Chapter 378: Crisis Emerges One After Another

Who could it be, the guide?
Xinyi reached into her sleeve and found a brocade bag inside.

After the Yuanqing incident three years ago, Shoucheng found him one day and handed him a brocade bag, saying that Lingxiang had specifically asked him to give it to him after the competition with the Taishang Sect.

On the blue brocade, there was a spell embroidered with gold thread. Xinyi didn't know what it meant. Inside the brocade bag was a note that read: "On the day when the phoenix sings, I will return home."

Fengming...return date...

It seems that Lingxiang had already planned it out, but how did she know?
Although he had doubts in his heart, Xinyi had no time to care about them, because just when the Black and White Impermanence disappeared, in addition to the voice of Black Impermanence, he also heard the words of White Impermanence.

"There is trouble down the mountain, return quickly..."

What happened down the mountain? Could it be that something had happened to the thing they had kept secret?

Thinking of this, Xinyi quickened her pace.

Although the village is guarded by Zhao Wuyang and Caiwei, Caiwei is not good at Taoism after all. Although Zhao Wuyang has some experience, he is still inexperienced and young. He has been under the protection of Xinyi over the years and has not seen many dangers in the world. I am afraid that he will panic when encountering things and will not be able to handle them properly.

At this moment, Zhao Wuyang was indeed extremely panicked.

Three years ago, Yuan Qing suffered a disaster and Lingxiang fled. Since then, the world has changed drastically.

After that day, not to mention humans, even birds, beasts, fish and ants were not reborn, not to mention mayflies and cicadas which were so tiny in the vast ocean.

Therefore, those hermits who are ordered to go down the mountain must be accompanied by a person who is good at medicine. On the one hand, it can provide convenience for these practitioners, and on the other hand, it can also provide diagnosis and treatment for ordinary people in the world.

Listening to the wailing of the women in Manshan Hall and Caiwei's panicked voices of comfort, Zhao Wuyang was a little confused for a moment.

When he first arrived in the village, he saw many women with big bellies. Zhao Wuyang thought they were sick, but later he found out that they were pregnant. Some of them were about to give birth, but they couldn't give birth even after two or three years.

The man who achieved sainthood in the flesh at Chentangguan back then was probably no more than this!
However, what was strange was that just after a strange cry from the sky, the pregnant women in the village began to shout out in abdominal pain one after another. They were about to give birth, which led to such a chaotic scene.

There was no midwife in the whole village, only Caiwei, a doctor, but she had no experience in childbirth, so how could she know how to help people deliver babies? In a panic, she could only force herself to remain calm, just to comfort those women who were about to give birth.

Fortunately, there were two women in this group who had given birth before. Although they were about to give birth, they knew what was going on and saw Caiwei's embarrassment. They endured the discomfort and told Caiwei what to do. Only then did Caiwei calm down a little.

Hot water is essential. Although Zhao Wuyang doesn't know why hot water is needed for women giving birth, this is the only thing he can do to help. After all, it is not convenient for him as a man to enter the delivery room, not to mention that there are women in the room.

Zhao Wuyang had completely forgotten about the fire formula and was frantically looking for flint in the woodshed when he heard a series of screams outside the house. The screams did not come from the women next door, but from a man.

A man screaming? A man also wants to give birth?
Zhao Wuyang shook his head, cursing himself for being stupid, and got up to go out to check. However, as soon as he opened the door curtain, he bumped into someone.

The visitor was Ade, the village guard. He was sent out of the city due to illness two years ago. Fortunately, he met Xinyi and her group and saved his life. Ade was disheartened by the actions of the court, so he finally stayed in the village.

Ade was a big man, and he rushed in quickly. Zhao Wuyang was hit so hard that he saw stars, but he knew that if it wasn't an emergency, Ade wouldn't be so panicked, so before he could stand still, he hurriedly asked what happened. "Outside... there are so many... so many zombies outside! They want to eat people... we can't hold on anymore..." Ade said in fear and breathlessness.

Zombies?!
Could it be those people from before?
It shouldn't be...

The zombies we met before were a little clumsy in their speech and behavior, but they were very rational. How could they suddenly come to a village of living people to eat people?

Zhao Wuyang didn't have time to think about it. He just asked Ade to stay and help, and hurried to the village entrance.

There was chaos at the entrance of the village. The person leading everyone in the defense was a former captain in the army and a scout on the battlefield. Everyone called him Captain Gan.

Captain Gan was seriously injured and almost died, and was abandoned by the army on the battlefield. When he was waiting for death, he met Caiwei who came down the mountain to gain experience. With her careful treatment, he was able to save his life. After that, he followed Caiwei all the time and traveled with her until the current incident happened, and he never left.

When the village was first established, Captain Gan started working on the defense of the village. However, due to limited manpower, he could only make some simple fences and wooden doors. Although they were not as strong as city gates that could withstand a large army, they were more than enough to defend against the occasional visiting zombies.

However, the zombies that came today were very different.

The zombies had an extremely foul odor that could be smelled from a distance, making them very easy to identify. However, the zombies I had encountered before were all able to talk properly, but today, they would bite anyone they saw, as if they were possessed.

When Zhao Wuyang arrived, he felt as if he was in a hungry ghost hell. The wooden door at the entrance of the village was almost falling apart. A pair of rotten gray hands kept reaching in, scratching, and digging. The dead flesh between their fingers was rotting. The broken wooden door was covered with blood and flesh, and it was a horrifying red. The men who were holding the door had their clothes torn to shreds, and bloodstains all over their bodies and faces were shocking.

Even if one were scratched like this by a living person, it would easily cause convulsions, not to mention that these zombies might have corpse poison.

Although I have heard Lingxiang say that corpse poison is just an epidemic disease, and if it is diagnosed and treated in time, it will not be fatal, but corpse poison disease is also painful! Moreover, the plants are dry now, who can guarantee that they can find all the medicine?

Just as Zhao Wuyang was about to step forward to help, the wooden door finally couldn't bear the weight and completely fell apart. The wooden pillars scattered everywhere, clanging, and the people blocking the door were also knocked to the ground.

The zombies rushed in, howling and climbing like vicious wolves in the mountains. Among them were the group that the three of them had placed earlier.

The people who fell to the ground were the first to suffer. The zombies opened their bloody mouths and tore their flesh and blood. Their wails reached the sky, and cries for help came one after another.

After all, Captain Gan was a military veteran, so he acted decisively and swung his axe at the zombies. However, the zombies seemed to feel no pain. Even with their limbs broken, they still twisted their bodies, crawled on the ground and bit the living people.

Seeing this, Zhao Wuyang hurried forward to help, but after raising his sword, he hesitated.

The girl in front of him was wearing a pigtail. Although he knew that the shell was not the real body, Zhao Wuyang just couldn't bring himself to kill her. Besides, he had just talked to her a few days ago.
Just as Zhao Wuyang was hesitating, two zombies grabbed him tightly and bit his neck with their bloody mouths.

As the roar was heard, a black shadow suddenly appeared and flashed by. Without any weapon, it chopped the zombies in half in the blink of an eye and attached a yellow talisman to them.

This is……

"Lotus Heart Sword Intention!"
