Chapter 73 Murder (Part 2)
Lu Xun was actually a little confused. After all, if a god wanted to kill someone, it would be a matter of moving his fingers. However, that person gave him a completely different answer.
"Everything in the world is subject to the laws of nature. He was just lucky, so he became the god you worship today."
Lu Xun couldn't fully understand these words, he could only vaguely feel that he seemed to have touched upon some deeply hidden secret.
He said no more, but instead gathered all the cultivators he could find, whether they were from the Lu family or not, and marched together in a certain direction.
The strange man was mixed in the crowd. Although his appearance was so conspicuous, he was like a drop of water melting in the ocean, and his presence could not be found.
Lu Xun realized that this person might really have some magical powers, so he stopped looking for him and followed the crowd to the small courtyard at the end of the long street.
A raging fire was burning in the courtyard, and Lu Fei stared at the flames silently.
According to his previous understanding, people should be buried after death, but Jane Anning told him that her grandmother's soul had already been reincarnated, and if her body remained in the world, many unnecessary causes and effects would arise.
So he followed Jian An Ning's advice and put Lu Yu's body into the flames.
There was a jar of wine next to the fire, and Lu Fei was holding a bamboo flute in his hand, playing a song to send off the soul.
Lu Fei knew that he did have a talent for playing some musical instruments. He could repeat any piece of music after hearing it once, and the piece he was best at was the Soul Sending Song. When people holding a funeral asked someone to play funeral music, quite a few people would think of him.
He had attended the funerals of so many of his neighbors and friends in the past, and now it was finally his turn.
After the song ended, Lu Fei silently stared at the blazing flames, which made crackling sounds. After a long time, he picked up the jar of wine, poured half of it on the ground, then picked up the jar and drank it directly.
"A Fei, what are you doing?" Jian An Ning was puzzled by Lu Fei's actions.
"Wine can help you forget your worries," Lu Fei said after taking a gulp of wine, "it can also help you relieve your worries."
Jian Anning nodded, seeming to understand, and tried to take the wine jar from Lu Fei's hand, saying, "Then I'll have some too?"
"Oh, this won't do," Lu Fei refused repeatedly, but looking into Jian Anning's eyes, he finally lowered his head somewhat dejectedly. He said, "I only drank it because I was sad. It's not a good thing. If you're not sad, it's better not to touch it."
Jian Anning tilted her head, not quite understanding.
While Lu Fei was talking to Jian An Ning, the crowd coming from the Lu Mansion had unknowingly surrounded the courtyard in three layers.
"Why do I hear there seem to be a lot of people outside?"
When their movement was finally loud enough that even the extremely sad Lu Fei noticed it, three "whoosh" sounds were heard, and a long arrow broke through the air and headed straight for Lu Fei's vital point.
Lu Fei dodged and shouted into the void: "Who is it?"
Lu Fei was extremely puzzled. What kind of enemy had he provoked that would make someone run to his house and kill him at this time?
Lu Xun's figure appeared, and Lu Fei's eyes widened in surprise. She said, "You and I are both members of the Lu family, and we have no past or present grudges. Why do you come up to me with murderous intent?"
Lu Fei thought to himself: This guy is really clueless. It's obvious that he has already hindered him several times. Last time, when he went to rob the fox, he thought he had beaten this guy to death. Unexpectedly, he was lucky enough to still be alive.
But these words cannot be said openly.
Lu Xun sneered and said, "You must have offended the gods at some point. The oracle I received is to kill you."
"ha?"
Lu Fei really couldn't believe it. Although he sometimes doubted the meaning of the oracle given by the god, he had never thought that the god would want to kill his believers.
This was so counterintuitive and counterintuitive that Lu Fei just wanted to treat it as Lu Xun's nonsense.
However, Lu Xun's actions were as if he was risking his life, leaving the door wide open, and he was determined to kill Lu Fei.
The people surrounding him never stopped shooting arrows at him, blocking his escape route, and finding the right moment to give him a fatal blow.
However, it is not known whether Lu Fei is protected by other gods. He can always sense danger when his life is hanging by a thread and narrowly avoid attacks.
However, Lu Fei's physical strength was limited, and he soon found himself in a dilemma.
"Aning, run quickly. They should only be targeting me." Lu Fei said to Jian Anning while resisting the attack.
Jian An Ning was so anxious that she was about to fume, but this weak human body really hindered her performance. She could only watch Lu Fei fall into danger and she was powerless to do anything.
Until Lu Fei was forced into a corner and had nowhere to hide.
And suddenly, a figure that Lu Fei was very familiar with jumped out from the crowd.
He was a man with an extremely handsome appearance. His expression was not fierce, and he even looked a little guilty. He held a knife in his hand and went straight towards Lu Fei's heart unexpectedly.
"I'm sorry." Su Jiang said.
Lu Fei had nowhere to hide and was almost ready to die.
However, the expected pain did not come, and someone stood directly in front of him.
That was Jane Anning's body.
Lu Fei and Su Jiang both widened their eyes.
Lu Fei almost ignored the dangers and just held Jian An Ning in her arms, calling out repeatedly, "An Ning?"
This time, Jian Anning was unable to respond to him. She only had time to say, "I'm glad you're okay."
The next moment, his neck tilted and he died.
"Aning!"
Lu Fei was completely unable to bear this pain. Yesterday he lost his relatives who depended on him for survival, and today he lost the lover with whom he decided to spend his life. It was as if fate was playing a huge joke on him, making this moment of his life a collection of human tragedies.
"I-I didn't mean to kill her!"
However, Su Jiang felt as if he had seen a ghost. Although he could not clearly say what Jian An Ning's true form was, he undoubtedly felt that there was a soul with unimaginable power trapped in a human body.
Almost at the moment when Jian An Ning died, he felt the force directly breaking through the resistance of his body.
The huge aura directly blew away all those who wanted to take advantage of the situation to kill Lu Fei.
It was as if an invisible sickle formed in the void, and just like harvesting wheat, it directly harvested the lives of all those who attacked Lu Fei.
Su Jiang was still standing there in a daze, but he had escaped danger.
However, Lu Fei, immersed in sorrow, paid no attention to the people who attacked him. He just called Jian Anning's name over and over again, but it was of no use.
He wondered what he had done wrong to have things develop to this point, and how sinful was he to have ended up in such a situation?
He felt that he had almost lost his voice, and could only hold Jane Anning's still warm body, suffering silently.
"Don't kill me, don't kill me!" Su Jiang knelt on the spot and prayed to the invisible existence.
However, that existence seemed to have gone far away, but Lu Fei, who was right in front of him, heard his voice begging for mercy.
Lu Fei was completely unable to contain his inner anger. The fire in the courtyard that had not yet burned out seemed to burn fiercely again because of his anger.
He raised his sword and was about to kill Su Jiang to avenge Jian An Ning's life.
But Su Jiang felt that the danger came from Lu Fei rather than the invisible existence, so he kowtowed to Lu Fei and said, "I'm pregnant with her child."
"You're joking with me at a time like this?" Lu Fei's face was filled with grief. "This is not funny at all."
"No, it's true. Don't you all know that I was born from an egg?" Su Jiang quickly explained, "And you should have felt that Jian Anning is not an ordinary person."
Lu Fei paused. Considering the details of his interactions with Aning, there was indeed something unusual about Aning.
"As a demon, I'm more aware of this. Most of my people are on the verge of extinction in the human world. I wanted to borrow her power to continue my offspring, so I ate a strand of her hair."
Lu Fei felt that his worldview was about to collapse completely, and Su Jiang's words were the straw that broke the camel's back for his shaky worldview.
He could hardly hold his sword, and Jane Anning's words automatically came to his mind.
"If the soul has already left, then the body must be burned, otherwise it will add a lot of unnecessary cause and effect."
He finally stopped paying attention to Su Jiang, picked up Jian An Ning, and threw the body into the raging fire.
Lu Fei picked up the bamboo flute that he had just put down and played the soul-sending song again.
The other side.
Wu Xi, who was leaning against the statue in the temple and about to fall asleep, and Wu Dong, who was smiling and trying to trick visitors in the magnificent casino, stopped almost at the same time and widened their eyes in astonishment.
At the same time, they felt the power that was almost never revealed to the world flashing in Dongchang.
Wu Dong immediately gave up the fat meat that was about to be in his hands. He appeared in the temple in a flash and said to Wu Xi, "What just happened to Dongchang?"
Wu Xi closed his eyes and cast a spell, watching the scene in Lu Fei's courtyard clearly. Then he said with a grim expression: "It's not that he's here, it seems that he has always been here."
"How is that possible? If she can walk around freely in the world, what do we have to do with her?" Wu Dong couldn't believe it.
Wu Xi shook his head, recalling Jian Anning's condition when he saw her, and said, "She shouldn't be able to walk freely. She must be under very strict restrictions."
Wu Dong finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I told you it wouldn't be that easy. Otherwise, if they get upset, they'll cause another natural disaster like the previous one. Not only us, but all living creatures in this world will be doomed."
"But her condition is very strange. I have seen her, and she looks and gives me the feeling of an ordinary person." Wu Xi was also puzzled.
However, a gust of wind soon blew open the temple door, and a man with an ordinary face swaggered in and said, "That's because she ate the 'Hibiscus fruit'."
Wu Xi had originally had a bad look on his face, but upon hearing the visitor's words, his mind shifted several notches. He then said, "As far as I know, the sacred Fusang tree does not bear fruit. May I ask what you are?"
The man bowed to him and introduced himself, "My name is Wei Shengliang."
He then explained, "The sacred Fusang tree does not bear fruit. The fruit is simply the result of the resentment condensed from us ghosts of the last era. Its effect is to imprison her in a human body."
"If you want to free her, you must kill her shell."
Wu Xi and Wu Dong looked at each other and suddenly realized what it would mean if Jane An Ning was trapped in her body forever.
"If she is kept in captivity, then we can do many things openly without worrying about divine punishment?"
"Of course," Wei Shengliang said to Wu Xi and Wu Dong, looking disappointed. "So why did you kill her? You didn't kill her completely, but instead just freed her from her confinement."
"If it weren't for the fact that even I, the one who arranged all this, couldn't detect her presence when she was imprisoned in a mortal body, I would have locked her up somewhere absolutely safe from danger."
Wu Xi slapped his head and wondered why he had to compete with a mortal and ended up with such a pity.
Wu Dong, noticing Wei Shengliang's expression, bowed respectfully and asked, "Perhaps you have another foolproof solution, right?"
Wei Shengliang smiled complacently and said, "Although her human body is destroyed, she has created countless karmas in the world during her time as a human. By utilizing these karmas, she can return to the human world."
"It can also make a judge who has no weaknesses develop weaknesses."
