"Senior, do you know what is going on in Liangzhou?"

"Those who sent the message said that they were going to Zhongzhou to ask for help at the order of the magistrate of Dafang City."

"After the juniors rescued them, I also learned some about the situation in Liangzhou from their mouths."

"I just didn't expect that the situation here is worse than I thought. As soon as I stepped into this place, I encountered the monster."

"Although the monster's methods are mediocre, it is extremely difficult to deal with, and its methods of escape are endless. Fortunately, I am good at earth escape, so I was able to track it all the way to its lair."

As he said that, Zhuge Lianyun thought of what he had experienced along the way, and a heavy look flashed across his face.

"Didn't you see everything?"

"Hell on earth is nothing but this"

"As for the specific cause, I don't know very well."

Compared to Zhuge Lianyun, who had a heavy face, Deng Yang's expression was quite calm.

In recent years, we have seen too many tragedies in human relations, and he has already developed a mentality of not being happy or sad about things.

Moreover, the original person's memory of more than 100 years had already told him how cruel this world was.

If you are poor, you can take care of yourself; if you are rich, you can help the world. This has always been the code of conduct that Deng Yang believed in.

Although his current cultivation level is good, in the spiritual world, he is far from being an expert. His excessive kindness will only become a burden and drag on him.

It is precisely because he deeply understands this truth that Deng Yang has always maintained an attitude of acting without profit or delay.

It's not that he is born with a hard heart, but he understands that if he wants to truly gain great freedom and do whatever he wants, the prerequisite is to become a master.

Only an accomplished person is qualified to spread his kindness, and he is far from qualified now.

"Senior, did you come to Liangzhou because of Dafang City's request for help?"

After recovering from his heavy heart, he looked around at the surrounding environment. Zhuge Lianyun looked at Deng Yang with a hint of vague awe.

Having tracked the plague corpse from underground all the way here, it was naturally impossible for him not to be unaware of the movement caused by Deng Yang's killing of the heart-eating Gu just now.

It's just that just now he was only focused on destroying the plague corpses, and he didn't have time to look around at the surrounding environment.

Now seeing the mess all over the ground, especially the big pit a few hundred meters away, gave him a more intuitive understanding of Deng Yang's magical powers.

This magical means of changing the terrain was obviously beyond the scope of his understanding, and he couldn't help but feel in awe.

"That's right"

"Can the junior follow the senior on the road?"

After hearing this, Zhuge Lianyun immediately looked at Deng Yang expectantly.

Although he is upright by nature, he is not stupid. He naturally knows that the land of Liangzhou is full of dangers. If he can follow a senior expert like Deng Yang on the road, it will be much safer.

"It's okay to follow me on the road, but I have to declare in advance that you are not allowed to meddle in other people's business along the way, otherwise I won't have time to talk to you."

Glancing at Zhuge Lianyun who looked expectant, Deng Yang pondered for a moment, but did not refuse.

Deng Yang quite admired the fearless spirit of this little Taoist priest who knew that there were tigers in the mountains and preferred to travel to the tiger mountains. Since the destination was the same, there was no harm in taking him on the road with him.

However, he still had to explain some things clearly first. It was okay to take him with him, but if he did not care about life and death and caused trouble along the way, Deng Yang would not tolerate him.

"Thank you senior."

"Since the junior is accompanying the senior on the road, he will naturally be at the mercy of the senior along the way."

Seeing that Deng Yang agreed, Zhuge Lianyun naturally thanked him profusely and looked grateful.

Seven days later, early in the morning.

Although the sun has not yet risen, the muggy heat in the air is a bit more uncomfortable than the dry heat at noon.

After traveling all night, walking on the official road that looked like a desert, Deng Yang was still able to maintain a refreshing state, but Zhuge Liuyun was already sweating and looking exhausted.

Although they have been staying up at night for the past few days, the temperature in Liangzhou at night is not much lower than during the day.

Even with Deng Yang's pseudo-immortal body, he would feel slightly uncomfortable walking in such a sultry environment, let alone Zhuge Lianyun.

Along the way, he was able to keep up with Deng Yang because of his amazing perseverance.

If an ordinary person could survive in such a harsh environment, let alone follow Deng Yang's footsteps, he would be extremely tenacious.

"Senior, that should be Fengshui City!"

After running all the way for more than half an hour, until the sun peeked out slightly on the horizon and the field of vision in front of him gradually broadened, Zhuge Liuyun licked his chapped lips, shook his head, and looked at the green patch of green in front of the road with excitement. Black shadow.

The past few days of traveling day and night had left him very tired. Now that he finally saw his destination, Zhuge Lianyun could no longer contain his excitement.

"probably."

Compared to Zhuge Lianyun's excitement, Deng Yang just nodded slightly.

As the two of them approached, there were more and more dry bones around them. Sand and dust swept everywhere, and the plain under the city wall was like a dead desert.

In the desert, countless simple straw huts and bamboo huts were staggered under the city walls on both sides of the city gate. They were filled with dense figures of people. There were even a few piles of dry corpses piled up not far away, and the air was full of Filled with this turbid stench.

Looking at this scene, Deng Yang's eyes were deep and calm, but Zhuge Lianyun lowered his head subconsciously, unable to bear to look at this cruel scene.

They all know that these refugees who fled here are basically waiting to die based on the current environment in Liangzhou.

The drought in Liangzhou continues for a long time, and Fengshui City may not be able to protect itself, so how can it be able to help them.

Their only way out is probably to venture out of Liangzhou in order to gain a chance of survival.

But judging from the situations Deng Yang encountered along the way, this only way out was extremely slim.

Not to mention the extreme hot weather, it would be difficult for these people to overcome the various crises they may encounter along the way.

"Stop comers!"

When Deng Yang and Zhuge Lianyun approached the city gate, a gatekeeper who was hiding in the shade suddenly jumped out and stopped the two of them.

Looking at the shabby and skinny gatekeeper in front of him, Deng Yang didn't waste any time and took out the token given by Blessing Cloud from his arms and handed it over.

Zhuge Lianyun also took out a set of letters from his sleeves and handed them to the guard guard.

"This is the prefect's token."

Looking at the token in Deng Yang's hand, the gatekeeper's expression suddenly changed slightly, and he said respectfully: "You two, please wait a moment."

After saying that, he immediately walked towards the barracks on the side of the city wall.

"What do you call the two adults?" After a while, a middle-aged man wearing a long coat and a scale hat, dressed as a master, walked out of the barracks.

"I, a member of the Fifth Path, came from Cangzhou at the invitation of the blessing cloud."

Facing the middle-aged master's appraising gaze, Deng Yang's face did not change at all, and he briefly summarized his origins.

"The poor Taoist Zhuge Lianyun, the sorcerer of Kunlun Mountain, was invited by Wang Changshi."

Zhuge Lianyun was much more polite, bowing slightly to the middle-aged master with a gentle look on his face.

"It turns out to be two immortals!"

"Immortal, please come quickly."

Upon hearing the introduction of Deng Yang and the others, the middle-aged master's eyes suddenly lit up, his words were slightly humble, and he led the way for the two of them.

"Two immortals, please take a rest in the government office first, and then go and inform the magistrate."

They led Deng Yang and Deng Yang into the back hall of the government office and ordered the servants on the side to prepare tea. The middle-aged master hurriedly turned around and left.

Deng Yang and Deng Yang were not kept waiting. Not long after the servants served tea, the middle-aged master came to the side hall with an old man wearing a scarlet robe.

"Below Sizhong, I met two immortal leaders."

"At the invitation of Wang Changshi and Zhu Changshi, the two immortal chiefs traveled thousands of miles to come to Liangzhou's aid. I am grateful to the people of Liangzhou for their support."

After taking a look at Deng Yang and the two of them, they found that the magistrate's attitude was very low-key. His face was full of politeness and there was no official airs at all.

"Your Excellency, you are too polite. I am a monk. Subjugating demons is the duty of practitioners like us."

Faced with Fang Sizhong's official manner, although Deng Yang said nothing, he looked impatient. Zhuge Lianyun stood up politely and gave his response solemnly.

"The two immortals look like they are running around. They must be tired. Master Huang, please go down first and have someone prepare a table of meals, and then prepare some hot water for washing."

After carefully observing the expressions of Deng Yang and Deng Yang, Fang Sizhong turned around and gave instructions to the middle-aged master beside him without showing any expression on his face.

"This"

As soon as Fang Sizhong said these words, Zhuge Lianyun immediately thought of the villagers who died of thirst outside the city. His expression changed slightly, and he subconsciously wanted to refuse, but Deng Yang stopped him.

Zhuge Lianyun was upright and could not see Fang Sizhong's intention.

But Deng Yang knew very well that the so-called preparation of meals and washing up were just excuses, and their main purpose was just to drive away this middle-aged master.

And according to the description of the blessing cloud, this Fang Sizhong should be the magistrate of Dafang City who escaped with him.

"Master Magistrate, could you first introduce to us the current situation in Liangzhou?"

Ignoring Zhuge Lianyun's puzzled gaze at all, after the middle-aged master left, Deng Yang looked directly at Fang Sizhong and said quietly.

"To be honest with you two immortals, the situation in Liangzhou is already in danger."

"I think the two immortals must have had a certain understanding of the severe drought in Liangzhou along the way."

"Since the severe drought started at the beginning of last year, Liangzhou has been hit by a series of natural disasters such as drought, locusts, flies, and plague for more than a year."

"Now in Liangzhou, except for those who escaped, there are no living people left."

"Other natural disasters are fine, but the key point is that the locust plague has undergone some kind of strange mutation, and now it has reached the point where it is difficult to control."

"Now, in the three prefectures and twelve counties in the northwest region, except for Fengshui City, all the rest have fallen."

When he talked about the locust plague, Fang Sizhong couldn't help but have a flash of deep fear in his eyes.

The Fang family has occupied the northwest territory of Liangzhou for a hundred years.

Being able to govern themselves in this Liangzhou land, the Fang family is naturally not an ordinary family. Its ancestor is a strange immortal, and he is proficient in the strange witchcraft.

It can be said that this witchcraft is the inheritance method of the Fang family.

Although Fang Sizhong is not familiar with spiritual practice, he comes from a family of witchcraft and Gu, so he is naturally no stranger to the art of witchcraft and Gu.

But it was precisely this that made him realize more deeply the horror of the locust plague.

The unparalleled potential for evolution and adaptation is simply beyond their imagination.

The witchcraft that their Fang family practiced and the various kinds of gu they cultivated were simply vulnerable to those mutated locusts.

However, their ancestor of the Fang family, before the locust plague started, had passed away for some unknown reason.

Otherwise, with the help of a Gu Immortal who has become a strange immortal, their Fang family will not be reduced to abandoning Dafang City, which they have been operating for a hundred years, and fleeing to Fengshui City.

For the Fang family, these successive disasters are like a leak in the house and rain all night. Not only did the ancestor of the family who became a Gu Immortal die for no reason, but now even the family fortune left behind by the family is about to be unbearable.

Thinking of this, Fang Sizhong couldn't help but reveal a trace of sadness in his eyes.

"Don't you, the Fang family, organize any effective counterattack?"

Hearing this, Deng Yang showed a hint of contemplation on his face.

According to Blessing Cloud, this Fang family should be the actual controller of the northwest territory of Liangzhou.

Being able to control nearly half of a state's territory, the Fang family must have the power to fight against other forces. Even if it cannot suppress the infinitely proliferating locust plague, it should not be so vulnerable.

"I am dissatisfied with the immortal. Not long after this severe drought began, my ancestor of the Fang family died for no reason."

"Our Fang family also uses the art of witchcraft to pass down the family business. With the ability of our ancestor, if he were still here, our Fang family would not be in this situation now."

"."

Fang Sizhong was naturally clear about Deng Yang's intentions. Now that the Fang family was in this situation, Fang Sizhong had nothing to hide, so he directly revealed the origins of their family.

Speaking of the ancestor of the Fang family, Fang Sizhong couldn't help but have a wry smile on his face.

With the death of the Fang family's ancestors, even without these natural disasters, the Fang family's foundation would have been difficult to maintain.

In this situation, Fang Sizhong has long since given up on reviving the family. His only request now is to leave some foundation for the Fang family to prevent it from completely declining.

"A family of witchcraft and Gu?"

After hearing this, Deng Yang's eyes suddenly froze.

This is really a coincidence. The Fang family happens to be a family of witchcraft and Gu. Just after the ancestor of the Fang family died, the mutated locusts appeared. If there was no connection, Deng Yang would never believe it.

How could there be such a coincidence in the world?
