Chapter 2352: Ah Qi (1) Chapter 2352: Ah Qi (1) Song qingxiao didn't blend in with this world like the previous two times. The third time, she was rejected by this world and became a passer-by.
The thin child's arms passed through her calves and hugged the old man who was on the verge of death.
The old man was obviously on the verge of death, but because there was still something in his heart, he was holding on to his breath and refused to let it go.
the eminent monks in the heavenly Dao temple have strong magic power. They said that there are two days every month when they will give out medicine …
The child carried the elderly man's head and said with hope, ”
“Grandpa, it will be our turn soon.”
As he spoke, song Qing turned his head.
Under her feet, there was a long stone staircase that was at least a hundred steps long. On each stone step, there were a large number of devout believers of the heavenly Dao temple lying or kneeling.
These people had unkempt hair and Dirty Faces, and were so thin that they were all skin and bones.
Flies were flying around them, but these people had numb faces, like The Walking Dead.
They were dressed in rags, looking dirty and down-and-out, many of them with festering wounds. It was a stark contrast to the clean and majestic image of the heavenly Dao temple, as if it was some unpresentable filth hidden under the temple.
“Grandpa … Don't leave me … I only have you left …”
The child pleaded softly and lowered his head, pressing it against the old man's shriveled face.
This sentence seemed to have aroused the old man's desire to live, causing his gray pupils to contract. He took a deep breath and coughed a few times. After coughing out a large mouthful of phlegm, he suddenly became much more spirited.
The child, who had been very scared earlier, revealed a trace of surprise when he saw this scene. He used his finger to wipe the corner of the old man's mouth.
it's almost our turn, it's almost our turn …
The flies that had stopped on the grandfather-grandson duo were startled by their actions and scattered in all directions, looking for other hosts.
Song qingxiao's gaze swept across the stone steps. This grandfather and grandson duo were only one of the countless believers who had stopped here.
The People's lives seemed to be getting more and more difficult.
Perhaps it was because they were in front of the temple, but even though they were all hungry, cold, and sick, no one dared to cry out in pain for fear of disturbing the Buddha.
As the grandfather-grandson duo spoke softly, song Qing's consciousness moved.
She heard several footsteps coming from the temple.
There were also a few men talking. A man who sounded older said, ”
the disasters this year seem to be more than in previous years.
the flooding of the great river last year flooded many towns and fertile fields, causing many people to flee to shengdu in the hope of being blessed by the Imperial Qi.
sigh … the other voice, which seemed to have been smoked, heaved a long sigh when he heard this.
“Right? This water disaster caused the Imperial court to collect insufficient taxes last year. I heard that the county magistrate of daoliang County killed dozens of unruly citizens before he could barely collect the tasks set by the Imperial court.”
“Hmph,” he snorted. A slightly shrill young man's voice rang out, ”
“These unruly people are just lowly in nature, deceiving the upper and the lower.”
“They keep saying that there's no food and almost missed the temple's tribute, but in the end, they immediately brought out food. It can be seen that these people are crafty, and they need labor and whipping to be honest.”
The others laughed, and the elder who spoke first said, ”
“However, if this continues, I'm afraid the problem will become serious.”
“Senior brother Qinghe, what do you mean?” The man with the Smoky voice couldn't help but ask after hearing what the elder said.
The others also held their breaths and listened to the elder say, ”
you also know that since the birth of the devil fetus, the fate energy of the dynasty began to dry up.
The person called 'senior martial brother Qinghe' didn't refuse when asked. He opened his mouth and said with a slightly proud tone,
fortunately, Buddha has blessed us. Five years ago, the Emperor used the Dragon plate to perform divination and set up a great formation. He finally calculated the location of the devil fetus and captured it.
As soon as she heard that 'seven' was involved, song qingxiao's expression became serious. She released her divine sense to capture the people who were talking, and her figure flickered, appearing in front of them.
These were a few fat monks in gray robes. They were walking from a corridor to the main hall of the temple.
When song qingxiao appeared in front of them, the monks did not sense that someone had appeared beside them because they were not part of this world. They heard their conversation.
