Chapter 931 Weird Things

Chapter 931 Weird Things.

There are also underworlds on the outer islands, just like the surrounding counties. Even though this is a marginalized island, it is still a large island with a population of several million. Although the population quality is not very good, the Shintoists who pursue faith will not give up completely.

It’s just that there are limited management personnel now, so we can only stabilize other places in the West Sea first. Of course, the most basic things must be there. The underworld controls the life and death cycle, which is the most effective way to establish faith. How could it be possible to miss this place?

Chen Qing remembered that in order to get people to sign up for the underworld city god here, he gave a lot of discounts. Not only can the term of office be increased, but there can also be more faith power allocated, and the life bonus will be twice as much as other places.

The disadvantages are of course also obvious. In such a ghost place, it is obviously impossible to get involved in cause and effect with some high-quality people. The upper limit is not too high, and it is only suitable for some mediocre people who want to lie flat.

Such people were hard to find in the now vigorous Jiangnan. Chen Qing remembered that it took a full month to find a middle-aged scholar named Gu Qing, whose ability was not weak but whose ambition was not strong.

And because of the long distance, long-distance calls within the Shinto School consume a lot of faith. Generally speaking, they can only come back once every three years like mortal officials to report on their duties. Chen Qing will know if any god in the Shinto School dies, so he never thought that something would happen here.

Facts have proved that something did happen here.

Wei Gongcheng also felt that something was wrong with the underworld here, and his face immediately showed a vigilant look.

"My Lord."

"Well" Chen Qing nodded, signaling Wei Gongcheng not to make a fuss. At this time, the ship they were on was a merchant ship, not a warship. The main reason was that the elite of the Western Navy were all in Yundu, and the soldiers left behind could not even defend the mainland. Chen Qing had time, so he only brought a merchant ship. If there was any force besieging the island at this time, it would actually be very troublesome.

Although this place is his sphere of influence, the actual distance is probably farther than from Jiangnan to Yundu, and there is no support, so it would be quite troublesome to go back.

According to the routine of horror movies, those who are curious and want to go inside at this time often end up tragically, and the anti-routine is to turn around and leave now, but Chen Qing hesitated for a while and still went forward.

There is a reason why he dared to do this, he believes in his own settings.

This world is designed by himself. In the current time period, the power he holds is not invincible, but also at the top. He doesn't believe that a group of Westerners can attack him after coming here for half a year.

With Wei Gongcheng, the two slowly walked into the island with a group of soldiers disguised as caravans.

The island is very primitive, and the docks are very simple. The ecology here is really good. Ordinary fishermen don't need to go out to sea to fish. They can catch a lot of fish around the shallow waters of this island. In addition, the fertile land on the land has no chance to develop into a seafaring force like other island countries.

Along the way, there are only a few local people who fish or collect shells and pearls by the sea.

Most of them are women who cannot do heavy work. On such a resource-rich island, promising men will not make a living by fishing for seafood.

Facing this group of strangers, the women on the island hid far away. Even though there were garrisons here, the people on the island still felt strange about people from the Central Plains.

"My Lord, the people here seem normal." After walking for dozens of miles, even though the land here is vast and sparsely populated, they saw a lot of local people. Those local islanders who looked like Westerners were obviously living well on this fertile land. Except for being a little curious and afraid of them, there was basically nothing abnormal, and it was no different from when they first came here.

"Where is the garrison here?" Chen Qing asked with a frown.

It seems that the underworld was sealed and there was no big noise. Asking these ordinary islanders would definitely be clueless. They could only hope that there were still survivors in the garrison.

"It's over there." Wei Gongcheng pointed to the newly built sentry tower in the distance.

The pure stone and steel building was obviously not something that the indigenous people on this island could do.

Chen Qing suppressed his anxiety and walked slowly towards the location at a normal speed. When he was still a thousand meters away, someone stopped him from a distance: "Who is it?"

The pure Central Plains dialect with the Qi accent made Chen Qing and Wei Gongcheng feel a little relieved. They both felt the familiar fluctuation of the power of faith. It was obviously the Western Navy under Tian Heng.

Chen Qing did not explain, but just showed the power of faith a little. The people above immediately recognized Chen Qing and hurriedly stepped down from the sentry tower. When they were ten meters away from Chen Qing, they bowed: "Master!"

"No need to be polite, let's talk inside." Chen Qing gently lifted his hand, and the invisible force dragged him up.

The structure inside the sentry tower is very good, and there is also ice jade to cool off. To be honest, such a place seems cheap, but in fact it is a very easy job to lie down.

With good subsidies, not much to do, and a good environment every day, Chen Qing even saw several hot white beauties in the sentry tower. Several soldiers who had no time to hide knelt down and apologized, making those women panic.

Chen Qing waved his hand: "Let them go out first, I have something to ask you."

The soldiers breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly sent those women out in a panic.

Wei Gongcheng frowned: "Tian Heng has strict military discipline. The garrisons in the several island countries I have visited are very disciplined. It seems that this place is still too far away and too lax."

"It doesn't matter." Chen Qing didn't care. This place was not a place of importance. The garrison was just a gesture. Besides, those soldiers didn't mess around. What's the big deal about finding a few local women?

In his time, some people who went to North Africa to work found a few black girls locally. Compared with the locals, the soldiers stationed here are strong and have rich wallets. They are the objects of pursuit by many women. It's impossible for them to keep their hormones.

"Master, those women have nothing to do with us." The returning soldier hurriedly explained: "They come to harass us every day. We can't drive away such weak women rudely."

"Okay, the master is not interested in your trivial matters." Wei Gongcheng interrupted them and said directly: "Ask you about business. Has anything abnormal happened on this island in the past six months?"

"Abnormal things?" Several soldiers looked at each other and were a little confused for a while.

What abnormal things can happen on such a deserted island?

Except for the occasional sea monsters, they are bored to death on weekdays. They feel like rich old men who have nothing to do.

Seeing the confused expressions of several people, Chen Qing and Wei Gongcheng frowned immediately. It seems that these soldiers did not notice anything wrong here.

"Is the underworld here running normally?" Wei Gongcheng asked calmly.

"It's normal," said one of the soldiers: "Two months ago, the wizard of the Yiluo tribe passed away and invited us to a banquet. We also chatted with the night wandering god who came to collect souls. There is no problem. Why did the master suddenly ask this?"

"Two months?" Wei Gongcheng was stunned: "Only one person died in these two months?"

I was in Liuzhou, and there were new souls entering the underworld every day. Isn't the workload here too easy?

Several soldiers were stunned. What does this adult mean? Do you think too few people died?

"Sir, this place is vast and sparsely populated. We only station troops around a few large tribes. The distance between each tribe is farther than the distance between our Jiangnan County. Normally, if there is no death in the same tribe, we will not run so far to the next door. As for whether there are deaths in other tribes, we can only ask the garrisons there. On weekdays, we don't see them once a month."

"Is that so?" Chen Qing nodded when he heard it, feeling a little tricky.

The population distribution in this place is too sparse, and coupled with the abundant supplies, there is probably not much intersection between the tribes. It is simply a gift from God, which also leads to very little intersection between the tribes, and the intelligence is probably very loose.

"With such a loose distance, it will be difficult for those wandering gods to work, right?" Chen Qing asked.

"Isn't it? Ahem. Master, you have a good eye." The soldier said hurriedly: "The tribes are too far apart, and the underworld here is seriously understaffed. There is only one day god and one night god, and people often die. They have to search for several days. There is only one city god temple on this island, unlike the big cities in Liuzhou, which can have several underworld exits, causing the two wandering gods to run around almost every day."

"But there seems to be one strange thing."

"Oh?" Chen Qing looked at the hesitant soldier and smiled soothingly: "It's okay, just say whatever you want, even if you say it wrong, it doesn't matter."

"Thank you, Master." The soldier breathed a sigh of relief, but still said: "During this period of time There are several patients who are very strange. "

"Patients?"

"Well, the dying patients, originally, many local witch doctors said that they were hopeless and could prepare for their funeral, but for some reason, those patients just wouldn't die, and they haven't died for a month, which makes the witch doctors feel strange now, because some patients, who are terminally ill, haven't had water for half a month, but they are still alive, which is really strange. We don't understand what's going on, so we can only wait for the parade gods to come and ask, but we don't know how to contact the parade gods, so we can only wait slowly."

"Can't die even if you don't drink water for half a month?" Chen Qing's pupils shrank, and he thought of a possibility: "Take me to see!"
