Chapter 53 Back to the river beach, big changes
"Well, really."
Wang Yuan nodded.
He is always honest and never tells lies.
"Have you never had enough to eat since you came to the Golden Pagoda?"
Chen Wenjin's voice trembled slightly, and she felt a little distressed.
"I've eaten my fill, of course I've eaten my fill, but..."
Wang Yuan quickly answered.
"I get hungry quickly."
"~~~"
Chen Wenjin felt really distressed.
For the first time, she felt sorry for a man.
Having lived in the Chen family since childhood, she has never experienced the pain of hunger.
Although she had seen many refugees and many people who died of hunger, she only felt pity and sympathy, and had never felt their own pain or such distress.
But at this moment, it seemed as if she had seen and even felt the pain of hunger and long-term hunger.
It’s really too difficult!
This young man in front of me has endured for three years...
No wonder he is so talented and good at archery, yet he is always so cautious and careful in what he says and does.
"When you go back, you can come to Tianshu Hall to get 20 kilograms of meat every day! Here, beside me, you can eat as much as you want, all the time, and I'll have the kitchen supply you with everything!"
"what?"
Wang Yuan was stunned.
Then he felt a little touched. First it was Guo Xin, and now it was Chen Wenjin. Xie Miao couldn’t just express his feelings, right?
30+20+30?20?
So much meat!
But now he really can't eat anymore! [crying]
"Thank you, Master Chen. You don't have to bother the kitchen recently. I've eaten too much these past two days and I feel sick. What I want most is radish and tofu."
"Okay, I'll ask the kitchen to make it for you."
Chen Wenjin nodded.
"By the way, don't call me Master Chen in private from now on. Just call me by my name."
"Wenjin?"
Wang Yuan tried it out.
"~~Yeah."
Chen Wenjin nodded slightly, then left quickly.
"~~~"
Wang Yuan shook his head secretly.
Having good looks is an advantage and everyone loves you.
Of course, genius + strength + good looks are invincible!
After staying in Xufeng City for another day, Wang Yuan, Sun Wei, Chen Wenjin and nine others returned to Suzhou on a spirit boat.
——Those cattle and sheep will be sent back by Chen’s large transport spacecraft, and it can be done in one go, with an average of about one trip per month.
If they stay a few more days, perhaps they can wait.
It still took two days for the spirit boat to reach the river beach outside Yuanwu City.
All in all, this business trip lasted exactly ten days.
As soon as they arrived at the riverbank, everyone felt something different.
So different!
It was only evening and the sun had not yet completely set, but a strange black fog began to float above the river beach, and it became thicker as it went north.
In addition, all the refugees on the riverbank were concentrated in the southwest corner, between Linyu Yuluo and the river.
Although it was crowded, no one complained and it was completely silent.
The wooden house area was already brightly lit with fire.
And there are several long and thick earth walls on the north side.
Behind them stood warriors holding swords and soldiers wearing armor and holding spears.
They were tense and solemn, with their backs straight, and there were over a thousand people.
"Shh-"
Chen Wenjin controlled the spirit boat to turn and landed on the north bank of the Jinta River, in front of the Qingyao Hall.
"What happened?"
After jumping off the spirit boat, Xie Miao asked the Qingyao Hall disciple standing at the door.
"It's a mass grave. The ghost gate opens at night, spewing out a lot of ghost energy and evil spirits, and urging the corpse puppets and skeletons in the mass grave to attack the river beach..."
The Qingyao Hall disciple hurriedly explained the situation quickly and simply.
"!!!"
Chen Wenjin's face changed slightly:
"The mass grave is a den of ghosts! Didn't the ancestors in Yuanwu City find a way to deal with it? Use magic treasures to seal it?"
"Replying to the Third Miss, City Lord Tuoba, General Yuchi, and the ancestors have all come to check and tried, but the seal of the spiritual treasure will soon be eroded by the ghost energy, damaging the magic array and the essence of the spiritual material inside. Unless it is a divine weapon, or a special spiritual treasure that is specially designed to seal ghost energy..."
The disciple answered, his voice trembling with fear. "But not yet."
"!!!"
Chen Wenjin, Sun Wei, Wang Yuan and others were all numb and shocked.
A fifth-grade master of supernatural powers and a magical treasure are not enough, so...
Is this river beach going to become a dangerous place?
What a disaster!
The severe drought has not yet passed, and the underworld demons have invaded again.
Of course, the invasion of the underworld and the ghosts are closely related to this drought.
Too many people died in the drought, and so many corpses piled up together produced a large amount of negative energy over time. Only then could the underworld take the opportunity to open the gate between the Yin and Yang worlds.
This is a chain reaction, not without cause.
And it will only get worse.
"How strong is the ghost?"
Chen Wenjin asked again.
"The evil ghosts are very powerful. Gang Leader Song and Vice Chairman Guo are no match for them. Only Sect Leader Zheng can repel them. The other ghosts and skeletons are average in strength...
Oh, there is a corpse dog king, it is very scary, Vice President Guo can only barely tie, but..."
The disciple couldn't continue.
Because ghosts contain ghost energy, they are very scary. After Vice President Guo fought with the Corpse Dog King, he was infected by the ghost energy and was severely damaged after the ghost energy was removed.
"Corpse Dog King!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Yuan couldn't help but think of the dog king he had seen.
That should be correct.
But he was only at the middle level of the eighth rank a dozen days ago, but now he can threaten the seventh rank master Guo Shan?
Is ghost energy so powerful and scary?
"Let's go back to Bingziyuan first."
Wang Yuandao.
"Go."
Chen Wenjin waved her hand.
Their strength cannot affect the overall situation.
Moreover, it is reasonable to go back to Bingziyuan first after returning from a business trip.
So Wang Yuan and Sun Wei walked back to Bingziyuan together.
"David! Dayuan! You are finally back!"
Dajiang was standing in the yard with a depressed look on his face. When he saw Wang Yuan and Sun Wei, his face immediately lit up with joy and he was extremely surprised.
Oh, Heaven and Earth, they are finally back!
He didn't dare to sleep alone these days...
"You miss us so much? That's rare. Do you want to get beaten?"
Sun Wei stepped forward with a smile.
"hit me?"
Dajiang's face changed and he curled his lips.
"Get lost! If you have the guts, go beat up those zombies and skeleton soldiers. It would be best if you kill that zombie dog king. I'll consider you as awesome as you are!
By the way, you just came back and don’t know what happened, right? Let me tell you…”
"we know."
Sun Wei waved and walked into the yard.
"..."
DJI was stunned.
"Brother Jiang, please make way."
Wang Yuan pushed Dajiang aside and went into the yard to pay his respects to Old Man Cao.
Respecting teachers is human nature!
Although Old Man Cao did not accept him as his disciple, it was actually almost the same.
What's more, he is a powerful person that the system cannot display now. It is safe to stay by his side and there is no need to be afraid of any ghosts.
Although this place is closer to the northern battlefield...
"Mr. Cao."
"Ah."
Old man Cao nodded slightly, looked up at Wang Yuan and was suddenly stunned, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
"You...didn't forget to make the medicine?"
"I prepared two prescriptions for poison in Qingzhou and gained something."
Wang Yuan touched the back of his head and answered with a silly smile.
"Ah."
Old Man Cao nodded and closed his eyes again.
He was considering leaving.
The situation here is very tense, with many top forces taking action. It is becoming increasingly unsafe.
Alas, it is difficult!
