040 Body porter
In the past few days, even the after-dinner conversation in Cloud City was about the disaster of this monster migration.
Chen Ping didn't need to deliberately inquire to know the general situation.
Lianyun City has lost contact with Qingyun Sect, and he doesn't know what the situation outside is for the time being.
This means that the city defense has lost its backbone and support.
In Lianyun City, the leader of the city defense was killed in this disaster. Not only that, many city guards were also not spared, and some of the remaining city guards could not resist the temptation of looting during this time, and joined the looting army one after another, and their status in the hearts of the scattered cultivators plummeted.
The city's defenses were almost in disarray, making it difficult to sustain themselves.
Lianyuncheng is in an unprecedented state of disorganization, or in other words, it is difficult for the organization to maintain the order of the existing Lianyuncheng.
In this disaster, no less than one-fifth of the population of the entire Lianyun City died.
The demon beast came too suddenly, and it was late at night, and many people didn't have time to escape. In particular, the scattered repairs near the eastern wall of the city were almost unspared.
There was a major reshuffle in Lianyun City's scattered residences, and a large number of scattered cultivators moved closer to the center, each finding an uninhabited house to live in temporarily, and those places closer to the city wall were basically empty.
After several days of looting, the empty houses that have lost their owners have basically not been ransacked, and the phenomenon of rummaging through boxes and cabinets in other people's homes has gradually decreased, which is no longer rare.
No matter how much I flip through it, I can't find any treasures.
Lianyun City began to calm down.
Because of the collapse of a large number of houses, when people come back from the frenzy of looting, they start to reconsider their lives, livelihoods, and spiritual matters.
After all, no matter how chaotic the past is, life has to go on.
On the sixth day after the disaster, Yu Qingyi gathered more than 40 families near the street.
"Ladies and gentlemen, there are a lot of expectations for the city defense for the time being, and now Lianyun City has become calm, and we have to continue to live. The old man suggested that the neighbors should work together to at least maintain the order of the street. ”
Yu Qingyi is highly respected in the entire scattered cultivation area, not to mention that it is on this street, so it is basically a response.
Everyone agreed.
Chen Ping was secretly glad that he had chosen a good house. In such a situation, it is best to have someone with enough strength and prestige to stand up and lead the crowd.
Many of the streets are still in an atmosphere of tension, disorder or confusion.
"What do you suggest? The monks of this street formed their own patrols? In this case, Brother Ben is willing to serve as the leader of the patrol squad. One of the monks was eager to try.
"I think it's a priority to unite with other streets to set up a temporary trading market, and it doesn't hurt to be small, otherwise life will be unsustainable." There was a monk who made a lot of money.
“……”
Yu Qingyi finally said:
"You Dao friends are reasonable, but these are not the most urgent, you can wait and see. The most urgent thing is to restore the entire street as before. Fellow Daoists can take a look, the corpses on the street are still in place after so many days, the stone road is still potholed, and the broken walls in some places even block the road... What is this system? These must be cleaned and repaired. In this way, the street can be restored to normal, so that those monks who have evil thoughts will not dare to make a mistake. ”
"What do you think?"
Yu Qingyi is reasonable... Chen Ping said secretly.
It is also that Yu Qingyi does not understand the concept of later generations, otherwise he would definitely know that this is called the "broken window effect".
As long as the street was in shambles, the monks didn't mind throwing an extra stone. However, if the whole street is clean and tidy, it will have a positive effect.
There is a potential deterrent to gangsters.
Because Yu Qingyi was highly respectful and reasonable, the plan was quickly passed.
Someone suggested going to Fang City to find mortal laborers or the lowest level of qi practitioners.
But it was quickly denied.
At this time, not to mention that many low-level mortals and qi cultivators could not escape this catastrophe. For those who survived, under the redistribution of benefits, there were some people who did not lack a little money at present, and some low-level monks were unwilling to take risks. And those who are willing to come out have long been divided between the Western District family and those businesses in the city.
You can only do it yourself.
The next step is the division of labor.
There are those who go out of the city to transport stones, those who clean up blood stains, those who pave street floors, those who dispose of corpses, and those who clean up the ruins and remnants of public areas...
Chen Ping, as a young and strong man, was assigned the job of carrying the corpse.
Chen Ping didn't say anything, and it was natural to contribute to his own living environment.
It is possible to escape danger, but not responsibility.
"Chen Daoyou, let's go. These tasks are not much, do it early and rest early. A strong middle-aged monk greeted Chen Ping.
"Fellow Daoists, wait a minute, it'll be fine right away."
Chen Ping replied without raising his head, and was busy pasting talismans on himself.
Lifted up the robe and posted a talisman on both legs, which he had a lot of. After sticking to the legs, I did the same on my arms. Then put the excess on your chest.
The same is true for evil charms.
As long as these talismans are not destroyed, they can be reused forever, which is perfect for self-defense.
The strong man Daoyou on the side couldn't help but sneer: "You, you don't know, you still think that Daoyou is going to cross the endless forest!" ”
That's it.
Cleaning up the corpses!
Chen Ping just smiled, and was busy... Those corpses have been dead for five or six days, and who knows if the resentment has dissipated or whether it has become evil?
Moreover.
I also went to bury the body outside the city, the danger is definitely not low!!
......
It was early winter, and although Lianyun City, which was at the southwest end of the Ethereal Continent, was not flooded with heavy snow and winter moons, the temperature began to plummet and the wind was cold.
In such weather, the corpses that had been dead on the street for several days did not decompose, but were somewhat stiff.
Such a corpse is not difficult to carry.
What Chen Ping and his companions needed to do was to carry the body to a wooden cart, and then pull it outside the city to bury it, and the rest of the task would not be theirs.
The neighborhood has a clear division of labor.
'Huh? What is it? ’
There's actually a low-grade spirit stone. Unexpected surprises, it's nice. ’
Chen Ping put the corpse and silently confiscated the spirit stone... Less is a little less, but fly meat is also meat, and a little adds up to a lot.
He carefully carried several corpses, and then pulled them out of the city with a few fellow Daoists.
The further east you go, the more trampled the streets become, no less than a major earthquake, far worse than the western side, and the ruins are everywhere you look.
'I am afraid that it will not be easy to build this city again, I am afraid that it will take a lot of time. ’
'I am afraid that it will be difficult to completely recover from the chaos in a short period of time. ’
Chen Ping thought to himself.
Out of the city, he walked a distance in the direction of the forest, but the closer he got to the forest, the more gloomy he felt, Chen Ping touched the evil talisman in his arms, and he was a little hot.
"Just bury it here, you can't go any further." Chen Ping proposed.
"What Chen Daoyou said is extremely true."
"That's exactly what I mean."
“......”
A few other teammates chimed in.
"Good friends, I'll look for you next time I cooperate." Chen Ping gave them a thumbs up in his heart.
... If you want to be such a Taoist friend all over the world, why can't you work together on the way to immortality?
... Such a monk is the right path in the world.
A certificate should be issued!
"Everyone, hurry up, my evil talisman is a little hot." One monk also noticed the anomaly.
Having just experienced the passage of demon beasts and evil spirits, most of the monks still had lingering palpitations in their hearts.
No one wants to take unnecessary risks.
Chen Ping took the opportunity to ask:
"Have you been here before? Are evil charms so easy to heat up? ”
If the evil charm is hot, it means the existence of evil spirits.
The evil one, the charm of the ghost.
The evil is strange and unpredictable, the traces are difficult to find, the world knows very little about it, and it is often more difficult to deal with than the demon cultivators, demon paths, and evil cultivators who can see their shapes.
Some evil spirits are only for the remnant soul and will not hurt people, but some evil spirits are fierce and the danger factor is very high.
"I've been here, why haven't I been, I've been to the forest for dozens of miles, not like now." Daoyou said while digging a pit.
Chen Ping was clear.
I'm afraid that the number of ghosts and ghosts in the forest has increased... Maybe they didn't cross the border completely, or maybe they migrated back from the depths.
This is not good news for Lianyuncheng.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit heavy, Chen Ping intended to enliven the atmosphere for everyone, so he said:
"Hurry up and dig it, if it's too late, this pit may be what I'm waiting for."
Thereupon.
Hey, hey...
The crowd was silent and digging the pit faster.
These teammates,
Awesome!!
