Chapter 449 I am the Insect Eater
Chapter 449 I am the Insect Eater
On the rows of altars, there were piles of feces and broken bones and flesh, which looked extremely disgusting.
But the villagers did not see through the trick and just thought that Tian Lin had replaced all their food.
I don’t know who was brave enough to throw a ball of mud at Tian Lin.
But how could a ball of mud thrown by a mortal possibly hit Tian Lin?
Tian Lin used his true Qi to shake off the flying mud balls while saying:
"The so-called savior is just an evil cultivator who can use illusions. You have been eating feces for so many days, and that's fine, but don't you know that the rotten meat is the flesh of your own kind? Aren't you afraid that after you die, you will be questioned by the ghost messenger in front of Yama?"
No matter what Tian Lin said, these villagers had lost hope of living.
Even though the savior lied to them, as long as they didn't know that the chicken, duck, fish and meat were made from feces and human flesh, and everyone ate them with their noses pinched, what would it matter?
At this moment, everyone present wanted to kill Tian Lin and Mei Xiangu who had done a good deed, but the Savior Fairy was no match for Mei Xiangu, and they did not dare to attack Tian Lin.
"Why waste so much time talking? Now that you have killed the Immortal Savior, your wish has been fulfilled. Now that the matter has been settled, why waste time talking to these people?"
"Now, Beiye County is full of immortals. Although the savior immortal is dead, if these villagers have no one to protect them, they will probably go to other places to join the evil cult. Or, some evil cultivators will come here and occupy the mountain to establish another evil cult.
Instead of that, why don't you be a new savior here?"
Mei Xiangu then realized the purpose of Tian Lin bringing her here. She couldn't help but laugh and said, "Why should I help these ignorant mortals? I have no interest in saving the world."
Tian Lin said: "How can we, the two of us, have the power to save the world? Besides, I am not trying to help these villagers - I just think that if things continue to develop like this, sooner or later it will affect the northern suburbs.
Beijiao is my dojo, and I don’t want the situation to affect my dojo.”
He is now gaining enlightenment in the northern suburbs. Because of his Goddess Tree, the locusts are barely able to become a major disaster.
But as time went on, his goddess tree could no longer stop the swarms of locusts.
If Mei Xiangu takes root near him, her presence will not only reduce his pressure to eliminate the locusts, but she will also be able to take care of him in the future if anything happens.
"Why don't you go to the Daoist sect to build a temple? There won't be any locust attacks there."
"The lands of the Daoist sect are all excellent spiritual fields. They can't allocate a few acres to me, and they can't let me do whatever I want. Besides, I want to realize the truth, and spiritual fields alone are not enough."
Some clever villager suddenly knelt on the ground and shouted, "Please have mercy on us, immortal, and protect us. We are willing to build a shrine for you, and we hope that our descendants will support you for generations to come."
This person's words awakened the villagers, and many villagers knelt down before Mei Xiangu.
Only a few of them were still lying in front of the altar, looking at the feces on the altar that were originally chicken, duck, fish and meat but have now turned back into their original form.
"If I don't stay here and do this useless job, what are you going to do?"
Mei Xiangu ignored the villagers and just looked at the fields and forests.
Tian Lin said frankly: "These people have eaten human flesh, although they did not do it on their own initiative. But how can I keep people who have eaten human flesh in this world?"
He still remembers what Ran Lang said, that after the end of the world, eating human flesh became a trend.
The formation of this trend is not only due to the long-term lack of food, but also because those who can survive have already crossed the bottom line of being a human being.
People were extremely hungry, and only a few of them crossed the line and ate their own kind.
The reason why it was difficult to break through the bottom line at first was simply because you felt that cannibalism was wrong. But once you break through the bottom line, after eating people a few more times, you probably won’t think there’s anything wrong with cannibalism. Isn’t it also for the sake of living hard?
“These people are more likely to feed on humans than others.”
When the villagers heard that Tian Lin wanted to kill them, they were terrified. Someone cried, "Goddess, we were deceived and ate human flesh accidentally. We didn't do it on purpose. We promise that we will never eat human flesh again. Please forgive us."
Tian Lin sneered, "You are not that hungry yet. If no one is controlling you, when you are extremely hungry, do you think you won't eat?"
Those people then turned to Mei Xiangu for help, hoping that she would stay to help them and asking her to plead for mercy.
How could Fairy Mei be moved by just a few words from these people?
Fairy Mei is always rude to others, but that is only to her fellow cultivators.
On the contrary, she has no interest in bullying mortals.
Especially when she saw many little girls in the village with confused and frightened looks on their faces, she couldn't help but frown even more tightly.
Tian Lin knew that she was soft-hearted, but he did not use her weakness to scare her.
If Mei Xiangu really didn't stay here, it would be impossible for Tian Lin to keep those present alive.
"Okay, I can stay here, but I don't have any food to feed these idiots."
Tian Lin smiled and said, “As long as you place the Goddess Tree here and set up some formations, there won’t be many locusts coming.
The thing that Beiye County lacks the least now is land. When it comes time to reclaim the wasteland, I will find people to come and help plant the land. When the crops grow in the land, we won’t have to worry about the villagers running out of food.”
"Okay, I'll do as you say!"
Fairy Mei threw the Goddess Tree in her hand out of the village. In an instant, her Goddess Tree took root and grew into a towering tree.
Under the goddess tree that was as big as a hill, wood whiskers appeared from the ground. These wood whiskers whipped the sky, and flocks of locusts were caught by the wood whiskers. In an instant, half of the locusts in the sky were gone.
Mei Xiangu's Goddess Tree is already a Taoist artifact-like existence, and its power is naturally incomparable to Tian Lin's Goddess Tree.
In the village, the villagers were dumbfounded when they saw this magical scene.
Someone asked, "Are there trees like this in Tianjiazhuang over there? But those trees are not as big or as powerful as the ones here."
"I've said it before, the insect-eating fairy can't beat the rescuer - can't beat our fairy lady."
The villager who had been talking to Mei Xiangu and Tian Lin before knelt down in front of Mei Xiangu and said, "We want to build a temple for the immortal. What is the immortal's Taoist name?"
"My last name is Mei, you can just call me Fairy Aunt!"
The villagers accepted the orders and received the promise of Mei Xiangu's protection. They no longer had to worry about Tian Lin killing them again, so they were naturally very happy.
In fact, the shrine does not need to be rebuilt. All you need to do is replace the sign of the Savior Fairy and hang up a sign that says [Meixian Temple].
But Tian Lin didn't wait for the villagers to disperse. He said, "In two days, we will set up a magic circle here. You should circle out some usable land. I will send the spiritual farmers from Tianjiazhuang to teach you how to farm."
In fact, everyone present knew how to farm, but what caught people's attention was that Tian Lin said he would send a spiritual farmer from Tianjiazhuang.
The villagers who had said that the insect-eating fairy could not beat the plum fairy had a bad feeling and asked Tian Lin: "Why would Tianjiazhuang listen to you? Could it be that -"
Tian Lin said: "Yes, I am the insect-eating fairy."
