Chapter 509: The Disappearing Water Spirit

In a nearby mountain village earlier, also due to the drought, the food tax could not be paid, so the team of demon hunters brought people into the village, beating and smashing.

Several elderly people in their 70s and 80s in the village were beaten to death.

As soon as this news spread, everyone in the nearby villages was in danger and panic, and the village head of Pan Village had to go to Beicang to steal food.

Listening to the village chief's description, it was not only Pancun that encountered a similar situation, but also some surrounding villages suffered from droughts one after another, and they could not pay for food and grass.

Another team?

Only then did Ye Lingyue know that there was another representative team coming to Fang'e County.

There are many teams participating in the Jiuzhou Wild Hunt this time, and the Huangquan team is only one of them. It is not surprising that they do not know the existence of the other party.

Recalling the response of the county magistrate earlier, Ye Lingyue and others understood that the reason why they were dispatched to Beicang to guard the granary must be the hands and feet of the representative team.

The other party's intention is obvious, just to seize the merits and leave Fang'e County early.

"It makes no sense. There are tens of thousands of grains in the north warehouse. Even if there is a natural disaster, if the grain warehouse is released, it will be enough for countless disaster victims in the nearby three townships and 18 villages. If you are an official and don't do things for the people, you should be a bullshit official. I'm going to arrest the magistrate."

When Situ and Lan Feng heard this, their blood boiled, and they were ready to teach the county magistrate a lesson.

"Stop, both of you calm down. This is not Huangquan City. Fang A has its own city owner and county magistrate. We are just an ordinary representative team. If we really want to fight against the county government, it will destroy the order, and it is very likely that Being treated as a bandit. Do you still want to continue participating in the Jiuzhou Wild Hunt?"

Ye Lingyue scolded both Situ and Lan Feng to Yanba.

"Lingyue is right. You two have more than enough success. I think this matter needs to be discussed in the long run. Why don't we all walk around the village separately to see if the situation in the village is as the village chief said."

Gong Linxin suggested.

Everyone agreed with each other, and they went to Pan Village to inspect the village separately.

Ye Lingyue and Guangguang, together with Xiao Zhiyo and Xiao Wuya, checked the well in the village and the stream at the entrance of the village.

"The water has bottomed out,

The water flow is very narrow and has stopped. There are also several main wells in the village, which have also dried up, and the drought is severe. "

Photon looked around and turned back.

"The crops in the field are in the harvesting stage, and without water, there will be no harvest."

Ye Lingyue frowned, the more she looked at it, the more strange she felt.

She remembered that according to the records, the weather in Fang'e County was good, and there were several major rivers flowing through it. Because of this, the food crops in this area have been growing very well.

In the hundreds of years recorded in the county's history, let alone such a severe drought, even a small drought has never been encountered.

Generally speaking, the climate of a region is not unreasonably abnormal.

"Boss."

Xiao Wuya who followed Ye Lingyue suddenly opened her mouth.

"I think there is something wrong with this place. There is a lack of water spirit here."

Xiao Wuya's words awakened the dreamer.

Ye Lingyue realized immediately, no wonder she felt that something was wrong, as Xiao Wuya said, the spirit of water was lacking in Pan Village.

Except for a few cities in ancient Jiuzhou, such as Yanmen, Huangquan and other cities, the spiritual power is insufficient. In most areas, the five spirits are quite complete.

The more abundant the five spirits, the better the growth of all things in a place.

It's like Ye Lingyue's Hongmengtian, which is a rare blessed land of five spirits, so all kinds of crops and even spirit beasts in it grow extremely well.

Compared with the outside world, even in the city of five spirits, the five spirits of Hongmengtian are at least ten times or even dozens of times more abundant.

Of course, this abundance is only for ordinary people. For certain warriors and alchemists, if they want to cultivate the power of reincarnation, they still need to get some super big cities or treasure places like Wuling City.

Xiao Wuya is the descendant of the Ice and Fire Phoenix, and she is more sensitive than anyone to the spirits of the five elements of water and fire.

When she arrived at Pan Village with Ye Lingyue, she felt that the five spirits in this place were very unbalanced.

After thinking about it carefully, she found that there were almost no water spirits in this village.

Water is the source of life for all things. Without the spirit of water, the entire village seems to be dried out, and the spirits of the five elements of other attributes are also rapidly lost.

The trees began to wither, and the soil became barren. The gold and stone collapsed into the city's sand, and the river stopped flowing, making it a land of severe drought.

"Lack of water spirit..."

Ye Lingyue pondered.

After a while, the other team members also gathered information and came back to meet.

Through chatting with the villagers, the team members also found that what the village chief told was the truth.

"It's not the way to go on like this. We have to tell the county magistrate about the matter and try to solve the drought in the inventory. The villagers have been staying here, and they will die of thirst if they don't starve to death."

Everyone agreed.

So Ye Lingyue took the village chief and returned to the county office together, and told the county magistrate about the predicament that Pan Village was facing.

"Drought in Pancun? It's just ridiculous."

"It has been five years since this official was dispatched to Fang'e County. In the past five years, the weather has been good, and there has never been any natural or man-made disaster. Besides, in the inventory of several nearby villages, no drought has been reported. Miles are different?"

When the magistrate heard it, instead of showing any sympathy, he loudly reprimanded Ye Lingyue and the village chief of Pan Village.

"County magistrate, if you don't believe it, you can go to Pancun to take a look."

Ye Lingyue was unreasonable when she saw the magistrate, she stepped forward, dragged the magistrate and was about to leave.

"Presumptuous, dare to hold the magistrate hostage. Take them all down."

Say it's late, it's quick.

However, when I saw the county government office, a dozen burly men poured into it all at once.

These people are all tall and fat, and the short-bearded man headed by them is Captain An of the Tian Falcon team.

"You are the captain of the other team in Fang'e County? I'm Ye Lingyue from the Huangquan team. There is a drought in Pancun, and the situation is very urgent."

Ye Lingyue looked straight at Captain An.

Unexpectedly, the other party saw that she was just a black-faced girl, with a thin body and no power of reincarnation, so she sneered coldly.

"What kind of thing are you, dare to compare with this captain. What is drought or not, I only know that if you don't pay the grain tax, it is illegal. As the captain, you work with the villagers to fight the tax, and you will be guilty of one more crime."

When Ye Lingyue heard this, her black eyes darkened. Suddenly, a strong wind swept through.

I saw her shoulders shrugged, and she immediately used the "Tenth Heaven" supernatural power, accelerated her body, and slammed into the captain An with her shoulders.

Captain An looked disdainful and did not dodge, so he was ready to wait for Ye Lingyue to humiliate herself.
