The leader was a familiar face of Li Wei, a centurion under the command of Li Wei. After seeing Li Wei, he hurried over and said that Wang had important things to look for him, but he didn't know what it was.

Fortunately, the matter here has been handled almost well. In addition to bringing a few corpses of ghouls as evidence, Li Wei asked Xiaoling to set off a fire and burned all the remaining corpses, whether humans, monsters or ghouls.

As soon as he returned to Niujia Village, Li Wei found that it was a little different outside. The number of soldiers responsible for defense here was at least 30%. He immediately knew that he must have been moving from demons somewhere, so Captain Wang immediately sent more people.

Sure enough, when he saw Wang Xiaowei, the other party spoke up with a very unfortunate news: "Sir, the Ghost King of Daqingshan led his troops to plunder, and the militias in each village were unable to resist. In three days, seven villages were robbed. It is estimated that more than two thousand people died."

Li Wei was also shocked at the moment: "Two thousand people? Wouldn't that mean that most villages are empty in nine out of ten rooms?"

In Changqingdao, where all kinds of conditions are very bad and demons attack from time to time, the population size of each village is very small, and there are very few people who can live to the age of fifty, regardless of gender.

In terms of Zhangjia Village, it is not counted as the large number of refugees recruited by Li Wei after his succession. There were originally only one hundred households there, with a total population of about six hundred.

In this way, it can be regarded as a big village on the island, because other ordinary small villages only have forty or fifty households and three or four hundred people.

No matter how small it is, it is just that the number is very small. Because there are few people, there are naturally few males who can serve as the main combat power. They will easily decline rapidly due to attacks from demons or other reasons. Usually no fool would call hundreds or dozens of people to build a village.

But now Wang Xiaowei said that more than 2,000 people were killed or injured in seven villages, which means that the people in these seven villages were almost dead. This is a massacre!

"That's right, that's exactly that." Captain Wang nodded with heavy eyes.

Although General Ying Yan received the order at the beginning to eliminate the Ghost King of Daqingshan, and did not say that he would protect the villagers or something, if all the villagers in Changqingdao were killed by the other party during this process, even if they finally completed the task and killed the Ghost King, it would not be of much significance. Instead, it would make General Ying Yan very embarrassed in the court.

Zhan Hu next to him was silent, but from his clenched fists, Li Wei could also see that he also hated this kind of behavior.

"And according to the survivors, the Ghost King also took away all the corpses while leaving, probably for the food of the monsters who followed it."

This topic became even heavier. The Zhendan Empire always emphasized the deceased's peace, and the second was cremation, but this time the deceased's treatment was probably not acceptable.

Since the day when monsters appeared, until now, they have been keen on cannibalizing people to fill their stomachs, because according to the monsters that were once captured, human flesh is the most delicate texture, and it contains blood and spiritual energy, which is of great benefit to monsters.

The same is true for ghosts.

Although they can live by absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth like autumn geese, it doesn’t matter if they occasionally open meat, but it will be more beneficial to them.

Li Wei couldn't help but feel silent for a moment. More than two thousand lives, and the lives of innocent civilians. The few words of Wang Xiaowei's words were filled with the bloody smell.

Coupled with the casualties in recent battles, as well as the three thousand troops led by Ye Qing who were ambushed and killed by the ambush last time, more and more people died directly or indirectly by the Ghost King of Daqingshan.

And although Wang Xiaowei believed that the Ghost King took away the body as food, Li Wei had to suspect that it might have other uses.

Today, the Nong Lao Tong has shown a way to awaken the corpse ghosts. No one can really be sure whether the Ghost King, who has been in contact with the Nong Lao Tong for the longest time, will he learn some other spells together?

Captain Wang suddenly asked, "Sir, where are Feng Ming and Qing Fengzi?"

No wonder he always felt that something was missing now, what was going on with the Buddha and the Tao? He disappeared when he encountered important problems. So he was a little angry, so he simply stopped calling the master this time.

Li Wei couldn't help but sigh: "There are some reasons for them, because they were ambushed by the immortal boy and the king of mandrill. Fortunately, after we fought to the death, we finally killed these two evil demon kings." This is probably the only good news today.

Wang Xiaowei was immediately excited: "A tricky monster, Bu Lao Tong, was actually killed?"

"I guess it must be yours, you did it?" Although it was a question, Zhan Hu's tone was full of affirmation.

"The whole thing is to rely on subordinates to die, and the soldiers will use their lives." Li Wei didn't say much, because he was still thinking about what to do to avoid the eighth slaughtered village.

But for a moment he had no idea, because even if he built the Ziwei Temple in all the villages and sent one hundred soldiers in each village, it would be impossible for him to truly resist the attack of the demon king. Instead, the defense in Niujia Village would be greatly weakened due to the dispersion of troops.

If the opponent is allowed to break through here, it means that the entire Changqingdao will be completely destroyed.

Because the population of the county behind is only a few thousand, the war is only a few hundred old and weak, and some disabled people in the previous battles are also powerless to resist when facing the demon king.

Captain Wang immediately slapped the table and stood up: "This is really a great thing. I want to report to the general immediately and ask for merit for you. When the general leads the army to meet, we will completely wipe out the evil spirits on the island!"

Sure enough, the general read that Lord Li and his subordinates are truly trustworthy. As for the Jinling Temple and Cangfeng Sect, they are just empty names, and they know how to make money!

At this moment, Li Wei suddenly had a lit up: "You mean to be able to reconcile? Yes, although we cannot divide the troops, we can make each village reconcile. No, wait, how long is it to go before the autumn harvest?"

Li Wei suddenly thought of this important question. Even if he could take out part of the military rations as compensation, the villagers might not be willing to give up their farmland, so his plan would be completely empty talk.

Captain Wang was stunned for a moment, and then he quickly understood what Li Wei meant, but he could only shake his head helplessly: "Sir, it's about half a month left. Even if you give the order, they probably won't choose to leave now."

"And there are dozens of villages on the island, which add up to more than 10,000 people. Niujia Village and the county cannot accommodate so many people."

"What's more, we don't have much food anymore. If we give them military rations, General Ying Yan blames them..."

He knew that Taoist Ziwei must have been too concerned about the villagers, so he was a little confused for a moment. Otherwise, with the intelligence and intelligence shown by the other party before, he would never have thought of these problems.

Even if they are threatened by demons, they are always threatened by their lives, but for farmers, the food in the fields is also their lives. Unless the demons kill them, no villagers will choose to leave at this critical moment.

Moreover, the Niujia Village store all military rations for soldiers. If they are distributed to the villagers casually, even if he is General Ying Yan's confidant, Taoist Ziwei is trusted, but he also has to bear great responsibility.

Li Wei gritted his teeth and finally decided to stick to this idea: "But at least we can give them a choice. Moreover, our food is enough to last for more than a month, and when the autumn harvest comes, we don't have to worry too much. What's more,"

Li Wei changed his voice: "Although he is known as the Ghost King, it is actually just a ghost. Its greatest helper, the old boy, has also been killed. Don't you have the confidence to solve it within a month?"

"Think about it, how many demon kings have we killed? Are you still missing this one?"

When both of them heard Li Wei say this, they suddenly felt a little excited, especially because of Wang Xiaowei, because he met Li Wei earlier than Zhan Hu, so he knew the other party's series of brilliant achievements.

The Mad Ape King, the Fire Spirit Monkey King, the Ageless Child, and the Mountain Mandrill King, except for the wolf demon Ling Xuzi who saw the opportunity that day, so they quickly slipped away and then disappeared again, they had killed four demon kings, and there was even a Holy demon who was no less powerful than the Demon King.

He also heard that before this, when the other party was still in Zhangjia Village, he had killed a demon king. In this way, at least six demon kings were killed. The opponent's strength and potential were beyond doubt, and there was definitely great hope for dealing with the Ghost King!

Zhan Hu stood up first, and he slapped his chest hard, making a series of dull loud noises: "Zhan Hu is willing to obey the command of the adults and kill the Ghost King of Daqingshan!"

Captain Wang couldn't help but sigh. He knew the other party's background very well, so he was not surprised at all when the other party made such a choice, but this made him feel embarrassed.

After sighing deeply again, Wang Xiaowei also bowed: "Wang Ba is willing to obey the orders of the adults and open up military rations, but I can't guarantee that many villagers will be willing to abandon the fields and come here. And if the general blames him, I hope he will say more good words to me."

Li Wei immediately understood what he meant, and he couldn't help but shook his head: "Person Wang is too small, how can you bear this matter with all your strength?"

His request was a bit too much. If he asked the other party to take full responsibility for him, then he would be too much.

Wang Xiaowei smiled and said nothing more: "Then I will send someone to various villages to send messages immediately. In addition, the lord just call me Wang Ba."

Li Wei felt the other party's kindness, but of course he could not just call him the name. Ordinary villagers may not pay attention to this, but the other party was the captain who had been with the prince Ying Yan for many years, and it was very likely that he had been following the imperial capital Weijing, so he still had to pay attention to some etiquette.

He immediately bowed, "Then it's a blessing for Brother Wang. If there is really a village that doesn't want to come, I will take out some drawings for them to build the Ziwei Temple, which is also a sign of expressing their feelings."

General Ying Yan had promised before that Li Wei could freely build temples in all villages in Changqingdao, but every drawing would require a certain amount of his faith. Recently, under the pressure of demons such as the immortal child, he did not go to various villages to promote this matter in person, but now he can do it with the flow.

Of course, he will definitely have a choice. If it is a village with extremely weak strength and cannot even protect himself, he will not give the other party a drawing easily. Otherwise, if he gives it today, the other party will be destroyed by the monster tomorrow. Then wouldn’t his investment be wasted?

It is better to let them come to Niujia Village to avoid it for a while, and it is not too late to build the Ziwei Temple after the Ghost King is completely eradicated.

"Sir Gao Yi." Wang Xiaowei immediately hugged his fists. Even for them, architectural drawings were really rare.

Then he changed his voice: "In addition, if it is convenient, adults can first go to the county to build a temple. The population there is more than Niujia Village, so it must be of great help to promote your family."

Like others, he also believed that the reason why Li Wei built a temple without any worship was to promote it to the greatest extent. After all, the Heavenly Court and the North Pole Ziwei appeared in the ears of everyone for the first time. If there is no attractive thing, it is not so easy to compete with other sects for faith.

Li Wei was a little moved. In fact, he had thought about it before, but he finally gave up this idea temporarily.

Because now his high priest is punished by heaven, only she knows best how to promote faith and develop believers. However, due to the monks of Jinling Temple, he has no way to bring her out, for fear of revealing any flaws, which will trigger a full-scale war with Jinling Temple.

Even her little disciples are the same. Even if the monks of Jinling Temple do not remember their appearance, their various strengths and even their styles are in line with the punishment of heaven and are easily seen through.

But now, the situation is slightly different because he has two subordinates, Youbixing and Ye Qing, the Ganshui Ape.

Needless to say, Youbi Xing, Li Wei knew that he must be a smart person when he saw it at first. He did not disappoint Li Wei's expectations in the next few battles. He was indeed worthy of Youbi Xing's name and was a natural assistant.

Ye Qing was originally the county magistrate there. Although he had just taken office and led 3,000 people to die, and not long after, even he himself was killed by demons, he was not a complete waste. He still had a considerable understanding of the situation in all aspects of the county. If the two cooperated with each other, it would probably have a certain effect.

Thinking of this, he nodded immediately: "Okay, I'll continue to arrange this, but the ghost king is powerful and I can't go there in person. I can only send my subordinates to take a trip, hoping that the people in the county will accept the faith of the North Pole Ziwei."

Wang Xiaowei suddenly laughed: "Sir, don't worry. The hundreds of soldiers stationed by the county magistrate are my brothers. As long as I say hello, they will definitely cooperate well."

Li Wei suddenly burst into laughter. Indeed, if this is the case, even if he doesn't go there in person, the effect will not be bad. After all, it is because of the raging demons.

Ordinary civilians cannot count on Buddhism and Taoism at all. Their greatest reliance is the imperial army. Once Captain Wang speaks, they will naturally follow them.

However, he still reminded him: "Then I'll trouble Brother Wang, but our faith is voluntary, pious, and not accepting worship. I hope Brother Wang will know it. Don't let the brothers below misunderstand what I mean. We never need to be forced faith."

If compulsive means are used, even if some civilians are helpless, they pretend to believe in the Arctic Ziwei on the surface, but in fact they cannot provide any power of faith. Instead, they may be resentful because of being forced. Li Wei does not want such believers.

Seeing that Li Wei was speaking solemnly, Wang Xiaowei's face immediately turned right: "Yes, I understand, I will definitely explain it to my brothers."

If this is really what the other party wants, then he will naturally do what the other party wants. What he wants is to sell the other party to face and make the relationship between them further, but he does not want to backfire.

After returning to his residence, Li Wei took off the tips on his waist and began to take stock of the legacy of the immortal child. This was his material gain in this battle.

First of all, there are some stones that emit a faint green light as the size of a finger.

Without touching it, Li Wei felt a faint tingling and burning sensation on his skin. It was his body warning him not to get close to these things, because they were evil spirit stones!

At first, Li Wei discovered this kind of thing in the monks who were chasing the heavenly punishment. Then there were Qiu Yan, the evil ghost guards given to Qiu Yan by the Daqingshan Ghost King, and then the Black Fish King and the Unaged Tong.

Except for those monks who probably haven't figured out the purpose of the evil spirit stone at the beginning, every time the evil spirit stone appears, it will not bring any good results.

Although this kind of stone contains extremely rich energy, it also costs a great price to use them, because the old boy uses demon pills as the main material and auxiliary material to create new hooligans. Even Qiu Yan was almost killed by the evil spirit stone.

In addition, there are some alchemy materials, including some human hearts, brains, and some dirty things such as Tian Kui, which are included in many medicinal materials.

Although Li Wei is not very familiar with this, the system introduced it clearly, at least it is all medium and high-level herbs, which are very rare. He plans to keep them first and then hand them over to Yingtian after he goes back.

In addition to swordsmanship and thunder, she also knows how to refine elixirs. The detoxification pill recipe she obtained after killing King Ash Phosphate last time was handed over to her. However, there was no suitable alchemy furnace in the village at that time, nor did she have any materials for alchemy, so she never started work.

But now Li Wei thinks that these are not problems. With his current relationship with Qing Fengzi, let alone buying a elixir furnace, the other party may give it to him directly after hearing this.

The Cangfeng Sect also knows how to refine elixirs. They also gave Li Wei a special Cangfeng Pill, which also played some roles when Dijiexing and Qiuyan were dealing with King Mandrill.

Finally, it is a silver sword with excellent workmanship, more like decorations than weapons, but after seeing all its attributes, Li Wei knew that this was just an illusion.

It is not a decoration, but a practical weapon with great power, but the old boy is definitely unable to exert any of its effects, so it touched it a little.
