A man in a black robe came out and respectfully welcomed Xiao Ming in.
Li Mengmeng looked to both sides and the atmosphere around her became tense.
Especially those who were wearing black robes, with most of their faces hidden in their hats, giving people a sense of fear.
These people are like the religious elements you see in movies.
Xiao Ming led her forward without saying a word during the whole process.
Li Mengmeng looked around in fear.
The entire warehouse has been renovated and all elements are black.
Moreover, everyone here behaved strangely, and now dozens of people in black robes were kneeling in a circle in the center.
They prostrated themselves on the ground, praying devoutly.
Everything in the room seemed strange, and the person standing aside stood there with an expressionless face.
All people are like soulless bodies and can be manipulated at will.
"Xiao Ming, what, what is this place?" Li Mengmeng seemed a little panicked.
This place was full of weirdness, and these people were like puppets being manipulated, which made her feel very uncomfortable.
"This is my secret." Xiao Ming pointed to the stage.
I saw a huge platform built right in front of me, and on the platform was a cross.
In the center of the cross, a body was pierced through the back.
The corpse seemed to have died not long ago, with an expression of fear and struggle on its face.
Li Mengmeng screamed, she took a few steps back and fell to the ground with a thud.
She struggled backwards, her eyes wide open and trembling.
"I said, it's not the right time to tell you now." Xiao Ming sighed and stood in front of Li Mengmeng, blocking her view.
But the scene she just saw had such a huge impact on Li Mengmeng that she couldn't recover for a long time.
"What on earth is going on? Xiao Ming, tell me, what is this for?"
Li Mengmeng calmed herself down and looked around, only to see people around her still kneeling and praying devoutly.
They are indifferent to the things around them, as if they are in a state of selflessness and everything around them is just a passing cloud.
"The place we are in is a base of the Tongsheng Association."
Xiao Chen looked around and pointed at the devout and fanatical crowd: "These people are all very fanatical believers."
"Society of Companions? What is that?" A confused look appeared on Li Mengmeng's face.
She didn't quite understand what the Tongshenghui meant, but judging from the name of the organization and everything in front of her, it seemed to be some kind of cult?
"Everyone has the right to see the truth of this world, but people are all covered by the dust of the world, so they cannot see the true nature of the world."
He pointed toward the stage and said, "True knowledge can allow you to truly understand the truth of this world."
"As long as your heart is sincere enough, you will be accepted by true knowledge."
“Everyone around you is accepted by true knowledge.”
Li Mengmeng gritted her teeth, suppressed her inner fear, and stood up: "Is this the secret you don't want to tell me?"
"Mengmeng, you are too innocent and kind." Xiao Ming sighed: "Until I am sure enough, I don't want you to see these things."
"Because I'm afraid you can't accept it."
"But if I don't tell you my secret, then I'm hiding something from you."
"Now I have shown you my true self without reservation. Look, are you satisfied?"
"Mingming." Li Mengmeng reached out and held Xiao Ming's hand: "Thank you for trusting me."
"I can accept you and all your secrets."
"Can you accept these?" Xiao Ming was stunned and looked at Li Mengmeng with some surprise.
"There's nothing unacceptable, although I still don't fully understand the true meaning of knowledge."
"But I believe that everything in this world has its own meaning."
Li Mengmeng looked at Xiao Ming gently: "Just like me, the meaning of my existence is to meet you."
"Mengmeng..." Xiao Ming was instantly moved. He reached out and held Li Mengmeng's hand, so excited that he didn't know what to say.
"My aunt is the spokesperson for true knowledge in this world."
"I'll introduce you to her when she comes back."
“Let us, together, become the spokespersons for true knowledge in the world.”
"Okay." Li Mengmeng nodded heavily. Deep in her eyes, there was a glimmer that Xiao Ming could not understand.
Overseas, Xiaomo Village.
Today's Xiaomo Village has undergone tremendous changes.
Before this, Lao Mo bravely fought and killed Sangbo, and took advantage of the situation to incorporate Sangbo's remaining troops.
Then we established our own hill, and now all the young and middle-aged men in the village have returned.
The villagers of Xiaomo Village have never been so happy.
After all, they were only bullied by local warlords before, but now they feel like they are in charge.
Old Wen has changed completely since that incident.
He is no longer as taciturn as before.
He began to become sharp and aggressive, like a sword drawn from its sheath.
He also has strong organizational skills. After this period of training, the young and middle-aged men in the village are like veterans coming off the battlefield.
The changes in Lao Wen were beyond Ah Hua's expectations.
She made soup for Lao Wen that day and sent it to his camp.
Old Wen has just discussed the next steps with his men.
"I just made this soup, try it." Lao handed the soup in his hand to Lao Wen.
"Thank you." Lao Wen nodded gently, smiled, and then took the soup from Ah Hua's hand.
The soup is made with wild mushrooms collected from the local mountains and stewed with free-range chickens.
After stewing for several hours, the meat has been stewed until it is boneless and very delicious.
"It tastes very good." Lao Wen took a few sips and nodded slightly.
"Then drink more." Ah Hua smiled slightly.
"Ahua, have you thought about the future?" Lao Wen looked up and asked.
"No, I haven't thought about it." Ah Hua said hesitantly after meeting Lao Wen's gaze.
She didn't know how to respond to Lao Wen. She just felt that she didn't dare to look Lao Wen in the eye.
"We still have to consider the future." Old Wen sighed.
He raised his head, looked at the green mountains in the distance, and murmured, "Sooner or later, you will have to walk out of the mountains and see the world outside."
"Lao Wen, who are you?" Ah Hua asked with all her courage.
"I am Lao Wen, the Lao Wen you rescued from the river." Lao Wen said with a smile.
"Can't you really remember what happened in the past?" Ah Hua asked.
"I can't remember, and I still can't remember now." Old Wen shook his head.
"But I feel that you are different now than before." Ah Hua paused and said.
"Oh, why is it different?" Lao Wen looked at Ah Hua in confusion.
