The Trick of Longevity, Paper-cutting Becomes a Spirit

Chapter 450: Soldiers Arrive at the Capital
The Imperial City is located in Bianliang City, the capital.

Logically speaking, the leader of the Moon Worshiping Cult should have asked him to meet somewhere outside Bianliang City.

Could it be said that within these two days, he was going to capture Bianliang City and then use his majestic troops to attack the imperial city head-on?
This is not like the style of the Lunar Worship Cult!
Lu Qian suddenly realized that he had been overseas these days, and there might have been another major incident on this continent.

Could it be that the zombie swarm has completely spread?
Lu Qian didn't ask this question.

After the leader of the Moon Worshiping Cult finished speaking, he sat on the throne and left.

Seeing the yellow light disappearing into the night sky, Lu Qian also drove the white tiger and turned around to fly north.

After crossing Haiya Island, Lu Qian began to turn and fly northwest.

It only took more than an hour for Lu Qian to see the mainland.

According to the direction calculation, this should be located at the northernmost end of Hebei Road.

Further north is Wuqin Grassland.

Naturally, no one had any objection to this.

Lu Qian grabbed Zuo Qiuling's wrist and said, "Don't touch my eyes. After I fall asleep, don't stand in the direct range of my left eye."

During the days after entering the secret realm under the sea, Lu Qian had not rested, and his spirit could no longer bear it.

There is still one or even countless battles waiting for him ahead. If he wants to rest next, I am afraid it will not be easy.

Moreover, these villages do not seem to have been invaded, and the villagers should have left spontaneously.

The night is vast, and the mountains in the distance are stacked on top of each other, hidden in the dark night.

"But it has only been more than ten days. It seems that some big changes have happened on this continent."

The nearby mountain cols, and even two other villages to the west and south, were all deserted.

Lu Qian said to everyone: "Be careful, I'll take a nap."

Seeing the blood stain on Lu Qian's left cheek and his shining left eye, Zuo Qiuling immediately remembered the shocking scene when Lu Qian reached out to dig out his own eye. She couldn't help but reach out and touch his cheek, saying: "Mr. , do your eyes still hurt?"

Zuo Qiuling stood up and left, then brought a chair over and sat on the bedside.

The weather at night was still a bit cold.

Lu Qian saw this small village and stopped dozens of miles away.

Not long after, other people came back one after another.

Then, Lu Qian rode the white tiger to the ground and waited quietly.

Everyone discussed for a while, and finally Lu Qian said: "Let's go to the village ahead to rest for a while."

After thinking for a while, he ordered: "Ling'er and Yingying go to check the village in front. The others disperse and search within a radius of sixty miles."

"It seems that they had foreseen some danger and they all ran for their lives."

At their current speed, it wouldn't take much effort to search the surrounding area for sixty miles.

Nearly half an hour later, Zuo Qiuling and Qin Yingying came back and said: "There is no one in the village. It seems that they left in a hurry. They only took away small items and not even large items."

The paper brides responded, then dispersed and flew forward.

Everyone continued to fly forward and arrived at the village. Under the leadership of Zuo Qiuling, everyone arrived at a house that looked relatively wealthy.

"What time is it?"

"Yes. Mr., please go to sleep."

He needed a break to refresh himself.

“It’s not surprising that a catastrophe is coming.”

Lu Qian was really exhausted at this time, so he lay down and fell asleep directly.

When I opened my eyes again, it was already bright.

In the house, only large pieces of furniture were left, and the quilts on the bed were swept away, leaving only a bottom layer.

Sun Zhuzhao's night vision ability is much stronger than Lu Qian's previous mental power coverage.

Lu Qian flew for a while and saw a small village at the foot of the mountain ahead.

"Yes."

"Could it be...that the zombie wave is about to spread here?"

Lu Qian was preparing to sneak back to the mainland from the northernmost point.

Although this was just a remote mountain village, Lu Qian was cautious and did not rush to use his mental power to reach out and detect it.

It's early spring, but the ground beneath our feet is still barren.

There were no lights on in the entire village, and it was unusually quiet in the night.

Although it was pitch black in front of him, Lu Qian's left eye was as bright as day, and everything was clearly visible.

At this time, even if Qingxuan Guan and the imperial court reacted, they would not be able to rush here to intercept him.

Zuo Qiuling winked at the girls and signaled them to go out and be on guard, while she stayed behind, simply tidied the bed, and helped Lu Qian lie down.

Lu Qian asked, looking at the sunshine outside the window.

"It's almost past noon."

Zuo Qiuling was still sitting on the chair beside the bed, not moving from beginning to end.

"Ms. sir, I'm going to the kitchen to see if the food is ready."

Zuo Qiuling said, got up and left. Not long after, she came back again, holding a broken earthen jar in her hand.

Ji Siyu followed Zuo Qiuling, also holding a broken earthen pot, sticking out her tongue and saying: "Mr. Sir, let's just eat something. When we get back to the town, let's buy some more food. It's really strange that there's not even one on the nearby mountain. The rabbits can’t even see it.”

Lu Qian naturally didn't care about this. He filled his stomach randomly, and by this time the other paper brides had also been summoned back.

After packing up, we continued on our way.

The sun is very good today, and it makes people feel warm.

The mountains remain the same, the fields are barren, and the river flows gently.

However, the strange thing is that as they walked this way, they could not see a single person.

Not even a single bird or animal was seen.

Every village and market town was deserted, with not a single soul in sight.

At this time, Lu Qian and others were standing on the main street of a county town.

On both sides of the street, the doors of shops and courtyards were open, and the signs on the doors were still bright in the sun.

However, in the huge county town, not even a single person could be seen.

Seeing this, everyone realized that something big might have happened on the mainland.

"Where have all these people gone?"

Guo Tuan shrugged and said, "Either go south or north. They won't run west anyway."

Hearing Guo Tui's words, Ao Lanxi's expression suddenly changed and said: "They...won't all run to the grassland, right?"

On the grassland?
Grassland has always been a forbidden land for humans.

However, if the entire mainland is now full of zombies, then it is not absolutely impossible to go to the Wuqin Grassland this season...

Guo Tu pointed at a high mountain in the distance and said, "Ms. sir, that should be Hantan Mountain. Should we go there and have a look?"

Hantan Mountain.

Hearing these three words, Lu Qian immediately remembered that Xiao Ran, the saint of Hantan Mountain, had sent an invitation to him to go to Hantan Mountain.

Unexpectedly, after turning around, he came to the foot of Hantan Mountain again.

Before Lu Qian could answer, suddenly everyone sensed something and turned their heads to look south.

I saw a large group of crows flying towards here in the southern sky.

Before the group of crows flew close, everyone actually heard that while flying, these crows were actually speaking human words and shouting in strange voices.

Dozens of crows shouted together, which was quite impressive.

However, upon hearing the content of their shouts, everyone’s expressions changed:
"The immortals of the Dali Kingdom have decreed that the inheritors of the paper-cutting technique should be killed. Anyone who sees Lu Qian must assemble in groups and kill them——"

"The immortals of the Dali Kingdom have decreed to kill the successors of the paper-cutting technique. Anyone who sees Lu Qiang will assemble and kill them——"...

These crows are like repeaters, repeating this sentence over and over again. As they spoke, they passed over the county town and continued flying north.

Today is the second day since they returned from the secret place under the sea.

Unexpectedly, the Earth Immortal's killing order had actually reached the northernmost tip of Dali Kingdom.

They use crows that speak human words to deliver orders.

These crows fly very fast. If they spread in all directions, within a few days, this decree will spread to every corner of Dali.

However, although these messenger crows are fast, there is no one here to accept the order.

Zuo Qiuling curled her lips and said, "They are pretty good at it."

Guo Tu spread his hands and said, "Okay, let's not go to Hantan Mountain either."

Qin Yingying frowned, looked at Lu Qian hesitantly, and asked, "Mr. sir, what should we do? If we do this, wouldn't we become mice crossing the street now, everyone..."

Halfway through her words, when she saw all the girls glaring at her, Qin Yingying realized what she was saying and couldn't help but stick out her tongue, her face full of embarrassment.

When Lu Qian returned to the mainland, his original intention was to find some ghosts or zombies to kill. Unexpectedly, after running around for a day, he encountered nothing.

Now that the "Earth Immortal Killing Order" has spread, if Lu Qian goes out randomly at this time, once his whereabouts are exposed, he may fall into an endless pursuit.

Lu Qian didn't want to face this situation.

It wasn't that he was afraid of those people, but that such a large-scale massacre of human beings was a bit hard for Lu Qian to accept.

This time tomorrow will be the time he agreed with the leader of the Moon Worshiping Cult to break into the palace.

There will definitely be no shortage of prey in a big battle.

And there is still some time before the red moon arrives.

Thinking of this, Lu Qian said: "In that case, let's rest here for a day. It just so happens that I can also familiarize myself with swordsmanship."

Hearing Lu Qian's words, Ao Lan laughed and said, "Ms. sir, you are just sharpening your guns before the battle. Can you do it?"

……

……

The next day.

in the afternoon.

Lu Qian rode the white tiger, directly into the sky, above the white clouds, and flew south.

In this way, people on the ground cannot see him, and he naturally cannot see the situation on the ground.

This place is thousands of miles away from Bianliang, the capital, but at the speed of the white tiger, it only takes two hours to fly there.

When he flew nearly thirty miles away from Bianliang, he began to lose altitude.

After landing downward and passing through the clouds, Lu Qian and others saw the most spectacular scene they had ever seen in their lives.

At this time, the scorching sun has turned red and is falling to the west.

In the distance, a towering city stands on the flat land.

East, west, north and south, the two rivers are like two silver dragons, wagging their tails and intersecting.

Bianliang, the capital, sits where the two rivers intersect.

This is the largest city Lu Qian has ever seen in his life.

However, in this prosperous ancient capital, a huge smoke column suddenly erupted.

Black smoke pillars rose into the sky, adding a sense of desolation to it out of thin air.

Outside the city, on all sides.

The flat land was now covered with black heads.

As far as the eye could see, almost everywhere there were moving heads, and there was not a single blank ground in sight.

Only two large rivers drew four clear boundaries and cut the flow of people into four pieces.

The ground with a radius of dozens of miles has been completely submerged by the flow of people.

How many people does this have to be?

Seeing this scene, everyone, including Lu Qian, took a breath.

No wonder they couldn't see a single person along the way.

Is this where the entire Dali Kingdom has gathered?
Zuo Qiuling said subconsciously: "What...why are these people gathering here?"

Lu Qian sighed and said, "They are no longer human."

Before the red moon comes, the people of Dali Kingdom are already dying.

Guo Tu said: "They have all turned into zombies."

Qin Yingying heard this and said in disbelief: "How could there be so many...How could it be so fast?"

Lu Qian sighed again and said, "There is nothing impossible. Once the zombie tide overflows, the number of zombies will increase exponentially. The growth rate is far beyond your imagination."

Speaking of this, Lu Qian couldn't help but said angrily: "What on earth have the people in the court and the sect been doing during the ten days we have been away to allow such a thing to happen?"

Ao Lanxi sneered and said, "Until now, they are still busy encircling and suppressing our husband."

Lu Qian didn't know whether people from the imperial court and the sect were busy searching around and preparing to round up Lu Qian.

But Black Crow sent the order, and this was what they saw with their own eyes.

Even at this time, there were groups of black crows flying out of the city and flying in all directions.

Seeing these black crows, Zuo Qiuling shook her head and said, "It's unbelievable. I really don't know what the emperor and the others are thinking."

Lu Qian said calmly: "We'll find out later when we meet."

Seeing hundreds of millions of zombies, Lu Qian was heartbroken, but at the same time he was also filled with another complicated emotion.

The potential points he used to upgrade his paper-cutting skills were enough.

However, he was not ready to take action now.

Lu Qian knew very well where these zombies came from.

The Moon Worshiping Sect is preparing to use these zombies to attack Bianliang City.

At this moment, he was not ready to break up with the Moon Worship Cult.

Since everyone's purpose is the same, it's up to them to take the lead.

"Let's go."

Lu Qian said, riding the white tiger, he led everyone to fly forward.

From a distance, Lu Qian had already seen that the flag belonging to the Dali Kingdom had been removed from the wall of Bianliang City.

The city wall was now filled with men in black.

Even among the zombies, Lu Qian found many men in black among them.

Obviously, these are all Moon Worshipers.

These violent zombies were all well-behaved in front of the Moon Worshipers.

I really don’t know what means they use to drive these completely unconscious zombies.

Lu Qian carried the white tiger on his arm and flew directly to the tower of the north gate.

The men in black standing in front of the city tower had already seen Lu Qian and the others arriving.

However, they did not show any hostility. Instead, they spontaneously gave up a large area of ​​​​open space for Lu Qian to land.

Among the crowd, there was an old man who took two steps forward. He looked at Lu Qian with a cold face and said, "Are you Lu Qian?"

Lu Qian nodded and said, "Exactly."

The old man said: "I am Spica."
