Just as Li Zangfeng had worried, it didn't take long for the nearby city to become chaotic.
The monks from the evil alliance appeared from time to time. They sneaked into the gathering places of mortals, carried out destruction by any means, and caused one tragedy after another.
The local government and the town were in a panic, arresting and killing members of the evil alliance, but in the end they suffered heavy casualties.
The atmosphere of tension and panic continued to spread towards the surrounding area.
The city where Tang Zhen was located also strengthened its security and recruited a large number of warriors and mortal soldiers to deal with the increasingly complex situation.
Everyone knows that mortal warriors are no match for monks and can only be regarded as cannon fodder in a real fight.
As for the monks in the Zhenfu Division, they had already received other urgent tasks and all left the city.
Ordinary people's lives are even more difficult. They have no ability to affect any current situation and can only passively wait for disaster to come.
But everything is business as usual in the blacksmith shop. The only change may be that Liu Qing's food is getting better and better.
Tang Zhen was not stingy in his praise and said that if the blacksmith shop could not continue, he could consider opening a restaurant.
Liu Qing could only smile bitterly at this kind of compliment, but did not dare to say anything more.
During this time, she became more and more aware of how terrifying Tang Zhen was.
Although he dresses like a mortal and reveals his philistine appearance as a businessman from time to time, these are just illusions.
The real Tang Zhen is a terrifying monster who makes people think that there is no danger and can even be bullied and kneaded at will.
But if you really do this, you are a fool and you will definitely die miserably.
"big liar!"
Liu Qing thought to herself, then turned to look at the blacksmith.
When they first met, Liu Qing could blow him to death in one breath, which was not worth mentioning at all.
Unexpectedly, not long after the incident, the blacksmith's strength had undergone tremendous changes, which made Liu Qing feel a faint sense of fear.
Today's blacksmith's image has changed drastically, like a condensed flame, with an aura that makes people feel oppressive.
It's like a terrifying giant lava beast that can burn everything in the world.
Spirits are afraid of flames and avoid them as much as possible, but this is not the case with the blacksmith.
He deliberately used a method similar to suicide, constantly absorbing and smelting flames, so that he could become one with the flames.
This method can be called a miracle, at least in the eyes of Ghost King Liu Qing, there is no possibility of success.
The blacksmith's current strength is still not as good as his own, but it is only temporary.
If he continues to improve at this rate, it may not take long before he is ready to be crushed by the blacksmith.
Fortunately, the stupid blacksmith only likes to make iron, and knocks on it from morning to night every day, and doesn't care about other things at all.
Liu Qing was secretly wondering what kind of food to prepare for the evening when she heard Tang Zhen's voice coming over.
“Recently, nearby cities have been uneasy, and I’m afraid we won’t be spared either.
Fate of the nation, everyone is responsible.
As a resident of this city, we naturally have the responsibility to protect the safety of the city, whether human or ghost.
From now on, you can take to the streets at any time and actively participate in actions to protect the city. "
Liu Qing was stunned for a moment, and then her face was full of surprise, as if she had escaped from the sea of suffering.
"Does that mean I don't need to cook anymore?"
Tang Zhen smiled and said in a kind tone: "You still have to cook. After all, that is your main job, and protecting the safety of the city is only secondary."
"I knew it would be like this..."
Liu Qing muttered, but did not dare to complain, lest she would be punished by Tang Zhen.
The feeling of being burned could kill someone.
Subconsciously looking at the blacksmith, I saw that he was still guiding the blue flame in the furnace. After rotating inside the body for a week, he then struck the iron ingot with the hammer.
The fuel in the stove is called Qinggang Carbon. It burns at an extremely high temperature and is highly valuable and precious.
At the same time, it also has special effects, which can smooth the blood vessels and remove evil, cold and dampness from the body.
Those high-ranking officials like to light green steel charcoal when the weather is cold, which not only keeps them warm, but also increases their longevity and health.
But in the blacksmith shop, using such precious fuel to burn the stove is really luxurious to the extreme.
Calculating the income and expenses of the blacksmith shop, it is already at a serious loss. Under normal circumstances, it may not be long before it closes down.
"It's better to close the door..."
Liu Qing cursed secretly in his heart, but he also knew that it was just an extravagant hope. Even if the entire city was razed to the ground, the blacksmith shop would not delay its business.
As soon as he walked out of the blacksmith shop, he saw three people walking on the street. They were the captains of the street patrol warriors.
Seeing Liu Qing at the door, the patrol captain was stunned for a moment, then quickly bowed and saluted.
"Meet my aunt!"
After knowing Liu Qing's identity, Li Zangfeng investigated her past and discovered that she was originally a courtesan from hundreds of years ago.
Because of an encounter with a heartless man, Liu Qing took poison and died, eventually becoming a ghost king.
Knowing that Liu Qing was an old man who was hundreds of years old, the patrol captain became extremely natural when he called her aunt again.
"What's going on with you three?"
During this period of time in the blacksmith shop, Liu Qing's anger was almost polished away. Coupled with the fact that he was in a good mood today, he responded to the patrol captain.
"If we go back to my aunt, we'll pick up the custom-made weapons. It's already the stipulated time."
Upon hearing Liu Qing's inquiry, the patrol captain said quickly without any hesitation.
"Um."
Liu Qing nodded and did not leave directly, but asked for news about other cities.
Because of the recent chaos, news was delivered very frequently, and the patrol captain naturally heard about it.
He hurriedly recounted the news, mentioning everything that came to his mind and leaving out almost nothing.
Liu Qing looked thoughtful, then waved to the patrol captain.
"I understand, go ahead and get busy."
As soon as he finished speaking, the person disappeared without a trace.
When the patrol captain and others saw this, their faces showed envy, and they also yearned for the world of cultivation.
I just lament that the road to spiritual practice is difficult to reach the sky. Ordinary people are simply not qualified to access it. Many times, they need to look at opportunities.
In fact, even if you become a monk, you will be born at the wrong time, because today's spiritual world is a meat grinder.
Maybe at some point, he will lose his life.
Liu Qing is currently wandering around the city, looking for hidden evil monks, and then eradicate them.
Not only did she complete Tang Zhen's order, she could also gain benefits, allowing her strength to increase faster.
The increasingly powerful blacksmith made Liu Qing feel pressured and he couldn't wait to improve his cultivation level.
She had dark thoughts, fearing that she would perform too poorly and become the blacksmith's tonic for upgrading.
Continuously improving your strength and pleasing Tang Zhen is the real way to protect yourself.
While I was thinking about it secretly, I felt a cold breath coming from the house in front of me.
"Sure enough, he snuck in and couldn't wait to start causing trouble. He really didn't take me seriously!"
Liu Qing snorted coldly, like a lion whose territory was offended, stirring up the fire in his heart.
In a flash, the figure had entered the courtyard, and then he saw the ground covered with corpses.
An evil monk was killing people and sucking blood, with a ferocious look on his face. When he saw Liu Qing suddenly appeared, his expression instantly turned dull.
First of all, he was surprised by Liu Qing's appearance, and secondly, he was shocked by Liu Qing's strength, and he didn't understand the purpose of her sudden appearance.
Liu Qing sneered and swung a hammer, hitting the evil monk until his brains exploded!
