It's noon.

It was a sunny day.

However, with the sound of the locust alarm bell, the sky over the 10,000 acres of gardens of Golden Dew Winery was soon covered like a dark cloud.

Those dark clouds are not real clouds, but insect clouds formed by the passage of locusts.

The locust plague in the immortal cultivation world is far more terrifying than the mortal world.

If the locusts in the mortal world attack the grain fields, they will advance one by one against the ground, and because the immortal cultivation world is led by psychic locusts, they clearly have too many defenses, and they will often pull into the air first, envelop all the territory, and then swoop down.

In this way, they can effectively destroy the defensive positions that the monks have painstakingly built, and even a single charge may directly break the monks' resistance, so as to complete the occupation of the territory and enjoy a sumptuous meal with unscrupulousness.

Ding Xing looked up, and he felt that he had never seen such a terrifying scene in his life.

The originally blue and clean sky suddenly poured out dense spots, and those were all overwhelming locust formations, and his ears were filled with the sound of the insects waving their wings.

The environment also became darker and darker, like a tengu eating the sun, bringing ominous and bad luck.

"Light the incense!"

"Hurry up and incense!"

In the garden, the villagers shouted hoarsely, and almost instantly, the thick fog formed after the burning of the incense of insects spread in the acres of orchards.

The greenery of the garden is quickly obscured.

Locusts prefer to eat green things, and as long as they encounter them, they will always pounce on them with their lives.

Smoke can confuse the direction in which they attack.

But there are so many orchards on the farm, not every household has a worm fragrance to use, after all, this kind of fragrance is a scarce thing, if in a certain month, which winery is crazy to buy, it will cause a situation where supply exceeds demand.

Since the locusts have crossed the border, only six or seven percent of the gardens in the village have lit the incense of insects, and the rest of the incense is not purchased in time, so they can only use other more expensive treasures to control insects.

Ding Xing has incense to order, he and Yu Taibing are divided into two roads, one town in the front garden, and one town in the back garden.

In the past, once the incense mist spreads, they have to leave the orchard and return to the path in front of the garden to wait, but today the situation is different, there are demon beasts hidden in the locust swarm, among which there are many second- and third-order strong demons, they can travel through the incense mist for some time, if they are allowed to find the direction of the incense insertion, and pull out and destroy it, it will be a big trouble.

Moreover, the locust plague will not last for a short time, as little as one day and one night, if the disaster is serious, it may be several days and nights, when the spiritual incense burns out, it is necessary to replenish new incense in time.

Therefore, Ding Xing and Yu Tai can't leave the orange orchard, they must stay next to their incense seats, which is bound to usher in the impact of the locust demon, but this is also a helpless move, and they can't disarm and surrender as soon as the locust plague comes.

Ding Xing looked at the sky, and the layers of insect clouds were falling, and they were about to fall into the garden.

He suddenly took out a wine jar, opened the seal, and fell down from the top of his head, this is the 'insect tears' he refined, soaking his clothes with spirit wine, the wine will also radiate, and ordinary insects and beasts will definitely not be able to get close to his side.

Originally, Ding Xing didn't plan to use the 'Insect Tears', but he saw that the scale of the insect swarm in the sky was so large and there were too many of them, once they rushed into the garden and wreaked havoc, it would be like a hail in the hula, and their vision would inevitably be obscured, and everyone should concentrate on defending their garden, and no one would pay attention to what was happening around Ding Xing.

Ding Xing was also worried that the insect incense would not be able to restrain the locust swarm, and the 'insect tears' was the second line of defense he secretly added.

He couldn't help but wonder: 'These days, there are rumors everywhere in Zhuang Min, if the locust plague really breaks out, the poison cultivators outside the village will definitely take the opportunity to steal wine, but in such a locust natural disaster, the predecessors in the Xuan Fetal period will not be able to move an inch, how can the poison cultivators steal the wine?

Ding Xing couldn't solve this doubt.

He didn't think that the wine thieves would dare to fish in troubled waters, but the villagers spread the evil word one by one, and they were sure that these people would take the opportunity to attack the spirit cellar, because in the past, when the Golden Dew Cellar was opened, such accidents would always occur.

First the plague of locusts, then the theft of wine.

But whether you can succeed in stealing alcohol is another story.

"Huh, the insect swarm has not yet washed down, how can Sister Changjun sacrifice the insect extermination flag, and as soon as the poisonous smoke comes out, isn't she afraid of poisoning all her vines?"

When Ding Xing was on guard against the locust swarm, he looked sideways at his neighbors, all of which were two means of defense.

Meng Changjun single-handedly guarded her own vineyard, without recruiting a helper, she first lit the incense of insects, and then planted a pesticide flag in the garden, which is a poisonous treasure, and the spread of the miasma can effectively restrain the locusts.

However, the poisonous miasma will also penetrate into the vines, and without two or three years of removal, it will not be recovered at all, during which the spirit fruit produced by the vines will be shriveled and bitter, although it is not poisonous, the spirit wine brewed is very ineffective.

Ding Xing originally wanted to persuade Meng Changjun not to use the poison treasure so early, after all, the defensive line of the garden had not yet been broken by locusts, and it was far from the moment of desperate betting.

When he spoke, he suddenly saw the miasma-filled area, and he could no longer peek at the scenery, and Meng Changjun's figure disappeared into the miasma.

He quickly closed his teeth.

When he was murdered by the Mai youth in the snowy forest, he knew that there was an accomplice of the Mai youth in the Golden Dew Winery, and it was this accomplice who provided the Mai youth with the news of his travel, and almost killed himself.

This accomplice is obviously also a wine thief lurking in the village.

However, Ding Xing couldn't find any trace of this person for a long time, and he suspected that Tai was too much, and even still wary of Tai.

He also suspected that every servant he knew, and when he met on a daily basis, he would secretly examine the skins of these people to see if there were any traces of the use of 'skin painting'.

But he has never been suspicious of Meng Changjun, because Meng Changjun treats him like a brother and sister, and he is an acquaintance introduced by Meng Xiaotang's mother Meng Qiaoshi, so it is almost impossible for him to pretend to be a wine thief.

But right now, Meng Changjun suddenly pretended to be a mystery and used the poison treasure to hide his figure.

This behavior was a bit abnormal, and it immediately made Ding Xing pay attention.

But Ding Xing will not completely question Meng Changjun because of a little bit of chasing the wind.

He decided to wait and see.

The more the locust plague arrives, the more likely it is that the traces of the wine thieves will be exposed.

Ding Xing looked at his neighbor on the left, and then went to look at the situation on the right.

In addition to lighting the incense of insects, the berry farm on the right also planted a few 'insect flags', which were held by four servants, and their employer Wu Shizong also made a rare appearance, and today he personally sat in the garden to participate in the fight against the locust swarm.

Wu Shizong is the father of the domineering girl Wu Zhaoying, two years ago Wu Zhaoying was bitten off by a white-hoofed horse, and then was taken to Binghua Mountain by Wu Yuanfang, a disciple of Shangzong, and never returned.

Wu Shizong didn't think about taking Wu Zhaoying home, he married seven or eight wives and concubines, gave birth to several daughters, his life was only greedy for pleasure, he preferred to spend all day and wine, and he never cared about whether the children under his knees were talented.

So back then, the White Hoof Devourer implicated Ding Xing, and Wu Zhaoying insisted that it had something to do with him, but since Wu Zhaoying went to Binghua Mountain, no one mentioned this matter, and Wu Shizong, as his father, had long forgotten Ding Xing.
