On April day, a plague of unknown origin descended on the mortal world.

Diseases come very quickly, or from the water source, or from contact, and even the effort of the infected person to say a word may not be infected, and everyone is in danger for a while.

A sudden plague has taken the lives of many mortals, and it is spreading very quickly, but in half a month, two or three towns have been affected one after another, and there are no less than hundreds of deaths. Among them, the first place where the plague broke out was at the foot of Xiaoyaojian Mountain, a small county town only a hundred miles south of it, called Xigu County.

On this day, after meditating under the plane tree, Shao Fei returned to his room and conjured up a water mirror, and the picture presented in the water mirror was Xigu County.

In the past, I didn't know how to play in Xigu County, but now Xigu County is desolate everywhere, and corpses can be seen everywhere, and no one is spared, old and young, women and children. In the water mirror, a wisp of black mist seems to be faint, interspersed with the streets and alleys, among the people, but if you don't observe carefully, it can be easily ignored.

"The plague of the mortal world is like this. ”

A little warm breath on the back of his neck splashed on his skin, and he almost bounced off the stool. When he saw the appearance of the person in front of him clearly, Fang Luo breathed a sigh of relief, patted his chest and was still a little frightened: "I am scared to death if I don't make a sound when I walk." ”

"It's you yourself who are too focused to notice me, how can you blame me?" Cha Cha stuck out her tongue mischievously, sat on the stool behind Shao Huan, and leaned over to look at Xigu County in the water mirror, "Besides, this is a leisurely stream, what demons and monsters dare to make a mistake here?"

Having said that, Shao Xi was really frightened.

But that's all there is to it in the past. She also sat down next to Cha Cha, pointed to the water mirror and said, "There is a plague in the mortal world, and many people have died in just a few days, and they are about to become a hell in the mortal world." ”

Cha Cha nodded as if he had realized something, still looking at the picture in the water mirror intently, without saying a word.

I don't know the meaning of the words, I don't know if Cha Cha really didn't understand or deliberately pretended to be deaf and dumb, but Shao Huan didn't have the patience to guess: "The human world is under the jurisdiction of the Emperor of Heaven, and now there is a plague in the mortal world, and there are countless casualties, if it is allowed to develop and do nothing, I am afraid that it will not be long before this valley county will soon become a dead city." ”

When the ghast spirit was released, Qingping Town became a dead city overnight, and no one survived in the streets and alleys. Although the ghast was later captured and the dead mortals were brought back to life, it still makes people shudder and feel palpitations when they think about it now.

After hearing this, Cha Cha withdrew his gaze from the water mirror, and turned his head to look at Shao Huan fixedly: "When did you become such a bodhisattva?"

"W-What do you mean?"

Cha Cha held his cheek with one hand and said lightly: "Xiaoyaojian is majoring in Xiaoyaodao, and I don't want to ask about Hongchen." Both gods have the ability to penetrate the heavens and the earth, but I have never heard of them meddling in mortal affairs except for the demon monsters who have done evil. You don't even care about the two gods, why do you care so much?"

This sounded like a kind of accusation of meddling in people's affairs, and Shao Huan couldn't help but blush, and was a little angry: "I, when have I been here, have I cared about it? I just can't bear to see that so many people have been killed by a plague." ”

Shao Huan lowered his head, twisted the silk silk around his waist with both hands, and was a little depressed.

Cha Cha smiled silently: "Natural disasters and man-made disasters have their own definite numbers, even the immortal family that has cultivated the positive fruit has a once-in-a-thousand calamity, not to mention mortals who have no power to restrain the chicken?"

The calamity encountered by a cultivator is a thunderbolt, once in a thousand years, and no one can escape it. Even if he cultivated to the gods, it was just an extension of time from the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation once every thousand years.

In Chacha's view, the plague and disease suffered by mortals are just the catastrophes they have experienced. In the past, everything will be fine, and there will be blessings in the future, and if you can't get over, it must be fate, but if you go to the underworld, you may be able to pray for the next life.

Since even cultivators will inevitably return to chaos one day, how can mortals be an exception?

"But you don't have to worry too much, before coming down, you passed through the Lingxiao Palace, and the emperor father had already sent someone to the lower realm to investigate. Cha Cha didn't care, picked up a grape in the fruit bowl on the table, put it to his mouth and chewed it, "If it's a mortal catastrophe, then they deserve it, don't pay attention to it." ”

"Then what if it wasn't the calamity it should have?" Shao Huan suddenly wondered.

Cha Cha opened his mouth to bite the grapes, but he paused when he heard this. She turned her head slowly, and almost wanted to roll her eyes when she looked at Shao Huan.

Seeing her gaze, Shao Huan looked down at herself, full of confusion.

Swallowing the remaining half of the grapes in one gulp, Cha Cha bit it and slugged: "If it's not the calamity it should be, then there must be a demon doing it." That way, you don't have to worry about it. ”

"Why?"

Holding back the urge to break down, Cha Cha continued to roll her eyes: "Why?

Shao Huan thought about it, and then shook his head blankly.

Cha Cha was extremely helpless: "If there are really demons doing it, do you think the emperor will sit idly by? Definitely not! When the time comes, the emperor will send the Yisheng True Monarch to the lower realm to collect the demons, and then cast a spell to relieve the plague that harms people.

"But even then, the dead won't come back to life. Shao Huan frowned slightly, but did not show his face because of these words.

In the past, the Emperor of the Underworld was willing to bring the dead mortals back to life, but the ultimate reason was because the source of everything was caused by the breaking of the Evil Spirit Abyss Barrier and the evil spirits taking the opportunity to flee to the mortal world to cause chaos, but the root cause was still in the Underworld and the Emperor of the Underworld.

The current plague in Xigu County has nothing to do with the Emperor of the Underworld, and she does not think that this time the Emperor of the Underworld will once again be kind enough to let the mortals who died of illness regain the preferential treatment of bringing the dead back to life.

Cha Cha opened his mouth to refute, but after thinking about it carefully, this statement was not unreasonable, so he no longer argued.

The two were silent for a while, and Cha Cha was silent, as if they were also thinking deeply about this issue.

Shao Huan suddenly changed his words and turned to another question: "By the way, what are you doing here today?"

Just now he was only talking about the plague in the mortal world, but Cha Cha forgot about the serious matter, so he said: "Didn't you suddenly faint in the Linyuan Pavilion before, and then there has been no news." I was worried about you, so I secretly came down to see you while my emperor was busy with mortal affairs. However, seeing that you are in good spirits, then I am relieved. ”

"Oh. Shao Huan didn't think deeply, and already believed, "I'm fine." Originally, I also wanted to give you peace, but recently I was supervised by Qi Wu to practice spells, and I couldn't rest for a moment, so I was negligent. ”

Cha Cha nodded as if he had realized, and asked again: "That Qiwu Shangshen can be in the free stream now?"

"Are you looking for him?"

Cha Cha nodded hurriedly: "I have something to ask." ”

"Oh. He's in. Go out of this door, go through the corridor, and you will arrive at the second room. Shao Huan Jian Jian pointed out Qi Wu's room, and then waved his hand to give it away, "I won't go with you, and I will have to be caught reciting the magic trick again." You go quickly, and drag him for a while by the way, I want to squint a little longer. ”

Before the words fell, she was already lying on the table with her arms folded, her head resting on her arms, and her eyes closed.

Cha Cha expressed her understanding, patted her shoulder with great sympathy, and went out happily in an instant, and went straight to Qiwu.

This trip to Xiaoyaojian, in addition to Cha Cha really came to visit Shao Huan, he really had a question to ask Qiwu. It's just that the two gods of Xiaoyaojian are not very close to people, and she is also a little worried that Qi Wu will ignore her, which is really embarrassing.

With Shao Huan's narration, Cha Cha easily found Qi Wu's room. She stood outside the door and hesitated for a long time, her hanging hand rising and falling, and rising and falling.

"The god of Qiwu is easier to talk than the god of non-words, if I lower my posture and sincerely ask for advice, he should not refuse. Cha Cha lingered at the door and didn't dare to trespass, trying to convince himself in his heart, "After all, don't stretch out your hand and don't hit the smiling person!

After some entanglement, Cha Cha tried to convince herself, and it took a long time before she decided to come forward and knock on the door. She took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled, reached out, and knocked on the door.

There was a knock on the door, but there was no response from inside the house. Cha Cha was suspicious, and called inside: "Qiwu Shangshen, I am Chacha, I have a question I want to ask, are you there?"

There was no sound coming from the room, and it was quiet.

Cha Cha frowned, and was about to knock again when he took a step forward, but then found that the door was just a cover-up.

"If you don't object, then I'll come in?

Cha Cha looked around to make sure that there was indeed no one around, so he carefully pushed open the door and stepped in.

The overall decoration of the bamboo house pavilion is almost the same, but compared with the less play, the room of the perched Wu is more plain and quiet.

Cha Cha tiptoed inside, looking at the entire room with his eyes, making sure that there was no shadow of Qiwu. Thinking that this is someone's territory after all, it is a big mistake to trespass without permission, and if it is caught by Qiwu who came back suddenly, it will be really bad.

Thinking like this, Cha Cha had to turn back.

At this moment, a fresh breeze blew outside the window, blowing off a few pages of paper on the bamboo table in front of the window, fluttering and falling, one of which happened to fall at the foot of Cha Cha.

After hesitating, Cha Cha still picked up the paper and returned to the bamboo case, and picked up the rest of the papers scattered on the ground one by one, and then put them in one place and placed them neatly. Do these well, Cha Cha does not dare to stay, even if he wants to leave.

"What is this?" Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a bamboo roll pressed under a stack of books on the desk, and Cha Cha was curious and took out the bamboo roll from under the stack of books.

The bamboo scroll is some years old, but it should be better preserved, and the handwriting on it is legible.

I thought that what was recorded above was some kind of exercise secrets, or some ancient secrets, Cha Cha is not a person who likes to peep into other people's privacy, and he has to put it down after a glance. But when I saw the first few words, I suddenly had doubts.

Now that she has seen and seen, she can't erase the fact that she has been here before. Cha Cha hesitated for a moment, and simply read it carefully, but at this glance, his face suddenly changed greatly.

"What are you doing?"

A serious voice suddenly sounded in the room, Cha Cha was startled, his wrist was loosened, and the bamboo roll in his hand fell to the ground without accident.

Qiwu never likes outsiders to trespass, and when he saw Cha Cha appear in his room, he was already very angry, and when he looked down at the bamboo book on the ground, he couldn't hide his anger.

Cha Cha was shocked, reacted in an instant, and hurriedly leaned over to pick up the bamboo book that fell to the ground.

A blue light flashed, and Cha Cha's hand had not yet touched the bamboo book, but the bamboo book had already flown straight into Qi Wu's hand. Qi Wu couldn't hide the anger of the thunder, and scolded in a deep voice: "Who let you in?"

Cha Cha knew that he was at a loss, and he didn't dare to argue for a while. But when I thought of the content on the bamboo book, I scrutinized it again, and suddenly looked at him in shock: "It turns out, it turns out that everything is you, and you are the one who made ......."

Before the words came out, I saw that Qi Wu's stealth had disappeared. Cha Cha's words about to come out of her mouth stopped abruptly, as if she noticed something, she suddenly turned around, and saw that Qi Wu's face was only a stone's throw away from her......
