Chapter 22 Cangzhou Removal of Corpse
Above the sea of clouds, the sun lies across the sky.
The rising sun shines on the sea of clouds and is golden. Above the sea of clouds, Li Changan drives the flying sword and passes through the clouds. The strong wind blows his clothes and roars.
Cangzhou Qingyun City is not far from the north of the Pass where the Nine Heavens Sword Sect is located, but it took more than half a day to fly with Li Changan's current cultivation level.
Cangzhou is located in the southeast of Hebei, bordering the Bohai Sea in the east, Diyang in the north, and Qilu in the south. The Grand Canal runs through the city. It is named after the Bohai Sea in the east, meaning the state of Canghai.
Cangzhou a hundred years ago was also a wealthy place with sufficient spiritual power; but in order to refine weapons, the great demon cultivator "Yunya Laogui" drew away two spiritual veins in Cangzhou, causing dragons to turn over in Cangzhou. From then on, Cangzhou's spiritual power became weak, and countless sects located in Cangzhou had to move the sect.
The old ghost of Yunya is not only strong, but also a great worshiper of Nanhuan Sect. Although he is the culprit of the collapse of Cangzhou spiritual energy, due to his own strength and the protection of Nanhuan Sect, the old ghost of Yunya is still at large.
After the collapse of Cangzhou's spiritual energy, all the cultivators who absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth moved; some mortals with wealthy families also left Cangzhou with the abortions; the remaining residents who are still in Cangzhou are all mortals who have been living in Cangzhou for generations and have an inseparable sentiment towards this homeland.
The sky is dark and the earth is dark, and the clouds are low.
Li Changan stood on the roof of Longmen Inn in Qingyun City, looking at the sparse crowds. This prosperous city in the past has lived up to the grand occasion of the past.
Li Changan fell from the roof and as soon as he walked into Longmen Inn, he saw Hao Ren waving to him.
There were several tables sitting in the inn in groups of three or three, which was not lively; the tables chosen by Hao Ren and Xie Youyu were close to the right corner.
Seeing Li Changan sitting down, Xie Youyu frowned and asked, "It's the end of Youth now! Are you a monk from that pavilion? Why is the speed of flying with swords so slowly?"
"Liuyun Pavilion."
Xie Youyu asked in confusion: "Liuyun Pavilion has recently recruited new disciples?"
Xie Youyu asked this question because Li Changan was not aware of the fact that he was worshipping Liuyun Pavilion, except for the several pavilions and the core cultivators of Taiyuan Pavilion. Moreover, Li Changan had been practicing during his time in the Nine Heaven Sword Sect and rarely showed up. Almost no one in the Nine Heaven Sword Sect knew him.
Li Changan nodded without saying much. He was not like Xie Youyu, and he wished everyone knew that his master was the third disciple of Nangong Buluo, the leader of Yujian Pavilion.
Seeing Li Changan nodding, Xie Youyu thought he was the apprentice of one of the three of Qi Yingyun, Lu Qi and Zhao Lingyu. He didn't believe that this beautiful little face in front of him would be the apprentice of Xiao Yichen whom he admired the most.
"I arrived at Longmen Inn before I could find out the specific situation." Xie Youyu took a sip of tea and said to the two: "These zombies lie down on the day and come out at night, and like to suck blood. Anyone who has been bitten by zombies will transform into corpses within one day. According to incomplete statistics of the residents in the city, the number of zombies has exceeded one thousand; in order to prevent zombies from invading, Qingyun City has not opened the city gate for nearly ten days."
Hao Ren said: "A thousand zombies! So many! No wonder it was not dark yet, and the doors of every household in the city were closed. It turns out that the seriousness of the matter has reached this point."
Xie Youyu nodded and said, "There were not many people bitten by zombies at the beginning; the Lord of Qingyun City just invited a monk from Longhu Mountain Tianshi Mansion from Jiangzuo to remove the corpse. However, unexpectedly, it took the monk more than half a month to arrive at Qingyun City. When he arrived, there were too many people who were poisoned by corpse. The monk from Tianshi Mansion saw that the situation could no longer be handled, so he ran away without even saying hello."
"Later, more and more people were infected with corpse poison. The Lord of Qingyun City had no choice but to seal the city gate. However, the mortals outside Qingyun City did not have the shelter of towering cities. Maybe... most of them were infected."
After hearing Xie Youyu's story, even honest people like Hao Ren couldn't help but say a few more words, while Li Changan had a gloomy face and said nothing.
Seeing that the two of them looked wrong, Xie Youyu thought Li Changan and Hao Ren were tired, so he spoke, "The spiritual energy in Cangzhou is thin, and today's long-distance flight, you two consume too much spiritual power. I suggest you restore your spiritual power and go to find the Lord of Qingyun tomorrow."
Li Changan shook his head and said, "It's not too late, so let's go to see the Lord of Qingyun now."
Hao Ren also nodded and said, "I agree with Junior Brother Li."
Xie Youyu cursed inwardly, "Good intentions are like donkeys' liver and lungs"; then, the group went to the mansion of Lord Qingyun City.
When the three of them found the residence of the Lord of Qingyun City, it was already completely dark; the three of them reported themselves to the house, and the servants took the three to the hall.
In Li Changan's eyes, the mansion of Lord Qingyun City is not considered magnificent; after all, he lives in Diyang City, the capital of the Han Dynasty.
There were eight people in the hall.
The person sitting in the main seat of the hall was the Lord of Qingyun City. As for the specific identity of the other seven people, it is still unknown; however, from the rules between the seven people's breathing, it is not difficult to know that these seven people are immortal cultivators.
After entering the hall, seeing cultivators from other sects present, Xie Youyu straightened his throat and said, "The third disciple of Nangong Buluo, the master of the Nine Heavens Sword Sect, was in charge of the Sword Master, Xie Wuyan, the seventh disciple under the seat, Xie Youyu!"
"Nine Heavens Sword Sect Lingkong Pavilion, Hao Ren."
"Nine Heavens Sword Sect, Li Chang'an."
Xie Youyu suddenly felt a little embarrassed after listening to the words of the two classmates. The two of them answered so simply and concisely. Isn’t this showing off their identity?
Xie Youyu held back the swear words he was about to say, glanced at the other seven people, and asked the Lord Qingyun City on the lord: "I don't know, these are these?"
The Lord of Qingyun City is a middle-aged man with a big belly. He stood up, walked to the three of them, and said with a smile on his face: "It turns out that he is the Supreme Immortal of the Nine Heavens Sword Sect, three of them should take their seats."
As soon as the three of them sat down, the Lord of Qingyun City said, "It's really early, it's better to come by chance! I didn't expect that the immortals from the three sects would come together."
Opposite Li Changan and his group, there were three men and one woman sitting. The four men and women were handsome and charming, all wearing blue clothes, and they should be monks from the same sect.
The other two were sitting next to Li Chang'an. They were burly, red-haired, red eyebrows, and majestic in a fiery long robe. From their clothes, we can tell that they should be monks from the Jiyang Sect.
Lord Qingyun City introduced to Li Changan and the other two: "These four are the best immortals of Nanhuan Sect."
The handsome man with the highest cultivation level of Nanhuan Sect glanced at Li Changan and the other two and said, "Nanhuan Sect, Ge Zheng."
Next to Ge Zheng was a fair-skinned young man. He bowed to the three of them and said, "Nan Huanzong, Ye Kun."
The man next to Ye Kun had a cold face. He just said simply: "Di Fangyi."
The woman among the four Nan Huanzong was about 30 years old, with a charming appearance and exposed clothes. She said softly in a charming voice: "Nan Huanzong, Fan Qingman."
The Lord of Qingyun pointed at the Jiyang Sect again and said, "These two are the best immortals of Jiyang Sect."
The two monks of Jiyang Sect are about the same age as Li Changan, and their cultivation levels are both in the middle stage of foundation building.
"Jiyang Sect, Lu Zizhen has seen you all."
"Jiyang Sect, Lu Zihao has seen you all."
When the two heard this, they spoke. Lu Zizhen and Lu Zihao have similar appearances and should be twin brothers.
The Lord of Qingyun City said: "Because the matter is urgent, I am worried that Chi Ze will change; so I sent a mission to the three sects at once."
The Lord of Qingyun City told everyone about the current situation, "These zombies have strong bodies and slow movements, but are afraid of sunlight and flames, so they usually do not appear during the day. Their attack method, in addition to biting people, only rely on ten fingers to catch people, but most of them are not strong in attack."
After hearing the words of the Lord Qingyun City, Li Changan understood that the zombies' attacks were not strong and they were afraid of fire, so he invited the Jiyang Sect, the physical cultivation sect; but because the zombies' body was strong, he invited the Jiutian Sword Sect, the most killer in the Han Dynasty; he wanted everyone to cooperate with each other and eliminate the zombies.
Lu Zizhen stood up and said to the Lord of Qingyun City: "We have also inquired about other situations before. It was just night, and zombies were infested. We should hurry up and leave the city to remove corpses. Don't stay for more."
When everyone heard this, they nodded and left the mansion of Lord Qingyun City.
Xie Youyu gave Li Changan and Hao Ren a wink, as if he had something to say.
The three of them flew away from Qingyun City with their swords. In the hazy night, Xie Youyu found an uninhabited coach and said to the two: "You have also heard about the situation. The zombies are slow to move and have weak attacks. Apart from their strong body, they can be said to be useless. The three of us should act separately."
Hao Ren said, "How can this work! Since we came together, we should support each other; not to mention that Junior Brother Li's cultivation level is only at the eighth level of Qi Refining Stage. If you encounter special circumstances, you may be unexpected."
After hearing what Hao Ren said, Xie Youyu said unhappily: "If you are willing, you will bring this zombie with you; will it be so serious to treat me?" Xie Youyu said just as he was playing, but was driven away by a sword and disappeared from the sight of the two of them.
Hao Ren was afraid that it would hurt Li Changan's self-confidence, so he was about to say something to comfort him, but Li Changan smiled and shook his head at him, saying that he didn't care.
