right hand and made a zipper action on his mouth.

Long Yuehong understood and kept quiet.

Bai Chen looked at them a little blankly, not understanding why they had such a reaction.

"Second quarter, squeeze the eyes and eyes...

"The third section, massage the four white acupoints...

"The fourth quarter, the wheel scratches the eye socket..."

In a solemn and solemn atmosphere, the Mass of the "Sacred Eye" slowly came to an end.

Fei Lin, who was leading the way at the door of the RV, opened his eyes and said in a chant-like tone:

"The eye is holy.

"To care for your eyes is to care for your life!"

The believers put their two index fingers on the lower eye sockets again and responded loudly:

"May your eyes grow bright!"

Fehling made the same action, but instead of using the same language, he praised the "Double Sun":

"God is the sun and the moon!"

Having done this, he announced aloud:

"Next, take the sacrament."

After speaking, he jumped out of the RV door and moved out of the way.

Several believers stepped in and brought out orange plastic trays from the kitchen area.

On the tray lay one plate after another, each plate containing several steamed carrot cubes.

Fei Lin looked at Shang Jianyao and the others, and explained it in a preaching tone:

"It's a gift of ageing.

"It can brighten your eyes."

"May your eyes grow brighter." Shang Jianyao replied sincerely, but did not move.

Fehling was quite generous, handing out a sacrament to each guest, along with chopsticks and a spoon.

Long Yuehong said thank you, stretched out his hand to take it, and ate it unhurriedly.

Although this steamed carrot has no extra seasoning, it tastes relatively bland, but it is still delicious for Long Yuehong who is tired of energy bars, compressed biscuits and military cans.

After the Eucharist, the mass officially ended, Fei Lin walked up to Shang Jianyao and the others and said with a smile:

"For those of us who drive a lot, eyes are really important.

"It's also the main reason why I embraced the 'Divine Eye'.

"Look, I don't have any old flowers yet."

"Indeed." Jiang Baimian understood very well why the "rootless" people were more willing to believe in the "Sacred Eye".

This is caused by their living environment and customs.

Shang Jianyao asked:

"Don't you have glasses?"

"Yes." Fei Lin felt that this was the concern of his good brother, and explained with a smile, "Many forces still retain the equipment and craftsmanship for grinding glasses, but they can make your eyes clear like the old world. Yes, very little.

"Moreover, glasses are an external thing after all. When we travel through the wilderness and other places, we may not encounter a human settlement for a few days or ten days. Even if we do, it may not be able to help you get glasses.

"In such a process, if the glasses are broken, wouldn't it be equivalent to blindness? How can I drive

"Even if you get spare glasses in advance, you won't be able to prevent your eyesight from dropping again. By then, they will all be useless."

After laying out the facts and explaining the truth, Fei Lin asked with a smile:

"How? How do you feel about our 'Sacred Eye'? Would you like to join?"

If the relatives and friends of "Pangu Biology" knew that I joined such a sect, I would definitely be laughed at for the rest of my life... Jiang Baimian muttered silently, but instead of answering directly, he looked at Shang Jianyao.

Shang Jianyao said sincerely:

"I don't think we have anything to do with the 'Sacred Eye'."

"It's a pity..." Fei Lin looked regretful.

He pointed to the direction of the "Old Tuning Team" jeep and said:

"You guys go and wait for me first, I'll change clothes and come to discuss the spray painting plan."

"Okay." Jiang Baimian agreed immediately.

On the way back to the area where the jeep was located, Long Yuehong glanced back and thoughtfully said to Shang Jianyao:

"The reason you rejected them is that you don't think their sacrament is too delicious?"

"It may be that there is no fate." Shang Jianyao replied calmly.

"Haha, I knew it." Long Yuehong was quite happy.

He also felt that the simple carrot sacrament was too simple and should not attract businessmen.

Bai Chen is also considered to be integrated into the group. Seeing that the atmosphere is suitable, he asks:

"Why do you guys react so much to the 'Sacred Eye' Mass?"

Hearing this question, Jiang Baimian finally couldn't hold back anymore, and laughed lowly, almost unable to walk.

After a while, she took a deep breath and said:

"I am too familiar with their Mass.

"In the company, every student is very familiar!"

Seeing that Bai Chen was still at a loss, she made an analogy and said:

"You still remember the morning exercise in Shuiwei Town

"This is a kind of morning exercise in the company's primary and secondary schools.

"Haha, this is indeed left over from the old world, but it has nothing to do with Zhisui. As a result, they regard it as a mass because it has something to do with the eyes. Haha, I can't do it anymore..."

Jiang Baimian laughed so much that Long Yuehong couldn't help laughing along.

Bai Chen probably understood it, and imagined the scene of the "Sacred Eye" taking the morning exercise in the water circle town as mass, and he couldn't help but bring a faint smile on his face.

"What if the top executives of the company were all 'Sacred Eyes' and deliberately chose this one for eye exercises?" Shang Jianyao asked suddenly.

"How is it possible..." Long Yuehong said, her voice getting lower.

This possibility is very scary and terrifying just thinking about it.

Jiang Baimian glared at Shang Jianyao:

"Stop telling ghost stories!

"If that's the case, we'd already be followers of the Holy Eye."

While speaking, they returned to the jeep.

Jiang Baimian looked at his car and gradually fell into contemplation.

"Team leader, what are you thinking?" Long Yuehong asked curiously after waiting for a while.

Jiang Baimian pondered and said:

"I was wondering if it was possible to deduce the abilities of the Awakened in the field of "Shuangri" from 'severe hair loss' and 'abnormal sexual fetishes'.

"Du Heng said that there should be a vague mapping between cost and ability."

Shang Jianyao immediately made a guess:

"Can make the enemy lose hair and pervert?"

"...Such abilities should be classified as psychic blows." Long Yuehong imagined and said.

Jiang Bai gave Shang Jianyao a blank look:

"I mean looking for common ground.

"However, it's not certain that the second Awakener that Fehling mentioned is also a believer of the Divine Eye.

"If it is, I think what they have in common is that they all involve hormones."

Bai Chen belongs to the relatively good basic education among the wilderness wanderers, and probably knows what hormones represent.

She pondered and said:

"It's a big range."

"Indeed, but there is too little information at present, so we can only speculate to this level." Jiang Baimian said "um" again, "Also, since the focus of their teachings is on the eyes, their abilities may also include the field of vision, hehe, I wouldn't be surprised if the Awakened with the 'Holy Eye' could achieve near-invisibility."

She didn't say what to do if she encountered a similar awakened person.

During the discussion among the four members of the "Old Tunes Group", Fei Lin had changed into the black leather jacket from yesterday and came over.

There was still a gun pouch hanging around his waist with the "Boa constrictor" revolver in it.

After saying hello, he looked at the jeep of the "Old Tuning Group", and he considered:

"How about camouflage sprayed in army green

"For Jeep, it's more common and it doesn't become the center of attention."

"Yes." Jiang Baimian fully respected the opinions of "professionals".

Flynn asked instead:

"How are you going to send yourself to Weed City

"We have special trailers that can hold jeeps."

"Don't be so troublesome." Jiang Baimian expressed his thoughts to Shang Jianyao's life and death brothers, "You send a small motorcade pretending to go to Weed City to do business, and we can just mix in there. If you happen to have That's a better plan."

Flynn laughed:

"It's such a coincidence!"

After laughing, he added:

"We happen to have a convoy going to Weed City to see if we can get back some more food."

"You don't have enough food reserves?" Jiang Baimian guessed that it wasn't the reason, but asked that on purpose.

Flynn sighed and said:

"The weather is bad this year, and food production in many places has decreased.

"More reserves may save lives, or sell for a good price."

Speaking of the latter half of the sentence, a smile gradually appeared on his face.

"Then we'll follow your team." Jiang Baimian didn't ask any further, "How many cans do we have to pay in total? Or, do you want compressed biscuits and energy bars?"

"Last night's wine and dinner... Today's spray paint and tomorrow's team blessing... A total of ten cans will suffice, not enough for compressed biscuits and energy bars." Fehling quickly reported the number.

Jiang Baimian breathed a sigh of relief:

"Just barely enough."

Fehling's smile then became relaxed:

"Then leave tomorrow morning, and I will definitely be there before noon."

"So fast?" Although Jiang Baimian didn't plan to continue the detour, he knew that there was at least a day's journey ahead.

Flynn smiled and said:

"Some time ago, Yecaocheng repaired the broken bridge over the Zhuo River, so there is no need to go anywhere else."

The Zhuo River is the name after the Green River flows into the Monk Wasteland.

Jiang Baimian nodded:

"Okay, let's settle it then."
