Chapter 68 Companion
For the residents of Jiading Prefecture, this is destined to be a sleepless night.
Due to the catastrophe of Fengzhou Island, more than 200 residents on the island became homeless refugees overnight. Some of them defected to the city's relatives nearby, and some left Leshan overnight. The remaining people were crowded in the yard of Lingyun Temple, waiting for the abbot Shu Ran to solve their problems.
Monks were compassionate and generous, so the abbot naturally ordered the disciples in the temple to properly resettle these refugees. The disciples cooperated one after another, and they were originally living alone to sleep in bed to free up more guest rooms to accommodate everyone. But even so, the temple was not built specifically to help refugees. All the wings were already full, and there were still forty or fifty refugees without beds. So the young and middle-aged people on the island generously gave the beds to other elderly, weak, women and children, and they lived on the ground in the courtyard outside the Main Hall.
Pu Zixuan and Chen Shuqing will sooner or later become beds, so they will naturally not compete with the refugees for these precious relief, but they will not cast spells in front of everyone and cause trouble. They will wait until the refugees fall asleep before making plans. Before that, the two of them wandered in the temple for a while. When they were tired of walking, they rested in a small pavilion on the river.
This is an observation deck, and across the river, there is a dead Fengzhou Island in sight. In normal times, there are still a little sparks on Fengzhou Island at this time, which symbolizes popularity. However, on this month's high-star night, there is no trace of fireworks on the island, which makes Pu Zixuan feel that the battles that had been fought a few hours ago seemed like a lifetime ago.
This is also the first time Pu Zixuan has seen a volcanic eruption in his life. Although the eruption process did not last too long, a few hours passed, and the faint smell of sulfur in the air could still be smelled in Lingyun Temple, which made people feel anxious and at ease.
When he was a child, he heard from his father that there was a famous city called "Pompeii" in Italy. More than a thousand years ago, it encountered a devastating volcanic eruption, which made this big city in Italy at that time become ruins overnight, and the lives of tens of thousands of people were gone. In comparison, today they were able to escape from heaven because the demon king Drought Ba controlled his strength, allowing people to warn in advance. Of course, this was not the kindness of Drought Ba, but just to buy time for Fu Yan.
The two sat quietly, chatted for a while, and then took a rest. At some point, Su Sanniang also came to the pavilion in search of the demonic energy. Pu Zixuan found her and asked, "Why don't you go to rest?"
Su Sanniang responded: "I can't sleep. There are so many things happening today, which makes people feel uncomfortable. My long-lost memories are all reminiscent of them, which makes me feel even more depressed. Besides, I was a member of God worshipping the Lord and believe in God. Although I have asked for help from the abbot of Release, it was forced by the situation and I had to do it. This Buddhist holy land is incompatible with me. After thinking about it, I decided to say goodbye to you two."
Pu Zixuan and Chen Shuqing were immediately like a thorn in their throats. They spent several days with Su Sanniang day and night, and then experienced the life and death disaster. In the minds of the two, they had already regarded the legendary heroine as their companion. When they heard her say goodbye, they couldn't help feeling cold. Pu Zixuan immediately stood up and asked, "What are you saying? Where are you going?"
Su Sanniang said calmly: "We met by chance, why do you ask this more?"
Pu Zixuan asked back: "It's fate that we have gathered together today. Even if we are not friends, our comrades are always well deserved, right? Can't we care about the whereabouts of our comrades?"
Su Sanniang said, "Forget it, it's okay to tell you. I plan to stay in the city for a while and set off tomorrow, leave Leshan and go to Guangxi. I have something to do there."
Pu Zixuan said, "Are you crazy? You are the famous Su Sanniang, a wanted criminal in the court, and now you have become a thorn in the demon world. If there is any mistake on the way, even if you have the power to purify and be alone, how many enemies can you deal with?"
Su Sanniang said, "How can I not know the difficulties I am facing? However, the demon king Hanba is coming here. With our current strength, how can we be his opponent? In addition, although I am a soldier in the heavens, His Highness Yi is no longer alive, and our troops are all going their separate ways. I no longer have important tasks. It is precisely because of this that I decided to go to Guiping, Guangxi for a while, find my master, train well for a year and a half, improve the power of purification, and then go to Kunlun Mountain to get rid of the Demon King's House. Time is so precious, how can I waste every inch of time?"
Seeing Su Sanniang considering this, Chen Shuqing stood up and said, "Su Sanniang is a bit disgusting when she says this. The demon king brother Duo killed my adoptive father, Xiaoqi's ancestor, not only your enemy, but also our old enemy! Since we have a common enemy and today we have such a successful cooperation, why not join forces to go on the road of revenge together?"
Su Sanniang said, "I don't have this intention? However, we only have a common goal in eliminating demons, but Qing Yao is not your enemy. If you walk with me and are wanted by Qing Yao as a bandit, how can I, Su Sanniang, take this responsibility?"
When he heard that Su Sanniang was interested in forming an alliance with the two and was only worried about the court issues, Pu Zixuan immediately laughed and said, "Su Sanniang, Su Sanniang, you have been with us for so many days, but still don't understand Xiaojiu's ability?"
Su Sanniang said, "I have already learned the power of Chen Shuqing. But if the Qing demons bring troops to attack, even if there are ten fox demons, they will not be the opponents of this crowded crowd. You must know that when I walk with me, I will no longer face a gang of more than ten people on Fengzhou Island, but a thousand troops!"
"It's not this problem, it's not this problem." Pu Zixuan still smiled, "Let me give you a reminder. Look at my hair, is it like you 'hair bandits' and 'long hair'? But why did I never get scolded by the court after I came here all the way from Yunnan for more than half a month?"
Su Sanniang was confused and was very dissatisfied with Pu Zixuan's laughter, as if she was being fooled, and said, "Pu Zixuan, don't keep it a secret. What do you want to say, just say it?"
Pu Zixuan said: "It is because you have the possibility of being discovered by the court that you should walk with us more. Think about it, if you encounter officers and soldiers interrogate, you only need Xiaojiu to breathe, and you can turn your hair into another look. Along the way, before meeting officers and soldiers, Xiaojiu helped me turn my hair into braids. You said, is there anything safer than being with us? Hahaha!"
Su Sanniang suddenly realized that there was no need to weigh the pros and cons, but there were all advantages and no harm. She said, "After that being said, we each have our own ways. I must go to Guiping, Guangxi to improve my strength. Do you want to go too?"
Chen Shuqing said: "That's a coincidence. The fragments of "Huanyue Jue" were scattered all over the country. We were looking for them all in the order of locations. There was a piece of Guilin, a provincial capital in Guangxi. It's meaningless to stay in Sichuan now. Since it's the same province, why don't Xiaoqi and I go to the place where the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was in trouble?"
Su Sanniang finally smiled: "Since that's the case, I voluntarily went to Guangxi, and I no longer have any worries. Chen Shuqing, I promised you to help you find a doctor to treat your internal injuries. There is a miracle doctor in Guiping who can help you recover as soon as possible. Are you happy?"
Chen Shuqing smiled and said, "It's so good."
Su Sanniang said to Pu Zixuan again: "As for you, Pu Zixuan, your purifying power is still immature, and it is actually as powerful as mine. It seems that Mr. Pu Songling's descendants are indeed extraordinary. However, your weakness lies in your lack of combat experience and extremely single moves. I think you still have great room for growth. If you don't dislike me, I can recommend you to your master and help you practice. What do you think?"
Pu Zixuan knew the limitations of his own purifying power. When the enemy was in front of him, he was looking forward to a master's advice. After hearing what Su Sanniang said, he suddenly felt passionate: "I dare to ask who your master is?"
Su Sanniang smiled and said, "An old guy who loves money like life has a powerful purification power. As for whom, you can see it."
Pu Zixuan smiled and said, "Since I love money, it's a trivial matter for me. I'm more respectful than obedient."
Chen Shuqing said again: "Su Sanniang, you have recovered all the memories of those ten years. Since we are companions, why not introduce your later story to us? I predict that your experience in the past ten years will never be simple. In this way, if we encounter any difficulties in the future, we should know it."
