In the Sui Palace.On the iron and wood table, the soil mole skin paper was spread out, and four corner paperweights made of ink and yellow with a texture as moist as wax were pressed against the four corners, and a vast map was spread out flat.

King Ying of the Sui Dynasty stood behind the table, with a golden crown and hair, a majestic royal robe, and a pair of almond-shaped eyes, grinding the entire map inch by inch.

The soil mole's skin is fine and tough, hard to hurt by sharp blades, and invulnerable to water and fire. It can survive for thousands of years without the ink color drying up and the skin color not darkening.However, this map is less than a thousand years old. It was drawn after Yin ruled the world more than [-] years ago.Once drawn, it never changes.

Great Yin is located in the west of the central part. It is connected to Min in the northwest, Hebei in the southwest, Liang in the southeast, and Sui in the northeast. Outside Sui and Liang, it is separated from Lu.

The three kingdoms of Sui, Liang, and Lu were separated by the Daqing Mountains and the Huai River.

After the catastrophe, Ji Cong was in Yin, Min was attached to Lord Yan, and Lu Guo took refuge in the court of God. The Liang State was in chaos. The chaos has been calmed down, and many evil sects do not exist. Although the other Xu bloodlines are ready to move, on the one hand, Xu Huan's previous thunderous tactics are still there. With some cold water poured on them, the ministers of Liang Guo followed the law, and they can hold on for the time being.

Thinking of this, I can't help but sigh in my heart.Liang Wang Xuhuan is a great talent. He took a completely different path from his own. He deserved to rely on the king's spirit, borrow the Hall of Martial Arts and the Tower of Yongsheng, concentrate power on himself, and restrain the generals of the Sui Kingdom. The situation at that time and her being a woman led to the result that ordinary people despise women. If there is no power to shock people, all kinds of rude questions will slow down the passage of government orders, and those who violate the law will not be counted. its number.Only by concentrating power on herself, can she quickly get rid of Sui's mess at that time.But the result of this is that Sui cannot live without her. If she is no longer there, a successor must be chosen. Otherwise, no one can rule the Wuying Hall and Yongsheng Pagoda with royal air, and the Sui Kingdom will be in chaos.

Ah Lu is the result of having no choice but to live up to it.Although Ah Lu is smart, she doesn't have the heart to become the monarch of a country, but this is not a big problem. When she first started, didn't she also want to be the king of Sui?Sui is not like Liang, her blood is weak, A Lu is an accident, her family background is disgraceful, her father had already had two children at that time, and they were in high spirits, and they were in their prime of life, thinking that the result of the single inheritance of the Ying family for several generations would be from her own. If you break it here, you don't want to recognize her.Should not be held back—her name was Ying Chang'an at that time, and Ying Chang'an took A Lu by his side to raise him.

I don't want to have a series of accidents later, now there are only two of them in Ying's five clothes.The situation in Liang Guo's current territory that is ready to move because of the large number of Xu's blood makes her a little envious with complicated emotions.

Before that, don't just control her in the early years, and caused huge troubles for the Sui country. This is also the result of her centralization of power in herself.If it was the current Liang land, with the laws established by Xu Huan, it would be impossible to mess around easily.If it weren't for these detailed and extensive laws, it would be impossible for Liang Guo to remain in chaos even after losing its monarch for a long time.

But this is the path taken by Liang State, not the path that Sui State can follow.

It should not be a burden to withdraw your mind, if there is no monarch, no one who can gather the fate of the country and the king's spirit, mortals will have no place to compete with the monks.If Liang Guo continues like this, there will be chaos sooner or later. For some reason, Xu Kang, the original eldest son of Liang Guo, is now living in Lu Guo, and asked Lu Hong, the leader of Lu Guo, to help him return to the country and ascend the throne.

If this happens, Liang Guo's predicament will be resolved by itself, but it will inevitably become Lu Guo's vassal in the future.However, Lu and Liang are separated by the Daqing Mountains, and the relationship between the two may not be very close. If you have a plan, it is not difficult to separate.But right now in the midst of catastrophe, there are frequent occurrences of strange things, and the situation of Liang Guo is not good. If Xu Kang, the eldest son who will succeed to the throne, can distinguish the importance, he will maintain a good relationship. The relationship is the same as taking shelter in the court of God.

Now, only the Sui Kingdom is left with nothing to rely on.

If it wasn't for this catastrophe, it wouldn't be a bad thing, but now the catastrophe is getting worse. Even though the catastrophe of mortal beings has passed, the catastrophe of monks has not affected ordinary people much.

Ying's gaze was heavy, and he scraped across the soil mole skin map that had been passed down for more than seven hundred years.Soil mole cannibalism, the ancestors of the Sui Kingdom peeled its skin, folded its horns, and made this map and four paperweights.Now the monstrosity transformed by the monks, devouring the living beings, is like a mole.Why cut off his head?

Her eyes fell on the land of Yin. Before that, Emperor Yin entrusted Bie Chunian to plot against her, using Sui as a spear to attack Lu.Yin is not sympathetic to the people of the Sui Dynasty and cannot be relied upon.

Min Di is attached to Lord Yan and connected to Sui. This god who resides in the world was originally a good choice, but a few days ago, something happened in Min Di, and she was shocked when she got the news. This weird catastrophe , Is even the god of heaven involved in it?

Lord Yan doesn't need another Sui country, and Mindi itself is in trouble, probably because he can't take care of Sui.

The Shenting is a good choice. Many gods in the Shenting need to practice faith.There are many monks in the Sui land, and there are also many weirdos. Although there are many gods in the court, it is difficult to search and deal with the entire Sui country.

However, if Shenting wanted to protect Lu and Liang, it might not be able to spare much energy for Sui.

"Mr. Xue." Yingbu said suddenly, "Mr. has been in harmony with our Sui Kingdom for a long time. Now that a catastrophe is imminent, is Mr. Shi's sect willing to associate with Sui?"

Xue Chengbo, who was sitting cross-legged, opened his eyes.He was not a casual cultivator, he was born in the Zhilei Cave of Qianren Mountain, and he did not sever contact with his master. It was only because of the way he chose that he went to the Sui Kingdom to experience himself.

As the top one on the Yongsheng Pagoda, he is clearly aware of Sui Kingdom's current predicament.This is no longer a problem that King Sui can solve by relying on his own wisdom and hard work. Sui needs an ally who can help him clean up the weirdness.He understands that he should live up to the meaning of his words. If a country helps, it will be good for Qianren Mountain, but unfortunately...

"There are many monks in my sect who have suffered from the five declines of heaven and man, and I am afraid that there will be no power left." Xue Chengbo said.

It should be worthy of a dark sigh, but not too disappointed.This period of catastrophe is aimed at monks, ordinary people are only affected, and it is normal for the immortals to be unable to spare effort.She still has another choice: "According to what Mister sees, can the existence behind Ding Qin be relied upon by Sui?"

They got acquainted in the early years of Bie Chuan's plan to attack Lu in the Sui Dynasty. Afterwards, they should pay attention to thanking the monks who helped in this matter one by one, and tried their best to keep them.

The gods of the Huai River each had their own jurisdiction, and they left one by one after enjoying the offerings from the Sui Kingdom.Although the Bright Lantern Sect is willing to rely on and help each other with Sui, it is a very loose sect in the first place, and it also has other things to do, so the help it can bring is very limited.Yu Jian, the ghost and god who awakened her sanity with the sound of the piano, stayed behind. He was from the Sui region before his death, and he had a kind of incense.

Among these people, the ones who deserve the most attention are Ding Qin and Bai Hong who finally appeared in the Huai River.

Although they didn't participate much in the whole matter, they appeared at the critical time.Should not be responsible or stupid, it is natural to see that this is not a coincidence, but an arrangement that was expected by someone.

Afterwards, strange things appeared frequently in Sui Di, and she asked the two of them for help, and received another big surprise.

It is a process for a monk to transform into a weirdness, as long as he still struggles in his heart, he will not completely turn into a weirdness.But the influence of the decline of Dao heart and the strange power on the mind will cause them to keep sliding into this abyss.However, the divine power possessed by Ding Qin can eliminate the influence of the strange power on the mind.This is undoubtedly good news for many monks who have inevitably suffered from the decline of Taoism due to the five declines of heaven and man.They don't want to choose the path of becoming weird, but in the process of weakening their Taoism, if they make a mistake in their thoughts, they may fall into weirdness, and it will be difficult to struggle out after that.

There were many monks who came to ask for help, but there was only one Ding Qin. Such a situation was the most likely to cause trouble. It should be worth noting that from her eyes, it can be seen that this little girl is really young, not a good-looking girl.A monk does not mean that they are all sensible and reasonable people. A monk with a declining Taoist heart is more difficult to deal with than ordinary people.At the time of life and death, facing such a young girl, it's strange that they don't resort to tricks.

But the result was that these monks were straightened out by her.This is not to rely on the big monster beside her to suppress it by force, but to actually turn these monks into usable people.

The foundation of being able to do this is that she has passed down the way of the gods she serves.This must be the promise of the gods behind it, but even with this method, it is not an easy task to gather this group of monks from all over the world with different temperaments.

Yingbu naturally read the Tao taught by Ding Qin first, and asked A Lu to explain it to her.Her understanding of the god behind Ding Qin also started from this point.

It was a god.

The gods take their Tao as their body, and the Tao does not increase or decrease, it does not arise, it does not die, people believe it or not, practice or not, it has no influence on the Tao.If people follow the Tao, they will be able to reach the guidance of the Tao.

This god made the envoys intervene in the affairs of the Sui Kingdom, as if he had participated in the catastrophe just like Lord Yan.

Could Sui Di rely on him?

"Maybe you can give it a try." Xue Chengbo replied cautiously.

He is a practitioner, and he knows more about this than he should.Before the ridge was re-established and the gods appeared, some monks wanted to visit and ask for advice. However, the gods lived on the top of the mountain, and the new Heaven-reaching Vein was so powerful that it was difficult to climb, so these monks had to give up in the end.Some people have always wanted to explore the origin of this god, but very few people know about it.

Xue Chengbo also relied on many scattered clues and many old legends handed down from the door, so he had some guesses - this god is not well-known, and he probably didn't appear a long time ago.Looking through the annals of history, the most likely node for the disappearance of the gods is a catastrophe 12 years ago.

It's a pity that the inheritance of Qianren Mountain is not long enough, and many ancient secrets are unknown, so Xue Chengbo's guess is just a guess.

He also read the method taught by Ding Qin, so he confirmed that the name of this god is Changyang.

Sui Di wants to attach itself to Changyang, and there is nothing wrong with this choice.Although the gods are lofty and inaccessible, one can see their way from the power of the gods, and find out their meaning from the envoys of the gods.The divine power of this god is warm and bright, but also majestic, and the envoy acts on behalf of the god's will. Judging from Ding Qin, this god undoubtedly has the heart of helping the world.

It's just... having the heart to help the world and being willing to protect the Sui Kingdom are two completely different things.

The success or failure of this matter does not depend on Sui, but on the gods.

Xue Chengbo explained what he knew about this god for Yingbushi, but unfortunately, he didn't know much.

After hearing this, Ying Wushen sighed, "Contact Ding Qin first."

……

Ding Qin is not in the capital of the Sui Dynasty at this time, nor is she with Bai Hong.

As time goes by, they have to deal with more and more things, and they are getting more and more busy. It is inevitable that they will no longer be able to walk together as in the past.

The monks who gathered around Ding Qin for weird things were a mixed bag. There were not many people she could trust, and even fewer people she could agree with. This time, Bai Hong went to deal with the other side, and Ding Qin was accompanied by another demon cultivator. .

After the incident of monks falling into weirdness, these monster cultivators were actually the first to find them. Most of them found them through their connection with Baihong.

Baihong practiced the way of wind. She liked to travel around before, so she had a lot of friends. It was only later that she was delayed by many villages along the Jiuqu River for more than a thousand years, so she met with other friends less and less, but they did not stop. connect.After the occurrence of the five declines of heaven and man and the weird incident, Bai Hong was also worried about these old friends of hers, so he got in touch with them.

Most of these found demon cultivators are free by nature and have no backing or support. Since they have old friendship with Baihong, they stayed here after coming here, and helped a lot in various things afterwards.

Ding Qin came out this time because of a weirdness hidden nearby.

This weirdness is different from the Wu Shan I met before. At the beginning, Wu Shan was hesitant. On the one hand, he was affected by the strange power, and on the other hand, he was in great pain because of the incident with his younger brother Wu Shui. The two mental forces fought and tortured each other, making Wu Shan insane. Unclear, acting out of order, so he was discovered quickly.

Most of the monks in this world who have begun to become weird but have not completely become weird are like this. All kinds of struggles in their hearts are reflected in the appearance of insanity and insanity.And most of those sane and weird ones have clearly chosen this path of abandoning the great road and walking alone in the world.They no longer struggle in their hearts, so naturally they won't act insanely and chaotically.

These grotesque appearances, memory and intelligence are no different from their own before becoming weird, so they can cunningly disguise themselves as normal monks and hide among all living beings.But they generally don't go to places where the earth gods protect them.

This is because of the changes that occurred in the imprint of Shenting some time ago.Just like many gods in the divine court can use the imprint of the divine court to use the method of sorting out life energy that they did not master originally, after the divine court issued the order to exterminate the weirdness this time, the imprint of the divine court has undergone new changes—— The gods in a divine court can distinguish the strangeness, and after distinguishing it, they can use the thunder method in the divine court's imprint to kill it.

This kind of thunder is different from the thunder that monks spread and practice. There is a very high essence in the power of God's thunder, but this thunder can only be used after recognizing the strangeness, avoiding the abuse of gods, and How much power can be borrowed depends on how much the god itself can bear.However, even if it is a god who has just formed a god position and has a low level of cultivation, he can use this kind of thunder to hurt Weird. Even if he fails to kill him, there is no problem in self-protection under normal circumstances.

In addition, depending on the level of practice of both parties, the flames of the Bright Lantern Sect may also reveal its essence. Force to distinguish the strange identity.

Others have a hard time identifying weirdness.But the weirdness couldn't hide from Ding Qin's spiritual eyes.

In the territory of the Sui Dynasty, the number of monks from the Divine Court and the Bright Lantern Sect was always in short supply. Those crazy monks who were clearly going to become weird were handed over to those monks brought out by Ding Qin—not all of them voluntarily. After the problem, what I want to do more is actually to find a way to slow down the five declines of nature and man.To deal with the weirdness was only done actively under the exchange of the vows made when studying the Fa and the benefits given by the Sui Kingdom.

This time, the information Ding Qin got from the Hall of Martial Heroes was very vague. There were only a few locations of tragedies that were suspected to be caused by strange things, and these locations were also scattered. It didn’t look like one person did it. The only thing that could connect them , is the interval between these tragedies—each separated by only one or two days.The weirdness is out of the way, and there is almost no way for ordinary people-finding and divination methods to work on them.

"What are you going to do?" Feng Liuniang asked.

Feng Liuniang is a plump woman, with a bright yellow dress and a black belt, which outlines a slender waist.She is a wild bee demon, she can release many bees to help find abnormal places.

It's just that the weirdness this time is too cautious. The places where the creatures are killed and seized are scattered and irregular. Although there are many bees she raises, they can't cover such a large area.

"Let's look for these places first." Ding Qin outlined the map and pointed out several places.

Feng Liuniang hugged her chest with one hand, and held a jade cigarette stick in the other hand, looked down at several places, raised her eyebrows, and asked, "Why did Xiaonan choose these places?"

She was acquainted with Bai Hong, but she would not let a little girl command her just because of Ding Qin's status as an envoy.

"The interval between this strange crime is about one to two days. Looking at the situation of the murdered monk with the highest cultivation base, we can roughly calculate the strange cultivation base. Knowing the approximate cultivation base of the weird, we can also deduce that when he arrives The distance that can be traveled within two days." Ding Qin took the accident site as the center of the circle, calculated different radii according to the time sequence and interval, and took the largest result, and drew several circles of different sizes on the map.

She was not unhappy with Feng Liuniang's question, she understood what Feng Liuniang thought, and knew that as long as she gave a reasonable reason, Feng Liuniang would definitely help her wholeheartedly.

Looking at the large and small circles on the map, Feng Liuniang couldn't help squinting her eyes.These circles have different intersections, some of which intersect in pairs, and some of which overlap with several circles to form a small area.And these intersections vaguely outline the locations of "nests".This monster does not walk around or have a route like other monsters. He has a fixed lair and may move it occasionally, but the frequency is very low.The previous scattered and disordered situation on the map was only the result of choosing a different direction each time because the distance that this weirdness can travel is very long.

But they got too few clues, so the range of Ding Qin's circle is also very vague. The intersection of several circles may be more than one place of this weird "nest".

The locations that Ding Qin reported just now are arranged in descending order of possibility, and they need to find them one by one.

This is much better than the initial clueless situation.

Feng Liuniang pinched her cheek and praised: "Little Nan has a good brain, so it's much smoother now."

Ding Qin blushed a little after being pinched by her, but she was more worried: "There may still be mistakes."

"It's not flawed, let's talk about these places first." Feng Liuniang held the jade smoke stick in her mouth, and spit out a fragrant mist, every drop of mist is a drop of sweet honey Lu, floating in the air, does not disperse.What was in her pipe was not tobacco, but fragrant and sweet honey that contained aura.

The honey fog showed a beautiful pale gold in the sun, and Feng Liuniang hung a small bell-like honeycomb around Feng Liuniang's waist, as if carved from amber, exquisite and lovely.Many small orb bees flew out of the small beehive, each round and fluffy, with a pair of small black tentacles on their tops, their wings were crystal clear, and they flew soundlessly.They flew into the honey mist, sucked up the sweet honeydew, danced happily to Feng Liuniang a few times, and then flew to the place commanded by her.

……

A search is a long, tedious and draining affair.

Ding Qin and Feng Liuniang stood outside a mountain depression, looking inside with serious expressions.This is the last place marked before.The searches in the first few places were fruitless. Generally speaking, the further back the lower the possibility, this made Ding Qin more and more worried. Could it be that her previous speculation was wrong?Could it be that she missed some clue?If he failed to find this weirdness, how many creatures would he kill later?How terrible will it grow?

The little round bees have been flying out for a long time, and they started to come back one after another.They are very sensitive to all kinds of blood evil and dark aura, and can notice any abnormalities.The monster devouring all living beings has replenished itself, and it is inevitable that the body will be stained with blood evil. In other missions before, there is no monster that cannot be found by them.

After the last little round bee came back, Feng Liuniang shook her head.Nothing wrong was found.

The bees rested on Feng Liuniang, and when there was no place to rest, they stopped on nearby stones and branches.Feng Liuniang took out the honeydew and fed it to the exhausted little ones.

Ding Qin pursed her lips tightly, frowning and thinking about what went wrong.

"Don't be too anxious," Feng Liuniang comforted her, "You have done a good job. The information we got was very vague."

Ding Qin watched in a daze as the bees surrounded Feng Liuniang with trust and attachment, and it took a long time before they flew back to the small hive that was only the size of a thumb belly.This is a magic weapon specially refined by Feng Liuniang, which is full of spiritual energy, and it is also the most comfortable environment for the bees to stay in.They will rest better inside than outside, but every time they come back, even if they are very tired, they will definitely hang around Feng Liuniang for a while before they are willing to go back to the little hive.

"I thought of it!" Ding Qin said suddenly.

For the weirdness that is the enemy of all living beings, it is the safest and reasonable choice to move around and not stay in the same place for too long.

If he stays in an area for a long time, it will be easy to be discovered, unless... there is something there that makes him rather risky than let go, just like the bees are attached to Feng Liuniang.The bees also have not weak attack power, but they will not show evil spirits around Feng Liuniang.

This weirdness will deliberately go to places with different distances and scattered directions to "prey" because he also realizes that this is dangerous, but he insists on staying there. That place must be extremely special to him.

That being the case, he will definitely try his best to avoid leaving a bad breath in his "nest". Before becoming weird, Weird is also a monk who has practiced many Taoism. Maybe one of them can wash away or cover up his own blood. The weirdness of the method.They searched for this weirdness according to the method they used to find the weirdness through the blood and darkness, and they went astray in the first place.

"You shouldn't be looking for the evil spirit of blood, but you should look for places where the aura fluctuates slightly abnormally." Ding Qin's eyes were burning, and she explained her thoughts to Feng Liuniang.

There is also a possibility that a concealment formation is arranged in the weird hiding place, and the aura fluctuation is not obvious, so the bees didn't notice it.But they don't have to re-check them one by one, the bees have a good memory of various fluctuations, just let them recall it.

Feng Liuniang asked the bees, and sure enough there were a few abnormalities.

"Let's go and have a look." Ding Qin said.

Feng Liuniang shook her head: "The previous inspections may have alarmed him, and it may be too late to go to several places one by one. Let's go to the two most likely places separately, and let the bees take a look at the other places."

Feng Liuniang picked out a few of the strongest bees and released them, and they worked hard to run again.

The chubby little round bees kissed Feng Liuniang affectionately for a few times, then flapped their little wings and flew away.

Feng Liuniang left a small round bee on Ding Qin's shoulder, and the two went to different places.

Not long after, Feng Liuniang received Ding Qin's message spell.The weird hiding place is not with her.

"Not here." Feng Liuniang frowned worriedly.

If it wasn't where the two of them went, it might be where other bees were patrolling.

"Let's go to the next place." Ding Qin said decisively, "I'll go to the third place first, and you go to the fourth place."

"No need." Feng Liuniang's face was ugly, "We will meet at the fourth place."

"My bee is dead."

……

Beside the water pool, a slender man in white clothes stood in the withered yellow reeds, holding a lifeless wasp with his fingertips.
