The corner of the magic path was dug by me [Rebirth]

Lu Ningchu didn't want to admit this guess.But when he saw the situation on the battlefield the next day, he had to sink his heart.

After the troops were withdrawn yesterday, there was no one to clean the battlefield.Countless corpses piled up on the battlefield, and the soldiers who charged again for today stepped on their feet, making disgusting sticky sounds.

——Even if poor command and conscription are unavoidable, it is not possible to not even collect the corpses of soldiers who died in battle.

Collecting the corpses of the dead soldiers is the most basic respect and compassion. Lu Ningchu couldn't believe that the always gentle senior sister Bai Niyunbai in his memory would be so cold and let the dead soldiers expose their corpses to the wilderness and suffer countless tramples.

And it wasn't just Bai Niyun who was strange.

Jincheng did not have enough military supplies to supply the temporarily conscripted civilians, and the trampled corpses continued to splatter blood, soaking the soldiers' cloth shoes and underwear.However, none of the "soldiers" who had just entered the battlefield expressed discomfort.

— that's just crazy.

On the current battlefield, the bones are piled up and squeezed into mud, and the black soil is soaked in blood. In such a situation, even he and Long Yuan frowned when they met.Not long ago, he was a "soldier" who was a commoner and had never been killed. How could everyone not change his face about this.

In the current situation, it seems that everyone has lost the emotion of fear.

It is a good thing for soldiers to move forward bravely without fear of life and death, but if they go beyond common sense, it will appear terrifying.

It was inconvenient to intervene during the war, so Lu Ningchu waited until today's break before going to Bai Niyun again.

"Senior Sister, I think the bones on the battlefield must have been piled up for a long time, and there are countless dead souls lingering there. Why didn't the city send people to clean it up and do it for salvation?"

Sword cultivators don't know the method of transcendence, but the sect where Bai Niyun's fiancé Qin Ge belongs to does.

Bai Niyun showed helplessness again: "Yezhao's army is keeping a close eye on it, and sending people to clean up the battlefield and save the souls of the dead will attract enemy arrows."

What is inside and outside the words is the meaning of laissez-faire.Lu Ningchu's eyes remained unchanged, and he said worriedly: "But there are so many corpses and dead souls, if you ignore them, it is inevitable that something will happen and a terrible thing will be born. Senior sister is worried that something will happen after sending someone out, why don't you let me go with Long Yuan. I and Long Yuan's disguise is bound to be impossible for the opponent to see through, and with our skills, it is impossible for the opponent to hurt us."

But Bai Niyun shook his head: "No way. If our people stay on the battlefield for a long time, I'm afraid it will stir up Yezhao's army to send troops again regardless of the weather."

Lu Ning couldn't help it at first, so he could only show a sleepy look: "Well, I didn't think about it."

Bai Niyun comforted: "You don't have to blame yourself, senior sister knows that you have good intentions. It's just that Yezhao insisted on this battle, we really can't act rashly."

After leaving Bai Niyun's residence, Lu Ningchu, who was still sympathetic to Bai Niyun's hard work in supervising the battle, immediately darkened.

There was indeed something wrong with Bai Niyun. Regarding the heavy casualties of Jincheng soldiers, she actually planned to let it go.Lu Ningchu didn't want to admit that his senior sister had become an indifferent person who regarded the lives of ordinary people as nothing, but apart from his attitude towards the Jincheng war, Bai Niyun's other behaviors were as usual.

She was still the gentle and considerate senior sister who took great care of him, which made Lu Ningchu even more confused about what went wrong to make Bai Niyun become like this.

Long Yuan naturally knew what he was worrying about, squeezed his fingers, and said: "Maybe it's really because of helplessness."

"No." Lu Ningchu pursed his lips tightly.

Even if helpless, Bai Niyun is not someone who will give up.

Lu Ningchu's footsteps suddenly stopped, he squeezed Long Yuan's hand and said, "I think my senior sister's situation is a bit similar to Li Yunlang's."

Long Yuan didn't know Li Yunlang well, so he could only follow along and ask, "Where does it look like?"

Lu Ningchu glanced at the depression before: "My senior sister's abnormality is not noticeable. If I hadn't been close to her and knew her very well, I wouldn't have noticed anything wrong. And Li Yunlang was the same before, and he was good with me at other times. It’s just that if you suddenly want to go to the underground palace of the Dream Weaving Realm, you won’t listen to my persuasion.”

"So maybe the 'old monster' who possessed Li Yunlang attacked your senior sister?"

"Yes." Lu Ningchu nodded, and immediately pulled Long Yuan back, "And the whole Jincheng is very strange, everyone is unmoved by such serious casualties. Regardless of the soldiers, those who were conscripted as soldiers did not How could it be possible for the common people to look at such a battlefield and not feel scared at all, but were as fierce as hungry wolves to fight the Yezhao army."

Bai Qing was rich in grain production, and he didn't have the conditions to turn ordinary people into fierce wolves.

The two carefully sneaked back to Bai Niyun's room.

Although the fact that Bai Niyun was fainted too smoothly made Lu Ningchu hesitate a little, but out of caution not knowing what the "old monster" could do, Lu Ningchu still penetrated his spiritual sense into Bai Niyun's body.

The cool spiritual consciousness invaded Bai Niyun's meridians, and was about to check the opponent's sea of ​​consciousness carefully, but felt a small black shadow rushing towards him.

Lu Ningchu immediately withdrew his spiritual consciousness and grabbed the black shadow. After seeing the true face of the black shadow, his face suddenly changed.

It was a corpse worm!

The anomalies of other people seemed to have an answer, but what made Lu Ningchu even more worried was how the corpse worms would appear in Jincheng, which is far away from Luo'an City.

Jincheng and Luo'an City belong to two countries, and there is another country between the two countries. The corpse worms appearing in these two places has a chilling meaning.

Rather than guessing on your own, it is obviously better to ask someone who has experienced it first.Lu Ningchu confirmed that there was nothing abnormal in Bai Niyun's body except for the corpse insect, so he woke it up.

Bai Niyun woke up faintly, but she was not surprised to see Lu Ningchu and Long Yuan, but instead asked, "What's wrong with me?"

Lu Ningchu showed her the corpse worm frozen in the ice: "This is forced out of your body, Senior Sister. Do you feel that there is something strange about yourself a few days ago?"

Bai Niyun was intelligent, quick-witted, and thoughtful. Lu Ningchu didn't need to say much, and after a little thought, his face changed: "A few days ago, I thought that the casualties of soldiers didn't matter, and the more dead the better."

She frowned: "The same goes for everyone else in the city."

She participated in all the discussions of General Jincheng, so she understood the purpose of various decisions.

The reason why the people in the city are not afraid of death is also clearly on the paper, it is obvious that they are also affected by the corpse insect like Bai Niyun.

I thought that corpse worms could only turn people into puppets, but I didn't want to have such a subtle use.Lu Ningchu can now be sure that there must be black hands behind the corpse insects and ghosts, and the opponent is unfathomable and has great plans.

"Senior sister, do you have any clues to your own trick?"

Since the entire city of Jincheng was affected, how could it be possible that only a few ghouls appeared in Luo'an City and its surrounding towns, and only a few people were controlled by the corpse insects.However, there are tens of thousands of people in these towns alone. Even if they are anxious, it is impossible to solve the problem in a short time.

Corpse worms are hard to guard against. Compared to deworming these people one by one, it seems to be more sensible to find out who is behind the scenes as soon as possible and stop him from spreading corpse worms.

Bai Niyun thought for a long time, but shook her head with embarrassment: "No."

Bai Niyun's "no" was not careless at all, she must have recalled the past carefully, but she couldn't find any abnormalities in it.

Things got trickier.

Lu Ningchu asked again: "Are there any strange people in that city?"

Bai Niyun still shook her head.

Lu Ningchu asked again: "During this period of time, have people from the Supreme Heavenly Palace come to Jincheng?"

Bai Niyun raised her eyebrows, her eyes showed a little surprise, and then she denied it again: "No. Except when I first came here, I had a face-to-face meeting with the cultivator from the Supreme Heavenly Palace who came to pick me up, and then I didn't say anything again. I have never seen someone who is too high up in the Heavenly Palace."

During the 30 years of the truce, most of the monks in Jincheng withdrew, but the Nascent Soul monks who were originally stationed in the formation did not leave.Later, Bai Niyun led Li Hentian's disciples to come, but the Nascent Soul cultivator from the Supreme Heavenly Palace still refused to leave, and finally the Supreme Heavenly Palace sent someone to invite him, and the other party finally left.

"Are those monks who came here disciples of Chiyangtian?" Although the Supreme Heavenly Palace just came to pick up people, but without other clues, this is the only coincidence worth thinking about.

However, Bai Niyun's answer was disappointing.

"It's a person who is too heavenly."

As the head of the "heaven" in the Taishang Tiangong, Taishangtian has the responsibility of maintaining the balance of each "heaven". Although it is inevitable to favor sides occasionally, it will not be too much.Taishangtian will definitely not collude with Chiyangtian to do such a thing that is intolerable by nature and self-destructs the Great Wall.

This way is blocked, so we can only find another way.

"Senior sister, do you remember when the atmosphere in the city started to become abnormal? Was it the atmosphere when you first came here, or did it gradually change after that?"

Bai Niyun is quite clear about this: "Everything was normal when I first came here, and if there was something abnormal in the city, Qin Ge would have told me."

That is to say, the anomalies in the city and the spread of corpse insects all appeared after Bai Niyun came.

There was a gloomy look in Lu Ningchu's eyes. At such a coincidental time, if something happened, it would be very easy to blame Bai Niyun.

He suspected that the mastermind behind the scenes was most likely the "Old Monster" and Li Yunlang.After all, the last time in Luo'an City, those ghouls managed to hide from his and Long Yuan's perception.Moreover, they had never heard of corpse worms elsewhere before, and these two and him were the only three people who had entered the swamp in the Great Wasteland and seen corpse worms in recent years.

Apart from the fact that these two people brought out the corpse worms and used them, there is really no other more reasonable explanation.As for the purpose of these two people, thinking about the day when Gu Chongming killed his father, it seems that Li Yunlang wanted to refine a powerful corpse king to strengthen himself.

However, he still has something he can't figure out.

Li Yunlang had often swallowed his anger in front of Chi Yangtian's disciples before, but according to his current extreme mentality, his hatred for Chi Yangtian might not be much less than that for him.He didn't understand why Li Yunlang went to Chi Yangtian to cooperate, or could it be said that it was their personal choice for Du Yun and others to participate in refining ghouls?

Whatever doubts there were, finding the true master was obviously the clearest way.

The corpse worms in the city began to spread after they arrived, so someone must be acting secretly. They failed to find any clues about each other, but the largest intelligence organization may not have no clues.

The three of Lu Ningchu hurried to Qianhezhai in Jincheng.

After entering the door, Lu Ningchu didn't explain the purpose of coming first, but grabbed the shopkeeper and injected a spiritual force into his body.

The chilly spiritual power rushed straight to the sky, the shopkeeper was about to feel terrified, wondering how he had brought about a fatal disaster, when he saw Lu Ningchu reach out to grab it, and then handed an ice puck to his eyes.

"It's the corpse bug in your head."
