This autumn coincides with a severe drought in Yuzhou.
Civilians who have no way to lead are trapped in the land all their lives, with no crops in the fields, they can only lead their families and drag their mouths, disregarding the law and leaving their hometowns. As long as they reach the county and state capital, the disaster relief of the imperial court can always make them barely survive.
The city was full of refugees, and there was a long queue in front of five or six cauldrons for cooking porridge.
The porridge in the pot is a bit thin, but there is no sand and stone, which can barely fill the stomach.
The gates are locked, and no one can enter or leave at will.
No doctor came out to diagnose and treat the refugees, but there was another large shed near the city gate. Barrels of pitch-black medicinal soup were transported out by carriage, and then a few impatient soldiers took large wooden spoons, scooped them up and poured them out to the refugees waiting in line.
"Senior brother, there is a magic cultivator there."
Chen He whispered and pulled down the gray bamboo hat covering his head.
Shi Feng cast a blind eye on Chen He.
"Can a demon cultivator become an official in the secular world?" Chen He looked at the demon cultivator who scolded the soldiers without blinking.
This man has a good-looking appearance, wearing a cape and armor, and there are many people behind him, just like an official who inspects the current situation of refugees.
Shi Feng smiled and said, "Don't be silly, only the demon cultivator goes to the imperial court to be an official."
The reincarnation of heaven, only the devil is not afraid of cause and effect.
In a nutshell, don't worry if you're in debt.
"What did I teach you yesterday?" Shi Feng asked.
Chen He was taken aback, recalled the contents of the jade ball, and said hesitantly: "Senior brother told me that since the catastrophic battle 8,000 years ago, the vitality of the cultivation world has been greatly damaged, and the immortals in the heavens cannot descend to the world, and there are no fairy legends in the world anymore. ."
"anything else?"
"Well, the Tribulation Transcendence period is the most special realm. Demon cultivators do not have the Tribulation Transcendence Period, because they are karmic and karmic, and the way of heaven cannot transcend them. Ordinary cultivators can go to heaven through thunder tribulation, but demon cultivators will never be able to break through the Mahayana period. When the thousand-year lifespan comes to an end, even a Mahayana cultivator will only have a dead end."
After Chen He finished speaking, he asked a little puzzled: "Senior brother, is there any exception?" Shi Feng shook his head.
"So, when Senior Brother ascends, the rumors that frame you as a demon cultivator will no longer be self-defeating!" Chen He said seriously.
Shi Feng was dumbfounded, this was not what he wanted his junior brother to understand.
This made him wonder how he had spent the first eleven years of fostering his younger brother, and he didn't say a word at that time.
Fortunately, Chen He quickly returned to the main topic. He asked worriedly, "The demons are all running to become officials, and they don't care about cause and effect. What if something goes wrong?"
"There will be many cultivators who want to gain the favor of Tiandao to kill them."
Chen He shook his head: "What is the Dao of Heaven, is it fair? These people who have no food, deserve nothing to eat? Why doesn't the Dao of Heaven kill Mo Xiu and let others do it?"
Shi Feng was stunned, and after a long while he lowered his head and said to his younger brother, "It controls cause and effect, but it is the most unfair thing in the world. In the past, cultivators didn't care about it, but as a result, they suffered a catastrophe and bad luck. to the other extreme."
"Brother..."
"What a pleasure it is to walk against the sky in life."
Shi Feng's eyes glowed with energy, like seeing the sun through clouds, and looking at the sky through fog.
Chen He took a step back subconsciously. He felt that Shi Feng's whole person had changed since he broke his mouth. It used to be a stream in Heiyuan Valley, with a cold breath, and even a gentle smile with an icy temperature, it felt very far away. Chen He once thought that a successful person should be like his senior brother.
Now there was a danger so sharp that even he was afraid.
"Senior brother, are you okay?" Chen He nervously pulled someone's sleeve.
"It's nothing, it's just a dream for more than 20 years, and I wake up once."
Shi Feng looked down at his wrist, where the rosary was wrapped around it and left in the Heiyuan Valley.
He once succumbed to the way of heaven and lived in seclusion in a deep valley, willing to exchange his own cultivation for the peace of the deceased. Twisting the bead string, causing and causing self-injury, Shi Feng didn't realize it until he saw the demon in the illusion.
If he wants to escape, he should give up his life and go to the underworld to accompany him in person.
If he intends to face it, he should rise through calamity, laugh at fate, do whatever he wants, and care about cause and effect!
Shi Feng was happy in his heart, and uncharacteristically joked with his younger brother: "I can really fly, but what about my younger brother?"
Chen He clenched his hands behind his back, and vowed to practice hard.
In order to prevent the senior brother from discovering his gaffe, Chen He immediately said: "But the Daxueshan Qiankunguan lineage, aren't they the national teachers of the previous dynasty, and they are not magic cultivators."
"Occasionally pretending to be a ghost in front of mortals is not an official."
Chen He had an idea: "So, the magic cultivator drove them away?"
Shi Feng paused, and looked at his junior brother with strange eyes: "Why do you say that?"
"It's very obvious, the national teacher! After pretending, the emperor will believe it. The magic cultivators have worked hard to become officials. If they embezzle and kill people, they will kill the cultivators. This is so embarrassing! These national teachers have to be driven away!" Chen He snorted, and he recorded a heavy record for the Daxue Mountain God Master in his black account records!
Peeping into the mysterious treasure of Beibei, he is not a good person!
According to the brother, the Beixuan faction and the Qiankunguan who were driven out of the Central Plains were on the Daxue Mountain. Maybe Liang Qianshan knew the senior brother very early, but the Beixuan faction was destroyed, and Shi Feng was right about Liang Qianshan. This guy must have done nothing good in the first place! The difference is just that. When the Beixuan faction needed help, Liang Qianshan stood by and did nothing!
Well, judging from the fact that Liang Qianshan saw that Shi Feng still had the cheek to catch up, it was most likely the former.
"What are you thinking about with your little head?" Shi Feng reluctantly reminded the younger brother who was wandering in the sky.
"Senior brother, I'm not too young, and I'll be able to do the crown salute in two years!"
"It's two years, nine months and four days."
Shi Feng casually added that when it came to his junior brother's birthday, he remembered it very clearly.
Using a trick to get into a carriage filled with empty medicine barrels, Shi Feng glanced at the magic cultivator inadvertently.
- The cultivation base is not as good as the junior brother, no wonder Chen He recognized his identity at a glance.
As the carriage swayed towards the city, Chen He looked back at the refugees huddled under the city wall: "They won't starve to death!"
"The subordinates of Venerable Huanjian have always been good officials."
"Venerable Huanjian?"
"Three hundred years ago, he assisted the new dynasty and drove the Qiankun Temple of Liangqianshan Shimen out of the Central Plains."
"Great job!" Chen He felt that it was necessary to find a chance to meet this Demon Venerable in the future.
Yuzhou Prefecture is much bigger than Yunzhou, with open streets and neat houses. No one was walking around in fancy clothes and no man with a dagger and a machete on his waist.
Although the refugees were stopped outside the city, those wealthy families managed to manage, but they were still able to enter the city.
Some tooth shops are standing near Xicheng, waiting for the wealthy households who are anxious to resettle to buy their houses. Needless to say, they are all small and dilapidated second-class houses, which are usually uninterested. Now the price has doubled.
"Senior brother, are we really not going back to Heiyuan Valley?"
"Beixuan Secret Treasure is too involved. For the tranquility of Motianya, we will wait outside for this commotion to pass, that's all."
In the realm of self-cultivation, it is unrealistic to hide away in the court, and one can only retreat and seek seclusion in the market place.
They were led by Yaxing to a small courtyard with two entrances in a dark and deep alley. Dust and fallen leaves were everywhere, the walls were empty, and there were only a few lame chairs in the whole room.
"Senior brother, is this our house? Make it smaller!"
Without the pear tree, even a pond could not be dug.
Chen He turned his head and saw that Shi Feng took out dozens of taels of silver without wrinkling his brows. He couldn't help but open his eyes wide, and when all the outsiders were gone, he blinked: "Senior brother, I have something I wanted to ask for a long time. ."
Shi Feng raised his head and saw that Chen He's face was about to have words hanging brightly. He couldn't help laughing: "Huh? Where did the money come from?"
"No no, I want to ask, brother, are you rich?"
Shi Feng took out the cobblestone, threw it at will, and immediately turned into people of various appearances when it landed.
This kind of puppet that was refined to go to the market town to buy food and clothing for junior and junior brothers is suitable for serving as a servant girl!
"Every cultivator who has lived for hundreds of years will not be too poor. Even the bowl you eat can sell for a good price after three hundred years."
Chen He was stunned.
"Then, brother, where is my bowl still in Heiyuan Valley?"
"Here I am, take it for you..."
After Shi Feng answered, he suddenly felt that he had lost his words, and slowly turned to look at Chen He.
"I even brought the bowl with me before I went out. It seems that Senior Brother already knew that Shi Zhonghuo was in Yunzhou City. He brought me out to solve this trouble?" Chen He was dejected. He had been looking forward to the second jade ball. Happy travel, it turned out to be wrong from the beginning.
Shi Feng said nothing, his mood was strange and complicated.
- He has lived for more than 300 years, and no one has ever uttered his words! For the first time, it fell on the younger brother.
"That day, the barrier of Heiyuan Valley was fluctuating, and the apprentice of the apprentice of Changmei Lao Dao came in just to talk about the fire in the stone?" Chen He was still listless. He had a kind of fire in the stone. for how it feels.
"If you let it go, it will burn Yunzhou and kill 100,000 people in vain."
"Who said this, Heluo faction?" Chen He muttered.
"The true fire of Samadhi is difficult to extinguish. The fire in the stone has already recognized you as the master. If it causes such a catastrophe, you cannot escape this cause and effect, and the way of heaven will force you to turn into a demon cultivator."
"Senior brother, you said just now that the cause and effect will go with him, life is happy, what happened to the demon cultivator?" Chen He, who knew that he was arguing, was about to bury his head on the ground.
Shi Feng patted Chen He's shoulder, and said casually, "If you become a demon cultivator, how will you be able to soar if Senior Brother can't wait for you?"
Chen He didn't say a word for a long time, and his face was a little red.
When Shi Feng saw this, his expression suddenly became a little subtle.
The scars left by the demons on him were too deep to be forgotten for a while, as if that scene had really happened.
When he thought that he had instructed Chen He to live without relatives or friends, and to live without love and love, Shi Feng's internal injuries that had not yet healed had a sign of recurrence.
Shi Feng frowned, didn't the inner demons completely disappear
