Returning to hometown to farm: The apocalypse system arrived ten years earlier?

Chapter 310 The Spear of Longinus
This dragon vein is not the image of an old man in the Qinling Mountains, nor the form of a dragon in the Forbidden City, nor the gentle and lovely fairy Wen Shu in Nanjing, but has transformed into a long spear.

It's unclear whether it was forged into a spear or if that was its original form. The fragment of the scroll doesn't say. There's very little information in it. However, it does contain a name.

This spear is famous, called the "Spear of Longinus," and according to legend, it is the holy spear that wounded Jesus.

According to the Bible, when Jesus was nailed to the cross, a centurion pierced his side with a spear. This centurion was named Longinus. When Jesus' blood dripped into Longinus' eyes, he was instantly moved, renounced his former life, became a monk, and gained the ability to perform miracles. Later, he was canonized and became known as "Saint Longinus."

Because it was used to prove whether Jesus died and was stained with Jesus' blood, this spear became a religious relic known as the "Spear of Longinus," and some later called it the "Spear of Destiny."

Legend has it that whoever wields this spear will command the submission of all within a 120-foot radius, and the wielder will even control the fate of the world; however, whoever loses it will die instantly. The Holy Lance was once wielded by Longinus, Constantine the Great, Charlemagne, and many Holy Roman Emperors, becoming a symbol of power. Many monarchs with illustrious military achievements wielded this spear and won countless battles.

The Dragon Vein Spear is naturally no ordinary weapon.

During World War II, Hitler also coveted and possessed it, but it was later acquired by the Americans.

It is said that General Patton showed extraordinary enthusiasm for it, and Eisenhower later sent the Gun of Destiny back to the Hofburg Museum in Vienna, where it has been kept ever since.

However, some people say that the US military found a fake.

As for whether it was true or not, Li Xiang could tell at a glance. The real Holy Lance must have something special about it, even if it was just a fragment.

“Eileen…” Li Xiang beckoned, and the French Rose smiled slightly and walked over gracefully.

"Do you know anything about the Spear of Longinus?" Li Xiang asked.

Eileen paused for a moment, then said, "I know a little."

Then, the two exchanged information they each knew. Eileen carefully read the parchment book in Li Xiang's hand, and was quite surprised.

This incomplete copy, well, she hadn't seen it before. Mainly because her family had such a vast collection of books, and she was so young; how could she possibly have read every single volume? She wasn't Jiang Cai'er, with a memory palace that allowed her to read as quickly as "scanning."

“There was only one original, but it was later broken into three pieces. The three pieces were reforged by successive kings, so there should be three existing ones: one in the Hofburg Museum in Vienna, Austria; one in the Augustinian Church in Rome, Italy; and one in Glastonbury Abbey in England,” Eileen said.

"Let's go out for a walk tonight," Li Xiang said, grabbing Eileen's slender waist.

As night fell, two armored figures, one tall and imposing, the other slender, clearly a man and a woman, sprang into action with a "whoosh."

At Mach 12, Li Xiang, with Eileen in his arms, arrived at the Hofburg Museum in Vienna in six or seven minutes. A few minutes were spent searching for their destination.

Even with Eileen, a local expert, it still takes some time to find her; it's not something you can just walk straight to.

For Li Xiang, the whole of Europe was "undefended." The bulletproof glass instantly crumbled into dust, and Li Xiang grabbed the bronze spear from the display case with one hand. Eileen's liquid metal detection ring alerted him: "It's a 19th-century replica!"

She has two special abilities: alchemy and metal manipulation. This liquid metal detection ring is just a little gadget she casually crafted in her spare time, but it is very practical.

Eileen has tried to replicate many technological creations using classical alchemy, making them smaller and easier to operate.

The two left with regret, but "a thief never leaves empty-handed." Li Xiang had previously plundered Europe but missed this small place. Now that they were here, they naturally took everything.

About six minutes later, the two arrived at the Church of Augustine in Rome, and this time, the surprise finally came.

When Li Xiang shattered the obsidian seal beneath the altar, the energy unleashed by the "Holy Spear" illuminated the entire underground palace. Several oracle bone script characters appeared on the spear's shaft.

Without a doubt, this is definitely a genuine product; it's clearly a Chinese item and quite authentic.

Li Xiang put the spear away.

The two returned to France, then crossed the English Channel to Glastonbury Abbey. Moonlight pierced through the stained-glass windows, casting a cross-shaped shadow on the gun. Li Xiang's earth-based ability transformed into rock spikes, shattering the reliquary.

Eileen's liquid metal detection ring gave another warning; unfortunately, it was another counterfeit.

“You Westerners have astrology, can you deduce where the remaining fragments are?” Li Xiang asked.

Eileen shrugged: "Yes, there are. My family library has books on the subject, but I'm not an expert."

Li Xiang: "..."

"Honey, I'm sorry, but I'll try my best to find out for you."

Li Xiang pondered that he should probably still go find Luo Feifei, so he said, "I've been out for many days, it's time to go back."

"Oh? So soon?" Eileen was very reluctant to let it go.

“I’ll come again when I have time.” Li Xiang smoothed her satin-like golden hair. “Can I come home with you?” Eileen asked.

Li Xiang: "..." If it were a year or so ago, when he was single, well, bringing a foreign girl home would have been very cool, but now that he has so many at home, it's not so convenient.

Li Xiang felt he was going further and further down the path of "scumbags," and there was no turning back. In his past life, he was a very pure person, unmoved by beauty, but now he had fallen.

Perhaps, in this second life, I need some different experiences.

"We'll talk about it another time," Li Xiang politely declined.

He hugged Eileen, then vanished in a flash.

“Mr. Armor, I will come to China to find you in the future.” A few strands of resentment appeared in Eileen’s cobalt blue starry eyes.

Li Xiang's trip to Europe was incredibly fruitful, yielding a vast collection of cultural relics and various supplies. When he returned home, the stars were shining brightly, and it was past 2 a.m. He then sent a message to Luo Feifei.

I thought the other person was already asleep, but to my surprise, they replied instantly.

"You finally remembered to contact me! I thought you were having so much fun in Europe that you forgot about me." Luo Feifei saw the news and knew that something big had happened in Europe, so she knew that Li Xiang was having a good time there.

“Where are you? I’ll come find you,” Li Xiang said.

"I'm filming in Jiuzhaigou and working overtime. You can come visit me on set."

Li Xiang was shocked: "Filming so late? That's too tiring. Should we quit?"

"I don't want to do it either, but you go and persuade my mom. My mom is a money-grubber," Luo Feifei pouted.

Li Xiang didn't bring it up again, mainly because he didn't have a good reason to convince Luo Feifei's mother.

Jiuzhaigou is not far. Li Xiang arrived at Jiuzhaigou in about two minutes after he set off. He leaped into the air and looked down. He saw a place brightly lit with many people gathered there. He knew that the film crew was working through the night.

Because many movie scenes are set at night, Luo Feifei has always preferred real locations to studios and post-production special effects when filming.

Li Xiang landed in the nearby woods, absorbed the Giant Whale Holy Armor into his body, changed into normal clothes, and then carefully selected some snacks, a few cans of European-style drinks, and some expensive skin care products from the system warehouse. He packed them in a Chanel luxury bag and went to the film set to find Luo Feifei.

Luo Feifei would never use those skincare products because she prefers to go makeup-free, but her mother is too old to refuse them.

Unfortunately, Li Xiang arrived at a somewhat inopportune time, as Luo Feifei was busy with work. Li Xiang watched for a while, and then the director yelled "Cut!" again.

The director yelled at the actors who were acting opposite Luo Feifei: "Are you guys even capable? You've filmed a short scene more than ten times and you still can't get it right."

Luo Feifei sensed Li Xiang's gaze, and immediately smiled. She smiled slightly at the director and said, "My friend is visiting the set, so I have to leave for a bit. Sorry."

"Feifei, do as you please." The director was very polite to Luo Feifei, forcing a smile, but when he turned to those people, his expression changed instantly, and he started cursing loudly again.

The crew members were initially just observing, but when they saw Luo Feifei hurrying through the crowd and heading outside, many people's attention turned to her. When they saw Luo Feifei almost "pounce" on Li Xiang and chatting and laughing with him, the crew members were in an uproar.

Having worked together for so many days, many people have witnessed Luo Feifei's aloofness and thought she always had the temperament of an icy fairy. They never expected her to have such a playful, cute, lively, and enthusiastic side.

It turns out that they weren't unproactive or unenthusiastic; they just depended on the person.

Many people were heartbroken and cast envious, jealous, and hateful glances at Li Xiang.

"Is that guy the other member of the 'Daydreaming' couple?"

"I've always thought the phrase 'daydreaming' is vulgar."

"That guy is just so-so, just an internet celebrity with over 50 million followers. Why is Luo Feifei so enthusiastic towards him? But she ignores us? We're big stars in the entertainment industry, top-tier at least. We have more influence than an internet celebrity, right?"

"You might not know this, but they have military ranks," an insider said.

"seriously?"

……

Luo Feifei and Li Xiang were both superhumans with keen hearing, so they could naturally hear these gossips. However, neither of them cared. It was just that there were many people around, and Luo Feifei felt a little embarrassed. Otherwise, she would have already rushed into Li Xiang's arms and hugged him tightly.

Li Xiang also kept a certain distance from Luo Feifei, after all, she was a minor. If he touched her inappropriately or acted too intimately, and the media or someone secretly took photos and posted them online, he would be cyberbullied.
