Four hundred and forty-four chapters masked dwarf
But after he screamed, he suddenly asked me: "Where is the clothes?"
I didn't immediately realize what he meant, so he explained to me: "It's the clothes we mainly wear today. I remember you were holding that bag."
He forgot how he came here, but remembered the matter of clothes. Such selective memory may be a reflection of his piety.
I picked up the travel bag from the floor and unzipped it.
Yesterday I first put the green steel sword into this bag, and then took it out, but I never had the chance to study what was installed inside. At this time, I could only see clearly with the sunlight shining in from the window that the travel bag contained several black robes and some black iron chains.
I know the robe is worn on my body, but what are the iron chains used for?
Boss Zhang ran to me excitedly, picked a robe from his travel bag that suited his body shape and put it on his body, took out an iron chain, and hung it around his neck.
If the iron chain is taken apart, it is at least one meter long, but Boss Zhang actually hung it around his neck like a necklace. The tattered robe made him look like an ancient prisoner.
I asked Boss Zhang: "You wear this way...is it okay?"
Boss Zhang looked at me with great confusion: "Will you see a person dressed like this whenever we recall our previous life? In our previous life, we said that only by dressing like this can we show our devotion to miracles."
I widened my eyes and said, "I thought I was the only one who saw it!"
Boss Zhang gave me an unhappy look: "Tsk, do you think you are the only one who is pious?"
After saying that, he went to the bathroom in that piece of clothing, and I breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, I reacted quickly and barely got through the test.
At around nine o'clock, everyone in the room finished their meal, changed into black robes, and was determined to wait for the leader's summons.
I was a little worried. I didn't know how the so-called leader planned to meet these students, whether he would meet fifty people at once or summon them one by one. If Liang Houzai's speculation was correct yesterday and the meeting time was very short, then the former would be more likely.
But the others obviously didn't have such thoughts. They all looked pious and were waiting silently.
Not long after, the bald man appeared at the door. He was only injured last night and was able to move his arms freely early this morning. He stood in front of the door, pointed to the people in the room one by one, and said coldly: "Come on all." Then he turned around and left.
The other people who lived in the same room with me jumped off the bed as soon as they heard him and ran out of the house.
I followed them and walked out slowly.
After leaving the earthen house, I realized that there were many people gathering outside. Liang Houzai's speculation was indeed correct. At this time, all the students who participated in the summoned this time came out of the house, and everyone looked impatient.
Yi Qingping and Wang Daogu and others commanded everyone to line up in a long line. Bald man took me to the end of the line because of my grudge. It seemed that as long as I could see the "Chief Leader" later, it would be a successful revenge for him.
The headmaster counted the number of people and confirmed that everyone was in the queue, then shouted "Go!", while Yi Qingping led the entire team to the house in the center of the village.
The house in the center of the village looks much larger than the dirt house we lived in last night, and there is also a spacious dirt courtyard outside.
I saw several students who drove yesterday standing at the gate of the yard. Most of them either looked dull or were as pious as Boss Zhang, but I found that there was a person inside with a very strange expression. Only he glanced at everyone walking into the yard, and the others looked straight ahead, as if we didn't exist. When he saw us, there was always a little helplessness in his eyes. He seemed to want to stop us, but he didn't dare to talk too much.
Until I followed the team to the last one into the courtyard, the young man still said nothing.
Yi Qingping led the team into the house. I saw a secret door connected to the wall opposite the door. The light was very weak and students kept walking in. Then I saw their positions slowly dropping until their heads disappeared from my view. The door was connected to a slanted downward secret passage.
I was the last one to enter the secret door. When I walked into the secret passage, the secret door was closed, and there was a slight metal collision sound outside. It was probably the person outside who was locking the secret door.
At this moment, I suddenly heard a muffled "bang" sound outside the door, and the sound of metal collision from the door handle stopped abruptly.
I couldn't help but smile. It must be Liang Houzai and the others who had touched it. They didn't know how to use the method to knock the person who locked the door, and that dull sound appeared.
The secret passage was very deep. I followed the team for a long time before I arrived at a spacious area with bright lights.
This is a ground hole dug in the depths of the ground. It is about three meters away from the top of the hole and the ground. There are several thick wooden pillars supporting the top of the hole. There is a manually-drawn arch tunnel connected to each of the four walls of the hole. I don’t know where it leads to.
After Yi Qingping brought all the students into the cave, the headmaster counted the number of people again and made sure there was no problem. Then he said to Wang Daogu: "Ask the master."
Wang Daogu quickly walked into the tunnel connected to the earth wall on the left. Not long after, she walked out from the inside with a heavy-looking Taishi chair. On the surface, it should be a solid wooden chair with a very wide back and the armrests on both sides of the Taishi chair looked very thick. I guess the weight of this chair is at least more than 150 kilograms. The Wang Daogu in front of her seemed thin, but her strength is not proportional to her figure.
The princess Wang placed the Grand Master's chair in the center of the ground cave, took a deep breath, and shouted: "Welcome to the leader!"
I was about to see what the so-called leader looked like, but at this moment, someone in the team knelt down with a plop, holding his hands up and shouting: "Long live leader!"
After shouting, he crawled on the ground, facing the ground with his whole face, just like when the Qing Dynasty subjects met the emperor.
After him, the students made the same move one after another. In an instant, everyone crawled on the ground, almost burying their faces in the soil.
In order not to make Yi Qingping and the others suspicious, I also lie on the ground like they did, but I didn't shout "Long live the leader". Anyway, so many people spoke at the same time, no one would notice me.
Not long after the cave was quiet, I heard footsteps coming from the tunnel on the left. I really wanted to raise my head to see who the person coming out of the tunnel was, but everyone was lying down. If I looked up at this time, I would definitely be discovered.
After the footsteps left the tunnel, I went straight to the position where the Taishi Chair was. I heard him sit down, and then waited for the man to give the order to get everyone up.
But he didn't. After he sat down, he actually recited scriptures that were incomprehensible.
I think he must have done it on purpose, and he seems to enjoy being kneeling down.
The passage of scripture was smelly and long, and it took him a long time to stop. After that, I finally heard the words I wanted to hear the most at this time: "Get up."
I heard someone shouting "Thank you!" in front of me, and the students present echoed again. Some shouted "Thank you", some shouted "Long live the leader", and some shouted something else, but I didn't hear it clearly.
I stood up with the other students and looked towards the direction where the "Cult Leader" was, but I found that the man sitting on the Taishi chair was wearing a mask. It was a pure black mask with no patterns on it. It was a bare shell, and only four holes were dug in the eyes and nostrils.
Although I haven't seen Zhao Dekai for many years, I still remember his general height and reminder that the person in front of me was not Zhao Dekai. He was much shorter than Zhao Dekai and his figure was thinner.
To be honest, if I hadn't heard his voice just now and the adult, just seeing his thin figure, I might have mistaken him for a child about ten years old.
I tried to sense it. There was no residual mental power in this person, and the Qi field was no different from that of ordinary people.
He is not a person in the circle of practice.
He raised his hand slightly and said to the royal dao nun standing next to the chair: "Give him holy water."
The princess Wang bowed respectfully to him, then walked quickly into the tunnel on the right with the head teacher, and took a porcelain bowl and a bucket out.
The two of them were holding a bucket and the other was holding a bowl. The headmaster poured the water into the bowl, and the nun Wang handed the porcelain bowl to the students present. Everyone had to finish the water in the bowl in one sip. I found that many people had their shoulders and hands trembling when drinking water.
At first I thought there was something wrong with water or bowls, but it was not until the nun Wang Dao Nun was closer to me. When she handed the bowl to a student and the student tested it to pick it up, I realized that the student was already in tears. He took the bowl tremblingly, stuffed the water inside, and returned the bowl to the nun Wang Dao Nun with his trembling hands.
It’s not that there is a problem with the water and the bowl. The reason why the people in front of them trembled was entirely because of excessive excitement.
When the princess Wang came to me with the bowl, I also looked extremely excited, but I couldn't cry and could only keep sniffing. Fortunately, the princess Wang seemed very impatient with the current link. She didn't pay attention to my expression at all and kept staring at the bowl in my hand.
When I finished drinking the water and returned the bowl to the King Dao Niang, she sighed with relief.
The headmaster and Wang Daogu went to the other side of the tunnel again. The "Cult Master" raised his hand again and shouted: "Blessing!"
After saying that, he got off the Taishi Chair, turned around and walked towards the tunnel facing the back of the chair. Although he was not a practitioner circle, his steps were light and his arms were very powerful. In addition, the feeling of long and full of energy when he shouted just now, I could conclude that he was a practitioner and had a deep skill.
Yi Qingping followed him and led the team into the tunnel. But after walking for a while, I felt something was wrong.
There should be some fragrance powder in the tunnel, and there was a fragrance similar to flowers in the air, but in this fragrance, there was a faint smell of rust. If I guessed correctly, it should be the smell emitted after the blood dried up.
