The girl's body was shaking so badly that Shen Li had no choice but to let her go for the time being.
In her moment of joy, she actually forgot that the Xiao He she knew had already sacrificed herself for the person she liked. Regardless of whether she just looked similar to Xiao He or not, so what if she was really the reincarnation of Xiao He. Not everyone is the same. Xing Zhi, Meng Po Tang is both poison and relief for ordinary people. In this life, she no longer knows the man named King Rui, and she has never been hurt by such a scheme.
Shen Li was silent for a moment, then Xing Zhi took a step forward and asked the girl: "You are not very good, but you dare to blatantly set up a stall to harm people. It is really a bit presumptuous. Aren't you afraid that the land of the mountain gods will accuse you?"
The girl gingerly hugged the python's neck on her lap and replied in a low voice: "The land of the mountain god here has been captured long ago."
Hearing this, Shen Li and Xing Zhi looked at each other, and Shen Li asked, "When were they taken away? Did you see where they were taken?" When she asked, her tone became slightly stern unconsciously, which frightened the girl even more. She was shaking so much that her pink lips trembled for a long time but she couldn't squeeze out a single word.
"I didn't beat you..." Shen Li sighed, feeling a little depressed. Xing Zhi laughed sullenly beside her.
When Shen Li was helpless, the green python lying on the girl's lap moved its head and said in a slightly hoarse voice: "Great Immortal, please forgive me." It struggled to hold up its head, but Shen Li just shook her twice and let her go. Being so overwhelmed and aware of the gap in strength, Qing Mang (green python) was even more respectful: "We, mother and daughter, did not want to do such a harmful business, but we were forced by reality and had no choice but to do such a thing. But in the past few months, we have definitely not harmed anyone's life! We only took away the money and released the people, and we have never harmed anyone! We hope that the immortal will save our life."
"When did you set up a stall here?" Shen Li asked, changing the question, "And why were you forced to do such a thing?"
When talking about this, Qing Mang sighed: "It seems that it is also because the lands of the mountain gods are disappearing. We originally lived in the mountains and forests thirty miles away from Yangzhou City. The father of this child is a mortal. Before, we relied on his father. I could barely survive with the food I grew myself and the prey I brought back from the mountains. But three months ago, something happened to the mountain where we lived. The trees were withered, miasma was everywhere, and not a single blade of grass grew..." Thinking of that scene, Qing Mang seems to still have lingering fears. She sighed and said, "None of the earth mountain gods were there. Later I heard from other monsters on the mountain that they were taken away by some guys called Fushengmen."
It’s the Fushengmen again. Shen Li frowned. It seemed that they arrested more than just people around the capital. Where did a small sect of cultivating immortals that had risen in recent years get the ability to capture so many immortals? And there was such a demonic energy. At this time, even Shen Li began to wonder if there was someone with evil intentions in the demon world.
"So I had no choice but to take this child and hide here. There is very little food to eat in this mountain. In desperation, we came up with this strategy, robbing passers-by of their money and food to use for survival."
"Where is your husband?" Xing Zhi asked softly, but it was not about the Fusheng Sect. "If he doesn't come, how will a mortal live?"
"He..." Qing Mang hesitated for a moment and then said honestly, "He was a Taoist priest before he married me. Although he usually lives with me, he has never given up the responsibility of exterminating demons and defending Taoism in his heart. This time there is a miasma in the mountains. First, he took his disciples to Yangzhou City long before us, mother and daughter ran out. He said that the miasma is so powerful that the city will definitely be affected..."
Shen Li was startled when she heard this. This snake demon only wants to have children with mortals, but that man is actually a Taoist priest? They have different paths, and coupled with the constraints of their identities, it must be extremely difficult for the two of them to be together. Shen Li actually admired this green python for a while.
At this moment when Shen Li was silent, Xing Zhi suddenly decided: "In that case, let's go to Yangzhou now." He smiled slightly, "I'll cook this meal for you another day." His tone was unknowingly affectionate. Shen Li was stunned for a moment, then turned her head and coughed unnaturally.
"Great... Great Immortal!" The girl suddenly said, "Can you take me to Yangzhou with you? I miss my father and brother Jing Yan very much." Her cheeks were slightly red, not sure whether she was anxious or shy.
If there is miasma in the city, it will have a great impact on this kind of little demon. Xing Zhi was about to refuse, but Shen Li agreed: "Let's go." She looked back at Xing Zhi, "Give her a talisman to avoid the miasma. Just paper will do." Her tone was decisive and completely non-negotiable. She didn't want to go on alone with Xing Zhi anymore.
Xing Zhi looked at Shen Li a little startled, then smiled, walked up to the girl, wrote a word on her forehead, and said: "If you feel unwell after entering the city, remember to tell me."
The girl nodded with great gratitude. Then her body shape changed and turned into a little green snake, which got into Shen Li's sleeve. She showed her head and looked at Shen Li. Shen Li smiled and said, "Let's go."
It was already sunset when they arrived in Yangzhou, but there was no beautiful shadow of the sunset. The sky above the city was shrouded in a dark miasma. If she didn't look carefully, Shen Li would have thought she was somewhere in the devil world. According to Green Snake earlier, every single earth immortal outside the city of Yangzhou was captured, and the surrounding mountains and forests were overflowing with miasma. The miasma that drifted down from the mountains every day accumulated in the city, and it became like this.
Shen Li frowned: "Demons are naturally adaptable to miasma, but mortals cannot stand such miasma."
As she said, a disease broke out in the city. Everyone, young and old, fell ill. Occasionally, a few able-bodied people could still walk a few steps on the street, but the legendary prosperous and prosperous Jiangnan land had become like a dead city.
The little snake trembled in Shen Li's sleeves. Shen Li touched her comfortingly: "Your family will be found."
They walked along the street for a while, and Shen Li asked Xing Zhi: "Is there any way to get rid of the miasma?"
"Of course there is, but the miasma in the city is caused by the mountains and forests. Clearing the miasma here will only cure the symptoms, while clearing the miasma in the forest will cure the root cause."
"Treat the symptoms first, then the root cause." Shen Li said decisively, "It's better to take it slow than to do nothing."
Before Shen Li finished speaking, a man suddenly rushed out from the side. His clothes were covered in dust, his hair was blown out, and his face was black and grey: "Finally...someone is finally here!" He covered his face in excitement, he was almost crying with joy, "Finally, someone came!"
Shen Li asked: "Who are you?"
The visitor wiped his face and almost cried: "I am Furong Jun!" He wiped his dirty face with his dirty clothes, making his face even dirtier, and then pointed at his own face as he said, "Furong Jun."
Shen Li frowned, feeling extremely disgusted: "Go away. I have no time to care about you now."
Furong Jun was stunned and looked at Xing Zhi Shenjun who turned away from him: "That's too much!" He said angrily, "I risked my life to save a city and you would treat me like this! If it weren't for me rushed to Yangzhou City, everyone here was swallowed up by the miasma! It was me who used purification spells to control the situation! What is the reason for your disgust?!"
Xing Zhi raised his head and looked at the sky: "There are traces of being purified."
Listening to Xing Zhi's confirmation, Furong Jun's anger turned a little grievance: "I came here to find some freedom, but I encountered something like this, since I encountered it, so I can't just let it go. I tried my best to purify it. The miasma in the city spread again in less than a day. There were too many sick people in the city, and those who were too seriously ill could not be cared for, so I took those with milder conditions to the temple in the north of the city and set up a barrier to trap them, I go out to purify the miasma every day, but the miasma is getting worse these days, and there is nothing I can do."
He said it in very sad way, and Shen Li pointed it out: "Why didn't you report it to heaven when you found it? You were afraid that you would be taken back. So, you insisted on purifying the miasma by yourself. Now that you couldn't bear it anymore, you thought of finding someone." Shen Li glanced at him, "How dare you save a city?"
Furong Jun choked. When he was in embarrassment, he saw a flash of blue light, and a young girl suddenly stood in front of him. Because her feet were unsteady, she staggered two steps and threw herself into Furong Jun's arms, then quickly stepped away: "Xianjun, are you okay? Have you ever seen a Taoist priest with a disciple in the city?"
This soft call made Furong Jun's whole body feel smooth. He looked Jing Xi up and down and narrowed his peach blossom eyes: "Of course I saw them. They are all in the barrier I set up."
"Can you take me there?"
"Of course." Furong Jun said, extending his hand, "I'll hold your hand. The miasma here is an eyesore, so be careful not to see it."
Shen Li hugged Jing Xi by the waist and put her on her shoulders, then told Furong Jun, "Go and lead the way."
Furong Jun glared at Shen Li angrily, turned around and walked ahead.
Shen Li didn't expect that Furong Jun, whom she had always regarded as a fireworks, was actually capable of creating a barrier around the temple in the north of the city, protecting the lives of at least hundreds of people. After entering the barrier, the people all greeted Furong Jun with smiles, as if they were extremely grateful to him.
Furong Jun turned his head to look at Shen Li proudly, as if he was showing off his merits. Shen Li turned her head and ignored him, but Jing Xi was stunned for a moment. Along the way, they kept praising: "The Immortal Lord is so powerful, the Immortal Lord is such a kind person." Furong Jun laughed happily.
When she walked to the temple, Jing Xi caught sight of the two people in the corner. She shouted and ran over: "Dad, Brother Jing Yan!"
When Shen Li heard this, she looked around and was slightly startled. Jing Xi's father seemed to be just an ordinary Taoist, but her brother Jing Yan actually looked too similar to Prince Rui from the previous life. At this time, a woman in pink clothes was lying next to Jing Yan. She seemed to be sick and sleeping. And the woman's appearance is similar to that of Ye Shi in the previous life!
Jing Xi hurried over, but Jing Yan shouted: "Stop making noise, didn't you see someone asleep?"
Jing Xi was stunned, moved back aggrievedly, walked to the side and grabbed the hem of her father's clothes.
This scene made Shen Li strangely think of the subtle relationship between the three people in the tomb. Could something like that happen again in this life? Shen Li couldn't help but ask: "Are they just repeating their own fate?"
Xing Zhi shook his head: "It's just a coincidence."
Seeing Jing Xi's aggrieved look, she suddenly thought of Xiao He and couldn't help but murmur to herself: "After Prince Rui became emperor, in so many days and nights in his life, did he ever recall for even a single moment that there was once such a talented person? The woman with the pointed horns has no chance to bloom in order to fulfil him."
"He will remember it." Xing Zhi replied, "After he became emperor, the imperial garden was filled with lotus flowers."
Shen Li was stunned, not expecting Xing Zhi to answer her, but after being stunned, she sighed again: "Although it's useless, if Xiao He knows about it, she will be happy. At least, she will be remembered."
