Chapter 926: Using me to establish your authority?
Looking at the piles of corpses, the unpleasant smell stimulated several people. Soon, they heard several nauseous vomiting sounds and footsteps running backwards quickly. Turning around, they found that Yun Qinghan had already run to the side of the road and started vomiting bitterly. This action was like turning on a chain switch. Jie Xinyu, Zhong Baixuan, and Ling Yu jumped off the donkey and started vomiting on the side of the road.
Even though Changqing was mentally prepared, he couldn't help but feel his stomach churning when he heard the noises from several people.
After they calmed down, Chang Qing finally spoke: "I want to ask you a favor."
Yun Qinghan waved his hand, dismissing Changqing's comments. "Since we've come across this, we naturally can't just sit back and watch. Corpses are piling up, and the weather is getting hotter, which could easily lead to plagues. Since we've become mortals, we should prioritize the safety of mortals."
Chang Qing smiled slightly. He vaguely felt that this place was filled with resentment. The souls of these corpses were full of resentment. They hated being exposed in the wilderness and resented the shortness of life. If he did nothing about it, it would surely cause trouble. On the other hand, he came into the world to balance the bad consequences with good causes. When he encountered this situation, he could not just walk away.
He patted the donkey and let it take the other donkeys to graze on their own. The donkeys given by the Dust Demon were all quite spiritual and got along very well with the few people.
Chang Qing took out a few shovels. As a cultivator, he dug a double-deep grave in less than ten breaths. Yun Qinghan touched the mud on his face and climbed out of the pit. Looking at the corpse that Chang Qing had carried over and squatting beside him, he said indignantly: "Hey, we are busy as hell, and you are slacking off here, right!"
Chang Qing moved aside and saw dozens of bodies already lying on the ground. "We're not making a mass grave. Since they need to be buried in peace, it's best to bury them with their families. This can also dispel some of the resentment from their untimely deaths. This is the safest approach."
"Do you dislike my lack of effort? How about you do it?" Changqing made a gesture of invitation.
Yun Qinghan smiled awkwardly: "Xiao Qingzi, how did you know who was related to whom? It can't be that the dead told you personally. Tell me! Did you use spiritual power?"
Chang Qing's eyes seemed to light up slightly in the dark night: "No, I can vaguely see a line, a line connecting their relationship."
"Freak!" Yun Qinghan muttered jealously and started digging the hole again.
Time passed with the sound of the shovel rubbing against the wet mud. The sky darkened completely, the rain became much lighter, and bursts of flames approached rapidly from downstream.
"Fellow villagers, this is the place. Bury the bodies as soon as possible. Otherwise, if evil spirits gather together, a plague will surely break out."
A deep voice sounded, and a large number of echoes echoed behind him.
Ignoring all this, Changqing continued to do his job. He didn't want to lose the good deeds he had earned.
A large group of straw raincoats appeared, and torches kept making crackling sounds in the rain. But when they crossed countless collapsed trees and came to this place, they were dumbfounded. There were several rows of corpses neatly arranged on the ground, and graves appeared in the distance.
The leader of the team was a young man. He rubbed his eyes, looked at this strange scene, and muttered, "Could it be that I saw a ghost?"
The young men behind him suddenly saw a 'corpse' flying in the shadows, and their eyes widened immediately: "Ghost~~~~"
In the dim firelight, everyone saw the flying corpse and immediately became agitated.
Suddenly, someone else saw a white shadow approaching at a speed exceeding that of a mortal. They were frightened and pointed at the rapidly approaching white shadow with trembling fingers: "Female...female...female ghost!"
The people behind me kept pushing and shoving, and I was almost scared to death.
"Hey, how can you talk like that! You're the devil! I haven't lived long enough!" Yun Qinghan stood before the crowd in the firelight, hands on her hips, and started to rant. She had been digging a pit, and when she saw so many people coming, she thought she'd finally found some help. She climbed out and tried to approach them, but her kindness was taken for granted, and she was so angry she was almost crooked.
Seeing a pretty girl covered in mud, everyone put down their hoes and shovels. When they turned around, their hearts skipped a beat. A bloated male corpse was almost hitting their faces. This scared them so much that they started swearing.
Only when they got closer did everyone see clearly that the male corpse was being carried by a man in black, and he was carrying the body without any protection.
"You've come at the right time. Follow my instructions and finish the job as soon as possible!" Chang Qing spoke suddenly, his words sounding particularly clear in the darkness.
Behind the leading man came a strong man in his forties. He was unaffected by the rain, dressed in fine clothes, and had a strong physique. There was a scar on his cheek from a sharp weapon. He was also a man of great cultivation, having reached the peak of the Sutra Expansion level. He was intimidating without being angry, and it was obvious that he was the leader of this group. "Who are you? Your origins are unknown, so why should I listen to you?"
"That's right. You are dressed elegantly and look young. Any young man or young lady who would be willing to do such a thing would have run away long ago." Some townspeople looked at them with puzzled eyes.
"Are you trying to make money from the dead?"
"Maybe there's some hidden secret!"
Yun Qinghan raised his eyebrows slightly, a glint of fire flashed in his eyes, and he obviously wanted to take action. The seal on his arm had quietly begun to bloom like a flower, preparing to break the seal.
At that moment, the young man who had led the group quickly stepped forward and waved a torch at the crowd. "Everyone, everyone, as you can see, these corpses are all covered in coarse linen. I think they are the remains of villagers washed away by the flood a few days ago. What's the point of taking them? Besides, these people are travelers who came here with me. We discovered this pile of corpses and were afraid of the plague. That's why I led the caravan to report it first."
Everyone looked at the young man suspiciously. It was obvious that he was frightened just now. If they were in the same group, how could he behave like this?
Chang Qing smiled slightly at the young man's cover, slowly put the man's body aside, strode forward, and clapped his hands: "I asked him to go, as for why you listen to me-"
Changqing lightly punched a tree half a man's thickness. A tooth-aching sound of wood cracking was heard, and the tree fell to the side of the road with a whimper.
The man's pupils shrank sharply. Even with his level of cultivation, it was impossible for him to knock down a tree with a single punch. Moreover, he hadn't noticed any spiritual energy fluctuations when the upright young man in black attacked. How could it be possible?!
Changqing retracted his fist.
Dashu: Are you using me to establish your authority? I…
This tree, several meters tall, never expected that it could withstand the flood, but it couldn't withstand the show-off of a bastard.
"Do you have any questions?" Changqing's voice rang out along with the roar of falling trees. The mottled firelight fell on Changqing's face, and the serious face reflected there was a bit eerie, like a monster, staring at everyone.
The young man was also shocked. He didn't expect the other party to be so terrifying.
Townspeople: “…”
So fierce, why didn't you say it earlier!!
