Big Beardy's lecture finally came to an end. The group of old ladies around him immediately entered into a serious discussion session. One of them even held up a small notebook and asked, "Master, I came late when you were talking about the cycle of all things yesterday. Can I …"
Big Beardy had already noticed Hao Ren standing outside the circle. He quickly waved his hand and said, "Let's talk tomorrow. Let fate take its course. Just listen to whatever you want. Mr. Landlord, you're here? "
At least 60% of the old ladies knew Hao Ren. In a small place like the Southern Suburbs, the neighbors had lived for decades. Everyone knew each other. Immediately, some of them came up to greet him. Hao Ren could only smile and respond to them one by one. Grandma Zhao, who was familiar with Hao Ren, came up and grabbed Hao Ren's hand. "Hao Ren, you haven't shown up for more than ten days, right? Going out again? "
Old ladies like to pay attention to these trivial matters.
Hao Ren laughed dryly. "Work, work... Didn't I get a job last year that required me to travel a lot?"
"Well, it's good to find a steady job." The old lady nodded with a dignified demeanor, but she soon became more serious. "But you're not at home all day … Don't forget that you're still renting a house. Can you take care of it?"
Hao Ren hurriedly said a few perfunctory words and quickly left. He came up to Big Beardy and asked, "Why are you still in class?"
"I didn't expect that," Big Beardy spread out his hands innocently. "I've been following your advice and trying not to attract attention. But a few days ago, I met an old lady on the street who was suffering from stomach problems. I treated her and talked to her about living a good life... "
"Then the news spread like wildfire, and you became the health guru of the Southern Suburbs, right?" Hao Ren slapped himself on the forehead. "Nowadays, people who want to be famous don't get noticed no matter how hard they try. How can people who don't want to be famous become celebrities just by helping an old lady on the street?"
Big Beardy shrugged, speechless, because he had no idea what "fame" meant. Seeing his reaction, Hao Ren rolled his eyes and said, "Think of a way to stop your classes. Do you know that the ascetic lifestyle of an ordinary person would easily starve to death?"
Big Beardy chuckled. "I know, I know. Moreover, I also wanted to stop. To tell the truth, dealing with these people was much more difficult than studying the ancient scroll. In the past few days, at least twenty or thirty madams had dragged me to their homes to give lectures. I was really annoyed, and just refusing them consumed most of my energy. However, I felt that it would be very irresponsible for these people if I suddenly left, so I delayed it until today … "
Hao Ren looked at the new Lady's Friend strangely, grabbed his arm and hurried him home. "Let's go, let's go. Let's get out of here quickly. If you continue to cause trouble like this, who knows when some indignant old man will report you as a cult. "
When the two of them were almost at the door, Hao Ren slowed down, tilted his head and said in a low voice, "We found a stable passage to the Plane of Dreams. Becky has gone back. Are you and the other three masters planning to go back? "
Big Beardy paused, then quickly caught up. "Stable passage? You found it when you went to deal with the 'evil spirit' this time? "
Hao Ren nodded. Big Beardy thought for a moment and shook his head slightly. "We do have plans to return to report, but not in the near future. We have each found what we want to do in this world. We should travel here and learn as much as possible about this strange world. This will be of great help to our training, and also help us to have a deeper understanding of the Goddess' power of creation. "
When Hao Ren heard these strange things from Big Beardy, he felt a headache, but he knew that most devout believers were like this, so he could only try to get used to it. He asked the other three masters about their movements. "What are the other three masters doing now?"
Big Beardy squinted slightly, as if he was confirming the others' situation through some mysterious spiritual connection. After a moment, he opened his eyes. "One is in Africa, conquered lions and wild elephants, and is busy mediating the dispute between two local tribes … He is the new chief of one of the tribes. One is in Antarctica, she is cutting ice, looking for primitive land, and has a group of seals at her command. The last one is in India, she seems to have found a lot of like-minded people, maybe there she can spread the gospel of the Goddess. "
Hao Ren was speechless.
After a while, Hao Ren came to his senses. The three ascetics who went out to travel the world were more troublesome than he thought. He looked at Big Beardy with an almost horrified expression. "What are you going to do?!"
Big Beardy looked indifferent. "Travel the world."
Hao Ren looked like he was about to collapse. "To travel the world, you have to go to Africa to be a chief, go to Antarctica to cut ice, go to India … What the f * ck, in comparison, the one in India is the most normal?!"
"Of course, you have to go through all the hardships and obstacles in this world," Big Beardy did not understand why Hao Ren was so surprised. "How can it be called experience if you don't challenge the limits of survival?"
Hao Ren was speechless, and after a long while, he thought of a practical question. "Wait a minute … How did they run so far?! You don't have passports! Even if you smuggled, you can't find them, right? "
Big Beardy nodded. "They swam."
Hao Ren was speechless.
In the dictionary of the ascetics, the word 'travel' in 'travel' meant this!
"I feel that I can't stop you from conquering this world." Hao Ren waved his hand weakly. He suddenly felt that going to the Otherworld to bomb the First Born was much easier than dealing with these ascetics. "As long as they don't cause any trouble … I don't care."
Big Beardy nodded happily. "We have a plan."
To be honest, two months ago, Hao Ren was willing to believe Big Beardy's promise, but now he really doubted the credibility of the 'plan'. To be able to swim directly to Africa in such a short time, unify the grasslands and become the tribal chief, this style of ascetic had never appeared in a script before! Hao Ren now really wanted to meet the ascetic brother who was more powerful in combat (in all senses of the word), but he was afraid that the aura from Africa with the blessing of the chief would injure him. So in the end, he could only laugh awkwardly and go home with Big Beardy.
"In addition, I also got the 'lifeblood'," Hao Ren suddenly remembered something. "I want to study whether I can get in touch with the goddess through them. What do you suggest? "
"I know you don't believe in the goddess of creation, so just keep your respect." Big Beardy looked indifferent. He was very open-minded now. "But to be honest, I don't think you will succeed: to establish contact with the goddess requires a very devout belief. Even a monk who has been trained for many years will have a certain failure rate when establishing contact through a complete branding ritual. And a heretic who has never studied the scriptures is almost impossible to get the recognition of the lifeblood."
Hao Ren did not speak. He felt that his plan to study the lifeblood might not necessarily get the approval of Big Beardy, so it was better not to mention this topic.
Just as the two walked to the door, a loud bang suddenly came from the back of the house.
Hao Ren was startled by the loud noise. Before he could enter the house, he ran directly to the back of the house to see what was going on. The scene in front of him made him speechless.
The smoke had just dissipated in the open space behind the house, and a lot of messy mechanical things were scattered on the ground. They were all old cylinders, bearings, gears, and springs. It was obviously the explosion site of some kind of mechanical device. And a little girl in a black Gothic dress was sitting in the middle of the explosion pit. The little girl was black all over, holding a half-pulled pipe in her hand in a daze. Hearing someone approaching, the little girl turned her head cleverly, revealing a row of small white teeth on the lower half of her black face. "It's so exciting!"
Hao Ren held the wall next to him to prevent himself from falling. "Y 'lisabet … Can't you do something like conquering the world, bullying men and women, or finding two unlucky people to sign a slave contract or something like that?"
The little demon princess thought for a moment, opened her mouth and spat out a mouthful of black smoke. "My dad said that I have to wait until I finish primary school before I can conquer the world."
Hao Ren was speechless.
He felt that going to the other world to fight with the First Born was much easier than dealing with this bunch of weirdos at home! (It's a great event. The cool phone is waiting for you! Everyone has a prize. Follow qdread WeChat WeChat now!)
