Chapter 21: The Devil

When asking the emperor to return to the throne, Jiang Cheng took a chance. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

I saw that his enemy, with falcon eyes and eagle nose, looked extremely gloomy.

"It's pretty much ......the same as I imagined," Jiang Cheng smiled slightly, and then continued to play the role of a survivor, being commanded to be busy and busy, and did not return to the tent to rest until late at night.

At this time, due to taking the medicine, the high fever of the slave girl had subsided, and there was only a little low-grade fever left in her body, which was already harmless.

"Coming back?"

For some reason, as soon as Jiang Cheng appeared, the slave girl's face instantly flushed.

"The thing is buried in the west corner of the tent, don't dig it out just yet. He didn't say what it was, but he believed the other party would know.

"Hmm. The slave girl nodded slightly.

"Sleep, tomorrow will be disgusting. He has been informed that tomorrow, the ruins of Panjiaji will be cleaned up along the straight road and this north-south traffic artery will be opened.

"Isn't that to move the corpses? those corpses are starting to decompose, when will they be moved? ”

"The solution they came up with is to set it on fire, burn it all the way and clean up all ......the way," after saying that, Jiang Cheng began to cultivate without waiting for an answer.

The next day, the men at the gathering place were divided into three groups.

The first group went to the mountains on the left to cut wood, the second group carried the felled firewood to the ruins, and the third group was responsible for burning corpses and clearing roads.

Jiang Cheng was divided into the second group, and his performance was still no different from ordinary people.

In this way, they were busy until dusk, and when they returned to the gathering place, they heard the roar of the new city lord: "No, it's too slow, it's too slow!"

"My lord, there are more than 300 survivors in total, and half of them are women and children......

"Then recruit, aren't there more than a dozen caravans coming one after another today? Recruit people from among them to help, and the price is easy to say. ”

After Ma Yuan received the order, he immediately went to negotiate with the caravan steward.

In the end, they did find a lot of helpers. Anyway, in the eyes of the caravan, the people under them are idle, it is better to earn some extra money, and in addition, they can leave as soon as possible by opening up the straight road, so they are very cooperative.

As a result, the speed of clearing the rubble has increased dramatically. The straight road only took one day to get through one-third.

"Xianggong, I don't think there's something right!"

When she returned to her tent at night, the slave girl reminded worriedly.

During this time, because the meridians were no longer blocked, her condition began to recur, but it did not deteriorate, and she will slowly recover after a while.

"What's wrong?"

"Crows, don't you see? Yesterday there were only a few bits and pieces, and today they are everywhere, and rats, scurrying like crazy. ”

"Normal. ”

Jiang Cheng's hand pointed to the outside of the tent: "Crows are scavengers, so many corpses, they will definitely attract them, and so are mice." Also, do you know what was the most terrifying thing after the disaster?"

"Beasts, lack of food and clothing?"

"Neither, it's the plague. On the ruins, so many corpses have no time to deal with, they will quickly attract rats, cockroaches, fleas, etc. within a few miles, or even dozens of miles, they will drill in and out of the corpses, wait for the dead bodies to be eaten, and then bring the poison to any place within a radius of dozens of miles, wells, rivers, granaries, and human settlements, and then, the infected people will bring the poison to more people, and eventually, this plague may affect countless people in a radius of thousands of miles, and no one dares to guarantee that they will survive......

"What then?" the slave girl's face changed slightly.

"The plague is easy to solve, as long as you avoid miasma, don't eat food that rats and cockroaches have touched, and boil water before drinking, you'll be basically fine. ”

"Oh!" the slave girl nodded slightly.

In fact, what Jiang Cheng said is a disaster that ordinary people will face. For Wu Xiu, the most terrifying thing is of course not the plague, that one will die.

What can really kill is the angry spirits that are entangled in anger above the ruins, and most of them have been transformed after these days of brewing.

Evil spirits have always wanted to eat people.

Start with the soul, then continue to devour flesh and blood to strengthen your body.

A few days ago, the burly man who suddenly fainted in the ruins was actually the earliest victim. It's just that the demon that appeared first at that time didn't really complete the mutation, so he was able to hold on for so many days without dying.

Fortunately, the evil ghost who had just completed the transformation would only act according to instinct and was very vulnerable, otherwise, even Jiang Cheng would have to leave everything behind and flee.

"Crows, bearded dogs, rats...... With so much flesh and blood delivered to the door, it's hard to guarantee that no evil ghost has successfully evolved into a powerful ghost......"

Thinking of this, he immediately took out the old locust wood heart hidden in the corner.

These wooden hearts were all intercepted by him when he was transporting wood in the past two days, and each one was more than 1,000 years old.

Huai is a yin wood, good at raising the soul.

The effect of the millennium wood heart is even more extraordinary.

Jiang Cheng cut them open one by one and took out the seven most essential sections, each of which was about three fingers thick and more than two feet long.

Then, he used the sword as the pen and the dark spirit as the ink, and carved dense patterns on it.

All the patterns are arranged in a very esoteric way, and eventually form a prohibition.

Spiritual Weapon!

That's right, Jiang Cheng was refining spiritual weapons.

Although it was extremely difficult, for him, who had received orthodox education since he was a child, there was no insurmountable difficulty in refining the unqualified spiritual weapon.

After successfully refining a piece of wood heart, he immediately started the next one.

And so, after an hour and a half, seven stakes, which were gray in color and did not look like anything new at all, were arranged in order before his eyes.

"Exorcism pile, should be able to cope with ......"

This spiritual weapon is recorded in the "Shadow Entry Detailed Law True Explanation", and its effect is to capture powerful ghosts and control and injure enemies.

In fact, refining this spiritual weapon itself is not difficult, even the carcass can be replaced with an easily available material like the old locust tree.

The real difficulty of it is actually to obtain the ghosts.

Except for a few people who went mad, three hundred years ago, few Dao cultivators dared to slaughter the entire bazaar in order to cultivate evil spirits. Therefore, even though this unqualified spirit weapon was very easy to refine, he hadn't thought about it before.

This time, it was a complete coincidence.

After the seven ghost exorcism piles were completed, Jiang Cheng carefully put them away, and as for the slave girl, from the very beginning, he used means to make the other party fall asleep, so he didn't see anything that shouldn't be seen.

The next day, the number of crows became huge, and like dark clouds, it swirled and rose over the ruins.

But they're not the scariest.

The most terrifying thing is the rats in the cracks of the bricks, only to see their red eyes gnawing on the dead corpses of people. When he saw the living, not only did he not panic and retreat, but he looked at them with an extremely strange expression.

"Steward Ma, this ...... Wrong ......"

When the third group in charge of burning the corpse saw this scene, they no longer dared to take half a step forward.

"You wait here, I'll go and ask the city lord. Ma Yuan's heart was also hairy.

No one noticed that at this moment, the dark clouds that had gathered over the ruins for several days had become pitch black.

It seems that something terrifying is quietly brewing.
