After returning to the cave, Lin Nanyin did not go directly to the bottom. Instead, he observed the surroundings with his spiritual consciousness at a depth of one or two meters at the entrance of the cave. After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, he determined that the body of the Taoist disciple in the fire house had been buried.

After it burned down and no one was around to search, she returned to the basement.

Because the owner of the storage bag in her arms died, the restrictions on it have dissipated. With a little exploration with her spiritual sense, she can feel how much space there is and some general items inside. It is inconvenient at this time, so Lin Nanyin said

He stopped searching.

But this unexpected gain made her heart a little excited.

Sure enough, there was a gold belt for murder and arson. Although she did not kill this person, it would be better if she could pick up a few more.

Greed only appeared in Lin Nanyin's mind for a moment before she suppressed it.

This time, the corpse was right above her head, and there were flames destroying the corpse next to it. This would not be such a good opportunity for other corpses in other positions. She couldn't bend herself in for this little thing.

In the end, Lin Nanyin decided to just wait here. If there were other corpses nearby, she could pick them up. If they were too far away, she would pull them down. However, she felt that she was lucky to have such an opportunity once, and the chance of it happening again was low.

Sure enough, such good luck never came again. Instead, the battle in mid-air became more and more intense, and the ground suffered from time to time. In order to prevent himself from stepping on shit and getting lucky, Lin Nanyin returned to the underground and relied on the power of the earth to unload.

Lose most of your attack power.

The waiting time was extremely long, especially since the pitiful wailing sounds of the same people could be heard from above. Lin Nanyin's heart felt doubly tortured just by thinking that some of those people were people he had seen and spoken to before.

After an unknown amount of time in the darkness, Lin Nanyin suddenly discovered that the movement on the ground seemed to have disappeared. She was a little unsure at first, and after listening for a moment to make sure there was no movement, she let the others stay and jumped away.

Check the situation at the cave entrance.

The fighting outside has indeed stopped. At this moment, the monster beast and the Taoist palace disciples in mid-air are confronting each other across the circle of light. It seems that one party has compromised and the two parties are negotiating.

Lin Nanyin couldn't hear what they were talking about because they were too far apart, but the atmosphere between the two sides was still tense, mainly manifested in the fact that all the Dao Palace disciples were wrapped in spiritual energy and were on guard, as if they were about to start a fight at the next moment.

Generally speaking, the more defensive you are, the less confident you are. I think some of the people who bowed their heads first may be from the Taoist Palace.

Their talk seemed to have broken down once in the middle. The ferocious beast outside flicked its tail and a cyan spiritual power passed through the aperture and hit the bell jar surrounding the Tao Palace, making the cracks around the bell jar even worse. Maybe it was because of this.

The palace gatekeeper chose to compromise, and soon, an old man with white hair and white beard came out with something.

As soon as the thing came out, Lin Nanyin smelled the strange fragrance of yesterday again.

Sure enough, it was the war caused by that rare treasure.

The old man holding the exotic treasure in his hands did not know what he said to those monsters. Finally, the old man threw the exotic treasure into the air. As soon as the treasure came out of the circle, the beast with the most ferocious aura around him caught it and suddenly moved towards the Taoist palace.

The bell jar spurted a stream of flames.

The already shaky bell jar made a "click" sound that Lin Nanyin could hear due to this fatal blow, and then under everyone's gaze, the bell jar shattered.

"I'll fight you, you beast!" The change happened in just a moment. The old man who was returning the treasure seemed to be stimulated when he saw the bell jar shattered. He suddenly roared and rushed towards the monster outside the circle like lightning.

, the next moment Lin Nanyin saw the old man holding a monster beast and rushing straight into the sky, and then with a "bang" sound, a spiritual aura visible to the naked eye exploded high in the sky where everyone was looking up.

Is this... self-destruction?

Lin Nanyin had seen many people who died fighting for profits. This was the first time she met a senior who was so determined for the sake of the sect. For a moment, she felt a little hot-eyed for no reason, and her heart was filled with infinite sadness.

The human race is still too weak.

The old man blew himself up and died, leaving no bones. The monster he took away with him had to bear the blow because it could not avoid it. Its head was blown to pieces, and its body also fell from the air.

The death of the old man made everyone in the Dao Palace become sad and angry. Another old man headed by him also had a whirlpool of spiritual power around him. He yelled angrily: "If you bully him again and again, then don't blame the old man. I will take him again before I die."

Take one!”

"And I!"

"Me too!"

"The worst case scenario is that both sides will suffer, and no one will be able to live well!"

Dao Palace disciples stood up one by one, and the momentum of the human race was rising steadily.

Probably because they had already obtained the item, the other monsters didn't want to offend the madman who was pushed to the limit, so they circled in the sky for a few times and then flew away one by one.

As soon as the monster left, the Dao Palace disciples in the sky also dropped to the ground as if they were exerting their strength. Lin Nanyin knew that this storm should be over for the time being. She was very happy when she saw the figures of hundreds of Dao Palace disciples descending from the mountain with swords.

He wisely returned to the basement.

Others in the basement were not sure what was going on outside. Seeing that the movement had stopped, they hurriedly asked Lin Nanyin what was going on, "Is it over?"

"Almost." Lin Nanyin said in a muffled voice.

"Then let's go up now?"

"No." Dao Scarqing answered, "It's still too chaotic right now. Let's wait. What do you think, Doctor Lin?"

Now they have subconsciously asked Lin Nanyin's opinion first on any issue.

"Well, let's wait for a while. Someone will find us." Lin Nanyin had already noticed that a Dao Palace disciple was passing by above, as if he was searching for something. After the Dao Palace disciple left after searching without any results, she continued

He continued: "Let's check the caliber and say that because there are too many medicinal materials, we need a place to store them, so you are digging underground passages to store the medicinal materials these days. As a result, we happened to catch up with such an incident today, and we happened to hide down for refuge. Do you understand?

?”

"Understood." Xue Yong was the first to respond.

As soon as he said this, others also said that this was the reason.

None of us are brainless. We know that if the truth about this matter is revealed, it will definitely bring trouble to Dr. Lin. If Dr. Lin hadn't led them, how could they be safe and sound now?

"Doctor Lin, don't worry, even if something happens, I will take full responsibility for it." Dao Scar Qing said.

"It's not that serious." Lin Nanyin reassured them. The Taoist palaces are probably too busy taking care of themselves right now, and ordinary people most likely won't check things in such detail. To put it bluntly, what if they knew they had drilled the hole one night in advance?

She didn't bring the treasure in, nor did she attract the monster. She just felt uneasy and prepared for the worst in advance to nip it in the bud. Wasn't this also okay?

After waiting for about another quarter of an hour, a familiar person came outside.

Lin Nanyin motioned to Dao Scarqing to quickly grab the rope and climb up.

Dao Scarqing agreed. After a while, after he went up, Zhou Feibai's voice came from above everyone's heads: "Sister? Sister, are you okay?"

Hearing her brother's voice, Zhou Yuanniang immediately became excited, "I'm fine, I'm fine, don't worry."

"That's good." Zhou Feibai seemed to be relieved, "I'll go down and bring you up now."

As he said that, he jumped down from the outside, and Lin Nanyin took advantage of the situation to avoid the deepest part of the basement. After Zhou Feibai carried Zhou Yuanniang up, she asked Xue Yong to carry his daughter up.

"I'll take you up." Zhou Feibai saw this and jumped down again.

He went one at a time, and soon it was Lin Nanyin's turn.

When he reached out to Lin Nanyin, Lin Nanyin ignored him, hugged the jujube tree, grabbed the rope, and let Dao Scarqing and Xue Yong pull her up.

As soon as he came out of the cave and his eyes adjusted to the sunlight, Lin Nanyin looked around and saw that everything he looked at was desolate. The number of people who died in the past half day was more than those who died of freezing, starving and being killed in the past few years.

It was too much in total, and no matter where she looked, she felt miserable.

Zhou Yuanniang and Mrs. Xue were hugging each other and crying. Dao Scarqing and Xue Yong also had sad eyes and couldn't bear to look at them any longer.

Lin Nanyin ignored Zhou Feibai, and Zhou Feibai didn't care. He waited for everyone to calm down a little and then said: "I will follow the senior brothers to settle the others later. You just stay here and don't go anywhere."

Hearing this, Lin Nanyin glanced at Dao Scarqing vaguely.

Dao Scarqing understood immediately and took the initiative to recommend himself to Zhou Feibai: "Now is the time when we are short of people. Anyway, Xue Yong is here, why don't I go with you and see if there is anything I can do to help?"

Zhou Feibai looked him over and over, and finally nodded, "Okay, then you come with me."

Next came post-war reconstruction, but compared to the first time people came to the Taoist Palace to escape death, this time everyone had a little more doubt in their hearts.

Will everything really get better?

Will something like this happen again this time, or even two or three times?

Through countless pairs of blank eyes, Lin Nanyin once again had a strong desire for strength. If she was strong enough, everything would be rewritten today.

"Dad, our family is gone." Xue Dalang stood in the yard with tears in his eyes, "The grape trees were also burned, and my sister has no grapes to eat."

Xue Yong reached out and touched his head. "If the house falls down, it can be rebuilt. If the grapes are gone, they can be planted again next year. Everything will be fine."

"Will it really get better?" the child asked angrily, obviously not very convinced.

This time it was Lin Nanyin who answered him: "It will get better. Definitely." As long as she stays alive.

Half a day later, when another evening arrived, the statistics of casualties were almost available.

Among the people Lin Nanyin knew, both Mr. and Mrs. Zhang were gone. Their family of three only had one child left. They seemed to be worried about the child, so Mr. Zhang kept holding on until he died. Later, when Lin Nanyin heard the news, he went over and promised him that he would do it in the future.

After watching his children grow up, he closed his eyes with blood and tears; Qian Baolin and his family were all gone. It is said that the fireball hit their house and none of the family ran out; Uncle Wang, Zhao Laoer and his wife were four

Because they were busy going out at the time, they ran out as soon as the incident happened. Fortunately, they didn't die, but Zhao Laoer had an arm broken.

Fortunately, it was still possible to go out at that time. Many people escaped. Although many people died after going out, the probability of survival was higher than staying inside. At least there were many people outside before dark.

Came back alive.

After Lin Nanyin and others helped collect the corpses of people they knew, they were driven into rebuilding their homes before they had time to feel sad for too long.

Lin Nanyin is a medicine farmer. She didn't stay at the foot of the mountain for too long. After she built a temporary shelter-like residence, she was called to the medicine forest to continue taking care of the Cold Moon Grass.

The cold moon grass is delicate and will wither if it is not watered for more than three days.

Returning to the medicinal forest only after a day or two, Lin Nanyin's feelings were very different.

In the past, she felt that it was easy to enjoy the shade under the big tree, and the Dao Palace was a giant in her eyes, but now it seems that the Dao Palace is not as powerful as she imagined.
