I Can Recognize Everything, But the Information is Wrong-Chapter 483 - 445: Savior Immortal
Chapter 483: Chapter 445: Savior Immortal
If Ran Lang can truly deal with these flying locusts, then from which source should we find Ran Lang?
"It’s good that Senior Sister Mei is coming; she has the Divine Lady Tree. And her Divine Lady Tree is stronger than mine, it can definitely handle more flying locusts."
Tian Lin stepped out the door, but around his estate, he could hardly see any trace of flying locusts.
Firstly, there are more cultivators gathered here. Everyone set up arrays and made puppet scarecrows to repel insects.
Moreover, Tian Lin’s Divine Lady Tree was also planted in the Tian Family estate.
Tian Lin’s Divine Lady Tree is of a low-class Divine Skills level, and the Divine Lady Tree itself possesses certain spirituality.
Unlike humans, humans have to rely on their own mana to deal with flying locusts. Even if the mana is abundant, one cannot chase away the insects day and night—besides, which Golden Core Cultivator has the patience to stand in the fields day and night fighting against flying locusts for a few acres?
But the Divine Lady Tree is not afraid of not absorbing Spiritual Energy, as the flying locusts can replenish its Spiritual Energy.
The Divine Lady Tree will not feel bored; it is destined to live thousands of years, and plants that have become spirits have different personalities from humans—they don’t have the human feeling of ’boredom’ that is boring.
At this moment, beside the field ridges of Tian Lin’s estate, his Divine Lady Tree took root in the earthen slope.
Roots like vines sprawled from the base of its trunk upwards. These roots had many tendrils, like thousands of whips waving in the air.
The northern suburb had already become a flying locust epidemic area, with swarms of flying locusts arriving daily, drawn by the scent of food.
Particularly, the tendrils of the Divine Lady Tree were like a dense net, sweeping over swarms of flying locusts with each pass.
These flying locusts were engulfed by the tendrils of the Divine Lady Tree and digested in the center of the tree’s flower, annihilating both their form and spirit, with not even the eggs inside able to spill out and further plague the world.
"With Heaven above, Houtu below, and all things growing, insects multiplied. Mosquitoes and flies raged, plagues compounded, people suffered, how to endure the summer? Burn mugwort incense, smokes wafted, wishing to repel evil insects, away from my nest—"
While the Divine Lady Tree feasted wantonly, beneath the tree, the refugees were not idle.
These people, coming from all directions, either sheltered by Tian Lin or with nowhere else to go despite not being sheltered, all ran over and knelt under the tree. Or danced around the Divine Lady Tree—
These people danced ugly, laughable dances but with solemn expressions, appearing extraordinarily dignified.
Two days later, when Mei Xianfu arrived at Tian Lin’s estate, what she saw was this scene of singing and dancing.
"I heard that someone set up a shrine for you and your tree, calling it Insect-eating Immortal? How could such an ugly name exist?"
At that time, the two were preparing to set out, so they stood in the small pavilion inside the garden.
The small pavilion overlooked the surroundings, apart from the swarms of flying locusts, the most prominent feature around the Tian Lin estate was the group of villagers circling Tian Lin’s Divine Lady Tree.
Tian Lin also looked at the refugees, listening to Mei Xianfu’s teasing, he calmly replied:
"The more disastrous the year, the more devils bewilder the public with their devilish words. In this short period of less than half a month, in Beiyed County, countless people claim to be Immortals exterminating insects, saving the world, and redeeming sins, emerging one after another.
The disaster-stricken people are ignorant, or they would rather believe in it than trust there is nothing—they end up losing everything, joining cults without hesitation."
"Immortals exterminating insects, saving the world? These names sound much better than your Insect-eating Immortal."
After Mei Xianfu laughed, she then said to Tian Lin: "You say these Immortals exterminating insects and saving the world are devils. Then what about this Insect-eating Immortal, isn’t it also being worshipped by people?"
Hearing Mei Xianfu’s mockery, Tian Lin was not angry, but instead, he seriously said to Mei Xianfu: "Your Divine Lady Tree is stronger than mine, if you choose to be this ’Immortal’, the mortals protected by you would likely be more."
Mei Xianfu waved her hand and said: "I am not interested in the worship of mortals, I’d rather return to the Wenda Sect to enter the secret realm. The evil spirits in the secret realm are highly beneficial to my Divine Lady Tree—how many flying locusts can there be here in a day? My Divine Lady Tree consumes them but the gain is indeed minimal."
"The secret realm is not safe, I think Ran Lang might go to the secret realm to seek the Immortal City."
"Immortal City, you mean there’s an Immortal City in the secret realm?"
Seeing Tian Lin nod, Mei Xianfu asked him again: "How do you know there’s an Immortal 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 because Ran Lang was searching for the Ascension Pool inside. I estimate that Ran Lang got the Ascension Pool and has now achieved the cultivation of an Immortal."
"Good for Ran Lang—"
Mei Xianfu, expressionless after finishing her sentence, suddenly looked at Tian Lin and said: "So now you have an elder brother who’s an Immortal."
"Were it not for Houtu’s constraints, I’m afraid my elder brother would first want to kill me."
Logically, Tian Lin had no particular enmity with Ran Lang.
But human nature is the least logical—
The more one prohibits the other from doing something, the more the other desires to do it, unwilling to be bound or threatened.
So, as Tian Lin estimated, Ran Lang might not be able to kill him due to Houtu’s reason, but wouldn’t truly act like a brother to help him.
"Very well, since the secret realm cannot be visited, I’ll stay in Beiyed County. But to ask me to help deal with the flying locusts? It won’t be easy."
Tian Lin did not persuade Mei Xianfu further, instead mounting the flying sword heading south.
The situation in the northern suburb was bad, but the southern suburb was even worse.
The lush forests once thriving can now be described as barren.
The bark and wild grass of these forests weren’t the work of flying locusts.
Flying locusts only eat crops, showing little interest in bark and wild grass.
So all bark and wild grass were eaten by starving villagers.
The villagers barely surviving had nothing to eat and saw no hope of survival.
In desperation, they could only place their hopes on cultivators and divinities.
Mei Xianfu soon saw the so-called Immortal saving the world that Tian Lin mentioned—
That was a village bustling with people, with a new statue erected in its land temple.
The village was very lively now, and somehow they found meat and fruits, laying out an entire street from the east end to the west end.
Seeing so much abundant food, Mei Xianfu frowned and said: "Didn’t they say there was no food, where did the villagers get so many offerings?"
Tian Lin remained silent, leading Mei Xianfu into the village.
Tian Lin’s attire did not look luxurious, since arriving in Beiyed County, he always dressed like a farmer.
Few in the southern suburbs recognized Tian Lin, so no one raised suspicions against him. Only Mei Xianfu was different, with her clean clothing and attractive looks, she was considerably noticeable.
Fortunately, at this time, everyone’s attention was on the food on the offering tables, starving people, even with bare women lying on beds, couldn’t muster much interest.
"Where did these foods come from?"
Tian Lin asked a villager, the villager glanced at them, ultimately speaking because of Mei Xianfu’s good looks: "Of course, it was bestowed by the Immortal saving the world—as long as you listen to the Immortal saving the world, there will be endless food to enjoy."
