Chapter 694 A bowl of hot wine
On the second floor of the restaurant, the two of them were sitting on the railing, their eyes falling on the family of four downstairs.
The family had just rushed in hastily and had a slight argument. Now the quarrel had subsided. The parents looked frightened and looked back at the opposite door from time to time, whispering to comfort the two frightened children.
"Tsk, tsk, that's pitiful."
The speaker was a woman in a purple shirt, with a pair of bright peach blossom eyes full of compassion. She poured a bowl of warm hot wine for herself and the man opposite.
The man picked up the wine bowl, looked at the steam swaying on the wine, and sneered: "Pity? I'm afraid that not long after, everyone in the world will be in this situation."
The two of them spoke very softly, fearing that such treacherous words would be heard.
The woman frowned slightly when she heard this, lowered her eyes and sighed softly: "If this were not the case, how could the head master's aunt urge us to rush to the snowy mountains to do chores..."
The man was silent, pouring the wine alone and drinking it all in one gulp, as if he didn't want to talk much.
After a moment of silence, the woman spoke again: "Brother, I see these people... don't look like those who have been seriously cultivated. Can they really deal with the things in that house?"
Her eyes remained on the opposite door, and her expression became even more worried.
The man shook his head: "The woman in green shirt can tell you that the monsters inside are close to the level of disaster. We have just understood the true realm. If there is such a thing, entering it will lead to death."
The woman still refused to give up: "But senior brother, do you believe that the spiritual weapon in her hand can really detect the strength of the monster?"
The man put down his wine cup and said in a slightly solemn tone: "Believe it. I have seen that thing at the head master's aunt. The head master's aunt also said that if it cooperates with the Skynet system that is now emerging in Chang'an, a situation like Mobei will happen. Maybe it can be greatly reduced.”
The woman's eyes instantly lit up and she asked in a low voice: "I've always wanted to ask, Senior Brother Qiu, is this the purpose of the Head Master's aunt wanting us to go to the snowy mountains? Is it hoped that we can do such a thing?"
< br>
"You don't know yet?" The man was surprised.
"I asked the master and he said that he recommended me to go because the snowy mountains can provide refuge, and the head master said that we should study hard and not think too much. I don't know why..." The woman said, feeling a little confused. "Senior Brother Qiu, you have studied a lot with the master aunt, maybe you know?"
"Actually, what your master and aunt said are right." The man nodded and said calmly.
"So, what kind of invention do you really want us to make?" the woman asked with a wink.
"Of course, it is the most appropriate thing for you and me to do this as the most outstanding young disciple of the Tiangong lineage in Guanzhao Peak."
The woman hesitated for a moment, "But why don't master and aunt go by themselves?"
The man laughed: "As they get older, do you think they can still work as handymen?"
The woman frowned and retorted: "But they can become monks?"
"To be a research fellow, you have to meet the number of publications and pass the assessment. Is it so easy?"
"Furthermore, the head master also said that we are still young and creative, but their thinking has become rigid when they are old. I am afraid that they will not achieve much if they go."
The man said, shaking his head and sighing.
The woman was slightly stunned after hearing this, and there was a hint of inexplicable sadness in her heart.
Thinking of the earnest eyes of her elders when she left Guanzhao Peak, she couldn't help but secretly clenched her fists with a firm gaze: "No matter what, I must be admitted to the Snow Mountain!"
The man looked pessimistic and shook his head slightly:
"Let everything be left to fate. Even if you are determined, you may not be able to achieve your wish. You see, more and more monks are gathering in Sudan City now, and each sect is rushing towards this heavenly road leading to the snow-capped mountains."< br>
The woman thought of the reason, and her eyes were filled with sadness: "Yes... Sudan is the closest to the snow-capped mountains, and it is now the only shortcut. The roads to heaven in other countries are either far away, or have long been swallowed up by the sea of abyss, and are filled with strange things, making it impossible to pass at all. …”
"The world is in danger. I heard from the elders who went to the temple..." The man walked around in a circle and whispered, "Even the temple is in dire straits now. They are even studying countermeasures behind closed doors. The temple is even more... Without support, I have no time to take care of myself.”
The woman looked at the opposite door again, frowning: "But even so, facing the current matter, they shouldn't show up for so long."
The man sneered: "If it is really a disaster-level monster, the high priest will have to come in person. But the high priest is always busy with everything, how can it be so fast?"
The woman curled her lips in dissatisfaction: "What about the priest who came to blackmail them this morning? Isn't it his jurisdiction? Where are the people?"
The man disagreed: "Have you forgotten? Didn't these people plead with the temple not to interfere? Now they are doing it themselves." "But if the evil really breaks out, these onlookers will suffer!"
"That's their business," the man said in a cold tone, "Mobei people are responsible for the troubles in Mobei. Let's just watch the excitement, okay?"
"Brother, you are too cold-blooded."
"If you are too immersed in the entanglements of the world, you may not be able to keep a calm mind. This is even more important when you come to the snowy mountains."
But the woman stubbornly shook her head: "If you don't understand the world, how can you save the world?"
The man glanced at her lightly and said in a low tone: "The teachings of the divine book...are already outdated."
The woman was shocked when she heard this and stared at him in disbelief.
"Even the priests don't care about the teachings of the divine book, but you still care about it?" the man sneered.
The woman shook her head stubbornly: "I don't believe they really don't care. If this evil really breaks out, the priest will never stand idly by. I almost died in the evil when I was a child, but the priest saved me. Even if there is another way, I will not Be willing to doubt the temple..."
"You saw what happened this morning, do you still think so?"
The woman shook her head stubbornly: "Although there are scum among them, I will not kill everyone with a stick."
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
The man smiled and said, "Why don't we take a bet, will this evil thing break out first, or will the so-called priest arrive first?"
Before he finished speaking, an announcement suddenly came from downstairs: "The priest is here, please give way!"
Both of them were stunned and quickly looked around.
I saw a soft sedan being carried by the servants of the gods. In the sedan sat a priest in red, while the priest Hayik from the morning was dragging his feet dejectedly aside.
It was late at night, and there were only a few people watching, but when they saw this red dress, they recognized it as the famous Priest Elaine of the temple, and immediately knelt on the ground with a respectful look on his face.
The family of four downstairs were waiting uneasily. After hearing the noise, they quickly stood up, with a look of surprise on their faces. The father couldn't help but muttered:
"It's the Great Priest Elaine... He can be saved, he can be saved!"
The woman in purple shirt looked at this scene and couldn't help turning her head to glance at the man proudly, "Look, the one who came is not even an ordinary priest, but a great priest! It means that the temple is still..."
However, the words were stopped, because Senior Brother Qiu seemed to be completely unable to hear her taunts, and just looked straight at the mansion opposite, as if he had lost his mind.
The woman was confused and followed his gaze. After a moment, the smile on her face suddenly solidified and was replaced by shock.
The door of the house opposite is already open.
A woman in a green shirt slowly walked out of the house holding a depressed-looking woman on her arm. The woman's face was pale, but she still looked sober.
The woman in green shirt walked steadily, her eyes were cold, and she was as calm as if she had just done an ordinary and trivial matter.
Behind them, a chubby old man was holding one person in each hand, like two soft rabbits.
And further back, there was the man in rich clothes, dragging two people with one on his back. With exhaustion written on his face, he walked out of the door step by step with difficulty, and finally collapsed on the ground, gasping for breath, as if exhausted. Full body strength.
"Is this... the end?"
The woman looked at this scene in disbelief and murmured softly.
At the gate, the second son of the Zolkin family was supporting the frail woman who came out of the house. The two of them held each other's arms and cried, their tears filled with the joy of surviving the disaster.
The woman in purple clothes looked back at the man, her eyes full of inquiry, but she saw that the man had a similarly confused look on his face, as if he still didn't fully understand what was going on.
"It seems... right?" The man answered hesitantly.
How long has it been since then?
The two looked at each other, then looked at the bowl of hot wine that had just been poured in front of the woman.
The heat was still rising, as if it had never dissipated.
