Day and night tour

Chapter 248: The Walking Dead
Li Chengfeng's scalp tingled after hearing this. After the painter told him about Mo Tingsheng's plan in Mingjiang Mansion, he was in a state of shock and anxiety.

He was shocked that Mo Tingsheng had used his evil scheme on the people of Mingjiang Prefecture.
After so many years, the layout was actually successful.

As the current Sun-Watching God of Mingjiang Prefecture, he has a deep understanding of the situation of the kidnapper's hall.

——After Qingfeng destroyed the kidnappers' strongholds one after another and even broke through the headquarters, he found that the kidnappers were very poor, there was not much money in their bank accounts, and there were not many valuable gold, jewelry and the like in the headquarters.

It is difficult to associate this kind of poverty with the kidnapping gang. After all, they have been doing the human cargo business for thirty years. Even if they are not as rich as a country, they are at least wealthy in a certain area.

This incident surprised Qingfeng and Li Chengfeng very much. Where did so much money go?

It was not until today that Li Chengfeng found out where the money went - the kidnapper used a large amount of money to cultivate one disaster survivor after another, allowing them to infiltrate the entire Mingjiang Prefecture.

Some of them went to the dock gang, and the kidnappers paid them to send them to high positions one by one, and eventually they swallowed up the entire gang.

If some of them want to get promoted to the government office, they also have to pay money.

Mr. Feng and Mo Tingsheng have spent a huge amount of money over the years to set up a tight net in Mingjiang Mansion.

Li Chengfeng had mixed thoughts in his mind, which finally turned into a sigh.

"Alas, Mo Tingsheng has grasped the weakness of Jingguo."

People who practice incense in Jingguo, especially those with high incense, do not have much concept about money, and people with high incense usually do not interfere in the management of the secular world.

For example, the City God usually has to go to where there is a disaster or evil spirits appear to quell them.

The members of the Bone Elders Society are all immersed in their own world, studying mystical theories every day.

The witch is older than Gu Lao, and the city god doesn't care about worldly affairs.

Over time, although the secular world and the sect live in the same city, they are like people from two different worlds. There is an invisible barrier between them, which makes both sides completely unaware of each other's living conditions.

The name of this barrier is "arrogance".

The people of Jing State who are highly respected, no matter how kind-hearted they are, will not harm the lives of ordinary people. Occasionally, if they meet a few ordinary people who are having a hard time, they will help them.

But they are still arrogant, thinking that if ordinary people do not worship, they will have no power and will not be able to change the foundation of the world.

Mo Tingsheng gave a collective lesson to those who went to worship gods in the underworld in Mingjiang Prefecture.

He taught the Mingjiang Mansion's sect that although ants are small, if their order of magnitude is large enough, they will be able to shake this divine continent.

"Old Li, you should send out all the people from Gu Lao, the City God, and the Witch, and focus them on the docks, the riverbank, and the major casinos and brothels.
Although the secret agents Mo Tingsheng has deployed are all ordinary people, and you disciples cannot find them, but you can catch as many rabbits as you can. Their main purpose is to prevent a riot in a dozen minutes.

Mo Tingsheng's plan involves the entire Mingjiang Prefecture. There are too many riots. We are definitely not able to handle them with our limited manpower. We can only try to suppress the riots as small as possible. "

Zhou Xuan was constantly passing messages to Li Chengfeng and arranging operations through the secret realm.

But he also knew in his heart that the so-called arrangement was not to completely quell the riot, but to save as many civilians as possible. However, it was very likely that a large number of civilians would die in this catastrophe.

"Alas, Mingjiang Mansion is really too slow."

Zhou Xuan sighed helplessly. Mo Tingsheng and Mr. Feng had made such a big move in the past thirty years, but the City God, the Bone Master, and the Witch did not react at all.

The City God was corrupted by the kidnapper, the old man read books every day, and the witch was doing nothing.

“I hope fewer people will die today.”

Zhou Xuan's soul continued to travel during the day and went to the Shijiupu Wharf, which was closest to Dongshi Street.

Lady Red Coffin has already sent out a secret letter to the hall, asking the disciples of Ku Gui in Mingjiang Mansion to gather quickly.

All of Kugui's disciples are people who eat the Shui family's food. They are all very good at swimming. Mo Tingsheng's layout of water routes is extremely important. With these disciples helping to look after them, the situation will be much better.

Dozens of fishing boats were lined up on the river at Shijiupu, and Lady Red Coffin was standing on the dock.

"Coffin Lady, what should we do?"

The disciples asked.

Lady Red Coffin was confused and said, "I don't know much about the situation in Mingjiang Mansion. What should I do? I have to wait for the young master to come."

The coffin lady actually had some ideas, but the more critical the moment, the more she couldn't make decisions on her own.

"Coffin Lady, let your disciples go to the ninth, eleventh and thirteenth shops." Zhou Xuan's soul came traveling.

Zhou Xuan once absorbed the memory of "obsession". Among those wronged souls that made up the obsession, almost all of them were from Mingjiang Prefecture. Through their memories, Zhou Xuan knew every ferry and every road in the entire Mingjiang Prefecture.

"Nine Shop is the largest port in Mingjiang Prefecture. More than half of the ships that go out and in every day are concentrated in Nine Shop."

"The 11th and 13th docks are where the most sand-dredging boats and fishermen are. If we take care of these three docks, we will take care of most of the waterways in Mingjiang Prefecture."

"Coffin Lady, you stay at the Nineteenth Shop, I will continue to patrol the reservoir. I'll leave the waterways of these three big shops to the brothers in your hall."

"Just go, young sir."

After waving her hand, Lady Red Coffin began to cheer up the disciples of Kugui: "Although the headquarters of our Kugui Hall is in Huangyuan Prefecture, our disciples come from the nine prefectures of Jingguo.
Ninety percent of you brothers are from Mingjiang Prefecture. Now there is a bunch of bastards who don't have normal human emotions. They don't like anything delicious, fun, or beautiful.
They want to destroy Mingjiang Mansion, destroy your home, and kill your family. Tell Coffin Lady, what to do? "

"If anyone touches our home or our family, I will kill them."

"Whoever wants to destroy Mingjiang Mansion, I will kill him first."

"Brothers of Kugui, follow the instructions of the young master and split into three groups to save Mingjiang Mansion and your own families..."

At a command from the Coffin Lady, dozens and hundreds of the bitter ghost's disciples started the fishing boats under their feet and headed towards the ninth, eleventh and thirteenth shops.

The coffin lady sat on the shore of Shop 19, waiting for Zhou Xuan's transfer at any time.

……

Zhou Xuan's soul patrolled back and forth at the eleven reservoirs every day. During this time, he met a painter who was also on patrol.

"Thank you very much, young sir, for digging out Mo Tingsheng's plan and the exact time they would take action."

"Lao Hua, don't thank me now. I just want to ask you, is there any movement in the eleven reservoirs?"

"Except for the Qinglianshan Reservoir where you caught the kidnapper, bombs were planted on the gates of the other three reservoirs in advance. There are no abnormalities in the remaining seven reservoirs."

"Have you checked everything carefully?"

"I checked everything, and there is indeed no movement."

"That's strange." Zhou Xuan said, "Mo Tingsheng specifically emphasized eleven reservoirs, but now seven of them are not moving."

He said in a deep voice: "Could it be that the kidnapper's plan to destroy Mingjiang Mansion was not launched all at once, but in waves?"

The painter shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be. Mo Tingsheng needs millions of people in Mingjiang Prefecture to die and use their souls to complete the aggregation of consciousness.

Since they are going to gather together, that wave of destruction, with the most soul consciousness appearing at once, is the scene that Mo Tingsheng wants to see. "

Zhou Xuan naturally knew that what the painter said made sense.

If that is the case, why are there still no movement at the seven reservoirs?

"Perhaps... there are more ways to cause a reservoir collapse than just explosives."

Zhou Xuan expressed his opinion, and the painter was also puzzled and said,

"Young sir, although the number of people deployed by Mo Tingsheng is huge, they have never worshipped incense. In order to destroy such a large reservoir in the shortest time, I am afraid there is no other means except the explosives used to blast through the mountain to open a road."

"Painter, you are still arrogant. Please help me think of some mysterious method that has powerful destructive power and can be used without incense."

"I'm afraid there is no such method."

"Of course it's our Xuanmen's formation." Yazi's voice floated out from Zhou Xuan's soul.

When Zhou Xuan's spirit traveled during the day, his soul spoke and his body could also speak.

In the Zhou family's cleaning shop, Zhao Wuya was guarding Mo Tingsheng, the evil god Guangyin, and at the same time, he was also guarding Zhou Xuan's flesh and blood body.

When he heard Zhou Xuan's question, he took the initiative to answer.

Zhou Xuan quickly asked: "Yazi, is the formation very destructive?"

"Of course, we in the dragon-seeking lineage have the "Dragon Shocking Formation", "Dragon Riding Formation", and "Dragon Attracting Formation". Once each formation is set up, it only takes an ordinary person to master the formation method and activate it at will. The Wu family's formation also has similar effects."

When Zhou Xuan heard this, he looked at the painter and asked, "Is there any formation inside the reservoir?"

"No?"

"Yes! Before I came to Mingjiang Prefecture, I rode my big black donkey and toured most of Mingjiang Prefecture. When I arrived at the Baimeishan Reservoir, I faintly saw the aura of the formation. I thought it was deliberately set up by your Mingjiang Prefecture."

"We have never set up formations at the Mingjiang Reservoir."

"But you have used human stakes before. There are many human stakes, all of which are arranged according to the positions of the formation. Naturally, it is a formation."

painter:"……"

Zhou Xuan asked: "Yazi, what is a living stake?"

"When encountering mountains, we build roads; when encountering water, we build bridges. In some places, there are evil spirits, so we use living people as wooden stakes and drive them into the roadbed and bridge foundation to suppress the evil spirits."

"Mingjiang Mansion did indeed use human stakes to execute people." The painter was quite clear about the practice of human stakes.

It is just not clear why these living human stakes became a formation.

"Those human stakes were all made under the supervision of the City God."

"What city god? Old Hua, you forgot... The city god was completely corrupted by the kidnapper. Among the three leaders, only Qingfeng is a good comrade. The monument king and the temple master all follow the kidnapper's lead."

"Young sir, I'll be right there."

The painter was extremely anxious. He tore through the space and went to the Baimeishan Reservoir, which Zhao Wuya mentioned.

Zhou Xuan also followed the painter, traveling in spirit every day.

"Yazi, your daily travels are not without benefits. If the kidnapper's plan fails, you will have done a great deed."

"Stop talking, landlord. I think Mo Tingsheng has pure Buddhist energy. I was thinking about when to absorb his Buddhist energy and help me increase the incense."

"Wait until I come back." Zhou Xuan scolded.

……

Dozens of men in suits had gathered on the bank of the middle reaches of the Baimeishan Reservoir, and they were arranged in the shape of a peony flower.

At the core of the "Peony Flower", a man looks up at the sky, holding a bronze dagger in his hand.

"Listen, brothers of the Revenge Society, the time for revenge has come. Raise the swords in your hands and use our blood and lives to fight against the gods of Mingjiang Prefecture."

"Revenge, revenge, revenge!"

Everyone was roaring. They quickly stabbed the knives in their hands into their necks and then pulled them out decisively.

Their blood flowed out quickly, forming a blood-shaped peony on the shore.

As the flower shape appeared, human heads emerged one after another in the river channel in the middle reaches of the reservoir.

There were hundreds of heads.

Then, the human heads turned into floating corpses. Hundreds of corpses floated upstream. They opened their mouths at the same time and sang eerie songs.

At this time, the painter and Zhou Xuan finally arrived at full speed.
"Lao Hua, those floating corpses are going upstream to hit the reservoir gate."

Zhou Xuan shouted.

The painter lit two balls of Taoist fire to burn the floating corpse.

The floating corpses suddenly caught fire, but they were very resistant to fire and it seemed that the fire could not burn into their bodies. At the same time, the floating corpses were stimulated and moved back towards the reservoir gate even faster.

"Fuck it."

The painter stood in front of the river and ignited the fire again. This time, he tore off one of his arms and pushed the fire to the extreme. The fire was so huge that there was a loud crash when it burned the floating corpse.

However, although the first few rows of floating corpses had been burned to ashes, the group of floating corpses at the back were still moving in the opposite direction.

The painter wanted to defend the reservoir to the death, so he had to continue tearing off his own arms and use them as fuel to burn his body.

In Baimei Mountain, the painter burned the floating corpses in an almost desperate way.

The painter also arranged for the other six reservoirs to be guarded by the wandering gods of the Bone Elders Association, the City God, and the Miko.

They descended to each major reservoir with parade lanterns.

……

Downstream of the Moxi Reservoir, Shang Wenjun, the head of the Witch Hall, figured out where the floating corpse came from and burst into tears.

These floating corpses came from a magic circle.
The magic circle is made of living human stakes.

This magic formation is the Wu family’s “Zombie Formation Against the Current”.

After the formation was set up, the floating corpses were as solid as rocks, immune to water and fire, and had infinite power.

In the Huangyuan area, there was once a "water witch" who understood this formation.

Later, the inheritance of "Su Shui Wu" was broken, and this formation was included in the "Witch God Temple", the headquarters of the witches.

When Shang Wenjun saw this formation, he knew that it was the "witch" who had been corrupted by the kidnapper and secretly taught the kidnapper this formation.

But now, Guaizi used this Wu family formation to destroy the reservoir and caused a devastating flood.

"Traitor to the miko, look what you have done."

Shang Wenjun was floating above the river, with tens of thousands of red lines scattered around his body, forming a silk gate that blocked the zombies from moving backwards.

After the silk gate blocked the zombies, the remaining silk threads penetrated into the zombies' bodies, slowly cutting through them.

The cutting speed is extremely slow, but with the silk wall blocking the zombies, it is not a big problem. As long as they don't hit the reservoir gate, they can afford the time.

……

The human stakes at the Nanchuan Reservoir were driven into the reservoir.

When the musicians descended with the lanterns of the parade gods, he saw the zombies and sighed, "If it weren't for the young master showing us the way, Mingjiang would be doomed."

If Zhou Xuan hadn't been there, Mo Tingsheng's plan would have been carried out quietly.

Once the eleven reservoirs break, the accumulated floods will bring a desperate doom to Mingjiang Prefecture.

"Young sir, you are truly a blessing to Mingjiang."

The musician sat down and used Gu Lao's protective spell to make his ribs grow wildly.

After the ribs pierced his body, he played the bones and made a piano sound.

The sound of the piano echoed in the reservoir, causing the surrounding mountains to emit sound waves that were inaudible to human ears.

Several sound waves gathered together and caused the water in the reservoir to vibrate continuously. The churning water splashes swept up hundreds of zombies.

This is the musician's law of music.

The sound waves that kept coming out penetrated into the zombies' bodies, creating a strange resonance.

These indestructible zombies that were immune to water and fire actually began to show tiny cracks on their bodies.

……

The musician, the painter, and Shang Wenjun were all the seven incense sticks of Mingjiang Mansion. It was already difficult for them to fight against the sudden zombies alone.

Most of the other wandering gods only have six incense sticks, so it is not so easy to stop hundreds of zombies.

Gu Ling and Li Chengfeng were guarding the Dongming Reservoir at the same time. Gu Ling's Daoyanhuo could hardly hurt the zombies.

"Old Li, please pray for me, and I will use my body to stop the zombies."

Gu Ling has the strongest "flesh and blood rebirth" talent among the Bone Elders. After failing to burn corpses several times, she jumped into the river, spread out her own flesh and skin, and formed a wall of flesh and blood across the river.

Several white zombies rushed towards Gu Ling, and the wall of flesh and blood was in danger of breaking.

If we only rely on Gu Ling's flesh and blood to regenerate, we will not be able to quickly repair the flesh and blood wall.
But with Li Chengfeng here,

He is one of the few prayer-loving members of the Bone Elders Society.

"With the power of the skylight, I pray for Gu Ling's flesh and blood to be reborn."

Thanks to the double power of flesh and blood rebirth, Gu Ling was able to use the wall of flesh and blood to barely block the zombies rushing against the current.

……

Li Chengfeng, Gu Ling, the painter, the musician, and Shang Wenjun each used their magical powers to guard the reservoir from being destroyed by the zombies.

But it is extremely difficult for the gods to parade at the other three reservoirs.

Two of them still had old bones. They followed Gu Ling and Li Chengfeng's method and built several layers of flesh and blood walls in the river. When one layer was destroyed, the other layer continued to be built.
It's a round-robin battle.
But there were always zombies that broke through the encirclement and crashed into the reservoir gates during their rotations.

When the thick gate was hit by the zombies, the sound of huge rocks breaking was heard.

The reservoir with the old god of bones is already so difficult,
As the god who kills Xiao, Xia Jin guards the Qianceng Tower Reservoir, but his defense is very weak.

He shot arrows one after another, and half of the hundreds of zombies had been nailed to the bottom of the riverbed by his arrows, but he could not hold on to the rest no matter what.

Dozens of zombies had already crashed into the gate, creating several holes with a diameter of half a meter.
If the collision continues like this, the reservoir will be lost, and tens of thousands of hectares of reservoir water will flow back into the waterway of Mingjiang Prefecture.

Xia Jin really had no other options, and the Youshen Division could no longer mobilize more manpower.

He had no choice but to ask Pingshui Prefecture for help.

……

A secret letter asking for help flew into the Zhou family group in Pingshui Prefecture.

Zhou Lingyi, Yuan Buyu, and Jiu Da Ren all sat in front of the ancestral tree, gazing at the sky with lamentations.

"I didn't expect Mo Tingsheng to be so vicious. He used the Wu family's formation of zombies walking against the current to attack the major reservoirs in Mingjiang Prefecture and cause floods." Zhou Lingyi sighed.

Yuan Buyu cursed, "This is all Mingjiang Prefecture's own fault. For so many years, they allowed the kidnapper to grow. Even if there is no flood today, there will be a more vicious plan tomorrow."

"Old Yuan, Mingjiang Mansion is in such a state, let's stop scolding him and think about how to save them."

Jiu Da Ren said, "It's a pity that Lao Jian and I didn't comprehend the law of space. If I could come and go freely in the Nine Palaces like Lao Hua, it would be great. Unfortunately, I comprehended the law of nature."

Zhou Lingyi was deep in thought.
Half a minute later, she suddenly looked up and said to Master Jiu, "May I ask if Master Jiu really wants to save Mingjiang?"

"Of course. Mingjiang Prefecture is our neighbor after all. If the city gate catches fire, it will affect everyone in the pond. If Mingjiang Prefecture is flooded, how will Pingshui Prefecture fare?"

"Then I have a plan. Send the wine to Mingjiang Mansion."

Jiu Da Ren asked, "You are planning to send me to your brother's store through the ancestral tree. Your brother's store is far away from the Xiajin Reservoir. If I want to walk from his store to the reservoir, the reservoir would have collapsed long ago."

“Master Jiu, you are the law of nature. My brother can move the reflection of the blazing sun and send you to the reservoir where Xia Jin is.”

"Can your brother move the reflection of the blazing sun?"

"You can try. At least my brother once chased Mr. Feng across four prefectures with the reflection of the bright moon on his back."

"Then you can try."

The wine master pulled out the cork from the wine gourd and took a sip of wine.

Zhou Lingyi passed on a message to Zhou Xuan through the ancestral tree link: "Brother, do you have a strong desire to save Mingjiang Mansion?"

"Of course." Zhou Xuan nodded heavily.

"Then move the Reflection of the Fiery Sun to the reservoir in Xia Jin. With the Reflection of the Fiery Sun, Lord Jiu will be able to come. But... moving the Reflection of the Fiery Sun may hurt you..."

"It doesn't matter. As long as there are fewer people killed in Mingjiang Mansion, it doesn't matter if I get injured. The reflection of the scorching sun you want, as long as it's in the reservoir, is fine."

"All is fine, but the reflection must be moved near the zombies. Lord Jiu can only attack in the reflection."

"receive."

Zhou Xuan's soul was at the Xiajin Reservoir at the moment. He was watching the zombies rushing to crash the reservoir and causing it to collapse, and he was very anxious.

Now, with his sister's guidance, Zhou Xuan's spirit took the form of a giant and walked towards the bright reflection of the blazing sun in the reservoir...
