Chapter 427: After the Apocalypse
"Oh!"
Out of nowhere, a loud rooster crow sounded, piercing the silence of dawn.
The rooster sings that the world is white.
"Whoa, whoa!"
Soon, the cries of chickens continued to come out. Almost at the same time, on the streets and alleys, countless hanging white lanterns turned into ashes, turned into wisps of green smoke, blown by the wind, and then dissipated between heaven and earth, leaving no traces.
In this Panzhou City, the huge city mansion was completely shrouded in a gloomy atmosphere last night, and it was dark and heavy, and there was no light to see, which was very terrifying.
Fortunately, most of the people in the city were fascinated by the delusion, and they were immersed in a treacherous and strange dream early. It's just that the dream is too absurd. In the dream, there are bulls and horses, black and white impermanence, and all kinds of ghosts and evil spirits, which want to seduce them and drive them to the underworld, like driving herds of pigs and sheep
Thankfully, it was just a nightmare.
Most people didn't expect that they almost sank in their dreams, and they never recovered.
The day dawned, the rooster crowed, the dream woke up, people got up, and started a new day of livelihood and work, and the entire Panzhou Mansion, after being confined and suppressed for a night, finally started to operate again and regained its vitality.
Came to life.
Gu Fu, frightened all night.
It's really frightening, even if Gu Xuezheng is in charge.
Fortunately in the first half of the night, after Chen Tang left, after an hour, a lot of white lanterns appeared, with a big black character written on them: Lay!
That's the sign of the dead.
Behind each white-skinned lantern, there are shadows, condensing ghosts and ghosts.
The lantern is like a flag, and when it is planted there, it means that it occupies it. There are more and more of them, and they are constantly approaching the Gu Mansion. It didn't take an hour to hang up the streets outside the Gu Mansion.
Gu Heng sent Hakka soldiers to set up defenses, hung magic weapons, piled up wood, and burned several fires.
The flames are fierce, and they have a certain deterrent effect on ghosts.
Of course, the most effective thing is Gu Xuezheng himself. When people are there, the official spirit is there, and the ghosts surrounding the outside are all dead people in the city, and in the subconscious, there is an instinctive awe of the eunuchs.
Because of this, the two sides were able to hold each other for a while.
But in the second half of the night, the wind and clouds suddenly changed, and countless yin spirits seemed to have received some instructions, and began to become restless, and gradually became crazy, attacking the Gu Mansion like a tide.
A vicious battle is inevitable.
Fighting with ghosts and ghosts is different from the fight of swords and guns on the battlefield, but it is more dangerous, and the cowardly, just seeing ghosts, will be scared to the point of sore hands and feet.
But fortunately, with Gu Xuezheng in charge, relying on a few utensils left by Zhan Yangchun, and the hard work of a group of family members and doormen, Gu Fu finally carried it until dawn.
There is a rooster crying in the morning!
In fact, before this, the Gu Mansion had found that there was a problem with the besieging ghosts, and there were signs of retreating.
After a while, all the ghosts were gone, and the horrible white-skinned lanterns were gone.
The people immediately cheered loudly, and the cheers were mixed with the sound of crying.
In the courtyard outside the Gu Mansion, corpses were lying on the ground, stained with blood.
In this battle, more than 50 people were killed and wounded, including family soldiers, doormen, and some slaves.
Gu Xuezheng stayed awake all night, and his temples were two more frosty white. He was exhausted, supported by a will.
He knew he must not fall. Although I survived last night's catastrophe, there is still much more to come.
especially
"I wonder how the Governor is doing?"
Gu Heng was worried, he was indeed quite surprised at the beginning of Chen Tang's identity, but gradually accepted it. As long as Chen Tang can turn the tide and save the entire Panzhou, then he will be the savior of Panzhou.
"Ah Quan, Fu Mingjin, you send people to reconnoiter around to see if there are any ghosts and ghosts. Su Tao, you take someone to collect the corpses in the house, place them well, and then find someone to build a coffin and bury it. ”
As a student politician, Gu Heng has his own bearing, and soon issued an order and arranged it. Immediately, he ordered several clever family members to go to the city separately to inquire about the extent to which the entire state capital had been destroyed after last night's catastrophe.
Hopefully, there won't be too many casualties.
And the most important thing is about the safety of Chen Tang and others, I hope they can be safe, in that case, the Panzhou Mansion after this catastrophe will have the backbone and someone to preside.
In the City God Temple, everyone looked embarrassed. Whether it is the governor, or the monk, or the captain of the Yamen, etc. They all looked tired and wanted to die, and their bodies were more or less wounded.
Yan Huandan was simply in a state of coma, he was trapped by yin qi, which was fine, but some recuperation was inevitable.
As for Liyuan and the others, they are basically exhausted and their souls are damaged, so they have to rest well.
But now, it's not time to rest. Although Song Siming was suppressed, leaving this devastated city government was even more of a mess.
Zhan Yangchun looked at Chen Tang: "I'm back to the Taoist temple, get a good night's sleep, and sleep for three or five days." ”
Chen Tang hurriedly said: "You sleep for three or five days, what should I do in the city?"
Zhan Yangchun asked: "People's livelihood and political affairs, that's handled by you, the governor." ”
Chen Tang blinked: "But there are still many ghosts of the dead wandering in the city, and they cannot be reincarnated, so you monks need to set up altars and practice excessively." ”
"What the governor said is reasonable, and the poor monk will return to the temple and ask the presiding officer to send men to all parts of the city to do the law. ”
The edge of the two palms together.
Chen Tang was overjoyed: "Then there will be labor." ”
"You don't have to be polite. ”
As he spoke, he drifted away.
Chen Tang glanced at the Taoist priest: "Brother Zhan, look at it, this is the difference between high and low consciousness." At this time, what a good opportunity to gather people's hearts, collect incense, and gain fame."
Zhan Yangchun waved his hand: "You don't have to say it, the monks of Jinchan Temple have done it, and I have also done it in Fushan Temple, it's a big deal, I won't sleep anymore." ”
Chen Tang clapped his hands: "Right, fight to the death, there is always something to gain, otherwise, I can't help it." ”
Zhan Yangchun stretched out his hand, took out a ball, threw it into his mouth, and chewed it. After a while, his body trembled, and he became energetic, energetic, and the same as before.
When Chen Tang saw it, his eyes were hot.
Zhan Yangchun shrugged: "That's all there is left."
looks like he can't help it.
Chen Tang pursed his mouth and took out a seal, which was Gu Xuezheng's big seal.
When fighting with Song Siming, he used Yan Tongzhi's Great Seal and kept it for the Great Seal of Xuezheng in case of a critical moment. Now that he came out safely, he can be regarded as having survived the catastrophe, but he still has to clean up the big stall of the city government, and he can't rest. If you want to recover your body in a short period of time, the best way to think about it is to use it again.
The mind is moving, the official spirit is endless, and the breath is flourishing.
Zhan Yangchun saw it over there, his eyes widened: "You, you"
Only then did he realize that the official seal could be used like this. In comparison, the treasured divine power pill that he had just eaten in his stomach was nothing but a small thing.
After a while, Chen Tang, who was in high spirits, turned over and jumped on the rouge horse, and shouted: "Go, go to the Yamen!"
