Jiang Liu and the others walked forward for about 100 miles before stopping.

It's not that Jiang Liu and the others don't want to go any further, but if they go forward, there is no way out.

As far as the eye can see, there is a large landscape, and occasionally one or two relatively tall buildings, at this time, you can still see a little roof exposed on the water.

It's flooded, and the entire Nandou City has been flooded.

This is not just words, but facts.

"It's so miserable......" Looking at all this in front of him, Jiang Liu's heart murmured secretly.

Although I have already learned the truth of the matter from the words of the golden retriever, the understanding in the words is completely different from what I have seen with my own eyes.

On paper, I finally feel shallow, and I never know that I have to do it!

"Okay, seeing all this in front of me, it seems that there is more reason to kill the Immortal Emperor!" Looking at this tragic scene in front of him, the anger in Jiang Liu's heart became even more intense.

"Wukong, you summoned the land, ask where the people have gone if this Nandou City has been flooded?" After a moment of silence, Jiang Liu immediately opened his mouth and asked Sun Wukong beside him.

Yes, as far as the eye can see, the entire Nandou City is almost completely flooded by the rain, but where have all these people of Nandou City gone?

Now I haven't seen a single one.

"Okay, Master!" Sun Wukong next to him reached out to wipe the rain from his face and nodded.

As he spoke, his feet stomped in the mud, and at the same time, his mouth whispered: "Where is the land!?"

With Sun Wukong's words, the land cracked, and in an instant, the same wet land came out from under the ground, and saluted Jiang Liu and others respectively: "I have seen the holy monk, I have seen the great sage!"

"Dare to ask the land, where is the boundary here, why is this scene in front of you?"

Although Jiang Liu's heart is like a mirror, but the play that should be played still has to be performed, pretending not to know, Jiang Liu asked.

"Holy monk, this is the boundary of Nandou City, in the past month, Nandou City has been pouring rain for a month, as you can see, the entire Nandou City in front of you has been flooded, as for why this is so, the little god doesn't know!"

Not only was the land lord wet, but even the gray beard and hair could be wrung out of water, and he replied with a shake of his head.

Jiang Liu was not surprised by the land lord's answer, whether he really didn't know or fake, it didn't matter to him.

"Oh, I see, do you know where the people of Nandou City have gone?" Jiang Liu's face was full of surprise, and he immediately asked the land lord.

"Alas, the heavy rain of the past few days has caused the river to burst its banks, and many people have been buried in the waves, and those who have survived have left one after another!" Hearing Jiang Liu's inquiry, the land lord shook his head and sighed.

Yes, if it were something else, it might still be able to stand up.

But when the flood hit, if you don't leave, you can only be drowned, so the people of Nandou City are dying and fleeing.

"And ......" said this, and the land lord looked like he wanted to speak and stopped.

"And what, don't you hurry up and say something?" Sun Wukong next to him couldn't help but ask when he saw the appearance of the land lord who wanted to speak and stopped.

"Moreover, when the flood struck, it also caused the plague and killed a large number of people, and these people who fled out, alas, ......" Finally, the land lord did not continue, but left a long sigh.

This sentence made Jiang Liu's heart sink even more.

The flood overwhelmed everything, and the catastrophe naturally led to famine.

As the saying goes, people are iron, rice is steel, and if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry and panic, and a group of people will naturally die of famine.

Now, there is still a plague!?

Floods, famines, pestilences!

After this triple blow, the people of the entire Nandou City must have been devastated.

What's even more terrifying is that if these people infected with the plague spread completely, the consequences will be unimaginable!

"Land Lord, dare to ask those people who escaped from this Nandou City, where have most of them gone now!?" his face was a little gloomy, and immediately, Jiang Liu opened his mouth and asked, if you want to save more people, you must quickly find those who are infected with the plague and treat them as soon as possible.

"Returning to the holy monks, those people who fled have fled to the north! Because of the drought in the north, it rarely rains!" Hearing Jiang Liu's inquiry, the land replied openly.

"Have you fled to the north, disciples, let's go!" nodded, Jiang Liu didn't say anything, and beckoned Sun Wukong and said.

The white dragon horse naturally understood Jiang Liu's intentions, and after Jiang Liu shouted, the white dragon horse directly opened his hooves and ran to the north, very fast.

Following Jiang Liu's body, Sun Wukong and his three apprentices naturally followed at a trott.

Sitting on the back of the white dragon horse, Jiang Liu's heart was heavy, although the greater the suffering of the people of Nandou City, the easier it was for him to achieve the goal.

However, this ease is based on the suffering of countless people, and Jiang Liu does not want that!

"Alas, the human race, although it is said that it is the protagonist of heaven and earth, but it is still too difficult to live in such an environment, right?"

Demons and monsters, a world where ghosts and ghosts are rampant, you can't guarantee that you will be attacked by demons.

And the immortals and Buddhas are not good characters, they regard life as grass mustard, and they look high, and sacrifice tens of thousands of human races for a little selfish gain without blinking.

Jiang Liu's face was silent, but deep down his heart was full of anger brewing.

Sun Wukong didn't say a word, but following Jiang Liu's side, they could more or less feel the suppressed anger of the master in their hearts.

This kind of calm daring under the storm made Sun Wukong and them feel depressed, and at the same time, they could also understand that Master was really angry.

"Master, about a hundred miles or so further on, we will be there!"

Although Sun Wukong is the shortest, he is the fastest, running in the front to take the lead, and after looking at it with golden eyes, he said with a look of surprise.

"Wukong, what's the situation ahead?" Seeing Sun Wukong's look of surprise, Jiang Liu asked.

"That's right, Master, my grandson found that those exiled people had all stopped in a village and town a hundred miles away, and they didn't go any further north!"

"It's just that many people in this village and town seem to be infected with the plague......" Hearing Jiang Liu's inquiry, Sun Wukong replied.

"Oh?" Hearing Sun Wukong's words, Jiang Liu's brows raised slightly, with a look of surprise on his face.

It is not surprising that these people who escaped from Nandou City would infect many people with the plague.

Even, I feel that all this is within my expectations.

However, these people, after arriving at a village or town, all stopped and did not continue to flee?

What's going on?

Jiang Liu's heart was a little surprised, but he didn't say anything, everything, let's rush to that village and town.

The journey of 100 miles is naturally not a long distance for Jiang Liu and others who are in a hurry.

It took half an hour for Jiang Liu and the others to come to a town.

Jiang Liu looked at this town, it was not very big, but it housed a lot of people, many poorly clothed refugees, crowded in this town.

Some of them were already lying on the ground, breathless, apparently sick and dead.

Several people dug a pit with numb expressions and buried the corpse, looking at the expressions of these people, it seemed that they were not surprised by this scene.

Some women sat down against a wall, holding a baby in their arms, gently patting the baby, and humming a lullaby in their mouths.

The baby in the arms did not cry or make a fuss, and many flies surrounded the baby, and the baby had been out of breath for many days, and the smell of corpses had begun to emit from his body.

There were also many people, with weak expressions, lying on the ground, staring blankly at the sky, as if quietly waiting for their death.

If all this is the only thing in front of us, then this township is like a purgatory on earth.

However, in this scene of purgatory on earth, Jiang Liu also saw a scene that seemed to be heaven on earth.

Some people are obviously sick and cough incessantly, but some elderly people invite the patient home to rest.

The patient shook his head and refused the invitation to enter, not wanting to spread his plague to the well-wishers.

Some people cook food, leaving only a small part for themselves, and taking out the rest for others to eat.

What shocked Jiang Liu the most was that in the northernmost part of the township, a few simple branches had built a guardrail that obviously had no protective power, blocking everyone's way north.

On the edge of the guardrail, an old monk with a gray beard and a gray monk's robe was sitting quietly, chanting Buddhist scriptures in a low voice, saying the essence of Buddhism to persuade people to be good.

It's just that, looking at the appearance of this old monk, he kept coughing in his mouth, and he was obviously sick.

But behind him, a strip of cloth was pulled open, and a sentence was written on it: Please pass on the kindness.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Liu's heart was very shaken.

And this also made Jiang Liu understand why these people stayed in the village and town and did not leave.

Is it this old monk who persuaded everyone to stay and not to flee north again to infect others?

"Outlanders, get out of here quickly!"

Just when Jiang Liu and the others came to the township and were about to walk in, the two old men at the gate blocked Jiang Liu and the others and persuaded them.

"Yes, many of the people in our town have been infected with the plague, so get out of here!" explained another old man.

Maybe it's because he has long looked down on life and death, so even when he saw Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing, who were walking with him like demons, the two old men didn't look like they were fleeing in panic.
