Su Anran, suspended in the air, only felt a numb scalp.
At this time, Yunzhou City still had a population of more than 90,000, of which three-quarters were in the north of the city. Although most of the wealthy families in the south of the city had died, there were still side ethnic groups, slaves and some loyal servants and handymen who remained.
There are still quite a few of them, at least close to ten thousand people.
Now, these tens of thousands of people have gathered into a black torrent, rushing towards the north of the city.
Su Anran and Chong Xingzi knew very well that once these tens of thousands of out-of-control parasites rushed into the north of the city, the 80,000 people in the north of the city would really not be spared.
"Master Chong Xingzi, could you please stay in the north of the city and help Miss Qingyu solve the trouble here."
Su Anran glanced at the problems in the north of the city. Now the chaos has just begun to spread. It is estimated that there are only one or two thousand people at most, and it is still within the control range - the north of the city is the slum area of Yunzhou City, where many people gather.
There are a large number of cheap labor and servants engaged in low-level jobs. Although the public security is not much better, it also means that the people here are generally not very strong, and many of them are gangsters and are the type who dare to kill.
These people are not good people, and they will not wait for death.
Chong Xingzi glanced at the fires that had gradually begun to light up in various places in the north of the city. He nodded and said, "Okay! ...What about you?"
"I'm going to the south of the city." Su Anran said, then turned into a sword light and shot through the air.
He didn't summon the little butcher.
Although Qingyu's strength has increased now, she is a Taoist cultivator after all. Su Anran was worried that something might happen if she was attacked and exposed her flaws, so she still let the little butcher stay with her, at least to protect Qingyu.
Soon, Su Anran landed on a street.
Yunzhou City is a large, square city with a shape of "Hui" as a whole.
In the past, Yunzhou City was just a small city. Later, it was expanded due to the capital injection from the Qiyuan family of the Northern Tang Dynasty.
Therefore, the inner city is the palace of the city lord, the barracks and the offices of powerful officials. It has two city gates running along the east-west axis, and divides the north and south areas along this axis - although there is no wall to separate the two sides.
However, the residents of Yunzhou City are still accustomed to using this central axis street that runs through the east and west directions of the inner city to divide the north and south ends.
East Street is a place where residents in the north of the city habitually sell stalls. A small market is formed here. There are two fixed days of large markets every month. Residents from nearby villages and towns come to the market, and occasionally there are some comparisons.
A special treasure appears.
So even at night, the market on East Street is still brightly lit.
The parasites seemed to have some kind of special perception ability. At this time, they swarmed towards the market. In the area closest to the south of the city, fierce fighting had even begun.
When Su Anran landed on the street, she happened to be blocked in front of this group of parasites.
These parasites, which had completely lost their minds, could not detect the dangerous aura emanating from Su Anran, and rushed towards Su Anran with roars.
Looking at these parasites, Su Anran sighed.
Around him, hundreds of sword energies have gathered and taken shape.
The next moment, sword energy burst out of the air.
The parasites that rushed forward were immediately penetrated by the sharp sword energy.
But Su Anran soon discovered that only those parasites with head injuries would die on the spot, but the parasites with damaged bodies, even if their hands and feet were severed, still showed strong aggression.
"Nah..." Su Anran cursed.
The scene before him almost made him think he had traveled to Raccoon City.
"Bai Ye." Su Anran shouted.
Beside him, a figure suddenly appeared.
"Eat them all!" Su Anran asked in a deep voice.
"Impossible, it's too much." Song Baiye shook his head hurriedly, "I'll burst to death!...I still have a lot of undigested food in my stomach, and I can hardly eat anymore."
"You can spit them out after you kill them!" Su Anran cursed Song Baiye for being a dead head. "These people have no value at all, and they are generally weak. Why do you keep them in your stomach?"
"Can this still happen?"
"I asked you to deal with those who escaped from the city before, just to prevent the spread of infection." Su Anran said, but the movements of his hands did not stop. In such a short time, he said hundreds of words
The sword energy shot out of the air, but this time he slightly adjusted the attack angle to ensure that the sword energy could directly crush the heads of these parasites.
Song Baiye took a deep breath.
The next moment, his whole body melted completely and turned into a pool of black water-like substance, which began to surge forward quickly.
As the black liquid turned into by Song Baiye flowed forward, the momentum began to gradually increase.
In an instant, it turned into a black wave like a tsunami.
If they could still preserve their intelligence, then these parasites would choose to avoid it as soon as possible. After all, this black wave is obviously not a fun thing no matter how you look at it. But it is a pity that these parasites are completely out of control at this time, and there is no way at all.
Knowing fear, they naturally don't know how to avoid or dodge, so they began to rush into this black wave one after another like people seeking death.
Then?
There is no more.
Everything swept by the black wave, whether active or passive, has completely disappeared at this time.
It even includes things set up at the market stalls, residents who may not have died, etc...
Everything ceased to exist after being swept by the black wave.
Su Anran didn't know how Song Baiye managed to "eat" and "vomit" at the same time, but in short, the source of the trouble from the south side of Yunzhou City was temporarily solved - thanks to the strength of these people.
No, that's why Song Baiye was able to swallow so many people at once. If he met a powerful land immortal like Su Anran or Song Nana, Song Baiye wouldn't dare to swallow him.
He has never forgotten the terrifying experience of being pushed to the ground and rubbed by Song Nana.
"boom--"
A sudden explosion sounded instantly.
Su Anran looked back and discovered that the explosion was actually from the inner city.
The next moment, Su Anran immediately rose into the air and quickly flew towards the inner city.
A black smoke has slowly risen.
That is the direction of the City Lord's Mansion!
The turmoil in the past few days has involved too much energy in the entire Yunzhou City, and even the people's hearts have been completely confused, so that the guard force in the inner city has been weakened a lot - the lord of Yunzhou City has long been lost.
In control of the entire Yunzhou City, there are currently less than a hundred guards left in the inner city. If Su Anran had not ordered Song Baiye to guard the entire Yunzhou City, those who tried to escape from Yunzhou City would have fled long ago.
But even so, the city lord of Yunzhou City is still a symbol.
So Su Anran immediately rushed towards the city lord's mansion.
The chaos in the north of the city is still there, but with Chong Xingzi and his three disciples as well as Qingyu and the little butcher there, Su Anran is actually not worried. As for the south of the city, there are sporadic parasites that have broken into the north of the city through West Street.
But this is inevitable. After all, Song Baiye has now focused his main energy on the market on East Street. It is naturally difficult to take care of both sides at the same time.
But before Su Anran arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, he had already overlooked a team of about ten people escaping from the side door of the City Lord's Mansion.
One of them, whom Su Anran had met several times, was the second son of the lord of Yunzhou City.
Immediately, Su Anran fell immediately.
"Master Su!"
He was startled by the figure of Su Anran falling from the sky, but when he saw that the figure was Su An, the second son of the city lord hurriedly spoke: "Please Mr. Su, please save my father and eldest brother!"
"What happened?" Su Anran asked hurriedly.
"Sir, save my father!" The person who answered faster than the second son of the city lord was a little girl about twelve or three years old.
The other party immediately jumped out of the crowd and rushed towards Su Anran, grabbing Su Anran's robe desperately, with tears in his eyes.
Su Anran glanced at the little girl with shock in her eyes.
Although he does not know the methods of checking talents such as looking at the bones and looking at the bones like the monks in the Tianyuan Secret Realm, the Xuan Realm also has some methods to identify the talents of the bones.
As for the little girl in front of me, she can almost be said to be naturally charming, and she has a very strong sinister aura about her.
People with this kind of aura are naturally suitable for practicing any Yin skills, and will never encounter any bottlenecks. But compared with her natural charm, this kind of qualification is much inferior, so much so that Su Anran even
It is suspected that the person in front of me is a little fox from the Qingqiu clan who has the orthodox bloodline of the Great Sage Qingjue.
"Save my dad! Sir!" The little girl knelt down and kowtowed to Su Anran immediately, "I kowtow to you! Sir! I kowtow to you!"
"Bang bang bang——"
After just three clicks, the little girl's forehead began to bleed.
Su Anran hurriedly stopped her, pulled her up, and turned to look at the second son of the city lord: "What on earth is going on?"
"Just a quarter of an hour ago, she ran to the city lord's mansion to ask for help, saying that her father suddenly went crazy a few days ago and killed her master." The second son of the city lord said hurriedly, "But we haven't figured out the specific thing yet. She
Dad is coming to kill me!...My dad and eldest brother are blocking it, but they can’t stop it anymore. Mr. Su, please save my dad quickly!"
Just as Su Anran was about to speak, she felt a strong smell suddenly hit her.
Dang even protected the little girl and the second son of the city lord behind him.
"Bang--"
There was a dull explosion, and he was suddenly startled.
A stream of air exploded about a foot away in front of Su Anran, and several guards who came a little closer, their bodies immediately split into four and five parts.
"The gentleman you are begging for cannot be saved." A middle-aged man with a sickly pale complexion slowly walked out of the shadows.
Su Anran's pupils shrank.
This is the alleyway to the side entrance of the City Lord's Mansion. Although the terrain is not spacious enough, it is not blocked by shadows, especially since the moon is still shining brightly in the sky.
So there is no doubt that the shadow is not a product of nature.
"Daddy!"
Su Anran felt that the little girl holding her left hand suddenly began to struggle, trying to break free from Su Anran's hand.
"He is no longer your father." Su Anran said in a deep voice.
"No, you lied! You lied!" The little girl's struggle began to become more intense.
"Yes, good daughter, he is lying. I am your father, come here quickly."
The middle-aged man looked sideways at the little girl, but as the shadow faded and the moonlight shone, the ferocious smile on the middle-aged man's face was clearly exposed to everyone, especially his bloody appearance.
It even made his aura become quite evil and terrifying.
"Daddy..." The little girl's struggle suddenly stopped. She was obviously frightened by the appearance of the man in front of her. "You are my...daddy, right?"
"Yes." The middle-aged man nodded, "Come here quickly. Daddy will take you to meet your ancestors. Your ancestors will definitely like you."
Su Anran's expression suddenly changed, and she hurriedly handed the little girl to the second son of the city lord, and shouted in a deep voice: "Take her first! Go outside and call Song Baiye, tell him that I will ask him to take you back to Qingyu as soon as possible."
The second son of the city lord has never seen Mr. Su in front of him with such a solemn expression.
When he suddenly saw her, he realized the problem and immediately picked up the little girl, then turned around and ran away, followed immediately by several guards.
But at this time, the little girl didn't know what stimulation she received, and suddenly she started struggling fiercely again. Seeing that she was getting farther and farther away from her father, she even opened her mouth and bit the second son of the city lord: "Let me go quickly."
!Let me go! I want my dad! Daddy, daddy..."
In the little girl's eyes, she could see the love shown by her father under his face stained red with blood.
This made her struggle become more intense.
But the second son of the city lord obviously knew that the matter at hand was very important, so he did not dare to let go of the little girl even if she was bitten painfully.
The shadow suddenly fell again.
But Su Anran was motionless, but a series of sonic booms were heard in the air.
The sudden burst of dozens of invisible sword energy blocked the spread of the shadow and stopped the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man turned his head, and his originally ferocious smile became serious.
It seemed that at this moment, he truly regarded Su Anran as his opponent.
Su Anran looked indifferent: "You are the source of parasite infection in Yunzhou City, right?"
"Were you the one who killed the iron-eating beast and the poisonous lady?" The middle-aged man also said in a deep voice, "Oh, I told them a long time ago not to mess around, but it's a pity that these two people couldn't listen to the advice and insisted on going their own way.
, it’s a waste of our ancestors’ cultivation.”
"You are indeed a special species."
The middle-aged man laughed: "Special species? It sounds much better than the alien species we took ourselves."
"Alien..." Su Anran instantly understood the meaning of these two words, "How many others are like you in Yunzhou City?"
"Actually, it doesn't matter if I tell you, the plan has failed anyway." The middle-aged man chuckled, "No more, I will be the last mutant... Do you think it is easy for our ancestors to cultivate us? A mutant like me.
Not everyone can bear spider eggs, and only people with very special physiques can be vaccinated."
"Special physique..." Su Anran snorted coldly, "No wonder you want to arrest that girl."
He didn't think that the man in front of him could really be his father.
Perhaps, it once was.
But from the moment he became a parasite, he was no longer the father of the little girl.
"Alas, fate plays tricks on people." The middle-aged man sighed, "When the poisonous lady wanted to parasitize the last alien spider egg into the body of a Taoist, I stopped it. Unfortunately, the iron-eating beast also agreed to this plan. As a result,
But it has attracted you giant Buddhas. If they are willing to listen to my opinion, just wait for five more days. Not only will the alien spider egg not be wasted, but you will not be provoked either."
Having said this, the middle-aged man also showed a rather helpless look on his face: "Maybe this is God's will... Otherwise, when I killed the woman in Linglong Pavilion, I wouldn't have been seen by that child. If I hadn't been seen by that child,
If the child sees it, tonight when I sense the death of the Iron-Eating Beast and the Poisonous Lady, I will not lose my mind and give the child a chance to escape."
As the middle-aged man's words fell, everything that happened in Yunzhou City in the past few days was instantly connected by Su Anran.
a few days ago.
They brought Taoist Yunming to Yunzhou City, and then passed Nan Fengqing's message, established a relationship with the Qiyuan family, and moved into the Qiyuan family's merchant residence.
At that moment, Lady Poison, who had been lurking in the station for a long time, noticed the special constitution of Taoist Yunming, so she parasitized the last alien spider egg into Taoist Yunming's body. Then came the arrival of Chong Xingzi and others.
, Poison Lady and others may be worried that Taoist Yunming's parasitism will be discovered, so they simply let him attack first, then escape from the station, relying on their own special abilities to hide and lurk.
But they didn't expect that because they were self-defeating, Su Anran discovered the heresy in Yunzhou City, so they sealed off the entire Yunzhou City.
These heterogeneous parasites, who had escaped without forgetting, simply chose to kill people and silence them, destroying the corpses and eradicating traces. Unfortunately, they were broken up by Su Anran, and that's what happened tonight.
The root cause of all this is that Su Anran was unhappy with Taoist Yunming and allowed him to be attacked by a first-generation parasite, which triggered all this. And if Su Anran had rescued Taoist Yunming at that time, then they would not have
Will be injured
Taoist Yunming comes to Yunzhou City, and in a few days, the parasite in front of him will find that the little girl just now has a very special physique, and then their only remaining alien spider egg will be parasitized to
inside the little girl's body.
But now.
Because of the insistence of the other two parasites, the little girl escaped, and because of Su Anran's measures to close the city, these parasites could not escape Yunzhou City. This is why the little girl could
There is no cause of infection and parasitism in my life till now.
At this moment, Su Anran felt a sense of enlightenment in her heart.
It turns out that this is cause and effect.
The cause and effect between him and the Soul-Splitting Mountain Spider.
This sense of enlightenment made Su Anran feel a sudden sense of relief all over his body, as if the shackles that had been binding him had suddenly been taken off.
At this moment, Su Anran knew that he had already stepped half into the sea of suffering.
As long as he is willing, he can now officially advance to the sea of suffering realm.
However, this way he can no longer stay in the Tianyuan Secret Realm. And because the matter of the Soul-Splitting Demonic Mountain Spider has not been completely resolved, if he really steps into the Sea of Bitter Realm now, he will probably not be able to do so in the end.
the other side.
So Su Anran quickly calmed down her emotions.
But the various gains here still make Su Anran feel extremely satisfied, because he has understood what the so-called sea of suffering, the so-called cause and effect is all about - the so-called sea of suffering, the so-called cutting off the world of cause and effect, and
It is not really about abandoning the secular world and becoming a heartless, sexless and desireless person, but it is about cultivating monks to understand the implications of "cause" and "result" and to understand clearly what the word "destiny" is.
If you want to reach the other shore, you must cross the sea of suffering.
And this sea of suffering actually refers to "the fate imposed on one's body by the law of heaven."
Therefore, the so-called crossing the sea of suffering is to get rid of the fate and influence imposed by heaven on oneself.
At this moment, Su Anran finally understood why the sages in the other side realm could not be guessed by the heavens, because they themselves were the Tao!
"That's it." Su Anran laughed, "To thank you, I decided to let you go without pain."
