Chapter 162: Ma Lu I
In the city of Huangzhou, people are panicking.
This heavily garrisoned city has resisted several attacks by demon beasts, which was supposed to be a thing worth celebrating, but no one from the officials to the people was happy.
In the streets and alleys, countless armor soldiers patrolled in several teams, and everyone's heartstrings were tense, as if they were facing a great enemy, as if a demon beast would come out at any time to devour them.
Since half a month ago, a large number of disappearances have continued to occur in the city, and every day entire families have disappeared inexplicably, sometimes three or five families disappear overnight, and there is no body or blood, except for an unfathomable hole found at the scene of the crime.
Today, there are five or six hundred people who have not seen anyone or a corpse, and the people of the whole city are terrified because of this.
On the tower of the city, several officials were discussing their opinions worriedly, these days, they did not even dare to return home, they have been living on this towering tower, and did not dare to leave for a moment, for fear that the monster underground would suddenly come out and eat people.
Since the disappearance of the former Taishou family, all the people of some power or net worth have been frightened, and they have dragged their families and set up tents on the city wall, crowding the passage for hundreds of miles.
Ordinary people in the city no longer dare to live at home, and they have moved to the streets, densely clustered together, as if this can bring some security.
The successor sighed at the seemingly lively situation in the city, and said, "Increase the reward by 10,000 taels, let those big families get together their share, and if they are stingy, they will drive them down the city." ”
The person who looked like a general on the side shook his head, "It's no longer a matter of how much money there is, none of the three good hands have come back, I'm afraid that no one is willing to send them to death again." ”
Taishou smiled bitterly: "What can you do about it?
There was silence all around, and no one answered.
Since the frequent occurrence of demon disasters, there has always been a result in a bloody battle with real knives and guns, but like this kind of monster that hides underground and sneaks up from time to time, everyone is helpless to take it.
What is this that makes the climate?
The monster is good at making holes, digging holes in the ground, suddenly attacking humans, and quickly returning to the ground afterwards, so it is impossible to prevent it. Some people are already worried that if there are too many cavities in the ground, causing a large area of buildings or walls to collapse, it will be a catastrophe.
If you lose the fortified city, what will you do to defend against the invading demon beasts?
Everyone was relatively speechless, and suddenly someone pointed to the sky and said in a lost voice: "Look, everyone, there are immortals coming!"
A group of people followed the reputation, and the eyesight was already seeing a black dot in the sky flying rapidly in this direction, and it could be vaguely seen that it was a human form.
Taishou perked up his spirits and hurriedly ordered: "Quick, quick! Gather the whole city to bow down to the immortals, and beg the immortals to kill the demons!!"
The pre-organized process was implemented all the way, one spread ten, ten spread hundreds, and soon spread all over half of Huangzhou City, all the people knelt down and kowtowed, even the officials were no exception, for a time the crowd shouted, the sound shook the four fields, but at the beginning it was roughly neat and unified, and after shouting twice, it was chaotic, but it was enough to spread far away......
It's just that everyone has no bottom in their hearts, and the immortals who have flown in the sky these days are not the first, but none of them are willing to stay for a while, and this time is probably no exception, right?
Someone saw the black dot hanging in the sky and paused, then flew down, and couldn't help but shout excitedly: "Immortal mercy!!
......
"What?"
Zhang Yuan stepped on the flying sword and stood steadily in the air a few feet away from the head of the city, and the officials felt a burst of surprise and amazement in their hearts, and the young people of the other party were also amazed because they saw the monk at close range for the first time.
Taishou took a deep look, and said sincerely: "I didn't dare to bother the immortals, but the monsters hurt people, and the gods were haunted in the ground, so we had nothing to do with it, only to pray that the immortals would exert their magical powers, and in addition to this harm for the 100,000 people of Huangzhou, we should set up an immortal tablet, and the world will worship it to thank you!"
As he spoke, he bowed to the ground again.
When Zhang Yuan heard this, the stars flashed in his eyes, and he peeked at his feet one by one with the eyes of the Yang God, through the houses, through the layers of soil, and countless slowly wriggling small insects came into his eyes.
Suddenly, a huge strip-like creature caught his attention, and he saw the turbid qi and blood surging inside the demon object and the mountains of white bones piled up nearby.
"A demonized Malu?"
Zhang Yuan pondered slightly, feeling a little tricky.
It's not that this monster is too powerful, but it's too deep, and it's extremely cautious and timid, and it quickly slips back into the soil if something goes wrong.
Originally, this was nothing, but his memories of his previous life had a deep impression of this Ma Lu, that is, no matter how many pieces of his body were cut, he could squirm and scatter and escape, and finally pick it up again in the soil.
This characteristic makes mortals helpless against it.
"I will try to kill this demon, and you will let the people go back to their homes and wait for news. ”
Zhang Yuan gave an order, then turned around and flew towards the city.
Taishou then stood up and wiped the sweat from his forehead. He felt that the pressure that this young man brought to him was far greater than the pressure when he met the Son of Heaven.
Because this kind of pressure is no longer the disparity in status or the illusion caused by some psychological hints, but the essential gap in the body, just the spiritual pressure swirling in the sea of Zhang Yuanqi's qi is enough to make mortals' heartbeat weaken and blood flow slow.
"It's okay, it's okay, there are immortals to make a move, and I don't have to worry about Huangzhou!" Taishou sighed on his knees.
The general on the side had a suspicious look on his face, and after hesitating for a while, he finally couldn't help but say: "Why does Xia Guan think that the immortal is very familiar, as if he has seen ...... somewhere." ”
He once served in Beijing, so he naturally saw Zhang Yuan, a famous monarch killer, but six years later, Zhang Yuan's appearance was the same as at the beginning, and of course he recognized it at a glance.
In addition to being incomprehensible, it is shocked and unbelievable, but so what? A member of the encirclement and suppression of the army back then can only look up and kneel.
The sky gradually darkened, the city was dotted with stars, and the smoke curled, exuding a kind of peace and warmth unique to the world.
In his previous life, he was also one of these thousands of lights, and now looking back on the past, it is as far away as a lifetime.
The night breeze blew, and I suddenly felt a chill in my heart...... Under this unpredictable way of heaven, what is the difference between a mortal and a monk? Both of them follow the trend and follow the sky, but one is a dog, and the other has the qualifications to walk on the chessboard and becomes a chess piece involuntarily.
It's just that the scenes in these heavens and worlds are changing, and is there a person who is holding chess and secretly manipulating the direction of the future?
Suddenly, a golden light flashed in Zhang Yuan's eyes, and the Ma Lu lurking in the ground finally moved.
