Chapter Seventy-Five: Reunion

"Sirius-kun, don't blame this shopkeeper anymore. He can help us to stop these people from being displaced, and he is willing to do his part to feed these famine people far more than any other mortal being. ”

"Nonsense!" Betelgeuse secretly gritted his teeth, "I am the star official who has been stationed in the human world for a long time in the heavenly realm, and of course my consciousness is much higher than that of you mortal liars!"

The "Heavenly Wolf Protector" glared at Betelgeuse and stood beside the purple-robed man.

Betelgeuse Qi noticed that the fake Dharma Protector walked over and peeked at the woman in the belly pocket several times, and the purple-robed man found it and glared back fiercely.

Looking at the virtues of several of them, Betelgeuse Qi somehow suddenly felt a lot of confidence in his heart, "I said this...... Nandou, cough cough, Nandou Shangxian, our inn has only been open for a few months, and the people of the entire Heluo City have come to eat and stay in the hotel, and our running hall and miscellaneous servants have not been invited, so we have to take care of a few of your great immortals and the group of disaster victims who seem to never have enough to eat......"

"Alas, what are you talking about, this immortal is here to save the common people......" The purple robe was a little anxious when he heard this.

Betelgeuse raised his hand to interrupt him, and then put the ledger and abacus on the table next to him, "To tell you the truth, although this shop is mine, there is an owner behind me. He told me that we don't do good deeds, and that the firewood, rice, oil, and salt transported from other places all need capital, and that we have to take care of so many people, and if we don't have any money, we have to close up the city, and if you want to save the people, you can take the victims of this city to another place, where can you have a hundred taels of silver to raise an inn in a city, and where can you take care of their business. ”

Betelgeuse Seven said, reached out and moved a stool, sat opposite Erlang with his legs crossed, and looked directly at the purple robe and the scantily clad "fairy" next to him.

The purple robe saw Betelgeuse's strength, and he made another color to the fake protector.

The machete of the counterfeit protector was handed directly to Betelgeuse's neck.

"Nandou Shangxian, don't be cruel to me. Betelgeuse raised his chin, "Our group of mortals have never been to the sky, but the rivers and lakes of the world are used to walking. My proprietor and the two guys in the store are outside, and they are both good thugs, and they are really energetic, and they may not be worse than you, the Heavenly Wolf Protector......"

"Ahh "Sneeze ......" "Sneeze!"

The three of Taiyang, Heguer, and Xingyuan walked in the desolate Heluo City, and when there were occasional refugees displaced by the famine on the roadside, Xingyuan stepped forward to deliver food one by oneβ€”of course, the food was taken from the back kitchen of the Huichen Inn.

"Uncle, I don't have the strength to eat this steamed bun anymore......" The little girl who fell in front of a village courtyard was skinny, she seemed to occupy the power of breathing, and said to Xingyuan: "Please send the steamed buns to the father and mother inside, so that they don't cut their own flesh to feed me......"

Xingyuan was startled, and the steamed bun in his hand rolled directly to the ground.

Seeing this, Kawaguji hurriedly ran two steps to pick up the food he had dropped.

The little girl finally exhausted the last bit of strength she had left, and after saying those words to Hoshigaki, she tilted her head, unable to breathe anymore.

How could the star officer born of the Lord not know that the weak creature in front of him had died?

"Mr. Hoshigaki?" Kawaguji nudged him.

"He Gongzi......" Xingyuan took the burden of food from the hands of the people around him in great disappointment, "Let's go inside and have a look." ”

Seeing them enter, the sun, who was supposed to follow, suddenly stopped, and he looked at the street corner behind him, and immediately found a bright red.

"This must be her father. ”

Hoshigaki and Kawaguji stood in the courtyard, but saw two dry corpses that could vaguely distinguish men and women lying on the ground, both holding a knife in their hands and a piece of rotting meat in their rotten hands......

Kawaguji stomped his feet hatefully, "Why didn't we arrive earlier!?"

Hoshigaki continued to run towards the hall inside.

The hall was littered with hungry people, and there were also people who were barely alive.

It can be seen that this place should have been a Taoist temple with flourishing incense in the past.

However, at this time, there was no fruit on the incense case, and even the ashes in the incense tripod were about to be taken out.

"I said earlier that if you eat the ashes, you will be punished...... Therefore I would rather starve to death than be swelled to death by the ashes of the censer like they did......"

Leaning against the incense case, a Taoist priest-like figure used a weak voice to make Xingyuan notice him.

"Incense burner ash is not food, I have steamed buns here. Xingyuan hurriedly took out a steamed bun and handed it to the Taoist priest.

Suddenly, many people rose up in the temple like corpses!

River Drum Er hurriedly took out the Lianxian Crystal Flute in his sleeve for defense.

"He Gongzi, they are all still alive......" Xingyuan stopped his companions, simply put down the burden, and distributed the steamed buns, buns, and flatbreads inside to the group of victims one by one.

"They're not aggressive, they're just too hungry. Hoshigaki stood up and patted Kawaguji on the shoulder.

He Gu Er put away the jade flute and said in a low voice: "I thought it was ......"

"It's fine. Hoshigaki comforted Kawaguji as he looked around, and inadvertently caught a glimpse of the statue in the middle of the view.

"It's ......"

Although the lacquer of the statue was slightly mottled, the plaque above it made Xingyuan unable to take his eyes off the Ziwei Nandou Temple.

"That's right, this is the Guanyu dedicated to the Southern Dipper Star Monarch. ”

Xingyuan hurriedly rushed over and helped the Taoist priest who was leaning on the incense case, "Excuse me, do you know something?"

"There was a famine, and there was no more food in the field, and there was a plague, and the city was defeated. Everyone came to the Nandou Star King's Guanyu to pray, and finally saw the true god descend to earth. ”

Xingyuan: "The true god descends to earth?"

The Taoist priest nodded, "The Southern Dipper Star Monarch is wearing a purple and gold robe, with a Dharma protector and a fairy, saying that he came down to save the common people......"

Kawaguji leaned over and whispered to Hoshigaki, "I think it should be the one at the Huichen Inn." ”

The Taoist priest didn't seem to have much strength, holding a steamed bun in his hand, and his head was weakly leaning on the table leg of the incense table.

A young man next to him, one on the left and one on the right, grabbed two large cakes, and said to the two of them while eating: "Nandou Xingjun formed the Ziwei Sect in the name of this Taoist temple. Those who enter the religion pay ten taels of silver each, and the Southern Dipper Star King shelters them to eat and drink. Not far away was a newly opened Huichen Inn, where they all lived. ”

"I heard that it was like a paradise," said an older woman next to the young man, "If a rich person pays money, believes in religion, worships the Nandou sect leader, worships the Dharma protector, and worships fairies, he will be able to eat and drink, and he will not be displaced." But we poor people can't afford to pay the entrance fees, so we have to flee the famine......"

"The old, the weak, the ...... who can't escape with their families," the Taoist priest said to the two Xingyuan, "and they all came to this temple to worship." At first, I thought that Nandou Xingjun could give us some food from the inn, but later, some people cut meat and fed their children, some people changed their children to eat, and some died and got up again and gnawed on the living...... But Nandou Xingjun and the Fairy Protector only hid in the inn, and didn't care about the lives of these poor people......"

"Then we ate the fruit and the ashes of the furnace......

"But Mr. Daoist said that if we were not allowed to eat the ashes, we would be punished by the Southern Dipper. ”

"But even if we don't eat the ashes, isn't it already a punishment to be given up by the Southern Dipper Star Monarch just because we don't have money?"

"Is there no silver the original sin of living in this world?"

After eating some food and gaining a little strength, the victims told Hoshigaki and Kawaguji about it.

However, the Southern Dipper Star Monarch, who was born and commanded, couldn't help but be stolen by a few scumbags, and could only watch as the people who believed in him died of hunger and epidemic one after another.

The surviving people, every word of confession seemed to be a verbal criticism of him, the Southern Dipper Star King.

"River Drum Er, let's go back first......"

Fine sweat oozed faintly from Xingyuan's forehead, and he felt that the unnamed power in Yaoguang that had been beaten by Gou Chenyi began to stir again.

The purple-clothed star official barely suppressed it with his other six stars, he covered his heart with his left hand, pulled up the river drum with his right hand, and rushed straight out without answering the doubts and concerns of his companions around him.

One was careless and bumped into a red-robed immortal outside!

"Xingyuan, this is just the time for tea, why are you so embarrassed?"

"Antares, you have arrived on earth, are you still using the timeline of the heavenly realm to measure the hours?"

The red-robed immortal was Antares, and when Hegu Er saw him, he took the lead in blaming.

Antares didn't bother to argue with him, but hurriedly supported the purple-clothed star official who was unsteady on his feet, and his right hand was on the yaoguang in his heart, and asked softly, "How is it, is it better?"

Xingyuan gradually settled on the impetuous spirit before he fixed his eyes on Antares, "It turned out to be you, fortunately...... I'm fine. ”

Antares's black eyes were still narrowed into two slits, and he quietly sent the method of voice transmission to Xingyuan's brain: "Entrusted by the Northern Heaven Star Official, come to me next time you feel unwell." ”

Hoshigaki looked at him, and he smiled at Hoshigaki again.

"Second Master Xin, you've done a really good job!" The Sun Monarch was still full of anger on his face.

Antares turned around, "Boss Yang, you beat and scolded just now, and your anger should be gone, right?"

The sun snorted coldly, "Did you bring the Golden Tiger Talisman?"

"Brought it. Antares took it out of his sleeve and offered it with both hands, "Don't dare to mess up what you have explained." ”

"I'll teach you a lesson when I return to the Heavenly Realm!" the sun picked up his treasure, turned around, and walked in the direction of the Huichen Inn.

Antares hurriedly trotted up to follow, "Lord Sovereign, listen to me, I really misread the timeline just now......"

"Call me Boss Yang. ”

"Boss Yang? Oh, okay. Boss Yang, you listen to my explanation, it's actually because of Nanhe San......"

Kawaguji and Hoshigaki followed, looking at the flowing and jumping red, and smiling at each other.

"When he came, I had some bottoms. What about you?"

"Ah, yes, at least I can hear a lot of commotion. ”
