As the sun rose, the residents of Pingshan Town who had not fled walked out of their homes and gathered in the square under the greeting of the mayor. When they heard the fierce battle of the previous night, and now they saw King Heng and his strange army, they were all very excited, and repeatedly begged King Heng to make sure that they would not be harmed by the burning army.

Yin Shi appeased the people on the one hand, and learned about the situation from the mayor on the other hand, and the mayor's report was basically the same as Guan Liangping's statement, and Pingshan Town was the hardest hit area by the burning army.

"Your Majesty, although our Pingshan Town is separated by a world to the west, there has never been an invasion of the Burning Army in the past, especially the gluttony, it is just a legendary beast, and no one has ever seen it with their own eyes. But now, together with the Burning Ghosts, they come in droves, and they do a lot of harm. The mayor recounted.

Yin Shi reassured the people and said, "Pingshan Town will be heavily guarded soon, and then, we will find out where the burning army came from as soon as possible, and we will definitely put an end to future troubles." ”

Then, Yin Shi ordered Guan Liangping to mobilize thousands of soldiers on the border to Pingshan Town to guard in shifts, preparing to encircle and suppress the burning army day and night. He also called on the whole country to support the western Xinjiang region, so that everyone here must bring a killer weapon when traveling, and every household can put up lights at night. In addition, Yin Shi also ordered relevant scholars in the palace to visit and study in person.

After arranging many matters, Yin Shi personally led the strange army team to inspect the western frontier in the territory of Heng Kingdom. I saw that the "heavenly separation" composed of blue brick city walls meandered between the mountains, towering into the clouds, and it was difficult for even the strongest martial arts in the Xuan Realm to fly over. Yin Shi thought that the burning army should not come from across the sky, but he couldn't tell where the burning army came from.

Just when he was full of anxiety, suddenly, he remembered that Ye Yanjian was about to visit Hengguo, and maybe someone else had already arrived in Yuhuang City. So, he immediately sent a team of 100 people back to the palace, and ordered that Ye Yanjian and the scholars in the palace must be brought to Pingshan Town as soon as possible.

Two nights passed, and Guan Liangping's soldiers and horses surrounded and annihilated more than a dozen invading gluttons and burning ghosts every night. However, there are always soldiers who are injured. To deal with the burning army, for ordinary soldiers, martial arts and killing weapons in their hands are very important, and sharp blades such as long knives and long swords are still the first choice.

Scholars from Heng have spontaneously come to visit and study, but no one has yet been able to discover where the burning army came from.

On the morning of the third day, Ye Yanjian and three scholars from the Ji Kingdom and three scholars from the palace arrived at Pingshan Town under the escort of 100 strange soldiers.

The town of Pingshan is being rebuilt, there is construction everywhere, and there are soldiers everywhere to guard it.

Yin Shi and Ye Yanjian met very cordially, shaking hands and hugging, and the greetings became very polite, not as casual as in Shiming City.

"Lord Yah, I didn't expect that your trip to the Kingdom of Heng would begin like this. Yin Shi said apologetically.

"King Heng, the matter of the invasion of the burning army is very important, and of course we in the Fengyun Pavilion must bear the brunt of learning the truth. In addition, you should let Ziyun Mountain know the details as soon as possible, no matter whether Ziyun Mountain has done something or not, you can always order the people of Xuan Tianxia to be vigilant. ”

"I have quickly sent someone to inform Ziyun Mountain. ”

After a brief chat, they quickly launched a field trip with the scholars under the escort of the Wonder Soldiers.

However, they went on the road for two days in a row, morning and night, but found nothing. However, at night, Ye Yanjian and the scholars finally witnessed the appearance of the burning army, and they were all terrified.

In the early morning of another day, when they were about to set off again, a scholar named Wei Qingfeng suddenly asked, "King Heng, Lord Yee, can we go south today?"

"Why?" asked Yasyan.

"We have found out that there is no damage to the thousands of miles of 'blue bricks and heavens' in the western frontier of Hengguo, and the invasion of the burning army is very strange, especially the gluttony does not seem to be able to fly across the sky. Wei Qingfeng said.

"Pingshan Town is located near the southwestern interface of the Heng Kingdom, and the south does not belong to the Underworld, how could the Burning Army come from there?" asked a Heng Kingdom scholar.

"We're going to look at the southwest interface that connects to the sky, maybe there's a loophole there. Another scholar named Zhan Youbin from the Hengguo Palace said.

Wei Qingfeng hurriedly said yes, "Yes, that's exactly what I mean." ”

Yin Shi ordered the strange soldiers to open the way and went straight to the southwest interface. In less than half an hour, they arrived at the end of the world, at the foot of Ping Mountain.

"Your Majesty, above is the last mountain where the Tianxuan ends, Ping Mountain. Zhan Youbin introduced.

"The 2,500-li southern frontier of our Heng country is the same as the 2,500-li southern frontier of Yasukuni, and it has always been connected to the spiritual realm. According to records, seven or eight hundred years ago, we Hengguo people could also communicate directly with the Spirit Clan. However, since then, the scope of the Spirit Clan's activities has been shrinking day by day, and now it is limited to the southeast corner of the Xuan Realm, and only the Yasukuni people still have contact with them. Yin Shi explained.

"Your Majesty, although the scope of the Spirit Clan's activities is limited to the southeast corner, the east and south of our entire Xuan Realm are still within the scope of the Spirit Realm. For example, Ping Shan, we can't reach the top of the mountain and the other side of the ridge because there is a 'shadowless sky'. Without the invitation of the Spirit Race, it is impossible for us Terrans to cross the 'Shadowless Heaven'. Zhan Youbin said.

"In this case, the Burning Army should not be able to cross the double heavenly separation, because there is also a 'shadowless heavenly separation' between the spiritual realm and the underworld. A scholar of the Ji Kingdom judged.

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw two gluttons roaring out of the gap in the ridge of Pingshan Mountain in the south.

It was the first time that Ye Yanjian had seen Tao Tao so clearly during the day, and he was stunned, and the rest of the scholars were also panicked.

Yin Shi ordered the strange soldiers to wait in formation, he himself did not move, the two gluttonous bodies were withered, the head was ghost-faced and big-mouthed, and the ghost-eyed knife on the side of the body let out a terrible roar.

"Although gluttony eats living creatures, it eats very slowly, and in comparison, it is still the burning of ghosts that is more harmful. Guan Liangping introduced.

The two gluttonous beasts roared in front of them.

Yin Shi flew up, holding the golden sword and struck a blow, and the white light emitted instantly turned the two gluttons into ashes.

"King Heng, you are truly valiant and powerful. One scholar raised his thumb and exclaimed, and the rest of the scholars followed suit and were amazed.

"Your Majesty, the gap in the ridge of Pingshan Mountain, which we call 'missing teeth', is several zhang wide, and we must immediately arrange manpower to go up and build a 'blue brick sky gap'. Guan Liangping asked.

"Okay! You have to deploy your defense forces first, and annihilate the burning army in the Missing Tooth Circle. Then, immediately arrange manpower to build a 'blue brick sky gap'. I will give you all my support. Yin Shi commanded.

Yin Shi immediately ordered the mobilization of manpower and material resources to build a "blue brick sky separation" in Pingshan. After making arrangements, he led his team of strange soldiers, and returned to Yuhuang City with Ye Yanjian, Jiguo scholars, and palace scholars.

Yin Shi, Ye Yanjian, Zhan Youbin and Wei Qingfeng rode in the same horse cart, and they inspected and talked all the way.

"Ladies and gentlemen, why is there a loophole in the 'shadowless heavenly separation' between the underworld and the spirit world, the occult world and the spirit world, this is something I never imagined, what do you think of this problem?" Yin Shi asked, he had been puzzled.

"Your Majesty, this should have something to do with the decay of the Spirit Race. The smaller the Elven population, the smaller the range of movement you mentioned. It is possible that they are running out of energy, and they can no longer maintain the integrity of the 'Shadowless Sky Separation'. Zhan Youbin replied.

"Your Majesty, the fact that the range of the Burning Army can reach the edge of the underworld shows that they are getting stronger and stronger. Wei Qingfeng said.

"If that's the case, wouldn't we have to face an even bigger crisis?" Yin Shi asked.

"Your Majesty, it should be like this, once there are more loopholes in the 'Shadowless Sky Separation', we are afraid that we will have to face the burning army. Zhan Youbin replied.

"Do we need to take precautions and build a 2,500-mile 'blue brick sky separation' in southern Xinjiang?" Yin Shi asked.

"Your Majesty, that would be too laborious and costly, and hurt the national strength. Wei Qingfeng replied.

Ye Yanjian also suggested, "King Heng, it is obviously too expensive to build a 'blue brick sky separation' of 2,500 miles in the southern frontier of Hengguo. It is better to build more sharp weapons, require everyone to practice martial arts, run more martial arts schools, train warriors, and take the invasion of the burning army as the best policy. ”

"Well, your suggestion is very good, after I return to the palace, I will immediately issue an edict to make more sharp weapons, set up more martial arts schools, and require everyone to practice martial arts and master the skills of killing and burning the army. Yin Shi said, but he was still puzzled, and asked again, "The spirit world and the spirit race have always made people yearn for it, but the spirit race is becoming more and more decayed, and the underworld and the burning army have always been avoided by people, why is the burning army getting stronger and stronger?"

"Your Majesty, we still lack an in-depth study of this. Wei Qingfeng replied, looking depressed.

Ye Yanjian replied, "King Heng, although the spirit world makes people yearn for it, the spirit clan is becoming more and more disdainful of being in the company of others. Although the underworld is avoided, the burning army is inexhaustible and cannot be killed. The last city in the northern frontier of Yu and the end of the western frontier of Yiguo, these two border passes, all the time, the border guards sent by the Seven Kingdoms took turns to fight and kill the burning army. However, the number of burned troops continues unabated, and I am afraid that in the future, it will take the concerted efforts of the seven countries to stop the danger of burning troops. ”
