After the two landed, the surrounding forest was still silent, only the miasma surrounding Jiang Lan's original hut kept surging.
Bai Qiuran looked at several places in the darkness, and then said to those places:
"Li, come out, it's us."
After a while, there was a rustling of the leaves in the darkness, and a group of people who still had panic and fear in their expressions walked out of the woods.
Bai Qiuran looked at his apprentice, his face was haggard, and the pain of losing his wife made him very depressed. In a sense, the current mental state of their master and apprentice was not very good.
Bai Qiuran carried Jiang Lan on his back and walked towards them. The other human races retreated in fear, but comforted them with a loud voice, saying:
"Don't worry, Master is a human being."
"It's good to see that you're all right."
Bai Qiuran patted him on the shoulder, then looked at the other human races beside him.
"Let them come first."
Bai Qiuran said, unfolded the picture on his hand, looked at the clansmen behind him, and nodded to them.
The group of people did not resist, Bai Qiuran took them back into the picture, and put them away together with Li Ye. Then he carried Jiang Lan on his back and set off for other settlements on the eastern land.
Killing all the gods near a settlement, and then incorporating all the survivors and the souls born into the picture, Bai Qiuran carried Jiang Lan back and forth until dawn.
Bai Qiuran didn't stop until it was confirmed that all the nearby settlements had been slaughtered and the gods had left the earth. He took Jiang Lan back to the settlement where they had been established, and took away the ghosts born there. , and then found a hidden valley, and with the help of Zhixian, set up a strong continuous formation, blocking the monitoring of heaven and earth.
After doing all this, he logged and hunted animals in the valley, built a hut, placed the weak Jiang Lan in it for the time being, and then released Li from the picture.
"Master."
Li now looked a little disappointed and decadent. He looked at Bai Qiuran and asked:
"You have something to do with me?"
"Um."
Bai Qiuran said to him:
"Come out for a walk with me."
Jiang Lan was already lying on the bed and fell asleep. After being deprived of her original divine power, even if she was rescued by Bai Qiuran's wood genus infuriating, her mental and physical strength would be no different from that of a mortal.
Bai Qiuran took a look and found that the girl on the bed was breathing smoothly, then closed the door and walked out with Li.
The two did not go far, they only wandered around the valley. Coincidentally, there was also a small stream in this valley. On the way, the stream converged into a small pool. Bai Qiuran and Li stood. On the edge of this water pool, looking at the sparkling waves on the water pool.
"It was a coincidence."
Looking at the water, Bai Qiuran smiled and said:
"Back then, you and I, master and apprentice, met at the edge of such a pool. Later, when I passed on your stuff, it was also through such a pool."
"Master's kindness is unforgettable."
Standing behind him, he bowed his head and replied.
"I heard what Laner said about what happened to you."
Bai Qiuran turned around, patted his named disciple on the shoulder, and asked:
"What are you going to do in the future?"
"Disciple... I don't know."
Li replied somewhat bewilderedly:
"According to the rules, the disciples should lead the remaining ethnic groups, continue to find a place to breed, and then offer sacrifices as much as possible to seek forgiveness from the gods."
"Then do you want to follow the rules?"
Bai Qiuran asked back.
"The disciple is not clear. The gods came over tonight and said that our human race made a big mistake and wanted to punish us."
Li said, clenching his fists.
"But the disciples looked at those gods and saw them kill and humiliate our clansmen. The disciples and disciples couldn't hold back their anger. Until they wanted to take action on the disciple's wife and let the disciple's wife die, The disciple can't help it anymore..."
He trembled and knelt down at Bai Qiuran.
"I'm sorry, Master, what you taught me is for our human race to protect ourselves under the hands of beasts, but the disciple couldn't help but use it to kill a god."
As Bai Qiuran's named disciple, he immediately knew Jiang Lan's identity as the God of Plague. He had also seen Bai Qiuran surrounded by a group of gods on weekdays.
Bai Qiuran's shadow blocked his vision. He thought Bai Qiuran would punish or even kill him, but Bai Qiuran raised his hand and placed it lightly on top of his head.
"well done!"
he praised.
Li raised his head in amazement and asked:
"However, Shizun, aren't you and your wife..."
"As I said, I am a human race."
Bai Qiuran stretched out his hand to pull him up, and at the same time asked with a smile:
"Don't you believe that Master respects me?"
"The disciple dare not."
Li replied.
"I know what you're thinking, you have to believe in yourself, haven't you killed a god with your own hands with what I taught you?"
Bai Qiuran sat down cross-legged on a stone.
"Back to the previous topic, what I taught you is really intended to make people protect themselves. But you know, that thing is not only for people to protect themselves from wild animals and difficult natural conditions, it is also Let you protect yourselves from the hands of the gods... protect yourselves from the hands of the gods."
He recalled the first-generation Tianyu senior who died in the Penglai abyss of Returning Ruins and angrily used his fingers to pick out "God killed me".
"You remember, from now on, our human race, not relying on the sky, not relying on gods, only rely on our own strength to survive in this world!"
Bai Qiuran said in a serious opposition:
"The gods don't treat us as life, and they wantonly knead and slaughter us. Then they are the enemies of our human race. In the face of the enemy, they must be eliminated and eliminated until they dare not do anything to us!"
"Disciple understands."
Li took a deep breath.
"But compared to the gods, the power of the disciples and the clansmen is too weak, like ants, they are not worth mentioning."
"It doesn't matter, I'll teach you!"
Bai Qiuran said seriously:
"From now on, I will accept you as my true disciple. Before I leave, I will teach you and your clan without reservation everything I know."
"Disciple thank you Master!"
Li bowed to Bai Qiuran.
"What are you thankful for? You are a teacher for one day and a father for a lifetime. If you don't dislike it, you can even use my surname. My surname is Bai, and you can also be called Bai Li in the future."
Bai Qiuran thought for a while, took out a piece of sapphire jade from the storage bag, cut a piece out, then raised his hand to pinch the fire mark, called out the fire, and refined a piece that was exactly the same as the later generations, engraved with a "standing" The jade pendant of the word.
"This thing is given to you. This is the rule of our teacher's sect. You will be my true disciple in the future."
Bai Qiuran handed the jade pendant engraved with the character "Li" to Li's hand, feeling some unreal feeling that connects everything.
He opposed:
"The word on it is [Li]. Like your name, it is my expectation and encouragement for you. Li, in the future, you will lead the human race to stand up and become a race that stands above the sky and is not under the gods!"
