Chapter 32 The thief

It was noon.

It was originally a sunny day.

However, as the locust alarm sounded, the sky above the ten thousand acres of fields in Jinlu Winery was soon covered like dark clouds.

Those dark clouds are not real clouds, but insect clouds formed after locusts pass through.

The locust plague in the world of immortal cultivation is far more terrifying than the mortal world.

If locusts in the mortal world attack the food field, they will advance along the ground one by one. Because of the commander of the psychic locust demon in the world of immortal cultivation, they clearly have too many defenses on the ground, and often they will first pull into the high altitude, cover all the territory, and then dive down.

In this way, they can effectively destroy the defensive positions that monks have worked hard to establish, and even a charge can directly destroy the monks' resistance, thereby completing the occupation of the territory, and enjoying a sumptuous meal without restraint.

Ding Xing looked up and felt that he had never seen such a terrifying scene in his life.

The originally blue and clean sky suddenly burst out with dense spots. The team of locusts was covered with the sound of swinging wings in his ears.

The environment also became darker, just like the day of the celestial dog food, bringing unknown and bad luck.

"Light incense!"

"Hurry up and smell good!"

In the garden, the villagers shouted loudly. Almost instantly, the thick fog formed after the burning of the insect incense spread out in an acre of orchard.

The green in the garden is quickly obscured.

Locusts prefer to eat green things. Whenever they meet, they will always pounce on them without any chance.

Smoke can confuse the direction of their attack.

But there are so many orchards on the farm, not every household has a worm fragrance to use. After all, this kind of spiritual fragrance is a scarce thing. If any winery rushes to buy it in a certain month, it will cause a situation of supply and demand.

Since the locusts passed by, only 60 to 70% of the gardens in the village have lit insect incense. The remaining incense is not purchased in time, so they can only use more expensive other insect-killing treasures.

Ding Xing had incense to lit, so he and Yu Taibing divided into two groups, one town in front garden and the other town in back garden.

In the past, once the fragrance mist spread, they would leave the orchard and return to the small path in front of the garden for a while. However, today the situation is different. There are monsters hidden in the locust swarm, including two-level and three-level powerful monsters. They can walk through the fragrance mist for some time. If they find the location to insert incense and remove it and destroy it, it will be a big trouble.

Moreover, the locust plague will not last for a short time, at least one day and one night. If the disaster is severe, it may take several days and nights. When the spiritual incense is burned out, new incense needs to be replenished in time.

Therefore, neither Ding Xing nor Yu Tai could leave the Orange Orchard, and had to stay next to his incense position. This would inevitably be attacked by the locust demon, but this was also helpless. You should not surrender and escape when the locust plague comes.

Ding Xing looked at the sky, layers of insect clouds were falling and soon falling into the garden.

He suddenly took out a wine jar, opened the seal, and fell from his head. This was the "worm tears" he had cultivated. Soaked his clothes with spiritual wine, and the smell of alcohol would radiate. Ordinary insects and beasts would definitely not be close to him.

Originally, Ding Xing did not intend to use the "Zeng'er Tears", but he saw that the insect swarm in the sky was so large and there were too many. Once he rushed into the garden and ran raging, it would be like hail falling, and his vision would inevitably be blocked. Everyone should concentrate on defending their garden and no one would pay attention to what happened around Ding Xing.

Ding Xing was also worried that the cuckoo could not control the locust swarm, and that the "Zhong'er Tears" was the second defense he secretly added.

He couldn't help but think: "These days, there are rumors everywhere in the village that if the locust plague really breaks out, the poison cultivators outside the village will definitely take the opportunity to steal wine. But in such a locust scourge, the seniors in the Xuanfei period will be unable to move forward. How can poison cultivators steal wine? They really have such great powers and can all go to Kaishan to establish a sect. The spiritual wine of Jinlu Winery will not be valuable to them, so why should they steal it?'

Ding Xing couldn't solve this doubt.

He did not think that the wine thieves dared to take advantage of the situation, but the evil people spread the word that the village people were so evil that they were sure that these people would take the opportunity to attack Lingjiao, because in the past, such accidents would always occur when the Jinluo Cell was opened.

A locust plague first and then a stolen wine.

However, whether the wine can be successfully stolen is another matter.

‘Huh? The insect swarm has not yet rushed down. Why did Sister Changjun sacrifice the insect extermination banner? As soon as the poisonous smoke comes out, isn’t she afraid of poisoning all the vines in her house?’

When Ding Xing was alert to the locust swarm, he looked at his neighbors with two defensive measures.

Meng Changjun guarded her vineyard alone and did not recruit any helpers. She first lit the insect fragrance and inserted an insect-extinguishing banner into the garden. This is a poisonous treasure. The spreading miasma can effectively control the locusts.

However, the poisonous miasma will also seep into the vines. Without two or three years of removal, it will not be recovered. During this period, the spiritual fruits produced by the vines are shriveled and bitter. Although they are not toxic, the spiritual wine they brew is extremely effective.

Ding Xing originally wanted to advise Meng Changjun not to use the poison treasure so early. After all, the defense line of Yuantian has not been broken by locusts, and it is far from the moment of rushing to take a desperate bet.

When he spoke, he suddenly saw the area filled with miasma and could no longer see the scenery. Meng Changjun's figure also disappeared into the miasma.

He immediately closed his teeth.

He was murdered by Mai Youth in the snow forest. At that time, he knew that there was a Mai Youth's accomplice in Jinlu Winery. It was this accomplice who provided Mai Youth's travel information to Mai Youth and almost killed himself.

This accomplice is obviously also a wine thief lurking on the farm.

However, Ding Xing could not find the trace of this person for a long time. He suspected that he was too Tai and was still wary of Tai.

He also suspected that every servant he knew would secretly look at the faces of these people when he met them every day to see if there were any traces of using the 'skin painting technique'.

But he never had suspicion of Meng Changjun because Meng Changjun was as affectionate as a sibling to him. Moreover, he was an acquaintance introduced by Meng Xiaotang's mother Meng Qiao, so it was almost impossible for him to be a thief who pretended to be a wine thief.

However, at present, Meng Changjun suddenly pretended to be a mystery and used poison treasure to hide his body.

This behavior was a bit abnormal and immediately made Ding Xing feel at ease.

But Ding Xing would not completely question Meng Changjun just because of a little bit of catching wind and shadow.

He decided to wait and see.

The more the time the locust plague comes, the greater the possibility that the traces of the wine thieves will be exposed.

After seeing the neighbors on the left, Ding Xing looked at the situation in the right corner.

In addition to igniting the worm-absorbing fragrance, the berry garden on the right also inserted several "worm-taking flags" and were held by four servants. Their employer Wu Shizong also rarely showed up. Today, he was in charge of the garden and participated in the fight against the locust swarm.

Wu Shizong is the father of the domineering girl Wu Zhaoying. Two years ago, Wu Zhaoying was bitten off by a white-hoofed horse, and was then taken to Binghua Mountain by his disciple Wu Yuanfang of the upper sect, and he left forever.

Wu Shizong did not think about taking Wu Zhaoying home. He married seven or eight wives and concubines and gave birth to several daughters. He only wanted to enjoy his life and preferred to spend money on the world. He never cared about whether his children would become successful.
