Who Stole My Eggs?

“Plop-” there was a sound, and someone jumped into the sea.

“You little bastard, come back here!” Aunt Li yelled anxiously.

Xie Zuo took a look and saw it was Li Ling again. He didn’t know when he woke up and actually jumped off the boat and swam to the Yaoshan Mountain.

Xie Zuo urged the boat to stop him, “Don’t you value your life? Stay here!”

Li Ling wiped the water on his face and shouted loudly: “Get out of here, I’m going to save the Deity of Medicine!”

“Save your ass! Just stay put!” Xie Zuo was about to drag Li Ling up and knock him unconscious, but the man dodged and quickly swam away, shouting, “Wait a minute, everyone, don’t you understand? It’s the Deity of Medicine who asked us to leave because she was afraid that we would be implicated!”

Li Ling pointed at Huo Yao in the sky, “I know who he is, he is the Deity of Thunder in the sky, and he wants to kill the Deity of Medicine!”

The legend of the immortal being able to survive the thunder tribulation was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and everyone saw it with their own eyes and immediately believed it.

Li Ling asked Xie Zuo, “The Deity of Medicine has always done good deeds, cured diseases, and saved people, and has never done anything bad. Why should she be punished?”

Xie Zuo rolled his eyes to the sky, “You ask me, who am I asking? I also want to know. I didn’t do anything bad, but I was about to be struck by lightning too.”

Li Ling had a determined look on his face, “I’m going to defend the Deity of Medicine from the sky thunder. Anyone who stops me will have to take my life!”

Xie Zuo looked at him, and after a while, he asked the boat to move away, “Then go.”

Li Ling didn’t hesitate anymore and rushed into the fog, swimming to the Yaoshan Mountain.

Just after Li Ling entered the fog, a thin golden thread came out from his body, drifted in the wind like a spider’s silk to the Yaoshan Mountain, and landed on Bian Zhong, who was undergoing a heavenly tribulatino.

The other villagers saw this and started talking a lot.

“He has gone back.”

“I know that all deities will suffer.”

“It seems that if a believer sincerely makes a wish, he can suffer the punishment for the deities.”

“What can we do?”

“Go back and see, the Deity of Medicine saved us. The life of the whole family, without her, we would have died.”

“That’s right, if my ancestors didn’t live here and were saved by the deity of medicine, I don’t know where they are. Go back!”

More and more boats started to go back. One, two, three…

Xie Zuo counted silently and found that all the ships had returned. They were sailing in the fog, and it was impossible to tell the direction in the fog. The experienced fisherman took out the tricolor stone and drove in the direction where the strong light could be caught.

Thin golden threads came out from the villagers one after another and fell on Bian Zhong one after another. Although they were slender, there were so many of them, they gradually formed a golden net, protecting Bian Zhong underneath.

The thick, powerful thunderbolt landed on the golden net and was bounced away.

Huo Yao in the sky also saw all this. These were the lights of merit, condensed from the determination of Bian Zhong’s believers to protect her and shield her from harm by the thunder. But in this way…

“Ah——!”

“Oh, it hurts so much—!”

Screams came one after another from the sea, and the damage from the sky thunder had been partially transferred to the villagers. How could their mortal bodies endure it!

Bian Zhong shed tears crazily, and her voice echoed across the sea, “You idiots, fools, who let you get in the way!”

Li Ling was still floating on the sea, already half dead from being struck by thunder, and he said dying: “You have been protecting us all this time, now it’s us…”

Bian Zhong yelled: “How stupid!” She trapped these people here in the name of curing illnesses and saving lives, just to use them to avoid the tribulation, these ignorant moles!

Seeing a thunderbolt falling from the sky, it headed straight to the sea. Bian Zhong gritted her teeth and turned her entire body into a fine net, covering the villagers and firmly protecting them.

In the dazzling electric light, everyone closed their eyes: ‘Just die!’

The expected pain did not come, and the thunder and lightning did not continue.

Bian Zhong secretly opened one eye and looked at the sky.

Huo Yao stood high in the air and whispered: “That’s enough.” He waved his spear flatly. Suddenly, the black clouds dissipated, the strong wind suddenly stopped, and the thunder and lightning retreated.

Bian Zhong looked at Huo Yao in disbelief: “You…” Suddenly, a golden light fell from the sky and enveloped her entirely.

Bian Zhong’s hair was tied up again, her divine robe and boots automatically returned to her body, and a green medicine deity’s hat fell from the sky and landed on her head. After a moment, a green fairy vine stretched out from under her feet, holding her up into the sky.

Since she stopped avoiding the tribulation, she could take back her divine position. Now, she had successfully overcome the tribulation and finally returned to her post!
