Chapter 66 Crisis
Lu Fei didn't understand where the deep hatred between him and Lu Xun came from. Was it because Lu Xun failed the trial while he passed?
But Lu Xun has a large number of people and is very powerful.
The blade almost pierced his body several times, but fortunately Lu Fei reacted very quickly and prevented it from piercing his heart.
His entire body was soaked in blood, and he looked like he would soon die from excessive blood loss. Jane Anning couldn't help but feel pity for him, and she whispered, "A Fei!"
But Lu Xun laughed maliciously. He walked towards the bruised Lu Fei, stepped on his head, and said in a sharp and somewhat complacent tone, "I just want to take away your pet, your woman, and everything you have."
The raging jealousy that had almost burned Lu Xun completely had now turned into a bonfire of joy, as he saw the object of his jealousy lying in front of him like a dead dog.
"Just stay here and wait quietly for death."
Lu Xun laughed triumphantly, pulled Lu Fei's body up, threw her into a dark and deep alley, and then left with the crowd.
Lu Fei could only barely hear the sound of them gradually moving away, and everything in front of her was blurry and she couldn't see anything clearly.
There were still a lot of people on the long street, but no one noticed that in the dark and deep alley, there was a dying Lu Fei.
Normally, no one would notice.
However, after an unknown amount of time, at some point, Lu Fei, who was in a daze, suddenly heard footsteps coming straight towards him.
He mobilized almost all the remaining strength in his body, trying to make some sound.
However, he was injured so badly that this action caused him to completely lose consciousness.
So Lu Fei didn't know that the footsteps were walking straight towards him and stopping beside him.
If Lu Fei was still conscious, he would be able to see that the person was a woman, and that woman had a face exactly like Jian An Ning's.
On the other side, the crowd came to the other side of Luming City. There was a magnificent and tall building decorated with lights. As soon as they approached, they could smell the scent of incense powder floating in the air.
A heavily made-up woman stood at the door, eagerly greeting everyone who passed by.
Jian An Ning glanced over there and saw a plaque hanging in front of the brightly lit building with three big words written on it: Qunfang Building.
She was soon blindfolded, knocked unconscious, and sent to the alley next to the Qunfang Building, where there was another secret door leading to the interior of the Qunfang Building.
Lu Xun's original plan was to sell Jian An Ning to Qunfanglou and then take the fox to the temple.
But while he was distracted, the fox stuck to Jane An Ning, like a piece of taffy that couldn't be pulled away no matter how hard he tried.
Lu Xun didn't expect that the oracle that was about to be completed would encounter complications at this time.
He was so angry that he almost drew his sword and killed Fox and Jane Anning together.
Fortunately, someone stopped him and said, "Second Young Master, if I remember correctly, your oracle only said to 'catch' this fox."
Lu Xun nodded slightly, but his expression remained angry. He said, "But now this fox is clinging here and won't leave. How can I get it to the temple?"
"Doesn't the oracle simply say 'arrest'?" the man continued. "How can locking these two up together not count as arrest?"
As the man spoke, he directed the others to bring a golden iron cage and throw Jian Anning and the fox into it. He then said to Lu Xun, "Second Young Master, why don't you go to the temple in the Lu Mansion now to see if the oracle has been fulfilled."
Lu Xun was somewhat skeptical, but still holding on to a glimmer of hope that the gods could be fooled, he returned to the Lu Mansion.
When the rest of the people saw Lu Xun leaving, they also dispersed. Only the young man who had just spoken and the people from Qunfang Tower stayed here.
The young man had an ordinary face, to the point where he could not be found in a crowd. The leader of the Qunfang Building was a middle-aged woman, but she was dressed beautifully and did not show the signs of aging.
They smiled at each other, and then the woman said, "Carrying this cage to the center of the hall will also create a unique sight."
The young man reminded him, "We don't know if the Second Young Master's oracle has been completed yet, so don't do anything unnecessary."
"Of course, I just put the cage there, what could happen?"
The woman said this happily and asked someone to take the cage away. She also quietly stuffed something into the young man's hand, and then they parted ways.
Jane Anning and the fox were in a cage and were carried to the Qunfang Building.
The interior of the pavilion is quite magnificent and even more magnificent than it looks from the outside.
It seemed to be a building made of pure gold, with various ornaments carved intricately, and dotted with gems of various colors, some of which shone softly and brightly.
Jane Anning felt that the decoration looked familiar, and the atmosphere of this place was also particularly familiar.
Although there was a lot of noise in the Qunfang Tower and the sound of stringed instruments never stopped, she felt that this place was not much different from Wu Dong's territory.
This is also a temple, but it is less divine, so that even mortals can see it.
But it seems that the people of Dongchang have no idea that in addition to the temple displayed in the open in the center of Luming City, there are at least two other temples hidden in the dark.
In addition, the activities of these two temples are really hard to describe.
Jian Anning lifted the fox by the scruff of its neck, looked into its round eyes, and said, "What on earth does that fellow want to do?"
People were coming and going in the spacious hall, and the sticky smell of powder and all kinds of teasing sounds filled the entire space.
Some people also came to the golden cage and wanted to reach in and lift Jane An Ning's face.
Unfortunately, this golden cage was a magic weapon. Before the man could put his hand in, he was electrocuted and his skin was burned. So no one ever touched this bad luck again.
Jane An Ning stayed in the golden cage for who knows how many days, until even someone like her who lacked common sense realized that something was wrong.
The people in Qunfang Tower locked her and the fox in a cage here because Lu Xun couldn't confirm whether his oracle was complete.
But why did they just leave it alone after that? Could it be that Qunfanglou was facing other pressing issues right now?
Just as Jian An Ning was thinking, she heard a violent explosion coming from somewhere, shaking the entire magnificent building. The exquisitely carved decorations fell with the vibration. The people in the building didn't care about anything else and fled outside in disheveled clothes.
At this time, no one paid attention to Jane Anning and the fox in the golden cage.
She silently watched the fleeing crowd and the building that was about to collapse, and wondered: Which building is stronger, or is the golden cage better?
Just at this moment, a piece of gold nugget the size of an arm fell down and hit the golden cage by chance.
However, the golden cage was unable to withstand the impact of its own kind and was directly deflated.
Jian An Ning shook it twice, and the railings of the golden cage were removed by her.
Jane Anning: ...
What a coincidence.
Without saying a word, she took apart the cage with her bare hands, and finally walked out of the cage holding the fox.
At this time, the violent explosions had almost stopped, and gold nuggets and gems were scattered all over the floor of the magnificent hall.
But Jian Anning didn't look at these things directly. She just wanted to leave with the fox in her arms.
Soon, there was a flash of fire coming from outside. Someone shot a flaming arrow into the collapsed ruins of Qunfang Tower.
Jian An Ning thought: That person or those people probably came here with the determination to completely destroy this place.
As she thought about it, she looked back and didn't care even though the flames passed by her side.
She saw the entire Qunfang Tower burning in flames, as if the flames were the fire of karma that could burn away all sins.
However, this place is also a temple and cannot be easily destroyed by ordinary fire.
Jane Anning continued walking out while thinking.
"Wait, why is there someone in there?!"
After a while, she heard a startled female voice, and the voice sounded a little familiar.
A figure rushed in rapidly against the thick smoke, hugged her waist and almost carried her out.
Jane Anning:?
Thanks, I can walk by myself.
Jane Anning felt that she was in good condition, but the person who carried her out looked a little unwell. She seemed to be choked by the smoke and kept coughing.
She tilted her head and thought for a while, then imitated the way she had seen him do and gently patted the man's back.
"I'm fine, how are you?" The man quickly recovered and asked.
"I'm fine too."
Perhaps because Jian Anning's voice was so familiar, the man turned around suddenly and said in surprise, "Is it you?"
Jian Anning also looked at her and called out her name, "Chu Menghuai."
"It's me," Chu Menghuai was indeed very surprised, and then asked: "Why are you in a place like this? Where is Lu Fei?"
Jian An Ning thought for a while. After such a long time, considering Lu Fei's injuries at that time, it might be too late to collect his body.
She suddenly felt uncomfortable.
She hasn't thought about leaving the human world yet and wants to continue wandering around it, but if Lu Fei is not there, the human world will be much less interesting to her.
Chu Menghuai watched as Jian Anning's expression gradually turned for the worse, and he understood what was happening, so he stopped talking.
At this time, Jian Anning asked in return: "What about you? What are you doing here?"
"Of course, destroy this lousy place."
Chu Menghuai said this quite casually.
Jian An Ning showed a puzzled look, because it was impossible for a mortal to see that Qunfang Tower and Wu Dong's domain and temple belonged to the same category.
Chu Menghuai further explained: "In the beginning, it was the people from Qunfanglou who deceived Xiaoxuan."
Then she seemed a little angry and continued, "They have fooled countless people like this, but because there are monks behind them, no one cares."
Jian Anning looked at her slowly and said in a low voice, "Do you want to become a monk?"
"Of course I do," Chu Menghuai said with a hint of hope in his eyes, "but I also want everyone in this world to have the opportunity to become a cultivator. That way, those guys won't be able to use their own strength to do evil."
Jian Anning was silent for a while and then asked, "What if one day you become a monk?"
"Of course I practice hard," Chu Menghuai said as a matter of course, "If I were a cultivator, tragedies like mine would never happen where I am."
Jane Anning looked up at the pair of eyes full of hope. She seemed to be really longing for such a world.
However, since she was born, she has witnessed the changes of eras, and no era has ever given everyone equal opportunities to practice.
After all, if that were the case, people could change their fate on their own, so why would they worship gods?
