I imitate others' cultivation, and I will never reason with you.

Chapter 224 A Dream in Qionglin

It feels like these people's IQs are no longer in the same range as normal people.

Ruan Xing couldn't help but start thinking, if his silk-pulling technique was developed to the point where he could completely control a person's speech and even expressions, eyes, and thoughts, would that also make him look stupid?
Passing the big cauldron in front of the door, the red-robed monk continued to scoop water for the people behind him with empty eyes.

The scarred male cultivator was half-carrying the female cultivator into the attic at the back.

Ruan Xing hurriedly followed.

Inside the attic, the first thing you see is a stone statue of a fairy.

However, unlike normal stone statues, this fairy stone statue has a loving smile on her face and her body is slightly hunched. There are chubby little babies playing on her back, shoulders, hands and legs. She does not look like a goddess who has sacrificed herself for mankind, but rather the Goddess of Childbirth.

As he looked at it, Ruan Xing felt dizzy. The stone statue seemed to move, and its eyes rolled in Ruan Xing's direction.

She blinked, and the statue returned to normal, as if nothing had happened.

And she was secretly on guard against everything in the Fairy Temple.

The female nun knelt down respectfully and worshipped the stone statue, muttering, "I beg the fairy to help my child pass away, I beg the fairy to give me a new child..."

As she kept repeating, the stone statue lowered its head and sent the stone doll in its hand to the female cultivator. As soon as it touched the female cultivator's body, the stone doll disappeared, as if it had merged into her lower abdomen.

The scarred male and female cultivators seemed to have seen nothing and continued to kneel and repeat their crazy prayers.

The statue turned its head and smiled at Ruan Xing. A strange female laugh came into his mind, "Do you want a child too?"

Ruan Xing bit her lip to wake herself up, cursing, "You're crazy, you're the one who wants a child."

She stretched out her hand and a white jade sword flew out of the void, chopping off the stone statue's neck. The head fell off and the stone dolls on her body immediately scattered.

But the fallen head still had the corners of its mouth raised, without any change.

Sounds came from all directions.

"Come here, I'll give you a child..."

"Come here, I'll give you a child..."

Ruan Xing just felt a headache.

This stone statue is not the original body of the world consciousness, but probably just one of its incarnations, just like the glass salamander of the Heavenly Dao, which uses some physical objects to influence people or things in the small world. After all, the first law of the Heavenly Dao is that it cannot directly interfere with the development of the world.

It is possible that it does not even have a conscious incarnation and is just a set program.

Because Ruan Xing didn't find the thread around the stone statue.

Even if all the stone statues were blown to pieces, the world consciousness would not be harmed at all.

Even so, she still couldn't find it.

You have to go with it temporarily to find what you want.

But this sound is so annoying!

Ruan Xing opened the Sui Lingzhu and directly threw Xie Feng and Xizui out, without them having time to go through the procedure and pass through the light gate.

Xizui no longer cared about these external matters. He didn't even want to be the Demon Lord. He didn't raise any objection to Ruan Xing's extremely disrespectful behavior towards him. Instead, he walked forward and attacked the stone statue's head that was still making sounds.

Xie Feng staggered back two steps and stood firm, complaining: "Why so sudden? You scared me."

"Stop talking nonsense." Ruan Xing kicked him on the butt, "Come on!"

The fairy stone statue was very fragile and seemed to have no protection. Even the claws of Sin-Washing could easily break the stone, and the statue shattered into countless pieces.

The rubble left scratches on the two people kneeling on the ground, but they were unaware of it.

Xie Feng dodged while trying to swallow the statue. Then he leaned against the wall and began to dry heave, "Ugh! It tastes worse than dirt!"

The more rubble there was, the more sources of sound there were. The sounds echoing in the attic were so dense that Ruan Xing could only temporarily close his five senses.

Suddenly, the originally disorderly rubble seemed to be organized, and after being neatly and regularly arranged, it became a rubble wall, smashing towards Washing Sin.

Xizui raised his hand and took out his magic weapon, preparing to fight against the rubble wall. However, the rubble wall was like an illusion and went straight through Xizui's body. Then, Xizui disappeared.

He didn't even have time to utter a word.

However, Ruan Xing was not worried. Once they entered this small world, they would become a member of this small world. The world consciousness could not kill them directly, but could only fight indirectly.

It was as if the heaven couldn't directly kill her as a time traveler.

Xizu will not die, he will only be taken to another place by the world consciousness. If he goes to the lair of the world consciousness, then we can only hope that he can find the Hongmeng Purple Qi as soon as possible.

The rubble wall continued to move in the direction of Xie Feng.

However, Xie Feng seemed to have understood why Ruan Xing was so quick to clash with the other party and did not resist.

She just hopes that the world consciousness will bring them to its familiar home ground.

Taking advantage of these few seconds, Ruan Xing's soul left his body, grasping his own destiny line in his hand, and entered Sui Lingzhu.

A silk thread connected Sui Lingzhu and Ruan Xing's bodies. In her last vision, a rubble wall was coming towards them.

The inside of Sui Lingzhu was still the same as when I entered before.

Xie Feng and Xizui did not make any changes here.

How could Xie Feng be so honest... He was like a naughty kid in a supermarket. If he wasn't paying attention, he would take a bite of the roast chicken on the counter, tear up the snack packaging bags on the bottom shelf, and pour green beans into red beans and mix them evenly.

His eyes shifted slightly, ripples appeared in the air, and Jian Lai slowly emerged from hiding.

"What did they do in Sui Lingzhu?" Ruan Xing asked.

Along the way, except when he was affected by the secret space, Xizui hardly expressed his opinions, and let Ruan Xing make all the decisions.

However, he took the initiative to propose a method of using Sui Lingzhu to transfer the influence of the secret realm.

In order to show his sincerity, he actually gave the Sui Lingzhu to Ruan Xing to use and did not use it himself.

The unusualness reveals a very high level of suspicion.

So, after entering Sui Lingzhu, Ruan Xing found an opportunity to release Jian Lai.

Let him hide in the Sui Lingzhu.

Xie Yao didn't know that she had a puppet. Similarly, Xizui was not aware of Jianlai's existence. Xie Feng might be able to guess it, but he couldn't control Xizui's behavior.

Jian Lai didn't know any magic like the Water Mirror Technique, so he imitated the two of them and performed for Ruan Xing.

Sometimes he hunched his chest slightly, put his hands in his pockets, pretending to be an old man in gray. Sometimes he shrugged his shoulders and pulled the corners of his mouth hard to make the same nonchalant smile as Xie Feng.

Xizui whispered, "Saint Demon Lord asked me to ask you if you need any help?"

Xie Feng glanced at him speechlessly, "No need, we have been in Chaos City for so long, you should know that if I needed help, I would have secretly come to you guys a long time ago."

"Then are you willing to be inferior to a mere child?" Xizui asked, "Before, Saint Demon Lord asked me to send someone to inquire about what kind of person Ruan Xing of Fengying and Yueying Sect in Nanzhou is. According to several cultivators from Yunyang City, she is as short as a child and looks innocent, but she is cruel and ruthless, cold and perverted, and enjoys torturing cultivators. Such a person would be feared and disliked by everyone in the North Territory, but she happens to be an immortal cultivator, and I'm afraid her mentality is even darker. Being controlled by such a person, I'm afraid you have had a hard time these years."

He sighed and continued, "Originally, Shui Linglong suspected that Ruan Xing, who had been hiding in Nanzhou and rising to prominence, was a member of the Hidden Sect. However, after hearing her behavior, Saint Demon Lord rejected this possibility. The people of the Hidden Sect take the Way of Heaven as their responsibility. Even if they are indifferent, they will not kill indiscriminately. She is definitely not a member of the Hidden Sect."

"Where did you get this information from..." Xie Feng said with a strange expression on his face. Suddenly he thought of something and laughed, "But it seems that what she said is not wrong. Yes, she is extremely hateful!"

Xizui lowered his hoarse voice and said, "So, Saint Demon Lord asked me to find a chance to contact you. She still owes you a favor."

"There's more than one. She later used my name to cause so much trouble outside. Doesn't she plan to pay it back?" Xie Feng said lazily.

A demon cultivator without anyone to protect him is usually in danger of his death. From foundation building to golden elixir, no one knows how many demon cultivators die every year. Xie Yao has been able to live alone for so long, and Xie Feng has made an indispensable contribution to this.

Even though he didn't care about these things before.

"The Holy Demon Lord didn't say so much. She just asked me to ask you if I owe you a favor and if you need any help." Xizui said.

"Forget it, you don't have to pay it back. Tell her to pretend she doesn't know me from now on. If she and Ruan Xing ever fight to the death, she doesn't need to care about my life or death." Xie Feng sighed sadly, "I really wanted freedom before, but some people are like kites. Without the string holding them, they are no different from being dead."

Xizui nodded, "Okay, I understand."

The sword's movement stopped.

"What happens next?" Ruan Xing asked.

Jian Lai shook his head honestly, "No, they didn't say a word or make any moves after that."

Is this so...

Ruan Xing pondered. There was nothing wrong with what Xie Feng said. He just didn't know if he guessed that Jian Lai was here and said that on purpose.

But since he said this to Xizui, he probably didn't consider Xie Yao as his backup.

Ruan Xing temporarily put his mind at ease and turned his attention to the secret space outside Sui Lingzhu.

She needed to temporarily obey the world's consciousness, but she was worried that if she really let go of her mind, she would forget to end the simulation and go bankrupt, so she came up with a compromise.

The soul left the body and entered the Sui Lingzhu, leaving only a trace of consciousness to control the body instinctively, and holding on to his own destiny as insurance.

That way you don't have to worry.

Outside the Fairy Temple, there was a lot of noise and the attic remained the same, as if nothing had happened.

Ruan Xing and the scarred male cultivator came out of the Fairy Temple together, their faces filled with joyful smiles, and they were talking to another mortal woman who was a little older.

"Cousin, since your mother is here to pick you up, just follow your aunt home. You are welcome to come and see me next time." The female cultivator said with a smile.

Ruan Xing nodded, "Okay, then goodbye cousin and brother-in-law."

The mortal woman came to hold Ruan Xing's hand, and Ruan Xing followed her obediently.

The woman was walking while humming an unknown song and seemed to be in a good mood.

"Mom, why are you in such a hurry to pick me up? I haven't played enough at my cousin's house." Ruan Xing said with dissatisfaction while pouting.

The woman smiled lovingly, "Silly child, you are so old, but you still know how to play. It's time for you to get married. Let's go back and find a good family for you so that you can have a baby as soon as possible."

Ruan Xing said: "I don't want to hold the baby."

The woman's face darkened. "How can we not hold the baby? Reproduction is the natural duty bestowed upon us by the Fairy Temple. We must not only give birth, but also give birth to many children! Listen to your mother. After we get married tomorrow, go to the Fairy Temple with your husband to pray, and you will be pregnant the day after tomorrow."

The logic of her words was very confusing, making Ruan Xing's head turn into a paste. She hesitated and said, "But why do I remember that fewer and better births lead to a happy life..."

"Nonsense!" The woman raised her eyebrows and shouted, "You are violating the teachings of the Fairy Temple and bringing shame to our entire Qionglin Town! Look at the banner on the wall for yourself. One child is shameful, two is glorious, and three is heroic!

If you want to live a well-off life, have more children to help!
Reward for having two children, punish for having one child, and both DINKs and infertile people should be arrested!

Look, is there anything wrong with what is written on this wall? "

Ruan Xing shook her head, feeling that she was already out of her mind, but she still resisted what the woman said in her heart. She retorted: "No, it's not like that! I don't remember it like that!
Have fewer children and plant more trees; if you want to get rich, build roads first...

Control the population size and improve the quality of the population...

It should flow but it doesn't flow, it's better to dig up the house and pull the cow...

One person gets sterilized, the whole village is honored...

I remember it now, I remember it all!"

Ruan Xing shouted loudly.

The woman's face was as dark as charcoal. She rushed forward with a twisted face and grabbed Ruan Xing's shoulders, "You have to listen to me, you have to listen to me! Hold the baby, hold the baby soon..."

Her voice seemed to be magical.

It dissipates layer by layer.

As if it were real or unreal, it gave off countless echoes!

Stronger than the sounds at the Fairy Temple!

Ruan Xing's eyes gradually became dull and empty.

"I got you!" Ruan Xing found the thread in Sui Lingzhu that was like a firefly in the dark night. He suddenly rushed out of Sui Lingzhu and grasped the unusual thread of destiny.

The woman screamed and fainted immediately.

All the sound echoes also stopped abruptly.

However, Ruan Xing did not lose any trace of world consciousness.

She held on tightly without letting go, and her soul entered her body. Suddenly, the influence of the secret space suddenly weakened, and her consciousness returned.

She immediately flew forward, following the guidance of the string in her hand, and grabbed a half-grown boy in the crowd, "Still want to run!"

The little boy struggled for a moment and then became motionless.

Ruan Xing stopped chasing, but grabbed the thread of destiny in his hand and pulled back the body that was possessed by the world consciousness again!
"How come you can find me every time!" the old woman in front of him screamed in horror.

It has no entity of its own, and its stone statue has been destroyed into slag and rubble by the atonement of sins, so it can only mingle among the crowd in the town.
