The rising sun shatters the darkness!

Chapter 421: Mutations and Secrets (asking for monthly tickets)
A magical piece of equipment dropped from the evil cult gang that he killed easily, and Xu Shu liked it very much.

But now this magical equipment has disappeared inexplicably, and Xu Shu is very unhappy.

"Strange, I remember it clearly, I put it in the storage bag, there is no way it could have been lost."

Xu Shu frowned and turned the space inside the lace upside down. He took out everything one by one and placed them in a row on the table, but still found no trace of "Aphrodite's Wisdom Tooth".

He began to wonder if the divine wisdom tooth had spontaneously become embedded in other objects?
But after checking, no matter whether it was the Fallen Holy Grail, the two cross sword spell tools of the Red Emperor Army, or the imaginary cores from the two "mechanical experts", there was no change, and there was no situation of being suddenly "enchanted".

Including the dozen or so erosion crystals of different qualities and levels in the package, there was nothing special about them.

"Could it be that it was absorbed by the storage bag itself?"

Xu Shu's heart sank, but he quickly dismissed the idea.

Although his storage underwear is somewhat special, as it is a mutated item from an alien monster called "Seductive Flower Puppet", there is indeed some mystery in it.

But after all, it is just an item of 'excellent' quality.

How could it have the right to eat a god-level relic?
After searching everywhere without any results, Xu Shu suddenly remembered something.

Earlier in the journey, when Narrow-sleeved Guanyin first encountered wisdom teeth, he showed a considerable degree of excitement and abnormality.

Even though I didn't use her, she kept emitting life-threatening Sanskrit sounds, and I couldn't turn her off!
Xu Shu had almost forgotten about this matter.

But now with the disappearance of the Wisdom Tooth of God, he suddenly became alert and began to doubt her.

It reminds me that this is not the first time that the Narrow-sleeved Guanyin has secretly eaten something. For example, the "ghost spirit" Qiansui Niangniang in the underground ruins and Wu Liuzhi's strange servant "Fu Shi" An Lan were all swallowed by the little jade Buddha without their knowledge.

Although the situation this time was somewhat different, Xu Shu had previously guessed a rule that only an "evil spirit" that had special contact with him could trigger being swallowed by the little jade Buddha.

This time, the 'Aphrodite Wisdom Tooth' does not seem to belong to the "evil spirit" and is not within this rule.

But this did not stop him from being suspicious, after all, she had a criminal record!

After searching for a long time, she is the only suspicious one left.

"Don't play dead. Tell me if you took it." Xu Shu placed the small jade Buddha in front of him and asked solemnly.

The Narrow-sleeved Guanyin did not move. She had a dignified appearance, beautiful and attractive, with her eyes tightly closed, as if she was in deep sleep.

After hearing Xu Shu's question, the "primordial spirit" slowly opened its beautiful big eyes, and looked at Xu Shu with pure, clear, innocent eyes, confused and simple.

She couldn't speak, so she answered in another way.

"Ah? Oh oh... Sir, the Bodhisattva said she doesn't know about Nirvana~" The air next to the little jade Buddha vibrated slightly, and Ji Yu's timid voice came out.

"Don't know? Humph, stop pretending, you are plotting against me, right?"

Xu Shu knew something was wrong as soon as he saw it. Without saying anything, he picked up the little jade Buddha and stuffed it into the sink. He swung it back and forth like he was washing vegetables, and said viciously:
"Will you tell me or not? If you don't, it won't be as simple as just soaking in water!"

Within a minute, under Xu Shu's questioning, the Narrow-sleeved Guanyin could no longer bear his shaking.

She had to open her mouth, revealing bright and shining white teeth at the corners of her mouth. The lonely tooth was like a white jade, sparkling.

"Oh my goodness, you really stole it!"

Although the size was reduced several times, Xu Shu still recognized it at a glance.

Without saying a word, he started to pick at her, trying to knock out her wisdom tooth.

However, Narrow-sleeved Guanyin immediately closed her mouth, pecked him lightly, blinked her eyes, and had a flattering expression.

"Acting cute? Acting cute is useless! Are you kidding me? How can I give you this good thing? Then I will have to work for you."

Xu Shu was not fooled at all and pried her apart with force to remove the tooth.

But no matter how hard he tried, the tooth seemed to have taken root and did not move at all.

A hint of coldness flashed across Xu Shu's eyes: "Okay, okay, in that case, I can only send you to the West."

He immediately stood up from the pool and pretended to go to the safe zone to blow her up, kill the Buddha and take the treasure.

Now the little jade Buddha was really scared. Each of her eyeballs flashed a vortex, and one vortex was embedded in another vortex, as if expressing some implicit meaning.

Ji Yu helped translate and said, "Sir, sir, the Bodhisattva asked me to tell her that this thing is destined to be with her."

Xu Shu was so angry that he laughed: "Bullshit, I think the crystal in her body is destined to be with me! You useless thing dares to steal it, today I must teach you what the rules are!"

Ji Yu hurriedly said, "Sir, the Bodhisattva said that this thing got through on its own and she didn't intend to drive it away, but she can control it and can help you."

"Do you think I believe it or not?"

"Monks don't tell lies."

"Oh? Really?"

Seeing this, Xu Shu touched his chin.

If Narrow-sleeved Guanyin can really digest and control this thing and use it for her own benefit, then it does not seem unacceptable.

After all, Steve's steps for using wisdom teeth are quite complicated, and it seems that he has to put the wisdom teeth into his mouth first.

Xu Shu had to weigh this carefully. This thing was a "relic of God". Who knew if it had any other costs or side effects? He didn't dare to use it carelessly. Besides, his teeth were in good condition, so he didn't really want to change his dentures.

But if it grew on the body of Narrow-sleeved Guanyin and she was able to use it, it would be equivalent to saving herself the trouble and letting her bear the risk.

"But, God's wisdom tooth..."

Xu Shu narrowed his eyes slightly.

Compared to the fact that the little jade Buddha swallowed the wisdom tooth, what he cares more about now is actually the origin of the narrow-sleeved Guanyin.

They are both primordial spirits and judging from the names, "Narrow-sleeved Guanyin" and "Tail-bearing Ksitigarbha" are obviously similar.

They were not compared together before because the former was only at the first level, while the latter was a sixth-level god-level existence. They were obviously not on the same level, and it was hard for people to think that they were at the same level.

But now, as the Narrow-sleeved Guanyin continues to devour evil spirits and becomes stronger, and now she is even able to control divine relics, Xu Shu has to make more guesses.

Since "Ksitigarbha with the Tail in His Mouth" is a special existence formed by the fusion of the pale god of death 'Arthas' and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, is there a possibility that the same is true for the Narrow-sleeved Avalokitesvara?
Was she also created by the fusion of a god and a bodhisattva during the catastrophe?

Maybe she was more seriously injured, so she was weaker at the beginning and needed to gradually recover her strength?
This... this seems very possible...

Have I really been blaspheming Buddha all along?
...Thinking of this, Xu Shu, the master of imagination, felt a little confused.

After hesitating for a moment, he poked the little jade Buddha's nipples with his fingers.

"Come on~Have fun~" The narrow-sleeved Guanyin began to sing, charming and seductive, and all the listeners were moved.

Xu Shu touched her again and the singing stopped immediately.

After thinking for a moment, he touched another switch, causing her to make a cheerful voice like "Look here, girl across the street~".

After singing for a while, Xu Shu touched her again and the singing stopped again.

"Aren't you angry?" Xu Shu first lay flat on the ground, pressed his thumbs on the belly button and jade legs of the little jade Buddha figurine, rubbing back and forth, smiling, and looked at her quietly.

"..."Narrow-sleeved Guanyin also looked at Xu Shu silently, her appearance still dignified, her eyes friendly and calm but revealing a hint of nervousness.

The entire bathtub was silent. Apart from the caressing of Xu Shu's large hands, no other sounds could be heard.

"It's already like this, you're really not angry, and you won't attack me? Logically speaking, I looked at her for so long and smiled at her. If she really wanted to rebel, she would have a chance to deal with me right now. She just needs to release her wisdom tooth..."

Xu Shu narrowed his eyes and moved the "Self-Severing Meridians" that was already at his lips away.

——He dared to test it like this, so he had the confidence. The effect triggered by the combination of "self-severing meridians + sit-ups" could completely resist attacks below the forbidden level in an instant.

But now it seems that the Narrow-sleeved Guanyin has withstood the test.

After a moment of silence, Xu Shu said, "Well, I'll trust you this time, but I have to make an agreement with you. If something like this happens again, you must tell me yourself, don't wait for me to find out."

The narrow-sleeved Guanyin blinked her eyes, as if to express her agreement.

Seeing this, Xu Shu hung her around his waist again.

After washing up, he left the bath center and walked to the station, thinking that he would wait until tomorrow to find an opportunity to ask someone to try the quality of the wisdom tooth to see if it could be used in actual combat.

Just as he was making plans, Xu Shu was halfway through his journey in an alley when he suddenly heard a strange noise.

"How could this happen...Brother Xi? Brother Xi! Chen Sheng, you are crazy! Brother Xi was killed by you!"

"I... did you see it? This is the price of not believing in the Mother Goddess! If you believe in the Mother Goddess, you won't die, see!"

“Crack! Crack!”

“Crack, crack!” Uh…

Xu Shu was stunned for a moment.

What the hell is going on?
He took two steps forward and turned his head to see three men in the alley.

One of the young men had already fallen in a pool of blood, and it was obvious that he had lost too much blood and was beyond help.

The other man wearing a brown soft hat and a white sweater is obviously Chen Sheng.

His face was as pale as a drug addict, and he held a blood-stained curved short blade in his hand, stabbing himself repeatedly.

Those crackling sounds come from here.

The strange thing was that no matter how he moved, his knife couldn't hurt himself.

Seeing this, Chen Sheng's expression gradually became crazy: "Haha, hahaha! See? Under the protection of the Mother Goddess, I am already invulnerable! As long as you join, your mother can be saved. Wang Jie, your mother is so seriously ill, don't you want to save her?"

"But..." Wang Jie's face turned pale, "But Brother Xi..."

Chen Sheng's eyes were bloodshot. "Don't worry about him. I can give you his body as proof of your conversion! With this, you can pass the test directly, and the bishop will help you save your mother!"

"Brother Sheng, please stop it! This must be a cult, and you have been brainwashed by their people! We still have time to send Brother Xi to the hospital now!" Wang Jie almost cried.

"I knew you would say this. We who are chosen by God will definitely be questioned by others. This is God's test for us! You don't believe me, do you? Come on, stab me with your knife. I really have God's protection!" Chen Sheng handed the knife to the other party.

Wang Jie was provoked and stabbed Chen Sheng regardless of the consequences.

Chen Sheng patted his stomach and found that the wound was gone: "See? This is God's gift!"

"This..." Wang Jie was completely stunned.

"Ajie, we grew up together. Have I ever lied to you? I can hear the call of the Mother Goddess, do you understand?" Chen Sheng said.

"But..." Wang Jie was still hesitating. When he saw with his own eyes that the other party was "invulnerable to swords and guns", his will began to waver.

Just when they were at a stalemate, Xu Shu suddenly said, "I think it's okay. I also want to convert. Brother Chen Sheng, take me to see the bishop."

"Hahaha okay... um, who are you?" Chen Sheng first agreed with a big laugh, then looked at Xu Shu blankly.

He didn't recognize the strange bearded man who suddenly appeared.

Xu Shu thought for a moment and said, "I am fortunate to have heard the Mother Goddess' call. Perhaps you are my guide, and you will lead me to the Mother Goddess and reunite with my brothers and sisters."

"Guide...guide, yes!" Chen Sheng's eyes widened, and after mumbling a few words to himself, he asked in ecstasy, "Brother, what's your name?"

"Yu Mingluan."

"Very good, Brother Yu Mingluan, as long as you join our church, you will be my brother! You can also hear the call of the Mother Goddess, and you will have the grace of God in your body. Let's work together to convince Ajie!"

As Chen Sheng spoke, he gripped the knife tightly and stabbed it into Xu Shu's neck.

Jam!

The blade broke instantly and fell to the ground.

"..." Chen Sheng was stunned. This knife was the 'blessed blade' given to him by the bishop. He only knew that people blessed by God were invulnerable to swords and guns, but he didn't know what it meant if the knife broke, because it didn't break when he stabbed himself.

Xu Shu took a look at the blood-stained runes on the other person's body, and he knew that this knife was special.

This is a "cursed blade" that was apparently made by a "nun"
The other party had written special trigger runes on Chen Sheng's body with holy water. The cursed blade was special. Under the stimulation of the owner's holy water, it would become a "soft knife" and would not hurt people; in other cases, it would be a sharp blade.

This method seems quite mysterious. It is not an ordinary magic trick, but a method used by extraordinary people. Therefore, it is normal that two ordinary people cannot see the strangeness in it.

However, Xu Shu did not explain this, but smiled and said: "Look, I am not injured. The Mother Goddess really exists."

Chen Sheng immediately put aside his doubts and said to his childhood friend, "Ajie, what are you still hesitating about?"

With the cooperation of Xu Shu and Chen Sheng, Wang Jie was completely smitten and burst into tears, shouting, "Okay, I'll join! I want the Mother Goddess to cure my mother's illness!"

Chen Sheng was overjoyed: "Let's go, I'll take you to see the bishop! Brother Yu Mingluan will come too!"

The three of them immediately carried the body off the ground and headed to the "secret church" not far away.

According to Chen Sheng, their church must now preach in secret. This is a test from God to the believers and they must not doubt it, otherwise it would be blasphemy.

On the way, Xu Shu looked around and found that this place was far away from the downtown area and was a rather old and dilapidated community.

Because of his strange whereabouts, a skinny old man with a pale face on the roadside would notice him from time to time, but they were already having a hard time and didn't care about other people's troubles. They just closed the gate silently and pretended not to see it.

"It was a good idea for the cult to hide in this place to preach, and they didn't even call the police."

"Haha, they want to give cursed blades to believers. They use this lame way that is almost fraudulent to preach. Obviously, their level is not high. It can just serve as a touchstone for my sword. It's really like a pillow when you are sleepy."

Xu Shu nodded silently, but he was a little confused, so he asked casually:
"Brother Sheng, what is the full name of our church? I only vaguely heard the call, and I don't know as much as senior believers like you."

Chen Sheng was very pleased with the flattery. He did not doubt it and answered sincerely:

"The great being we believe in is called..."

……

……

"Admission ticket to the Dark Mother Church? Are you sure?"

In the underground ruins that resembled a church, Gu Pan fiddled with a silver key in his hand with a little surprise. This thing didn't seem to be related to the word "admission pass" at all.

This is deep in the northern wasteland outside the D8B4 area.

After two consecutive days of sneak attacks, the pioneer team finally succeeded in breaking through the abandoned temple guarded by 13 third-level alien "Wailing Banshees".

——Yes, under Gu Pan’s persuasion, everyone finally took the risk. The six-member team attacked thirteen monster nests of the same level, and finally they actually wiped out the magic cave.

Among them, Gu Pan naturally contributed the most. If it weren't for her, these banshees with amazing vitality would be difficult to deal with.

And after a battle that lasted so long, the gains were naturally astonishing.

In addition to a large number of erosion crystals, the pioneer team also found a treasure trove in this abandoned temple.

It was filled with gold and various human skulls, placed there like a sacrifice.

In the center of the altar, however, is not a statue of God, but a huge silver key as thick as a baby's arm!
"Hasn't the Dark Mother Church been in decline for a long time? What are the benefits of joining them?" Gu Pan couldn't help but ask his doubts.

The others were stunned for a moment, seemingly not knowing how to answer, or even whether to answer.

Ms. Xifa glanced at her, a trace of admiration flashed in her beautiful eyes, and she said softly: "It seems that Jun Moxiao, you don't know much about this. Hehe, you should know about the large ruins of the Sea of ​​Death [One Hundred Demons Night Parade]. There is a special secret place on the other side of the main continent, called "Silent Hill of Death". It cannot be passed by ordinary means, and you must have a trigger to enter.

“And this Dark Mother Goddess Church admission ticket is the trigger for this place!

"Some of my friends have explored it before. According to them, Silent Hill is full of dangers and you must enter the 'Dark Mother Church' inside before dark. However, the higher the risk, the greater the reward, so many people are flocking to it.

"Let's not talk about other things. Just guess how much this admission pass would sell for on the black market? At least eight thousand. The best market price could even be over ten thousand contributions."

"so much?"

Gu Pan was slightly surprised. This value was even greater than the sum of the values ​​of the crystals of the thirteen "Banshees".

After understanding the value of the items, the next question naturally arises: how to distribute them.

As previously agreed, all spoils will be selected by "Jun Mo Xiao" first.

However, the value of the admission permit is so high that it is impossible for it to belong to her alone. Most likely, it will be distributed according to its value after it is sold.

This will naturally gain everyone's agreement.

At this time, the "Dragon Elephant" in the team suddenly said in a muffled voice: "I think that since everyone is working together happily, we may not be unable to go and try our luck in Silent Hill. What do you think, brother Jun Moxiao?"

As soon as this was said, the other teammates looked at Gu Pan at the same time: "That makes sense, in that case, the value of this trigger should be maximized!"

"Want to try it out?"

Gu Pan touched his chin and finally nodded, "Okay, but I have a request."

Everyone was delighted and asked:
"any request."

"Brother Jun Moxiao proposed it, so we must do it!"

Amidst the laughter, Gu Pan looked at the "Dragon Elephant" who laughed the loudest, nodded slightly and said:
"Change to a dragon elephant."

“Eh???” The expressions of the Longxiang brothers froze on their faces.
