Chapter 447: The Savior
Chapter 447: The Savior
If Ran Lang can really deal with these locusts, then how can we find Ran Lang?
"It's good that Senior Sister Mei is here. She has the Goddess Tree. Her Goddess Tree is stronger than mine, so it must be able to deal with more locusts."
Tian Lin walked out of the door, but in fact, he didn't see many locusts around his manor.
Firstly, there were many monks gathered here. They set up formations and made puppet straw men to repel insects.
In addition, Tianlin's goddess tree was also planted in the Tian family manor.
Tian Lin’s Goddess Tree is of lower-level magical power, and the Goddess Tree itself possesses a certain spirituality.
Unlike humans, humans need to rely on their own magic power to deal with locusts. Even if their magic power is strong, they cannot drive away the flying insects day and night - besides, which Jindan cultivator has the patience to stand in the field and fight against locusts day and night for a few acres of land?
But the Goddess Tree is not afraid of not being able to absorb spiritual energy, because locusts can replenish its spiritual energy.
The Goddess Tree would not feel bored either, as it was destined to live for tens of thousands of years. Moreover, the characters of plants and trees that have become spirits are different from those of humans, and they do not have the same boredom that humans feel.
At this time, beside the ridge of the field at Tianlin Manor, his goddess tree took root in the slope.
Roots like vines snaked up from the trunk, and these roots had many hairs, like thousands of whips waving in the air.
The northern suburbs have become a locust epidemic area. Every day, swarms of locusts come, smelling the fragrance of food.
The whip of the Goddess Tree is like a large, fine net, which can sweep away swarms of locusts every time.
These locusts were stuffed into the stamens at the center of the Goddess Tree by the roots of the Goddess Tree and digested. Not only were their bodies and souls destroyed, but the eggs in their bodies were also unable to escape and continue to wreak havoc on the world.
"The sky is above, the earth is below, all things grow, and insects are thriving. Mosquitoes and flies are rampant, and diseases and epidemics are adding up. The people are in hardship. How can they survive the summer? I burn wormwood incense, and the smoke is lingering. I hope to drive away the evil insects and keep them away from my nest—"
The Goddess Tree was hunting prey wantonly, and the refugees under the tree were not idle either.
All of them came from all directions, some were taken in by Tianlin, and some were not taken in by Tianlin but had nowhere to go, all ran over and knelt under the tree. Or they danced around the Goddess Tree.
These people were dancing an ugly and ridiculous dance, but their expressions were serious and they looked particularly solemn.
Two days later, when Mei Xiangu rushed to Tianlin Manor, she saw this scene of singing and dancing.
"I heard someone built a shrine for you and yours, and it's called the Insect-Eating Immortal. How can there be such an ugly name?"
At this time, the two were preparing to travel, so they stood in the small attic in the garden.
The small attic has a commanding view and can see far ahead. Apart from the swarms of locusts, the most eye-catching thing in the Tianlin Manor area is the group of villagers surrounding the Goddess Tree in Tianlin.
Tian Lin also looked at the refugees and heard Mei Xiangu's jokes. He said calmly:
"The more disasters there are, the more evil people there are who use evil words to deceive the people. In just half a month, Beiye County has established a deity temple, and people who claim to be insect-killing immortals, savior immortals, and sin-redeeming immortals have appeared one after another.
The victims were ignorant, or they would rather believe it than not believe it - in short, many of them lost their fortunes and joined the cult. "
"Insect Killer, World Savior? These names are much better than your name, Insect Eater."
After Mei Xiangu finished laughing, she looked at Tian Lin and said, "You said that the insect-killing immortals and the world-saving immortals are demons. Then what about you, the insect-eating immortal? Aren't you also worshipped by people?"
Hearing Mei Xiangu's ridicule, Tian Lin was not angry. Instead, he looked at Mei Xiangu seriously and said, "Your Goddess Tree is stronger than mine. If you become the 'immortal', you will probably protect more mortals than me."
Mei Xiangu waved her hand and said, "I have no interest in mortals' worship. It would be better for me to go back to the Taoist sect and enter the secret realm. The evil spirits in the secret realm will be of great use to my Goddess Tree. How many locusts can there be here in a day? My Goddess Tree will gain very little benefit from eating them."
“The secret realm is not safe. I think Ran Lang will go to the secret realm to look for the fairy city.”
"Immortal City, are you saying there is an immortal city in the secret realm?"
Seeing Tian Lin nod, Mei Xiangu asked him again: "How do you know there is a fairy city in the secret realm? Why have I never heard you mention it?"
"Ran Lang told me." Tian Lin said, "The collapse of the Fairy Cave of the Goddess Sect was also caused by Ran Lang's search for the Ascension Pool in it. It is estimated that Ran Lang got the Ascension Pool and has now achieved the status of an immortal."
"Good Ran Lang——"
Mei Xiangu finished her words expressionlessly, and suddenly looked at Tian Lin and said, "So, you have a big brother who is an immortal."
"It's not the restriction of Hou Tu, I'm afraid my elder brother would want to kill me first."
Logically, Tian Lin and Ran Lang have no grudge against each other.
But human nature is the most unreasonable——
The more you forbid the other person to do something, the more they will want to do it and will be unwilling to be bound and threatened.
So, according to Tian Lin's guess, Ran Lang probably couldn't kill him because of Hou Tu, but he wouldn't really help him like a brother either.
"Okay, since I can't go to the secret realm, I will stay in Kitano County. But you want me to help deal with the locusts? I'm afraid it won't be that easy."
Tian Lin did not try to persuade Mei Xiangu anymore, but rode his flying sword towards the southern suburbs.
The situation in the northern suburbs is certainly not good, but the situation in the southern suburbs is even worse.
The once lush forests are now barren.
The bark and weeds in these forests are not caused by locusts.
Locusts only eat crops and are not very interested in tree bark and weeds.
So these tree barks and weeds were eaten by the extremely hungry villagers.
The villagers who were barely surviving had no food and saw no hope of survival.
As a last resort, one can only place hope on cultivators and gods.
Mei Xiangu soon saw the savior fairy that Tian Lin mentioned.
It was a village with a large population, and a new statue had been erected in the village's land temple.
The village was extremely lively at this time. No one knew where the meat and fruits were found, but they were placed in a bunch along the street, from the east end to the west end of the village.
Looking at so much abundant food, Mei Xiangu frowned and said, "Didn't you say there was no food? Where did the villagers get so many tributes?"
Tian Lin said nothing and took Mei Xiangu into the village.
Tian Lin's clothes did not look luxurious. After he came to Kitano County, he always dressed like a farmer.
Few people in the southern suburbs knew Tian Lin, so no one suspected him. But Mei Xiangu was different. She was dressed neatly and looked pretty, which really attracted a lot of attention.
Fortunately, everyone's attention was on the food on the table at that time. People were so hungry that they couldn't think too much about the naked woman lying on the bed.
“Where does this food come from?”
Tian Lin asked a villager, and the villager looked at them and finally said, "Of course it was given by the Savior Fairy - as long as you listen to the Savior Fairy, you will have an endless supply of food to enjoy."
