Chapter 410 Dead End, Fearful (8k)
Wen Yan was a little worried. At the beginning, there were only tens of thousands of dead souls. He thought that after the other party had taken revenge, there would be no problem in saving them. He was quite experienced in this regard.
To be honest, in terms of the number of dead souls saved, the number of dead souls he had saved might be more than most professional players have saved in their lifetime.
He didn't think much about it before, just thinking about doing business and charging with the dead souls. Now that he came to his senses and thought about it again, he was a little worried. There were millions of them. He might not be able to save them all by next year, and this was still under the premise of the cooperation of the dead souls.
With the pawn and the shopkeeper, the two behind-the-scenes culprits and the actual shopkeeper, finished together, Wen Yan could feel that his temporary crusader profession had begun to count down.
This is a non-fixed profession, which can be obtained by meeting the prerequisites.
The prerequisite is not something that needs to be achieved actively, but it will be automatically triggered when something similar happens in the future and reaches a certain line. Anyone and non-human may obtain it, and the objective difficulty of obtaining it is very low.
Wen Yan looked at these dead souls and knew that the blessing of data in this profession is not the most important thing. The profession itself is the most important.
Just like these dead souls, their power has actually been consumed a long time ago, and they should have dissipated.
But because they have the profession of the crusaders, not only did they not dissipate, but many of their previous weaknesses were greatly compensated. Before completing what they have to do, the profession will not dissipate. When they gather in such a large number, they will automatically trigger the undead special effect.
This ensures that their struggle may be unfavorable and difficult, but there is always a bottom line, ensuring that they will not enter a complete failure and no chance.
This is the most important point.
"That's enough." A conscious dead soul came to Wen Yan and comforted him.
The dead soul was full of yang energy, maintaining this strange state.
All the dead souls were in this state, which frightened many people. They couldn't understand why.
Even the people of Shenzhou didn't understand. The head of the headquarters knew that Wen Yan had Lieyang, but he didn't think that Wen Yan was strong enough to suddenly bless millions of dead souls with Yang.
Some conscious dead souls came over and sat around Wen Yan.
"It's enough. Don't worry about salvation. It doesn't matter if it dissipates."
"Yes, we don't know how to thank you. Don't worry about the next thing."
"Sacrifice doesn't matter. There may be some fish that slip through the net, but it doesn't matter."
"When the crusaders appear, the flames of struggle and resistance will never be extinguished. We have let it go."
"At least my children, if they encounter the same experience as me in the future, they will not be helpless and can only wait to die there."
"Yes, I fell into that big pit and couldn't move. My consciousness and reason were slowly disappearing. All I had was despair. We are all in the same despair."
One by one, the dead souls began to comfort Wen Yan, asking him not to embarrass himself so much.
They didn't want Wen Yan to continue what was not his responsibility. When Wen Yan was so tired that he leaned against the stone tablet and fell asleep in the wailing, these dead souls felt that it was enough and let Wen Yan rest.
The child who was pulled out of the pit at first by Wen Yan, whose body was full of holes and one arm was in the form of bones, walked forward blankly. He stretched out his arms, said nothing, and just gently hugged Wen Yan.
The little ghost stood aside, and the ghosts behind came up one by one, hugged Wen Yan one by one, and the braver female ghosts even hugged Wen Yan directly and kissed him on the face.
The atmosphere, which was originally a little sad, suddenly became joyful. The ghosts looked at Wen Yan, who was like a god of war before, and now looked awkward and uncomfortable, and couldn't help laughing.
Language is no longer an obstacle to communication. With one heart and one mind, all the ghosts, even those who have lost their self-consciousness, can feel what other ghosts can feel.
Wen Yan looked at these ghosts, felt their smiles, their thoughts, and didn't know what to say for a while.
As time passed, the flames and yang energy on the ghosts gradually dissipated.
The time was almost up, and Wen Yan still wanted to help them to transcend. The same dissipation, dissipation by being beaten, dissipation naturally, and dissipation by transcendence were all different.
Wen Yan took out a small lead box and opened it. Inside was a Qin Banliang covered with copper rust.
"I still want to try, is there any other possibility."
The gray cloth flew over slowly, and when it came, it did not forget to roll up its old friend, the old Tianshi's magic sword.
The gray cloth automatically picked up the things that Wen Yan could not take care of, and stuffed them into Wen Yan's bag, then rolled up the Chunjun mace and the magic sword and carried them on Wen Yan's back. It circled around by itself, from Wen Yan's back to his left arm.
Wen Yan fumbled for the Qin Banliang, took out the ever-bright lamp, rubbed his fingers, and lit the wick. He held the ever-bright lamp in his left hand and the Qin Banliang in his right hand.
When he came to a dirt road intersection not far away, he changed into the title of Natural Enemy of Gold, blessed Qin Banliang with a violent sun, and then gently bounced him out.
The copper-green coin rolled and fell on the ground at the crossroads. After the coin landed, it kept spinning. The power of countless dead souls here had not yet faded, and it began to stimulate the meaning attached to this Qin Banliang.
The strong affinity of Wen Yan's title made him omit many preconditions when using this kind of thing, and it was very easy to stimulate that meaning.
With the guidance of the ever-bright lamp, in an instant, the Qin Banliang rotated and emitted a faint light. Looking through the square hole in the middle of the coin and looking at the other side of the square hole, a new road had appeared.
This road became longer and wider, from nothing to something.
Gradually, an extra road appeared silently at the crossroads.
Wen Yan looked at this road, which seemed a little different. It was not the wide and flat cement road he was familiar with before, and there were curbs.
This road was just a dirt road, and it was still a little bumpy, as if it had not been shaken by a steamroller.
However, that kind of breath and feeling were indeed the way to the underworld.
Moreover, Wen Yan also vaguely felt something familiar. He thought about it, looked back at the dead souls, took a step forward, and stepped onto the dirt road.
Those dead souls did not hesitate at all, and followed Wen Yan into the underworld of this dirt road.
A large number of dead souls disappeared here, and the Qin Banliang left at the original place seemed to have exhausted all its power. The copper green on the surface disappeared and merged into the crossroads and disappeared.
A gust of wind blew over the original place, leaving nothing behind. When the black clouds that had not dispersed in the sky disappeared, the people who had been trying to use satellites to observe the situation here could not see anything.
Where the dead souls stayed, not even the bodies were left.
On the dirt road, Wen Yan looked at the dead souls around him.
As the temporary professional crusaders faded, their power also dissipated, and one by one they returned to the appearance of the most ordinary dead souls.
However, at this moment in the underworld, this is the most suitable place for all the dead souls, and they will not be forced to dissipate because of the complete exhaustion of their power.
After walking a short distance along the dirt road, the road disappeared.
There was a wilderness ahead, and it looked like there was nothing there, but Wen Yan heard the sound of water.
He was the first to step into the wilderness. When he looked back, the road was still there, and it had not disappeared. He could still see the dead souls.
This proved that stepping into this wilderness was not affected by the characteristics of the underworld.
He followed the sound of water and continued to move forward. Not far away, he saw a sea, a black sea.
Standing on the beach, looking into the distance, what you see is always darkness, with no end in sight.
But when Wen Yan closed his eyes and sensed carefully, the familiarity he could sense became clearer and clearer.
Wen Yan waved to the dead souls of Shenzhou.
"Here, you will not be forced to dissipate. I said I would save you, and I will definitely save you. I can take my time, as long as you don't rush. If one day doesn't work, then ten days, if ten days don't work, then a hundred days, it will always be done."
Saying goodbye to these dead souls, Wen Yan went directly into the black water in front.
The gray cloth was like a water snake, wriggling rapidly in the water, carrying Wen Yan forward rapidly.
In just a few minutes, he stepped onto the shore. After walking a few steps, he saw a dead end road suddenly appeared in front of him.
Familiar cement road, and curb.
Faintly, he could still see a green glow.
Wen Yan smiled, and he said that he would definitely not feel wrong.
The moment the dirt road he bought appeared, he felt that there was something very familiar in the depths.
When he stood on the black seashore, this feeling became even clearer, and he could even clearly sense the soul lamp of the underworld.
At that time, he guessed that it might not be very far away, and the place that might be connected to it was the main intersection, that is, the broken road extending from the main intersection.
And the seemingly endless and boundless black ocean was the same as the previous experience.
It can be called a river or a sea, because the width is not fixed for different people.
He just swam for a few minutes and swam over.
But for some ghosts, this sea is an endless sea that can never reach the other side.
Wen Yan stepped onto the dead-end road from the end of the dead-end road. Looking back, as expected, the back was boundless and nothing could be seen clearly.
But this time, when he walked forward along this dead-end road, he did not trigger the situation of getting lost last time when he walked to the crossroads.
When he came to the crossroads, the soul lamps on the side of the road emitted a pale green light, and the street lights installed by Wen Yan were still emitting warm lights, illuminating the road here.
There are always countless dead souls walking along the road on the road of the dead.
Just like before, all the dead souls, when passing by this road, will slow down slightly under the warm street lights, enjoying the colors that the road of the dead should not have, and the warm light that will not hurt them.
When Wen Yan appeared, the dead souls would automatically make way for Wen Yan to pass.
Wen Yan bowed his hands and thanked them.
He walked along the main intersection, walked back a road that he could walk back with his eyes closed, and walked out of the basement of Lao Zhao's house.
When we arrived at the living room on the first floor, we saw Lao Zhao and the five brothers gathered around the altar. On the altar stood a plate that was almost one meter wide and was filled with boiled chicken of extremely high quality. In front of each person there was even a small dipping saucer, and in the middle there were three bowls with three kinds of dipping sauces in them.
"Hey, are you eating?"
"Oh, you're just in time, come on." Lao Zhao was quick-witted and took out a pair of chopsticks that no one was using. With his other hand, he took out an empty bowl and put a few pieces of meat in it.
The five brothers stared with their eyes wide open. The eldest opened his mouth and closed it again. The second brother was about to say something when he was covered by the eldest brother. The third brother stared at Lao Zhao, and as soon as he opened his mouth, the second brother grabbed his neck.
As soon as the fourth brother looked up, the third brother, who had reacted, clamped his neck with a scissor kick.
When the fifth brother saw Wen Yan, he grinned and slapped him.
"Are you a bit promising? Wen Yan is here, can't we eat white-cut chicken?
You must give it to me, and it must be the best chicken tail and breast tail!"
The fifth brother was slapped for no reason and felt a little wronged.
"I didn't say anything."
"You're about to say something!"
"That's right!"
"You're such a jerk!"
"I felt something was wrong with you before, and now you dare not tell the difference between boiled chicken and white-cut chicken! It's terrible!"
The remaining four brothers denounced Lao Wu together.
Wen Yan just came up, and in the blink of an eye, he saw that the five brothers had become strange again, one holding another, strung together.
Wen Yan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and quickly waved to Lao Zhao.
"It's okay, I've eaten, you guys eat, and we'll eat together next time, I have something else to do."
Wen Yan quickly opened the door and left.
Seeing that Wen Yan didn't eat and left, Lao Zhao held the bowl, stretched out his tongue quickly, and licked the chicken pieces in the bowl.
"Good for you, Lao Zhao!"
"I didn't expect it!"
"You, Lao Zhao with thick eyebrows and big eyes!"
"You've learned to play tricks too!"
"You actually want to take the most delicious part for yourself!"
The five brothers sang in unison, stopped fighting among themselves, and stood up together to scold Lao Zhao.
Lao Zhao looked innocent.
"Is there any problem? Wen Yan doesn't want to eat, so should I put the food I picked out back on the plate?"
"..."The five brothers were instantly silent. Indeed, one of the rules of their food was that the food that was picked out of the plate must not be put back on the plate.
Lao Zhao grinned, and seeing the five brothers silent, he immediately took the bowl and sat aside. He took a breath happily, and saw that the piece of chicken in the bowl was shrinking rapidly.
The most delicious part of this white-cut chicken is not the chicken leg.
The first is the chicken tail, the part near the chicken butt, which is evenly fat and lean, with delicate meat and extremely tender. If you like delicious food, eat this piece.
The second is the tail of the chicken breast, where the skin is thin and meaty, and there are cartilages. When eating, you must eat with the skin. If you like the taste and chewiness, then this piece is the best.
Of course, it’s not that other parts are not delicious. If you grill it, the chicken butt is the best. After cleaning, this piece is the most plump and delicious. There is only this piece of chicken.
This piece, not only has no bones, but also has no toughness. It is easy to chew and extremely plump. In the past, it was used to honor the elderly with bad teeth.
In the past, when Lao Zhao and his friends ate white-cut chicken, it was not easy to fight for the two most delicious pieces of meat.
Today, Lao Zhao ate all the two chickens on the plate.
When Lao Zhao was about to finish eating, the five brothers finally came back to their senses. They were led into a ditch by Lao Zhao.
"Old Zhao, you are so shameless!"
"Eat alone! Be struck by lightning!"
"Can't pour it back into the plate? Can't we share it?"
"Originally, everyone could have one piece today!"
"Hiss..."
Old Zhao put down the empty bowl, chuckled, patted his belly, and laughed even more proudly. He stretched out a hand.
"Five! I remember, I have eaten five white-cut chickens in a row, and I haven't eaten the best one!"
"Beat him!"
On the other side, Wen Yan opened the door of his backyard and looked back. There was a lot of noise in Old Zhao's house. He smiled. His own house was more lively and lively.
He returned to the backyard and saw the little zombie flash into his arms, hugged his neck, and hung on him.
The little zombie looked up and saw Wen Yan's face. He jumped out with a look of shock.
"What's wrong?"
"Boom boom..." The little zombie looked shocked.
The sparrow cat flapped its wings and flew out. When it heard what the little zombie said, its pupils instantly dilated to the maximum.
"What?"
"What did the little guy say?"
"She said why there are so many lip prints on your face, each one is different." The sparrow cat was shocked and did not dare to approach Wen Yan: "Did you fall into the female ghost's nest?"
"Ah?" Wen Yan was more shocked than the little zombie. He touched his face, entered the room, and looked in the mirror. He couldn't see anything?
Is there anything he can't see?
But except for the little zombie, no one in the family saw the lip prints that the little zombie said.
Wen Yan was relieved. His family was so rich in species, and only the little zombie could see it, so it was okay.
If he couldn't see it, no one else could see it, which was the same as nothing.
Anyway, he believed that those ghosts would definitely not harm him.
Wen Yan returned home and relaxed, but no one else could relax.
The case in Nanyang had just begun. The large number of bodies buried in those locations had just begun to be excavated.
The funding was approved very quickly. On weekdays, there must be a lot of people who want to make money from this kind of work. The excavator driver was paid 300 yuan a day, and those guys dared to ask for 3,000 yuan.
But this time, no one dared to take the money. The 3,000 yuan a day approved for expedited payment was really paid out.
Many people in Nanyang are now almost scared.
Because the countless dead souls suddenly disappeared again, just like yesterday.
They are really afraid that the dead souls will disappear in this place and suddenly appear more than a thousand kilometers away.
The people who died in the past two days have not been cremated yet, and they dare not bury them. Next to Shenzhou, a member of the Nanyang Alliance has quietly found the Lieyang Department and asked how to deal with the bodies of those killed by the dead souls in a safer way.
The Lieyang Department did not hide it and told them that cremation with a luxury furnace or an enhanced luxury furnace and then scattering the ashes into the sea is the safest way.
Then, the other party said that they wanted to purchase three sets of luxury furnaces.
The Lieyang Department said that there was no stock and that the earliest delivery would be in four months.
The other party said that they could pay more.
The Lieyang Department said that it was not about paying more, but that the previous ones were all taken by someone.
The other party said that they could pay more and help lobby to see if there were any customers, and they could give way first.
The Lieyang Department said that there was really nothing they could do.
The other party said that if they paid more and also agreed to a deal with Shenzhou, we could make concessions.
Seeing that the other party was so sincere, the Lieyang Department was very embarrassed, so they said, then we will dismantle a set of our own 80% new ones and give them to you first.
Then the Lieyang Department sold a set of luxury furnaces to the other party at a price of 80 million per set, plus the corresponding system.
Including the furnace itself, plus a series of things such as exhaust purification and fuel supply, they can be installed for them in seven days at most.
And within these seven days, they will first give some other things, and send experts on business trips to ensure that there will be no problems with the bodies of those guys who were killed.
The head of the headquarters approved this kind of deal, so he naturally knew the first-hand information. According to what Wen Yan said, the guys killed by those ghosts probably didn't even have the chance to turn into corpses.
As for turning into ghosts, it was even more impossible. They were torn apart in the group of ghosts, and the torn parts were all involved in the group of ghosts, crushed and crushed again, and there was really no chance of going to hell.
Seeing that the other party was so sincere, the Lieyang Department told them their own judgment, but the other party said yes, yes, yes, but in fact they were more eager to purchase, so who could do anything.
People also think that you said this just to not sell it to me, because someone else offered a higher price!
It's not that no one asked the Lieyang Department before, but the Lieyang Department asked for tens of millions of dollars for one machine, so no one bought it. It's better to ask someone else for a higher cost-effectiveness.
After all, the luxury furnace of the Lieyang Department is not something that everyone can make.
The ordinary version is fine, and the manufacturing difficulty is not too high, but the enhanced version of the luxury furnace, Shenzhou's own cost starts at 50 million.
The enhanced version will definitely not be sold to the outside world, this thing is already the latest version.
The ordinary version of the luxury furnace can be sold as an export version, but there has never been a market for it.
Even the people of the Lieyang Department did not expect that the most direct and fastest impact of the Nanyang Alliance on Shenzhou would make their cremation system a hot commodity.
In the past, it was 8 million per unit, plus the supporting system, plus three maintenances per year, and no one wanted it.
There was no plan to make any money in the first place, and the money earned would be invested in subsequent research and development.
Selling it to the outside world is purely to keep the production of many parts from stopping, to prevent the technical workers from getting unfamiliar, and to try to reduce costs.
For things that can be reproduced, the more quantity, the lower the cost of each piece.
Who would have thought that now the second-hand ones are raised to 80 million, and even so, people still think you are a kind person, fortunately you have a good relationship before, and you really help when there is an emergency.
Things that have been losing money suddenly turned from loss to profit, and the profit margin soared to more than 800%.
No one in the Lieyang Department had really thought of these things in advance.
In the headquarters, the head of the headquarters had just signed the document and put the parts together. The few machines that could be assembled were sold first.
We will talk about the rest later.
As soon as he looked up, he saw a prompt on the computer next to him, indicating that Wen Yan's location had changed and he had appeared in Decheng.
He rubbed his temples and thought, Wen Yan jumped too fast.
He couldn't keep up. How did Wen Yan come back?
What about those dead souls?
He picked up the phone, thought about it, and thought of what Black Box had said before. He sighed secretly, Wen Yan was tired enough, and put the phone down again.
Since Wen Yan dared to come back, it means that there is no problem, otherwise he would not have returned home.
The subsequent events have just begun, and these things are what the Lieyang Department has to do.
A lot of news has begun to spread on the Internet in Shenzhou, but it is still under control for the time being, in a state of false and true, watching foreign magic news.
The hot searches are still about this star cheating and that star's new drama being released.
But a lot of information has already started to circulate among the people.
The workload of the Lieyang Department has begun to increase, and the workload of other related departments is also increasing.
It is a novel website. The supernatural category was cut off a few years ago. Now some people open new books and write something supernatural, and they find that it seems to be fine?
Changes and influences are all-round, and they will appear in places that many people don’t expect.
This is also the reason why the Lieyang Department and the higher-ups are very cautious about disclosing certain information.
The general manager was looking at the information and thinking about things, and the secretary knocked on the door and came in.
"General manager, seven families in the Nanyang Alliance have sent invitations to talk to the Lieyang Department.
Someone from the capital of the Nanyang Alliance also came to negotiate, saying that one of their ministers, plus the heads of the other three departments, want to visit Shenzhou.
It specifically stated that they wanted to have some friendly exchanges with the Lieyang Department, especially to meet the general manager.
In Europe, the church people also want to visit Shenzhou... Well, they said they want to see the three scriptures of the second son of God."
Hearing this, the general manager looked up at the secretary.
The chief secretary immediately added.
"These are their original words."
The general manager was a little nervous.
Although Lao Hong was indeed certified, and the other party did not debate with him, there were many reasons for this result. It was very complicated and involved the interests of many people and many considerations.
All the sects tacitly never mentioned this matter, and Shenzhou naturally would not mention it. They did not want to pay attention to them in the first place, so how could they promote it? It was good enough that it was not banned.
No matter how coldly they handled it, according to their own legal principles, there was really no problem with this matter. The most difficult thing was that there were complete records of this matter.
In the last years of the Dharma, there was naturally no problem, but with the revival of spiritual energy, things became more risky.
In the early years, many sects wanted to preach in Shenzhou, and they spent a lot of money. They distributed eggs and grain and oil every week, which made many old ladies nearby active.
But after the revival of spiritual energy, eggs were no longer sent.
The Lieyang tribe did not understand it at first, but later they got a reason that no one expected.
They were afraid. They were afraid that after the development of the sects in Shenzhou, if they pulled out Lao Hong again, they would use the legal orthodoxy to make a strong claim and then counterattack.
Of course, they were not afraid of the Three Mountains and Five Peaks. The people of the Three Mountains and Five Peaks would not come to their territory to rob their faith and crush them.
However, if they believed in the same god, the nature would be completely different, and they might really crush them.
Especially after the revival of spiritual energy, the progress was getting faster and faster. This kind of low-probability event that could have been ignored was really possible.
The simplest thing was to have a so-called miracle.
The director of the headquarters really didn't expect that after so many years, something that he couldn't remember under normal circumstances was actually mentioned by a sect over there.
He rubbed his head and closed his eyes to think.
He understood that this was a different way of thinking, which created a completely different brain circuit.
He was now thinking about what those guys were thinking and how their brains could be pulled to such a weird place.
After thinking again and again.
"Tell them that we are busy recently. There are too many things going on here. There are huge risks in the Nanyang Alliance next to Shenzhou. Tell them not to come.
Forget it, just follow the template and say a polite refusal."
The chief secretary also felt a little uncomfortable. He thought he was well-informed, but he had never seen what happened in the past few days.
The head of the headquarters looked at the phone and couldn't help sighing, because Wen Yan disappeared with those ghosts again, which led to a lot of things. Now a lot of people are worried.
And very few people know that Wen Yan is involved in this matter, and now it is even more impossible to let people know.
The head of the headquarters did not intend to kindly tell others that those ghosts disappeared this time and should not suddenly appear from thousands of miles away again.
For some people, it is good to be afraid, and it is also good to have some awe in your heart.
In this era, if you lose your awe, you will probably die faster, and there is a greater probability of causing a big disaster.
Even if the head of the headquarters has seen a lot of things, he couldn't help but be angry when he saw the things sent back by Wen Yan this time. It has nothing to do with his position. It is purely human instinct.
The general manager picked up the phone and called the old Taoist priest.
"Old Taoist priest, there is something. Those ghosts disappeared again..." The general manager said roughly.
"Wen Yan has returned home. Why don't you ask him directly?"
"Let him rest for a while. He has done his best and exceeded his limit."
The old Taoist priest smiled and said.
"Why think so complicated. Wen Yan will definitely not do it to scare everyone. With his temperament... I'm afraid he just wants to save those poor ghosts."
"Uh..." The general manager was slightly startled and nodded: "That's right, then it's okay."
On the cliff of Yunhai, the old Taoist priest hung up the phone and shook his head.
"What is this little guy now? The path he walked out is a little confusing."
In Decheng, Wen Yan came to the basement and opened the prison. He found that the Chaofeng inside had disappeared. The core members who depended on that system were directly wiped out after losing the last shelter.
He burned incense to several big guys in the basement, worshiped, and came to the next door.
My silly son is very helpful this time. I have to take a look at him. I can’t be away on business every day. By the way, I have to take a look at him again. Don’t let my silly son eat too much.
