The arena where Life Soul and the group of monsters were fighting was now filled with thick mist.
The mist was originally lead-grey, but with the constant roars and wailings in the room, the sound of sharp blades cutting bones and bones, and the sound of blood splattering, it gradually began to glow red.
And it becomes more and more intense.
At the end, the mist surging in the doors and windows was like blood-soaked cotton, as if just by stretching out your hand, you could get a handful of blood.
How can we prevent the people watching from outside the house from trembling, fearing, and giving birth to meager hope due to this situation?
Many people knelt down on the spot, praying to their respective gods (harmony), Buddha and ancestors. They prayed that when the fighting subsided and the fog dissipated, it was Daoist Li who came, the one who won was Daoist Li, and the one who survived was himself.
pity.
The blood mist surged suddenly.
There seemed to be a hole at the gate, and mist poured out and quickly spread in the courtyard.
People were already frightened, so they stayed away immediately without being reminded by Feng Chong or Yu Mei.
Until everyone squeezed into a corner with no retreat, the mist finally stagnated and slowly began to settle, turning into traces of blood staining the floor tiles.
It also revealed the figure hidden in the fog.
A man with an ordinary appearance but a calm expression, and the demon guarding him.
Doctor!
Bo Ziyu's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Could it be that Mr. Li Daochang... is wrong!
Bo Ziyu quickly noticed that although the doctor's face was calm, he was in a very miserable state. Not only his clothes were stained with blood, but also there was a dazzling scarlet mass on his shoulders. It was obvious that he had been struck by a sword and had barely avoided the vital point.
The monsters around him were even more miserable. Many of them were missing scales and armor, and had severely broken claws and limbs. All of them had minor or serious injuries.
What's more important is that the fighting and wailing in the main hall are still going on.
The Taoist priest is still alive...
Bo Ziyu just woke up, but he didn't have time to show joy on his face.
next moment.
In the open door, a giant monster with one eye suddenly appeared.
This monster's eyes were not big, just the size of pigeon eggs, but its head was as big as a dustpan. It hurriedly tried to escape from the door, but its head got stuck in the door frame, unable to move forward or retreat. For a moment, tears welled up in its single eye, as if it were like a spring.
There was something extremely terrifying hanging behind him, forcing him to dig in hard, crushing the door frame, scratching his scalp, blood dripping down, and finally got out.
But.
A bronze dagger suddenly appeared from the blood mist, circled around the one-eyed monster, and suddenly disappeared back into the mist.
The joy of escaping and ascending to heaven suddenly froze on the one-eyed demon's face, and then, fine red marks appeared all over its body.
next moment.
puff.
In the blood spatter, the monsters suddenly dispersed into finger-sized pieces of flesh, piled up on the threshold, their muscles pulsing and steaming.
immediately.
The fighting in the house subsided.
A strange wind blew up from nowhere, and the doors and windows were locked one by one. Everyone could only see the blood in the house gradually fading through the window paper, and at the same time heard the sound of "mocking", but blood kept pouring out of the cracks in the doors and windows.
It won't take a moment.
A pool of blood gathered at the feet of the demons.
The minced meat on the threshold had long been washed away, and the blood covered the one eye with clear black and white, and rolled to the doctor's feet.
He leaned over to pick it up, stared at it for a long time, and then...
Phew~
He actually laughed out loud for no reason.
He first raised his sleeves to cover his face and sneered softly, but the laughter grew louder and sharper, and even his sleeves couldn't cover the corners of his cracked mouth.
He then put down his sleeves, bent over, held his belly, and laughed wildly. But even so, he seemed to be unhappy, and simply fell into the blood swamp, laughing wildly and slapping the blood on the ground.
"Hahahahaha..."
Wanton and weird laughter echoed in the yard.
Laughing so hard that the wind howled miserably; laughing so hard that the iron-clad wall of fog blocking out the sun surged, as if it was about to collapse; laughing so hard that the monsters whimpered softly, falling to their knees; laughing so hard that everyone was in panic.
Death is bloodless.
"Is this guy crazy?"
Bo Ziyu wanted to curse loudly, but when he came out of his mouth, he just muttered to himself.
He turned his face away, not knowing whether it was to cover up his momentary cowardice, or because he wanted to find some support (harmony) and comfort from his companions.
He first looked at Feng Chong, the round-faced Taoist priest frowned, and repeatedly chanted "Supreme Taiyi Due Tianzun"; he then looked at Zhang Yi, the knight-errant gripped the handle of the knife tightly, his eyebrows lowered.
, unable to see the expression clearly; he finally looked at Yu Mei...
She stepped forward and stood out from the crowd.
Wearing plain clothes and red skirt, she stands alone between the crowd and the demon.
Bo Ziyu stared at her blankly, her slender back looking particularly thin and fragile compared to the ferocious demon opposite.
He suddenly felt a strong sense of shame, which dispelled the haze in his heart, and then he felt a little proud.
How can a husband let a woman be the only one who is beautiful?
Just drag the knife and stride forward to decide life or death.
But no matter how excited he was, the man in front of him had already stepped into the blood pool and faced the demon head-on.
"I am Yu Mei, the inspector of the Town and Fu Department. I have been ordered by the Emperor to assassinate the demons, ghosts, ghosts, witches, monks and evildoers all over the world. You are spreading demon epidemics, gathering people to cause trouble, and cannibalizing the people. There are mountains of ironclad cases, and the evidence of the crime is conclusive. If you are not going to be arrested without hesitation, what more can you do?
hour?!"
Bo Ziyu's steps faltered and his eyes widened.
Is she crazy too?
…
These words were indeed very convincing, but unfortunately, there was no response, just making the people among themselves look at each other, wondering whether the Yu Chao was frightened by monsters, or relying on the name of Zhenfu Si to exercise authority.
He is used to getting lucky and is a fool who cannot see the situation clearly.
However, this "joke" was not completely useless, at least it succeeded in making the demon leader stop his scary laughter.
The doctor's wild laughter stopped abruptly. He looked at Yu Mei with a strange look, then stood up from the pool of blood, straightened his clothes, and bowed with his hands.
"I couldn't help being happy, but I also felt sad. I lost my composure for a moment and made everyone laugh."
As he spoke, he gently wiped away the tears of laughter from his face, but his hands were clearly stained with blood. The blood and tears mixed with this wipe made his ordinary face look weird and ferocious.
Yu Mei didn't answer, as if she was waiting for him to tie his hands and kneel down to beg for mercy. The others didn't say much, only the doctor continued to speak.
"Capture without mercy?"
He chewed Yu Mei's words with great interest.
"Why?"
"Is it because of your great official authority, Mr. Yu? Is it because of the exhausted mana of Taoist Feng?"
The doctor's playful eyes circulated among the crowd.
Bo Ziyu tried his best to puff up his chest and glared angrily to show his sense of presence. Unfortunately, all his "coquettish looks" were thrown at the blind man. The doctor didn't even glance at him and glanced at him, obviously not seeing him or his subordinates.
The government officials took it seriously.
He just pointed at the main hall where the doors and windows were closed.
"Or should I say, the swordsman in the room?"
The doctor nodded slightly.
"That's right, the man in the house is really powerful. It's ridiculous that I set up a trap and tried so hard, but still let him kill many of my children. If I didn't escape in time..." He played with the eyeballs in his hands, "This bone is broken and the flesh is rotten.
Yes, I’m afraid it’s me.”
"but……"
He paused for a moment, then chewed his eyes and swallowed them, then opened his chest toward the closed door.
"Come! Come out! Kill me!"
The sound echoed and the wind whimpered.
The demons crouched and trembled, but they did not dare to move even half a step under the guidance of the doctor; people looked eagerly, expecting the red and vicious sword light to reappear.
But.
The door remained locked and there was silence, except for the blood slowly seeping out.
a long time.
"look……"
The doctor turned around.
"It turns out he can't get out."
He laughed silently.
He laughed out of people's despair and laughed out of the ecstasy and eagerness of the demons.
"It seems like there's no reason for me to just surrender."
"Oh, yes."
He suddenly pretended to suddenly realize it.
"Is it because of the injuries on my children? Well, yes, they are all covered with injuries. They are really pitiful, but..."
He stroked his hands and chuckled.
"I'll be fine if I eat you!"
This sentence is ordinary, just like an ordinary greeting when a neighbor bumps into you when you go out in the morning, but when it falls in people's ears, it is like a thunder, exploding people's liver and gallbladder, and they are shaking.
Just because this was also an order, the group of demons moved out in horror, bared their teeth and claws, screamed and hissed, and pounced on the crowd, wanting to feast on flesh and blood to relieve the hunger in their bellies and the pain in their bodies.
The crowd had already fled in panic, but they were surrounded by a wall of fog (harmony), so where could they escape?
Zhang Yi silently clenched the long knife, Bo Ziyu's eyes were about to burst, and Feng Chong was pinching his hands, all ready to risk their lives or even die.
However, Yu Mei, who was at the forefront of the crowd and bore the brunt of the attack, did not react at all at this moment. The sword was still firmly inserted in his waist and had not been drawn out.
But the monster had already pounced on her.
One is a monster with a human face and the body of a bird, with tiny mosquitoes gathering in its beak, which is called a mosquito mother; the other is a four-legged snake monster, shaped like a lizard and with a fleshy crown on its head, called a thousand-year-old viper.
The two monsters are friendly and helpful to each other, neither fighting nor grabbing. One goes straight to peck the eyebrow's eye socket to suck the brain water (harmony); the other aims at the slender waist and wants to dig out the liver.
In response, the voice behind the mask was cold.
"Take it."
…
That is a light.
It can't be said to be bright, nor can it be said to be blazing (harmonious).
But in this dim courtyard sealed by a wall of fog (harmony), it was like the first ray of skylight that pierced the chaos when the world opened up, making both humans and monsters unable to take their eyes away.
Next, there was a rotten silver three-headed fork.
It suddenly appeared in the light, and then stabbed quickly, knocking the mosquito mother and the thousand-year-old viper to the ground.
Then, there is the owner of the silver fork, with ape-like arms and a tiger-backed waist, with a figure that looks both real and illusory.
Gold belt, red tassel helmet, green brocade robe, bright light armor.
In the brilliance, the crown and ribbons are flying, and the armor is shining, just like a god descending to earth.
Feng Chong murmured: "Dharma Protector..."
wrong.
He soon discovered,
This general, with an illusory figure and magical weapons descended from the sky, turned his head, revealing a pair of green-faced fangs. Although there are many evil-looking and evil-looking protector gods, this one has an evil aura all over his body.
Feng Chong then realized that he was a rampant general.
The so-called "rampant general" is actually similar to the "protector god". When a Taoist priest accepts the urn, he will allocate soldiers and horses to the upper altar and the lower altar. The soldiers and horses on the upper altar are the heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals. The soldiers and horses on the lower altar are also called the five rampant soldiers and horses, which are Taoist gates.
The surrendered demons and ghosts are called "rampant" because their bad habits are hard to change and they are unruly and untamable.
But, who recruited the soldiers and horses by opening the altar?
Feng Chong recalled how Yu Mei looked confident before.
Could it be that this is Zhenfusi’s helping hand?
The tone in Feng Chong's chest suddenly relaxed, not because he had much confidence in Zhenfusi or the rampant general in front of him, but according to common sense...
If there are arrogant generals, there will naturally be arrogant soldiers.
But when he saw the green-faced and fanged general, he raised his arms and shouted.
There are drums and horns contending between heaven and earth.
On top of the fog wall, countless beams of light burst open in an instant, and countless strange-shaped rampant soldiers jumped out from them.
These rampant soldiers are not very powerful, at least not as powerful as the demons around the doctor.
but.
There are simply too many.
Almost in the blink of an eye, the monsters were overwhelmed by the rampant soldiers, and without a few struggles, they were suppressed to the ground one after another.
The doctor, who was still human, and whether he was a human or a demon, was surrounded by fierce soldiers.
But he still looked calm and calm, which made Feng Chong feel shuddered and became vigilant again, thinking that this guy might have another trick up his sleeve?
The next second.
But I saw the doctor raising his hands neatly.
"I surrender."
…………
Its daybreak.
When the doctor was restrained, the already riddled wall of fog finally collapsed.
At this moment.
After a night of fear, everyone suddenly realized that fish belly white had appeared in the east.
When the sun shines into the courtyard.
The rampant soldiers and generals just disappeared with the light as if they suddenly appeared before.
The hospital was left full of people who had narrowly escaped death, as well as the sealed doctor and his demons.
Yu Mei said nothing and silently walked to the doctor.
Draw your sword and stab.
But a robe suddenly appeared under the sword and blocked him.
Yu Mei's voice was cold.
"He is the culprit."
Feng Chong didn't look at the sword pointed at his chest. He just stared into Yu Mei's eyes and said sternly:
"One-sided words may not be true."
"What's more, how to detoxify the monster plague? How many monsters are lurking in the city? We don't even know. If we kill him, how will we know these things?"
Yu Mei was silent for a while, and finally sheathed the sword.
Feng Chong breathed a sigh of relief and was about to speak again, but Yu Mei turned around, jumped onto the wall, and disappeared.
It left Feng Chong feeling like a lump in his throat. He hummed and held the words in his mouth for a long time before finally turning into a sentence.
"Infinite Heavenly Lord."
Then he turned his attention to the main hall where the doors and windows were closed.
…
Feng Chong and Bo Ziyu carefully opened the door.
Just one glance.
The two immediately ran to the corner.
vomit!
He vomited violently, as if he wanted to turn his stomach pouch out of his mouth.
For a while.
The two of them gathered at the door again and walked into the main hall with pale faces.
Everything in the hall was stained with blood.
When the shoes hit the ground, they sank slightly, and there was a greasy feeling. That was because the ground was covered with a layer of minced meat mixed with blood and water, and from time to time, fragments of bones and organs could be seen floating in it.
Li Changan stood in the blood and flesh pool with his sword in hand.
He remained motionless and silent, like a sculpture covered in blood.
Wait until the two of them are slightly closer.
His eyes suddenly moved.
From the minced meat beneath their feet, bronze daggers circled up, frightening Feng Chong and the two almost to the point of rushing out of the door.
But fortunately, the flying sword didn't fly more than a foot away before it fell down, flopped for a while, and finally sank into the minced meat.
at the same time.
Li Changan also swayed and fell to the ground.
When the two saw each other, they hurried forward.
Feng Chong checked briefly and breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's nothing serious."
"It's just excessive consumption."
At this time.
"Team leader... ugh."
But it was a government servant who barged in the door rashly, and before he could finish his words, he was "driven" out by the scene in the room.
Anyway, Li Changan was fine, and Bo Ziyu took the opportunity to escape. He suspected that if he stayed here any longer, he would have to become a vegetarian for the rest of his life.
After going out, I found the government servant still vomiting in the corner.
"If you can't hold on to such a small scene, what use does the Yamen need from you?"
"That's the class leader, you Ying... ugh."
It's a pity that before the government officer's flattery was finished, the sour water came out first.
Bo Ziyu had no choice but to look grim and pat the yamen servant on the back.
"What's the matter in a hurry?"
After the officer finished vomiting, he wiped his mouth with sour water.
"We bumped into a kid sneaking around at the door, and we suspected he was a spy for the monster!"
Bo Ziyu looked serious.
"Where?!"
The yamen servant quickly picked up a half-grown boy who was struggling wildly from the side.
Bo Ziyu stared at it for a moment.
Isn't this the boy from the Yan family?
…
"What? Amei is also in this house!"
Bo Ziyu's face looked very ugly, and the government officials next to him immediately called out to Qu Lai, saying that they had searched the entire Jin Mansion, so how could there be an extra person?
Bo Ziyu looked at the thin but stubborn-looking boy from the Yan family and believed it. After all, Feng Chong said that the reason why Li Changan was trapped in a dream and couldn't get out was because of an unexpected dream.
But he didn't believe it if the government officials were perfunctory and left out little Amei.
After all, he knows his gang very well. When he searched for the Jin family, he probably scraped the ground and plundered sheep. He would not let go of the copper in the crack of the door, let alone a big living person?
unless……
He looked thoughtfully at the outside of Officer Jin.
After a while.
There is a dry well in the side courtyard.
Bo Ziyu tied a rope and went down to the bottom of the well.
With the help of a torch, I saw that there was something else under the well. A high platform was carved out of the well wall, and an iron door was embedded in the depth.
He just pushed the door open and his breathing became rapid.
silver!
The brilliant white silver was cast into large winter melons, which were piled densely in the stone chamber.
Bo Ziyu swallowed hard, tried to look away, and continued walking forward.
We arrived at the end of the stone room.
But I saw copper coins piled up like a mountain.
A small figure curled up in the "mountain", sleeping soundly.
…………
In a dream.
The moonlight is like blood, bathing the tall buildings.
The strong wind roared, causing the towering buildings to sway.
Li Changan and the girl, however, kept jumping and climbing between the cornices and brackets, as if they were walking on flat ground, and stabbed the demons that caught up one after another under their swords.
But there are too many monsters.
If one is stabbed to death, ten more will come up; if ten are stabbed to death, a hundred will come up... There is no end to the killing, and Li Changan and the girl have no choice but to fight and retreat.
He retreated all the way to the roof of the building, where he pierced the blood-moon sky, and finally there was no way to retreat.
The two of them stood with their backs to each other.
Looking at the monsters climbing up the roof from all directions, the girl looked gloomy.
"Unexpectedly, this heroine is going to die here."
But Li Changan was still calm. He was killing people all the way under the moonlight. Although he didn't have time to figure out what tricks the nightmare was playing, after all, it was just a dream, and his last death should not be a real death.
However, I once heard that someone fell into a dream too deeply and died in the dream, and the soul believed it, so he was really dead. Although this is absurd, but the dream has been manipulated by nightmares, it may not be impossible, so I used
Just in case, please comfort the girl quickly.
"The sword is still in hand, why say 'death'?!"
When the girl heard this, she laughed loudly.
"If you can say this, you are not a vulgar person."
"Good! I can die hand in hand with you, a Taoist priest."
"I am the master of Jietian Tower, the best female swordswoman in the world, and she deserves to die!"
What the hell is this?
Even though his life and soul were not there, Li Changan was still stunned for a while. He thought that calling himself a "female hero" was enough for him, but he didn't expect that there would be someone who could let himself go even more freely.
But the Taoist priest didn't have time to worry about this at this time.
Because there seemed to be a familiar voice ringing in my ears.
…
The girl looked up to the sky and smiled for a while, but found that the Taoist priest did not agree with her.
Looking back.
She found that Li Changan seemed to be listening to something, and looked at her with a strange look, which made her feel scared.
So, I asked with some anxiety:
"What's wrong? There must be some powerful monster."
"fine."
The Taoist priest smiled and made an inexplicable request.
"Turn your head."
ha?
Although the girl didn't know why, since it was said by her recognized partner who would live and die together, she still followed it with doubts.
But he just turned around.
Phew.
A pain in my chest.
A sword tip came out from behind.
…………
Little Amei woke up from her dream.
Her smooth forehead was covered with sweat, and she touched her chest with her little hands, stunned.
The unfamiliar room, unfamiliar faces, and unfamiliar situation in front of her made it difficult for her to extricate herself from the confusion between dreams and reality.
until……
"Taoist priest, you finally woke up!"
A joyful exclamation came from behind his ears.
She turned her head.
He saw Agent Bo, who had been visiting his home frequently recently, helping a pale-faced Taoist in shabby clothes to slowly stand up.
The little guy looked at the Taoist priest blankly.
Then the eye sockets slowly turned red.
Finally, he jumped up, rushed over fiercely, and kicked Li Changan in the calf.
Before the Taoist priest could cry out in pain, he ran out howling first.
