There is also a shift in the evening

——————————

Nancheng.

The rainstorm will stop, there are scattered raindrops falling in the night sky, the air is filled with the pure heart after the rain, from near to far, the night is like ink to the color of azure, and then to the east, the junction of the sky and the sea, gradually blur a layer of brilliant gold, the morning light appears.

Not long after, in the hazy morning, there are people walking briskly to the West City Gate, under the morning light, it can be seen that most of the people who walk have a layer of bronzed skin, which is a long-term work in the fields to dry, this group of farmers and women who make a living from farm work have a worried look on their faces, frowning, seeing that there are acquaintances and hurriedly get together, their feet do not stop, and their mouths are chatting in Nancheng dialect.

"What strange noises did you hear last night? like a monster howling in the mountains."

"Yes, I live close to the outskirts of Xicheng, and do you feel the earthquake?"

They nodded, and passed by an old man who seemed to have heard their conversation, and said:

"I've lived here for 70 years, and I've never seen such a heavy rain, and there's an earthquake here, it's a flash flood, and there's no mistake! It's so close to the foot of the mountain, and I don't know what happened to the fields, so go and see it." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone nodded, and their faces were even more worried, and a middle-aged man continued:

"Not only was it raining heavily, but last night the thunder hit one after another, and the sky was about to fall!"

Suddenly remembered something, and said in surprise:

"And when I got up at night, I saw a pillar of light on Tianhu Mountain plunging straight into the sky, and I don't know which immortal cast a spell in the mountain..."

When the man said the second half of the sentence, his voice was very low, and his eyes were moving around, cautiously, for fear that others would hear.

The old man behind him seemed to have very bright ears, and said:

"That's a bad omen! That's the demon light! The demon clan is coming!"

Everyone is a little disapproving, the chaos of the demon clan is usually in the northern border of Zeshui country, never went south to invade the border, Nancheng was once peaceful, many people have not seen monsters since they were born, only some porters who went up the mountain to collect medicine have met demon beasts a few times, and they were beaten to death by a brute force of ordinary people and vulgar people, so the people of Nancheng don't pay much attention to the monsters, but they don't dare to go too deep into the mountains, after all, there are some bold men who have gone into the depths of the mountains over the years, but they have not returned.

One of the women said:

"It doesn't matter what happened to him, as long as our fields are still there, it's better than anything!"

As soon as the words fell, everyone agreed.

For the people who depend on agriculture for their livelihood, what is more important than their own fields.

At this time, two neatly dressed men walked towards everyone, leisurely shaking fans.

Some of the farmers knew them, they were often storytellers in the Nancheng wine shop, and they talked about the past and the present, and talked about everything. Before they could get closer, they could hear them talking.

"So many demon beasts, all rushed down from the mountain..."

"Isn't it, those two-tall one-horned wolves are nailed to the earthen wall like this, and it's weird..."

"Look at the broken rocks and broken trees all over the place, I guess they washed down from the mountain. ”

"If it weren't for that wall, I'm afraid these demon beasts would have been rushed into the city, and the people would have suffered..."

"Do you see those black-clothed men on the west gate, they are the monks of the City Lord's Mansion, I think they made this wall. ”

"Can't be wrong, can't be wrong, it's so big, in less than half an hour, the people of the City Lord's Mansion will come out to suppress it, and the news will definitely be blocked, fortunately, this time it came early, and this time I have to say it in Xinghualou, maybe I can earn a few dozen taels of silver." ”

"Alas, it's a pity that the farmland at the foot of the mountain has been destroyed, and I don't know what will happen to the peasants who make a living from it. ”

"Natural and man-made disasters, the City Lord's Mansion will come forward..."

Hearing this, the peasants lost their voices and hurried away, just walked on Ziwei Street, and saw from a distance outside the west city gate, revealing a large earthen wall higher than the city wall, under the city gate, about 100 people, stopped to look up, from time to time to bow their heads to talk. When they got closer, the sound of discussion was endless, and the air was filled with a thick smell of blood, and the bolder men went around the earthen wall and saw a terrifying scene, and were dumbfounded. The children who came with the adults were blindfolded, or they were carried and fled.

Within a radius of ten miles, there are corpses of demon beasts everywhere, and the original mountains and greenery are covered with thick soil, and the traces of the mud flow are endless, and the top of the Tianhu Mountain submerged in the clouds pours all the way down.

Most of the corpses of the demon beasts were incomplete, with broken limbs, the most eye-catching of which was a one-horned demon wolf, with a two-person tall body, nailed straight to the earthen wall by a thick tree trunk, and blood flowed down the wall to the ground, at this time, the original yellow-brown land was stained red with blood.

The most painful thing for everyone is that most of the 100 acres of farmland at the foot of the mountain have been washed away by the mudflow, and most of the agricultural products that have been planted in autumn and harvested in summer have been soaked in demon blood, wilted and collapsed, and the remaining half has also been infected with bright red demon blood.

At the edge of the field, there were many peasant couples, crying.

After a short time, a group of officers and soldiers on war horses and dressed in black armor arrived and began to drive the people back to the city, and the unwilling peasants pulled the officers and soldiers, crying for the lord of the city to save them.

The young officers and soldiers did not reply, but blindly brought them all back to the city, one of the officers and soldiers in the front, the war horse under the crotch is much larger than the average size, the body on the horseback is extremely strong, under the armor is a bulging muscle, gathering surging tension, people are respectful, someone present recognized that this person is one of the left arm and right arm of the city lord, the city captain who commands the Nancheng city guard, the martial artist of the Nine Realms, Gu Changshan.

He raised his hand to signal the people to be quiet, and said in a deep voice:

"The city lord has known about this, and has immediately ordered someone to transfer official money from the treasury to help everyone, as long as there is good land registered in the city lord's mansion and destroyed by mud and demon blood, each household can get ten taels of silver to help, and the city lord's mansion will be in the southern suburbs, another good land for farmers to continue farming, now, please cooperate and return to the city. One last point..."

At this time, he paused, looked at the people who had been quiet, and continued:

"Today's events, please don't spread it, don't talk about it, to confuse people's hearts, if you find it, kill it on the spot!"

Gu Changshan's last powerful words, which were straightforward, were terrifying.

No one objected to the decision of the City Lord's Mansion, after all, ten taels of compensation per household, and there was also another good land to do, which was enough.

As for the secrecy on this matter, the people present have become accustomed to it, and the meaning of the city lord's mansion is also the meaning of the government, and the government's resolution is extremely cautious from beginning to end.

However, someone in the crowd couldn't help but ask:

"Why didn't the city lord come?"

"yes, why didn't you see him come when something so big happened..."

Gu Changshan shouted coldly:

"Presumptuous! The city lord has already started to dispatch the matter overnight, and he has to choose another good land for you, and he has ordered me to come early, isn't it enough for me to Gu Changshan to be here!"

Gu Changshan's electric eyes were like torches, his voice was like thunder, and the people who were swept by him seemed to be in their hearts.

The people present didn't say much, just looked at their fields and beat their chests.

Some sharp-eyed people found that in the mud flow that had condensed, there were several human corpses mixed with the corpses of several human beings, and the white battle armor they wore was quite familiar.

was about to tell his companions around him, when he suddenly remembered Gu Changshan's advice, looked at him, and happened to bump into his cannibalistic eyes impartially, and immediately swallowed the words he was about to say.

Above the city gate, there were several people in black power suits standing quietly, who were none other than the monks of the City Lord's Mansion.

They looked at the earthen wall blocking the mudflow, the corpses of the demon beasts everywhere, and secretly relieved, if they were not ordered by the city lord to appear in time, they joined forces to intercept this mighty mudslide, and in the mudflow, they also had to kill the demon beasts that had not yet lost their breath, otherwise they would be washed into the city by the mudflow, it would be out of control.

Among the men in black, there was also a leader who looked somewhere in the city and muttered:

"My lord, why are you going to the Lin Mansion at this time?"

—————

Nancheng Lin Mansion, the main hall of the house.

Lin Zaitian was lying on the bed with a person, covered with injuries, the original white cloud blue robe had been stained red with blood, Lin Zaitian sat on the edge of the bed, one hand on the pulse, and the continuous cyan aura in his body was transmitted to the familiar person in front of him.

Lin Zaitian's face had a look of remorse, anger, and distress, which flashed frequently on his face.

He whispered in his mouth:

"Fourth brother, you have to hold on, Changde will be here soon, you know, he is the most experienced in demon injuries. ”

The injured person was none other than the head of the Law Enforcement Hall, Lin Zaixue.

After listening to Lin Zaitian's words, he couldn't speak, just nodded with difficulty.

Lin Zaitian turned his head, and next to him stood the second brother Lin Zaibei, who had already rushed back, and the latter motioned for a person who was sitting on top of the guest seat, the same

The bloodied man continued. Next to him, Guo Zhen was bandaging him.

Lin Zun stood beside him and saw that there were not many injuries on his body, and the blood on his clothes was mostly splashed with the blood of the enemy.

The man had an obvious scar on his face, and it was none other than the number one military general of the Law Enforcement Hall, Sha Tian.

I only heard him recall with palpitations:

"Back to the mansion master, at that time, we easily swept away the bandits, took the robbed elixir and prepared to return to the house. At this moment, that monster suddenly appeared alone, and with his own strength, he killed half of us in an instant, and the hall master couldn't hold up a hundred moves in his hands. ”

He paused, his eyes were red, he gritted his teeth, and said:

"I'm invincible, seeing that monster is about to take my life, it was the hall master who blocked me in front of me in time, and I was hit by that monster, so it became like this..."

林在天 says:

"Can you see clearly, there's only one monster?"

"The subordinates can really see it, he is indeed the only one, but the demon magic launched is very weird, setting off the yellow sand in the sky, each one is like a deadly arrow, and even the shield made of spiritual power can't resist it, it's like it is as fragile as tofu in front of him!"

Lin Zaibei frowned when he heard this, bent down and whispered in Lin Zaitian's ear:

"Big brother, the strength of the fourth brother, even if he is deprived of it, is also the peak of the Xuanhai Realm, he is so defeated in the hands of that monster, then the other party is also a demon star!"

Lin Zaitian nodded, and he kept repeating the words of the year in his mind:

"The demon star is in the sky, and the demon is coming!"

He shook off the words that were lingering in his head and asked:

"Didn't the fourth brother use his soul-locking whalebone spear?"

Evil Heaven replied:

"Yes, yes! The soul-locking whalebone spear fell from the sky like a god, and trapped the monster in an instant, we all thought that the hall master had won, and was about to cheer, but the hall master shouted for us to withdraw quickly, and when we were hesitating, the monster actually broke free from the soul-locking whalebone spear, and it was even more violent, destroying all the remaining heavenly machine army, and the hall master fought for half a life to trap him again, and the two of us were able to escape back...."

Lin Zaitian's brows furrowed even more, and he muttered to himself:

"I want the fourth brother to fight to this extent, when did such a powerful monster appear in the demon clan. ”

At that moment, he hurriedly asked Shatian to tell the specific appearance of the monster in detail, saying that he used demon magic, and after listening to it, Lin Zaitian suddenly realized, and said in a lost voice:

"It's him, it must be him! No wonder the fourth brother will be invincible, the first time the whalebone gun locked him, the fourth brother should have known his identity, so he would let you withdraw. In the face of his appearance, you really have no other way but to flee for your life!"

Lin Zun couldn't help asking:

"Uncle, do you know this monster?"

Lin Zaitian nodded and said:

"Of course I do, all five of us, including your father. ”

Lin Zun asked:

"Who the hell is he?"

林在天 says:

"One of the five demon stars of the demon clan, the Paradise Earthworm!"
