Qian Wuliang led the soldiers to quickly evacuate the crowd and ordered the bodies to be cleared from the streets. The soldiers responded one after another and split up, and the streets quickly returned to calm.
The temple fair, which was originally bustling with people, became deserted at the moment. The piles of corpses and body parts scattered on the street looked particularly horrifying. Qian Wuliang looked at all this with emotion. He was grateful for his son's help just now, but also helplessly showed a trace of sadness.
"Zhongzhi, thanks to your help just now, otherwise we would have had another bloody battle." Qian Wuliang said with emotion, his tone full of complicated emotions.
"Dad, you and eldest brother have tried their best. This situation is not something you can solve." Qian Tu comforted him with a smile, knowing that his father's and his own efforts had reached their limit.
"However, it has finally been solved for the time being..." Just when Qian Wuliang was about to say that everything was solved, there was a sudden movement on the street.
A male corpse with its lower body missing suddenly moved. He supported the ground with both hands and raised his upper body, which was covered in blood. His face gradually turned pale, his eyes were bloodshot, and the veins on his forehead swelled, making him look extremely hideous and terrifying.
Everyone exclaimed, the soldiers were frightened and took a few steps back, while the people on the street turned pale with fright and kept backing away. As this corpse came to life, dozens of corpses stood up unsteadily. They twisted their bodies and rushed towards people ferociously, as if they only saw living people as prey.
"Not good." The expressions of Qian Tu and the woman in light green robes standing on the roof changed at the same time.
The boy's sword energy instantly shot through the air, heading straight for their heads and slashing away. However, the woman was even more swift. She waved her jade hand, and thunder and lightning came instantly, hitting the resurrected corpse in front of her with a deafening roar, and then the corpse turned into a pool of blood and flesh fragments flying.
Qian Tu's sword light was a little slower, and after falling into the air, it disappeared.
He frowned slightly, looking at the beautiful figure standing in the distance on the roof, and secretly praised in his heart: "It's so fast..."
The soldiers breathed a sigh of relief and saluted Qian Tu one after another, saying gratefully: "Mr. Qian, thank you for saving your life."
Qian Tu glanced at them and said, "Actually, it's not me, but someone else."
Having said this, he looked around. If it weren't for the mysterious woman who used the Five Yang Thunder Method, he might not have been able to deal with these resurrected corpses so smoothly.
The soldiers raised their heads after hearing the words and focused their eyes on Qian Wuliang. Qian Wuliang smiled and said confidently: "Hey, no matter who he is, Lingcheng's escape this time is inseparable from my son's care." Contribution. Okay, let’s sort out the corpses first, put them together as much as possible, and bring those that can’t be put together to the inn together, and notify the people of Lingcheng to claim the corpses!”
All the officers and men took the order one after another and began to act in an orderly manner.
Just as the soldiers were about to leave, Qian Tu suddenly stopped everyone.
Qian Wuliang looked at Qian Tu with confusion, and couldn't help but asked with some uneasiness: "What's wrong, Zhongzhi? What's the matter?"
Qian Tu said solemnly: "Dad, these corpses cannot be buried. Although some of them show no signs of being fake corpses, it does not mean that they will not be fake corpses. The soldiers must pull out all these corpses and those incomplete limbs." Go outside the city and burn them collectively! And the sooner the better!"
After everyone heard this, they couldn't help but feel chills running down their spines.
Even the dead may be resurrected if the body is claimed and buried. Everyone had just witnessed this scene and couldn't help feeling a little scared. If those corpses were resurrected again, the people of Lingcheng would suffer endless disasters.
But only by pulling them all outside the city and burning them can we ensure that everything is safe. In this way, the people of Lingcheng can feel at ease.
Therefore, the current situation is very critical and there is no room for hesitation. When Qian Wuliang heard this, his heart tightened and his face suddenly turned pale. He took a deep breath and nodded, with firmness in his voice: "What you said makes sense, we must take action immediately."
The soldiers answered in unison: "Yes!"
"And dad, please notify the city lord immediately and seal the city gate immediately. No one is allowed to leave the city gate!" Qian Wuliang ordered with a solemn expression.
"Why is this?" Qian Wuliang asked in confusion.
"From now on, everyone in Lingcheng will be strictly checked to see if they have been scratched or bitten by these three monsters. Once found, they will be isolated immediately. After all, you saw it just now. People killed by monsters can turn into monsters. , presumably there is corpse poison on them that is very powerful, and if it is not fully protected, it will also be on the living people. If they are not discovered in time, Lingcheng will really become a dangerous city."
After hearing Qian Tu's words, Qian Wuliang's expression became more solemn, his eyes flashed with a faint light, "Okay, I'll inform the city lord right away."
…
Inside and outside Lingcheng, it was like an impenetrable moat. The gates of the city were covered with defenders like iron walls and copper walls. Ordinary people could not enter or exit the city anyway. They could only stare at the city gate from a distance, filled with anxiety.
The city lord Li Zongping came up with a plan and decided to adopt Qian Tu's suggestion. He sent his soldiers to check the injured people door to door, and carefully cared for everyone in need of help.
Outside the city, soldiers carried stretchers desperately, piling up the bodies of fallen soldiers and civilians, and even some stumps and broken arms, in an open area.
There, the smell of blood condensed into a strong smell of death.
Half an hour passed, and a soldier holding a torch glanced at the pile of corpses, took a deep breath, and his eyes met Qian Wuliang beside him.
Qian Wuliang nodded slightly, and suddenly a raging fire rose into the sky, the flames swallowed up everything, and a burning smell suddenly filled the air.
The fire was raging, and the height of the flames seemed to touch the edge of the sky.
Qian Tu's eyes were a little complicated, and his heart was filled with thousands of words, but he didn't know how to express them.
At this moment, an elegant middle-aged man walked out of the city gate with several people in guard uniforms. Qian Wuliang saluted quickly, "Sir, why are you here?"
The man waved his hand slightly and said kindly: "It's okay, I just came to take a look. Thank you for your hard work, Coach Qian."
"This is a matter of duty."
The elegant man nodded, his eyes fell on the young man not far away, and he asked: "Instructor Qian, is that your second young master Qian Tu?"
"Yes, this is my son Qiantu."
"It is indeed a jade tree facing the wind."
With that said, he walked towards the young man, Qian Wuliang following closely behind.
The elegant man and Qian Wuliang walked slowly towards Qian Tu, who frowned. Qian Wuliang quickly introduced him to the elegant man: "Zhongzhi, this is the son of our city lord. Please pay your respects respectfully."
Qian Tu bowed slightly and saluted, and the elegant man said with a smile on his face: "Forget about these complicated etiquettes. In fact, I have been eager to meet you for a long time. It's a pity that I was busy with work and I didn't get back until today. I didn't expect it to be in this way." First time meeting."
The two exchanged a few words of greetings. After the initial conversation, Mr. Li Zhi, the son of the city lord, cast his eyes involuntarily towards the raging fire, with a trace of compassion flashing in his eyes, "Mr. Qian, do you know what that is? Actually, It’s so terrible that the people of Lingcheng like us can’t get a peaceful burial.”
"Human puppet!" Qian Tu muttered, this was the only name he could think of. The flames rose high, bursting out with terrifying heat waves, like lava in hell, swallowing up countless corpses in an instant. The ferocious flames emitted thick black smoke, as if they were like a demon.
Many years ago, Qian Tu accidentally read a miscellany called "Strange and Weird" in a bookstore, which recorded a kind of monster called "Human Puppet". At that time, he just regarded it as a bizarre legend and didn't pay much attention to it. However, it now seems that the existence of this kind of human puppet is so real that it is so terrifying that it is probably refined in large quantities.
"Human puppet? Human puppet?"
A trace of doubt and worry arose in Li Zhi's heart. He couldn't help but cast his eyes towards the evil fire. Even though he was far away, he could still feel the hot breath, as if it was the spokesperson of death and destruction.
"Absolutely. As far as I know, human puppets are made from living people. To put it bluntly, these people are given a strange poison that no one can cure except the person who made and refined the human puppets!"
Qian Tu's face was extremely ugly. He recalled the description in the miscellany. Every line of words seemed to be vividly written in his mind, making him feel endless fear and despair.
"I'm afraid there is another evil sect behind this puppet."
His voice was thick with heaviness and resentment.
Li Zhi was also filled with surprise and doubt. He could not easily believe what Qian Tu said, but faced with the tragic situation in front of him, he had to admit that there might be unimaginable conspiracy and evil hidden in it.
"Mr. Qian, are you sure? If what you say is true, then the matter will be serious!"
There was a hint of trembling and uneasiness in his tone, and the fear in his heart was gradually spreading.
The raging fire was raging in the sky, like a ferocious giant beast with its bloody mouth open, and the existence of human ghosts was like a heavy cloud, shrouding everyone's heart, making people feel a sense of Feelings of powerlessness and hopelessness. This disaster seems to have just begun, and Lingcheng will fall into endless darkness.
"I never thought that you actually know the art of human puppetry?" A graceful woman appeared in front of everyone, like a bright comet streaking across the night. Her eyes were as bright as starlight, and she wandered around in the firelight, and then focused on Qian Tu, with a hint of interest, "The sword energy you just displayed is really breathtaking. Are you the successor of the sword?" Her voice is like the sound of nature, clear and moving.
This girl is the woman in green who used Yang Five Thunder Technique as a trick earlier. She is wearing a flowing green dress, as if she is a reborn fairy. There was a hint of coldness between her brows, and her delicate hands flicked her long hair, just like the breeze blowing through the strings of a piano, bringing a quiet melody.
"What a nice view!"
Qian Tu was stunned, as if time had frozen at that moment, he was completely attracted by her beauty. However, he quickly came back to his senses and hurriedly formally handed over his hand and said: "I'm going to give you a picture of Qian, named Zhongzhi. Thank you female Taoist friend for helping me just now!" His voice trembled slightly, with a hint of admiration.
However, upon hearing the word 'Qian Tu', the girl suddenly raised her eyebrows and her eyes turned cold, "Are you Qian Tu?" Her voice was filled with a hint of disgust and coldness.
Seeing her sudden change, Qian Tu was confused, "Yes..." Before he could finish his words, the woman suddenly took action! Her movements were as fast as lightning, with a cold aura.
