The second year of Yuanping was neither peaceful nor peaceful.

Several major events occurred one after another on the land of Nanliang, seeing that half of the rivers and mountains across the river were about to be unstable, and the Quartet Yekou rose like fire, burning the plains in the north and south of the river.

Since March, the situation has changed again, the chaos in Xizhou will not appear now, Taoyang, Zhuquan revolted one after another, after being determined by Song Yiyun, there are the Tu people in the two prefectures of Yanfang and Liqu to rebel and refuse to obey the king, and the imperial court awarded the general to gather his troops and horses to quickly exterminate.

The fight in the south is hot, the displaced people flee in all directions, and Yunzhou is inevitably uneasy, and there are also strongmen who take the opportunity to pull up a group of thieves and cholera in the township.

In August, the Song butcher was ordered to go out to the southwest, and before leaving, he beat all the large and small mountains in the seven states, suppressed the arrogance, and integrated the soldiers and horses to loot money and grain, and the bandits suffered countless losses, and the peace was peaceful for a while.

However, this situation lasted for a short time, turning over the New Year, staying in the first year of Zhanghe, from January to April, accidents continued, Fengqing was lost, Emperor Liang fled south, Jianye fell, and the rich Jiangnan that used to make people linger and go back and forth, known as the fairyland of the world, was beaten to pieces.

Counting the equally erosive Hejian land, only the Jiangbei area can still maintain the only stability among the most important places in Daliang today.

The events in the east turned into a hurricane, and they also flew to the southwest, and when they saw the strength of the Salvation Army and the Taiping Army, the local thieves seemed to be encouraged, and they felt more and more that the days of the Great Liang were short, so the bandits who had died down were restless again.

There are mountains and moats separated by moats, and there is still a soldier and horse of the Song Butcher stationed in Xizhou, so the thieves who made trouble in Yunzhou did not flood to the west for a while, but turned their heads and committed countless sins together with the thieves in the rest of the state capitals.

"Yunzhou is on Chongzhou, Xiazhou, Dongjie Jinjiang and Yining, Lizhou, except for Chongzhou, there is a Jiedu town, the rest of the places are only stationed in the local militia, the armament is relaxed, often retreating into the city, and all places outside the city are secretly abandoned and given to the thieves."

Chen Yu walked out of the southwest, only then did he know how turbulent the situation in the world was, Qian Xuanzhong's Yuanyangmen was not an exception, in the face of those important towns and cities guarded by soldiers and horses, there was nothing to do, the crazy bandits turned their eyes to others, such as villages with a large number of old and young, or small cities and counties with small populations.

"The anti-thieves are in chaos, and the powerful ones even tried their best to rob the Western Regions from nowhere, wearing armor and hanging guns......"

When he heard this, he felt sad for this so-called girder, you must know that horses are a precious object today, and ordinary generals can't afford to bring a team of 100 cavalry, but a few gangs of bandits and thieves who are now ravaging thousands of miles and several states can raise hundreds of cavalry!

No matter how inferior the armor weapons are, the cavalry can finally play a great advantage in the territory of Yima Pingchuan.

"No wonder, at first glance, the population is almost extinct, and it turns out that they have either fled to the city for refuge, or have been looted or slashed and killed."

Placing the floating field behind him and placing it properly, and supporting it with the formation under the bronze mirror cover, he turned into a rainbow and fled away, and quickly headed towards Qiyang.

Compared with going on the road alone, Ukitian was too slow, Chen Yu was guided by his spirit and let him move forward slowly, while he was one step ahead and no longer delayed.

……

Qiyang County, compared to the scene half a year ago, the city at this time is much more deserted.

"At the beginning, I didn't know which god killed me, I brought the mountain crossers in, the city guards scattered and fled, the county lord was picked up from the bed, and his children and grandchildren, a total of eleven or two, all had their heads cut off at the entrance of the vegetable market, and the remaining women were taken captive up the mountain, and I don't know how many are still alive."

In front of a tea shop, Chen Yu chatted with the old farmer wearing a hat, the atmosphere of this city was stagnant, and the changes of a few months ago still could not be washed up until now.

"Dare to ask the old man, but the Yuanyang Gate was poisoned by the old man's mouth?"

He asked, but the old man shook his head, took the light tea and poured it: "Xiaodao Chief, those mountain crossers came around August last year, and Yuanyangmen ...... Gone in May! ”

Speaking of this, the other party sighed again, "The owner of the Qianmen of Yuanyangmen is a good man, he is upright, and the young people in the gate also help the families in the city to do what they can, and the old man has planted Lu Gu with them before, and they are all honest and honest guys." ”

Pity.

The old man was indignant and said: "It's a pity that everyone is gone, originally after the Long Whale Gang started, there were still some people left in Yuanyang Gate who escaped, but when the Long Whale Gang left, I wanted to reunite in Shanmen, but a group of thieves came and poisoned them overnight." ”

He slapped it heavily on the wooden table, as if sympathizing with his misfortune, "Those heartless people don't even let go of the two-year-old dolls, they don't count if they are poisoned, they are all pierced in holes, and there is not a single corpse left!" ”

Chen Yu listened quietly, sometimes asking a question, and the old man told him everything he knew, and in the end, he got the information he wanted, sent another bowl of tea and turned to leave.

On the road, there are few pedestrians, and it is a big city, but from the entrance to now, most of the people have been closed, and the pedestrians are also in a hurry and dressed plainly.

According to the old man, the Long Whale Gang is a gang from the north, and the other party doesn't know what purpose it has, in short, it confronted Yuanyangmen for half a year, and finally the conflict broke out, causing bloodshed.

The specific reason is that the old man doesn't know, but he heard that the rest of the people said that it was related to the baby, and there were also rumors that it was the leader of the Long Whale Gang who took a fancy to the status of Yuanyangmen in Qiyang County and wanted to replace it, and there were even rumors that the fuse of the struggle between the two factions was the youngest daughter of Qian Yunjiao, the owner of Yuanyangmen.

In short, there are all kinds of strange theories, and there is no consensus.

However, compared with the information he heard in Xizhou, thousands of miles away, he naturally gained a lot from being in the city.

Qian Xuanzhong had indeed returned to the city, and he would not wait for him to rush back to Qiyang, it had already been a few months, and the Koudu had already looted and left.

"At that time, Brother Qian was still near Guangyong, thousands of miles away, which probably made it extremely difficult to connect with Yuanyangmen."

Tsing Yi Jian was grief-stricken when he failed to catch up, and a vendor in the city told Chen Yu that he had seen the young man kneeling in the courtyard and weeping.

Stomp, stomp!

On the other side of the corner, Chen Yu came to the old site of Yuanyang Gate, which was even more dilapidated than the rest of the surrounding portals.

Stepping in, you can see blood stains everywhere, which have turned black and red, which is even more secluded.

The body was carried out by the neighbors in the city, Yuanyangmen is quite famous in the city, the first time it was attacked by the Long Whale Gang, there were people to help cheer, but the second time was too unexpected, a group of people broke into the city, lurking in the dark night, and poisoned the remaining Yuanyangmen people without knowing it.

"What hatred and what resentment ......"

I didn't rummage, it was messy everywhere, and even if there were clues, they were scattered and erased in the wind and sun.

Silver rays flickered, and ripples rippled in the air.

A primordial spirit raised his right palm, and the gold and silver floating shadows all over his body surged out from the center of his eyebrows.

"No, not here—is it true that there is nothing left?"

Shining one by one, Chen Yu cooperated with the Yuan Shen, and the concept of all things was mixed with majestic spiritual power, rendering the entire courtyard like an ocean.

Hey!

Having found something, he stepped forward and removed a wisp of thought that had stuck to the ruins.

At this moment, a passer-by walked by at the door, and saw the Taoist looking in the dilapidated courtyard, and was about to speak after frowning, but Chen Yu, who turned around, took the lead in asking: "This good man, bothering one or two, dare to ask if there have been strangers here this month?" ”

The thoughts that others can't see are floating in the palms, and the faint malice in the darkness is very familiar to him who has been immersed in people's thoughts recently.

Someone has been here, with very strong evil thoughts, and they are all habitual criminals who kill people and set fires, and with the purity of such evil thoughts, there is no doubt that the crime is extremely evil, and the time they have come here is not more than ten years at the latest!

However, the answer surprised him.

"No, there were more in the past few months, and no one has come recently, especially after the Long Whale Gang and the Washan Kou were wiped out one after another."

“……”

He was surprised, and the two of them heard that the forces in their ears turned their heads and said that they had been raised with ashes.

"Do you know who did it?"

Faintly, Chen Yu guessed, and sure enough, the passers-by did not hide it, and said bluntly that it was the Tsing Yi Sword who had been practicing outside for a long time and broke into the name of Nuo.

"It was a poor man, alone, and came back about once a day in nine days, as if he was carrying something, a bloody lump, and I happened to open the shop at that time, and I saw each other at the beginning."

Speaking of this, passers-by couldn't help but sigh again and again, and said that Qian Xuanzhong looked like he was dead.

"Then he left, and then the news of the destruction of the Long Whale Gang and the Watariyama Gang came."

According to the other party, not long after the news of these two things spread, in the past two days, because he runs a shop, he is one of the few merchants in the city who has not fled, so he has heard more things than others in the past two days.

"Thank you."

Let's say, pull back a wisp of spirit, and the Xuanyang Void Sense Technique Spirit Text that danced at the fingertips was extinguished, and the other party scratched his head with a question mark, only to feel that he was in a daze in front of the door for a moment.

Induce confiding and blurring the impression, because he is in the city and the other party is just a passerby, and he does not have many evil thoughts, Chen Yu did not directly check his memory, and used a little trick to stir the head of the passer-by by the way, it is estimated that he is bored at the moment, his mind is clear, and he has long left without care.

And he, on the other hand, digested the other party's words.

The only wisp of evil thoughts in his hand dispersed, and Chen Yu's face was solemn, because he thought that if only Qian Xuanzhong returned here, then it meant that this evil thought was born from the other party.

"Evil thoughts, human thoughts...... Spiritual obsession ......"

Call! After a few moments, he let out a sigh of relief, knowing that his detection of evil thoughts and the way he dealt with them had to be changed.

It is not difficult to guess that Brother Qian, who returned to Qiyang, should also know who the real enemy is, so he took revenge, and there were a lot of evil thoughts that were impregnated in the process.

"Human thoughts are not divided into good and evil, no matter what kind of good and bad things are, as long as they touch people's hearts, a trace of thoughts will be born and float to the goal."

It was really poorly considered before, and the current situation was omitted.

Soon it occurred to him that if this is the case, then he also has it?

The primordial spirit crossed his knees, hanging in the air and swaying a large amount of spiritual silver.

Sure enough, not surprisingly, there was a thin layer of thought wrapped around the body, pitch black and distorted, but it was resisted by the misty blue light, and it was neutralized and dissipated at a slow speed.

"Anyway, how can mana be consumed all the time?"

It turns out that this is the reason.

Chen Yu exploded his mana, turned into two Qingyun and scrubbed up and down, and finally grinded his evil thoughts to the point that there was nothing left before he couldn't finish it.

The mana rubs and confronts evil thoughts, making consciousness clearer and more transparent, as if washing away dust.

There was a flash of thought in his eyes, which was a little interesting.

……

In the end, Chen Yu still returned to the floating field, and it was obviously impossible to track down the other party with just a wisp of thought, at least with his current methods.

However, this trip is not without gain, and it is somewhat confirmed that Qian Xuanzhong is still alive and did not die, but as a vengeful person looking for his enemy. As for where he went after the revenge, few people in Qiyang knew.

After leaving the deserted county town, he went to the so-called Dushan Kou, where the village was empty, a faint fishy smell floated in the air, and several decomposed corpses could be seen.

In September, there is really no human appearance.

Then I went to the original station of the Long Whale Gang, a small town, and as a result, people went to the empty building, and I heard that some of the gang members left a long time ago, and the rest also died in the revenge of the Tsing Yi Sword.

"It's ruthless."

After hearing that these two forces had been wiped out, Chen Yu sighed, it was hard to imagine that the person who was now killing and could be called an executioner would be the humble and polite chivalrous man.

Although it is difficult to persuade liberation, if you really want to meet it in the future, it is not impossible to help you with a little help.

As soon as the original spirit shines, the mind is resettled, and no matter how many delusions are swept away.

As for the forces that shot Yuanyangmen, if they have the opportunity to dig it out, they will naturally not let it go.

"Wantonly killing, poisoning, breaking down the city, plundering ......"

These are not good things, it's just that he doesn't understand what that family is poisoning for, it is said that Yuanyangmen is just like Haiyunguan, living in a county, there are really treasures worth fighting so much?

He hadn't thought it was an elixir, after all, the spirit plant didn't appear at the bottom of the mountain in May.

However, from Qiyang City, he had already turned inside and out, and he couldn't find much news, and after thinking about it, Chen Yu went back to Futian, planning to follow the direction of Brother Qian's last traces.

"Bottle Mountain...... Yining direction? It's just right. ”

I have long heard that there is a canyon there, where unique medicinal herbs grow, and there are many sects and Taoist temples in Yining, Chen Yu originally planned to go and see it, but at this moment it was a good way.

Yining is a wealthy one, at least a few years ago, far surpassing the seven southwestern states, with a lot of power, and most of the background is not shallow.

At that time, you can take a look and think about the Taoist scriptures, interior scenes, secret treasures, etc.

Now, the fusion of the strange scene and the blood trick is in full swing, and the magic is also being pondered, and he just wants to find something new to do for himself.

"The open space in the floating field has been taken care of, just waiting for the new plants to go to the soil, and there is only one cloud lingzhi, which is a little unsightly."
