On a field of devastation, the people screamed bitterly and hatedly, chasing the locusts with their nets.

The locusts have eaten away everything green they can see, and the whole of Chuzhou is barren. Locusts are green creatures that chase green, and wherever they go, they leave for another place.

But now, the million-strong army locked Chuzhou with an eight-gate blockade formation, and this eight-gate blockade formation was a formation arranged by King Chu Huai 20,000 years ago to consume the 800-year national strength of the Chu State.

The eight-gate blockade can block Chuzhou and make Chuzhou invincible.

But the state of Chu ...... Or the destruction of the country. Because the enemy does not necessarily come from the outside, but more often from itself.

The state of Chu was destroyed, but the Bamen blockade array was preserved by the occupiers of successive generations. Because everyone knows that the geographical location of Chuzhou is too important, and this set of eight-gate blockade is the armor put on Chuzhou.

Under the blockade of the Eight Gates, the locusts were unable to escape, so they could only stay in the wilderness of Chuzhou and dance wildly. This is a war between the Terrans and the Zerg, and the bargaining chip of the war is time.

Compared with the bitterness and hatred of adults, the children did not seem to know the seriousness of the matter, and they regarded catching locusts as a play, and excitedly ran across the field with their nets.

"Dangdang-" Suddenly, a rapid gong sounded, and the people who were catching locusts paused one by one, looking at the black and oppressive group of martial arts people coming behind the chief.

There are hundreds of martial arts people, and there are dozens of people, and each group of people is holding a huge wooden card, and the sect and force where they are located are written on the wooden row.

"Fellow villagers, all the heroes have come to eliminate the harm for the people when they see the disaster in Chuzhou. Everyone remembered to me who did chivalrous deeds in times of danger to save us from fire and water.

You see, they are the five hidden gates of Lushan, these are the red leaves, and the white rock gate ......"

As if introducing the entrance to the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, the lieutenant introduced the martial arts people who rushed to the scene. Facing the curious and reverent eyes of the people, the disciples of the martial arts sect suddenly felt as if they had been milked as if they had become extraordinary and super-saints, heroes in the world, and saviors of the people.

After all, they are all young people, and when they hold it so lightly, they are immediately full of strength as if they have been beaten with chicken blood.

"But it's a pity that Xuantian Mansion invited the heroes of the rivers and lakes to help us, but only invited these real famous and decent people, such as the Ancient Sect and the Sword Sect, but the Liu Ming Sect caused a disaster in Chuzhou, so I and He Gan refused to go down the mountain to rescue.

We must be clear in our hearts about who is good to us and who is hypocritical. ”

"Dog's day, in vain, we have been treating them as heroes, and when we really need them, we don't care whether we live or die. ”

"It's better to be in the Wuyin Sect, there are too many heroes in the martial arts sect, and they all say that they are famous and decent. Now I know which ones are decent and which ones are famous......"

Listening to the discussions of the people around him, the disciples of the Martial Arts Sect who killed the locusts were beaten with a wave of chicken blood again, and the speed of the sword light was like lightning and thunder.

Compared with ordinary people, the speed at which people in the rivers and lakes eradicate locusts is really fast. Especially for those who have cultivated to reach the innate realm, a sword light is sacrificed, and the sword qi is vertical and horizontal. The locusts flying in the sky crackled down as if it were raining.

"Huh, with locusts as the enemy, I can actually condense the sword technique, and after using it a few times, I actually understand the sword intent of this white cloud flying snow. ”

"Sixth junior brother, you just found out that practicing in the master is a feeding move between senior brothers, and it is still different from a real fight. Where in the world is there a better sparring partner than locusts.

That is, there is the impermanence of the wind and clouds, and there is the advantage that if there is a mistake, you will not lose your life. If you don't hurry up and regain a new understanding of your martial arts from beginning to end, there will be fewer locusts after a while, but there will be no chance. ”

Suddenly, an interesting scene appeared on the wasteland, and the martial arts people each designated an area to practice swordsmanship and martial arts, using the barren land as a practice ground.

The locusts in the sky fell straight down with a clamour, and the swords in their hands became sharper and more powerful.

The sects that went down the mountain were highly respected by the people, while those martial arts sects that refused because of the mustard of Xuantian Mansion endured the infamy of the people. This infamy is not only the reputation in the hearts of the people.

A locust plague is like a demon mirror, whether it is a person or a ghost, and it is clear in every detail. In the hearts of fellow martial artists in the rivers and lakes, I also instantly understood who was worthy of a hero and who was selfish,、。 Although this word-of-mouth is not out of mouth, it has taken root in the hearts of Jianghu Wulin.

"What??, Xuantianfu actually smeared the image of this sect like this?" the head of the Blade Sect stood up angrily, "This sect is just unwilling to obey Xuantian Mansion's orders to be their dog, where does this sect disregard the lives and deaths of the people......, fake benevolence and righteousness?"

"Senior brother, don't mention the back then! The back year was the year, and the present is the present. The heroes of the year can also become hypocrites now. Suddenly, a voice interrupted the master's words.

"Third Senior Brother, what do you mean by this?"

"It's just the right thing and not the right person, senior brother, Chuzhou is in trouble, the people are suffering, as a martial arts decent, should we care about whether we should help or not?"

"Yes, however, we must not be at the mercy of the eagle dogs of the court......"

"Are we at the mercy of the imperial court in our chivalrous deeds? Then, according to the senior brother's statement, we kill people and set fire to do a lot of evil, but we are not at the mercy of the government, and that is a chivalrous act? Senior brother may have forgotten that we are sitting in Chuzhou in the Blade Gate, and our disciples are all from Chuzhou. ”

When the words landed, there was a sudden noise outside. The two suddenly stopped arguing at the same time, and their figures flashed to the door.

One by one, the disciples of the master carried their bags as if they were about to leave, and the face of the head of the sect suddenly became gloomy, "Senior brother, is it your order?"

"I don't dare!" said the disciple who turned his head and left, "Dong Jianwu, what are you going to do......?

"The master, the three elders, the disciples' parents and brothers all live by farming, and now they are in dire straits, and the disciples can't hide in the mountains and ignore them. The disciple thanks the master for many years of training, the tuition fee of these years, the disciple will not be less, thanks to the grace of the blade gate, the disciple went to the ......"

One by one, the disciples of the blades bowed respectfully to the master, turned around and left without looking back.

The head of the Blade Sect looked at the usually obedient disciples in a daze, and suddenly felt a desolation of being abandoned in his heart.

"Deceive the teacher and destroy the ancestors...... Deceive the teacher and destroy the ancestors......"

"Are they deceiving their teachers and destroying their ancestors? Filial piety comes first, and only when we first honor our parents can we be loyal to our teachers, right? Senior brother, it's not too late to make amends, let's go down the mountain. ”

Looking at the disciples who had gone away, and there were more disciples who appeared one after another with their bags on their backs, he knew that if he had to fight to the end again, he was afraid that not only would people's hearts be scattered, but also their teachers would be scattered.

"Fellow swordsmen, slow down, listen to the words of this seat, all disciples, put down your bags, take your weapons, let's go down the mountain to get rid of the locust plague, what do you want to do with your bags?

"Okay—"

The cries of excitement exploded like thunder on the ground.

At the top of Yuzhu Villa in Wuming Mountain, locusts in the sky rushed in waves like a rain of arrows. Countless sword lights shot up into the sky, and the locusts that fell crackled like a torrential rain.

Lu Li's martial arts have made great progress, and the real half-step cultivation has already stepped into the innate peak. In addition, having Lu Sheng's special Tibetan needle for her in her hand is even more powerful, and her real strength can fight with the real innate peak.

And Lu Li's martial arts at the moment have indeed really broken away from Lu Sheng's shadow and embarked on his own sword path. Although the foundation is Huashan swordsmanship and Dugu Nine Swords, her comprehension of swordsmanship is different from everyone.

The sword qi in the sky is full of the number of locusts killed can only be measured in a single moment. But compared with Bu Feiyan, Lu Li's efficiency is simply a great shame.

The locusts in the sky seemed to form a layer of black clouds with no end in sight, and rushed towards the mountain villa with the momentum of overwhelming the city.

Suddenly, as if a fresh wind swept through the heavens and the earth, endless glow suddenly burst out between the heavens and the earth. Mo Lan, who was not smoked, was unsheathed, and the sword light danced and passed by in a flash.

The sword qi was like smoke and mist, shadowless and invisible, and a hazy spatial distortion appeared and returned to calm in an instant. The dark clouds that covered the sky and the sun, as if blown away by the breeze, crackled and the rain fell mercilessly. After a sword, the locusts in the field of vision danced wildly, and a huge vacuum world appeared.

The locust plague has been around for three days...... For three days, the imaginary mass of refugees did not materialize. Maybe it's because they're too busy, and everyone is busy exterminating locusts. At first, the enthusiasm to exterminate the locusts was quite high, but looking at the seemingly endless locusts, the people suddenly slackened a little.

Fortunately, the addition of martial arts people once again injected new vitality into the army of exterminating locusts. The speed at which martial arts people exterminate locusts is definitely not comparable to ordinary people.

Even with such a large population base in Chuzhou, the number of locusts eliminated is not as good as that of martial arts people.

There was no unrest in the cities, and there was no unrest in the major cities. Every day, the imperial court opened the warehouse on time to release grain, and each household was limited to the purchase of grain, and each household was counted as a capitation, and each person was two taels a day. This bit of rice and noodles can't make people full, but at least they won't starve to death.

Even if the family has money, they have nowhere to buy it if the grain store is not open.

The grain merchants seem to be determined to be hard steel with the government, and if the grain restriction order is not eliminated for a day, they will not open warehouses to release grain. It was thought that this kind of cold war would stop in a very short time, and finally ended in a compromise with the government.

But I didn't expect that the government would be able to hold on for so long.

"Lord Lu, you're running out of food......" He Xingzhi sighed with a sad face.

"How many days is enough?" Lu Sheng also knew in his heart that no matter how much he saved, the official food inventory would not last long. Moreover, it is still only to cope with the grain in the major cities, and once the people in the rural areas outside the city have eaten the food, the demand is really terrible. Once the supply is not enough, it is an uncontrollable mess.

"Two days at most, and we must leave more than one group to help the people outside the city, the people come to exchange for fewer and fewer locusts, I'm afraid it ......"

"Why hasn't there been any movement for the imperial court?"

"It seems that what I feared has happened...... There are people in the court who don't want Chuzhou to have a good time, and they don't want us to have a good time. ”

Lu Sheng's face suddenly fell, "Do they dare to resist and disobey the order? The emperor ordered to help Chuzhou as soon as possible, mobilize the power of the whole country, and save Chuzhou." ”
