The door of that room had been shattered, Situ Yu's mouth was full of blood, he kept coughing slightly because he had mobilized too much true qi, the clothes on his chest were stained with a large patch, and his hands were controlling the chains with charms in the room, trying to block the door and prevent the people inside from coming out.

"Big brother?" Seeing this scene, Situ Yao's expression was like thunder, completely kept in the dark, he didn't know what was hidden in this room, and wanted to come forward to help, Situ Yu's hand blocking the door waved in the air, but he also blocked him at the position of the stairs, a miserable white face was drenched in cold sweat, his head did not turn, and he yelled at him in a hoarse voice: "Go-go!" ”

Several people were all stunned, seeing Situ Yu cough up another mouthful of blood, no one moved.

"I don't have time to explain to you, Yao'er, you take them away, leave the round building, take all the people of Dongchuan into the ruins, and fortify outside." Situ Yu had already done his best just to speak, and the chains blocking the door frame shook and shook a lot, and as soon as he landed, a small stream of flames ignited, burning so that there was a strange roar inside.

"Big brother, I'll stay and help you." The sword in Situ Yao's hand was drawn, and as soon as he got closer, he was hit by a force out of thin air, and he retreated and hit the pillar.

"It's useless for you to stay." Situ Yu tilted his head, rubbed the blood on his chin on his shoulder, his voice became weaker and weaker, and said: "This is the bitter fruit that I have planted myself, and I will bear it myself, your duty is to protect the other people in Dongchuan, their lives are more important than mine, this is the mission of our Situ family's inheritance, and it is also the debt we must repay." ”

Situ Yu suddenly exerted his strength, gathered the chains that were about to be broken through again, pushed them back, took a breath, and said: "Yao'er, I am almost out of strength, I know very well how much life I have left, and I don't plan to leave alive, so it's not worth staying for me, you listen to the eldest brother, go quickly!" ”

A few drops of rain splashed on the blade of the sword that Situ Yao pulled, winding down the sword peak, flashing with the light of countless thunderbolts.

The sword was unsheathed, but it was taken back without taking part in the battle.

"Come with me." Situ Yao finally turned around and led us downstairs in a hurry, not daring to look back and linger any more.

I couldn't understand the current situation at all, so I hurriedly ran to the room and took out the backpack and put it on my back before leaving, the big battle was imminent, thinking that Ziwei's short knife was still in Bai Zhong's refining room, I don't know if there would be a chance to go around and take things out when I went to Qin Ye for a while.

Situ Yao took out some fireworks-like things from the room, and it took a lot of effort to light them in the heavy rain, and the signal exploded in the sky, and it didn't take long to cause a commotion in the silent Dong River.

The people working in the round building were all called, some wearing raincoats, and some like us, just like us, standing in the rain like this, walking outside, while obeying Situ Yao's instructions, and going to other places to evacuate the crowd.

I offered to help, and went to the vicinity of Bai Zhong's residence, Situ Yao stared at us for a few seconds, in a hurry, nodded in agreement, and soon got busy.

The four of us ran quickly in that direction, Jiang Xun took my backpack, and the person was stunned for a moment and asked me, "What did you bring?" ”

I was in a state of anxiety, not knowing what he was referring to, and said as I ran: "Shen Ji's books, Master's spiritual position, and some other trivial things, all of which I have always carried, is there anything wrong?" ”

"It's heavy." He put the bag on his back, and after I asked Ziwei to take Tang Jiao to find the others first, he asked again: "Last time you said that you went back to that ravine and found my severed limb?" ”

"But I didn't find it, it's too messy down there." I said, wiping the rain from my face, remembering why he felt heavy, "There were some strange stones in the severed limbs we fished up, and I suspected that there was some kind of spell engraved on them, so I kept them in my bag. ”

Jiang Xun didn't speak, I saw the largest house in the alley in the rain, standing there in style, guessing that it should be the Qin family, walked to the door with Jiang Xun, raised his hand and was about to knock, the door was opened a crack, it was the boy named Xiaoman I saw that day.

"Who are you looking for?" The other side stared at us warily.

"Is your young master here?" I said, "Do you remember what we saw in the alley that day?" ”

Xiao Man stared at me blankly for a few seconds, and then remembered and called out "ah", "You are the ...... A warlock who caught a female ghost with our young master. ”

I answered, Xiao Man invited us in, and said, "Just now I saw in the courtyard that the Situ family sent a signal to evacuate, and the old lady asked me to come out to see what happened, do you know?" ”

I said, "We're here to talk to your young master about this, is he there?" ”

"Yes, you sit down for a while, and I'll call the young master over immediately."

"There's no time left." I urged, "It's urgent, please hurry." ”

Xiao Man responded twice, pulled his legs and ran upstairs, shouted while running, entered a door, and after a while, Qin Ye hurriedly changed his clothes, ran down with his pile of things on his back, came to me, drenched himself in the rain, and asked, "Fellow Daoist?" What happened? ”

"In the practice room of the Situ family's round building, there has always been a person imprisoned, and now that the other party is out of control, they can't be trapped." I said: "Situ Yu is resisting the other party, the evil path on Pu Xian's side seems to have taken action, Situ Yao is preparing to take everyone to the ruins for refuge, you can also take the old lady away." ”

"My mother has Xiaoman and others to take care of her, don't worry." Qin Ye put his hand into the coat draped over his shoulder, hurriedly put it on, and said: "Tonight, the Seventh Master and the Eighth Master sent me a list, asking me to avoid the time of death of people and collect souls after five o'clock in the morning. ”

"You mean Situ Yu has run out of life?"

Qin Ye nodded, "It's strange that this time the list has the name of his father Situ Jing. ”

It is impossible for a person to die twice, his father is still alive, but tonight, the soul will have to go through a second separation.

"You said there was a person imprisoned in their practice room, can you describe to me what he looks like?" Qin Ye asked, the point of suspicion overlapped with ours.

I looked at Jiang Xun, he shook his head and frowned, "Although he is a human, he is not human." ”

Qin Ye and I were both puzzled, Jiang Xun said: "His whole face is rotten, his back is sore, his limbs have a lot of pus, walking on all fours, more like an animal's habits, when I see him, he has many parts of his body penetrated by chains, and he can't move when he leans on the bed, so it is difficult to identify his identity." ”

The first thing that came to mind in his description was the giant monster I had ever seen.

Qin Ye groaned and said, "If there is a problem with the Situ family, then do we really want the rest of the Dongchuan people to gather in the ruins?" ”

I subconsciously looked at Jiang Xun and listened to him say: "It is still impossible to determine what they think, if we let people go to other places, it will only arouse their suspicion and dissatisfaction, not to mention, the people of Dongchuan may not listen to us." ”

yes, that's their patron saint all along.

I watched the rain silently, for a moment, and said softly, "I don't think they will hurt the people of Dongchuan." ”

"Why?" Qin Ye was puzzled.

"Because their head of the house is still fighting and ready to give his life for it." I said, "Before we came out, he said that it was the bitter fruit planted by their Situ family, and he would repay it himself, and if he was deceiving us, in that case, when his body was already dying, what was he trying to do?" Moreover, there are only three people on your list of soul collectors, except for Situ and his son, which means that there was no large-scale massacre here. The Situ family may have done something against morality, but I think they really have no ill will towards this place. ”

"Then we'll do both." Jiang Xun said: "People can go to the ruins, but we must protect them. It's a big place, and there are a lot of high ground and bunkers, which are very conducive to hiding, and we can do a second line of defense within Situ Yao's defense, and if they have murderous intentions against others, we can at least delay some time for them to escape. ”

There was no other way at the moment, I nodded, and saw Xiao Man and a few other people escorting an old woman out, guessing that this might be his mother, and made an appointment to meet him in the ruins, and when Jiang Xun planned to meet Ziwei after leaving, I was in a complicated mood, pulled him, and said, "I want to find someone to help." ”

Jiang Xun looked at me, looked at me for a short time, and understood what I was thinking, "Bai Zhong? ”

I nodded and said, "He's an expert in mechanics, and if he's willing to help us with that second line of defense, there will be no problem." ”

"But he's from the Situ family."

I couldn't say it, he didn't immediately deny it, but asked me confirmatively: "Have you thought about it?" ”

I hesitated, but still hummed, "I don't think Mr. Bai is a foolish person, he knows what is the most important thing." ”

Jiang Xun didn't ask me anything anymore, nodded, and said to me, "Then let's go, go to him." ”

I was moved by his simplicity, the heart that was hanging down the head, and I also nodded, he took his hand, and walked a few steps over there, "But before that, you have to wait for me first, do me a favor." ”

"What are you going to do?" I looked up, the rain slid down my face, and I could barely open my eyes.

The corners of Jiang Xun's mouth habitually raised, without any emotion in the coldness, turned his head to me and gestured to the empty sleeve, and said, "In order to be more sure of winning, I need you to help me take my hand back first." ”
