Chapter 78: Absurd Events Under the Lightning Tribulation

A bolt of lightning struck, heading straight for Liu Yu and his group. Liu Yu, terrified, covered his head and ran away, screaming, "Oh my god, help!"

Xu Xian panicked and dodged left and right. Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing quickly used their magic to try and block the lightning.

At this critical moment, the lightning suddenly veered off course and struck a large tree nearby. The tree instantly burst into flames.

Looking at the tree that had been struck by lightning, Liu Yu said with lingering fear, "How come this lightning could curve? It almost killed me!"

Xiaoqing rolled her eyes at him: "Brother-in-law, stop nagging and just run!"

The group continued running forward, but the tribulation seemed determined to follow them, with bolts of lightning striking down relentlessly.

As Liu Yu ran, she complained, "What terrible things have we done to deserve this punishment from heaven!"

Xu Xian said breathlessly, "Perhaps we're just having bad luck."

Just then, Liu Yu saw a large puddle ahead and had a sudden idea: "Let's hide in the puddle, maybe then the lightning won't strike us."

Everyone thought it was a good idea and jumped into the puddle.

But as soon as Liu Yu jumped in, she regretted it. The water in the puddle was smelly and dirty, and there were all sorts of insects in it.

"Ugh, this smell is awful!" Liu Yu said, pinching her nose.

Xiaoqing said, "Brother-in-law, just bear with it. It's better than being struck by lightning."

They hid in the puddle for a while and found that the lightning had indeed not struck.

Liu Yu said smugly, "See, I'm still the smartest!"

Just then, a toad hopped over and landed right on Liu Yu's head.

"Ah!" Liu Yu was so frightened that she quickly threw the toad away.

Xu Xian couldn't help but laugh: "Liu Yu, you're really unlucky."

Liu Yu looked helpless: "What's going on here!"

Just as they were about to get out of the puddle, an old man walked over.

The old man looked at them and asked curiously, "What are you doing in the puddle?"

Liu Yu said, "We're taking shelter from the lightning."

The old man laughed heartily: "Trying to dodge lightning? You guys are really something."

Xiaoqing said, "Grandpa, don't laugh, this lightning tribulation is very powerful."

The old man said, "I think you're all terrified. This tribulation might just be a joke that God is playing on you."

Liu Yu said, "A joke? This joke isn't funny."

The old man said, "How about I help you think of a solution?"

Liu Yu nodded quickly: "Okay, okay, old man, please think of a solution."

The old man thought for a moment, then took out a gourd from his pocket and said, "This gourd can absorb lightning; perhaps it can help you escape this calamity."

Liu Yu took the gourd, and said with some doubt, "Will this work?"

The old man said, "You'll know once you try."

Just then, another bolt of lightning struck. Liu Yu quickly raised the gourd, and sure enough, the lightning was sucked into the gourd.

Liu Yu said happily, "Great! This gourd really works!"

But before they could be happy for long, the gourd suddenly became scalding hot, as if it was about to explode.

Liu Yu was so frightened that she quickly threw the gourd away.

"Bang!" The gourd exploded in mid-air, turning into a cloud of smoke.

Looking at the vanished gourd, Liu Yu was on the verge of tears: "It's all over now, there's nothing we can do."

The old man shook his head helplessly: "There's nothing I can do. Good luck to you all." Then he left.

The tribulation continued, so Liu Yu and the others had no choice but to keep running.

As they ran, they came to a temple.

Liu Yu said, "Why don't we go inside and hide for a bit?"

Xu Xian said, "Perhaps there are gods and Buddhas protecting us in the temple."

They entered the temple and found that there were no monks inside.

Liu Yu shouted loudly, "Is anyone there?"

At this moment, a young monk emerged from behind the Buddha statue.

The little monk, still half asleep, said, "What's all the noise about? You're disturbing my sleep."

Liu Yu said, "Little monk, there's a lightning tribulation outside, let's hide here."

The little monk looked outside and said, "You all find a place to hide yourselves, don't bother me."

Liu Yu said, "You little monk, how can you be so heartless?"

The little monk snorted, "So what if I have no compassion?"

Just as they were arguing, a bolt of lightning struck the temple.

The little monk screamed in terror, "Oh no! Help!"

Liu Yu laughed and said, "Let's see if you're still so arrogant."

Everyone, quickly find a place to hide.

Bai Suzhen said, "This can't go on. We have to find a way to resolve this tribulation."

Liu Yu said, "How can I solve this? I have no idea."

Xiaoqing said, "Perhaps we did something wrong, which angered both heaven and man."

Xu Xian said, "We have always been chivalrous and righteous, and have not done anything bad."

Just as everyone was racking their brains, Liu Yu suddenly slapped his forehead: "I remember now, could it be that we were too outstanding at the martial arts tournament last time, and the heavens are jealous of us?"

Everyone who heard this thought Liu Yu was talking nonsense.

At this moment, the system's voice rang in Liu Yu's mind: "Host, this tribulation is because you have triggered a mysterious seal. You must find the place of the seal and break the seal in order to quell the tribulation."

Liu Yu relayed the system's message to everyone.

Bai Suzhen said, "Then let's hurry and find the sealed place."

They left the temple and continued their search for the sealed location amidst the lightning tribulation...
