The Elixir is for You, The Poison is for Me

#813 - Take a shower and go to bed

Shi Tou was just there to guide people, but somehow he had suddenly fast-forwarded to saving the world.

Moreover, these people were saying they wanted to save the world, but in reality, they were just wandering around Bai Longbo like headless flies.

Indeed, in Shi Tou's view, the most absurd thing about the whole situation was that Lu Jing and the others didn't even know where they were going.

Every day, as soon as the sun went down, and the starry river glittered overhead, the seemingly drowsy old man would tinker with his strange instruments, while also drawing and writing on the ground.

Lu Jing would then promptly open the large box containing the Brahman Heaven statue and engage in friendly exchanges with the bronze statue inside, ultimately deciding where to go the next day.

In the initial days, their direction of travel was still fixed.

However, on the seventh day, there was a sudden deviation, fortunately, it was only a slight adjustment compared to the previous direction.

By the twelfth day, the deviation was more significant, turning directly from northwest to southwest.

After another six days of walking, things began to become increasingly outrageous.

It also confirmed to Shi Tou that these people were just wandering around in the desert aimlessly because they actually turned around and headed back in the direction of Ulan City.

However, this time they only walked for half a day before stopping.

It wasn't until night, after Professor Xu observed the stars again, that he overturned his previous conclusion and pointed out a new direction.

This time, Lu Jing couldn't take it anymore, and after carefully considering his words, he said, "Old man, is it possible that you miscalculated?"

Professor Xu glanced at Lu Jing and said, "This time, at your request, I calculated it twice, and then I had An Shi help me check it, so it can't be wrong."

"Then why is it so different from the previous direction?" Lu Jing asked, puzzled.

Professor Xu's eyes flickered, "The starry sky here is a bit strange."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Lu Jing looking at him with a hesitant expression.

Professor Xu immediately understood what someone was thinking and said unhappily, "I'm not making excuses for myself, nor am I as stubborn and unwilling to admit it as you think…"

"You're saying that someone doesn't want us to find that pearl and has artificially interfered with and changed the position of the stars, but that's a bit too outrageous…"

Lu Jing said with disbelief, "Even if you pulled out the existence that imprisoned that dragon in the first place, they shouldn't have such means."

Lu Jing, who had taken junior high school geography, knew better than anyone else how far away those small, twinkling things hanging in the night sky were from them.

Not to mention moving a planet from such a distance, even those cultivation novels wouldn't dare to write it that way.

"Moving the original position of the stars is of course impossible," Professor Xu also said, "but using some means to influence the observer might be possible."

"How to do it?"

"How would I know?" Professor Xu said unhappily, "This is the first time this old man has encountered such a situation."

After a pause, he added, "Let me just guess, the person hiding the pearl probably added an invisible罩zi or something between us and those stars."

"Refraction phenomenon?" Lu Jing was stunned.

"What refraction phenomenon?" This time it was Professor Xu's turn to be confused.

Lu Jing scratched his head, "It's not easy to explain, it basically means that we usually see objects through light, and light will be refracted when passing through a medium. Theoretically, by changing the material or thickness of the medium, it will bring about a visual shift of the object."

Professor Xu listened in a daze.

At this time, the little Taoist Xie Anshi suddenly opened his mouth and said, "It's like when we go to see chopsticks inserted in water, the chopsticks will be refracted, just like they are broken, but in fact, after taking out the chopsticks, we find that the chopsticks are not broken, right?"

"Yes, yes, yes, that's what I mean." Lu Jing nodded, and muttered, "If someone really added a罩zi in the sky above this desert, then his physics must be pretty good."

"But in that case, wouldn't that star map be useless?" Kui asked, "Didn't the person who left this star map hope that someone could find that pearl?"

Everyone was puzzled by this question, and no one answered.

In the end, a chuckle came from the wooden box.

Lu Jing opened the wooden box and looked at the Brahman Heaven inside who had come back to life, "Do you know the reason?"

However, Brahman Heaven closed his mouth again at this time.

"Speak, what do you want?" Lu Jing said bluntly.

Lu Jing couldn't refute.

Although he knew that the bronze statue in front of him was just a strange object and did not truly carry the will of Brahman Heaven, and that death was death, the latter was obviously never aware of this.

So the other party really wouldn't care about his threats.

Seeing that Lu Jing didn't speak and seemed to be lost in thought, Brahman Heaven continued to entice, "You say you want to save the world, I like what you are doing, usually in such stories, everyone in the team will have a purpose, and some people's purpose is to sacrifice for this world."

His words made Shi Tou's body crawl with goosebumps.

He couldn't help but take a few steps back, but the teenager immediately reacted. This was Bai Longbo, a desolate world ruled by wind and sand. Even if he turned around and ran away now, he would not be able to save his life at all.

Because once he left the team and lost the water and dry food on the camel, he wouldn't be able to last for a few days.

In other words, his life or death now was entirely at Lu Jing's whim.

And Lu Jing hadn't spoken for a long time, so everyone's eyes were focused on him.

Seeming to want to see how he would choose.

At this moment, many thoughts flashed through Lu Jing's mind. Using the life of an irrelevant person to exchange for the whereabouts of that pearl was indeed a very worthwhile deal.

Although it was a bit unfair to Shi Tou himself, the world was about to be destroyed, and now was obviously not the time for womanly benevolence.

Since ancient times, those who can achieve great things must be ruthless when they should be ruthless.

After a moment of silence, Lu Jing spoke again.

"If you don't want to talk, then shut up and go to sleep early."

A hint of disappointment appeared in Brahman Heaven's only remaining eye, "Such indecisiveness will not save the world."

"Come on, if I give him to you, I would be falling into your trap." Lu Jing said, "After that, you will only constantly try to lower my bottom line."
