Chapter 393 New Year’s Eve

After Hao Ren and the four bearded men left the "Kingdom of Heaven", they did not teleport home directly. Instead, they teleported to the southern suburbs and prepared to walk back. Firstly, Hao Ren wanted to take this opportunity to buy some New Year's goods. After all, the New Year was approaching, and this was the first time that a bunch of weirdos in the family were celebrating the New Year here. He wanted to make it more lively. Secondly... let the Four King Kongs be under his control. Let me lead you to get familiar with the customs and customs of this place. At least, don’t think of living in a house under the TV Tower again...

The four Vajras had already undergone spiritual reshaping when they stayed at Raven 12345, and now they have no barriers to the languages ​​on earth.

Although the southern suburbs are sparsely populated, the Chinese New Year is approaching after all, and many residents who have gone to work in the city or work outside have returned one after another, making the usually deserted streets seem lively, and the shops along the way are all busy. Festive lanterns are hung, and there are various stalls selling New Year's goods on the roadside. Although the New Year is not yet celebrated, it is already full of strong New Year flavor. Hao Ren led four ascetics who were looking around on the street and explained to them what the Chinese Spring Festival was like.

The bearded man listened a little absent-mindedly, because he had not yet gotten rid of the inexplicable mental shock when he talked with Raven 12345 before. He did not understand that this was the "symbolic" effect of believing in gods, so he was exerting all his strength at this time. Reviewing whether there was something wrong with his belief in his own goddess, he couldn't help but muttered when he heard Hao Ren balabala next to him: "When I was talking to that alien god just now... I felt an inexplicable pressure. , as a firm believer in the goddess, I shouldn’t have any special respect for other gods. Does that alien god have the power to suppress the spirit?”

Even now, he couldn't help but speak of Raven 12345 with a tone of awe.

Hao Ren thought about it, but he had never felt any mental pressure on Raven 12345: "Is this happening? I was right next to you at the time, I didn't feel it."

Of course Hao Ren didn't feel it. The mental shock felt by the four bearded men was the result of their devout faith. In addition, when the four of them faced Raven 12345, they couldn't help but admit each other's god status in their hearts. This was difficult. To escape the influence, when did Hao Ren ever believe in that lunatic? In his mind, Raven 12345 was a joke from the beginning, and he was immune to even a little mental shock...

Fortunately Raven 12345 is really a funny guy, otherwise the disrespectful thoughts broadcast in Hao Ren's heart would be enough to hit him several times a day.

Speaking of which, the Four King Kongs were still wearing the same tattered gray robes. Over the past few days, these robes seemed to be more shabby, and they really attracted more attention when walking on the street. Hao Ren was used to watching them together and didn't feel anything. But after walking on the street for a while, he realized something was wrong.

Eyes of attention appeared frequently around him. Just when Hao Reng was about to turn his head to find the source of these eyes, he saw an old lady walking towards him, it was Mrs. Li from the next street. She held Hao Ren's hand very familiarly, and the wrinkles on her face bloomed like a flower: "Hao boy, are you helping the poor?"

Mrs. Li's mouth was the poorest Hao Ren had ever seen before he met the data terminal. He immediately knew what was going on and quickly waved his hands to explain: "No, no, no, these... uh, these are my friends, a while ago My hometown was hit by a disaster, and I just came here..."

He didn't dare to introduce them as distant relatives - none of the four King Kongs looked Chinese!

After hearing this, Mrs. Li took a serious look at Big Beard and the others, and asked Hao Ren with special concern: "...are they from Ukraine?"

Hao Ren frowned and nodded: "Yes, yes, there was a fierce battle over there...even the mountains were flattened..."

Mrs. Li suddenly had a look of horror on her face: "Hey! That's terrible. I've been hearing from my grandson these days that something happened in Ukraine... By the way, please remember to go to the police station to register for them. We have to prevent spies from infiltrating. Come in……"

The old lady was quite aware of this. Hao Ren broke out in a cold sweat after hearing this, and nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, yes... you are busy, you are busy..." Seeing that the old lady still had something to say, Hao Ren quickly added it. One sentence: "These guys can understand Chinese!"

The old lady immediately straightened her face and walked away like a normal person. Hao Ren knew in his heart that within a few days, the news that there were a few more international friends in his family would have to spread to the five nearby districts and ten counties - the elderly ladies loved to spread the news, and Mrs. Li also had a lot of children. Descendants are scattered around the surrounding areas...

Although the bearded man didn't quite understand what Ukraine meant, he still stepped forward and asked, "Are we causing trouble for you?"

Hao Ren waved his hand: "It's okay, I'm used to it. It's good for you guys - when Wang Daquan first came to live here, it wasn't just the old lady who was alarmed. There were two old Red Army soldiers on the street who were almost ready to contact the police to set up a joint defense for residents... …”

The bearded man thought of Yzaks' appearance in human form, and actually nodded in agreement: "I understand, even if he leaves us alone, it's still considered a key surveillance."

Hao Ren twitched the corner of his mouth twice and looked at the rags and rags on the bearded men: "I'll tell you something you may not like to hear: Can these clothes be changed? The most important thing for you is that this robe is too eye-catching. If you go to the market It’s easy to send people to the rescue station.”

At first, he just said it casually, thinking that the Four Vajras would not agree. After all, they advocated "pension", and this old clothes must have something to say, but he didn't expect the bearded man to nod happily after hearing this. : "Okay, thanks in advance."

Hao Ren was greatly surprised: "Aren't you following the path of ascetic cultivation? Doesn't changing new clothes conflict with ascetic cultivation?"

The bearded man was very confused: "How can changing into new clothes affect the ascetic practice? A luxurious house can nourish the body, food can satisfy the appetite, and beauty can soften the will. What is the use of good clothes? Isn't it just a layer of fabric, no matter how comfortable it is? Where can it be affected?"

Hao Ren felt something was wrong with this as soon as he heard it. He instinctively felt that good clothes can be considered a luxury. But after carefully thinking about Big Beard's words, he found that he was speechless: Yes, no matter how luxurious the clothes are, they can only be Let others look good. For these ascetics, the eyes of the world happen to be the most useless thing. All luxury and enjoyment based on the perspective of bystanders do not exist for them!

Hao Ren suddenly had a deeper understanding of the true spirit of asceticism of the Four Vajras, but he was still a little curious: "In this case, why don't you change into better clothes?"

The bearded man looked down at his body and shrugged: "Because I have no money, the only clothes distributed by the church are this kind of clothes."

Hao Ren: "..." He has never seen anyone more honest than these ascetics in his life!

At that moment, he took the Four King Kongs to a nearby clothing store, just in time for the year-end sales, and changed them into clothes suitable for the local environment and current solar terms at a very cheap price.

People rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles. After putting on new clothes, the four kings immediately looked energetic. The bearded man wore a Tang suit-style cotton coat, and with that European face, he looked like he was ready to invest when he walked on the street. Like international friends, the other three are also more impressive than the last. Perhaps years of self-cultivation have given them a certain calm and elegant demeanor that ordinary people do not possess. Hao Ren was even surprised to find that the young nun was a pretty sister - she usually had half of her face covered with a hood all day without even noticing it!

The group of people bought a lot of things for the New Year, and then walked back to their homes. This time, no one came up to ask Hao Ren if he had just returned from poverty alleviation in Ukraine. When he arrived at the door of his big house, Hao Ren found Lily and Vivian standing in front of the door carrying large and small packages. The latter was taking out the keys from his bag and preparing to open the door. He greeted from a distance: "Lily! Vivian!" Wei An! Are you here to buy something?"

Lily turned around and saw Hao Ren, and immediately happily put the things on the ground and jumped over: "Landlady, Landlady! Bat and I bought a lot of things for the New Year!"

Hao Ren frowned as he walked forward with Lily: "Well... I just came back from shopping for New Year's goods."

"Have you repeated the purchase?" Vivian, a good wife and mother-type vampire, suddenly twitched the corner of her mouth in pain, "You spent a lot of money..."

Hao Ren quickly comforted Vivian: "It's okay, it's okay. It's the Chinese New Year. There will be a lot of people this year, let's celebrate! By the way, I have the year-end benefits I received from Raven 12345..."

As he spoke, Hao Ren opened the door and entered the house. He poured out all kinds of New Year's goods from his pocket or from the large and small packages that Lily was carrying. They filled the table and the floor. Finally, he solemnly took out a small box:

"Come and take a look. Come and take a look. Hercules almost died here... I brought a box back..."
