The Elixir is for You, The Poison is for Me

#871 - Take a shower and go to bed

It seemed that Stone had only come to lead the way, but somehow he had suddenly fast-forwarded to saving the world.

Moreover, while these people were talking about saving the world, they were actually just wandering around Bailong Lake like headless flies.

Indeed, in Stone'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.

This also confirmed to Stone that these people were just wandering aimlessly in the desert, because they actually turned around and headed back towards Ulan City.

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

It wasn't until evening, when Professor Xu finished observing the stars again, that he overturned his previous conclusion and pointed out a new direction.

This time, Lu Jing couldn't take it anymore. After carefully considering his words, he said, "Professor, is it possible that you miscalculated?"

Professor Xu glanced at Lu Jing and said, "I calculated it twice this time at your request, and then I had An Shi help me check it. There's no mistake."

"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."

After saying that, 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, and I'm not as stubborn as you think..."

"You mean someone, because they don't want us to find that pearl, artificially intervened to change the position of the stars, but isn't that a bit too outrageous..."

Lu Jing looked incredulous, "Even if you pulled out the existence that imprisoned that dragon back then, they shouldn't have such means."

Lu Jing, who had taken middle school geography, knew better than anyone how far those little 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 affect the observer might be possible."

"How to do it?"

"How would I know?" Professor Xu said unhappily, "It's the first time this old man has encountered this kind of situation."

After a pause, he added, "Let me just guess, the person hiding the pearl probably added an invisible罩zi 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 look at 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 murmured, "If someone really added a罩zi above this Gobi Desert, then his physics must be good."

"But in that case, wouldn't that star chart be useless?" Kui said, "Didn't that person leave this star chart in the hope that someone could find that pearl?"

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

Finally, 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, and said, "Do you know the reason?"

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

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

"A sacrifice." Brahman Heaven licked his lips, "I have pointed out the way for you for so many days, but you haven't given me anything, so it's not too much for me to make this request now, right?"

As Brahman Heaven spoke, his eyes swept over Stone, causing the latter to shiver.

"As a reward, how about I break your remaining two legs?" Lu Jing said lightly, "I don't think you can use them anyway."

"Threats are useless to me." Brahman Heaven shook his head and smiled, "I am only incarnated in this bronze statue. If you destroy the bronze statue, I won't feel any pain."

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, death was death, but the latter, as a strange object, obviously would never realize 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 him, "You said you want to save the world. I like what you are doing. Usually in such stories, everyone in the team will have a use, and some people's use is to sacrifice for this world."

His words made Stone's body crawl with goosebumps.

He couldn't help but take a few steps back, but the teenager immediately reacted. This is Bailong Lake, a dead 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 would not be able to last for a few days.

In other words, his life and death now depend entirely on Lu Jing's decision.

And Lu Jing did not speak for a long time, and now everyone's eyes were focused on him.

It seemed that they wanted to see how he would choose.

At this moment, many thoughts flashed through Lu Jing's mind. Exchanging the life of an irrelevant person for the whereabouts of that pearl was indeed a very cost-effective deal.

Although it was a bit unfair to Stone himself, the world was about to be destroyed, and now was obviously not the time for a woman's 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 say it, shut up and go to bed early."

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

"Come on, if I give him to you, I will fall into your trap." Lu Jing said, "After that, you will only keep trying to lower my bottom line."
