Kato Megumi wants to learn magic
Page 154
"Ah! I only thought of this after the fact! Aren't you regretting it?"
Seeing the old man's sad face, Wang Wei patted his shoulder!
"Don't be like this, you're making a scene! Although what you did was wrong, those soldiers came suddenly and you were caught off guard and didn't react. I think as long as you sincerely repent, the immortal will definitely forgive you."
"Really?"
"Of course."
The old man was reassured by his old friend's few words.
"I just don't know how you communicated with the immortal, old friend..."
Wang Wei asked, and Wang Wei said this because he actually had some doubts about the existence of the immortal in his heart, and wanted to personally confirm whether what his old friend said was true.
The old man naturally saw the doubt in his heart, but he did not make any excuses but answered.
"After that day, I asked someone to build a small shrine in the house. The immortal said that if I wanted to call her, I could burn incense and kowtow at the shrine for help."
Seeing is believing. I'm sure my old friend will believe it once he sees it.
After Wang Wei opened the gate and let the people from Wangjia Village disperse, the old man took Wang Wei to the shrine inside the house, burned incense respectfully, and kowtowed sincerely.
"I, Wang Tong, the village chief of Tonghe Village, request the immortal to come."
Wang Tong bowed with a sincere look on his face.
However, for a long time, the room was silent and there was no response.
Doomsday Natural Disaster Leaps Over Dragon Gate: Chapter 322 Chapter Confess Your Sins and Grant Treasures
Not hearing any sound, the old man's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that the immortal ignored him because he had done something wrong?
So he knelt down in haste to apologize, saying that he should not be so cowardly, should protect the food given by the immortal well, should not let the immortal down, etc.
However, after talking for a long time, there was still no response in the house, and the immortal who was begging did not show up.
At this time, not only the old man was panicked, but even Wang Wei next to him became a little suspicious.
He just leaned close to the old man's ear and whispered.
"Hey, old buddy, you're not lying, are you? Didn't you say the immortal would show up? Why hasn't he come out yet?"
"Nonsense, I'm not lying. He's a great immortal, how can he be available at any time? I think the great immortal probably hasn't forgiven me, or maybe he has something else to do, so I should apologize more sincerely."
The old man's words were accurate, as if he had not lied. He continued to mutter, kneeling down and apologizing to the shrine.
However, no miracle ever appeared, and Wang Wei did not see the so-called Carp Fairy.
At this time, he already had some guesses in his mind. This old guy was so good that he was deceived.
So Wang Wei was no longer as sincere as before, but his expression relaxed, and he waited patiently to see what tricks the old man in front of him was playing.
At this time, the old man did not expect that the old friend next to him had already determined that he was a liar. However, he did not care about these things. Instead, he focused on the shrine and apologized sincerely, fearing that the Carp Immortal would no longer pay attention to him.
Only now did he understand the importance of what had happened before. If the immortal no longer paid attention to him, would the villagers be able to survive without food in the future?
For a moment, there were mournful cries and people kowtowed repeatedly.
This was the scene that Kato Megumi saw when she came back, so she transferred a bit of her mental power into the old man's mind and suddenly said.
"Hmm? What's wrong with you?"
Hearing the immortal's reply, the old man was extremely excited and quickly confessed.
"Great Immortal, I was wrong... I shouldn't have treated the food you gave me as a selfless contribution and not cherished it, nor should I have allowed the food to be snatched away by others, and I shouldn't have been lazy because I thought you were there. This is all my fault. Please forgive me, Great Immortal."
"Well, it seems that you know your mistake."
"Yes, yes, I know I was wrong. Please give me a chance."
The man and the fish were communicating through the air, but Wang Wei on the side could not hear anything. In his eyes, the old man suddenly started talking to himself for some reason, as if he was really talking to some existence. The regrets he expressed sounded real, and the words were precise.
If the other party had not said that he wanted to communicate with a great immortal, Wang Wei would have thought that this old fellow was having hysterics.
But... does the Carp Fairy really exist? Wang Wei had his doubts, but soon he shook his head.
Humph, this old guy must be acting, he must be trying to trick me again! Okay! Let me see how you continue to act.
However, just as he was about to watch how his old friend would act next, suddenly a ray of light appeared out of nowhere and shone on the old friend.
The old man's face became rosy and his back pain was much better.
"Thank you very much, Immortal! Thank you very much, Immortal!"
Just as Wang Wei was stunned, a voice came into his mind out of nowhere.
"Are you the head of Wangjia Village?"
Wang Wei was shocked! This old guy didn't say anything! There really is a great immortal! He quickly replied respectfully, not daring to neglect it.
"Yes! I am Wang Wei, the village chief of Wangjia Village. I wonder if you have any instructions, Great Immortal."
"You... did a good job before. You were brave and resourceful. I saw it all."
Wang Wei was stunned, and then he thought of what happened before when he fought against the officers and soldiers. He didn't expect that the immortal saw it with his own eyes?
However, before he could say anything, Wang Wei saw a bright light purple crystal suddenly appear out of thin air, dragged by a cyclone below and came in front of her.
"It is better to rely on yourself than on others. The food I reward you is yours. You should protect your own things, instead of subconsciously thinking that you will be fine as long as I protect you and you can enjoy it with peace of mind."
"So... you did a good job. This is the protective treasure I gave you. Hang it on your chest. You can hold it when necessary. It can protect your life. Wearing it regularly can also maintain your vitality and prolong your life."
These are the magic source crystals taken out from the bodies of the first batch of magic source beasts raised by Kato Hui in the space. Now the second batch has grown up, and the first batch is ready to be slaughtered.
This magic source crystal is filled with magic power and was enchanted by Kato Kei to contain two spell models, one is a shield and the other is a healing spell.
Therefore, long-term wearing of it can quickly restore the wearer's energy and help them fall asleep better. The shield can also be activated at critical moments.
Wang Wei was a little bit unbelieving, and tremblingly took the light purple treasure that floated in front of him. He had never seen such a beautiful purple crystal. If it were in normal times when there was no famine, this light purple crystal of this quality could be sold for many gold ingots.
While accepting it, Wang Wei felt a little guilty. God knows the reason why he did that was because he suspected that the so-called immortal his old friend mentioned was fake, and he didn't know where the food came from. Therefore, he would definitely not let the officers and soldiers take away his life-saving food.
But who could have known that immortals actually existed and that there really were immortals in this world!
Wang Wei's mind was confused and he couldn't believe it. This overturned his worldview! Born as a man of Wangjia Village, he would be a ghost of Wangjia Village after death. He was not like those officials or businessmen who could travel around the world and get more secret information.
He grew up in the village and the farthest distance he had ever traveled was to the nearby county court. He had only heard the stories about ghosts and monsters passed down from generation to generation but had never seen one.
Therefore, he had doubts about the existence of the Great Immortal and had never believed in it. Who could know... Who could know...
If he knew that there really was a great immortal, he might be like his old friend and not put up much resistance! After all, knowing that there was a great immortal protecting them, those people would definitely be in trouble, so who would want to risk their lives?
Moreover, Wang Wei could tell from the immortal's attitude that he actually knew his disbelief, but even so, the immortal still gave him the protective treasure.
It seems that the Carp Fairy in front of him is truly kind-hearted, and not the strange and unpredictable monster described in some stories.
After thinking it over carefully, Wang Wei calmed down and then thanked him respectfully with awe.
"Thank you, great immortal, for the treasure."
Doomsday Natural Disaster Leaps Over Dragon Gate: Chapter 323 Chapter Rumors Spread, Officials Come
Looking at the treasure that Wang Wei obtained, the old man next to him felt envious and jealous. Why didn’t he get the treasure?
But thinking about the divine light just now, and the refreshing feeling on his body, the old man could only sigh in his heart. In fact, he had made a profit. Besides, who made him do something wrong? The other party deserved the treasure.
"Well, I know what you did. Everyone has their own way of doing things, and I won't comment on them. But you should know that if you want to get my help, you must first know what it means to be self-reliant and strong. I am here to reap good fruits, not to give alms to a bunch of parasites that depend on me."
"If you rely on me for everything, it will only make you lose your ambition. Do you understand?"
"Great Immortal, I know."
"Great Immortal, Wang Wei understands what you mean."
"Well, it's good for you to know."
After a pause, Kato Megumi got down to business.
"You did the right thing, but it also attracted the attention of the officers and soldiers. I just learned that your so-called county court has detained the relief grain and is planning to take advantage of you. Do you know that?"
The old man looked surprised and suspicious.
"I didn't expect that the relief food was actually distributed, but it was still withheld by those corrupt officials. The food has already been given to them, so why would they still want to target us?"
Wang Wei frowned.
"Great Immortal, is it because of my actions that the officers and soldiers are dissatisfied, so they want to come to Wangjia Village for revenge?"
If so, what should we do? Will the immortal help Wangjia Village?
Wang Wei felt a little uneasy, but Kato Megumi spoke to calm their restless hearts.
"Don't worry, these people are here for me. There is no need to panic."
"During this period, everything remains the same. There is no need to purify the food. I believe they will deliver the food soon. When the time comes, just follow my instructions on everything."
"And you guys should supervise carefully recently and investigate the person who leaked the information. This is also a test I give you."
Hearing this, the old man looked excited.
"I understand, Great Immortal!"
On the other side, Wang Wei was a little hesitant.
"Great Immortal, then I..."
Kato Megumi understood what he meant.
"It's the same for you, of course."
Now the two of them bowed happily, while Kato Megumi left quietly and returned to her own space, where she rested up enough to carve a magic circle on the magic source crystal, attach magic to it, and make preparations for Zhang Huan's arrival later.
When the magic source crystals attached with magic were almost ready, Kato Megumi arranged the magic source crystals according to the plan in his mind. The two village chiefs were not idle either, but ordered trustworthy people to secretly observe anyone who was not suspicious. After all, the person who brought the soldiers here to rob food must be guilty no matter what, and he would have contacts with outsiders from time to time.
If you observe such people carefully, you will be able to identify the suspect. Sure enough, after investigation by the village heads, they found a person whose actions were very deliberate. The other party was a leper in the village, from Tonghe Village, and was also one of the people who opposed food distribution before.
The elderly in the other family also went to the mountains to feed the ferocious wild beasts because they had no food, and the remaining food was left to that man.
It's just that they didn't take the initiative, but were forced by that ungrateful bastard. But in the end, the two old men still went to the mountains to commit suicide.
The old man felt very ashamed about this. It was really a bad apple that spoiled the whole barrel. Although the two old men were forced before, they took the initiative in the end. Therefore, the village chief had no right to interfere. After all, it was difficult for a judge to judge family affairs. It was probably this unfilial son that made the two old men give up the idea of living a miserable life.
As for the reason for the other party's betrayal, he could even guess what the other party was thinking. It was nothing more than that he was dissatisfied with the distribution of food. In addition, the other party was the kind of person who did not believe in ghosts and gods. When he saw that he had taken out the food, the laizi must have thought that he had more food, so he took advantage of this to join the people in the county court, hoping to use this to seek a future for himself.
After all, following the soldiers is definitely much better than following their village.
"What a sin! If I had known earlier, I should have used my ancestral clan law to beat this ungrateful wolf to death."
Wang Tong was so angry that he even wanted to send someone to catch the leper immediately, but he was quickly stopped by Wang Wei.
"Hey, old friend, don't be angry. He is just an ungrateful person. He will suffer the consequences of his betrayal. Let's tell the immortal about this first. Don't act rashly or you will alert the enemy."
"Aiya! You're right."
After being reminded of this, Wang Tong suddenly realized what was going on and patted his thigh. Then the two of them quickly reported the matter to the immortal.
As expected, the immortal told the two not to act rashly and to wait for the other party to contact the outside world so as not to alert the enemy.
In the following few days, the other party really kept making small moves. Every night he would sneak out of the village for a while and then quietly come back. Not only that, the ostracized Laizi ignored the resistance of others and always forced his way into the villagers' gossip conversations.
For a time, rumors spread everywhere. Thanks to the lecher's contribution, many villagers soon knew that the county magistrate in the county court seemed to be seriously ill and would not live for many days.
The two village chiefs and the few people who knew about the situation saw all this, but because of the immortal's intention, they did not take any action for the time being.
When the rumor had almost spread, one day, the officers and soldiers finally visited the village again.
However, this time, they did not rob everywhere like ferocious monsters. Instead, they returned the food with smiles on their faces.
"Sir, what are you doing..."
The old man looked at Zhang Huan in confusion, bowed hastily, and asked pretending to be ignorant.
The immortal said that the other party would send the food back, but he didn't expect that they actually sent it back, and judging from the other party's current appearance, it seemed that they wanted something.
But Zhang Huan helped him up with a smile and said.
"Village chief, I am here to apologize. Last time, I was rash and confused, and I actually took too much grain from your village. It was a big mistake."
When he mentioned this Zhang Huan, he noticed Wang Wei standing beside him, and then smiled apologetically.
"So Village Chief Wang is here too. That's great. I was a little anxious last time and clashed with the village chief. I hope the two village chiefs will forgive Zhang's mistake."
As he spoke, Zhang Huan bowed and apologized.
