Chapter 199 - The Legacy of Jiuli Tribe (1/2)
“Bang— Bang— Bang—”
The crazy Taoist lashes her several times. The saintess has nowhere to hide and she can only watch the whip falling on her.
Lin Luoran notices the sound of the Whip now is different from the sound of before when it was used to lash the Kui Cattle. Therefore, the saintess is not shrinking. She is only a little panic.
When the final lash falls on the saintess, a light comes out of Baojia’s forehead and rushes into the underground. As the light disappears, the lava around disappears with it.
The crazy Taoist goes after it and Lin Luoran catches Baojia’s body.
With her eyes closed, Baojia looks peaceful. When Lin Luoran touches her wrist, she feels her pulse. Luckily, Baojia is still alive.
As long as she is alive, there is hope. Lin Luoran feels released.
The sand hides the trace of the lava. If it is not the scattered jade and dispirited Kui Cattle, Lin Luoran will feel that everything that happened before is a dream.
Think about it carefully, what happened tonight?
Some “saintess” who might be “Ba”, the daughter of the Yellow Emperor, took Baojia’s body with some magic like “Possession”. After taking the body, she built jade stairs and tried to leave… The earth?
Lin Luoran turns to the scattered jade, which is still lying in the desert and is mostly covered by the sand. It is still a huge pile, but compared with when it was standing in the desert, it looks much smaller.
Obviously, the jade used here has been refined. Lin Luoran doesn’t know how the crazy Taoist managed to destroy it. After all, she has worked at Liu’s and she knows about jade better than normal people. However, this jade in front of her doesn’t match any kind of jade she knows and she cannot find anything useful from the materials White Fairy gave her.
It is creamy white outside with cyan light s.h.i.+ning from inside. This cyan color is familiar to her. Lin Luoran looks at the cyan fox but it just plays cute, pretending to know nothing. Lin Luoran knows that even if it knows something, this cunning fox will not tell her. She has to give up what she is thinking about.
She puts her hands on the jade to feel it. To her surprise, the scattered jade moves on its own. What happened? She looks at the Kui Cattle with alert, but it is still in low spirits innocently.
The scattered jade moves on its own and forms a shape of jade stairs. Lin Luoran steps back and sees it shrinks and becomes a model of jade stairs. The model flies towards Lin Luoran.
Lin Luoran opens her hand and the model lands on it. It s.h.i.+nes softly and looks like crystal, although the cracks on it break the beauty a little bit. The model only has nine levels. When it grows big, it is very huge and tall. Lin Luoran wonders who made it with great power.
She cannot help observing it and finds some small light dots behind the stairs. The dots are like stars in the sky, sparkling.
Several small dots are around one big dot. Lin Luoran gets obsessed.
The longer she looks at it, the more familiar she finds it.
If the light dots can circle along the orbit… Lin Luoran raises her head and looks at the stars. Suddenly, she knows — the solar system? The light dots construct a solar system!
Something in the stairs wants to absorb Lin Luoran’s spiritual mind. In the endless vacancy, a beautiful starry night occurs in front of her.
Some big stars, some small stars. The one that is closest to her is a blue planet. It is extremely eye-catching in the dark vacancy. 70% of the blue planet is covered by water. Lin Luoran knows instantly that this one is the earth.
Other than this, she finds another planet that is close to her. She just comes up with this idea and finds it enlarging in front of her as if it is pulled to her… The surface is b.u.mpy. Although she cannot touch it, Lin Luoran feels the trace of time flowing over it. Is this the moon?
What about other planets — countless stars are sparkling at the sky. The stars are making her willing to explore more. The starry sky is truly beautiful.
As Lin Luoran wants to see the next star, she hears a loud shout next to her ears.
“Wake up!”
Alongside with this shout, there is the thunder-like moo of the Kui Cattle.
Lin Luoran regains consciousness. Her eyes are blank for a moment and after a while, she sees the crazy Taoist standing in front of her. Recalling what happened a moment ago, she feels greatly scared.
The crazy Taoist looks tired. Lin Luoran wonders what happened after he traced the light of the saintess. Seeing that Lin Luoran gets sober, the Taoist says, “How dare you check the star atlas? You have just laid foundation! If I came out a moment later, you will be lost in the stars and never make it back!”
Is what she saw the star atlas? These are just the stars on the first level. If she checked stars on the second level first, she would have no time to wait for the crazy Taoist and something bad would happen.
Lin Luoran is scared. She can make it through tonight thanks to the crazy Taoist. She doesn’t dare to keep such a treasure with her, so she hands the jade stairs to him.
The crazy Taoist looks at it. He actually wants to keep it, but eventually, he refused because of his steady mind.
“You can keep it. See it as a thank-you gift for helping her enter the cultivation world.”
The crazy Taoist is willing to give such a precious gift to her. It seems that he values Baojia, his descendant very much. Thinking about her dear friend’s condition, Lin Luoran gets worried. She takes Baojia’s body here.
“Sir, Baojia…” Lin Luoran almost burst into tears. She has done something bad with good intentions. If she didn’t take Baojia to Africa, Baojia would not be like this.
The crazy Taoist checks Baojia and he lets out a sigh of relief,
