"I see…"
Luo Mingyue didn't quite understand the cultivation methods of the little people. She only remembered that Lu Yunting was a big eater, so she said, "I'll put some meat in his yard so that he can heat it up and eat it when he wakes up."
Jiang Yanfeng nodded, "Okay, if the immortal needs to see him, I can go wake him up now."
"Need not."
Luo Mingyue put the chicken thighs and braised beef in half, sprinkled some steamed bread crumbs on top, and put it in Lu Yunting's yard.
Qingrui tugged at her sleeve.
Luo Mingyue asked: "What's wrong?"
Qingrui said, "Isn't there also a statue in Tianliu Village? Go and touch it too."
Luo Mingyue had exactly this idea. She came to the sky above Tianliu Village, stretched out her hand and touched the statue.
But this time, she didn't feel as if her soul was split in two. The statue was very quiet and nothing happened.
Qingrui waited for a while and asked, "Why is there no movement?"
Luo Mingyue patiently felt it for a moment, she withdrew her hand and said: "This statue in Tianliu Village... seems to be a little short of perfection. It should be because of insufficient faith. The people of Mojia Village developed faith in despair. In addition, there is a [Wuzhu] in the village. His faith alone is equivalent to that of thousands of people. Moreover, there was a period of time before that Lu Yunting strolled under the statue every day and muttered to the statue. His faith was also very pious. Therefore, the statue in Mojia Village is full of spirituality, but the statue in Tianliu Village... is still lacking some spirituality."
As he was speaking, Luo Mingyue suddenly saw the silver-haired prophet walk out of the house, raise his head and look up at the sky.
However, there was nothing in the sky, because every time Luo Mingyue talked to Qingrui and the others, it was usually done outside the cardboard box, and the little people could neither see nor hear it.
The silver-haired prophet said nothing, just stared at the sky in silence for a while, then suddenly walked out of the yard, came to the statue of the god in the village, and bowed down.
"prophet?"
When the villagers passing by saw this scene, they hesitated for a moment, stood behind the silver-haired prophet, and bowed to the statue.
Invisible energy emanated from the villagers and merged into the statue.
As for the silver-haired prophet, the airflow above his head appeared as white mist, swirling and entwining around the statue, and was gradually absorbed by the statue.
Qing Rui wondered, "There is actually a young man with white hair in Tianliu Village today. Why did he suddenly come to worship you under the statue... However, I think he seems to be very respected. The villagers along the way would call him "Prophet" when they saw him, but he always had a cold face and didn't say a word, but the people were not angry."
Luo Mingyue said: "There was a severe drought in the world, and it was the Silver-haired Prophet who taught the people of Tianliu Village how to strengthen their bodies, hunt poisonous beasts, and helped filter out the toxins in their flesh and blood. The villagers were able to survive, thanks to him. So everyone is very grateful to him."
"No wonder." Qing Rui nodded, then asked in confusion: "He is a prophet who can support himself and save others. Logically, he should not have any faith, because he is powerful enough. He only needs to believe in himself, unless he wants something... Then what does he want to pray for when he worships you?"
Luo Mingyue said: "I don't know."
Qingrui said: "I see he doesn't say a word, could he be mute?"
Luo Mingyue said: "No, he is more aloof during the day, and he is a chatterbox at night."
Qingrui wanted to ask something else, but he saw the silver-haired prophet take out three incense sticks from his sleeve, and lightly touched them with his fingertips. A spark ignited the incense in his hand.
The silver-haired prophet held up the incense and bowed three times to the sculpture before inserting the incense into the incense burner.
A villager nearby saw his actions and said, "Prophet, I heard from Dashi that when worshipping gods, one must be sincere in order to be effective. You don't need to care about these external forms. You don't need to bring incense..."
Another villager couldn't help but be curious and asked, "Prophet, why did you suddenly come to worship the gods? Do you have any wish?"
The silver-haired prophet's black eyes were like a tranquil spring, without a single ripple. He glanced expressionlessly at the two villagers who had just spoken, and said nothing.
The villagers had long been accustomed to his behavior and did not expect him to answer. They bowed to the statue of the god and planned to go about their own business.
Unexpectedly, the silver-haired prophet suddenly said, "She saved me."
"Um?"
The villagers stopped walking after hearing this. A lame villager asked, "Did the gods save the prophet? When did this happen?"
Someone nearby said, "The prophet went out for a while before and was later sent back by the gods. Could it be that the prophet encountered danger when he went out and was saved by the gods?"
"Even the prophets believed in the gods, so we should follow in their footsteps."
The villagers were chattering away, but the silver-haired prophet was cold-tempered. After saying these four words, he turned and left, no longer paying attention to the villagers.
A pretty girl sighed and said, "I really want to know what the prophet encountered after he left, and how he was saved by the immortal..."
The villagers have no entertainment activities, so any gossip in the village spreads very quickly.
The pretty girl bowed to the statue of Luo Mingyue, muttering, "Fairy, I am eighteen years old this year, and it is time for me to get married. I hope the fairy will bless me to meet my ideal husband, and bless me and my husband to live in peace and love for the rest of our lives..."
Outside the cardboard box, Qing Rui asked, "Sister Luo, do you still care about marriage?"
Luo Mingyue looked helpless and said, "Why should I care? I am single myself. I have never been good at getting along with the opposite sex since I was a child. How can I bless other people's marriage? The most I can do is to provide this girl with some food when she gets married, or help with some hard labor. I can't help with anything else."
Luo Mingyue usually doesn't pay much attention to the people in Tianliu Village. Today, after observing for a while, she found an elderly couple making a wish in front of the statue. "I hope the gods will bless our third daughter-in-law to give us a lovely granddaughter. My eldest daughter-in-law gave birth to two sons, and my second daughter-in-law gave birth to four sons. Now our third daughter-in-law is pregnant. Please bless her to give birth to a daughter. Our whole family hopes that she will give birth to a girl..."
Luo Mingyue: "…"
Some young people ran to her statue and worshiped, whispering: "Fairy, please bless me to lose weight quickly and become rich. I want to live in the city. I heard that the city is much more prosperous than the town. I want to move to the city with my parents. Please show me a way to get rich. When I make money in the future, I will make a golden statue for you and build a temple for you!"
Luo Mingyue: "…"
When she was working, her boss always made promises to her. She never expected that her followers would also make promises to her, and even talk about building a golden statue...
Some parents also came to make a wish, "My whole family is illiterate. I hope that God will bless my children and let them all become educated. It would be best if my son could pass the imperial examination and bring honor to the family, and my daughter could also be talented and marry a good family in the future... However, the imperial examination seems to have been suspended in the past two years. Please God bless and reopen it, bless my son to pass the imperial examination, and bless my daughter to be happy in the future."
Luo Mingyue: "…"
Do the people of Tianliu Village treat her as a wishing tree?
Luo Mingyue suddenly felt a little regretful. If she had known this, she should have clearly told Liu Dashi that she was the god in charge of food and drink, and could only provide people with food and clothing, and did not provide any other services...
Qing Rui looked at Luo Mingyue with strange eyes and said, "Sister Luo, your believers have quite a lot of requests..."
Luo Mingyue said: "I just found out that they made so many wishes for me."
Qing Rui asked: "What are you going to do then?"
Luo Mingyue asked: "What should we do?"
Qingrui pointed at a lame villager who was making a wish to the statue: "My Lord God, when I went to work in the town a few years ago, I was hit by a carriage while trying to save my son. My leg was broken. I hope my leg can return to normal..."
Qing Rui asked: "In order to maintain the people's faith in you, will you satisfy their wishes?"
Luo Mingyue shook her head, "No, I'm not omnipotent. Today I fulfilled this person's wish, and tomorrow that person will be mentally unbalanced and come to make a wish... I can't be all-encompassing. Moreover, I can provide some healing pills for this lame man, but I can't help the one who wants a granddaughter or wants his children to become scholars. To be fair, I choose not to help anyone, respect the fate of others, and let them work hard on their own."
Qingrui asked: "What if they don't believe you anymore?"
Luo Mingyue said: "I don't need them to believe me."
"That's true." Qingrui nodded. Whether the little people believed it or not, it would not affect Luo Mingyue's life.
Qing Rui suggested: "Sister Luo, if you put all your thoughts and consciousness into the little man statue in Mojia Village, can you live in the village as a little man?"
Luo Mingyue said: "That should be it..."
Qing Rui said: "Then why don't you try it?"
Luo Mingyue glanced at him and said, "Why do I feel like you have bad intentions?"
Qing Rui said, "It's unfair. It's just the first time I saw a cultivator possess a stone statue, and the stone statue is alive... The key is that the statue is so small. I was very interested at the time, so I was so enthusiastic."
To be honest, Luo Mingyue was also quite interested.
At this time, the people in Mojia Village had finished their meal. Some were taking a nap, some were mending clothes, some were playing with and educating their children, and some were... steaming buns and flower rolls, preparing to take them to Hulu Town to sell.
Jiang Yanfeng was not teaching the children to read at this moment. He originally wanted to lie down and rest for a while, but suddenly he had a feeling in his heart. He walked out of the yard and saw the face of the immortal appear in the sky.
Jiang Yanfeng subconsciously called out: "Immortal..."
Luo Mingyue looked at him and asked, "What's wrong?"
Jiang Yanfeng said: "It's okay, just saying hello."
Luo Mingyue didn't look at him again, but put her hand on the stone sculpture.
My mind was torn apart and I felt a slight pain, but the pain was quickly soothed by an invisible force.
Luo Mingyue controlled herself and immersed herself in the sculpture completely.
As for her real body, she closed her eyes and froze in place, not moving at all.
Seeing this, Qingrui grabbed Luo Mingyue's calves with both hands and lifted her up effortlessly. He put her on the bed and let her lie down.
…
The villain version of Luo Mingyue stood on the fairy platform, blinking his eyes.
Although Liu Dashi did not carve a torso and limbs into the cloak at the beginning, after Luo Mingyue untied the cloak, she found that the figure and clothing of the little person created by the stone sculpture were similar to her in real life.
Under the cloak is a pure white long skirt with camellia embroidered on it. The embroidery thread is golden, the stitches are fine, and the embroidery skills are exquisite. The camellia spreads to the cuffs, and there are silver patterns on the hem. Because the embroidery thread is close to white, if you are not careful, you may not notice it at first glance, but when walking, the silver thread occasionally reflects light, which is very beautiful.
"This dress is a perfect replica of my fairy dress, even the texture of the material is the same... But the dress I wear is a magical device, warm in winter and cool in summer, and has the functions of defense and concealing Qi. This dress is only similar in appearance and the material is soft, but it is not a magic dress. It is just a beautiful mortal dress."
Luo Mingyue checked her clothes, and then began to check her limbs. Her skin felt delicate and smooth, and her body temperature was lower than that of a normal person. It was as if she was touching jade.
The body is empty, without any spiritual energy, and unable to cast any spells.
It feels like I have transformed from an immortal cultivator to an ordinary mortal again.
Luo Mingyue looked around curiously, and then saw Jiang Yanfeng walking towards her.
Jiang Yanfeng was completely stunned.
He had seen the immortal reaching out his hand towards the village before, but he didn't know what the immortal was doing, so he wanted to come out to take a look. As a result, he happened to see Luo Mingyue turning around in place, with her skirt flashing with tiny silver lights.
Her porcelain-white skin seemed to glow, her black hair was long and dark, and a few strands of hair gently rose and fell in the breeze. She had an absolutely beautiful face, and her eyes were dark and lively.
The immortal...came down to earth?
Jiang Yanfeng was so excited that he trotted over and tripped over a stone on the road, almost falling down.
Luo Mingyue said: "Walk slowly, don't be in a hurry."
Jiang Yanfeng stopped only when he ran to the Immortal Fellowship Platform. Although he was taller than Luo Mingyue, Luo Mingyue was standing on the Immortal Fellowship Platform, so Jiang Yanfeng raised his head. He felt that he should say something, but he was too happy, and his mind went blank. He couldn't think of anything. He held it in for a long time before he uttered, "Immortal, the stone sculpture is gone..."
Luo Mingyue said: "My body was transformed from a stone sculpture."
Jiang Yanfeng asked: "Will the immortal always be like this in the future?"
Luo Mingyue said: "No, I just came down to play for a while, and when I come back, this body will turn back into a sculpture."
Jiang Yanfeng said: "Where do you want to go, Immortal? I can lead the way."
"From now on, you don't have to call me immortal. My name is Luo Mingyue."
As he spoke, Luo Mingyue jumped down from the Immortal Family Platform.
Jiang Yanfeng obediently changed his words and said, "Miss Luo."
"Um."
Luo Mingyue responded. She was very familiar with the layout of the entire Mo Family Village. After all, it could be seen clearly from the sky. However, because Mo Family Village was located in the upper left corner of the box, Luo Mingyue could not see the scenes to the north and west of Mo Family Village, nor could she see the back mountain.
Therefore, Luo Mingyue wanted to explore this area. She asked, "If we go over the mountain behind your village, where can we go?"
