Chapter 127 Heading to the City God’s Temple (1)

After Song Lanyi said that she believed that "human nature is inherently evil", everyone was stunned.

That’s not to say that the saying “human nature is inherently evil” is too rare.

On the contrary, for so many years, the secular opinions about "nature is inherently good" and "nature is inherently evil" have criticized each other, and it was difficult to distinguish between them for a while.

It's just that... they thought that a girl like Song Lanyi, who grew up in an environment of love and care, would be more yearning for goodness and would be more likely to support the statement that "nature is inherently good".

But the truth is exactly the opposite.

Song Lanyi continued, "I think human nature is born with a tendency towards the chaotic side of evil. Children in their twilight years don't understand anything, but they naturally learn to crush ants. In our opinion

, This is just a trivial matter, but for ants, isn’t this an evil?”

"People are evil because they have desires in their hearts. If desires don't stop, evil thoughts will not stop."

Some people wonder, "But everyone cannot avoid desires. From this point of view, isn't the world filled with evil thoughts?"

When Song Lanyi heard this, he raised the big gilded book in his hand and smiled, "That's why education is needed. Isn't it exactly what is said to serve the people with morality and gradually educate the people? Walking in the world of mortals, there is always a need for enlightenment.

It is necessary to have invisible dogma to bind oneself."

"This thing is nothing other than morality and education. Only with etiquette, integrity, and a heart of good and evil can we know what we want to do but can't do."

Although Song Lanyi's words support the idea that sex is inherently evil, as far as Pu Song is concerned, what he cares more about is the second half.

Educate all people in the world and control the evil thoughts in their hearts.

Pu Song patted Song Lanyi on the shoulder. He did not argue whether this statement was right or wrong, but only encouraged: "You and I are the same. We hope to benefit the mountains and seas with just a tiny amount of dust and mist."

Even if you are as small as dust, you still have to fill the mountains and seas.

Whether it is Song Lanyi or Pu Song, they are nothing before the mighty world and all the saints and people.

When the morning sun broke, the group of people looked at the sky and dragged the body of "He Bo" back to the village.

All night last night, residents in the village could hear roars and collisions at the end of the village.

Therefore, when it was daylight, many villagers were still worried and did not dare to go out. It was not until students from Bailu Academy took the trouble to persuade them many times that these villagers tentatively walked out of their houses.

As the saying goes, if there is one person, there are two. After the first person ate the crab, the remaining villagers also came out one after another.

When they saw the dense sores on their bodies, even the academy students who had been mentally prepared couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.

They couldn't help but think of the "true god" whose soul had been shattered before. Their emotions were so complicated that it was difficult to describe them in words.

Song Lanyi has almost learned that practice makes perfect.

The knife flew in her hand, and every time she moved her wrist, she would pick out a piece of flesh.

Butler Wang was on the side. From being worried at the beginning, to watching attentively in the end, he even muttered, "With Yiyi's level, he must be a good hand when it comes to killing dolphins during the Chinese New Year."

This so-called dolphin is a pig.

It's just that nowadays people with the surname Zhu are generally called "dolphins" for fear of violating taboos.

After hearing what Butler Wang said, Pu Song said:?

He looked at Song Lanyi who was covered in human blood, and he couldn't imagine her as a butcher who grabbed the pig's ears, raised the knife and dropped the pig's blood, and then put the pig's blood in there.

When all the villagers had received treatment, an octogenarian old man walked out of the crowd.

His body looked shaky, as he had been suffering from ghost-faced sores for many years and was habitually hunched over.

"Thank you so much for your help, knights... I wonder where you are going, knights?"

When he said this, the old man glanced subconsciously at He Bo's body on the ground.

Before this, Butler Wang's presence had always been very low. He seemed to be just the steward responsible for Song Lan's daily necessities, food, clothing, housing and transportation.

But after all, he has matured with age. Even though his cultivation may not be as good as the young students here, the things he has experienced in daily life are more salty than these students.

He keenly caught the old man's abnormality, narrowed his eyes slightly, and smiled without saying a word.

I just heard him say casually, "Where are we going? Is there anything we should pay attention to?"

The old man hesitated for a moment, then pointed at He Bo's body on the ground, "My lords, if you are here for them, it is best to leave as soon as possible."

Butler Wang frowned, "What's the point? Is it possible that with so many of us, we can't defeat a false god?"

When he heard the word "false god", the old man's face suddenly changed, "Sir, don't say such things anymore! You are not allowed to get involved in this muddy water!"

Everyone looked at each other, and in the end it was Song Lan who looked the easiest to believe because of her delicate appearance.

Song Lanyi was surprised and said, "Why do you say this? This He Bo, the true god, and the weird rules in the night are all solved by us. Could it be that we still can't solve the so-called fake...gods?"

?"

When the old man heard this, he sighed and sighed, "Little girl, you think this is your first time coming to the Southern Territory, right? Almost all the gods in the Southern Territory are inextricably linked to each other. As far as the information I have heard, just

He Bo here knows dozens of lake lords and water gods. Not to mention those wild gods who are hidden in the mountains and fields and have no one to worship them."

It sounds like... the situation in the southern border is worse than Song Lanyi and others imagined.

Pu Song and Song Lanyi looked at each other and nodded slightly. Song Lanyi understood in her heart.

She smiled and said, "Husband, could you please tell me where those gods are located?"

Seeing that Song Lanyi and the others were stubborn, the old man shook his head and sighed, then walked to the thatched house with his back on his back.

Then, he took a well-preserved sheepskin scroll. On the sheepskin scroll, the locations of large and small temples in the south were marked, and the gods to which these temples belonged were even noted on the side.

Seeing the surprised looks in Song Lanyi and others' eyes, the old man smiled bitterly, "I used to be as confident as you, and wanted to travel all over the southern rivers to drive away the gods and the underworld. But the result was... I suffered from ghost-faced sores and could only

He stole a map and returned to the village in despair. From then on... he couldn't afford to fall ill."

The old man obviously still doesn't think highly of them.

But Song Lanyi didn't care. She saluted her father-in-law seriously, "Thank you."

After that, after bidding farewell to everyone in the village, he walked in the direction of the nearest City God Temple on the map.

The so-called city god is equivalent to the patron saint of a place and the local leader of a city.

If you want to find out some news, it would be perfect to go to this so-called City God...

Along the way, Pu Song kept playing with the token in his hand, seeming to be thinking, as if through this token, he entered the "underworld" where these gods live and are connected.
