On the fifteenth day of the outbreak of the beast tide, a large number of monks had died in Qinghai City.

It's night.

Li Changan and He Changkong sat at the head of the city, looking at the beast tide that had receded again.

He Changkong looked at the corpse under the city wall, opened his chapped lips, and said lonely: "A few days ago, the Wu Shan I told you about, he died. ”

Wu Shan was one of the many demon hunters guarding Qinghai City, and he died to help He Changkong block the sneak attack of the demon beasts. Hearing He Changkong's lonely tone, Li Changan nodded.

He Changkong turned his head to look at the silent Li Changan and asked, "I was born in the second year of Chengping and the seventh day of the eighth month, which year were you?"

"Why do you suddenly ask this?" Li Changan was puzzled.

He Changkong replied: "If I die first, you will set up a monument for me and write an epitaph, and if you die first, I will also help you collect the body." ”

"The first year of Chengping, February 15. Li Changan said: "Listen, are you going to leave?"

He Changkong smiled freely and said, "Don't go! Except for this Qinghai City, where else can I go?"

Li Changan asked, "Didn't you say before that when you have cultivated enough, you will have to leave Qinghai City sooner or later?"

He Changkong smiled and said, "I used to be afraid of the beast tide and spare my life, but now that I have experienced life and death, I have seen it." When the beast tide first began, I, like many people, chose to defend the city for the sake of the spar, but then I watched the people around me die one by one, and I don't know why, I don't want to leave. ”

The Han people regarded all countries other than the Han Kingdom as barbarians, and the Han Kingdom changed from a corner of the land to the great power of the Celestial Empire today, relying on courage and unyielding warfare, and relying on the arrogance of being a Han people.

The Han people were proud to be Han Chinese, monks and mortals alike, and the people of this kingdom were brave and warlike in nature, worshipping the heroes who died in battle and spurning the cowards who surrendered and fled. This time the demon beast attacked Qinghai City, which completely aroused the blood and qi in the bodies of the monks of Qinghai City, and aroused the deep-rooted nature of this nation.

Li Changan raised his head and asked, "If Qinghai City is defended, where will you go in the future?"

"When the Tiandao Kingdom went south and the Central Plains fell, my brother joined the Tiance Army and went north to defend the country, and later he died in the battle to recapture the Central Plains. He Changkong looked at the dark sky with deep eyes, "I heard that there is another war in southern Xinjiang, I! If I can really survive this time, I will go to Zhennan Army." ”

Hearing the words "Tiance Army", Li Changan was speechless.

At the other end of the road, Li Yu, who was dressed in white and stained with blood, walked towards Li Changan.

He Changkong had seen Li Yu a few times, and looking at this woman with peerless grace, He Changkong touched Li Changan's arm and said, "I'm looking for you." ”

Li Changan stood up, looked at Li Yu, and asked, "Is there something wrong?"

"Something. ”

Li Changan asked, "What's the matter?"

"The big demons gave Uncle Shi an ultimatum, and tomorrow they will attack the city in a big way. Li Yu said, "You, let's go early." ”

Li Changan shook his head and asked Li Yu, "Then when are you leaving?"

Li Yu said firmly: "I'm not leaving!"

"Why don't you go?"

Li Yu looked ahead and said: "The residents and monks of Qinghai City are all Li people of my Han Dynasty, and I am the princess of the dynasty, so I can't go, I want to work with them to guard until the last moment when the demon beast breaks the city!"

Li Changan sneered, "Qinghai City is not bad without you." ”

Li Yu shook his head, "It's a lot worse." She stared at Li Changan tightly and said: "I just want everyone in the world to know! When Qinghai City is broken, I, I am Li Yu, the princess of the Han Dynasty, Li Yu, she is standing here, at the head of Qinghai City, not retreating a single step!"

"Does it make sense?" Li Changan said: "Now you have become more naïve than me. ”

Li Yu said: "You are not me, so you won't understand!"

Li Changan didn't know what happened to Li Yu, which made this always rational person become like this; looking at Li Yu's stubborn face, Li Changan sighed and said, "Then I won't leave." ”

He Changkong scratched his head and asked, "Why don't you leave?"

"After listening to the two of you, I suddenly had a hot head, so I didn't want to leave. ”

Li Yu said lightly: "I'll die." ”

After coming out of the Ten Thousand Ghost Cave, Li Changan hadn't smiled, and after listening to Li Yu's words, the corners of Li Changan's mouth curled unconsciously, revealing an arc, "I know." ”

Li Changan smiled slightly, as warm and pure as back then.

The sun rose the next day, and millions of demon beasts, led by several big demons, walked out of the Great Wilderness Mountain one after another.

Qinghai City is surrounded by demon beasts on all sides, and the mountains are endless.

After holding on for three days, Qinghai City was completely broken.

Li Mu was covered in blood, and he led the monks to resist stubbornly.

Many people died in this battle.

The entire Qinghai City is full of demon beasts in all directions.

At this time, an old monk with kind eyebrows and kind eyes holds a bamboo reed Zen stick, slowly enters from the south city gate, the wind and sand and gunpowder smoke in the city blows the old monk wearing an old robe; the old monk is very tall, but unfortunately because of his old age, the figure is slightly slender.

The old monk's footsteps are not fast, but every step is a long distance, and in this city full of the sound of fighting, the figure of the old monk is very inconspicuous.

Finally, a demon beast found the old monk, and he pounced on the old monk with his teeth and claws.

The old monk's footsteps did not stop, he slightly raised the bamboo reed Zen staff in his hand, the Zen staff just pointed on the head of the monster beast, did not see how the old monk moved, the monster beast prostrate on the ground, and then obediently followed the footsteps of the old monk, moving forward together.

There is a long distance from the south of the city to the north of the city.

In this distance, more and more demon beasts were subdued by the old monk, and the old monk was followed by dense demon beasts.

The demon beasts of the Great Wilderness Mountain surrounded the mansion of the Qinghai City Lord, and the remaining monks of Qinghai City also gathered in the Mansion of the Central City Lord to make a final resistance.

Around He Changkong and Li Changan, there were dozens of demon beasts, and the two fought back to back. After He Changkong dealt with a wild boar demon beast, he wiped the blood on his face, "It seems that neither of us can help each other collect the corpse." ”

After Li Changan forced back the demon beast with a sword, he said, "That's really a pity." ”

As he spoke, He Changkong's hand did not stop, and he said to Li Changan: "Actually, I already know your identity. ”

Li Changan smiled and asked, "Guessed?"

"That woman, the princess who claims to be a big man, if you want to be good, you Li Changan is the king of Xiaoyao. He Changkong asked, "Isn't it a loss to die with me?"

"It's all fate, what's not to lose. ”

Li Changan exhausted the last spiritual power in his body and sent out a sword lotus, and the sword lotus exploded above the demon beast's head, and the blue light was swirling.

Faced with life and death, Li Changan, who had already calmed down, rushed into the group of beasts and carried out the final desperate effort, He Changkong held the knife and followed closely.

The old monk walked to the city lord's mansion and looked at the many demon beasts surrounding the mansion; he stood on the ground with a bamboo reed Zen staff, and let out a "bang!" sound, and the sound waves instantly spread throughout Qinghai City, and all the demon beasts fell to their knees after hearing the sound.

The old monk walked into the mansion, walked past the bowing beasts, walked to Li Yu's side, and when he faced Li Yu's outstretched right hand, a lantern flew out of Li Yu's storage bag and fell into the old monk's hand.

The old monk sang a Buddha horn, held a bamboo reed Zen staff in his left hand, and a lantern in his right hand, leading ten thousand demons out of the city.

Li Changan and He Changkong, who were back to back, gasped for breath, and the two of them collapsed to the ground after seeing this scene.
