Chapter 126: Three Lives and Three Worlds Peach Blossoms 3
As the voice fell, the crowd automatically separated into a passage.
A general in shining armor, holding a spear, walked towards them majestically.
When his eyes fell on the embarrassed county magistrate, he showed some surprise and anger.
This is the reinforcement brought by the playboy, his father, who was ordered to garrison here.
Because he held military power, local governors did not dare to offend him easily, and he became the local emperor.
The one who had clashed with Mo Yuan many times was his son. Before that, he had molested women many times, and even worse, several young girls had been killed by him.
This sudden situation made the atmosphere heavy. Chu Hua glanced at the general with a slightly cold look in her eyes.
This group of people obviously had no idea what a shocking event had just taken place in the yamen, and they were still complacently thinking they had a sure win.
The general walked through the crowd, staring at Chu Hua with his eyes as sharp as a sword.
Chu Huan stood quietly in front of him, her eyes filled with a faint smile, and she was not moved by the general's power at all.
"General, I'm afraid you're not here just to hold me accountable, right?"
Chu Huan spoke slowly, her voice cold and emotionless.
"Hmph!" The general snorted coldly. He didn't expect that such a delicate woman would dare to be so direct.
"I have my own official business, it's not your turn to question me!" He pointed with the spear in his hand, his words full of disdain.
"Official business?" Chu Huan raised her eyebrows, took a step forward, stood upright in front of the general, and looked up to meet his gaze.
"I'm afraid he's here to clean up for you, Master?"
Her words were like a whip, shaking the general's mind. Although he was annoyed in his heart, he had to restrain himself on the surface.
"Since you are so ignorant, I would not mind teaching you a lesson."
Before he finished speaking, the general swung the spear in his hand. The wind created by the spear tip broke through the air and pierced Chu Hua with a force of tremendous force.
The crowd held their breath. If the bullet hit the target, even a body made of iron would be torn apart.
The county magistrate, who had already suffered a great loss, seemed to have anticipated something and quickly hid far away to avoid being hurt by accident.
Chu Huan stood where she was, facing the oncoming spear, her gaze not wavering in the slightest.
However, just as the spear was about to touch Chu Hua's clothes, a thunderous sound exploded in the air, and then a silver snake-like lightning fell rapidly from the sky and accurately hit the general who was wielding the spear.
Sparks flew everywhere, and the general's body, struck by lightning, flew backwards like a kite with a broken string, and fell heavily to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.
The aggressive movement came to an abrupt halt, and the scene suddenly became quiet.
All eyes were focused on the general lying motionless on the ground, and then turned to Chu Hua who was standing still, with disbelief on their faces.
Most of them had not seen how the county magistrate was struck by lightning just now, but they really saw it this time.
Chu Huan moved lightly towards the fallen general. There was no trace of fear or sympathy in her eyes, only a hint of indifference.
She looked at his still trembling body and spoke slowly, "There are always people in this world who don't understand the cycle of fate and retribution. You are just one of them."
The crowd around was confused by the sudden change. The general, who was so aggressive and arrogant just now, was knocked down by the thunder in the blink of an eye.
Just then, Mo Yuan walked slowly out of the crowd, each step he took was steady and powerful.
There was a hint of admiration in his eyes. Standing next to Chu Hua, his gaze was like a cold star, penetrating all around.
"You will eventually suffer the consequences if you act recklessly."
Seeing this, everyone's fear became even greater.
The people around began to talk, but no one dared to speak loudly, for fear of angering the fairy who could summon heavenly thunder and the master beside her.
"Fairy, please forgive me!"
The scene at this moment was frozen forever, like an ancient painting. Chu Hua and Mo Yuan stood together, with the general who had been struck by lightning and fell to the ground behind them, and the people kneeling around them.
The thunderclouds in the sky slowly dissipated, and the sunlight shone through the gaps in the clouds onto the picture. The interweaving of light and shadow made it look like a picture of a god descending to the earth.
Just then, a middle-aged man in an official robe hurriedly walked through the crowd and headed straight over here.
This man was the local prefect. Upon hearing about the shocking incident of lightning striking here, he rushed over immediately. There was a hint of uneasiness and panic on his face.
"Fairy, what...what is going on? Why did the thunder strike us? Is it because the general..."
Mo Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the prefect. "This lightning strike is God's will. Heaven will not tolerate those who act recklessly and unjustly."
Although his voice was plain, it made people believe it involuntarily.
Hearing Mo Yuan say this, the prefect became even more panicked.
Mo Yuan sighed softly, "Be kind to the people and don't do evil. The law of nature will always prevail and retribution will come."
After saying that, he turned around and smiled at Chu Hua, "Let's go."
The people around were still thinking about what Mo Yuan said. They were amazed at the power of the fairies and masters, and were also reflecting on their own actions.
Chu Hua and Mo Yuan slowly left the market, walked out of the hustle and bustle, and came to a quiet lakeside.
Chu Hua looked at the scenery in the distance, and her expression seemed to be somewhat relaxed.
Mo Yuan noticed Chu Hua's change of mood, and asked with a smile: "What do you think of this place?"
"It's not so bad. My good mood was ruined by those scoundrels!"
After hearing this, Mo Yuan reached out and gently took Chu Hua's hand: "Since you don't like it, let's set off tomorrow. I want to take you to many places."
"Good~"
Mo Yuan stopped and pointed to a scene ahead and said, "Look over there, those are the lotus flowers in the center of the lake. They are in full bloom now."
Chu Huan looked in the direction Mo Yuan pointed, and saw that there was indeed a lotus area in the middle of the lake. The lotus leaves were stacked up layer upon layer, and the lotus flowers were like stars surrounding the moon, competing for beauty.
"Let's go there and take a look." Chu Hua was very interested.
A small boat slowly cut through the water and headed towards the lotus area in the center of the lake.
Mo Yuan looked around to see if there was anyone around, so he sent out a breeze to push the boat to the center of the lake. Chu Hua looked at him in amazement, her heart rising along with the ripples on the lake.
"Mo Yuan, didn't you say that we shouldn't use magic easily in the mortal world?" Her voice was full of excitement.
Mo Yuan smiled slightly, "It's just a small spell, don't be surprised."
The boat moved slowly on the lake. Chu Huan reached her hand into the water, feeling the cool current wrapping around her fingers.
Before we knew it, the boat had arrived at the lotus pond.
The lotus leaves stand high above the water like small green islands, and the lotus flowers interspersed among them are some in bud, some already in full bloom, emitting a faint fragrance.
