Half an hour later, the three of them, who had already walked around the town, returned to the entrance of the town again.

Looking at the bored horses grazing with their noses bowed, Li Shuhong asked, "What did you find?" ”

Bitterly shook his head.

Lin Jichen said: "Brother Shuhong, this town doesn't look like a person who has lived there, although everything is spotless, there is no trace of anyone living there. ”

In other words, there is no household waste at all, and there are no food and clothing left.

It's like a vacant and unused "film and television base".

"First of all, let me make sure, you all remember the seven of them who have Yunxia, right?"

He said bitterly: "Naturally, I remember that in the past few years, the master of the Cherished Flower Valley was handed over to the poor monk, and Yunxia was the newly elected speaker of the Cherished Flower Valley, and the poor monk had all the things in the past to be handled by her." The poor monks can be sure that they are real, not the imagination of the benefactor, and that there are indeed people in this town, and there are even hundreds of people living here. ”

Li Shuhong glared at him, "Why didn't you say it before?" ”

Bitterly laughed, "It's not convenient to talk about this kind of thing, besides, you didn't ask." ”

Li Shuhong was too lazy to be angry with him.

Now the question is...... These people did exist.

But how did they disappear?

It's normal for Li Shuhong and Painstaking not to feel it, after all, neither of them was born.

But Lin Jichen didn't notice it at all, she was an innate great master!

What's more, An Zhixiu didn't react either?

Although she still kept the True Yuan Heavenly Lock at the moment in order not to pierce the layer of window paper, she could easily break it herself.

And since "day and night" with Li Shuhong, she has recovered from her injuries very quickly, and she has already recovered her health at this moment.

In other words, she could break the True Yuan Heavenly Lock at any time and restore herself to the top five Spring and Autumn Sword Pavilion Pavilion Masters on the Heavenly List.

Although the perception may be a little worse, she shouldn't be unaware.

Unless......

Unless it's the power of the Void Realm that makes those people "disappear".

But why bother?

And for what purpose?

Just don't want to find them?

Could it be that what big secrets can this group of remnants hide?

Li Shuhong is now puzzled.

And this is when venting is needed.

"Waste."

He said this with a bitter curse.

Painstakingly felt inexplicable, "Huh? Is the donor talking about the poor monk? ”

"Nonsense, who else could it be?" Li Shuhong continued to scold, "After so many years, you haven't even figured out what the situation is in other people, what is not waste?" ”

The monk opened his mouth, he wanted to refute, but he felt that he could not find any reason to refute.

It's very helpless.

Lin Jichen interjected: "Brother Shuhong, do you want to enter the town again and search carefully?" I just saw you leave quickly when you passed by that temple, didn't you search carefully? ”

Li Shuhong's face suddenly became ugly.

That's right, just now in the Bodhisattva temple in the north of the town, he just simply turned around and slipped away.

There was nothing wrong with the temple, the ordinary stone Bodhisattvas and the stone statues of Dharma protectors on both sides, the ordinary ones did not have any offerings and offerings of incense.

Everything is normal except for the fact that no one has ever existed.

But Li Shuhong's instincts had been warning him, so he hurriedly turned around and slipped out when he found that there was nothing wrong.

Hearing Lin Jichen's words at this time, he felt uneasy again.

I looked up at the sky.

The sun was setting in the west, and the entire empty town was shrouded in a corrupt dusk by the afterglow of the setting sun.

After a moment of silence, Li Shuhong shook his head, "This place is not a place to stay for a long time, so let's rush to Lingshan Temple as soon as possible, maybe the abbot knows the secret here." ”

With that, he turned and fled to the carriage.

Now the place that makes him feel the most secure is actually the side of An Zhixiu, who he felt the most dangerous before.

Scratching his bald head painstakingly, "It's strange, did the poor monk talk to Master Li about Master's Dharma name?" ”

Lin Jichen glanced at him, "It's written on the heavenly list." ”

After that, he didn't bother anymore, and he got into the carriage as well.

Painstakingly glanced back at the town.

In the setting sun, the whole town seems to be dyed with a layer of blood.

"Amitabha Buddha ......"

Reciting a Buddha horn in a low voice, he jumped into the carriage behind Li Shuhong, and then drove towards Lingshan Temple with the rest of the carriages controlled by Lin Jichen Zhenyuan.

The town has once again returned to its long-lost silence.

I don't know how long it took, but a sigh rang out in the town.

The stone Bodhisattva in the Bodhisattva temple north of the town...... Slowly opened his eyes, and the direction he looked at was the direction in which Li Shuhong and the others left.

And sure enough...... Still alive......"

............

On the edge of the endless farmland, many farmers are still harvesting golden ears of wheat in full swing.

After seeing the painstaking thoughts, many people got up and folded their hands and saluted him, "Painstaking Master! Are you back? ”

At this time, I had to stop reciting the Buddha's name and humbly return the salute.

This place has reached the boundary of Lingshan Temple, and the sense of crisis in Li Shuhong's heart barely subsided after running all the way.

What the hell is that?

Forget it, it's better not to know some things that you shouldn't know.

Although Li Shuhong is a lot braver, it is better not to explore some unbearable things for the time being.

He turned his head to look at the painstaking efforts of the farmers, "Not bad, Master Painstaking ~~You are quite respected~~"

Painstaking face was filled with a clear smile from the heart that Li Shuhong had never seen before, and there seemed to be light in his eyes.

"These are all miserable people, either poor people with no clothes or displaced people who have fled the famine, and the poor monks are just providing them with a shelter from the wind and rain. They also need to grow their own fields in order to get food. ”

He said it simply, but Li Shuhong knew it was difficult.

You must know that the number of people who can be seen now is not less than a thousand, and almost all of them are young and strong, both men and women, not to mention the old people and children who may exist.

The "great hunger and cannibalism" mentioned in the history books was painstakingly withheld.

It's only partial, but he's doing a really good job.

Even Li Shuhong guessed how his farmland came from.

No wonder this monk is obviously the abbot of Lingshan Temple, the head of Buddhism, but he doesn't want to take on all kinds of work outside, what white things are red, excessive evil ghosts, taking orders, killing people, being bodyguards and other things, and he will die for money.

It turned out that it was all spent in these places.

"I have to say, you really deserve to be called a high-ranking monk." Li Shuhong sighed with emotion.

"It's all what a poor monk should do, and the poor monk was originally just for his own Dao heart."

Painstakingly but didn't care, "It's just that later the poor monks couldn't let go of these villagers, so they had to continue to do so." Although the poor monk can't protect the people of the world, he is within his ability...... The poor monk wants to be the best he can be. ”

After being silent for a long time, Li Shuhong smiled lightly, "Admire." ”

This sentence of "admiration" is said from the bottom of his heart.

At least he couldn't do that.

He can't do it, but that doesn't stop him from admiring those who can persevere.

He, Li, wouldn't laugh at people.

"Amitabha, this child has done a good job, and he can still stick to his heart after so many years, and he is worthy of being Lao Gao's apprentice."

The sudden sound of praise made Li Shuhong's face change slightly.

He turned around, only to see a thin short monk suddenly appear not far from his side.

This person is none other than Li Shuhong who has seen it in the script!
