The closest to the southern area of Jinshui Town is Loumen, northeast of Pingjiang Prefecture. The distance between the two places is about ten miles, and it takes about half an hour to walk on weekdays.

It is said that among Zhou Zheng's team, there are old and young, and the speed of action should be slower. But because this is a life-and-death juncture, no one dares to slack off at all, and on the whole, the overall speed of travel is not much slower. They walked peacefully for half an hour, and from a distance, they had already seen the hazy light from Pingjiang Mansion.

For a while, people's hearts were settled, and they all breathed a sigh of relief, and some people cried with joy because they escaped, and cried on the spot.

At this moment, a scorching wind struck, and the winter night instantly seemed like a hot summer, so hot that people sweated all over.

"Hurry up, my highness!" Zhou Zheng didn't even need to look back, just listened to the heavy footsteps like the collapse of the mountain and rocks, approaching quickly, and knew that the person who came was not good.

Including the enthusiastic young garrison at that time, the entire team was exhausted and lost their fighting spirit. If Zhou Zheng wants to restrain them and let them fight against the undead, I'm afraid it will be quite difficult. Now tell them to run, where will anyone hesitate? One or two didn't think about it, and ran away as soon as they scattered. A few people with a conscience, such as Brother Xiaoma, and the weirdly dressed rich brother, and then ...... Li Fenghuang said "take care" very sincerely, and then withdrew.

"Ahh Zhou Zheng stretched his body hard, exhaled a cloudy breath, and then took a deep breath.

The clammy and cold, slightly foggy air at night is poured into the lungs in large quantities, making people awake and calming down. Zhou Zheng held the knife, his face was solemn, and he met the sound of footsteps...... No, there is no need to judge by sound, the blazing fire on the enemy's body is so distinct in the dark night, like a ghost chasing souls for life.

From a distance, the person who came seemed to be the Ghost Rider played by Nicolas Cage. The difference is that Ghost Rider is a skeletal frame with a burning head, while the uninvited guest in front of him is a stone man with seven holes breathing fire. Moreover, the figure of the uninvited guest is much more true than that of the Evil Spirit Rider, which is about one meter tall.

The lava asura stopped a foot away in a hurry, and did not rush forward to attack. He was observing Zhou Zheng, just like Zhou Zheng was also observing him.

The flames of the "Ring Knife ......" fluctuated with the wind, and the sound was like the collision of rocks, rough and hoarse.

Zhou Zheng exhaled again and smiled tiredly: "What, do you like it?" "He didn't take it lightly, because the rush and the pain almost exhausted him. And his natal star, after absorbing a lot of the Styx Mist, also dimmed a lot, and it was almost impossible to function.

"Like ......" is like a child's tone looking at the cone, although the voice is still frighteningly hard. Then, as if seeing that Zhou Zheng didn't react, he added another sentence: "Raw knife...... The Knife ...... Alive"

"Then if I give you the knife, can we not fight?" Zhou Zheng smiled, how he wished that everything could end quickly, he had never loved the quilt as much as he did at this moment, even after working overtime for three days in a row.

Under Zhou Zheng's expectant gaze, the lava asura hesitated, and he was silent for a long time before he said, "Okay......" But before he finished speaking, he saw the red flame on his head explode and turn into a more powerful golden red.

"Someone controls your soul." Zhou Zheng, who had obtained all the knowledge of the empty seal monk, saw through the current situation at a glance.

But the lava asura could no longer hear it, the ultimate prohibition in his soul had already taken effect, and in the next time, he would burn his own life and destroy everything that Shen Yi wanted him to destroy.

"You're going to die!"

"Perhaps."

Zhou Zheng smiled, he thought to himself: "As long as we delay enough time and let everyone rush to Pingjiang Fucheng, it will be fine." However, outside the city, it was not the same as he guessed.

"Commander Ma, you know the rules. Forgive your indignity and please wait until five or three o'clock, when the curfew is over, before entering the city. "The city gate guard is above the city tower, and it is another set of official words.

Just kidding, if there were only Ma in command and more than 400 garrisons, the garrison officer might not care, but there were also 2,000 people. Who knows where these people came from, if they are bandits pretending to be ...... There were only a thousand troops stationed in the city, and more than 400 of them were around the Ma Commander. If there is really a problem with this group of people outside the city, then if they come into the city, won't they kill Pingjiang Mansion into white ground? At that time, even if the garrison officer did not die on the battlefield, he would not be able to escape the investigation afterwards and be beheaded all over the house.

In addition, I have to make a little explanation, the city gate guard in front of me is not the one who was stabbed in the shoulder by Wen Siqi's knife.

The river network of Pingjiang Mansion is dense, the plots are broken, and there are eight major water and land city gates. To travel between different regions, you have to go around the road through these eight water and land city gates. Zhou Zheng and Wen Siqi returned from the Central Plains and walked through the gate. It was there that Wen Siqi came to a "flying knife and see flying knife", which involved the commander of the horse and five hundred garrisons.

Why did Wen Siqi say that he would take Zhou Zheng to Shiqiao County at that time? According to common sense, since Jinshui Town is under the rule of Shiqiao County, it is the same to go to Jinshui Town when you encounter a curfew in Shiqiao County, and it should not be much shorter.

But in fact, this is not the case, although Jinshui Town is under the rule of Shiqiao County, there is a large river between the two, and it is not possible to move directly. Starting from Changmen, you can go to Shiqiao County through Qimen. If you encounter a curfew and can't stay, you have to take a turn back, walk Qimen again, return to the boundary of Fucheng, and then bypass Loumen to Jinshui Town.

According to Wen Siqi's calculations, if Zhou Zheng was really obedient and slowly accompanied her, when they arrived in Jinshui Town, everything should be settled.

At that time, the garrison officer of the gate had always been friendly with the Ma commander, which is why the horse commander would be willing to send troops on Chinese New Year's Eve. If it weren't for the injury of his good brother, for example, something happened to the Loumen garrison in front of him, and the horse commander would take care of it? It's like the truth! No matter how much the female thief makes trouble, it's his business - catching thieves is a matter of catching a thief, and it is his business for bandits to attack the city.

So in the same way, the garrison officer of this Loumen and the commander of the horse nodding friends, but they are just ordinary colleagues. Therefore, he could not talk about the slightest emotion, only the rules, and did not let the more than 2,000 people outside the city enter the city.

Some people may say, isn't it okay to take a different route? That's not going to work, after all, the garrison officer was seriously injured by Wen Siqi, and he is definitely not in the city now. Only the soldiers are staring there, and they will never dare to open the door, and if they don't do it, they will be beheaded all over the door, who would dare?

If you take a detour...... If you take a detour, you will really have to go around until dawn.

Commander Ma looked around and asked Boss Fan and Han Da, "Do you want to go some longer and go to Xumen to have a look, the garrison there is familiar with me, and he should let me and others into the city." ”

Boss Fan and Han Da hadn't spoken yet, and the surroundings were already shouting chaotically: "Don't go, kill my head and don't leave." ”

This is also something that can't be helped, this group of residents is a wealthy family, and they were originally celebrating the New Year, but they were pulled out of their homes, saying that Jinshui Town was haunted and wanted to die. Speaking of which, if it weren't for the credibility of Boss Fan's old face, they wouldn't have bothered to retreat at all.

But even so, this group of people has not seen any blood, nor has they seen the undead or anything, they will be suspicious, how much enthusiasm can they have? This is also why, they retreated so early, but in fact they failed to get too far away from the second echelon led by Zhou Zheng - the first echelon was walking, and the second echelon was fleeing for their lives!

Therefore, when they arrived at the city gate, they saw that the commander of the horse also said that they would make a detour, and they were going to the farthest Xu Gate, but the group refused to leave one or two.

To tell the truth, Commander Ma had seen a fight, and he knew in his heart that Zhou Zheng said that there was a huge danger, so it should be fine. He actually considered whether to leave behind this group of excellent and wandering goods and run away alone with his brother. But when he looked back, it didn't work out - he knew that there was danger, but he threw the two richest people in Jinshui Town in Loumen, if they were all ...... Won't Jinshui Town's taxes be reduced to zero next year?

When the time comes, the boss will blame him, and he, the commander of the garrison, who is not big or small, is simply the best master of the blame. If you get a scar that is not the size of a bowl, if you are more vicious, maybe there are other "giveaways", such as the whole family's distribution, army recruitment or something, it will be even less worthwhile.

"Die and die." Commander Ma gave up, sighed secretly, and then shouted towards the city: "Then please go to the Pillow Book Society, and say that there are demons making trouble in Jinshui Town, and it is very likely that they will follow us and others to rush and kill, so let them send some capable disciples to come." ”

This is easy to say, and the lower official immediately sent someone to pass the ceremony. But adults, you also have to be mentally prepared, for the Chinese New Year, how many people will come, and when they will come, I'm afraid it's a problem. "The gatekeeper is open.

"It's fine." What else can the horse commander say? He also knew in his heart: "Depend on your fate." ”

At this moment, a chaotic sound sounded in the distance, and the horse commander looked at the leader of the leader, a skeleton as big as a bull......

"Oh mom, brother, open the door and take a look, the army of the undead is coming!"

On the other side, Zhou Zheng's battle with the lava Asura has also come to an end. I saw that Zhou Zheng deliberately sold a flaw, luring the lava asura to come forward, and his anger moved at will, and a bright galaxy appeared on the back of his head.

In the middle of that galaxy, there is a red star, shining brightly, like a sun wheel. And next to the sun wheel, there is a small golden star, which is also shining.

Red and golden light flashed together, and the power of the rules contained in it fixed the lava Asura on the spot, unable to move. Where would Zhou Zheng let go of such an opportunity?

As if drawing a knife to cut off water, Zhou Zheng flashed with a knife in his hand and cut the lava Asura in two. And the flames on its body were also extinguished at the same time, and there was no slightest fluctuation of aura up and down its body.

"Ahem cough ......" Although Zhou Zheng won, his internal injuries were aggravated by many wrestling, and he couldn't help coughing up blood at the moment. There were also many strange fiery true elements, penetrating from the place where Zhou Zheng was hit, burning his veins.

Zhou Zheng withdrew the natal stars, and the sense of weakness was even more incomprehensible, he looked at the lava Asura that had turned into a pile of stubborn stones, and sighed: "Chinese New Year's Eve, it's really not wonderful at all. ”

After speaking, Zhou Zheng walked in the direction of Pingjiang Mansion without looking back. Exhausted, his five senses had fallen to an all-time low, even worse than when he was blocked by the Styx Mist. So he didn't realize that when the lava Asura was cut in two, a drop of golden blood had already seeped into the ground.

Similarly, Zhou Zheng didn't notice that under the dim moonlight, his shadow was a little weird - he left, and the shadow naturally followed him. But where he had just stood, there was a shadow, still in place.

Yes, Zhou Zheng had two shadows, one followed him, and the other did not......

And just after Zhou Zheng walked away, the shadow moved to the place where the golden blood dripped and stopped there, as if Zhou Zheng was still there.

Suddenly, the ground tumbled, hot, red, and filled with a lot of smoke, like a lava eruption......

"Finally, finally learned!" A rough sound sounded, as if it was a stone crashing—lava condensed above the shadow, and finally took shape, but it was Zhou Zheng's appearance.
