You have mastered the art of thunder and you tell me that it is in a strange world?

Chapter 46 Bai Fanglan

Seeing that Zuo Chen had no intention of answering, the woman could only sigh.

"If the Taoist priest doesn't want to talk about it, then that's fine. As for me..."

She wanted to open her mouth to cover it up, but accidentally looked into Zuo Chen's eyes.

In an instant, she felt her mind tremble violently, and her entire soul and spirit seemed to be hit in the face by an invisible villain with a hammer, and her ears were buzzing.

"My name is Bai Fanglan, please don't forget me..."

As soon as she said this, she suddenly closed her mouth.

"Bai Fanglan, it's a good name, but it's a pity that she doesn't behave properly." Zuo Chen shook his head and sighed, commenting: "As for this, are you interested in talking to me about it?"

Looking at Zuo Chen with surprise, Bai Fanglan's heart was full of surprise.

What was that just now? Did he use shock on my soul?
There is no altar in sight!
Can a simple look achieve this effect?
Bai Fanglan calmed down and became extremely alert. She took some life-saving treasures and held them in her hands.

She did not directly answer Zuo Chen's question. Instead, she found an empty wooden stake in the surrounding wasteland, brushed off the dust floating on it with her sleeves, pushed her skirt forward, and sat on it.

Then he said:

"I heard you say before that you came from Qingzhou. You and the girl beside you are dressed neatly and elegantly, so you must not have suffered any hardship. So, what do you think of Xuzhou?
"Do you think this place is famine-stricken? Do you think the young man still alive beside you is pitiful?"

Seeing that Zuo Chen did not answer her question, Bai Fanglan continued:
"Don't forget each other. Walking in the world, it is difficult to eliminate suffering. Unfortunately, I am not capable enough to make Xuzhou full of food again, so I opened a ghost town here so that the starving people on the ground can eat peaches and drink wine in their dreams. But I didn't expect that you, Taoist priest, would come and kill them all with a sip of wine."

There was a complaint in her words, as if she was saying:

Taoist Priest, it’s all because of you that all the people in the village died.

After saying this, Bai Fanglan looked at Zuo Chen again, only to see that the latter was picking his ears with his little finger, as if he didn't hear her at all.

Bai Fanglan felt angry.

This ghost Taoist priest is so annoying!

"Master, since you have killed all the people in this village, do you have any good way to deal with the chaos in Xuzhou? Just let the corpses float all over the ground and the blood flow like a river?"

Bai Fanglan simply questioned Xiang Zuochen.

Without paying any attention to her, Zuo Chen looked directly at Xiao Changcheng.

"You came out of town to look for food. Are you seeking death or life?"

"Ah?" Xiao Changcheng didn't expect that this matter had anything to do with him, so he said:
"Of course I want to live. There are so many fellow villagers in the town, and my mother is waiting for me to go back and save her. If I want to die, why would I risk coming out? There is no shelter outside. Wouldn't it be better to starve to death hiding under the bluestone tiles in the town?"

"What about your friends?" Zuo Chen pointed at the three dead people on the ground and said, "They should be the same as you."

"Of course it is."

Xiao Changcheng looked at the brothers who had died, and his expression became even darker:

"They are all my friends who grew up together. They are a few years older than me and they usually protect me. When we went out, the villagers collected several cakes for us. Halfway through the journey, they gave me some, saying that they were full and asked me to keep them.

"But they were full, and they gave me the last piece of bread they had left!

"We've gone through so much trouble to get here, how could we possibly ask for death?"

Zuo Chen nodded, and finally said to Bai Fanglan:
"Look, you lied to these four people that they came here to live. She and I drove a donkey cart from Qingzhou, and it's impossible that we came here to die. But you have already killed three of them, and you plan to kill the remaining three of us as well."

Zuo Chen paused for a moment and said, "Girl, according to what you said, are you seeking death or life?"

Bai Fanglan's expression changed several times and finally became gloomy.

"The people kept in the Taoist temple are really not idle people. They are very good at performing rituals and are also very good at talking. I am still alive, naturally to save more people and lead them to the other side of paradise. If Xuzhou is no longer suffering, I will naturally follow them." He looked at Xiao Changcheng again:
"How do you want to live? You haven't had a grain of food for three days? Come with me to the paradise, where you can eat meat and drink wine every day and be accompanied by beautiful women."

"No, no." Xiao Changcheng shook his head: "I still need to find food to save my mother and the mothers of the three of them."

"Take your mother to Paradise too, so she can have enough to eat, right?" Bai Fanglan said again.

Xiao Changcheng thought about the paradise that Bai Fanglan mentioned, and then thought about his mother, and suddenly he became furious:
"You want to kill my mother?"

Bai Fanglan: “…”

I can't continue this conversation.

"People with different ideologies cannot work together. Taoist priest and I have different ideas, so please leave. You go your way, and I go mine."

She acted as if she was seeing someone off, but Zuo Chen just burst out laughing.

"Master?" Bai Fanglan frowned.

"You have been refining poison here to raise evil spirits and plant evil trees to absorb spiritual energy. Has it been more than a day or two?"

"Don't slander me." Bai Fanglan's expression changed slightly. "If you can't explain it, just leave. Do you want to kill me here?"

Caiyi glanced at her and muttered:

"You wanted to kill us in the beginning, but now you are scared when the Taoist priest shows off his power. You are a whore and you still want to be a saint."

"You!" Bai Fanglan glared at Caiyi, but her altar had just been broken by Zuo Chen, and she didn't know the birth dates of the people who came here, so she had no means to kill them. She could only hold the small item that could save her life tighter.

Zuo Chen walked to a certain location on the wasteland and stomped his feet lightly. A small shadow popped out from the soil on the ground. He stretched out his hand and grabbed it directly in his palm.

Then he opened his palm, in which lay a peach pit, shiny and smooth.

Seeing the peach core fall into Zuo Chen's hands, Bai Fanglan's previous gentle and indifferent expression instantly disappeared. She suddenly stood up from the wooden stake, her eyes widened, and her pretty face was full of disbelief.

"Ever since I entered Xuzhou, I felt something was wrong. I don't know who had ruined the fertile land, filling it with wild and ghostly qi. When I saw you, I realized that the evil people in this world not only refine ghosts, but also refine the land."

Zuo Chen sneered:

"How many mountains and forests have you eaten these walnuts? How many fields have you harvested? How many people among you who don't forget each other are eating the land of Xuzhou?
"The paradise you're talking about is to turn reality into a mess, turn the starving people into hungry ghosts, and drive them into slavery and soldiers?"

What kind of ability does this Taoist have?! He actually saw through the situation in Xuzhou?

She set her eyes on the walnut again, knowing that it was more important than her life. Bai Fanglan was so confused that she didn't care how powerful the Taoist was. She only had time to shout, "Give it back to me!" and then rushed towards Zuo Chen.

"Want this evil thing?"

Zuo Chen pressed the head of the walnut with two fingers and pinched it down hard. Immediately, cracks appeared on the entire walnut.

"This evil thing will only bring disaster to the people if it is kept!"

"Snapped!"

The walnut broke into pieces and turned into fragments that scattered in all directions. The ghost energy contained in it also dissipated under the thunder, emitting a burnt smell.

"Ahhh!"

The walnut was destroyed. Bai Fanglan put her hands on her face, screamed hysterically and tore off her skin.

But after calling out twice, he suddenly convulsed and fell directly to the ground.

He didn't even have time to save his life and just died like that!
