Infinity only I can strengthen

Chapter 159
Zhang Chao said, "Thank you."

Qu Yi smiled helplessly: "It's useless for me to bring these things."

Then he sighed and felt very melancholy. With his fifteenth-level martial arts, he could only live in a small mountain village. He had nowhere to vent his depression.

Zhang Chao said: "I say goodbye to Shufen, and then I have to leave."

"Ok."

After a while, Zhang Chao and Qu Yi came under the familiar old pear tree. Shufen's family was building a house. Zhang Chao called out, "Shufen, I'm leaving. Do you have anything to say to Gao Lan?" ? You also know that Gao Lan is selling private salt, he is elusive, and I can't guarantee that I can bring your words to you. "

Shufen turned her head and smiled, "I have nothing to say, I should thank Mr. Zhang."

"Okay then, goodbye. Then I thought about it and suggested that your baby should go to Cao Cao."

Zhang Chao felt quite strange, didn't this woman even say a word of thanks to Gao Lan?

How heartless!

Just when he turned around, a black cloud appeared in the sky and rushed towards Shixi Village at an extremely fast speed. Zhang Chao wondered, "What is this?"

Even other villagers who were rebuilding the village on the ground also noticed the black clouds in the sky. While everyone was discussing, an old man suddenly shouted: "It's not good!"

He looked terrified, as if he saw a demon.

At this time, Shufen also remembered something. The feeling of terror engraved in her genes spread throughout her body. Suddenly someone shouted: "There are locusts, there are locusts."

Yes, this is the locust.If it hadn't been for the locusts that had been making trouble for three years, Gao Lan would still be farming with her now.

In that case, Gao Lan would not run away and no one would die in the village.

In a village of 8000 people, 5000 people starved to death.

"Look for the village chief! Who is going to find the village chief?"

Someone shouted again, and several villagers ran around looking for the village chief.

Zhang Chao asked: "Is there anything the village chief can do? How did the village chief deal with the locusts before?"

In this era without pesticides, Zhang Chao had no idea how to get rid of the locusts.

Shufen said anxiously: "The village chief invited the Shixi Mountain God to help. I don't know how exactly he did it."

After finishing speaking, Shufen thought of the village chief. If the village chief hadn't occasionally given her and Gao Lan something to eat, they would have died long ago. Meet the village head, because the village head can always give her something to eat.

Zhang Chao's head is full of black lines, isn't the village chief the Shixi Mountain God?How did he do it?

At this moment, the dark clouds in the sky stopped. The locust spirit looked at the Shixi Village below with a sneer and said excitedly: "Old man of Shixi, it took you three years to defeat me. It's a pity that you died, otherwise I really want you to see how the villagers you protect starve to death, hahaha! Kids, eat up all the Shixi Village!"

Following an order, millions of locusts rushed into Shixi Village, and many villagers raised torches to chase them away. Unfortunately, this was useless. Instead, the locusts stopped on houses, trees, and crop fields not far away. He kept gnawing and gnawing.

Everything is disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye,
Zhang Chao was amazed, this group of locusts even gnawed at the wooden house.

"Help! I can't live anymore."

Many women sat on the ground and kept crying, and many villagers rushed to the farmland aside, but before they got close, the farmland was gnawed clean by locusts, and a year's hard work was wiped out.

"It's over, it's over." Shufen panicked, "After eating the village, they will still eat Shixi Mountain."

The tragic image of the barren Shixi Mountain was still vivid in my mind, and Shufen didn't know what to do there.

Zhang Chao and Qu Yi have nothing to do, you can let him slash people one by one, and you can slash monsters, but he is helpless in the face of millions of locusts in the sky.

At this moment, Zhang Chao felt his chest was hot. He felt that Gao Lan's soul stone was hot. When he took out the soul stone, he saw a black light shooting up into the sky, and soon disappeared. He raised his head Looking at the sky, except for the dense locusts, I couldn't see anything clearly.

This ray of light rushed and rushed, and it didn't stop until it rushed above the clouds. Soon, the ray of light turned into a black shadow, and beside this shadow was another black shadow floating, and another black shadow was tense Pay attention to Shixi Village under the clouds.

Gao Lan's soul shadow spoke. This is a voice that can only be heard by the soul, and the living cannot hear it. "Village chief, what should we do now?"

It turns out that the other black shadow is the head of Shixi Village.

The village chief asked in surprise, "Mang Brain, are you dead?"

"A certain failed the village head's expectations." Gao Lan felt ashamed.

"There is nothing to live up to. You don't have to be an extremely powerful minister. To be successful is to be rich. You are free. I envy you. You can pursue what you like, but I can't. Reckless, I am now New death, the spell I attached to the locust spirit back then has not completely dissipated, please help me, I can re-seal this swarm of locusts, and after another 30 days, the swarm of locusts will turn into sewage and disappear completely, hey, originally only It takes 20 days, I missed something."

"Village Chief, are you going to exhaust your soul power and perish with the locust spirit?"

The village chief didn't say a word.

Gao Lan persuaded: "Village Chief, you are the god of Shixi Mountain. You can live forever by magic. If you do this..."

"You don't understand, I don't want to be a mountain god, and I have never loved the villagers. It was just my job to protect the villagers. If I don't do this, I will be punished by heaven and earth, and I will lose my mana. If I lose all my mana, I will Die, in the final analysis, I guard you because I am afraid of death, and I just work for survival. Since I met Donghua, I want to live for myself once.

Today I am willing to give my life for the villagers of Shixi, just like Donghua, because I choose, I am willing, this is my only self-choice in this life, not going to work numbly, this is my only freedom.Reckless brain, I need your help! "

"But, the village chief..."

Gao Lan always felt that it was a pity for the village chief to lose his immortal life like this.

"Reckless, no! Gao Lan! Are you still willing to sacrifice for Shufen? Just like back then..."

then?

He remembered the evening when he left, there was heavy rain in the sky, Gao Lan came to the house under the old pear tree on the eve of parting, the door was closed, he patted on the door lightly, but no one responded.

He stood outside the door and shouted Shufen's name, but no one responded. He didn't know how long he shouted, and his voice became hoarse. In this way, the heavy rain wet his hair, his underwear, and his hands and feet were cold until The man from Bingtou came to find him, and before he left, he threw a string of copper coins into the yard. It was 50 copper coins, plus the previous bag of coarse grains, he sold himself for the price of three chickens.

Gao Lan's soul shadow said: "I wonder how the pears on that old pear tree taste?"

"It's still the same bad taste. Are you ready?"

Gao Lan looked at the old pear tree under the clouds, and heard Shufen's familiar panting and soft sobbing. It was Shufen covering her mouth and crying under the night rain.
I'm sorry, I shouldn't have made you cry, I had no choice!
It was so then, and it is so now.

"Village Chief, I'm ready."

"follow me……"

Two dark shadows rushed into Shixi Mountain not far away.

"Use fire! Use fire to burn. Those who have torches will light torches, and those who have fires will light piles!" Zhang Chao kept shouting. He knew that this method was not very effective, so he couldn't just do nothing.

His ears were filled with the sound of locusts spreading their wings. The densely packed locusts covered the sky and made it difficult to walk. There were even locusts biting him, which was really painful.

"Help!"

"Help!"

Zhang Chao's yelling was completely useless, the villagers panicked, and they kept waving their clothes and screaming in despair.

It's over, Zhang Chao's heart sinks, Shixi Village is over, based on his understanding of locusts, today is Shixi Village, tomorrow will be other villages, the entire Chaisang, and even nearby Jingzhou, Yangzhou, millions of fields will be taken by them Eat it all up, how many people will starve to death!
Just when everyone was desperate, a huge stone suddenly flew from Shixi Mountain, hundreds of meters high, like a city suspended above Shixi Village.

The locust, which was making waves, thumped carefully, and the secret path was not good. He raised his voice and shouted, "Little ones, run away! That damned mountain god is here again."

As soon as the words fell, a suction force came from above the boulder and pulled millions of locusts over. The locusts tried their best to break free from the shackles of the boulder, but no matter how hard they struggled, it was useless. Being pulled towards the boulder, when he was pulling hard with his face flushed, he heard a stinging sound, and the wings of the locust spirit were torn off. At this moment, he was completely unable to get rid of the pull of the boulder.

This is true for the leading locust spirit, and even more so for his group of little demons.

The villagers under the sky watched the dark cloud of locusts rise slowly until they were immersed in the boulders, and then the boulders flew over Shixi Village, far away, and deep into the mountains. After 30 days, the locust essence would be reduced to ashes and completely destroyed. disappear.

"It's the mountain god, it's the mountain god who has manifested."

Some villagers pointed to the boulder flying far away, and couldn't help but knelt down and kowtowed.

Thousands of other infected villagers also knelt on the ground and kowtowed in the direction of the boulder.

"It's the mountain god, it's the mountain god who is protecting us."

The villagers who survived the catastrophe began to miss the goodness of the mountain god, and everyone told the story of the mountain god with great interest, but they didn't know that their mountain god would be the most perfect god from now on, and would never descend to earth, forever They will not help them, it is just a kind of spiritual sustenance, just a symbol.

Their god is dead.

Zhang Chao was stunned, is there really a mountain god?
Shufen said from the side: "It was the same last time, last time it was the mountain god who saved us."

It's a pity that it's a step too late. It would have been better if it had been a few months earlier, then Gao Lan wouldn't have left.

She still remembers the heavy rain that night, Gao Lan shouted her name loudly outside the wall, Shufen didn't dare to open the door, and didn't dare to answer, she couldn't stop anything, she could only squat in the corner of the wall silently, covering her mouth and crying , the sound of the rain miraculously covered up her crying, so she was inside the wall and looked out of the wall. A 3 cm thick wooden wall became a gap that the two of them would never be able to cross. Dead, I live, Yin and Yang are separated.

Shufen looked at Zhang Chao's leaving back and said to Qu Yi, "Mr. Zhang is a very gentle person."

Qu Yi: "???"

"He won't lie, Gao Lan is dead."

Qu Yi: "Maybe."

Shufen felt a little regretful, she didn't dare to agree that night, she didn't want Gao Lan to leave, she couldn't accept the pain of parting, if only she could open the door and take a good look at Gao Lan's appearance, who would have thought that the more The last side when you refuse to leave, that is the last side of the rest of your life.

There was a faint black soul shadow on the old pear tree not far away, holding a pear in his hand. It was 20 years, 63 days, seven hours and three minutes since Gao Lan left Shufen. He bit the pear into pieces. This time he No peeling, just like when I was 16 years old...
