Chapter 707: Raid on Medicine Fairy Club
Zhang Zhiwei used his power to roll up a black cloud, and carried everyone to Zengjia Town.
Above the black cloud, Lu Ci, Lu Jin and others felt the light dim, and then their vision turned, their eyes were full of thick black Qi balls, the cold wind was blowing around them, and their bodies were flying rapidly.
After adapting for a while, they gathered Qi in their eyes and looked around, only to find that they had reached a height of more than a thousand meters.
Changjun City was right under their feet, and they could see the whole picture at a glance. The people coming and going below became as small as a group of ants.
"Is this flying in the clouds? Senior brother actually has this legendary method?" Tian Jinzhong said in surprise.
Zhang Huaiyi was also shocked. In various mythological stories, there are many scenes of gods flying in the clouds, monsters raising a black demon wind and abducting people.
But in reality, there are very few people who can do it. I didn't expect that my senior brother could do it quietly, but...
He carefully looked at the rolling black Qi that lifted him up. How could this be so similar to the means of the monsters in mythology to blow the evil wind?
Lu Jin and Lu Ci were also shocked, especially Lu Jin, who was the disciple of Zuo Menzhang. After Zuo Menzhang reached the third level of Nisheng, he could transform his whole body into Qi and control the white Qi to fly in the clouds.
Senior Brother Zhang can also do this, but the current scene is obviously not done by Nisheng. He wanted to ask, but there were fierce winds all around, and the rumbling explosions exploded in his ears. He couldn't hear what he said.
Zhang Zhiwei ignored his friends' doubts. This is actually the means of Tiantong Qimen.
After opening the Qimen Bureau, it is to use one's own Qi to pry, use, and command the natural forces of heaven and earth, just like the principle of lever, four ounces to move a thousand pounds.
During this process, the consumption of his own Qi is not that great, so he can carry so many people for long-distance flight.
But if he uses the Qi transformation ability of the third level of reverse birth to carry people to fly, all the Qi used is his own Qi.
Although he can use the Saint Thief to restore himself, the energy contained in the air is not high. If it is a long-distance flight, it will be a big burden. Compared with flying with Tiantong Qimen, the cost performance is much worse.
Zhang Zhiwei rushed nearly 50 kilometers in one breath and came to Zengjia Town.
When he told Zhang Dafoye that the Medicine Fairy would be in Zengjia Town, Zhang Dafoye was still surprised, because this was the place where Zeng the Barber trained his troops.
During the Hongyang Rebellion, "Zeng the Barber" established a local militia called Xiangyong. Later, as his power grew, there were more and more such places, and Zengjia Town was one of them.
These Hunan warriors, later known as the Hunan Army, were appointed when the army was defeated and ordered to fight in times of crisis. They defeated the Taiping Army and put down the Hongyang Rebellion. It can be said that they were the greatest contributors in the late period of the previous dynasty.
But the cunning rabbit died and the running dog was cooked. How could the previous dynasty tolerate an army formed by a group of Han people?
So after the Hongyang Rebellion ended, the Hunan Army was quickly disbanded, leaving only more than 20,000 people, and the rest all returned to the fields.
These soldiers who had fought, seen blood, and massacred cities, how many were willing to resume farm work and be law-abiding farmers after being unfairly dismissed and sent home?
In addition, it happened to be a time of changes in the world, the fall of the previous dynasty, warlord separatism, and various exorbitant taxes that crushed people to death.
Therefore, these veterans who had once killed people everywhere, relying on the courage and banditry they had trained in the war, scattered in the mountains and fields and became bandits and horse thieves.
Zengjia Town is such a bandit village.
Because they are all veterans of hundreds of battles, their combat effectiveness is often much stronger than that of ordinary soldiers. The warlords bully the weak and fear the strong, and do not want to lose their troops on them, so they don't care about them.
"A chaotic place where bandits gather and warlords don't care, no wonder the Medicine Fairy Club chose to base there!" Zhang Zhiwei thought.
In the clouds and mist, Zengjia Town is already in sight.
"This is the territory of the Medicine Fairy Club. The Medicine Fairy Club is good at using Gu. Everything around may be their eyes and ears. Let's go in and investigate the situation first."
After saying that, Zhang Zhiwei flew towards Zengjia Town.
There is a road at the entrance of Zengjia Town. Perhaps because there are often cars and horses passing by, the road is quite flat.
Soon, he flew above Zengjia Town, looking down from the air, everything in the town is in sight.
The layout of the whole town looks quite neat, with high walls on the outside, tiled houses lined up inside, and the long street is a bit simple, but there are bustling people on the street.
The crowds were shoulder to shoulder, very lively, and you could see children playing and peddlers selling goods along the street, it looked very lively.
However, everyone soon discovered the weirdness in this lively scene.
Zhang Huaiyi said in a deep voice: "It's almost evening now, this kind of lively market-like scene should not appear at this time, it's a bit strange!"
"I also think it's a bit strange, but I can't tell where it's strange." Lu Jin frowned and said.
"If you don't know, you can keep silent, instead of saying some meaningless nonsense!" Lu Ci said unhappily.
Lu Jin took a deep breath, calmed himself, and said: "At this juncture, I don't want to quarrel with you, I'm just saying my feelings, I do feel very strange."
Lü Ci stopped laughing at Lu Jin and said in a deep voice: "They are indeed not normal. Although they look lively, this is from the overall perspective. If you look at each individual, you will find that their behavior is very rigid and dull, without... without the spiritual energy of living people!"
Zhang Zhiwei did not express his opinion. A golden ripple flashed in his eyes, and then he found that the Qi on these people's bodies was very mottled, as if covered with mold spots.
If you focus your eyes and look at the heads of these people, you can find a group of insect-shaped black Qi surging inside, which is a sign that the Gu worm has entered the brain.
Zhang Zhiwei's heart sank and said: "You are all right. The people in this town are indeed very strange, because they are all Gu people whose brains have been eaten by insects."
"Although they look normal now, they are actually zombies. As long as there are living people approaching here, they will rush up like a flood and tear them apart."
Hearing this, several people were suddenly startled and looked down with incredible expressions on their faces.
"All the people below...are they Gu people whose brains have been eaten by Gu worms?"
The madness of the Medicine Fairy Association made them a little unbelievable.
You know, in this year, the population of a town is often more than a thousand.
A big town like Zengjia Town, which is half bandit and half farmer, has a total population of several thousand.
"Is the Medicine Fairy Association crazy? This is a big town, why do they turn all the townspeople into Gu people?" Lu Jin said with a puzzled look on his face.
Zhang Zhiwei said: "Judging from the Qi that is covered with mold spots on their bodies, they should not have been turned into Gu people for a long time, because after a long time, the Qi on their bodies will disperse, leaving only the black Qi on the Gu worms."
"As for why they did this..." Zhang Zhiwei paused and said: "Perhaps it was because I killed the Gu worms in the bodies of Jiangxi Governor and Zuo Qian, which alerted the enemy, so the great Gu Master of the Medicine Fairy Association turned all the people in this town into Gu people for defense."
Lu Jin frowned and said: "Just a little suspicion, the great Gu Master of the Medicine Fairy Association turned them all into Gu people. This behavior is really damnable. Quan Xing is nothing compared to them."
Zhang Huaiyi said: "But it must be said that the actions of the Medicine Fairy Association are very decisive and effective. If If the people coming this time are not my senior brother, but other ordinary aliens, or warlords, they may encounter big troubles, or even be wiped out. "
Zhang Huaiyi continued: "Think about it, if we don't participate, Zhang Dafoye brings a large number of people to this town to follow the clues, and what greets them is not the bandits in Zengjia Town, nor the aliens of the Medicine Fairy Association, but thousands of fearless, crazy, and powerful zombies, what will happen? "
Zhang Zhiwei said: "If it is the warlords, without the firepower support of heavy weapons, it is impossible to stop these Gu people with rifles alone! "
Everyone thought about that scene. Thousands of zombie-like Gu people rushed up, and ordinary troops would probably throw away their guns and turn around and run away.
Even if it is the alien forces, there are not many who can stop these thousands of Gu people in the entire alien world. Even if they can really stop them, it will be an extremely difficult thing.
And during this period, the Medicine Fairy Association will have enough time to evacuate.
Looking at the bustling crowd below, Lu Jin sighed. Even though he already knew the result, he couldn't help but ask: "Brother Zhang, do you think there is still a chance to rescue these people?"
"Their brains have been eaten out, there is no chance." Zhang Zhiwei said lightly.
Lu Jin stopped talking.
"Brother Zhang, how should we deal with these Gu people?" Lu Ci said, "Let's go down and kill them?"
Zhang Zhiwei looked at him speechlessly, worthy of being one of the two reckless men.
"If we go down to deal with these Gu people, wouldn't it be a trick of the Medicine Fairy Association? To catch a thief, we must first catch the leader, and we must first kill the people of the Medicine Fairy Association." Zhang Huaiyi said.
"That's true!" Zhang Zhiwei nodded and said: "Just because of some suspicion, the other party can come up with so many Gu people, which shows how low their bottom line is. If we kill them directly at the door now, they may do something."
"Brother, what are you going to do?" Tian Jinzhong asked.
"Didn't Huaiyi say before? To catch a thief, you must first catch the leader. To prevent them from doing something irreparable, we have to kill them all first." Zhang Zhiwei said.
"How to kill? Do you know where the people from the Medicine Fairy Society are?" Zhang Huaiyi asked.
"Look forward!"
Zhang Zhiwei controlled the black cloud to fly forward for a distance and came to the back mountain of Zengjia Town.
There was a shroud of smoke and fog, and the green mountains were covered in the thick fog and there was a dead silence.
But the strange thing was that although the fog there was thick and rolling, it never spread to Zengjia Town.
It seemed that there was an invisible thing separating them. The side close to Zengjia Town was clear and sunny, with no wind or fog, but the side close to the back mountain was filled with thick fog.
"There seems to be something wrong with this mist." Zhang Huaiyi said, "But I'm too far away to tell what the problem is."
"You'll know soon!" Zhang Zhiwei stood in the clouds, stretched out his hand, and the true Qi in his palm was inhaled and exhaled, and he captured a small group of mist from a hundred meters away.
Zhang Huaiyi stretched out his hand to touch the mist, and he felt it was real.
After thinking for a while, he snapped his fingers, and a ball of sparks came out of his fingertips. The moment the sparks touched the mist, the mist was directly ignited. A slight burning sound was heard in the air, and finally it turned into a ball of ash and fell down.
Zhang Huaiyi caught the ball of black ash and twisted it with his fingers. He felt that it was extremely light and thin, as if it was nothing. He thought carefully.
"Can this mist ignite?" Lu Jin and Lu Ci were both surprised, and then they had their own ideas.
Lu Jin's idea was: "Gas can also be ignited, this mist is probably poisonous."
Lu Ci's idea was: "This mist can ignite, we can use fire attack."
Tian Jinzhong felt that there was something strange about the mist, but he couldn't tell where the strangeness was.
Zhang Huaiyi found something strange: "That mist... is a bit like... extremely fine silk thread!"
Zhang Zhiwei smiled, waved his hand, and a strong wind blew out of thin air, blowing the mist rolling.
In an instant, it seemed as if a thin gauze was lifted, revealing the scene covered by the gauze.
It turned out that behind Zengjia Town was a huge valley with some strangely shaped buildings and people walking around from time to time.
Everyone suddenly widened their eyes: "Is this a trick, or is there a Qi Bureau here?"
"This is Gu magic!" Zhang Zhiwei pointed at the thick fog and said, "Look carefully, there are some small things floating in the fog, and there are many small things on the stone walls on both sides of the valley!"
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw some fast-moving small dots in the fog, but they were too small and covered by the thick fog, so they couldn't see clearly.
But on the mountain walls on both sides, because the thick fog was blown away a little by the strong wind raised by Zhang Zhiwei, they could see it clearly.
There were actually a large number of small spiders crawling on it, and the number was so large that it gave people goose bumps at a glance.
These spiders were spitting fog, and the thick fog covering the entire valley was actually spit out by them.
"Silk, that fog is actually spider silk!" Everyone reacted.
Zhang Huaiyi said: "If fog is the silk spit out by spiders, then the thick fog in front is the web woven by spiders. Generally speaking, spider webs have the ability to trap and warn. If we rush in, the people of the Medicine Fairy Association will definitely know in advance. I'm afraid we will fall into a trap."
"What do you mean by falling into a trap? With Senior Brother Zhang, what are we afraid of? Can't we just charge in directly?" Lu Ci said.
Zhang Huaiyi didn't want to waste time talking to the reckless man.
Zhang Zhiwei said: "We don't know if there is a secret escape route in the valley yet. It's too reckless to charge in directly."
"Moreover, once we rush in rashly, the Gu people in the town below will inevitably riot. This is a time bomb."
"If they rush into the valley, it's okay. If they spread around, it will be troublesome. There are some villages and towns near Zengjia Town that rely on paying protection fees to Zengjia Town. They may suffer some unexpected disasters."
"Moreover, no one can determine whether these Gu people have some other Gu poisons. If a plague is set off, it will be difficult to deal with."
After listening to what Zhang Zhiwei said, Zhang Huaiyi said: "What do you mean, senior brother?"
Zhang Zhiwei said: "You stay and take care of the Gu people in this town, and I will use my means to sneak into the valley and kill all the Gu masters."
