Chapter 159 The Poisoned Ancient Town 4



According to past experience, this Zhang Xianren does sound like a boss. But it doesn't matter, the boss is what they are least afraid of.

Zhang Xianren is very famous in this town. Generally, the charlatans in TV dramas are called half-immortals, but he is called an immortal, so you can imagine his status in the hearts of the people. Just ask around and you will know where he is.

Zhang Xianren lives in a temple in the east of the town and is the chief bishop of that temple.

After asking along the way, the crowd finally found the temple and almost scared them at the time. There are too many people, there are really too many people in the temple.

Before, I didn't meet many people on the street, but this temple is full of people inside and outside. There are people kneeling inside, and there are a lot of people standing outside who want to go in and kneel.

The nine of them came here, but they couldn't squeeze in for a while.

"There are too many people." Yu Xiao wiped his sweat and looked at Tang Xingyin, "We are all doing ghost business, why is your Taoist temple so deserted?"

Tang Xingyin put his hands on his chest, and said nothing with a sour face.

This temple is quite strange. Everything in this town looks like the old towns in China. But in such an ancient town, there is actually a very Western temple.

It can't be said to be very Western, because this temple is a Gothic building. In addition to the reliefs of angels and demons on the wall, there are also reliefs like the flying gods in Dunhuang.

Not only that, the clergy standing at the door are wearing black robes, and the believers kneeling inside are not praying but burning incense. The whole temple was filled with smoke, which made people feel confused.

"This style is quite mixed." Zhao Lan couldn't help but complain, "Are we going in like this?"

"What else?" Yu Qinglang said, "With our strength, is it necessary to go around?"

That's right, Yu smiled and said, "Then go in."

The nine of them were not conspicuous among the crowd of pilgrims. They finally squeezed to the door, and suddenly a hand stretched out in front of them to stop them.

It was a priest in a black robe. He looked to be in his twenties, with an ordinary appearance, but his expression was very cold.

"What are you doing here?" The other party looked at everyone with an unusually cold expression, not the kind of look he gave to ordinary strangers. The look was like the look of a person in a bad mood walking on the road and glimpsing a few ants on the ground, cold, indifferent and a little bit annoyed.

Yu Xiao said, "We want to see the immortal Zhang."

The other party didn't show any surprise when he heard Yu Xiao's words, but just said, "Only the most devout believers can see the immortal."

Yu Xiao had to ask, "What is considered the most devout believer?" The other

party pointed to the side after hearing it. Yu Xiao turned her head and saw a merit box there, and the believers were constantly putting money into it.

Yu Xiao was speechless. She rarely saw such a down-to-earth scene in the dungeon. She turned her head to look at her friends. Everyone had a complicated mood.

"We don't have money." Yu Xiao asked, "If we don't have money, do we still have a chance to see the immortal?"

The other party still said the same thing, "Only the most devout believers can see the immortal."

"Okay." Wang Dongdong clapped his hands, "There's no way to communicate this, let's use force. I'll hold the gatekeeper here, you go in and find Zhang Xianren."

Everyone was not a person who liked to follow the rules, and Wang Dongdong's suggestion was immediately accepted. The next moment Wang Dongdong punched the priest in the face, and the scene suddenly became chaotic. Others hurriedly took the opportunity to walk into the temple.

The temple was very large, and it was densely packed with people kneeling inside. They were very pious, and even though it was a mess outside, it failed to attract their attention. They still knelt on the ground motionlessly, muttering to themselves.

Yu Xiao looked up and saw a huge statue on top of the temple. It was a distorted human figure, with abnormal distortions from expression to body, and seemed to be suffering from unbearable pain. Yu Xiao felt uncomfortable at the first sight. Is this the god they believe in?

The clergy stood around the group of kneeling believers. When they saw the eight of them coming in but not kneeling, they gathered around.

Zhou Xiaozhen shouted, "We want to see Immortal Zhang!"

"Only the most devout believers can see the immortal." The leading clergyman was a man in his forties, with a dry and stiff face, and a pair of dead fish-like eyes staring at them.

"What does it take to be the most devout believer?" Zhao Lan asked.

The withered man heard this and said, "Kneel down and pray to my Lord. The Lord can tell who is the most devout believer."

Yu Xiao sighed and thought that there was nothing he could do. Some of them might have forgotten how to write the word "pious." Yu Xiao thought about it and looked behind him and asked, "Does Immortal Zhang live in there?"

Anger appeared on the withered man's face. Yu Qinglang said, "Leave one person to deal with them, and we will continue to go inside."

They walked into the temple, and the clergy screamed behind them.

Zhou Xiaozhen whispered, "This must be a cult. Look at those clergy. They all look mentally ill."

"Isn't it normal for NPCs in the dungeon to have mental problems?" Yu Qinglang said.

Pushing open the door at the back of the temple, behind the door was a row of places that looked like offices and dormitories. The corridor was empty and silent, with candles burning on the wall and only a row of wooden doors tightly closed.

The seven people walked over to take a look. There were no house numbers on the doors, and from the outside, it was impossible to tell what was behind these doors.

"Is it possible that Immortal Zhang is in here?" Yu Xiao asked.

"I don't know." Zhou Xiaozhen looked around and said, "There are no stairs here, and there is no other way."

Everyone was guessing, when suddenly Tang Xingyin walked to the front, raised his hand and pushed open the door in front of him, "Whether he is in there or not, you will know when you go in and take a look."

"Squeak--"

As the wooden door was pushed open, a white light appeared in front of Yu Xiao's eyes.

So dazzling! She raised her hands to cover her eyes, and soon the white light disappeared. Putting her hands down, Yu Xiao found herself in a room. She turned around, and she was the only one in the room, and everyone else had disappeared. Yu

Xiao was not surprised to be alone all of a sudden, and she was very calm, not at all flustered. Turning around, there was a door behind her. The furnishings in this room were somewhat retro, with a bed in the room and one wall covered with bookshelves, and a desk in front of the bookshelves. There were documents and papers on the desk, as well as a bottle of ink with a white feather stuck in it.

Yu Xiao hesitated for a moment between opening the door and looking around, and decided to look around. It wasn't that she was inflated, but because the nightmare was in the backpack behind her, she felt more confident.

She walked to the desk, the ink on the paper was not dry yet.

Yu Xiao picked up the paper, and there was a paragraph of words written on it.

"Today, Sister Xiao won three titles again, and I didn't have any. Sister Xiao is so lucky, everyone contributed, but only she won the title."

"..."

There was no signature under this paragraph of text, but there was only one person who would call her Sister Xiao, and that was Xiaozhen. Yu Xiao took the paper in her hand and looked at it carefully, wanting to see if the words on it were written by Xiaozhen. After looking at it for a long time, she gave up. It turned out that recognizing people by handwriting was just a trick in TV novels.

And she was basically sure that it was not written by Xiaozhen. If Xiaozhen suddenly appeared in a strange room like her, she would not be in the mood to write such weird words. She would probably try to get out first. If she couldn't get out, she would choose to destroy the room.

If she had to write something, she would only write about her own situation, the clues she got, or a suicide note.

Just as she was about to put the paper back, Yu Xiao found that there was another piece of paper with words written on it under this one.

"Xiaoxiao clearly said that the points should be divided equally among the three of them, but she has been just talking about it. If she doesn't want to divide it equally, why doesn't she just say it directly? We didn't force her to divide it equally."

Looking at this paragraph, Yu Xiao couldn't help but shook his head. What is this? Why is there such a thing in this room?

She felt very speechless and was about to leave when she suddenly heard a sound from behind the bookshelf.

The sound was indeed coming from behind the bookshelf, the sound of someone talking. Yu Xiao moved the bookshelf away and found a secret door behind it. She pushed hard, but the door wouldn't open. Fortunately, it was a wooden door, and a very old one at that. The joints between the wooden boards were no longer tightly fitted, and she could see the light behind the door through the gap.

Yu Xiao lay on the door, leaned close to the gap and looked inside.

There was also a room opposite, and the decoration style was similar to hers. Squinting her eyes, Yu Xiao saw two people appearing from the corner. It turned out to be Sister Lan and Xiao Zhen.

The two were searching everywhere, as if they were looking for something.

Yu Xiao was just about to knock on the door to get their attention when he heard Xiaozhen say, "What should we do? There is no way out. How about we break down the wall ?

" "I'm afraid that won't work." Zhao Lan shook his head and said, "We've already tried it, and we can't break down the wall."

"Then what should we do?" Zhou Xiaozhen said with a tearful face.

"Don't worry." Zhao Lan's face was obviously full of worry, but she still comforted Xiaozhen, "Even if we can't get out for a while, Xiaoxiao will definitely find us."

This was obviously a comforting remark, but Zhou Xiaozhen had a complicated expression after hearing it, "Yes, Sister Xiao will definitely find us. She is so powerful and can invite so many powerful foreign aid."

Zhao Lan was concentrating on finding a way out. Hearing something wrong in her tone, he asked, "What's wrong with you?"

"Nothing." Zhou Xiaozhen said sullenly, "Sister Lan, Sister Xiao's points are almost enough, did you know?"

Zhao Lan was silent for a moment, and said, "I know."

"She always said that the points should be divided equally." Zhou Xiaozhen's voice deepened, "But she is almost adding them together..."

"Don't think too much." Zhao Lan said seriously: "The three of us have agreed to go out together, and Xiaoxiao is a very good person, she won't..."

"Sister Lan, why don't you continue?" Zhou Xiaozhen sighed and said: "Actually, I understand Sister Xiao a little bit. She may have really thought about dividing the points before. But have you forgotten what happened in the Time Hospital? Ye Tao said that only the two of us went out, and Sister Xiao didn't... She may... may be anxious?"

Zhao Lan was silent, and Zhou Xiaozhen didn't know what to say. Both of them were silent, lowered their heads and concentrated on finding a way out.

Yu Xiao looked at the crack in the door silently, she took a few steps back and moved away from the door.

The light on the opposite side could still be seen through the crack in the door, Yu Xiao turned around and walked towards the door behind her. Grabbing the door handle and turning it gently, the door was pushed open.

Outside is the corridor from before, but unlike before, there is no one here.

Yu Xiao looked to the side, and except for the door she opened, the doors on the left and right were closed. She thought about it, walked to the door next to her and tried to open it.

The door couldn't be opened, but she heard voices inside, and after listening carefully, she heard the voices of Sister Lan and Xiaozhen talking. That's right, this is the room to the right of the room she was in, and it is the room behind the door behind the bookshelf.

In other words, Tang Xingyin opened a door, but they appeared in different rooms. Some rooms have one person, like her. Some rooms have more than one person, like Sister Lan and Xiaozhen.

Is this reasonable?

How are the rooms allocated? Based on the relationship or the appearance?

She thought about it and took off the bag on her back, opened it and saw that there was no cat inside.

This was an illusion, Yu Xiao was sure of it. Because there were many bugs in it. Not to mention that after Tang Xingyin opened the door, she didn't move at all, so why did she appear in the room?

If they just appeared in different rooms and the situation was the same, why was there a door in her room that could lead them out, but Sister Lan and Xiaozhen were trapped in the room and couldn't get out?

And she had been delayed in the room for a while, why was she the first to come out? She didn't believe that Tang Xingyin and those seniors from the Second Hospital would dawdle more than her.

So this must not be real, these are all illusions.

So now there is only one problem, that is, how to get out of the illusion?

Yu Xiao thought about it and decided to try the most common method first, using the pain to wake herself up. She raised her hand and began to think about where to pinch it would hurt the most. It is said that the flesh on the inner thigh is tender and it hurts to pinch.

Yu Xiao pinched a little flesh and squeezed it hard.

"Ouch..." Yu Xiao's tears were about to flow out of her eyes due to the pain. She rubbed herself quickly. She looked around with tears in her eyes, but there was no change.

It seemed that the pain could not wake her up, so she began to think of the next method.

Generally, hallucinations are illusions of human perception, and the real environment around them will not change. If everyone is in a hallucination, then the others should be not far away from her.

Yu Xiao began to touch around, but she didn't touch anything after a long time. She thought that maybe she had left her previous location after falling into hallucination, so she couldn't touch the others.

What should she do?

If she just got separated from the others, why was Nightmare not in the bag?

That's right! Nightmare! Yu Xiao suddenly remembered, so what if it was a hallucination? Nightmares can enter people's dreams. As long as she fell asleep, wouldn't she be able to see nightmares in her dreams?

Thinking of this, Yu Xiao lay on the ground without hesitation and began to hypnotize herself.

Fortunately, she had a special skill that made it easy for her to fall asleep. She lay on the cold ground, closed her eyes, thought about some happy things in her mind, and fell asleep in a short while.

She was confused in her dream, and she didn't even realize what she had dreamed. Suddenly, a hand reached out and grabbed her wrist.

Yu Xiao turned around and saw a familiar person, "Meng Yan!"

Meng Yan grabbed her hand and said, "I was trapped in an environment, and when I woke up, I found that you were gone."

"I am still in the illusion, and I don't know how to wake up, so I deliberately fell asleep to find you." Yu Xiao: "Is there any way to get me out of the illusion?"

"Yes." Meng Yan raised his hand and gently covered her eyes, "Close your eyes."

Yu Xiao closed her eyes, and as the darkness came, she suddenly felt a sense of weightlessness, as if she had stepped on empty air and fell from a hundred-story building.

She suddenly opened her eyes, and after her vision became clear, she saw the moving ceiling. She was lying horizontally, and there were footsteps in her ears. After a moment of calm feeling, she found herself being lifted high up by several people, not knowing where she was being taken
