Embers Ad Infinitum

Chapter 598: Friendly hand

Views:

Long Yuehong and Bai Chen couldn't answer, while Shang Jianyao, the Zen master of Purdue, was not surprised.

He raised his left palm and whispered the Buddha's name:

"Namo Amatarasamyaksabodhi, we generally call this Su Hui.

"Perhaps Montes's last life was a Buddhist in his last life. He fell into a sea of misery and reincarnated again and again. When he woke up, he slowly remembered his past and present life."

Although he knew that this guy was running the train with his mouth full, Jiang Baimian seriously thought about it in the spirit of seeking truth from facts and said:

"I don't rule out the situation you said, but it may be very small.

"So far, only 'Destiny Pass' has shown the potential to accomplish this kind of thing, but it has not eliminated the side of its own memory waiting to be awakened.

"Unless the 'Bodhi' field has abilities similar to those of 'Fate Pass' but with different details, otherwise..."

Jiang Baimian did not continue to say:

"The two directions that are currently feasible are:

"One, finish reading the remaining books, and put this on tomorrow morning; two, enter the ruins of Tieshan City to see if there are any clues left there.

"Tomorrow, if you are free, you can visit the bishop of the Church of Vigilance and the local hunter's guild to see if they have collected more information on the ruins of Tieshan City.

"It wouldn't be a bad thing to be more prepared in this regard.

"Okay, go back to sleep and stay refreshed."

The next morning, two modified vehicles drove into the Redstone Set.

"Why can't I see people here?" Zug, who was a companion before Bai Chen, stuck his head out of the car window and looked at the surrounding collapsed or abandoned buildings.

At a glance, he felt that he had come to a ruin that had not been explored for a long time, not a smuggling node with a good reputation and strength. The only thing that had a sense of life here were those plants that raised new green in the spring.

"This is the characteristic of the vigilance sect. It seems that the townspeople of Hongshiji have integrated their beliefs into their lives." The old man sitting next to Shao Liang, a young man in a flower shirt, said with a smile.

He is also a gray man, his hair has been sparse enough to see oily skin, the wrinkles on his face are not too exaggerated, and there is always a smile at the corners of his mouth, with an amiable appearance.

"Archbishop, what do you mean..." Zug asked respectfully but not humbly.

Although he also believed in "Yougu", he actually didn't know much about the Vigilance Sect and the Fear Sect. If it wasn't for the recent idea of coming to the south to preach and preach the importance of friendliness and trust, he happened to be on the way, and he didn't want to attend the inexplicable general education conference.

Before Zug finished speaking, he suddenly felt something, turned his head sharply, and turned his attention to a relatively intact high-rise building.

"There are people there." He acted as if he had run into a friendly neighbor while walking, a little surprised, but more joyful.

The old man known as the Archbishop nodded, saying that there was nothing wrong with Zug's discovery.

"I'll go over to say hello and ask where to go." Zug pushed open the car door confidently and walked down.

—Smoky makeup woman Mu sooner or later stopped the car on the side of the road after she told Zug that there was someone nearby.

"Hey, friends in the building, we're here..." Zug waved his right hand as he walked towards the tall building and climbed the steps leading to the gate.

At this moment, a dark and faint grenade was thrown out.

Zug's pupils widened.

With his rich experience, he swooped to the side, flew out of the steps, and shrank to a sheltered place.

Boom!

In the sound of the explosion, Zug felt that the wall of the steps against which he was close was shaking violently.

Then, he found that the person in the building had escaped his sensing range in the opposite direction and escaped.

"We're not malicious! Hey, we're here to make friends!" Zug shouted a few times, but no one responded.

He had to walk back to the modified vehicle and look at the old man:

"Archbishop, why didn't you stop him

"He probably hasn't run out of your sensing range by now."

The Archbishop shook his head and smiled:

"It's not polite.

"When we do things, we must first show our kindness and believe that emotions can be shared.

"Zhi Sui said, trust each other."

His conversation with Zug didn't have that particularly strong sense of superiority and inferiority.

Zug heard the words and expressed his understanding:

"Suspicion is not the new world.

"Then let's move on, ask other townspeople for directions, and dispel their excessive vigilance with sincerity?"

Since he joined the "Friendly Hand", he has become accustomed to being treated as a donkey's liver and lungs. After all, people like them are considered aliens in the dust.

The Archbishop nodded in satisfaction.

Zug opened the car door and sat back in the co-pilot, thinking while saying:

"We simply went around the lake and found the farmland reclaimed by Hongshiji.

"It's the season for sowing and farming. There must be people over there, and it's not easy to hide."

Mu Chi and Shao Liang agreed with his proposal.

I don't know how long it took, the two vehicles finally circled to the area near the lake to the northwest of Hongshiji, and saw a lot of farmland being reclaimed here.

There are many figures in the farmland busy.

They found that after Zug and others approached, they gathered at the predetermined place in a disciplined manner. Some hid behind simple fortifications, and some stood outside, forcing themselves to observe the subsequent changes, posing a posture that could communicate.

Seeing this scene, Zug was so moved that he almost wiped his eyes.

This is normal vigilance!

The people in the ruins of the city just now were so extreme that they were mentally ill!

Well, the only question is, do you all have to wear masks

"We want to ask for directions." Zug waved out, indicating his intention.

He learned from the previous lesson, shortened the sentence, and quickly said it again in both the grey earth language and the red river language.

Among the group of "farmers", a man wearing an indigo theatrical mask gathered his courage, took a few steps forward, and asked in Honghe language:

"Where do you want to go?"

"Watch out for the church." Zug responded loudly.

The man breathed a sigh of relief, and it was no surprise that strangers were looking for a vigilant church.

He pointed to the southeast direction and said:

"Go straight along this road, and when you fast-forward to the ruins, you can see the church.

"If you accidentally go astray, look in the surrounding farmland. We still have a lot of people busy over there, and we can correct the route for you."

"Thank you!" Zug made trumpets with his hands and put them to his mouth.

He then asked again:

"How many forces does the Red Stone Collection have now?"

"The original Greyspeakers, the Red River and our 'underground ark' people.

"But everyone believes in 'Yougu' and obeys the church's orders."

Zug showed a relieved smile.

He suddenly turned around, turned his back to the group of people in the "underground ark", and praised reverently:

"Single weak, group strong."

This is the etiquette of the "friendly hand", expressing trust in the other party, and even willing to give them the back.

After asking again what an "underground ark" is, Zug said goodbye to the group of people and walked back to the car.

The archbishop in the back row withdrew his gaze and said with emotion:

"The one in the 'underground ark' is not a simple character."

Shao Liang, a young man with a flower shirt, smiled and said:

"Can you have an archbishop who is great?"

The archbishop was silent for a few seconds and said:

"It's very possible.

"It's just that his state is not quite right."

Mu Chi, who was driving, did not expect the owner of the "underground ark" to be so powerful, and blurted out:

"Is he a sect vigilant, a fearful bishop?"

"No, he's just an ordinary believer." The Archbishop replied simply.

Hearing this, Zug turned his head:

"Archbishop, you are familiar with the 'underground ark'..."

The Archbishop smiled kindly:

"When I was young, I heard about the owner of the Ark from the 'Hand of God' at that time, and I ran over here and stayed for a while."

"Then you must know where the Vigilant Church is..." Zug said in surprise.

You don't need to ask someone for directions at all!

The Archbishop smiled:

"This is all forty or fifty years ago. I am so old, how can I still remember the specific path?"

During the exchange of several people, two modified vehicles drove towards the vigilant church.

After driving like this for a while, they saw that some of the original suburban wasteland had been reclaimed, and many people were working.

Upon seeing this, the archbishop thought for a moment and instructed Zug:

"Go and ask about the situation of the 'underground ark' in detail.

"Hey, I don't know how that old friend is doing now..."

Zug agreed immediately, and when the car stopped, he pushed the door and walked out, finding a girl wearing a ghost mask nearby.

Considering that the other party was someone who was vigilant against the sect, he deliberately kept a sufficient distance and asked in a loud voice:

"Are you from the 'underground ark'?"

"Yes." The girl didn't deliberately amplify her voice, and it was quite difficult for Zug to hear clearly.

Because the other party was using the grey earth language, he changed back to his native language and continued to ask:

"Who is the current owner of the ark?"

"Master?" The girl asked in confusion, "There is no master, and now the management committee is in charge."

Ah... Zug almost doubted his ears, so he couldn't help but took two steps forward. The girl was so frightened that she backed away again and again, and the surrounding "farmers" rushed over to support him and pulled out guns from different places.

Zug raised his hands indifferently:

"Where is the original owner of the ark, dead?"

"It was overthrown and died at the hands of our five presidents." The girl's voice carried a bit of pride.

Chug's eyes moved slightly, resisting the urge to ask, and returned to the car.

He repeated what he had just learned.

"The owner of the ark was killed..." The archbishop was obviously a little shocked.

Shao Liang, the young man in the flower shirt, had no clear idea of how strong the original owner of the boat was, but sneered:

"Warning about the church and watching those five people deal with their own believers?"

"Well, this seems to be a bit complicated, we went to the vigilant church and asked carefully." The archbishop has restrained his redundant expression.

The vehicle continued to move forward, and not long after, Zug and others finally arrived at the Vigilant Church.

Under the gaze of a pair of eyes hidden in the dark, they walked into the blood-red and golden hall.

"This color is too..." As a believer of "Yougu", Shao Liang, a young man with a flower shirt, reluctantly held back his mockery of the aesthetics of the same faith.

Zug saw four familiar figures.

They just entered the elevator and went down.

"Bai Chen and the others?" Zug stared for a while, then nodded slightly.

He intends to wait to say hello, if the other party will return to the hall.
