Chapter 264 I'm going to use—a forbidden ultimate move!!!
But the incense has already been returned to the cauldron, and it won't be easy to find it again.
"What is that person's name?" the Moon Goddess suddenly asked, raising her eyes.
"I don't know the exact name, I only know the surname is Lu." The steward Chang'e tentatively asked, "Your Majesty, should I go and look for it in the cauldron?"
After pondering for a moment, the Moon Goddess shook her head: "Never mind. If he is sincere, he will come to pray again. There is no need to waste this effort. You may leave now."
"Yes." The steward Chang'e left the inner room.
"His surname is Lu?" The Moon Goddess murmured softly, glancing again at the surging tide of incense smoke. "Huh, why... has he stopped praying?"
……
The lower realm, the Wu Family Temple.
"Ugh."
The incense had almost burned out, but there was still no movement.
"It seems that Brother He Ning and Brother He An were indeed right."
Lu Chen sighed.
I don't feel annoyed, after all, this is reasonable and expected.
After all, the incense offerings of powerful star lords are not something that ordinary people can easily keep warm.
It's lucky we didn't suffer a backlash this time.
"Sister Sun, how are you feeling?"
Sun Yourong shook her head: "I didn't sense any spiritual energy fluctuations either. But I've never worshipped the Goddess Taiyin, so it's normal that there was no reaction. Perhaps we should try having someone with a higher level of spiritual power serve the deity."
They were speaking quite loudly, and several female worshippers nearby immediately chimed in:
“Beautiful lady, it’s not a matter of how high your level of deity service is. Don’t even mention you, even someone like me, whose level of deity service is 5% and who has been worshipping the goddess for many years, didn’t receive any blessings today. I specially bought 30,000 yuan worth of incense, and it didn’t work even once! The key is that I have to attend a wedding banquet the day after tomorrow, and I originally wanted to ask the goddess to grant me some blessings so that I would look better and be the most handsome person in the room.”
The female pilgrim, whose divine power was 5% and whose appearance was fairly pretty, couldn't help but complain.
"Well, it seems that Your Majesty doesn't want to 'go to work' every day after all," Lu Chen chuckled.
"Then we..."
"Let's go, there's no point in staying here."
"it is good."
The two walked out of the main hall and came to the square outside the gate.
"So what are your plans next?" Sun Yourong asked. "Is there no other choice besides the Taiyin Xingjun?"
Lu Chen shook his head: "According to the two immortals of harmony, the only one who can solve this problem right now is probably the Moon Goddess. They told me to try tonight, saying that the effect would be better when the moon is bright. But judging from the current situation, it probably won't work."
Lu Chen had considered asking the Plague King for help.
But then he thought again, he had just caused his master to be "confined" by the Arctic Exorcism Institute, and he really couldn't bring himself to ask Him for help now.
You'd better figure it out yourself.
"Maybe... you should just give up. A mission that guarantees at least 60,000 military merits is clearly a life-or-death situation. You should take it slow and steady," Sun Yourong advised.
Lu Chen nodded: "Yes, I understand. But the God of Love also said that as long as I try my best, I can at least get 10,000 military merits. It's worth a try for those 10,000, don't you think?"
Sun Yourong nodded: "That's true, this is already equivalent to the military merit of a top-level S-class mission."
Lu Chen scratched his head, his mind racing: "Before, the two immortals of harmony said that the goddess likes to watch plays..."
"Watch a play? Then I'll find a troupe of actors?"
"There's no need. The methods we can think of have already been tried by others. The Moon God is not an obscure or insignificant deity. Over the years, he has probably seen all the shows that are worth watching."
Sun Yourong's face fell: "Alright, then I have no choice but to rely on your clever brain."
Lu Chen paced back and forth in the square, muttering to himself, "Watching a show, watching a show... what kind of show could possibly attract the attention of the Moon Goddess?"
He thought it over and over.
Sudden--
A sudden inspiration struck him, and he abruptly stopped in his tracks.
"Ah, I've got it!!"
"What's wrong? What can we do?"
Lu Chen quickly turned around, his eyes shining: "Sister Sun, have you heard the story of Hou Yi and Chang'e?"
"Hou Yi and Chang'e? Is that the story of the man shooting down the suns and the woman stealing the elixir of immortality and ascending to the moon?" "That's right!"
Sun Yourong nodded: "I have indeed heard this story. It seems that in the end, the woman didn't become Chang'e, but was punished by the Star Lord and demoted to a toad in the Moon Palace, right?"
"Wow, Sister Sun has really learned a lot this time!" Lu Chen said with a smile.
Sun Yourong rolled her eyes at him: "Do you really think I don't know anything? But is this story true? Is it true that Hou Yi shot down the suns and Chang'e flew to the moon?"
"Who cares if it exists or not! As long as it's widely circulated among humans, it's 'real' to the Moon Palace. Even if it's fake, it's real!"
Sun Yourong nodded thoughtfully: "So... what's your thought?"
"Since we're tired of the usual drama, this time we'll have to use some 'forbidden moves'."
Lu Chen narrowed his eyes slightly: "Tell me, if we were to put on a show called 'Hou Yi Chasing Chang'e' in front of the Moon Goddess, what would she think?"
Sun Yourong's pupils constricted sharply, and her voice rose several decibels: "Lu Chen! Are you crazy? If this is true, aren't you courting death? How is this any different from directly provoking the Empress's wrath!"
Lu Chen chuckled: "So, does that mean we've successfully caught His attention? Doesn't that mean we're halfway there? It's better than not making a sound at all, right?"
Sun Yourong frowned: "That's true, but it's said that once the Goddess of the Moon gets angry, she might..."
"You'll undergo gender reassignment surgery, right?"
"Hmm... there is such a saying. Whether it's true or not, I've never seen it." Sun Yourong couldn't help but chuckle: "What, are you really planning to become my sister this time?"
Lu Chen: "..."
He scratched his head: "This is definitely a big problem. Ugh, it's tough! This time it's really... tough for my ass!"
Sun Yourong: "..."
"However, I still think this method has the best chance. The difficulty lies only in 'micromanagement'—how to stabilize the situation the moment the Empress becomes angry. What do you think?"
“The key is that you can’t hold on! The Moon Goddess is the ruler of the Moon Palace and one of the Nine Luminaries. What can you use to block her? Your…brother?” Sun Yourong said, her face turning red.
Lu Chen's forehead was covered in black lines.
"Sister Sun, you've changed..."
"Change my head! Let's get down to business!" Sun Yourong quickly steered the conversation back on track: "Why don't you go ask your master? The Plague Emperor is one of the Eight Great Gods, and his strength should be similar to that of the Empress. Maybe he can help? Or you could ask him to put in a good word for you?"
Lu Chen shook his head: "Forget it, I've troubled Master enough before, let's skip it this time."
Actually, even if he went to look for it now, it wouldn't make a difference.
The message might get through, but the blessing will definitely not be granted.
All avenues for offering sacrifices have been cut off.
It's estimated that the Plague God's guardian deity, the Five Plague Envoys, is not in a much better situation right now.
Right now, the only person he can actually contact is probably the jinx.
Speaking of which, why wasn't the jinx affected this time?
Lu Chen was also a little puzzled.
Could it be that the old star official didn't want the celestial beings in Heaven to know that the Seven Treasures Pagoda had been "contaminated" by bad luck?
That's quite possible!
"Wait a minute! A jinx?!"
But then, Lu Chen suddenly realized what he'd done and slapped his forehead: "Oh dear! How could I forget my dear jinx! He's protected by bad luck, invincible!"
"Huh? What?" Sun Yourong was taken aback.
"Come on, come home with me! I've got an idea!"
Lu Chen immediately became excited and pulled Sun Yourong outside.
……
"Ah!"
Meanwhile, in the Heavenly Court, the jinx, who was on his way to the Imperial Stables, suddenly sneezed.
A sudden chill ran through my body.
"Strange, I have a bad feeling about this..."
