Chapter 35 Chapter 35 In the woods, lush green vines...

In the woods, green vines crawled on the ground like snakes. The surrounding wind gently blew the leaves, making rustling sounds. The rustling sounds covered up the crawling sounds of the vines.

The vines produced small purple fruits, which were hidden under the green leaves and were not conspicuous. Suddenly, the fruits broke, and a lot of purple powder like mushroom spores gushed out from them.

The purple powder floated in the air with the wind, and its color dissipated, but it became more concealed. The people sitting nearby to rest did not notice the appearance of the powder.

They breathed and breathed, breathing in all the powder, and before they knew it, they were unconscious, blinked their eyes, and fell into hallucinations.

Apos was no exception, but he did not realize it was an illusion at first. He just closed his eyes, sat on the stone, and prayed silently.

"If you really exist, please forgive my mistakes and ignorance for the sake of my being a devout believer, point out the way forward for me, and let me know that I am still under your protection and bathed in glory." Apos murmured to himself.

Suddenly he heard footsteps, the sound of dry and fragile leaves being crushed.

He suddenly opened his eyes, stood up, and asked, "Who?"

The person who came stopped, his face was blurred, and there was a sun-like glow behind him. All that could be seen was that he was wearing white clothes, his face was kind and gentle, and his eyes were gentle and compassionate.

"You asked me to show you the way forward, so I came." The man said in an extremely gentle voice.

Apos was a little dazed, and somehow believed the other person's words. He asked hesitantly, "Then who are you?"

"Yes," the man said with a smile, "I am the object of your heart's prayers."

Apos knelt down, lowered his head, and asked in a daze, "Which way should I take to find the space crack that needs to be sealed?"

"Raise your head." The man's voice suddenly became much more solid.

Apos looked up, and as if struck by lightning, he was horrified and speechless. It took him a long time before he uttered a sound as thin as a mosquito's whisper: "You, why is it you?"

It turned out that a face suddenly appeared in front of him, it was Bai Tianming's face.

Bai Tianming smiled and squatted down, looking him in the eye and asked him, "Can't it be me?"

Apostle was instantly filled with rage and shame, as if he had been fooled. His face flushed crimson. He stood up, glared at Bai Tianming, and cursed, "You vile son of a demon! How dare you deceive me? I will banish your soul and make you repent in hell forever!"

As he spoke, he took off the flower from his neck. There was a flash of white light, and the flower turned into a long sword. He swung the sword and chopped the man in half.

Bai Tianming stood up and appeared behind him. Like a ghost, he whispered in his ear with a half-smile, "I came here with good intentions to show you the way, so why are you trying to kill me? You were the one who asked! I showed you everything. If you can't see clearly, don't blame me."

Apos turned around and stabbed the person behind him with his sword. The person was like the surface of the water hit by a stone, creating ripples, and then burst like a bubble, leaving no trace.

Apos was so angry that he stabbed his sword into the soft ground and cursed: "Damn devil! Rogue! Don't think you can mistake me for those ignorant fools! I am not as easily fooled as they are! The best you can do is deceive those donkeys who can only moan! When I catch you, I will fill your mouth with burning coals so that you can never speak again! I wonder if you dare to come again!"

He suddenly woke up, the hallucinations disappeared, and he found himself still sitting on the stone, while his companions around him had faces covered with a thin layer of purple powder, their expressions distorted and hideous, sometimes struggling, sometimes indulging, as if they were being rewarded in the glory of heaven, and as if they were being roasted in the flames of hell.

He woke up his companions one by one, and the purple powder disappeared. After leaving the hallucination, his companions were sweating profusely. They opened their eyes and found themselves still sitting on the stone. They couldn't help but uttered thanks to God at the same time.

"The Temple blesses us!"

"The Holy Scripture also blesses us!"

"It's great that we didn't get hurt at all!"

"We can't stay here any longer," Apos said to them with a serious expression, holding his sword in his hand. He was alert to the changes that might happen at any time. "This place is not safe enough. Let's leave here quickly!"

"Then where should we go? Forward or backward?" People stood up and looked at him and asked.

"Let's go forward first! Going back may not be safe." Apos made a quick decision and said to them.

People nodded and followed him, walking forward. He remained vigilant as he walked, and only relaxed a little when they left the forest and saw people not far away.

He slowed down and said to the people behind him, "Maybe we can go over and ask about the situation. That would help us find the space rift."

He really didn't want to admit it. The moment he said this, Bai Tianming's face appeared in his mind, as if the Bai Tianming in the illusion was still talking to him, warning him that if he continued to move forward, he would not find what he was looking for.

Apos dispelled the image in Bai Tianming's mind and turned to look behind him. Everyone followed him. When they saw him looking over, they nodded and agreed, "We understand."

He turned his head forward again, said nothing, and continued walking forward, as if he had not thought of anything just now.

At the same time, Bai Tianming, who was about to see the demons, paused subtly.

Sada, who noticed that he had returned from a distance, stood up and approached him. Seeing that he was motionless, he thought something had happened, so he quickened his pace and walked over, but saw nothing.

"What's wrong?" Sada looked around and found that Bai Tianming still had that subtle and strange expression on his face, so he asked with some confusion.

Bai Tianming raised his eyebrows, as if tasting a cup of complex coffee, with a strange smile on his face: "Nothing." It was just that someone suddenly thought of him, the distance was too close, too pious, and they just happened to have come into contact with him, so he clearly sensed what the other person was thinking.

The object of Apos's prayers was him, but Apos himself did not know that the object of his prayers was right here. So, when Bai Tianming thought about how Apos looked very alert when he saw him, turned around and didn't walk far, and then prayed so devoutly, it felt a bit subtle.

"Okay," Sada could see that Bai Tianming was holding back, but since Bai Tianming didn't want to talk about it, he wasn't very curious, so he didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he pulled Bai Tianming back and said, "It's almost noon. Have you decided what to eat for lunch today?"

"I'm thinking about it." Bai Tianming blinked: "How about loofah?"

"I didn't realize you would like that kind of thing." Sada turned his head and looked at him, a little surprised.

"Not that I like it," Bai Tianming's face showed that subtle expression again, with a smile on the corner of his lips. He just sensed the situation over there, and from the vines he thought of the loofah, thinking that the two things were a bit similar, and maybe they would taste good. "Actually, this is not very delicious."

"Before we came here," Sada let go of his hand, sat on the stone, looked at him and asked, "were you living on wind and dew? I don't believe it. You don't seem like the kind of person..."

He hesitated, as if choosing an adjective, and frowned slightly. "You have no interest in food. Whether as a human or a demon, you seem to be expecting something."

"Yes," Bai Tianming sat beside him, looking at the flower fields not far away that had expanded many times, feeling the breeze brushing against his face, and nodded. "Sometimes I feel that eating is really boring, so I don't want to do it. Sometimes I feel that it is also a very interesting thing, so I want to do it. It just depends on whether I want to do it or not, not whether I am hungry or not."

"So," Sada pondered, trying to summarize, "you don't have to eat three meals a day. You just make a rough plan before things start, and follow it, but you don't have to stick to it. It's actually quite flexible, you can do whatever you want, right?"

Bai Tianming had a premonition that he was going to talk about something hellish, so he nodded and moved a little further to the side.

Sadah approached Bai Tianming and asked tentatively, "Would you like to go back to Hell with me? Hell may not be as beautiful as here, but when it comes to freedom, there's no place more comfortable than Hell. And you're so powerful, you won't be bullied anywhere. Besides, I'm here for you. I'd rather serve you as before. Will you come back with me?"

Bai Tianming frowned, stood up, and refused, saying, "I'll go when I have time, but I don't want to go now."

"Okay." Sada sighed, then stood up, lowered his eyes, and seemed a little sad. He said slowly: "I'll wait for the day when you want to go."

Bai Tianming began to think that his attitude was too tough. After thinking for a while, he said to him, "If you like it, why don't you go back? You are the strongest there. The demons all listen to you. Why should I go back?"

"I like that place, but I also like this place," Sada frowned, staring at Bai Tianming with a dim gaze, and said slowly, "When you go back, they will still listen to me, but they will listen to you more. I don't mind. Do you mind?"

Sada took a step forward, approaching Bai Tianming. He narrowed his eyes and carefully examined the expression opposite him. A subtle sneer appeared on his face, like a math teacher suddenly wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. His temperament suddenly became distant. He asked, "Do you mind me?"
