After the meal, Amaqi arranged for two tents to be laid for us. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info bearded man said that after a day's journey, he was tired and wanted to rest early, so he took Ruomeng and I out of Amaqi's house and came to the river.

"Senior brother, what's the problem with Atamo?"

"His soul is gone." The bearded man said sadly.

"What?" Ruomeng and I were shocked, "Then how can he still move." ”

"There are no soul fluctuations in his body, but his body is supported by a strange black qi, so he can move. But he's already a walking dead. "The bearded man was sad with great anger.

"Did you do it by raising ghosts?" I suppressed the anger in my chest and asked the beard.

"Nine times out of ten, they did it." The bearded man gritted his teeth and said.

"The other two dozen or so children in the village are probably like Atamo. It's such a hateful ghost cult, and its methods are really vicious. Senior brother, what should we do now? Do you want to visit the temple at night? I asked.

"Yes, we'll visit the temple at night tonight. However, it is necessary to go later, so as not to arouse the suspicion of the villagers. ”

After eleven o'clock in the evening, the villagers turned off the lights and went to bed, and the world was quiet, with the occasional cries of cattle and sheep. The three of us came to the red-walled temple at the head of the village, and all three of us hid to be on the safe side. After all, if the villagers find out that we "offend the gods", then we probably won't be able to stay any longer.

We quietly pushed open the temple door and dodged into the temple. When I came in, I was taken aback that the deity enshrined on the altar was actually a skeleton. The skeleton sat on a stone chair, leaning forward slightly, as if it was about to stand up and walk down the altar. I took Ruomeng's hand and felt her hand tremble a little, probably the first time I saw a skeleton, and it was still in the dark of night. Girls are naturally afraid of these things. I held Ruomeng's hand tightly, and Ruomeng said softly, "It's okay, I'm not afraid." ”

Looking at this skeleton, I couldn't help but think of the skeleton general summoned by the necromancer in the abandoned factory. The bearded man and I glanced at each other and saw the solemnity in each other's eyes.

Could it be that this ghost cult is also connected to the world of the dead, just like the necromancer? If so, then the problem is serious.

I took a closer look at the temple, and there was nothing else, just a one-meter-high altar with a stone chair on the altar and a skull statue sitting on the stone chair.

I touched the skull statue, it looked like it was carved out of wood.

After two rounds, I didn't find anything else.

"What's next," I asked.

"Wait, wait until tomorrow morning when the villagers come to worship and see if there is any problem." The bearded man said.

"Are we going to wait here until dawn?" I asked.

"No, let's go back to the river, we'll suffocate to death after a night here." The bearded man said, "We'll come back when it's almost dawn." ”

Back by the river, Ruomeng and the bearded man both entered the state of cultivation, and the bearded man held the blue yuan stone.

If the dream of "Dantian Lake" has been completed, the next thing is to "build a rainbow bridge". I'm on the side to protect Ruomeng.

Ruomeng soon entered a deep state of cultivation, his face was silent, and he was obviously concentrating on building the Hongqiao. For a long time, Ruomeng still didn't move. I don't know if her Hongqiao construction is successful, I can only watch. I didn't tell Ruomeng about my experience before, because everyone has their own understanding of Hongqiao, and the cultivation methods of each sect are different. I am based on the "out of nothing" to build the Hongqiao, if the dream is to cultivate the "Jade Void Palace" method, there must be another set of methods to build the Hongqiao. I'm sure that even a bearded man who practices the same mind as me may have a different understanding of "making something out of nothing" than I do.

Therefore, the cultivation still depends on oneself, and many times others really can't help.

At about five o'clock in the morning, Ruomeng opened her eyes and woke up from her deep cultivation. I asked with concern, "How's the dream?" ”

Ruomeng shook his head and said calmly: "Failed, the mana used to build the rainbow bridge escaped in the void. I repaired the dantian barrier again. I'm only two-thirds of my mana at full right now. ”

"It's okay, if we fail this time, we'll continue next time." I was comforted like a dream.

"Well, don't worry, I won't be discouraged, I've found some feelings, and I'm sure I'll succeed next time." Ruomeng smiled slightly.

I was relieved to see Ruomeng smiling, Ruomeng is a girl who is weak on the outside but strong on the inside, and her Dao heart is even stronger than mine.

The bearded man also stopped cultivating, and the Lan Yuan Stone in his hand was slightly smaller. He put the blue yuan stone into the watch space and stood up.

"Let's go, let's go to the temple and wait now, it's almost dawn." The bearded man greeted.

The three of us hid our bodies and walked towards the temple. When we arrived at the temple, we waited quietly in a corner.

After about half an hour, there were footsteps and the sound of people talking outside the temple gate, and then a group of mermaids rushed in, standing in two rows in front of the statue, more than 20 dumb children stood in the front row, and more than 20 adults stood in the back row, Atamo and Amachi suddenly stood in the column.

After standing still, the adults in the back row knelt down in unison, praying neatly in their mouths, "Great God, you are the master of the world, we have offended you, please forgive us for our ignorance and give us guidance." Your mercy will shine throughout the world. ”

"Great God, you are the master of the world, we have offended you, please forgive us foolishness and give us guidance. Your mercy will shine throughout the world. ”

。。。。。。

The villagers prayed incessantly, and we stared motionlessly, afraid that we had missed something.

Suddenly, the anomaly suddenly changed, and dozens of black lights appeared from the skeleton's eye sockets, shooting at the children standing in the front row. After the children were exposed to the black light, they suddenly let out a "whoosh" howl in unison, which resounded throughout the village. Then he turned around in unison, opened his mouth to reveal two long fangs, and bit down on the adults kneeling behind him. The adults were stunned and didn't react at all.

"It's not good, it's a zombie, save people." The bearded man screamed and flew out, his body as fast as lightning, knocking down several small zombies in an instant.

At the same time, Ruomeng and I also acted, Ruomeng was as fast as lightning, and with a wave of his hand, a pair of jade palms also knocked down several little zombies, and with a wave of my hand, the mana worked, and a gust of wind blew the villagers out of the temple.

The little zombies have lost their target, and they want us to pounce on us with a fierce look.

"What to do, senior brother. Kill? I asked.

"We can't kill us, at least not directly, otherwise the villagers won't forgive us." The bearded man said loudly, "Let's go out first, and then close the temple door when we go out, and lock these little zombies in the temple first." ”

"Okay, let's get out then." The three of us went out of the temple in a flash, and then the temple door was closed. With a wave of his hand, the bearded man laid a wall of fire at the entrance of the temple.

The villagers outside have woken up and are panicking, and the six gods have no master. As soon as we came out, they immediately gathered around us and asked us loudly, "Who are you and what the hell is going on?" What happened to our children? ”

"Folks, please be quiet and listen to me, okay?" The bearded man used a calming spell and a requiem charm, and the panicked villagers fell silent, but they still looked at the bearded man with worried and expectant faces.

"And it comes to pass that you are not worshipping a god, but an evil spirit, who has drained the souls of your children and turned them into zombies, as you have seen with your own eyes." The bearded man said loudly.

"So what to do, who are you, can you help us?" Someone in the crowd cried.

"We are the case-handling personnel sent by the state to investigate and deal with the evil spirit case. We will surely purge the evil spirits and avenge you. The bearded man said in a loud voice, "Brother Amaqi, I'm sorry, I lied to you, we are not here to do geological research, we are sent by the central government to investigate and deal with evil spirit cases." But there's one thing I kid you not, I'm really a college professor. ”

"It's okay, Professor Li, can our children still be saved?" Amachi looked at the bearded man with a look of hope.

The bearded man fell silent, and the faces of the villagers slowly turned desperate, and they all began to cry.

"Is there really no hope? I beg you, Professor Lee, to save our children. Amachi suddenly fell to his knees, and the villagers fell to their knees.

"Folks, don't be like this, I understand your feelings, but the children's souls have been drained by evil spirits, and the children's bodies have become zombies, I can only promise you that even if there is one in ten thousand hopes, we will do our best to save your children. Get up quickly. The bearded man said in a pleading voice.

"Thank you, Professor Li, please save our children, and I and the villagers thank you." Amazina's hopeful gaze almost melted everything, and I couldn't bear to look at it.

"Okay, folks, let's do our best, you guys get up, it's cold on the ground, please get up." The bearded man pleaded.

"Okay, folks, get up, let's not put pressure on Professor Li, Professor Li will definitely try to save our children." Amachi took the lead in standing up, and the villagers also stood up one after another.

"But, folks, you must promise me that you will not approach your children until I have thought of a way, they have lost their minds, and they will bite you. If you get bitten, you may also turn into zombies. The bearded man said loudly.

"Okay, Professor Li, we'll all listen to you." The villagers wept and agreed.

"Senior brother, what should I do next?" I asked.

"Inform the army to fence off the temple with an iron fence so that zombies don't escape, and make it a military exclusion zone." The bearded man said with a resolute expression.

I suddenly remembered a question, and I asked solemnly, "Brother Amaqi, are there any other villages around here besides your village?" ”

"There are villages about 80 miles upstream along the river, and there are villages 70 miles downstream along the river." Amachi replied.

The bearded man obviously thought about it too, his face was as bright as iron, if the claws of the Demon Cult also extended to other villages, then, without the protection of the cultivators, maybe an even greater tragedy would have happened.

"Immediately inform the army that all villages here, where there are temples, will be designated as military restricted areas and will be subject to military control." The bearded man said.

"Yang Shu, immediately check the contact number of the top military person in charge here through the Dragon Group network." The bearded man said solemnly.

Knowing that the situation was serious, I immediately connected to the logistics department of the Dragon Group through the satellite network on my mobile phone, and soon found the phone number of the division headquarters of the nearest Marine Division here.

When I called, it was a call from an orderly.

"Hello, this is the headquarters of the Ninth Marine Division of the Northwest Theater."

"Hello, I'm Yang Shu of the Chinese Dragon Group, please ask your division commander to answer the phone."

"Okay, chief, wait a minute."

About a minute passed.

"Hello, Comrade Yang Shu, I am Yang Jiguang, commander of the Ninth Marine Division."

"Comrade Yang Jiguang, I have a case here that seriously endangers the safety of the people and needs your assistance."

"Okay, Comrade Yang Shu, please speak."

"I ask you to immediately send troops into all nearby villages where temples have been built, especially temples must be fenced off with iron fences and set up as military exclusion zones." I said solemnly.

"Comrade Yang Shu, such a big military operation, please explain the situation." Yang Jiguang also said solemnly.

"Well, I'll cut it short." I told Yang Jiguang the situation concisely, and Yang Jiguang on the other end of the phone should also have a dignified face.

After I finished speaking, it took a few seconds for Yang Jiguang's voice to ring on the other end of the phone, "Comrade Yang Shu, the situation is serious, I will immediately ask my superiors for instructions, and once I get the order for military transfer, I will act immediately." ”

"It's too late, every moment passes, the lives of the people are in danger, I, as the guardian of the country, order you to act immediately, and if there is any objection from above, let him go to the dragon group. At the same time, if you find any special circumstances, report them to me immediately. I said sternly.

"Okay, Comrade Yang Shu, I need to verify your identity."

"Okay, my code is xxxxxxxxx, I'll give you two minutes to look it up."

Two minutes later, "Comrade Yang Shu, I'll act immediately!" Yang Jiguang's decisive voice came from the other end of the phone.

I breathed a sigh of relief and hung up.
