Two Worlds: I Became an Immortal

Chapter 15 Merit
Outside Dongyang County.

Countless refugees are heading towards Dongyang County. Since they learned a few days ago that Dongyang County has disaster relief food every day, these refugees have come here upon hearing the news.

In this situation, it is very difficult to get something to eat.

Having something to eat means being able to survive, and they are really afraid of the feeling of hunger.

Among these refugees, there was a small figure that did not seem to attract attention.

There were so many refugees that no one cared about who was in the team. But if someone paid attention, they would notice that the eyes of this figure were shiny black.

With such bright eyes, he doesn't look like he is hungry.

"Sure enough, Dongyang County is so popular. The county magistrate here is really honest and upright. It was clearly just a dead city before, but now it is so popular."

"It seems that this county magistrate has accumulated some merits. Now that the heavenly calamity is approaching, if I serve him well for a few decades and eliminate some disasters for him, the heavenly calamity may be alleviated a lot after I leave."

At this moment, the bright pupils looked ahead towards Dongyang County, appearing extremely delighted.

As a demon, it is essential to survive the tribulation.

It’s just that it’s extremely difficult for a demon to survive the tribulation, and the path of cultivation is also too difficult. She has been practicing with difficulty until now and now she has to face the power of the heavenly tribulation again.

After traveling all over the country, she accidentally learned from some bits and pieces that when monsters like them are facing the coming of heavenly calamity, they can hide beside people with meritorious deeds to delay the coming of the calamity.

If they have merits, heavenly calamity will not befall them.

By relying on such a clever method and serving a virtuous person for decades, perhaps the power of the natural calamity can be alleviated.

At worst, you can practice peacefully during these decades to cope with the heavenly calamity that will come.

However, it is very difficult to find people with good deeds, and good deeds are not something that a small fairy like her can see.

After much thought, I decided to rely on the old method to find it.

In a world so plagued by disasters, I think some merits must have come from those honest and upright officials, or from kind-hearted people who often open their rice warehouses to help the victims.

However, even with such a goal in mind, it is still difficult to find.

For example, there were rumors outside that some great philanthropist often opened his granary to help disaster victims, but she secretly observed that behind the scenes these so-called great philanthropists were actually committing some heinous crimes.

If she really wanted to serve such a "good man", she would be afraid that the heavenly calamity would strike her and the good man as soon as she entered.

Or maybe she also found some court officials who came down to provide disaster relief, but it turned out that these officials colluded secretly and embezzled a huge amount of money.

After searching again and again, she still didn't find anyone she thought had good deeds, so she was naturally anxious.

Fortunately, while mixing among the refugees, I heard that Dongyang County was continuously providing disaster relief. After returning with the mentality of giving it a try, I found that Dongyang County was indeed different.

Back then, I traveled all over the country trying to find a way to deal with the natural disaster, and I also came to Dongyang County.

When I saw Dongyang County at that time, the place was already littered with bones.

After confirming that there must be good people with good deeds here, Jiang Wenshu felt happy and took small steps to Dongyang County.

At this moment, she had already begun to think about how to get close to him so that she could serve him for decades. However, she still needed to observe him secretly for some time.

Don't misjudge the person, or you will be in trouble if you end up getting involved.

"All victims should go to the east gate. There is free porridge there. You have been hungry for a long time and you cannot eat too much at once. Wash your hands before going there. There is water there for washing hands!"

Shouts were heard continuously at this time, and there were yamen runners on the side maintaining order and watching over the victims who came.

It is important to be careful at this time, otherwise some people will see the food and start snatching it.

When a group of disaster victims washed their hands and came to the east gate, they discovered that the refugees who had received porridge nearby had bowls full of white rice porridge.

Even from a distance, you can still smell the rich aroma of porridge.

The smell of this fragrance made many refugees' Adam's apples move up and down, and their eyes were filled with hope.

"Is this the relief porridge from Dongyang County? It's even thicker than the porridge given by the kind-hearted Lin!"

"That porridge doesn't seem to have any sand or anything like that mixed in, and it looks like polished rice. Isn't that something that only grown men can eat?"

Speaking of this, several refugees kept swallowing their saliva.

Perhaps because they would have something to eat soon, some of the victims, who were originally too hungry to talk, now uttered a few words.

Especially when they got closer and saw the porridge boiling in the big pot, their faces were filled with joy. It was really porridge made from refined rice! Not rice bran or something like that.

When the porridge was distributed to them, the group of victims immediately started to drink it up. However, the porridge was too hot, and many of them cried out in pain but were reluctant to spit out the hot porridge in their mouths.

Jiang Wenshu was also given a bowl of porridge at this moment but he did not rush to eat it. Instead, he wanted to find out something about the local county magistrate.

She wanted to know what the local people thought of the county magistrate, so she could sneak into his house and observe him.

See if the other party is really that honest.

But to be honest, looking at the hot porridge in her hand, she was probably certain that the county magistrate should be an honest person.

After all, she had seen many places providing disaster relief, but none of them used such thick porridge as here.

Either the porridge was full of soup, or they used rice bran or something like that to feed the victims.

The county magistrate here is so generous in donating food for disaster relief. I'm afraid that the food will run out soon, right?
I don’t know if the county magistrate can hold on when the time comes.

Thinking of this, Jiang Wenshu frowned, and became inexplicably worried.

Just as she was standing aside wanting to inquire about some information, what came out of the mouths of several yamen runners nearby shocked her.

"Don't worry, we have immortals in Dongyang County. These grains are all transformed by the immortals. You don't have to worry about starving in Dongyang County in the future!"

As the yamen runners spread the news, not only Jiang Wenshu, but also the other disaster victims around were stunned.

Immortal? How is that possible?

She has been practicing for so long, and although she has heard rumors about some immortals, she has never heard of any fellow practitioner seeing one. Could this be a swindler who came from somewhere?
