"Old Road."

"When you were with them just now."

"Did they mention that they saw those strange corpses in the alley and how they killed people?"

This problem has troubled Jin An for a long time.

The old Taoist shook his head.

"I asked the old man, but there was chaos at the time, everyone was running for their lives, and no one noticed how those motionless evil corpses killed people."

Jin An pondered.

Did not continue to ask the old Taoist priest.

Perhaps it was because Jin An had entered the alley by himself just now and came out unharmed. At this time, Jin An, who was carrying a long knife, was considered by these fleeing ordinary people to be a martial arts master...

Or maybe it's because the old Taoist priest is dressed in Taoist robes, giving people the image of a master of the Tao, a master of the outside world...

When this group of Changxian people who were also fleeing, saw Jin An and the old Taoist continue on the road, they hesitated for a while, but they all followed, tremblingly behind the two of them.

Long before, when the old Taoist priest was reassuring them, these people already knew that Jin'an and the old Taoist priest were running out of the city, and they were also planning to flee for their lives outside the city.

They were all ordinary people living in that alley, but there was a monster hidden in the alley, which led to the previous scene.

And the middle-aged woman who cried bitterly while hugging her child, although she has just experienced the pain of bereavement and has not yet come out of the grief, but she looked at the crying child in her arms, this woman learned to be in love with the child. Before holding back the tears and inner grief, she wiped away the tears on her own face and the tears on the child's face, and gently comforted the child to be strong. The youngest son, the only relative left, followed the procession out of the city with his back much older overnight.

Females are weak, but mothers are strong.

……

The chaos in Chang County under the night is still going on.

Crying and wailing were everywhere, and from time to time people could hear the desperate screams of people dying. Panic had spread throughout the city, and everyone's hearts were shrouded in layers of thick haze.

Just like the raging fire that shrouded the sky of Chang County, not only did it not go out, but it burned more and more violently. Even though it was night, it was burned as bright as day by the fire.

You should feel the scorching heat brought by the heat wave from a long distance, and your lips are chapped.

Chang County is completely over.

The spread of the fire has been completely unstoppable.

Everywhere, people dragged their families and fled out of the city with their bags on their backs. Some people left the city in ox carts, some rode out of the city on horseback, and some country gentry dragged a dozen female relatives and family members out of the city.

There are also businessmen who regard wealth as their life, and they can't give up the family business that they have worked hard for most of their lives. Therefore, the chamber of commerce formed a long horse-drawn carriage team out of the city, and those carriages were filled with all the belongings of these merchants.

These businessmen are most likely to be targeted by some vicious murderers.

However, these smart businessmen who know how to hold a group are vigilant all the way and refuse strangers to approach, so that the murderers who want to take advantage of the fire have no chance.

So those people began to focus on ordinary people and small businessmen who were alone.

Jin'an walked along the road, and saw many robbed and murdered corpses on the side of the road. These people fell in a pool of blood, and their death conditions were horrible.

Some had their skulls smashed into pieces by knives and axes, and their brains shattered all over the place.

Some passers-by met on the road stabbed a knife from the back and pierced the heart viciously when they saw Cai.

There are women who are not well dressed...

Today, when the imperial court's laws and regulations have collapsed and there is no government law and order, many people in Chang County have started to go crazy. Some died at the hands of evil spirits, while others died at the hands of their own people.

The war is in chaos, and the world is suffering.

At this time, the team behind Jin An and the old Taoist priest has expanded a lot.

There are already fifty or sixty people.

Maybe people have a herd mentality, or maybe it's because the combination of Jin'an and the old Taoist priests can easily give people a sense of security. Along the way, many people have joined this fleeing team.

Most of these people are honest ordinary people.

People like those from the martial arts world, those who are reckless in the world, or merchants who have their own guards, on the contrary, disdain this fleeing team composed of mobs.

Jin An and the old Taoist priest walked ahead.

Naturally, they also noticed the fleeing team that was snowballing behind them.

They did not choose to take the initiative to accept these people. Some people were exhausted and fell behind and did not take the initiative to stop and wait for others, nor did they take the initiative to drive away the people behind them. There is a tacit understanding, and they concentrate on driving ahead.

At this time, Jin An and the old Taoist priest walked to a square market.

Standing in front of this square city, the wall stacks of the East City Gate can already be seen indistinctly.

You will be able to reach the east gate and leave the city soon.

But Jin An suddenly stopped in front of the archway at the entrance of Fangshi, and even the ordinary people who followed Jin An stopped in panic.

"Little brother, there's something wrong with this city. It's too quiet. The whole Chang County is in chaos. People are killing people and setting fires everywhere, but it hasn't been destroyed. And it looks like there is no one there. None of the lamps are lit, it's pitch black... This pool of water is so cold!"

The old Taoist said solemnly.

Indeed, as the old Taoist said, this city is too peaceful.

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.

"Ok?"

Jin An's keen five senses after practicing martial arts, he sensed that there were eyes quietly spying on him, so he turned his head to look.

It was found that the gaze came from the second floor of an inn near the entrance of Fangshi.

On the second floor of the inn, a window was quietly opened a small crack at this time, and someone was quietly peeking out from behind the dark window.

The other party noticed Jin An's gaze, and hurriedly hid behind the window in fright, and hurriedly closed the window.

Jin An frowned.

But the window on the second floor of the inn opened a small gap immediately, and the person behind the window threw out something.

"what?"

"Little brother, it seems that something was thrown out of that inn. There are people in that inn."

The old Taoist said in surprise.

The old Taoist priest holding a torch quickly found the thing thrown out of the inn, which turned out to be a ball of paper.

When the ball of paper was spread out, the ink on the ball of paper was still wet, and there were just a few lines of words that had just been scribbled.

there are monsters
leave quietly
don't make a sound
don't come in
Looking at the words on the note, the old Taoist was surprised again, and subconsciously asked Jin An in a low voice: "Little brother, the benefactor in the inn who kindly reminded us may have also encountered those evil corpses we met before?" Bar?"

After the old Taoist finished speaking, he asked Jin An for his opinion, should he take a detour?
While the old Taoist was speaking, he subconsciously glanced at the dozens of exhausted people who had followed them all the way.

Jin An also glanced at the team behind him.

"This market is the only way for us to go to the east gate. If we take a detour again, we need to make a long detour, and no one can guarantee that other markets must be safe."

Jin An said thoughtfully: "Well, old man, you stay here and wait for me first, I'll explore the situation in this city first, and we'll talk about everything after I come back."

The old Taoist looked at Jin An worriedly. Jin An said it was all right, and instead of picking up the torch handed over by the old Taoist, he asked the old Taoist to protect himself and the goat and be vigilant.

Next.

Holding the Tiger Saber in his hand, Jin An began to step into Fangshi.

Jin An didn't hide it, he walked straight into the market, and when he had just walked two or three feet away, he was so excited!

The dense evil prying eyes.

From the castles and pavilions of the square city, maliciously spy on him.

……

Chen Gui was a squire in Chang County. In his early years, he was also an official in Chang County. After retiring, he became a small land rich man and married several beautiful concubines. He enjoyed life.He even gathered in Lefeng Tower with Mr. Jin'an and County Magistrate Zhang tonight, and he brought a young singer back to the mansion with a soft waist and boneless limbs, ready to slowly appreciate the "embroidered clothes in the late spring, woven with gold and peacock silver" Kirin's Yaxing.

Who would have thought that all these beautiful lives would change overnight, he was the first to escape from the inner city because he saw the opportunity early.

But after arriving at the east gate, seeing that it was only a hundred feet away from the city gate, it seemed as far away as the sky. Chen Gui and his family members hid in a private house hundreds of feet away from the east gate, staring at it secretly with fear and anxiety in their eyes. The huge black shadow outside the east gate is depressing and desperate to the point of suffocation.

That is a desperate black shadow like Montenegro!

Chen Gui asked a servant to continue staring at the black shadow like a black mountain, and then quietly climbed down from the bamboo ladder on the courtyard wall with his legs weak.

Next, Chen Gui summoned all his servants, and began to frown and think of a way, what should he do next to escape from the city?
Everyone knows that Chang County is over tonight.

If you don't run away, even if you don't get burned to death by the burning fire, you will still be killed by those strange corpses that are everywhere.

Thinking of that kind of unheard-of horror, absurd and strange corpse, the people who were already panicked were shrouded in a haze of despair.

"Patriarch Chen, why don't we wait until dawn?"

"If after dawn, those... corpses blocking the east gate are still there, can we try to escape from the city through other gates?"

"And during the day, the field of view is wider, and it is more convenient for us to detect danger in time, and it is more convenient for us to transfer so many people..."

A servant suggested.

Seeing that no one else could come up with a better solution, Chen Gui could only accept this proposal, but his eyes were still full of worries. Tonight is still very long, and there are too many variables... I am afraid that they will not be able to make it. daytime……

Just when Chen Gui was worried, a servant suddenly noticed something unusual. A large group of people hiding in the yard hurriedly pulled out their weapons, but they saw that it was a servant they had sent out to investigate the surrounding terrain in order to prepare the retreat in advance. Bring back two burly men.

Those two burly and powerful men with sharp knives around their waists and a fierce aura look like people from the Jianghu who have been licking blood with knives all year round, and they are by no means good stubble.

After a brief meeting, Chen Gui soon knew the intention of the other party.

These two big men, one named Ma Chen and the other named Han Jin, were masters of the largest local tea merchant association in Chang County.

They, a group of brothers, escorted the merchants and their families in the chamber of commerce. When they arrived near the east gate, they also found the huge black shadow like a black mountain blocking the east gate.

Just as they retreated quietly, they happened to meet the famous servant Ding, so Ma Chen and Han Jin came over to share some information in person.

Chen Gui is not a stupid person. He also knows that only the cooperation of all will can escape Chang County, so he immediately shared everything he knew.

Just when the two parties tried their best to control the movement and lower their voices to communicate, suddenly!
Boom!

Boom!

boom! boom! boom!
Explosions came from around one after another, like the ground falling and the ground cracking, dust flying in the sky, continuous, the three people were horrified to find that the explosion came from a city behind them.

The three of them hastily climbed up the bamboo ladder on the wall of the courtyard, but all three of them saw with disbelief that the city was filled with dust and explosions.

Buildings exploded one after another, brick walls collapsed, and earth and wood splashed everywhere. The scene was like a disaster, and even several buildings collapsed directly with a bang, shocking the mind.

The three of them stared dumbfounded.

"What exactly is going on!"

"What happened in that square city?"

"Could it be those absurd corpses we saw along the way, wreaking havoc in the city, looking for living people?"

Immediately afterwards, the three of them were horrified to see that the Fangshi explosion was actually approaching them, because the pavilions along the way of Fangshi were exploding and collapsing in pieces, and finally, in the dust that filled the sky like an earth dragon, a figure with a knife appeared , slowly walking out from the dust all over the sky.

"A man?"

The three looked shocked.

Is this a human or a monster? Almost half of the buildings in Fangshi have been reduced to ruins in his hands alone. He is as powerful as a dragon and elephant, fierce and violent, rushing straight to kill, as if entering the land of no one.

"This person is definitely a martial arts master who specializes in kung fu. Even if my two brothers join forces, they are no match for him!"

"This person can only be friends, not enemies!"

Ma Chen and Han Jin, who have always had high self-esteem, looked at each other with apprehension, but unfortunately they were far away, and the night was so dark that they couldn't see each other's face clearly. Which master in Chang County is suitable for the person in front of him.

"I don't know if this person is a human, or..."

The two of them hadn't finished speaking, and then they were dumbfounded to see that, following the mysterious master with a knife, not long after he walked out of the market, another old Taoist priest in Taoist robes followed him out of the market.

And behind the old Taoist priest, he was leading a goat.

When they saw the fat and strong body of the goat, both of them couldn't help gasping, and they were even more shocked and inexplicable.

"Is there such a big sheep in this world?"

"Could it be a cow that looks like a sheep?"

The two felt that the shock tonight was too much, too much.

Um?The two suddenly stared at each other.

Following the cow that looked like a sheep, they actually saw more people from Chang County coming out.

Those people in Chang County were just ordinary people. They walked out of the city tremblingly with their families and families... One person, two people, three people... There was a team of fifty or sixty.

They even saw that a commoner who had been hiding in the pavilions, shops, restaurants, and inns of Fangshi also walked out of the building where he was hiding and joined the team, which soon expanded to a fleeing team of a hundred people.

"There are so many people, and there is such a commotion, these people must be dead!"

"Although that mysterious master has strong martial arts skills, in the face of those absurd corpses that have never been heard before, after all, manpower cannot defeat ghosts and gods, especially the evil corpse blocking the east gate is still unique..."

however!
Before the two of them finished speaking, their mouths opened wide in shock, and they didn't come back to their senses for a long time.

In the light of the raging flames in Chang County, a huge mountain of corpses stood impressively at the east gate. It was like a black mountain blocking the east gate of the hope of escaping from Chang County.

There are densely twisted hands and feet and twisted faces. At a glance, there are no fewer than two or three hundred dead faces.

Among them, most of the dead people had blood stains on their clothes. These people were supposed to be the people of Chang County who wanted to escape from the east gate, but they all died tragically of evil spirits, and the scale of the strange corpses increased.

From the first twenty or thirty entangled monster corpses, they swallowed and entangled hundreds of people, and grew into this terrifying and frightening huge mountain of corpses in front of them.

Among the newly devoured living people, there were ordinary people, servants of the rich Jia's family, guards, and reckless masters, but without exception, they all died.

They all died in Xieyi's hands.

That's why they're collectively trapped here.

But now what do they see...

Even if they saw it with their own eyes, they still couldn't believe it!

The fleeing team they were not optimistic about, under the leadership of the mysterious master with a knife, left the city safe and sound.

The black mountain of strange corpses with hundreds of people densely packed with dead faces remained motionless, as if... they hadn't found those people?

……

East Gate of Chang County.

The people in Chang County who finally escaped from the sky cheered for the rest of their lives, but soon these people began to cry in sorrow.

Some of them had just been through bereavement.

Some people have just survived the tragic experience of being burned, killed and looted.

Some people still have three generations under the same roof during the day, but their families are ruined overnight, leaving them alone.

Jin An didn't expect that he escaped from Chang County, which had turned into a devil's lair, so smoothly. He couldn't help but wonder, could this be a definite plan?

If he chooses forbearance that has nothing to do with himself, does not kill the Yin Assassin and Monk Pu Zhi, and does not resolve part of the Yin coin crisis, he will not have enough Yin virtue to seal the Five Lightning Slaying Evil Talisman three times...

If there is no support for Man Mo Temple, he would not hesitate to spend [-] Yinde to seal the Five Lightning Slashing Evil Talisman three times, successfully assist the white coffin female corpse and Mr. Yiyun to launch a counterattack, and successfully delay Qingqianliu, perhaps it is unknown whether he can escape from the city tonight ...

And if he didn't have the Five Thunder Slaying Evil Talisman sealed three times, even if he fled to the city gate, he would be trapped to death in Chang County, and finally Chang County became a cage of flesh and blood, trapping everyone to death...

"Although man-made good fortune has not reached disaster, it is far away, and man-made evil disaster has been far away even though it has not reached happiness..." Jin'an once again deeply realized this sentence.

Just when Jin An understood those words, suddenly, the familiar sense of Dao came again. It turned out that it was a woman holding a child, kneeling in front of Jin An and bowing in gratitude.

This pair of mother and son was exactly the one that Jin An rescued from the alley.

But Jin'an was not delighted by gaining Yinde, instead he rushed to help the mother and child in a hurry.

But just as Jin'an was in a hurry to help the mother and son, those people who were rescued by Jin'an from Chang County also knelt down and worshiped Jin'an.

"Thank you, Mr. Jin'an, for saving your life today."

"Young Master Jin'an's great kindness and virtue, I, Wang Yong, will never forget it."

"My old Yangtou also thank Mr. Jin'an for saving his life."

……

Although the voices of these people are not uniform, they shout everything, and their voices are messy, but they are all sincerely grateful for Jin An's life-saving grace. At this moment, all of them have evil virtues, and Jin An hurriedly helped these kneeling people The common people didn't pay any attention to Yin De... The old Taoist priest smiled and looked at Jin An who was in a panic.

"Little brother's kind deeds today, maybe in the future he will become a golden body."

The old Taoist smiled at the goat and said.

BAA Baa baa--

The Taoist priest and the sheep talk to each other, and they answer each other. It is not known whether they can understand each other's words.

After Jin An managed to help everyone up, he persuaded them to flee for their lives, the farther away from Chang County the better, but he didn't intend to leave immediately.

If you leave, you must leave Chang County.

but not now.

Jin An remembered that before he left the city, he sensed the peeping eyes of several people in a private house.

As the saying goes, save people to the end and send Buddha to the west.

Saving one person is saving, saving ten people is saving, and saving 100 people is also saving. I love to help others, and helping others makes me happy. How can we discuss vulgar things such as whether there is yin virtue or not!
"Old Daoist, take this stupid sheep first and wait for me in Xiba Village, twenty miles away. I will go to find you after dawn and meet you."

When the old Taoist heard that Jin'an was going to the city again to save people, he directly said that he and Sha Yang would also go with him, and that the three of them, grandpa and grandson, would not be separated tonight and would go together.

A few thick black lines hung from Jin An's forehead.

At this time, the old Taoist did not forget to take advantage of his words.

……

At this time, in Chang County, the flames were soaring into the sky, and the chaos and fighting continued.

In the house near the east gate, Chen Gui, Ma Chen, and Han Jin regretted a lot, why didn't they escape out of the city together just now.

But it's too late to say anything now.

"It doesn't make sense. Why did they pass through the city gate safe and sound, but the mountain of corpses didn't kill them?"

"Could it just look scary?"

Although people are naturally afraid of these strange things, in order to escape from Chang County, the three discussed for a long time and decided to send one person to explore the mountain of corpses.

This frightened the other people half to death, shaking their heads like rattles, and no one wanted to go.

When there was no candidate for discussion, suddenly, a servant in charge of guarding the wind gave a low cry that there was something wrong. The servant was dumbfounded and said that the mysterious master who led the people of Chang County to escape from the city successfully brought the old Taoist priest and the like-looking The sheep's calf has returned to Chang County and is walking towards the house where they are hiding.

……

"Master Jin'an!"

"Hahaha, I didn't expect that mysterious master to be you, Mr. Jin'an!"

"Tonight we just had a drink together at the "Hongyun Gaosheng Hall" in Lefeng Building, and enjoyed the singer. Mr. Jin'an came here to rescue Mr. Chen tonight, which moved Mr. Chen very much. Mr. Jin'an really Don't forget the friendship between us several times to appreciate concubines."

Before Jin An approached the house, the door of the house opened voluntarily, and then he was hugged excitedly by an old squire who rushed out in a hurry.

Jin An: "?"

The god-fucking concubine-appreciating friend, Jin An almost couldn't lift the old squire who could be his grandfather at this age, and threw him as far as he could.

At this moment, Jin An's face was darker than the bottom of the pot the goat was carrying.
