Eight hundred and fortieth chapters: good words do not persuade the damn ghost
At night, in a small town in Xiangdi, the bright crescent moon hung high in the sky, casting a cold moonlight.
"Hey, Lao Wang, there's no more wine, please bring me another pot of wine."
In a tavern, several men gathered together, drinking and chatting. When the wine on the table was finished, a man shouted to the boss again.
"Okay, here we come."
The boss responded and quickly brought another bottle of wine.
Several men came on top of each other again, had a mouthful, and then started chatting again. A thin-looking man spoke.
"Let me tell you, the Li Family Ancestral Hall is really tight. Several times when I passed by there at night, I felt a gust of wind behind me. There were also strange sounds coming from inside."
"Tch, you're here again. It's not like I've never been to the Li Family Ancestral Hall. There's nothing dirty there. I passed by there last night and peed, but I didn't see anything."
After the skinny man finished speaking, the other man next to him just snorted and said disapprovingly. Several other men next to him also smiled disapprovingly. They are all old friends and often drink together. Naturally, they all know each other's personalities, and the skinny man every time
When we drink together, we like to talk about these ghostly things. We often talk about where we have encountered ghosts, and everyone has become accustomed to it.
"That's right, Lao Zhao, you should change the topic. Every time you drink, you tell us these ghosts and ghosts. There are so many ghosts and ghosts in the world. The little Taoist priest who appeared out of nowhere yesterday
They also said that there is an ancient tomb in the mountains more than 20 miles away, and a zombie king is about to be born inside, and that everyone in our town must leave and run for our lives, do you believe this?"
The other man also said with a smile.
"Zombie King, I'm still a demon!"
"Ha ha!"
"..."
The group of people burst into laughter instantly. Although most people in this era have some awe for ghosts and gods, after all, there are not many people who have actually encountered them, so most people are skeptical, except for those who usually visit some cemeteries or temples.
In addition to maintaining some awe, most of the time they are just joking, and not many people really believe it in their hearts.
Especially for a skinny guy like this, who talks about this every time we drink together, about where there is a ghost, and when he has seen a ghost. Naturally, the group of people will not believe it.
The skinny man's face also turned slightly red. The ghostly things he mentioned were indeed mostly his own imagination and processing, but since he had blown the truth, he naturally would not admit it and said harshly.
"Hey, don't believe me. If you don't listen to the old man's words, you will suffer a lot. If you don't believe me now, you will really suffer when the time comes. Also, the little Taoist priest yesterday, I feel that he may not look like that.
It’s a lie, I can’t guarantee that there really is a zombie king coming out and I can’t say for sure..."
Finally, the skinny man brought in the little Taoist priest from yesterday.
"Hey, Zombie King, if you really believe it, why don't you run away?"
Another man next to him immediately said jokingly.
The skinny man immediately blushed and was speechless.
"Okay, okay, just talk about these things as a joke. Don't take it seriously. Come on, let's have another drink."
Seeing that the skinny man was so rebuffed that he couldn't get off the stage, another man next to him immediately spoke up and the group had another drink.
"Hey, look, there seems to be something wrong with the moon's eyes tonight. Why is it so red?"
The group clinked glasses and finished drinking, then put down their wine bowls again. A man looked up at the sky, and suddenly his expression changed. He saw that the bright crescent moon in the night sky had become tinged with red at some point, giving people a sense of wonder.
It has a blood-red feeling, with a bloody light.
"Hey, really, what's going on? It wasn't like this just now."
After hearing this, several other people also raised their heads and looked at the sky. When they saw the color of the moon, their expressions couldn't help but change.
The red crescent moon looks like a blood moon.
As they watched, the group of people felt vaguely that there was a smell of blood in the air, and it was bloody.
Several men in the group couldn't stop looking at each other for a moment, their faces became a little nervous, and a vague sense of ominousness rose from the bottom of their hearts.
Suddenly, the faces of several people changed again. In their sight, there seemed to be a black shadow flying out of the blood moon. It was getting closer and closer to them, and the black shadow became bigger and bigger, turning into a human-shaped black shadow.
"Roar!"
Finally, the human-shaped black shadow stopped in the air about twenty meters above the town. His face could not be seen clearly, only a pair of scarlet eyes was seen. He raised his head to the sky and let out a corpse roar, and a terrifying and frightening bloody aura instantly emerged from the figure.
It broke out and swept through the entire town. Several men who were drinking were frightened by the corpse roar and fell to the ground. Then they saw the humanoid black figure looking up to the sky with its mouth open.
An extremely terrifying suction force instantly came out from the mouth of the humanoid shadow, and people in the entire town instantly felt that the blood in their bodies was uncontrollable and flowing backwards. Some people who were isolated and close to each other instantly had blood flowing out of their bodies.
Brush your eyes.
"Puff puff!"
Finally, stream after stream of blood flew out from the mouths and eyes of these people, flew directly to the mouth of the humanoid black shadow high in the sky, and converged into streams of blood.
"Master, are we really not going to take action?!"
At the same time, on the top of a mountain a few miles away from the town, the five masters and disciples of Li Qiuyuan watched this scene from a distance. The most violent Lei clenched his fists and looked at Li Qiuyuan and asked.
"I can no longer deal with this zombie king by myself, not to mention that other zombies haven't appeared yet. Even if our master and disciples take action at this time, we will only lose our lives."
Li Qiuyuan sighed softly, shook his head and said.
"Are we really just going to watch these people die? This is a small town. Master, don't you always say that we, as cultivators, should take it as our duty to kill demons and protect the common people in the world? Now the demons
We are killing people right in front of our eyes, but we are ignoring them."
Lei gritted his teeth and said, looking at the scene of the town in the distance, he couldn't accept it in his heart. He was a man with a strong sense of justice. From the first day he learned Taoism, he secretly vowed to kill demons and protect the world for the rest of his life, but now the demons
He was slaughtering people in front of his eyes, but he could do nothing. This feeling made him extremely angry and hateful.
Li Qiuyuan knew the character of his disciple. In fact, he didn't want to save him at all, but he was calmer and understood the situation.
"Slaying demons and protecting the common people also requires strength. If you don't have enough strength and act rashly, you will just lose your life."
Li Qiuyuan shook his head and said.
"Furthermore, we told these people yesterday that they themselves don't believe that there is a cause and an effect. No one else can blame them."
Lei clenched his fist tightly, looked at his master, and suddenly felt a sense of anger in his heart. He felt that he had misjudged his master. He originally thought that his master was the kind of tall and tall man who was not afraid of life and death to protect the world.
, but now, he feels that his master is a villain who is greedy for life and afraid of death. For his own safety, he can watch so many people die.
Li Qiuyuan was very sensitive and noticed Lei's emotions for the first time, but he didn't say anything more. He just took a deep look at his disciple, and felt a sad feeling in his heart, as if he had taught a white-eyed wolf for so many years.
Feng Yudian beside him didn't say anything, but he also felt keenly that something was wrong with his master and Lei's emotional atmosphere.
.............................
"Crow!" "Crow!" "Crow!"
The next morning, early in the morning, as the sun was rising, the crow's call could be heard in the town, which was full of lifelessness.
The shriveled corpses that had been drained of flesh and blood were scattered throughout the town.
"Feng, take your junior brother to process all the corpses in the town and bury them. I'll go to the ancient tomb to have a look."
The five masters and disciples of Li Qiuyuan also came to the town again. Looking at the situation in the entire town, Li Qiuyuan sighed softly and turned to his eldest disciple Feng Dao.
"Yes, master."
Feng immediately responded, leading Lei Yudian and the three of them into action.
Li Qiuyuan stood up in the direction of the ancient tomb, squeezed the seal in his hand, and the wind blew under his feet. He rose into the air and flew towards the ancient tomb.
Not long after, they came to a hilltop in front of the ancient tomb. Looking in the direction of the ancient tomb, he felt the scent of the Corpse King and other zombies in the ancient tomb, and Li Qiuyuan felt slightly relieved.
What he is most worried about is that after the zombie king is born, it will take other zombies away. If this happens, it will not only be a trouble for their actions, but will also cause more casualties, because if the zombies stay in this place, they will not move.
, no matter how much you kill, you can only hurt the people nearby. When everyone nearby is killed or runs away, no one can be hurt.
On the contrary, if the zombies leave, more casualties will be caused along the way. If these zombies run out, the consequences will be absolutely catastrophic.
"I hope the reinforcements will come faster."
Finally, Li Qiuyuan muttered to himself again. The only thing he can hope for now is that people from all factions will arrive soon. Only in this way can he be sure that everyone will join forces. Otherwise, with his current strength, he will be able to deal with that zombie alone.
King, he is no longer sure.
Moreover, this zombie king is now obviously confident in his own strength and the power of his men, otherwise he would never dare to stay here so rashly.
After confirming that the Zombie King and these zombies had not left, Li Qiuyuan left immediately and continued to wait for people from various sects.
In the afternoon, Li Qiuyuan finally waited for the first batch of helpers, a Taoist priest who was wearing black and white Taoist robes, had a thin figure and a beard and looked to be in his fifties. Behind him was a Taoist priest who looked to be in his mid-twenties and had an expression on his eyebrows.
Such an arrogant young man, Li Qiuyuan was instantly shocked and stepped forward.
