The fairy world collapsed, and the down-and-out gods were laid off and re-employed.

Several people fell into the demonic aura, and no one could see anyone.

Chen Piaopiao was so anxious that she was spinning in the air. She knew that Jiang Zhixia and the others were carrying spiritual locks, and Xie Zezhi had his immortal bone removed again. It was uncertain whether the new disciple could fly. If he landed like this, it would be painful for several days, not to mention falling to death.

In a daze, she seemed to hear the voice of someone speaking. She hurriedly used the whisk in her hand to sweep away the evil spirit in front of her, and quickly caught Jiang Zhixia, who was falling and cursing.

The two landed safely.

"Bah, bah." Jiang Zhixia spit out the dirt in her mouth, "The naughty kid asked him not to take his flower pot, but he insisted! All that dirt floated into my mouth."

After vomiting, she stretched out her arms toward the sky.

"Master Jiang, what are you doing?"

"If they fall, I can catch them."

Chen Piaopiao:......

She tapped her toes and flew into the demonic energy again. Half an hour later, she returned to the ground with a pale face, "Master Jiang, are those people down?"

Jiang Zhixia stepped forward to support her, "No, it probably fell somewhere else. How are you?"

Chen Piaopiao said that she just stayed in the demonic energy for a long time, and she would be fine after taking a rest.

While she was resting, Jiang Zhixia looked around and found that there was not a single figure here, and everything was gray, which made people feel depressed.

"What is this place?" she asked.

"This is the border between gods and demons, and it is also within the territory of the Mongol Kingdom." Chen Piaopiao pointed to the city wall not far away, "We are outside the city now."

"what?!"

Because Jiang Zhixia was guarding Lingqing Hall, she basically didn't go out much in the past three hundred years. She didn't know that the Miemeng Kingdom had been shrouded in demonic energy since it was regarded as the dividing point between the fairy world and the demon world, so it was always gray here.

"Last time I came on a cloud, I had a far-sighted view of the demonic energy and fell to the ground. This time I was careless. I didn't expect the demonic energy to hurt Honghu so much. This time it's all my fault, Master Jiang, we have to Don’t go find Zhenjun Zhaoheng and the others first.”

"If we don't look for it, the three men could still be lost." Jiang Zhixia was not worried about their situation at all.

"But I heard that Zhenjun Zhaoheng was beaten to death." Chen Piaopiao stood up and walked side by side with her, "Can he do it?"

She held Chen Piaopiao's arm, "He deserves to die as a sinner in heaven."

"Master Jiang, if you really think he is a sinner, how can you keep him by your side?" Chen Piaopiao looked at her with a smile and said: "I don't know what big things you are doing. But I believe in you and Zhaoheng The conduct of a true king. In these three hundred years, there are not many gods left."

"There aren't many gods like you who are willing to believe in us." Jiang Zhixia sighed.

Although these three hundred years have been difficult for everyone, fortunately, there are always companions along the way, so we are not alone.

When the two walked into the city, Jiang Zhixia was greatly surprised by the sight in front of them.

The city is in a mess, with rubbish everywhere and sewage flowing across it.

The people were either half-squatting or leaning against the wall, and some were sleeping on the spot, no matter how dirty the ground was.

Most of them were skinny and skinny, covered in filth, their eyes were dull and dull, and their movements were slow and strange. It seemed like some kind of curse had been cast on them, and it took a long time before anyone moved to prove that they were still alive.

Suddenly, a man roared loudly and ran from the alley to the middle of the road and wiped his neck with a kitchen knife.

Jiang Zhixia immediately stepped forward to check and found that he had expired. A gust of wind blew by, lifting up the man's trousers. She saw that his legs were covered with bloody rags. When she untied the rags, the bones inside were clearly visible.

"How could he be like this?"

"It's probably because I don't have the money to continue taking the rebirth grass, so my temperament changed drastically and I decided to kill myself." Chen Piaopiao said.

When she first came here, she was also shocked by the sight before her. She hid in the country of Miemeng, and after several inquiries, she found out that the people here were forced or took the initiative to eat grass.

First, the demon world asked mortals to come forward and open a shop called Wangxian here, saying that as long as you come here, you will forget all your worries and only remember happy things. In addition, they will never charge money.

So it quickly attracted many people. And what the store provides is remnant grass.

After the people became addicted and couldn't live without the grass, those people charged high prices. The rebirth grass has been carefully cultivated by the demon world, so even if they regret and want to quit, they can't quit it. Moreover, if they do not eat the herb of death, these people will die violently within seven days. Before death, they will go crazy and kill all their family members.

The common people had no choice but to continue to eat remnant grass. If they had no money, they would sell their houses, land, and children. In the end, when they had nothing, they would ask those people for loan sharks.

However, the interest they returned was not gold, silver and jewelry, but their own flesh and blood. In addition, that group of people also taught the people to plant remnant grass. The planting site is not far outside the city.

"So you know why they are so emaciated. Their flesh and blood have long been dug up and sucked away. Not only that, because of the large-scale planting of dead grass, there are fewer and fewer crops in the fields. The harvest from those few acres of thin fields is simply not enough for all the crops in the city. Human rations.”

“Didn’t they ever think about not planting those grasses?”

"It's easier said than done." Chen Piaopian sighed: "Those people are very smart. They raise taxes on growing grain and suppress the price of purchasing grain. They reduce or do not collect taxes on dead grass and give subsidies. In this case, farmers will There is simply no way to recoup the cost of growing food.

The planting cost of dead grass is low, and the purchase price per mu of land is high. In order to survive and make money, the people had to uproot the food crops in the fields and plant them instead.

They can earn a lot of money growing the grass, but most of the money is used to eat the grass. Even after a year of hard work, the money still returned to those people. "

"Have they not eaten food for so long?"

"No. You don't need to eat or drink if you take the remnant grass. However, the grass only hangs their lives and cannot give them the nutrients they need. They will still die after a long time. It's just that the way of death is different from quitting the remnant grass. No. What a pain.”

"But doing this in the Demon Realm has violated the treaty signed at the beginning... Xie Zezhi said that he had been here before. Is that why he was targeted by the Demon Realm people." Jiang Zhixia murmured to herself.

Her words attracted Chen Piaopiao's sideways glance. Chen Piaopiao said softly: "It's useless even if Zhenjun Zhaoheng knows about it. All the people who came forward in this matter from beginning to end are mortals. The planting is also voluntary by the people, and the Wangxian shop is also opened by mortals. How to catch them?"

Even if the common people knew that there were gods willing to help them, they would not stand up to testify. For one thing, they don’t trust gods. Secondly, they have never had direct contact with the demon world. Guess who gave them orders? "

Jiang Zhixia looked at her in surprise.

She nodded, "It's just as you thought. All the officials who came forward were officials here. All the huge profits brought by the dead grass went into their pockets, and the demon world didn't want a cent. If you were the county magistrate, you would give up the big money you got. Are you going to use your wealth to fight against the devil?"

Jiang Zhixia wanted to say why the people didn't continue to appeal. Suddenly, something stirred in her mind, which made her shiver. She felt cold from head to toe, and she felt infinite fear in her heart.

These people may have no way to appeal, because a mere county official cannot control taxation.

She finally understood why the demonic aura here was so strong. Where the demonic aura was, it was clearly the resentment of the people.

The border between gods and demons is like an isolated island, and no one cares about the life and death of the people suffering here. They live in a dark environment, where the sky and the earth do not respond; everything they see is swamps and sewage.

Therefore, a pure creature like the Honghu will be obliterated when it flies here. These things can't save them, they can only wake them up and face the pain, but they can't change anything.

Instead of doing this, it is better to close your eyes, not to see or think, and your life will be a little better.

"This place is rotten from top to bottom. Even if we want to save it, there's nothing we can do if they don't want to cooperate. Maybe we can only wait until this place becomes a dead city and no one grows rebirth grass, and this matter can be resolved. ." Chen Piaopiao looked at the numb crowd around him, with heartache in his eyes.

If there hadn't been this war or if Heaven had won the battle, this place would never be what it is now. But what can I do if I am just a little fairy? Faced with the current situation, no matter what she wanted to do, she was powerless.

"It won't disappear..."

"What?" Jiang Zhixia spoke so quietly that Chen Piaopiao didn't hear her clearly.

"I said this kind of thing will only spread and will not disappear." Jiang Zhixia's eyes gradually changed from the initial confusion to determination, "The dust will not escape if the broom is not available. It is impossible to expect the problem to disappear on its own initiative.

The demon world is also testing our bottom line, so we only plant remnants in Mongolia.

I understand why Xie Zezhi took the risk and came here in person. In this matter, as long as the fairy world takes a step back, they will be unscrupulous and their appetite will become bigger and bigger. In the end, the whole world turned into purgatory. By then, even if we wanted to, there would be nothing we could do.

Since that's the case, it's better to cut off the source right here. "

"Just the two of us?" Chen Piaopiao couldn't believe it.

"Who said there were only two of us? All the people suffering here are with us."
