Chapter 70: The Shaking Water Tank

The Corpse-Driving TaoistChapter 71

There were many fresh horse hoof prints on the ground, as well as some traces of carriages rolling over. Looking at these staggered hoof prints on the ground, there should be a lot of horses coming through, and the wagon wheels rolled over are also very deep, surely the wagon is carrying something very heavy.

Qingfeng Taoist crouched on the ground, the expression on his face swirled down, could it be that the Taiping army had fought over? Or maybe the government people had come? Or perhaps bandits?

Government people over generally will not kill and set fire to, but can not rule out this possibility, if it is the Taiping army or bandits came that is not good to say.

Qingfeng Taoist slowly stood up, looked in the direction of the village, only to see a vague outline, quietly standing there. Yi Zhuang is a very unlucky place for ordinary people, ordinary people would never think of going to that location, it seems that Feng'er should be safe, and Yi Zhuang doesn't look like there is any sign of fire.

Thinking of this, Qingfeng Taoist slightly relieved some, once again put eyes towards the village to see, burning fire at this time is no longer so intense, some places gradually calm down, releasing a thick green smoke, a wind blowing over, choking people simply can not breathe.

First look at the village there are no living people to say it, if there is the first on down again.

Qingfeng Taoist think so, quick step towards the village ran out, even walked several families, found that the home was turned over in a mess, the house or yard respectively, there are a few dead bodies, most of them are hacked to death by a big knife, the knife mouth is very deep.

Seeing such a miserable scene, Qingfeng Taoist Master's face turned more gloomy at this time, stood in place for a while, followed by running towards another courtyard, this courtyard was also turned over in a mess, he looked around before and after, but didn't find any dead people, which was a bit strange, when he was planning to run towards the next courtyard, he inadvertently saw a large water tank in the corner of the courtyard slightly shook a little, so he lightly walked towards that big water tank.

Standing in front of this large water tank, staring at it for a while longer, and realizing that the tank had been swaying slightly, Daoist Master Qingfeng grabbed the lid of the tank and threw it out a long way, shouting, "What kind of person is in there? Come out quickly!"

"Good man spare your life ah …… good man spare your life ah ……," a watery man suddenly stood up from the water tank, his mouth still biting a reed stick, raised his hands, trembling with fright begged for mercy.

Qingfeng Taoist long towards the front of this dripping person looked at, see him is a forty-year-old middle-aged man, a countryside villagers dressed, not like an outlaw, so softly said:This old folks don't be afraid, poor Tao is not an outlaw, passing by this place, see a lot of people died in the village, but also burned a lot of houses, and therefore special to check a bit! ……"

That middle-aged man opened his eyes, see in front of the eyes stood a Taoist look like dressed people, long is a picture of immortal style Taoist appearance, so they put down their hearts, but still fearful and uneasy asked:He …… they are gone?"

"Who is gone?" Qingfeng Taoist priest said suspiciously.

"Bandits ah …… of course it is the bandits of the Black Wind Walled City ……" The middle aged man still couldn't help but be covered in a cold war at the mention of the word bandits.

"Are you saying that a group of bandits just came to your village to rob your house?"
