"Do you know about the drought in Qingzhou in the past few years, for several years there has been no rain, the rivers have been cut off, the trees have died, and now there is not even a living person in the whole Qingzhou."

Zhou Dong did not immediately answer Chen Mo's question, but asked rhetorically.

"Clear." Chen Mo nodded and then added, "It's very clear. ”

He fled all the way from Qingzhou to survive, how could he not know these things.

"Then you just found that the drought in Qingzhou is a little strange, why is it only in Qingzhou.

The adjacent Xingyuan Anyang Erfu, even if it is only a few miles apart, is still full of rain, the seedlings are vigorous, there is no sign of half of the disaster, and even these two years are still good years. ”

Zhou Dong's tone was profound, and he asked one after another.

Extreme droughts that last for several years are rare, but they are not impossible.

However, the drought in Qingzhou, which affected the area very clearly, is a little too weird.

"This, the little nephew really doesn't know." Chen Mo frowned slightly and shook his head slightly.

When he fled all the way, he didn't have the heart to pay attention to these things, but later he went to Qingzhou and found out that this was abnormal.

It's just that the specific reason is not for him to know.

But now when I hear Uncle Zhou say this, there must be something hidden in it.

The drought in Qingzhou is by no means a simple natural disaster.

"You already know about the ruins and the mirage, so there's no need to hide these things.

There is a drought fish in Qingzhou, and as soon as the drought fish comes out, the red land is 3,000 miles.

However, the impact of its range of power is limited, and as long as it is outside of its power, it will never be affected by drought. Zhou Dong spoke slowly, narrating the real cause of the drought for Chen Mo.

"What does that have to do with escorting these prisoners? Could it be that they made it up? ”

Chen Mo was still puzzled and asked, in fact, there was another guess in his heart, but he felt that it was unlikely.

"Of course not, how can they have the ability to make a drought. Among these group of death row prisoners are Qi refiners from the Heavenly Dao Sect and many martial artists, who are the top candidates for sacrifice, and they must be used to hold ceremonies in order to seal the drought fish. ”

Chen Mo's face was slightly surprised, but he didn't expect that he really guessed that these people were really used as sacrifices.

"Then since you are treating them as sacrifices, why do you have to prepare so many people to guard them, and let you come in person, Uncle Zhou.

Now that these Qi Refiners and Martial Artists of the Heavenly Dao Sect can be captured, they should have little ability to resist. ”

Chen Mo was even more puzzled, since these martial artists and qi refiners had been captured, there was a way to make them lose their ability to resist.

To deal with a warrior, you can shatter the dantian and use an iron ring to pass through its pipa bone.

To deal with Qi Refiners, in addition to the above methods, there is also a spirit sealing talisman made by the Heavenly Supervisor, which can seal the operation of spiritual power in their bodies.

It's really not possible, piercing its sea of consciousness with a golden needle can also make it lose its ability to resist.

Even if it was to escort eighty Qi Refiners and Martial Artists, there was no need to use such a battle, even if the number of escorts was reduced by half, they would not have a chance to escape.

"yes, they really don't have much to resist. But some people don't want to let them be sacrifices, and they want to rob and kill them halfway. ”

When Zhou Dong said this, his brows couldn't help frowning slightly, obviously he also had a headache about this.

Chen Mo was really a little confused, what kind of person was idle, and he wanted to rob and kill the death row prisoner who was going to die.

Even if the people of the Dutian Dao Sect did not encircle and suppress it, not only did they not lie dormant now, but they also dared to come to rob the prisoner car.

But it should be to save people, not to kill.

"Since you know the ruins realm, then you know that in the ruins realm, you will not be affected by the mirage.

Therefore, the ruins realm, on the other hand, is a relatively special cave blessed land.

The Drought Fish is also a type of Ruin Monster, and the area it can affect is the Ruins Realm. And there are no strange laws in this ruin realm, just a simple drought. ”

As he finished speaking, Chen Mo instantly realized, and he finally understood why he had never encountered a mirage when he fled.

You must know that when he first fled, he was not alone, sometimes there were many people.

It's just that he was close to starving to death at that time, and he was in no mood to count how many people were around him.

When he heard his stepfather talk about the secret of the mirage, he only thought that he was lucky, and there were no more than fifty people gathered around him.

And now all doubts have finally been answered, not because of my luck, but because from the first moment of my escape.

Qingzhou has been covered by the drought ruin realm, even if there are many people gathered, they will not be affected by the mirage.

"If that's the case, then why didn't the imperial court seal the drought before. Now that it's suddenly going to be sealed, it's better to keep it. Chen Mo asked again.

If it was when the drought had just appeared, the imperial court immediately organized people to seal it, then it was normal.

And now there is not even a living person in the entire Qingzhou, and everything that should be lost has been lost, and then sealing it is a bit of an afterthought.

Instead, it might as well be left as an area protected from the effects of mirage, which may be more valuable.

"The imperial court thought so at the beginning, but it is still expanding, so it must be sealed." Zhou Dong explained slowly.

If the drought affected by this drought does not continue to expand, then the imperial court may hesitate to seal it.

After all, everything that should have been lost has been lost, and it doesn't make much sense to seal it now.

But since it will continue to expand, it must be sealed, otherwise the problem will become more and more difficult to solve when the scope of the drought continues to expand.

"As for why the seal has not been sealed until now, there are many reasons, mainly because there are no sacrifices.

If it weren't for the fact that Du Tiandao had gathered enough sacrifices for this encirclement and suppression, and there was a Jindan Zhiqiang who had recovered from his slumber after learning about this matter, he was willing to sacrifice at his own expense, then this matter would probably have to be delayed any longer. ”

Zhou Dong sighed softly as he spoke, Qingzhou has killed many Li people, and it is indeed very miserable.

But it's easy to make everyone sympathize, if you really want to make sacrifices and save the people of Qingzhou with your life, then I'm afraid few people are willing.

Not everyone has the courage to do so by sacrificing one person to save the world.

Especially if the sacrifice needed is not an ordinary powerhouse, it must also be a Jindan ancestor, so it is even more difficult to find.

You must know that every Jindan Ancestor is the most important foundation of a force, and every death may cause a turmoil.

Even when such a person is nearing the end of his life, he will fall into a deep sleep with secret methods, and will only wake him up when he is most dangerous.

For example, Jin Dan, who was about to sacrifice this time, fell into a deep sleep near the end of his life.

As for the people of the Dutian Dao Sect, they can only be regarded as an addition in this matter, mainly looking at the Jindan monk.

If he wasn't willing to sacrifice himself this time, then I don't know how long the matter of sealing the Drought Fish would have to drag.

"What kind of person is that, if you want to stop this seal, could it be some Qi Refiner from the Outer Path of Evil Demons?" Chen Mo asked softly.

If someone really has the motivation to do this, then this person is a Qi Refiner.

The reason is simple, because as long as the Qi Refiners with a little attainment in cultivation can already open the valley, they don't need to eat, as long as they absorb the power of heaven and earth, they can live well.

Even if the heavens and the earth are all dry, they will not die of hunger, and they will not die of thirst.

And an area that is not affected by the mirage is undoubtedly good for them.

Therefore, if there is really someone who doesn't want to see the Drought Fish being sealed, then it can only be a Qi Refiner.

"You guessed it right, it's a small group of Qi Refiners who want to let this ruin realm continue to expand, but they may not be demonic outsiders.

Because the Cave Heaven Blessed Land will not be affected by the ruin realm, even if other places are dry, the Cave Heaven Blessed Land will still have abundant rain and can grow food.

So of course they want to keep spreading this ruin, and it will be of great benefit to them. ”

Zhou Dong nodded lightly, confirming Chen Mo's guess.

With the Cave Heaven and Blessed Land, these Qi Refiners don't have to worry about their children and grandchildren starving to death because they don't have food.

Therefore, they don't care that the drought will continue to expand, they only care about whether they can dispel the mirage and make it easier for them to move and practice.

It is true that the vast majority of Qi Refiners understand that once there are no ordinary people and only rely on their own family to reproduce, the sect inheritance will be cut off sooner or later.

Therefore, the marble must be sealed.

There is even a Jindan powerhouse who is willing to sacrifice for this and solve this problem at his own expense.

But there are always some Qi Refiners who don't care about this, they don't even care about their relatives, they only care about whether their own cultivation is convenient.

For their own selfish desires, even if they sacrifice heaven and earth, they don't care.

In their eyes, ordinary people are nothing more than lowly beings like ants, and if they die, they will die.

Of course, they wanted to prevent the Drought Fish from being sealed, so that this ruin realm could be further expanded, so that they could better cultivate and walk between heaven and earth.

And the warriors and the imperial court must seal the drought.

Because the vast majority of warriors have to eat, and they are not affected by the mirage.

As for the court, if the people are gone, then what court is there.

"Then how many Qi Refiners do we have to guard against?" Chen Mo pondered for a moment and asked in a condensed voice.

"There won't be too much of this, even if some Qi Refiners don't want to see the Drought Fish being sealed, at most, they will make small moves in private, and they don't dare to come in a big way.

Now every cave heaven blessed land in Qingzhou is in charge of the strong people of the Heavenly Prison Division to prevent them from becoming moths at this time.

In addition, there may be some demons who want to stop this, but there are not too many of them.

I estimate that there will be at most some Qi Refining Realm cultivators, and it is impossible for the Foundation Building Cultivators to have them. ”

Zhou Dong didn't look very nervous.

Sealing the drought is already the consensus of the vast majority of people, even if some people don't want it to be sealed.

It is impossible to openly oppose it, and at most to use some small means secretly.

"But you must also remember that you must not relax in this matter, and you must not take it to heart." Zhou Dong then admonished.

Although there may not be much danger along the way, we must not relax too much, and we must still have the basic precautions we should have.

"Juniors understand." Chen Mo bowed down and stepped back.

Mo Hu stood outside the door and waited, smiling and putting his arm on his shoulder, "Your fifth brother and I have come to your realm today, you have to treat me well." ”

He smiled very happily, as for what Chen Mo and Zhou Dong talked about, he didn't ask more.

He knew that with his relationship with Chen Mo, if he could tell himself these things, then he would definitely not hide his secrets.

On the contrary, if he can't, then he won't say if he asks himself.

Chen Mo took Mo Hu to the best restaurant in the city, and the two brothers drank happily.

It wasn't until Mo Hu was lying under the table and talking nonsense that Chen Mo stopped the wine cup.

The soldiers of Anyang Mansion, who escorted the prisoners, rested here for a day, and continued their journey the next day.
