Such a large-scale drought and locust plague had never been seen in the Shang Kingdom in the past. And this disaster only happened in the Shang country, and the other six countries showed no signs www.biquge.info and were not affected. Normally this is almost impossible. Coupled with the sudden death of the previous Shang king, the mysterious deaths of several successor princes inevitably make people feel that the Shang Kingdom was cursed for some reason. The people of the Shang Kingdom are in danger and panic.

What is even more incredible is that when most of the Shang Kingdom was plunged into scorching, drought, and locust disasters, only the Eastern County under Xiao Qingran's jurisdiction had good weather and no natural disasters. In the counties adjacent to the East County, the locust plague was rampant, like hell, but it did not affect the East County at all. The locusts flew to the border of the East County as if they knew the way, and then they stopped abruptly, either staying or flying back, and none of them entered the territory of the East County.

This naturally caused another discussion inside and outside the business world, which Xiao Bogong and Xiao Changyu did not want to hear.

……

The people sent by Qingran to investigate came back to report that except for the Shang Kingdom, the other six countries were all safe and sound, and did not suffer any drought or locust plague. Qing Ran was puzzled when he learned about it, and told Yu Zimo the results of this investigation.

Changming has returned from Shangdu. Now that the business capital is in an unstable form, Xiao Bogong is preparing for a foreseeable famine. The king of Shang held a large-scale sacrifice in the palace and prayed to the heavens for rain to let the people of the Shang Kingdom escape this catastrophe. Changming found the boy behind the stone temple. Although the drought caused the elm tree where the boy lived to droop its leaves, the boy's clothes were still neat and his face was still charming. The young man told Changming that the drought in Shangguo this year was unusual, and he vaguely felt that some kind of powerful force was manipulating. However, his ability is limited and he cannot perceive what this power is and where it comes from. The previous incident of the leyline being injected with spell water, the power of the earth spirit has been damaged, and with the control of this drought and vague power, the earth spirit has been unable to pass on their spiritual sense to Yu Zimo. The earth spirits could only let Yu Zimo know their current predicament through the young man. Land is the foundation of a country, and if a country is depleted of land and has no spiritual power, then the country will perish on its own without the invasion of foreign enemies. The boy said that although he was a stone spirit, in the final analysis, the source of his power was also the land, and if the situation continued to deteriorate, he would also be affected. He hoped that Changming would go back and tell the princess Yu Zimo, and ask Yu Zimo to find a way as soon as possible.

Qing Yao went to find the tree spirit. Relying on the power of Bai Luan and the peach tree, the tree spirit has completely transformed into a human form, turning into a slender and charming woman. The tree spirit said that thanks to the blessing of the holy peach tree, the trees in the mountains in Dongjun are all safe and can grow normally with the seasons. But she could feel that there was a force outside trying to break through the protective power of the peach tree and break into the territory of Dongshi.

Qing Ran, Chang Ming, and Qing Yao told Yu Zimo the news they got. Yu Zimo was silent and fell into deep thought.

What is certain is that the current situation of the Shang Kingdom is not an absolute natural disaster. It's just that who has such a great power to create such a famine.

"Could it still be Xiao Changyu, he used the spirit to occupy them before, and found other dark wizards. Changming suspected that Chang Yu and their thieves would not die, so they repeated their tricks, and they failed to deal with Dongjun, but instead affected the entire Shang Kingdom.

"It's not impossible. Yu Zimo said, "But this is almost not something that can be achieved by human strength, even the most powerful wizard may not be able to." Unless ......"

"Unless what, princess?"

"Unless the person is using a strong external force. For example, he has a treasure with powerful spiritual powers. ”

"Spiritual treasures, like Bai Luan?"

"Although Bai Luan has a certain amount of spiritual power, it is more about attracting spirits, summoning and using spiritual power within a certain range around it. And the treasure that can cause such a catastrophe needs to be tens of thousands of times stronger than Bai Luan's. ”

Qing Ran and the others were dumbfounded. Something tens of thousands of times greater than Bai Luan's power, what could it be?

"Princess, have you ever seen a treasure with such great power?" asked Chang Ming. He has been following the princess for so long, and he has seen some unusual things, but as the princess said, he has never seen something with such great power, and he has never heard Qing Yao mention it.

"Nope. Although he replied like this, what flashed in Yu Zimo's gloomy eyes was not confusion, but deeper thinking.

"Zi Mo, as far as you know, what treasures will have the powerful power you said?" There should not be many treasures with such power, Qing Ran thought, since they have no clue now, they can't be like before, Yu Zimo They were lucky to meet Ling Zhan and Xiao Changyu, so they speculated and solved the matter of Jiehe. They may be able to start with the treasure and find the person responsible for this disaster.

"Yes, if this person has to use treasures to have such power, that is to say, if we find the person who has these treasures, we can find this person who has done evil. ”

The long sound of the clear question reminder. Changming found more and more that although this Qingran prince looked a little clumsy and wooden, every time he asked questions and dealt with problems, he could always get to the point, and he was even more keen and decisive in dealing with local affairs, and almost inadvertently, he finished handling things, and it was convincing. He seems to have a natural talent for handling things, and with a kind of affinity on his appearance, it should be a combination of his royal blood and his experience growing up in the mountains. Changming gradually saw from Qingran the reason why the princess gave up Xiao Bogong, who had good talent and good looks, and chose him.

Of course, Yu Zimo had already thought about this question, she searched all the classics and asked all the spiritual objects to no avail. Because of this, she has an answer in her heart, that is, "pure mountain".

"If you have to find a treasure with such power, I'm afraid the only one is Jingshan. Yu Zimo replied in a deep voice.

"Pure Mountain is our sacred mountain, how can it become something that is used by people to do evil?" Changming expressed disbelief.

Qingran didn't expect that the answer Yu Zimo said was "Jingshan". He had not been to Jingshan because Jingshan was in the territory of Wufang. The Wufang people excluded the people of the Six Kingdoms, so he did not see Jingshan with his own eyes. But as far as he knows, Jingshan is the common sacred mountain of the Seven Kingdoms, and the mountain is full of fairy energy, inhabited by gods and immortals, and its qi is clear, which can purify the earth and protect the earth. How could such a divine land be used by people and become a force for destruction?

"Pure Mountain has great power, and his power can protect and destroy nations. Yu Zimo said, "It depends on how his power is used." ”
