Hundreds of miles away, in Yuejing, where the army was besieging the city, the mountain of grain among the rich merchants suddenly disappeared out of thin air.

The rich were terrified, and all the food they had exploited disappeared out of thin air.

Separated by the inside and outside of the wall, Zhumen's wine and meat and dead bones on the roadside were finally all hungry.

Only a few rats flashed in the granary from time to time.

The parasite rat commanded a few mouse spirits and said, "The action is numb!" Hurry up! ”

"Squeak~"

"Yes!"

A few rat spirits, as well as the yellow-skinned spirits, were busy saying yes.

Now the rat is also the boss of the rat fairy who is in charge of more than a dozen rat essences, leading his children and grandchildren and his subordinates to walk in the homes of various wealthy families in Yuejing.

Without the protection of the Seven Gu Sect, there was only a group of mortals, and the rats naturally came and went freely.

In this world, even immortals can't create things out of thin air, those are true ancient gods can do it.

It is impossible for Bai Lan to appear in a mountain of grain with a wave of his hand, he can only carry it.

In ancient times, there were five ghost handling techniques, and now Bai Lan has four ghost running techniques, which can drive the four ghosts to save the world, but they are suffering from Xiaohuan and March ghosts.

In the last days of this dynasty of changes in the family and country, there are countless demons who indulge their desires, are born to kill people and eat people, and cause chaos in the world, and a group of demons and demons take advantage of the chaos in the world.

However, there are also Bai Lan from the south who carry the five immortals and four ghosts to save the world, Hu Xian enters the world to punish the wicked, Huang Xian holds the right to dispel evil demons, Bai Xian practices medicine to save the world from the epidemic, Liu Xian Miao Fa suppresses fierce demons, and the four elements of gray immortals gather life-saving food.

The name of Yushan Mansion has gradually spread in Vietnam, and gradually spread.

It's just that the image of Yushan Fujun in Yue is not the same as in Dajin and Tianlan.

In the hearts of the people of the Yue Kingdom, the image of Bai Lan is a white-clothed young man with a flute hanging on his left waist and a hoist on his right, holding a cloth bag engraved with the word grain in his left hand, but holding a green umbrella in his right hand, which means to protect the people.

On the border of Gunzhou, Mo Lin led his horse and walked in the valley, and Bai Lan walked leisurely in the mountains with his hands in his hands.

There's someone waiting for you, and it's a good feeling. Regardless of whether it is a human being or a god, it is the nature of less movement, and the popular point is that laziness is inevitable in all things.

Mo Lin secretly looked at the cloth bag hanging on Bai Zhi's waist, and the pendant hanging between his tall and slender waist would naturally move with it.

He had been following Bai Lan for more than ten days, and at this time, in the barren mountains and mountains, he finally asked the doubts in his heart.

"Childe, are you really not an immortal?"

Bai Lan turned his head and squinted at Mo Lin behind him, "If I am an immortal, I still need to walk?" Thousands of miles away, wouldn't it be easier for me to fly over directly? ”

"That's what Childe said." Merlin nodded and thought about it, then shook his head and said, "No, Childe, you are not an immortal, so how can your little cloth bag have so much food?" ”

Bai Lan chuckled and said, "I said it all, this is called inviting the gods to come up, and it is the food that was recruited by inviting Liu Xian to cast a spell." ”

"Is it so amazing?" Merlin said in surprise: "Then I beg the old man Liu Xian to come up, will he also go to my god to cast spells?" ”

"Huh? Dream on. Bai Lan said lightly: "A thin boy like you, Liu Xian is not willing to get on your body, there is no oil and water, and you can't eat meat." ”

"Huh? What? Liu Xian still has to eat meat on his upper body? Merlin said with a shocked look on his face.

"So what's not? How can there be any free benefits in the world? Bai Lan said slowly: "It's like if you don't eat the food you come from, and you exchange food with me as a scholar." ”

"This is different, Childe, you saved my life, Merlin has only listened to you for the rest of his life."

A few days ago, Bai Lan helped him dissolve the Guanyin soil in his stomach and let Merlin survive. After all, he didn't want the little scholar he had just received to die within a few days.

"Hey, Childe, what do you think that's that?"

Merlin suddenly alerted.

Bai Lan heard the sound and looked, but saw a corpse in the grass.

Judging from the clothes, it was a female corpse, and it was very old, she had been dead for three or five days, and her body was already covered with worms, and it also emitted a foul smell.

Merlin couldn't help covering his mouth and nose, and stepped forward to look at it and was not afraid, who in this world has never seen a dead person is strange. It's just that he stepped forward and took two steps, and couldn't help but exclaim, "Oh my mother! ”

Bai Lan was distracted, but saw a pile of white bones piled up under the col of the female corpse.

And all of them were female corpses, coarse cloth and old clothes, and a few fresh corpses were all broken bones, and it seemed that they had fallen from a high altitude and died.

Merlin couldn't help but shudder for a while, the visual impact of a dead man and a pile of dead bones was different.

"Male... Childe, let's hurry up. ”

Bai Lan sighed heavily, took a few steps forward, and suddenly raised his head and looked at the cliff.

Merlin had no choice but to stop, raise his head and look up, and saw a scene that he would never forget in his life.

I saw that on the mountainside dozens of feet high, a man carried a thin old woman on his back and put her on the edge of the cliff.

The old woman was still struggling, "Son, can you let your mother live a few more days?" Son, my mother hasn't eaten a bite of hot rice for more than ten years, it's just... Even if you let my mother die, let me eat rice! ”

"Old thing, old is to die. What food are you still thinking about? I just married my daughter-in-law, how can I have more food at home? You hurry up and die, don't let the villagers say that you don't want to die because of your old face. The man's tone was quite disgusted, and he didn't care at all that the person in front of him was his own mother who gave birth to him and raised him all his life.

After that, he started to push the old woman who was still struggling, and the thin old woman struggled desperately on the edge of the cliff, and begged humbly: "Son, my mother is either relying on not to die, or she wants to... I want to eat a bite of rice before I die, please, son, for the sake of my mother who has raised you for decades, I am pitiful and pitiful for my mother, right? ”

But the man said angrily: "The old thing told you that you don't listen, right? Your ancestors are all watching this mountain, are you worthy of your ancestors if you die? I raised you until you were sixty years old, isn't it enough to eat a few more years of white rice? Get the hell out of here! ”

On the edge of the cliff, the son wants to kill the mother, the mother begs the son to live, and every sentence of their words is like a knife that can cut the hearts of people, engrave on the hypocritical morality, and tear apart the peace that those who are whitewashed for the unkind officials.

However, the old woman still struggled, and her son, who was raised by her own hands and raised as a strong man, used that strength to push her off the cliff.

The old woman was pushed down the mountain and rolled down the cliff, from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the cliff, and fell into the bone-covered col, half-dead and weak.

When Merlin saw this scene, he felt a chill in his heart, and said, "This... These bones, all, are this... Is this how it came to be? ”

Bai Lan sighed lightly, "Probably." ”

He stepped forward, looked at the old woman who had passed out, and waved her up to wake up.

The old woman trembled and asked, "I... This is... Dead? ”

Bai Lan shook his head, "It's not dead, but it's going to be soon." ”

He silently took out a piece of rice ball, which was made of soft and glutinous white glutinous rice mixed with flour and a little sugar, and handed it to her, "This is also made of white rice, which can be regarded as fulfilling your last wish before you die." ”

The old woman looked at the rice dumplings in front of her, lying under her with white bones, and above her head was the cliff that had just been pushed down by her son, she couldn't help but tears and said sadly: "Thank you, young man!" I've raised it all my life, ahem, my son for a lifetime, and he didn't want me to eat a mouthful of rice before he died. Wife, I won't forget your kindness when I get down. ”

Bai Lan sighed and handed it to her mouth, the old woman laboriously gnawed on the rice dumplings with her toothless mouth, eating very finely and fragrantly, tears ran down her wrinkled face and left in her mouth, dried up the blood on her lips, with tears, mixed with rice dumplings and swallowed them one by one.

"Ahem... It's me... It's the best rice I've ever eaten in my life! ”

The old woman was satisfied, there was no resentment, no unwillingness, and she tilted her head very calmly, and then she lost her breath.

The remaining half of the rice dumplings rolled to the ground, mixed with the pile of white bones, all the same white.

Merlin couldn't help but shed tears in his eyes, "Childe, aren't you going to invite immortals?" Save this mother-in-law, right? ”

Bai Lan sighed, "This old man is dead, and the immortals can't be saved." ”

Putting down the bones, he didn't bury or move, turned around silently, and said in an emotionless voice: "Merlin, let's go." ”

Mo Lin was stunned, tore off a piece of cloth with Bai Lan's newly bought clothes on his body, covered the old woman's corpse, and wiped his tears with his sleeve before hurriedly following Bai Lan's footsteps.

It's just that after walking dozens of steps, they met an old woman in front of them.

The old woman was alive, her body was a rag sewn with pudding, but it was still neat, and the old woman sat on a stone, her eyes were closed peacefully, and she folded her hands and silently chanted the mantra.

Bai Lan walked in front of her, but the old woman didn't mean to open her eyes and take a look.

Merlin couldn't help but ask, "Old woman, why are you sitting here alone?" ”

Bai Lan stopped, and did not mean to stop Mo Lin, it was good for him to know the suffering in the world.

Suddenly hearing a child's voice in the mountains, she couldn't help but slowly open her eyes, her cloudy eyes full of years of sediment.

"Little baby, this is not the place for you to stay, let's go."

Merlin was puzzled, "Why? Mother-in-law? ”

Hearing this grandma, the old woman couldn't help but shake her hands, her face softened, she looked at Bai Lan and turned her head to Mo Lin, pointed to the cliff above her head, and said: "This is called the Niang Cliff, people within a radius of dozens of miles, when they are old, they will carry the old woman here and throw it down from the top of the mountain, so that there is one less mouth to eat." The sons of the family can also marry their mother-in-law better, so that they can be worn from generation to generation. ”

Merlin said with red eyes, "Why is it so cruel? Grandma, isn't your son filial piety? ”

The old woman looked at Merlin, thinking of the appearance of her son when he was young, and her grandson, and couldn't help but touch his head lovingly, "Silly baby, grandma's son is very filial." He didn't want to send me here, but Grandma wanted to come by herself, but my stupid son didn't throw me anymore, so he had to carry me into this col. ”

Merlin wondered, "Why, Grandma?" ”

The old woman chuckled, "Because, Grandma has a grandson as old as you at home, and Grandma wants him to have food to eat and grow up alive, so I have to leave, so that I can have an extra bite of food." If it weren't for my old man still being the head of the family and taking care of the clan affairs, these old men would not have been able to grow old. ”

Merlin glanced at Bai Lan, and still took out the two buns he secretly hid from his sleeves and put them into spoiledness, "Grandma, you can eat one!" ”

The old woman shook her head, "Silly baby, you can keep it and eat it, and grow your body." The rules that have been passed down from generation to generation in our world, I am ashamed to live, so that my son will be talked about by his neighbors.

What's more, if you can manage your grandma for a while, can you still manage it for a lifetime? If you eat it, you will die later. I'll leave it to you young babies to eat, and you can go quickly, only the dead will come back here. ”

Merlin couldn't help crying, wiping his tears as he staggered away, Bai Lan took his hand and left here with this young sad baby.

When they walked out of the valley, they saw a man in his twenties running deep into the valley with a bowl in his arms.

Bai Lan sighed, stretched out his hand and a little white light into this man's body, in the future, his body will be free from all diseases, his mind will be smart, and he will live well in the future era.

They were gone, the world in the valley was silent, and suddenly there was the sound of footsteps, and the old woman sitting on the stone suddenly opened her eyes and saw her son running towards her, and the old woman scolded: "Stop! ”

The son who was stopped looked up and saw that in the deep mountains and lonely wilderness valleys, his own mother, who had raised him for more than 20 years, was looking at him without joy or sorrow.

"Mother! I'll carry you home! Xiujuan, she is also willing to let you go back. ”

The wind blew through the mountains full of bones.

It was snowing in May.

In the wind and snow, the old woman sat cross-legged on the stone, folded her hands, suddenly raised her arms, waved at his son, and motioned for him to go.

"I've finished raising my children and raising children, and it's time to go. If you still recognize me as a mother, go back. ”

She knew in her heart that her family could not afford to raise an extra mouth, and once she went back to bed to see a doctor and buy medicine, her family would starve to death. Her son is filial, she is very happy, but as a mother, she is just a mother, and she sacrifices herself for her family!

His son bowed his head three times in despair, tears streaming down his face, and the moment he turned to leave, the old woman sitting on the stone slowly closed her eyes.

In the silent mountain wind and snow, there are generations of inheritance.

Merlin looked at the snow and cried, "Is this God's heart cold? ”

Bai Lan raised his head and looked at the heavenly firmament, he looked at the sky, the sky overlooked the common people, and all living beings were also looking up at the green sky.

"Many things, immortals who can move mountains and seas, can't change them. Even the heavens can only sit idly by. But these things can only be changed by a small number of people. ”

Merlin was puzzled: "What immortals can't do, how can mortals do it?" ”

"Because people are the most indispensable in the world!"
