Chapter 643: The Wind Rises
In a relatively remote area of Dingtai Town, a strange man suddenly appeared.
He was the governor He Chang who asked Cao Xingzhi to seal the city.
At this moment, there was no one around him, only himself walking leisurely towards the haunted compound, which seemed empty because of the haunting.
"Are you all ready?" He asked in a loud voice.
Inside the door, five men dressed in black turned their heads to look at He Chang at the same time, and after confirming who came, they nodded at the same time.
In front of each of these five people, there was a skull, and unlike ordinary skulls, these skulls seemed to be soaked in blood, which made them extremely oozing.
The skulls were laid out on the ground, and small black worms crawled in and out of the holes in the skulls.
In the face of He Chang's inquiry, the man in black did not speak, but made a gesture.
"Well, that's good." He Chang stroked the beard on his chin with his right hand.
"You go outside and watch." He said as he walked.
The man in black nodded respectfully, and then left the compound.
After the five of them left, He Chang took out a turquoise vial from his big sleeve.
"In a few days, Dingtai Town will be empty, and I will be able to recover my life."
He Chang opened the vial, and then poured the green liquid in the bottle on the skull, and the green liquid made a 'swish' sound after touching the skull, and at the same time a burst of pale green smoke came out.
The smoke drifted into the air and gradually flew towards the most prosperous place in Dingtai Town, and soon, the pale green smoke could not be seen with the naked eye.
After doing all this, He Chang turned around and left.
He had barely taken two steps when a yellow tail peeked out from under his clothes.
"Ugh." He Chang glanced back, and at the same time, his tail was also retracted.
Day and night turn.
In the evening, Zhao Quanshun sat in the mourning hall with an expressionless face.
A series of blows made him lose the motivation to live, he thought that the situation was already bad, but what he didn't expect was that God could make him worse.
"God, why don't you take me with you?"
He looked up at the dark night sky.
"Do you want to die so much?" A calm, slightly hoarse voice suddenly appeared.
"Who?" Zhao Quanshun turned his head and saw someone he was familiar with, "It turned out to be a hero, thank you for saving your life." After saying this, Zhao Quanshun's eyes dimmed again.
"I'm not a hero." Qian Cangyi said.
"It doesn't matter." Zhao Quanshun's voice was very small, and when he said these two words, he didn't even bother to open his mouth.
"Chivalry is for the country and the people, but I'm just here to take revenge." Qian Cangyi took two steps closer, "If you want to take revenge, you must live, and the living can take revenge, and the dead can only lie in the ground and slowly turn into white bones." ”
"The hero laughed, this is a natural disaster, how can I take revenge?" Zhao Quanshun turned his head.
"How do you know it must be a natural disaster?" Qian Cang asked rhetorically, and at the same time stared at Zhao Quanshun with both eyes.
The momentum honed between life and death exuded at this moment, and Zhao Quanshun had to pay attention to this sentence.
"Why did the hero say this? Could it be that some kind of demon exorcism is haunting? Zhao Quanshun stood up.
If that's the case, then he won't be as decadent as he is now.
Qian Cangyi chuckled lightly and did not answer.
The reason why I have this idea is because of Yuan Changqing's dream.
Although the rebel army was surrounded by traitors at that time, some soldiers still survived, and in the process of fleeing, Yuan Changqing happened to meet one of the soldiers and learned some unexpected news.
These messages were also learned by the soldiers by chance.
After the rebels were wiped out, the battlefield was closed off for a while, and during this time, some strange things happened in the nearby towns, and not only that, but some high-ranking officials of the imperial court also came to the vicinity of the battlefield.
Upon inquiry, the soldier discovered that the high-ranking officials had come here to perform some rituals, which were said to be able to prevent the dead from being reborn.
After all the dust fell, the place that was originally a battlefield turned into barren land, not even a single dry grass could grow within a radius of several miles, and people or animals who accidentally entered would also be infected with strange diseases.
Later, Yuan Changqing heard that the soldier had been arrested for drinking and revealing his true identity, and he was taken to the vegetable market and beheaded on the same day.
These contents do not appear continuously, but intermittently, and many times they are just fragments.
Because it is a dream, and there is very little content, in order to stitch these contents together, Qian Cangyi also took a lot of effort, and sometimes he dreamed of key places, and he would force himself to wake up and write down relevant content.
He guessed that the reason why Yuan Changqing still stayed in Dingtai Town was also related to this, and repaying Zhang Wenshi's kindness was only one aspect, and more importantly, it was more important to explore the truth about the destruction of the rebel army.
"How?" Zhao Quanshun was puzzled.
"I don't know if it's a demon or not, but Cao Xingzhi must have something strange about the closure of the city." Qian Cangyi said.
After Qian Cangyi said this, Zhao Quanshun suddenly remembered some things, these things Zhao Quanshun originally planned to inform Qian Cangyi the night before, but because of the strange noise, the conversation between the two was stopped before it began.
"Hero, Governor Cao has begun to transfer his family's property, I'm afraid something big will happen soon." Zhao Quanshun's heart was cold.
"I know." Qian Cang nodded, "So I need you to find a way to find out, I need to know who is the person who ordered the lockdown?" Also, why did this man give this order? ”
"Since Cao Xingzhi is willing to do this, he is bound to receive the benefits of this person, he likes fame and fortune, and the other party is a high-ranking official, presumably ......" Zhao Quanshun fell into deep thought, "As long as you know where he goes, you will definitely be able to gain something." ”
"So, what are you going to do?" Qian Cangyi threw the question to Zhao Quanshun.
He can't leave the Zhang family now, and it is more important to protect Zhang Disaster.
Hearing Qian Cangyi's words, Zhao Quanshun's face was a little bad, "Hero, I'm just a master, this kind of thing, even if you ask me to do it, I can't do anything, let alone ......"
"What's more?" Qian Cangyi asked.
"Although you are here for revenge, the root of it is still to save your life, I did this, and I accidentally put my life into it." Zhao Quanshun smiled self-deprecatingly.
"What if, I mean, what if, we have a common enemy?" Qian Cangyi's voice was sonorous and powerful.
Zhao Quanshun was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to look at Qian Cangyi, and gradually, the energy he had been drained from seemed to return to himself.
"I can find a way to get what you need, but I can't leave Dingtai Town right now, so these things can only be done by you." Qian Cangyi continued.
"I need ...... Blood debt and blood repayment! Zhao Quanshun gritted his teeth.
