Chapter Two Thousand and Twenty-Three, Calamity
"Young Master, what did you see?" Feng'er asked puzzled.
"Floating corpses, lots and lots of floating corpses!" Zhao Xiaoning's tone was flat, but there was an ominous premonition in his heart. Fuyang Lake is a vast area, and people drown almost every year, so the appearance of floating corpses is nothing. However, he saw countless floating corpses floating on the water, slowly floating in the depths.
"Ahh
A piercing cry suddenly sounded, making Zhao Xiaoning come back to his senses, only to see Feng'er looking at the left and right sides with a pale face, and her pupils trembled deeply: "Young master, look, what is our underwater white thing?"
"What?"
Zhao Xiaoning's face changed suddenly, he thought that those floating corpses were floating in the depths of Fuyang Lake, but now he found that he was wrong, these floating corpses did not float out of it, but floated up under the water. The decomposing corpses floated to the surface like fish in a pond that had been suffocated by lack of oxygen, and they looked horrifying in their dead and their bodies had begun to fester.
"Vomit~~~"
Feng'er is just a weak woman, where has she ever seen this kind of picture, she opened her mouth and spit out what she had just eaten.
"Let's go back first!"
Zhao Xiaoning put his arm around Feng'er's willow waist with one hand, soared into the air, and then flew towards the lake. Not to mention that Feng'er vomited when he saw the picture just now, even after seeing countless winds and waves, he also had a strong feeling of vomiting.
As soon as he came to the shore, Zhao Xiaoning found that there were already a lot of ordinary people gathered here, but they did not have the appearance of pointing and commenting in the past, on the contrary, everyone's expressions were very solemn. Because everyone knows that there are definitely big things to happen with so many floating corpses at the same time, and as a member of Fuyang County, who can feel at ease?
"Oh my God, what the hell is going on, how can there be so many floating corpses?"
"How the hell did these people die?"
"Lose your conscience, lose your conscience!"
Many people had solemn expressions.
"Get out of the way!"
At this moment, a rush of footsteps suddenly came, and I saw a group of soldiers wearing black armor rushing towards them in the distance, their momentum was extremely amazing, and everyone had the cultivation of the ninth layer of ghost cultivation.
Seeing that the people from the government came forward, the ordinary people who watched the excitement retreated one after another.
After that, those soldiers came to the lake, and after a short while, the Qipin County Lingyun and Zhao Liangchen, dressed in the official palace and wearing a flower feather on their heads, came side by side.
Twilight looks like she is in her forties, with a Chinese face, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and the whole person reveals a kind of momentum that is not angry but mighty. This is not the first time Zhao Xiaoning has seen him, he has lived in Fuyang County for more than ten years before, and he has seen Duyun a few times, but he doesn't know what kind of cultivation he is, but now, he feels that Duyun exudes the aura of the peak of the seventh layer of the Ghost Emperor, and his strength is not as good as him.
"Xiao Ning, why are you here?" Zhao Liangchen saw Zhao Xiaoning and Feng'er and asked.
"Feng'er and I came to swim in the lake, but Na Cheng wanted to encounter this kind of thing. Zhao Xiaoning replied, then bowed slightly and saluted to Dusk Cloud: "Grass people Zhao Xiaoning has seen the Dusk County Order. ”
He was not surprised that his father and the twilight county order were together, after all, his father had said that he was going to visit the county order before, and now that such a big thing has happened, it is normal for the two of them to come together.
Duxian Ling nodded slightly, and his eyes showed a look of relief: "Having the realm of the Ghost Emperor at a young age, this is really terrifying! This is the blessing of the Zhao family, and it is also the blessing of my Fuyang County." ”
Dusk County Ling's expression was calm, but he couldn't calm down in his heart, because even he couldn't feel how strong Zhao Xiaoning's strength was, and it was conceivable that his strength was above his own. This made Du Xian Ling very curious about Zhao Xiaoning's encounter, after all, it was still incredible to go from an ordinary person to a master of the Ghost Emperor realm in more than a year.
"The Twilight County Order has won the award!" Zhao Xiaoning said politely, and then couldn't help asking: "Twilight County Order, how can there be so many floating corpses in this Fuyang Lake?"
Zhao Xiaoning is not a gossip person, but there are so many floating corpses in Fuyang Lake, even he wants to know the truth of the matter, after all, it won't take long for him to leave Fuyang County. So he had to get to the bottom of the matter, because he wouldn't allow anything dangerous.
Dusk County Ling sighed and said, "It should be the lake monster that is causing trouble!"
"Lake monster?" Zhao Xiaoning frowned slightly.
Dusk County Ling hummed and said, "I once read the county chronicles of our Fuyang County, which once mentioned that there are lake monsters in Fuyang Lake, and they appear once every five hundred years, but no one knows what those lake monsters are. Calculating the time, there are still nine days left before the last appearance of the lake monster is five hundred years, and the full moon on June 15 will be the time when the lake monster returns, and I am afraid that there will be a fierce battle at that time. A look of worry flashed in his eyes as he said this.
As soon as the voice changed, Duxian ordered: "Master, pass the order, starting tonight, everyone is not allowed to sleep at night, if you fall asleep, you will be taken away by the lake monster, and you will bear the consequences!"
"Yes!"
"Dusk County Order, can this lake monster still hook people's souls away?" Zhao Liangchen asked curiously.
The county commander nodded slightly, and said, "The county chronicle once said that although this lake monster appears once in five hundred years, it is not so terrifying. But there is a way to prevent it, that is, you can't sleep at night, let's just say these corpses we see in front of us, they should have lost their minds by the lake monster, and then committed suicide by throwing themselves into the lake, look carefully at their bodies, everyone's life force has been drained, and the life force of these people is the nutrient of the lake monster, it will only come back if it absorbs the life force of more people. ”
"Therefore, as long as the common people do not sleep at night, it can prevent the lake monster from continuing to confuse the minds of humans, and it can prevent the lake monster from absorbing their life force. ”
Zhao Xiaoning sighed: "Although the idea is good, there are millions of people in Fuyang County, including some babies and the elderly, and their willpower is not as firm as ordinary people. Taking 10,000 steps back, there are still many livestock in Fuyang County, even if people don't sleep at night, I'm afraid the lake monster will attack those livestock, right?"
Duxian Ling was stunned, obviously he didn't expect Zhao Xiaoning to see it so thoroughly, and couldn't help sighing: "This is the calamity of a million people in Fuyang County, and it is also my calamity!"
Zhao Xiaoning thought for a while and said, "Dusk County Order, I have a way, I don't know if it will work." ”
Dusk County's eyes lit up, and he couldn't wait to ask, "What's the solution?"
