"The rescue I am talking about is not that you use your strength to rescue, but that you tell a white lie," Lu Yun said.
"What do you mean?" Xu Zimo asked doubtfully.
"Let me tell you a story,
Since the black dragon ruled this world tens of thousands of years ago, we lizards have no freedom.
We can only live in this frog-in-the-well village all our lives, and we yearn for a broader world outside.
Thousands of years ago, a human accidentally entered our small world. We were curious about this outsider, so we let him live secretly in our village.
This human being is very interesting. He is well-informed and often tells us about interesting places and things in the outside world.
After a period of time, the man and a woman from our village fell in love.
The man wants to take the woman to the outside world and see the interesting things and places he once told about.
It's a pity that no one can leave here without the black dragon's permission.
Since then, the man has embarked on a path of slaying dragons."
When Lu Yun said this, he took a deep breath and continued.
"It's a pity that the black dragon is so powerful that the man is no match for him, and he is seriously injured every time.
However, the man also has some skills. He has a way to break the barrier of our small world and escape to the outside world, and the black dragon does not dare to chase him.
So this battle lasted for hundreds of years, with men coming to challenge the black dragon every now and then, and running away after being seriously injured every time.
Until a thousand years ago, after the man challenged the black dragon again, he left and never came back.
The woman who waited for the man to return did not lock herself up, wash her face with tears every day, and pray for the man day and night."
"The woman you are talking about is your sister Lu Qing?" Xu Zimo asked.
"Yes, that man calls himself Wrath God, I wonder if you have heard of it," Lu Yun said.
"Wrath God," Xu Zimo smiled with interest and said, "This is interesting. How do you want me to help you?"
"My sister is like this now because of the death of Wrath Heavenly Lord," Lu Yun said.
"I want you to pretend to be the envoy of the Wrathful Lord and tell him that the Wrathful Lord is actually not dead, but has been seriously injured and has been recuperating."
"Is it that simple?" Xu Zimo said with a smile.
"Yes, after all, you are both human beings, so she will most likely believe what you say," Lu Yun nodded.
"Okay, for the sake of saving me," Xu Zimo nodded and said.
"Without further delay, let's go find her while it's dark now," Lu Yun said directly.
"If we wait until daytime, we will be easily discovered."
Xu Zimo nodded, and Lu Yun left the basement and came to the courtyard.
The courtyard looks very dilapidated, with many porcelain jars placed around the courtyards on both sides.
A burst of aroma could be smelled inside. Xu Zimo took a closer look and found that it was full of nectar made from wisteria flowers.
"What are you doing?" Xu Zimo asked doubtfully.
"The black dragon likes to eat nectar. It is in charge of all our food. Only by collecting nectar can we go to the Black Dragon Guard in the village to exchange for food," Lu Yun said helplessly.
"Then you are quite pitiful," Xu Zimo asked, "Have you never thought of resisting?"
"We're used to it," Lu Yun replied, "What's the point of resisting? Even if we put all our strength into it, we still can't be its opponent."
As they spoke, the two of them walked out of the yard and onto the streets of the village.
The sky outside was completely dark, and some red lanterns were hung on the roadside, illuminating the streets with weak lights.
Lu Yun led Xu Zimo and began to move forward cautiously along the dark place beside the road.
Not long after the two walked, footsteps came from the corner of the street.
"Get down," Lu Yun quickly pulled Xu Zimo and lay down on the grass nearby.
I saw a group of soldiers in green armor patrolling the streets, talking and laughing.
After all the green-armored soldiers left, Lu Yun breathed a sigh of relief and took Xu Zimo into another street.
"Are these the Black Dragon Guards?" Xu Zimo asked.
"How can they match each other? The Black Dragon Guard is the Black Dragon's close guard and has a blood relationship with it.
They have to guard various areas of this small world, and because there are not many of them, there are only two or three in each village," Lu Yun said angrily.
"These green-armored soldiers are actually members of our green lizard tribe. They were promised by the black dragon to unite to suppress us.
This is also an important reason why our resistance cannot succeed, they are just a group of traitors."
"It's understandable," Xu Zimo smiled and said, "Either you are bullied by the black dragon, or you join forces with the black dragon to bully you. It's just human nature."
As they talked, the two of them had already walked to a courtyard.
It seems that no one has lived in this courtyard for a long time, and weeds have grown in front of the door.
Even the wooden door was a bit rotten, and the wall next to it looked shaky and might collapse at any time.
"Your sister lives here?" Xu Zimo asked.
"Yes, this used to be the place where Wrath Goddess lived. She would not go anywhere else and would not allow us to touch any brick here," Lu Yun said.
The two of them took advantage of the darkness and climbed over the courtyard wall and entered the back room.
The weeds in this yard are even more luxuriant, almost one and a half meters tall as a human being, and the weeds grow along the yard to the door of the inner house.
Lu Yun stepped forward and knocked lightly on the door.
Unfortunately, there was silence inside and no one answered at all.
"Sister, open the door," Lu Yun said in a low voice.
Still no one answered inside.
"Sister, I'm here to tell you the news about the Lord of Fury," Lu Yun nodded to Xu Zimo this time, his voice a little louder.
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard a "bang" and the door to the room was pulled open.
"What's wrong with Nu Lang?" A woman ran out and asked anxiously.
Xu Zimo looked up and saw that the woman was wearing a blue gauze, without makeup, and her face looked very haggard.
His face was sallow, but he could still vaguely see that he looked pretty.
The willow eyebrows, her eyes are like a pool of clear water, with some of the fragility of Jiangnan women.
"Sister, be careful," Lu Yun quickly supported the woman who ran out and said worriedly.
"What's wrong with Nu Lang?" The woman looked at Lu Yun and asked expectantly.
"Ask him, he was sent by Brother Fury to deliver a message to you," Lu Yun pointed at Xu Zimo and said.
The woman with blue gauze turned her head, looked at Xu Zimo, and said, "Excuse me, can you tell me the news about Nu Lang?"
"I am here to send you a message under the order of Lord Fury, so that you can rest assured. Madam Luqing, you are welcome," Xu Zimo waved his hand and said.
"In that battle, the adults were seriously injured, more seriously than before, so there was no time to inform you.
This time, after nearly a thousand years of cultivation, things have gotten better. Come back to Wrath City immediately and let me wait to deliver the news to you."
