Becoming an Immortal from the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 93 Relief
Outside Lin'an City, a group of hundreds of horse-drawn carriages walked slowly.

Lu Liang's chief disciple, Lu Zhixin, was sitting on the carriage, looking at the lifeless and desolate scene before him, he couldn't help but sigh: "The people's livelihood is so hard..."

A Taoist from the Longevity Sect came forward and said, "Brother, why did such a severe famine suddenly break out in Lin'an City? Why didn't the government come to rescue the disaster, but you need to rely on me to distribute food here?"

Lu Zhixin sighed: "Government? There was a disaster in Lin'an the year before last, and they have already rescued it once. Now they can't manage here for a while. They heard that there were rebels on Hexi Road, and their energy is focused on there. Right now Only we have the ability to save these victims."

"But this flood has affected dozens of counties, large and small, and the number of victims is at least [-]. Where can I get so much food to help them?"

Lu Zhixin patted the little Taoist on the back of the head with a smile and said: "We are the true immortals, so naturally we have to rely on the magic of the immortal family to save the world."

"I know that you kid asks this and that, but it's really itchy. If you want to see the fairy art, I'll let you learn more about it!"

Standing on the front of the carriage, Lu Zhixin took out a dusty cloth bag from his arms.

Afterwards, he bit his fingertips, tapped on a yellow talisman, and respectfully saluted the bag: "Please open the bag, baby."

The storage bag flashed gray, and a bag of food was spit out and fell into the carriage.

The little Taoist was stunned for a while, and cheered loudly: "Senior brother is really amazing, to have such a treasure from the fairy family by his side!"

Lu Zhixin sighed, put the storage bag back on his waist and said, "This is the natal magic weapon of the Taoist Master, and it is just borrowed from me temporarily."

"For this disaster relief, in addition to allocating [-] civilians to escort food from various places, in order to prevent the victims from being seriously injured, the head teacher Daozi specially gave me this storage bag that can store everything, in which there are [-] A hundred catties of grain can barely sustain the lives of these victims for another two days."

"Fifteen hundred catties? That's too little..." the little Taoist said dully.

Lu Zhixin patted him on the back of the head and cursed with a smile: "Of course it's more than that. Hearing that Lin'an was hit by a disaster, the head teacher Daozi and my master have already left the teaching one step ahead of time, and we rushed to this place several days in advance."

"Now my master and the others should be raising food, and then sending people to allocate the early disaster relief food into the disaster area. At best, we are a pioneer, responsible for informing the victims in various places that if they suffer for a while, there will be follow-up food supplies."

"So that's how it is..." The little Taoist nodded thoughtfully, and happily sat on the carriage and said: "Then we have made such a merit, wouldn't we be able to remember a great merit from the immortal!"

"You boy!" Lu Zhixin nodded his forehead and said with a smile: "The manpower was summoned by the head teacher, and the food was purchased with the funds allocated by the head teacher. Even this treasure that hangs the lives of the victims is the magic weapon of the head teacher. You and I are It’s all about being responsible for doing things, where does such a great merit come from?”

"The head teacher is naturally a sage, but you and I are also disciples of a sage."

The two laughed for a while, and as the team gradually penetrated into the hinterland of the disaster area, the laughter gradually became quieter.

Lu Zhixin looked at the dead bodies in the village with red eyes, and murmured, "Come on... it's a step too late, is there still life left in this village?"

A group of Taoists who were in charge of searching for survivors cupped their hands and said, "We... have never seen anyone who is still breathing."

"...Let's go to the next village." Lu Zhixin sat back on the carriage in a daze, and the team started moving again.

The little Taoist no longer had the slightest smile on his face. He gritted his teeth and looked at the corpses that appeared on the road from time to time, with a trace of puzzlement in his tone: "Senior brother, why...don't go to Lin'an City to seek a way out of starvation... ?”

Lu Zhixin shook his head: "Junior Brother, it's not that they don't want to go, but that wherever there is a famine, the government will definitely suppress it vigorously, and large-scale gatherings of people are not allowed."

"Presumably at this moment in Lin'an City, there is already a large army ready to be strangled and starved to death."

"For them, there is no difference between dying here and dying under the city of Lin'an. What's more, this is their hometown. It is better to die in their hometown than to bury their bones in a different place."

The little Taoist nodded his head half-understood, but didn't say a word.

Outside Huangjia Village, the sound of the axle turning gradually awakened Huangzhou. He got up from the ground in a panic and limped towards the door.

A team of dozens of carriages came into view, and hundreds of priests in Taoist robes stood around, without the slightest murderous look in their eyes, they just looked at the victims in the surrounding area with pity.

"We are believers of the Longevity Sect. We are ordered by the Immortal and Taoist Zhang to come here to help those in need. If you can still walk, please line up and come here to receive relief food!"

Seven or eight Taoists held strange tools rolled into a thin front section and thick rear end, shouting continuously along the village.

Another person who seemed to be in charge waved at Huangzhou.

'He, call me again? '

Huang Zhou threw away his leg bones in disbelief, and slowly approached the convoy, when the Taoist said to him, "Are you a citizen of this village?"

"……Yes."

"Do you know where the well in the village is? We need some clean water to cook porridge for the villagers."

"If you come back to Immortal Elder, please follow me."

Seeing this skinny young man with clear eyes, Lu Zhixin inexplicably felt a little fond of him, so he waved his hand and said to the little Taoist: "Junior brother, please send a few people to go with this little brother."

"Yes, brother."

Huangzhou's eyes burst out with enthusiasm. When he noticed that the Taoists began to carry food from the carriage, he confirmed that these people were the real disaster relief team.

They are not bandits and tyrants in the mountains, nor are they soldiers from the imperial court who come to kill good deeds.

You can rest assured.

Hundreds of Taoists methodically started to build the stove, light the fire, and boil the water.

Lu Zhixin stopped the Taoist who was about to pour rice into the water, and said: "Wait a minute, the head teacher said that there will be plagues after the floods, let me get rid of one or two."

The hundreds of remaining villagers in Huangjia Village stared blankly at him as he took out a yellow paper talisman from his pocket, lit it with fire, and muttered: "Flesh and blood are painful, immortality ascends, immortals bless you, sickness! "

A light blue luster emanated from the burnt talisman, sweeping over the bodies of everyone present.

Many villagers who have recently started to have a fever were surprised and delighted to find that their high fever is rapidly fading, and their eyes can see clearly!

"This is a fairy!"

The villagers were so excited that they fell to their knees and kowtowed to Lu Zhixin.

Huangzhou's forehead was broken, and his expression was extremely fanatical.

He remembered the origins of these Taoists.

The Longevity Cult is exactly the true immortal orthodoxy that the master once said!
