The monks of Xianxia Island flew away one after another with the light of the law, and this mountain range also left Ji Yuan and Chang Yi.

Ji Yuan looked around the four fields, although it was burned by the glow and fire, the mountain did not have too many scorch marks, but a slight scorching smell inevitably diffused, for people like them, the more strong the spiritual sense, the more pungent the smell, but ordinary people may not feel anything when they smell it.

Looking at the leyline again, although the gap is still there, the ground has disappeared, and now it is a deep rift, no different from ordinary natural features.

"It's a pity that the mountain god here, this mountain range is not small, the original mountain god's Taoism should not be too bad, the rupture of the leyline must have greatly injured his vitality, and then it was taken advantage of by demons ......"

sighed and said, the relationship between the mountain god of this mountain and the branch of Xianxia Island is not bad, and after the accident, he also tried to notify the other party as soon as possible, but he did not expect to usher in the disaster of the two parties.

"Let's go, let's take a look around the mountain first. ”

After Ji Yuan finished speaking, he rode the clouds with Chang Yi, flew to the sky, and then patrolled in the mountains.

Most of the area in the center of the mountain range is fragmented because of the fighting between immortals, demons, and demons, and the periphery is better, but Ji Yuan scanned the mountains and saw the corpses of countless animals, all of which were washed away by the earth's demons, which led to the death of a large area of animals.

And the problem that Ji Yuan was worried about was obviously not non-existent, although at this moment, he scanned the air with the eyes of the two of them, and did not find any traces of the evil spirit, but the death of the animals in the mountain range showed a state of extension.

It wasn't until they flew a little further to the periphery, and had reached the edge of this mountain range that stretched for hundreds of miles, that living creatures finally began to appear, and they could see herbivorous and carnivorous beasts inhabiting.

On the sky and clouds, Chang Yi's face relaxed a little, and he said to Ji Yuan.

"Mr. Ji, it seems that the earth's leyline evil qi did not spread too far before, otherwise ordinary animals would not have survived. ”

"Well, let's go and take a look at it from a distance, I don't know if the kingdom of the world here is chaotic. ”

"It's not clear to Chang. ”

After a brief exchange of words, the two drove the clouds in the direction of the farther human realm, but the speed was not fast, because during this period, they also had to observe the changes in the aura below and the movement of the leylines.

From the point of view of time, from the Xianxia Island branch vein monks arranging formations at the cracks of the leyline, to being attacked by demons, and then to Xianxia Island's rush to help, this series of things has happened, and at least more than a month has passed since the beginning.

With the speed of Xianxia Island's array flight, it took more than ten days to get from Dazhen to here, but it also takes time for Xianxia Island to cross the East China Sea, plus some of the previous circumstances, more than a month is a reasonable number.

During this period, although the eruption was not as violent as that of being detonated by demons, and most of them were tied up in the mountains, Ji Yuan didn't think that it really wouldn't leak out.

......

A month and a half ago, the northwest of Dongtu Yunzhou was also the northwest of Yuanzhao Kingdom.

On a sunny morning, the ground suddenly began to shake, and countless people panicked, and some even ran outside the house to hide in the house.

Until an old man or an insightful yelled: "The earth dragon turned over ————!"

And screaming for people to escape from the house, or they could be crushed to death by the collapsed house.

But in the end, it was still a false alarm, after all, the mountain range was still a little far away, although there was an obvious earthquake here, but it would not cause too much disaster, and even the earthen embryo house had almost nothing to do, that is, the original dilapidated houses collapsed.

Two or three days after the earthquake passed, most people had forgotten about the earthquake and continued to live their somewhat difficult lives.

It was the third day after the earthquake, and it was a sunny day.

Liao Daqiu and Lao Zhang of the same village took a rake together, drove the ox cart, and moved along the road outside the village a little bit, the old ox at the head of the car looked very thin, but the pace of walking was still very steady, dragging the cart smoothly on the village road with some potholes.

Lao Liao and Lao Zhang sat on the cart, and the former scratched the side of the old scalper with a bullwhip from time to time, and the old scalper knew that it was time to turn there.

Soon, a river appeared in his sight, and Lao Liao looked at it and sighed.

"Hey...... The way of this world......"

Lao Zhang, who was sitting together, looked in the direction of Lao Liao, and saw two corpses by the river, both facing upwards with pale faces, and their skin and flesh were swollen several times.

Because it was not very far from the river, the two of them saw the figure in the river very clearly, and confirmed that this appearance was a corpse, and there was no need to run over to save people immediately.

"I don't know if I drowned, or if I died in a military accident?"

Lao Zhang sighed, Lao Liao shook his head and didn't want to talk about this topic, smacked the cow's butt, and turned the ox cart into a small road, in front of which were several fields full of straw stalks.

Liao Daqiu glanced back at the corpse on the river beach, and then at his companion Lao Zhang.

"Lao Zhang...... When we collect the straw poles and go back, we will ......."

Lao Zhang also knew what Liao Daqiu wanted to say, so he nodded helplessly.

"Okay, the straw will be loaded into the cart in a while, and we will go to the river and collect the corpses of the two soldiers and carry them to the cart, and then take them to the old place. ”

"Hey, that's it!"

While talking, the two old farmers stopped the ox cart and went into the field to work, and these straw poles were loaded back for several carts to be used as firewood for cooking, and occasionally as emergency forage for cattle mixed with other materials to feed the cattle.

After a busy hour, the grass was picked up and put on the ox cart, and at this moment the cart was already piled up with thick hay, and there were still a large number of straw stalks in the field, but the rest would not be taken away, but would be set on fire, so that during the sowing season, the crops would grow better.

"Okay, okay, let's go back. ”

"Hmm. ”

The two drove the ox cart to turn, and soon returned to the river beach, where the two corpses were still lying, this time the ox cart did not pass directly, but was driven to the river by Liao Daqiu.

"Hey......"

Both of them sighed slightly, and began to use a rake to completely pick up the corpse on the shore, because of previous experience, this step was especially careful, for fear that if the corpse was scratched, it would be covered with blood.

Now that the weather was still cold, the corpses did not stink, and the two of them had a lot of effort, and their clothes were wet a lot, before they put the two corpses on the straw pile of the cart, and then got into the cart and drove the cattle away.

More than a quarter of an hour later, the ox cart was already approaching the outside of Maotan Village, where Lao Zhang and Lao Liao lived.

"Lao Zhang, you are watching here, I'll call someone. ”

"Got it, let's go!"

Lao Zhang shrank himself in the haystack, his clothes were a little wet before, and he didn't feel anything when he was hot after finishing his work, but now it's a little cold.

Liao Daqiu got out of the car alone and ran towards the village, and when he met acquaintances along the way, he pulled and said a few words, and even went to the village chief's house to call people.

About half an hour or so passed, and Liao Daqiu came back with four or five men, and they did not come back empty-handed, some with shovels, some with rakes, and some with broken mats.

"Oh, I said Uncle Liao, let's not do this kind of thing in the future, okay? The corpse of a foreigner, just let it go......"

A younger man was carrying a hoe, and he subconsciously fanned his nose before he approached the cart, he was afraid of the smell of corpses.

"Xiao Liu, what your old Liao said at the beginning also made sense, no matter how far away we can't control, the corpses on the roadside outside the village and on the river beach, we can help it, and our village also needs to use river water, the county doctor said that the corpses are becoming epidemics, which is not only to accumulate virtue but also to help themselves. ”

"Yes, yes, yes, count me as talking......"

The young man said no more, but followed the group to the other side, where they first unloaded the straw and then drove the ox cart in the other direction.

It didn't take long for them to come to a mass grave location, where small graves were everywhere, some simply standing wooden signs as tombstones, and some not.

Liao Daqiu also sighed a little, this piece of grave, tracing back to the source, is due to him, of course, he can't kill people, this cemetery is all unknown corpses that died near Maotan Village, it was Lao Liao who originally proposed the idea of helping them into the ground.

In this unpeaceful world, this kind of corpse that died on the side of the road actually exists everywhere.

Not only for the sake of his hometown, but also for the sympathy of these deceased, seven or eight years ago, Liao Daqiu started from the village chief's house, and found acquaintances to discuss things from house to house, and finally had this cemetery area.

I have to say that most people are selfish, but even in a difficult world, there are still good people.

A few people first bowed at a small temple on a half-person high land outside the cemetery, praying for the land lord to take care of them, and then began to work quickly.

They were all crop men who were digging up the pits, and several people took turns digging, and soon dug a big pit, and the corpses were also rolled together by broken mats.

Without turning the corpse much, several people carried it together and put it into the pit.

"There is a debtor and a debtor, we are not the ones who harm you, we can't bear to expose your corpses in the wilderness, we have found a place for you to bury, it is good to have soil to cover your body after death this year, and we have no spare strength to sacrifice to you, rest in peace!"

Liao Daqiu chattered for a while, and then began to fill in the soil with everyone, and this kind of burial work is not as complicated as a regular funeral.

Soon, with the joint efforts of several people, a small grave bag was completed, and Liao Daqiu and the old village chief patted the grave bag with a shovel to tamp the soil a little.

When they went back, everyone felt relaxed, and even the young man who complained before, even if he said a few words before, now he has a sense of accomplishment that he has done good deeds.

"Hey, Lao Zhang, we still have to fix the straw poles. "That's not it!"

"By the way, Uncle Li, I heard that there is a plague in the neighboring county?"

"Hey, don't say it, I've heard about it too, last time I went to the county to procure, I met my wife's family, that person is Langzhong, he told me that the neighboring county has recently had an epidemic. ”

The old village chief carried a hoe to look at them, and then looked at Liao Daqiu.

"So it is very necessary for us to bury the corpses with Lao Liao, I heard that this epidemic is a poisonous miasma from these corpses, and it is a grievance that the dead cannot enter the ground!"

"Shhh...... Uncle Lee, don't talk about it......"

"Hahahaha, you are such a cowardly young man?"

"Hahahaha...... That is to say, Xiao Liu, you can't marry a wife like this!"

"Go, who said I was cowardly!"

A group of people chatted with each other, and returned to the village in bitter joy, although the days were sad, but compared to those roadside bones, it was always much better.

Gradually, the sky became darker, the night was deeper, and the cemetery outside the village gradually had ghost fires rising and falling, and the land temple on the side was faintly filled with yellow light.

In the midst of this calm night, a weasel suddenly appeared in the distant wilderness, and then sped towards the graveyard, finally stopping in front of the Land Temple.

"Squeak squeak...... Squeak squeak......"

The weasel squeaked incessantly in front of the Land Temple, high and low, some sharp and some like crying.

"What? The ghost of the plague is so powerful that the Yin Si can't even suppress it!?It's spreading?"

As the stunned voice appeared, a rickety old man walked out of the land temple and looked at the weasel with a shocked expression.

"Squeak squeak...... Squeak squeak......"

"You...... That's it, you go!"

Hearing the words of the land lord, the weasel stood up and bowed to him, then turned and flew away, disappearing into the wilderness.

The land lord sighed, turned to look at the cemetery, the ghost fire was rising and falling.

In the era of panic, Yin Si was weak, and even the lonely souls and wild ghosts did not have the strength to completely contain them, and the land of this cemetery had already been reported to the city god under its jurisdiction, but after all these years, it could only be maintained like this.

"Hey, plague ghost...... How many people have to die this time......"
