Chapter 72 Murder (Part 1)
Jian An Ning now knew where the pharmacy was and what a doctor was, so she went to the pharmacy and bought the medicine that Lu Yu needed.
When I came back, I met Lu Fei standing at the door, like a door god, with an expression of wanting to say something but hesitant.
"I remember," Jian Anning said after thinking for a while, "Didn't you say before that you had something to tell me?"
As she spoke, she skillfully placed the medicine she had bought in the right place so that it could be boiled later. Then she turned around and asked beside the stove where the medicine was boiling, "So what do you want to say?"
Even though he had made up his mind, Lu Fei still found it difficult to say these words for some reason.
He held his breath and said first, "I went to the temple and asked the oracle to make grandma healed."
Jian Anning raised her eyebrows. Judging from the oracles Lu Fei had received, it was hard to imagine that the gods in the temple would have any good intentions towards Lu Fei.
"The oracle said that grandma's illness can be cured by celebrating a happy occasion," Lu Fei gritted her teeth and said, "So could you please help me?"
However, he was really afraid that Jian An Ning would refuse, so he said, "This is just a pretense. I just want grandma to get better. It's not real."
Jian Anning blinked and said, "Of course there is no problem."
When Lu Fei was delighted, she added, "But what is a wedding?"
Lu Fei paused, then explained, "It's just that happy events like the marriage of a man and a woman who love each other can make people happy and wash away illnesses."
Jian An Ning nodded, feeling puzzled, and then said to Lu Fei, "So we are in love with each other?"
Lu Fei didn't know how to answer this question. He could show himself to Jian An Ning, but he didn't know what Jian An Ning was thinking because she seemed to know nothing and understand nothing.
What if, even just in case, Jane Anning doesn't actually like him?
Lu Fei felt deeply that he was extremely resistant to this possibility.
So, he took a detour and said, "It would be nice to have the happy event of getting married. After all, it is a good omen."
Jian Anning was still a little confused, but she saw Lu Fei handing her a white jade bracelet and whispered, "This is something you need to wear for your wedding."
Jian Anning thought about it, then took it in her hand and asked again, "What else do we need to get married?"
"I'll prepare the rest," Lu Fei took her a little further away and said, "Just go and rest."
Jian An Ning looked at the stove where the medicine was being boiled, then looked at the jade bracelet on her wrist, and then followed Lu Fei's instructions and returned to the hut to rest.
After all this trouble, the moon was already at its highest point in the sky.
However, the moonlight was bright and soft, and even though there was no light in the courtyard, one could still see the way clearly.
Jane Anning gently pushed open the door of the hut.
Lu Yu was lying on the bed, not yet asleep. She was muttering to herself, as if praying, but the content of her prayer was not about herself, but about hoping that Lu Fei would be safe.
"Xiao Fei has encountered many tribulations since becoming a cultivator. Everything should go smoothly for him in the future."
Jian Anning stood there silently for a long time before she said softly, "That's probably unlikely."
Lu Yu suddenly opened her eyes, and even her breathing became rapid. She seemed to have seen something unacceptable, and her whole body became hideous and painful.
Jian Anning quickly stepped forward to regulate her breathing, while Lu Yu grabbed her hand and asked almost hoarsely, "Who are you? Why do I feel like Xiao Fei's misfortune is related to you?"
In an instant, Lu Yu seemed to have a sudden inspiration. She suddenly realized that perhaps the disaster that Lu Fei and even the entire Dongchang suffered was caused by Jian An Ning.
"Can you please stay away from Xiao Fei? I don't care about anything else. I just want Xiao Fei to be safe."
Jane Anning remained silent, but continued to help her regulate her breathing. She had some sense of the future, but could not see the whole picture.
However, Lu Yu glanced at Jian An Ning's wrist, on which she was wearing the white jade bracelet that she had given to Lu Fei not long ago.
She felt her blood boiling in her heart, and she almost cried as she said, "Please, let him go. He shouldn't have lived that kind of life."
Jian An Ning lowered her eyes slightly, and finally spoke softly, "When people are on the verge of despair and death, they will receive mercy from God, so what you see is Lu Fei's destined future."
Lu Yu couldn't catch his breath and died with his eyes open.
Jane Anning still didn't quite understand the rules of the human world, but she had seen what people did to corpses like this, so she also learned to cover her grandmother's eyes with her palms to close them.
"May you get what you want in your next life."
She thought that Lu Fei originally wanted his grandmother to get better, so he said it was a wedding to bring good luck, but now, he just sent the person away.
She knew that Lu Fei would be sad, but she didn't know what to do, so she stood there at a loss until the door was pushed open by Lu Fei.
"Why don't you open the door?"
Lu Fei walked in with the freshly prepared medicine, wanting to help Lu Yu up and feed him the medicine, but as soon as he touched Lu Yu's body, he felt something strange.
So he reached out and felt Lu Yu's breath.
No breathing.
Lu Fei's hands trembled slightly because of this, and his whole world seemed to be collapsing because of this. His body was shaking constantly, and the overwhelming sadness directly blocked his throat, so that he could only make choking sounds but could not cry loudly.
Jian Anning stepped forward and gently patted his shoulder, trying to comfort him: "The body is perishable, but the soul is immortal. It's just that her body has died, and her soul will be reincarnated in the cycle of reincarnation."
"Really?" Tears welled up in Lu Fei's eyes, blurring his vision, but he could still see where Jian An Ning was and said stubbornly, "So, grandma will have an afterlife, and will be safe and happy?"
Jian An Ning closed her eyes. In her perception which had not yet been completely sealed by this body, she saw that the Jiang family, who had guarded the Jiutian Xirang in Zhongzhou for generations, welcomed a newborn baby girl.
The Jiang family was overjoyed. The head of the Jiang family gave the newborn girl a name and wrote it on the leaves of the hibiscus tree owned by the Jiang family.
She saw the name written on the hibiscus leaves. The baby girl's name was Jiang Tan.
And because the name was written on the leaves of the hibiscus tree, over the years and countless reincarnations, Jiang Tan will always be a member of the Jiang family and will write the cause and effect of the Jiang family.
“I don’t know if there will always be peace and happiness,” she said softly, “but I know her story will probably have a happy ending.”
"That's good."
Lu Fei smiled gently, and the tears in his eyes finally flowed uncontrollably. He hugged Jian An Ning in his arms.
"Grandma was my only relative. Now I have no one to turn to in this world."
Jian Anning really didn't know how to comfort him, so she could only pat his shoulder gently and said softly, "At least I'm still here, right?"
Hearing this, Lu Fei hugged Jian An Ning a little tighter and said, "You won't leave me suddenly, will you?"
"You are the only one left in my world."
Jane An Ning didn't say anything, but just thought to herself, this is hard to say, the bad premonition in her heart is getting stronger and stronger.
Luming City, Lu Mansion.
The magnificent Lu Mansion is splendid, with carved beams and painted buildings, and every detail is exquisite.
There are countless aristocratic families of all sizes in Dongchang, but the Lu family is still the leader among them. What distinguishes the Lu family from other aristocratic families is a building in the Lu Mansion that is no different from a temple.
In the entire Dongchang, only the Lu family has a temple that belongs exclusively to the Lu family.
In the temple, Lu Xun knelt in front of the statue. He didn't know how long he had been kneeling, but the statue still didn't respond. However, Lu Xun was still unwilling to give up.
The earlier wave of people from the main branch of the Lu family who went to participate in the trial were all candidates for the next head of the Lu family. Among so many people, he was the only one who survived. All his brothers and sisters, whom he regarded as his biggest enemies, died in the trial. Isn't this a blessing from God?
Even though he failed to pass the trial, it just happened that the Lu family had other methods that allowed him to become a cultivator and communicate with the gods. Isn't this the blessing of the gods?
Therefore, the gods must favor him, and he must receive the grace bestowed by the gods.
Lu Xun encouraged himself in his heart.
In the small and dark temple, there was no sound except his own breathing, and he just knelt quietly.
Until, a golden ball of light suddenly flashed on the altar, illuminating the entire temple. Lu Xun hurried forward, looking very excited.
The golden light dissipated, revealing a piece of paper. The oracle on the paper was more unbelievable than any oracle Lu Xun had ever seen before.
However, this is God's oracle and God's test, and he only needs to complete the oracle and pass the test.
Lu Xun thought about this, stood up, subconsciously touched the long sword at his waist, and directly pushed open the temple door that had not been opened for a long time.
A man who was a complete stranger to him was standing at the door.
The man looked very bad, and he even seemed to be talking directly to the statue in the temple, bypassing him.
"I can do it this time, but you must keep your word and release my people."
But in the deserted temple, his words echoed as if a voice from the unknown.
"I swear to heaven."
"Is that the voice of God?" Lu Xun showed a look of shock on his face.
Even the Lu family, a noble family with a temple in its mansion, has never seen the true appearance of the gods. Lu Xun once heard that the gods are among humans, but no one has ever had the chance to see them.
This gave him a little more respect for the stranger.
The man looked like he didn't want to pay attention to him, but was forced to do so by the situation.
"Go call your people. Do you want to complete this task with just the two of us?"
"But, I am more than enough alone, let alone you?" Lu Xun asked in confusion.
The man laughed and said, "Do you know how many times the god you believe in has tried to kill him, intentionally or unintentionally?"
“But none of them succeeded.”
