Barren mountains and mountains, covered with black soil, no grass grows.

Li He and Ah Fu drove into Kuchaling in a carriage, full of devastation.

The convoy traveled for two days and nights, and the road was not very peaceful, and a third of the guards died. If Li He hadn't paid for a moment, there might have been another incident.

"Childe, this place is too desolate, there are not even birds and beasts." Ah Fu muttered as he drove, "But you don't have to worry too much, there will always be a solution." ”

"Half a year ago, there was a terrible disaster here, and bad omens were rampant, killing almost half of the living beings. The land is also contaminated and cannot be restored in the short term. ”

"If it weren't for the fact that there is still a bitter tea spiritual spring in the mountains, I'm afraid it would have been a dead place long ago!"

Li He's face was expressionless, he knew a lot about Kuchaling, after all, it was a fief to be mastered, and no matter how it was, he had to understand it first.

Kuchaling has become such a scene, but after all, there is a spiritual spring, which can nourish auspiciousness, and this is enough to bring the dead back to life, Li He only brings seven days of spiritual essence, and he also has the intention of relying on the spiritual spring.

However, the Li family who told him at that time seemed to be a little fragmented, and now that they see such a scene as Kuchaling, I am afraid that there are still some secrets that no one knows.

The carriage drove along the road into the bitter tea, the autumn wind was bleak, the trees were bare, and at the entrance of the village stood a half-cut stone monument with names scrawled on it.

Facing passers-by, bent over, yellow and thin, several village women gathered their children in fear, stared at strange outsiders, and muttered in private.

The whole village is very simple, with only one main road, which leads straight into the mountains. The houses on both sides are dilapidated, and the walls have collapsed, barely sheltering from the wind and rain.

With the gradual progress, the buildings of the street have changed somewhat, not to mention the extravagance of the courtyard of Li Town, at least it is clean and tidy.

Especially at the end, there is a large village built on the mountain, with people patrolling and chariots and horses, which is not so shabby.

"Who's coming? This is the Kuchaling Mansion, and idle people are not allowed to enter. The guards guarding the gate of the village raised their spears and looked at them coldly.

"My son-in-law is the new lord of Kuchaling, and Li Zhen is here!" Ah Fu proudly pulled out the token and shook it in front of their eyes.

Yawei was stunned, but his face did not question, presumably there must have been an announcement.

"Please wait, my lord, I'll go and report to the government."

With that, he turned and ran inward.

It didn't take long for a robed official to come out, stare at the token carefully, and then nodded.

"It's Li Zhen's order, I am the judge of Kuchaling Mansion, Zhong Min, and I welcome the lord of the mansion." Zhong Min bent down slightly to show respect.

Then Ah Fu was arranged to go to the residence of the government and tidy up first.

"I'll take the adults to get acquainted with the bitter tea village?"

"Then thank you for the verdict."

Li He followed him into the distance, and casually walked around the mansion, which was built on a mountain, surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the gate and wall were only blocked on one side, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack.

The building is quite rudimentary and bare, and it is certainly not comfortable to live in.

Occasionally, when the soldiers saw the two chiefs, they only raised their eyelids and nodded, without the slightest respect, but they didn't see Zhong Min have the slightest embarrassed expression, as if this was the case on weekdays.

The sun gradually went down, and when he reached an open place, Li He suddenly spoke.

"I see that there are few soldiers in the palace, could it be that it is like this on weekdays?"

Zhong Min frowned, he wanted to say but there was something unspeakable, and when he saw Li He's unhappy face, he sighed and explained.

"It was a strange incident near the bitter tea Lingquan, and the wing guard led the soldiers of the government to deal with it, almost emptying the defense force of the government office.

Since the bad omen hit, the people have struggled to make a living, and the land for growing bitter tea has been reduced by half, so they can only rely on the spiritual spring.

The bizarre nature of this calamity has sealed the spiritual spring for several miles, and the living beings are not allowed to get close, only those who hold auspicious rui or cultivators can approach.

Even the people of the mountains gathered and said that they had to solve this matter, isn't this nonsense, such a weird thing should be considered in the long run, what is the use of gathering a group of foolish people. ”

Zhong Min recounted quite angrily, as if he was dissatisfied with Yi Shou's behavior, he only dared to complain secretly, and his eyes still glanced at the new mansion lord from time to time, observing Li He's demeanor.

It's also difficult for him, the position of wing guard is equivalent to the head snake of the local tyrant landlord, except that the lord of the mansion is appointed by Li Zhen, he is the second master.

In the days when there was no lord of Kuchaling, Yishou was the uncrowned king, even if the government judged some local relations, it was obviously inferior.

Now that Li He has just arrived, the wing guard has transferred all the soldiers of the government, saying that he is dealing with the disaster, and he has also gathered the people of Ling, which is simply a naked oath of authority.

What's even more fatal is that there is a problem with the bitter tea Lingquan, he only carries seven days of food, if it is delayed for a few more days, the purple jade gourd will fall into silence, and if you want to recover at that time, it is not Lingquan who can do it.

Is it really such a coincidence? It's still premeditated. The ill-intentioned people in the Li family seemed to be a little unbearable.

Does it have anything to do with paper figures? Probably not, he left Li Zhen after he made his move, the other party was too late, not to mention that he was really targeted by a bad omen, and he would not use such a means to directly attack and kill them more in line with their style.

Such an arrangement should have been made for a long time, even if he brought more gourd seeds, if the spiritual spring was polluted, he would naturally return in disgrace after a month.

But what can it be, after all, it is strength that speaks, taking advantage of illness to kill, and there is no mercy in the land of calamity.

Li He said to the government judge and Yan Yuese.

"Lingquan is a very important matter, and it really needs to be dealt with first.

Since the people of Lingmin are so concerned, as the new lord of the mansion, I should also solve problems for everyone.

After a while, I picked up some items and headed to Lingquan together. ”

With that, he turned and left.

"Adults don't have to be like this, the wind and dust are served, rest for a day first, the spiritual spring is weird and pervasive for many days, and I don't care about this moment."

Zhong Min persuaded him, but he didn't stop Li He's steps.

Seeing that his figure was gradually blurred, the respect on his face slowly faded, revealing a little contempt, and finally turned into bitterness.

"It's another son-in-law who doesn't dare to speak, Jiupin Xiangrui has no cultivation in his body, how can he win? I'd better pretend to be deaf and dumb as usual. ”

……

Li He returned to the palace and sent Ah Fu out to run errands, and carefully investigated before opening half of the Taoist book.

[Mission: Find out that Li Zhen is weird, go to the fiefdom as soon as possible, and fuse the Bad Omen Chaos Paper Man]

【Reward: Breathing Method (Human Level)】

The word of fog and ink is twisted and frenzied, and it is still this message.

The fiefdom of Kuchaling has arrived, but the reward has not been given by the pages as before, for the simple reason that it has not been fused with the Troubled Paper Man.

Li He's eyes were fixed on the pages, his palms were bruised, and his fingers were buckled with sawdust on the table.

[Troubled Paper Man: Nine bad omens, you can fabricate a stand-in paper figure according to your own body, bringing disaster and bad luck.

40% fit with Jiupin Xiangrui, 30% fit with purple jade gourd neutralizing curse + fit, -10% fit with dreams, -100% with calamity]

If it weren't for the dream instead of the disaster, he would have thought that the Taoist book was stuck with a bug.

"Why? Why? ”

Even though Li He had countless questions in his heart, no one seemed to be able to answer them.

In fact, this is not the first time he has flipped through it, he secretly checked it when he was in the convoy, and at that time he only thought that he had not yet reached Kuchaling.

Now that he is in the Ya Mansion, he is very far away from Li Town, and it can even be clearly said that there is no powerful Dao Death here, otherwise how can ordinary guards live.

So why is it still a disaster land - 100%, could it be that the whole land is a disaster land? If this were the case everywhere, it would be an impossible task to merge the Chaos Paper Figures.

He gently lifted the gourd, took out the slightly wrinkled paper maid, and his breathing became heavy.

I wanted to fight for a forcible fusion, but he didn't really grasp Xiangrui, in case the paper figure was variable, it would be difficult to end it at that time.

Now the wings are pressing, the spiritual spring is polluted, the bad omen of Li Zhen is eroding, and one disaster after another hangs over the head, and the cultivators are powerless to solve it.

"Boom!"

After slamming the wooden table, Li He stood up and walked out.

Go to explore the reality of Lingquan first, and go today, and you can take advantage of the other party's incomplete preparation and be caught off guard. If it can be solved smoothly, there will be a spiritual spring to nourish the purple jade gourd, and there will be a glimmer of life.
