Liaozhai Great Sage

Chapter 216 Epidemic
Just after Li Xiuyuan bid farewell and left Hua County.

It can be said that the Zhang Mansion in Huaxian County is constantly busy.

Not only because of the wedding ceremony for the newborn son, but also to clean up and clean the yard.

Because when the Zhang family woke up, they found that the yard was full of tattered copper, gold, and silver pieces.

After collecting the gold, silver and copper, I calculated carefully, but found that there was no more, no less, exactly thirty-six thousand catties.

This surprised Zhang Xiangui and Zhang Yuanwai.

Because this is the same as what Li Xiuyuan said, there are [-] jin of gold, silver and copper, which can be used to repair the Leigong Temple, and the excess money should be given back to the people in the county.

At this moment, the entire Zhang family believed in Li Xiuyuan's words, and felt that it was necessary to do a good job in this important event that benefited the country and the people.

At this moment, Li Xiuyuan and the guards were galloping on the road, heading towards Guo Beicheng.

The delay in coming out this time was a bit long. Originally, Zhang Yingjie would come back after being sent to reincarnation. How could so many things have happened, and it was delayed for four or five days.

You must know that Guo Beicheng is still providing disaster relief at this moment, and the disaster is not over yet.

Although the important matter has been resolved, Li Xiuyuan can leave temporarily, but he can't leave for too long, Guo Beicheng still needs him to preside over the important matter.

"I hope there will be no troubles in the city these few days." He secretly thought.

After riding for dozens of miles, he took a break in the middle and continued on his way.

In the afternoon, he had already entered the boundary of Guo Beicheng.

Compared with the previous few days, there are no victims along the road.

I don't know if there is a safe place, or if I have fled to other places.

Li Xiuyuan frowned, looking along the road, a rotten stench wafted in the wind, making people want to vomit.

"Young Master, this is the smell of rotting corpses. The bodies of the people who were drowned in the previous disaster have already rotted at this time. I don't know how many corpses are rotting under the loess and in the woods at this time." The guard held his nose. road.

"The dead are already dead, but the living still need to live. I hope that all the efforts I have made in the city are not in vain." Li Xiuyuan said; "Quicken up, we will return to the city before nightfall today."

The two guards responded and immediately continued on their way.

Soon, Li Xiuyuan saw some people on the road to Guo Beicheng.

There was a family that seemed to be going out for a funeral. There were about [-] people wearing sackcloth and filial piety. Four strong men were carrying a coffin that seemed to be coming from the direction of Guo Beicheng. They didn't know where they were going to be buried.

"Is there anyone going to be buried in the city?" Li Xiuyuan's eyes were fixed immediately.

"Hearing what the young master said, the young one also felt strange. Before we left the city, didn't we have people move all the corpses out of the city and bury them?" The guard also asked a little strangely.

"I'm afraid there are still some people who don't want to bury their relatives casually, so they secretly hid the corpses." Another guard said.

"Let's talk in the city."

Li Xiuyuan glanced at the coffin passing by, and was about to drive away, but he didn't know if it was his own illusion, he saw the coffin suddenly vibrate.

"Ok?"

His expression moved slightly, and he asked: "May I ask you, what happened to this coffin, it seemed to vibrate just now, are you really pretending to be a dead person?"

The leader was a pale young man. He was dressed in hemp and mourning, and seemed to be the heir of the deceased. Hearing Li Xiuyuan's question, he immediately coughed a few times: "Why does the coffin vibrate so well? This My friend, you must have read it wrong."

"Really?" Li Xiuyuan took another look.

The heavy coffin shook violently again, and the movement was even louder than before. Even the coffin boards were tilted up, and the coffin nails on the coffin couldn't block the things inside. It seemed that the people inside the coffin were not human. But evil.

It is impossible for a human being to have such great strength to open such a heavy coffin.

The pale-faced man hurriedly rushed over, threw himself on the coffin board, and shouted: "Quick, pour dog blood in it, I can't hold down the coffin board soon."

The funeral attendees next to him seemed to have been prepared for a long time. They brought a pot of dog blood and poured it into the tilted coffin board at the right time.

"Bangdang~!"

Only then did the raised coffin boards fall heavily.

"Hoo~!"

The pale man let out a sigh of relief.

Li Xiuyuan pulled the reins and rode over: "Spray dog ​​blood? The corpse in the coffin is a fake corpse?"

"No, that's not the case." The pale man said hastily.

"That's a fraudulent corpse. This coffin cannot be buried and needs to be burned, otherwise sooner or later it will come out of the coffin and endanger the world. How can a wooden coffin stop evil things? After all, no matter how thick a coffin is, it will rot Time." Li Xiuyuan said.

The pale-faced man became anxious immediately; "Who are you and what is your intention to burn my father's body? My father told me before he was alive that he will be buried in the ground after death. I will not burn my father's body anyway." The one who dropped the coffin."

"Yu Xiao, your father's body has turned into an evil thing. If you don't get rid of it today, it will be a bigger threat in the future. Do you want your father to be treated as an evil thing by cultivators in the future?" Li Xiuyuan shouted.

The pale man couldn't help hesitating at this moment.

Obviously, he didn't want to see what Li Xiuyuan said happened.

"Since your father is dead and you want to be buried in the ground, you should be cremated and buried in the ground. Otherwise, even if you bury it at this time, you will pop out of the coffin later. At that time, it will be called the real death. Peace." Li Xiuyuan said.

"Young master, what this young master said is correct. It is better to follow this young master's suggestion and cremate the master on the spot and forcefully bury it. Disasters will definitely happen in the future." A servant who was traveling with him said.

The pale man thought for a while and said: "No, it can't be burned. I must let my father's body be buried."

"Since you can't persuade me, don't blame me for offending. For the sake of other people's lives in the future, I will not let this evil thing go to the ground."

After Li Xiuyuan finished speaking, he jumped up from the horse and landed on the coffin board with a bang.

Grabbed it from the ghost king's bag, and took out the golden spear.

"A stranger, a stranger."

When the others saw that Li Xiuyuan took out such a big rod from a small cloth bag, they immediately opened their eyes wide in surprise.

Li Xiuyuan swiped his big gun, and a gap was torn open in the coffin board.

Through this gap, he could see an old man with a blue face lying inside, skinny all over, exuding a cold breath.

The other corpses had decayed by this time, but this corpse showed no signs of decay.

Stretched out a big gun, drew several strokes at the corpse, cut off the corpse's legs, arms, neck, and multiple bones, to ensure that the corpse would not be able to move even if it was a fake corpse. It can't hurt people anymore.

After the bones of the corpse were severed, the corpse shook a few times, as if it wanted to resist, but there was nothing it could do.

"If you don't want to be cremated, you can bury the corpse in a place facing the sun, which can ensure that the corpse will not do evil in the future." Li Xiuyuan said.

In a sunny place, the yang qi is heavy, and the yin qi of the corpse in the coffin will soon dissipate. Without the gathering of yin qi, the corpse will rot soon, and it will not become evil by then.

After doing all this, Li Xiuyuan jumped on the horse again, put away his big gun, called his guards and left immediately.

The pale-faced man was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly took a look into his father's coffin, and saw that although his father's body had a few scratches, it was at least a complete body.

But when he saw his father's body shaking non-stop, he was terrified, and hurriedly ordered others to repair the coffin boards, and then buried them in a sunny place.

"Young master, the corpse is evil, why not forcefully burn it on fire." The guard said; "We did a good job, we have a lot of corpses, and we will definitely become ghosts and evil spirits in the future, coming out to harm people."

"There's no time, didn't you notice that the man was pale and coughed continuously, and the female family members in the team were also sick. It's understandable for one person to have this kind of situation, but it's not right if so many people have this kind of situation. "

Li Xiuyuan looked up at Guo Beicheng not far away and said, "If I guessed correctly, there should be a disease in the city."

Sure enough, what I was most worried about happened.
