On the way from Chaling Province to Tonglin Province, Lu Ming walked very fast.

The customs along the way are slightly swept, but overall there is nothing worth repeating.

The biggest feeling is that it is chaotic......

Although these inland provinces do not have the worry of dragon energy, they are in the midst of a chaotic battle in the martial arts, and the "righteous path" strangles the "demon path", and therefore, there are many things to chase and kill team battles along the way.

Regarding this matter, Lu Ming maintained a normal heart.

If you can help, you can take action, but you also saved a few righteous disciples who went out to practice, but they didn't regard this matter as an important thing, and they didn't take the initiative to get involved in the game.

Just like this, ten days later, Lu Ming drove the carriage and finally returned to the boundary of Tonglin Province.

……

The separation of a world is like a world apart.

Lu Ming didn't know what the principle of this dragon qi decline was, but at the moment when he stepped into Tonglin Province from Plains Province, Lu Ming obviously felt something different.

The sky in Tonglin Province is darker and more depressing, as if you are on a plateau, making it difficult for people to breathe, and giving rise to a sense of frustration and uneasiness in people's hearts.

And the bigger difference is the evil environment.

The three-phase transformation magic skill operated spontaneously, and Lu Ming immediately noticed that the concentration of evil qi in Tonglin Province was outrageously high!

Even if it is in the border area, the evil environment here is slightly equivalent to the bloody camp of Daliang Mountain.

- It's a place where bandits are fighting......

And as Lu Ming went deeper and deeper into Tonglin Province, the concentration of evil qi continued to increase.

This made Lu Ming slowly purse his lips and sigh lightly.

"The people are not happy."

These four simple words, modern people actually have no concept, and Lu Ming doesn't understand them deeply.

But just think about it......

If the concentration of evil qi is higher, the evil qi can enter the brains of ordinary people.

For ordinary people and even low-grade martial artists, this is about the same as hitting ghosts.

Hit ghosts every day......

If it is serious, it will die and go crazy, and if it is light, it will be tyrannical and cruel, and the spirit will not be normal, even if the mind is firm and not affected by the evil qi, the impact of the evil qi on the body will not be small.

In this way, can there be good?

It had only been less than an hour before refugees staggered in.

The army escorted the refugees to stagger, whining thousands of people, and along the way the corpses paved the way, crows and jackals loomed.

People walked numbly, oblivious to the corpses on the side of the road.

The escorting sergeants looked tired. Even though the military strength of the soldiers can isolate the influence of evil spirits, first, this is a miracle that only a strong army has, and secondly, it is a continuous battle, or fighting with ghosts, no matter how strong the iron army is, it is inevitable that the mind is tired and the pressure is great.

From a distance, Lu Ming saw the armor style on the young general's body.

Tiger Wei Army, partial general.

One of the three strong armies of the Zhou State, the young general was only slightly older than Lu Ming, but at a cursory glance, he already had six grades of cultivation.

"Hey."

The little general suddenly spoke, and Lu Ming stopped his horse.

Looking at each other, the two of them arched their hands to each other, and the young general said loudly: "Tonglin Province is over, if there is nothing to do, don't enter, don't enter......"

Lu Ming smiled calmly: "Kill ghosts and protect the people, do your best, and be peaceful." ”

As the whining sounded in the distance, the frightened voices of the refugees came and went.

Looking into the distance, I saw a green-faced, fang-like ghost rushing towards him.

These things are brainless, and the ferocious killing intent dominates everything.

And the mass migration of refugees is a walking feast for these ghosts, and when they meet, there is no reason not to have a full meal.

The little general's eyebrows sank: "." ”

Just as he was about to make a move, he saw a figure floating up from the carriage not far away, like a green dragon in an instant.

If a person is a fairy in the world, a sword is like a river in the Styx.

The red sword light flashed, and the Styx celestial phenomenon was fleeting.

The zombie gave the head a stream of light into the sheath, and the little general opened his mouth and solemnly saluted the man not far away.

"Thank you Shaoxia for your help."

Lu Ming took a deep breath, but walked to the back of the queue with his sword raised.

The voice wafted far away.

"General, take the people away."

"There's a big cargo in the back."

The little general stared at him and said again.

"The seven cities of Tonglin Province are safe for the time being, all of them are guarded by strong armies, if the young man wants to rest and go to the seven cities, the rest of the places are not safe."

"Somebody knows."

The little general finally asked, "But I don't know the name of the young man?" ”

"Rebel Demon Sword, Lu Ming."

The heavens roared, and the ghosts roared.

The army and the people are going away, and the warriors punish the evil.

After a stick of incense, the group of refugees went away, and Lu Ming put away his sword and kicked the tiger head at his feet, and couldn't help but shake his head.

"Hell on Earth."

……

Lu Ming also didn't expect that after only one month of leaving, Tonglin Province would become like this.

But I thought of what Xiao Ago's said.

The impact of the decline of dragon qi is always weak first and then stronger, and it is getting more and more intense, so I also understand the logic here.

Back in the carriage, drive on.

Not long after, a town fell into Lu Ming's eyes.

It's Qifeng Town.

Lu Ming had been here before, because this place was the last stop to leave the province and the first stop to enter the province.

The carriage stopped in front of the town, and Lu Ming looked up.

There were no defenders at the head of the city, and the army had abandoned Qifeng Town.

No, it's not appropriate to say give up.

It's just that the military gave up the town to another group of people.

Imperial horse, enter the town.

At the empty city gate, Lu Ming saw a big list written in black and white.

There are eight big characters in the book.

[The great man of chivalry, for the country and the people]

The corners of Lu Ming's mouth curled up.

After thinking about it, he set up the carriage and walked into Qifeng Town.

……

There is a restaurant in Qifeng Town, which is called Jianghu Inn.

The former owner was a big family in this Qifeng Town.

However, in the context of the intensifying ghost disaster in Tonglin Province, the original owner decisively sold the property and moved to the mainland.

And now it is the Zhang family, one of the five great families of the Zhou Kingdom, who has taken over this Jianghu Inn.

Like the Wang family, the Zhang family does not have three products.

The wealth of the Zhang family is not as rich as the Wang family, let alone the Lin family, there is Lin Zhengguo Lin Tang, and it is not like the Dong family, there is an imperial concubine, and he gave birth to a second child to His Majesty.

What the Zhang family relied on was only loyalty to the Zhou family, which was also one of the five great families.

But that's enough.

Lu Ming's carriage stopped in front of the Jianghu Inn, and his own servant led the carriage for Lu Ming.

It is worth mentioning that this little guy has the strength of the Six Rank Realm.

Walking into the restaurant, Lu Ming took a look.

There are not many people, scattered more than ten numbers.

But compared to other places in Qifeng Town, the flow of people here is dense.

Just as a woman dressed as a heroine came to Lu Ming's table, she asked in a flat tone.

"What to eat?"

Lu Ming replied: "Wine, meat, what's on it." ”

Hurry up, Lu Ming hasn't eaten a good meal for two days.

The chivalrous woman let out an "oh" and turned around to leave, but Lu Ming stopped this person again.

"Look at the heroine's demeanor, isn't it the subordinate of this restaurant?"

The woman smiled lightly, full of heroism: "Under Zhang Haiqi, she is the daughter of the Zhang family." ”

Zhang Haiqi, six strengths.

Lu Ming estimated that the little guy who pulled the cart was also from the Zhang family, but he was not surnamed Zhang, and he was probably just a subordinate.

After thinking about it, Lu Ming said again: "Do we have a place to rest in this restaurant?" ”

Zhang Haiqi shook his head: "No, but if you want to find a place to rest, you can find the whole town casually, at present, this town has been empty, and there are empty houses." ”

In the same way as Tonglin Province, ordinary people do not have the ability to survive here.

The ordinary people who are still here either rely on the military strength to avoid trouble within the Seven Cities, or they are unable to leave their homeland and are willing to die with their families.

Lu Ming thought about it again, took out one or two pieces of silver from his pocket and put them on the table.

"A certain family has just arrived, and they are very curious about the current Tonglin Province and the current Qifeng Town, but they don't know if they can ...... from the girl's mouth."

Before Lu Ming finished speaking, Zhang Haiqi was already sitting next to Lu Ming.

She stretched out her hand, picked up the two pieces of silver and put them into Lu Ming's arms, and said with a smile.

"Intelligence, no money."

"We don't need money to eat and drink at this Jianghu Inn."

"If the young man wants to hear it, then I'll say it, just don't feel annoyed."

These words made Lu Ming happy.

"Is it okay if you don't want money?"

Zhang Haiqi's expression was straight.

"The great man of chivalry is for the country and the people."

"Since you dare to come to Tonglin Province at the risk of ghost disasters, no matter what your intentions are, you can always kill a few ghosts."

"If you kill a ghost, you don't know how many people you have saved...... And how can this human life be measured by money? ”

Zhang Haiqi's face was full of righteousness, and Lu Ming also restrained his smile.

He arched his hand to Zhang Haiqi, and then heard Zhang Haiqi's voice sound.

……

After about a stick of incense, Zhang Haiqi left the table and prepared a meal for Lu Ming.

Instead, Lu Ming sat at the table with his eyes full of thoughts.

At present, this Tonglin Province is completely dependent on the Seven Cities.

The army is stationed in the seven cities, and only when the army is strong can there be space and conditions for ordinary people to survive.

Outside the Seven Cities, they have almost become ghosts, and the villages and towns are not guaranteed, and no one knows how many living people are left, only the two places are still safe.

First, for Linjiang Town, the helmsman of the Dajiang Gang, Jiang Tie and Feng Feifei were stationed in it, and at the same time, relying on water conservancy, to deliver necessary materials to the Seven Cities, so as not to turn the Seven Cities into a lonely army.

Second, it is this Qifeng Town.

According to Zhang Haiqi, this Qifeng Town had already been abandoned, but the current head of the Zhang family, the fourth on the current list, Heng Tianzhang, Zhang Heng, brought Qi Feng Town over from the military.

Zhang Heng personally sat here and recruited Zhang Jiazi to be responsible for the simple operation of this place.

The purpose is the sentence posted at the gate of the city.

The great man of chivalry, for the country and the people!

The ghosts and disasters in Tonglin Province are monstrous, attracting many knights from the rivers and lakes.

Someone, for the West Factory bonus.

There are also people who are chivalrous in their hearts.

Or both.

But in any case, if a warrior wants to come to Tonglin Province, this Qifeng Town is the first stop.

The Zhang family provides food and drink here, which is a good deed.

After a while, the wine and food are served, which is not sumptuous but full of oil and water.

Lu Ming let out his mouth to eat and drink, but suddenly heard the sound of footsteps again.

But it was Zhang Haiqi who came to Lu Ming's table with a jar of wine.

She respectfully placed the wine on Lu Ming's table, and the look in her eyes was not as indifferent as just now, but full of surprise.

Lu Ming raised his eyebrows: "This is ......"

"Our head of the family said that it is a big deal for Lu Ming Shaoxia to come to our restaurant. If the head of the family is in a hurry and cannot come in person, he will serve a jar of wine to show his respect. ”

The sound fell, and the needles in the restaurant could be heard.

More than a dozen guests all looked at Lu Ming, with doubts in their eyes, but they were quickly replaced by surprises.

Lu Ming's name has long been resounding in this rivers and lakes.

Instead, Lu Ming got up and gave his hand.

"Thank you to the woman, and thank you to Senior Zhang, wine, but a certain family is disrespectful."
