In the Li Mansion, the white mist covering the courtyard suddenly began to fluctuate, churning like clouds and mist.

Hou Li looked solemn: "Jinyan, you go and call Ding Qin back."

Jin Yan didn't say much, and after a reply, he flew directly in the direction of Dingjia Village.Although he didn't know what happened, but Lichi Shangshen hadn't come out of the fog for so long, he also felt uneasy.

Although Hou Li was able to leave Li's mansion, his speed was far from that of the turtledove who became a demon.In fact, the communication technique is the fastest, but now that the world is in chaos, Hou Li cannot guarantee the safety of the communication technique. If the communication technique does not succeed, or the news falls into the hands of others, it will be bad.

Hou Li looked at the restless and surging mist, and his brows were tightened bit by bit.

……

Over the Daqing Mountains, a huge white crane flew past.

Ding Qin leaned on the back of Crane God Baihong, the divine seal on his forehead fluctuated abnormally.She pressed her forehead with one hand and prayed in her heart, God of Lichi, nothing will happen...

A quarter of an hour ago, Dingjia Village.

Ding Qin is training with Bai Hong.Before that, she had been busy arranging formations, and Bai Hong dealt with all the turbid monsters that attacked the village.Now this weird catastrophe has reached a relatively stable stage. For Lu Guo, after the water source issue is resolved, there will be rainwater every now and then. Although it is not abundant, it is barely enough.

People took advantage of the summer to replant a batch of grain, and they might be able to harvest some grain before winter.The common people have the hope of surviving, and the rebel army has no soil for development.Although this year's situation is not good, according to the current development of Lu country, it can almost survive safely.

Now there is still a more troublesome problem, that is, the mad demons and grieving ghosts who have not been able to recover after being affected by the evil spirit. There are almost no grieving ghosts still wandering around in the Daqing Mountains because of the ghost king sitting in the town. There are still many turbid demons that attack any life outside.Even if people can hide in the formations in the village, other creatures in the wild have almost nowhere to hide.Moreover, people need to leave the village for digging, farming, hunting, etc.The talismans used to have almost no effect on the crazy turbid monsters. Even if they hit their heads and bleed, as long as they don't die, they will not stop attacking.

In order to solve this problem, Baihong, the Crane God, had to constantly patrol around the area she sheltered, to find and deal with those crazy demons.

According to Crane God, Ding Qin "has such great power, it would be too wasteful not to use it."

But before letting Ding Qin go alone to fight against those turbid monsters, Bai Hong had to touch her bottom, and as a result, Ding Qin was despised by the crane god during this pair training.

"At your level, how did you deal with that lizard monster that lost its mind?" Bai Hong looked at her with his head down.

Ding Qin said embarrassingly: "The lizard demon didn't find me, I counted it as a sneak attack."

She has hardly fought a few times, and she has never learned it specifically. She has no means of fighting, but she has no awareness of fighting.

Bai Hong sighed and helped her make up this piece, and said with emotion: "How did the god you found teach you? How come you have taught you sword qi and magic, but he didn't teach you how to fight?"

Because of their different responsibilities, the gods are often good at different things. The wide range of Ding Qin's magical skills surprised Bai Hong even after looking at them.

But although she knows almost all kinds of magic spells, she has never used them. Ding Qin's application of spells is relatively simple...or, because the available choices are too extensive, she only needs to use spells It is enough to choose the most direct effect among them, so there is no need to think about how to dig deeper into the effect of spells, and there is no need to form a quick response and habit after encountering various situations.

"It's too slow." Bai Hong poked his long claws, and directly interrupted Ding Qin's magical spell, "Before you figure out what spell to use, the battle can already be over."

"It's useless to stick to it. Do you want to fight with me? But what if your enemy has a way to break the ban?" The crane's beak was like a diamond, hitting the weak point of Ding Qin's defense, and then poked his neck, The sharp beak was already close to Ding Qin's throat.

Ding Qin was about to turn around to avoid it when she suddenly felt dizzy.

Baihong's sharp beak stopped in front of Ding Qin's neck in time: "What's wrong?"

Ding Qin covered her forehead, the power of the divine seal fluctuated abnormally.

There is a difference in the god's seal, it can only be that something happened to Lichi Shangshen, she has to go back!

Crane God was faster and took Ding Qin to fly towards the Li Mansion.

When they reached the sky above the Daqing Mountains and were still some distance away from the Li Mansion, they saw Jinyan in the distance.

As soon as the two parties met, Ding Qin learned what happened from Jin Yan.

"Neither do we..." Jin Yan was halfway through speaking when he suddenly got stuck and stared in the direction of the other side of the Daqing Mountains in a daze.

"What's wrong?" Ding Qin asked, turning her head to look.

On the other side of the Daqing Mountains, in the direction of Liang Guo, the overwhelming gray-black shadows are like a huge sea tide, flying towards this side with a terrifying buzzing sound.

Bai Hong looked at the tsunami-like shadow in astonishment, and murmured, "What is that?"

That's a locust that overwhelms the sky.

……

Zhangning City, in the royal palace.

Lu Hong is listening to Zhong Yongwang's report.During the catastrophe, many monks who had been hiding in the Lu country emerged, some of them rescued a party out of compassion, and some wanted to take advantage of troubled waters and act inappropriately.

If the former is willing, Lu Guo is willing to enshrine it with rites. As for the latter... Although Lu Guo is an ordinary country, it is not without extraordinary power to use.If these people who fish in troubled waters know how to measure, Lu Guo will turn a blind eye, but if he doesn't know what to do, even though the current situation is difficult, he will not let it go.for example……

"...After repeated investigations, it can be almost confirmed that it is Xuanqingjiao who secretly instigated and gathered refugees to become rebels." Zhong Yongwang replied.

Lu Hong's eyes were stinging coldly: "Have you found out where they came from?"

He bites every word slowly and deeply. The tragedy in Taiwu County is still vivid in his mind. At that time, because there were powerful people covering it up, and Xuanqingjiao itself was also hidden, so it has not been able to Find out the origin of Xuan Puritanism.But now, since they show up and take action, they will inevitably show their whereabouts.

"It's still not completely sure, but nine out of ten it came from Liang Guo." Zhong Yongwang said.

He spent a lot of energy on this, but in the end he only found this point.What is the relationship between Xuanqingjiao and Liang Guo?Who is in charge of it?When was it established?What is the purpose of the establishment? ... none of this has been answered.

At present, the clue that Zhong Yongwang has got the deepest connection with Xuanqing religion may be the practitioner named Wood in Dushantou.But although Mu Mu seems to have some connection with Xuanqingjiao, he himself doesn't remember it, and he is also confused by this and tries to find news about Xuanqingjiao.Later, Zhong Yongwang also provided some methods to Mumu that might be able to retrieve his memory, but it was of no use.This clue can only be used as a decoration for the time being.

Although what Zhong Yongwang found was limited, Lu Hong did not express his dissatisfaction.The depth of Xuanqingjiao's water can be seen from Shenting's lack of action after receiving the news.

As for Liang Guo... Different from Lu Guo's pious worship of gods, the relationship between Liang Guo people and gods is more complicated.

Most of the monks who practice Shinto in Liang Guozhong are not gods in the court of God. Without the restraint and guidance of the court of God, the methods used by these monks to obtain faith and incense are often rough and extreme.The most common and simplest method they use is to use threats to obtain incense, and use fear to control beliefs.Those who are unwilling to sacrifice to them will welcome their sin.

For example, many self-proclaimed "river gods" in Liang Guozhong used floods or droughts to intimidate believers in order to obtain sacrifices.

In addition, there are many monks in the Liang Kingdom who demand faith and incense, not even Shinto practitioners, they just need incense to accomplish certain purposes, such as sacrificing certain special magic weapons.These monks are only for a moment of incense.Among them, those with better character will look for people in need, and do good deeds to help them solve their problems in order to obtain incense; those with bad character will first send disasters secretly, or use strange diseases and suffering, or disasters of water and fire, and wait for the victims to suffer unspeakably. Show up as a savior to gain gratitude.

Because of this environment, there are also many evil cultivators hidden in Liang Guozhong, and it is not surprising that such a Xuanqing sect is hidden.

Because of the separation of the Daqing Mountains, although Luliang and Liang bordered each other, they did not have much contact with each other.If the people of Xuanqing Sect really came from Liang State, they would have to go through the Daqing Mountains with great difficulty.

The coldness in Lu Hong's eyes was even stronger: "Xuan Qingjiao...Liang Guo...I understand. This trip has worked hard for you, go back and rest first."

After Zhong Yongwang left, Lu Hong went to the ancestral hall.Xuan Qingjiao's matter involves the court of God. Although he has a plan in mind, he still needs to discuss it with his ancestors.

In the ancestral hall, the map of Lu State is engraved as a copper plate hanging on the wall, and the tablets of the ancestors of the Lu family of Lu State are placed high in front of the copper plate. Some of these ancestors have cultivated into ghosts and gods, and some have already been reincarnated.But their tablets are still enshrined on the case. Whether the reincarnated people can still receive this enshrinement, this is their inner respect for their ancestors.

With respect for the ancestors, and knowing how difficult it is for the country to develop to this day, it is possible to have a heart of love for the territory and people of the country of Lu, and to be cautious enough in every order.With the reverence for the gods, as the most powerful person in a country, the ruler of the country can restrain his actions, so as not to be lost by the excessive power.

Lu Hong calmed down and burned three sticks of incense in front of the ancestral tablet, and his thoughts rose faintly with the incense.

A moment later, the thoughts of Lu's ancestors descended from the void.

Do it according to his own ideas, don't wait for Shenting's help, don't have to cooperate with Shenting, and don't think about Shenting.

Lu Hong repeatedly confirmed several times. What the ancestors meant was that they pretended to know the existence of Xuanqingjiao, and they only treated Xuanqingjiao as an ordinary cultivating sect, rather than Possesses the power to conceal the existence of secrets.

However, they had already learned of the existence of Xuanqingjiao a few months ago and before the catastrophe. Even if they only had one name, they also knew that this sect was not easy.Lu Guo didn't take any action against Xuanqingjiao, just because he couldn't find out anything, but Shenting must know something.

Shenting hasn't moved all this time, and now he has this attitude again, is it because he doesn't want Lu Guo's cooperation, or is there some other reason...

"Don't think too much, when it's time to take action, Shenting will take action." The ancestor's voice sounded from the void.

Just now, that was the transmission of the attitude towards Shenting, but now it is a reminder from the ancestors of the Lu family to their descendants.

Lu Hong raised his head and asked, "What if the Puritan religion starts to use means that are beyond what the Lu Kingdom can resist?"

He couldn't help but worry. Although the Xuanqingjiao forces emerging in the country of Lu are just ordinary people who have mastered simple spells, he doesn't think this is the true strength of Xuanqingjiao.

"At that time, Shenting will take action." Lu's ancestor said.

Lu Hong thought about it, and when he was about to go back and make arrangements, the copper plate hanging on the wall of the ancestral hall suddenly buzzed.

Lu Hong was startled.

The ancestors of the Lu family once asked powerful monks to bury eight towns in the land of Lu State, which were connected with this copper plate Qi machine, which had infinite magical effects.

This copper plate can sense the situation of all parties. At this time, a piece of green and black is eroding from the Daqing Mountains in the southeast to the territory of Lu State.

The color of green and black represents evil spirit.

Although the blue and black color did not spread quickly on the copper plate, it was a map that had been shrunk by an unknown number of times.The speed of spreading on the copper plate is already visible to the naked eye, so how fast is the spreading of these evil spirits on the ground? !

What happened in the Daqing Mountains?

Lu Hong and his ancestors apologized and hurriedly left the ancestral hall.

Not long after, news came.The kingdom of Liang has no limits, and the only few gods in the court have to deal with the weird disaster by adjusting their numerology and increasing the disaster of sudden death.

The country of Liang was drought-free for a long time, and migratory locusts were born all over the sky. Now they are crossing the Daqing Mountains and flying towards the country of Lu.

Today's Lu country has just returned to calm, and it has ushered in such an indiscriminate disaster.The Daqing Mountains are vast, how many migratory locusts will cross the Daqing Mountains?

Lu Hong's hands trembling as he held the emergency report, those towns that are far from the border of the Daqing Mountains... how are they doing now?

……

Outside Liquan Village, in the farmland, Zheng Liang and his sons were busy.

On the re-turned land are green seedlings that have just grown. These are fast-growing bean seedlings. Although they are short and tender, they should be able to be harvested before winter.

Zheng Liang felt sorry for his sons and went down to the field with them.His legs are healed now, and he can work smoothly!

After bending over and busying for a long time, Zheng Liang straightened up and breathed a sigh of relief.He just raised his head when he suddenly froze.

In the southeast sky, a large gray shadow is moving rapidly towards this side.

"What's that?" Zheng Mai who also raised his head asked.

Is it a rainy cloud?But it doesn't seem to be the same as what he has seen before?

Zheng Liang's pupils contracted tightly, his throat was dry and tight: "Go! Go to the ancestral hall! The plague of locusts is coming!"

……

The migratory locusts fell down overwhelmingly, and the ground that had just emerged green turned yellow again in the blink of an eye.Shuigu Town is the closest town to the Daqing Mountains in Lu Kingdom, and it was also the first area to be plagued by locusts. However, Shuigu Earth God is not under its jurisdiction at this time.

Daqing Mountains, Shekou Cliff, Black Water Pool.

The water solid earth god is sitting by the pool, holding a locust bigger than a palm in his hand.Although this locust looks very similar to ordinary locusts, it is very different in essence. Not only is it at least twice as big in size, but the outer armor of this locust is also very strong. Full of sharp teeth.

In addition, this group of migratory locusts also had a ferocious aura condensed on them. If they were to capture and drive them away, they would inevitably be attacked by them in turn.

And the one in the hands of the water solid earth god is just one he caught casually on the way here.This group of migratory locusts has gathered their own aura. They were able to cross the Daqing Mountains and attack with overwhelming momentum, and there must be a locust king among them.

Thinking of this, the Shuigu Earth God couldn't help but sigh.

He came to pay homage to the ghost king.The Daqing Mountains stretch for thousands of miles and are the best natural barrier.If you want to solve the continuous plague of migratory locusts, blocking them in the Daqing Mountains is the best choice.

There are many extraordinary monks hiding in the Daqing Mountains. Due to his own background, the ghost king still has occasional contact with mortals, and he has dealt with the water solid earth god several times.Moreover, the area where she is located happens to be at the junction of the two countries of Lu and Liang.Migrating locusts can harm living beings, but they can't do much harm to ghosts.If the ghost king is willing to help, most of this sudden disaster can be solved.

The Shuigu Earth God has been sitting here for a while, the pool is surging, and the waves hit the shore again and again, but the ghost king has never appeared from the pool.

After a while, the forest suddenly seemed to be dark for a moment, and at some point, a white bone had quietly sat opposite the Earth God.

This white bone is as smooth as jade, the water on the bone is full of water, and there are faint blue flames burning quietly in the eye sockets.Although it is a white bone, it is not frightening to look at, but gives birth to a kind of silence and tranquility, and the surging tide in the black water pool suddenly weakens a bit.

"Ghost King." The Earth God bowed his head and saluted.

This is the bones of the ghost king.Among all the faces cut out by the ghost king, the wedding dress face is the most resentful, and the bone face is the most lonely.

The Bone Phase nodded silently, but the dark fire in her eyes had conveyed her meaning.

She already knew the purpose of the earth god's visit, but she refused.

Earth God frowned slightly: "Why..."

The ghost king's eyes flickered, and she was looking at the migratory locusts in the palm of the earth god.

Those are not ordinary locusts. They were born because of this weird catastrophe. They were induced by the drought in the hearts of all living beings. They were hatched by the bitter rain for three days, and finally became this ferocious locust plague.Ghosts are indeed not afraid of locust plagues, but these migratory locusts carry an extremely terrifying evil spirit.

In order to protect the surrounding ghosts from the evil spirit in the bitter rain, the ghost king introduced all the bitter rain that fell into the area into the black water pool. The majestic evil spirit made the originally calm black water pool surging. Failed to completely resolve those evil spirits.

Ghosts gain great power due to their obsession and resentment, but if they want to practice, they must first dispel their own resentment, so that their minds will not be biased, and then they can embark on the ghost path.And these ghost Zhengxiu who have not yet dispelled their own grievances are most afraid of evil spirits.

The evil spirit can increase their strength dramatically, but it can also devour their reason and turn them into desperate and resentful ghosts.

The deeper the grudge, the stronger it is, and the stronger it is, the harder it is to dissolve the grudge.The ghost king is powerful enough to suppress one side, and her grievances are especially serious.

The ghost king's grievances had been mostly resolved at the beginning, and the remaining grievances were cut out and turned into a wedding dress with the method of cutting the face, so the evil spirit in the three days of bitter rain can be absorbed by the power of the black water pool, but now it is almost the same To the limit.

The method of cutting the face is not the right way to dispel resentment, it is just a means to maintain one's sanity from being swallowed by resentment during the process.Now the carrying capacity of the black water pool has almost reached its limit, if there is more evil spirit, the wedding dress with the most resentment may come back.

If the ghost king loses his sanity... Not to mention how powerful she is, if the ghosts she suppresses lose control, the consequences will be unimaginable.

The fire in Bone Xiang's eyes fluctuated, and the quiet and quiet rhythm enveloped the surroundings, conveying her wordless thoughts.

The Shuigu Earth God understood what the Ghost King meant, sighed, and stopped pressing.But he was so anxious that it was hard to say, Lu Guo finally survived the previous drought, but now he was affected by Liang Guo.

After this catastrophe, not only mortals can't stand it, but other creatures in the mountains can't stand it either!Those migratory locusts don't just eat the crops in the field!

If this weird locust plague cannot be stopped from the Daqing Mountains, what should we do next?

……

Zhang Ningcheng.

There are people working everywhere in the fields outside the city, and they are refugees who have just been arranged. With the land, these ordinary people will have a home again.

Lu Hong and Zhong Yongwang pretended to be two ordinary scholars and walked slowly along the field path. The new greenery in the countryside made people happy, but both of them were worried in their hearts, and they couldn't smile on their faces. .Zhong Yongwang suddenly bent down and caught something from the nearby field.

After Lu Hong saw the locust in his palm, he couldn't help sighing: "Are there also locusts here?"

Zhong Yongwang remained silent.Lu Hong's voice was full of exhaustion. They were already anxious and unable to get angry. Too many bad things happened one after another. After coming here for so long, they were already too tired.

Zhangning City is located in the hinterland of Lu State, and the migratory locusts from the southeast will not be able to come here in large numbers for a while, but some strong locusts have already flown here.

"Gu...maybe I'm going to be the subjugated king of Lu Kingdom..." Lu Hong looked into the distance with blank eyes.

"Your Majesty!" Zhong Yongwang couldn't help calling out, "There is still a solution. There is a poisonous mountain in the southwest of Langyue City, and migratory locusts also fell there, but the locusts died after eating the things in the mountain. Instead, you can feed yourself with things from the mountains.”

"Then I have to thank that monk in the mountain." Lu Hong said calmly.

"Your Majesty..." Zhong Yongwang mourned in a low voice.

The particularity of Dushantou cannot be replicated, and there is no way to promote it.He knew about it, and so did the king.But he has nothing else to do to comfort the king.Not only the king, but even he himself couldn't help but despair. Can Lu Guo...can survive?

"Go back." Lu Hong said calmly.

Zhong Yongwang silently accompanied Lu Hong back to the palace, and it didn't make any sense to watch it any further.How insignificant is the power of a mortal...

……

In the ancestral hall of the royal palace, Lu Hongling ordered the palace people in charge of taking care of it to step back and stay inside alone.

He looked up at the copper plate that was gradually infiltrated by blue and black, and after looking at it quietly for a long time, he lit up the incense and solemnly bowed down to the ancestral tablet.

After a long time, he heard a sigh.

Lu Hong didn't raise his head, but still maintained the posture of prostration, with a low voice, as if he was speaking to the gods, but also as if he was speaking to himself: "I don't want to be the king of subjugation."

"The catastrophe of mortals is running smoothly, but the first wave of the catastrophe of practitioners has just started. The inspiration between heaven and earth is no longer active, and it is becoming more and more difficult to cast spells. To solve this plague of locusts, the gods need someone who sacrifices their lives. Enlightenment, do you already have the same belief?" The voice of the ancestor rang in his ear.

Lu Hong bowed again: "Hong has decided to pray with his body on the altar in three days."

So far, there's nothing he can't do.

This is a sacrificial method handed down from ancient times, which only exists in records and has not been held for many years.At least, this kind of sacrifice has never been held since the establishment of Lu Kingdom.

The so-called "praying with the body" means to communicate with the gods in person.In ancient times, there was no means of direct communication between mortals and gods. Although there were incense to convey thoughts, the gods at that time were not necessarily willing to talk to mortals.If there is a request to the gods, but there is no response after several sacrifices, praying with the body becomes the last resort.

As for how to pray with the body...burn the body, the soul will ascend to see the gods.It seems to be the same as lighting the letter incense to raise the mind and pass it on to the gods, but this kind of brutal and tragic sacrifice is actually useless.Even if you turn into a ghost after death, if the gods don't want to meet each other, what's the use?

But in ancient times, after praying to the gods with their bodies, most of their wishes were successfully fulfilled.This is of course not because the spirit after the sacrificer's death actually saw and convinced the gods.

Ordinary people are afraid of death and voluntarily pray to the gods with their bodies, all of them are full of pure and broad mind beliefs. Gods receive this belief, even if it is something that they don't bother to pay attention to, as long as it is not something evil, most of them will take action According to the wishes of the priests.

This is what really makes this sacrifice effective.

If you want to move the gods, don't be afraid of giving up.

Take the body of a country's monarch as a sacrifice, move the mourning of the people of a country, and make a pious determination.For such thoughts, the gods... can be moved?

The voice of the ancestor sighed in his ear: "Even if Shenting has not moved...with this in mind, I will fight hard, and it may also solve my Lu country's temporary difficulties..."

Hearing this, Lu Hong closed his eyes and bowed again.

Although the ancestors were ghosts and gods in the court of God, they were always facing the Lu country.

Tears rolled down Lu Hong's eyes.I don't know if it's for myself or for my ancestors.

All human beings are weak, riches and honors are all treasures in life. If you give up your life, you will give up everything. With this in mind, I ask God to guide me. Where is Lu Guo's way of life in this catastrophe?

……

The catastrophe in the mortal world is fierce, and the fog rises in the dream.

Pressing the bottom of the left eye, the god who was unable to care about the broken edge of the dream suddenly stopped, slowly got up and put down his hands, and every inch of his white clothes turned into jet black.

The god looked at the shattered chaos on the edge of the dream, his eyes were cold and dark.

On the originally smooth surface under the left eye, a purple-gold hidden scale suddenly appeared.
