No matter how difficult it is, you have to do it!

It wasn't that Lin Xingzhi loved the Liguo Dynasty so much, or that he wanted to devote himself to it until his death. It was simply that the situation had come to a head, and he had no choice but to charge forward.

At least after breaking out, you can still see hope ahead. If you stay where you are, there is only one way out, and that is death.

Shen Yao leaned in Lin Xingzhi's arms without saying a word. The situation in Danxia City was not an isolated case. For cities far away from the capital, no one knew what the internal situation was like. Even compared with these places, the situation in Danxia City was a blessing in disguise. It did not continue to go wrong step by step. Stopping the loss in time was the greatest comfort to the court.

Maybe it was because he had been holding back some of his thoughts for too long, and once Lin Xingzhi started talking, he couldn't stop.

Shen Yao understood Lin Xingzhi's feelings. She raised her hand and patted his chest, reassuring him that the matter had been successfully resolved. As for other possible troubles, "As the saying goes, there is always a way out. I believe Xingzhi will be able to come up with a better solution."

Lin Xingzhi couldn't help but lower his eyes and laugh out loud. Well, his wife never spoils the fun.

"Yes, the emperor and the court are not just for show." If there is any problem, just write a letter to report to the higher-ups. After all, he is just a tool to execute orders.

Just like the incident in Danxia City this time, on the surface, it was him and Taoist Changsheng who were busy with various things, but in fact, Taoist Changsheng had already reported everything to the court. Relying on the fast communication through special channels, the handling method of Danxia City was inevitably tacitly approved by the court.

"After we finish the Danxia City incident, we will head north, passing through Shuofang, Shi'an, Chengxing, Changshan and other places, and finally arrive at the northernmost Qixing City."

The several cities mentioned by Lin Xingzhi were all medium to large cities comparable to Danxia City. In the process, they would pass through countless unknown small towns, all of which were ignored.

Shen Yao thought that it was a nice trip. Not only could she see many sights she had never seen before, but she could also have a deeper understanding of the world.

Well

If the next time-travel mission takes place in modern society, she seems to be able to try to create the world she has experienced in the form of a novel.

If you think about it, she has never been a full-time novelist. She only makes occasional guest appearances in certain mission worlds, and her career focus is on other aspects.

A new day, a new beginning.

After getting up, Lin Xingzhi continued to work diligently as his tool. Taoist Changsheng had already searched Danxia City inside and out again and again without anyone knowing, until he was absolutely sure that there would be no omissions. Only then did the group leave in a car amid the cheers of the people of Danxia City.

"Alas, this old Taoist isn't very skilled. There are still some who have slipped through the net in Danxia City."

At least after the system scan, there are already several vulnerabilities. I can't say that they are 100% problems, but the probability is definitely half.

With such a high error rate, how could the old Taoist priest be so sure? He must be cheating.

Shen Yao defended Taoist Changsheng without changing her expression, "Taoist Changsheng is a human being, different from you." The system's verification is too objective, which is very suitable for the current situation.

After all, some people can lie to the Taoist priest Changsheng, but their inner fluctuations cannot deceive the all-round and no-blind-angle surveillance system. After all, human power is limited.

What's more, human hearts are the most unpredictable things. Even if the system is so confident today, who knows if there will be new changes tomorrow? The old Wuxia Temple no longer exists, but a new Wuxia Temple can still emerge.

At its root, it is human nature.

We can't just kill everyone once and for all; that would be unrealistic.

The carriage under her slowly moved forward. Shen Yao leaned against the soft pillow behind her and closed her eyes to rest, letting the system in her mind chatter non-stop.

The system only shut up reluctantly until the carriage had already left Danxia City behind. Alas, before arriving at a new city, it once again lost its source of gossip.

Shen Yao:......

"The road to the north is filled with mountains and dense forests, and there are countless demons that have transformed into spirits."

Since you like listening to gossip so much, why not try listening to another species?

System: ...Yes

Shen Yao's words made the somewhat dormant system active again. After saying goodbye to the host, the system plunged into the surrounding deep mountains and dense forests, searching everywhere for transformed fairies to listen to gossip.

What's more, it actually discovered a nest of birds, chirping and speaking ill of the goblins on the entire mountain.

There's a fox demon who's everywhere trying to be the boss, a tiger demon who's not very smart but is very powerful, and the other demons are afraid of it and have to bow down to it, and there's a wolf demon who's united with a wolf demon from another place who's giving him advice and plotting, and he's vaguely trying to replace the tiger demon...

System: ...Wow~

Isn’t gossip interesting? The system has found the joy of life again. While Shen Yao and others were on their way, it went out every day, listened to a lot of gossip, and came back to chat with the host.

Shen Yao traveled during the day to accompany her children and husband, and spoke perfunctorily to the system when she slept at night. But the wolf monster, could it be the trouble-making wolf monster she met before, running from south to north, so powerful!

Shuofang City

It looks like just a square earthen city, but when you get closer you can see the erected earthen walls. There is sand and wind all year round, and the sky is full of loess. It is an unusual place that can be spotted at a glance.

Taoist Changsheng knew this place. He had traveled there before and saw a sandworm monster in Shuofang City. When it appeared, yellow sand covered the sky and the sun, as if it wanted to bury the entire city.

At that time, Taoist Changsheng's cultivation was not good enough, so he could not do anything to the sandworm monster, so he could only leave. Later, when he gained cultivation and revenge, the sandworm monster died unexpectedly in the internal fighting between monsters, and Shuofang City also changed its owner and was occupied by a beetle monster.

"This beetle demon usually keeps a low profile and will never show up unless something serious happens."

It can be said that it is too cowardly. Most people cannot see the true face of this beetle monster. And because it behaves too cowardly, the revenge of Taoist Changsheng cannot proceed smoothly. He has to take the initiative to relocate the people in Shuofang City, leaving an empty city for the beetle monster to occupy.

Things change, and many more people moved into Shuofang City one after another.

Looking at the people coming and going in front of him, Taoist Changsheng could only sigh and be speechless.

Lin Xingzhi silently touched Taoist Changsheng's shoulder. Shuofang City was too far away from the capital, and there were some things that the imperial court was powerless to do.

At that time, Taoist Changsheng had done everything he could, and the people who moved back to Shuofang City could only say that some things are not black and white, and it is impossible to solve them once and for all.

"There are officials appointed by the imperial court in Shuofang City now, but they are all from the local area, and their respect for the imperial court is far less than their fear of the beetle demon."

Lin Xingzhi put his hands behind his back and thought that the travelogue Lin Jinyu gave him clearly had a picture of a majestic beetle deep underground in this city. He thought it must be the beetle demon.

However, this could not stop them from entering the city, even though the people of Shuofang, a group of officials, and even the beetle monsters underground did not welcome them very much.

Shuofang City does have an official post station, but it has been deserted after being abandoned for a long time. Now they can only live in private inns in Shuofang City and endure the people's self-proclaimed obscure gazes.

Shen Yao has been feeling uncomfortable since she came here. This is clearly a northern region, but why does it have western features?

The system had been saying all sorts of things in its mind since it entered the city. It hates bugs!

This is precisely where the number of insects is the largest and their variety is the widest, to the point where they can be seen everywhere.

"Host, let's go quickly, ahhh, this place is really scary!"

Why are there so many insects? Is there something wrong with the natural order here? Otherwise, how could there be such a scene?

Shen Yao:......

What could Shen Yao say? She could only ask the system to calm down. Shuofang was an unusual place, with many insects, much sand, little rain and few trees. It was naturally suitable for certain insects to survive.

"No, no, this is too scary! Host, please leave now."

The system felt very uncomfortable. Those Zergs had left a deep impression on it, and the system was a little stressed.

Shen Yao didn't care whether the system was under stress or not. What she was worried about was that there was a big thunder hidden in Shuofang City. It was not the beetle monster in the open, but something else hidden behind the scenes.

When the system temporarily lost the energy to shout, Shen Yao mentioned that something was wrong in Shuofang City. It was idle anyway, so she decided to keep an eye on it for herself.

system:……

The host is really too much!

"Know yourself and know your enemy. I believe in your ability, and you have also proved that you are stronger than the Taoist Changsheng," so go and do some real work.

The system left angrily, which was quite absurd, like washing underwear with a cold face.

Finally, the time bomb was thrown away for the time being. Shen Yao breathed a sigh of relief, causing Lin Xingzhi to tease his wife and ask if she was too tired from traveling recently. "I heard that there are many special foods in Shuofang City. Xingzhi is not talented, but I am willing to accompany Yao Niang."

Shen Yao raised her eyebrows when she heard this, "Is my husband really like this?"

Lin Xingzhi nodded, "Of course I will do what I say."

Lin Xingzhi couldn't solve the problems in Shuofang City, so he had to rely on the court and Taoist Changsheng. Didn't you see Taoist Changsheng become extremely busy after parking? Even though he was relaxed and at ease, there were always people carrying the heavy burdens forward.

After the couple had a good rest, they went out for a stroll. The three little ones were temporarily excluded because the city of Shuofang was not safe and children had poor risk management abilities, so it was better to let them experience it first.

Lin Shengyan and his three siblings: ...

Fortunately, the three children have plenty of toys and decorations around them, and they are still happy even without their parents. In particular, the couple knows that what they did is not right, so they always bring enough gifts every time they come back, which does not affect the family relationship between the two sides.

The system hurriedly told the host to stop playing, saying that Shuofang City was not a human city, but an insect city filled with all kinds of insects.

'oh'

Shen Yao continued to ask if the system had noticed the operation of the Insect City? Are those living in Shuofang City still safe?

System: ...not really

The people in Shuofang City all live in symbiosis with insects, and insects are an indispensable part of their daily diet. However, it has not yet found any signs of these people infecting the host. It should be possible that "it is better to leave quickly."

Shen Yao is completely convinced by the system's repeat mode, as he advises the host to run away as soon as they have a disagreement.

But they couldn't leave because the matters in Shuofang City had not been dealt with yet, and they had to wait for news from Taoist Changsheng.

By the way, what's Taoist Changsheng been up to? It seems like he hasn't been seen in a long time.

The Forgotten Taoist Priest of Immortality: ...

Taoist Changsheng is planning how to solve the problem of Shuofang City efficiently and effectively. Since the beetle demon is unwilling to show up and fight with him, he will drive the beetle demon away and take back the ownership of Shuofang City.

Lin Xingzhi was listening to the Taoist Changsheng talking, and had to interrupt the Taoist's fantasy. To be honest, this possibility was a bit difficult.

"Master, the beetle monster is buried deep underground, and the people of Shuofang are above it." There is no need to drive the beetle monster away. As long as the beetle monster shows up, it can overturn half of Shuofang City.

How can a building made of mud and soil withstand the impact from the ground?

Taoist Changsheng showed a look of no need to worry. He had a plan to ensure that this beetle monster would not appear in Shuofang City.

Lin Xingzhi: ...Okay

Now that we have a plan, we will act according to it. In the following period, Lin Xingzhi's previous arrangement to accompany Shen Yao was forced to be suspended.

He first took the initiative to summon officials from Shuofang City, and then frequently went to the government office to deal with old cases that had been suppressed and had extremely bad consequences.

In an instant, the entire Shuofang City was in turmoil, and the people who were originally united began to fight each other for their own interests.

At this time, Lin Xingzhi retired after completing his mission. He stayed in the inn to accompany his wife and children while waiting carefully for the good news that the plan of Taoist Changsheng was passed.

Taoist Changsheng did not disappoint Lin Xingzhi's expectations. Late one night, the beetle monster that had been staying underground in Shuofang City for many years appeared in the dust outside the city.

Good news, Taoist Changsheng really led the beetle monster away from Shuofang City.

Bad news, besides this beetle monster, there are other monsters in Shuofang City.

Feeling the violent shaking like an earthquake beneath him, Lin Xingzhi subconsciously hugged Shen Yao in his arms and shouted to the servants waiting at the door, ordering them to evacuate Shuofang City immediately.

The three children were still asleep and a little confused. Instead of feeling scared when being held in the arms of the servants, they felt excited.

wow~

Everyone was running out with their heads down, and the whole city seemed to come alive.

While running, Shen Yao noticed that people in the team were attacked by insects, and some of the insects drilled into their bodies unknowingly.

Shen Yao:......

She raised her hand and made a gesture, and a magic spell with her as the center penetrated into the body of others. Uncontrollable screams rang out one after another, and some people fell to the ground with a thud.

"careful!"

He grabbed Lin Xingzhi who was beside him and immediately stopped the entire panicked team.

A light sigh made everyone's confused minds clear up in an instant, and Shen Yao secretly tugged at Lin Xingzhi's sleeve.

Lin Xingzhi ordered the guards and imperial guards to form a team, and the servants to stand inside. Then they quickly left Shuofang City and reunited with Taoist Changsheng.

"Prince"

Lin An quickly came up to Lin Xingzhi and said that several people had unfortunately died in the team's hasty escape. Should they be carried away or left there?

"carry away"

Although it is most convenient to leave them on the spot, who knows what will become of the bodies left behind? Looking at the dark sky above his head without a trace of light, Lin Xingzhi took a deep breath. He didn't know whether this group of people could leave safely, and where the Taoist Changsheng was.
