Chapter 40 Corpse Porter

Over the past few days, the conversation after dinner in Lianyun City was all about the disaster information about the migration of monsters.

Chen Ping knew the general situation without asking around.

Lianyun City has lost contact with the Qingyun Sect, and we don’t know what the situation is outside for the time being.

This means that the city defense has lost its backbone and support.

In Lianyun City, the leader of the city defenses died in this disaster. Not only that, many city defenses were also not spared. Some of the remaining city defenses could not resist the temptation of looting during this period, and they successively

He joined the looting army, and his status in the hearts of the casual cultivators plummeted.

The city's defenses were almost torn apart and unsustainable.

Lianyung City is in an unprecedented state of disorganization, or in other words, it is difficult for the organization to maintain the existing order of Lianyung City.

In this disaster, no less than one-fifth of the entire Lianyung City population died.

The monster came so suddenly, and it was late at night, so many people had no time to escape. Especially the casual cultivators near the east wall of the city, almost no one was spared.

The further east you go, the more trampled the streets become. It's no less than a major earthquake, far more serious than the west side. There are ruins everywhere you look.

Chen Ping was secretly glad that he had chosen a good house. In this case, it would be the best thing to have someone with enough strength and prestige to stand up and lead everyone.

"What Fellow Daoist Chen said is absolutely true."

As a young and strong man, Chen Ping was assigned the job of carrying corpses.

As long as this street remains in a mess, those monks with evil intentions don't mind throwing an extra stone. But if the whole street is clean and tidy, it will have a positive effect.

If the evil amulet generates heat, it means the existence of evil spirits.

"Hold on, everyone, my evil amulet is a little hot." A monk also discovered something unusual.

"Fellow Taoist, please wait a moment. You'll be ready soon."

On the sixth day after the disaster, Yu Qingyi called together more than 40 households near this street.

This is not good news for Lianyuncheng.

Evil spirits are also evil spirits.

In such weather, the body that had been dead on the street for several days did not show signs of decay, but was just a little stiff.

Evil spirits are weird and unpredictable, and their traces are hard to find. People in the world know very little about them, and they are often more difficult to deal with than demonic cultivators, demons, and evil cultivators who can see their form.

Chen Ping put the body away and silently confiscated the spirit stone... It was a little less, but fly meat is also meat, so a little adds up to a lot.

Some evil spirits are just wandering souls and will not hurt people, but some evil spirits are so full of evil that the risk factor is very high.

Yu Qingyi is highly respected in the entire casual cultivator area, let alone in this street, so he basically responds to everyone's call.

Someone suggested going to the market to find mortal laborers or the lowest level Qi practitioners.

Next is the division of labor.

You should be given a certificate!

Chen Ping answered without raising his head and was busy affixing the talisman to himself.

Because a large number of houses collapsed, when people recovered from the frenzy of looting, they began to reconsider life, livelihood and spiritual practice.

Just cleaning up the bodies!

"What suggestions does Mr. Yu have? The monks in this street will form their own patrol team? In this case, I am willing to serve as the captain of the patrol team." One monk said eagerly.

If there are such Taoist friends all over the world, why worry about not being able to work together on the path to eternal life?

Just this street.

It's definitely not low risk to bury the body outside the city!!

It was early winter, and although Lianyun City, located at the southwest end of the Misty Continent, was not flooded with snow and winter, the temperature had begun to drop sharply and the wind was biting.

No one wants to take unnecessary risks.

After all, no matter how chaotic the past is, life must go on.

Several other teammates echoed.

"Have you been here before, fellow Taoist? Is the evil-repelling talisman that easy to generate heat?"

'I'm afraid it will be difficult to completely recover from the chaos in a short period of time.'

As long as these talismans are not destroyed, they can be used repeatedly, which is perfect for self-defense.

Such monks are the right path in the world.

Everyone agreed.

Many streets are still in a tense, disorderly or confused atmosphere.

There was a big reshuffle of the residences of scattered cultivators in Lianyun City. A large number of scattered cultivators moved closer to the center and each found uninhabited houses to temporarily live in. The places closer to the city wall were basically vacant.

Because Yu Qingyi was highly respected and well-spoken, the plan was quickly passed.

He carefully moved several corpses, and then he and several fellow Taoists pulled them outside the city.

'I'm afraid it won't be easy to build this city again. I'm afraid it will take a lot of time.'

It means that Yu Qingyi does not understand the concept of later generations, otherwise he would definitely know that this is called the "broken window effect".

Yu Qingyi finally said:

Chen Ping took the opportunity to ask:

"What you fellow Taoists are saying makes sense, but these are not the most urgent things. You can wait and see. The most urgent thing now is to repair the entire street as before. Fellow Taoists, please take a look, there have been corpses on the street for so many days.

It is still in the same place, the stone road is still full of potholes, and the broken walls in some places even block the road... How unbecoming is this? These must be cleaned and repaired. Only in this way can the street be restored to normal, and those monks with evil intentions will not dare to

rash."

Such a body is not difficult to transport.

The same goes for the Evil Suppression Talisman.

Having just experienced the passage of monsters and evil spirits, most monks still have lingering fears.

You can avoid danger, but you cannot avoid responsibility.

‘Good fellow Taoist, I will look for you next time we cooperate.’ Chen Ping gave them a thumbs up in his heart.

Some go to transport stones outside the city, some clean up blood stains, some lay street floors, some dispose of corpses, and some clean up the ruins of public areas...

After several days of looting, most of the empty houses that had lost their owners had not been looted. The phenomenon of rummaging through other people's houses has gradually decreased and is now rare.

‘There is actually a low-grade spiritual stone. It’s an unexpected surprise, it’s very good.’

Chen Ping didn't say anything. It was natural to contribute to his own living environment.

He lifted up his robe and put the evil-proofing talismans on each of his legs. He had a lot of such talismans. After attaching them to his legs, he did the same thing on his arms. Then he put the extra ones on his chest.

Chen Ping understood.

"That's exactly what I meant."

I'm afraid that there are more monsters and monsters in the forest. Maybe they haven't completely crossed the border, or maybe they've migrated back from the depths.

"..."

'Huh? What is this?'

Lianyung City began to calm down.

What Yu Qingyi said makes sense... Chen Ping said secretly.

After leaving the city, we walked a short distance toward the forest, but the closer we got to the forest, the more eerie it became. Chen Ping touched the evil-proof charm in his arms and felt a little warm.

What Chen Ping and his companions need to do is to carry the body onto a wooden cart and then take it outside the city to bury it. The rest of the task is not theirs.

Neighbors have a clear division of labor.

Chen Ping thought to himself.

Chen Ping just smiled and was busy pasting the charms... Those corpses had been dead for five or six days. Who knows whether the resentment has dissipated and whether the evil spirits have turned into evil spirits?

A potential deterrent to gangsters.

At this time, not to mention that many low-level mortals and Qi practitioners did not escape this catastrophe. Among those who survived, under the redistribution of interests, some people currently have no shortage of money, while other low-level monks are unwilling

Come out to take risks. Those who are willing to come out have already been divided up by the West District families and the business houses in the city.

The strong fellow Taoist on the side couldn't help but sneer: "You, you don't know, you think that fellow Taoist is going to cross the endless forest!"

"I've been here before, why haven't I been here before? I've been to the forest dozens of miles deep. It's not like this." Taoist friend said while digging a hole.

But it was quickly rejected.

"I think the priority is to unite with other streets and establish a temporary trading market. It doesn't matter if it is smaller, otherwise life will be unsustainable." A monk who made a lot of money advised.

"Everyone, we can count on a lot for the city's defense for the time being. Lianyun City has become calm now, and we have to continue to live our lives. I suggest that the neighbors work together to at least maintain the order of this street."

You can only do it yourself.
To be continued...
