The three northwest states and Shuzhou are all good, Liangzhou and Qinzhou are raging after several wars, and nine out of ten houses are empty.

Chen Changsheng and Chen Shuangmei entered Qinzhou all the way, and passed several towns in succession. Every household had empty houses, and there was not even a single figure. The rice fields along the way were cracked, and the fields were covered with dry grass and desolate. This was nothing, but what was even more shocking was that there were often several corpses lying on the side of the road, with dry belly and deep cheeks. When you saw it, you knew that they were starved to death. The more you walked, the more hungry you were, it was hard to bear to see it.

On the evening of the day, the two of them came to a ruined temple. When they saw smoke rising from cooking, Chen Changsheng was overjoyed. They wanted to go in quickly, but were pulled by Chen Shuangmei. They quietly turned back and looked inside the window. They saw several ragged men surrounding a pot of steaming boiling soup, adding firewood and fire at the bottom of the pot, while the rolling things in the soup almost made Chen Changsheng spit out.

Fortunately, Chen Shuangmei saw that the situation was not good, so she covered Chen Changsheng's mouth with her hands, and then there was no sound, but Chen Changsheng also vomited one hand.

After the black and thin boy reacted, he felt a little embarrassed and said, "Sister, I'm sorry..."

Both of them were surnamed Chen and had experienced life and death together, so Chen Shuangmei had already regarded the boy as his own brother. Naturally, she would not care about it at this time. She just shook her head and washed her palms with the water in her carry-on bag.

At this time, I heard a man in the ruined temple chanting: "I haven't eaten such a fat and tender lamb for a long time. I'm so lucky today. Those two old ones will keep them for tomorrow, so I have to save some food."

Another person said: "It's a pity that those sheep's blood are lost. Cooking a pot of sheep's blood soup is very good."

Then several other men's voices of approval sounded.

Chen Changsheng immediately remembered the story of the two-legged sheep that the boss once told him. During the war, people were in trouble and could not make up for it. They fed with people. There is a saying in the volume of "Chicken Li Bian": The old and thin man called it "free fire", and the woman with little mugwort was called "not envious of sheep", the child called it "harmony bone rot", and the eyes were called "two-legged sheep". At that time, the shopkeeper said: "In ancient and modern times, the soldiers who eat human flesh were called "thinking meat, or two-legged sheep. This is the inhumane nature of the thief, and it is not worth killing."

Thinking of this, Chen Changsheng felt that the disgusting feeling that had just been suppressed surged up again. He slowly sat down against the wall and took a deep breath.

When he was in the inn, the shopkeeper always sighed about "the world" and "people" when there was no one around. At that time, he was not very clear, but today he seemed to have suddenly opened his mind and understood everything.

Why do shopkeeper Mr. Li and others insist on saving the world and the people? It is to prevent such tragedy in the world from being harming the world.

Chen Shuangmei helped him gently stroke his chest and lowered his voice and said, "These people are not ordinary people, they should have cultivation. This is the evil of human nature. If they are placed in other places, they may also be well-known figures in the martial arts world. But in this place, they are so hungry that they have no food to fill their stomachs. They will starve to death and eat nothing and care about anything. The so-called eating by changing children can be seen, which is worse than animals. This is why it is said: 'If the granaries are full, they know etiquette, and if they have enough food and clothing, they know honor and disgrace.' If they don't even have food, the people who are afraid of officials like tigers will rebel, and those knights who seem to be righteous will eat people, and the world is big, and they will live the greatest."

After hearing Chen Shuangmei's words, Chen Changsheng slowly calmed down and whispered: "If it were me, I would rather starve to death than... I would never do such a thing!"

Chen Shuangmei sighed softly.

Many times, it is one thing to say, but it is another to do it.

During the previous dynasty, many great scholars talked a lot about how to serve the country with death. When the Jin Horde was actually called, how many great scholars died? However, many people rushed to become third-class servants in the Jin Horde, and the character of scholars was gone.

Therefore, there is no end to life and death, and no true nature.

This is also because she admired Li Xuandu. She had already fallen a lot four years ago and almost threw herself to death. She also threw away her infinite future. But four years later, he still remained determined to say what he said and do what he did.

It’s hard to drink ice for ten years. How can people not admire it?

Chen Changsheng still wanted to speak, but suddenly there was a warning in his heart. He subconsciously grabbed Chen Shuang's eyebrows and stood up and ran wildly.

The next moment, the wall he was originally relying on broke and dust spread everywhere. Then, several people in the temple noticed the existence of the two of them at some point. One of them smiled and said, "I don't know what kind of luck I have hit today, and I can't stop it. One is 'harmonious' and the other is 'not envious of sheep', which is enough for us brothers to eat for a few more days!"

Several other people said yes.

The heart of Shen Changsheng sinks.

Looking at the people in front of me, although they are not powerful people, at most they are at the level of cultivation in the divine realm and the elixir realm, otherwise they would not have fallen to this point. If they are still in their inn, they will not have to take action, and the boss's wife can be used by them at will. The key is that the boss and the boss's wife are not around now. Now Sister Chen is injured and cannot do anything. Although he was taught a "Taishang Alchemy Sutra" by the Taoist boy, he did not have time to practice along the way, and his cultivation is really limited.

Chen Changsheng really felt unsure.

Chen Shuangmei whispered: "Changsheng, you will try your best to escape later. Don't look back, they can't catch you."

Chen Changsheng said anxiously: "Sister, where are you?"

Chen Shuangmei reached out and pressed the sword on her waist, "No matter what the 'ghost curse' is in her body, it is still no problem to barely kill these scums."

Chen Changsheng shook his head desperately.

The conversation between the two did not escape the ears of these people. The leader smiled and said, "Are they a pair of siblings? It's such a big tone. I want to see how you are going to kill us."

Chen Shuangmei was about to draw her sword, but Chen Changsheng had already gritted his teeth and stepped forward alone, blocking Shen Shuangmei's face.

At the same time, a man quickly stepped forward and punched the boy who was looking for death.

At this moment, Chen Changsheng only felt a golden scripture in his mind suddenly lit up, and the numberless symbol shone brightly.

Chen Changsheng subconsciously formed a finger trick on his hands, and a round cover like an eggshell appeared around him. The man punched the round cover, and his whole wrist suddenly twisted into an extremely terrifying arc, and Chen Changsheng was standing there without moving at all.

"Protecting the body?" Several other men were shocked by this scene. The leader shouted: "Brothers, don't be afraid, search the guys!"

After the words came, several men pulled out their own weapons, which were bright and shocking, and their backs were chilling.

Chen Changsheng was confused and seemed to hear the voice of a middle-aged man in his ear. He was not the shopkeeper or the little Taoist boy, but a very strange voice that he had never heard before, as if he was reciting a passage of scripture.

With this voice, a picture suddenly flashed through his mind. It was a Taoist palace with tens of golden lamps, extremely brilliant.

In a trance that seemed to be a dream and woke up, Chen Changsheng seemed to have become one of the people. He watched the golden lamps in the Taoist Palace go out one by one, and then everyone began to leave the Taoist Palace. Finally, with the scene of the sky shaking and earth shaking, the Taoist Palace sank and sank into the ground little by little, and finally there was no trace.

At the same time, Chen Changsheng's body began to move involuntarily, posing in a round position with both hands.

Several men were stunned for a moment, thinking that they had met a stunning young man. After waiting for a while, they saw that the black and thin boy had not moved for a long time, and suddenly they looked fierce and walked towards Chen Changsheng.

Chen Changsheng's clothes were shaking and he said softly: "The Supreme Taoist Ancestor is merciful."

After the words came to his voice, a little red color grew between his palms, and then the red color became bigger and bigger, and it turned out to be a tiny fire dragon with its head and tail intersecting.

Chen Changsheng spread his hands.

The fire dragon instantly turned into more than a foot long, roaring hideously, and swept past.

Several men who were still showing off their power immediately turned into several charred corpses.
