The population of Dawang Village is not too much, it is a little less than that of Zhaojia Village, but it is also mostly old, weak, sick and disabled, and there are fewer young and middle-aged laborers. (For the latest chapter reading, please visit)

Through interviewing the villagers, Zhao Sidong has a general understanding of the situation here.

There is a lot of farmland in the village, but due to the quality of the soil, the harvest is not very ideal.

It is said that in the first ten years of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the situation has slowly changed.

Ten years ago, Dawang Village experienced a serious crop failure, while other villages reaped a bumper harvest in the same year, because it was a good year.

As a result, in the last three to five years, the situation in the village has become more and more difficult, although there is no such serious lack of harvest, but what is planted does not grow, what is planted does not bear fruit, and at the end of the year, after selling the part collected by the state, the harvest is just enough to eat.

Therefore, many laborers simply go out to work, although they can't earn much money by suffering outside, but it is much better than digging in the soil.

"It seems that we have to invite Professor Zhao and them over to have a look, but it's also strange, if the soil quality is not good, it should always be bad, how can it get worse year by year?" Zhao Sidong muttered to himself in confusion while looking at the field full of crops in front of him.

Li Linfeng hesitated beside him for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Mayor Zhao, speaking of this, there is actually a legend here ...... us."

"Oh?" Zhao Sidong turned his head to look at him, "Say, don't have any scruples, you know, I'm also a young man, and I won't have any old-fashioned thoughts." ”

Li Linfeng nodded, looked left and right at no one around, then lowered his voice and said: "That's the case, I heard the older generation say that three years before the natural disaster, there was a very powerful monster in Daling Town, and no one knows what that monster has changed, only that it has a group of subordinates, all of whom are very powerful." You say this monster, they don't eat people, they just like what aura, there was once a Taoist who passed by Daling Town, and said that there was a demon here, and then took the initiative to subdue the demon, but he didn't think he could beat the monster, but let the monster be injured. ”

Monster?

Zhao Sidong's heart moved, and he said thoughtfully: "You go on." ”

Li Linfeng saw that he did not denounce his feudal superstition, so he had the courage to continue.

After the Dao Leader of the You Fang was injured, he left Daling Town, and it didn't take long for the Dao Leader of the Immortal Wind Dao Bone to come back and work together to get rid of the monster, but its group of subordinates didn't know where to hide.

Those Dao Masters stayed in Daling Town for a while, and they didn't find anything unusual, so they left one after another. (For the latest chapter reading, please visit)

As a result, a few years later, three years later, the natural disaster broke out, and since then, the villages within the town of Daling have more or less deteriorated the quality of the land, and experts from the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences came down to investigate, but the results did not find any problems, and the final conclusion was that the quality of the soil was reduced due to geological changes.

"Anyway, the older generation in our local area doesn't believe that it is the cause of geological changes, but now they don't all pay attention to science and oppose feudal superstition, so no one dares to say that they will go to the masters to see if there are still monsters......" Li Linfeng said monsters, but it was obvious that judging from his expression, he actually didn't believe in this.

After all, he is a highly educated person, even if he is a rural person, he is still somewhat different from the older generation.

Zhao Sidong didn't say anything about the legend told by Li Linfeng, but just ended his research in Dawang Village and drove to the next target.

For several days, Zhao Sidong went out early and returned late every day, and took Li Linfeng to visit all the villages under the jurisdiction of Daling Town, and obtained a lot of information.

In this process, he would occasionally hear some elderly villagers mention the legend about the monster in a storytelling tone, but there will be some differences in the speech, the only thing that remains the same is that there are indeed monsters within the scope of Daling Town!

......

When Saturday came, Zhao Sidong drove out of the town under the pretext of going out to do some personal business, and when he walked to a very remote place, he got out of the car, and then made Tiezhu turn on the stealth mode and fly in the sky, and he himself flew towards Zhaojia Village incognito.

After he was transferred, a new village chief was assigned to Zhaojia Village, but he was directly promoted from the village.

Zhao Sidong walked around the village incognito, and finally came to the backyard of the Zhao family's ancestral hall.

Usually, no one will come here, even Zhao Deshuan, who is in charge of cleaning the ancestral hall, only comes to clean the dust and fallen leaves on the fifteenth day of the first day of every month.

Today is neither the first day nor the fifteenth day of the new year, so Zhao Dezhuan will not appear.

Raising his hand to lay a prohibition, Zhao Sidong took out a jade talisman from the storage space, slapped his hand up, and a few light clusters flew out of the jade talisman, turning into a small figure several feet long in the wind.

They were the mountain spirits and wild monsters who were 'confined' by Zhao Sidong because they were playing here before.

"Oops, it's finally out, it's finally out!"

"yes, I thought I would never see the sun in my life. ”

"How precious the feeling of freedom is, I'm so happy!"

"Phew, that place is so small and dark, I'm almost going to suffocate. ”

A few guys shouted in a mess, and it took a long time to find that Zhao Sidong was watching them coldly, so they quickly quieted down.

"Trouble, trouble. Zhao Sidong saw that they were silent, so he sneered and said: "Listen, I have a question for you, if you answer honestly, maybe I will release you in advance, otherwise, then obediently confine me in it for a hundred years!"

Hearing this, the guys were frightened, and they wanted to beg for mercy but didn't dare to open their mouths, so they had to put on a very obedient appearance pitifully, looking as cute as they wanted.

However, Zhao Sidong is not a girl, so she will not be easily cute, and asked in a deep voice: "I want to know, have you ever damaged human life?"

The spirits were silent.

"Why, don't you dare to answer?" Zhao Sidong raised his voice slightly.

So the gourd spirit didn't care much, and hurriedly replied: "No, no, absolutely not! Shangxian you have to believe us, we have never harmed human life, we usually don't eat much, just inhale a little aura!"

"Inhale a little aura?" Zhao Sidong then asked, "Where did the aura you inhale come from?"

"This ......" gourd spirit scratched his scalp in embarrassment.

Zhao Sidong glared at him and shouted, "What, don't you want to say? Then you better go to confinement......

"Don't, don't, don't! We say, we say!" The rat spirit next to him was startled, and hurriedly replied.

After some explanations, Zhao Sidong finally understood.

It turned out that they were the subordinates of the demon clan in the local legend, but because they themselves did not have a good bloodline inheritance, and the earth was now in the end of the law era, they had only barely cultivated their human bodies after living for more than a hundred years. Later, under the guidance of the youkai they worshipped, they learned how to seek out and absorb aura.

The mountains and rivers in the Daling Town area, like other places, contain aura, although the amount of this aura is not large, but at least there is one, and it can be directly absorbed through a secret method.

Therefore, they inhale some aura from time to time to slowly refine and transform, because their number is not large, so the demand for aura is not large, so that the land that they absorb aura will become white land.

However, after a long period of time, the gradual reduction of the aura of the land still had a more obvious consequence - the crops grown in the fields continued to decrease, and the same was true for the fruit trees planted in the mountains and forests.

The most serious situation is the Dawang Village, don't look at the green plants everywhere around the village, but because of the deterioration of the soil, it can't grow anything good, and even the crops in the fields are not as lush as the weeds on the mountain!

"Where do you usually stay?" Zhao Sidong pondered for a moment and asked.

The answers of several mountain spirits and wild monsters were different, and it turned out that they did not live in the same place, and they were all scattered near different villages.

They don't live in the village, because there are many people in the village, even if there are only some old, weak, sick and disabled left, the yang energy is enough to make them feel uncomfortable, so they often live in the mountains around the village.

For example, the gourd essence, it lives in the ravine on the north side of Zhaojia Village, where there is a wild gourd vine, and it usually nests there to cultivate, and only goes out to play when everyone agrees every month.

"So...... Who lives in Dawang Village?" After figuring out this, Zhao Sidong understood more and more that the production of the fields in Dawang Village was the most serious, so there was no need to ask, there must be someone who absorbed too much spiritual energy.

However, these guys don't know where Dawang Village is, although they can speak people, but they only know the names of mountains and rivers, but they have no impression of the village inhabited by humans.

Zhao Sidong had to roughly describe the terrain of Dawang Village, and several mountain spirits and wild monsters thought for a while, and the snake spirit replied weakly: "It should be where the iron armor lives......

"Ironclad, who's Ironclad?"

The snake spirit hesitated for a moment, but replied, "The body of the iron armor is a crocodile, and he is always late when we make an appointment to play together...... If he hadn't been late last time, he would have fallen into the hands of the Immortals just like us now. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Sidong couldn't help but feel a little painful.

Last year, when he caught these mountain spirits and wild monsters here, he once inadvertently said that "there is only one crocodile spirit missing", but he didn't expect that there are really crocodile spirits in this place!

So, he rolled his eyes and said, "Okay, if any of you can contact the Iron Armor, or take me to find the Iron Armor, I'll consider who to let go first." ”

As soon as these words came out, the mountain spirits and wild monsters shouted one after another.
