Chapter 229 The Squint-Eyed Alchemist
"Ah~"
"Help~"
The screams continued, and after a while, the screams stopped abruptly when the last cremator was rushed.
The cold wind was blowing, and the smell of blood wafted wantonly in the air. Blood gushed out from the cracks in the iron gate, staining the already dark red marble floor red again.
"Wow~"
The sound of iron chains colliding sounded again and again, but strangely and slowly returned to silence.
The centurion listened attentively, and couldn't help frowning slightly.
Black-haired zombies are extremely powerful and ferocious. They belong to a type of zombies, but their intelligence is not high. Compared with other types of zombies, they are relatively stronger, but there is no qualitative difference. It is a kind of zombie that basically relies on instinct. wight.
After the black hair froze after devouring the flesh, although its viciousness would be reduced like a full-fledged beast, it was still restless.
The most common move is to break the door and escape.
This is also the most consistent behavior of all the murderous corpses after the murder.
But inside the cremation room, there was silence.
It seems a little unusual.
"Where is Yuanqing Guanzhu?" the centurion asked the left and right.
"My lord, he's in Cuixiang Tower, and he'll be there soon," said one of his subordinates.
The centurion calmly waited with his arms crossed.
After about a stick of incense, Guanzhu Yuanqing came.
It was a squint-eyed alchemist with a sharp and thin face, and his eyes were philistine and greedy. He rode a sedan chair and was carried by two dull-faced bearers, walking quickly.
The pawns rode along with them, but they fell behind.
Before the sedan chair was lifted, the voices of the two porters came first: "Master Yuan Qing is here, Master Yuan Qing is here!"
The voices overlapped, blunt and without a trace of popularity.
"I've seen Master Yuan Qing."
The centurion glanced at the two bearers and stepped forward to greet them.
"Whole grains and miscellaneous grains are in the world of mortals, and gold, silver and jewels are on the street. The master of this temple recognizes money but not people. Is there any silver?" The squint-eyed alchemist read a few sentences in a cadence, cut straight to the point, and stretched out his hand to make such a hook, his face full of greed.
"Don't worry, the Venerable Master. If you don't show respect, don't dare to bother the Venerable Master."
The centurion nodded and waved after speaking. A soldier hurried forward and opened a small box in his arms. Inside were four silver ingots.
"It's easy to handle if you have silver." The squint-eyed alchemist smiled, stretched out his hand to put the silver ingot into his arms, and asked, "What's going on tonight?"
"Returning to the Master, there are five black-haired corpses and one dead body. The cremator has been killed." The centurion said.
After the chaos of corpses started, Governor Sun Yuanhua hung up a list to invite strangers from all walks of life to guard the corpses. It started to be a little chaotic, scammers emerged in endlessly, but there were also a few people with real skills.
This squint-eyed alchemist is one of them.
He called himself Yuanqing Guanzhu, but he didn't know who it was.
The governor's yamen doesn't look into the details, as long as it can be driven, it will be used.
"It's just black hair, it's simple." The squinting alchemist shook his head and ordered the two porters: "Get off the sedan chair."
But the eyes of the two bearers in the front and back were dull and indifferent.
"I said get off the sedan chair."
The squint-eyed alchemist repeated it again.
Only then did the two porters move, and the strange thing was that they didn't get off the sedan chair, but walked forward quickly, and they jumped out more than thirty steps in the blink of an eye.
"Stop, stop."
The squint-eyed alchemist hastily slapped the sedan chair.
The two bearers stopped again, and said in repeated voices: "Master Yuan Qing, stop! Master Yuan Qing, stop!"
The squint-eyed alchemist looked bitter, "Back back."
"Master Yuan Qing, go back, Master Yuan Qing, go back!"
The two bearers quickly turned around and returned to their original positions.
The centurion watched quietly, as usual.
The two bearers of the squint-eyed alchemist carried the sedan chair very fast, they didn't eat or drink, and they wore single clothes and short jackets in the cold winter and the twelfth lunar month, so they often failed.
If it was a peaceful and prosperous age, Yuan Qing Guanzhu would be wanted immediately if he dared to swagger through the market, but this is a troubled world, as long as he can use it, no matter he is a monster.
"I said get off the sedan chair."
The squint-eyed alchemist repeated it unrequitedly.
"Master Yuan Qing gets off the sedan chair, Master Yuan Qing gets off the sedan chair!"
Only then did the two porters lower the sedan chair, moving swiftly as usual, and the sedan chair landed on the ground with a "shua", the squint-eyed alchemist hung in the air for a moment before falling down, and sat heavily on the sedan chair, jumping out of anger He got up and kicked the bearer fiercely, cursing in his mouth: "Stupid thing, what use are you for~"
As a result, the bearer was kicked but remained motionless, like a wooden stake.
On the other hand, the squint-eyed alchemist backed away clutching his feet with an "ouch", and almost didn't fall.
"My lord, there has been no movement inside for a long time, please take a look as soon as possible." The centurion didn't want to wait for the squint-eyed alchemist to toss about, and stepped forward to urge him.
Linqing City was an important logistics area for the former army, if anything went wrong, no one would be able to bear the blame if the governor's yamen blamed it.
Otherwise, it would not be possible to carry a lot of money with the team and hire strange people like squint-eyed alchemists to take action at any time.
Consciously tell him that something is not right inside.
It was so quiet.
"Humph!"
The squint-eyed alchemist snorted coldly, then packed his clothes and walked to the door of the crematorium, saying: "Open the door."
Two soldiers hurried to the door, unlocked the big lock on the door, and then retreated and pulled the long rope tied to the door.
"Squeak~"
The door made a toothache sound and slowly opened.
"Quack quack ~"
"Boom!"
The door had just revealed a crack, and then a loud bang was heard.
A thing covered in black fur rushed towards the squinting alchemist.
It's a black-haired corpse monster!
The broken iron chains were still dragging on the limbs, rattling.
"evil creature!"
The squint-eyed alchemist focused his eyes, pushed his hand, and a yellow cloth flew out of his sleeve, instantly swelled in the wind, and covered the black-haired corpse head-on, water ripples under his feet, and he took two steps sideways.
In the blink of an eye, one person and one corpse intertwine.
The black-haired corpse was covered by a yellow cloth, and instinctively tore the yellow cloth when it landed.
But as soon as the yellow cloth was torn off, a corpse-suppressing talisman prepared by the squint-eyed alchemist a long time ago was pasted on its forehead like lightning.
This is a silver corpse suppressing talisman, and the black-haired corpse will fall if it sticks it.
In two breaths, the battle is over.
It was so fast that it was almost impossible to react.
"The Venerable Master has good means."
The centurion nodded, which was not a compliment.
"It's just that the black hair is stiff. If it jumps stiff, the master of the temple has to cheer up. Keep the corpse. Remember to return my corpse-suppressing talisman." The squint-eyed alchemist smiled contemptuously.
However, the voice just fell.
"Quack~"
"Quack quack quack ~"
The terrifying voice sounded again.
It wasn't the black-haired corpse that fell to the ground, but the inside of the crematorium.
Several times, not just one.
"Quack quack ~"
The next moment, three black-haired corpses jumped out of the crematorium at the same time, and landed beside the fallen black-haired corpse, tearing the yellow cloth. At the same time, there was a "quack" sound from the roof of the crematorium.
It's another one!
What is different is that its back is covered with thorns. At first glance, it looks like the spines of a spinosaurus, with more black hair and scarlet blood eyes.
Almost at the moment when everyone raised their heads, it swooped down and landed on the body of a soldier who was pulling the rope to open the door with the force of Mount Tai. In an instant, waves of blood flew, and the body suddenly fell into pieces, without even having time to scream.
When the centurion saw it, panic appeared on his face, and he exclaimed, "Jump to death!"
The squint-eyed alchemist also had a shocked expression on his face.
He reacted the fastest, turned around and ran towards the sedan chair: "Run!"
Jumping Zombie is a mutated corpse among the Black-haired Zombies. It is naturally the leader of the Black-haired Zombie, possessing a certain amount of wisdom.
A single black-haired zombie with low intelligence is easy to deal with, but a group of black-haired zombies is terrifying, and the strength of jumping zombies is much better than that of a black-haired zombie.
This situation is completely impossible.
"Withdraw, withdraw quickly!!"
The centurion yelled, turned and ran.
However, no matter how fast he and the squint-eyed alchemist were, there were two people who were faster than them.
who?
Those two wooden bearers.
I saw them lift up the sedan chair with a "swish" sound, and ride away!
After a few breaths, there was no trace left, and only the sound came back: "Master Yuan Qing, run, Master Yuan Qing, run!"
The squint-eyed alchemist who fell behind suddenly turned green.
"Stupid thing, I haven't gotten into the sedan chair yet!"
