The entrance to the military camp.

"Inspector Jiang, I will gather my troops and head to Shishan County!"

"Then I'll have to trouble Captain Feng!" Jiang Ning bowed.

Afterwards, the two said goodbye to each other, and Jiang Ning walked towards Dongling City.

Feng Xiaochen looked at Jiang Ning's back for a long time.

"What a pity!" He thought of his daughter and felt sorry.

Then he shook his head and walked towards the military camp.

Jiang Ning just gave him a task.

That is to lead the 500 soldiers under his command and march to Shishan County.

the other side.

After Jiang Ning left the military camp outside the city, he returned home.

"Aning, be careful when you go out!" Liu Wanwan stood beside Jiang Li and couldn't help but remind him.

Jiang Ning smiled and said, "Don't worry, sister-in-law! I won't fight a battle I'm not sure of winning!"

"I am relieved, but I am afraid that your elder brother will not be relieved!" Liu Wanwan smiled gently.

Hearing this, Jiang Li laughed heartily and said, "Why should I worry about Aning's affairs? He is now a scholar!"

When Jiang Li mentioned the four words "Juren Master", his face flushed with an expression of pride.

Seeing this, Jiang Ning couldn't help but smile.

He understood how much ordinary people valued fame and status.

For someone like him, not to mention his official position, his strength alone means countless times more than that of a juren.

But this kind of impact is difficult for ordinary people to feel and understand.

But the Juren master is different.

Even the common people understand the meaning of these four words.

That is the real superior person.

Jiang Li had been a constable for nearly half his life, and was a real official. It was obvious that he attached more importance to fame and fortune.

"Uncle, can you bring back a gift for Doubao when you go out this time?" At this time, little Doubao pulled Jiang Ning's trouser leg and looked at Jiang Ning with longing.

"Not this time!" Jiang Ning shook his head: "This time we have to go out to do serious business!"

"Okay then!" Little Doubao pouted and lowered his head.

Jiang Ning couldn't help but smile when he saw this scene.

He then ruffled Xiaodoubao's loose hair and said, "But if Xiaodoubao stays at home and behaves well, I will bring you something delicious when I come back!"

"Really?" Xiao Doubao immediately looked up at Jiang Ning, his eyes became sparkling, as if they contained stars.

"How could this be false?" Jiang Ning asked.

"Hehe!!!" Little Doubao immediately bit his index finger and laughed.

Afterwards, Jiang Ning left the yard and returned to his own yard.

At the lakeside, he called Linglong out.

"Master!" A delicate, ethereal and crisp voice rang in Jiang Ning's mind, and her figure also surfaced.

"You have to take good care of the house while I'm away!" Jiang Ning said.

"Don't worry, Master! I'm here. As long as it's not a master, I guarantee that your family won't be harmed in the slightest!" Linglong's confident voice sounded in Jiang Ning's mind.

"Do this well, and I will help you improve your Taoism when I come back!" Jiang Ning spoke again.

"Yes, Master!" Linglong's voice was full of joy.

Then, Jiang Ning called Lao Bie over again.

The same pie was painted for the old turtle.

With these two house-guarding monsters guarding the house, he felt relieved.

the other side.

In a fairyland.

Cranes are calling, ancient trees are towering, and waterfalls are falling in the clouds, like the Milky Way in the sky.

The spiritual mist in the mountains surges, sometimes like surging waves.

"Brother!"

"Brother!"

"Brother!"

On the thousand-foot stone steps, the young man with a huge sword on his back walked up quickly with a pale face. The disciples he met along the way all greeted him and then looked at his receding back.

"Senior Brother Qi is not in a good state!"

"I can see that too. The lack of energy and blood, and the weak steps are clearly the sequelae of burning the blood essence and performing the blood escape technique."

"."

The young man carrying the huge sword on his back vaguely heard the conversation behind him, but his expression remained unchanged.

After a while.

He came to a pavilion.

Behind him is a flower garden with thousands of flowers of various colors competing for beauty, and under his feet is a surging sea of ​​clouds.

"Big Brother!" He said respectfully to the silver-haired young man in front of him.

"Did you know that there has been a heavy rain in Dongling County in the past two days?" The silver-haired young man turned around, with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, and an extraordinary temperament.

"I know!" The young man carrying the giant sword nodded.

"Junior Brother Qi, what is going on?" asked the silver-haired young man.

Upon hearing this, the young man carrying the giant sword told his senior brother in Qingyuan Cave Heaven what he knew.

After a while.

"Nujiang Dragon God?" The silver-haired young man showed surprise in his eyes.

"Yes!" Qi Xin, who was carrying the giant sword, nodded, and continued: "I saw it with my own eyes. I saw it moving the clouds and raining heavily. The injuries on my body were mainly caused by my rashness in entering the thunderclouds and being pierced through by lightning."

"You are so reckless. How dare you underestimate the power of heaven? You rashly rush into the thundercloud! Fortunately, you have reached the third level in martial arts, otherwise that thunder would have taken your life!" said the silver-haired young man.

"What you said is right, senior brother!" Qi Xin, who was carrying a huge sword on his back, nodded.

Then, he asked, "Big Brother, how should we treat the Nujiang Dragon God?"

"If, as you said, the two heavy rains in Dongling County were caused by the Nujiang Dragon God, then keep them!" At this point, the silver-haired young man smiled faintly: "The people prayed to the gods and worshipped evil gods. This is one of the sources of unrest. And the Nujiang Dragon God only controls the waters of the Nujiang River. What's wrong with letting him send a few more heavy rains?"

“It has no impact on the severe drought that has hit several states.”

Shishan County.

Located in Dongling County, it is one of the county towns under the jurisdiction of Dongling County.

The walls of the entire county are made of huge rocks on Shishan Mountain, so it is named Shishan County.

When Jiang Ning arrived in Shishan County, it was already afternoon.

On the way, he took the time to complete a routine breathing exercise, which brought his inner alchemy health-preserving exercises one step closer to a breakthrough.

[Skills]: Inner Dan Health Preservation Exercise (Perfect 9489/10000)
At this time, he was only away from a breakthrough with more than 500 experience points, which made Jiang Ning even more excited.

The afternoon sun was unusually hot.

Walking in Shishan County, Jiangning also experienced the different scenery for the first time.

Most of the houses on both sides of the street are built with stones. The architectural style is completely different from that of Luoshui County and appears extremely rough.

At the same time, Jiangning could also clearly feel that Shishan County's economy was far inferior to Luoshui County.

If divided by rich and poor, the living standard in Luoshui County is upper-middle.

Because Luoshui County has Luoshui River and Beimang Mountain.

As the saying goes, you can rely on mountains to eat mountains, and you can rely on water to eat water.

Luoshui County is backed by mountains and also has no shortage of water for irrigation because of the existence of the Luo River.

But Shishan County is different.

Outside the city, he couldn't see much greenery around Shishan County.

As for the towering stone mountain that can be seen from the city, it is also bare, with basically nothing but stones on the mountain.

As for water, Shishan County is even more scarce.

The combination of these two factors led to Shishan County falling into poverty.

The successive droughts have had a more serious impact on this impoverished county.

Walking on the street, Jiang Ning could hardly see any pedestrians, and from time to time, figures could be seen huddled in the corners of the houses on both sides.

His breath was weak and his body was thin.

"The situation in Shishan County is not good!"

After observing for a moment, Jiang Ning shook his head secretly.

Then he looked towards the end of the long street ahead.

The crowd formed a long queue, but it was orderly.

He took a quick look with his mind, observed for a while, and understood it in his mind.

"Distribute talisman water to satisfy hunger?"

"No wonder those people in the corner just now were so skinny!"

He muttered in his heart and understood immediately. He had seen the talisman water of Huang Tian Sect before.

Although it can satisfy hunger, it makes people feel full.

But energy does not come out of thin air.

To maintain the vital characteristics of the human body, energy must be consumed continuously.

The talisman water can only satisfy hunger, but it provides very little energy.

At most you can only save people's lives.

"It seems that the continuous drought has a greater impact on Shishan County!" He retracted his gaze.

Just about to try to find Bai Luoyu's whereabouts.

But he was attracted by the smell of meat wafting in the air.

Meaty aroma?

He was a little surprised.

And it has such a rich meaty flavor!

After entering the city, he witnessed the desolation of Shishan County along the way.

Due to the severity of the famine, livestock and poultry have probably eaten almost all they can eat.

The next moment, his figure flashed and disappeared from the spot in an instant.

……

In the ruined temple.

A group of people sat around a big pot.

The hot water in the pot was boiling, and the aroma of meat filled the air, attracting the group of people to stare at the pot in front of them.

But even so, they did not dare to act rashly.

"Manager Liu, are you ready?" someone asked after swallowing.

“Don’t be impatient!” The old man standing in front of the cauldron and stirring constantly shook his head: “This is the meat ganoderma distributed by the God Worshiping Cult. You all know the consequences if you don’t cook it longer!”

"I understand! I understand!" The man who just spoke nodded repeatedly.

His eyes were still fixed on the pot in front of him.

Just then, Jiang Ning also walked into the dilapidated temple.

He had just heard these remarks outside the temple.

Meat Ganoderma?

A thought flashed through his mind, and a layer of fire instantly appeared in his eyes as he looked into the pot.

The sight was also obscured by the flames.

At this moment, he suddenly saw wisps of black air lingering in the pot.

The black aura was also slowly dissipating as the boiling water surged.

"It is indeed the breath of the evil god!" he murmured.

The smell of boiling water in the pot was also very familiar to him at this moment.

He had felt a lot of this before in Luoshui County.

at this time.

The word "evil god" came out of his mouth, immediately causing several people surrounding the pot in front of him to convulse.

"Who?" Someone immediately turned around and looked behind him.

The word evil god.

They are very secretive about it these days.

They have seen soldiers slaughtering people in the street who dared to eat the meat ganoderma distributed by the God Worshipping Sect.

Eating meat ganoderma is a capital crime in the eyes of officers and soldiers.

The name called by the officers and soldiers was the evil god.

As they turned their heads, they saw Jiang Ning who had already arrived.

"Who are you?" The old man who was stirring the meat ganoderma in the pot stopped what he was doing and stared at Jiang Ning.

He saw the flames burning in Jiang Ning's eyes and a pair of faint golden pupils, and his heart was suddenly filled with fear.

The people surrounding the pot now quietly stepped aside to give Jiang Ning and the manager Liu as they called him enough space.

At the same time, two people silently retreated towards the entrance of the ruined temple, with faint green light flashing in their eyes.

All these things were clearly observed by Jiang Ning.

"The meat ganoderma you are talking about can kill people if eaten!" Jiang Ning said.

"Of course I know!" Shopkeeper Liu suddenly became very excited: "If you eat this, you will be killed if you are seen by the soldiers! You might die!"

"But if we don't eat, we will starve to death soon!"

"The government has been silent for many days!"

"We have no choice but to do this in order to survive!!"

Shopkeeper Liu looked at Jiang Ning and became more and more excited as he spoke.

He used his excited appearance to hide his extremely nervous heart.

Hearing this, Jiang Ning shook his head.

"I'm here. You won't starve to death in your current state!"

"If you dare to eat this, you will die!"

After he finished speaking, Jiang Ning looked towards the big pot in front of him.

Then he stretched out his right hand.

ka ka ka-

Two chains suddenly extended from his sleeves.

One chain was red, like a burning flame.

One chain is black, like a deep abyss.

Seeing the two chains extending forward, everyone stepped back to avoid them.

The old man who had just stirred the cauldron couldn't help but take three steps back.

next moment.

He saw two chains extending to the cauldron.

Then roll it towards the big pot.

The moment the two chains intersected, the entire cauldron, the boiling water, and the meat ganoderma in the cauldron collapsed in an instant and turned into countless dust.

Seeing this scene, the old man who had just been stirring the pot was even more shocked and stepped back again.

How could he not understand that the man in front of them was not someone they had the right to mess with?

Behind him, on both sides of the dilapidated temple entrance, the two men looked at Jiang Ning's back, with fear flashing in their eyes.

at this time.

Jiang Ning turned around and looked at them: "You have eaten your own kind before, right?"

"What?" The two men were stunned, and then they saw a flash of golden light, and their bodies were suddenly filled with a burning pain.

They looked down and saw that they were on fire.

"No! No!! We were wrong!!!" The two of them cried out in horror.

But what greeted them was Jiang Ning's cold gaze.

In just a few breaths, the two were reduced to ashes.

Jiang Ning then turned around and glanced at the rest of the people in the ruined temple.

Everyone couldn't help but tremble in their hearts.

Then Jiang Ning was seen walking out of the ruined temple.

It was not until there was complete silence outside and a long time had passed that someone spoke.

"Who is this person?" The man wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"I don't know!" Someone shook his head.

"Manager Liu, you don't know either?" the man asked the old man who had just stirred the pot.

Shopkeeper Liu also shook his head slowly: "I have never seen this person before, and I don't have any impression of him! If I had seen him, there would be no way I would not have any impression of him at all!"

"But one thing is certain!" Shopkeeper Liu added, "This person must be an important figure!"

"With him coming to Baishan County, I wonder if he will give us a chance to survive!"

After hearing this, someone said, "Based on what he just said, it should be possible, right?"

"I hope so!" Shopkeeper Liu sighed.

Then he rubbed his stomach vigorously.

He could feel his belly getting dry and his chest was pressed against his back.

Especially the smell of meat that just wafted in the air made him salivate, causing him to feel even hungrier now.

My abdomen feels like it's burning now.

These days... I don't know when they will end!!
