I didn't intend to become a fairy

Chapter 320

Sorrows are everywhere, and the ground is full of sorrow.

The Taoist walked through the fields, walked into the city, and asked the officials in the city for details. The officials had some ideas and were also organizing to deal with it, but they were okay in the face of minor disasters, and they seemed powerless in such a major disaster.

For them, this may be like a flood, like a drought, like an earth dragon turning over. Officials and wealthy households still have the capital to sigh, but the people at the bottom are always the most powerless in the face of natural disasters and man-made disasters, so they can only cry and cry in silence. I endured it until I couldn't make a sound.

It is conceivable that after the locust plague, if there is no government relief, there will be starvation and complaints everywhere.

To the north of Yanxian County, the locust plague was the worst. The Taoist entered the city from the south, passed through the county seat, and then continued northward to the place where the locust plague was the worst.

Horse bells jingle.

It's afternoon.

Empress Sanhua huddled in the girdle on the horse's back, swayed with the horse's pace, poked her head out, and looked ahead.

Suddenly a locust flew over.

"brush!"

The three-flowered cat stretched out its claws like lightning, grabbed the locust precisely, held it in front of its eyes, looked up, and looked for the swallow, but when it couldn't find it, it let go of its claws and threw it away.

"Snapped……"

Another locust landed on the Taoist's shoulder.

The swallow suddenly flew from behind, and lightly drew a curve in the air, flew close to the Taoist, passed the Taoist's shoulder, and the locust disappeared.

The three-flowered cat turned its head and looked in the direction the swallow was flying to.

Those amber-like eyes reflected the turbid sky full of wind and sand, and the densely packed locusts in the sky could be seen clearly at close range, but they couldn't be seen at a distance, only the sky was a little darker.

Suddenly the Taoist stopped in his tracks.

The bay red horse responded quickly and stopped immediately.

The sound of the horse's bell stopped suddenly.

In the field in front of him, there was a figure with a stooped figure, holding a rag, and beating insects all over the sky.

In the dark world, he seemed tireless.

It also seems to be fighting against the whole world.

The Taoist couldn't help standing by the road and turned to look at him.

After a while, I looked left and right, found a small path in the past, and walked over.

The bay red horse still followed behind.

There are a lot of locusts in the ground, densely packed, and an unknown number of locusts are flying in the sky, and the sound of flapping wings is connected together.

"Buzzing..."

The old man took the piece of cloth and kept beating it.

When I got closer, I realized that I am not tireless. I am obviously tired, sweating profusely, panting, and I have no strength to speak anymore, so I have to repeat the slapping movement.

If a piece of cloth is hit on an insect, it can really sweep away a piece of it.

It can be caught with a slap, and can be crushed to death with a foot.

It's just that he alone and a piece of cloth can clean up the bugs all over the sky.

The buzzing and slapping were really noisy, until the sound of the horse bell approached, the old man realized that he stopped his movements for a while, turned his head on his hips to rest, and looked over breathlessly.

I saw that the person who came was a young gentleman, dressed in an old Taoist robe, and followed a bay red horse. This person and the horse did not walk on the road over there, but came here.

Taking a closer look, the horse was carrying a bag on its back, and there was a three-coloured cat in the bag. In the sky full of locusts, the Taoist was standing on the ridge of the field looking at him. with.

At the same time, a bird flew from the sky and landed on the horse's back, like a swallow, also staring at him.

There were as many locusts as sandstorms, and this group of people was also extremely strange.

Seeing this scene, the old man couldn't help being stunned.

Then the young Taoist asked him, "Old man, how long will you be able to beat the locusts that are all over the sky?"

The old man froze for a moment, then shook his head and said:
"Then what can I do..."

"I heard that the government is hunting insects in the north, is it effective?"

"Somewhat..."

The old man said, but couldn't help sighing.

After hearing this, Song You understood roughly, and asked again, "Excuse me, old man, when did these locusts first appear?"

"It's been a while. I was in the north before. When the crops in the north were finished, they flew to us."

"I heard it was a demon causing trouble?"

"There are so many bugs, they are either monsters or locust gods, otherwise what else can they be?"

"Is it also available in previous years?"

"This bug comes every year, every year, how can we escape its torment? Those of us who farm the land have worked hard for a year, so we just pick up their leftovers." The old man sighed, "It's just Although there are also in previous years, but after they are eaten, there will be some left over, how can there be so many like this year? This year it has become a disaster, most likely, I saw a ghost..."

"I see."

The old man only felt that his back was in severe pain, and taking advantage of a little rest, he put his hands on his back and talked to him: "Where did you come from, sir?"

"People from Lower Yizhou travel around the world."

"Where are you going?"

"I was going to Changjing. I heard that there are monsters here, so I came to have a look."

Hearing this, the old man immediately asked him:
"Sir, are you here to eliminate demons?"

"I have this idea." Song You replied truthfully, "It's just that my skills are limited, so I may not be able to play much role."

The old man sighed again.

"Hey, some time ago there was also a Mr. Demon Eliminator who used a sword. He also said that he was here to eliminate demons. He is fierce. With a flick of the sword, he can dance a strong wind. When the wind is blown, the insects all over the sky fly in pieces. It's just that there are too many bugs in the sky, after a busy day, there seems to be fewer ghost bugs, but there seems to be no less, and it's useless."

"Oh? Where is that Mr. Demon Exorcist now?"

"Say it's gone..."

"That's it."

Song You stood on the ridge of the field again, chatting with him several times, asking him what was planted in the field, how much was planted, how much was harvested, and how much was buried. He only heard the hard work and helplessness of the farmers.

Throughout the dynasties, farmers have always suffered the most.

However, there are still many people who have been away from the farmland for too long. Not only do they not understand the hardships of the farm, but they also say that Tian Zhonggu lives on its own.

It's ridiculous.

"..."

Song You shook his head, and finally said to the old man, "Thank you for your answer, and for helping me."

After speaking, he waved his hand, and also waved a strong wind.

All the locusts on the ground were blown up, and the locusts in the sky were also engulfed by the strong wind. When they hit the ground again, they were all motionless.

Song You bowed his hands to say goodbye to him, and went back to the main road.

Locusts are flying all over the sky.

These locusts have turned black and yellow, which is a change that occurs after living in groups. At the same time, they will become more excited, move in unison, fly up one by one, and when they are the most dense, they almost slam into the ground The Taoist and the bay red horse collided with each other with a loud bang.

At first, Sanhuamao exposed its head and kept spitting fire to protect its Taoist priests and horses, but there were too many locusts, and it didn’t help when she was very tired. Nothing threatening, just annoying, so I gave up and tucked my head into the bag, out of sight and out of mind.

"Ugh……"

Seeing the locusts all over the sky, even a Taoist couldn't help frowning, feeling a little helpless.

Gwangju and Yuezhou and Yanzhou above are places where locusts frequently occur. I heard that there was a locust god enshrined here, but that was just a local evil god, not a righteous god.I heard that he has been restless, and every year he makes some disturbances to harm the crops. Even if he satisfies his appetite, he uses it as a threat to make incense. At that time, the local people did not dare to kill locusts when they saw them, but only dared to suffer in silence. .

Gradually, the locust god grew bigger, his appetite became bigger and bigger, and each time the locust plague became more exaggerated.

The state official who took office later was very courageous, adhering to the great grace of the emperor, in the territory of Dayan, even the gods and ghosts were not allowed to go against the government and make trouble at will, so they directly pulled out the locust god and beheaded him.

Many years followed.

This time I think it should be a natural disaster.

However, there are too many locusts...

Song You frowned.

At this moment, the swallow standing on the horse's back quietly glanced at him, his eyes flickering non-stop, finally mustered up the courage, and said to the Taoist:

"gentlemen……"

"Ok?"

"Maybe...maybe...can deal with this bug..."

"Do you have a good strategy?"

"I don't dare to say a good strategy, it's just that the swallows themselves will eat locusts, and we have the unique ability to transform thousands of swallows into peace..."

When Song You heard it, he remembered it.

Anqing Swallow does have this ability.

When he was in Yuezhou, the swallow and the cat compared spells, and they showed the ability to change.

It's just that although this little swallow's skills are not superficial, since he was with him, he has made great progress, but even if he can turn into hundreds or thousands, how can he kill so many locusts?
Song You couldn't figure it out for a while, but he didn't deny it. He just said to him: "Don't be nervous. Let's take it slowly, locusts are already infested here, and they are spread all over a radius of at least a hundred miles. Even I can't deal with it. If you really have a way Disaster control is to save the people of a certain area, if it can’t be saved, it’s okay, if you can get rid of some, more or less, it’s a good thing.”

"My skills are low, so naturally I can't get rid of so many bugs, but my ancestors have reached the pinnacle here. They can transform into tens of thousands of bodies. Using swallows to hold food, they can eat up the entire official warehouse at once." Swallow paused and then spoke. It became much more stable, "After the ancestor ascended to heaven, he left his body and some feathers for us to share. Thanks to the ancestor's love, I and several other elders who made the most contributions to searching for good breeds overseas got the most share. Divide the feathers on the tip of the three wings, each of which can use the skills of the ancestors in their heyday..."

"I see."

Song You suddenly realized and nodded.

Immortal Anqing Yan has practiced Taoism for thousands of years, whether it is the body of a swallow or his ability, it is just right to cure insects. If he has his ability, it is not a big problem to control insects.

Yanzi continued to stare at him, got affirmed, and became more confident, saying: "Use all three roots, and these bugs will definitely be eliminated..."

"Then I have to thank you on behalf of the local people."

"Don't dare, don't dare..."

Although the swallow's voice is small, it is actually joyful in its heart.

Then he still stood on the horse's back, turned his head behind him, and took out three feathers from his wings like a normal tickling or grooming action.

It looks like it was plucked from itself.

The swallow didn't see any movement, it only flapped its wings with three feathers in its mouth, and rushed to the sky.

"Peng..."

A cloud of smoke suddenly exploded in the sky.

The smoke looks black, as thick as ink, but upon closer inspection, it reveals a faint blue and metallic luster, like the black feathers on the back of a swallow.

Immediately there was only chirp chirp chirp.

It's like countless birds singing in unison.

"Wow..."

Countless swallows flapped their wings, flew out of the smoke, and scattered into the distance. The sound of the wind flapping their wings easily overwhelmed the buzzing of locusts in the sky.

Seeing this group of swallows up close, it looks like a group of dark clouds, until they fly far away and disperse, this group of dark clouds gradually fades away, turning into countless small dots flying towards the distance in the sky, mostly They all flew to unseen places, and some of them lowered their heights nearby, turned back flexibly in the air, hunted and killed locusts, or landed on the ground.

The sky is filled with the sound of birds chirping and wings beating.

This scene lasted for a long time, I don't know how many swallows were released, and finally stopped.

Song You looked up——

It's like traveling through time, seeing the scene of Anqing Yanxian using his skills in the year of the catastrophe to rescue the food from the official warehouse in other places. I think the victims of the disaster at that time saw it, and they were as shocked as he was at that time.

The cat also raised its head high, staring dumbfounded.

"It's amazing..."

There was a soft murmur.
