Chapter 158 The Promise with the Demon
The sky gradually became darker, and the gate of Anyang County was about to be closed by the doormen. Some pedestrians who had not entered even screamed in panic. Some people stuffed a few copper plates in, and they were able to suspend the door for a short while.
But soon, the soldiers did not dare to continue. They shouted out loudly in the distance. Some foreigners locked outside the door cried loudly to go in, but the soldiers kept them all outside with a hard heart.
Ning Lang could hear the soldiers shouting at them, blaming the people outside the door for coming here too late.
Ning Lang was also locked outside the door. The wealthy family he followed had already entered Anyang County, but he stayed outside until the city gate was closed.
After knocking for a long time, the people around him didn't open the city gate. They seemed to know that there was no way. They could only sleep outside for a night, so they comforted each other and crouched under the city gate.
Some people took out the dry food and ate it slowly, but it seemed that they were not good at it. More people cried quietly, huddled together and said comforting words.
There were no soldiers guarding the city walls, and it seemed that the soldiers in the county had just closed the city gate.
Several powerful warriors climbed the wall and marched towards the top, and even more powerful was to use their light skills to leap over the city.
There was no problem with these people leaping over, and it seemed that the soldiers inside didn't care about these at all.
Some people also tried to do this, but the walls were very smooth and they could not climb in without enough strength.
No one who had already entered came to help those who were still outside, including just throwing a rope, and the people outside did not scold the people who had just entered, as if they had a tacit understanding between them.
This strange situation surprised Ning Lang a little, so he hesitated for a moment, and his body floated out of thin air and moved towards the city wall. In case he released the [Invisibility Technique] to himself, he would not let the people around him see it.
It went smoothly. Ning Lang came to the wall, and he saw many soldiers squatting here. He looked outside with his eyes tightly. He didn't care about someone coming in, and some even signaled Ning Lang to leave here quickly.
It was only then that Ning Lang realized that his invisibility technique had actually failed!
But seeing that the soldiers around seemed to turn a blind eye to this, Ning Lang understood that this kind of spell should be seen in this world. And it should not be a rare thing.
But Ning Lang was still a little strange. Aren’t these soldiers curious about their clothes? Or have they seen even stranger clothes?
And what is the situation here? Ning Lang also felt that his curiosity was too strong and he had to release some.
So Ning Lang ignored the soldier who asked him to leave. Instead, he squatted down and looked outside along the gaps in the city wall with the soldiers next to him.
"Hey, don't you leave here yet, do you want to break the ban?"
It took less than half a minute for Ning Lang to squat down, and a soldier who looked like a captain came to him and pointed at him and whispered: "There are still a few immortals in the county, don't cause trouble here."
"No, no!"
Ning Lang shook his hand and said with a smile, then pulled the captain and squatted down and asked softly: "I wonder, what's going on here? I've been staying in the mountains and forests with my master, and I haven't come out until now."
“Huh?”
The captain looked at Ning Lang with his eyes flashing, as if he was amazed at Ning Lang's words: "Are you saying true?"
"Of course!"
Ning Lang nodded quickly.
"Good, your master is really an amazing master."
The captain gave a few compliments and said to Ning Lang: "The world is so chaotic now. All kinds of monsters and monsters are rampant. It is incredible to be able to live in the wild for so long. Those old monsters can let you go, your master is definitely a top immortal."
"I don't know either. He just said he was a bad old man."
Ning Lang neither denies nor admits it, and said vaguely: "He is indeed a bad old man. He doesn't tell me anything at all. He threw me out a few days ago. He doesn't know what's wrong with this world."
After Ning Lang finished speaking, he saw the captain in front of him looking at him with amazement, as if he felt something was wrong. Then he immediately thought of the compliment he had just said in his words, for the kind of compliment he could live in the wild, and he understood that what he had just said had made the other party catch some information.
"Fortunately, that old man got into trouble with me for a while, and just left me there, ran away without saying anything."
Ning Lang immediately said, "Fortunately there is a city here, otherwise I wouldn't know how to find a place to sleep."
Hahahahahahaha, the captain continued to talk to Ning Lang.
Before long, the captain suddenly screamed, pointed at a person coming up and shouted: "Put the rope away, are you going to disobey the rules?"
Ning Lang looked in the voice and saw a martial artist who was about thirty years old climbing up desperately, but did not leave by himself like others. Instead, he threw out a ball of hemp rope, hoping that more people below could come up.
"If you want to die, get out and die. Don't want to drag the entire county town to accompany you!"
The captain yelled for a long time and saw that the martial artist was still doing that. Finally, he couldn't help but feel angry. He pulled out his waist and rushed towards the martial artist. The sword light flashed, and the hemp rope was cut off, and a few screams of exclamations came from the bottom. It should be that the person who was coming up with the rope fell down again.
Ning Lang watched all this coldly. The words roared by the soldiers and captain just now solved a mystery in Ning Lang's heart, but more mysteries appeared in his heart again.
The warrior looked at the hemp rope cut off, looked at the captain of the soldiers in grief and anger, screamed hatefully, and then jumped directly on the top of the city and jumped down.
"You go and seek death!"
When the captain of the soldiers saw it, he quickly lay on the wall and shouted at it: "You finally came up, why should you go down!"
But he couldn't get the reply from the martial artist, and the captain of the soldiers could only pat the bricks and sit back next to Ning Lang.
"Why?"
Ning Lang was in a bad mood when he saw this captain, so he comforted him for a few words and pointed to the bottom and asked. Of course, he also used some small spells during this period, but what surprised him was that the effect of the spiritual spell was very low.
This county seems to have a strange force protecting the humans inside, and the effects of spells have been reduced a lot, especially those of the illusion and mind, which have been reduced by 70% to 80%.
But even so, it seemed to have a certain effect. The captain sighed and shook his head, slowly telling Ning Lang the reason for all this.
When Ning Lang knew all this, he felt not anger, but deep sorrow and the powerlessness in his heart.
Decades ago, after the death of Emperor Yulin, the emperor of the Great Yu Dynasty, several people who ascended the throne of the emperor died one after another, and in the end, only children in their teens could sit on it.
Fortunately, this tragedy disappeared not long after, but the chaos in the court government caused by this was inevitable.
The chaos in the court had nothing to do with these ordinary people. After all, everyone who became emperors was still just poor people who contributed taxes.
However, the Dayu Dynasty itself inevitably weakened, which caused a large number of corrupt officials to rampantly and all kinds of farmers who could not survive to go up the mountain, causing social shock.
The most terrible thing is that all kinds of monsters and monsters that had been hidden have suddenly appeared in the world, causing countless tragic events.
With the rampant demons and the forced forces of corrupt officials, the entire Dayu Dynasty reached its most dangerous time.
At this time, a Taoist arrived at the capital of the Dayu Dynasty and killed the demons that caused the throne of the Dayu Dynasty to be chaotic. The short-lived emperors of the Dayu Dynasty all died at its hands, and then called on the Taoist people in the world to kill demons and eliminate demons, and to give a bright world in the world.
The new emperor was also an enterprising person, and he also won many loyal people to open a vocational college. If he continues, he might be able to make the Daya Dynasty burst into a new peak again.
But the good times did not last long. The Taoist, who was named a national sage, finally met the most powerful demon on his way to kill the monster. Shortly after fighting with it, he died of serious injuries.
When this Taoist died, there would be no more cultivators who could fight against the strong among the demons. Seeing that everything was about to be destroyed, the Taoist gave up his life and talked about a condition with the demons.
Fortunately, the demon also respected the Taoist's passion and unexpectedly agreed to the agreement with the Taoist.
Return to humans during the day and to demons at night!
Towns and villages belong to humans, and demons belong to the wilderness!
The invaders will be killed without mercy and cannot be saved!
It means that the land of human beings is always in the daytime, and demons and monsters should not appear at will. Otherwise, if they are killed by humans, they will suffer their own actions. They should not take revenge or rescue them, otherwise they will inevitably suffer revenge.
And when it comes to night, humans have to return to the town, otherwise if they appear in the wild, ghosts can attack you unscrupulously.
It is such a simple thing, but it creates a strange scene.
Humans are basically huddled in towns. They will never go out unless they have to, and they will never dare to kill demons at will. Otherwise, they will cause trouble.
"I see."
Ning Lang thought of the camp he saw last night. Its flames could make the monsters around him unconscious but not kill them. It turned out that it was because he did not dare to kill them, so as not to suffer revenge.
The flames released by those people are probably not just to avoid the arrival of those low-level monsters, but also to declare their existence. There are people behind them, so don't just come to them casually.
And Ning Lang last night...
