Chapter 119 Surviving Paranoia
Chenghuo followed Lezheng Xunyi's words and said: "So the meaning of finding a friend is that you let me compete for the spot of Xianwei captain?"

"good."

Lezheng Xunyi had also heard of the title of "No.1 under the Deep Dive Period" of Survival, and he said confidently: "After all, with the strength of being a Taoist friend, the position of captain of the Xianwei should be pretty sure, right?"

Shenghuo said again: "Then this time, is it still the same as the selection of Xianwei before, and the final candidate will be determined through the group arena?"

"The captain of the Xianwei still pays more attention to comprehensive ability."

Le Zheng pondered for a moment and then said: "In short, the screening should not be just a group arena competition. As for how to choose specifically, Li Zhuo from Tianwei Mansion, Yun Rusong, the head of the Dao Sect, and Xuan Xuan, the abbot of the Great Buddhism, will be selected. Think about these three people's decision."

Although becoming the captain of the Xianwei, there will be many constraints in his actions.

But now that the catastrophe is approaching, being able to break through to the deep dive stage as soon as possible, and raising one's strength to another level, means one more possibility of survival.

Considering this, Survival responded: "Okay, I participated in the selection of the captain of the Xianwei this time, what do I need to do next?"

"Follow me to Tianwei Mansion first." Le Zhengxun said together: "Only those who have joined Tianwei Mansion and become a monk of Xianwei are eligible to run for the captain of Xianwei."

After getting the affirmative reply, Le Zheng Xunyi left with his junior sister Mengyao.

Three days later, a team named "Wuya Sect" appeared in the refugee area outside Bianjing City under the banner of "Catastrophe is approaching, the new god will save the world".

According to the teachings, believers in the Wuya religion need to believe in the supreme, omniscient and omnipotent Lord 'Wuya'.

After the catastrophe of the West comes, 'Woooo' will come to the world, rescue the world from suffering, and build a new world with only desire and pleasure.

Perhaps it is because of people's fear of the catastrophe in the West.

It could be some other reason too.

In short, the Wuya religion that appeared in the refugee area has developed rapidly. In just three or four days, more than half of the refugees have become its followers.

Due to the large number of followers of the Wuna Sect and the serious illness of the Emperor Liang, the princes in the court were deliberately planning to seize the throne, and the catastrophe in the West was about to come.

Under internal and external troubles, the imperial court was simply unable to govern the followers of the Minga Sect.
...

The southern part of Bianjing City.

Inside the Tianwei Mansion resident.

Under the recommendation of Lezheng Xunyi, he survived and successfully joined Tianwei Mansion three days later.

On the way to meet Li Zhuo, Wei of the Tianwei Mansion, Chenghuo Tongle was looking for a chat about the "Wuya Sect" outside Bianjing.

"Actually, there is a reason why the imperial court announced the news of the 'Western Catastrophe' to the world in advance."

Le Zhengxun rushed forward and said: "In order to cultivate immortal guards, Tianwei Mansion has recruited too many embryo-building and blood-dan stage monks in one go."

"And monks need to absorb the 'power of pain' in their practice."

"After the number of monks increases, it is definitely not enough to rely solely on the 'power of pain' that mortals in Bianjing naturally exude due to birth, old age, illness and death."

"That's why in order to solve this problem, the imperial court announced the news of the catastrophe in the west in advance, causing a large number of people to move eastward outside the city of Bianjing."

"These common people gather outside the city of Bianjing, and their living conditions are harsh, so a large amount of 'power of pain' is generated almost every day."

"In this way, the newly recruited cultivators in the Tianwei Mansion will have a lot of 'power of pain' available."

"But never thought about it."

Speaking of this, Le Zhengxun smiled wryly again and said, "I never thought that there would be a so-called 'Wuya Cult' outside the city, and somehow the common people would join in."

"normal."

Survival took over and said: "The poorer the people's lives, the easier it is for them to believe in gods, Buddhas and religions, or to get rich overnight, or to have other beliefs. The rise is unexpected and reasonable."

"I can't see it!" Hearing Cheng Huo's explanation, Le Zhengxun said in surprise, "Unexpectedly, Fellow Cheng Dao also knows the way of the emperor!"

"Is this the way of the emperor?"

Chenghuo was speechless when Le Zhengxun said: "In my hometown, many people can understand this truth."

"Your hometown?" Le Zhengxun was startled when he heard that.

But to live is to laugh but not to speak.

This made Tieniu who was following Shenghuo couldn't help but say: "Shenghuo, you were just imagining that you came from another world?"

Survival didn't respond to Tieniu, but just glanced at Le Zhengxun who was at the side.

Seeing this, Tieniu said again: "Don't worry, Xundaoyou can't hear us. Only when I want Xundaoyou to hear me, can he hear my voice."

After dispelling Cheng Huo's worries, Tieniu continued to chatter: "Sheng Huo, you and I grew up together in Shenshu Village, and those memories are still vivid in my mind, and there is absolutely no falsehood. "

"Besides, coming from another world, this kind of thing sounds outrageous no matter how it sounds. It's obviously something that can only happen in fantasy."

Survival frowned.

He couldn't help but retorted to Tieniu: "Since you said that you can still remember the memories of me and you when we were young, why would you pick a few of them and talk about them?"

"This"

Tieniu thought hard, but no matter what, he couldn't remember even a little bit of childhood memories.

He faltered for a long time before giving an explanation: "After all, I am a house without beginning and end, generated from your memory, so if you forget what happened in the past, then it is impossible for me to recall the past matter."

Chenghuo was speechless: "How can a person's memory be completely forgotten? I can't remember it because I was never in Shenshu Village when I was a child."

"Ugh,"

After Tieniu sighed, he fell silent and said nothing more.

at the same time.

Le Zhengxun, who was on the side, saw it, and said with a worried face: "Friend Cheng, you were talking to the Iron Bull you imagined just now?"

"Don't worry, I'm fine now."

During the conversation, Shenghuo and Lezheng Xunyi came to the residence of Wei Lizhuo in Tianwei Mansion.

He patted Le Zhengxun on the shoulder, and said with a normal expression: "Then I will go to see Mr. Li first, find a friend and wait outside."

Le Zhengxun smiled and waved his hands: "Go, go."

Survival cupped his hands and left on his own.

"Ugh,"

A few seconds later, Le Zhengxun let out a long sigh as he watched the back of Survival leaving.

With a helpless expression on his face, he said to Meng Qingyao, his little junior sister, "The reason why you become a Taoist friend is probably because of the battle in Ruyun City."

"In order to defeat the little Buddhist monk Wu Sheng, Cheng Daoyou took the initiative to deepen the infection in his body, which caused his appearance to become weird, and his mental state often lost control."

"Although Cheng Daoyou has become stronger, and even became the 'No.1 under the deep dive period', his mental state has also become abnormal since that day."

"Now two years have passed, and although you are no longer out of control, and your appearance has gradually returned to the same as a normal person, unfortunately, you have suffered from hypochondria."

"It really is."

"Ugh!"

Lezheng Xunyi sighed again, and analyzed: "The paranoia of Cheng Daoyou is probably caused by missing friends who have passed away and becoming ill after missing them."

The junior sister Meng Qingyao who likes to follow Le Zheng Xunyi, the most beautiful thing is her eyes.

Big and powerful.

She likes to blink when she thinks.

Immediately blinking his eyes, he said, "So, senior brother, what you mean is that the Tie Niu and Yuan Xiujie mentioned by fellow Taoists don't exist at all?"

She was puzzled: "But if it doesn't exist, how could we hear or even touch the iron bull when we were in Chengdaoyou's house that day?"

"It's not easy."

Le Zhengxun thought for a while and said, "You should still remember that Fellow Cheng Dao has the ability to 'fetch objects from space'."

"The iron bull we touched that day was nothing more than the feeling of touch created by a friend who became a Taoist using the 'fetch from space' spell."

"With sound, it's even easier"

"In addition to ventriloquism and voice transmission, there are too many spells in the world that can create voices out of thin air."

"Really!" When Meng Qingyao and Le Zhengxun were together, she always believed whatever Le Zhengxun said.

This time, of course, there was no doubt at all.

She thought for a while and then said: "But You Cheng Daoist suffers from delusional disorder and imagined two dead friends. I can understand this, but why does he insist on us believing it? He even used various methods to help us understand the truth." A spell to create an illusion."

Le Zhengxun said for a while: "Eunuch Qin, who is with the emperor, you should still remember, right? Doesn't he always have a puppet in his hand?"

"Remember, what's wrong?" Meng Qingyao asked puzzled.

Le Zhengxun said: "The puppet in Eunuch Qin's hands is actually a typical paranoia: I always imagine that there is a person who is worthy of acting for me, and I can't extricate myself from it. The reason why the puppet can speak is because of Eunuch Qin. Knows 'ventriloquism'."

"what!?"

Meng Qingyao suddenly said: "So, Eunuch Qin is not pretending to talk to the puppet in his hand. Does he really think that the puppet in his hand is a living person?"

"Um"

Le Zhengxun nodded.

He looked at the direction where Survival left, with even more sorrow in his eyes.
And just as Lezheng Xunyi was talking with his younger junior sister Meng Qingyao.

Tie Niu's voice suddenly sounded from the ears of the two of them: "Well, looking for a friend, although you really can't see me, it doesn't mean that I really don't exist."

"It's fine for the two of you to show your affection in front of me, but to say in front of me that I was created by Shenghuo's fantasy, isn't it a little too much for you?"

! !
Hearing Tieniu's voice, Le Zhengxun was shocked.

He looked around, hoping to find out who was hiding in the corner.

Not surprisingly, the "Iron Bull" who spoke just now was the sound made by Shenghuo through ventriloquism, or the technique of sound transmission for thousands of miles.

Correct.

It must be so right.
Thinking of this, Le Zhengxun tried to rush to Cheng Huo who was hiding and said, "Cheng Dao friend, stop playing, come out quickly!"

"Becoming a friend?"

"Becoming a friend?"

no response
...

at the same time.

Outside the Ninth Prince's mansion, on the street.

An old man with a white face and beardless wearing a red bullfighting robe came slowly from not far from the street.

When they reached the door of the Ninth Prince's mansion, they tapped on the knocker and said, "Hurry up, open the door for our house!"

This white-faced, beardless old man had a soft and high-pitched voice.

As soon as the porter heard his voice, he immediately recognized the old man's identity.

He opened the door for the old man, and said respectfully, "Eunuch Qin, you are here!"

"Yeah." Eunuch Qin raised his head and didn't look at the concierge. He just let out a voice through his nose: "Is the Ninth Prince there?"

Facing Eunuch Qin, the gatekeeper kept his head down, and responded: "Yes, Eunuch Qin, come with me."

After saying that, he led Eunuch Qin to the depths of the mansion.

Eunuch Qin turned his head and said to the two young eunuchs who were following behind him: "You two just wait here, don't look or talk nonsense, just be smart!"

After the concierge led Eunuch Qin to the main hall, he took his leave and left.

But in the main hall, there was a man who was no more than four feet tall, but his appearance was no different from that of an adult, lying in the arms of a slim maid.

This is a dwarf.

At this moment, his head was resting on the maid's lap.

Seeing Eunuch Qin coming, he hurriedly waved his hand to signal the maid beside him to back down, and then he said, "How is it, how many people have joined our Wu Na sect?"

Eunuch Qin didn't speak, but just looked up at his left hand.

On his left hand, there is a puppet made of hemp and damask. Its workmanship is a little rough, and it looks like a child's toy.

Eunuch Qin stared at the puppet, shaking his left arm slightly.

Along with his movements, the puppet smiled and said, "Hey, praise Lord Wuya! Right now, the court is busy with Emperor Tianhui's illness, and there is no time to take care of our Wuya religion."

"In just three days, our Wuna religion has developed nearly 3 believers."

"Some of the more pious believers have begun to enshrine the statue of Lord Wuya in the refugee area outside Bianjing City."

The voice made by the puppet was rough and heroic, which was in sharp contrast to Eunuch Qin's status as a eunuch.

People watched it, and unconsciously felt strange in their hearts.

But perhaps it has long been familiar.

For the puppet in Eunuch Qin's hands, the Ninth Prince didn't react too much, but turned his head inadvertently, trying not to look at the puppet.

He said with a hint of joy in his tone: "It's already pretty good, what about Bianjing City?"

"As for the city of Bianjing?" The puppet looked at Eunuch Qin and said, "Brother Qin Feng, let's talk about it."

"Hey!"

Eunuch Qin took advantage of the situation and said, "Although the imperial court doesn't restrict us from doing things outside the city, it is still relatively strict in Bianjing, so there are not many believers in the city yet."

"It's okay, let's take it step by step."

The corners of the Ninth Prince's mouth raised slightly, as if everything was under his control: "Also, please trouble Eunuch Qin to pay more attention to my third brother recently."

"Third prince?" Eunuch Qin said with a hint of doubt in his tone.

The Ninth Prince said: "Recently, he has been in contact with the group of monks at the blood pill stage in Yinsijian, and he probably will make a big move."

"In addition to Senior Yun, Abbot Xuansi and Lord Li, these three deep dive monks are not allowed to act at will."

"So if it really comes to the day of action, no accidents, the third brother's power should be the biggest in Bianjing City."

"We must not take this lightly."

"Our family understands!" After hearing what the Ninth Prince said, Eunuch Qin hurriedly replied.

"This subordinate understands!" At the same time, the puppet in Eunuch Qin's hand also responded in time.

After a brief conversation, Eunuch Qin led the two young eunuchs and left quietly through the back door of the Ninth Prince's mansion
