"Of course, in addition to destroying these things, we also need to check for signs of ghosts along the way. If we see people in danger, we need to help them." He Wenzheng added.
"If it's just this kind of thing, there's no need to send so many people. It's enough to have me, a disciple of Mount Wu Fist Sect. "Zhou Meng frowned and said in a rough voice.
"The strength of the immortals of Mount Wu Fist Sect can't be underestimated. However, all the tasks are like this. We need to work together to ensure that nothing goes wrong." He Wenzheng said.
"The higher-ups must have their own considerations for this arrangement. Moreover, the appearance of ghosts in Chang 'an this time is related to the conspiracy of the Body-Refining Altar. So there are many unknown risks. It's safer for us to act together." Shen Luo thought and said.
"Senior Shen is right." Zhao Tingsheng agreed.
Hearing this, Zhou Meng didn't say anything more. They left the Weapon Storage Palace and went to Dunyi Lane.
After leaving the government office of Tang, they first headed west and arrived at Huaiyuan Square. Then, they began to head south. On the way, they saw Tang's armored soldiers patrolling everywhere. Seeing that they had official badges on them, they would salute them from afar.
The situation in Huaiyuan Lane and Yongshou Lane was good all the way to Jiahe Lane. Although they saw many tents set up by refugees in the south of the city, most of them were in order and settled down properly.
Once they passed the southern border of Jiahe Lane, they saw smoke rising from many places. Obviously, the chaos had not stopped.
Further away in the sky, the thick layer of lead clouds was like an iron plate, pressing down on everyone's heads and also on everyone's hearts, making them feel as if their chests were suffocating, and they would not feel good if they did not release it.
After passing Jiahe Lane and entering Yong Ping Lane, there was no trace of anyone. Collapsed houses and corpses of people and animals could be seen everywhere. Some of them were covered by the collapsed roof tiles, while others were directly exposed to the side of the road.
Every time they saw these, Zhao Tingsheng would ask his disciples to take out some yellow powder and sprinkle it on these corpses. If they came across a well on the road, they would also sprinkle some.
Seeing that Shen Luo and the others were puzzled, he explained, "That's right.
"No one has collected the corpses of these people for now, so they can only be exposed to the outside world. As time goes on, I'm afraid that an epidemic will spread. Do what you can to protect them, so that you won't have to worry about it in the future."
Upon hearing his words, Shen Luo's heart skipped a beat, and he felt even more puzzled. How can such a Kurong Sect be considered both good and evil?
"Senior Shen, don't just listen to him. The powder they scattered is called Corpse Gathering Powder. It's used to refine corpse poison and Corpse Dissolving Pills. We'll collect it on the way back." Zhou Meng hit the nail on the head.
Hearing this, Shen Luo was slightly stunned. He immediately smiled and said, "Everything has its pros and cons. If we can avoid the epidemic, it's a good idea to restrain the corpse aura. It's not a big deal."
When Zhao Tingsheng heard this, he was slightly surprised. It had been a long time since someone was willing to speculate about the words and deeds of the Death Glory Sect's disciples.
After Shen Luo finished speaking, everyone stopped talking and began to move forward in silence.
However, the further south they went, the more tragic the road became. As a result, the Death Glory Sect's disciples did not have enough Corpse Gathering Powder.
"We're almost at Dunyi Lane. This place has been occupied by ghosts. Everyone, be careful and try not to collide with them. Let's complete the mission first." Shen Luo reminded them.
"Yes." Everyone responded.
As almost half of the buildings in Dunyi Lane were destroyed, the original road in the lane could no longer be found. Everyone could only rely on the map given by He Wenzheng and began to search among the ruins.
Although it was daytime and it was close to noon, the area was covered by dark clouds. From time to time, ghosts could be seen wandering in the streets.
However, through Shen Luo's observation, he discovered that the movements of these ghosts were very interesting. Most of them only wandered back and forth within a radius of a hundred feet. Each and every one of them was like a wandering ghost. Compared to their ferocious appearance that night, they were much more peaceful.
Shen Luo and the others carefully avoided them all the way. Finally, they found the firecracker factory near the northwest corner of Dunyi Lane.
However, to their surprise, almost all the buildings in the area had been destroyed. Only the small courtyard of the firecracker factory in the middle was intact. There were more than a hundred ghosts gathered around it.
"There are actually so many ghosts guarding this place. It seems that the government's worries are not unfounded. The Body Refining Altar and those fellows really want to use this place." Shen Luo brought everyone to hide behind a ruined wall a hundred feet away and said in a low voice.
"There are only a hundred ghosts. There is nothing to be afraid of. Leave it to us." Zhou Meng patted his chest and said.
"These hundred ghosts are just the external appearance. What's the situation in the courtyard? Can you tell us clearly?" Zhao Tingsheng asked.
"It's so far away. My Divine Sense can't reach it for the time being. I can't explore the situation inside. We can't attack rashly." Shen Luo also said.
Hearing this, Zhou Meng smiled and said, "That's not difficult.
"What's so difficult about that? Just ask Lu Chen to bring Senior over and investigate the area."
As soon as he finished speaking, a short, dark-skinned young man from the Mountain Fist Sect stood up.
"Senior Shen, I know some digging methods. I can take you through the ground. I just don't know how close we have to go." The man cupped his hands and said to Shen Luo.
"You have to be within a hundred feet to explore." Shen Luo said in a low voice.
"No problem." Lu Chen rubbed his fists and was eager to try.
After saying that, he took out a yellow paper talisman from his arms and patted it on Shen Luo's back with two fingers. Then, he made a gesture with one hand and whispered a few words. A yellow light lit up on his body.
Then, he raised his hand and pressed on Shen Luo's shoulder. The light on his body shrouded Shen Luo's body.
"Let's go."
With a low shout, a three-foot-long crack appeared in the ground at the corner of the wall. The yellow light poured into the crack, and the two figures disappeared without a trace.
Shen Luo only felt that his body was covered by a layer of soft light. The hard rock outside his body seemed to have melted and became as soft as water, flowing quickly outside his body.
This feeling was the same as when the Soul Hooking Horse Face took him underground.
After a dozen breaths of time, the two of them stopped.
"Senior Shen, the location of the firecracker factory is about a hundred feet above us. You can try to explore it." Lu Chen said.
Shen Luo nodded and began to close his eyes and carefully control his Divine Sense to explore upwards.
After a while, he opened his eyes again and said to Lu Chen, "Okay, let's go back."
