Rewind the clock to a few days ago.

In the city of Xucheng, which is thousands of miles away from the knocking mountain, there is a Huaiyin River outside the city, and there is a Meng village after the river.

There is a family living at the end of the village, in front of the house is a large wilderness, and further away is the barren mountains and forests, this will be a flock of sheep into the pen, the smoke curling, it is time to prepare dinner in the evening.

The man in this family is a strong man, and he has not yet entered the spring, but he is only wearing a single shirt, and a few beads of sweat slide down on the strong and bulging chest muscles, it turns out that he has just finished chopping firewood.

"Dad, let's have a bowl of rice first." A delicate girl stood at the table and called.

The strong man smiled heartily, and saw a large flock of wild birds flying out of the forest in the far distance, so he didn't care, turned around and sat down, and another simple woman was busy working by the stove, looking back at the father and daughter, full of comfort.

The girl went to help her mother, and the strong man drank a few sips of rice wine, knocked his fingers on the table and hummed, and suddenly heard something strange, as if a herd of bison was trampling on.

The movement intensified, and after a while, the table in front of the strong man also trembled, and the candles on the table shook, and the sheep outside the house began to panic.

The strong man looked at the fierce ripples of the rice wine, got up suddenly, and rushed to the door to look into the distance in the dim light under the nervous gaze of the mother and daughter.

The rumble was deafening, the strong man froze in place and was stunned, in front of him was thousands of cavalry rushing forward, like a yin soldier borrowing the way, black armor and black horse, a pole piercing the sky, and another color was red, and the stars were like the starlight of the night sky.

"Where did the soldiers and horses come from?!" The strong man gasped, turned his head mechanically, and said in a panic to his wife and daughter in the house: "Hide in the cellar!" ”

The woman realized the danger from her husband's look, and hurriedly pulled her bewildered daughter to the center of the house, where there was a hidden secret door at her feet, and after opening it, she let her daughter hide in it, and when she was halfway inside, she shouted to her husband: "Come in too!" ”

The strong man swallowed his saliva, nodded and wanted to look back at the black-pressed cavalry, but before he could fix his eyes, an arrow instantly pierced his head, and the arrow feathers carried out a trail of blood and then passed through the room, nailed to the innermost wall, and trembled to himself.

The woman covered her mouth and watched in horror as her husband fell, and the daughter under her asked, "Mother, what's wrong?!" ”

The woman hurriedly came back to her senses, suppressed the pain and fear of losing her husband, and walked down the wooden ladder with trembling eyes, not forgetting to close the secret door overhead, and then hugged her daughter tightly and motioned for her to be silent.

The rumbling sound swept through the house like a huge wave, and several wooden houses were precarious like leaves in the storm, but in the blink of an eye, the huge wave went away without stopping, and the mother and daughter huddled in the dark cellar, soaked and sweaty, hugging each other and listening to their rapid breathing.

The constant silence made the woman think that the danger was far away, but a few footsteps hit her weak heart like a hammer striking a bell. There was a strange roar, then the sound of flesh being torn apart, the sound of being devoured, and an irresistible image of her nausea in the woman's mind.

After a commotion, the monsters entered the house, their heavy gasps and sniffs already bringing the mother and daughter's spirits to the brink of collapse, while praying that the secret door would not be discovered.

A few footsteps disappeared, and just as the woman with wet hair mustered up the courage to look up, the secret door was violently opened, and the dim light shone in, and a rotting corpse in black armor was crouching by the door, holding a bloody head in his hand, it was none other than her husband.

The woman met the corpse's rolling red pupils and screamed in horror.

……

"Uncle Xiao, what is it called a fertilized egg?" Lu Guannan asked while brushing the pot in the courtyard.

"Ask your master to go." Zong Yang sat on a stool and leaned over, playing chess on the ground.

He just brought back that thing from the blue pool of the sword mound, and after showing it to the old guy in the ancient well, the old guy concluded at a glance that this thing was the dragon Bodhi, but after a closer look, he found that it had begun to give birth to a small earth dragon, and he was very surprised, but he said that it was a fertilized egg, but he didn't know whether the effect it contained was the same as those dragon Bodhi in the past.

"Oh." Lu Guannan put down the pot, and was really ready to go up the back mountain, walked half the way, ran back again, took out a jar of wine from the kitchen, and then went up the back mountain, and his brain was actually enlightened.

It didn't take long to hear a burst of angry scolding floating from the top of the mountain behind me: "It's okay, don't ask such a stupid question!" Can't you talk to the hens and ask them to go! ”

The old guy hasn't touched oil and meat for a long time, and when he saw Lu Guannan, he didn't get angry.

Lu Guannan walked back with a red face, and continued to brush the pot with a muffled sound.

"Guannan, what are you doing brushing the pot?" Zong Yang asked.

"Boiled that egg, such a big one, it should be cut, right? Uncle Xiao, do you say that it is better to boil or steam? Lu Guannan asked very seriously.

"Your uncle said that swallowing raw is the best supplement." Zong Yang hurriedly stopped Lu Guannan's idea of destroying the heavens and reminded.

"Swallow it raw?! Do you want to pick a time? Lu Guannan asked.

"It's too late." Listening to Lu Guannan's verbosity, Zong Yang's right hand itched for no reason, and he had the urge to swatt flies.

"Swallow what?" The voice of an uninvited guest rang out.

Zong Yang and Lu Guannan turned around together, but saw that it was the chief disciple of Qingqiu who was carrying a sword.

Lu Guannan was afraid that Long Bodhi would be exposed, so he hurriedly explained lamely: "It's swallowing eggs raw, hehe." ”

The chief disciple didn't care either, and said directly to Zong Yang: "Master is looking for you, come with me to Qingxiao Palace." ”

……

In the Qingxiao Palace, there are still eleven elder teachers here, but this time they are not arguing about the ownership of Long Bodhi, but are worried about a big matter.

The head of the house, Hanzi Niu, stood at the door of Qingxiao Hall with his hands in his hands, looked into the distance, and said in his mouth: "Heshan, the yin sting is fierce, and you really said it." ”

"Senior Brother Heshan, what's the situation like now?" Shi Taining Zhenying asked.

Heshan Zhengse said: "According to the news sent by the senior brother of Yizhenmen Qingqian, half of the city has fallen, and the defenders of several cities are uniting to resist, but tens of thousands of zombies have been gathered on the outskirts of the city, and the corpse poison is spreading like a prairie fire. ”

Shi Taining Zhenying frowned after hearing this, and said worriedly: "It seems that the neighboring small cities are also not guaranteed, judging from the topography, if the city is broken, the corpse tide will go all the way to the north, and if the Tiger Prison City in the north is lost again, then the river will be flat, and the corpse tide will be unstoppable, then it will be a catastrophe." ”

"In this way, I, Qingqiu, should quickly join forces with other Dao Sects to reinforce." An elder teacher named Zhou Yanqing said urgently.

"Senior Brother Yanqing, rest assured, the head of the family has already made arrangements." Heshan's face was calm, and the specific candidate matter was fully responsible for the amendment hall.

"Senior brother, why are there zombies over there?" Jing Hao asked.

Han Ziniu turned back to his seat and said: "According to historical records, there is a place called Yin Tu Ghost Ruins in the far distance south of the city of Xucheng, which is full of miasma all year round and deserted. It is said that thousands of years ago, a city was built on that land, and in the chaos of the empire, a certain general and tens of thousands of soldiers under his command built a large tomb in the city, and buried all of them alive according to some evil way, in order to turn into an immortal golden body and conquer the world. ”

"Thousands of years ago, these zombie armies really reappeared in the mortal world, and when the lives were devastated, the Quartet Taoist priests gathered and worked together to kill, forcing these zombie armies to drill back into the yin earth. In order to protect the peace forever, several Taoist priests who repaired for the purpose of setting up altars to exorcise evil spirits, inserted 10,000 soul locks at the border of the Yin Earth Ghost Ruins, and set eight Buddhist shrines in the Bagua position, which temporarily sealed the zombie army underground. ”

"Could it be that these things are failing?" Jing Hao guessed.

"Not necessarily." Shi Taining Zhenying has always been known for her intelligence in Qingqiu, and her eyes shot two cold lights, and she said, "It may also be the Demon Sect's doing." ”

"Demon Cult?" For Jing Hao, this is another unfamiliar name.

"Although the Demon Sect was destroyed before, but after nearly a hundred years, there is a possibility of a resurgence, in recent years, they have begun to move, and the last time Senior Brother Heshan was not injured by the white bones of one of the four demon kings of the Demon Sect." Yan Zheng, who was sitting on the right and was in charge of the Qingqiu Zhai Jiao ceremony, said.

Hearing this, Heshan held the arm of the chair tightly with his right hand, and his face was gloomy.

Han Ziniu nodded slightly, cleared his throat and said: "Whether it is the failure of the Great Array or the secret promotion of the Demon Sect, the top priority is to repel the tide of corpses, this time I will arrange for a generation of disciples to go, the list is already in the hands of Senior Brother Heshan, led by Senior Brother Jing Hao." In addition, I want the ten elite disciples of the second generation of disciples to go and practice together, hoping that when I come back, I can cultivate the Dao Heart to a higher level. ”

"Come in." Hanzi Niu called.

There were already people waiting outside the hall, and as soon as these people heard the call of the master, they hurried into the hall. They all heard about the corpse tide just now, and at this time they finally understood the purpose of the head of the family calling them, under the gaze of the rank elder teacher, they were called the elite by the head of the family and stood extremely tall with blazing eyes.

"Why are there only eight?" Shi Taining Zhenying asked.

"Chongwu naturally wants to go." Hanzi Niu stroked his beard and said with a smile, Chongwu is the name of the chief disciple.

"And what about the other one?" Shi Taining Zhenying didn't know what medicine was being sold in the gourd of the brother of the head of the family.

"It's not coming." Hanzi Niu got up to greet him.

At this time, the chief disciple Chongwu led Zong Yang to the front of the Qingxiao Palace.
