Chapter 738: Ten Thousand People Umbrella and Corpses
"Master Qin, where is your Ten Thousand People Umbrella? If you don't need it now, when will you wait for it?"
The sudden sound in his ears made Qin Shaoyou's expression condense, and he subconsciously tightened his grip on the Evil Killing Knife. If the situation went wrong, he would draw the knife to attack.
However, he soon realized that the voice that suddenly sounded in his ears was not that the Black Lotus cult demon was trying to confuse him, but that it came from the Master in the Confucian Temple.
Qin Shaoyou certainly knows that the Ten Thousand People Umbrella has the effect of warding off evil spirits and protecting the people. However, Luocheng is so big and there are so many residents in the city. Can a small Ten Thousand People Umbrella really protect the people in the city?
However, since the master asked him to use the Wanmin Umbrella, there must be a reason. With the master's character, he would never make useless arrangements, especially in such a critical moment.
After thinking about this, Qin Shaoyou no longer hesitated, and immediately let go of the hand holding the evil-killing knife, and instead took out the Wanmin Umbrella from his carry-on bag, activating it with the power of blood and people's will.
A brilliant stream of light bloomed from the Wanmin Umbrella, transforming it from an ordinary oil-paper umbrella back to its original appearance.
Just when the Wanmin Umbrella was activated, a loud sound of reading came from the direction of the Confucian Temple.
What I read is the content in "Song of the Five Sons" in "Shangshu": "The emperor has a precept, the people can be close, but not down. The people are the foundation of the country, and the foundation is solid and the country is peaceful..."
In the sound of reading, Qin Shaoyou heard the voices of Xue Xiaobao and Qin Erlang.
Qin Erlang was okay and followed the "Song of the Five Sons" in Shangshu, but that brat Xue Xiaobao was reciting a limerick: "If you don't make decisions for the people when you are an official, it is better to go home and sell sweet potatoes..."
In addition to Xue Xiaobao and Qin Erlang, there are countless other voices among the sound of reading.
These voices may be high-pitched or low-pitched, majestic or intimate, but they all have one thing in common, that is, they contain the power of popular will.
These voices, carrying the power of the people's wishes, poured into Qin Shaoyou's Ten Thousand People Umbrella, causing a dazzling light to burst out from the umbrella, straight into the night sky, turning into a light umbrella, covering the entire Luocheng City
in it.
The sudden rain of corpses falling from the sky was blocked by this huge light umbrella and could no longer fall into the Dao City.
Without the rain of corpses, the people quickly regained their sanity under the influence of the chanting of the monks of Luohan Temple, the supernatural items provided by the night watchmen of the Demon Suppression Department, and the requiem performed by the ghosts and ghosts of the City God's Temple.
At this time, Su Tingyu took along a Taoist priest who was good at healing spells and a night watchman who had learned medical skills from Shan Taonian. They went out to the street and were exposed to the rain of corpses. After being infected with the corpse poison, their bodies had mutated reactions.
People, detoxification and healing.
Looking up at the huge light umbrella in the night sky, Qin Shaoyou exhaled a breath and bowed in the direction of the Confucian Temple.
The Master was indeed a trustworthy person. He not only helped cover up the auras of Qin Lin and Qin Erlang, but also helped them protect the people in the city.
Qin Shaoyou was not surprised at all that the power of popular will existed in the Confucian Temple.
In the Confucian temples in various places, in addition to enshrining the most holy teachers, they also often enshrine the Four Sages and Twelve Philosophers, as well as the famous local upright officials and wise officials of this dynasty who are deeply loved by the people.
It is not surprising at all that the power of popular will exists in these statues.
However, the fact that Master was able to activate and mobilize the power of people's wishes shows how unusual his status and strength are.
The rain of corpses was temporarily stopped, but the chaos in the city continued.
After the people regained their senses, they were shocked and frightened.
Supernatural objects such as the Awakening Golden Needle and the Blood-Hand Bronze Bell have painful side effects, which make the people feel more and more frightened while suffering from the pain, thinking that they have been infected by evil spells.
, he is about to die.
Fortunately, the night watchmen in the Demon Suppression Department and the ghosts and ghosts under Cai Guizhong have rich experience in dealing with such situations. In addition, the chanting sounds in the Luohan Temple and the readings coming from the Confucian Temple
With the help of Sheng Sheng, these panicked people were quickly comforted and allowed to return to their homes. No matter what kind of sounds or movements they heard, they should not go out.
The demons of the Black Lotus Sect outside the city also immediately realized the changes in the city.
Looking at the huge light umbrella, several Black Lotus Bodhisattvas and Arhats were surprised and stunned:
"The dog official in Luocheng Mansion actually has the Ten Thousand People Umbrella?"
"I didn't hear what the spy said. Who among the dog officials in Luocheng Mansion has this thing..."
"This Umbrella of the People can protect the people of a city. The power of the people's will contained in it is extremely vast. It is definitely not something that ordinary upright officials can possess. Good officials can possess it!"
"Whose Umbrella could it be? Is it Qin Lin? Can eunuchs also have Umbrellas?"
The Bodhisattvas and Arhats of the Black Lotus Sect are also worried that the appearance of the Wanmin Umbrella will affect their subsequent actions.
They anxiously raised their hands to the white-robed monk and asked, "World Honored One, what should we do next?"
"Why are you panicking?"
Unlike the frightened and stunned Black Lotus Bodhisattva and Arhat, the white-robed monk was slightly surprised at first when he saw the appearance of the Wanmin Umbrella, but he soon calmed down and even looked happy.
"It's a good thing that the Wanmin Umbrella appears in Luocheng Mansion. It means that we have found the right place. The soul boy is here! Send a message immediately to ask the believers in Yizhou to cause chaos nearby. I want the entire Yizhou to be in chaos and let people elsewhere
Even if we knew something was going on here in Luocheng, we wouldn’t be able to rush over to provide support!”
"yes!"
After listening to the white-robed monk's words, the Bodhisattvas and Arhats of the Black Lotus Sect also calmed down, bowed and took orders, and began to use secret techniques to inform Black Lotus Sect believers across Yizhou.
The white-robed monk squinted his eyes, stared at the light umbrella above Luocheng Mansion, and said with a smile: "Although the rain of corpses is temporarily blocked by the Wanmin Umbrella, everything is still under my control. I want to take a look at this Wanmin Umbrella."
How long can the umbrella last? If you pass on my decree, the rain of corpses will not stop. At the same time, the corpses will be refined and the ants will destroy the city!"
This order was quickly passed to the bone burial grounds around Luocheng, causing the Black Lotus Sect believers here to wave the flag even harder, causing the corpses to rain continuously.
, controlled and driven by the evil magic of the Black Lotus, climbed out of the ground.
They quickly gathered into waves of corpses and bones, rushing toward Luocheng Mansion from all directions.
Many traps and magic circles arranged outside the city were first corroded by the corpse rain, and now were destroyed by these rotting corpses and skeletons. Although they also eliminated many rotting corpses and skeletons, they were destroyed one after another.
The rotting corpses and skeletons soon came to the city wall and began to crawl over the city.
Although the light shield transformed from the Wanmin Umbrella can block the rain of corpses, it does not have much effect on these corpse tides and bone flows.
After all, these rotting corpses and withered bones were once citizens...
The soldiers at the guard station on the city wall panicked and hurriedly fired arrows and threw stones, trying to repel the carrion and bones climbing the city.
However, these corpses have no sense of pain or fear. They are completely tools driven by the evil spirits of the Black Lotus Sect.
Even if they are full of arrows, they will not slow down the speed of climbing the city. Only when they are hit by stones or rolling logs, they will fall off the city wall, but they will soon stand up unsteadily and continue to climb the city.
.
Fortunately, there are night watchmen on the city wall.
They had experience in dealing with rotting corpses and skeletons. While blocking the corpses from climbing the city, they ran and shouted to alert the guards on the city wall.
"Don't be afraid, don't panic, aim at the heads of these corpses and skeletons, as long as you destroy their heads, they will stop moving!"
At the same time, the news that a large number of corpses appeared outside the city and that ants began to invade the city was also reported back to the Demon Suppression Division by Xiao Qingji.
