Myriad Paths

Li Qi rode his old horse and quickly rushed to the previous battlefield.

In the center of the previous battlefield, the remaining uninjured sergeants were cleaning the battlefield.

There's really nothing to clean.

In a war of that intensity, it is difficult to leave corpses behind, and it is even difficult for souls to exist.

And Li Qi is here now, helping to appease the remaining souls, and bringing many medicines and... spiritual tablets to these soldiers.

They are all white, just waiting to be engraved on them and ready for use.

Seeing Li Qi coming with these things, the sergeants of the White Rhino Army were dumbfounded.

I don't know whether to praise him for his thoughtfulness or to scold him for being inconsiderate.

But, anyway... at the moment, this is really lacking.

It's just a bad omen, but in fact the magic cards are really not enough.

Soon, a quartermaster came forward to receive these things and expressed his gratitude to Li Qi.

Soon after bidding farewell to the quartermaster, another senior officer came to visit.

Obviously, he is the current general of the White Rhino Army, Li Kedi, who was fished out of prison by Li Qi before.

The general, who could tell at a glance that he was seriously injured, walked up to Li Qi, knelt down on one knee, raised his hands and said to Li Qi:

"Li Ke Di, I have met the young master... This is the first time we have met, right? The young master has a wonderful plan. He not only saved my life, but also saved the people of the state. Lie Ke Di is very grateful, but he doesn't know what the young master is here for." What's the matter?"

Li Qi hurriedly helped him up: "Generals, please don't speak like this. You and I are all doing it for the sake of the people. There is no distinction between superior and inferior, let alone any matter of favor. However, the general is full of loyalty. I admire him very much. He also Please don’t humiliate yourself, general, and just be equal to me.”

Seeing that Li Ke's enemy still hadn't risen, Li Qi said again: "Young man did the same thing as the general. According to the rules of the army, colleagues should be rewarded with the same reward and punished with the same punishment. The general humiliated himself, but Do you think we haven’t done a good job in this matter?”

Li Qi had already talked about this, and Li Kedi could not hold on any longer, so he could only bow to him again: "Young Master Gaoyi, if it weren't for Young Master this time, Guangyang would really be in ruins, please accept this one." Worship, although it is meaningless, just express my inner feelings."

Li Qi had no choice but to bow down and then help Li Kedi up.

Then, he invited Lie Kedi to sit down in the military tent and said to him: "Okay, general, please sit down. The general asked me before what I came for. In fact, besides delivering supplies this time, I have something else to ask for." "

"Master, please tell me, but we have to fight again?" Lie Kedi asked.

Apart from fighting, he really couldn't think of what other soldiers like him could do to help the other party.

"That's not the case. The White Rhinoceros Army has already suffered heavy casualties. How can we let you go to the battlefield again?" Li Qi denied this statement, and then said: "Can the general see the current situation in Guangyang?"

"The situation?" Hearing this, Li Kedi thought for a moment: "Is the young master talking about the earth's anger?"

"I have also noticed this. After the Shanshui Formation is activated, production will be reduced for a period of time. However, if many large families in Guangyang are mobilized and let them open warehouses to release grain, then it should still be able to survive."

When Li Kedi said this, he explained the situation to Li Qi: "Young Master has just arrived, so I'm afraid he doesn't know the situation in Guangyang. There is an organization in Guangyang called the Grain Alliance, which controls the grain business. Many large nobles have shares in it. In their hands, Generally, there is enough food stored for more than two or three years. If it is properly prepared, there will be no food shortage. "

"I'm thinking about moving troops back to the city. I may implement military control when necessary. If the young master also has this intention, that's just right. In this way, as long as this matter is done smoothly, no one in Guangyang will starve to death within two years. ”

Li Kedi is naturally not a fool. He also has some understanding of the landscape formation. He knows that food production will definitely be reduced in the future, so now he is making arrangements for what to do.

However, he still thought too shallowly. After all, he didn't know that the landscape formation was not an overdraft of land power after normal use...

Instead, together with the water veins of the mountains, they were shattered by the black-skinned monk.

In the entire Guangyang, within ten years, all trees will wither, farmland will fail, wild animals will be infertile, and rivers will dry up.

We will definitely not be able to survive by relying on food reserves alone.

Until nature recovers, I'm afraid the entire population of Guangyang will have to flee.

Tens of millions of refugees fled to other states in Bailin Kingdom.

People who leave their hometowns are as cheap as dogs. If they really start to flee collectively, maybe five or six out of ten will die.

Even if they escape to other states, they will most likely be sold into slavery.

Otherwise, without food and land, how can we live?

I'm afraid only those wealthy families would give up their family business and go to other states to become rich.

Li Qi naturally understood that Li Kedi actually didn't know about this, so he smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid the matter is not as simple as the general thought."

"Actually, Guangyang's local atmosphere is not just as simple as reducing production. General, come with me." Li Qi stood up and whistled, and Lao Ma rushed over.

Li Kedi also called for his mount, which was also a tall horse. Although it was not a dragon colt, it was still a rare and rare horse.

Dragon colts are still rare, and dragon colts like Lao Ma are even rarer.

When Lao Ma truly enters the ninth level, he can no longer be called Dragon Colt, and he should transform by then.

Of course, not in human form.

Instead, it transformed into a dragon form.

Generally, monsters take the form of a race with natural spiritual wisdom, so that they can also get some spiritual wisdom and make themselves smarter.

Generally speaking, monsters will choose human form, because it is easiest and most common to transform into humans.

But there are also other races with natural wisdom, such as golden-winged rocs, dragons, phoenixes, and even jade rabbits and golden crows.

They are less common than humans, but are actually one of the options for shapeshifting.

As a dragon colt, Lao Ma transforms into a dragon after reaching the ninth level, and will definitely go in the direction of the dragon.

In fact, there is already a trend. The green scales emerging from his body, as well as the auspicious clouds and thunder after flying in the sky, are all the characteristics of a dragon.

Walking with Li Kedi, the old horse did not fly, but ran on the ground honestly.

The two rode horses, with Li Qi leading the way, and quickly crossed the plain.

It was originally a mountain road, but after the battle, the mountains here were basically flattened. There were a lot of broken glass on the ground, and there were also many large rocks.

That's the rock that just appeared after the magma cooled.

About half an hour later, the two horses ran more than a hundred miles away, and other unaffected mountains appeared.

Arriving here, Li Qi got off his horse and landed on the ground.

Li Kedi also dismounted, not knowing why or what Li Qi was doing here.

"General, wait and see." Li Qi walked up here and put a little force on his feet, only to see a large hole exploded in the ground, about one meter deep.

Li Kedi walked over and took a look, his pupils shrank and his expression suddenly stiffened.

Normally, the soil below one meter from the ground should be very moist and dense.

There is water vapor underground, and plants can absorb the water vapor only by taking root downwards for their own growth.

When the water vapor and the earth's air combine into one, a moist and dense black soil or black soil will be formed. This kind of soil is rich in nutrients and has sufficient air of all kinds, allowing plants to grow well.

And if the water vapor is lost and the earth qi exists alone, it will show a withered yellow color, which is the color of pure earth qi.

Dry yellow soil means that there are no water veins under or around the land. Water vapor and earth air cannot mix to form fertile soil, which is not suitable for farming.

Lieke enemies often see that kind of wasteland with only earth energy and no water vapor. This is normal.

However, this was the first time he saw...whitened soil.

The soil here is like... saline-alkali land?

It is obviously one meter deep into the ground, so it should be very moist soil, but now it looks dead and white.

Not only is there no water vapor, even the earth's qi has dried up.

Li Kedi bent down, reached into the ground, fished out a piece of soil, and gently twisted it with his fingers. The soil immediately broke into pieces.

It's not so much soil as it is sand.

"This... this, this?" Lie Kedi stuttered. He suddenly raised his head and looked at Li Qi.

Li Qi sighed: "Monk Zenzhi's master, that is, the black-skinned monster monk, shattered the mountains and rivers formation, and the water veins of the mountains were shattered. Now in Guangyang, all the earth's air and water have dried up. According to our estimates, , within ten years, there will be no harvest, severe drought and famine.”

Rain is also transformed by mountain air, so there will be a severe drought later and not a drop of rain will fall.

"Besides, look again." After Li Qi finished speaking, he commanded the old horse to go up the mountain.

The old horse nodded, then jumped into the air and rushed towards the mountain quickly.

After a while, the old horse flew down with a mountain eagle as big as a person in its mouth.

Then, he swung the mountain eagle towards Li Qi and took a few steps back.

Li Qi picked up the body of the mountain eagle and stretched it. It can be seen that its wingspan is more than five meters, which is far larger than the size of a normal mountain eagle. It is obvious that it has become a demon, but the demonic aura is very weak, and there is more The scent of incense lingers.

This is abandoning the demonic way and taking the divine way.

However, there is no point in saying anything, because the mountain sculpture has turned into a corpse.

There were no wounds on the body, nor any signs of fighting, but it died suddenly and suddenly.

"This is... the mountain god of this place? How could he die here? Is it also because of the great landscape formation?" Lie Kedi looked at the mountain eagle, his fingers and lips trembling slightly, in disbelief.

"The backlash after the collapse of the mountain and water formation was huge. Even Boyue, who presided over the ceremony, almost died suddenly. It took the fifth grade to cure his injuries. As for the other mountain gods and water gods, although the backlash they endured was not as severe as Boyue's, But there are also seven out of ten casualties, and all the gods are in mourning. It may be difficult to repair it by relying on the gods of mountains and rivers alone. "

Li Kedi was silent.

He now knows that if this situation is followed, all the situations and plans he originally envisioned will have no effect at all.

If he followed his method, Guangyang would be devastated and a large-scale exodus would be inevitable.

The scene was silent for several minutes, and then he finally raised his head and looked at Li Qi, as if grasping a life-saving straw: "Master, come to me, there must be a solution, right!? Is there anyone I can help with?" matter?"

Li Qi nodded: "I have thought of a way to solve this matter."

"Today's Guangyang, the mountains and rivers are in ruins, the ghosts and gods are greatly injured, but only the people are still well-preserved. I want to hold a big sacrifice and gather the power of everyone to heal the wounds of the earth, so I need the help of the general."

"Preparing such a sacrifice is not something I can do alone, so I need to ask the general to work together." Li Qi said solemnly.

"Obligated!" Li Kedi immediately clasped his fists and agreed.

Li Qi nodded: "I will arrange the specific matters later. The general will go to deal with the aftermath in the army first. The preparations for the grand ceremony cannot be completed in a day or two. I still need to inform others."

"Young Master will definitely come when called." Li Kedi promised, and then watched Li Qi leave.

Li Qi just looked for them one by one.

Next one is Zhang Lan.

It turned out that Zhang Lan had already left silently, and was about to leave Guangyang and head towards the Sky-Devouring Demon's Nest.

The demon monk has been killed, but are there more than one or two demons in the world? It's time for him to embark on a new journey.

He slipped away without even saying hello to anyone else.

This is exactly the ending Zhang Lan wants most.

Hello.

A knight's journey is nothing better than this!

Handsome criticism!

Zhang Lan's character has always been like this. From the exchange of compliments between him and Li Qishong when they first met, we can know that he actually quite likes this feeling.

I don't like to show my holiness in front of others, I just like to leave legends silently and then feel happy secretly.

However, although he seems a bit out of place, he is also really eager for justice and is willing to draw his sword to help when encountering injustice. He is a true knight.

However, this time, he was only halfway there when he suddenly saw auspicious clouds and green thunder in the sky, rushing towards him.

"That's... Li Qi's dragon colt? Why are you coming to me?" Zhang Lan reined in his horse and stopped in place.

He was a little happy, but also a little unhappy.

Fortunately, Li Qi made a special trip to see him off, which made him feel very good.

What I was unhappy about was that my perfect exit was slightly flawed.

Originally, a great event was accomplished, and it was swept away without dust, without cause and effect, without taking away a single cloud, leaving only the name and legend of the knight.

But if there was a farewell scene, it would look draggy and not so handsome.

But he couldn't drive people away after they came, so he reined in his horse and stopped, waiting for Li Qi to fall.

Li Qi quickly arrived and landed on the ground: "Brother Zhang!"

"Brother Li, why did you come to me all of a sudden? Could it be that you wanted to say goodbye? When did you become such a sloppy, mother-in-law person?" Zhang Lan took the lead and looked impatient.

Li Qi smiled. He naturally knew Zhang Lan's temperament, so he didn't talk nonsense with him in this regard, but directly stated his purpose.

He wanted Zhang Lan to help coordinate the Jianghu people.

An eighth-grade Jianghu guest would definitely be able to speak in all aspects of Jianghu, and he was also familiar with the rules of Jianghu. Li Qi would feel more at ease if this aspect was left to him.

"I see, then leave it to me!" Zhang Lan agreed, patting his chest after hearing this.

Li Qi thanked him, mounted his horse, and turned back.

It’s time to find Wang Baiyan and Guangyang Sikong.

(I feel physically and mentally overwhelmed, so I will take a day off tomorrow.)

(A new volume will start soon. Please help me recommend books.)
