By night, the gates of the fort were closed, and all the guards except those who needed to be on duty returned to the camp.
Wei Xiyin went to the southwest camp to find the Cheng brothers.
This time the gentlemen went out to transport food, taking away one hundred followers and one hundred tribesmen.
Uh...and Wei Lang.
It is said that Wei Li tricked him into giving him two eggs.
The child had been thinking about the red egg he received during the Chinese New Year. Wei Li gave him two red eggs and the child happily followed the man away.
Chang Ying also went with them.
This was the first time the clan members had traveled far away since the disaster, and that group of young men were the future continuation of the Wei family.
Wei Ji was a little worried, so he asked Chang Ying to go with him. After the young men were familiar with the route and the outside environment, he would let them act on their own.
Therefore, when Wei Xiyin needed someone, she remembered that Chang Ying was not there.
Cremation needs to be arranged as soon as possible.
After cleaning up Ling County, the bodies had to be destroyed uniformly. She thought, since everyone is superstitious, then use superstition to dispel superstition.
Hearing the girl's instructions, the Cheng brothers looked at each other, did not question the girl's decision, and quickly took the order to make the arrangements.
The next day, early in the morning.
People got up one after another, packed up and went to the public kitchen for meals.
Because they had to go out to work, the communal kitchen prepared steamed buns, wheat cakes, and other filling foods for breakfast. Mingjingtang had a rule that food could not be taken away. Since the communal kitchen was crowded, the people who arrived later didn't dare to compete for a seat, so they gathered in groups of three or four at the door to eat.
Several people squatted on the ground, eating bread and talking.
Someone suddenly asked, "How did you survive?"
The people squatting nearby looked sad when they heard this. "We are from Stone Village. Only four or five of us escaped at that time. If we hadn't met the girl in the mountains, I'm afraid none of us would have survived."
When passersby heard this, they nodded in agreement. The disaster came so suddenly that many people died in their village.
"If you ask me, how could such a serious plague break out when everything was fine? All the people and animals turned into monsters."
The young man who had been squatting in the corner suddenly moved closer to them and said to the person asking the question, "Hey, let me tell you something in secret. Don't tell anyone else. I heard rumors that this is a punishment from God."
"God is going to destroy the world."
Everyone's faces changed slightly, and when they heard the 'inside story', they all gathered around.
"Brother, please tell me what's going on. I'm just an ordinary tenant. I burn incense and worship Buddha on weekdays. I believe in Bodhisattvas and do good deeds. I have never done anything wrong."
The young man was shocked to see so many people surrounding him, and he stammered, "I didn't say anything, you guys pretended you didn't hear me." Then he stood up and prepared to leave.
When everyone saw the young man trying to leave, they immediately stopped him and said, "Why are you saying half of what you said? Don't worry, we will never tell anyone. Big brother, just help us solve the problem."
The young man was helpless and squatted back down. "Then I have to tell you, don't tell anyone."
Everyone nodded.
The young man was relieved, "Everyone knows Qiongqi, right?"
The villagers immediately replied, "Of course we know. It's the beast that spreads the plague."
As soon as the words fell, the man immediately reacted and turned pale with fear, "Could it be that Qiongqi is doing evil?!"
The people gathered here were in an uproar.
In the past, people lived in fear and hunger, so they had no time to think about the cause of disasters. Now, after hearing the young man mention it and talking about Qiongqi, everyone present suddenly understood and believed most of what he said.
"Legend has it that Qiongqi loves to eat people. When he does, he always starts from the head. He not only punishes the good and promotes the evil, but he even releases plagues to plague the people."
The young man showed an unfathomable expression, "Qiongqi took away the body to do evil, making it full of poison. Its head is intact and it can move freely. Not to mention us, even the ground on the ground will become poisonous if it touches us."
Everyone has a deep understanding of this and expressed their agreement.
The person squatting on the ground with him immediately asked, "Those monsters only truly die after their heads are shattered. Is this related to Qiongqi's love of eating heads?"
The young man paused, looked around, and saw that more and more people were gathering around him. He shook his head and said, "I dare not say that."
"Brother, why are you so afraid to tell us? Tell us what's going on."
"Yeah, go ahead and tell me."
Everyone's curiosity was piqued.
The young man could only sigh and say, "This is a punishment from heaven."
Some people panicked upon hearing this, "Then God should punish the wicked. We are all good citizens."
"right!"
"My father was an honest and upright man who never argued with anyone. How could he end up turning into a monster?"
The atmosphere around them suddenly became very sad.
Seeing that the atmosphere was set in place, the young man also had a sad face. "If you ask me, the most tragic thing is that those deceased people were implicated by Qiongqi and probably won't be able to reincarnate."
Unable to reincarnate!
Everyone suddenly raised their heads and stared at the young man. What did he mean?
"Qiongqi wants to destroy all living things in the world." The young man sighed heavily, "The only way is..."
Only what? Why did it stop again?
What's wrong with this young man? He always only speaks half of what he wants to say, and everyone is getting very anxious.
Can you finish it in one breath?
Xie Ruian had been watching from the doorway for a while, and seeing the perfect moment, he interrupted, "Only by purifying the evil spirit can one be reborn."
Everyone around was stunned, including some members of the Wei family, who had been listening for an unknown amount of time.
