After purifying the demonic qi and sending the ghost of Master Tang into the earth, several people absorbed the natural energy and Dao source that escaped, although it was less, but it was better than the daily cultivation absorption, and more importantly, they could contact the rare Dao source, and they all had a chance to comprehend the new method.

However, this time, several people did not comprehend any new formulas, but they did understand before, Li Zhengdao two, Ying Wuxin two, Sun Xiaoman and Bai Miaozhen each one, Wang Banxian also one.

However, the newly comprehended formulas are all relatively subtle, consume a lot of natural energy, and are powerful, and there is no use for these little evils encountered at the moment.

But the hearts of several people were still very tense, because the closer they got to the royal capital, the more they knew that there would definitely be a fierce battle waiting for them in the future.

Therefore, while going to the royal capital, they need to improve their strength as much as possible and keep their powerful methods secret, which is the key to being able to deal with vicious battles in the future.

In the evening, the official of the Lingshan County Ya came, and after the Tang family inquired, the owner of the Shoucai store in the county town was arrested, and after an interrogation, the boss faced the evidence and had to admit that it was indeed his hand, as for the reason, he was afraid that the coffin that was sold would be returned.

What Master Tang bought was the most expensive coffin in their longevity store, and it was also the key to his survival, if it was returned, the longevity store would inevitably go out of business.

Even if he doesn't return the goods, once the rumors of the corpse fraud spread after using their coffin, he will be shut down, in order to survive, the owner of the longevity store chose to take a risk, and after the guy notified him that there was a sound of scratching the coffin plank, he had a murderous intention, so he had the following action.

The magistrate sentenced the case, and the case was over, the Tang family father and son sent a silver ticket, took away the list of rewards, and sent a few people away.

After leaving Lingshan County and entering Luoshui County in front, the weather became rainy, and it rained for five days, both big and small.

As the saying goes, an autumn rain is a cold, this autumn rain comes down one by one, the weather is getting colder and colder, and at night, ordinary people already need to cover a thin quilt to keep warm.

Several people are Taoist heroes, so they are naturally not afraid of this, but after days of autumn rain, the road is muddy, and it becomes more and more difficult to rush forward.

However, after Luoshui County, it is the boundary to which the royal capital belongs, and thinking that it is getting closer and closer to the royal capital, everyone is a little nervous in their hearts, but also a little more hot.

The autumn rain continued to fall, and the five people each held an oil-paper umbrella, carried their own packages, lined up, and marched along the official road.

"It's strange, there seems to be a sentry in front of you. "The one who walks in the front should not be careful.

A few people from the back came out and looked forward, only to see that on the official road in front, there was indeed a wooden fence lying there, and there were soldiers in leather armor on both sides to guard, and a simple grass hut was built on one side, and there were several officials in it.

Soldiers generally belong to the army, and they will not be mixed with the people of the county government, and the appearance of these two people together seems very strange, and it is even more bizarre to set up cards on the official road.

Generally, only in emergencies, when a disaster occurs in a certain place, the road will be blocked and checkpoints will be set up, but there must be only one kind of person responsible, and there are two kinds at the moment, and there must be cats.

However, a few people are Taoist heroes, and they are dealing with this, of course, they will not flinch in the slightest, and walk over directly.

"What for?" asked the guard.

"Go to the royal capital. You should not be honest in answering.

"Go back, it's impassable for the time being. The soldier said coldly.

"Why?"

"Where are there so many whys, let you get out of here, don't delay the uncle's affairs, otherwise be careful to arrest you all and put you in a cell. Under the grass shed, a strong man who looked like a team leader scolded.

"You dare to set up a checkpoint here, but you have ever obtained the official document of the imperial court, why haven't you posted it for publicity, this is the most basic requirement, you are a small county town, and you dare to openly violate the laws of the imperial court, you are not small!" Sun Xiaoman shouted loudly, and said with a cold face.

The faces of the soldiers and the servants changed, and then they realized that they had met powerful people, and they knew so clearly, they were definitely not ordinary people.

The team leader also looked surprised, stood up, and carefully looked at a few people.

He glanced at it casually just now, and the five people were dirty, thinking that they were ordinary people, and they couldn't even sit in the carriage, but they didn't expect to take a closer look, and they were shocked to find that the other party's clothes were obviously expensive, and there were long swords behind them, which was obviously the costume of the Daoxia.

"Are you Daoxia?" said the team leader with a panicked face.

"Not bad. ”

Territory swallowed hard, his face was full of sorrow, he knew that he was going to be finished today, and Daoxia wanted to go over, he would definitely not be able to stop it, but the order given from above was that no one could be allowed in, otherwise he would be good-looking.

This is tantamount to condemnation both alive and dead.

"What happened before, why did you set up a private checkpoint here, this is a serious crime, it is possible to raid the house and destroy the door, aren't you afraid?" Sun Xiaoman said.

The faces of the team leader and the people behind them all changed, they knew that this was guilty, but they didn't expect the crime to be so big, and they were a little panicked for a while, but when they thought of the order from above, they had a little more confidence and said: "It's an order from the county master." ”

"He, a civilian official, has the authority to order you soldiers?"

"We were transferred to cooperate with the county magistrate's operation. ”

"What action?"

"It is to block the main roads in Luoshui County, and do not allow people to come and go. ”

Sun Xiaoman's face suddenly gloomy, if there is a disaster, the local government will block the main road and not let everyone in, which is naturally understandable, but if the people inside are not allowed to come out, there will be obviously a problem.

"Get out of the way, we're going in now. Sun Xiaoman's face was extremely unkind.

The soldiers were still standing there, motionless, and the wooden fence was also across the road.

"This woman, her subordinates are also ordered-"

Boom –

A strong wind blew up and directly blew the wooden fence of the road, the soldiers, and the grass hut on one side, and the officials to the ground.

Ying Wuxin stepped forward and said: "If something big happens, what do you have to say to them, go." ”

Before the words fell, Ying Wuxin had already flown out with Wang Banxian, Sun Xiaoman and Bai Miaozhen glanced at the person who fell to the ground, they were not injured, and they also flew up with Li Zhengdao.

Like flying eagles, the five of them went straight ahead, and disappeared into the gray sky of the continuous autumn rain in the blink of an eye.

The team leader's face was gloomy for a while, and he didn't see any movement from the other party, and he and the others were blown to the ground, it is conceivable that the other party's cultivation must be very high, and now seeing their speed, it is even more verifying this idea.

Thinking that there was a powerful Taoist entering, it might make the magistrate blame himself, and the team leader sighed helplessly, knowing that the matter was smashed.

"Hurry up and inform the magistrate and explain the situation just now. The team leader said to the official on the side.

The servant nodded, ran to the ditch on the side, took out a horse, and rode away at a gallop.

The five of them flew along the official road for a distance, saw a lot of houses and buildings next to them, and went to check and found that there was no one inside, and it was very dirty and dilapidated, and it looked like it had been looted.

"We've been discovered, they should send more soldiers to pursue us, we want to investigate, it's best to get out of the way. Bai Miaozhen suggested later.

Ying Wuxin nodded, and flew towards the field with Wang Banxian, followed by the three people.

Five or six miles away from the official road, a village appeared again in front of me, and the scale was not small, there were two or three hundred households, but the strange thing was that near noon, I could not see a trace of cooking smoke rising, nor could I see any people moving inside, and the fields nearby.

After looking at the field, Ying Wuxin stopped and said, "There is a problem with this field, and there is no second crop at all." ”

The land of Jincheng County is fertile, and after harvesting millet wheat, you can plant another stubble, so there is a saying that the autumn harvest is busy, because the second crop time is relatively dry, and it cannot delay planting the most important grain millet and wheat, and the harvest time is usually more urgent.

It is now close to the autumn harvest, but there is not a single crop in the fields here, and the uninhabited villages are like abandoned land.

But this is a plain, and the land is fertile and valuable, and no one wants to waste the land here and plant no crops.

Hearing Ying Wuxin say this, everyone was stunned, no wonder they felt strange after coming over.

In the past, on the road, you could always see dense green crop seedlings in the fields, but here there is a wasteland, which is indeed very abnormal.

Squatting on the ground, Ying unintentionally looked through the soil, there were still most of the straw that had fallen into the ground, which had rotted, and there were some traces of ears at the front end.

"Something big must have happened here, not only did the second crop not grow, the first crop was confiscated, but it was all ripe, and people seemed to be leaving. ”

"Confiscated, the crops are not harvested, what is going on here?" Wang Banxian puzzled, the people regarded the crops as their lives, how could they be willing to leave the crops that were about to ripen without harvesting them.

A few people walked along the ridge towards the village, and next to a few big trees at the entrance of the village, Ying unintentionally stopped, pointed to the remaining soil traces on the trunk and said: "There is a big flood here, the water has reached this height, the people will inevitably evacuate, and no one will harvest the crops here, so it is understandable, not that they don't want to harvest, but they can't collect it." ”

Several people's faces changed, and when they walked into the village, they saw that many houses were collapsed, and there was still a lot of stagnant water in them, and the room was also in a mess, some clothes fell on the ground, and the woman's dirty clothes hung on the fallen table.

"According to what Brother Wuxin said, the flood occurred during the first crop maturity period, and it has been at least three months now, and the people here have not come back, could it be that something unexpected has happened?" Li Zhengdao said with a solemn face, although he is a disciple of Taoism, his family conditions are good, and he doesn't know much about rural affairs, but he also knows when his hometown will harvest the first crop and when the second crop will be harvested.

"Looking at what those guards outside are doing, I'm afraid that something really happened to them. Ying Wuxin looked at the dilapidated village and said leisurely.
