"all gone?"

Xingzhi nodded: "It seems that a group of people were taken away before them. They should have gone south, but they don't know the exact location."

"This is a matter of your heaven, and it has nothing to do with me. If you want to save people, you can go yourself. I'm going to Yangzhou." After saying that, Shen Li walked away on the clouds, but after flying for a while, she found that Xingzhi had been following behind her, and Shen Li turned her head. , staring at him, "Follow what!"

Xingzhi smiled helplessly: "Yangzhou is also in the south. We are on the same road."

Shen Li was silent. Although there was still a bit of anger in his heart, he was not in a hurry to drive people away, Xingzhi followed her for a while, getting closer and closer, and finally walked side by side with her, glanced at Shen Li a few times, and asked : "Want something to eat?"

Shen Li's mouth was hard, and she spit out a cold sentence: "I don't want to." But her stomach answered with no promise. The corners of her mouth twitched, listening to Xingzhi beside her with an unkind smile. Shen Li was even more annoyed in her heart. She was about to run on the clouds, but her wrist was pulled by Xingzhi: "There happens to be a family down there. Let's go and borrow the kitchen to get some food. It's been a long time since I ate the five grains, so I miss it a bit."

Shen Li's eyes moved: "You do?"

Xingzhi smiled: "I do."

"Go down."

What Xingzhi does, or what Xingyun does, is really a bit memorable.

This family in the mountains is right on the side of the road. It seems that passersby are used to borrowing land to rest here. There are also a few tables outside the house, and a big "tea" sign hangs on the side of the house. Before Shen Li and Xingzhi could sit down, a middle-aged woman dressed as a peasant came out of the house: "Hey, are you two drinking tea?" She greeted warmly, "Sit and sit."

"Auntie, we are hungry, can I borrow your kitchen to get some food?"

The peasant woman blinked, looked between the two, and said with a smile, "What do you want to eat, I'll help you do it."

Xingzhi smiled and said, "My sister is stubborn. I'm afraid that you will not make it to your taste, and the reward will still be given to you later."

The peasant woman was silent for a moment: "Uh, okay, I'll go and clean up the kitchen first. You drink tea first." Then, she graciously brought the cups and served them tea. Then he hurried to the kitchen.

"Black shop." Shen Li touched the rim of the teacup and came to a conclusion.

"Is your lord afraid?"

Shen Li raised her head and drank the tea in her hand: "I thought that they were still inferior to Divine Sovereign."

Xingzhi smiled lightly: "Your Highness lifts it up."

When the peasant woman was ready, she came out of the house and saw that the two were still sitting upright. A trace of doubt flashed on their faces, but she smiled and walked over: "It's all cleaned up, sir, let's go." Lifting the teapot on the table, I felt that there was only half a pot of water left, and looked at the two with a somewhat surprised expression.

Shen Li took a sip of tea in front of her: "What's wrong?"

The peasant woman smiled and said, "No, just walking to the barren mountains and ridges, I don't get tired. I think the girl's body may be very good."

Shen Li smiled: "It's okay, it's just killing thousands of monsters."

A faint green light flashed in the peasant woman's eyes: "Young lady is really a joker." Shen Li was not as calm as Xingzhi, and she didn't like to sell things like he did, she immediately grabbed the peasant woman's neck and pressed her on the table , "I don't like to joke." After saying that, he mentioned the pot of tea and poured it directly into the peasant woman's mouth.

The peasant woman struggled desperately with her hands and feet, but it didn't even have the right to speak, and she was so drenched by Shen Li that she was so dizzy that she couldn't find her way. Shen Li lifted her and shook her, the peasant woman's limbs shortened, the flesh slowly transformed into smooth skin, the tail dragged back and forth on the ground, and turned into a green python.

Throwing the already powerless python to the ground, Shen Li said coldly, "Come out, hide and kill her."

As soon as the words fell, a girl rolled and crawled out of the haystack on the side: "Don't! Don't kill my mother!" Her voice was soft, and the road was still a little unstable. Legs, changing back and forth, before she ran to Green Python's side, she tripped herself to the ground and fluttered with ashes on her face.

Xingzhi smiled, just about to make a joke, when she saw Shen Li abruptly take two steps forward to help the girl up, she patted her cheek not too dirty, and said happily, "Xiao He!"

The girl stared blankly at Shen Li, her voice trembling because of fear: "I'm not Xiao He... I'm sorry..."

The girl's body was shaking so badly that Shen Li had to let her go for the time being.

Just now she was overjoyed and forgot that the Xiao He she knew had sacrificed herself for the person he liked, and whether or not she only looked like Xiao He, even if she was really Xiao He's reincarnation, not everyone was the same. Xingzhi, Mengpo Tang is a poison and a relief to ordinary people. In this life, she no longer knows the person named Prince Rui, and she has never been hurt by such a scheme.

Shen Li was silent for a while, and she took a step forward and asked the girl, "You guys are not very good, but you dare to blatantly set up stalls to harm others. It's really a bit presumptuous, so you're not afraid that the land of the mountain gods will ask you about your sins?"

The girl tremblingly hugged the neck of the python on her lap, and replied in a low voice, "The land of the mountain god here has long been captured."

Hearing this, Shen Li and Xingzhi looked at each other, and Shen Li asked, "When were you taken away, and have you seen where you were taken?" When she asked the question, her expression became slightly stern, and the girl was even more frightened. Too bad, a pink | tender lips trembled for a long time without uttering a word.

"I didn't beat you..." Shen Li sighed, a little disappointed. Xingzhi smirked beside him.

When Shen Li was helpless, the blue python lying on the girl's leg moved its head, and said in a slightly hoarse voice: "Da Xian spare your life." It struggled to hold up its head, and Shen Li only shook her twice before making her so unbearable. , knowing the difference in strength in his heart, Qing Python was even more respectful: "Our mother and daughter didn't want to do this kind of harmful business, but they were forced by reality and had no choice but to do such a thing. But after these few days In the middle of the month, we definitely didn't kill anyone! We just took the money and let them go, and we have never harmed a single person! I hope the immortals will take care of their lives."

"When did you set up a stall here?" Shen Li asked after changing the question, "Why were you forced to do such a thing?"

Talking about this, the blue python sighed: "It is also because the land of the mountain gods keeps disappearing. We originally lived in the mountains and forests 30 miles away from Yangzhou City. The father of this child is a mortal. Previously, we relied on his father. The food I grew myself and the game I brought back from the mountain can barely survive. But three months ago, the mountain where we lived did not know what happened. The blue python seemed to have lingering fears. She sighed and said, "The land and mountain gods are not there. Later, I heard from other monsters on the mountain that they were taken away by some guys called Fushengmen."

Another floating gate. Shen Li frowned, it seemed that they not only caught people around the capital. Where did a small cultivator sect that has risen in recent years come from the ability to capture so many immortals. And there is still that kind of demonic energy. At this time, even Shen Li began to wonder if there was someone in the demon world who was scheming.

"So I had to take this child to hide here. I don't think there are so few things to eat in this mountain. In desperation, we came up with this last resort, robbing passers-by's money and food to make a living."

"Where's your husband?" Xingzhi asked softly, but it wasn't about the Floating Life Sect. "If he doesn't come, how does a mortal live?"

"He..." Qing Python hesitated and said honestly, "Before he married me, he was a Taoist priest. Although he usually lived with me, he never let go of the responsibility of eliminating demons and defending the Tao. , he took his disciples to the city of Yangzhou long before our mother and daughter ran out. He said that the miasma was so severe that the city would definitely be affected... "

Shen Li was stunned when she heard the words, this snake demon, and the mortals have children together, and that man is actually a Taoist priest? Shemales have different paths, and coupled with the constraints of their identity, it must be extremely difficult for the two to be together. Shen Li suddenly admired this blue python.

At the moment when Shen Li was silent, Xingzhi suddenly decided: "If that's the case, let's go to Yangzhou now." He smiled lightly, "I'll cook this meal for you another day." Shen Li was stunned for a moment, then turned her head and coughed unnaturally.

"Da... Daxian!" The girl suddenly said, "Can you take me to Yangzhou? I miss Daddy and Brother Jing Yan very much." Her cheeks were slightly red, whether she was anxious or shy.

If there is miasma in the city, it will have a great impact on this little demon. Xingzhi was about to refuse, but Shen Li responded: "Let's go." She looked back at Xingzhi, "Give her a talisman to avoid miasma. The paper will do." The tone was decisive, with no negotiating tone at all. She didn't want to go on alone with her behavior anymore.

Xing Zhi looked at Shen Li for a moment, then smiled, walked up to the girl, wrote a word on her forehead, and said, "If you feel uncomfortable when you enter the city, remember to tell me."

The girl nodded gratefully. Then her figure changed, turned into a small green snake, and got into Shen Li's sleeve. She exposed her head to look at Shen Li, and Shen Li smiled: "Let's go."

When he arrived in Yangzhou, it was already sunset, but there was no beautiful shadow of the sunset. The sky above the city was shrouded in a dark miasma. If you didn't look carefully, Shen Li thought she was somewhere in the devil world. According to Qing Snake Jingxi, not one of the Earth Immortals left in Yangzhou City was captured, and the surrounding mountains and forests overflowed with miasma.

Shen Li frowned: "The people of the Demon Race have a certain adaptability to miasma, but a mortal body can't stand such a miasma."

As she said, there was a disease in the city. All young and old are sick, and occasionally a few healthy people can walk a few steps on the street, but this legendary prosperous and prosperous Jiangnan has become like a dead city.

The little snake trembled in Shen Li's sleeve, and Shen Li touched her soothingly: "Your family will be found."
