At this time, they didn't know whether to answer or not.
Fortunately, the old woman noticed their embarrassment.
"Oh..." the old woman said, "Aren't you from around here?"
The Taoist priest and the others looked at each other and smiled apologetically, "This is our first time in Pingtai."
"Well, Pingtai is a small place. It's rare for outsiders to come here to eat so late. Because there is a big service area not far ahead, and they usually stop there..."
Qin Yin glanced at Luo Jiutian resentfully. Luo Jiutian blushed and quickly took out his cell phone to confirm the route.
Xiaolan took advantage of this moment to squeeze forward and asked the old woman, "Are you the only people in Pingtai who know about the sacred tree?"
The old woman thought for a moment and said, "Anyway, we only have sacred trees in Pingtai."
Xiaolan looked at the Taoist priest.
The same thought appeared in everyone's mind.
Another strange god.
The fool pointed to the others still hanging among the leaves, "Are they really okay?"
"What's the matter?"
The old woman looked at him with an expression of "Are you okay?"
The fool retracted his hand, remained silent for a while, and then suddenly said, "Since there's nothing wrong, let's go."
"Just...leave?" Luo Jiutian asked.
Qin Yin lowered his eyes and nodded along with the fool, "We still have something to do."
This is beyond their control.
One after another, there are too many strange things in this world.
They also have a soul to take care of.
The old woman looked at their reactions, paused, and said, "The fried rice you took away is still in the lobby."
The Taoist priest nodded, "Thank you, we'll leave after taking it."
The night wind suddenly became fierce, and the shaking of the people on the tree became much larger.
Xiaolan glanced at the tree one last time, turned around, followed the others, and left.
The old woman's attitude toward them was no longer so enthusiastic. She might also find it strange that these people spoke unclearly.
After taking away Wen Ling's fried rice, everyone returned to the car without saying a word.
Xiaolan shivered unconsciously.
"Do we really not care?" Baomu broke the calm.
"What do we care about?" Qin Yin put on his seat belt, "The people of Pingtai are living a good life, why do we need to interfere?"
"But what about God?"
"I doubt……"
The Taoist Master suddenly spoke, and everyone's eyes were focused on him, but he closed his mouth, frowned and shook his head.
"What do you suspect?" Xiaolan leaned forward and tightly grasped the back of the Taoist's chair.
If she thinks the same thing...
"I don't think it's that simple."
"Of course it's not that simple," Qin Yin said, "There is obviously some special spirit coming out of Pingtai. The important thing is that the people of Pingtai didn't resist."
"That's right..." the Taoist priest said, "the things here have completed what Fire Lotus failed to complete."
"And God Wang!" Xiaolan said, "This is not the first time this has happened."
The fool also said, "There is also the hatching false god in Wuyu Town..."
Everyone's necks began to feel cold involuntarily.
Behind all this, there seems to be a truth that is darker than they imagined.
"Yes..." Qin Yin's eyes widened, "Why do such false gods appear in so many places? What's the problem?"
Does our world seem to be ending?
"I suspect," the Taoist priest finally said seriously, "the causes behind these things may be related."
Xiaolan sat up straight.
These are the words she's been waiting for!
"That man with the scarred eyes!" Xiaolan was so excited that she almost broke her voice, "He must be the mastermind behind it!"
The car was driving on an empty highway. Luo Jiutian, who was driving, shuddered suddenly. The car veered to the right, but he quickly corrected it.
"Why do you say that?" Luo Jiutian looked at the road ahead and asked, turning his face slightly.
"Because he was responsible for the Huolian incident. Before Huolian disappeared, he said to me, 'It really doesn't know their purpose.' It was not a person, it was a team... I understand!" Xiao Xiao
She jumped up and hit her head on the roof of the car. She covered her head and said, "There is an organization that incubates false gods everywhere, and the scar-eyed man is one of them..."
"But what is the purpose of doing this?" Qin Yin asked.
"The purpose..." Xiaolan brainstormed quickly to construct a logical closed loop for her hypothesis, "Maybe it is to control humans. If the false gods they hatched became gods somewhere, like Pingtai
The same, then they will also gain the faith of those people."
Qin Yin frowned.
Others had almost the same expression.
This statement is reasonable, but in any case... it is a bit too exaggerated.
Could such a thing really happen?
Seeing that the others had no reaction, Xiaolan felt as if a small ladle of cold water had been poured on her head, so she sat back on her seat.
"What do you think?"
"Xiaolan..." Qin Yin said hesitantly, "I think... this idea sounds more like a novel than reality, ruling the world or something..."
"Maybe they have other purposes," the Taoist leader said. He turned to look at Xiaolan and said lightly, "They want to deal with you."
"I?"
"Deal with Xiaolan?"
Everyone was in an uproar, including Xiaolan himself.
"Why do you want to deal with me?" she murmured.
The Taoist priest shook his head, "At least, they must know you."
Xiaolan felt as if her heart had been hit hard by someone.
"Is it because Fire Lotus's target is Xiaolan?" Qin Yin asked, "You are listening to its nonsense. I think it just wants to use Xiaolan as a sacrifice, so it is talking nonsense."
"There is also Wang Shen," the Taoist priest said, "Wang Shen's target is also Xiaolan."
The fool waved his hand, "No, the one who encouraged the king to become a god was not some scar-eyed man, but the fallen angel Basil."
The Taoist Master said coldly, "What if Basil is also a created false god?"
Xiaolan didn't know what to say.
The Taoist priest's thinking was actually more divergent than his own.
"No way?" Qin Yin panicked, "Why are they targeting Xiaolan? Xiaolan is just a weak little girl."
Xiaolan nodded fiercely. Although the men in the car had reservations about this point, none of them dared to say it out loud.
After a while, the Taoist priest laughed and said, "Don't panic, this is just a speculation."
Xiaolan was so scared that she broke out in cold sweat.
Is there any such speculation?
"The Taoist Master is making random speculations again," Qin Yin nervously held Xiaolan's hand, their body temperatures were both cold, "Xiaolan, don't be afraid."
Xiaolan smiled and nodded towards Qin Yin.
The car became quiet again.
They all turned their heads and looked out the window.
