"Knock !!" The big bell made a huge sound, shaking Ping's ears buzzing, his brain was a little dizzy, keeping in mind that Liu Si said that the two sounds were a rhythm, Pingyi's hands holding the iron rope, his body tilted to the right, and he lifted it vigorously in the direction of the giant tree, and then fell heavily, "Bang!! "The second bell rang, and there was no breath between the first.

Heiichi grabbed the giant tree that bounced up for the second time, and after two breaths, the giant tree fell down heavily, bounced up again, and fell again! The two bells of the second rhythm rang out loudly, Heiyi grabbed the giant tree, his eardrums hurt, his eyes were dizzy, and he tried his best to stabilize his body between the two breaths, and then controlled the giant tree to crash into the big bell again...

"Knock~Knock, Knock~Knock, Knock~Knock..."

Liu Si downstairs listened to the rhythmic bell, and laughed in his heart: This kid from the Ping family is good, and he can be recommended to follow the captain to learn martial arts, and join the city guard in the future.

Heiichi closed his eyes tightly, and Venus seemed to flash in front of him. With his back against the wall, he gasped loudly, and his hands kept tapping his ears to relieve the buzzing sound in his ears. There was about half a pillar of incense, and Ping Yi came to his senses and slowly descended the city gate tower by holding on to the wall.

Looking at the city gate, Liu Si was heavy, facing the outside of the city, holding a spear in both hands and sticking to the ground, as if there was an invisible enemy outside the city.

Qiang Qiang, there was the sound of heavy armor soldiers walking behind him, and when Ping turned around, he saw Zhang Umbrella following a white-robed armor soldier towards the city gate.

Heiichi moved to the side of the city gate and got out of the way.

Liu Si under the city gate turned around, walked to the white-robed armor soldier, clasped his fists in front of his chest, leaned forward slightly, and said: "Report to the captain, there may be a big change outside the city."

The white-robed armor man frowned, listening to Liu Si finish what he had just said, and remembering Zhang Yu's report and the three or second ringing alarm bells he heard on the road, he was solemn in his heart, without too much speech, and walked towards the city gate, obviously to test the law and personally experience what happened to Liu Si.

When the white-robed armor man walked to the gate of the city, he saw that he raised his right hand, and a layer of blue light appeared on his hand, and then stretched out his right hand outside the city. Liu Si held his breath and looked at the layer of blue light, which was the unique cultivation method of the city lord's internal guard, and his eyes showed envy and awe.

The white-robed armor soldier slowly withdrew his right hand, lowered his head, and pondered, he just stretched out his hand and used his aura to protect his body, and he didn't feel the situation that Liu Si said, but Liu Si has always been calm, and he will never take this matter, not to mention that he also sounded the third-level alarm bell.

The white-robed armor man paused, stretched out his right hand again, but this time he didn't use the aura to protect his body, the outstretched right hand stayed for three breaths, and suddenly quickly retracted, turned around, and could see the horror on his face.

Without waiting for Liu Si to ask, I saw a white-robed armor soldier jumping up to the three-zhang high city gate tower, the blue light in his right hand appeared, facing the big bell is a palm, covering his ears consciously, but seeing the big bell motionless, he was puzzled, and suddenly saw a thick golden light emerging from the top of the big bell, rising to the sky, and then the remaining three city gates appeared in turn, four golden lights converged on the top of the light city, and then sprinkled a circle of light curtains, shrouded the light city from top to bottom, and then gradually disappeared.

Seeing the formation open, the white-robed armor warrior seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. After doing this, the white-robed armor soldier looked back at Liu Si and Zhang Umbrella and ordered: "If someone outside the city comes back, holding this token can make them enter the city, the outside of the city is already a dangerous place, there is an unknown evil that is absorbing life, don't go out of the city unless necessary, I will go to the city lord's mansion to report this matter to the city lord!" Then he looked at the heavy armor soldiers who came, and said, "You are here to cooperate with Liu Si and Zhang Umbrella to guard the east gate, and those who cannot verify their identity are not allowed to enter, mainly Liu Si!" ”

"Yes!" The heavy armoured soldiers then stood on both sides of the city gate.

The white-robed armor soldier got up and ran towards the City Lord's Mansion, and when he left, a token glowing with blue light flew towards Liu Si.

Liu Si took the token, looked at Ping Yi who was full of anxiety on the side, and greeted, "That kid from the Ping family, come here." ”

Ping Yi walked over, his eyes revealing crampedness and uneasiness: "Brother Liu, my father and mother are still outside the city and have not returned, I heard the captain say that there is a danger outside the city, I want to save my father and mother, please Brother Liu help me!" As he spoke, he hugged his fists and bowed to Liu Si.

Liu Si raised his hand, patted Pingyi's shoulder and sighed, and said: "Heijia boy, do you know what vitality is", looking at Pingyi, who knew nothing, Liu Si continued: "Vitality is the foundation of human life, the opportunity to survive, the essence of the body, the body is the soul, but everything that has vitality, losing vitality is equivalent to death." ”

"Now there is a danger outside the city that is drawing life, and if it were not for the big bell to protect it, I am afraid that the city would have suffered. This is beyond our reach, and I know you're worried about your parents' well-being, but it's best to stay in the city for now. ”

When Ping Yi heard this, he felt bitter in his heart, thinking of the safety of his parents, his heart became more and more anxious, and he was about to borrow a horse from Liu Si to pick up his father and mother outside the city, but he saw more than ten figures lacking blue light rising into the sky in the direction of the city lord's mansion, and then galloped towards the east.

Liu Si retracted his gaze, looked at Zhang Umbrella and said, "I'll go outside the city to pick up Pingyi's father and mother, you take this token and guard the city gate." After speaking, Liu Si went to the horse stall next to the city gate and led a horse out.

Zhang Umbrella took the token and said to Liu Si: "The news revealed by the caravan over there at the Red Leaf Tea Shop is that they did not encounter an attack when they passed by the cemetery, but they felt weak within the scope of the clouds, and they thought that it was the reason why the yin qi of the cemetery was too heavy, and now it seems that it is in the center of this matter, and the vicinity of Guangcheng should only be the aftermath, you must not approach the cemetery." ”

Liu Si muttered, "The head of the Ping family used to save my life, and I had to go this time, but the field where the Ping family was sealed is five or six miles to the east, and there is still some distance from the tomb forest. ”

Liu Si looked at Ping Yi again: "Ping family boy, stay in the city, your father and mother will hand it over to me" After speaking, without waiting for Ping Yi to answer, he rode out of the city gate and headed east.

Ping opened his mouth, but he couldn't speak. Standing in Liu Si's position guarding the city gate, he stood opposite Zhang Umbrella.

Zhang Umbrella looked at Ping Yi and grinned: "Of course, the peaceful and prosperous era is to live and work in peace and contentment, and it is not necessary for everyone to practice martial arts, and they can govern the country from literature, economics and business, which is also a kind of power." ”

Ping nodded, but he was silent and didn't speak.

Zhang Umbrella took out a pot of wine from his back, opened his mouth to take a sip, exhaled casually, said "cool", and then handed out the wine jug and shook it in the air.

Pingyi looked at Zhang Umbrella, took Zhang Umbrella and threw over the wine jug, and also learned to open his mouth and take a sip, but he was choked with tears in his eyes, and said: "This wine is really strong, the throat is like a fire, where is it cool." Then he threw the flask back.

Zhang Umbrella laughed, took the wine jug and took another big sip, tsk, I don't know the taste of wine when I am young, and I treat the tea as a treasure, tsk.

Ping Yi pursed his mouth, but his heart calmed down.

The sun was about to set, the sky was slowly darkening, and outside the city gate, I vaguely saw a group of people galloping on horseback, coming towards the city of light, Ping Yi clasped his hands tightly, staring at the team of people, hoping to see the faces of his father and mother.

Zhang Umbrella's eyesight was obviously much higher than that of Pingyi, who had not practiced martial arts, and when he saw the team of people, he went up to the city gate tower with a token in his hand, and the token was pasted with a big bell, ready to let people in.

The sound of horses' hooves getting closer and closer, and Ping Yi saw the faces of his father and mother, as well as Brother Liu Si on the side. Ping Yi shouted at the outside of the city: "Father and mother, Brother Liu Si!" ”

Zhang Umbrella upstairs pouted, this kid is still a teenager under the age of thirteen after all, and when he will take a pastry to find out the news, he will be much calmer than this.

The Ping family, who entered the city, thanked Liu Si and said goodbye and went home. After Pingyi returned home, he saw that his father and mother were temporarily fine, and after some cold and warmth, he wrapped some pastries and secretly went to the east city gate.

As the sky gets darker, lanterns are hung at the doors of the shops on the street, illuminating the street and Heiyi's heart.

Suddenly, twenty miles to the east, next to the clouds, bloomed a strong blue light, this blue light has not yet dissipated, another blue light shines in the night sky, and then eight or nine blue lights burst out one after another, the strong blue light concentrated outbreak, actually tore the clouds, split into two from the middle, and when the blue light dissipated, Ping Yi heard dozens of dull sounds, presumably the sound of the blue light eruption.

When Ping Yi arrived at the East City Gate wrapped in pastries, he saw Liu Si and Zhang Umbrella all pale one by one. Heiichi hurriedly ran to the front and asked what had happened.

Liu Si's voice trembled: "The dozens of blue light eruptions just now are the dozens of people who came out of the City Lord's Mansion in the afternoon, if my guess is right, they should have burst out of the spiritual power in their bodies, and they will be wiped out with the things in the clouds."

Heiichi was silent, not knowing how to speak.

Looking up at the gradually dark sky, he suddenly found a cyan figure in the sky above the Light City, hunched over, dragging a cyan spear in his hand, staring up at the depths of the sky, as if there was something dangerous in the sky.

Liu Si and Zhang Umbrella also saw the cyan figure, and Zhang Umbrella opened his mouth: That should be the city lord. The two of them followed the gaze of the city lord, condensed their eyes, and vaguely saw a huge face formed by clouds in the sky, bent the corners of their mouths, and their eyes revealed evil, when they saw this face, Zhang Umbrella and Liu Si's bodies were shocked, and blood flowed from the corners of their eyes.

At this time, the right hand of the cyan figure holding the gun suddenly moved, the tip of the spear cut through the air, pointing at the giant face in the sky, a cyan dragon condensed from the tip of the spear, roaring and rushing into the sky, the city lord of the city of light followed, and a huge cyan phantom appeared on his body, the phantom seemed to reach the sky, and the appearance of this phantom was exactly the same as the city lord.

A violent explosion came from the depths of the sky, the city of light seemed to be trembling, cyan points of light scattered down, sprinkled all over every corner of the city of light, a huge face descended, and the eyes skimmed the formation of the four bells, the four bells turned into powder silently, and the strong coercion made the people in the city stand unsteadily and prostrate on the ground.

Ping Yi bowed his body, blood flowed from the corners of his mouth, turned his head with difficulty, and saw Liu Si and Zhang Umbrella beside him, the two of them clenched their fists, their whole bodies trembled, and suddenly, Ping Yi saw the decision in the eyes of the two, the two of them jumped up, jumped up on the city tower, and then shouted and raised their fists and rushed to the giant face.

The group of heavy-armored soldiers brought by the white-robed armor soldiers followed closely behind, and the spears in their hands shot into the sky.

Ping Yi raised his head and looked at the sky, the evil giant face revealed indifference and evil in his eyes, opened his big mouth, and the scattered blue light and the umbrella Liu Si who rushed towards the giant face were all swallowed by him.

Heiichi's body trembled, the blood from the corners of his mouth flowed down his neck to his shoulders and arms, wanting to do something, but he didn't know what he could do, anger and unwillingness filled Heiichi's mind, Heiichi took out the only tattered tile on his body that could be used as a weapon, and wanted to slash this huge face.

However, before Heiichi's raised arm could be fully swung out, the vitality quietly passed away, and the body froze in place, and the body gradually thinned until only a skeleton remained, converging into wisps of green air, flowing towards the giant face, and being swallowed by the giant face one by one.

In an instant, tens of millions of people in the city turned into dry bones, and the redbud flowers withered, and were scattered by a gust of wind between heaven and earth.

The giant face smacked his lips, as if he was still unsatisfied, and gradually disappeared into the sky.

The night was deep, and the city of light was dead and silent, with only a faint halo of light emanating from a tattered tile.
