Chapter 522 These Weirdos
The lecture on the bearded side finally came to an end, and a circle of old ladies and daughters-in-law around them immediately entered into a serious discussion. One elder sister held up a small notebook and asked: "Master, when you were talking about the cycle of all things yesterday, I came late. Yes, can you..."
At this time, the bearded man had already seen Hao Ren standing outside the circle and quickly waved his hand: "We'll talk about it tomorrow. We'll talk about it tomorrow. This thing is all about casualness. Just listen to whatever section you catch up with - Landlord, are you here?"
At least 60% of the old ladies and daughters-in-law in the circle knew Hao Ren: In this small place in the southern suburbs, the neighbors are all acquaintances who have lived there for decades. Everyone knows each other, and everyone is familiar with them immediately. Come say hello on the ground. Seeing this situation, Hao Ren could only respond one by one with a smile. Mrs. Zhao, who has always been familiar with Hao Ren, stepped forward and grabbed Hao Ren's hand: "Hao boy, have you not shown up for more than ten days? Are you going out again?"
Old ladies like to pay attention to these trivial matters.
Hao Ren chuckled: "Work, work... didn't the job I found last year often require business trips?"
"Well, it is indeed beneficial to find a solid job and work," the old lady nodded gracefully, but soon became more serious, "But you are away from home all day long...don't forget that you are renting a house. Ah, can you take care of it?"
Hao Ren thought of a way and hurriedly said a few perfunctory words, then quickly left and came to the bearded man: "Why are you still teaching in class?"
"I didn't expect that either," the bearded man spread his hands innocently, "I have always followed your reminder and tried not to draw attention to anyone. But a few days ago, when I was on the street, I met an old man who was weak and suffering from stomach problems. I took action to treat her, and then told her about life management..."
"Then if the word spreads to you, you will become the health guru in the southern suburbs, right?" Hao Ren slapped himself on the forehead, "These days, those who want to be famous are so crowded that no one pays attention to them. How can those who don't want to be famous become famous? Even an old lady on the street has become a social celebrity."
The bearded man shrugged and was speechless, because he didn't know the meaning of "famous" at all. When Hao Ren saw his reaction, he rolled his eyes and said, "Let's find a way to stop your course in the future - do you know that your ascetic lifestyle can easily starve to death if applied to ordinary people?"
The bearded man chuckled: "I know, I know. And I also want to stop: to be honest, dealing with these people is much more difficult than studying ancient scrolls. In the past few days, there are at least twenty or thirty ladies who want to drag me to them. I was really tired of giving lectures at home, and just rejecting them consumed most of my energy. But I felt that it would be irresponsible for these people to withdraw suddenly, so I have postponed it until today..."
Hao Ren glanced at this new friend of women with a strange look, grabbed his arm and rushed home: "Let's go, let's evacuate quickly. If you keep tossing like this, maybe some indignant old man will show up at some point. I reported you as a heretic."
When the two of them were almost at the door, Hao Ren slowed down, tilted his head and lowered his voice: "We found a stable passage to the Dream Plane, and Betsy has gone back. Are you and the other three masters planning to go back?"
The bearded man paused, then quickly followed up: "Stable passage? Did you discover it when you went to deal with the 'evil spirit' this time?"
Hao Ren nodded. The bearded man thought for a while and shook his head slightly: "We do have plans to return to report on our work, but we will not go back in the near future. We have each found what we want to do in this world. We should travel here and learn as much as possible about this strange world. , This will be of great help to our practice, and also help us to have a deeper understanding of the goddess’s creative power.”
Hao Ren felt a headache when he heard Big Beard talking about these mysterious things, but he knew that most devout believers were like this, so he could only try to get used to it. He casually asked about the movements of the other three people: "What are the other three masters doing now?"
The bearded man narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he was confirming the situation of others through some mysterious spiritual connection. After a moment, he opened his eyes: "One person is in Africa, conquering lions and wild elephants. He has been busy mediating disputes between two local tribes for the past two days... He is the new chief of one of the tribes. One person is in Antarctica, and she is chiseling Ice, searching for pristine land, with a group of seals at her disposal. The last one was in India, where she seemed to have found many like-minded people, perhaps where she could spread the gospel of the goddess."
Hao Ren: "..."
Hao Ren was stunned for a long time before he realized that the three ascetics who had gone out to travel around the world were more capable than he thought. He looked at the bearded man with an expression that was almost horrifying: "What are you planning to do?!"
The bearded man said with an indifferent expression: "Travel around the world."
Hao Ren's expression was shattered: "To travel around the world, you need to go to Africa to become a chief, go to Antarctica to dig ice caps, go to India... holy shit, in comparison, the person who goes to India is still the most normal?!"
"Of course, traveling around the world requires experiencing all the difficulties and obstacles in the world," Bearded Beard didn't understand why Hao Ren was so surprised. "How can you be called experienced if you don't challenge the limits of survival?"
Hao Ren was speechless and waited for a long time before he came up with a practical question: "Wait a minute... How did they travel so far?! You don't have a passport! Even if you smuggle in, you can't find them, right? ?”
The bearded man nodded: "I swam over."
Hao Ren: "..."
I dare say that the word "you" in "travel" in the ascetic dictionary means this!
"I feel like I can no longer stop you from conquering this world," Hao Ren waved his hands feebly, suddenly feeling that it would be easier to go to another world and bomb the "eldest son" than to deal with ascetics who have such unusual ideas. "As long as they don't Whatever trouble is caused...I don’t care.”
The bearded man nodded cheerfully: "We have the rules."
To be honest, two months ago, Hao Ren was very willing to believe Big Beard's promise, but now he really doubted the credibility of the other party's "reasonableness". Being able to swim directly to the unified African grasslands and ascend to the throne of tribal chief in such a short period of time, this ascetic style of painting has appeared in which script can you think of! Hao Ren now really wanted to meet the ascetic brother who had superior combat power (in all senses of the word), but he was afraid that he would be internally injured by the aura of the other man who came from Africa and was blessed by the chief, so he could only do it in the end. Laugh twice and go home with the bearded man.
"In addition, I also got the 'origin blood'," Hao Ren suddenly remembered something, "I want to study whether I can get in touch with the goddess through them. What suggestions do you have?"
"I know you don't believe in the goddess of creation, so just stay respectful when the time comes," the bearded man said with an indifferent expression. He is now very open-minded, "but to be honest, I don't think you will succeed: establishing a connection with the goddess requires extremely devout faith. Even monks who have been trained for many years will have a certain failure rate in establishing contact through a complete sealing ceremony, and it is almost impossible for a heretic who has never studied the scriptures to obtain the recognition of the Source Blood."
Hao Ren didn't say anything. He felt that the way he planned to study origin blood might not be recognized by Big Beard, so he simply didn't mention the topic.
Just when the two of them walked to the door of their home, a loud "boom" suddenly came from behind the house.
Hao Ren was startled by the loud noise and ran to the back of the house to see what was going on before he could enter the house. As a result, the scene in front of him made him not know what to say:
The smoke had just cleared in the open space behind the house, and a lot of messy mechanical gadgets were scattered on the floor, including old cylinders, bearings, gears, springs and the like. This was obviously the scene of an explosion of some kind of mechanical device. And a little girl wearing a black Gothic dress was sitting in the middle of the explosion crater. The little girl's whole body was covered in smoke and she was holding the half-pull pipe in her hand in a daze. When she heard someone approaching, the little girl turned her head smartly, revealing a row of white teeth on the lower part of her dark face: "It's so exciting!"
Hao Ren held on to the wall next to him to prevent himself from falling: "Elizabeth...can't you do something like conquering the world, bullying men and dominating women, or finding two unlucky guys to sign a slave contract, something that a princess in the demon world should do?"
The little demon princess thought for a while, opened her mouth and blew out a puff of black smoke: "My dad said that I can't conquer the world until I finish elementary school."
Hao Ren: "..."
He felt that it would be much easier to fight with the eldest son in another world than to deal with these weirdos at home! (A great pie-in-the-sky event, a cool mobile phone is waiting for you!
