Three days later, Gu Qiubai and the others finally arrived at the Wild Road.

"It's so desolate—" This was the first impression of the wilderness to everyone.

The wilderness road is located in a hilly area, and as far as the eye can see, the surrounding area is covered by mountains and rivers, and the terrain is dangerous, as if people return to the original area.

Most of the land here is red, as if it has been stained with blood, and there is a hint of desolation in the desolation, which makes people feel very oppressed.

It seems that under the influence of this red earth, the aura of heaven and earth in this realm is extremely scarce, probably only about half of the outside world.

There are no Taoist sects and merchants who want to live here, so this has also led to the lack of wisdom of the people here, and most of the people are very barbaric and backward.

The architecture here is also very unique, not made of rubble, but small oval-shaped spaces made of cloth and hemp rope, similar to real-world yurts, but easier to carry.

Of course, in the event of heavy rain or snowstorms, these buildings will not be able to cover the same area as tiled houses, so the survival rate here is lower than in other places.

Knowing these circumstances, the minds of the Ninth Piaoling and the others became even heavier.

"Old and Decadent Barbarian Dao Mansion Yin Yueqing to meet His Royal Highness ...... Nine"

At this moment, an old man in a red and black official robe walked over with a cane, bowed down and spoke.

"Old Yue, I haven't seen you for a few years, hasn't your leg recovered yet?" Yan Beiming looked at the old man and said.

"Back then, the demon beast rioted and hurt the origin, I'm afraid it won't get better, but it's not in the way, it's not in the way, it's not a big deal to be old, just a lame leg." Yue Qing waved his hand.

"Hey, after so many years, it's really hard for you." Yan Beiming's voice was a little heavy.

"What did General Yan say, this is the place where I was born and raised, the old man only hopes to make a meager contribution to his homeland, but his skills are limited, and he can't let the life of the hometown people live a better life, the old man is really guilty, and he is ashamed of the trust of the Chu Emperor." Yue Qing lowered his head and sighed, his tone was very sad.

"Elder Yue doesn't have to blame himself, my father has mentioned you many times, saying that if it weren't for you, this barbaric road might become something, and your contribution to the Chu State will always be remembered by the younger generations...... Speaking of which, it is still the state of Chu that owes you all these years. The Ninth Drifting Spirit said at this time.

"What is His Royal Highness Nine saying, for the sake of the Chu State, for the sake of his hometown, the old man is willing to bow and die as hard as he can!" Yue Qing hurriedly said.

"With Yue Lao's words, I am a lot more relieved, the younger generation is only shallow in learning, this time I came to the wild road, there is something I don't understand, and I hope that Yue Lao will not hesitate to give advice." The Ninth Drifting Spirit saluted.

"His Royal Highness Nine's talent has always been heard, this time His Royal Highness Nine took over the Wild Road, and the old man was also overjoyed, and the old man first thanked His Highness Nine for not forgetting our barbaric land......"

Gu Qiubai stood aside silently, looking at this old man, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Although this person's cultivation is only in the middle stage of Jindan, the bookish qi on his body is unusually rich, and he has actually reached the level of a great Confucian.

Born in this kind of poor mountains and bad waters, it is extremely difficult to cultivate to the middle stage of Jindan, and more importantly, to be able to have the level of a great Confucian.

If this person is placed in a normal environment, he is definitely one of the best geniuses in the Dao Sect.

It's a pity that I was trapped in this poor mountain and bad water and wasted my life.

"Is there really anyone in the world who gives up his future for the sake of his hometown?" Gu Qiubai couldn't help but think.

He is accustomed to seeing the sinister world, most of them are mercenary, and the worst thing is to protect himself, where will he care about the life and death of others.

This kind of sage seems to only exist in books now, and it is really unaccustomed to seeing one inexplicably.

"Your Royal Highness the Nine, come with me, the old man has already arranged a residence for you, but the humble house is shabby, I hope you don't mind." Yue Lao said.

It took a few hours to finally come to the center of the Wild Road, where the conditions were better than the outside world, but the environment was still harsh.

The mansion is still a yurt-like building, but it is larger than the other houses.

Furniture such as sleepers and dining tables are already prepared inside, so it can be regarded as readily available.

Near noon, Yue Lao had already prepared lunch, which was basically meat, with only a few plates of vegetarian food.

It's not that it's a luxury, it's that many crops can't survive at all, so they have to rely on hunting to make a living.

At the level of Gu Qiubai and the others, in fact, they can already open the valley, and lunch is just a formality.

"Elder Yue, after lunch, I'm going to go around the places to inspect it, and when I come back, please give me a copy of the archives of the Wild Road in the past few years." After the politeness, the ninth fluttering spirit began to get down to business.

"Naturally, naturally, the materials of the past ten years have all been prepared." Yue Lao said.

Gu Qiubai is not good at management, so he didn't ask too much about this kind of thing.

It wasn't until a quarter of an hour later, after the group had tasted a little local food, that the Ninth Piaoling stood up, ready to spend time doing a field survey to understand the basic situation of the people.

I have to say that the Ninth Piaoling Spirit's resolute appearance is still quite a bit of Mingjun's taste.

After all, it is difficult to make effective reforms without a thorough understanding of the needs and difficulties of the people based on a few recorded materials.

Just as everyone was about to go out, a burly man in a beast robe hurriedly ran over, panting and said, "My lord, it's not good, there is news from Huangquan Mountain, it seems that there is going to be a demon beast riot!" ”

When Yue Qing heard this, his face changed, and he said, "How can this be, there was only one demon beast riot three months ago, and under normal circumstances, it should be half a year later." ”

Thinking of the harm caused by the monster riot to the people, the face of this great Confucian who had read poetry and books turned pale for a while.

"We don't know, the mountain said that a small wave of demon beasts has rushed out and been hunted by them, this is the prelude to the beast tide coming, my lord, you have always been resourceful, please think of a way!" The man pleaded.

"This ......," Yue Qing was speechless for a while.

Although he had read the books of the sages, in the face of this situation, there was no better way than to block it with brute force, disperse the attack range of the demon beast tide, and reduce the losses.

Moreover, it has only been three months since the last Demon Beast Tide broke out, and the people have not recovered from the damage at all, if another Beast Tide Attack breaks out, the Wild Road will usher in a fatal blow!

Yue Qing seemed to be ten years old in an instant, and all these years of hard work seemed to be about to be wasted all at once.

Ninth Piaoling naturally heard the conversation between the two, raised his eyebrows, and then turned his head to look at Gu Qiubai beside him.

Gu Qiubai felt the gaze of the Ninth Drifting Spirit, his eyes blinked, and he said, "Don't you want to know how I am going to solve this matter, come with me." ”
