Chapter 13: The Plague
Zhao Zi'an's monk's robe was stained with blood, his face was calm, and the blood stains around him seemed to have nothing to do with him.
Seeing Xia Bing arrive, he said lightly: "The demon has been punished, and the rest will be handed over to you." ”
Although a large number of mortals were killed by him, they all showed hostility towards him, and at most killed dozens of them, and he was still a little merciful to people.
Under the cellar, there are still hundreds of breaths coming out, and it should be the rest of the ordinary people who were imprisoned by the demon king.
Xia Bing nodded stupidly, and under the leadership of the rest of the people, he came to the cellar.
Seeing that a stranger had arrived, and that there were no hideous monsters following them, the people in the cellar were surprised at first, but they quickly reacted.
Looking at Xia Bing, who was in the dust, some people couldn't believe it: "My lord, the demon king ......"
"Dead. ”
Xia Bing responded hastily, and then anxiously looked for it in the cellar, but he still didn't see the kind back in his heart.
"Have you ever seen a demon slayer? about fifty or sixty years old, tall and thin, with two beards. ”
She asked around.
The Taoist priest in the cage couldn't bear it, and said gloomily: "Little girl, don't ask. All the cultivators are here. ”
He glanced at the yellow-skinned companions around him, and laughed at himself: "When I came, there were more than a dozen people in this cage, and they were able to survive until now......"
The Taoist priest did not continue.
In addition to him, there were six people left in the cage.
Among them, there are monks, warlocks, and martial artists, but there is no demon slayer in Xia Bing's mouth.
Xia Bing's expression froze, she took out the jade tube, and said in disbelief: "Impossible, some time ago, my grandfather passed the news with me!"
The Taoist priest suddenly took out an identical jade cylinder from his arms, and said astringently: "I know who you are talking about, Lao Xia...... I couldn't stand it half a year ago. This jade cylinder was handed over to me by him, and he said that you are impulsive, in order to let you not come in and die, I sent you the following news. ”
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to the cage and handed out the jade plaque: "Now, the thing has returned to its original owner." ”
Xia Bing felt that his whole person was in a trance, not knowing whether to pick it up or not, the Taoist priest sighed and said, "Little girl, let's do it...... Haven't you been mentally prepared for a long time?"
Demons are rampant, without these cultivators, do you really expect the high gods and Buddhas to go to the lower realm to slay demons and eliminate demons?
Scold.
As long as there are a lot of their offerings, what does it have to do with them whether people are in charge or demons in the world?
In the city, Zhao Zi'an's gaze fell on the face of the Taoist priest through the building.
Mentally prepared for a long time?
He seemed to feel that he was even less interested in becoming a Buddha.
Shaking his head, Zhao Zi'an jumped up, without saying goodbye to Xia Bing.
Fate is born and fate is extinguished, and there is a time to gather and disperse.
After coming out for so long, it's time to go back to Hangzhou to have a look.
......
Before entering the boundary of Hangzhou, the sky became gloomy, and the continuous drizzle brought a bit of chill to the autumn.
In the city of Yangzhou, the flood became a disaster, flooding thousands of hectares of fertile land, I don't know how many people were washed away by the surging water, for a time, the whole city was full of mourning.
Zhao Zi'an raised his eyebrows slightly, but he saw two demonic qi circling on the mountainside not far away, and he flew to the top of the mountains, it turned out that the two green and white snakes were driving the mana to channel the water flow.
"Good, good, good. ”
Zhao Zi'an recited the Buddha's name, shook his head, and said calmly: "Natural disasters and calamities are necessary for mortals, but since I am here, it is also your fate." ”
Sitting cross-legged on his knees, he closed his eyes and picked up the trick, and in an instant the water broke apart and flowed out of the city.
"I cast a spell on the divine water today, and ride the carp ten miles to the lotus. ”
He raised his head and shouted, "Scatter!"
The dense clouds immediately dispersed.
The flood had subsided, the rain clouds had been dispersed, and the city had finally settled down.
However, the dead could not be brought back to life, and there were countless people who died in the flood, and their families clung to the corpses and wept.
"Alas. ”
Zhao Zi'an's lowered eyebrows and eyes were calm.
He has seen too many people whose homes are broken and people who have been displaced along the way.
His cultivation is high, but he is far from being able to calm the suffering of this whole time.
Even if natural disasters do not occur, there will be human disasters in the mortal world.
"Sister, his mana is so high. ”
Xiao Qingyao on the hill next to him pointed at Zhao Zi'an and said enviously: "I don't know how long I have to practice to be like him." ”
Bai Suzhen shook her head, "Impossible, his realm ...... I'm afraid it's not an ordinary person in Lingshan. ”
Zhao Zi'an got up and looked at Bai Suzhen, in his eyes, Bai Suzhen is now...... Cause and effect.
I'm afraid, I won't die well.
It seems that she still didn't listen to her words and chose to be with Xu Xian.
"Donor, you are so self-conscious. ”
Zhao Zi'an said lightly.
Cultivation can be said to be the most private thing in the world, what to cultivate, how to attain the Tao, only depends on oneself, even the Buddha, in this regard, at most a few words of advice, let alone him.
As an outsider, he persuaded what should be persuaded.
Don't listen, that's Bai Suzhen's own business.
The truth tells you, but you turn a deaf ear, and the Buddha has no choice.
No matter what, as long as Bai Suzhen keeps her heart and doesn't make a move on mortals, then Zhao Zi'an will not interfere with her decision.
The floods have subsided, but there is still much to be done.
In this era, people often don't pay much attention to the disposal of corpses, and there are too many people who died in Hangzhou this time, many corpses are lying on the side of the road, and a family of three is drowned in the flood, who can collect the corpses for them?
The plague began to spread gradually in Yangzhou City.
When Zhao Zi'an found out, the epidemic had begun to get a little out of control, even if Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing opened a pharmacy to treat patients day and night, it was only a drop in the bucket for the huge Yangzhou City.
A plague has caused many demons and monsters to emerge.
The real demons are curing diseases and saving people, while some people have begun to pretend to be gods and ghosts for personal gain.
"I knew that there was a plague here, so I stepped into the western sky to negotiate with the Jade Emperor, and he said that he wanted you to scrape together a thousand taels of silver for me, so that I could do things and solve disasters for you!"
A yellow-robed Taoist, with a large number of ignorant people behind him, said with emotion: "I am doing this Dharma against the sky, I am afraid that I need to cut my life span by several years, but in order to save the common people, I will not hesitate to do this!"
