Chapter 75 Help
In the hut.
Wei Shengliang smiled slightly and said, "Of course."
"Those guys were just lucky to win the battle against your clan," he continued, "otherwise, it would be your statue that people would be worshipping on the high platform today."
Su Jiang's pupils trembled slightly, and he was extremely surprised.
He wondered who this Wei Shengliang was and how he knew about something that happened so long ago.
However, since he was able to know this, he must have some real ability. I think what this person said might not be false.
At this point, Su Jiang also had more trust in Wei Shengliang.
Lu Fei simply cleaned up the hut and courtyard, and then prepared to leave Dongchang.
The group of three arrived outside Luming City.
There is a river flowing around the city, and beyond the river are endless green mountains. Lu Fei has walked the road from Luming City to the mountains countless times and is very familiar with it.
However, Wei Shengliang led the way, and the road was the one Lu Fei was most familiar with, but he only stopped at the foot of the mountain.
Lu Fei frowned and said, "I've walked this road countless times. Do you think we can leave Dongchang from here?"
Wei Shengliang didn't explain, just smiled and waved his sleeves.
In the temple in the center of Luming City, Wuxi, who was dozing off, suddenly started up, stood up, and made seals with his hands.
At the same time, in front of Lu Fei, the overlapping mountains automatically moved to both sides, and a small path that no one had ever set foot on appeared in front of him.
Lu Fei was stunned and followed Wei Shengliang's footsteps through the path among the mountains.
Wei Shengliang continued to introduce: "You are lucky. Dongchang is not far from Cangwu. There is a fork in this road that turns towards Cangwu."
"The Fusang sacred tree has been guarded by the Ye family for generations. It is not easy to take the sacred tree away."
As Wei Shengliang spoke, a palm-sized wooden box appeared in his hand. "The Ye family treasures the Fusang sacred tree very much. It is difficult for ordinary people to even see it. However, if you are lucky enough to take the sacred tree, you can keep it in the box."
As Wei Shengliang spoke, he passed on the secret of the wooden box to Lu Fei.
Soon, they followed this path and arrived at Mingzhou City in Cangwu.
Probably because Cangwu has never cut off contact with the outside world, its prosperity is slightly better than Luming City. The temple here is not like the one in Dongchang that can only be seen by monks, but is built openly in the center of Mingzhou City.
The statue in the temple is as majestic as the statue in the trial ground, making it impossible to see the statue's face.
Su Jiang was surprised by the difference between this place and Dongchang, and lingered everywhere along the way.
But Lu Fei had no intention of being distracted and asked Wei Shengliang directly, "Where is the Lu Mansion?"
Wei Shengliang raised his hand and pointed, and it was a magnificent mansion not far from the central temple of Mingzhou City.
"But the Ye family is very strict. How can you get in?"
Lu Fei tried many methods, such as sneaking in quietly, but was detected by the formation arranged around the Ye Mansion and was almost exposed. Another method was to ask to see the head of the Ye family openly, but was harshly rejected because he was an unknown person.
In the short term, Lu Fei had no way to go to the Ye Mansion, so he had to settle down temporarily in Mingzhou City.
Su Jiang was very satisfied with his temporary settlement in Mingzhou City. He was missing all day long and no one knew where he had gone.
Wei Shengliang also said that he had other important matters to attend to and was nowhere to be found.
During this period, Lu Fei heard about a major event that was about to happen in Mingzhou City.
"The temple is electing a new priest!"
Lu Fei heard someone discussing this on the road, so he casually interrupted them and said, "Are all of us qualified to become candidates for the priesthood?"
The person who spoke glanced at him and said, "I can tell you're new here. We're just ordinary people without divine blood. How can we possibly become candidates for the priesthood?"
Lu Fei was stunned when he heard this, wondering what the divine bloodline was. He had never heard of such a thing in Dongchang. Could this be the method used by the gods of Cangwu to control people?
But then, he heard someone explain: "The ancestors of the Ye family followed the gods in battle and made great contributions, so the gods bestowed the blood of the gods on the Ye family, allowing them to possess powers completely different from ours."
Lu Fei listened and felt that it was a bit like the scene of bestowing divine blood after the Dongchang trial, except that the divine blood bestowed by Dongchang could not be inherited, but the divine blood bestowed by Cangwu seemed to be able to.
After that, no one paid any attention to him anymore, and those people excitedly discussed the selection of priests.
"Needless to say? It must be Miss Ye! She is the most talented person of this generation in the Ye family."
But when Lu Fei thought of Wu Xi, the priest in Dongchang Temple, he couldn't help but frowned again, and then asked: "Is becoming a priest a good thing?"
"Of course!" someone explained to him, "The priest of God is the one who communicates between the gods and mortals. How important is that! Only the most outstanding descendants of the Ye family in each generation have the opportunity to become a priest."
"Also, every time a priest is inaugurated, the Ye Mansion will be open to the public, allowing us all to go and pay our respects to the sacred Fusang tree!"
Lu Fei's pupils shrank slightly, and he thought to himself: This is a good opportunity.
So he left the crowd and inadvertently walked around the Ye Mansion.
He thought that when the Ye Mansion was open, he would definitely have the opportunity to come into contact with the Fusang sacred tree. He only needed to plan an escape route and he could take the Fusang sacred tree away.
He was walking around the Ye Mansion when he suddenly came to a remote alley and heard a faint sound coming from under a pile of debris in the alley.
Lu Fei frowned and stepped forward cautiously.
But before he could do anything, he saw the pile of debris turn over by itself, revealing a dirty person. Her face was blackened with soot from the bottom of the pot, and her appearance was completely unrecognizable. Only from her figure could one tell that it was a girl.
"ah!"
The girl screamed when she saw him, obviously not expecting there to be someone else here.
Lu Fei was really worried that her screams would attract the patrol officers from the Ye Mansion, so she stepped forward, covered her mouth, and then took her away.
In fact, Lu Fei’s worries were not wrong. As soon as they left, the fully armed Ye family guards began to search the alley.
But they didn't look like they heard the screams, but seemed to be looking for something.
Lu Fei did take the girl away, but he had no good place to hide in Mingzhou City, so he could only take the girl directly to his residence.
But the girl didn't show any fear on her face. Instead, she asked him, "Are you a gangster? Are you going to kidnap me?"
"Okay, okay, hurry up, kidnap me and take me away from Mingzhou City, preferably away from Cangwu."
Lu Fei denied it repeatedly and said, "I just happened to be passing by."
"Who would pass by such a remote alley for no reason?" the girl continued, "You must have other plans. Are you planning to sneak into the Ye Mansion and steal the Ye family's treasures?"
Lu Fei thought, this is even more unacceptable, so he repeatedly said: "I am not, I don't have it."
"It's okay, we're just friends," the girl said, looking very familiar, and said, "Can I help you?"
Lu Fei: ...
I don't even seem to know your name?
But the girl continued to talk to herself and then said, "But you have to do me a favor."
"Even if I die, you have to help me."
Lu Fei was startled. He wondered why this girl would say such a thing. Then he heard her continue, "I asked someone to tell my fortune. The person said that I can find someone to help me in the Kan position today."
She looked up at Lu Fei and said, "I guess that person is you."
Lu Fei subconsciously moved a little further away from this strange girl, and then said: "I don't know you, how can I help you?"
"That's easy," the girl stepped forward and introduced herself to Lu Fei, "I'm the eldest daughter of the Ye family, Ye Huange."
Lu Fei suddenly looked at her and said, "Aren't you about to become a temple priest?"
"You heard about it too?" Ye Huange's eyes widened as he muttered, "How long have those old guys been spreading this news?"
As she spoke, she rolled her eyes, looked at Lu Fei and said, "Are you interested in becoming a temple priest?"
"Aren't priests only for members of the Ye family?" Lu Fei showed a look of doubt on his face, then said solemnly, "I have something very important to do."
"Forget it," Ye Huange said, as if a little discouraged. "Don't do to others what you don't want done to you. I shouldn't hand over such a shady thing to someone who knows nothing about it."
Lu Fei understood the deep meaning in her words, took two steps forward, and asked, "Could it be that the temple priest has another hidden secret?"
Ye Huange seemed to have found a soulmate and began to pour out his grievances to Lu Fei.
"Everyone thinks the priest is some hot commodity. If he is, why would they publicize it so loudly? Those old guys have already kept it a secret."
"Those illusory benefits may not really exist, but after becoming a priest, you can't even leave the temple."
Ye Huange snorted coldly and said, "Now that I think about it, I suspect those old guys are trying to imprison me for life in some intriguing way."
"But, isn't it said that priests can communicate between mortals and gods?" Lu Fei frowned and said, "So I think their status should be very respected."
Ye Huange rolled his eyes and said bluntly, "Do you really believe that there are gods in this world?"
Lu Feixin thought: At least Dongchang seems to be real, but the god's products don't seem to be very good.
"Otherwise, how is the Ye family different from ordinary people?" Lu Fei answered Ye Huange using the words he heard in Mingzhou City.
"That's because the Origin of Wood and the sacred Fusang tree are both in the Ye family," Ye Huange said, still looking very dissatisfied. "But it is true that only the bloodline of the Ye family can use these two things."
"The Ye family's bloodline is indeed somewhat different." Ye Huange said and fell into deep thought.
Lu Fei was still thinking that only if the priest's inauguration ceremony could be held normally would he be able to touch the Fusang sacred tree, so he kindly advised Ye Huange: "So you should still go back. The position of priest is probably very important to your Ye family."
"No, I don't want to go back!" Ye Huange seemed to have touched a sore spot, and then said: "I have heard the stories of other priests. Do you know how difficult the life of a priest is?"
"They are trapped in the temple forever, unable to leave. They can only keep the statue company all day long. If they want to see other people, they can only pray for someone to come."
"I don't want to live like this. The world is so vast, I don't want to be trapped in a corner."
As she spoke, there seemed to be a glint in her eyes.
She looked directly at Lu Fei and said, "You are the one who can help me according to the hexagram, so you have to help me."
