Chapter 23: Serious situation, predicted disaster At dusk, the setting sun is blood-red. Inside the government office of Linyuan City, long icicles hung on the eaves like crystal daggers. The atmosphere in the house was solemn, and there were many yamen runners outside the door. Inside the door, two of the most famous doctors from Baolin Hall in the city were sweating with anxiety. Finally, after changing a basin of black blood, they left the room with terrified looks. "This is the poison of the flying head zombie. It can only be cured by a master of the Condensation Realm. There is no need to embarrass them." Inside the house, a pot of charcoal was burning brightly. On the bed opposite the pot, Lin Hongtu was lying on his back with a pale face, speaking weakly. Tian Youji looked at this tough guy who used to be tall and strong, but now his face was thin, his eye sockets were sunken and dark, his lips were chapped, and his skin even had corpse spots on it. He looked lifeless, and he felt creepy and suffocated by fear. Hu Xuezhi, who hurried over, was not in a much better condition either. He looked very unhappy, and recalled in his mind all the rumors about corpse drivers, sorcerers and other unorthodox practices. Tian Youji said unwillingly, "Master Lin, you are proficient in the secret skill of the evil-suppressing department, the lightning spear. It is said that this spear skill can suppress evil and exorcise demons. Is the flying head zombie really so strong? Even you are no match for it?" Lin Hongtu had difficulty speaking, panting heavily, "That flying head zombie was probably the head of a powerful concentration expert, it is extraordinary. If it was an ordinary flying head, I would not be afraid.
But that flying head zombie has almost half the strength of a Condensation Realm warrior. It's also my fault that I'm not good enough in martial arts and I can't defeat him with just my supernatural powers." As he spoke, his eyes became noticeably bloodshot, his breathing became disordered, and he reminded with difficulty. "You must be especially careful not to get entangled by the flying head zombie's appendix, otherwise you will end up like me." "Also, there is one more thing. Report to the company immediately and ask for support from the Lord of Condensation Realm. Otherwise, Linyuan City may be in danger..." Lin Hongtu's voice became weaker and weaker before he finished speaking. In the end, he fainted and his face looked ashen. "Master Lin!" Tian Youji immediately stepped forward to investigate the situation and found that Lin Hongtu had fallen into a coma. He turned back and looked at Hu Xuezhi, and they saw the fear in each other's eyes. The two men lifted up Lin Hongtu's clothes to check. All I could see were marks on his neck and arms, as if he had been whipped. But they all look black and scary. "I have urgently reported this matter to the Evil Suppression Department, but it will take at least two days for a hawk to deliver the message. And the adults in the Condensation Realm..." Tian Youji looked unhappy. Nowadays, many cities and towns in the Great Zhou are in chaos, and more than one Linyuan City is in trouble. It is not easy to send Lin Hongtu, so will a master in the Condensation Realm come? Can you arrive in time? "We must now impose martial law throughout the city and dissuade people from leaving the city and wait for rescue." As Hu Xuezhi spoke, he looked at Tian Youji, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself. Tian Youji's eyes flickered, and he understood what his old friend wanted to say. With their strength, if they abandon the city in such a dangerous situation, they will most likely be able to save their lives. Tian Youji sighed, his eyes gradually firmed up, "Old Hu, you go ahead. If I just leave, I will be turned from an official into a bandit and become a wanted criminal of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Since I have been wearing this skin for more than ten years, I can't take it off with my own hands." Chu family.
Chu Ge stared blankly at the burnt yellow paper talisman in his hand, then looked at the 'Good Luck and Good Fortune' hanging charm that was dancing automatically without wind under the eaves of the opposite house. He never thought that after he made a 'Good Luck' hanging thousand and successfully infused it with special power, the hanging thousand would immediately react as if it was triggered. Such a frivolous situation made Chu Ge doubt whether his hanging Qian had failed in production or there was some mistake. But he soon dismissed this absurd idea. Once Gua Qian is able to carry the strange power, it means that the production is successful. The hanging paper-cut with the theme of "Good Luck and Good Fortune" has the function of predicting disasters. The closer the user is to the danger, the more intense and imminent it is, and the more effective Gua Qian's ability to predict disasters will be. Now that Gua Qian has reacted, it is obvious that he has predicted that a disaster is about to occur. However, despite receiving a long-awaited warning, Chu Ge was unable to determine the cause of the disaster, whether it was a natural disaster or a man-made disaster. He only knew of the existence of the disaster in advance. "Is it aimed at me, or is it related to me?" He calculated quickly in his mind, thinking of all the possibilities. The biggest threat known in the surrounding environment today is naturally the Tiandi Xianghuo Sect. "Could it be that Lord Lin from the Suppression of Evils Division failed? Could it be that reinforcements have arrived at the Tiandi Xianghuo Sect's stronghold?" Chu Ge was thinking about it when he suddenly heard knocking on the door and talking outside the yard. Uncle Fu appeared from the corridor in front, leading a group of people in a hurry. When he saw Chu Ge standing in front of the hall, he immediately brought his people over. "Master, Officer Qin said he has something important to remind you of." "Qin officer! What are you doing?" Chu Ge couldn't help but be surprised. Officer Qin looked at Chu Ge with an admiring expression and smiled, "Master Chu, last time we met in a hurry outside the city, I underestimated you. I heard that you are about to break through the bone training stage? The two gangsters who chased you last time were also repelled by you afterwards, right?" "The two outside the city last time?" Chu Ge was stunned, then smiled and nodded in affirmation, and politely clasped his fists and said, "Yesterday I was lucky enough to break through the bone training stage, and now I am in the nourishment stage." "Already broken through?!" Officer Qin was shocked, and immediately congratulated him with envy and admiration, and sighed in his heart that this Master Chu's talent in martial arts was really strong. In just two and a half years, he had already broken through to the Bone Refining Stage. However, he had been stuck at the peak of the Physical Training Stage for more than a year. He had even eaten a spirit fish, but his Qi and blood just could not be raised. "Mr. Chu, it's just right that you've made a breakthrough now. The world is not peaceful right now, and I came here to inform you." Officer Qin said this with a serious face, and informed Tian Youji of the incident about the evil powerful corpse-driving man who appeared outside the city. At the end, he handed Chu Ge a booklet and said solemnly, "Mr. Chu, I have already informed you of the details. I still have to inform other families, so I will not stay any longer. For safety reasons, please stay in the city for the time being." "Corpse chaser, flying head zombie" Chu Ge was astonished. He took the booklet handed to him by the Qin officer and told Uncle Fu to give the Qin officer an ingot of silver to send him away. The other party wants to inform many businessmen and dignitaries about this matter, which shows how serious the situation is.
Chu Ge opened the booklet in his hand and took a look. However, some information about the evil and powerful corpse-driver was written in small regular script. The ink is quite new and has a scent, obviously indicating that it was written not long ago. According to the introduction in this book, corpse driver is an identity title for powerful evil people. Their martial arts strength varies, and they are further subdivided into categories with different focuses, such as corpse raisers and sorcerers. The person who appeared outside the city this time was suspected to be a corpse driver who specialized in black magic. His exact strength is unknown, but he commanded a flying head zombie to severely injure Lin Hongtu of the Evil Suppression Division. "Even that Lord Lin was seriously injured?" Chu Ge frowned and continued to browse the information about the Flying Head Zombie in the booklet, and found that the production process of this evil creature was indeed weird. When a sorcerer is preparing a flying head zombie, he will often dig up a grave, take out a corpse and make the zombie stand upright. The chin was then cut open with a knife, and the chin of the corpse was roasted using a candle made from human fat. The fire does not stop until the corpse is torn apart by fire, revealing the fat layer. The fat layer then melts in the heat and becomes oil, which drips down into the coffin. In this way, combined with the secret method, a corpse can be gradually burned until only a head and some intestines are left. This head will become a flying head zombie, which is vicious and cruel and will suck human blood. Its intestines will wrap around people like a whip, suffocating them and even infecting them with corpse poison. After reading the information in the booklet thoroughly, Chu Ge looked at the auspicious hangings dancing under the eaves. The strange power within Gua Qian was still being consumed slowly, slowly giving off warnings, full of ominous feelings. In the distance, the last ray of evening light disappeared, and the world fell into a silent and deep twilight. "It's a troubled time. The government has told us to stay in the city. Could it be that the flying head zombie is hunting outside the city? Are we waiting for a stronger master to come to our aid?" (End of this chapter)
