Soon, Wang Hao made up his mind.
"Are you a water ghost thief? The robbers in the mountain and sea world may have some superpowers."
"The power of illusion is replenished every day... but Qingshi Town cannot be destroyed easily."
"At worst, it's all spent on this battle!"
…
…
Shanhaijie, Qingshi Town.
"Is the bad reputation of the Hub of Disaster and Evil a good thing?"
"As a righteous god, the Great Mother of Sores has turned into a bad thing?"
Li Qingshan was a little surprised, astonished by such an unbelievable thing.
Huang Youcai sighed and said: "The world is hot and cold, evil spirits are raging, and disasters are everywhere, so the reputation of our Qingshi Town has spread these days, attracting many refugees. Those who are willing to live an honest life have come here to farm, and those who are not willing to live a good life have come here.
, became a robber."
"The Water Ghost Pirates only had a dozen people at the beginning, robbing merchants to make a living. But in recent years, their appetite has grown stronger and they have recruited hundreds of people. Although they will not directly compete with the imperial court, the imperial court has no time to control them.
.”
"Especially, the bandit's stronghold is located at the entrance of Hujin. It is covered with reeds and protected by the Water Ghost King. It is very difficult to catch them."
Hujinkou, water ghost bandits, these terms made everyone feel depressed.
Mr. Huang turned around and searched for a long time before he found a wax-yellow government memorandum.
"There is also an arrest warrant for their leader."
【Wanted Order.】
[The crime of beating cattle three times, robbing houses and killing people, unforgivable crimes, Fenghua Mansion will reward you with a hundred taels of silver, and the whole city is wanted.]
There is also an abstract ink painting on it.
"This Niu Sanda is the leader of the Hujin Shuigui Ghost Bandits. After all these years, no one has caught him. Because he has taken refuge in an evil god. We all call that evil god the 'Water Ghost King'."
Speaking of this, Mr. Huang said with a little fear: "The water ghost thieves only operated in Hujinkou at first, robbing merchants coming and going."
"As long as a rich family passes by and is kidnapped by them, they will suffer disaster. The women will be taken back to have babies, while the men will sink directly into the bottom of the water."
"More than ten years ago in Qingshi Town, a caravan suffered a disaster, and the whole family was destroyed. A family of more than ten people was wiped out. It couldn't be more miserable."
"Later, the wealthy people in several towns couldn't hold it any longer, so they jointly paid out money and hired a dozen knights from the world to catch the water ghost thief."
"Jianghu knight? The kind who knows martial arts?" Lu Tianming asked with interest.
"Not only does he know martial arts. The leading knight is proficient in Taoist arts and can spit fire from his mouth!" Huang Youcai gestured with his hands, "I saw it with my own eyes."
"As a result... they were all sunk into the water."
"The 'Water Ghost King' doesn't want any sacrifices. He only likes to drown people in the water. There may be tens of thousands of corpses that have died in Hujinkou over the years."
"The Water Ghost King..." Lu Tianming and Pan Hao looked at each other and recalled the strange "water ghost" recorded on the earth.
According to records, those harmful evil spirits who accidentally died in the water or committed suicide in rivers, lakes and seas and cannot be reincarnated. They secretly wander under the water, seduce or directly pull living people into the water and drown them, becoming their scapegoats.
He can reincarnate himself, and is also known as the "Water Monkey".
Of course, the "Water Ghost King" here may be somewhat different from the legend on earth.
It may have been weak once, but after so many years of operation, it has become a climate that is no longer easy to deal with.
Mr. Huang added: "As time goes by, the water ghost thief has gained a bad reputation, and no one cares about the lake entrance."
"The water ghosts had lost their livelihood and had no choice but to go out and rob. They became popular and began to loot the villages. The women were brought back to give birth to babies, while the men were taken back and drowned directly. Their power became stronger and stronger."
"This time, these bandits may be targeting our Qingshi Town. After all, there are almost no people around, so they can't attack the big city."
"Fortunately, we have predicted the opportunity and finally have some time to prepare." He bowed to the new lady with some respect, "This girl... I don't know what to call her?"
"My surname is Li." Jenny said.
"It turns out to be Miss Li, thank you very much Miss Li." Huang Youcai wondered in his heart, where did so many capable people come from?
It's like it fell from the sky.
In the past half month, more than a hundred refugees have arrived in Qingshi Town. Most of the refugees are good citizens with local household registration.
The Daqian court currently adopts the Baojia system, in which households are organized into units, with a household head; ten households are called Jia, with a chief; ten households are Bao, with a chief.
Qingshi Town will accept all these good people.
After all, there are still many vacant rooms, and some farmland is abandoned and there is no labor force for cultivation. Huang Youcai is eager for someone to come and work for him.
But for refugees without household registration, you need to think about it. They may be robbers who escaped from somewhere...
However, Huang Youcai was surprised to find that the great witch Pan Hao and others seemed unable to obtain their household registration...
Of course, this matter is not important. Qingshizhen fled to death, all the officials ran away, and no one could find the big witch.
But the people brought by the great witch all have great abilities!
Like that girl surnamed Li, who can actually predict things... He couldn't figure out why the transparent stone (crystal ball) could show images even after thinking about it.
Just after burning a stick of incense, the water ghost thieves will come to kill you!
The bell in the town rang, with a "ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding."
"A water ghost is coming to kill you. Is this news true?"
"My sore mother, how is your recovery going?"
Pan Hao shook his head, "No, now, the power of incense is still too weak. Even if it has strength, it can't be used."
This is another bad news.
Especially the few young people who had just escaped from the disaster had no loyalty to begin with and were thinking of escaping to other places.
Huang Youcai's heart dropped to the bottom. Can Qingshi Town, whose vitality was severely damaged, avoid this disaster?
…
…
While several clan elders in Qingshi Town were looking sad, the people who had just been teleported over were also holding a small meeting.
"This world really can't tolerate us. Disasters come one after another."
"Fortunately, there is a demon god protecting me. Otherwise, I might choke to death even if I take a sip of cold water."
"What's next, how should we deal with it?"
Ms. Jenny's crystal ball reflected the scene of Mo Lake: Qingshi Town was invaded, most of the population was captured, and only a small part escaped.
"I dare not say that the success rate is 100%, but it is 70% to 80%. This is the ending." Jenny sighed, "Of course, the ending has changed a bit now."
"No big deal, follow the instructions in the language and run away!" Lao Lu had already started to pack his luggage and prepare to run away.
"Is this how you became an S-class investigator?" Pan Haoqi asked, "If you run away, what will [Game] do if it gets angry?"
"Before you say victory, say defeat first. This is the basic operation. The enemy's combat strength is unknown. How difficult is it to lead him and he will die here?" Lu Tianming said shamelessly.
In addition to these few people, there is also a small team of five people (visitors), namely Diviner Jenny, Black Guard No. 24, Doctor Fengling, and two special soldiers.
"Okay, okay, let's not argue for now. Let's just ask [Game] for help. It doesn't want to lose this sunk cost, right?"
"Li Qingshan, go up and ask for help."
Li Qingshan gritted his teeth and entered the room.
He looked at everything in the temple curiously. The wooden plaque of "The Mother of Sores" lingered with Dandan's mysterious power, but it was far from [Dark Moon]. As someone who had talked to [Dark Moon], he had no idea about it.
"The sore-bred mother" is not very interesting.
But that stone statue modeled after the lake... look at the charm, the simple atmosphere.
It's just that I can't sense the mysterious power on the stone statue at all.
"Li Qingshan, come up and ask for help!" Lao Lu urged from behind.
Li Qingshan lit three incense sticks stiffly.
To be continued...
