Chapter 158: A Pact with Demons
The sky gradually darkened, and the city gate of Anyang County was about to be closed by the doorman, and some pedestrians who had not yet entered screamed in panic, and some people stuffed a few copper plates into it, and got the convenience of suspending the door for a short while.
But soon, the doormen did not dare to continue, and a terrible cry came out in the distance, and some outsiders who were locked out of the door cried loudly to enter, but the doormen hardened their hearts and shut them all out.
Ning Lang could hear the guards scolding them loudly, blaming those outside the door for coming here too late.
Ning Lang was also locked out, the wealthy family he followed had already entered Anyang County, but he stayed outside until the city gate was closed.
After knocking on the city gate for a long time and not opening it, the people around seemed to know that there was no way but to sleep outside for a night, so they comforted each other and shrank under the city gate.
Some people took out dry food and gnawed it slowly, but they didn't seem to know what to eat, and more people wept quietly, huddled together and said comforting words.
There were no soldiers guarding the city walls, and it seemed that the soldiers of the county town had just closed the city gates.
A few powerful warriors climbed the wall and marched towards it, and even more powerfully, they used their light skills to leap over the city.
These people jumped over without any problems, as if the soldiers inside didn't care about any of this.
There were also some people who tried to do the same, but the walls were so slippery that they couldn't climb into them without enough strength.
None of the people who had already gone in came to help those who were still outside, including just throwing down a rope, and the people outside did not reprimand those who had just entered, as if there was a tacit understanding between them.
This strange situation made Ning Lang feel a little surprised, so he hesitated for a moment, and his body floated up out of thin air and moved towards the city wall, just in case, he also released the [Stealth Technique] on himself, so that the people around him would not see it.
Very smoothly, Ning Lang came to the wall, where he saw many soldiers squatting here, looking at the outside, not caring at all if someone came in, and even signaled Ning Lang to leave here quickly.
It wasn't until this time that Ning Lang found out that his stealth technique had failed!
But seeing that these soldiers around him seemed to be blind to this, Ning Lang understood that this kind of spell should be seen in this world, and it should not be a rare thing.
It's just that Ning Lang is still a little strange, aren't these soldiers curious about their clothes? Or had they seen something stranger?
And what is the situation here, Ning Lang also feels that his curiosity is too heavy, and he must release some of it.
So Ning Lang ignored the soldier who let him leave, but squatted down and looked out along the gap in the city wall with the soldiers next to him.
"Hey, don't get out of here yet, do you want to break the ban?"
Ning Lang squatted down for less than half a minute, when a soldier who looked like a captain came to his side, pointed at him and whispered, "There are still a few immortal chiefs in the county, don't make trouble here." ”
"No, no!"
Ning Lang shook his hand and said with a smile, then pulled the captain to squat down and asked softly, "May I ask, what's going on here?" I have been staying in the deep mountains and old forests with my master, and I have not come out until now. ”
"Huh?"
The captain looked at Ning Lang with flashing eyes, as if he was amazed at Ning Lang's words: "What you said is true?" ”
"Of course, of course!"
Ning Lang nodded hurriedly.
"Good boy, your master is really an amazing master."
The captain complimented Ning Lang a few words and said, "The current world is simply too chaotic, all kinds of demons and monsters are rampant, it is simply incredible to be able to live in the wild for so long. Those old demons can let you go, your master is definitely a top immortal. ”
"I don't know, he just said he's a bad old man."
Ning Lang neither denied nor admitted it, and said vaguely: "He is indeed a bad old man, he didn't tell me anything at all, he just threw me out a few days ago, and I don't know what's wrong with this world." ”
After Ning Lang finished speaking, he saw the captain in front of him looking at him with amazed eyes, as if he felt that something was wrong, and then immediately thought that in his words just now, the kind of compliment that he could live in the wilderness, he understood that what he just said made the other party grasp a little information.
"Luckily, that bad old man took me with him, and just left me there, and ran away without saying anything."
Ning Lang immediately said again: "Fortunately, there is a city here, otherwise I wouldn't know how to find a place to sleep." ”
Hehehehehe
It didn't take long for the captain to suddenly shout, pointing at a man who was coming up and yelling: "Put the rope away, are you going to disobey the rules!" ”
Ning Lang followed the sound and saw that a martial artist in his thirties climbed up desperately, but instead of leaving by himself like the others, he threw out a ball of hemp rope, hoping to let the people below come up more.
"If you want to die, get out of here and die, don't want to drag the entire county with you!"
The captain roared for a long time and saw that the martial artist was still doing that, and finally couldn't hold back his anger, pulled out his waist knife and rushed towards the martial artist, only to see the knife flash, the hemp rope was cut, and there were several exclamations at the bottom, and the person who should have come up with the help of the rope fell down again.
Ning Lang watched all this coldly, the words shouted by the captain just now solved a mystery in Ning Lang's heart, but more mysteries appeared in his heart.
Wufu watched the hemp rope being cut, glanced at the captain of the soldiers with grief and indignation, shouted hatefully, and jumped directly at the head of the city.
"You're going to die!"
When the captain of the soldiers saw it, he hurriedly leaned on the wall and shouted to the bottom: "You finally came up, why did you go down!" ”
But he couldn't get a reply from the martial artist, and the captain of the soldier could only pat the wall tiles hatefully and sit back beside Ning Lang.
"Why?"
Ning Lang saw that the captain was in a bad mood, and after comforting him a few words, he pointed to the bottom and asked, of course, during this period, he also used some small spells, but what made him strange was that the effect of psychic spells was very low.
This county seems to have a strange force protecting the humans inside, and the effect of spells has been reduced a lot, especially for the illusion and psychic systems, which have been reduced by seventy or eighty percent.
But even so, it seemed to have a certain effect, the captain sighed and shook his head, and slowly told Ning Lang the reason for all this.
And when Ning Lang knew all this, what he felt in his heart was not anger, but deep sadness and that kind of powerlessness.
Decades ago, after the death of Emperor Yulin of the Great Feather Dynasty, several people who ascended to the emperor's throne died one after another, and in the end, only teenage children could sit on it.
Fortunately, it didn't take long for such a tragedy to disappear, but the resulting chaos was inevitable.
Originally, the chaos of the government and politics had nothing to do with these ordinary people, after all, whoever was the emperor was the emperor, they were still just poor worms who sacrificed taxes.
However, the Great Feather Dynasty itself was inevitably weakened, so a large number of corrupt officials were rampant, and all kinds of peasants who could not survive went up the mountain, causing social turmoil and unrest.
And the most terrible thing is that all kinds of demons and monsters that have been hidden suddenly appear in the world, causing countless tragic events.
With the rampant demons and the persecution of corrupt officials, the entire Dayu Dynasty has reached the most dangerous time.
And at this time, a Taoist arrived in the capital of the Dayu Dynasty and killed the demons that caused the chaos of the change of the throne of the Dayu Dynasty - the short-lived emperors of the Dayu Dynasty died in its hands, and then called on the people of the world to kill the demons and return the world to a bright future.
And the new emperor is also an enterprising person, and Kaike has also gained a lot of loyal people, and if it continues, it may be able to make the Dayu Dynasty break out to a new peak again.
However, the good times did not last long, and the Taoist who was named a national warrior finally encountered the most powerful demon on a demon slaying journey, and soon after fighting it, he was seriously injured and was about to die.
And if this Taoist is dead, there will be no more cultivators who can fight against the strong among the demons, and seeing that everything is going to be wiped out, the Taoist gave up his surname and talked about a condition with the demons.
Fortunately, the demon also respected the enthusiasm of the Taoist, and unexpectedly agreed to the agreement with the Taoist.
Humans by day, demons by night!
Towns and villages belong to humans, and the wilderness and wilderness belong to demons!
Intruders, unforgivable, irretrievable!
It means that during the day, it is the territory of human beings, and demons and monsters cannot appear casually, otherwise being killed by humans is self-inflicted, and they cannot take revenge or rescue, otherwise they will inevitably suffer revenge.
At night, the humans have to return to the town, otherwise the goblins will attack you with impunity if they appear in the wild.
It's such a simple thing, but it creates a strange scene.
Humans are basically cowered in towns, and they will never go out unless they have to, and they will never dare to kill demons at will, otherwise they will get into trouble.
"I see."
Ning Lang thought of the camp he saw last night, its flames could make the surrounding monsters fall to the ground unconscious without killing them, it turned out that he didn't dare to kill them, so as not to suffer retaliation.
And the flames released by those people are probably not only to avoid the arrival of those low-level monsters, but also to announce their existence, there are people behind them, don't go to them casually.
And Ning Lang ...... last night
He's killed hundreds of youkai, will those guys come to take revenge? (To be continued.) )
