In ancient times, he became a god in the mountains.

Hearing the promise of Huowa and Shuiwa, Li Danian kowtowed excitedly.

"Thank you, two fairy children!"

When he looked up, the two fairies were no longer in sight. They came and went without a trace. It was truly the work of gods. Li Danian felt it was unbelievable. Did he actually see gods?

The immortal also promised to help him solve the epidemic in the town. Li Danian excitedly walked to his parents' room, intending to tell his parents who were seriously ill and bedridden the good news.

"father!"

"mother!"

"I, I, I... I met a god, and the god promised me that he would help us solve the epidemic!" Li Danian panted heavily and spoke incoherently with joy.

"We are finally going to get rid of the plague!" Li Danian cried and laughed.

Mr. and Mrs. Li were also infected with the disease.

As they get older, it becomes difficult for the old couple to get out of bed.

When the two elders heard what their son said, they expressed their disbelief.

"Da Nian, there are no gods in this world. If there really were gods, how could we be so miserable, with drought and epidemics? Alas! God doesn't want us to live!" After saying this, Father Li began to cough weakly.

Mother Li's face turned pale: "Da Nian, your father is right. We can only wait for death."

The imperial court refused to send anyone to treat the illness, and the county magistrate did not say anything either. They had already determined that Ping'an Town had been abandoned, and the only fate of the people in the town was to learn to accept their fate.

Knowing that they wouldn't believe him, Li Danian told his parents the whole story of his encounter with the fairy boy.

"Dad! Mom! I really didn't lie to you. You heard someone knocking on the door just now. I opened the door and suddenly saw two snow-white and chubby children. When I thought about the three years of drought and the lack of food and clothing for everyone, how could such a blessed child come from? They must be monsters."

"I ran away, but the girl outside the door blocked my way in the blink of an eye. I thought she was going to eat me, so I quickly knelt down and begged for mercy. She waved her hand in the air and I stood up."

"They introduced themselves as the boys under the seat of the Golden Saint Goddess, the mountain spirit of the Golden Saint Mountain Range. Because the Goddess saw that there was a disaster in our Ping'an Town, she sent them to investigate the situation."

"That is to say, there are two fairy children in our family!"

"They asked about the situation in the town, and I told them everything I knew. The fairy boy pressed his hand on me, and I felt that the pain brought by the plague was much relieved."

"Dad and Mom, listen, my child's speech is not as hoarse and unpleasant as it has been in the past few days, and it is almost the same as before the epidemic."

“This is the power of the gods.”

"They said that once we report the situation in the town to the Golden Saint Goddess, the merciful Goddess will help us solve the epidemic problem."

Anticipation, excitement, and enthusiasm, Li Danian had so many feelings in his heart that he was unable to express them.

Father Li was surprised and said, "It sounds true. Your voice has really improved a lot."

"Of course, Dad."

“Ah! Wuuwuwu—”

Suddenly, a loud cry was heard.

It turned out that it was Li's mother who was crying. She was crying so heartbreakingly, as if her heart was broken.

"Mom, why are you crying?" Li Danian was confused. None of the people he had seen fairies were so excited. Could it be that his mother believed what he said, believed that the fairies would save them, and cried for joy?

Apparently he misunderstood.

"My son! You said that you feel much better, even your dry and hoarse voice is gone. You also talked nonsense about gods. These are obviously the characteristics of a last burst of vitality!" Mother Li cried and explained the reason.

"What?!" Father Li sat up straight from the bed: "Final ecstasy?"

After thinking about it, his son's behavior really seemed like a last burst of energy. He subconsciously thought more about it and his face turned pale.

He was in a panic: "He is the only child of our Li family. When we were conscripting soldiers during the war, I would rather pay a hundred taels of silver than let my son die. He survived the three years of drought. Could it be that God wants to cut off the incense of our Li family now?"

Thinking that everyone in the town was going to die, his son was no exception.

But the thought that their son would die before them made them feel so sad that they couldn't express it in words.

Do they have to experience the heart-wrenching pain of seeing a loved one die?

"Oh my God! How can I live like this?" Old man Li collapsed mentally.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

"Bang, bang, bang." The two old people banged the bed with their hands and cried bitterly.

"Dad and Mom! Oh, what are you thinking about?"

Li Danian was speechless. He was obviously getting better soon, but in front of his parents, he seemed to be buried.

He really wanted to shout:

You really misunderstood!

"Don't be afraid, my son. Your parents will go with you." Mother Li wiped her tears with her sleeves.

"When we reach heaven and hell, we will still be a family," echoed Old Man Li.

Li Danian had a terrible headache. He couldn't tell his parents. They could only believe what he said after they saw the two fairy children with their own eyes.

"My willow coffin was bought when our family was prosperous. It was originally intended for my burial a hundred years later. Now I'll use it for the New Year. You can just throw it away when I die." His son was in his last moments of life, and Father Li felt that he would not be able to use it for a few more days. He had no choice but to bury his head and cry.

Li Danian: “…”

Huowa and Shuiwa went to Qingchan Temple.

The entrance to Qingchan Temple was cold and silent, with no sound of birds or insects. The temple looked desolate and dilapidated due to the epidemic. The gate was covered with cobwebs and the surroundings were covered with dust. It was desolate and silent.

"Look!"

Shuiwa made a shocked sound.

Huo Wa looked in the direction of her finger and frowned instantly: "Is this a holy place of Buddhism that saves all living beings, or a hell on earth filled with ghosts?"

I saw that the ghostly aura above Qingchan Temple was even more intense than in the town. The stench and smell of decay filled the air. The cold feeling was as if one was in an icy hell. The lonely temple was like a giant beast lying prone, which made people shudder.

Shuiwa asked, "Should we go in?"

Huo Wa thought: "The Queen told us not to act rashly without finding out the other party's strength. Let's go in secretly and take a look. I hope we won't alarm the ghosts inside."

"I suspect that the abbot was refining ghosts. He let the ghost energy leak out and was inhaled into the bodies of the townspeople. The breath of the living was dispersed by the ghost energy, so a strange disease similar to the plague occurred." Shuiwa analyzed.

"What you said makes sense."

The two kids flew into Qingchan Temple.

It's like hell outside, and it's even more hell inside.

Who could have imagined that such a sacred Buddhist place would be covered in blood and body parts, as if a massacre had just happened not long ago.

The scene was so horrific that it cannot be described in words.

The smell of blood and decay attracted strange black birds, which pecked at the flesh and blood on the ground in groups, making satisfied sounds in their throats. If this scene was seen by a mortal, it would surely become a lifelong shadow in that mortal's heart.

"what!"

A terrible scream was heard. The Fire Boy and the Water Boy hid their bodies and headed towards the direction where the scream came from.

"A mass grave in the back hills!"
