They didn't expect that they would come by begging all the way through mountains and rivers, but they couldn't even enter the door of Kyoto, and the emperor was busy celebrating his birthday and didn't have time to take care of them.

In order to survive, in order to eat a bite of steamed buns, people began to look for a new way out, not to mention selling their sons and daughters, it is not uncommon to sell their own. There are more rangers and thieves on the rivers and lakes.

A large house in a remote location in the capital was attacked by three groups of thieves in one night, one group of snitches, one group of flower thieves, and one group of robbers. There is a curfew at night in the capital, and there are three gates at the city gates, and I don't know how these thieves entered the city, and how they transported the looted things out under the city defenses? If they did not leave the city, where would the thieves stay? These questions have become a mystery, and the person in charge of investigating the case reports to the official, and the official asks the official, and as soon as he comes and goes, the case becomes a headless case, and those people do not send money to the family and do not send a small official to take care of it.

Master and I have been living on the outskirts of the capital these days, eating and living with those refugees.

I asked Master why he didn't cast a spell to build a few houses for them, as long as they could shelter them from the wind and rain, and Master said that this was the world's own business, and how many poor people, how many rich people, and how many people died during this period were all recorded in the heavenly court and the underworld, and others could not interfere, especially those of us who were demonic and immortal. The difference we make in the world with the wave of our sleeves is huge.

So I asked, "Why are we staying here when we can't help?"

Master said, "The door of this troubled world has been opened, and when the world is in chaos, there will be people from other five realms who will take the opportunity to mingle. If you can't see it, you can temporarily close your cultivation and use the ability of ordinary people to help them. ”

"Didn't the Heavenly Realm send people down to guard the human world? The Heavenly Emperor wouldn't let the human world be invaded by other realms, right?"

Master said: "Naturally, there is, but the Heavenly Realm is also lacking in skills now, and there are constant external troubles, most of the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals have been sent to fight, and the Heavenly Realm's guard on the human world has been loosened a lot." ”

I sighed, "Alas, what an eventful time. ”

The master was happy and said, "Are you sad and sad?"

I said, "I think these refugees are pitiful, and I don't know how many people will be like them in the future, with no clothes and no food." ”

Master said: "There must be a cause for it, these people are pitiful in this life, maybe they are hateful in the previous life, maybe this life will be bitter and then sweet, anyway, it's their own business, we don't have to care."

Master is right, but his words are a little impersonal when he is matched by the refugees everywhere.

Cultivators are not close to human feelings, "love" is the obstacle of cultivation, people with sentient beings will not achieve their own avenue, the higher the cultivation of people, the more ruthless. ”

On this day, it began to rain in autumn, and the cold wind was caught in the rain, and the refugees found everything they could to shelter from the rain and keep warm, but the rain always wet their thin clothes by the force of the wind.

At these days, the gates of Kyoto were still under martial law, and they were only opened for half an hour at noon for merchants to enter and exit. Some refugees couldn't wait any longer, so they went to another city to make a living, and most of the refugees stayed, some of them didn't want to suffer from the journey anymore, and some of them dragged their families with them, and their families were old and sick, and they couldn't leave.

I took a broken clay bowl with boiling hot water and delivered it to a mother and daughter, who were both sick.

The wild vegetables and fruits within a radius of ten miles have been picked, and the edible medicinal herbs have also been dug up by the roots for belly wrapping, and there are not many banlan roots, so I went over the mountains and mountains to find two handfuls.

The rain was so heavy that it looked like it was going to rain for a few days in a row, and the last bit of warm air was washed away by the rain, and winter was coming, and there was nothing to eat when winter arrived.

"Look. Someone is whispering.

"Ahh

"I chased a squirrel, but I didn't catch it, but I found this in its hole, and you see, how big this hazelnut kernel is. ”

I turned my head sideways, and saw that it was two brothers, one big and one small, the clothes were quite complete, but it was a summer shirt, very thin, and my brother had a pair of shoes on his feet, the top was linen fabric, and the bottom was straw soles, and the straw soles were rough, and the linen cloth and the soles were connected with fine hay, obviously a pair of shoes were worn without soles, so I thought of this method.

I don't look away, I can't bear to look at it again, "When will this famine end?" I don't know how many times a day I have to ask in my heart.

After sending Banlan root water, I went to the master, who pretended to be a doctor in the refugees and prescribed prescriptions all day long, but unfortunately there was no medicine to take after prescribing the prescriptions.

"Master, it's too cold. I said.

"Hmm. The master hummed and explained a few words to the person who asked for the consultation, before he said to me, "It will be cold in a few days, and the sky will not freeze to death now." ”

"And what are these people going to do in a few days?

Master stood up, and he sat on a wooden pier all the time, "Some people will, some people don't. He wiped his hands with a towel and added, "Mortals always find a way to survive, it's their talent." ”

But there will still be people who die. I said, "I don't want to watch them die and not be able to do anything." ”

Master said, "You're already doing it." ”

"I want to save them. "I have to make it clear to Master that I don't have as high a level of cultivation as him, and I can't be ruthless. At this time, I only feel that what heaven and what cause and effect are all nonsense, I obviously have the ability to help them but don't help, is it in accordance with the will of heaven?

I feel like I'm an accomplice to the murderers.

Master washed the towel with the rain outside, and then turned his head to look at me, but did not speak. I waited quietly for him to get back to me.

He said that the towel was put on the shelf, held my face, and said seriously: "Qingteng, Master is wrong. "I didn't expect Master to say this as soon as he opened his mouth, and I don't know what he was wrong about.

"Master always wants to protect you from any harm, but in fact, this is what hurts you, isn't it?" Master asked, but he didn't want me to speak, and said, "No matter who you are, you have your own way to go." Master sighed and suddenly smiled again.

"Master isn't old, is he? Why do I suddenly feel like I've become an old man? Oh, I really shouldn't, I really shouldn't. The smile on his face disappeared when he said he shouldn't, and his brow furrowed, as if with some remorse.

I felt that Master was a little inexplicable, and his words did not match the preamble, which made me confused, and I didn't know what he meant.

Master then said, "Okay, Qingteng can do whatever he wants, and Master won't stop him." He let go of my face and said, "But if you want to help them, you can't use spells, just to be on the safe side, the teacher will seal your cultivation, and if you cultivate for a letter, you are a mortal, you ...... Are you afraid?"

"What are you afraid of?" I wondered.

"Without spells, it's hard to protect yourself when you're in danger. ”

"I don't mess with others, I just do my own thing and go my own way. ”

"A lot of things can be inconvenient, like you can only walk and can't drive the clouds, and your clothes have to be washed by hand when they are dirty. ”

"It's annoying, and I can too!" I said firmly.

"Oh well. Master touched his nose, obviously not believing that I would do this. "Do you still have the jade that Master gave you?"

"Keep it. "I pulled out the jade.

"If you are in danger, break the jade, and your mana will be restored. As he spoke, Master raised his hand and sealed my cultivation, and added another piece of his divine consciousness to the jade.

I sealed the cultivation, but I didn't know how to help the refugees, so I wandered around the refugee area for a long time, and I didn't think of any way.

I was a little irritable, and before I knew it, I was walking into the nearby mountains. This is the north, and most of the trees on the mountain are poplars and pines. This small mountain is mostly poplar trees, which grow straight and tall, and ordinary people need to use tools to climb the trees.

Although I have been sealed for cultivation and have no spells, but in the end, the hundred-year-old foundation is still there, regardless of the experience of martial arts, I can be among the second-rate masters of martial arts in the mortal world. I climbed up the tree with the trunk, intending to think about it in this pure place.

The rain is still falling, I am born to love water, let the raindrops hit the tree on the body of the rain is heavier than the rain in the sky, I nest in the branch of the tree like soaking in the bathtub, if someone scoops me up from here, it must be like fishing out the soup chicken with "half a bucket" of water.

There was a thunderclap in the sky, and it came so suddenly that it startled me, and it startled the people under the trees. Then I noticed a man under the tree, got up and looked down, and saw that it was the little brother I had seen before, his face was white from the rain, and he was sitting on the mud floor, his legs in a strange twisted position. Apparently because of a slippery fall on the ground.

"Hey, it's raining so hard, what are you doing here?" I asked him from the tree over the sound of the rain.

He looked up, a little surprised, he didn't expect anyone in this place, and he couldn't imagine why a woman like me would climb a tree in the middle of a rainstorm.

He stood up with his hands on the ground, looked up and asked, "Why is the girl in the tree? As soon as he opened his mouth, the rain fell into his mouth, and he had to stick out his tongue after saying a few words to push the rain out.

I climbed down with the trunk of the tree and asked, "What are you doing here?" Why don't you stay in a shed?" People who are in a good situation use broken mats to make a curtain, which is much better than other people's homes.

"We leaked the roof of the shed, so we picked up some branches and leaves and went back to make up for it. ”

The two brothers depend on each other, and the shed is also begging for help to build, this kind of situation people are too busy to take care of themselves, it is good to be able to build a small shed for them, and the quality of the shed is not to be picked. It rained for a day, and that little broken shed certainly couldn't stand it.

"Do twigs and leaves work?" I asked

The boy grinned, it turned out to be a young man with red lips and white teeth, and he said, "Yes, I can't find a good weather in this weather." ”

His skin is white and his forehead is wide, his eyes are clear, and the bridge of his nose is high. It's just that he was young and suffering, hungry and poor, so that he always inadvertently showed a bitter look on his young face, and he smiled like this, and the bitterness disappeared suddenly, which actually made people feel the joy of spring.
