Liang Xingyang really saw what it means to be "thousands of miles of red land".

From Tianshui to the west, all the way to the foot of the Heavenly Demon Mountain, a total of more than 13,000 miles of land, all the animals have been eaten, all the flowers and plants have been eaten, only the trees are left, and the leaves, bark, and twigs of the trees have also been eaten up, leaving only bare branches.

The land is dry, dig down the zhangxu, there is no moisture, dig down thirty zhang, you can't see the groundwater!

The people in the Qianzhou area, who can run, have run away, and those who can't run away are suffering here.

The only place where there is water is the Tianshui River, but there is not much water in the river, the original turbulent river water, has become a trickle, and the bed is exposed, dried, and the fish, turtles, shrimps and crabs in it have long been eaten. ap.

Yan Wudan summoned capable people, used the induction of the white bone gods and demons, calculated the location, and drilled five deep wells, and in the entire Qianyuan area, only these places still had people to live.

The government officials and the gentry landlords either ran away and were going to be eaten......

Yan Wudan took Liang Xingyang to stand on the high ridge, pointing to the people who were queuing up to carry them below, like ants: "I divided the victims into two parts, one part led the old and weak, went south, and entered the yuan exchange land to get food. The officials there didn't let us go, and sent heavy troops to block the Yin and Yang Pass, so I sent people to take the meridian road again.

Back then, my father was caught by Yue Longpan in the Meridian Road, and they never imagined that I would dare to let people go there, copy the back road of the government, and directly kill them to grab food. Although the harvest has also been poor in recent years, there are still trees and grass on the mountain, and there is still some way to survive after the past. I will lead these strong elites out of the children's pass in the east, and go to the hinterland of the Central Plains to find food in the world of flowers!"

Liang Xingyang looked at the "strong elites" below, nine out of ten were skinny, with deep eye sockets, high cheekbones, sunken cheeks, and black skin like iron sheets, black and tough, like a walking skeleton, but his mental state was very good, and his eyes seemed to be burning with flames.

Liang Xingyang said, "Is it possible to bring grain or water from other places?"

Yan Wudan looked at him and smiled, "Where is the food? Is there any food in the imperial court? In the past few years, not a single grain of grain has been transported to the child! As for the water? There are no suitable rivers and no adequate sources of water to draw from. It is necessary to have a thorough rain under the entire Qianyuan and be able to drain a lake, at least a dozen in a row, before crops can grow again. But we don't have any seeds, and all plant seeds, animal cubs, can't grow up and be eaten. If we want to live, we can only kill them and snatch them out of the big families with grain cellars and grain hoards!"

"Actually, the emperor allocated a lot of money, and some grain was transported over, but something went wrong on the way." Liang Xingyang can be sure of this, because he gave the emperor a car of silver.

Yan Wudan nodded: "Well, I believe it."

Liang Xingyang felt a deep sense of powerlessness, he sighed, and said to Yan Wudan: "I'll go back to the emperor and ask him to transfer another batch of grain to you. It is better not to fight this battle or not to fight, once the battle starts, you will have to live in misery, you are trying to live, but it will cause more deaths, if you don't have to fight, you can live, wouldn't it be good?"

"Of course that's good." Yan Wudan looked at him, "However, can you really get food from the Emperor for us?"

"Really." Liang Xingyang pondered, he got twenty or thirty carts of gold bars and silver bricks for the emperor, and it should not be a problem to ask for hundreds of carts of grain, first alleviate the famine here, and then find a way to let the troops strike twice, end peacefully, and don't fight if they can negotiate a solution.

"I'll go to the emperor, don't send troops to beat the children first, wait for me to bring food back."

Yan Wudan said: "It's okay if I don't beat the children, but the officers and soldiers may not only guard the checkpoints, but may come out to the west to beat us."

"My sword speed is okay, I can return from here to the capital tomorrow at the latest, and I will persuade the emperor to let you two sides make peace." But the premise is that you really just want to live because you can't live, and you really just want to eat and live in peace...... You know what I'm talking about."

Yan Wudan smiled deliciously: "I know, I know, if the emperor really gives money and food as you said, so that people can live, which one will rebel? You also bring a message to the emperor, just say, our White Bone Sect specializes in cultivating backbone, and we are born with fat

Flesh repels us, and when people are fat, they will not believe in us, but only when they are skinny and skinny, will they believe in me."

"Okay, I'll tell the emperor."

"Then I wish you what you want." Yan Wudan spoke very easily and happily, with a smile on his face all the time.

Liang Xingyang was unwilling to delay, so he directly took the sword into the air and rushed to the capital.

When he arrived in the capital, he handed a sign to the emperor again, and this time the emperor quickly asked the eunuch to come out and take him in.

After a long time, the emperor was even thinner than at the beginning, and the man in his thirties looked a little old.

"You went to the northwest and saw the Bone Demon Lord's father and daughter?"

"I only saw Yan Wudan, not his father." Liang Xingyang recounted in detail what he had seen and heard.

The emperor held the teacup, whether to drink it or not, and listened quietly, never saying a word, and without any expression on his face.

Until Liang Xingyang finished speaking, the emperor's words were a little heavy: "You already have an old relationship with that white-bone evil queen?"

Liang Xingyang was stunned: "It was when I was entrusted by Bai Langqi, the governor of Kunyuan, to participate in the escort, on the way, Mingzhou suffered from floods and plagues, and the victims were everywhere ......" He also told the interaction between the two when he was on the road, how he learned *** exercises with Yan Wudan, how to collect the corpses of the victims, and told the interaction between the two.

The Emperor kept looking at him, his gaze getting colder and colder: "Just like that?"

"So what?" Liang Xingyang was very upset by his attitude, and asked directly, "If she is really a cult leader who does all kinds of evil, like the Golden Lantern Sect Master, I can kill her and never die!" But she's clearly not!"

The emperor snorted coldly and put the teacup on the table: "So you will be her envoy and come back to negotiate with the imperial court?"

"Can't you?" Liang Xingyang said, "The world is chaotic enough! Enough people have died! It's better to talk than to fight."

The emperor seemed to listen, but he didn't seem to hear it at all, he was silent for a while, and suddenly raised his head and asked Liang Xingyang: "Do you know that the white bone thief killed Yue Longpan, entered the hinterland of the Central Plains, and dug the tomb of Taizu in Huangzhou?"

"What?!" This time it was Liang Xingyang's turn to be stunned and stunned, if it was something else, Liang Xingyang felt that there was still some hope that he could be reconciled from it, but the White Bone Army had dug up the ancestral graves of the royal family! That's not going to die at all, even if the emperor wants to negotiate peace, because he will be laughed at and despised by the world.

The emperor looked at him: "I just think that you really don't know, and the matter of peace talks, never mention it again!" The white bone thieves dug up the mausoleum of Taizu and slaughtered the Xia clan, and the eight vassal kings were wiped out by them, and the king of Tianshui was still cooked and eaten raw by them! How can such thieves make peace with them? If anyone dares to say half a word, I will destroy him, and I will not make an example!"

Liang Xingyang prepared a stomach of words, swallowed them all, he couldn't say, he couldn't persuade the emperor, your ancestral grave was dug up, and it was a small matter for your clan to be killed and eaten, and it was still important to focus on national affairs - he couldn't say this kind of thing.

Coming out of the palace, Liang Xingyang breathed in the night air, looked up at the starry sky, and his body was filled with a deep sense of powerlessness.

He didn't know what he had to do to save this world, to save the people of this world.

He sat on the steps in front of the palace, quietly thinking about all the ways he could do, such as he stayed at the children's pass, and the two sides were not allowed to fight, and who would do it himself to help the other side? Not to mention that he doesn't have such a tall strength and can't withstand the beating of the masters on both sides, even if he really has that strength, this will not solve the fundamental problem.

There is a shortage of water in the northwest, if you rely on the Mercury Divine Bead to get some water to solve the drought in the northwest? Just like Yan Wudan said, if the people in the northwest can eat well, they will not rebel, but the northwest needs too much water, and within the reach of his own mana, even a thousand miles of radius may not be able to cover it, and the water source is not easy to find, and the lakes and rivers in other places are drained by him, who can allow it?

As for going to the sea to get it, the sea is saltwater...... If Liang Xingyang is now an earth immortal, and the nine stars above the Nine Heavens Divine Ember are in place, there may be a way to directly extract water vapor from the sea to condense pure water, but not now.

The key is that the royal family is white

The Bone Sect is already a never-ending situation, and there is no room for relaxation, they still have to fight, they must fight to the death, and one side will destroy the other.

"Forget it! If you want to fight, you can fight, I can't control it, I can't pull a small horse-drawn cart, and in the end, the horse will die and the cart will overturn! I don't have the ability to save the world in the first place, and I should be self-aware. Perhaps, this is the legendary 'general trend of the world, and practitioners cannot go against the sky......

Disheartened, he walked down the street alone.

Due to the curfew imposed in the capital at night, the airspace is also banned, and anyone who dares to fly in and out will be smashed to death by the city god with a copper hammer.

So he decided to go back to his house first, and wait until tomorrow morning before going out of the city.

"Feng Xi Feng Xi, what is the decline of virtue? The past cannot be admonished, but the coming can still be chased. That's it! That's it! Today's politicians are gone!"

He suddenly remembered these words in his mind, and secretly sighed, and thought: "The beast does not choose a sound when it dies, and its breath is vigorous. If the core is so big, there will be a bad heart to respond to it, and I don't know what it is. I don't know what it is, but I don't know what it will do!"

muttered a few words, and was about to speed up his pace to go home, when he suddenly saw an inn on the side of the road, hanging with pink lanterns, with beautiful colors, the door panel was already halfway up, and half open, and a woman dressed very brightly beckoned to him: "Childe, come in and sit?"

Liang Xingyang thought that he had met a special practitioner, shook his head slightly, said that he was not interested, and continued to move forward.

The woman suddenly said again, "Aunt Qing asked me to come to you."

Who is Aunt Qing? Liang Xingyang was stunned, and soon remembered that he came alone: "Is it Qing Liuniang?"

The woman nodded slightly, and said with a smile, "I haven't seen Gongzi come to the door for a long time, it's weird, please move and come in for a cup of tea."

Liang Xingyang hesitated, but turned around and walked into the inn, the woman took him to turn left and right, kept going down the stairs, and walked for a long time.

In the end, Liang Xingyang saw Qing Liuniang, in addition to him, there was a white-haired young man, an old man in black, a total of three people, seeing him come in, Qing Liuniang greeted with a smile, and sent the girl who led the way out.

"How did Aunt Qing know that I was in the capital?"

Qing Liuniang pointed at the white-haired young man: "This is the Xue Xia Sect Master of the Blood Word Gate, he saw you."

Liang Xingyang's heart sank, and he glanced at the young man, who looked at him, his eyes were like two steel cones, piercing people's hearts.

This guy has never seen it himself, but he can recognize himself and recognize his flying sword, on the one hand, his mana and eyesight are high enough, and on the other hand, the information they have in the Starfall Sect is powerful enough.

"What did Aunt Qing come to me for?" Liang Xingyang didn't plan to talk nonsense, and went straight to the point.

Qing Liuniang smiled and poured him a cup of tea: "Aunt Qing wants to recruit you to join our Starfall Sect."

Liang Xingyang shook his head, "I'm ready to go back to the mountain to retreat and cultivate."

"Is it a setback here at the Imperial Court?"

Liang Xingyang frowned: "How do you know?"

Qing Liuniang smiled and said, "When you participated in escorting the White Bone Evil Queen Yan Wudan into Beijing, you had a very abnormal relationship with her on the way, and you also learned the White Bone Sect's Ten Thousand Bones Returning to the Heart Dafa with her. Two days ago, you went to Beijing to see the crown prince, and then you went to the northwest, and met the white bone evil queen in Yangcheng, and today you hurried back to see the emperor, quite a mediator and match, yes or no?"

Liang Xingyang nodded slightly.

Qing Liuniang let out a series of unbridled laughter like silver bells, as if she had seen the biggest joke in the world: "The White Bone Army dug up the tomb of Taizu and dug up the ancestral grave of the Xia family, and you still want to mediate them......" Seeing that Liang Xingyang's face was very unsightly, he suppressed his laughter and changed his words, "But your pure heart of worrying about the country and the people is really rare."

"No matter what my heart is, I won't join the Starfall Sect." Liang Xingyang stood up and walked out.

Qing Liuniang stood up: "Don't you want to avenge your father? The revenge of killing my father, but I don't share it!"

Liang Xingyang suddenly turned around: "Gao Wentao told me that it was Zhao Zhixiang, the whipping corpse Taibao, who killed my father, and when the new emperor ascended the throne, Zhang Tianxi and him

The sons who are still alive have been sent to the first emperor for burial."

"But Zhao Yixiang saw the opportunity early and ran away in advance." Qing Liuniang stretched out her hand and motioned for him to sit down again, to talk again.

Liang Xingyang turned back and sat down: "I know you have a place to use me, we don't have to beat around the bush, just say it directly, what do you want to use me for?" Can you tell me where Zhao Yixiang is now, or give him to me?"

Qing Liuniang smiled and asked, "You should know, I told you at the beginning, what does our Starfall Sect do?"
