Chapter 194 The Taoist Priest Collapses
Shi Xuanying uttered a short "ah" and her expression looked quite strange.

"Isn't it?" Yan Cui saw her reaction and asked, "Then what should be the explanation?"

"What I mean is, since I have the idea of ​​keeping him, I have to keep him even if the sky falls." Shi Xuanying touched her chin and looked at him again, "He can even comprehend the great way, he is worthy of being the son of heaven."

“……” Yan Cui silently ate the spiritual fruit.

……

General Shao and others were quite nervous when they decided to leave Pingcheng Pass, but after walking seventy or eighty miles, they were filled with gratitude.

The originally barren land of the northwest is now a barren land for thousands of miles. As far as the eye can see, the earth is cracked and there is no grass. After traveling for such a long time, there is not even a living creature seen!

Seeing such a shocking scene, General Shao realized that God had been kind to them. At least the well water in Pingcheng Pass had only completely dried up recently.

He was able to make the decision so quickly thanks to Yan Cui.

The supplies for tens of thousands of people were not a small amount. At least half of the people who stayed in Pingchengguan and did not escape were old and weak. It was good enough for them to take care of themselves, let alone help transport supplies! If Yan Cui had not helped to collect some of them, many people would have died.

……

As they moved forward, the water in the supplies was quickly consumed, the weight was reduced, and Shi Xuanying was always able to lead everyone to "find" water sources, so the speed of the second half of the journey was not slow at all.

Along the way, when many people were about to collapse, Shi Xuanying rescued them, and no one died since leaving Pingcheng Pass.

Even though General Shao knew that she was a grandmaster, he still found it incredible.

However, while the journey was smooth, various new problems arose.

For example, right now some people are clamoring to stay.

When the water they carried ran out, it was no longer enough for Shi Xuanying to create a small puddle. In order to solve the drinking water problem for 60,000 to 70,000 people, at least a stream or a pond was needed. However, when a large water source appeared, many people who had enough food with them were unwilling to leave.

Not only that, this group of people also instigated some elderly and weak people in their families to ask Xiao's army for food and persuade them to stay together.

General Shao knew clearly that all the water was created by Master Xuanying using her magical powers. Water without roots would not last long on dry land. If it did not rain before the water dried up, there would be no difference between staying here and staying in Pingcheng Pass.

He wanted to persuade people to leave, but he couldn't tell them the truth, so both sides were in a stalemate.

Shi Xuanying looked at him for a while before speaking slowly: "Life and death are determined by fate. Why bother trying to persuade them? Don't delay other people's journey."

Her voice was infused with spiritual power, and tens of thousands of people could hear it clearly.

General Shao hesitated for a moment, then approached her and lowered his voice, "They don't know the inside story, so it's only natural for them to make such a choice..."

"General Shao." Shi Xuanying interrupted him, "This road is a thousand miles of barren land, with no grass growing. But water sources appear out of nowhere every now and then. I think anyone would notice something unusual."

Those people just felt that they were about to reach the south, and other ideas came into their minds.

"Whether they are stupid or disobedient, it's not a big problem, but the two counties don't want to accept stupid and disobedient people, not to mention that the person who took the lead in this matter has bad intentions. Should we just withdraw the camp, or should I take the other people and leave first? You stay and continue to persuade them?"

The second half of the sentence was somewhat sarcastic, and General Shao's cheeks turned red with embarrassment.

He didn't have bad intentions, but he was about to leave the disaster area when this happened suddenly. He felt a little unhappy.

General Shao wiped his dark face, waved his hand and shouted, "Move camp!"

"General, what about the food..." the people who stayed behind asked hurriedly.

General Shao roared angrily: "I'm not your father! Get out of here!"

Seeing this, many people who were instigated quietly picked up their things and mixed into the team. Shi Xuanying saw it but didn't say anything. Shi Xuanying saved countless people along the way. Whether they were dying or suffering from illness, she treated them wholeheartedly and often gave extra meals to the elderly and children. In such a difficult journey, no one died. Therefore, many people thought that she was a bodhisattva who saved people from suffering and was their wishing well...

After this incident, her image completely collapsed.

Although what she said made sense, the casual tone she spoke at the time really made people feel inexplicably chilled.

Master Xuanying didn't care.

In troubled times, there are many people who fear power but lack virtue, not to mention that she has always advocated solving problems with force. She saves people not to create an image of a good person, but to reduce population losses, so she will continue to save people as usual in the future.

No matter what everyone thought, they became more honest and obedient afterwards.

Things were going relatively smoothly for her, but Bai Xuexing almost collapsed.

The Lancang River burst its dike in an instant, and the villages and towns closest to the dike were instantly swallowed up, killing almost all people and animals. Most of the affected people in the surrounding areas fled to nearby cities overnight, so there were not many people who really needed rescue.

Lu Xi led people to search and rescue in the flood for several days, but only rescued a few hundred people.

He remembered that Shi Xuanying said that he would take as many as possible, so after sending these people back, he led others to explore further.

Shi Xuanying had previously stored a large amount of grain in the two counties. With grain in hand, County Magistrate Cao was not panicked and everything went on in an orderly manner.

Until one day, Lu Xi suddenly sent back more than 3,000 people.

County Magistrate Cao was shocked, thinking that the flood outside was even more serious. It was not until he hurried to the river mouth and saw people that he realized something was wrong.

This group of people was completely different from the previous ones. They were all skinny and had obviously been hungry for a long time! After asking, they found out the reason. It turned out that they met a blue-clothed fairy with a big knife on their back on the road. She not only gave them food and water, but also told them that there was a secluded paradise under the jurisdiction of Huazhou.

Needless to say, that person was their county magistrate.

County Magistrate Cao immediately began to resettle the victims.

Building temporary shelters, distributing drinking water, and preventing and controlling epidemics are all tedious and complicated tasks.

However, this was not the end. Within seven or eight days, Lu Xi sent over 3,000 more people.

In fact, Shi Xuanying did not meet that many people, but word spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred, resulting in a large number of refugees coming together. In addition, people have a herd mentality, and the refugees on the road saw so many people walking firmly in one direction. After inquiring about the situation, many people followed them to seek a way to survive.

"Master Lu! There are too many people, no need to send any more!" County Magistrate Cao hurriedly dissuaded him.

Lu Xi was not willing to listen. He only listened to Master Xuanying saying that the more the better.

Unable to stop it, County Magistrate Cao had no choice but to lead his men to work all night long.

The victims were temporarily resettled, but what he was most worried about happened - an epidemic broke out in the resettlement area.

In both the north and south, people died of drought and floods. These people who suffered from drought and could only count drops of water every day could not resist the temptation of water when they arrived in the south!

They drank dirty water and ate rotten corpses in the dry land. When they passed through the flood-stricken area of ​​the Lancang River, there were corpses floating everywhere and the water was even dirtier. How could they not get sick after drinking that water!
County Magistrate Cao quickly sent people to Linxi County to ask Bai Xuexing for help.

Bai Xuexing was a medical practitioner, so dealing with the epidemic was no problem for him. He dropped all the things he was doing, and rushed over with dozens of mystics. They worked day and night for several days, and finally controlled the spread of the epidemic.

Before they could catch their breath, Lu Xi sent over 5,000 more men.

Cao Yu wanted to cry but had no tears: "Master, please save me!"

"Master!" Dongfang Zhentian rushed in, "Go back to Linxi County quickly. Piaoyun County and Linxi County are fighting over grain!"

Bai Xuexing's head was buzzing and the Buddhist beads in his hand were almost sparking.
