Chapter 138: Gancheng Trap
Cheongju, Ganseong.
Once the whole city was besieged by demon beasts, when it was difficult, there was almost no damage in Gancheng, many places have only ruins, and the broken bricks and stones still have traces of fire and thunder, and even some places are stained with blood.
At present, Gancheng, in just a few days, was divided into two halves in the battle between the monks of the two sides.
In the south, it occupies three-quarters of the position of Gancheng, where not only nearly ninety percent of the people in Gancheng, but also welcome... A monk on the side of the Xuancheongmen Gate in Cheongju.
To the north, with the city lord's mansion, which had been abandoned at the time of the siege of the demon beasts, was bounded by the difficult to guard the boundary close to the north gate of Gancheng, except for the many monks in the Ming Provincial Valley, there were only more than a hundred residents of Gancheng. Not all of these ordinary people who originally lived in the north of Gancheng once lived in the north of Gancheng, and a large part of them came from the territory in the south that is now controlled by the monks of the Xuanqing Gate.
The reason why it is a monk from the "Xuanqing Gate" side, rather than a monk from the "Xuanqing Gate", is because of ......
Now there are people in Gancheng who are in a stalemate with the people of Ming Province Valley, not only the people of Xuanqingmen, but also many monks who are not Xuanqingmen.
It may not be strange that there are people from the Feng family, but now they can identify that in addition to the Xuanqing Sect and the Feng family, the other monks are ......
Stubborn state yin.
Before this, although Xue Yuan had doubts about whether the Yin Sect had fallen to the Feng family, after coming to Gancheng, he saw the monks of the Yin Sect with all their strength with Xuanqingmen and the Feng family, and when they fell into the trap, it was still very surprising that they were surrounded by the Ming Province Valley.
Yes, traps.
Until they brought people to Gancheng to rescue, Li Yanran and others confronted the Xuanqingmen monks who guarded Gancheng on the bright face and did not let people enter or leave, while Zhou Yan, who was disguised and hid his face, sneaked into the city under the cover of several others to look for Rao who was infected with the plague...... I was surprised to find that the situation in Gancheng was very different from what they heard. Most of the residents in Gancheng were indeed trembling, very afraid, and almost refused to take half a step out of their homes, but after looking at many people, they did not find any symptoms of the plague, and Zhou Yan in the city did not detect the large-scale use of poison. And the attitude of the residents in Gancheng when they saw them was also very problematic, most of them dodged their eyes and avoided them with a little horror, and occasionally a few of them glared at them viciously, but they refused to contact them......
This is not the case.
However, when they realized that something was wrong, many monks who had been in ambush in Gancheng for a long time appeared.
If it weren't for the fact that everyone in Ming Province Valley had some talisman talismans on their bodies, they would have secretly used their spiritual power to urge their defenses before entering the city, and that was the only ...... I'm afraid there will be a lot of casualties.
The six people who infiltrated the city with Zhou Yan finally took advantage of the chaos to avoid the city lord's mansion after Su Run sacrificed Xuanwuxuan, and delayed for a while to let Tao Kuan, one of the few people in the valley of Ming Province who had studied the formation method a little bit and was personally instructed by Xiao Luo, hurriedly activated the array on his body, and set up an enchantment in the northernmost semi-land boundary of Gancheng.
Li Yanran, Lu Yan and the others outside the city quickly sensed that something was wrong, and no longer spared their hands and quickly killed the two Jindan early stage monks of the Xuanqing Gate on the bright side, but when they wanted to come to the meeting, they were stopped by the great elder of the Xuanqing Gate who appeared to kill him.
The only two remaining Yuanying monks in Xuanqingmen are the head of Xuanqingmen, but the great elder of Xuanqingmen, and now it is the great elder of Xuanqingmen who is directly killing Li Yanran and others outside the city, the true monarch of the Yuanqing Infant Period.
Lu Yan and the others were originally mostly casual cultivators, and they didn't have much background, and they barely had much strength to fight back against the Yuanying Cultivator who was a big level higher than them, and they only barely combined the strength of a few people to resist the defense, and they were seriously injured after only blocking one blow. Lu Yan and the others don't have top-notch magic weapons like Su Run's Xuanwuxuan, but fortunately, they ...... Li Yanran is from a family, and she still has a few good things to save her life. With this and Zhongrao's cooperation, he barely escaped from the hands of the great elder of Xuanqing Gate, and hurriedly entered the city, relying on the Ming Province Valley identity jade talisman on everyone's body into the enchantment supported by Tao Kuan's array plate.
Outside, the Great Elder of the Xuanqing Sect personally took all the remaining Jindan monks from the Xuanqing Sect, together with the ten Jindan monks of the Feng family and the fifteen Jindan monks of the Yin Sect.
There were no other living monks in Gancheng except for them and the people in the Ming Province Valley.
And the ordinary people in the city......
The semi-boundary to the north of Gancheng is occupied by the Ming Province Valley, and when they try to get out of the trap in the time they are trying to get out of trouble, the ordinary people living here are constantly trying to sneak away from these people in the Ming Province Valley. They didn't stay silent for long when they found that the enchantment was blocking them from getting out, and there were quite a few Rao leaders who weren't too afraid of them......
When he saw them, he cursed.
It is they who bring the evil.
It was these scum in the valley of Ming Province that affected Gancheng.
If they hadn't come at the beginning, Gancheng would not have been hated by Xuanqingmen and other bigwigs.
If these wicked people in the Ming Province Valley had obediently not resisted Fufa, their city would not have been destroyed, and no innocent city residents would have been implicated, injured, or killed.
It's all their fault.
Crying and insulting, perhaps this also contains the panic that these people have nowhere to vent, but when someone picks up a stone on the ground and impulsively throws it......
Lu Yan's heart is cold.
But......
Fortunately, there are still people who have not cooled their hearts.
There were still a small number of people living in Beicheng, although many of them did not dare to stand up in front of those who were insulting and accusing, but at least, they quickly told the truth to the people of Ming Shenggu who had been kept in the dark and stepped into the trap.
There is no plague at all in Gancheng, no ordinary people are sick, and there are no so-called monks who are sick, but Gancheng was targeted and surrounded by the people of Xuanqingmen, but it is true.
After the people in Gancheng recalled the last time the demon beasts besieged the city, they had great panic about being besieged by the Xuanqing Gate again, and almost every moment had the feeling of hovering on the edge of life and death. Just when the people in Gancheng began to collapse, some people began to ask if they could ask for help from Ming Shenggu again. If the people of Ming Province Valley can save them the first time, they can save them a second time.
At that time, the people of Ming Province Valley were still in the role of saviors in their eyes.
But soon, there were many more monks on the side of Xuanqing Gate, and in the eyes of ordinary people in Gancheng, the immortal masters who didn't even dare to look at them more, and some of the residents in the city could still recognize them...... The Great Elder of the Xuanqing Sect, who was like an immortal to them, also appeared.
And at that time, when some of these monks began to waver and despair and some insisted on finding a way to ask for help from Ming Shenggu, those monks, especially the people from Xuanqingmen, accused someone in Gancheng of colluding with Xuanqingmen's evil cultivators...... Killed a lot of people. At the beginning, the monk named Sun Wei of Xuanqingmen knew in Gancheng was almost slaughtered.
Ironically, these people did not stand up on their own, nor were they recognized by the people of Xuanqingmen, but by their neighbors and former friends, and by other residents who were also rescued by the people of Ming Province Valley in the disaster of the monster siege.
By identifying these "villains" who collude with evil cultivators, they can save their lives in the city and even receive a reward.
After this scene ended quickly talking about killing, the great elder of Xuanqingmen did not hide it well, found some ordinary people in the city to "act", and asked them to go to the Ming Province Valley in Miaozhou, and attract the people of the Ming Province Valley in the name of asking for help, the more the better, and the story of the "plague" in Gancheng was extremely meticulous and thoughtful, so that those people could remember it firmly.
Those who were selected were selected from among those who had taken the initiative to identify the city's residents who had contact with Sun Wei and the rest of the Ming Valley.
After those people left Gancheng under the "escort" of the Xuanqingmen monks, the great elder bluntly said that he would exterminate the evil cultivators in the Ming Province Valley in Gancheng, so that everyone in Gancheng, a city that had colluded with evil cultivators and caused heavy losses to Xuanqingmen, would be guilty of meritorious service.
For a time, the city was wailing.
Even ordinary people who can't cultivate, they know how big the movement of the immortal masters will really be, and they can't ...... It's not something like them can resist.
Slaughtered in the city, the two sides fought, and the ordinary people in the city ......
In the face of dozens of immortal masters who were standing in front of them at that moment and were in charge of their life and death, they didn't dare and couldn't do anything to them, so they "deservedly" vented their anger on those monks of Ming Province Gu who were about to be deceived into coming to Gancheng, but the purpose was to save the lives of the people in the city.
The one who knelt on the ground and kowtowed and begged for mercy, crying and scolding the monks of Ming Province Gu for being brutes, pointing to and swearing that he must be on the side of Xuanqingmen......
The movement in Gancheng that day made many people who still have a conscience in their hearts, and remember who saved the entire Gancheng from the siege of the demon beast herd, and they were ashamed in their hearts.
However, no one dares to risk what to do, and naturally, they are not capable of doing anything.
Even at this time, in the face of these people who have been deceived into danger, when they once saved their lives, the only thing these few people can do is to tell them this cruel and cruel truth.
The first six people came to tell them the truth, and two of them fell to their knees with tears in their eyes and guilt, both in gratitude for their last rescue and for this ...... of guilt.
There were very few people coming, but it was reasonable
Now in this comparison, it is not easy for them to even have a short period of peace and shelter, how to deal with the large number of monks outside the barrier who are trying to put them to death? The people who were deceived by Ming Shenggu this time probably can't leave alive, and there are very few people who have the courage to approach them at this time.
Lu Yan asked Tao Kuan to set up another enchantment formation with a slightly wider range, leaving these Gancheng residents who had come to report to them in this enchantment, lest they return to the group of people outside... It's not good.
These few people are probably the only bit of warmth that Xuanqingmen can feel in Gancheng when he came to save everyone.
At the very least, protect them as much as you can before they die.
After that, there were more people in the inland of this enchantment, and those who secretly came to bring them food and medicinal herbs in the north city quietly escaped from the territory controlled by the Xuanqing Gate in the south and were unwilling to stay with the Xuanqing Gate......
After Li Yanran asked Tao Kuan to adjust the array plate so that the enchantment could not enter or out, a place in the northern city where the Ming Province Valley was entrenched soon almost escaped.
But those people were not grateful to the Ming Province Gu Zhongrao for letting go, even when they left, they still cursed, and after they went out, there were still a few people who were trying to try to see if they could enter again, and wanted to take advantage of this loophole to tell the immortal masters over there in the south city, in exchange for their own safety and even rewards.
After seeing these faces, the more than 100 ordinary people in Gancheng who stayed in Beicheng in the end seemed so precious to the people of Ming Province Valley, who were already a little numb.
At first, Li Yanran, who couldn't help but want to whip those mouths, gradually became numb.
Night.
Today, another wave of attacks was blocked, although the changes could not be seen from the outside, but the people in the enchantment, especially Tao Kuan himself, knew very well that the enchantment was already much weaker, and he was afraid that he would not be able to hold out a few more times.
Night.
The previous support within the barrier is all hurrying to heal and recover.
Here in the north city, there are few people, quiet, and the atmosphere is a little ...... Stagnant.
It's not that no one thought of summoning back for help, but obviously the people of Xuanqingmen were also guarding against this, and at the moment when they began to be attacked, although the entire Gancheng could still enter and exit, it was no longer possible to send a message. Just like before the siege of the demon beast tide in the beginning, the contact was cut off after only one message, until Xiao Luo led people to find Sun Wei and Ye Qiang.
The injury was relatively minor, and Li Yanran, who had already recovered, sat on the wall and looked up at the stars, and after a long time, she did not move.
Lu Yan, who came out of the room, saw it, thought about it, poured some water and jumped up, and handed it to Li Yanran.
Li Yanran didn't answer, but said, "...... Before, Xuanqingmen wanted to sacrifice all his lives in the entire Gancheng City, and when the demon beasts besieged the city, it was the people of Ming Province Valley who almost risked their lives to save them. ”
Lu Yan lowered his eyes and let out a long breath: "...... Be. ”
"Ming Shenggu also formed a mortal enmity with Xuanqingmen for this, if it wasn't for the border at that time...... I don't know how many will fall. ”
“......”
"Even now, Yao Lan's injuries on their bodies are not complete, Ming Yi still has most of the time to lie down, Huang Bin's previous residual poison has not been cleaned up, and the meridians will have to be raised for a few more years to recover......"
Lu Yan listened silently and saw Li Yanran's hands slowly clenched into fists.
"But you, how can they be so ungrateful?"
Lu Yan sighed and sat down beside Li Yanran: "It's just because my life is more important." ”
"Huh. Li Yanran sneered: "They are afraid of the people of the Xuanqing Sect, the people of the Feng family, and the people of the Yin Sect, but they are not afraid of us who are also monks." I thought about it...... Figured it out. Probably because we were too kind to them, and we must have been too polite to them when we came to Gancheng before, so that they felt that the monks in Ming Province Valley were all good people with good words......"
Lu Yan didn't refute: "A monk who can kill them at every turn without caring is naturally more frightening than being reasonable and not hurting at will." ”
"So...... Would they rather go to those executioners?" Li Yanran shook her head and smiled: "What is this...... Amazing truth......"
“...... In order to protect himself, he lost his conscience. ”
"Oh, that's good! It's really a ......loss" Li Yanran turned her head sideways and looked at the "brightly lit" place in Nancheng from a distance: "They kept scolding that it was Ming Shenggu who came to cause trouble and caused them trouble, but they forgot that if it wasn't for Xiao Luo and them coming over, this would have been a dead city now, where could they still stand here and scold?"
Lu Yan sighed: "I've talked about the crisis, I've talked about kindness, where is it worth remembering?"
"It's really ruthless...... Li Yanran squinted: "You...... They know these things now...... Will you regret coming to Gancheng to save them?"
Lu Yan was silent for a moment, and the waves in his eyes regained calm: "...... No. ”
Li Yanran was a little surprised: "Oh?"
"One...... Stone monument in the valley of Ming Province...... If you can't meet us, you can't pretend that you don't know. ”
“...... Second, what about it?"
"Second......" Lu Yan's gaze turned to the location where the more than 100 people who stayed in Beicheng now lived: "Not everyone is not worthy, the juice of the night... And the light. ”
