The noon sun is high, the breeze blows the green, it is the spring of March, but the sun is already hot in early summer. The Sunset City guards braved the scorching sun and stopped a group of ragged refugees outside the city.

The southwest of Lebanon has been suffering from drought for several years, and this year it is still not improving. The state treasury allocated funds for relief, but corrupt officials were everywhere, and residents who had eaten up their food stocks had to beg in the north. A large number of refugees are pouring in, and the beggars in Sunset City are about to outnumber the local residents, and the □□ is continuous.

So the city lord of Sunset ordered to stop the refugees from continuing to enter and drive the refugees who were already in the city out of the city.

The refugees were sallow-faced, skinny as hemp stalks, and the scorching sun dried them up, and they couldn't stop swallowing saliva to moisten their hot throats. Hunger made it impossible for them to support their own weight, and every now and then another person fell.

People have become numb, this kind of thing is commonplace along the way, and those who fall will never get up again. From the beginning, he couldn't bear to leave his family behind, and later he discussed leaving the frail people behind to save that little bit of rations.

An old man trembled up to the guards and pleaded, "Ladies and gentlemen, you can do it, let us pass." We just want to beg for a drink and leave Luoyang City immediately, so that we won't cause trouble to the official. ”

"Go away, go away, no refugees are allowed to enter, if you want to go over, you go around Sunset City. The guard pushed the old man to the ground, looking very impatient.

The old man sitting on the ground did not continue to speak, but slowly stood up with a stick and walked beside several people who looked like people from home. It was no different from the refugees next to them, several of them were dressed in tatters and unkempt. Looking closely, several people were full of clarity and spirit, which was very different from the refugees who had been hungry for a long time and had dim eyes.

"Let's go. The young man in the middle of the group spoke, and took a little woman by the hand, and took the lead in taking a step, walking to the side. The old man and a middle-aged couple followed, looking like they were really planning to bypass Sunset City.

The few refugees next to him were a little shaken, thinking about whether to follow this family and continue northward around Sunset City. However, after a while, this idea was dispelled, with the area of Sunset City, it would take at least ten days and half a month to go around, and their rations were not enough to insist on making such a long detour. They need to replenish a □□ of strength and food in Sunset City before they can get to the next place to stay.

Besides, there are many wild beasts in the forest on the edge of Sunset City. At night, without the protection of moats and walls, they will die faster. Everyone shook their heads and sighed, as if they had foreseen the tragic fate of this family.

This family is none other than the Derpy family and Elder Zhu, who have become mortals. After they left Qingyun Mountain, they turned into mortals and moved to the central part with the flow of refugees.

The footsteps of mortals were too slow, and Qing Ran and the others had to follow this wave of refugees for several months before they could walk through four towns. The towns we visited were hit by drought, the number of refugees was increasing and decreasing, many of them were dying, and new refugees were joining in at any time.

Today, when I walked to this sunset city, I finally saw a town with good weather and rain, and the refugees no longer wanted to leave, and many of them wanted to settle down here. It's a pity that the number of refugees is too much, and as a result now, others won't let you enter the city at all.

The corners of Qing Ran's mouth were bitter, it was still 108,000 miles away from Shenzhou, and now they actually had to take a detour, what year and month would they be able to reach Shenzhou? But they didn't dare to act rashly, because a month ago, the demon clan had completely captured the cultivation realm of Qingniu Continent, and dense demon beasts poured into Qingniu, and countless monks fled to death.

The fall of the Qingniuzhou Cultivation Realm did not stop there, and it was not only Qing Ran who could think of it when he was hidden in the secular world, but other monks could naturally think of it. As a result, many monks hide in the world, and the demon clan will not get involved in the world, so that the demon clan will not investigate their actions to the end.

It's a pity that they are too naïve, and the demon clan doesn't know what stimulated them, as if they won't stop until they find out all the monks in Qingniu. The demon clan sent many demon beasts in the transformation period to search in the mortal world, and all the monks who found them were captured and rewarded. The fate of these monks was much the same, most of them were killed by the demon clan, and some became lackeys.

In general, the demon beasts in the transformation period are all equivalent to the cultivation of human primordial infant monks, and there are only two primordial infant monks in Qingniuzhou, and the outcome can be imagined after being discovered by the demon clan. Fortunately, no one could see through the spiritual secret cultivated by Qing Ran and the others, otherwise they would have died in Huangquan a long time ago.

The actions of the demon clan strengthened Qing Ran's idea, and the demon clan must be in cahoots with the wolf of the Heavenly Dao Sect. The demon clan is looking for an artifact for the Heavenly Dao Sect, and in exchange, the Heavenly Dao Sect may allow the demon clan to give up a part of the rich Helan Continent as a habitat after the matter is completed.

Qingran felt a little ridiculous, but it was true. They had to disguise themselves as real mortals, and they walked eastward step by step.

The group of refugees watched the stiff backs of Qingran's family getting smaller and smaller in their sight, and their hearts were full of desolation. Why is it so hard to beg for food? They may be doomed to die outside the walls.

Another couple walked out of the crowd, following in the footsteps of Qingran and the others, intending to slowly bypass Sunset City. The man is like Qingran holding Derpy, holding the woman's hand, gently hugging the woman's waist with one hand, and the posture is very loving, no different from a loving couple.

Everyone didn't see it, and the moment the man put his arms around the woman's waist, the woman raised her eyes and glanced at the man, her eyes were full of warning and cruelty. The man grimaced, and said softly: "You don't want to cause trouble, do you?" Although you and I have cultivated a lot higher than those shape-shifting demon beasts, but now this broken place is the world of the demon clan, and we will definitely not be able to get out of Qingniuzhou if we act in a high-profile manner." ”

"Zhou Luqi, you don't have to inch in, otherwise you ......" The woman didn't break away from the man's embrace, and let Zhou Luqi support her and slowly walked forward.

Zhou Luqi frowned bitterly, "Ji Ruyuan, why do you say that we carry it like this? I thought that I had a fork, but I didn't expect Feisheng to land in this place where birds don't, and they just happened to get together with the demon clan to hunt down human monks!"

"How do I know? I knew that the spirit world was so desolate and what immortals I cultivated, it was better to eat on the earth and wait for death. If it is planted in this place now, it will be a shame to the ancestors. The woman paused, and then said: "Anyway, it's already like this, let's go to the Shenzhou that others say first, as long as I get there, I can fly to Helan Continent, where there are many treasures in heaven and earth, and I am not at ease?"

"I'm just complaining casually, why do you say that this continent called Canglan is so polarized?" Zhou Luqi was puzzled.

Zhou Luqi and Ji Ruyuan flew up from a sphere called the earth. The aura on the earth is thin, everyone believes in science, and ninety percent of people don't know that there are monks. But the monk does exist, Zhou Luqi was just a thief in the early Song Dynasty, and then he followed a fortune-telling veteran to swagger and deceive, but he didn't expect the old Taoist to find in him the spiritual root that the old Taoist pursued all his life.

Lao Dao burst into tears and handed him an obscure exercise. Let him not break the inheritance, cultivate hard, and strive to ascend to the spiritual realm as soon as possible, and achieve a smooth path!

Zhou Luqi really thought that he was going to heaven from now on! Who would dare to bully him! What he wanted! However, the fact was that he lived like a mouse, hiding for hundreds of years. Watching the change of dynasties, today's China is developing rapidly, and in the end, the earth can't withstand the pressure of his gods, and he opens the channel of the other world with Ji Ruyuan and ascends to the spiritual world.

But after figuring out the situation in the spirit world, a group of grass and mud horses galloped through the bottom of Zhou Luqi's heart, this is the setting of the gods! The so-called spirit world is the same as the ancient Chinese Yimao? Except for the aura that is dozens of times more abundant than the earth, he has not seen any benefit. He has to be chased and killed by a group of strange-shaped monsters, this place is so scary, he wants to go back to Earth.

Complaining is complaining, he still resigned himself to his fate and slowly moved towards Shenzhou according to the plan. After cultivating Earth for so many years, if he didn't have some achievements in the end, he would not be willing to do it anyway.

But...... It's good to take advantage of Ji Ruyuan's advantage hahaha, this small hand and waist feel good. God knows that he is always lustful and has no lust, and he can only secretly rub to take advantage.

Although Zhou Luqi and Ji Ruyuan hid their cultivation to mortals, they were still monks in essence, unlike Derpy Pear and others who directly sealed something related to monks. So the foot is much faster than Derpy, and it doesn't take long for Derpy to get behind Derpy.

Zhou Luqi and the others failed to see that Derpy and the others were fellow monks. Derpy and the others were much lower than Zhou Luqi because of their cultivation, and they still couldn't see through the disguises of the two. I just feel that these two refugees are quite energetic, walking behind them, but catching up with them after a while, it seems that the couple has a lot of food.

You must know that they do not have any mana now, and their physique is no different from that of mortals, and the scorching sun and long journeys make them very unbearable. But they brought a lot of food, they were not hungry, and their spirits were much better than those of real refugees.

Zhou Luqi had already helped Ji Ruyuan to step forward for a while, thought about it and turned back. Said to Qingran: "This little brother, I see that although you have enough qi and blood, but this dragger, as well as the elderly, women and children, it is not easy to bypass this forest, how about we go together? ”

"That's fine. "There is no doubt about him, although he is not at all worried about the beasts in the forest, but it is not bad to have a few more refugees to confuse the public.

So Qingran and Zhou Luqi turned into two waves of people, and the seven of them went east together. After walking for nearly ten miles, night had fallen, and everyone had to stop, light a bonfire, and continue on their way after dawn tonight.

The spring cold and dew are heavy, and the cold wind at night is slightly biting, even if Qingran and the others are around the bonfire, they still can't avoid shivering. This made Li Luonan and they had to sigh at the fragility of mortals, although the cultivation realm was dangerous, but they preferred to be a monk.

A few people snuggled up to sleep, although Zhou Luqi was not afraid of the cold and did not need to sleep, but he still pretended, curled up, closed his eyes and slept.

slept until midnight, the bonfire went out, and Zhou Luqi and Ji Ruyuan opened their eyes at the same time. They felt a wild beast approaching, and this beast, Xiu Wei, was afraid that it was not under them.
