Becoming an Immortal from the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 189
The handsome man was Fang Qian, the exorcist. He sat on an open chair with his arms around Meiji, and let the docile Meiji keep feeding the chopped fruit into his mouth.

Looking from the city wall, the vast world beyond Pengcheng is dark and lonely, and nothing can be seen clearly.

It had been a long time since everyone had been gathered here urgently, and the night wind was strong, but no one complained or left.

It's not just because they are accompanied by the anti-epidemic envoys, but because a major event related to the life and death of the people of Pengcheng will happen tonight.

The silent night sky flows for a long time, and the whole process is boring and depressing.

In such a night, something seems to be happening.

It seemed to be the sound of flapping wings, like a flock of birds flying by in the cold night.

Everyone was shocked and looked into the distance.

However, due to the dense darkness, people can only vaguely see the deep outlines of the mountains in the distance, and the rest cannot be seen clearly at all.

The frivolity on Fang Qian's face disappeared after the epidemic was expelled. He pushed away Mei Ji and came to the crenel: "Put out the fire!"

The order was passed down step by step, and the brazier near the crenel was quickly extinguished.

The eyes could hardly see in the short time when the light disappeared, but they quickly adapted to the cold darkness, and they could even see more clearly than when there was light.

In the distant sky, there seemed to be flocks of birds flying high.

A strange and sharp sound soon sounded near Pengcheng, and from the west of Pengcheng, a flock of birds seemed to fly up.

The number of birds in the flock was uncountable, and everyone felt like a black cloud was coming, hovering over Pengcheng, covering the sky and the moon.

Soon someone recognized the place: "That place is a mass grave, but I have never heard of such a huge flock of birds inhabiting there."

Soon someone suggested: "Should I send someone over to take a look?"

More people looked up at the flock of birds gathered on Pengcheng.

The anti-epidemic envoy Fang Qian looked in the direction of the mass grave and shook his head: "If you go, you will die. Come here, bring the things up!"

Soon there were officers and soldiers carrying an iron cage for prisoners on death row, and a huge bird-catching net in addition.

An officer and soldier stepped forward, pulled out a sharp knife and stabbed the arm of the prisoner in the cage, and the bright red blood flowed out quickly.

The rest of the officers and soldiers spread out the bird-catching nets and covered them over the iron cages.

After doing all this, the people on the city wall entered the tower, looking at the iron cage left on the city wall through the gaps in the doors and windows.

After a while, an abnormal sound was suddenly heard among the flock of birds gathered above Pengcheng.

A large group of birds swooped down and rushed towards the iron cage on the city wall.The bird net also vibrated violently and kept making noise.

Soon the flock of birds broke through the bird net and gathered on the iron cage where the death row prisoners were kept, layer upon layer, wrapping the iron cage airtight.

A shrill scream came from the iron cage, and it was the extremely terrified voice of the death row prisoner: "Go away! Ah—! Go away! Let me out! Please let me out! They are eating me!"

The screams pierced the scalp, it was utterly tragic.

The screams became louder and louder, then weakened a little bit, and gradually turned into muffled groans, and finally disappeared.

Under Fang Qian's leadership, everyone walked out of the city tower, and the brazier on the city wall was quickly lit.

In the light of the flames, the death row prisoner in the iron cage had turned into a pile of scattered bones, with black feathers remaining everywhere.

And the bird net had already broken a large hole, and many places were wrapped up. It seemed that something was struggling inside, and at the same time it was making strange squeaking noises.

Under everyone's horrified gazes, Fang Qian stepped forward and grabbed the thing that was entangled in the bird net.

What appeared in Fang Qian's hands was a strange bird.

This bird looks like a crow, with black feathers all over its body, but it is much larger than ordinary crows.

And the most strange thing is that on the neck of the bird is a pocket-sized human head, wearing a small feather crown, but it has a ferocious face, and its mouth is full of fangs like steel needles, squeaking and screaming. , full of dark eyes emitting a cold cold light.

Seeing the strange bird in his hand, Fang Qian frowned: "It turned out to be a plague like the Black Feather Plague Ghost, which is far more serious than imagined."

Then, the power of inheritance in Fang Qian's hand surged, and the strange bird suddenly screamed sharply, and soon turned into wisps of black air and dissipated.

The county magistrate of Pengcheng stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "My lord, this strange bird still has a plague."

With a smile on Fang Qian's face, he hugged the county magistrate and laughed at everyone: "Don't worry, this is just a very common plague, we can handle it. Don't be afraid of those strange birds above your head, unless you are caught by the smell of blood." Attract them, otherwise they won’t land easily, if there are strange birds descending in the city, just order the night guards and people in the film industry to drive them away with flames. As long as the sun rises, they will all be sunburned to death.”

Hearing what Fang Qian said, everyone felt a little more at ease.

Fang Qian then looked at the county magistrate and You Mingxuan again: "The stability of Peng County depends on the hard work of the two of you, so let's follow our plan and countermeasures during the day to weather the catastrophe together."

The county magistrate and You Mingxuan hurriedly nodded and said yes.

There are also flocks of birds gathering farther away, most of them are circling over the inhabited land, making strange calls again and again.

No one would feel comfortable in such a scene, and all hope was focused on Fang Qian, the exorcist.

Fang Qian looked around coldly with a pair of eyes, but said with a frivolous smile: "Everyone has worked hard, come here! Bring the banquet, let's drink and eat on the city wall first, and see if there is anything else. Get out of this dark night."

As he said that, Fang Qian grabbed the two beauties and sat back on the bench to kiss them continuously, which made the two beauties giggle.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, the strange bird that appeared tonight made them feel apprehensive and fearful, and they didn't plan to stay for a long time.But the exorcists had let go, and they could only stay on the city wall as companions.

All eyes are looking into the distance, and I hope nothing horrible will appear this night.

……

Zhang Yuqing stared at Princess Youyue, thinking why this evil spirit was so different.

After thinking about it, Zhang Yuqing slowly said to Princess You Yue: "Your sister is in my hands."

Princess Youyue's cold face was startled first, then angry, but finally she had to lower her head: "What are you going to do to let my sister go?"

Zhang Yuqing stretched out two fingers and pinched Princess Youyue's crystal chin: "If you want your sister to be safe, you'd better obey me obediently. Whatever I want you to do, do it."

Princess Youyue's phoenix eyes were full of anger: "Don't even think about it! You'd better kill me now, otherwise I will definitely find a chance to take revenge! Besides, you said that my sister is in your hands, so I will believe it? Unless you let me See her with your own eyes!"

Zhang Yuqing let go of her fingers and said with a smile: "Not only will I not kill you today, but I can count as saving you. Let's talk about things in the future. Do you want to see your sister? Open the tricky door to Pengcheng for me, and you can Meet your sister."

Zhang Yuqing didn't know how long it would take if he wanted to find the formation, but now Princess Youyue seemed to know the formation to leave, so he could use her to help him return to Pengcheng first.

Princess You Yue didn't answer right away, but seemed to be thinking about the credibility of Zhang Yuqing's promise.

Zhang Yuqing is so powerful, she doesn't seem to have a choice.On the contrary, it is better to make false claims with him first, and then find a chance to rescue her after she has figured out where her sister really is.

After contemplating, Princess Youyue finally said: "If you keep your word, I can take you to Pengcheng in exchange—"

Speaking of this, Princess Youyue suddenly stopped, staring straight at Zhang Yuqing with a pair of phoenix eyes, as if seeing something unbelievable.

Zhang Yuqing frowned: "What's wrong?"

Princess Youyue didn't speak, she just saw a woman in red lying on Zhang Yuqing's back.He was sticking out his head from Zhang Yuqing's shoulder, smiling at himself.

That woman looked like an evil spirit, but Princess You Yue couldn't detect any evil spirit.

And it made her feel a weird and gloomy feeling, a piercing sense of fear emerged from the depths of her heart.

It would be a joke to say that ghosts are also frightened by ghosts.

But at this moment Princess Youyue was really scared, it was a kind of fear of facing natural enemies.It made her shudder from the bottom of her heart, and she couldn't help avoiding the gaze of the woman in red.

Gathering her mind, Princess Youyue looked over Zhang Yuqing's back again, but the woman in red was nowhere to be seen, as if she had never appeared before.

Seeing that Zhang Yuqing didn't seem to know all this, Princess Youyue wanted to remind her, but she suddenly closed her mouth.

Since Zhang Yuqing didn't know the woman in red behind him, why should he remind him kindly.

The woman in red didn't know what it was, but it was definitely something extremely evil. If this kind of thing was on Zhang Yuqing's body, how could Zhang Yuqing be safe and sound.

So Princess Youyue suppressed her uneasiness: "It's nothing, I just remembered some other things. Come with me, I will take you out of here."

Led by Princess Youyue, Zhang Yuqing finally came to a white formation.

Xie Chong seems to have a natural advantage in finding a formation in this kind of place.If Zhang Yuqing hadn't been guided by Princess Youyue, he might not have been able to find it.

There is a lot of smog here, and maybe a formation is hidden in the smog 100 meters away, and you will miss it if you go a little bit off.

He stood on the stage, and the surrounding scenery changed rapidly. When everything became clear again, Zhang Yuqing was already standing on the mass grave.

With the appearance of Zhang Yuqing, a strange bird call sounded all around.

It turned out that crow-like black birds kept appearing out of thin air above the mass grave, circling and running around, and many of them rushed towards Zhang Yuqing.

Flames burst out from Zhang Yuqing's hands, and those monsters with human heads and bird bodies screamed and fled away.

Soon, the figure of Princess Youyue appeared half a mile away out of nowhere, and she quickly came to Zhang Yuqing, and said in surprise: "You can use the trick door? You are not evil, but you don't have to be like a noble family." Forcibly opening the trick door, what on earth are you?"

But Zhang Yuqing didn't answer. He looked towards the place not far to the east of the mass grave, where groups of black bird monsters suddenly appeared, and then spread their wings and flew high.

As if attracted by something, all these strange birds flew over Pengcheng, gathering and circling in the sky like dark clouds.

"What are these monsters?" Zhang Yuqing asked.

He could feel that these blackbirds were a kind of weak evil spirits, but it was particularly unusual for so many evil spirits to be sent to the outskirts of Pengcheng from behind the trick door.

"It should be a kind of plague ghost," Princess Youyue replied, "There is a powerful existence behind the Sly Gate, called 'Yiwang', it likes to create plagues and diseases in the world of living people, and the plague ghost is the minion of Yiwang."

After explaining, Princess Youyue continued: "We have arrived in Pengcheng, so please take me to see my sister!"

"Don't worry, remember, I said that you can do whatever you want."

Seeing Zhang Yuqing's actions, Princess Youyue couldn't help taking a step back, her face furious: "What can we do with one ghost? Don't be rude! Wait, are you going to"

The scorching breath spread violently on the mass grave, and the remains of the surrounding weeds were scorched in the flames.

Princess You Yue hurriedly avoided, fearing that it would be affected.

The huge flame body began to rise slowly, flying towards the flock of birds above Pengcheng.

The people on the city wall stayed up most of the night, all sleepy and tired.

They kept staring into the distance, but apart from those black strange birds, no other monsters appeared.

The anti-epidemic made Fang Qian even more miserable. He lay down on the bench and fell asleep with the two beauties in his arms, snoring from time to time.

At this time, there are still spirits, that is, people from the Star Demon Sea and the government. They gathered together and discussed for a long time.In the face of the plague, there are too many things that need to be prepared and planned, and the mutual cooperation of both parties is also required.

An officer and soldier standing at the crenel dozed off with a spear in his hand. When he woke up suddenly, he seemed to be attracted by the western suburbs.He rubbed his eyes and asked in confusion, "Is the forest on fire over there?"

Immediately afterwards, his eyes and mouth grew suddenly, and he pointed at the place where the flames rose and shouted in horror: "Fire, what a big fire! Look!"

Following the shouts of the officers and soldiers, everyone under the city tower was disturbed one after another.

The first person to react was Fang Qian, the exorcist.

The moment the officers and soldiers yelled, he jumped out of Meiji's arms, and the whole person instantly came to the crenel and looked into the distance.

Everyone was amazed by this clever movement, and they followed Fang Qian to the crenel to look far away.

The flame in the dark night was particularly obvious. Even if they were far away, everyone could clearly see that it was a giant covered in red flames.

"What's that?" Someone asked in horror.

But no one could answer him.

Then, I saw that fireman spread his wings and flew up, flying higher and higher.

Suddenly someone exclaimed: "Flying towards us!"

The flame monster in the sky was flying in the direction of Pengcheng.

Seeing such a monster approaching, everyone on the city wall was terrified.

Faced with such a huge and terrifying evil, they were all panicked for a moment, and all turned their attention to Fang Qian. Only the plague exorcist, who was born in a family, was the only backbone at present.

Fang Qian, on the other hand, frowned tightly, with a serious expression on his face.

Even though they were far away, he could still feel the terrifying explosion and mighty power contained in that flame monster.

Fang Qian knew in his heart that he would never be able to withstand the attack of the flame monster. For a while, he even thought of fleeing from Pengcheng.

"Where did this evil come from?" Fang Qian cursed inwardly, "Why have I never received any information about it? There is absolutely no such evil under King Yi! Just popping up at this time, do you want to take advantage of the chaos to plunder the flesh and blood of living people? Damn it!"

The huge flame giant flew closer and closer, and the heat wave it set off had spread to the top of the city.

As the distance got closer, the people at the top of the city felt the trembling in their hearts, and they couldn't help but backed away.
