"Master, is this where Daozong is located?"
In a dilapidated city, there were only a few people in the city. Among the broken walls and ruins, few people were walking around numbly.
The place was full of fragments and the city was full of blood.
Su Mo led the little girl and Master Huikong into the city slowly.
Hearing the little girl's question, Su Mo nodded slowly and said, "This is a city at the foot of Daozong Mountain."
"Why is it so dilapidated?" The little girl looked at the city in front of her and asked again.
"Because of desire." Su Mo didn't know how to tell the girl specifically. He turned to look at Master Huikong aside, "Master, how do you feel about this journey?"
Su Mo took the former girl and Master Huikong all the way from Qianjue Peak to the foot of Daoxuan Mountain. Everywhere he went, he would stop for a moment to see the sea of suffering that Master Huikong mentioned. Although the journey was uneventful, the closer we got to Daoxuan Mountain, the fewer people there were in the city.
It seems that people who were close to Doxuan Mountain moved their families to seek refuge.
Today, the foot of Daoxuan Mountain is in ruins. The world is not completely in chaos yet, but it is still waiting for the outside monks to descend from their clans.
There is a calm on the eve of chaos brewing in the world.
"Amitabha..." Master Huikong clasped his hands together and looked at the unrecognizable city. A trace of sadness seemed to flash through his expression. "All conditioned dharma are like bubbles in a dream, like dew or lightning. They should be viewed as such."
Su Mo smiled, walked to a house that was burned by fire, stretched out a finger to wipe the ashes on it, "If everything is an illusion, then what is the meaning of human existence? Why does the master want to Come to ferry me?"
"What a charming person says is what a wise person thinks." Master Huikong looked at Su Mo and said.
What Master Huikong means is that if you see something wrong and don’t correct it, it is not true Buddhism. M.biQuge.biZ
Su Mo nodded, did not speak anymore, but walked up to the little girl, touched her face, and secretly wiped his charcoal-stained fingers on the little girl's white face.
In the little girl's confused eyes, Su Mo looked at the girl's colorful face and nodded with great satisfaction.
Master Huikong looked at Su Mo, as if looking at a Buddhist who was addicted to the world of mortals, and sighed slightly.
At this time, a few people who seemed to have originally lived in the city slowly walked out of the street dragging a cart. They carefully looked at the sky and saw that there seemed to be nothing unusual. Then they took a deep breath and moved the big people. The small luggage was loaded onto the carriage, and then the carriage was dragged towards the city gate.
When the leader of the old man saw Su Mo and three people standing on the street in the city, he immediately hesitated and did not dare to move. It was obvious that Su Mo and three people had kind faces. After some hesitation, they still dragged their luggage and slowly walked towards Su Mo and three people. Come.
When the old man dragged his luggage and led several people slowly past Su Mo and the others, Su Mo stopped him: "Old man, I wonder what you are trying to do?"
The old man looked at Su Mo very cautiously, then looked at the well-behaved little girl Su Mo was holding in his hand, and breathed a sigh of relief... These people didn't look like evil people.
"We can't live here anymore. We can only find another place to make a living." The old man turned back and glanced at the dilapidated city behind him, with a trace of reluctance in his eyes. After all, this is the place where he has lived all his life.
But after thinking about it, my father-in-law had boundless confusion in his eyes again... The world was about to be in chaos, and where could we go?
"What happened here?" Su Mo asked again.
"The three of you don't look like you're from here?" Seeing that Su Mo didn't know what was going on here, the old man asked.
Su Mo nodded, and the father-in-law sighed and advised:
"Let's go, don't stay here... That day, several immortals came to the city. They started massacring and destroying this place without any explanation. Then they captured many young people and threw them at the foot of Daoxuan Mountain. .”
"It is said that it is to force Daozong to surrender..." The old man glanced at the high mountain outside the city, his eyes were respectful and sad.
This city is within the scope of Daozong. It has been peaceful under the protection of Daozong for thousands of years. But now, even Daozong, one of the three sects in the world, faces an enemy that it cannot resist.
"Where are those people who were taken away?" The little girl looked at her father-in-law and asked softly.
"They were all killed!" My father-in-law was extremely sad. Among the people who were captured and killed, his children were also included. "The blood stained the river at the foot of Daozong Mountain red."
Su Mo looked at the women and children behind his father-in-law, and sighed deeply, "Where are you planning to go this time?"
"I don't know, maybe I can only find a place to live temporarily. The world is about to be in chaos, where can I go?"
This city is under the jurisdiction of Daozong, and it is obvious that people in other places know much more about it.
"Amitabha." Master Huikong on the side looked at Lao Zhang and the others, a Zen thought flashed in his eyes, as if he could see the future, and then he slowly said, "If the donors have nowhere to go, then go south. , maybe there is a chance of survival going south."
The old man nodded slowly after hearing Master Huikong's words.
"But... going south, we will pass through the prehistoric mountains that span thousands of miles. It is said that wild beasts are rampant in those mountains, and we can't go through them at all!" A female family member behind the father-in-law hesitated for a while, and then spoke with a worried look on her face. said.
Su Mo thought for a while, stretched out a finger, and forced out a drop of shining blood from the fingertip.
He took out a bottle of elixirs from his arms, poured out all the elixirs, then dropped the drop of blood into the bottle, capped it and handed it to the father-in-law.
"If you encounter a wild beast, open this bottle..."
The old man took the bottle and looked at Su Mo with a puzzled face.
Master Huikong on the side looked at the bottle containing a drop of Su Mo's blood in the old man's hand, and was slightly tranced. Then he looked at Su Mo and said to the old man: "With this bottle in hand, the beasts in the prehistoric mountains will be free from disasters." It’s not a problem anymore.”
The old man looked deeply at Su Mo and Master Huikong, and seemed to finally understand something...
Su Mo and the others slowly turned around and left, heading towards Daoxuan Mountain.
The old man looked closely at the three figures...the figure in white and the old monk.
The father-in-law held the bottle in his hand tightly, and slowly knelt down tremblingly...
Several female family members and children on the side were shocked and wanted to step forward to help the father-in-law, but the father-in-law asked all the family members to kneel down.
After hearing this, several people knelt down in the direction where Su Mo and the others were leaving.
"Grandpa, why are we kneeling?" A child next to a female family member asked in confusion.
"Because, those three are kind-hearted... immortals."
"The Immortal... showed us a way out."
The father-in-law took the only remaining member of the family and bowed deeply in that direction.
