This water-gathering bead can gather water spiritual energy better than he imagined. If he practices in a place with abundant spiritual energy, the water-gathering bead can speed up his practice by about one-fifth.
In order to exchange for the water-gathering beads, he exchanged all the life-saving talismans and flying talismans given by his mother. He was still a little reluctant to part with them at first, but now it seems that this transaction was the right one.
"Jiji!"
Several strange screams rang out, and the double-eyed rat emerged from Wang Changsheng's arms.
Wang Changsheng stretched out his right palm, and the double-eyed rat crawled along his arm and into his palm.
The double-eyed rat made a "chichi" sound from its mouth to convey the message to Wang Changsheng that it was hungry.
"You little guy, the blue moon spiritual rice is not enough for me to eat. How can I feed you so much spiritual rice? You can just eat some ordinary ginseng." Wang Changsheng took out a piece of blood-red ginseng and put it on the ground.
Red blood ginseng, a common herbal medicine, has the effect of resolving congestion and replenishing qi and blood. People who practice martial arts inevitably have bumps and bruises, and they often take red blood ginseng to heal their injuries.
Wang Changsheng was short of money and could not feed the double-eyed rat with spiritual grain every day, so he could only feed it with some medicinal materials.
Wang Qiusheng's family is in the herbal medicine business, and there are plenty of herbal medicines in the warehouse.
Knowing that Wang Changsheng wanted medicinal herbs, Wang Qiusheng immediately sent a message via pigeon and asked the housekeeper to send a cart of medicinal herbs.
The double-eyed rat didn't mind, jumped off Wang Changsheng's hand, and ate the red blood ginseng in two or two strokes.
Wang Changsheng smiled slightly and was about to play with the two-eyed rat when Wang Qiusheng's voice suddenly sounded: "Nine uncles, no good, something big has happened. Zombies have appeared in Qingshi Town, and many tribesmen have been bitten to death by zombies."
When Wang Changsheng heard this, the smile on his face froze, and with a thought in his mind, his eyes darted back to his arms.
When he opened the door of Qinglian Pavilion, he saw Wang Qiusheng standing at the door with a look of panic on his face and two pieces of letter paper in his hand.
"Uncle Ninth, this is a letter sent by Fei Ge, the elder of the clan in Qingshi Town."
Wang Changsheng took the two letters, glanced at them, and frowned.
There were some Wang family members living in Qingshi Town, not a particularly large number, but there were zombies there, so he definitely had to make a trip.
It stands to reason that zombies would not appear under normal circumstances unless they were artificially raised. However, the letter was vague. He had to rush to Qingshi Town to investigate before he could draw a conclusion.
If some evil cultivators were causing trouble and using mortals to breed zombies, he would immediately report it to the family and leave it to the family to deal with it.
"Go and get the carrier pigeon that communicates with the family." Wang Changsheng thought carefully and ordered Wang Qiusheng.
To be cautious, it would be better to inform the family. If there is really an evil cultivator and he goes alone, he will say that a sheep is in a tiger's mouth. After all, he has no experience in fighting. To kill Xiaofeng, Xiaofeng has no offensive means.
If there is no evil cultivator causing trouble, the family will not blame him. After all, no one can guarantee that this matter is not caused by evil cultivator. It is better to be cautious.
Zombies are different from ghosts. Under normal circumstances, after death, the body will slowly decay, and it is difficult for a zombie to appear. But ghosts are different. If there is resentment before death, the soul has been gathering for a long time, and it is affected by Yin Qi Nourished, it can easily turn into a ghost.
Ping'an County is relatively far from Qinglian Mountain, and he does not have a summons seal on him. It is too expensive. A summons charm costs hundreds of spiritual stones at least, and it is a disposable item. It can only be used by clan members who go out to transport goods or inquire for information. You can only have a communication talisman in your hand.
Soon, Wang Qiusheng fetched the carrier pigeon. Wang Changsheng rolled up the written letter into a ball, tied it to the carrier pigeon's leg, and released the carrier pigeon.
The letter is written in code. Only a few people in the Wang family can understand the code. Even if someone intercepts the carrier pigeon, they will not know what the content of the letter is.
"Qiu Sheng, come with me and leave now."
After Wang Changsheng finished speaking, his lips moved slightly, and a white cloud appeared out of thin air under his feet.
Seeing this, Wang Qiusheng hurriedly walked up.
The white clouds slowly lifted the two of them into the sky and flew towards the distance.
Qingshi Town, Wang Family Ancestral Hall.
A dozen clan elders were sitting on chairs, their faces full of sadness.
Although Wang Tiande was a county captain, everyone else present was senior to him. He stood aside honestly, with a thoughtful look on his face, as if he was thinking about something.
There are several straw mats placed on the ground, and each straw mat is covered with a white cloth.
Not long after, Wang Qingshan arrived belatedly. As soon as he appeared, more than a dozen clan elders immediately surrounded him.
"Uncle Eighth, how are you? Have you contacted our Heavenly Master?"
"Bago, has my Heavenly Master come here?"
"Uncle Eighth, when will our Heavenly Master come over? Can he subdue the zombies?"
…
The clan elders kept asking questions, all wanting to know the news about their Celestial Master from Wang Qingshan.
Wang Qingshan waved his hand and commanded in a deep voice: "Be patient, I have already sent a message to my Celestial Master Fei Ge. I believe that my Celestial Master will come over as soon as possible after receiving the letter. What we have to do is to restrain ourselves." My clansmen, please wait patiently for the arrival of our heavenly master, no more clan members will be killed."
He seemed to have remembered something, looked at Wang Tiande in the corner, and said kindly: "Tiande, there have never been zombies in Qingshi Town, and a zombie suddenly appeared. What do you think? To be honest, we are all our own people. , no need to tuck it away."
Wang Tiande hesitated for a moment and said, "Eighth Uncle, let me tell you this. According to my grandson's analysis, the zombie that killed the tribe should be the Seventh Uncle."
One stone stirred up a thousand waves. As soon as Wang Tiande finished speaking, he was immediately refuted by other clan elders.
"Tiande, what are you talking about? How could Brother Qi turn into a zombie? Don't talk nonsense about this kind of thing."
"That's right, Uncle Qi's body was taken away by a dog, how could he turn into a zombie?"
"Uncle Qi never did anything untoward during his lifetime. This bowl of dirty water cannot be blamed on Uncle Qi. You slandered our elders. This is disrespectful to our elders."
Wang Qingshan frowned and yelled loudly: "Okay, everyone, shut up. I asked Tiande to say it. If you didn't ask me to say it, you all should shut up. Tiande, please continue talking."
Wang Tiande nodded, pondered for a moment, and said: "My guess is well-founded. First, zombies have never appeared in Qingshi Town. Why did the seventh uncle's body disappear with its front legs, and zombies appeared not long after? There is no such coincidence in the world, right? ! Secondly, three of the five dead tribesmen are the eldest son and grandson of Qi Bogong. As far as I know, after the dead bodies become zombies, they will harm their close relatives; thirdly, there are so many families in the town. , why don’t zombies bite other people? But they picked the eldest son and grandson of Qi Uncle? It’s really weird. Based on the above three points, I guess the zombie is Qi Uncle. As for why Qi Uncle turned into a zombie, then I don’t know. I understand, I think it will become clear when our heavenly master comes."
Wang Qingshan nodded, Wang Tiande's analysis was reasonable, but the truth of the matter would not be known until the heavenly master of the family came.
Less than half an hour later, Wang Changsheng and Wang Qiusheng slowly landed at the Wang Family Ancestral Hall.
Wang Qingshan was stunned for a moment, then quickly realized what he was doing, and hurriedly stood up to greet him: "Old Wang Qingshan, I have seen the Celestial Master."
Others also reacted and said in unison: "I have seen the Celestial Master."
"Senior Qing! According to your seniority, you can just call me Uncle Jiu. There is no need to be so outspoken. I heard that zombies appeared here. Tell me what happened. Don't miss a word." At this point. , Wang Changsheng’s expression became extremely solemn.
