Chapter 222 Paradise After the documents of life and death were read out, the burning order was thrown into the execution ground."Clang!" The crisp sound of throwing cards made the scene dead silent. Countless people held their breath, tiptoed and stretched their heads to watch the beheading that was about to begin. "Hahaha, I'm going to heaven, I'm going to heaven, wife, I'm going to heaven to find you!" The old man kneeling on the execution ground started shouting crazily at this moment, his face covered in sweat, with fear and excitement intertwined. The spectators looked bewildered; Countless Internet users who watched the execution through live broadcast were outraged. Various barrages filled the screen! "Poor thing, this is really crazy!" "Sin does not lead to death, right?" "Hey, Namo Amitabha."
Amidst the discussions, the two executioners immediately removed the warning signs behind the old man and the old woman, swung their machetes, and started killing them. "puff--" Blood splattered as a huge head rolled down to the execution ground. The wide-open eyes remained wide open until death, looking at the illusion of the True Lord in the sky with his eyes lowered, which could only be seen through the interconnected light screen. In the underground palace of the land of Solo Village, hundreds of miles away, Wu Yanshang stared blankly at the live broadcast of the rolling head. He felt his mind go blank, as if he was hit by a huge rock, and he couldn't breathe for a long time. The old man is dead... just now? The old man is dead? In this era when faith is becoming increasingly rare, his rare devout believer, Lao Zi, has died? At this moment, countless doubts surged from Wu Yanshang's mind, and the strong feeling of powerlessness made him extremely depressed. "Wow--" Suddenly, an inexplicable noise came from the crowd watching the execution ground. This strange movement also caused the live camera to turn over. The barrage was full of curiosity! "what happened?" "What's wrong?" "I'm so anxious, what happened?" "Talk live!" Wu Yanshang was also full of curiosity, but after watching for a long time, he only saw people talking, but no explanation from the host. In other words, most people were confused at this time and asked each other questions, which made Wu Yanshang so angry that he quickly looked for other live broadcasts. Fortunately, 30% of the live broadcast section was broadcasting the execution live, so with several windows connected at the same time, he was able to find the source of the noise. ——Some people saw that when the old man and the old woman died, their souls left their bodies, held each other's hands, and walked into a door of light. Wu Yanshang was shocked when he saw the news. Out-of-body experience? Not to mention whether the old man's soul can survive at noon when the yang energy is at its peak; It is impossible for any soul to appear as long as the Taoist temple people are guarding the scene.
Unless... Gu Zhenzai takes action? But if it was really Gu Zhenzai, why didn't he save the servants, but instead gave up the main goal and saved the remnant soul? What is the significance of this to all living beings? In fact, this has also become the focus of online debate. "That's bullshit. I was right there. Where did the ghost come from?" “You have to use an interconnected light curtain to see it!” "Okay, no wonder! The Internet light curtain, isn't this just bullshit? I think this is a deliberate misunderstanding designed by the Internet to make up for its disadvantage." "I'm dying of laughter. Isn't the Internet supposed to be so awesome? It's supposed to build a harmonious society for the whole world. But if it can't even protect its own users, who will dare to use the Internet in the future?" Looking at the noisy public opinion, Wu Yanshang sighed, feeling that this must be Gu Zhenzai's propaganda. Come to think of it, it is easy to save the old couple Lao Caizi, but it is difficult to save the world! Now that we have saved Lao Cazi but not other users, it will deal a greater blow to the reputation of the Internet. It is better to adopt a cold and aloof attitude from beginning to end. Everyone just takes what they need! What the Internet wants is incense, and the human resources of the secret realm of the Internet; What users want is entertainment, private attribute panels, avenue fragments, and even Internet medical care. As for the risk, it is entirely at your own risk. The Internet, which has its own exclusive sector, has, to a certain extent, already had its own moat. It is difficult for other networks to kill the Internet. At most, they can squeeze the Internet market. Therefore, this capital punishment is nothing to the Internet. This little ripple will soon dissipate in the flood of information! After thinking it through, Wu Yanshang felt more and more uncomfortable. This world was as cold as ever. Even Gu Zhenzai, who talks about benevolence, righteousness, morality and world peace, is still like this. The fact was just as Wu Yanshang had guessed. The death of Lao Caizi, apart from causing some stir on the Internet at the beginning, soon disappeared in various news reports. Even in Solo Village, things gradually calmed down after a few days of heated discussions. The world will continue to function the same regardless of who is gone. The Internet is still bustling. As countless players joined the new main quest - Fantasy Rebirth and Cyberspace Interconnection, major counties in the real world immediately became lively. Countless people log on to the Internet every day and look up at the huge illusion floating in the air. What's worse, some people even post anonymously and spend money to canvass for votes, just to maximize the illusion they have created and dominate the county's airspace. Major Internet forums have even launched private selection activities. We have to admit that there are experts among the people.
Countless strange and bizarre illusions were created. Among them, the illusion uploaded by Xiaoxiaoniao in Bian County not only passed the review, but also became a popular illusion in Bian County. After entering Bian County and turning on the Internet light screen, you can see at a glance a headless statue sitting cross-legged in the mist. However, when you get closer, you will find that the headless statue seems to be headless, but in fact it presents three forms under the outline of the swirling clouds. One is the Bodhisattva lowering his brows to look at the true master; One is Master Gu, who helps the world with his Taoism; There is also a kind of Guxianguan who is crowned as an official. One statue with three forms is truly amazing, so much so that the number of likes it received is far ahead of others in Bian County. It also allows the little bird to gain a lot of merit rewards! "Just a little bit left... Just one more quest in the Dreamweaver Cave, and it will be almost complete." Xiao Xioniao looked at the merits in his account that were gradually stopping increasing, and knew that the number of likes from users in Bian County had basically reached its limit. It was somewhat unrealistic to expect the rest to be likes from outsiders. However, even so, he was still very satisfied. He never thought that he would draw inspiration from the deserted statue in the deserted temple and actually gain such a huge wealth from it. Now the points for treating the legs can be redeemed soon. This far exceeded his expectations. So much so that he couldn't wait. Decided to solo the Dreamweaver Cave. The Dreamweaver Cave is located outside the main city of Mercury. The cave has intricate corridors, spider webs and countless spiders. It is said that it was modeled after the Dreamweaver Cave in Uttarakuru. If an ordinary person goes in, he will easily become the spider spirit's reserve food. This is not the worst. The worst thing is that because of the spider's special eating habits, once caught, it cannot die for a while. It will only be wrapped into a pupae and gradually die in despair due to the erosion of venom. The word "dream weaving" is far from being as kind as it seems. The Dreamweaving Cave in the secret realm of time and space is also notorious. This cave can refresh spiders of equal size according to the player's level of cultivation. Therefore, traveling alone is the best option. It is said that if you can penetrate it, you will gain incredible benefits. The little bird didn't expect to break through the Dreamweaver Cave. He would be satisfied if he could kill some monsters and collect some materials to sell. After deciding to set off, he sent a message to his teammates, reported his departure, and then set off. The Dreamweaver Cave is not too far from the main city, and it only takes half a day to reach it with the speed spell. When he was about to reach the Dreamweaver Cave, the little bird was suddenly stunned. Then I saw a farmyard next to the official road. Smoke was rising from the chimneys, and it was obvious that someone was living there. "Player?"
Just as the little bird was about to go closer to check, he saw a prompt from the system suddenly. [You have entered private territory. All your hostile behavior will trigger hatred and counterattacks from local residents. Please be careful. ] The little bird was stunned. When will the Secret Realm and Space allow players to create their own private territories? While he was in a daze, the gate of the courtyard opened and an old man walked out. When he saw the little bird, his eyes lit up and he smiled and said, "Young man, are you a player?" "Ah? Yes, you are?" The strange question made Little Bird confused. He looked at the old man again and noticed that there was no player logo above his head. In other words, is this indigenous? Are there indigenous people in the secret space and time? "Everyone calls me Old Man. I was brought to this paradise by the gods. I have only been here a few days." "Heaven?" The little bird was completely confused...Isn't this a secret space and time? "Who is the immortal the old man is talking about...?" "Gu Zhenzai! Sir, haven't you heard of it?" "Not only have I heard of you, I have admired your name for a long time!" The little bird became more and more curious: "Since it is Gu Zhenzai, why does the old man call this place the paradise?" "That's what the immortal said. The immortal said that even though I die, my soul will ascend to heaven. From now on, I can live a long life here for sixty years. If my merits are fulfilled, I can become a god in heaven one day." The old man imitated Gu Zhenzai's tone, his face full of pride. The little bird was confused. Death? Heaven? What is this all about? Thinking of this, he simply asked. It would have been better if he hadn't asked. After asking, the information he got made him stunned. He even logged onto the Internet on the spot and searched for the beheading video of Wumen Gate in Yong County. Looking at the prisoners in the video who looked exactly like the old man in front of him, Xiao Xiaoniao was shocked. "Is this the old gentleman?" "It's me. It's me." The old man looked somewhat embarrassed and felt ashamed of his madness at that time. "So, you died and your spirit came here?" The old man thought about it and nodded, "It should be... like this. I am an old man and don't really understand these things."
Little did he know that when these words fell into the ears of the little bird, they felt like they were crazy! If the person in front of us is really the soul of the old man, doesn't this mean that the secret space and time is similar to the fairyland, a world of its own? So was the body in front of him an illusion? Or is it an existence that he cannot understand? "Has the old man eaten yet?" Suddenly, a shout from inside the house interrupted their chat. "Young man, have you eaten yet? Let's go have a meal together?" "Okay!" The little bird agreed without even thinking about it. When I entered the main room, I saw the old woman in the video there, serving rice. The food was very simple, just like that of an ordinary farmer's family. The little bird was eating while trying to find out the news. Unfortunately, the old man's experience in spiritual practice was really average, and he kept repeating the same words over and over again. However, he sighed a lot about his own life experiences. I couldn't help but talk about my hometown, escaping famine, and even the past of Solo Village. Speaking of Solo Village, the old man couldn't help but say: "I don't know what to do with my old house. I have two sons, both of whom work in the county, and I don't know what will happen to them." The little bird asked, "Can't you log on to the Internet?" The old man said, "I can log in, but I can't get in touch with my two sons. I don't know if they met with an accident or they don't dare to log in anymore." Hearing this, Little Bird was moved and asked, "Old man, do you want me to help inform them?" "Is this... convenient, sir?" "It's not a big deal. Just ask someone to take a video and we'll know if Linzi is safe." The little bird said casually. "Looking for someone to take a video?" The old man looked confused, and the little bird had to explain. Not long after, he summoned the light curtain and casually posted a message in the Yong County Forum, using points as bait to ask someone to shoot a video. Of course, in order to protect its privacy, the little bird lied and said that it had left home when it was young and was homesick. It didn't know whether the scenery had changed a lot, so it asked someone to take a picture of the scenery in an old alley. The reason was sufficient, and soon someone took the order and started shooting. After the video was uploaded, the old man watched it over and over again, and his face became solemn. "The door is locked." "It looks like he's gone." "gone?" "Think about it, if you were caught, why would you have the mood to lock the door? Do you want me to send someone to Solo Village to check?" "Then... thank you for your help, sir." "No trouble."
After a long time, the video from Solo Village was also transmitted back. The door of the old man's house was wide open, and all the things in the house had been moved out, most of them eaten up. The person who took the video probably thought that the little bird was simply curious about the incident, so he also asked about the details of the case and sent it along. Confirmed that the old man's son is not here. "It seems that they have moved away. After such a big incident, it is indeed difficult to live in Yong County anymore." "Yes!" The old man and the old woman felt a little depressed when they heard this. "Old man, I have a way, maybe I can contact your son?" "What method?" "Your message will be published. He doesn't access the Internet, but it's impossible for him to be disconnected from other networks. Therefore, as long as he knows you are still alive, he will most likely reply to your message." "Is this... okay?" "Okay!" "Then I'll trouble you, sir." "You're welcome." The little bird responded and quickly sent a message to Beet and the others. "Come quickly, it's a big deal!" "what's up?" "Aren't you going to the Dreamweaver Cave?" "Don't ask, you'll know when you get here, hurry up!" Beet and the others looked at the message sent by Little Bird, looked at each other in confusion, and then hurriedly followed the coordinates on the map. When they arrived at their destination and saw the farmhouse on the side of the road, their expressions were exactly the same as the little bird's. When they learned about the old man's story, they were all shocked and their hearts were beating fast! "Shall we get this out there?" "Since Gu Zhenzai dared to take in the old man, how could he not consider this?" "Makes sense." "So...did it?" "Done!" (End of this chapter)
