Qi State, Jing'an.
On this day, a group of people came on the road outside the city.
More than twenty warriors, plus two Taoist priests.
"Jing'an is a small city, the only place you must pass when entering Beijing. Because of this convenient condition, it was very prosperous at one time. I came here many years ago and got along very well with the city guard. However, things have changed and people are in chaos. It must have declined. …”
The white-faced man strode along and talked loudly, and the others listened attentively.
After Zhang Meng founded the Tianlei Sect, he accepted ten direct disciples, and they are all now prominent figures in the world. The white-faced man is the fourth eldest, and is usually addressed as Fourth Senior Brother under the sect leader.
"Fourth Senior Brother, since you are so familiar with the city guard, can you let us rest in the city for two days? After we come out, we have nothing to do but sleep in the open. I miss my bed so much now." A disciple said.
"It's been so many years, and I've caught up with zombies causing trouble again. I don't know if he's still there. Besides, even if he's still there, people may not buy my face." The white-faced man said, while taking the Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the two Taoist priests.
In the minds of everyone in the Tianlei Sect, these are two lucky guys. Being taken on the road with them is a blessing that has been cultivated in eight lifetimes. But along the way, neither of them responded at all.
Although he didn't take these two seriously, he didn't care whether he was admired by the charlatan. But that kind of indifference is still somewhat uncomfortable.
"With the name of Fourth Senior Brother, how can you not buy it? Regardless of whether the city guard is there or not, the result will be the same." Another disciple said, "I don't think the people in Jing'an City are like the villagers. Uninformed."
As soon as this statement came out, there was an immediate chorus of agreement.
"Yes, Fourth Senior Brother is such a figure that everyone is in awe of him. That is to say, there is no talent in Qi State, and everyone is too ignorant. In the early years, the most famous one was an eunuch, who was known as one of the top ten masters, but he is also dead now .”
"What are the ten great masters? It's just old history. The top ten direct descendants of the Tianlei Sect are more famous than the previous top ten great masters."
"Hey, the ten great masters have died a long time ago, and I don't know if there are still alive. Even if there are still alive, I'm afraid they are no match for the fourth senior brother."
"That's right, the Iron Eagle Sect Sihai Gang is a sect of the top ten masters. But their sect leaders were all defeated by the Seventh Senior Brother. And in the big competitions in the sect, the Seventh Senior Brother has never won. Fourth senior brother."
"The leader was defeated, and those old guys didn't come out to make trouble. As far as I can see, they are all in vain. Comparing them with the elites of our Tianlei Sect is an insult to several senior brothers..."
"Don't talk nonsense." The white-faced man enjoyed the compliments from his junior brothers, but he still corrected some of their statements.
"Most of the ten great masters are actually still alive, but many of them have escaped from the world and are not known. Some of them have just changed their identities, and their former names have been forgotten."
"Yeah?"
"Senior brother, tell me, who are these people now?"
Everyone was dubious, and even more curious.
"The man you just mentioned, Eunuch Qi of Qi State, is indeed no longer here." The white-faced man smiled mysteriously. "But as far as I know, besides him, there are at least seven other top ten masters alive."
Everyone was surprised.
"Let me talk about you two first. You must know it, and some of you have seen it." The white-faced man said, "When Tianlei Sect was first established, the sect leader's senior brother and a friend came to congratulate him. You know it."
Everyone nodded.
"You only know that one of them is the sect master, but you don't know that he is Guan Sheng, the leader of the ten great masters. There is also the one with him named Dou Qianli, who is also one of the ten great masters."
The white-faced man broke the shocking news when he came up, and everyone in the Tianlei Sect was naturally shocked.
"There is also the old master Sun of Baisheng Hall, who retired a year ago. Not to mention you young people, many old people in the world thought he was dead." The white-faced man continued, "But in fact he is still alive. Seclusion in the Tomb of the Living.”
"Oh! I've heard of it," someone suddenly said, "The only second-generation disciple of Xuanxin Zongzong is the disciple of the old Hall Master Sun, and the former Hall Master of Bai Sheng Hall."
"Since we are talking about Xuanxin Zhengzong, you know the remaining four even more." The white-faced man said, "The four elders of Xuanxin Zhengzong are all among the ten great masters."
"What?"
"A person from Xuanxin Zongzong?"
"How can it be……"
The disciples of Tianlei Sect were even more shocked.
"Those four are considered strange people. It's not surprising that you don't know." The white-faced man said, "Iron Eagle Sect, Sihai Gang, and Da Feng Pavilion, these famous sects were founded by those four. But the battle at Siyin Mountain After that, they withdrew from the world and turned to tomb robbing. During that period, their original name began to fade away."
"Tomb robbery?" Everyone in the Tianlei Sect looked at each other, unable to figure out the twist in this.
"It involves some secrets of the world. I only know that it is related to Siyin Mountain, and I don't know much about it." The white-faced man said, "But later they all followed the Yan Sect Master and became the founding elders of the Xuanxin Sect. And then there will be more You all know the matter."
The disciples of Tianlei Sect were shocked when they heard this, digesting this little-known information.
"You see, there are some things you shouldn't say nonsense. The ten great masters have been famous for hundreds of years, and each one is a simple person." The white-faced man said, "Every master has been to Peng Lai. Just for this reason, no one You can underestimate them. The Eunuch Qi of Qi State died at the hands of a general. The general became seriously ill and died soon after."
"I think I've heard of the general you mentioned." One person thought, "When Xuanxin Zhengzong was founded, it was that general who went to congratulate the emperor on behalf of Qi, right?"
"That's the one." The white-faced man said, "Those who have been to Maoshan in the past have more or less benefits. For example, the old man, the sect master, watched thunder and enlightened the Tao in Maoshan. Only the general didn't get anything. He died a violent death after he returned.”
"Hiss... there is such a thing. Fourth senior brother, is everything you said true?"
"There may be some discrepancies in the details, but the general picture is correct." The white-faced man lowered his voice, "Including the zombie rebellion in Qi State, several of us discussed it before leaving. Although there is no basis, I'm afraid It also has some relationship.”
The old Taoist priest raised his head and glanced at the white-faced man for the first time.
Although I added a lot of conjecture and guesswork, I accidentally hit the key point.
The zombie chaos in Qi is really related to that general.
It just has nothing to do with respecting Penglai or not, but the emperor of Qi himself did the evil.
As the king of a country, he carries the destiny of the dynasty, and every move he makes will affect the destiny of the country. As a result, it happened to be a coincidence, which harmed Commander Meng who was very lucky. This disaster was triggered by the strong backlash.
However, according to normal derivation, Commander Meng was reincarnated and became a son of a powerful family, shaking the foundation of Qi through military disasters. Nowadays, the way zombies are everywhere is not under the original law of the great road.
"This matter must be related to the spirit of Qingzhou, but under the circumstances, it helped me complete the fate. Things have yang and yin, and they can never exist alone. Xuanxin Zhengzong has the responsibility of helping to establish the Yin Division, but There is one less dark side in the human world. The appearance of zombies just strikes a balance. Such a coincidence is extremely interesting..."
Su Qing did not think deeply about this problem and looked at the city close to Chi Chi.
As I thought before, just let nature take its course. But this small Jingan City should bring some unexpected things to those people.
…
"here……"
Walking into Jingan City, everyone looked at each other.
The city gate was guarded by heavily armed soldiers, which everyone in the Tianlei Sect expected. What I didn't expect was that the soldier had no intention of checking his identity. He only urged them to enter the city quickly, and if they had anything to say, they could talk about it after they entered the city.
If you weren't confident in your strength and the sun was shining brightly at noon, you would probably think there was some conspiracy. After arriving in the city, they were even more stunned.
I dare not say how lively the streets are with the busy traffic, but they are not deserted at all.
All shops and restaurants are open for business, and there are also vendors selling food on the street. It's just that it's relatively quiet overall, and you can't hear the loud hawking.
While he was dazed, an official came forward with a few soldiers.
"You must be the righteous warriors who came from afar to slay demons." The official bowed his hands politely, "I am a local magistrate. My surname is Xia. Just call me Lao Xia. According to the rules, please report your name and origin. If It would be better to have a token to prove your identity.”
The white-faced man said nothing and only took out the Tianlei Sect's waist card.
When Xia Dianli saw the waist card, his attitude suddenly became more respectful. The identities of the others were no longer bad, and they bowed their hands again and saluted, "It turns out that he is a righteous man of Tianlei Sect, but I have really neglected you. Everyone is tired from the journey, so I will arrange a banquet to welcome you."
As he spoke, the arrangements were made without any intention of delaying. Everyone in the Tianlei Sect was very happy, feeling that they had finally met the wise man.
However, the white-faced man felt strange and couldn't help but ask, "Xia Dian, I have a question, I hope you can answer it."

Official Xia Dian said with a smile: "The righteous man wants to ask why the city is so lively? And it's not like those in other places that exclude outsiders?"
The white-faced man nodded. "When we first entered the city, we didn't have time to reveal our identities. The guard who let us in must not be related to the Tianlei Sect."
"Of course not." Official Xia Dian said, "Speaking of which, this is all the credit of the city guard. When zombies first appeared, he announced the closure of the city. He also ordered soldiers to guard the barracks and did not rush out of the city to encircle and suppress... …”
Although Xia Dianli's tone was very calm, he obviously meant to show off. I talked a lot without stopping, as if I had memorized it in advance.
A group of people nodded repeatedly after hearing this, deeply impressed by the wisdom of the city guard. It's just that the white-faced man heard it, but he always felt that something was wrong. But then, from Xia Dianli's words, he heard that the city guard was his old friend, and he felt a little more proud and close to him. This doubt was quickly put to rest.
When Xia Dianli learned from the white-faced man about his old friendship with the city guard, he was a little surprised, and even more respectful.
Everyone is enjoying themselves here, but something is wrong with the two Taoist priests.
"Master, something is wrong." The young Taoist priest whispered to the old Taoist priest.
"Did you find it?" The old Taoist priest looked at the little Taoist priest.
It's not that I heard anything from Xia Dianli's words. The little Taoist priest doesn't have that kind of experience in the world. But since entering the city, I felt something was very wrong.
"Although it's not obvious, there is a smell of blood. There is also the smell of corpses, which is even more obvious." The little Taoist priest said with a serious expression, "There are zombies in the city. Just...in the southeast..."
The little Taoist priest's voice was not very loud, but it was enough to be heard by others. Before the old Taoist priest could speak, a group of people laughed.
"I said, little brother, look over there." Someone pointed to the southeast.
"Yes, there are zombies over there." The little Taoist said.
"Look with your eyes, can you see anything?" someone else said.
"Eyes? You can't see." The little Taoist priest looked in the direction and saw nothing.
"Butcher's shop." A Tianlei Sect disciple said helplessly, "Even if you don't know how to read, you can still see it. Being so close to the butcher's shop, of course there is the smell of blood."
"It's different." The little Taoist priest insisted, "I'm talking about the bloody smell of human blood, and the smell of corpses... In short, it must be a zombie."
"Where did the zombies come from? Haven't you seen so many people? Even if they don't come out during the day, they will come out at night. If there are really zombies, how can there be anyone in the city?"
"I know how this little Taoist priest saved his life. It was this vigilance. Brothers and sisters, we should all follow suit..."
Faced with the little Taoist priest's persistence, everyone in the Tianlei Sect made fun of him. He didn't notice at all how flustered Xia Dianli's eyes were.
However, Xia Dianli quickly covered up the past, and in the name of preparing a banquet, asked people to take everyone to the restaurant, while he hurried to the Yamen, in the southeast direction.
"My lord, my lord, trouble is coming..." Xia Dianli broke into the back hall and bumped into the city guard who was about to go out.
"What a state of panic." The city guard was very angry.
"Tianlei Sect, people from Tianlei Sect..." Xia Dianli ran out of breath.
"Didn't you send someone to report it before? There's nothing to panic about." The city guard said angrily, "I'm about to go see them."
"No, no..." Official Xia Dian took a breath and said hurriedly, "Someone among them noticed that there were zombies in the city and determined their approximate location."
"Ah?" The city guard was surprised, "Where are they? Are they here?"
"Not yet..." Xia Dianli recounted the process, and finally said: "It seems that only the two little Taoist priests have noticed it, and the others have not noticed it yet. But they came together after all, and I am afraid they will come to check sooner or later."
"Don't panic yet." The city guard was still calm. "From what you said, those two Taoist priests should not be from the Tianlei Sect. They just happened to meet them on the way."
"Isn't it Tianlei Sect? Is it Xuanxin Zongzong?!" Xia Dianli became even more panicked.
"If it was the Xuanxin Zhengong Sect, the people from the Tianlei Sect would not be so rude. But no matter what the origin, it is still a trouble." The city guard thought for a moment and said, "No matter what method you use, you must hold those people back first. You and I have no control over this matter, so we have to ask that person for instructions."
Official Xia Dian was agitated and his lips trembled twice, "Sir, do you want to see that person? Usually you can only go when you are delivering offerings. The offerings are not ready yet. You should go now, just in case..."
"For me, there is no difference between death and immortality." Cheng Shou could not see how scared he was, and his expression was more bitter. "If you are really bitten to death by it, it would be a relief."
…
There are scholars in Jing'an, they are generous and philanthropic, and they follow the rules. The country is in turmoil, dangerous and difficult, and the four sides are in panic. Only Jing can live in peace and avoid the chaos. Although he is not a tool of Sheji, he is a talent of hundreds of miles.
