The whole weird world is waiting for me to go to heaven

Chapter 672 A Farce (3K, third update)

"Hearing this, it seems that Priest Song is quite honest. At least he did not hide the fact that there is anything strange about this." Li Ming said.

Liu Sheng nodded, feeling a little hesitant, thinking that he was always too suspicious.

[Every creature has its own secrets, especially humans.] The low-profile version of "World" said lightly.

[Tsk, you understand humans again.] Liu Sheng rolled his eyes in his mind.

Just then, several people came out of Zuibai Garden, each holding a crying child.

There was one boy in particular, whose ears were pulled by his father, and his face was full of rebelliousness.

Behind them, there was actually a round figure with heavy steps, who walked out dejectedly.

It was Taibai Sword Immortal.

Liu Sheng took a quick glance and saw that the yard was pitch black and unclear. As Taibai Sword Immortal came out for the last time, the gate slammed shut.

The loud sound of the door closing startled everyone and they all turned around to look.

The children were so scared that they burst into tears.

The lady next to Liu Sheng said with a tut-tut sound: "Fortunately, this courtyard is not only weird, but also not hostile to humans, so there are always people who break in without listening to advice."

Liu Sheng: "Then what? Will there be any consequences if I break in?"

"Adults are fine, but many children will be comatose for a few days after entering, as if they were frightened by something." The old lady shook her head and emphasized, "So you still have to listen to advice!"

At this time, several aunties and uncles were coaxing their own children, looking at the dejected Taibai Sword Immortal with a look of resentment on their faces.

"You are an old man, and you have lived to this age, but how can you be so ignorant? Several kids wanted to break into the yard, and you didn't stop them!" An uncle couldn't help but speak first.

Taibai Sword Immortal tried to explain: "I... don't know..."

"What don't you know? Don't you know that you can't enter this yard?" The other lady glared at him and said angrily, "The whole Li County knows this, and you don't know it?"

At this time, the little girl in her arms whispered, "Mom, Grandpa Taibai is not from our Li County."

"What?" When her mother heard this, she hugged the child even tighter.

The other elders also looked at Taibai Sword Immortal with even more unfriendly eyes.

"Didn't I tell you? You can't just hang out with outsiders! What if they're kidnappers?"

"That's right! Not alert at all!"

"Anyway, I'll have to tell your mother about your breaking into Zuibai Garden and the fact that you were completely defenseless when she gets back from her shift!"

Liu Sheng sighed silently, looked at the bewildered Taibai Sword Immortal, and was about to step forward to take him away.

However, at this moment, a little boy suddenly whispered something.

"What did you say, son?" asked his father.

"Yes...it was him. He brought us in." The little boy named "Ya'er" suddenly pointed at Taibai Sword Immortal and said.

The other children were slightly stunned.

Another child then pointed at Taibai Sword Immortal, "Yes, that's him! Mom, we really didn't want to go!"

The other children reacted one after another and echoed in unison.

"We all said we couldn't go in, but this old man insisted that we go in, saying there were delicious things and good food inside!"

Only the little girl in the old lady's arms whispered "no", but was immediately drowned out by the voices of other children.

At this point, everyone's attitude towards Taibai Sword Immortal became even more unfriendly.

Onlookers on the street also pointed and talked.

Even the lady who had just spoken to Liu Sheng couldn't help but say, "This old man looks mean and evil. Really, I don't know why he would instigate other people's children to go to an abandoned yard!"

Taibai Sword Immortal lowered his head, seemingly not knowing how to defend himself.

However, the black chains on his body were looming, as if they were about to explode. There was also a puppet line extending to somewhere in the sky, which was about to break, but now it suddenly appeared, as if it was about to be connected.

The hostility surrounded Taibai Sword Immortal, flowing slowly but never released.

Liu Sheng's eyes darkened. In the astonished eyes of the old lady, he stepped forward, squeezed into the center of the crowd, grabbed the bewildered Taibai Sword Immortal's arm, and said, "Grandpa, let's go home."

Spiritual energy quietly flowed into Taibai Sword Immortal's body, slowly dissolving the restraints on him.

The black chain suddenly became dim, and the silk thread above the head also disappeared faintly, as if blown away by the breeze.

Taibai Sword Immortal finally came to his senses and looked at Liu Sheng aggrievedly.

However, the people of Li County still stood in front of them.

"Do you want to leave just like that? You can't leave until things are clear!"

"That's right! You don't seem like a good guy, grandpa! Where do you want to take our child to?"

"Yes, who knows if you have ulterior motives!"

"Maybe they're not even grandfather and grandson. They don't look alike at all!"

Li Ming laughed secretly beside him: "That's right."

This statement immediately sparked a lot of voices of agreement.

"Maybe they are in the same group!"

"Yes, yes. This girl looks kind and kind, but she looks more like a liar!"

"Kind and kind face, right?" "That's even more deceptive!"

These words gradually converged into a torrent of oppression. Liu Sheng and Taibai Sword Immortal seemed to be caught in a vortex. The crying of children and the accusations of villagers in their ears intertwined together, forming an invisible barrier, making it difficult to move forward.

Liu Sheng felt a little depressed and almost wanted to use his skills to free himself and Taibai Sword Immortal from the encirclement.

At this moment, a gentle female voice sounded:

"I don't think that's the truth."

The voice was gentle but carried a strange power, like a spring breeze, instantly calming all restlessness.

The amazing thing is that when the voice fell, everyone unconsciously made way for the owner of the voice.

The figure of Priest Song then emerged from the crowd, and he slowly walked through the crowd that was bowing their heads respectfully, stepping on the sound of their whispers.

She looked to be around thirty years old. Although her appearance was not dazzling, her temperament was as gentle as water. Her white robe was as white as snow, and she seemed to have descended from this world. The hustle and bustle around her did not touch her at all.

Except Liu Sheng and Li Ming, no one knew where she came from.

But at this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on her, as if her presence could bring peace to all disputes.

It was the first time that Liu Sheng saw a priest who could gain such genuine support in the Tang Kingdom.

Priest Song walked to the center of the crowd and swept his eyes gently over the two parties in confrontation - Liu Sheng and Taibai Sword Immortal on one side, and parents and children on the other.

She smiled gently, as warm as a spring breeze, and the tense atmosphere seemed to calm down. She said calmly:
"That's not what happened."

She repeated it again.

It sounds very gentle, but it lands with a sound.

Everyone understood at this time that Priest Song was actually speaking for these two outsiders.

The boy’s father spoke up hastily: “But, Priest Song, I don’t know where this old man is going to take our child. If we hadn’t been brave enough to go in and rescue him in time, maybe…”

Priest Song still smiled, and there was a gentle soothing power in that smile.

With this smile, the father's anxious words suddenly stopped.

"This trainee priest is quite capable." Li Ming exclaimed in a low voice.

Liu Sheng nodded slightly.

Priest Song bent down and said gently to the little girl in the arms of the old lady, "Ruyu, can you tell us why you want to enter Zuibai Garden?"

"us……"

The little girl, Ruyu, was a little hesitant at first and glanced secretly at her other friends.

Suddenly, she felt Priest Song's hand gently placed on her head. The warm current seemed to bring an invisible force, prompting her to muster up courage.

"Because...Grandpa Taibai wants to play with us, and Yaer said he wants to test his courage first!"

Suddenly, everyone was in an uproar.

Taibai Sword Immortal was originally angry, but when he heard what the little girl said, he was a little stunned and his brows relaxed.

"Then what? Why did you all go in?" Priest Song continued to look at Ruyu and asked.

"In the end, Grandpa Taibai came out after a while and said that it was beautiful inside, there were delicious food, and there were children playing with him..."

When Priest Song heard this, he stopped Ruyu from talking: "So you are all curious and want to go in?"

"Um……"

Ruyu nodded, then lowered her head, along with her voice.

"Actually... Grandpa Taibai said that only he could go in, and told us not to go in. But this made everyone angry, especially Ya'er..."

Everyone suddenly realized that this was just a farce among children competing for supremacy.

The boy immediately shouted, "You're lying!"

Ruyu shrank back, and the woman holding the little girl immediately said, "My Ruyu never lies!"

Priest Song smiled slightly, and looked at the other children with gentle but firm eyes: "Then why did you lie?"

Taibai Sword Immortal was also angry and aggrieved: "That's right, we were having a good time before!"

The children lowered their heads, not daring to look directly into Priest Song's gentle eyes, and remained silent.

In this way, things become clear.

Priest Song stood up and said softly to the parents who bowed their heads, "Tomorrow, please send your children to the temple to recite scriptures and copy books, and learn how to be a good person."

"But, Master Priest, the children have to go to school..." the boy's father asked cautiously.

"I'll go to the academy and talk to him myself." Priest Song's voice was gentle, but his tone was unquestionable.

Since Priest Song said so, the parents dared not to respond, and the children did not dare to complain. They just looked at Priest Song timidly with bitter faces.

Priest Song then said to everyone in a loud voice: "Everyone, please disperse. Li County has never been a place of exclusion. They have done nothing wrong. There is no need to speak ill of them."

Her voice was clear and loud. As her words fell, it was as if a gentle force swept through, and the people around her lowered their heads at the same time, as if repenting for what they had said and done.

Many people bowed slightly to Liu Sheng and Taibai Sword Immortal and quietly retreated.

The crowd that had gathered gradually dispersed.

Thank you thank you thank you everyone for your support in 2024!

I haven't stopped updating the book since I started writing it this year. I admire myself, hahaha. I've worked really hard!

I don't want to say it's bitter, mainly because I don't want to let down this story, let down Shengsheng, and let down everyone who follows me.
In short, I wish everyone a beautiful and perfect ending in 2024!
