According to the agreement, Jane went to Xia Fan's house after work, and the three of them went to the food store together.
"Give me your cards," Jane said to Xia Fan and Fu You.
After handing the cards to Jane, she entered the food store to choose. In the Four King Cities, the resources were distributed by the management committee. There was no purchase. Everyone had a card and took what they needed according to the limit in the card.
"Do you think Lorraine is the person you're looking for?" Fu You stopped outside the store and asked Xia Fan.
"It's possible. After all, he knows you and is willing to help us. My guess is that even if Lorraine is not the person I'm looking for, he will be of help to us," Xia Fan replied.
Not long after, Jane came out with a basket full of ingredients for the night.
The three of them walked along the quaint road in the city and finally came to a very secluded yard far away from the main road. There were many flowers and plants planted in the yard, and it was obvious that they had been carefully cultivated. Every blade of grass was arranged neatly, and the flowers on the trees were all beautiful.
Passing through the fence, Jane pushed open the wooden door and invited Xia Fan and Fu You into the room. The living room was small but very clean. A middle-aged man was sitting at the round dining table. He was thin, wearing a straw hat and sunglasses.
"You two have tea with Uncle Lorraine. I'll go prepare dinner," Jane said to Xia Fan and Fu You.
Then, Jane went into the kitchen. Not long after, they heard the sound of washing vegetables.
Xia Fan and Fu You sat opposite Lorraine. Lorraine poured them two cups of tea. It was scented tea. The white flowers looked very ordinary, but they tasted surprisingly good. Even Fu You, who had always been very picky about tea, could not help but nod.
The three of them chatted for a while. It was nothing more than the changes in the outside world and the four seasons in the Four King Cities.
Xia Fan frowned. The person he was looking for had a pair of Yin Yang Heavenly Eyes, which was very easy to recognize. However, Lorraine had been wearing sunglasses, which made it difficult for him to recognize her.
After thinking about it, Xia Fan said with a smile, "Uncle Lorraine, why are you wearing sunglasses in the room?"
Lorraine shrugged. "I'm wearing sunglasses because I don't want to scare you. Why? Do you want to see me take off my sunglasses? "
Xia Fan and Fu You did not speak. Lorraine smiled and took off her straw hat and sunglasses.
Suddenly, Xia Fan and Fu You were stunned. It was not a matter of whether Lorraine had the Yin Yang Heavenly Eye or not, but the fact that Lorraine had no eyes at all!
Her eye sockets were sunken, and the dark red scars would make anyone shudder. It was as if some kind of monster had dug out Lorraine's eyes and left behind these terrible scars.
Fo You was stunned. "Uncle Lorraine, what happened to your eyes?"
Lorraine said disapprovingly, "I saw something I shouldn't have, so I paid the price."
Xia Fan and Fo You were silent. In this way, they could not determine whether Lorraine was the person they were looking for. What should they do?
At this moment, Lorraine suddenly said, "When this pair of eyes was still here, I once met a person. He was as young as you, but he had an unyielding character. That young man and I could be considered old acquaintances. I once promised him that I would help him investigate some matters. In the blink of an eye, seven years have passed, but he never came to find me again."
Xia Fan was stunned. The Buddha had left home in a drunken state and wandered in the galaxy for seven years!
Could it be that Lorraine was hinting that he was that person?
Lorraine put the sunglasses back and asked in a deep voice, "Jane said that you were looking for me?"
Xia Fan nodded. "Well, we have just arrived at the Four King City and don't know much about everything here, so …"
Lorraine smiled. "So you want to find someone who knows the inside story? If that's the case, then you've found the right person. Before I was demoted to the Four King City to be a gardener, I used to work in Shen Du as a teacher. "
"Teacher?"
"Yes, the main reason why Shen Du exists is to educate the descendants of the four major God Clans, so Shen Du has a large-scale education system."
Fo You frowned and said, "They are already God Clans. What else is there to learn? As long as they practice the skills passed down from their ancestors, all of them will be masters who can run amok in the world. "
Lorraine shook her head and let out a sigh. "Back in the day, there was no God Clan in Cangyue, only the four major families. At that time, a family called Tian Yi suddenly broke in and defeated all the families who thought they were strong.
"From that day on, the four major families became the four major God Clans, and they also discovered the secret of Tian Yi. The reason why those madmen are so strong is because they have mastered the power of Law."
Fo You was startled. He had probably never heard of the power of Law, so he looked very surprised. As for Xia Fan, he was not too surprised.
Fo You quickly asked, "What is Law?"
Lorraine's explanation was the same as what Mingzhu had told Xia Fan. It was the highest power that existed in the natural world, but what Lorraine said next made Xia Fan's jaw drop.
"The four major families searched for the power to defeat Tian Yi and finally found a space with the power of Law here, which is Shen Du.
"So the four major families all moved to Shen Du and swore that they would not leave until they succeeded. Even their servants moved to the Four King City and continued to serve the four major families."
"Everything went smoothly at first, and the four major families also mastered some power related to the power of Law. However, everything suddenly changed in the last hundred years," said Lorraine.
Xia Fan and Fo You wanted to listen to Lorraine continue, but at this time, Jane had already prepared dinner. With Jane present, Lorraine did not say anything, so Xia Fan and Fo You could only eat in silence. During the dinner, Xia Fan talked and laughed as usual, but Fo You looked like he had something on his mind.
After dinner, Jane was busy clearing the table and cleaning, so Lorraine called Xia Fan and Fo You to her study.
The study was not big, but it was filled with books sealed in cowhide. Lorraine pointed at the books and said with a smile, "Although I have no eyes, my hearing and perception have become extremely sharp. Jane often reads for me here. It has been hard on her all these years. I really hope that she will have a good husband in the future."
After Xia Fan and Fo You sat down with Lorraine in the study, they continued talking.
Lorraine said, "A hundred years ago, a strange power suddenly entered the Cangyue Universe. At first, no one knew what this power was, and the people in Shen 'du were very anxious."
"However, as some changes occurred in Shen 'du, the four major families gradually discovered that although this power was very evil, it could also be used by them. Even if they could not master the power of Law, they could still improve themselves with some demonic power."
Xia Fan was startled and quickly exchanged glances with Fo You.
The strange thing was that although Lorraine did not have eyes, he seemed to know every movement of Xia Fan and Fo You. He said faintly, "Say what you want to say. The person who spied on the Four Royal Cities is not here today."
Xia Fan was shocked. Indeed, the divine power that had been hovering over the Four Royal Cities for a long time and had once caught him and Fo You, could not be felt from the moment the sky turned dark.
Xia Fan said, "It's like this. Not long ago, Fo You and I encountered a devil's den in the outer region. Although the devil's den itself is not big and has existed for a long time, it has always existed and never revealed itself. Could the appearance of the devil's den and the Demonic Ant have something to do with the power that suddenly entered the Cangyue Universe a hundred years ago?"
Lorraine's body shook violently, and his expression obviously froze.
After a long time, Lorraine let out a long sigh and said, "I understand now. The devil's den has always existed, but the sudden appearance of the demonic power has awakened the devil's dens hidden everywhere in the Cangyue Universe. If that's the case, I'm afraid the Cangyue Universe is going to experience a catastrophe."
Xia Fan and Fo You did not say anything. This was also their worry. The Cangyue Universe was changing. A devil's den could not explain the problem, but it was likely a sign of some kind of bad change.
Lorraine nodded repeatedly and then shook his head, looking very worried.
"You have to go to Shen 'du as soon as possible." Finally, Lorraine seemed to have made up his mind and said, "Only when you see what is happening in Shen 'du will you understand what the four families are going through."
"However, you must remember to protect yourselves. The four families are not what they used to be. In order to defeat Tian Yi, they have already gone crazy and mastered incredible power. A few days ago, you seemed to be about to escape, but you were suddenly caught by a divine power and could not move. That was the sign of the four families' abnormal change."
Xia Fan did not understand and asked curiously, "Uncle Lorraine, what is the abnormal change you are talking about?"
Lorraine's expression was solemn and he said in a deep voice, "Gods and demons mix, the sun and the moon shine together, life and death reverse, and all things reincarnate."
"This strange phenomenon has been happening since a hundred years ago. I have not been to Shen 'du for a long time, so I am not sure what stage the situation has developed to."
