Rabbit Must Die-Chapter 685 - 281: Instant Noodle Hair_1

The man shook his head and said, "No... it’s not..."

Qin Shou acknowledged with a sound and then picked up a silver-colored Dacong, "Is this your Dacong?"

The man continued to shake his head.

Qin Shou fetched a regular Dacong, "How about this one?"

The man nodded.

Qin Shou clapped his hands and laughed, "Your honesty has moved me, I’ll give you both the gold and silver Dacong. Live a good life from now on."

The man was stunned, then quickly began shaking his head.

Qin Shou, surprised, said, "You don’t want it?"

The man nodded vigorously, then asked pitifully, "Immortal, do you see, could you give me something to eat?"

Qin Shou was astonished, "Can’t you buy it with money?"

The man said bitterly, "If this was a year ago, getting such a big piece of gold would have made me very happy, I could buy anything I wanted. But this year, I don’t know what happened, with several loud bangs followed by earth-shaking tremors, and intense winds with scorching sun, where can we grow crops? Ah... what has become of our once peaceful world?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Shou instinctively thought of the impact on Earth when Tai Mountain collapsed.

With Qin Shou and Fang Ya there, naturally, there was no catastrophic destruction, but what about the Earthly Immortal Realm?

Especially since the Heavenly Court originally operated on a schedule, having the Four Seas Dragon King and the Wind God and Rain God bring rain and wind everywhere. As long as the local people were respectful to Heaven, they would have good weather for crops, and the common folk would live prosperously and in good health.

But now the Heavenly Court itself was in disarray, obviously no one cared about the fate of these people anymore...

Outside the man’s house, what Qin Shou saw was a desolate and decrepit village. The village, with its several hundred houses, occupied a not-so-small area, but now, only a few distressed people were sitting at their doorsteps.

According to the man, this place was known as Chen’s Village, and most of the people in the village were from the Chen Family. But under the natural disaster a year ago, all their crops failed. Moreover, it wasn’t just their crops that failed; even the wild animals found it difficult to survive. As a result, countless animals began to migrate, even attacking the village.

A large number of rats infiltrated the village to steal food, and as of today, the majority of the remaining villagers had been killed by wild animal attacks, starved to death, or had run away, leaving only a sparse few struggling to survive.

"Indeed, whether it’s Earth or the Earthly Immortal Realm, when it comes to war, it’s always the creatures at the bottom who suffer the most." Qin Shou shook his head. Before he left, he left enough food for the people in the village to eat for ten years.

Still, the villagers asked, "Immortal, when will this suffering end?"

After thinking for a moment, Qin Shou said, "Ten years."

Qin Shou didn’t actually know exactly how many years it would be, but judging by the scale of the last fight, it probably wouldn’t take ten years... If it really lasted ten years, the people of Chen’s Village probably couldn’t wait that long.

Upon leaving Chen’s Village, Qin Shou immediately rushed towards the Three Immortals Road. He was eager to know what had become of the final battle!

And how the people he cared about were faring.

Meanwhile, he cursed inwardly, "Damn scammer, why did you knock me out?"

But since he was unharmed, it indicated that at least the old scammer had no ill intent, as he guessed.

After leaving the village, Qin Shou’s eyes gradually became more and more solemn!

The Earthly Immortal Realm used to have fights before, but those were isolated incidents; overall, it was still thriving and prosperous.

But now, it was different. Every city and famous mountain and river that met his gaze bore the scars of war. Many familiar mountain ranges had been leveled, some cities had been reduced to ruins!

Qin Shou’s forehead broke out in a cold sweat as he muttered, "Something’s not right, something’s not right... How could the Earthly Immortal Realm have changed so much just while I was unconscious? Could it be?"

A frightening thought occurred to Qin Shou: he might have been unconscious for a very long time!

When Qin Shou rushed to the Three Immortals Road, what met his eyes were corpses strewn everywhere, with divine blood churning and roaring as if expressing the indignant hearts of its owners.

Qin Shou saw some monks walking among the widespread corpses while chanting scriptures and holding alms bowls, occasionally reaching into the bowls and scattering a handful of gold powder into the sky. The blood, once touched by the gold powder, became less violent and gradually calmed down.

Qin Shou knew that these monks were conducting rituals to free the souls and appease the resentment here.

Otherwise, if left unattended, who knows what terrible things might arise to harm the living creatures around.

"Little monk, what’s your name?" Qin Shou ran up to a young monk and asked.

The young monk gave a start, then put his palms together and said, "This humble monk is Fangzheng... uh, Fellow Taoist, do you need something?"

Qin Shou returned the gesture and said, "Uh... yes, I do. I just wanted to ask, who won the great battle that happened here? Did any important figures die?"

The young monk shook his head and said, "This humble monk is not sure, I am here following the decree of my master to liberate souls. I only know that a great battle took place here, many Heavenly Gods and demons died, but as for the reasons and the identities of the deceased, I am unaware."

Qin Shou, looking disappointed, said, "Okay... thank you."

After speaking, Qin Shou asked subconsciously, "By the way, which mountain are you from? I’ve seen your sect’s leader ’Noodlehead’ before."

The young monk was taken aback and scratched his bald head, "Noodlehead?"

Qin Shou said, "You don’t know? It’s Tathagata." 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

The young monk couldn’t help laughing and crying, "Amitabha, so the person Fellow Taoist mentioned was my master."

Qin Shou stared in surprise and said, "You’re a disciple of Tathagata?"

The young monk nodded and said, "Indeed."

Qin Shou’s eyes instantly lit up as he grabbed the young monk’s robes and asked eagerly, "Did you come from Spirit Mountain?"

The young monk nodded.

Qin Shou burst into ecstatic laughter and asked, "Did you take the Three Immortals Road here?"

The young monk continued to nod.

Qin Shou laughed heartily, "The Three Immortals Road is open?"

The young monk realized he was almost nodding his neck out of joint. Why did this rabbit have so many questions?

Qin Shou was overjoyed, having been worried about how to get to the Heavenly Realm and who would answer his countless questions. With the Three Immortals Road now open, he could ascend to the Heavenly Court, and all these issues would naturally be resolved!

So, Qin Shou waved his hand and said, "All right, little monk, I won’t bother you any longer. Say hello to Golden Cicada for me when you see him!"

With that, Qin Shou leaped up and headed straight into the Three Immortals Road.

The young monk behind him scratched his head, put his palms together, and muttered, "Amitabha, I never expected he would be a friend of my senior brother. ’Noodlehead’... why wasn’t I aware that my master had such a nickname?"

"Fangzheng uncle, what are you talking about?" At that moment, an older monk came by and asked curiously.

After Fangzheng repeated the story, the older monk burst into laughter, "The Buddha is broad-minded; he’s been called all sorts of things. If I remember correctly, over three hundred years ago at the Ullambana Festival, there was a rabbit that pointed at the Buddha and yelled ’head full of buns’."
