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

Chapter 675: Broad Road (Thank you for your support, third update)
When Liu Sheng saw that Song Haiyin's face turned pale and his forehead was slightly sweaty in order to release this rain of holy light, he understood everything in his heart.

"You raised it."

In another world, this pear tree ghost did not receive such treatment, so it became a twisted obsession that eventually devoured the entire Li County.

Also being devoured was Song Haiyin, the person in front of him with a gentle smile and a holy glow.

After hearing what Liu Sheng said, Song Haiyin sighed: "Yes, I know I shouldn't do this, but..."

As she spoke, she raised her head and a smile appeared on her face that moved even Liu Sheng, with a holy sense of compassion.

Even Taibai Sword Immortal couldn't help but stare in amazement, and exclaimed loudly: "Miss, you have such a beautiful smile!"

Song Haiyin was stunned, but she also knew that the old man's condition was as strange as a naughty boy, so she didn't think too much about it. She just smiled and responded politely with a "thank you".

Then, she began to slowly explain the cause of the incident.

"Ten years ago, I just came to Li County. I was still young at that time and didn't understand many things. I always... hit a wall everywhere."

Liu Sheng could hear a lot of pain hidden behind this simple sentence, but Song Haiyin obviously didn't want to say more.

"But in the temple, there are old priests watching me. If I show my displeasure, they will ask me if I think the Li County Temple is too small to accommodate a great priest like me..."

Song Haiyin gave a wry smile.

"With nowhere to go, I accidentally stepped into Zuibai Garden, which everyone avoided. But I found that this is a great place. There is no danger. I thought it was just a rumor among the villagers."

"So later on, whenever I had something bothering me, I would come here, sit under the tree and talk for a while, and the pain in my heart would slowly dissipate."

The pear tree above her head was dropping white pear blossoms, as if gently comforting her.

"One day I was talking under this tree about the New Year approaching and the pilgrims coming. I was distressed because I didn't have any good gifts to give to the high priest."

When Song Haiyin talked about this, a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and a branch fell and rubbed her face.

"I didn't expect that the next day, when I came back, I found a shallow puddle under the tree, which was filled with the rich aroma of wine."

Taibai Sword Immortal's eyes lit up and he said excitedly, "Pear Blossom Wine!"

Song Haiyin nodded.

"Yes, she brewed pear blossom wine for me and asked me to give it to the high priest. The wine is really excellent, and the high priest Li likes it very much."

"From now on, our fate begins." Song Haiyin said softly, with a hint of bitterness in her voice.

The surrounding pear tree ghost babies gathered around her, huddled around her, and babbled.

"So you not only use your merits to nourish this monster? You even use the incense and faith of most temples to nourish the restrictions here?" Liu Sheng asked with a raised eyebrow.

Song Haiyin was silent for a moment and nodded slightly.

"The ancient tree is old and cannot be moved easily. Later, it gave birth to these small trees. I tried to move them out, but I found that they would all die. They cannot be moved away from the mother plant for the time being."

"But they are in the center of Li County, surrounded by residential markets, with dense traffic. If something breaks out... wouldn't it be dangerous?"

Liu Sheng nodded slightly, "But you called me here today because you want me to move them away, right?"

Song Haiyin's eyes widened. She didn't expect Liu Sheng to point out this fact so directly.

"Yes...it is indeed the Supreme God." Song Haiyin lowered his head and said, "Because I am no longer able to support this restriction."

"To be precise, it's not that you found that you can't support it, but that you found that the Supreme God has become ineffective. Your temple can't accumulate any faith at all, right?" Liu Sheng said calmly, "It seems that the bottom of this pool of faith is leaking. Although people come to offer incense every day, the faith is getting thinner and thinner. One day, this ban will not be able to contain the pear tree ghosts in the garden."

Song Haiyin's face turned pale.

But she couldn't deny it anymore.

“I just realized it now…” She looked up into the sky, a trace of confusion in her eyes, “I have believed in God for a lifetime, and spread the glory of God day after day, but one day I realized that this road has come to an end. I can only taste the feeling of the collapse of faith alone.”

"Until I sensed the Supreme God...your divine glory!"

Song Haiyin's originally gentle and kind face revealed a hint of urgent excitement.

"So I thought, maybe you can help me, help Li County, and solve the disaster caused by my momentary weakness."

Liu Sheng was in deep thought, and Taibai Sword Immortal suddenly spoke, "No, no."

His eyes were still fixed on the pond, not moving away. At this time, the atmosphere was slightly relaxed, and several pear tree ghost babies took out wine jars from the side. Other pear tree ghost babies worked together to use a giant wooden spoon made of branches to scoop up the wine and pour it into the jar, and other pear tree ghost babies sealed it up.

Soon, jar after jar of pear blossom wine was packed, and the other pear tree ghost babies ran out one by one, carrying it back and forth and stacking it neatly under the corridor.

"What's wrong?" Song Haiyin's gentle smile paused slightly, and she turned to look at Taibai Sword Immortal.

But Taibai Sword Immortal seemed not to see it, and just kept shaking his head and said, "No, it's not like that."

Song Haiyin's smile was a little stiff, but she still tried to maintain it. She turned to Liu Sheng and said, "God, I hope you can move these pear trees out of Li County and find a beautiful place in the Changxing Mountains to transplant them. Is that okay?"

"Changxing Mountains?" Liu Sheng stared at Song Haiyin solemnly, "Aren't you worried that one day their growth will erode the nearby mountain people?"

Song Haiyin was stunned.

"Or are you planning to give this pear tree ghost away according to a certain contract as a common property of several nearby counties..." Liu Sheng's tone was meaningful.

Song Haiyin forced a smile and shook her head slightly, "I... don't quite understand what you are talking about."

"You didn't leave them here because you were soft-hearted," Liu Sheng said as he glanced at the pear blossom wine in the pool, "but because you discovered the specialness of this wine..."

Taibai Sword Immortal said loudly: "That's right, that's right, it should be like this! You can even train these babies to serve you wine..."

At this time, several more pear tree ghost babies dragged a larger jar with great effort, approached the pond, and poured wine into the jar.

"But why should I do this kind of thing specifically? I just need to be a good priest." Song Haiyin's pupils trembled and he tried to remain calm.

But Liu Sheng looked at Song Haiyin, smiled slightly, stepped closer, and said, "Because you found that being a good priest is not enough. In addition to winning over the believers, there are more people above you who need to be won over."

Song Haiyin's expression finally froze, and fear flickered in her eyes.

Liu Sheng stretched out her tentacles and snatched a wine jar that the pear tree ghost baby had just filled. She put it close to her nose and sniffed it. The rich fragrance of pear blossoms hit her in the face, and even a high-level cultivator like her couldn't help but feel intoxicated.

"This pear blossom wine can intoxicate people. If you drink too much, you will naturally be controlled by you, and even..." She added lightly, "You can also climb up the stairs that you could not climb before."

At this time, Li Ming happened to reappear.

He whispered in Liu Sheng's ear: "This priest Song Haiyin is not a simple person. There is already an appointment letter in the temple about her upcoming transfer to the temple."

Apparently she had just checked.

Liu Sheng's eyes flashed with enlightenment, and he smiled slightly: "So that's it, you plan to leave Li County."

Hearing this, Song Haiyin looked at Liu Sheng with a hint of fear in her eyes. The omniscience and omnipotence of God were beyond her imagination.

"Since you can't take this pear tree away with you anyway, why not use it as a bargaining chip to sign a contract with several nearby counties in exchange for greater benefits?"

As he spoke, Liu Sheng began to guess: "What is it? Money? Or to protect your career in the temple? But it shouldn't be. If they have such ability, they wouldn't be here..."

Although Song Haiyin was shaken for a moment by what Liu Sheng had said, she still tried to calm down and said slowly: "In exchange for the protection of the people of Li County, and..."

"Shelter for them."

A hint of surprise arose in Liu Sheng's heart.

Song Haiyin met Liu Sheng's gaze and said seriously: "I have always wanted to leave Li County. Yes, I did leave them here with a purpose, but..."

She looked at the busy pear tree ghosts, her expression became more complicated, and a gentle curve appeared on her face again.

It seems unnecessary to say what follows.

She just said lightly: "Anyway, thanks to them, I have this opportunity and can finally leave here."

Liu Sheng guessed that every year, the high-ranking officials who came here would drink a few sips of pear blossom wine and feel intoxicated.

If that is not enough, being offered a few more jars would make you even more intoxicated.

If she likes it, Song Haiyin can also ask someone to send it to her for a long time.

After drinking a lot, I naturally became a part of her network.

In this way, one altar after another, Song Haiyin paved his own smooth road to the Chang'an Temple.

Happy New Year to everyone!

I hope everything goes well for everyone in 2025 and that you can embark on the road to your dreams!
