Chapter 77

"What happened next?"

I don't know who asked the question, but the black flames suddenly started burning and nothing was left.

Those who had taken shelter in advance survived and were looking around from behind the charred vegetation, cautiously poking their heads out, like a newly hatched turtle on the beach trying to resist being preyed upon by seagulls.

Someone yelled, "I want to go home."

"Then go down the mountain. If you can reach the foot of the mountain, it's your luck. Most people don't have that kind of luck anyway. It doesn't matter. Who do you think would meddle in other people's business? If someone meddles in you, then they are mentally ill. They can't even take care of themselves, so how can they care about others? They are complete idiots. I'm not humiliating you. I'm stating a fact."

A bored man sitting on the ground took a look and answered.

The crowd split into two, some people hurriedly ran down the mountain, and some sat there without moving, as if they wanted to rest for a while longer.

Some people stood up from the ground, thought for a while, and seemed to have made up their minds. They fumbled on the ground for a while, suddenly withdrew their hands, and uttered a cry, as if they were burned by the temperature of the ground. Then they quickly held their hands and left the crowd. Judging from the direction, they were walking towards the Taoist temple.

“I don’t know why they want to go back after finally getting out.”

"Why else? Of course, if we don't go back, we can't leave here. Compared to going back to the Taoist temple, everyone wants to go home more. Isn't this a normal thing?"

"Things are normal, but few people go in there like they do. What do they want to do? It looks weird and sneaky. Do you know?"

"Yes, they want to set this place on fire. Anyway, it's very hot here and it has just been burned by fire. It's very easy for them to find some sparks to burn. They found it very quickly and will probably reach the place very soon. They will drop the things in their hands on the ground and try their best to make the flames burn. We can see it even if we sit here."

"The kind that you can see clearly?"

"yes."

The crowd quieted down.

The Taoist temple was on fire.

After a while, the flames gradually died down, and the Taoist temple there was surprisingly clean as new and looked very beautiful.

The Taoist temple is much more beautiful than the previous gray and gloomy appearance. Looking at it from a distance, it makes people speechless and sad, and also feels a little absurd.

No one spoke, and the scene became even quieter than before.

A huge black fire suddenly emerged from the ground, and the Taoist temple emitted a rumbling sound, as if some monster was announcing its return.

It was a huge alchemy furnace with fire still burning on the ground. The wind could not put out the fire, nor could it blow the alchemy furnace over. It could only make a louder noise, which made people feel very irritated.

The crowd stared at the situation over there. Some of them were so shocked that they slowly stood up from the ground. They were not ready to leave because they felt that they could not go home if they went downstairs. Instead of doing useless work, they might as well rest here. But now they don't think so anymore.

Rest is not the most important thing. It would be great if they could leave here. That's where they should go.

Thinking this way, they slowly walked forward and came to the side of the huge furnace. There was actually a small door here. This was incredible. Who would install a small door at the bottom of their own furnace? And it was a small door leading to the inside of the furnace.

What are you going to do?

Cheating? Murder? Disposing of corpses? Or setting himself on fire?

The crowd gradually poured in until it was completely empty outside, as if there was no one there.

The flames in the alchemy furnace burned more fiercely, and there was a crackling sound inside, as if someone brought a lot of firecrackers. Then, the alchemy furnace suddenly exploded, and only a huge black pill like a heart was left inside. Or maybe this was the so-called elixir.

However, it is still unknown whether eating it can really make you immortal.

A group of people climbed up from below. They seemed to have just arrived here and were about to find a suitable place nearby to rest. They were sweating profusely, their clothes were sticking to their skin, their shoes were a little loose, as if they would fall off at any time, their hair was disheveled, and their eyes were squinted, as if they were stimulated by the flames and the sun at the same time and could not open their eyes completely.

They greeted the park: "Hello, what are you and your friends doing here?"

Paradise replied: “Rest.”

The crowd sat beside them and asked, "How long have you been resting here?"

“It’s been a while.”

“Is it safe here?”

"I don't know. It doesn't look safe, but if you don't run around, maybe it's safe."

"Then we'll rest here, do you mind?"

"No problem."

"Do you know what happened here?"

"I'm not sure, I just know that a lot of people died."

"Are there any dead people you know?"

"I'm not sure, because the faces of the dead are blurry."

"Where's the body?"

"After being burned, they turned into ashes and fell to the ground. You can see the black ground. Those are the corpses."

"So that's what happened. It sounds pretty scary. It's great that you can sit here and rest for a while. Is there any loss?"

"no."

"So it's true that if you stay as still as a mountain you won't get hurt?"

“I don’t know.”

"How come you don't know anything?"

"That's right. If I knew everything, I would be omniscient and omnipotent. If I were omniscient and omnipotent, I would be God. If I were God, what would I say in front of you?"

"Well, let's just pretend you don't know anything. We don't know this, we don't know that, and we want to ask for help. Do you think you can help?"

"I don't know, how can you help me?"

"I haven't thought about it yet. I'll tell you later."

As the crowd spoke, they stood up and moved a distance away, as if they were worried that Paradise was eavesdropping on their conversation and would attack them when they were not paying attention.

Caution is necessary in this area, but they still look very annoying.

I feel like I just hate you but I still want to show it out in the open.

Leyuan frowned uncomfortably.

That group of people was a little further away from the park.

"Why don't we just kill that guy now? Maybe we can get something useful. Things won't lie."

"That may not be the case. Maybe we didn't meet him. Who knows? What if we kill him and we die with him? Will you take responsibility? Can you afford that responsibility? I don't want to gamble my life with you. I tell you, if you insist on doing such a dangerous thing when you are not sure, I am not against concessions, but I have to kill you first and let the person go alone."

"That's better off."

The crowd was discussing when two people suddenly appeared on the opposite road, pulling each other. They seemed to be a man and a woman. For safety reasons, everyone held their breath, looked at each other quietly, and hid carefully, making sure not to attract attention at the first possible moment.

The scene suddenly became much quieter, and the sound of the two people arguing became louder.

"If you seek benevolence, you will get benevolence. If you seek death, you will die. If you seek life, you will live. Whether you can survive or not depends entirely on yourself. How can you blame others?"

The woman muttered to herself.

The man pulled her arm and shouted, "I don't care. It's none of my business! Don't be so weird here. I tell you, it's very dangerous here. Don't take it lightly. When you die, you will know how earnestly I reminded you. If it was an ordinary person here, I would be too lazy to meddle in other people's business! Don't be so stubborn. You don't know the good people's heart."

The woman stopped, turned her head and looked at the man. She stared at him for a while, showing an expression that was almost a sneer, and asked in a low voice: "Are you really doing this for my own good or are you just pretending to do this? I see that you are yelling here just to kill me here, right? Are there other people here? They are all your companions. You want to torture me, right? I won't let you succeed!"

As she spoke, she exerted force with her arms to shake the man's hand off her body.

The man was caught off guard and did not react to the other party's intention. Instead, he grabbed the woman's arm even harder. The woman's face instantly turned red and pale. She stared at the man's face. Her eyes were almost pure black, which looked very penetrating. Her face was particularly pale, and the whole person looked like a corpse that crawled out from the ground.

"Don't be shameless."

The woman said in a threatening tone.

"Who is so shameless?!"

The man also felt somewhat wronged, but he couldn't tell whether he was angry out of shame, so he started shouting even louder.

The woman looked around to see if there were people lying in ambush. She found nothing, but she was very uneasy. She glared at the man and cursed, "You brainless idiot, you self-righteous hypocritical gentleman, let go of my hand! You still have the nerve to tell me that you have good intentions. Who would be so kind as to grab the body of the opposite sex and not let go? You are such a wicked person."

The man was stunned for a moment, then slowly loosened his hand, lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry, I did it subconsciously. I was in a hurry and didn't inform you. Who knows if you will suddenly disappear? I was also thinking about my own safety. Your safety is safety, but mine is not? Can't I think about myself?"

"Why did you pull me in for your own safety? Do you want me to block the knife for you?"

The woman sneered.

"That's not the case!"

the man shouted again.

"Then tell me. How is it?"

The woman stared at him and asked.

"I can't explain it clearly right now, but I've said everything I need to say on the way here."

The man turned his head away, sweating profusely, looking a bit like he had given up on himself.

The woman snorted and walked away. The man followed her closely and whispered, "I..."
