Every heavy breath was filled with a fishy-sweet taste.
He was bruised and bruised, he was exhausted, but the heavy siege by rampant soldiers could not be seen to the end.
With an expressionless face, he pulled out a fang that had pierced his chest and abdomen. It was the final gift of a ruthless general who had taken his true form.
Li Changan threw it at the eye slit of a heavily armored soldier in front. The soldier subconsciously lowered his head to avoid it. The Taoist priest had already taken the opportunity to run into its arms. The tip of the sword penetrated into his heart, biting the armor with a "squeaking" sound.
ring.
Blood spurted out, dyeing the Taoist priest's clothes even brighter red.
at the same time.
An octagonal copper hammer hit his back hard, the armor on his body flickered twice, and the last protective magical weapon shattered silently.
Li Changan used his backhand sword to cut off the attacker's head.
But the rampant soldiers with large shields and heavy armor were already covering more enemies to attack them.
As a last resort.
He had no choice but to use the magic walking instrument to jump high and escape from the siege.
But while he was in mid-air, he heard the sound of a bowstring, and dozens of cold arrows were shot out from the thicket of soldiers.
In normal times, he would have summoned strong winds to roll away the arrows.
But now, under the banner of Dingfeng, it is difficult to prosper at all.
He had no choice but to rely on his superb swordsmanship to block it, but after all, he had been fighting hard for a long time, and his movements were inevitably out of shape. Although he deflected all the arrows aimed at his vital parts, a short arrow still got through the gap and penetrated into the flesh of his thigh.
inside.
The Taoist groaned and fell down like a bird with broken wings.
below.
Densely packed soldiers and generals have already set up a forest of swords and swords, waiting for him to fall into a trap.
The Taoist then bit the tip of his tongue (harmony) and used the last talisman.
Suddenly there was fire, burning up the land beneath his feet.
Landed in embarrassment
But it was too hasty after all.
He slammed himself onto the hard bluestone floor tiles, and most of the breath in his chest was knocked out, but he couldn't care too much and quickly stood up.
Look up.
A hill-like shadow pressed down on him, and above his head, a huge and powerful general smiled ferociously at Li Changan.
Buzz!
This is when Yan Jiang swept the mace in his hand, causing a surge of air.
Whoosh!
The mace swept across the ground, plowing up gravel and scattering it.
The reputation is terrifying and overwhelming.
Li Changan's first reaction was:
hide!
His body reacted instinctively.
But he just took a dodge step.
Not only his leg injuries, but also the weakness caused by the numerous injuries and the exhaustion caused by the hard battle, all held his body firmly in place at this time.
Oh no.
He could only raise the sword horizontally, and he didn't even have time to use skillful strength to relieve the force.
boom!
It's like a heavy hammer beating a drum.
The huge force brought by the mace hit the sword firmly. Amidst the heart-wrenching cry of steel, the sword made of modern metal suddenly bent and hit the Taoist priest's left arm hard.
"Click."
With a crisp cracking sound, Li Changan flew lightly.
This moment.
The Taoist priest didn't even have time to feel the pain. He just felt in a daze that he had turned into a feather or a wisp of catkins. With a gentle wave, he flew up, flying over swords, guns, swords and halberds, and over rampant soldiers.
, flew over the fangs and claws, and then at the moment when he felt pain, he turned into a stone and an earthen pot, and was violently slapped on the stone stairs in front of the temple.
Then it was trapped by inertia, like an innocent yet vicious urchin, and like a poor doll in its hands, it was beaten, rolled, lifted, and dropped. Finally, it got tired of it and was discarded in tatters.
Next to the Cloud Platform.
Li Changan fought hard to reach the Dengyuntai.
But now, it’s here, what’s the use?
His legs were injured and his hands were broken. After the torture just now, all the bones in his body were broken.
The long sword was also bent, but even if it wasn't bent, he didn't have the strength to swing the sword.
The talismans and magic weapons have long been used up, and the magic power has almost dried up. There is no more energy left to stimulate the transformation of magical powers.
It was the flying sword... It flew over in a swirl and landed next to its owner, like a fish that landed on the beach. After a few flutters, it finally made no move.
What kind of threat can such a Li Changan pose?
So when Yu Mei descended from the altar, she didn't rush to take a look at the poor creature covered with dirt and blood under her feet. She even waved her hand to repel a few aggressive soldiers who came up to bite him.
She just looked at the long street, at the crowd, and at the place where Li Changan fought all the way.
The corpse pillow was in a mess and there was a lot of blood.
Youyou sighed.
"Fellow Daoist Li must have guessed the truth about Xiaoshui, right?"
Li Changan's eyes were scattered and he stared at the blue sky in a daze.
"You should have guessed why I want to attack you."
Li Changan tilted his head and let the broken mask slip from his face.
Because Yu Mei talks to himself and rambles on.
"...It's not that I want to harm fellow Taoists, but that Xiaoshui City is the only thing I have left. If anything can't go wrong, I have to do it as a last resort."
"Fellow Taoist, go with peace of mind, poor Taoist will learn on his own..."
Yu Mei's eyes finally lowered, but his words were abrupt.
Because she was surprised to find that at this time, Li Changan's face, which had taken off the mask, had no nose.
The center of the face is smooth without even a hole.
At the same time, there seemed to be a sizzling sound of electricity in the air, and even small, imperceptible electric sparks would burst out in Li Changan's chest. If you listened carefully, you could also hear the faint sound of chanting, as thin as a gnat.
"How can a god not subdue, how dare a ghost dare to charge..."
She followed the sound to find it.
The Dharma platform was lowered, and the Dingfeng flag was also put away.
There was a morning breeze blowing, which opened the Taoist priest's scattered clothes, revealing the little man hidden on his chest.
A villain whose facial features are the same as Li Changan's, but has been shrunk dozens of times.
Nose God Chonglong Jade.
He was sitting upright on Li Changan's chest, with his five hearts facing the sky, solemnly chanting:
"One sniff of the divine tiger will wipe out all ghosts."
Yu Mei hesitated for a moment, and the next moment, the pretentious compassion on her face was suddenly torn away, and her face turned pale, frightened, and ferocious.
Because the sound of this curse is nothing but a call to the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder that reaches up to the nine heavens, descends to the underworld, and drives away all evil spirits.
These days, Yu Mei has been hiding behind the scenes, using Li Changan and monitoring Li Changan.
After Li Changan finally found out where Baihuandie's true identity was, she jumped from behind the scenes to the stage and staged a one-sided show of annihilation and hiding.
so.
Yu Mei knew that Li Changan had the ability to control the wind, so he prepared the Dingfeng flag.
I knew he had a flying sword, so I prepared a silver mesh.
Knowing that he has excellent swordsmanship and the ability to destroy evil, he prepared a heavy armor and a large shield.
Knowing that he had Feng Chong and Yu Mei's magical weapons and talismans in his hands, he prepared a large amount of cannon fodder.
And now, she finally knows that Li Changan still has a trump card in his hand.
A trump card that has never been used in the city for fear of hurting innocent people.
A divine thunder.
Wind, fire and thunder!
"kill him!"
Yu Mei's voice was sharp, and the rampant soldiers and generals around him had already swarmed in. He no longer cared about the heavy armor and shields, the wind-fixing flags, and the silver mesh. They untied the human figures one by one, revealing the true nature of the demon. He used the fastest speed to
He came with the most ferocious attitude and wanted to cut Li Changan into pieces.
But.
Li Changan grinned, his white teeth floating in the red blood. He raised his hand with difficulty and stretched out a trembling middle finger.
And Bishen Chonglongyu had already recited the last sentence.
"I have summoned you now to leave Jiang Palace as soon as possible."
"Hurry as the law dictates!"
…
Li Changan was lying on his back on the stone steps.
In the blurred vision, he saw the ferocious soldiers, Yu Mei with a distorted face, and the hole in the sky above their heads that was suddenly torn open.
Inside were rolling thunder slurries and raging flames.
this moment.
The sky is dark and the earth is dark, and everything is mute.
next moment.
boom!
Divine thunder descends from the sky.
Everything you see before your eyes is blazing lightning; everything you hear in your ears is deafening thunder.
I don’t know how long.
When Li Changan opened his eyes after suffering severe dizziness.
What he saw was a peaceful moonlit sky.
The full moon is like a disk embedded in the sky, and a few thin clouds are lingering like yarn and mist.
You can turn your gaze slightly.
But we can see that in the eastern sky, it is the rising sun and the red clouds.
The sun and the moon, day and night, actually coexist in the same sky at the same time, and their only boundary is a moving line of fire above the clouds.
This situation.
It is as if someone painted two paintings, "Day" and "Night" at the same time, and stacked the two paintings together, but accidentally caught fire. The flames burned through the "Day" on the surface, revealing the "Night" underneath.
He struggled to hold himself up.
It was found that the entire long street had been burned by thunder and fire.
In the distance, there are still residual fires intertwined with white electric light burning ragingly. Through these churning flames, you can see the prosperous and peaceful Xiaoshui City behind the flames, as well as the rampant soldiers standing silently by the fire but not daring to take a step beyond the fire. Will.
Li Changan didn't pay attention to those fish that slipped through the net, because he discovered that after the thunder and fire burned, what was left behind was not ashes, but ruins.
This is not the kind of ruins that are dark, sparkling, and full of scorched smell, but the remains of civilization that have been washed away by time.
The waterways that were once used for boating were filled with algae, and fish could be faintly seen swimming; only the ruins of rows of shops and buildings remained, morning glory and unknown flowers clustered on the weathered low walls, and dense vines Instead of green tiles, a roof was woven into the roof. Underfoot, various weeds grew out of the gaps between the bricks and stones, clumps upon clumps. A slight movement of one's feet attracted a few mosquitoes and scared away a pair of toads. .
At this moment, this situation.
Although everything inside and outside his body hurt, Li Changan couldn't help but want to laugh loudly.
I see.
Sure enough!
No wonder there is war and chaos outside, but Xiaoshui is prosperous and peaceful.
No wonder it’s the turn of summer and autumn outside, but it’s late spring in Xiaoshui.
No wonder Xiaoshui wine is sold well in the north and south, but I have never heard of her name.
No wonder after the Dionysus Festival, when old wine was sold and new wine was first brewed, there were no sails on the river outside the city.
It turns out that all prosperity and peace are fake.
It's an illusion.
It's a mirage.
It is a dream carefully woven by someone.
Just as a person in a dream cannot realize that he is dreaming, he can only remember the absurdity of the dream after waking up.
Now that the illusion of Xiaoshui was burned through by wind, fire and thunder, Li Changan's mind was completely clear.
He took a deep breath, but suddenly frowned.
Just now, what I smelled in my nose was the smell of grass and dew, but now it's mostly the scent of wine that is ubiquitous in Xiaoshui fantasy.
He leaned over and touched the floor tiles again. What he saw was clearly a layer of moss, but what he felt on his skin was the roughness of the stone slabs.
Look up again.
The "moon sky" that represents reality has been invaded by the "day" that represents illusion, until only a small circle remains.
Li Changan understood that this was the residual fire that was slowly extinguishing, and the illusion was gradually recovering.
If I don't want to be trapped in the illusion again and be caught by the remaining five rampant soldiers, I have to...
Li Changan turned around and looked back.
On the long stone steps, at the very center where the thunder and fire descended, Xiaoshui's once most majestic, conspicuous and magnificent building - the Temple of Wine - now only has a few crumbling outer beams and a huge main body.
of underground well.
Li Changan staggered and moved, picking up the flying sword embryo that looked like a dead fish along the way, and his side sword that had been smashed and bent. Step by step, he stepped up the stone steps, climbed to the high platform, and crossed the ruins.
In front of the huge deep well, I looked at Xiaoshui for the last time. The remaining fire was almost invisible. The shadows of the bustling streets gradually overlapped with the cold ruins. There were still a lot of remaining rampant soldiers.
Each one of them showed their true colors, with sharp claws and ferocious faces. They wanted to eat Li Changan alive, but they were stopped by the remaining Martians and could only stare.
Li Changan bowed to them and grinned.
Jump into the underground well.
Jump out of the fantasy world.
…………
Two flowers bloom, one on each side.
Water moon view.
The small courtyard where the solitary grave is located.
The wisteria plant suddenly grows wildly, and the new vines become entangled with each other.
After a while.
Another Yu Mei walked out of the vines.
But she was trembling all over, her face was pale, her eyebrows were straight up and ferocious, like a demon, and she didn't look like her usual normal self.
She gritted her teeth and sounded bitter.
"The Taoist thief is going to break your body into thousands of pieces and your soul will be scattered!"
"Taoist Li's life is not long, so why should a real person get angry?"
Yu Mei was suddenly startled and raised his head suddenly.
But at the courtyard gate, the doctor leaned against the door and smiled.
His eyes were full of expectation, satisfaction, and joy. Looking at her was like looking at a delicious meal that had been planned for a long time.
And around the courtyard, on the walls without murals of rampaging soldiers, there were all the demons escaping from trouble.
