Chapter 32: The White Tiger Nakshatra
Above the city walls.
Zuo Dao looked at the corpses all over the ground, and felt a chill rise from the bottom of his heart for no reason.
Sacrifice?
He was startled by the thought that rose in his mind.
These beasts that fled from the Black Mountain came here from afar, and frantically attacked Guobei County.
Then they were killed one by one under the city walls.
In the field, infinite blood and qi filled the field, and wisps of mysterious aura wafted out from the corpse.
Slowly rising to the sky, slowly converging and forming.
Is this what comes from the sacrifice of these Black Mountain beasts and the dead soldiers?
What exactly are these things?
He looked up at the sky, and the wisps of mystery were still converging.
But if you want to take shape, just these equivalents are not enough.
So there is a need for more beasts, or human corpses.
This may mean that this beast tide is not over, and there may be a more violent beast tide coming.
What are those mysterious breaths?
Why can it survive in the sky for a long time, and it is still trying to converge and form.
Zuo Dao stared into the sky, the thoughts in his mind turned sharply, but he still didn't have the slightest clue.
At his side, the flesh Buddha sits cross-legged on the city wall, his hands folded, like an old monk sitting in meditation.
Then.
Zhang Long walked from under the city wall and whispered to Zuodao: "My lord, the master of Guobei County wanted to leave from the city gate on the other side, but was stopped by the brocade guards who came from outside. ”
Zuo Dao came back to his senses and said, "Master of Guobei County? ”
Zhang Long said: "It was the person we saw when we came down from Lanruo Temple, and now he is being detained at the city gate. ”
Left said: "Bring it up." ”
When Zhang Long heard this, he answered, and then hurried towards the city.
At this moment, many soldiers on the city wall have been rotated, and many people in the city are carrying war supplies.
This Guobei County is not a big city, and there are not many soldiers stationed in it.
Counting the county officials, there are only a few hundred people.
Now most of these hundreds of people have been transferred to the city wall, and the rest of the city gates are garrisoned by brocade guards and the rest of the soldiers.
The people of the city had already been mobilized to carry supplies, prepare food and water.
Because only when the whole city is united can they resist this beast tide.
Soon, the master of the county government of Guobei County was lifted to the city wall.
The master was held in Zhang Long's hand, his body trembled uncontrollably, and after seeing Zuo Dao, he cried even more.
"My lord, that incident has nothing to do with the small one, it was all forced by the county magistrate."
Zhang Long stepped forward, opened the gate of the city tower, and then threw the master in.
After Zuo Dao entered the city tower, Zhang Long closed the door.
There are two brocade guards guarding the door, and there is a flesh Buddha sitting on the city wall.
The soldiers who defended the city did not squint one by one, for fear of being found out of something.
Inside the castle tower.
Zuo Dao sat on the Taishi chair, looked at the kneeling master in front of him, and said, "Tell me everything you know." ”
When the master heard this, his voice trembled and said: "When you first arrived, you broke the county magistrate's murder of good and risky merit, and the county magistrate held a grudge. ”
"After the adults left, he asked the village elders to go down to look for Niujia Village."
"Tell the village elders that the adults are high-ranking officials from Kyoto, and their strength is extraordinary, and they will definitely be able to help them find the lost villagers."
"I just want to use this to introduce the adults into Lanruo Temple and get rid of them by the hands of the big demons."
After finishing speaking, the master knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, saying, "My lord, this matter ...... The small one is really forced, the small one is just a master, to put it bluntly, it is the dog leg of the county order, if the small one does not obey, he will die. ”
When Zhang Long heard this, a ruthless color flashed in his eyes, and he said: "I see, it is really the same as the adults expected, it seems that the dog official died too lightly." ”
Zuo Dao looked at the master in front of him and said, "What else?" There is a connection between your Guobei County and Linya City. ”
The master hurriedly said: "The county order is a disciple of the Fan City Lord of Linya City, and he was taught to be under the Fan City Lord in the early years, and some time ago there were people from Linya City, and he had a secret conversation with the adults for a long time. ”
Zuo Dao frowned slightly, and said, "Go on, what did they talk about?" ”
The master said with a sneering face: "During the secret talk, only the county commander was present, and the little one didn't know what they talked about. ”
Hearing this, Zuo Dao said with a smile: "If that's the case, you're useless." ”
When the master heard this, his body shook instantly, and then he hurriedly said, "It's useful, the small one is useful." ”
The master raised his head and glanced at Zuo Dao, and then spoke: "I heard from the county commander before, saying that the city lord Fan seems to be looking for something for people, maybe someone from Linya City came to talk about this matter some time ago." ”
"And my county order also has a habit, the secret letters from Linya City are never burned, they are all collected in the secret pavilion, and the little ones know where the secret pavilion is."
When Zuo Dao heard this, he said: "Zhang Long, you go with him, if he lies, kill him directly." ”
When Zhang Long heard this, he arched his hand and said, "Yes, my lord." ”
Immediately, he glanced at Zuo Dao and asked, "My lord, when the county commander's family heard about the death of the county commander, they were going to flee with their family this evening, and they were taken down by us, and I don't know what to do?" ”
Zuo Dao said casually: "Kill them all!" ”
Zhang Long bowed his hand slightly, and then left the city tower with his master and walked towards the city wall.
Zuo Dao stood on top of the city wall and continued to look at the mysterious aura that was slowly condensing.
In his eyes, two small words slowly emerged: White Tiger.
Perhaps the mysterious aura condensed too slowly, or too rarely, making the font almost invisible at the back.
Zuo Dao muttered in his mouth: "White Tiger." ”
It was the first time he had encountered such a situation, and there were only two words in his eyes, and the rest of the font was blurred.
Could it be that the mysterious aura is too scarce?
But what does the word white tiger represent?
It is one of the four elephants of the Seven Stars of Taoism in the West.
He vaguely remembered that in Taoism, the white tiger was one of the four divine beasts, ranked in the west, belonged to gold, and was the main killer.
Killing?
Zuo Dao's mind flashed with inspiration, and he looked down at the corpses lying all over the ground under the city wall.
A bold thought suddenly rose in my heart.
Could it be that behind this beast tide, what the promoters want is endless killing.
Whether it is the fierce beast of Montenegro, or the people of Guobei County.
All it asks for is to die as much as possible.
The more you die, the more mysterious the word "White Tiger" will be.
In this way, the faster he can take shape.
What it seeks is the product of this mysterious aura converging and forming?
The thing with the word white tiger on it.
Zuo Dao looked up at the sky, and saw that the seven western houses of the twenty-eight nights were brighter and brighter than before.
Hanging in the night sky, like a tiger.
Zuo Dao's thoughts were racing in his heart, and he felt as if he had caught something.
Perhaps this is the reason behind the beast tide.
