[Chapter 1789 The fun is theirs]
Xia Ruofei showed a strange look. He just saw that this mini-town was dead silent from a distance, and there was no vitality at all. As a result, when he stepped on the road of the town, it was as if he had pressed the play button. The whole town came alive at once.
This is naturally very abrupt.
In addition, Xia Ruofei observed while walking, and soon felt that although the town seemed to be full of people, it was a noisy scene, and whether it was the pedestrians on the street or the stalls on both sides, it looked a little messy, which is also a must Most of the small towns are what they are, but despite this, Xia Ruofei can still faintly feel that there is an invisible order acting on this town all the time.
These small town residents and vendors, whether it is a white-haired old man or a young child with yellow hair, their every move seems to be set, and there is an incomparably precise order in the clutter.
In this way, Xia Ruofei felt that he appeared in this mini-town, which seemed very abrupt, as if a bomb had been dropped into a pool of stagnant water, and the balance of the mini-town seemed to be destroyed.
Of course, this is entirely Xia Ruofei’s own personal feeling, but his feeling has always been very accurate.
Xia Ruofei did not easily communicate with these small town residents, he just followed the Xiaodaotong across the street while observing silently.
The street is not very long, and after a while, it has been passed from one end to the other, and it has walked out of the mini-town.
After observing for a while, Xia Ruofei has already made a judgment – all the residents in this town are not real people, but are artificial puppets like the little Taoist boy in front.
Not only that, but even the horses they were leading, the dogs they kept at home, and even the crickets teased by a few children were not real living creatures.
Although everything is done very realistically, under Xia Ruofei’s spiritual investigation, everything is invisible.
Although these puppets can be isolated from mental power detection, Xia Ruofei cannot directly check their internal structure, but under the monitoring of mental power, any of their subtle actions cannot escape the eyes of Xia Ruofei, including the small animals mentioned above. the same.
Xia Ruofei’s spiritual power cultivation base is already stronger than that of ordinary cultivators in the later stage of Jindan, so his brain development is far beyond that of ordinary people. Even if he processes so much detailed information at the same time, he can still make accurate analysis in the shortest time.
In a word, it is these small town residents and those lifelike little animals, their words and deeds have a strict logical constraint, seemingly random actions are actually choreographed, as if they are a computer. It has been rehearsed countless times, and the actors can easily perform a large-scale stage play with their eyes closed.
Xia Ruofei’s curiosity is getting heavier and heavier,
but he also knows that it is difficult for him to get any useful information from Xiaodaotong, so he has been refusing to ask questions, and said that he should follow him to the Zhenyang Temple to see Say it again.
This little Taoist boy is equivalent to an “NPC” in the game. If he is regarded as a real person to communicate with, I am afraid that even the best-tempered person will be angry. Xia Ruofei didn’t think that he would find himself uncomfortable.
After leaving the town, they set foot on a winding mountain road.
Of course, this part of the road is not long, because this hill is not steep at all, at most it is a little undulating on the terrain.
Nevertheless, this is already the commanding height of the first floor of the tower, and Zhenyang Temple occupies this commanding height.
After a while, Xia Ruofei followed the little Taoist boy to the door of Zhenyang Temple.
Xia Ruofei came closer and finally saw the true face of Lushan Mountain in Zhenyang Temple. This Zhenyang Temple is indeed a dilapidated Taoist temple. However, I don’t know how many years have passed, and basically I can’t see the original color. In addition, this Taoist temple covers a very small area. Xia Ruofei’s mental power has been swept away slightly. Except for some places that cannot be penetrated, it is basically clear. In view of the situation of the Taoist temple, this Taoist temple is divided into front and rear halls. The front hall is dedicated to the statue of Sanqing Dao Zun, but it is also full of incense. The rear hall looks like a living area, a small courtyard structure. , there are not many rooms in total.
The little Daotong came to the gate of the temple, pushed open the two dilapidated doors directly, then turned around and bowed to Xia Ruofei, and said, “This layman, we are here, please come in!”
Xia Ruofei nodded and asked casually: ” Little Daoist
, how many people are there in your view?”
Xia Ruofei thought that this question would go into the sea again, but unexpectedly, the little Daotong actually answered him: “Only Xiaodao and Shizun are here. Depend on each other for life. Lay, Master has been waiting for a long time, please come in quickly!”
Xia Ruofei couldn’t help but be speechless for a while, he thought at first that this magnificent 1,000-meter-high tower is the so-called Zhenyang Temple!
I didn’t expect to see it after I came in. Zhenyang Temple is actually only a very small Taoist temple on the first floor, and there are only two Taoist priests, one old and one young. I don’t know what the old one’s situation is. The small one has been determined to be a puppet .
This gap is too big!
However, Xia Ruofei couldn’t care less. Now this is the only place where clues can be found, and they have all come here. Even if there is any danger in it, he can’t back down at this time.
So, Xia Ruofei nodded with a smile, followed the little Daotong and walked into the Zhenyang Temple.
Walking into the gate, it is a small dilapidated yard, overgrown with weeds, and no one has taken care of it for a long time.
Xia Ruofei couldn’t help but say in his heart: It seems that this little boy is also a lazy puppet!
I don’t even bother to maintain my own yard…
After passing through this dilapidated yard and walking up a few steps, it is the front hall of the Taoist temple.
Xia Ruofei stopped, took a stick of incense from the side and lit it, respectfully offering incense to the Taoist Sanqing.
Although Xia Ruofei is not a Taoist, he should show due respect when he comes to the precious place and sees the statue of his ancestor.
The little Taoist boy naturally wouldn’t urge him, so he waited with his hands down.
Originally, Xia Ruofei also wanted to enjoy some incense money, but he only had Chinese coins or U.S. dollars. If he wanted to come to these currencies of the secular society of the earth, it would definitely be of no use here.
So, he looked at the dusty merit box, and finally gave up the idea of rejoicing.
After the incense, Xia Ruofei followed the little Daotong from the side of the hall to the back, and after a few steps down, he came to the range of the apse.
The building of the apse is much lower than the front hall. In fact, it is a relatively small courtyard. The building of the front hall is one side of the small courtyard of the rear hall, and the other three sides are one-story bungalows with about seven or eight rooms.
As soon as Xia Ruofei came to the apse, he heard footsteps, and he couldn’t help but be refreshed, and at the same time raised his alert, ready to release the flying sword to fight.
Xia Ruofei looked up, and an old man walked out of a room with a smile on his face.
I saw that this old Taoist had white hair and beard, and was wearing an old Taoist robe that was washed a little white with starch, and he was carrying a sword on his back.
Although this old man looks very old, his face is very ruddy, and his skin is so smooth that he can hardly see any wrinkles.
In addition, his calf is still tied with leggings, and he walks with gust of wind, and at first glance, he has some cultivation.
The white-haired old Taoist walked in front of Xia Ruofei, bowed his head and said, “Immeasurable Shou Buddha! I don’t know the name of this layman?”
Xia Ruofei bowed slightly and said, “Dare to ask Xia Ruofei the name of the long law…”
“It turned out to be Jushi Xia, I’m lucky to meet you!” The white-haired old Daoist said with a smile, “Pin Dao Zhenyang, take his disciple Qingfeng to practice here.”
It turns out that the puppet Daotong also has a name, but the name Qingfeng is really It’s so ordinary, it’s hard to impress!
Of course, the name of the white-haired old Taoist is not too advanced, and I don’t know if he occupied this Zhenyang Temple, so he simply called the Taoist name Zhenyang, or because he originally called the Taoist name Zhenyang, and then gave it to him. This Taoist temple has a name like Zhenyang Temple.
In any case, it must be lazy behavior.
Of course, this wasn’t the old Taoist Zhenyang being lazy, and it wasn’t the Qingfeng Xiaodao being lazy, but the great master who made them.
Yes, although it was only a short contact, Xia Ruofei can basically judge that this white-haired old Taoist Zhenyang, although much more realistic and intelligent than Taotong Qingfeng, he is still just a puppet. That’s it.
When he saw Daotong Qingfeng outside the tower before, Xia Ruofei couldn’t judge it quickly, but he had so much contact with Qingfeng, and when he was passing through the mini-town just now, he also observed so many It can be said that the residents of the small town have greatly improved their experience in judgment.
At first glance, this white-haired old Taoist Zhenyang has no flaws, but Xia Ruofei already has a lot of experience. After a little try, he can confirm his judgment even more.
For example, when Xia Ruofei was talking just now, he seemed to move his position several times inadvertently. Under normal circumstances, in order to show courtesy, the other party’s eyes will definitely move with Xia Ruofei’s movement.
In fact, the white-haired old Taoist Zhenyang did this, but he was a little slower than normal human reactions, so the final effect was that Xia Ruofei moved his steps, but really Yang still looked at the position where Xia Ruofei had just stood with a smile, and then quickly adjusted.
This delay is probably within a second, but it is enough for Xia Ruofei to make a judgment.
Of course, he also tried the white-haired old Taoist True Yang through several other small means without trace. The conclusion is that there is a 90% chance that this old Taoist is not a real human at all, but just a puppet.
To be honest, Xia Ruofei was a little disappointed when he came to such a conclusion.
He really wants to meet a real human now, because he knows that there will be no results in communicating with these “NPCs”, unless the other party has told him the information, otherwise the words will not make sense.
In addition, so far in this secret realm, only Xia Ruofei himself is a big living person, and to be honest, he is still very lonely.
Especially when Xia Ruofei passed through the crowded streets of the mini-town just now, this feeling of loneliness was even stronger.
Just like what Zhu Ziqing’s prose “Moonlight on the Lotus Pond” describes – the liveliness is theirs, and I have nothing.
