10. Cut down trees and build sheds
The news brought by Lan Yue'er shocked the high-level of the Divine Shadow Sect.
As the temporary acting head, Chen Shu realized that this matter was very important and that it was no longer something he could decide, so he immediately handed over the news like an ethereal fairyland, asking his master Xuesong to personally deal with the problem.
Cedar didn't shirk this time.
First of all, he sent a message to the heads of the major human sects, as well as the demon cultivation groups of the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range, and bluntly said that the remnants of the Heavenly Demon Clan had not been completely wiped out, hoping that these sects would be freed from their cultivation state and begin to investigate the latest new forces in the Immortal Cultivation Realm or the Human World;
On the other hand, led by young disciples such as Chen Shu and Xue'er, they accompanied Lan Yue'er to the mortal realm to find out the clues of the disappearance of the people, hoping to find out the hidden forces behind the scenes.
After Cedar's order was issued, all sects and demon cultivator groups began to take action.
Because the Heavenly Demon Clan is the public enemy of the entire Flood Desolate Continent, therefore, after this incident, the two demon clans have put aside their suspicions of each other, and they are united to investigate all suspicious signs.
Lan Yue'er, Chen Shu, Huo Yu, and Xue'er and the others, on the day Cedar's order was given, went down the mountain to the human world.
According to Lan Yue'er's description, several people rushed to Zhaoguo, where the disaster first occurred.
Compared with the vassal countries around the Cloud Kingdom, the population of the Zhao Kingdom is relatively large.
The whole country, a total of more than 700,000 people.
The capital of the Zhao Kingdom alone has a population of more than 300,000.
However, it is such a country that, in just a few days, the population base has been drastically reduced by a daily figure of 100,000 people.
By the time Lan Yue'er and the others came to the capital of Zhao Kingdom, it was already five days later.
Along the way, passing through the towns under the jurisdiction of Zhaoguo, Chen Shu and the others became more and more puzzled in their hearts.
Whether in towns or villages, populations disappear suddenly and without warning!
When Chen Shuo first started, he also checked door to door, but he didn't find the slightest clue.
In the village, there is a half-burned firewood, a half-cooked dinner, and a rice bowl that has not had time to be brushed after eating.
All kinds of phenomena show that these people all disappeared at the same time period.
Those who have the ability to do this, it seems that apart from the remnants of the Heavenly Demon Clan, there is no other force that can do it.
Of course, it is not excluded that monks who practice evil arts will take action.
And now the question is, how to find out the forces behind the disappearance of people!
"How? Did you find anything? ”
At the entrance of the village, Lan Yue'er and the others, who looked at Chen Rate who came out a little dejected, hurriedly stepped forward and asked.
Chen Shu shook his head: "Nothing has been discovered." ”
When several people heard this, they couldn't help but sigh in unison.
Huoyu seemed to think of something: "Three, the remaining 200,000 people in Zhao Province are all crammed into the narrow Kyoto. If I were the one behind the scenes, I would definitely not let go of this fat in my hands. Why don't I rush to Akikuni Kyoto first and be the one who guards the plant? ”
Cher thought about it for a while and agreed.
There was no objection from the crowd, and they took off in the direction of Akikuni Kyoto.
Mortals need chariots and horses need to walk for more than ten days to reach the Zhaoguo Kyoto, but a few people only arrived in a moment's effort.
The capital of Zhaoguo was originally a city that could accommodate a population of tens of thousands.
But this time, a nationwide disappearance case broke out, and the surviving people of the entire country subconsciously came in the direction of the capital of Zhaoguo, begging for the protection of the supreme ruler of their country, the king of Zhaoguo.
A city that can only accommodate 30,000 to 50,000 people, hundreds of thousands of people poured in, and the small Kyoto was overcrowded for a while.
On the streets and alleys, you can see people resting against the walls everywhere.
Because they fled from their hometowns, most of these people were yellow and thin, and their clothes were in tatters.
Their eyes were blank as they watched the pedestrians shuttling back and forth on the street, but their eyes revealed a deep fear and fear.
Of course, these people who were able to enter the city and find a place to stop were treated much better than those who did not rely on outside the city.
After all, no matter how big Kyoto Castle is, it can't accommodate such a large number of people at once.
Those who are redundant can only surround the city, make some wild grass nests and grass shops nearby, and just rest.
Because the panic of missing people continues to spread, the eyes of these people are also panicked.
When Chen Shu and the others came to the outskirts of Kyoto Castle in Zhaoguo, they saw such a scene.
Although Lan Yue'er is now a cultivator, she used to be an ordinary person. is also the most unbearable to see the miserable appearance of the people.
After becoming a cultivator, he may have been influenced by his life-saving benefactor Bai Feifei, and he was also a disciple of the Xianyou Sect, which led to Lan Yue'er's behavior and behavior, faintly carrying the shadow of Bai Feifei.
During the experience, if she met poor people, she would help them if she could.
"Let's open a porridge shop!" Lan Yue'er said suddenly.
Xue'er was stunned when she heard this: "Sister Yue'er, aren't we here to catch the mastermind behind the scenes?" What is this porridge shop for? ”
Xue'er is the embodiment of the spirit crane of the ethereal fairyland, and she is not as deeply touched by the suffering of the people in the world as Lan Yue'er, so she asked very puzzled.
She didn't understand, but Chen Shu understood instantly.
"Senior Sister Yue, but you want to open a porridge shop to help these people?" Chen asked tentatively.
Lan Yue'er nodded.
Seeing that Chen Shu instantly understood what Lan Yue'er meant, Xue'er pursed her lips a little unnaturally.
For some reason, she found herself getting angry lately for no reason. Especially when I saw Chen Shu and Lan Yue'er answering me, this emotion exploded even more.
Maybe he and Lan Yue'er were born at odds, right?
Xue'er pondered in her heart for a long time before she came to such a conclusion.
However, she was not the only one who was uncomfortable in the field.
Huoyu on the other side, seeing that Chen Shu directly understood Lan Yue'er's meaning, couldn't help but glare at Chen Shu with hostility.
At this glance, Chen Rate was inexplicable.
What's going on these two days?
Xue'er is not mentally normal, why is it that even Huoyu's brain is starting to be abnormal?
However, Chen Shu didn't think much about it, but discussed with Xue'er with a smile about the specific matter of opening a porridge shop.
Huoyu glared at Chen Shu again with resentment.
He really doesn't have half of the experience of opening a porridge shop, so naturally he can't put forward any effective suggestions.
But just watching Chen Rate and Lan Yue'er get along "intimately" like this, the anger in his chest suddenly came up.
him!
He can't open a porridge shop, can't he help out?
Thinking like this, Huo Yu's movements were not slow at all, he stepped forward and squeezed Chen Shu's body away silently: "Senior Sister Blue Moon, what are the specific things to prepare for this porridge shop?" You see that I am idle, and I am idle, if you would assign me something to do. ”
Huo Yu came to Lan Yue'er with a shy face, three points of flattery and seven points of flattery.
Lan Yue'er glanced at Huo Yu, her eyes full of suspicion: "Are you sure you can help?" I remember that you don't even know what a sugar gourd is, and you obviously haven't experienced human suffering. I think it's better to leave this matter to Senior Brother Chen Shu. ”
Uh-
The fire rain was choked by Lan Yue'er, and her face was flushed.
Fortunately, in the next moment, Lan Yue'er changed her words: "However, if you insist on helping, it will be easy to do." Ten miles outside the city, there is a forest, you go and cut down more big trees and come back. ”
"Cutting down trees? Why cut down trees? Isn't it soup kitchen? "The fire rain is confused.
Lan Yue'er motioned for him to look at the victims around him: "Look at them, there is no cover on the top. It's better to say on a sunny day, but what if it rains? Do you want to see them just pouring in the rain? ”
The rain of fire suddenly dawned.
"Wait!" Seeing that the fire rain was about to take off and leave, Lan Yue'er hurriedly stopped, "Don't use spiritual power!" ”
"Why is that?" Huoyu was a little speechless.
Even, he had a feeling that Lan Yue'er was deliberately trying to trick himself, this was cutting down trees and not using spiritual power, could it be that he wanted to rely on his own pair of fleshy palms to cut down trees?
Although he is a cultivator and can cut down trees with his bare hands, he can't just spoil his own hands, right?
His hand, but he still has to keep it......
Belch!
Huoyu's eyes suddenly darkened.
Habitually thinking of something indescribable, he looked at Lan Yue'er's eyes, and couldn't help but feel a little weak.
"Have you forgotten what you said? This time, we're here to wait for the rabbit! If you rashly use your spiritual power, let the mastermind behind the scenes who is guarding in the shadows see it, and quietly retreat to another country to let it go, won't our plan be in vain? Lan Yue'er stared at Huoyu with some hatred.
The rain of fire was instantly realized.
Because of the unkind thoughts that passed through his mind just now, his gaze at Lan Yue'er was a little evasive: "What Senior Sister Lan Yue said is true. I'm going to cut down the tree! I promise that I won't use a single piece of spiritual power! ”
After hurriedly saying this, Huoyu suddenly fled and "flew" away.
Of course, because he couldn't use his spiritual power, his so-called "flying" was actually just an illusion caused by the afterimage that he left behind when he ran at the extreme speed on the ground.
After passing off the fire rain, Lan Yue'er was about to continue to discuss the porridge shop with Chen Shu, but this time it was Xue'er's turn to quit.
"Sister Yue'er, the matter of the porridge shop, you told me the same. Our girls' family is more delicate and thoughtful. Xue'er also quietly separated the distance between Chen Shu and Lan Yue'er, and inserted it horizontally.
Lan Yue'er didn't think much about it.
Seeing Xue'er coming up, she said very naturally, "Sister Xue'er said yes." It's true that we girls have to be more careful. In this way, Senior Brother Chen was responsible for collecting some firewood, and Sister Xue'er and I directly began to wash rice and make porridge. ”
Fortunately, Lan Yue'er, as a disciple of the Xianyou Sect, has food in the storage ring all year round. Since he grew up in the people, he knows very well that starvation is very uncomfortable.
Therefore, in addition to storing delicious food from all over the world, her storage ring also contains a series of items such as rice and white noodles.
Although Xue'er was very curious about the fact that there was rice in Lan Yue'er's storage ring, she didn't ask much about it.
Raw firewood, washing rice and making porridge, under the assignment of Lan Yue'er, Xue'er was also provoked to fight.
The two girls cooperate with each other tacitly, like an old partner.
Chen Shu saw that he couldn't help for a while, so he simply built a simple shed with the fire rain that came back from cutting down trees.
