"Shuanghe County may indeed be destroyed," Xiao Qianqiu said, "but this world? Do you know how vast this world is? How many places have you seen? How many things have you seen? Do you know that nine hundred years ago, the water demon of the Cloud Sea once set off waves and flooded the entire Yunzhou for three years, and countless cattle, horses, people and animals all made their food, and the surviving mortal people were only one hundred and seven? Do you know that five hundred years ago, the plague envoys from the five directions came out together, and they experienced a hundred eyes, clouds, and clouds. Hundreds of states and counties in Chilong, wherever they pass, there is no one in the immortal family?"

"This time it's different," Hua Lin shook his head: "Mountain monsters and water monsters, outside the door, are always in this world, and in Montenegro...... That, it's not. ”

"It's always average," Xiao Qianqiu disagreed: "What's more, it's only hurt a few people now." ”

"Even if it spreads beyond the mountains, there are still seven or eight countries that can resist it, do you think so?" Hua Lin suddenly asked: "You have repeatedly urged me to go to Yuexi Mountain, isn't it, in your opinion, these countries can also be sacrificed and discarded at any time?"

"I have personally experienced the rebellion of the Cloud and Mist Sea Demon," Xiao Qianqiu seemed to be talking about something that had nothing to do with him: " At that time, all the eyes could see were smoke waves, there was no peak and a stone exposed on the water surface in the whole Yunzhou, the people who saw it thought that the water receded, and there was no return to the old view, more than 100 years later, I passed by Yunzhou again, only to see that the market was prosperous, cattle and horses were all over the field, the fields were connected with the orchards, the orchards were connected with the mulberry fields, and even many places in the cloud and mist sea were reclaimed to make good fields, and villages were built, and the people were carefree in the middle, they didn't know what the water demon was, but they knew that their grandfather's grandfather would plow the fields and live here. ”

Hua Lin knows that mortals are different from immortal families, they sign marriage contracts at the age of twelve or thirteen under the arrangement of their parents, and often become ancestors at the age of thirty-four, and they will call a fluke when they live to fifty, and a hundred years of time is a snap of a finger in the eyes of true immortals such as Xiao Qianqiu, a lifetime in the eyes of ordinary immortals, and "the story of grandpa's grandfather" in the eyes of mortals.

Therefore, Xiao Qianqiu's eyes, I don't know how many mortals and immortals have seen the joys and sorrows, they are happy, they are dead, sad, and also dead, Xiao Xinglong thought that his love for the mortal jade pendant was heavenly, in Xiao Qianqiu, it was nothing more than another fleeting past. One Xiao Xinglong is like this, and the entire Xiao family, I'm afraid it is also the same in Xiao Qianqiu's heart.

If you don't become a true immortal, you are always a dead end, whether it is a dead end, a skeleton or ten thousand skeletons, and where is it worth them to take a second look? Mortals don't care if the alfalfa that is plowed into the ground when they turn the land is just one day away from blooming bright purple flowers, and true immortals don't care whether a country is swallowed up by the flood waves. Mortals know that in the spring of the next year, alfalfa will still grow, and the true immortals know that in another hundred years, the smoke will recede, and the mortal villages will still be full of smoke, and the people will flourish, and men and women will marry, and they will not know the past.

"No wonder the legend of the village always says that the immortal family is an outsider," Hua Lin said, "but this time you are wrong, very wrong." Do you think it's the best strategy to leave a plague-ridden city and flee to safety to a safe island, where the plague has killed everyone and then return safely?"

"It's really the best strategy for you," Xiao Qianqiu said in a deep voice: "What can you do? I have seen the anti-plague measures you have done in Shuanghe County, removing dirt, isolating injuries and diseases, these are all very good, maybe this gives you confidence, but you also have to take into account that there was no plague in Shuanghe County at that time, and there was no demon from the left path who was plagued behind your back, and there was also Xiao Ruyun assisting you, and now you have nothing." The people of Shuanghe County at least knew that they had to obey the county officials and officials, they did not believe in man-eating demons, did not practice evil arts, and did not use knives in the streets in broad daylight. ”

"They also plunder slaves in broad daylight, and I have encountered them more than once," Hua Lin reminded him: "The people of Shuanghe County also believe in man-eating demons and practice evil arts, they don't use knives on the streets, but they don't mind taking any girl who doesn't have a male companion and selling them, they are not as obedient as you think, even the servants are full of people who despise the immortals, and the reason why they obey orders in a proper manner when you come is because the county magistrate has just recently used the Shuanghe Sword and killed a disobedient person." ”

"It's still different. ”

"You should see what I have done among the Yi people, as long as the law is strict and the measures are effective, they can also lose their swords, and honestly farm the land, boil salt, and do everything that is good for me and themselves. ”

"So you want to stay in the plague-ridden city, risk contracting the plague, and carry out the work of eradicating the plague?"

"No, I don't want to, it's just that I can't leave. ”

"Can't leave?"

"I'll listen to you now, and set off immediately, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up with the pace of this plague!" Hua Lin said, "In this world...... There are no more safe islands left. ”

"No, do you know ...... outside the Moon Mountain?"

"'It's' appetite isn't limited to Yuexi Mountain. ”
