Chapter 179 Water Cloud Smoke

In the southeast of Jingzhou, there is a small border country called Su State.

Just like its name, Su Country is a thoroughly agricultural country. Because it is located in the center of the basin, it has a fertile valley plain, which is a natural spiritual field.

The cultivated spiritual rice, medicinal herbs and other materials are rich in yield, high in quality and low in price, and have always been loved by major sects and aristocratic families.

The Su Kingdom also relied on the export of spiritual rice to gain a foothold. It is one of the very few small countries in Jingzhou that can retain a certain degree of sovereignty. The Su Kingdom does not have an army and actively trades with the immortal world, thus gaining recognition from many parties. Therefore, in a certain respect, the Su Kingdom is more

Like a large farm, not a country.

But in recent years, the climate in Su Country has become increasingly weird.

Every year summer comes earlier and earlier, and the weather gets hotter and hotter. Later, it even presents an extreme situation where the weather is hot all year round.

Severe droughts continued for years, crop yields were reduced, even spiritual rice could not grow, and large-scale famine broke out.

There are legends that demons and demons are causing trouble in the country of Su. However, due to lack of military strength, the country of Su has no choice but to ask for help from major sects and aristocratic families.

The Yunyang Sect, which is the closest, and some aristocratic families, in order to continue to steadily acquire spiritual rice, paid great attention to it and sent their disciples to investigate, but in the end nothing abnormal was found. In the end, it was attributed to the volcanic eruption under the Su Kingdom.

, geological changes, which lead to abnormal climate here, are beyond human control.

The investigation eventually came to nothing.

The drought in Su Country is also becoming more and more serious.

Su Chen took Kunluo Yujian and traveled with him. When he arrived at Su Country, he saw nothing but desolation along the way. The vegetation was scorched and withered, the earth was cracked, and the rivers were dry and dry. What he saw was a doomsday scene.

Skeletons and corpses can be seen everywhere on the roadside.

The only common people, all with sallow faces and thin bodies, supported each other and walked step by step towards the border of Su Country.

Years of drought have left them with no harvest. In order to survive, people have to leave their homes and the land where they grew up.

"The drought in Su Country is more serious than imagined. If it is just geological changes that affect the climate, volcanic eruptions, etc., it will only be in a certain area and not so large. This is obviously a demon causing trouble, Yunyang

Since the people of the sect have investigated, it is impossible that they have not discovered it, but for some reason, they did not interfere. Is it because the struggle in the Dali Dynasty has diverted too much energy, so they do not want to interfere with the life and death of the Su Kingdom? "

Su Chen shook his head.

He didn't come here to save the world and the people.

According to the secret information on the animal skin scroll left by Liang Pu, the place where the heat wave first came was a volcano in the Su Kingdom. There were traces of evil spirits brewing there. It was probably some kind of monster that had the help of something.

Fire magic items are practicing.

If you can get it, you can get fire-based materials to strengthen and nourish Jianggong's heart.

certainly.

A strange object that can affect such a large area, and the monsters it spawns, are probably anything but ordinary.

If it was easier to deal with, Yunyang Sect would have taken action long ago. There may be another reason why they stood idly by.

Su Chen would not rush over to slay demons rashly.

"It's better to go over and take a look at the situation first. If you're sure, it's not too late to take action. But if the demon is too strong and the risk is too high, then you can only give up and try again to find suitable pill-forming materials."

While thinking, Su Chen's figure flickered and turned into sword light.

Heading towards the south of Su Country, a place called Hongshi Mountain.

Rumor has it that the Red Rock Mountain was the place where the high temperature first broke out. Through spiritual perception, it was the source of all heat waves.

This Hongshi Mountain was originally just one of the few mountainous areas in the Su Kingdom.

The rocks on the mountain are unique and appear dark red in color, hence the name.

Su Chen flew all the way south, and the closer he got, the hotter the climate became. The villages and towns along the way were in ruins, and only a handful of people were left to survive. Young people with the ability had already passed through various

After leaving this scorching land, only the old, weak, sick and disabled are left, dazed in the deserted fields, or wandering like zombies in the desolate mountains, hoping to find some food.

and water sources…

"Natural disasters and man-made disasters are catastrophes that all mortals must go through. Alas, although I have compassion and mercy, I do not have the power to reach heaven and cannot help them."

Su Chen shook his head.

Over the years, he has experienced too much and seen even more tragic situations.

In the face of such a large-scale natural disaster, what one person can do is very limited. After all, he is just a foundation-building monk now and does not have the ability to control the wind and rain.

If there is a way to get rid of the source of the evil spirit on the Red Rock Mountain, perhaps we can find a way for these people to survive.

"Hey, there seems to be a flickering figure in front of you, and the refugees around you are all gathering over there..."

Su Chen suddenly noticed that there was a flickering light in the village ahead.

It seems like someone is casting a spell.

There were many refugees from the Su Kingdom around, all of them gathered in that direction.

"Quick, the fairy has taken action to fetch the divine water from the sky for us. We can survive..."

"Walk faster, kid, hold on, there will be water to drink soon, you won't die, you won't die..."

Countless refugees staggered to the entrance of the village with support.

I saw a woman in blue, sitting cross-legged on a dry well, with water waves flowing around her body, and spiritual energy radiating out. She was holding a huge jade bead in her hand. When the magic power was activated, rays of brilliance surged, and in the dry well

, the gurgling water suddenly gushes out, sweet and clear...

There were two female disciples from the Qi Refining Realm accompanying him. They were scooping out the spring water from the well with ladles and distributing it in an orderly manner to the refugees who came after hearing the news.

A bowl of water cannot solve their disaster.

But it is enough to allow these people to live temporarily and see a little hope of survival.

"Thank you fairy! Fairy is compassionate..."

"Living Bodhisattva, living Bodhisattva, fairy, please accept the little old man's worship!"

"My child, please kowtow to the fairy. This is the gift of survival..."

The people who got the water were so grateful that they knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the woman in blue.

When the two female disciples next to them saw this, they both had proud and proud expressions on their faces. They were obviously very useful to the crowds of these mortals. However, the woman in blue had a calm expression and did not make any response. She just tried her best to

He activated his magic power and used the jade beads in his hands to convert as much well water as possible, because there were more refugees outside and were coming here.

"That jade bead seems to be a top-quality magic weapon. It can actually be transformed into pure water through magic power. It should also be related to the technique this woman practices."

Su Chen looked far into the sky.

To be honest, when he saw the woman in blue spending her magic power to transform well water to save people, he couldn't help but think of Hu Biluo when he was in Nanman.

At that time, she was just starting out, unaware of the dangers of the world, and yet she was so sincere.

But the difference is that the woman in blue in front of her is obviously more advanced and has reached the middle stage of foundation building.

only.

Compared to the refugees in this land with a radius of hundreds of miles, her magic power is also limited, and the well water she refines can only be said to be a drop in the bucket.

However, Su Chen admired the other party's kind deeds.

After all, people who can cultivate to the middle stage of foundation building are obviously no longer rookies in cultivating immortals. They have seen too many intrigues and intrigues, and they can still maintain such a kind heart. This is indeed rare.

Even if such a move cannot fundamentally solve the drought in Su Country, it can be regarded as a feeling of guilt if it can save one person after another.

As the woman cast spells, the well gradually overflowed, and more and more refugees gathered.

At this time, the mana light on the woman in blue dimmed, and it seemed that she could no longer maintain it, so she had to restrain her magical power.

And when she restrained her magic power, the well water actually flowed away at a speed visible to the naked eye, because the surrounding strata had long dried up, the vegetation had withered, and the water could not be locked in. Even if the well was full, it would be filled with water in half an hour at most.

The soil absorbs the water. As a result, the subsequent refugees who did not arrive may not even be able to drink a sip of water.

The woman in blue watched the well water drain away, but there was nothing she could do.

There's only so much she can do.

"No, this is life-saving water..."

"Quick, pretend more."

"God, can't you have mercy on us? Finally, a fairy helped us get water, don't let it dry up like this..."

The refugees looked at the water that was constantly draining from the well, and they all wanted to cry without tears.

And at this time.

Suddenly, a ray of magic light fell from the sky, and the rich vitality spread out.

Everyone screamed and backed away.

Then I saw a magical scene:

I saw that the withered vegetation around the ancient well came back to life under the nourishment of this magical power. The grass roots buried in the soil revived, the grass seeds sprouted, and soon they turned into tender temples that emerged from the ground.

Suddenly lush and green.

At the same time, the earth energy in the bottom layer gathered together and formed a blockade, sealing off the bottom of the well.
