Chapter 71 Sixteen Circles

Lu Ran realized it later, and then he realized:
The river that I just crossed was a boundary river.

This sculpture garden also looks like a chessboard.

The sculptures of the two camps stood facing each other across a river.

"I thought you were a god." Lu Ran said softly.

The black fire goat head floated quietly, without any sound.

Lu Ran slowly turned around and looked up at the Black Sheep Head:

“I can understand us trying to seize the source of the evil demon’s energy, after all, the two races of gods and demons cannot coexist.

But you also created these sculptures of gods?"

Having said that, it is already very thorough.

There was no need for Lu Ran to be too straightforward and just ask Xian Yang directly:
Do you also want to snatch the energy source of the gods, and ultimately control and enslave the gods?
The Black Fire Sheep Head said in a deep voice: "The gods have countless believers, constantly absorbing the faith of the human race and strengthening themselves.

This little bit of energy source is nothing."

Lu Ran: "That's not what you said when we were absorbing the energy source of the evil demon."

Black Fire Sheep Head: "How can gods be compared with evil demons?

Compared to demons, gods have a stable and powerful source of energy.

I mean the power of faith that you humans contribute all the time."

Lu Ran listened silently without saying anything.

After a long while, the Black Fire Sheep Head said in a hoarse voice: "Sure enough, you are not mentally prepared to face these divine sculptures."

Lu Ran remained silent.

The Black Sheep Leader suddenly asked, "What is a god?"

Lu Ran pursed his lips, and some memories came to his mind.

Once, the Black Sheep Leader also asked: What is evil?
Lu Ran remembered the answer clearly.

After a long while, he uttered something extremely treasonous: "A pile of stones?"

"Whoosh~" Black fire was fluttering on the black sheep's head.

Lu Ran looked up at the black sheep head, his heart trembling slightly.

Those dead sheep eyes should have been lifeless.

For the first time, Lu Ran saw a hint of smile in those pupils.

Seems like some appreciation?

Lu Ran: "Master Xianyang is also a god. Aren't you angry when I describe him like this?"

He was not stupid, and all these words were spoken under the guidance of the Black Sheep Leader.

In other words, Lu Ran knew that Black Sheep Leader wanted to hear this answer.

The black sheep head slowly floated up and looked down at the God Sculpture Garden: "These words should come from you."

Lu Ran's mind raced, and he asked tentatively, "Is it really okay for me to be so disrespectful to the gods?"

"Disrespectful?" Black Sheep Head snorted coldly, "More than disrespectful.

Have you ever believed in God?"

"Ah?" Lu Ran was completely confused.

Don't say this nonsense!

Lu Ran was born in an era where everyone worships God, and he was deeply limited by the times.

The family education, school education, and the whole society he received since childhood all told him:
Worship God!

Only gods can lead humans to resist evil.

Only God can allow human beings to continue the flame of life.

Lu Ran himself did the same.

He followed his father since he was young and worshipped the third-class god, Jade Talisman.

But now.
Lord Xianyang actually said to him: Have you never believed in God?

Isn't this pure nonsense?

If someone else said it, it would be equivalent to putting a hat on Lu Ran, enough to make him be despised by the world.

The one who said this was the god Xianyang?

this.
Lu Ran immediately said, "I think I am very pious to you."

Black Sheep Head: "Have you ever offered me three taels of food as an offering or burned half a stick of incense?"

Lu Ran was suddenly stuck.

After a long while, Lu Ran said, "Don't you live on faith?
You don’t need those mundane things, do you?”

"Yeah." This time, the Black Sheep Leader did not refute.

Everyone has his or her own way of worshipping gods, but ultimately, the gods feed on human beings’ “faith.”

From this perspective, Lu Ran certainly believes in God.

Just as Lu Ran was about to speak again, the Black Sheep Leader said, "When you were practicing in front of the shrine, did you ever pray devoutly?
Are you worshipping me or your own desires?"

Lu Ran:!!!
The Black Sheep Head said calmly: "Who are you worshipping, me or yourself?"

Lu Ran said nervously: "I... No, it shouldn't be like this.

I want you to become stronger more than anyone else. At least I am no worse than other Immortal Sheep believers!
Didn't Master Xianyang receive my share of faith?"

The Black Sheep Leader suddenly changed the subject: "Whether you believe in God or not, you don't need to worry about it.

What if I believe it? What if I don’t believe it?

Just a pile of rocks."

Lu Ran opened his mouth: "This..."

The Black Sheep Head said in a deep voice: "It is enough if you believe in gratitude and hatred, and in cause and effect."

Lu Ran tried hard to digest everything and did not respond for a long time.

He understood what the immortal sheep meant, and he also said that he would repay the favor.

The sun and the moon can witness my heart, so there is no need to say more.

"That's enough"

The Black Sheep Head looked down at the God Sculpture Garden and continued, "You have your own path and your own perseverance.

I will not force you to raise the butcher knife against your own kind or to capture the souls of human believers.

However, if the human soul returns here, it can leave peacefully.

In the future, if a comrade dies on the battlefield, you can escort him to his final journey."

Lu Ran frowned slightly and grasped a word: "Peaceful?"

Black Sheep Head: "After all living things die, their souls will eventually dissipate.

But you also know that there are many evil species that will harm the souls of human beings.

Death does not mean the end of suffering, but the beginning of suffering."

Hearing this, Lu Ran nodded heavily.

The best example is the evil demon Soul Breaker, which can imprison and torture the souls of humans to satisfy its own cruel nature.

In addition to the Soul-Splitting Demon, there are many other kinds of evil demons that possess such cruel methods.

Lu Ran suddenly thought of something: "Captain Lin died on the playground, very close to the teaching building!

Has the God Biwu discovered our existence?"

You know, every classroom in the teaching building is filled with statues of the little Biwu god!
Black Sheep Head: "I am always by your side, which has caused you to have some misunderstandings about the gods."

Lu Ran reacted for a moment and replied in a low voice: "Oh."

How difficult is it for humans in this world to communicate with gods?
No matter how devout you are or how much you beg, you may not be able to get even a single drop of mercy from the gods.

On the night of the fifteenth, how many battlefields were there all over Daxia, and how many Biwu believers were there?

Lu Ran found that he was wrong.

Regarding Captain Lin’s death, it’s not that the small statue in the shrine doesn’t care.

The greater possibility is that the god Biwu has never paid any attention to this place.
The night of the fifteenth is so special.

If the believers request the gods to cast spells or something, I'm afraid they will just grant all of their requests, and it's hard to keep track of it.

"Go back." The Black Sheep Head said in a low voice, "You can't rest here. You need to sleep."

Lu Ran suddenly asked: "Can I save my dead comrades?"

Now that we can capture the souls of human believers, can we take the next step?
Black Sheep Head: "That human has completely left. There is nothing you can do."

Lu Ran hurriedly asked: "What if another comrade dies in the future?
Is there anything I can do for my comrades?”

Black Sheep Leader: "You are just a creek, but your heart is higher than the sky."

Lu Ran: “.”

Xianyang's tone is very intriguing.

Lu Ran couldn't tell whether the other party was being sarcastic or praising him.

Maybe both.

At nightfall, in the office on the fourth floor of the teaching building.

Lu Ran woke up slowly and looked around.

The office was brightly lit, with students sitting or standing, and some sleeping soundly.

"Awake?" Deng Yutang was sitting beside Lu Ran's bed and noticed the movement first.

"Is it evening?" Lu Ran looked at the night scene outside the window.

I just stayed up all night and shouldn't have slept so long.

It seems that as Lord Xianyang said, I can't get a real rest in the Evil Demon Sculpture Park and the God and Demon Sculpture Park.

Fortunately, I had already informed my family that I was safe in the morning.

Otherwise, my mother and sister would be very worried.

"Nothing to do today, don't worry." Deng Yutang said softly, "Would you like to eat something?"

"Thank you. I'm not too hungry." Lu Ran thanked him softly and got up from the bed quietly.

Despite this, many students still looked over here.

Since someone was sleeping in the office, most of the students nodded and didn't say anything.

"I'm going to the bathroom." Lu Ran said softly, patted Deng Yutang on the shoulder, and walked out of the office.

On the upper bunk, Jiang Ruyi slowly stood up and watched Lu Ran leave.

Lu Ran walked into the bathroom and washed his face thoroughly, feeling much more awake.

He leaned his hands on the sink, turned his head slightly, and saw the moonlight pouring on the windowsill.

Then, Lu Ran walked over as if possessed.

Through evil dharma and evil knowledge, he saw a lot.

The playground, which was in chaos before, has been cleaned up.

But traces of human blood can still be vaguely seen.

Lu Ran’s mind was filled with scenes from the previous battle.

Looking around, in the southeast corner of the playground, one of the swing boards was broken, with only two iron chains tied to the broken wood, swinging back and forth.

Lu Ran stared for a while, then turned and walked out.

The journey was relatively smooth, and the Moon Watcher did not stop Lu Ran from going out, after all, the fifteenth night had passed.

Wangyue just gave Lu Ran a few words of advice, telling him not to leave the school and not to leave the garrison area of ​​the troops.

"call"

Lu Ran stood at the entrance of the teaching building and breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking up,

The moon on the 15th is indeed fuller on the 16th.

He walked through last night's battlefield step by step, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.

Finally, Lu Ran came to the southeast corner and stood in front of the broken swing.

“Galala.”

The swing board was broken, so Lu Ran removed the broken wooden boards from the iron chain and tied the two chains together.

Should I still be able to sit?
Lu Ran looked at it again and again, then sat down gently.

Well, other than a slightly cold butt, no big problem.

"Yutang said you're not hungry." A gentle female voice suddenly came.

In fact, it was not surprising. With the help of evil magic and evil consciousness, Lu Ran had already noticed someone approaching.

Jiang Ruyi held out a small piece of bread and handed it over: "Would you like to try it?"

"Thank you." Lu Ran did not refuse and opened the package.

One bite and your mouth is filled with the aroma of milk.

Lu Ran thought Jiang Ruyi would say something.

However, he thought too much.

The girl simply sat on another swing, rocking gently back and forth.

Just like last night in front of the window in the teaching building, she just quietly watched the moon with him without saying a word.

Jiang Ruyi is gentle and strong.

After the tragic experience last night, she still tried to stay calm.

Of course, she was not like Lu Ran, who witnessed the death of his comrades and the tragic deaths with his own eyes.

The impact is hard to express in words.

She was also not like Lu Ran, who once again witnessed the souls of her comrades completely disappear in front of her in the spiritual world.

"After the blockade is lifted, shall we go to the north of Tianjin to kill the Soul-Splitting Demon?" Lu Ran spoke softly, breaking the silence.

Jiang Ruyi turned around and looked over.

Under the beautiful moonlight, she smiled gently: "Okay."

　Thanks to the clown in the eyes of a madman, the sugar-free paradise, the itchy rice wine head, and the clear sky after the rain. I only ask for the rewards from the bosses of Taohuayuan! Thank you for your support, the bosses are generous!
