The corpse disaster in the Northern Territory has subsided.
Slowly, some people went out of the city and collected the corpses. In order to prevent the plague, and because they were a little afraid, they sent people to collect the corpses and burn them all on fire.
There were blazing fires all over the Northern Territory, and black smoke rose from everywhere, accompanied by a slight stench.
There were more than 50,000 people, but only 20,000 survived.
Many wives and children were separated, and their families were destroyed.
The thirty-seven people who survived were pulled out of the bloodworms one by one by Chen Changsheng.
Seeing that the matter was settled, the old Dragon King said, "The matter has been settled. Mr. Chen will go back with me?"
Chen Changsheng said: "Long Jun, let's go first, Chen needs to take another look."
He always felt that the blood cultivator had other options.
Seeing this, the old Dragon King said: "Forget it, when you return to Qingshan City, I will have a drink with you."
"good."
The old Dragon King left with Ying Yuan and Ying En.
In a blink of an eye, it was time to release him.
They are the thirty-seven people who were rescued before.
…
In the beginning, these people were specially arranged, because these people were walking corpses before, and when they came back to life, they inevitably needed to be looked at carefully.
On the day they were to be released, very early in the morning, there were people standing outside.
"Why are there so many people here?" Chen Changsheng asked.
Lu Shan explained: "These people are all looking for their relatives..."
Chen Changsheng paused and looked around.
When the thirty-seven people went out, they couldn't help but be stunned when they saw a huge crowd of people outside.
Then shouting was heard.
"Dad!!Dad!!"
A young man in the crowd rushed over and hugged the middle-aged man who came out.
"Baby, what's going on?"
The man was still confused and didn't understand why so many people gathered here.
Chen Changsheng saw someone in the crowd asking questions back and forth.
"Help me see if there is my wife. My wife has a mole on the corner of her mouth."
"Help me take a look..."
The scholars in the crowd pushed forward, and he hurriedly came to the front and glanced at the thirty or so people.
"No, no..."
The scholar murmured in his mouth and looked over one by one.
He opened his mouth, then suddenly became depressed, and his last glimmer of hope was shattered.
"Oh……"
The scholar walked away in despair, as if his soul had been taken away from him.
Separation and separation are one of the most difficult things in the world to accept.
This was like the last straw for them.
Lu Shan felt unhappy. He looked at Mr. Chen and saw that Mr. Chen was very calm.
He thought to himself, maybe this is also practice.
Tao follows nature and is not revealed on the surface.
But Lu Shan couldn't help but wonder, is this really the natural way of Taoism?
…
Something unexpected happened on this day.
At noon, for some unknown reason, someone rushed up to the tower and jumped down without thinking. None of the officers and soldiers on the tower could stop him, and he fell to death.
Later, to prevent something like this from happening again, officials blocked the way to the tower and no one was allowed to get close.
But things didn't get better.
Someone hanged himself in a dilapidated courtyard on East Street. Later, the bodies were found in a well. It seemed that they had been soaked in water for a long time. They were dead when they were found.
In just one day, the government received nineteen murder cases.
There were nineteen corpses in the palace. After checking them for a long time, Wu Zuo could still find no traces. It didn't look like they were homicides.
"Could it be..." Before Wu Zuo finished speaking, the government official understood.
Evil!
The official said quickly: "Quickly go and ask for Lu Xianchang!"
The official went to Lu Shan as quickly as possible.
"Nineteen murders!?"
Lu Shan was shocked after hearing this, and then said: "I'll be there in a minute."
He quickly found Mr. Chen.
Chen Changsheng was eating steamed buns outside when Lu Shan came to him and talked about what happened in the government office.
After hearing this, Chen Changsheng frowned, stopped eating the buns, and said, "Lead the way."
The two of them hurried to the government office.
Before Chen Changsheng entered the door, he smelled the stench of corpses.
After entering the door, they saw nineteen corpses neatly placed in the courtyard, all covered with white cloth.
There were officials and officials all around, the master, and the yamen master were standing at the front.
"I've seen the immortal!"
Several people saluted quickly.
Lu Shan waved his hand and said, "Let's talk about what's going on first."
The official said: "Lv Xianchang, there have been reports of crimes since this morning, and many people died, most of whom were hanged and thrown into wells. I also asked people who are familiar with these people, but they can't tell clearly. What's more, today
Early in the morning and noon, someone came from the tower..."
The official told the cause of death of these people.
After hearing this, Lu Shan stepped forward to check.
"All these people died today?"
"That's not entirely true. There is a body there that was thrown into a well and died a few days ago."
Lu Shan lifted up the white cloth and looked at the body.
He did not find any traces of evil erosion among the corpses.
He turned to look at Mr. Chen, "Mr. Chen..."
"This is..." the official said carefully.
Lu Shan said: "This is Mr. Chen."
"Disrespect, I have met Chen Xianchang."
Chen Changsheng waved his hand, then stepped forward and looked at the corpse.
After a while, the official asked timidly.
"Two immortals, are evil spirits causing trouble?"
Chen Changsheng shook his head, and then opened another piece of white cloth.
Chen Changsheng and Lu Shan looked at each other.
Both of them fell silent.
They had only seen the pale corpse under the white cloth, wearing a scholar's robe, in the morning.
After a long time.
Chen Changsheng said: "It's not evil, don't worry too much."
"Then why are these people..." The official was puzzled.
Lu Shan looked at the government officials and said, "They are all asking for short-sightedness."
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was stunned.
.
.
After leaving the Yamen.
Chen Changsheng took Lu Shan to a noodle shop and ordered two bowls of Yangchun noodles.
Along the way, Lu Shan remained silent.
He thought it was the blood demon causing trouble again.
But it's not.
But the result was that they could not calm down for a long time.
Chen Changsheng took out his chopsticks, shook them on the table, and then started eating.
He asked: "Why don't you eat?"
Lu Shan opened his mouth, then picked up his chopsticks and started eating.
But after taking two bites, he couldn't eat anymore.
Suddenly he said: "Sir, we have met that scholar."
"Um."
"He didn't find his wife."
"yes."
Lu Shan sighed and said: "They should still have a lot of time left. Sir, is the love in the world really dependent on life and death?"
Chen Changsheng paused for a moment while holding the chopsticks between his noodles.
He thought for a moment and said, "Maybe."
Chen Changsheng said: "In the eyes of some people, if all the people they care about are gone, then what's the point of staying alone? The worst is to be like them."
"Gone with the wind."
Lu Shan didn't even finish the bowl of noodles.
He felt that his spiritual practice was not yet at home.
The strange thing is.
Mr. Qingshan couldn't finish the bowl of noodles either, there was a lot left.
