Half an hour later, in the back hall of the mansion.
Under Fu Dou's deliberate inducement and stimulation, the battlefield between it and Li Gang had long been moved outside the town.
Except for the people in the mansion who had personally experienced this terrifying scene, other people in the town were still enjoying this rare carnival, without any awareness of the approaching crisis.
Fortunately, after the demon was driven away, the strong man at the head sent someone to inform the government of what happened here.
According to the strong man, at least tomorrow at dawn, a special army will come to Jingfan Town to suppress those monsters.
By that time, neither the monsters of the circus nor humans can escape the suppression of the army.
It was during this process that Pei Wende learned that this strong man's name was "Wukang" and he was the vanguard general of a certain legion called "Shence Camp".
As for the men who fought with him against the monsters, they were also from the Shence Camp.
The reason why these soldiers from the Shence Battalion appeared in this mansion was because the deceased old man was the former battalion commander of the Shence Battalion and Wukang's maternal grandfather.
Today is the old man's seventieth birthday, and the people from Shence Camp came here specifically to celebrate his birthday.
But what Wukang and the others never expected was that the old man would be "killed" by Li Gang in the end, causing such a big commotion.
As for what Li Gang said, that the old man colluded with the monsters?
All members of the Shence Camp, including Wukang, did not believe it. They firmly believed that there must be some misunderstanding.
They even had 120,000 doubts about Li Gang's identity as "Sichen Envoy".
After all, Li Gang sneaked into the mansion first, so he was a "defeat" in every sense of the word.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………
"It's a shame that the old man fought countless battles in his life, and finally died in Xiaoxiao's hands like this."
Without hiding his anger, Wukang directed his teammates to clear the auditorium and put the old man's body in a safe place, while pulling the embarrassed Pei Wende and yelling loudly.
At the same time, the corpses of veterans holding bows and crossbows were also placed in the Shence camp, as well as the corpses of old, weak, women and children who were unfortunately killed by demons.
"The old man suffered a sudden disaster this time, and it was difficult to even save his body. It is really hateful!"
"It would be great if the military advisor was here. He would definitely find out the truth and clear this old man's name!"
"Should we find a way to hold a salvation ceremony for the old man?"
"He has always believed in Buddha. If an eminent monk can save him, he will definitely be reincarnated as soon as possible."
…
Hearing Wukang's roar, the soldiers from the Shence Camp next to him also echoed.
Especially regarding the burial of the old man, even if there is no way to get a complete coffin for the time being, we must first find a way to find two scriptures for salvation.
In this regard, this group of noisy strong men rarely reached an agreement on this point.
"Actually, if we talk about transcendence, I actually know a little bit about it."
At this moment, Pei Wende, who had been standing nearby and listened silently, raised his hand and said.
"Can you chant sutras for salvation?"
It's no wonder that Wukang showed such a surprised expression. Pei Wende really didn't behave like a mage who could transcend rituals.
Even if he was dressed in a standard Orion costume, he had just entered and exited seven times when dealing with monsters. His methods were fierce and his momentum was far more ferocious than the soldiers of the Shence Camp.
"Well, actually, if you really want to say it, I can barely be considered a lay disciple of Buddhism."
Pei Wende also knew that he did not behave like a mage.
Unfortunately, there seems to be no serious mage-like character in my lineage.
Needless to say about Zen Master Lingyou, his skinny appearance is just a symptom of his physical weakness, and his fiery temper is not inferior to his own at all.
The same was true for the monk Huiji who joined him later. After seeing the scene where the monk was exorcising demons in Mulian Temple, Pei Wende did not believe that the monk would be that kind of "frail" traditional mage.
Even himself, due to years of physical exercise, his physique and aura are not comparable to those of a mage in the traditional impression.
"But actually, I'm not good at any salvation rituals. I just know how to recite two rebirth mantras."
Pei Wende told the truth, but there was a little too much water in his truth.
The essence of the salvation ceremony is to hope that the soul will not be bound by the resentments of life and can go to the map to reincarnate with peace of mind.
However, Pei Wende's Rebirth Spell can directly bypass the ritual and directly achieve this step using scriptures with the power of thoughts and wishes. The effect is much stronger than the salvation ritual of ordinary mages.
"It doesn't matter. The old man liked to chant sutras and chant Buddha's name before he was alive. It would be nice if you could read a few paragraphs to him."
Wukang waved his hand carelessly, and Wukang, who didn't have high hopes in the first place, readily agreed with Pei Wende's opinion.
Wukang, who was bold and careful, felt that even if Pei Wende couldn't even recite the sutra in full, as long as he sat there and recited a few sentences, the panic atmosphere would definitely be relieved.
Because not everyone present was a soldier of the Shence Camp. The old, weak, women and children who were panicked by the appearance of monsters were the ones who really needed reassurance.
So in this day and age, what “reassurance” can be more reassuring than faith?
"If that's the case, then I'll give it a try."
Not knowing Wukang's private side, Pei Wende couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief after getting the other party's consent.
The reason why Pei Wende was so positive was, on the one hand, because the old man's death was a bit miserable, and he was also invaded by Fu Dou's evil spell. If he didn't deal with it further, something would definitely happen.
Whether the soul turns into a ghost or the corpse turns into a ghost, this is not what Pei Wende wants to see.
On the other hand, it was because Pei Wende always felt that things were not that simple. He needed to find out what happened here by chanting sutras and watching the old man's revolving door during his lifetime.
Whether it's Li Gang who is following him, or whether it's the misfortune of using the old man's body to manifest his soul...
There must be some unknown secret hidden in this. At least it is definitely not as simple as Chen Zhengdao said.
The fudou that wreaked havoc in Chang'an ten years ago, the former envoy Si Chen who was killed inexplicably, the demon hunter of Qintian Supervisor who came here to hunt for monsters, and the former battalion commander of the Shence Battalion...
If there was nothing fishy in this, Pei Wende would never believe it.
Pei Wende is not a careless "kid" like Li Gang. His experience in two lifetimes tells him that there must be some inside story that Chen Zhengdao has not explained.
