The dark figure lifted up the thick snow, slowly climbed out of the snow, and crawled forward. en8.

Yun Qing didn't even think about it, and a burst of broken light hit him.

Thousands of streams of light emerge from the fine jade stones, penetrating the dim black mist and dispelling the evil miasma around them.

Yun Qing finally saw the figure clearly. The reason why it was dark was because he was covered in filth. His complete appearance of clothes was no longer distinguishable. His hair was messy and stained with disgusting mucus. The figure lay on the ground and crawled towards Yun Qing in a very twisted posture.

At this time, the black fog barriers gathered again, and there was a tendency to encircle them, approaching Yun Qing and Amang little by little with the figure.

Yun Qing inexplicably felt that this figure was somewhat familiar. She used the broken light to splash the jade again. This time the jade formed a skeleton, and the refracted light tightly wrapped the skeleton. With the help of the weak light source, it was refracted countless times to form a dazzling jade shield.

Yun Qing ignored the black mist and walked straight forward under the cover of the jade shield. She sniffed the decay in the air, and her thoughts were like lightning.

This smell... wasn't it the same evil cultivator she encountered when she came out of the Thirteen Obstacles? Even the methods of preparing corpses are exactly the same. Maybe they came from the same sect

Yun Qing was convinced that the evil cultivator had died in her hands, and the walking corpse in front of her seemed to have something to do with him.

Amang tried to stand in front of her several times for fear that she would be injured, but Yun Qing stopped him.

"Ignore it, let's go." Yun Qing thought for a while and said to Amang.

It seems that the reason she met that evil cultivator before was not because she was unlucky, but because this walking corpse sect was wandering unscrupulously on the prairie right under the noses of the two holy places.

To feed on people in this way, not even sparing their corpses, defiling their bodies and devouring their souls, can be said to be a taboo in the monastic world. But this walking corpse sect appeared at the foot of the two holy places, and it has not been uprooted yet. This is unreasonable.

Based on this alone, Yun Qing could tell that this was definitely a pool of muddy water.

Armand bared his teeth and turned to leave.

At this moment, the sound of stepping on the snow came from the surrounding snow.

Yun Qing's mind was greatly affected by the evil miasma, and she couldn't see very far if she didn't use her heart. Only when she heard the sound did she realize that there was definitely more than one walking corpse around. 『Elegant*Wen*Words*Emotion*First*Posted』

"It's troublesome." Yun Qing frowned slightly and slammed his Zen staff on the ground.

Golden Buddha light spreads from the top of the Zen staff, clearing the surrounding miasma.

Before the gray-black mist gathered, Yun Qing rushed towards the place where there were relatively few walking corpses. She kicked off her feet and jumped up high. The Zen staff in her hand used the force of the fall to chop and lift, a crawling walking corpse. The corpse was thrown far away by her. Yun Qing just waved the stainless steel Zen staff that was almost as tall as her, picked up the flying corpses and rushed over.

This kind of injury is of course nothing to the walking zombies who are originally dead, but they are slow and slow to react. After being thrown out, it takes a long time to find the right direction and crawl back. When they crawled back, Aman threw them out again.

Just like that, Yun Qing opened the way, Amang cleared the way, and they broke out of the encirclement in a few seconds.

As soon as he broke out of the area enveloped by the evil miasma, Yun Qing immediately grabbed Amang and carried the Fang Cunzhan back to the jade house in an instant.

Just now, she had not dared to use Fang Cunzhan rashly because she was afraid that there was something wrong with the miasma. If she was attacked by a sneak attack while exercising, or her position was affected by the miasma, it would be difficult to handle.

After returning to the jade house, the first thing Yun Qing did was to dig through the snow, find some sand, and then sprinkle it on Amang and herself.

Amang was thrown into the dirt for no reason. He looked at Yun Qing cautiously for a long time, thinking that he had done something wrong.

Yun Qing lowered her head and fiddled with her rosary beads, chanting something in her mouth.

"When the body breaks down, life will end, and you will fall into the evil realms...those things are very dirty." After Yun Qing finished reciting, he felt that the evil thoughts originally attached to his body were dissipated, and the depressed feeling disappeared a lot.

The miasma appears to be formed from the painful curses in the hearts of countless people who have died in vain. The people who controlled the walking corpses probably put a lot of effort into this. After they rushed out, Yun Qing kept feeling that there was something following behind, which seemed to be related to the miasma.

So as soon as Yun Qing came back, he immediately recited the Great Light Mantra to dispel the evil thoughts attached to them. The Great Light Mantra is also a small method she has learned in the past two years. Although the source of this mantra is the vision of the Great Sun Tathagata, in fact the true meaning is far different. It cannot be used to suppress the soul, but it is quite convenient to destroy evil spirits.

I don’t know what kind of sect the Walking Dead Sect is and why this night attack was. If it really took root in this prairie, then why did Yu Tu go all the way to Thirteen Barriers to find the body of the young cultivator? Aren’t the mountains and plains of this snow-capped mountain full of practitioners? If it is not a sect on the prairie, then why are there a large number of zombies attacking her in the depths of the prairie tonight

The more Yun Qing thought about it, the more he felt that this matter was not simple, but after much deliberation, he still couldn't figure out the ins and outs. So this matter can only be left alone, just like Amang's matter. She modified the protective measures of the Jade House again, and placed restrictions inside and outside, as well as underground, just to prevent the Walking Dead Sect from sneak attacks.

Early in the morning of the next day, Yun Qing had just finished a great cycle of energy circulation, when a herdsman knelt down outside the door.

She said across the jade room: "Why are you here?"

"Holy monk, many cattle and sheep froze to death last night. Please ask the holy monk to save us. We won't be able to survive if we continue to die!" The herdsman sighed, with a worried look on his face.

Yun Qing sighed softly: "Take me to see it."

She walked out of the jade room, thinking that it would be more convenient to practice at Guiling Temple. The bells in the morning and the drums in the evening clear away the distracting thoughts in the mind. It is located on the mountainside and no one comes to disturb it. There is also the Luohan Hall where you can practice the Dharma and practice at any time.

People came here every now and then to beg for this or that. She had already made a promise before, so she had no choice but to help. These herders relied on their hearts and came to beg for trivial matters. She has never been able to figure out what the disciples of Guiling Temple have learned during the trial in the world of mortals. Judging from the current situation, there is nothing but trouble.

Seriously speaking, Yun Qing has been on the run since he could remember. Most of all his knowledge and common sense was not based on his own personal experience, but was obtained from heavenly books. There are many things in this world that you cannot understand if you have not experienced them personally.

She can tell whether a inheritance can aspire to the top, but she cannot tell a very simple right and wrong between good and evil. If Zheng Zhenzhen were to see this evil sect, the first thing she would think of is "inhumane and cannot be tolerated in the world." But if Yun Qing were to see this sect, the only thing she would think of would be "meager skills. It’s not enough to become a great road.”

She also needs more experience and needs to communicate with more monks to improve her understanding of the world, instead of always relying on the overly objective judgment of the Book of Heaven.

Yun Qing followed the herdsman to the edge of the sheepfold, walked around in a large circle, and finally established a large-scale thermal insulation ban. This is the first time Yun Qing has used the ban to do such a thing. When she feels cold, she usually doesn't think about how to raise the temperature, but how to make herself more cold-resistant. Obviously this method cannot be used on these poor sheep.

She was just thinking about how to cover this restriction together with the cattle pen with limited materials, when suddenly there was a strange fluctuation above the restriction.

Yun Qing sensed it carefully for a while, and a rotten smell came from the sheep pen. She had smelled this smell last night, wasn't it the stench of walking corpses

Her face darkened, and she suddenly turned over over the fence and jumped into the sheep pen. The skinny white and black sheep were pushed away by the invisible force on her body, and she rushed directly to the innermost part under the astonished eyes of the herdsmen.

There lay a lamb with a cold head.

"It's dead." Yun Qing said to the herdsmen who followed.

The herdsman almost cried: "Oh, this is the ninth one! Nine of them died last night alone!"

Yun Qing asked: "Did anyone come to this sheepfold last night?"

"Where are you talking? Didn't the people who went out to graze yesterday come here when they came back from their sheep?"

Yun Qing frowned. After she came back last night, she no longer sensed the aura of the Walking Dead Sect. In other words, the smell on the sheep carcass was either picked up by her when she went out, or... there was a zombie sect in the pasture.

Either way it's not a good thing.

"Be careful these days. Leave all the corpses of cattle, sheep, and people to me for salvation and then bury them."

The herdsmen nodded repeatedly and agreed hurriedly.

Yun Qing picked up the lamb's body with a Zen stick, and the herdsman suddenly shouted: "Oh, what a sin! Who ate it up!?"

Yun Qing ignored him, sprinkled a handful of fine sand on the sheep carcass, and then recited the Great Light Mantra as usual.

After she finished the ritual, the herdsman followed her out with the lamb body, sighing: "A wolf must have sneaked in. Master, you have to help us. If you don't help us, we won't be able to survive." ah!"

Yun Qing's face softened and he said slowly: "Nature will get rid of these scourges for you."

The sentence she heard most these days was "If you don't help us, holy monk, we will be dead!".

The human race does not necessarily have to rely on others to survive. Yun Qing glanced to the south. Even she could smell the blood in Jiu Ming City. The humans there are enemies of demons and ghosts, and in the worst circumstances, they can use human lives to fill a line of defense.

The courage and strength of that Grand Master Dajing were extraordinary. Whether it was leaving the northwest a hundred years ago in a state of stable development and establishing the capital in Mirror City, or moving the altar to Ci'an City half a year ago and using millions of living beings as living sacrifices, these seemingly unreasonable measures have directly prompted humanity to Today's prosperity.

The people there practice Taoism, and magic techniques are prevalent and become a common practice. Everyone has the opportunity to seek the great way.

In the snow-capped mountains and grasslands in the northwest protected by Mienfenglang and Guiling Temple, the people here can only survive on the charity of the monks. Few of them have thought about becoming stronger themselves. Whether it is the immortal way or the Buddhist way here, it seems that they have not become stronger during the battle, but have become more blocked.
