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

Chapter 694 A Bowl of Hot Wine

On the second floor of the tavern, two people sat by the railing, their eyes fixed on a family of four downstairs.

The family just rushed in and had a slight argument. Now that the quarrel has subsided, the parents look terrified. From time to time, they look back at the opposite door, and whisper to comfort the two frightened children.

"Tsk, tsk, that's pitiful."

The person who spoke was a woman in purple, with a pair of bright and moving peach blossom eyes full of pity. She casually poured a bowl of freshly warmed hot wine for herself and the man opposite.

The man picked up the wine bowl, looked at the steam swaying on the wine, and sneered: "Pathetic? I'm afraid that soon, everyone in the world will end up in this situation."

The two spoke very quietly, fearing that such outrageous words might be heard.

The woman frowned slightly upon hearing this, lowered her eyes and sighed, "If it weren't for this, why would the headmaster urge us to go to the snowy mountains to do some chores..."

The man remained silent, poured the wine by himself, raised his head and drank it all in one gulp, seeming unwilling to talk more.

After a moment of silence, the woman spoke again: "Brother, I think these people... don't look like they have been properly trained. Can they really deal with the things in that house?"

Her eyes were always fixed on the door opposite, and her worry became even more intense.

The man shook his head: "The woman in green said that the evil in there is close to disaster level. We have just entered the realm of truth. If there really is such a thing, we will die if we go in."

The woman still did not give up: "But brother, do you believe that the magic weapon in her hand can really measure the strength of the monster?"

The man put down the wine cup and said in a slightly serious tone: "Letter. I have seen that thing at the headmaster's aunt's. The headmaster's aunt also said that if it is combined with the Skynet system that is now emerging in Chang'an, situations like the one in Mobei may be greatly reduced."

The woman's eyes lit up instantly, and she asked in a low voice: "I've always wanted to ask, Senior Brother Qiu, is this why the headmaster wants us to go to the snowy mountains? Do you hope that we can make something like this?"

"You don't know yet?" the man was surprised.

"I asked my master, and he said that he recommended me to go because I could take refuge in the snowy mountains. The headmaster also told us to study hard and not to think too much. I don't know why..." The woman said, a little confused. "Brother Qiu, you have studied a lot with the headmaster, so maybe you know?"

"Actually, what your master and mistress said are right." The man nodded and said calmly.

"So, you really want us to invent something?" the woman asked with a blink.

"Of course, you and I are the most outstanding young disciples of the Tiangong lineage in Guanzhao Peak, so it is most appropriate for us to do this."

The woman hesitated for a moment, "Why don't Master and Master-sister go themselves?"

The man laughed: "At their age, do you think they can still do odd jobs?"

The woman frowned and retorted: "But they can become monks, right?"

"To be a researcher, you need to meet the number of publications and pass the assessment. How can it be so easy?"

"Besides, the head master also said that we are young and creative, while they are old and have rigid thinking. I'm afraid they won't achieve much if they go there."

The man said this, shaking his head and sighing.

The woman was stunned after hearing this, and a sense of inexplicable sadness arose in her heart.

Thinking of the eager eyes of the elders when she left Guanzhao Peak, she couldn't help but secretly clenched her fists, her eyes determined: "No matter what, I must be admitted to Xueshan!"

The man seemed pessimistic and shook his head slightly:

"Let everything be left to fate. Even if you are determined, you may not be able to achieve your wish. Look now, more and more monks from various sects are gathering in Sudan City, all rushing to this heavenly road leading to the snow-capped mountains."

The woman thought of the reason and her eyes dimmed. "Yes... Sudan is the closest to the snow mountain, and it is the only shortcut now. The roads to the other countries are either too far away or have long been swallowed by the abyss. There are strange creatures everywhere and they are completely impassable..."

"The world is in danger. I heard from the headmaster that the elders who went to the temple said..." The man walked around and whispered, "Even the temple is in a state of panic now. It is even closed in to study countermeasures. The temple is not getting any support and can't take care of itself."

The woman looked towards the door opposite again, her brows furrowed. “But even so, facing the current situation, they shouldn’t have been so slow to show up.”

The man sneered: "If it is really a disaster-level monster, the high priest will have to come in person. But the high priest is busy with all kinds of things, how can he come so quickly?"

The woman curled her lips in dissatisfaction: "What about the priest who came to blackmail them this morning? Isn't this his jurisdiction? Where is he?"

The man disagreed: "Have you forgotten? Didn't these people beg the temple not to intervene? Now they are just suffering the consequences of their own actions." "But if the evil serpent really breaks out, all these onlookers will suffer!"

"That's their business," the man said coldly. "The troubles in Mobei should be borne by the people of Mobei themselves. Isn't it good for us to just watch the fun?"

"Brother, you are too cold-blooded."

"If you are too immersed in worldly affairs, you may not be able to keep a cool head. This is even more important when you come to the snowy mountains."

The woman shook her head stubbornly: "How can I save the world if I don't understand the world?"

The man glanced at her calmly and said in a low voice: "The teachings of the divine book... are already outdated."

The woman was shocked when she heard this and stared at him in disbelief.

"Even the priests ignore the teachings of the sacred book, and you still care about it?" the man sneered.

The woman shook her head stubbornly: "I don't believe they really don't care. If this evil den really breaks out, the priests will never sit idly by. I almost died in the evil den when I was a child, and it was the priests who saved me. Even if there is another way, I don't want to doubt the temple..."

"You saw what happened this morning, do you still think so?"

The woman shook her head stubbornly: "Although there are bad guys among us, I won't kill them all with one stick."

The man smiled and said, "Why don't we make a bet? Will this evil creature explode first, or will the so-called priest arrive first?"

Before he finished speaking, a voice suddenly came from downstairs: "The High Priest has arrived, please make way!"

They were both stunned and quickly looked over.

I saw a sedan chair being carried by the servants of God, with a priest in red sitting in the sedan chair, while the priest Haik from the morning was walking dejectedly beside them.

It was late at night and there were only a few people watching, but when they saw the man in red, they recognized him as the famous High Priest Elaine of the temple and immediately prostrated themselves on the ground with a look of respect on their faces.

The family of four downstairs had been waiting anxiously. When they heard the noise, they stood up quickly. A look of surprise instantly appeared on their faces. The father kept muttering:

"It's High Priest Elaine... There's salvation, there's salvation!"

The purple-shirted woman looked at this scene and couldn't help but turn her head and glance at the man proudly, "Look, the one who came is not even an ordinary priest, but a high priest! It means that the temple is still..."

However, she stopped talking because Senior Brother Qiu seemed to be completely deaf to her sarcasm. He just stared straight at the mansion opposite, as if he had lost his mind.

The woman was puzzled and followed his gaze. After a moment, the smile on her face suddenly froze, replaced by a look of shock.

The door of the house opposite was already open.

A woman in a green shirt walked out of the house slowly with a woman who looked listless. The woman looked pale but seemed to be sober.

The woman in green walked steadily with a cool look in her eyes, and she was so calm as if she had just done something very ordinary.

Behind them, a chubby old man was holding one person in each hand, as if he was holding two soft rabbits.

And further behind was the man in fancy clothes, dragging two people and carrying another on his back. His face was filled with fatigue. He walked out of the gate step by step with difficulty, and finally collapsed on the ground, gasping for breath, as if he had exhausted all his strength.

"Is this... the end?"

The woman looked at the scene in disbelief and murmured softly.

At the gate, the second son of the Zhuoerkin family was supporting the weak woman who came out of the house. The two of them hugged each other and cried, their tears filled with joy of surviving the disaster.

The purple-shirted woman turned around and looked at the man, her eyes full of questions, but saw that the man also had a confused look on his face, as if he had not fully understood what was happening.

"It seems...right?" the man answered hesitantly.

How long had it been?

The two looked at each other, and then looked at the bowl of hot wine that had just been poured in front of the woman.

The heat is still rising, as if it has never dissipated.
