Huo Caiyu's eyes were slightly downcast, and the tip of the sheep's pen in his hand lightly ticked a leaf character on the paper.Chi Zhongming, Prime Minister Ye, black cat.He, Your Majesty.Since the black cat is a goblin, it is not uncommon for Chi Zhongming to transform into a human form because he was extremely resentful of him for killing Ye Cheng, but when he saw the black cat brought back by His Majesty, he turned his anger into joy.Ye Guixiang is a black cat?
Huo Caiyu paused for a moment, and a picture suddenly flashed in his mind.That day, he and His Majesty finally confirmed their relationship, and happily returned with breakfast, only to find that His Majesty was missing.On the soft dragon bed, there is an extra rice ball.Tang Yuan Huo Caiyu squinted again, stood up and walked to the cage of Tang Yuan to observe carefully.Because he was looking for His Majesty, he defaulted to the hamster that day without looking carefully, but now it seems that the coat color of that one is a little different from that tangyuan?
Chapter 72 Squeak ~ Li Jinyu and the black cat didn't know that the two high-ranking men in the capital had chased after them and were moving towards the northeast source mountain.After passing through the water-rich area of Qingshui County, and further northeast, rivers and lakes gradually became scarce.Their carriage traveled all the way without feeling a drop of rain in between.The further you go, the more obvious the drying up of the land becomes, and the lower the water level of the rivers on both sides of the road.They even had a hard time finding a place for the horses to drink.Li Jinyu had to sneak to the nearby fields to check on the cultivation of the people when he stopped to rest several times.In such a severe drought, the wheat seedlings in the farmland are all wilted.Farmers have to walk long distances to fetch water from the riverbanks where there is still water, or they ask experienced elders to determine where there is water under the ground and dig wells to draw water.So barely able to maintain the growth of crops.Li Jinyu's face was heavy, and he was worried every day.The black cat lay in the carriage, listlessly watching Li Jinyu crawling around impatiently, and said weakly: "Save it, what can you help now?"
Li Jinyu stopped and suddenly stared at the black cat: Will you pray for rain?
I've heard that powerful monsters can call the wind and rain, right?
The black cat rolled his eyes: Although I know how to cast spells, I can't use it now that I have rebuilt such a little spiritual power, it is useful.Li Jinyu suddenly lowered his ears in disappointment.After a while, he suddenly perked up again: Can you find the groundwater?
In fact, there are not many people who have the experience to judge the location of groundwater, and many villages can only dig wells blindly.The black cat looked at him in surprise: What are you and me?
It's just an ordinary cat demon, and it's not a geological instrument!
Li Jinyu scratched his head with his hind feet, a little irritable: But doing nothing like this is really grinding.When he was exiled to the village in Qingshui County, he was able to help the villagers over there get rid of the tax collectors who were rampant.Now in the face of a great drought in the world, there is nothing we can do.We are just ordinary little goblins, can we still fight against heaven and earth?
You didn't think so when you wanted to kill Huo Caiyu and usurp the fortunes of the Di Dynasty.Can this be the same.The black cat rolled his eyes, if this drought could manifest itself on someone, I would definitely kill him with you.Li Jinyu wanted to say more, and then he heard the black cat say impatiently, The only thing we can do now is to rush to Yuanshan as soon as possible, replenish your spiritual power, and then go back to the capital, how long will it take for you to stop and go on this road.Intellectually knowing that what the black cat said was right, Li Jinyu scratched his ears again and gritted his teeth: Then let's go quickly.However, less than two days after leaving, Li Jinyu suddenly shouted: Wait.What's wrong with it?
Just now I suddenly felt a feeling of panic.The little hamster clutched his chest, stared out the window, and muttered, "What's coming?"
As if to confirm Li Jinyu's words, the ears of the two demons suddenly heard a thin sound of breaking the air.It is as if a large group of species are flying slowly from far and near.Li Jinyu and the black cat glanced at each other, their pupils contracted instantly, and at the same time they thought of that possibility.Locust swarm!
They couldn't wait to get out of the carriage and stare at the horizon.I saw a faint black spot on the distant skyline; In the blink of an eye, the black dots grew much larger; Wait a few more moments, and a swarm of locusts will sweep in!
Locusts!
Li Jinyu wanted to retract the carriage at first, but immediately it stood up again.There was a lot of farmland on the side of the road where they came, and if this swarm of locusts were allowed to pass, there would be no grass left!
Li Jinyu's mind turned sharply, he mustered up his courage, and the spiritual power he had accumulated recently condensed, and he rushed into the locust swarm.The ferocious countenance and hideous mouthparts of the locusts made him pale with fright.Even if the locusts are only vegetarian, they are comparable to the most terrible nightmare.But now is not the time to be afraid.Li Jinyu's spiritual power was agitated, and sparks swept out in mid-air, burning the flying locusts with a clicking sound.The smell of burning proteins filled the air.Seeing that Li Jinyu rushed over directly, the black cat cursed secretly in his mouth, and also jumped up to intercept this group of locusts that appeared inexplicably.The two goblins used almost all their spiritual power to barely wipe out this locust.There were charred locust corpses everywhere, and Li Jinyu and the black cat were lying on the roof of the carriage, panting and motionless, not even a trace of spiritual power left.As a result, we don't even have the ability to go to the village and buy food in human form.The black cat rolled over weakly, let its belly face the sky, and hummed, can you not be so wavey.The locusts are dead, aren't they?
Li Jinyu tried his best to look up and look around, somewhat relieved, at least he didn't have to worry about the locust plague.You're thinking pretty beautifully.The black cat hit him mercilessly, how many locusts are there?
According to the records in the county annals, the real locust plague is all over the world, and even ten years ago I couldn't do anything.Li Jinyu was stunned: But why are there so few this time?
Maybe the locusts are just starting to develop?
The black cat guessed, and then frowned, and this locust didn't look like the picture I saw in the county annals.Speaking of this, Li Jinyu suddenly couldn't take a break, and said to the horses standing in front of the carriage honestly: Go forward!
When the horses had gone some way, he suddenly called a halt and jumped out of the carriage.The black cat was stunned for a moment and raised his head: What's wrong?
I feel like there's something over there.Li Jinyu's ears were erected vigilantly, he looked over there intently, and said cautiously, I'll go over and take a look.Following his inner instincts, Li Jinyu made a detour forward for a while, and finally stopped in an open space.The soil of the clearing was an unusually dark red, and there was no grass around it, except for a few roots that clearly showed signs of gnawing.The most obvious is that there is a dead man lying in the middle of the clearing.This person was wearing Central Plains-style clothes, but his face did not look like that of Central Plains blood, lying on his back, his limbs spread out, and a large area of blood on his abdomen showed dazzling marks.Li Jinyu looked at the corpse in a daze.There was a strong ominous evil intent emanating from this corpse, and this was the source of the heart-pounding sensation he felt from afar just now.Looking at this person's face, it seems that he is a cunning countryman.He tentatively approached, and watched the cunning man with fear and disgust, and found that his abdomen was bleeding and full of holes, as if he had been repeatedly pierced into a honeycomb by some sharp weapon, and as if many worms had once come out of his abdomen.Li Jinyu's heart suddenly felt cold.He suddenly thought of the locusts that had appeared inexplicably just now.Do those locusts have anything to do with the corpse of this cunning country?
Li Jinyu returned to the carriage with doubts and briefly described the situation he saw with the black cat.The black cat frowned deeply: I don't know what's going on, do you still have that corpse?
That person made me feel an evil aura, and I was afraid that there would be some danger, so I set it on fire.Li Jinyu said honestly, does the locust have anything to do with that person?
The black cat shook its head: From my point of view, those locusts are the same as ordinary insects, there is nothing abnormal, but the color is strange.But I think they are very wicked, and they make me very sick.Li Jinyu scratched his ears, why do we feel different?
The black cat looked at the hamster in front of him, was silent for a moment, and guessed: Maybe it has something to do with you being the Emperor of Ogi.Yes?
You are closely related to the national fortune of the Di Dynasty, if those locusts are indeed the ghosts of the cunning people, maybe there will be an effect of interfering with the national fortune of the Di Dynasty, and the projection on you is resistance and rejection.Li Jinyu didn't expect it to really matter: is there any way?
There is a way that can't be used now, what can you do now?
The black cat hit him, not to mention that the national fortune is very empty, and I only know a fur.You just have to wait for the army of the Ogi Dynasty to break through the palace of the cunning king.The current locust plague can't wait that long.Li Jinyu gritted his teeth, if these locust plagues were caused by the cunning people, then the general prevention and control methods may not be effective, so we hurriedly went to Yuanshan to accumulate spiritual power.The sudden appearance of the cunning corpse gave Li Jinyu a strong sense of crisis, and immediately urged the black cat to set off as soon as possible.Then they went on a non-stop journey every day.If it weren't for the worry that the horse pulling the cart couldn't stand it, Li Jinyu even wanted to work around the clock.On the way, they encountered several more swarms of locusts, but they were not large.But for the first time, the two goblins were unable to completely kill these locusts, so they could only watch them fly in the direction of the fertile fields.Although the number of these locusts is not large now, the terrible thing about locust plagues is that they can quickly gather a large number of their own kind to form a dark cloud of locusts that covers the sky and the sun.Li Jinyu's heart hurt so much that he could barely sleep.Every time they encountered a locust plague, they could find the corpse of a cunning countryman in the surrounding search, which further confirmed Li Jinyu's speculation.These locusts really have something to do with the cunning country.They could only burn those strange corpses with a single fire, and then rushed to the source mountain.As we drove down, the surrounding fields gradually decreased, and the terrain began to be uneven, turning from plains to mountains.They came to the border northeast of Ogi.Far away, Li Jinyu saw Yuanshan from afar.It's just that Wangshan ran a dead horse, and they drove for a few more days before finally stopping at the foot of Yuanshan.Yuanshan was the place of worship in the former dynasty, and was basically abandoned in the Ogi Dynasty, so that it was overgrown with weeds, and the bluestone brick road that was bright in the past has now been weathered and corroded.Walking on the barren official road, the trees on both sides are lush and green, and the birds flying in the mountains are soaring.Li Jinyu and the black cat got out of the carriage and looked up at the towering mountains on the northeastern border of the Ogi Dynasty.They saw more nature than ordinary people, and they could see the faint divine light that lingered around the pitch-black tower on the highest mountain.There is not much luck left in the previous dynasty, the black cat estimated, shook his head, and went quickly.The carriage could not go up the mountain road, which had already damaged half of Thailand, so they had to climb up by themselves.Genzan is the highest mountain in the territory of the Ogi Dynasty, and it has been left unattended for many years, and the road in the mountains is even more difficult.No matter how fast Li Jinyu was a little hamster, his legs were too short, and he quickly stopped: This is not good, it is too slow.The black cat said without hesitation: I won't carry you.You are not much faster than me, and you can't fly Speaking of this, Li Jinyu's eyes lit up, and his eyes were on the few chickadees parked in the trees over there.The Sacrifice Pagoda was built with the best materials, the best craftsmen, and the longest patience of the previous dynasty, and it is expected that the tower will continue to rise like a dynasty after thousands of generations.Now that the power of the Ogi Dynasty has been stable in the Central Plains for a hundred years, the name of the previous dynasty has dissipated like the wind, leaving only this Tentensha Tower standing silently here.At the top of the tower is an open-air altar, the mountain wind is howling, and you can feel a strong chill even at noon, and the tiles are covered with layers of frost.From a distance, there are only a few wooden tables on the wide altar that have not yet been fully weathered, and a huge square tripod.Because it is too high, the birds will not fly to such a high position on weekdays, and there is no food on it, so why waste physical strength?
It's just that today there are two birds that have to flutter their wings and fly upwards desperately, just to send the two plague gods behind them.Li Jinyu fell from the back of the and lay on the cold ground, unable to help but shiver.It's cold.He turned his head and just wanted to thank the that sent him up, but when he saw that the other party flapped his wings without hesitation and fled, he didn't give him a look.Li Jinyu: The black cat weighs a lot, and although the carrying it are stronger than the previous one, the speed is much slower.Li Jinyu rubbed his paws and paws while approaching the black cat: Cold to death, how to absorb luck?
The black cat sighed and shuddered: You go to the middle of the altar first, and in the middle of the altar is a huge bronze square tripod, and there is a lid on the tripod.Li Jinyu leaned over and touched Fang Ding curiously.Bang!
Suddenly, a huge roar of gold and iron sounded at the top of the tower, startling the two goblins.I saw that the lid of the altar, which was originally covered with a layer of frost, suddenly rolled to the ground, knocking out white marks on the ground.Then a lazy voice sounded: Where did the little goblin come from, disturbing the old way to take a nap?
Li Jinyu and the black cat stared wide-eyed as they looked at a sloppy Taoist who sat up from Dingzhong.The Taoist robe on that man's body was tattered, and it looked like it was about to shatter at any moment; Although he claimed to be an old man, his face was unexpectedly young, he looked only fifteen or sixteen years old, and he was more tender than the human form of a black cat.He still yawned, rubbed his eyes, his gaze swept over the black cat, and then fell on Li Jinyu, frowning slightly: You little demon, how can you have Ziwei Emperor Qi?
As soon as Li Jinyu wanted to speak, he saw the Taoist wave his hand: You don't have to speak, I will calculate it myself.He counted with his left hand, then changed to his right hand, and then muttered, no, it seems that you are all aliens, and the trajectory of fate should not exist, why do you have the emperor's life?
In fact, did you take away the current emperor and steal his national fortunes?
The Taoist man's expression suddenly became serious, and he shouted loudly, dare to steal my national fortune and eat my old trick!
Li Jinyu was startled, and just wanted to hide, he saw that the Taoist's movements paused, scratched his head and looked at the sky, hey, the Bi Dynasty is dead?
What year is it?
