Chapter 70 God (Catching Bugs)
At the end of the long street, the small thatched cottage that few people visited was now surrounded by people in three layers.
The leader had a fierce look in his eyes and spoke in high-sounding words.
However, Lu Fei was not afraid. He met that gaze calmly and said, "I have found another way to dispel the natural disaster. You can go and see if the natural disaster has been dispelled."
"If not, I would be honored if my life could help dispel the natural disaster for Luming City and even the entire Dongchang."
Lu Fei was so calm that for a moment, the leading cultivator even thought that what Lu Fei said was true.
However, the disaster that occurs without warning every ten years has lasted for who knows how long. How could this kid really find other solutions?
"But what about you injuring my grandmother?" Lu Fei said sternly.
The leader's eyes rolled as he took out a bottle of excellent wound medicine and handed it to Lu Fei, saying, "If what you said is true, we are not cruel people. We would not want to kill you without reason. We only hurt your grandmother because we were forced to do so. This is a bottle of excellent wound medicine. Most wounds can be healed as long as you take it."
Lu Fei took the medicine doubtfully and put it directly into Lu Yu's mouth.
Lu Yu did look a little better, but the mess he was in would not be healed by the medicine.
So Lu Fei picked up her grandmother and wanted to clean her wounds and tidy up her clothes.
However, the people three layers deep and three layers deep there had no intention of leaving. They were still staring at Lu Fei, as if he was not going to clean Lu Yu's wound but to escape.
"What do you mean?" Lu Fei asked coldly.
The leader laughed and said, "I've sent someone to verify it, but until the results come out, please stay within our sight."
Lu Fei was furious. He really wanted to draw out his sword and kill all the people who were blocking his way.
But he was holding his grandmother and couldn't pull his hands away.
He didn't want his grandmother to die. His parents died when he was young, and it was his grandmother who raised him. He spent most of his life relying on his grandmother.
The desire to save his grandmother overwhelmed his desire to teach these people a lesson. In a flash, he suddenly thought of something and called out, "Aning, can you help me?"
Jian An Ning had been watching from the side, so she could naturally hear what Lu Fei wanted her help with.
She nodded silently.
She tried to take Lu Xi's body from Lu Fei's hands, but she was too weak to bear the weight of a person and almost dropped Lu Xi to the ground.
Fortunately, Su Jiang decisively transformed into a human form and held on for a while, thus avoiding the tragedy.
Lu Fei watched Jian An Ning leave, then sat down on the ground, waiting for the person who went to verify to come back.
The man came back crawling and tumbling, demonstrating his joy to the extreme. He shouted excitedly, "It's all right, it's all right. The disaster is over."
Suddenly, everyone showed an expression of joy. Those who did not understand the reason were just happy that the disaster had been resolved. The leader stepped forward and asked, "What is another way to dispel the natural disaster?"
"I am a monk who has lived for over a hundred years. Almost every natural disaster ended with sacrifice. How did you know there are other ways to dispel natural disasters?"
But there was no joy on Lu Fei's face. He thought that if Aning's words were true, it meant that the natural disaster was brought by the gods they believed in.
So what did this god do in Dongchang?
There were no natural disasters, but they created them and made people sacrifice humans.
The blood of God that can turn mortals into monks, if not taken on time just once, will cause the person to feel the pain of rotting bones and gnawing hearts, and eventually die.
Is this what you call a god?
"Lu Fei?" The monk saw that he looked a little dazed, so he called him a few times.
Lu Fei came back to his senses after hearing this and turned to the monk and said, "I'm thinking about the gods."
He briefly repeated what Jian Anning had said, and then added, trying to hide the truth, "I saw this in an ancient book."
The monk fell into deep thought and talked about something he had heard.
"I've heard that the gods worshipped in Dongchang have always been in Dongchang, hidden in the market, so we must always be respectful at all times, otherwise we will anger the gods and bring down natural disasters."
Lu Fei didn't know how to describe his feelings. He only felt the flames of anger and resentment burning in his heart.
"So, the gods are right here among us, just watching people suffer? What kind of bullshit gods are they!"
The monk looked panicked, covered Lu Fei's mouth with his hand, and said, "Keep your voice down."
He looked around carefully. The people who had been gathering around Lu Fei's house had dispersed, and the end of the long street had returned to its deserted state.
The monk finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Lu Fei, you've already said it yourself. The gods are right beside us. How dare you speak nonsense like that? Be careful of divine punishment."
Lu Fei stopped talking, but her expression didn't improve. She said, "Thank you for your reminder."
"Come to think of it, I still don't know your name?"
The monk bowed to him and said, "My name is Zhao Tan."
After saying that, the last monk also left. Lu Fei stood on the deserted street for a while, and suddenly thought of his grandmother's injury. He broke free from his drowsy state and returned to the hut to visit Lu Xi.
In the thatched hut, Lu Yu was lying on the bed, with Jian An Ning, Jia Lan and Su Jiang standing neatly beside the bed.
Jia Lan looked unhappy, as if she had had an argument with Jian An Ning before.
"Your grandmother is fine," Jian Anning said carefully, "The medicine has healed most of her injuries. The rest are just superficial."
"Just take good care of it." Jane An Ning added.
Lu Fei felt her heart finally settle down, but before she could rejoice, she saw Jia Lan folding her arms, a hint of sarcasm on the corner of her lips, and she said coldly, "You should take good care of it. After all, it won't live long anyway."
"Jia Lan!" Jian An Ning scolded in a low voice.
Lu Fei felt dizzy and as if struck by lightning. His body began to tremble. He asked again, "Is this true?"
"Fake, fake!" Jian An Ning stood in front of Jia Lan, blocking Lu Fei's gaze from looking at Jia Lan and said again: "My sister is unreliable. If you don't believe me, go get a doctor."
Lu Fei finally came to his senses and thought to himself: It's time to go see a doctor.
Then he ran out in a flash.
Jian An Ning finally breathed a sigh of relief, then turned to face Jia Lan and said, "The fate hidden in the dark cannot be revealed."
"But she doesn't have many days left to live. Wouldn't it be better to tell him earlier so that he can be mentally prepared?" Jia Lan said, and suddenly moved very close, staring into Jian An Ning's eyes, and said, "Sister, do you want to save someone who must die?"
"How is that possible?" Jian Anning retorted, "The cycle of life and death has its own order. One of our missions is to maintain this order."
Jia Lan turned away and said, "It's just the soul going to reincarnate. I don't know why humans take it so seriously."
"But people exist in this world because of the bonds between each other. Death is the knife that severs those bonds, and everything starts over again," Jane Anning pondered. "So for them, death means eternal separation."
Upon hearing this, Jia Lan looked at Jian An Ning with a strange look and said, "Sister, when did you become so knowledgeable about humans?"
"Just recently?" Jian An Ning said after thinking for a while.
However, Jia Lan stared into Jian An Ning's eyes with a bit of aggressiveness and said, "Sister, you don't like that human, do you?"
"Huh?"
Jian Anning blinked and asked sincerely, "What is liking?"
"Well..."
Jia Lan was also stunned by the question. She just often saw such statements in the human world.
She tried to recall the actions of those people when they said such words, and then said, "You just don't want to be separated, and hope to be together forever?"
"Probably like me and my sister?" Jia Lan said hesitantly.
Their discussion was interrupted by Lu Yu's cough. Jian An Ning hurriedly got some water and asked Lu Yu to take it.
Coincidentally, Lu Fei also came back with a doctor.
The white-haired doctor took Lu Yu's pulse and then, revealing a rather uneasy look, said to Lu Fei, "Your grandmother's injury isn't serious, but she's already old and frail, and she's been overworked in the past, so her vitality has been severely damaged."
"Then is there any way to remedy it? Will it endanger grandma's life?" Lu Fei asked anxiously.
"I'll prescribe a prescription. Let your grandmother take a few doses first. It should provide some relief. If you experience any other discomfort, please come back to me."
Lu Fei agreed and hurried to the pharmacy to get the medicine.
For many years, he and his grandmother depended on each other for survival. For a long time, his grandmother was like heaven to him.
So Lu Fei tried his best to protect the sky which was already in danger.
Jane Anning decided to help him, but Jialan was really unwilling to continue to entangle with humans and wanted to take Jane Anning away directly.
Jia Lan quietly pulled Jian An Ning out of the hut, found a deserted corner, and said, "Okay, okay, even if you don't want to leave that human, but the guy who made you like this is still looking for you, right?"
"If you don't come with me, what will you do if they find you?"
Jian Anning had indeed thought about this question. Her eyes fell on Jia Lan and she said, "This is something you need to do. Think about it, this fake hibiscus fruit even blocks the innate connection between you and me. So, it wouldn't be that easy for someone who is plotting against me to find me."
"So, I'm in the dark, and the enemy is in the light. But I don't have any fighting ability right now, so I need you to clean them out."
"It's something only you can do."
When would Jia Lan have the heart to not carry out her sister's request? The answer is no such time.
So she looked in the direction of the thatched cottage and almost gnashed her teeth, but still said to Jian An Ning: "Since it is my sister who asked me to do it, then I will definitely do it, but my sister has to promise me too."
"What?"
"Don't like that human. Come back as soon as possible."
