Huang Mei has just passed.

It was supposed to be the crisp autumn season, but this year it was exceptionally hot.

A few days ago, there was night rain in Japan.

However, for some reason, the crops in the fields were extremely intolerant to drought, and after only a few days' work, they had already wilted a little.

"Miss, it's dry outside, let's go back."

The old servant held a paper umbrella, walked to Yun Niang's side, and persuaded gently.

The master of the He family, who was also a literary star who was a high school student.

It's a pity that he was born frail, and he was already sick in bed a few years ago and couldn't be a director.

Fortunately, Miss was born smart, although she was only at the age of Lu, she was already able to arrange the big and small things in the family in an orderly manner.

Now the crops in the field are in abnormal condition.

When the young lady heard about it, she was very worried and came to check it out in person.

"Fauber, it rained a few days ago, why did the crops in the fields dry like this in just a few days? Are you an old man in your family, have you ever seen such a scene in previous years? ”

He Yunniang has a small face with melon seeds, full of sadness.

In fact, with the He family's financial resources, even if the harvest is low this year, she will not be hungry.

It's just that the peasants in the village who rent He's land can't stand such a blow.

Seeing that the autumn harvest season is about to begin, it is the time for the seedlings to head and fill the grain.

Suddenly this kind of thing happened, not only was most of the year's hard work in vain.

Even if the He family is rent-free, these people will have no place to chew, and in winter, it is inevitable that there will be a tragedy of starvation.

"Miss, don't worry, we have already sent someone to send a letter into the city yesterday, presumably with the friendship between the master and Zhao Xianling.

"Master Zhao should be able to help find a way, and I heard that not only our Hejia Village, but also several nearby villages have also seen such a situation in the past few days......

The old servant Fu Bo comforted Yun Niang, but his face was not easy at all.

There are no insects and no plagues, it only rained a few days ago, but there is such a strange phenomenon in the ground.

It was the first time I had met an old man who had lived to be in his fifties.

I heard that the Yuchun Tower in the city was haunted a while ago.

There was such a strange thing outside the city, and I don't know if it was a bad omen.

Standing at the head of the field for a long time, facing the seedlings that seemed to have dried up for dozens of days, I was at a loss.

When it was getting late, a master and a servant could only helplessly go back.

On the way, I met some tenants.

He was irrigating the fields with wooden barrels carrying water from the river in the distance.

"Well, it's only been a few days? The clear stream, which was full of river water before, has bottomed out before I see it......"

"Yes, I've lived most of my life, and I've never seen anything like this.

"The pond at the entrance of the village is like the bottom has been stabbed, and I am watching the water level drop day by day, and today I have seen the bottom of the silt."

"If it goes on like this, it won't take two days, but I'm afraid that the Qingxi River will run out of water......"

The conversation between the tenants made the gloomy clouds even more bleak.

The two walked slowly into the village.

I just arrived outside the gate of the He family's compound.

A long-term worker came out and said hurriedly: "Miss, Fu Bo, there is a Taoist master in the county, saying that Master Zhao specially invited him to help......

Miss Ho was in good spirits.

Hurriedly asked, "Where is the person, take me to see ......"

The He family is a family of lifters.

The courtyard is a little elegant, with three green tile houses in front and back, and several rows of low houses on both sides.

Above the main hall, there is a half-human-high plum vase on the east side, and a large bronze mirror of equal height on the west side.

The weather was dry, and Yun Niang was wearing a gauze dress.

Just after a spin outside, my back was soaked with sweat.

I didn't care about going back to the house to change my clothes, so I came to the court.

When I looked up, I saw a young Taoist priest wearing a loose Taoist robe, sitting upright in the hall.

He was squinting at himself.

For no reason, his complexion flushed ruddy.

But he was a little lost in his heart, Luo Hengsheng's face was already tender, and he didn't look much older than Yun Niang.

What can such a young Taoist priest do?

Slow down and step forward, a slight salute.

"Dare to ask Dao Chief, but he is a master invited by Lord Zhao?"

Luo Heng chuckled and nodded: "If the Lord Zhao you are talking about is the county order of Sangli County, then it is me." ”

Yun Niang pursed her lips, and she didn't know why.

Although this Taoist chief smiled before speaking, and the person was not vicious, but when it was positive.

She always felt a little timid, but she felt that the other party seemed to have an inexplicable coercion coming to her face.

Fu Bo, the housekeeper on the side, noticed the strangeness of his young lady.

stepped forward and bowed and said, "Dare to ask what to call the chief?" This is my Miss He's family, because the old man has been seriously ill for many years, he is not good at walking, and the big and small affairs of the family are taken care of by the young lady. ”

"My surname is Luo, just call me Luo Daoren."

Luo Heng nodded, this situation, Zhao County Ling and Song Dianshi have already made it clear.

This trip to Hejia Village.

It was because Zhao Xianling received a letter from Miss He.

Referring to the strange thing that in just a few days, the grain seedlings in this field outside the city dried up and died.

This kind of thing, if it were in the past.

Zhao County's order must have sent messengers to check first.

I just thought of the incident of Yuchun Tower a while ago, plus the news brought back by the people from the Heavenly Supervision Division.

Outside the city, a large number of demons were found in the barren Mao Mountain.

It made him have to think in the direction of the monster.

In desperation, he had to invite Luo Heng to come forward.

Before Luo Heng entered the village, he had also seen the situation in the fields.

Let Luo Daoye kill demons, there is nothing to say, but ask him to find out what demons are doing and how to solve them.

What experience does Luo Heng have?

However, in just a few days, this kind of seedling seems to have suffered from dozens of days of drought and quickly dried up.

It reminded Luo Heng of the legend about the drought.

How could it be so coincidental?

Just now I found a female squid in Huangmao Mountain, and there was a strange drought here?

said that the two had nothing to do with each other, but Luo Heng didn't quite believe it.

At this point, Luo Heng already felt that his previous feeling in Huangmao Mountain was not wrong.

The female underground, I'm afraid that she has already used some way to get out of trouble.

However, there is another thing in this, Luo Heng can't figure it out.

According to myths and legends, there must be drought in areas infested with droughts.

However, around this Hejia Village.

But only the seedlings in the fields dried up, and the trees around the village, but there were no visions?

Could it be that the drought brought by the drought will only affect the crops?

This obviously doesn't make sense!

"In your letter, what you said is limited, can you tell me more about what are the strange phenomena at present?

"And around the village, what other strange things have happened in the last few days?"

Luo Heng asked with a smile.

He Yunniang frowned and thought about it, shook her head and said, "Except for the inexplicable withering of the seedlings, I really haven't found anything else......"

She seemed to think of something.

He shook his head again and said: "No, on the way back just now, I listened to the conversation of the villagers, and the pond at the entrance of the village suddenly dropped in the past two days, and in just a few days, I have seen the bottom of the mud."

"And the same is true of the Qingxi River outside the village, I heard that it is about to dry up."

Luo Heng's eyes condensed slightly.

frowned and said, "Take me to see it." ”

Fu Bo hurriedly stepped forward: "The old man will take Luo Daochang to see." ”

Now, Fauber is going to lead the way.

He Yunniang did not go back to the room to change clothes, but followed to the side and went together.

Out of the He family's compound.

However, less than 100 meters away, we arrived at the entrance of the village.

A pond is about two acres in size.

At this time, the bottom of the mud was indeed visible, and the surrounding silt surface was covered with dense cracks.

Only in the middle of the bottom of the pond, there is a small pool of shallow water.

At this time, a few swimming fish were swimming weakly in the shallow turbid water.

Appears restless.

Luo Heng descended into the pond, the soles of his feet stomping on the dirt floor.

The brow furrowed even tighter.

The mud was hard, like it had been dry for days.

Luo Heng walked to the shore of the pond again, under a few big trees.

I looked at it carefully for a moment.

I finally found a clue.

On the surface, the trees do not appear to have been affected by the drought.

However, the location of the roots under the tree is also abnormally dry.

Obviously, it is not that the big tree has no influence, but that the vitality of the tree is stronger than the seedling.

It's still a short time, and it hasn't been shown for the time being.

Luo Heng flipped his wrist and took out the Qing Ying Sword.

A sword plunged into the ground under the tree, and with a skillful force, he turned up the dirt, crouched down, and picked up the clods.

With a slight force on his fingers, he crushed the clod of soil and looked at it carefully for a moment.

Sure enough, the clods were dry and hard.

Moisture is barely perceptible.

"Luo Daochang, what have you discovered?"

Fauber stepped forward and asked with concern.

Luo Heng nodded and pondered: "I already have eyebrows, but there are some things that I have to look at more carefully."

"You guys go back first, and I'll look elsewhere later......"

said, without waiting for the other party's reaction.

Luo Hengyun got up, jumped on the canopy, and slightly distinguished the direction.

The light work unfolded, and it just drifted away.

A moment later.

Luo Heng's figure appeared in Huangmao Mountain.

"I thought you were going to have a night banquet with the county official, and you won't come again tonight."

Zhiqiu was already with the help of several Celestial Commanders at this time.

An altar was arranged near the cave.

I don't know where these guys got the loess, but it was piled up more than three feet high, and it was more than a square circle.

On the loess platform, colorful flags are planted on all sides.

Although it is just paper paste, it is also a bit magnificent.

It should be that the altar has not been completely completed, and when Zhiqiu spoke, he was still circling around the loess platform.

Luo Heng stepped forward and frowned: "Don't do this, it is estimated that there is a chance that you will not need it." ”

Zhiqiu looked up in surprise: "What do you say?" Did something happen again? ”

"That Zhao County Commander invited me over and asked me for one thing......"

Luo Heng explained the rapid withering of seedlings in several nearby villages.

He also expressed his guess: "I suspect that the female squire has already been out of trouble......"

Zhiqiu's expression was solemn, and he didn't care about continuing to arrange the altar.

got up and walked to Luo Heng's side, and asked solemnly: "According to what you said, this rapidly deteriorating drought state is really not similar to the legendary drought.

"But, we've always been here, when did the female squire escape?"

Luo Heng frowned and said, "Perhaps, it's not the one who escaped now." ”

Zhiqiu was puzzled and asked, "What do you mean by this?" ”

Luo Heng gritted his teeth and shook his head: "There are some things that I haven't been able to understand before.

"It stands to reason that the female demon is a great demon that has existed since ancient times, and her strength is even stronger than that of those true immortals.

"Even if it's really banned, is it only the strength of those corpse soldiers who are not human and ghosts to deal with us?"

Luo Heng said as he walked to the edge of the cave.

Leaned over and looked at the bottom of the cave.

continued: "When I went down before, I had a close encounter with the female squire.

"It's not that I don't have confidence in my own strength, but the majesty exuded by the female slug really has a sense of oppression that destroys the world.

However, the power of her shot was far less powerful than the pressure brought to me by that momentum.

"What does it feel like? It's like a giant who hits down with a fist, and it should have been a mountain pressed to the top of his head.

"There's absolutely no way you can resist, but when your fist hits you, it's like a piece of foam and smashes down, although it's still hard to fight because of its sheer size.

"But it's completely different from the expected devastation and no chance......

Zhiqiu was stunned.

Some are suspicious: "Bubbles? ”

"Well, anyway, it's the actual power of the shot, and it doesn't match the pressure on me from the female itself.

"At first, I thought it was because of the seal, which weakened the strength of the female slu.

"However, now that I think about it, it is probably my preconceived delusion.

"The power of the female attack is not strong, it is likely that she has already divided her strength in advance. Her body, the mana left behind is not enough......"

Zhiqiu was a little confused.

Several of the people who oversaw the Heavenly Division were even more confused.

Luo Heng continued to explain: "We found the corpse soldier of the female lu, and we took it for granted that she was still in the underground seal.

"I didn't think of a possibility, a big demon like her.

"I've been trapped underground for so many years, since I have the means of doppelganger.

"There is still a way, to decompose the primordial spirit and send it out of the seal, how can this be the first time?"

Zhiqiu suddenly realized.

However, it was even more surprising.

"You...... Are you saying that after so many years, the female squire has been trying to find a way to send out a clone? ”

Luo Heng nodded.

Only this explains!

For countless years, he has been separating the Yuan Shen outwards and selecting the right people to refine his body.

"So, now outside, there are actually countless female doppelgangers, but she hides herself, and we can't find it?"

Luo Heng shook his head: "It's not that we can't find it, but no one has found it all along."

"It's just that this time, it's not far from her body really getting out of trouble, or rather, she thinks she can get out of trouble, but she was bumped into by us."

Zhiqiu rubbed his eyes with some distress.

The spirit bell was broken, which made his eyes always itch, and he had not recovered for the time being.

He said in a heavy tone: "So, do you think that the body of the female lu has escaped, and the seal of the Chishui Essence below is already empty?" ”

Luo Heng nodded: "This is just my guess, but I think it should be correct." ”

Look at the deep cave.

Luo Heng suddenly stepped out without warning.

"I'll go down and see!"

Zhiqiu subconsciously raised his hand, wanting to stop it.

However, Luo Heng's figure had disappeared into the cave.

It was also full of corpse soldiers climbing upwards.

At this point, there was no trace of it.

Without the interference of the corpse soldiers, the speed of falling is getting faster and faster at a distance of hundreds of meters.

Luo Hengdong kicked on the cave wall.

The figure slammed diagonally into the opposite cave wall, emitting a dull echo.

The speed of the fall is reduced.

And then he went back and forth......

Several times in a row, it landed steadily.

When his feet touched the ground, Luo Heng noticed that something was wrong.

The cave at the bottom was dozens of meters higher than when he had entered before.

The walls of the cave on all sides have also expanded several times.

Moreover, the walls of the surrounding caves are still sliding downward at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The temperature around it was hot and dry, like in a giant oven.

The walls of the cave collapsed silently like roasted cream.

The speed may not seem fast, but the cave itself is large enough.

There are more than a dozen football occasions and the size of one place.

Collapsing in all directions at the same time, in fact, the real speed is extremely fast.

Every second, the cavern expands outward as the walls of the cave collapse.

Luo couldn't care so much.

Gaze falls into the depths of the cavern.

There, it was supposed to be where the shady ban would have been.

A three-foot-tall female statue with red hair and a green flame body stood quietly.

Luo Heng's heart tightened.

Then he breathed a sigh of relief.

I was nervous because I saw the female again.

But the relief is because his guess is wrong.

The creature didn't escape, and remained in the underground cavern.

However, the next moment, Luo Heng's brows furrowed again.

No......

Absolutely not!

The female is angry at the face of herself several times.

Seeing herself re-enter the seal, how could she still be so calm?

Luo Heng stood in place and thought for a moment.

Suddenly, he turned his hand and took out a pistol from the backpack space.

Bang Bang Bang ......

Rushing towards the interior of the cave, a magazine was emptied in an instant.

When the bullet is not in the darkness, it is like a mud cow into the sea.

There is not the slightest echo......

Luo Heng didn't stop, raised his hand and threw the empty pistol directly.

This time.

With almost all his strength, the pistol pierced the air.

Let out a whining low.

Boom!

It's as if a mirror has been broken.

It was like a static picture, which was thrown by Luo Heng and shattered.

The scene inside the cave has changed.

It was obviously empty, and in the huge hollow, there was a sound of the water being stirred.

Forthwith.

The cavern, which was still airy just now, was suddenly filled with icy water vapor.

Don't wait for Luo Heng to figure out what is going on.

The water vapor stirred with the pistol that Luo Heng threw out, quickly condensed, and turned into water droplets.

Whoa, whoa, whoa...... Fall to the ground.

The speed visible to the naked eye accumulates into puddles, which are connected together and become pools.

Blink of an eye.

The entire cave has been flooded.

Even where Luo Heng was standing, the water level rose in an instant.

Soon Luo Heng was drowned in it......

With Luo Heng's current strength, there is no problem in staying underwater for a while.

But in this kind of hundreds of meters deep underground.

It's still the place where the female is sealed.

Luo Heng didn't dare to be careless.

Quickly follow the memory and rush upward.

It wasn't until he swam dozens of meters that Luo Heng broke out of the water.

Continue to jump more than ten meters, press one hand on the cave wall, and fix the figure.

Luo Heng turned around and looked down.

I saw that the water surface had reached the soles of my feet less than a meter.

Just as he bowed his head, it was already submerged to the surface of his feet.

Luo Heng frowned, but he didn't stay any longer.

Keep jumping upwards.

Soon he jumped out of the cave and landed on his feet.

Zhiqiu immediately asked, "What's the matter?" What sounds underneath? Is the female still there? ”

Luo Heng landed on both feet.

The muscles on his body trembled, and the wet water on his clothes was shaken apart.

Instantly restores dryness.

frowned and replied: "I don't know, it's already full of water underneath." ”

"Water?" Zhiqiu is inexplicable.

However, there is no need for Luo Heng to continue to explain.

The exit of the cave is more than a few feet wide.

The water has overflowed.

Boom la la la......

It was like a high-pressure water pump suddenly activated, and a huge stream of water spurted out.

After reaching a height of tens of meters, it scattered into a splash and fell.

Luo Heng grabbed Zhiqiu with one hand and quickly retreated.

It was not until it exited a few hundred meters that it was out of the range of the falling water.

The column of water that rose into the sky lasted only a few seconds before falling back again.

Soon, a stream of water formed on the ground.

Follow the rugged terrain of the barren grass mountain, all the way downstream.

Many strange rocks on the mountain of the impact rolled down all the way, making a huge rumbling sound.

The exit of the cave was rapidly expanding under the wash of the water.

Soon, the mud near the cave was washed away.

Only huge stones remained on both sides.

Several soaking wet, embarrassed and retreating to Luo Heng's side, the captain of the Heavenly Division.

They were all dumbfounded.

It was still a rocky and barren mountain where no trees had grown.

Just in front of me, a river suddenly appeared.

The river flowed down the mountain, and it had reached the side of the official road at the bottom of the mountain, and then continued down the side of the official road...... (End of chapter)
