In the southeast of Jingzhou, there is a small country called Suguo.

As its name suggests, Millet is a thoroughly agrarian country, with a fertile valley plain in the middle of the basin and a natural spiritual field.

The cultivated spiritual rice, herbs and other materials are rich in yield, high quality and low price, and have always been loved by major sects and families.

Su country also relies on the export of spiritual rice, so as to gain a foothold, is one of the very few small countries in Jingzhou that can retain a certain degree of sovereignty, Su country does not have an army, and actively trades with the immortal cultivation world, which has been recognized by many parties, so in a way, Su country is more like a large farm than a country.

But in recent years, the climate has become more and more bizarre.

Every summer, it comes earlier and earlier, and the weather gets hotter and hotter, and at the end, it even shows the extreme situation of hot weather all year round.

Severe droughts continued for years, crop yields were reduced, even spiritual rice could not grow, and a large-scale famine broke out.

There is a legend that there was a demon rebellion in Su Country, but because of the lack of military strength, Su Country was helpless to do anything about it, so he could only ask for help from the major sects and families.

The nearest Yunyang Sect, there are also some family gates, in order to continue to steadily purchase Lingmi, they also attach great importance to it, and send their disciples to investigate, but in the end they did not find any abnormalities, and finally it came down to the eruption of the volcano under the Su country, geological changes, so the climate here is abnormal, which is beyond the reach of manpower.

In the end, the investigation was closed.

The drought in the country is also getting worse.

Su Chen traveled with the Kunluo Imperial Sword, and when he came to Suguo, he saw a barren land along the way, the grass and trees were scorched and withered, the earth was cracked, the river was dried up and broken, and everything he saw was a scene of apocalypse.

Dry bones and corpses can be found everywhere on the roadside.

The only few mortals, all with sallow faces and thin bodies, supported each other and walked towards the border of Su Country step by step.

The perennial drought has left them with no harvest, and in order to survive, people have to leave their homeland and raise their homeland.

"The drought in this corn country is even worse than expected. If it is only geological changes that affect the climate, volcanic eruptions, etc., it will only be a certain area, and the scope is not so large. This shows that there are demons making trouble, and since the people of Yunyang Sect have investigated, it is impossible not to find it, but for some reason, they did not interfere. Could it be that the battle on the side of the Dali Dynasty has restrained too much energy, so I don't want to ask about the life or death of Su Kingdom? ”

Su Chen shook his head.

He didn't come here to save the world.

According to the secret story on the animal skin scroll left by Liang Pu, the place where the heat wave first came was a volcano in the territory of Su Country, where there were traces of demonic qi brewing, and it was likely that some kind of demon beast was cultivating with the help of some fire-based strange thing.

If you can get it, you can get fire-based materials, which can be used to strengthen and nourish the Jianggong Heart Mansion.

Of course.

It is estimated that the demons that can affect such a wide range of strange things are not ordinary.

If it was easy to deal with, the Yunyang Sect would have already done it, and the reason why he stood by and watched was probably for another reason.

Su Chen would not rush over to subdue the demons and eliminate the demons.

"It's better to go over and see the situation first, if you are sure that it is not too late to make a move, but if the demon strength is too strong and the risk is too high, then you can only give up and find a way to find a suitable knot material again."

While thinking about it, Su Chen's figure flickered and turned into sword light.

To the south of the Awa country, there is a place called Red Rock Mountain.

It is rumored that the Red Rock Mountain is the place where the first heat broke out, and through divine perception, it is the source of all heat waves.

This Red Stone Mountain was originally just one of the few mountains in the Su Kingdom.

It is named because of the peculiar rocks on the mountain, which have a dark red color.

Su Chen flew all the way south, the closer he got, the more he felt the climate was even hotter, the villages and towns along the way had withered, only a very small number of people were still surviving, and the capable young people had already left this hot land through various means, leaving only some old, weak, sick and disabled, stunned in the barren and lonely fields, or like walking corpses, wandering in the barren mountains and wilderness, hoping to find a little food and water......

"Natural and man-made disasters are catastrophes that mortals must experience. Hey, although I have compassion and compassion, I don't have the power to help them. ”

Su Chen shook his head.

Over the years, he has experienced so much and seen even more tragic situations.

In the face of such a large-scale natural disaster, there is very little one person can do, after all, he is only a foundation building monk now, and he does not have the ability to call for wind and rain.

If there is a way to solve the source of demonic energy on the Red Rock Mountain, maybe we can find a way for these people to live.

"Hey, there seems to be a figure flickering in front of me, and the refugees around me are all converging over there......"

Su Chen suddenly noticed that in the village in front of him, there was a faint spiritual light flickering.

It seems that someone is casting a spell.

Many of the surrounding refugees from the country converged in that direction.

"Quick, the fairy took action to get the heavenly divine water for us, and we can live......"

"Hurry up, kid, hold on, there will be water to drink soon, you won't die, you won't die......"

Countless refugees staggered and helped them to the entrance of the village.

I saw a woman in blue, sitting cross-legged on a dry well, the water waves around her body, the aura of light was overflowing, and she was holding a huge jade bead in her hand......

Next to him, two female disciples of the Qi Refining Realm were accompanying them, scooping out the spring water from the well with a water scoop, and distributing it to the refugees who came to hear the wind in an orderly manner.

A bowl of water will not solve their problem.

But it is enough for these people to live for the time being, and to see a little hope of survival.

"Thank you, fairy! Fairy Mercy ......"

"Living Bodhisattva, Living Bodhisattva, fairy, please accept the little old man!"

"Baby, kowtow to the fairy, this is the grace of life......"

The people who got the water were all grateful, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed to the woman in blue.

Seeing this, the two female disciples next to them both had a proud look on their faces, obviously very useful to these mortals, while the woman in blue looked calm and did not make any response, but just urged the mana with all her might, and tried to transform as much well water as possible through the jade beads in her hand, because there were more refugees outside who were rushing here.

"That jade bead seems to be a superb magic weapon, it can actually be transformed into pure water through mana, it should also have something to do with this woman's cultivation."

Su Chen looked into the air.

To be honest, seeing the woman in blue not hesitate to spend mana to transform the well water to save people, he couldn't help but think of Hu Biluo when he was in Nanban.

At that time, she was a fledgling and didn't know the dangers of the world, but she was also so sincere.

But the difference is that the woman in blue in front of her is obviously more deeply cultivated, and she has reached the strength of the middle stage of foundation building.

It's just that.

Compared with the refugees in this land of hundreds of miles, her mana is also limited, and the well water refined can only be said to be a drop in the bucket.

However, the other party's kindness still made Su Chen quite admired.

After all, a person who can cultivate to the middle stage of foundation building is obviously not a rookie in cultivating immortals, and he has seen too much deception and can still maintain such a kind heart, which is indeed rare.

Even if such a move cannot fundamentally solve the drought in Suguo, it can be regarded as worthy of the heart if it can save one person.

As the woman cast the spell, the well gradually overflowed, and more and more refugees gathered.

At this time, the mana light on the woman in blue dimmed, and it seemed that she could no longer maintain it, so she had to restrain her magical powers.

And when she reined in her mana, the well water actually passed at a speed visible to the naked eye, because the surrounding strata had long since dried up, the grass and trees had withered, and the water could not be locked, even if the well was full, it would be sucked away by the surrounding soil in half an hour at most, so that the refugees who did not arrive in the future might not even be able to drink a sip of water.

The woman in blue watched the well water pass away, but there was nothing she could do.

There's only so much she can do.

"No, this is all life-saving water......"

"Quick, let's pack more."

"God, can't you have pity on us? Finally, a fairy helped us get water, so don't just dry up and dry up......"

The refugees wept as they watched the water draining from the well.

And at this very time.

Suddenly, a mana light fell from the sky, and the rich vitality power diffused.

The crowd shouted and stepped back.

Then I saw a magical scene:

I saw that around the ancient well, the grass and trees that had already withered and yellowed, under the nourishment of this mana, were actually rejuvenated, and the grass roots buried in the soil layer were revived, and the grass seeds sprouted, and soon turned into a tender temple and broke out of the soil, which was lush and green in an instant.

At the same time, the earth qi in the bottom layer converged, forming a blockade, sealing the bottom of the well.

In this way, the water in the well is locked and does not flow outward.

Although the water in a well is limited, it does not guarantee that everyone will survive, but if you can save a point, you may be able to keep one more person alive.

"Miracles, miracles!"

"Is this a manifestation of God?"

"No, it's the immortal master, another immortal master has made a move, look at ......"

Some refugees excitedly pointed to the top of their heads, and everyone raised their eyes one after another, only to see that in the clouds, the huge Peng bird spread its wings, and its golden feathers looked extraordinary, and on the back of the bird, a young monk sat cross-legged, and the dark blue robe on his body flew in the wind, looking solemn and dignified.

This young Taoist priest is naturally Su Chen in disguise.

At this time, he sat on top of Peng Bird, full of fairy spirit, full of rhyme, at first glance he was the demeanor of a person in the righteous immortal gate, which attracted another wave of worship from the refugees below.

Su Chen waved his hand and said, "What the poor Dao has done is nothing more than a small one, you want to thank you, or thank this female monk, it was she who did not hesitate to consume mana to get water for you." ”

The crowd bowed and thanked again.

The woman in blue just shook her head, and the two female disciples who accompanied her hurriedly stepped forward and stood beside her, vigilant and vigilant.

After all, she had just exerted her magical powers, and her mana had weakened at this time, and the other party didn't know what the origin was, if it was an enemy, it would be troublesome.

"Daoyou don't need to be nervous, the poor Dao Suchen is a wandering party to cultivate, passing through here, seeing Daoyou rescue the people, I admire it in my heart, so Tang highlights the help."

Su Chen sat on Kunluo's body, arching his hands from a distance, keeping a relatively safe distance, so as to avoid causing the other party's excesses, and at the same time to ensure his own safety.

Fortunately, the woman in blue is not an unreasonable person.

After listening to his words, his face softened a lot.

After all, Su Chen did help these refugees, and he didn't attack her.

So he nodded and said, "It turned out to be Su Chen's fellow Daoyou." In the water and smoke, Nai Peng came to the disciple of the Immortal Sect and met Taoist friends. ”

People from Penglai Immortal Sect?

No wonder.

The homeland of the Penglai Immortal Sect is standing on the East China Sea and is good at water system exercises.

Su Chen was stunned, and hurriedly arched his hand and said: "It turned out to be Penglai's tall feet, disrespectful and disrespectful." ”

The two informed each other of their identities, which can be regarded as acquaintances.

At this time, more and more refugees came to the village to drink water, and after seeing them, they kept kneeling and bowing and thanking, obviously this is not the place to speak, so Shui Yunyan waved his sleeves, and a green leaf-like magic weapon flew out, turned into a flat boat, and took her and two disciples into the air.

"Daoyou also came to exterminate demons because of Su Guo's bounty order, right?"

Shui Yunyan asked.

Su Chen didn't know what the reward order was, but he guessed that it might be related to the drought in this Su country, so he nodded.

"It just so happens that I'm here for this too, so why don't we go together."

With that, the two of them flew up to the sky together, heading in the direction of Red Rock Mountain.

On the way, Su Chen opened his mouth to inquire: "Fellow Daoist, I don't know what happened in this Su country, why is the drought so serious?" I'm ashamed to say that I've only heard that there is a bounty here, but I don't know much about the specific situation. If it's convenient, please also ask Taoist friends to solve your doubts. ”

When Shui Yunyan heard this, he glanced at him, but he was not suspicious, and then explained: "This is not a secret. The drought in Suguo has lasted for many years, and it is rumored that there may be demons who have caused trouble, and they have asked for help from all major sects. But after the people from the Yunyang Sect came, they said that they had not found anything abnormal, and then ignored them. In order to save themselves, the Su royal family took out the spirit stone resources accumulated over the years, and offered a reward to ask for scattered cultivators from all over the country to come to eliminate demons in order to save the people here......"

"I see."

Su Chen nodded, and then said with a smile: "Penglai Immortal Sect is far away from here, and Daoist friends have come here thousands of miles away, it shouldn't be just for the reward, right?" ”

"Demons make trouble, for the sake of disaster, my generation of cultivators, it is the duty to eliminate demons and defend the way, and it has nothing to do with rewards."

Shui Yunyan shook his head and said vigorously.

This made Su Chen a little impressed.

People who cultivate immortals pursue profits, for the sake of spirit stones, for the sake of cultivating immortal resources, they do everything they can, and most of them are unprofitable and can't afford to be early.

People like Shui Yunyan are indeed rare.
