Chapter 61, City of Chaos
The light of the sun not only drives away darkness, but also hatred.
Tang Bai, who had been silent all night, stood up facing the sun, without joy or sorrow, and looked very calm; he ate two bowls of tofu brain and three egg flatbreads in Zhang Mazi's shop; then went to Rust Village, bought a set of gorgeous yellow shirts, and then went to Yunjia Alley to trim his hair, and after bathing in the drunken fragrance building, he slept for most of the day, and only woke up in the evening; then he ate some wine and food, and asked the peony fairy to comb his hair and tidy up his clothes, and the whole person looked like jade, and even the peony fairy wanted to hold him in his arms and love him.
But the peony fairy didn't dare, because she could feel the indifference in the bones of this young man, and there was no life in his eyes, which made people feel fear from the bottom of their hearts.
He has a sword in his hand, and he still has a sword wrapped around his waist, when he wiped the sword in his hand and looked at himself, the peony fairy felt that his body temperature was dropping rapidly, his heartbeat seemed to stop, and the whole person was like standing naked in the ice and snow, and he couldn't feel any warmth.
But after the young man left, she was a little reluctant in her heart, and she had a feeling that she would never see this jade-like boy again.
She opened the doors and windows of the embroidery building, and quietly watched the young man walk in the direction of Liancheng Mansion, and then disappeared into her eyes and disappeared into her own world.
The sun was setting in the west, and the last remaining light was blocked by the mountains, and only the clouds in the west could be seen as if they were burned red by fire.
Tang Bai walked very slowly, but soon walked to Liancheng Mansion, because Zuixiang Mansion was not far from Liancheng Mansion.
Liancheng Mansion is not like a mansion, but more like a palace.
There were eight soldiers with spears standing in front of the mansion, and when they saw Tang Bai, the eight spears were immediately aimed at Tang Bai.
From the calmness in their eyes, Tang Bai knew that his appearance, the people of the Xia Hou family had already prepared.
But so what, because he came, he didn't plan to leave, he didn't belong to this world in the first place.
He turned his head and looked to the east of the city, where he had been home, and he tilted his head to look at Cuiyun Mountain, where his dearest relatives were buried, and he wanted to take another look at that place, the relatives buried there.
When he looked at Liancheng Mansion again, he moved, and the sword in his hand also moved, and when he moved, there were seven or eight more identical Tang Bai, identical swords, and then eight lines of blood spurted out, like a fountain in a rockery.
The eight soldiers guarding the gate fell to the ground at the same time, and there was a bright red sword hole in their necks, and the blood spread and mixed together, making people feel as if the young man in front of the gate was standing in a pool of blood.
Tang Bai entered the gate of the mansion, it is a large garden, there are pavilions and pavilions in the garden, rockery and flowing water, and the layout is elegant and atmospheric.
Suddenly, the rockery was full of people.
A group of soldiers surrounded them, there were seventy or eighty people, their spears were shining in the sky, and the bright swords were dazzling, and the leading ones were the tall and strong generals, who used the big swords in the army, which were extremely heavy.
He suddenly shouted, "Kill!" and slashed at Tang Bai.
Tang Bai's face was expressionless, he drew his sword and struck, moving his sword like the wind, fast as lightning, and attacking the heart, throat, eyes and other places where he was killed with one blow.
Although the general's martial arts skills were not weak and his strength was infinite, he was also forced to dazzle by Tang Bai's fast swordsmanship, which was thrilling and dangerous, and he invisibly retreated.
Those soldiers, where could they dodge Tang Bai's long sword, three or two, more than ten fell in an instant, and the wound was soon pitch black, obviously Tang Bai's sword was smeared with the poison that sealed his throat with blood.
This is a war that has nothing to do with good and evil, and no amount of cruel means can be judged by morality.
When everyone was killing in the dark, another group of soldiers rushed over, densely packed in a large area, and I don't know how many people there were.
The general's martial arts skills are not weak, the most important thing is to dispatch the rhythm of the soldiers' attacks; when Tang Bai attacks, the front retreats, and the rear attacks; when Tang Bai retreats, the front attacks, the rear retreats, there is the shadow of the military formation on the battlefield, Xiao is Tang Bai's martial arts entry, and he is like a tiger trapped in a cage, and he is helpless for a while.
And in a tall building not far from here, two middle-aged men could just see everything in the garden, one of them was Xia Hou Zicong, and he smiled: "This son is the young man who has the immortal scripture." β
The person next to him nodded and said, "It's true, I just don't know if it's true or not, but the golden light of that time burst out from this young man." Even if there is no "Lotus Sutra", at such an age, martial arts have already entered, and there are some secrets. β
Xia Hou Zicong smiled: "It's so good, don't let him die, this young man is worth living." As soon as he finished speaking, four or five Jianghu people suddenly broke into the gate of the mansion and fought with the soldiers in the mansion.
Xia Hou Zicong turned around and said, "What's the matter?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Xia Hou Ziming running over and said: "Big brother, I'm afraid that things are a little troublesome, and suddenly there is a crazy rumor in the city, the young man of the Tang family who has the immortal scripture was arrested by us, and the immortal scripture fell into our Xia Hou family." β
Xia Hou Zicong frowned, and said: "These people in the rivers and lakes are just a group of brainless martial artists, no matter what, the city has been chaotic for a while, so we should clean up the silt in the pond, and it is time to return a stable environment to the people, after all, this lotus city is the lotus city of our Xia Hou family." β
When Xia Houzi heard this, he asked, "Do you want to dispatch the Iron Armor Army?"
Xia Hou Zicong nodded and said, "Let them despair!" After speaking, when he looked at the garden again, there were seven or eight more people from the rivers and lakes, and the figure of that young man disappeared without a trace.
The rivers and lakes of Liancheng have formed a net, and their desires are intertwined with countless hatreds, hatred is a knot, a knot that cannot be untied, so the rivers and lakes of Liancheng are a net, netting all the people in the rivers and lakes.
Liancheng has been in turmoil recently, and you can see the rivers and lakes fighting at any time; you can see the corpses that no one reined in at any time, and a group of wild dogs that come from nowhere, in two or three months, they are as strong as calves.
Jianghu people like to drink, drink on street corners, drink in pavilions, drink in restaurants, and drink in brothels. The more you can drink, the more arrogant you look, and the more you can drink, the more popular you are. So when you get drunk, you will kill you if you don't say the right thing. Of course, there are also people who like to gamble, some people like to listen to small songs, and some people hug the woman in the Qinglou and make love. But as soon as he heard the news of the Immortal Sutra, the fight desperately stopped automatically, the drinker threw away the wine jar, the gambling money threw away the gambling equipment in his hand, the one who listened to the song jumped out of the window, and the woman made love with the messy pants, and ran naked.
Liancheng Mansion became another Tang family, with flames everywhere, the sound of killing shook the sky, and the blood flowed like a river.
Xia Hou's house was really in chaos, screams, cries, roars, and despair pierced the sky.
The same was true on the night the Tang family was destroyed, perhaps even more desperate than this.
But Liancheng Mansion is Liancheng Mansion, which not only has countless elite soldiers, but also an invincible ironclad army.
The Iron Armor Army is like a moving fortress, except for their eyes and nose, their whole body is made of stainless steel, and they can't hurt them in the slightest if they are attacked by those skilled Jianghu people. They don't need defense, they don't need martial arts, they're just a bunch of killing machines.
Jianghu people will also be afraid of death, when the big knife cuts off a head, when the spear pierces a body, they know that the Jianghu is just a Jianghu after all.
But Liancheng is a city, not only there are people from the rivers and lakes, but also many families of all sizes.
When the people of the rivers and lakes were frightened, another group of people with masked faces rushed into the city, they were wearing different armor and holding swords of the same standard; they were not Jianghu people, nor soldiers, they were the dead soldiers of some families, and some families secretly cultivated the power to protect themselves.
Xia Hou Zicong's spirit tensed, and he suddenly thought that the demise of the Tang family had caused families of the size of Liancheng to have a crisis of rabbit death and fox sorrow, so they joined forces, not only to protect themselves, but also to replace the Xia Hou family.
If someone takes the lead in this kind of thing, there will be countless small families to follow.
Sure enough, another group of people entered the city lord's mansion and killed together with many soldiers.
Xia Hou's family is really in danger.
Even if he is as smart as Xiahou Zicong, he underestimates people's desires.
The roaring fire rose to the sky and spread in all directions, and the sound of fighting resounded throughout the lotus city, and the corpses were accompanied by blood, like purgatory on earth.
This is already a war.
There is no right or wrong in war, and there is no innocence in life and death, even if it is the little girl who fell in the corner, she may be a simple and kind person, maybe she is full of beauty in life, or she may have infinite hope for the future, these are not important, the important thing is that she was born in Xia Hou's house, so she died.
Fate is like this, only the slightest element of error will not end well.
Tang Bai broke away from the military formation, broke into the back hall, and killed people when he saw them, he didn't distinguish between men and women, young and old, the rules of the other world were getting farther and farther away from him, he didn't know if this was the liberation of human nature, he only knew that as long as it was someone from the Xia Hou family, he would kill, he even wanted to kill himself, he was completely in the magic barrier.
The war spread from Liancheng Mansion to the entire city.
A city without a regular distance is like a forest where the jungle eats the strong.
Those green-skinned gangsters, the most petty thieves on weekdays, get some oil and water; Liancheng was in chaos, and they were bold, robbed the rich households, went out of the city gate in the middle of the night, and disappeared without a trace; some people who did evil killed people, raped the lady in the boudoir, and were killed again; and some people in the rivers and lakes smashed open the door of the shop, not only robbed the money, but also set a fireγγγγγγγ
Liancheng has become a chaotic city, and once people are unrestrained, they are more terrible than beasts and more evil than demons.
This kind of change was unexpected by everyone, Tang Bai didn't plan to leave Liancheng Mansion alive at all, he fought with his life to avenge his parents.
But he opened a thread and affected all the forces in Liancheng.
Wen Xiaobao wanted the wooden box that Cangshan took away from the Tang family's bamboo forest, he didn't know that there was only a piece of in the wooden box, he decided that the wooden box was the immortal scripture he had been looking forward to for a long time, so he secretly encouraged all the people in the rivers and lakes to kill Xia Hou's house.
The Yan family didn't want to become the second Tang family, and because of Yan Feifei's relationship, they wanted to help Tang Bai secretly, so they sent their own private soldiers.
The Han family knew that sooner or later they would have to face this family that regarded themselves as a thorn in their side, such a good opportunity, how could they not take advantage of the fire to rob.
All the factors are mixed together, Liancheng Mansion is like a huge piece of fat, everyone wants to take a bite in secret, even if they have sophisticated soldier weapons and countless martial arts masters, they can't stop the power of a city.
There are very few people who send charcoal in the snow, and there must be many people who fall into the well, not to mention that there are interests involved.
Reservoir dogs are not often beaten, and once there are reservoir dogs, everyone wants to fight them.
The darkness is torn apart by the firelight, and those who fight in the firelight are like demons who have escaped from hell, they have no emotion, they have only endless killing in their minds, and the screams and screams are their music, and the blood and desperate expressions are their stimulants.
On the tall building in the distance, there was a scholar who was more than half a hundred years old, it was Tang Bai's teacher and master, he looked at the entire chaotic city, he shouted in despair: "Kill, you beasts without human nature, let the darkness see your ugliness." Then he jumped from a tall building, and he lost faith in the whole of humanity.
