Chapter 12: The Police
I pulled the wooden cart at the corner of the courtyard and helped carry the bodies of Zhang Shi and his cousin to the cart, ready to be pulled outside the village for burial.
As soon as he walked out of the courtyard gate, a group of men, women and children swayed around. These villagers, who are not human or ghostly, have become walking corpses, their eyes are glazed, and the corners of their mouths are still dripping with black blood.
"Li Chunlan, these ghost things are handed over to you!" I was so frightened that I dropped the wooden cart, took Jingjing's hand and retreated to the courtyard.
Li Chunlan let out a terrible ghost howl, rushed forward like a cannonball, and grabbed those dirty things for a while.
I watched with trepidation as I watched the battle in front of me, with severed limbs flying in the streets and black and stinking blood splattering everywhere. Gradually, Li Chunlan's fists were invincible to her four hands, and her soul body was already dimmed by the zombie pounce, and she couldn't hold on for long.
At the critical moment, a group of hurried footsteps sounded at the entrance of the village, accompanied by an angry roar, running towards me.
"All are gone, not one is left!" The roarer was a middle-aged man in a tunic who held a silver tube in his hand, one end of which was so sharp that the whole tube shimmered brightly.
The group of people behind the middle-aged man were uniformly dressed, and their steps were uniform, and they rushed towards me with good training, each holding a silver pipe!
These people faced those zombies, like the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, and the pipes in their hands were pierced one by one, as long as they were pierced, those zombies fell to the ground softly and lost their mobility.
"Li Chunlan, come back quickly!" I watched as those people were about to make a move on the house ghost, and quickly called the house ghost back.
In a few moments, those people knocked the zombies to the ground and came to me.
"Little girl, did you raise this ghost? In order to prevent the evil cholera from happening, give it to me! The middle-aged man pointed to the house ghost next to me and said with a righteous face.
"Hello uncle! The ghost Chunlan was left to me by my grandmother, and I will never let her hurt the innocent, so you can let her go. I pleaded pitifully, and then put the ghost away.
"No, our Xuanmen police will never allow uncontrollable existence to remain in the world, and give you two choices, either hand over the ghost and go with us, or stay here forever!"
The middle-aged man's face was firm, and he directly gave two choices. It seems that if I disobey, I will be destroyed humanely.
"Uncle, what is the Xuanmen police? Maintain world peace? I asked curiously.
"It can also be said that our Xuanmen police monitor the heavens and the earth and eliminate all evil demons. I don't think you will be embarrassed if you don't cultivate, hand over the ghosts, and then go with us to confirm that your identity is correct and that you have not done evil things that have lost your conscience, and we will not embarrass you. The middle-aged man answered my question with a calm face.
I haven't heard of it in my grandmother's notes, and there is also the title of the Xuanmen police on the rivers and lakes, which seems to be a recently established department.
"Uncle, I can go with you, but I can't deal with the ghost for you until it's safe, and it's not certain if we can go out." I'm a fish and a man, so I have to come up with a delaying tactic first, and I'll talk about it when I get out.
The middle-aged man thought for a while, and didn't seem to be afraid that I would run away halfway, so he nodded and said, "Okay, let's talk about what's going on here?" Why is the yin energy so heavy here? And what's going on with these zombies? ”
"This place has been set up by my grandmother, and it is difficult for people who come in to get out. These people did not listen to their grandmother's advice and insisted on staying here, and they became like this because they were eroded by the yin qi. I replied honestly.
"What? It's no wonder that the ghost spirit in the Prison Heaven Mirror is actually set up by someone to set up a great array of the Absolute Sun, this kind of demonic behavior is to bring disaster to the world! Say, what's your grandmother's name? Where are you? ”
The middle-aged man was so angry that his fingers almost poked my fingers in the face, and I shrank my neck in fright, I was really afraid that he would catch me and beat me up.
"My grandma is dead, if you don't believe me, you can come with me." I replied in a whisper.
"Xiaojing, burn all these corpses to prevent them from being taken by the corpse master, and it will cause disaster to the people!" The middle-aged man turned his head to a young man beside him and said.
"Wait!" I hurriedly shouted. Then he pointed to the corpse on the cart and said: "Uncle, these two are my relatives, they were pierced to death by the Demon Cone Breaker, and their souls are gone, please help bury him!" Please! ”
"What? A high-level magic weapon pierced to death? The middle-aged man was startled, and hurriedly probed the two corpses with his hands before standing up.
"What a vicious method, the soul spirit has dissipated, alas, bury it!" The middle-aged man sighed, beckoned Zhang Jingjing and me, and sent two people to pull the wooden cart away.
After burying Zhang Shishi and his wife, Zhang Jingjing and I returned to Zhangzhai under the surveillance of two Xuanmen policemen.
On the way, there were already bits and pieces of ghosts floating out, but the Xuanmen police, who were afraid of me, didn't dare to pounce on us.
The two Xuanmen policemen were used to these ghosts, and they didn't have any fearful looks, but they scared Zhang Jingjing so much that his face turned pale.
"Alas, I can't leave, the big array has been activated, and I think there are already Yin soldiers surrounding this place on the periphery, and this place will become a dead place sooner or later." I sighed secretly, after the Absolute Sun Array was activated, I could only enter but not go out, when I came in, it was the door of life, and when I went out, it was the door of death, and there was no way to live at all.
When I entered the village, the fire was blazing, and the stench wafted out, and the zombies were piled up in a pile, and from time to time they were thrown into the fire to burn, and the stench was so strong that my stomach was churning.
"Take me to your grandmother's, I want to see if this demon is really dead." When the middle-aged man saw me coming, he ordered me to go to my grandmother's house.
I returned to the ancestral house with mixed feelings, looked sadly at the white banner outside the door, and picked up the paper piercing man who was blown down by the wind, and then looked at the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man looked at the obituary written by his grandmother, his face was extremely solemn, and he muttered: "It is actually the residence of Kong Yuqiong Kong Old Demon, I didn't expect that she would live in seclusion here after being rumored to have been dead for decades!" ”
Then he walked into the mourning hall, looked around, looked at the empty coffin, and asked with an ugly face, "Where is the corpse?" How can a person die without a body? Tell me, where is your grandmother's body? ”
"I... I don't know! Uncle, I really don't know, na, look! I hurriedly took out the letter my grandmother had sent me and handed it to the middle-aged man.
"I calculated that the limit has come, and I also arranged the aftermath by myself, Kong Lao Mo is amazing, it seems that he has lived in seclusion here for decades, and he has already had a half-immortal cultivation, and people who cultivate like this will follow his word, it seems that she is really dead, but where is her body?" The middle-aged man frowned and was puzzled, and he was holding the letter paper and talking to himself.
"Uncle, uncle, let's... Why don't we hurry up, it's too heavy here, it's so cold! I tightened my jacket again, with a look of resentment. I kept slandering in my heart, when was it, I was still grinding here, I don't know if the Absolute Sun Array here has been activated?
"Let's go? can't go, alas, it was Zheng who was reckless, didn't understand what happened, and crashed into the dead battle, and it is estimated that he will have to explain here. ”
The middle-aged man surnamed Zheng glanced back at the team members behind him, his face full of self-blame.
"What? Captain, you are a monk of the Earth Soul Realm, can't you get out of this Raushzi big array? Xiaojing next to him exclaimed, his face full of disbelief.
"Earth Soul Realm? I didn't expect you to be a monk in the Earth Soul Realm, uncle, it's too bullish! My eyes widened in surprise.
"Little girl, isn't the Earth Soul Realm amazing? Your grandmother is a monk at the peak of the Heavenly Soul Realm, a land immortal-like existence, I don't know how much higher than my Earth Soul Realm, if I can say that I can get out of the big array she arranged, I can't believe it. ”
The middle-aged man smiled bitterly, then gritted his teeth and said: "Comrades, I hurt everyone, even if I fight for this old life, I must let everyone evacuate here safely, let's go!" ”
I remember that in my grandmother's notes, there was a secret passage that led to the outside world, but that road was also a life and death, and I didn't say it when I opened my mouth, so let's see if I can get out first.
"Little girl, what's your name? I'm still in college! On the way back, the middle-aged man looked sideways at me and asked.
"Uncle, I'm Zhao Qingnan, I'm sixteen years old this year, and I'm in my first year of high school. I also came here after reading my grandmother's suicide note, ready to send my grandmother on her last journey, but I didn't expect so many things to happen. I replied with mixed feelings.
"Alas, let's mourn and change, even the half-immortal level people have fallen, and fate is impermanent! I see that you have not cultivated, and you can see the last words in the letter and resolutely come here, which can be regarded as filial piety. Don't always call me uncle, my surname is Zheng Guodong, you can call me Uncle Zheng. ”
The middle-aged man introduced his identity, and then said, "Xiao Zhao, what's the matter with your ghost?" Can you tell Uncle Zheng about what happened to you when you came here? ”
"Uncle Zheng, I'm ......" I told everything once, but I didn't dare to say anything about my future husband, including that I was the body of the four yin.
"Alas, Old Demon Kong calculated that someone would take advantage of her serious injury to take revenge, so he set up a formation here, wanting to kill the enemy! That corpse handler is also a great devil, and he didn't even get on the trap. Think about it, recently there was a major incident in the Sun family, a branch of the Daomen, and the four masters, including the ancestor, suddenly died, could it be that Old Demon Kong did it? Zheng Guodong analyzed it and looked at my eyes seriously.
My heart was beating violently, but I was silent on the surface, this Zheng Guodong was tempting me with words, we can't be fooled.
"Uncle Zheng, I'm just an ordinary person, I don't even know how to cultivate, no matter who is grandma's enemy, I can't take revenge at all! Or would I worship you as a teacher? How about you teach me to cultivate? I replied.
"Uh, don't! I can't teach you, when you get out, you can hand over the ghost to me, and go to school honestly, ordinary people can live a much more chic life than us monks. Zheng Guodong listened to my words and waved his hand again and again, refusing my request.
