Chapter 90: Community God Crucian Carp Soup

Before Li Zhou took action, Situ Hui was full of disdain for the emperor.

Did she think this was a story about kings, princes and generals in a novel? Would he play some power game with her, with intrigues, tit-for-tat, swordplay, and back-and-forth?

Stop joking.

In the eyes of a practitioner like him, what is the difference between an emperor on earth and an ant on the ground?

What he wanted was to attain enlightenment and ascend to heaven. If the Lord of Heaven had not sent down a divine oracle asking him to steal the destiny of the Great Zhou, why would he even look at these mortals?

Long life and freedom in the sky are the only things he cares about in this world.

Unfortunately, in order to achieve this grand goal, Situ Hui, who is now just a mortal, has to hold his nose, put aside his pride, and give those ordinary people who know nothing and live like pigs and dogs a little sweetness to make them cooperate with him and seize the destiny of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The reason why the world can still barely maintain order and mortals still have a glimmer of hope to survive is because the Great Zhou Dynasty has not yet ended.

Situ Hui was busy for a long time and finally pushed the people's resentment to a peak. Next, he only needed to use Qingqiu's misfortune to suppress the destiny of the Great Zhou, and then with the help of the royal aura of the eldest daughter Gao Congxu, he could steal the destiny of the Great Zhou.

At that time, Tianzun will take it into his body, and when it is completely digested, he will become a part of the will of heaven and earth, that is, the way of heaven.

And he, Situ Hui, would become the agent of Heaven, and ascend to heaven in broad daylight without any problem.

By then, the gods and Buddhas in the sky would be nothing. The Moon God would draw the jug and pour wine for him, the Wenchang God would recite poems and compose essays for him, and if he wanted the sun to rise from the west, the sun would not dare to go to the east. How free and unrestrained he would be.

Situ Hui didn't expect that a little miracle doctor would appear out of nowhere and bring down dark clouds, which almost caused it to rain early and completely disrupted his plan.

Fortunately, he had already stolen the identity of the head of the Shan family and stopped her Bu Yu in time.

He stole the thoughts of many of her companions and learned that she was from the Duotian Sect.

What is the Duotian Sect? They are quite arrogant, but in his opinion, they are nothing special.

Does the Duotian Sect know what heaven is? Does it know what is in heaven? Does it know that the real heaven is here?

Just by talking to a few Heavenly Lords, you dare to say that you can seize the heaven?

Situ Hui, who believed that he was following the Supreme God, never imagined that his casual words mocking the young miracle doctor would actually come true.

In order to steal the country's destiny, he can be said to have tried his best and did everything he could.

Anyone who can accomplish one of these things can be proud of it and brag about it for the rest of their life.

Although Situ Hui disdained to become famous in the world, he was already certain in his heart that his name would go down in history, and people, monsters, demons, ghosts, and all living things would submit to him.

Therefore, when Li Zhou easily took back the national destiny he had stolen, he was completely shrouded in great confusion and bewilderment.

After all, this is the destiny of a great country.

It concerns the 800-year history of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the destiny of tens of millions of people.

Even he had to use all means to barely get the money.

How could someone pick it up as easily as if it had fallen on the ground, without even a trace of magical fluctuation, and just take it away?

Is this reasonable? Is this normal?

Who is this Tan, the miraculous doctor from the Duotian Sect?

When Situ Hui was puzzled, he did not notice that from the very beginning, he had never thought of stealing the thoughts of this miracle doctor.

Logically speaking, if he wanted to know who she was, the fastest way would be to steal her thoughts.

Not only did he not have any such thoughts, he did not even pray to the Lord as every believer would do when faced with an incomprehensible situation.

After all, his power comes from his god, and the god's ability to steal is naturally much stronger than that of his believer.

Without him even realizing it, his thoughts had been stolen.

Li Zhou didn't care about the confusion and shock on the "eldest princess's" face, nor did he care that the Northern Wilderness Water God who was crawling at his feet was trembling.

She looked at the sky which seemed to be about to bring a storm and shook her head in her heart.

Not enough, not enough.

Just calling the wind and rain is not enough to erase the impact of the sneeze just now. Damn it, is there any other way to consolidate her tall image?

She doesn't want to ruin her image.

Li Zhou pondered over it but didn't realize that due to her strong will, an invisible influence was spreading around like a plague.

The people, whether they had seen Li Zhou or not, all recognized her as the Miraculous Doctor Tan who had previously brought dark clouds to the city. The impression of Miraculous Doctor Tan's compassion and mercy in saving people from suffering suddenly appeared in everyone's mind.

The expressions on their faces changed from support for the "eldest princess" to admiration for the miracle doctor Tan.

"Great! It's Dr. Tan. We are saved!"

"Oh my god, no wonder it didn't rain just now, it turns out that Dr. Tan was fighting against the evil spirits."

"What is this monster wearing? What's the word for it... a monkey in a human costume, right?"

"That's the word. Even wearing a dragon robe, he still looks like a eunuch. Pah, he's so shameless and dares to act dumb in front of Dr. Tan!"

The fools in Situ Hui's eyes kept spitting at him. One after another, they stood up and stopped kneeling in front of him. Instead, they pointed at him.

He lowered his head in disbelief and was about to ask them how dare they do that, when he suddenly discovered that the face reflected in everyone's pupils was no longer Gao Congxu's face with handsome eyebrows and eyes, bright as the sun and the moon.

At some point, his ugly body, which was a mixture of too many people and had stolen too much power that did not belong to him, took off its disguise and was displayed nakedly in front of everyone.

The stolen identity of the eldest princess disappeared without any warning.

Situ Hui turned his head in astonishment and subconsciously looked at the emperor on the opposite side of the scroll. The emperor, whom he had never taken seriously and who was as insignificant as a mayfly to him, was now leaning against the throne with an undisguised look of mockery on his face.

Situ Hui was so angry that a large amount of blood spurted out of his mouth.

The emperor raised his eyebrows.

Situ Hui looked at the miracle doctor Tan tremblingly, feeling terrified and angry. For a moment, he didn't care about anything else. He grabbed a handful of misfortune and threw it at her.

He cursed her, and from then on she would be haunted by bad luck and would never be free from it for the rest of her life!

In the eyes of others, after Situ Hui's true identity was exposed, he became desperate and grabbed a large ball of filthy things and threw them at Doctor Tan.

Doctor Tan didn't even move, and before they could even react, a phantom of a Vermillion Bird flew out from behind him. It flapped its wings slightly, creating a gust of wind that blew the filthy thing back in its original form.

Situ Hui widened his eyes, rolled off the dragon chariot, arched his back and tried to escape, but a hand stretched out from the filthy things grabbed the corner of his dragon robe.

Then, he was pulled into the filth by that hand. He could only say half a sentence before he disappeared along with this doom: "Damn Zhongli——"

The common people did not understand what was happening, nor did they understand how fierce the battle was taking place at that moment. Only practitioners with great attainments like Gong Daopan and Lu Shenpo could see that filthy things were the essence of bad luck.

Even if the Lord of the Mansion came in person, he would probably be unlucky for a long time after encountering so many misfortunes.

But what about the miracle doctor? He didn't even need to make a move. With a flash of divine light, he bounced all the bad luck back to Situ Hui's face.

Gong Daopan and Lu Shenpo looked at each other with shock on their faces. Every time when they thought they understood how powerful Dr. Tan was, she would always refresh their cognition again.

Perhaps, this is just like the blind men touching an elephant. With their abilities, they will never be able to fully understand the miracle doctor in this lifetime.

Li Zhou didn't know what Situ Hui was doing with his dancing.

She was just taking back what he had stolen, and before she could even begin to judge him, he unleashed a whole host of powerful moves and successfully took himself away.

Li Zhou had seen many people with poor brains, but not one as good as this one. He shook his head in his mind, ignored him, and stretched out an arm, allowing the flaming Vermillion Bird to land on his arm.

She hadn't intended to deal with him now. After all, she knew what was important and the most important thing now was to maintain her image.

After the people of Fengzhou recognized her, a great deal of joy poured into her heart, and this Vermillion Bird was the spirit condensed from that joy.

This was the first time that Li Zhou felt such a surging emotion other than fear.

She is a good baby who knows how to return gifts. Since everyone is so happy to see her, she will also work harder next time.

She looked up at the dark clouds that were growing thicker and thicker, and recalled that the Fangshen Cult was going to use thousand-year-old corpses as firewood to pray to the community god for rain.

"Then light me up," she said to the sky, "and sacrifice me to the gods of the community, so that it may rain."

As her words fell, the flames on Suzaku instantly swept over her body. On the top of Qingshan Mountain, the highest point in the entire Fengzhou, a burning human-shaped torch stood under the dark clouds, attracting everyone's attention.

The people who had never seen Li Zhou cast a spell had no idea what would happen next. They only knew that Dr. Tan was willing to set his own body on fire for them.

A tide of sadness poured into Li Zhou's body, and cries echoed in every corner of Fengzhou.

The mother pierced her finger and fed her baby blood with sobs, her voice choking: "She is just a child."

The old farmer who was struggling to guard the cracked land had tears in his eyes: "Dr. Tan, we will always remember you."

In the meditation room of Ciyu Temple, Tanyin and Yuanzhen saw this scene through the veil of smoke and were deeply shocked by this heroic sacrifice.

Why are they still practicing Buddhism? At this moment, Tan the Miracle Doctor is the only true Buddha in the world.

In front of the scroll, the emperor opened his lips but said nothing. His face was illuminated by the fire from Li Zhou's body, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.

Pei Shanggong and Chi Yangzi were standing by, both shedding tears.

Only Gong Daopan, Lu Shenpo, Yu Miaoluo, Yin Chan and others who had seen the divine doctor Tan offer sacrifices fell into deep thought.

Is the community god also going to be worshipped by the miracle doctor?

The next moment, heavy rain fell impatiently, pouring down on everyone. For the first time, everyone felt that the rain was falling so badly.

In fact, it only took a few words from the time when the miracle doctor said "It's time to rain" to the time when the rain actually fell.

Thinking back to the last time when Doctor Tan offered sacrifices to everyone, he suddenly began to doubt whether the community god had been rushing to bring rain, but in the end was still a step slower than Doctor Tan, and had to watch her offer sacrifices to him, unable to stop her.

After a long drought, it finally rained. People tilted their heads back, opened their mouths, and swallowed the rain water in big gulps. They took off their coats, took out their buckets, and tried to scoop up more rain using all kinds of methods.

Seeing Dr. Tan still burning, they sobbed and wanted to help put out the flames on her body, but they didn't realize that even such a heavy rain couldn't put out the fire.

Li Zhou, the female doctor in the flames, smelled the strong aroma of fish soup, which seemed to have tofu and spinach added to it. It smelled very refreshing and could relieve fire.

She was about to smell the fragrance again to see where it came from when a golden light fell from the sky and hit her.

People were looking at this scene in amazement. Suddenly, someone had a flash of inspiration and said, "It's the ladder to heaven! Dr. Tan has achieved enlightenment and ascended to heaven, and is now among the immortals!"

"Congratulations to the Divine Doctor on becoming an immortal!"

"The Godly Doctor will enjoy eternal bliss and a lifespan as long as the heavens!"

Amid the heartfelt cheers of the people, the female doctor Li Zhou flew into the thick clouds following the increasingly rich aroma of fish soup in the golden light.

Tanyin and Yuanzhen, two Buddhists, could not help but mutter to themselves: "Sure enough, if one's merits are complete, one can shed his mortal body..."

The emperor's expression finally changed. He moved closer to the scroll in doubt and confusion, wanting to see where the great doctor Tan had ascended to.

Chi Yangzi frowned. As far as he knew, a great monk once left a warning that there was no such thing as ascension in the world and one should not dream of becoming an immortal.

What's this about talking about miracle doctors?

Gong Daopan, Lu Shenpo, Yu Miaoluo, Yin Chan and others felt that this development was too normal and totally inconsistent with their own predictions about the miracle doctor.

Yin Chan and the green-feathered parrot looked at each other and couldn't help but say, "This shouldn't be the case..."

The miracle doctor didn't even take down the community god. Is that a great kindness on his part?

Not seeing the open-minded Tan Miracle Doctor, she suddenly became afraid and suspected that this was another conspiracy of the gods.

No one knew that in front of Li Zhou in the clouds, a table of hot crucian carp feast was already set, accompanied by refreshing side dishes such as yam, bamboo shoots, winter melon, and a pot of sweet wine with a rich aroma.

There was also a note left on the table:

[The little god and the square god prepared some light wine to entertain the great god. ]

Hey, is this a banquet hosted by the community gods and local gods?

Why do you just put down the food and run away without even eating a bite?

Li Zhou got up and looked for him, but he didn't know that the community god who ran away after making it rain was in the community god temple, looking at the statue with a missing part of its body with tears in his eyes.

It has already started to rain, but He still insists on "offering" something. Doesn't He know what this means?

It’s better to do it yourself, at least you still have some knowledge.
