No one notified me in advance. Everyone in the end times is crazy.

Chapter 290 Deer?

There have been a series of deaths in the village, and the village chief suggested inviting a master to come and look at the village's feng shui. (In fact, he was worried that Jiang Hongrui's ghost would haunt his son.)

Jiangnan came back from school and saw the master surrounded by villagers.

The master also looked at Jiangnan, and the two men's eyes met.

"deer?"

[Deer? Where are the deer?]

In Luo Shiyu's eyes, it was an old man wearing a Taoist robe.

But what Jiangnan saw was a "monster" that was half human and half deer, with white hair and green eyes, more than two meters tall, and radiating light all over its body.

It was the first time she saw this creature and she ran away in panic.

The half-deer, half-human fellow looked at Jiangnan's reaction, smiled meaningfully, and whispered, "I found you."

Jiangnan was still a little frightened after running back home. In order not to worry his mother, he pretended that nothing was wrong and did his homework as usual.

What she didn't expect was that the guy found her mother and tried to persuade and deceive her.

Wu Feng was hesitant and called Jiangnan to let her make her own decision.

"Nannan, this is Lu Ming, Master Lu. He said that you are the child chosen by all creation and he wants to take you to the mountains to practice. What do you think?"

Jiangnan glared at the man named Luming.

The other person looked at her with a smile and said, "As long as you are willing to come with me, I will give your mother a huge sum of money as compensation."

"Human traffickers! No, child-eating monsters! But..."

Jiangnan looked at Wu Feng, her tired eyes and hands covered with wounds.

"If we had money, wouldn't Mom and Dad stop arguing? And after I'm gone, Grandpa won't give Mom any trouble, right?"

Jiangnan clenched his fists and told himself not to be afraid. Death was just a matter of closing his eyes. It was worth it to exchange his life for the happiness of his family.

She took a deep breath, mustered her courage, and said, "I'll go with you."

Lu Ming smiled with satisfaction and gave another instruction: "Practice requires severing worldly karma. Since you have chosen to follow me, you are already dead the moment you leave."

"What do you mean? My Nan Nan will never be able to return home?"

"If you leave with me, you'll never see her again." (History: It doesn't say you can't go home, just that you won't be able to see her.)

Wu Feng hugged Jiangnan and cried reluctantly: "Nannan, please think about it, okay?"

Jiangnan was silent for a long time, then hugged Wu Feng back and said, "Mom, please have another brother or sister."

"Let him/her love you for me and enjoy the happiness of family for me."

Jiangnan couldn't hear what his mother was mumbling, he only knew that she hugged him and cried for a long time... a long time...

Until Jiang Lin urged her to cook.

After having his last dinner with his family, Lu Ming planned to take Jiangnan away, and finally said, "Jiangnan's funeral must be held in three days."

Wu Feng asked in disbelief, "Holding a funeral for a living person? Is that really auspicious?"

"It's okay, Mom. Just listen to him."

"I won't survive if I go with him anyway."

Lu Ming gave Wu Feng some money and told her: "The origin of this money and the fact that Jiangnan is not dead must not be told to anyone else."

Wu Feng nodded in agreement.

Lu Ming pulled out a cloak from his sleeve, covered Jiangnan with it, and took her away.

Wu Feng stood at the door and watched her child disappear from her sight forever.

After leaving the village, Jiangnan stopped and exposed his disguise: "Stop pretending, you want to eat me now, right?"

Lu Ming asked with interest: "Why should I eat you?"

"Because you're a half-deer, half-human monster, and you want to eat me to increase your cultivation and have my mother hold a funeral for me in three days, doesn't that mean you're going to have dinner tonight?"

Lu Ming held his stomach and laughed, "Hahaha! What a clever kid! But I don't eat people, let alone meat."

"Then why did you choose me?"

"I've said before, you are the child chosen by all things. It's not me who chose you, but all things that chose you."

Jiangnan frowned slightly, thinking he was crazy.

Lu Ming coughed twice and changed the subject: "Aren't you cold standing on the snow and chatting?"

Jiangnan moved his stiff toes and said stubbornly, "Not bad."

Lu Ming waved the whisk in his hand towards a tree, then pulled Jiangnan towards it.

"Crazy! You really want to kill me!"

Jiangnan closed his eyes, and what he felt was not pain, but warmth like spring.

I cautiously opened my eyes and saw myself standing on grass, surrounded by wildflowers. The surroundings seemed like a dream.

"Is this... a dream?"

Lu Ming took off his disguise, reached out to Jiangnan, rubbed her head, and asked gently: "Do you like it?"

"Is this an illusion?"

"This is a spell."

"Can I learn too?"

"of course."

Jiangnan looked at Luming and said excitedly, "Then teach me!"

"Not now, you have to become my disciple first."

"When will you become my disciple?"

"It's getting late, we should go to bed first." Lu Ming said as he walked towards a house not far away.

Jiangnan trotted over and asked, "Can I become your disciple after I wake up?"

"No, your funeral must be completed first."

"alright."

Jiangnan looked at Luming's hooves and asked curiously, "What species are you? Are you a human or a deer?"

"I am a 'spirit', a division of the world's consciousness. I am responsible for collecting the scattered Heavenly Daos and cultivating them from a young age."

Jiangnan obviously didn't understand and asked, "What do you mean?"

[Yes! What does that mean?]

"You can compare world consciousness to a human body, and I am the cell that splits out of it."

"I think I can understand."

"And the Heavenly Dao are the children chosen by all things. They might not appear even once in hundreds of planes. They are given the ability to create things with their bare hands and to create planes."

"so smart?"

"Yes."

"Then who created the plane I am in now?"

"I don't know, but I'm sure you're not the chosen male or female protagonist."

"I know even if you don't tell me."

"Okay, if you have any questions, you can ask them later. The most urgent thing is to get some sleep."

Jiangnan followed the direction of Luming's finger and walked in obediently.

What caught my eye was the antique decoration, clothes that did not belong to this era were placed on the bed, and steam was still coming out of the bathtub behind the screen.

Seeing Jiangnan undressing, Luo Shiyu quickly covered his eyes.

"I won't look! I won't look! I won't look!"

The scene flashed, Jiangnan had finished showering, crawled into the warm bed and fell asleep.

"..."

[I almost forgot, this fantasy world is very private.]
