Chapter 224: Lost Soul Like a Walking Corpse
Standing on the wall of Changtai County that day, before leaving, he shouted and scolded Zhang Xianye, and Bu'an naturally wanted the people in the city to hear.
Since ancient times, the mouth of the people is more than the mouth of the Sichuan, even if Zhang Chengtao and Zhang Xianye father and son are the emperors of the Seven Fujian Road, they can't stop the spread of rumors.
In the more than half a month after he left Changtai County, the situation on that day was beautified by the people, intentionally or unintentionally, as an "empty city plan" in the world, and through the mouth of merchants, it spread to Zhangzhou, and from Zhangzhou to Quanzhou.
Rumors always spread more and more bizarrely, the teahouse storyteller in the mouth of the little scholar, young but self-proclaimed iron teeth and bronze teeth, also known as a sword from the west, independent of the city, calm and relaxed, and the city of General Zhang is anxious to save the thief Lin Tong, and is afraid of an ambush in the city, advance and retreat, and lose face.
Zhang Chengtao has lived in Qifu for a long time, and his official reputation is not very good, and there is a precedent for the people to arrange their father and son, but the emperor is far away, and some folk rumors are harmless at all. When Chen Quean heard about this rumor, he was even more anxious in his heart, but in this way, the step-master nephew and the father and son of the Zhang family have completely formed a bond - this dead knot, Song Yinting has the heart to solve it, and I am afraid it will not be able to untie it.
Chen Quean is not the only one who has such thoughts.
Song Yinting refused to see him for a long time, also because he couldn't figure it out.
Listening to the meaning of Shizi and Chen County's order, it seemed that Song Yinting should know how to deal with it next as long as the file was delivered, but he was confused - if it weren't for the father and daughter who said Bu'an as a last resort, he almost felt that this little scholar's actions after coming to Qimin Dao were all self-conscious and whimsical.
"But does he have any other meaning?
Song Yinting seems to have fallen into a dilemma: either the scholar is too naïve, or he Song Yinting is too stupid, and the two must be one or the other...... In contrast, Lord Song is willing to believe in himself.
Perhaps it was the "special gift" that annoyed the kid, and he repaid it and sent a hot potato back...... Song Yinting could only guess so.
All in all, Bu An and his seven divisions, like an alien catfish, swam into the big pond of Qimin Road. The forces up and down are either angry, unpredictable, or contemptuous of him.
And after making a lot of noise, he suddenly disappeared cleanly.
Some speculate that he was at the end of his rope and must have starved to death in the mountains;
Some people feel that Zhang Xianye must have killed people, but he tacitly understands it;
There are also a very small number of people, such as Song Manqiu, who believe that he is safe and sound, and will return to everyone at an unexpected time.
However, Bu'an doesn't care about any of that. The moment he crossed the last mountain and officially stepped into the boundary of Jianzhou, he had already had no distractions, and he was too lazy to take care of the mess behind him.
In fact, no one could have imagined that this inconspicuous team from Yuezhou would dare to march into Jianzhou alone with such a brazen and fearless posture to face the behemoth of the Moon Worship God Sect.
Rise from the ashes.
With more than 200 people, to do a stupid thing that is dead and lifeless, Tianmu Bu'an, the seventh stephen, finally from this moment on, showed his ruthless side to the world.
......
......
On November 25, the second year of Longxing, on the first day of walking out of the mountains, the seventh division passed by many villages.
Every village looks eerie and terrifying, and at first glance, it looks like a dead place like Liudian Town. However, Zhang Blind and the feng shui cultivators under his tent told Bu An that these walking corpse-like villagers were all big living people.
In the words of Zhang Blind, these villagers lost their souls, thinking that they were extracted by the moon worshippers using the ancient method of sacrifice to extract their wisdom and sacrifice the old gods.
"Monks also lack souls, but they are not so unbearable. Deng Xiaoxian was still joking at this time, but no one paid attention to him.
"But why did you only see the villagers along the way, but not the moon thieves?" Luo Qingting said everyone's doubts.
Zhang Blind shook his head and said nothing.
Bu An saw that everyone couldn't discuss anything, so he ordered to continue on the road.
Qisi has been trekking through mountains and rivers for several days, and is anxious to find a place to replenish, but after walking more than ten miles, most of the villagers along the way are glazed over, and they can't even understand a sentence, and the village is even poorer, not to mention spending money to buy, even if it is robbed, it can't grab much food.
Bu An immediately made a decision, did not stop at all, went straight to the northwest, and finally came to a county town in the evening - it was a small flag inserted on the map in Song Yinting's account in his memory, Jianzhou Mansion, Ningyang County.
Looking at Ningyang County from a distance, there is nothing unusual, there is no trace of the raging war, and there is no trace of evil wandering.
Blind Zhang proposed that he lead the black camp into the city first to find out the truth.
Bu An pondered for a moment, then vetoed it - in the few zombie movies he had watched, splitting up was usually the cause of tragedy.
Although the situation here is not the same as that of zombie movies, one thing is the same: compared to potential threats, psychological pressure and fear of the unknown are the keys to crushing people's hearts.
So, under his order, the people of the Seven Divisions were ready to fight, and they rushed in from the city gate as if they were facing a great enemy. I didn't see the officers and soldiers guarding the city, and occasionally met one or two people walking with their heads bowed, and their expressions were the same as the villagers they saw along the way.
Even if they did not encounter any visible danger, the nervousness of the people of the Seventh Division was no worse than when facing the officers and soldiers in Changtai County.
Since coming to Qifu, everyone has heard of the strangeness of the Moon Worship Cult: those officers and soldiers who went out to suppress bandits did not encounter a single soldier, but unknowingly, they themselves became walking corpses.
Seeing with your own eyes those people who have lost their souls, are dazed, and don't even know that they are drooling, anyone will be afraid.
Bu An thought that the best way to overcome his fear was probably to try to have something for everyone to do, as long as he was not free, he would not be cranky.
So, he made a decision that he would never normally do, but at this time it is harmless.
Not long after, the team of the Seven Divisions, which formed a long serpentine formation, actually sang a song in a ridiculous manner, singing the song that had just been sung by Qingshan before leaving the mountain yesterday.
"The thunder in the clear sky beats the golden drum, and the wandering spirits in the sky make harmony...... The sword qi swallows the tiger and leopard, and the country enters the formation for thousands of miles...... Don't make Wu hook the treasure sheath, and spread the banner to find the marquis......"
That's right, Bu'an's decision was to sing military songs as a whole.
At this time, the slanting sun shone on the streets of Ningyang County, and the people wandered like lonely ghosts...... This scene is extremely absurd, but it is the most vibrant picture in the entire county.
Night is coming, and no one knows what will happen tonight.
