Among the four northwestern states, the situation in Lingzhou is very different from the other three states.

Ying Tianchang originally thought that Lingzhou, where the famous black king was located, should be the most serious demon plague in the northwest, but he didn't expect that the demon plague in Lingzhou was, to some extent, not as chaotic as the demon plague in Liangzhou. But having said that, the lack of chaos is not because it is not serious, because all the demons in Lingzhou come from one monster, and that is the Black King Qin Guan.

At first, when he heard about it, Ying Tianchang still didn't believe it, but when he went to Lingzhou, he was a little convinced after walking through the cities that were as safe and sound as Weiming City. Ying Tianchang also understood something somewhat.

According to Qing Leizi, the most serious demon trouble in the northwest is in Mozhou and Jingzhou, where he is located. Ying Tianchang can probably deduce a reason, Liangzhou sits in a Liangwang Mansion, and Mrs. Mingyue of Baiyun Mountain, who is the most incompetent among the Seven Demon Kings, naturally does not dare to make too many times, and the Hundred Beast Mountain Hundred Beast Demon King is also reluctant to make a big move from the bottom of his heart, because no matter whether he wins or loses, the monsters on the top of the Hundred Beast Mountain will be killed and injured, so there are only some harmless small fights. Jingzhou and Mozhou responded to the words of Emperor Shangao, although they were still afraid of the Northwest Army and the Liangwang Mansion, but since they decided to do this, they naturally had some realization, the kings of several mountains in these two states were not as kind as the beast demon kings, the bitter Yuanjun was insidious, the Red Sun King was tyrannical, and the Huangsha Jun was extremely ambitious, and the behavior of the light thunder son around him was not very good-natured, and Ying Tianchang could probably know the style of the monster on the top of the Thunder Valley Mountain under his command.

As for Lingzhou under their feet, on the contrary, no city or town has been seized by monsters, and even small villages have not been touched by demons. Ying Tianchang guessed that it was because Lingzhou to the north was the allies of the Great Xia Grassland that could fight with the Tang Dynasty, and most of the elite of the Northwest Army were in Lingzhou, and the Black King disdained to act like this, so he made a monthly war with the Northwest Army and the Lingzhou government, and the bet was Lingzhou City.

So far, there have been a total of seven battles, and the black king Qin Guan has won seven battles and seven victories.

All the garrisons and officials of the city under his name were withdrawn, and the people stayed as they pleased. And except for the absence of Tang garrisons and officials, there are no more visions in those seven cities, there are no monsters cannibalism, no one has disappeared for no reason, and it is as plain as usual.

And after hearing what Ying Tianchang said, Light Leizi told him that this was not the case. But what the hell, Ying Tianchang didn't answer when he asked about the light thunder.

Thinking about it, Ying Tianchang guessed that it was light thunder, and he didn't know very well why the black king Qin Guan did such a thing.

It is actually not a strange thing that the Liangwang Mansion will agree to Qin Guan's appointment, rather than letting the Black King make a bigger mess in various parts of Lingzhou, it is better to agree to his request, in exchange for a certain degree of stability in Lingzhou. After all, what is adjacent to Lingzhou is not a small border country like Honggu Country, but a hungry wolf with undying ambition.

The black king Qin Guan has no mountains in Lingzhou, and he has no place to live for a long time, such as wandering all over Lingzhou, so even if the light thunder son agrees to bring Ying Tianchang to Lingzhou to look for Qin Guan, whether he can find it or not has to say another matter. However, Light Leizi is still confident, after entering Lingzhou, Light Leizi no longer deliberately hides his qi, including Ying Tianchang, who touched the threshold of half-immortals in Huangyun City, and the qi of the two is like throwing two torches into a pile of dead leaves when they enter Lingzhou, and it is difficult for Qin to find out if he doesn't find it.

So when Ying Tianchang was about to ask the old man of the land, Qing Leizi told him that there was no need.

Unlike these monsters, even if the cultivation is as high as light thunder, as long as the land does not take the initiative to emerge from the earth, let alone dig three feet into the ground, the light thunder will not be able to catch the old man of the land hiding under the protection of the heavenly way by hollowing out all the soil of this earth, plus the gods and demons are separated, even if the land appears, it will not help demons like light thunder. This is also the reason why when Light Leizi and Huangsha Jun searched for the heavens, they only relied on qi induction and did not inquire about the land that knew everything about a place. Ying Tianchang, as a Confucian gentleman and a saint's apprentice, naturally has the means and qualifications to summon the lowest land elder of the gods.

But Light Lei Zi expected that as long as they stepped into Lingzhou, the black king Qin Guan would take the initiative to find them, it was just a matter of time.

Ying Tianchang and Qing Leizi wandered among the cities in Lingzhou that were won by the Black King Qin Guan, compared to the trip to Liangzhou and Mozhou, Ying Tianchang felt inexplicably more relaxed.

There are no displaced people, and there are no youkai who either kill or get killed.

Although it can't be seen or touched, there seems to be a kind of order shrouded in the sky above Lingzhou, so that everything here is orderly, plain and peaceful.

And along the way, the poor are still poor, the rich are still rich, there are occasional sandstorms, and there is often bullying.

This faint order seems to have changed something, and it seems that nothing has changed. It seems that the world has changed something, but when you look at it, the world seems to be like this, as usual, and it is not different.

Ying Tianchang didn't understand it, he wanted to ask the black king, but he knew his answer somewhat. He will let Ying Tianchang see it himself, just like Light Leizi.

A man in black clothes and black robes walked into a tavern in Fuyue City, Lingzhou, and he looked around, and there were few people eating and drinking in the tavern. Whether it is Xiao Er or the shopkeeper, there is laziness on his face.

The man waved his hand to signal that Xiao Er didn't need to greet him, and Xiao Er really found a chair nearby to sit down, ignoring the new man in the store. The shopkeeper nestled in a rocking chair behind the counter, oblivious.

The man walked inside and sat down at the table of Ying Tianchang and Light Leizi, who had come here to rest.

Light Thunder grinned, finally here.

"Lingzhou's rules, do you understand?" the man asked.

It was the first time that Wufu Gu Beilu saw what a battlefield was, what was a tragedy, and what was life and death on the battlefield.

I also saw the invincibility of the Northwest Army's iron cavalry as rumored to be.

Even Gu Beilu knew that he would not survive for a moment under the charge of such an elite horseman.

The only man who was not wearing armor in this elite cavalry of the Northwest Army rode his horse slowly in front of Gu Beilu, and then dismounted and hugged Gu Beilu and said, "Let Gu Shaoxia smile." ”

"The Northwest Army is brave, Gu is fortunate to see it today. Gu Beilu said with a fist in return. Just when the iron horse stepped on the little demon that came like a wave of the Changyan River, this man and himself fought against the Yellow Sand King and the Red Sun King respectively, forcing the two demon kings to flee from the Changyan River.

Of course, there was also the Lady Mingyue who fled.

Gu Beilu glanced at the Changyan River, the largest river in the northwest, and knew that this mountain was gone, and the seven demon kings had lost three of them.

The man smiled and said: "It's not lucky, I am Chen Shulin, the commander of the White Grass Cavalry of the Northwest Army, and I barely took on the role of a miscellaneous general under the command of the prince, and now I am ordered by the prince to come to the aid of Gu Shaoxia." ”

"People with lofty ideals who come to the Northwest Ping Demon Plague don't deserve to die. The prince said. ”

Chen Shulin's name was heard even by Gu Beilu, who came from the South China Sea, Gu Beilu glanced at the smiling man again, it was difficult to associate him with the rumored "ten thousand people in white slaughter", of course, not only slaughtering people and slaughtering cities, but also slaughtering demons.

Gu Beilu is not on the battlefield, and rarely knows about the border battlefield, but even so, in the years when Gu Beilu traveled to the Central Plains, he also heard his friends talk about large and small wars, including Chen Shulin, who is known as the "white-clothed man slaughter" in the Northwest Army. Chen Shulin was originally a Confucian disciple, halfway through the pen from Rong, now as a strategist, and later in the Great Xia disturbance in front of the Liang King Li Xu took the initiative to ask Ying to cut down the Great Xia grassland, incarnated as a Confucian general. As for the specific incident, Gu Beilu didn't care about it, but he really couldn't remember it, he only remembered one thing, Chen Shulin's subordinates never surrendered troops, surrender is killing, and not surrendering is killing.

Gu Beilu turned his head sideways, and sure enough, those Northwest Cavalry had begun to slaughter the demons who had surrendered.

Gu Beilu clenched his fists, but now he had to rely on the spear in his hand to maintain his standing posture, so he could only take a sip of wine. He said, "I'm holding it up." ”

Gu Beilu suddenly remembered something and asked: "From the perspective of Fang Cai, it is not easy for King Liang and the Northwest Army to clear the Northwest Demon Plague, but it is not too difficult. ”

"It's quite simple not to count the Black King Qin Guan of Lingzhou. Chen Shulin said. This man also speaks uprightly.

Gu Beilu asked, "Then why don't you quell the demon rebellion?"

"Isn't it coming now?" Chen Shulin said, "and this is the beginning." ”

Gu Beilu looked back at the Changyan River again, the river was flowing eastward, and he didn't know what was happening.

Gu Beilu didn't know what had happened, and the bald monk Yiye who was walking in the northwest didn't know what was going on, and he didn't even know that there was a demon rebellion in the northwest. He just helps all the people who can help on the road, the demon who can help. The other bald heads, big and small, all say that this is called compassion. It is written in Buddhist scriptures, but young monks hate reading Buddhist scriptures the most.

He wanted to do a little more good deeds and see something he couldn't see before he went back to the temple to see his master and clean up his uncle.

So he is now following the Buddha's light in the dark and walking into Lingzhou in the northwest.

And in a mountain forest in Lingzhou, on this mid-autumn day, the leaves are as green as summer. A young girl sat by the lake, stripped of her shoes and socks, and soaked her feet in the cool water.

The surface of the lake reflects the sunlight from the sky, giving the lake a golden color.

The white cat lay lazily on the girl's lap, and the girl stroked it gently, waiting for a teenager to come to her.

In Weiming City, a pass between the Central Plains and the northwest, an old man with a missing eye received two steamed buns from the relief point and slowly walked back to the refugee area built by Weiming City Taishou for their displaced people.

Looking at the people who came and went again along the way, the old man's only eye was full of disgust. He took a bite of the steamed bun, chewed it twice and then spit it out, and finally sighed and gobbled it up.

The old man looked around and felt that the time was almost up.

Luo Qingfeng was upset for no reason, and always felt that he seemed to have done something wrong. But recently, there have been more and more refugees entering Weiming City, and there are more and more things to deal with, so that he has no time to think about other things. Qiu Zhi suddenly appeared beside Luo Qingfeng and brought good news.

At the foot of the Hundred Beasts Mountain, Qinghuang, who had already explained things a thousand and eight hundred times, was still repeating every detail to Ling Ran, which had become verbose, but Ling Ran was still listening patiently.

After saying this, Qinghuang and Qingshan transformed into orcs and demon bodies, and sprinted to Liangzhou with all their strength to find their friend Ying Tianchang.

At the top of the Hundred Beasts Mountain, the Hundred Beast Demon King Qingyun also set off to descend the mountain.
