I have a weird dynasty

Chapter 354: Clearing the Evil Spirits (asking for monthly tickets)

The door of the tavern was closed tightly and Sangque couldn't push it open no matter how hard he tried. There must be something behind the door.

Sang Que teleported in and found that all the tables, chairs and benches in the tavern lobby had been chopped into firewood, and there were traces of burning fire on the ground.

Inside the lobby counter, there is a clay statue of sisters, and the incense in front of the incense burner has not yet burned out.

While Sangque was still looking around, Yintong had already walked through the lobby and stopped in front of a well at the edge of the yard behind the lobby, raising his hand and pointing at the well.

There were also those ghost-faced bell-shaped flowers growing by the well. Before Sangque walked over, he touched a mole at the corner of his eye.

Sang Mulan has been killed by the puppeteer, so it would be better for her not to show her true face to avoid causing unnecessary trouble.

When they arrived at the well, Sangque stuck his head out to look down, and the person in the well was also looking up in fear.

It was He Baosheng's family, as well as Shouhou and another woman. They were all crowded under the dry well, covering their mouths tightly and looking at Sangque with fear in their eyes.

"Come out, I'm alive, it's safe outside now."

Sang Que took Yin Tong back and waited for He Baosheng and the others to come out of the well one by one, and everyone gathered in the lobby.

They looked at Sangque with fear, confusion and inquiry. They felt that Sangque looked very much like an old friend, but they didn't look like him, so they didn't dare to confirm.

Sang Que held a long knife, while He Baosheng and Shouhou protected the three women and the child He Shouan behind them. He Baosheng bravely asked, "Who are you?"

"Don't worry, I have no ill will towards you, I just want to know what happened here?"

Sang Que put the hand holding the knife behind his back and stood at a distance, exuding kindness.

He Baosheng finally let down his guard. "We don't know what happened. The sky suddenly became overcast yesterday afternoon, and it started to rain heavily at night. The rain was black, and fog formed when it hit the ground. Our two homes are close to each other..."

He Baosheng glanced at the skinny monkey.

"We were originally from the same village, and later settled in Dongyang County. Last night, we felt that the rain was not right, so our two families gathered together, closed the doors and windows, and guarded the fire without daring to go out. In the middle of the night, we heard many people shouting and running away outside, and we were in chaos all night."

"When it was almost dawn, the rain stopped and it was quiet outside, but the fog didn't dissipate. We mustered up the courage to go out and take a look, only to find that almost everyone in the city was dead. There were also some people who survived by chance, but they couldn't find the soldiers or the people from the Evil Suppression Bureau, so they had to leave together and seek a living somewhere else."

Sang Que calculated the time. She also felt the prayers from Mingyue Mountain when she entered the mountain last night.

In other words, the incident happened last night, and almost everyone in the city died overnight.

"Where are the garrisons originally stationed in the city?" Sang Que asked again.

He Baosheng said, "After Tangyuan County was recovered, the army moved to Tangyuan County. Later, reinforcements from Jingzhou and Jinzhou arrived. The night patrol captain in the city seemed to have been recalled to Shengjing. The reinforcements also set out towards the southwest of Qinzhou seven or eight days ago."

Sang Que nodded and glanced at the statues of sisters enshrined behind the lobby counter. The only reason He Baosheng and the others were safe was definitely because of Huilan and Ming Wanxi's protection. It would be safe for them to stay here until the situation became clear.

Sangque walked outside, looked up at the sky, and tried to use his ghost eyes to trace the source to see what exactly happened.

But she could not see anything except thick dark clouds and blinding lightning. Looking at the dead bodies around her, she could see that they were killed by evil spirits that suddenly appeared at night and emerged with the fog.

It is daytime now, and most of the evil spirits are in hiding. They will surely come out at night and look for living people in the city.

If it was just this kind of evil fog, Yao Zhen, Yu Da and Liu Tianyou in Mingyue Mountain would be enough to deal with it. Sang Que speculated that this was most likely the work of the ghost troupe. In order to gather the power of fear, they had completely disregarded the lives of the people.

Just like the previous sacrifice of tens of thousands of people when Wan Xiangtou stepped from the fourth floor to the fifth floor, this time is likely to be a sacrifice as well. After all, the Qianshou Army had occupied half of the Qinzhou territory before, so if they wanted to make some arrangements, they could still do it.

With such a large area, it is definitely not just a matter of five to six. If things go wrong, it may be a bloody sacrifice from the ghost level to the ghost and god level.

Sang Que was a little hesitant to think about it. Judging from the current situation, could this be considered a success?

Could it be that the ghost troupe suddenly started a rebellion everywhere, turning all the cities into dead zones, intending from the beginning to sacrifice them all in the end?
I don't know what happened to Qiu Wanjun, the Yin-Walking General from Jingzhou mentioned by He Buning. As a sixth-level Yin-Walking General, it certainly won't be that easy for him to die.

Originally, the recovery of Qinzhou was in sight, but now due to this sudden change, no one can predict whether Qinzhou can recover in the future.

As the sky gradually darkened, Sangque returned to the tavern.

He Baosheng and his men still had some food stored, and were busy making a fire and cooking. The lobby of the tavern was the only place where the statues of gods were enshrined that had not been affected by the evil fog, so they ate and slept in the lobby regardless of day or night.

They had heard Sangque's footsteps before, and were not sure whether the person coming was a good person or a bad person, so they all hid in the dry well.

Sangque still kept a safe distance from them, not actively approaching them, but stayed by the door, waiting silently for the night to fall.

Qin Fangru cooked the porridge and asked He Shouhui to bring a bowl to Sang Que. Before He Shouhui got close, Sang Que raised his hand to indicate that he didn't need it.

After it was completely dark, there was indeed a lot of restless atmosphere in the evil fog outside. Sang Que could see through the crack of the tightly closed door that there were suddenly many more "shadows" on the empty street.

Most of them are evil spirits that were transformed after death, and they retain the tragic state they were in at the time of death.

The entire Dongyang County has truly become a ghost town.

Moreover, the probability of a person becoming a ghost directly after death is surprisingly high here. In the past, special locations and strong resentment were required to have the possibility of becoming a ghost after death.

Now, wherever Sangque could see, almost every corpse would have a shadow floating up after nightfall.

They didn't realize that they were dead and were still walking on the road according to their habits in life.

The time was almost up, Sang Que took the knife and left the tavern. The breath of life on her immediately attracted the ghosts around her, and they all turned to look at her.

Sang Que drew her sword and swung it, and several ghost shadows that suddenly appeared in front of her were immediately cut in half and turned into gray smoke that was inhaled into her body.

Sang Que killed her way all the way from the entrance of the tavern to the south city gate. All the evil spirits she met on the way were killed by her knife. Because there were so many of them, the palm of her right hand was burning hot, the hexagram of the Mountain Ghost Coin recovered quickly, and even the Baipi Knife gradually turned blood red.

Teleporting to the South City Gate, Sang Que took out the old-fashioned alarm clock he got from the research institute, wound it up and let go of his hand. The alarm clock rang and the sound quickly spread in the silent night.

All the evil spirits in the city were enraged by the sound of the alarm clock and rushed towards the direction where the sound came from.

Sang Que was also annoyed by the sound of the alarm clock, but he could still bear it. When the human-shaped evil spirits gathered more and more in the city, Sang Que glanced at the completed hexagram on his palm and used the copied Yin Fire without hesitation.

The Baipi Knife slashed across his arm, and blood splashed among the evil spirits under the city wall. Like fire meeting oil, a large cluster of green Yin fire shot up into the sky and quickly spread among the evil spirits.

The evil spirits attracted by the sound of the alarm clock were like moths to a flame, constantly crashing into the Yin fire. The fire never died down, and the gray smoke was like paper ashes, flying all over the sky, and finally merged into a torrent and poured into the body of the mulberry bird.

The hexagrams of Shan Gui Qian recovered quickly one after another.
