Zhao Mu rode a red horse and shrank into an inch of land to walk towards the capital.
Along the way, demons and evil spirits are everywhere, and there are few living people in the wilderness.
The great disaster of national fortune is about to begin, and the disaster energy between heaven and earth has accumulated to its peak, and the entire Jin Dynasty was in panic.
As early as a few years ago, the Demon-Slaying Division combined the talisman and formations to set up a large city protection formation for all the cities of the Great Jin Dynasty, and then guided the people outside the city to live in the city.
But in the end, there are still people who are unwilling to enter the city for various reasons, just like the owner of the manor who killed the whole family because of the worship of the God of Incense and Fire.
The court needs to take care of most people. For a small number of people who are really unwilling to enter the city, it is impossible for the court to force people into the city.
After all, you are looking for death and you can't always expect others to pull you.
Capital.
A mysterious talisman shines on the city wall, and the power emitted by it blocks the entry of most demons and evil spirits.
Zhao Mu rode a red horse and walked all the way from the official road to the city gate. From time to time, demons appeared and looked at each other.
Behind Zhao Mu, you can still see evil spirits floating around and following, obviously wanting to attack.
But unfortunately, no one dares to really get close to Zhao Mu, no one dares to get close to him.
After all, the aura of the cultivators in the Kuhai Realm is too threatening to these inferior demons and evil spirits.
What's more, the "Big Sun Canglong Temple" practiced by Zhao Mu is a pure and yang immortal martial art, which has an amazing effect on evil paths.
So although those things covet the fresh flesh and blood, they are afraid of death and dare not take further actions.
After a while, the red horse walked under the city wall.
At this moment, a team of cavalry was waiting in front of the city gate.
The cavalry general led by the army shouted loudly: "Open the city gate quickly. We are from Liangzhou City. There is an emergency military report in Liangzhou City."
On the top of the city, a guard poked his head and shouted: "You came here yourself, aren't there any monks following you?"
There are too many demons and evil spirits in the wilderness now. Except for immortals, it is almost impossible for mortals to survive outside.
Therefore, since the city moat formation was built and all the major cities gathered the nearby people into the city, the cities almost became like isolated islands.
The connection between cities almost depends on monks to convey messages.
Even if a soldier is sent to send a message, a monk must follow him, otherwise 99% of them will die in the wilderness and will not be able to reach their destination at all.
Over the years, although the Demon-Slaying Division has developed rapidly and many monks have joined the court, they are still very few of them after all.
Therefore, it is almost impossible to rely on monks and maintain connections between cities at all times.
Everyone can only send monks to convey the message every once in a while, which is a way to confirm that other cities have not been destroyed.
Under such circumstances, the major cities had to fight on their own and were full of vigilance against outsiders, including some messengers and others.
The cavalry general replied loudly: "Of course there are monks following you, but the Taoist priest was on the road. In order to protect us, we lost nearly a hundred people along the way, and then we barely arrived in the capital."
"Is that true?"
The guard on the top of the city pondered for a moment: "Then you throw the token up, and we will open the city gate for you after checking."
"good."
The cavalry general waved his hand suddenly, and a token was thrown onto the top of the city.
The guard took the token and immediately went back to check it out.
It didn't take long before the guard returned to the city: "Okay, we've checked the token, open the city gate now, come in."
The huge city gate was slowly opened, and the general immediately led the soldiers to rush towards the city gate.
It's almost time to enter the city gate.
But suddenly, a dazzling light curtain appeared out of thin air at the city gate. The cavalry passed by the light curtain, and all of them were covered with flames.
"Ah...what is this?"
The cavalry general led by the leader screamed shrillly, and the cavalry behind him fell down one by one, rolling in pain on the ground.
When they saw their faces becoming ferocious one after another, their faces turned gray, their eyes were blood red, and their mouths even grew fangs.
They are all zombies.
At this time, the guard general led a team of people to the city gate and looked at the zombies coldly.
"Damn it, are you lying to me?" the cavalry general roared angrily.
"What did I lie to you?"
The guardian said expressionlessly: "I did promise to open the city gate for you, but I did not say that I would close the city protection formation. Besides, the city protection formation is only useful to demons and evil spirits. If you are humans, you will naturally not be affected at all when you come in.
.”
"Damn it, I won't let you go even if I become a ghost."
The cavalry general screamed hysterically, and then his body turned into ashes in the flames.
The guard shook his head: "It's a pity that you are already ghosts."
Seeing that all the zombies were burned to death, the guards were ready to order people to close the city gate.
But suddenly, a crisp sound of horse hooves came.
I saw a Taoist priest riding a maroon horse and walking into the city gate.
Everyone became nervous and looked at the Taoist priest with caution.
But the Taoist priest was unscathed and easily passed through the city-sharing formation. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this.
"Master, don't know where it comes from?" the guard general asked respectfully.
Nowadays, whenever Taoist monks appear, they will always be looked up to by others. After all, no one can guarantee that this is a master of Taoism!
Zhao Mu took out a token and threw it over: "Is the national teacher in the capital?"
When the guard saw the token, his expression was trembling slightly, and his attitude became even more respectful: "It turned out to be a priest. I reported to you that the national master should be in the palace now. I heard that something happened to Your Majesty there."
"Why, what new tricks have the emperor played?" Zhao Mu asked with a slight brow raised.
The guard smiled bitterly: "The specific situation of this, I don't know much about it."
Although all the emperors of the Great Jin Dynasty had no real power over the years, they could not help but cause trouble, and he still dared not talk about the emperor's right and wrong.
After all, he was not the big shots in the court after all.
"Hey, under the great disaster, the royal family is also unlucky. The robbery has eroded them too seriously."
Zhao Mu shook his head and looked at the ashes of the zombies on the ground: "These cavalry should be really the messengers from Liangzhou City, right?"
"It should be, after all, that token is real."
The guard nodded: "But unfortunately, they should have been attacked on the road, so that the accompanying monks died tragically. These cavalrymen were also transformed into zombies and were instructed by demons to trick them into opening the city gate."
The guard's face was filled with sadness.
After all, no one can protect himself from the great disaster.
The experience of these cavalry may be their future.
So even though I saw through the lies of the zombies just now, the guards didn't feel any complacent in their hearts, and they just felt sad.
