Chapter 509 Thirty Years Ago

On the second day, when it was dawn, the head of Tianyu Village brought a young man to Li Changxiao, and he led the way towards the village where locust plagues were more frequent. It was not until 3:00 noon that he arrived at the destination. .

This village is called Baiqian Village.

After much tossing, Li Changxiao met the head of Baiqian Village as he wished, and explained his intention to the village. The head looked him up and down, and saw that the figure and appearance of this man were extraordinary, and he came because of the locust plague, so he didn't dare to do anything. If he didn't care, he stretched out his hand to invite him to follow him, and introduced him while inspecting the village.

The locust plague is raging, and even Baiqian Village is not immune. Locusts can be seen gathering on the roadside, along the edges of houses, etc. If Li Changxiao can really solve the locust plague, whether it is Tianyu Village or Baiqian Village, or even dozens of miles away, The scattered villages, large and small, are all filled with gratitude.

The village chief led Li Changxiao to a small red and green temple. The temple was three people high and four people wide. It was slightly larger than the small earth temple. There were field windows on both sides. There are many red candles stuck on the floor of the temple. The wax oil drips and solidifies on the ground, forming a red stain. When you step on it, there is an indescribable sticky feeling on the soles of your feet.

This is the Sanchongdi Temple. It is a minor deity granted by imperial edict, but Baiqian Village worships it as a god and does not recognize the god but only Chongdi. The incense flow never ceases. Just like praying every day, sincerity finally changes. Even though the locust plague has not been completely eradicated, after decades, Baiqian Village still exists. The population decreases and increases, always at a constant rate, without change. A complete wasteland.

Entering the temple to worship, Li Changxiao saw the statue for the first time, and secretly thought to himself. Sure enough, on the statue of the three Chongdi gods, he found the statues of the God of the West, the Lord of the East, the Huajiang River, the land of Gushan, and the statues of mountain gods everywhere. A characteristic that all have.

Since entering Dayu, Li Changxiao has always visited temples to see their statues. Most of the statues have this feature. This is no coincidence.

The statue of Sanchongdi looks like a boy with two braids facing the sky, sitting cross-legged on a bluestone platform. There are three insects on his body: locust, leech and toad.

Looking at the appearance alone, this statue is not decent, especially the boy statue, with a slightly wrinkled nose and downward-facing corners of the mouth. After a long look, it looks like a naughty child in anger. Looking closely, his eyes were long and narrow, half-squinted like slits, and the corners of his eyes were curved like snakes, revealing a bit of ruthlessness and cunning.

Li Changxiao looked at her for a few more times, then withdrew his gaze. After visiting San Chongdi, the village chief took Li Changxiao back to the house. He took out a small coarse cloth bag from his arms and opened it. There were scattered tea leaves in it. He made a cup of hot tea and started talking.

Li Changxiao mostly asked about the locust plague. The head of Baiqian Village was already old and could not remember the past clearly. He could still answer a few questions about the past few years. If it was more than ten years ago, it would be decades ago. The memories of old events are mostly blurry.

Fortunately, because locusts have been plagued all year round, every locust outbreak will be recorded in the village register. The village chief found the village register and told Li Changxiao that if he wanted to know something, just look in this register.

This village book remembers more than he does, and it is also clearer. Li Changxiao flipped through the village book, his pupils narrowed.

The locust plague first appeared thirty years ago, and it appeared suddenly. Thirty years ago, there was no record of a locust plague in Baiqian Village.

The head of Baiji Village is in his forties this year. Combined with his answers, it is confirmed that there was no locust disaster thirty years ago. Even Li Changxiao couldn't help but look solemn.

Thirty years...

This is a very important node. Now it has been more than 500 years of seeking change. Thirty years ago, it was more than 470 years of seeking change. During those years, the world was not at peace.

The Green Domain...the giant race was wiped out, which happened to be that year.

Li Changxiao was in a daze for a moment, and then calmed down. The incident about the giants in the green domain and the incident about the locust plague in Baiqian Village were similar in time, but their locations were very far apart.

Maybe they just bumped into each other by chance. Li Changxiao continued to flip through the village register. In the past thirty years, there was a small locust plague every five years and a major locust plague every ten years. It seems to have become a certain pattern. Baiqian Village invited Sanchongdi back to the village thirteen years ago. Since inviting Sanchongdi back to the village, the locust plague has been reduced by one or two, but the trouble is still there.

Seeing this, Li Changxiao was almost certain that the locust plague was man-made. He closed the village register and said goodbye to the village chief. Rushing towards Na Tian Yu Village, intending to take a closer look at the locust plague. Just after leaving the village for more than four or five miles, I saw the locusts covering the sky and the sun, and seemed to be flying towards Tianyu Village.

Li Changxiao shook his head and laughed. Before he could look for it, the culprit had revealed himself. His spiritual energy flowed into his ears, and he could vaguely hear the sound of a piano or two.

If he guessed correctly, this method of using sound to repel insects was once a method used by Qinfeng Tower. He had seen one or two of the disciples of Qinfeng Tower, but he had never fought with them. I never thought that the first time I would experience it personally would be after the spiritual energy was exhausted.

His eyes turned azure, looking towards the direction of the music, capturing the overflowing dream, and immediately saw a hint of obscure evil thoughts. He knew clearly in his heart that the writing here was indeed from the Extremely Evil Sect.

But he is not a senior member of the Extremely Evil Sect.

Those who harbor pure malice and evil thoughts, and who can be seen through by Li Changxiao at a glance, are mostly low-level people.

Seeing this, Li Changxiao frowned and saw the Extremely Evil Sect again. He remembered that the events in the Green Realm were also done by the Extremely Evil Sect, and the locust plague here also came from the Extremely Evil Sect. And after the giants were wiped out, the locust plague happened to be raging here.

This way.

There seems to be a subtle connection between the two. Li Changxiao's figure was erratic, chasing after the mastermind behind the scenes. In a dark cave, he saw a woman sitting cross-legged on a stone, lightly plucking the strings of the piano with both hands.

The corners of her mouth were raised in a sneer. How dare mortals dare to resist? She wanted to teach them a lesson and make them suffer. Her fingers were slender, and musical notes flew out from her bare hands. The rhyme is not beautiful, but it has a touch of magic that can control the locust swarms. Even mortals with a weak mind will be in a trance after hearing this sound.

But the coherent and smooth phonology suddenly broke off at a certain moment.

She frowned and lowered her head, feeling that her hands were not being used. She felt strange in her heart, and felt a stinging pain in her wrist. The stinging pain became more and more obvious, until finally, a line of blood appeared.

The next moment.

Those plain hands landed on the xylophone with a clatter, and the blood that poured out dyed the strings red, and the sticky blood dripped down the strings.

Her pupils shrank suddenly, and when she came to her senses, she felt a cold feeling on her neck. She was held against a long sword. She was so frightened that her soul trembled. She didn't dare to turn or move easily. Her eyes turned left and right, and there was no one in front of her. , there is no one left or right.

The man holding the sword was like a ghost, out of her sight and never within her perception.

Silent, traceless.

Li Changxiao's eyes were cold, his palms pressed on the woman's head, and the dream-absorbing technique was instantly launched.

I hope I can get one or two useful clues.

What exactly does the Extremely Evil Sect seek? Perhaps for these extremely evil people, they are just doing evil and having fun.

However, this pure "evil" can also achieve certain goals if it is used by people with intentions.

In the early days of the reform, those extremely evil people were like gutter rats. Now in the middle of the reform, it can no longer be ignored. If we look into it deeply... its plans will definitely be shocking!

It's a pity that the Extremely Evil Sect's actions are too scattered, and the purpose behind them is hidden in the messy lines.
