Chapter 12: The situation is grim
Drive! Drive! Drive!
The horse's hooves stepped on the muddy country road, splashing strings of turbid yellow mud.
Wang Cheng sat behind his senior brother Li Wei, looking at the rice fields and plants that were pulling quickly on both sides, and felt that his butt was about to fall apart.
In his past and present life, he rode a horse for the first time and ran wildly for the first time.
Although it was only more than ten miles from Dasang Township to Xiaochen Village, this still did not affect his butt pain when he rode a horse for the first time.
It was not until the mountain village ahead appeared in sight and the horse slowed down that he felt slightly better.
"After Junior Brother Wang returned to the county town, he had to learn riding skills. We are a warrior, and we may not have to be proficient in swords, guns, swords and halberds, but this riding skills must be good, otherwise it will be very inconvenient to go out to walk in the world in the future!"
After getting off the horse, Li Wei saw Wang Cheng reaching out to rub his butt and grinning, and couldn't help but smile gently, shook his head and advised him.
Upon hearing this, Wang Cheng couldn't help but nodded fiercely and said, "Senior Brother Li said, "You must practice after you go back and you must practice riding skills."
Of course he understood the importance of riding. He had only traveled through this world for three months. He had been busy practicing martial arts and on duty on business trips, and had no time or opportunity to practice riding.
The two of them were talking here, but not far away, Captain Du had already dismounted and pointed at the mountain village more than a mile away, and reported the situation to the Captain Duan of the Demon Suppressing Division.
"Please look at Lord Duan, that's Xiaochen Village. This village is now surrounded by ghost mist and has become a ghost creature. There are countless ghosts hidden in it, and there are no evil ghosts hidden!"
Wang Cheng also looked at the Xiao Chen Village.
After he looked carefully for a while, he found some abnormal situations and couldn't help but shout: "Tao Du, do you see that the range covered by the ghost fog has become larger? I remember when we left yesterday, there were still several big mulberry trees in that direction!"
Hearing his words, Captain Du hurriedly looked in the direction of his finger.
Then he nodded with an ugly expression and whispered: "Yes, I can indeed see a few big mulberry trees in that direction yesterday."
The Demon Suppression Commander Duan heard their words, his eyes suddenly condensed.
Looking at Wei Bin, the Dahan surnamed Lu and other soldiers of the Demon Suppression Division, their expressions changed.
It seems that the expansion of the scope of the ghost village involves something extraordinary.
The atmosphere was a little heavy for a moment.
After a while of this, the captain suddenly waved his hand and said, "Okay, I already know the situation. You are waiting here for now. I will take people in and find out!"
After saying that, he suddenly reached out and took off a two-meter-long spear hanging on the side of the war horse, and turned the gun horizontally, taking the lead in sprinting towards the ghost village ahead.
Seeing this, Wei Bin and other soldiers of the Demon Suppressing Division also shouted and pulled out their battle swords, urging the horse to follow closely.
Soon, the eighteen cavalry of the Demon Suppressing Division disappeared into the gray-white mist.
"Master, do you think that those Captain Duan and others can really wipe out the ghosts in this ghost village?"
Wang Cheng walked to Li Tong, the master who was walking with him, and asked in a low voice.
"I don't know this, but the worst lieutenant of the Demon-Suppressing Division is an internal martial artist, and he has various magic talismans and evil-breaking magic weapons in his hands. Even if there are evil ghosts inside, he will definitely not be able to leave Captain Duan and the others in it!"
Li Tong shook his head slightly and expressed his opinion with a serious expression.
Wang Chengben wants to ask more other things.
But seeing Li Tong staring at the ghost village with a focused and solemn look.
He had already rushed to his throat, but he held it back.
Everything is too much, but now Li Tong is obviously thinking about the fact that he just entered. If he asked questions and distracted his attention, he would look no longer.
After all, Wang Cheng had worked in sales for a period of time in his previous life, so of course he understood this truth.
He looked at Captain Du and the three masters, Guo Biao and Chen Yuanlong, who were here with him, and all looked at the ghost village ahead like Li Tong.
This made him feel moved, and he understood that these people probably knew something that ordinary people didn't know, so they acted so solemnly.
He intuitively believed that this should be related to the expansion of the area of the ghost village he had previously mentioned.
"It seems that there are still many secrets in this world, and none of them are qualified to contact with ordinary people!"
Wang Cheng sighed in his heart, but his eyes were as bright as stars and moon, bright as bright.
For him, the more secrets there are in this world, the more interested he is in learning and uncovering them one by one.
When he was playing puzzle games in his previous life, he was able to get rid of his liver without sleeping for a day and a night.
Now he will only work harder.
After waiting for about two quarters of an hour, the mist lingering outside the ghost village ahead finally surged violently, and was torn apart by a spear with a flash of lightning.
A spear flashing with lightning!
Wang Cheng blinked, sure that he read it right.
There was indeed a flash of white light flashing on the head of the spear held by Captain Duan.
"Is this gun the evil-breaking magic weapon the master just mentioned?"
Wang Cheng remembered what Li Tong said before and felt enlightened.
After the owner of the spear, the Demon Suppressing Division, rushing out of the ghost village, more than a dozen Demon Suppressing Division soldiers rushed out one after another.
The swords in the hands of these demon-suppressing soldiers shine with silver-white light without exception.
Obviously, just like Captain Du killed ghosts last night, he added magic talismans to the sword to enhance the lethality of the sword against ghosts.
"Fifteen people! There are only fifteen people following behind Captain Duan!"
Li Wei, who was beside Wang Cheng, seemed to have discovered something incredible, and couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice.
And his words instantly pulled Wang Cheng's mind back from the magic talismans and magic tools.
All of them knew that there were 18 people coming to the Demon Suppression Division this time, including the Captain Duan.
But now only sixteen people rushed out of the ghost village!
"It seems that the danger of this ghost village is much greater than we expected!"
Li Tong stared at the demon-suppressing cavalry who was rushing out, and sighed in a heavy tone.
However, Captain Du was more eager to know the details than them. After all the demon-suppressing cavalry rushed out of the ghost village, they immediately came over to inquire about the information.
"Mr. Duan, what is the situation in the ghost village? Is there really a ghost level among them? "
The muscles on Master Duan's face trembled, and the scar on his left face suddenly came alive like an earthworm, looking extremely ferocious.
Anger surged in his eyes, then he took a deep breath, looked at Captain Du coldly and said, "You don't have to worry about this. The Demon Suppressing Department will be fully responsible for this case. You will go back immediately to send a message to the Dantu County Magistrate, asking him to publish a message tomorrow to list the village within 30 miles nearby as forbidden areas, and move all villagers to other places, and wait until the ghost village is completely wiped out before moving back!"
What!
Captain Du's face was shocked and was shocked by the words of Captain Duan.
The saying of moving away all the people in the villages within 30 miles sounds simple, but in fact, for a county like Dantu County, it should not be too difficult to operate and the losses should not be too great.
You should know that it is the spring plowing season. Once the people within 30 miles are moved away, it means that tens of thousands of acres of fertile land will be delayed in spring plowing and will be abandoned for a year.
This one alone is enough to allow the court to directly pick the county magistrate and put on the black veil.
Not to mention that the resettlement of the people who were moved away is also a big problem.
As soon as Captain Du thought of this, his scalp was numb and he had to bite the bullet and look at Captain Duan and said, "Mr. Duan, this...this matter is too important. Just relying on the words of the adults, it is difficult for Du to handle the affairs of the county master, and it is difficult for the county master to obey the adults' words!"
"I am just suggesting it. As for whether to follow my advice, it is your county magistrate's own business."
Captain Duan replied indifferently, then smiled coldly and said, "But don't blame Duan for not reminding you in advance. If you don't do what Duan said, it will lead to a large number of people dying under the ghosts, and even strengthen the power of the ghosts, causing the imperial court to consume more power to wipe out ghosts. You know who should be responsible for this responsibility!"
"you……"
Captain Du's face changed drastically, and his forehead was full of blue veins, and he was also very angry at Captain Duan's bare threat.
However, facing Captain Duan, who is far superior to his strength and official position, no matter how angry he is, he dare not really beat the other side in person.
