Sword Falling Red Dust (continued) Taran at night

Sometimes, the collapse of faith may be continuous, or it may be only overnight, or even for a moment.

This is the case with this group of nomads, known as the Wanderers.

Most of them are civilians who have lived in Taran City since birth, including monks, demon cultivators, and ordinary mortals.

However, on a certain day, they witnessed the sudden transformation of the city of Taran, from an empty alley to a lonely person, and also saw the faith in their hearts, and they abandoned them without saying anything.

They themselves don't know if it's because of their lack of faith that they became survivors, or if they were survivors first and then witnessed everything that led to the collapse of their faith.

But in any case, they no longer believe in everything about Buddhism, and the direct consequence of this is that some cultivators who are mainly practicing Buddhism have directly plummeted.

But so what, as long as they save their lives and lose their cultivation, they are also willing.

Since that day's incident, the Leavers have been wandering around the city of Taran like wandering spirits for a long time.

But they didn't dare to be too presumptuous, not to mention mortals, there was always fear in their hearts, and the monks who had fallen in the realm did not dare to trespass at will because they understood that there were prohibitions and magic circles that could run automatically in many temples.

Maybe only Xu Cheng and Zhang Mo have the strength of the Wendao realm, and at the same time, they are still the peak cultivation of the demon monarch on the surface, so they dare to move around at will.

The departers have been slowly exploring the areas that can be safely entered over the years, after all, in a closed city with no outside output, living materials are always gradually consumed.

Today, during an extremely ordinary search for supplies, they unexpectedly found that the northern gate had been opened, and a gap could accommodate people to enter.

It excites them.

You must know that they have been trapped in the city for so many years, not because they don't want to leave the city, they are also afraid that something will happen in the city.

However, the highest realm is only a group of people in the realm of Lizen, which is equivalent to building a foundation and cultivating some qi refining and mortals, even if there are dozens or hundreds of them, they definitely have no chance to push open, and even Xu Cheng and Zhang Mo have worked hard to open the huge city gate.

As for the access to the city gates and towers, they didn't have it, and even if they did, the dozens of zhang high city walls and the defensive prohibitions attached to them would become the last mountain to stop them.

So for so many years, except for the first time when someone tried to leave the city, everyone could only survive in the city first, but this kind of survival was really boring.

They didn't dare to run around, and they didn't have the means to do whatever they wanted, and who knew if one day the Great Monk would suddenly return, or if the terrifying beings who had taken everyone away would turn around and come back to them, so they could only stay in a fixed area, year after year, day after day, living a very simple and hidden life.

However, because of the arrival of Xu Cheng and Zhang Mo, they felt that there was hope of escaping from here, so those who were eager to flee or had some willingness to flee ran towards the north gate.

It is precisely such a collective action and the sound that are captured by Xu Cheng and Zhang Mo.

Of course, Xu Cheng and Zhang Mo were now following the departed person who was walking out, and the two of them were very puzzled why these people had no communication with each other, even the children who looked young, they were not energetic, and they were cautious everywhere.

And among these people, the highest cultivation is a standing Zen monk whose realm is equivalent to Zhuji, looking at that posture, although he still has the monk's iconic bald head, but he has returned to the world early in his clothes, and he has no monk's temperament.

The group had a large bag and a small bag, and they walked towards the crack in the door that was pushed open at the north gate, they walked much slower than Xu Cheng and Zhang Mo, and after half a day, they only walked the distance between the two of them and three percent.

When night fell, these departers were stationed on the spot, and there were countless temples and monks' houses on the side of the road, but they did not dare to enter at all.

Xu Cheng and Zhang Mo can still understand that although the leading meditation monk is not in a high realm, he can still perceive the prohibition of the surrounding temples.

However, it is only the level of half a bucket of water, after all, Xu Cheng and Zhang Mo know that in general, this kind of big faction that favors the famous and righteous path will not specifically target low-level monks, let alone mortals.

Especially in Buddhism, you only need to do one thing, and you don't deliberately peek into the secrets, so you can stay in the temple.

This is also why, Xu Cheng and Zhang Mo dared to swagger into various temples, they could sense which places were strong and which were irrelevant.

Unable to do this, in order to ensure the safety of everyone, it is also a way to choose to lead the crowd and avoid all dangers without discrimination...... Xu Cheng and Zhang Mo thought so.

The night in Taran City is so quiet that one can't help but wonder if it was so quiet so many years ago.

However, what is certain is that many years ago, Talan City must not have been so dark and dark, and the originally peaceful pagoda and monastery were also a little hideous and terrifying in the boundless darkness.

Combined with the boundless emptiness and silence, it only brings people the fear of the unknown.

It seems that the deviants must have gotten used to it, and when night came, they went into their tents and slept soundly, without talking to each other or getting together.

Just as the departers were asleep, two silent figures entered the station, and an undetectable spiritual light struck, sounding the entire station, and then another prohibition fell into the tent of the meditator, immobilizing it.

Then, among the two figures, the tall and stout one sneaked into the tent, carried the monk out of the tent, and led him into the deep darkness.

In a room that was once used for travelers, it was empty on all sides, and there were no tables, chairs, or quilts, except for the beams and pillars that supported the house and the low couch that was integrated with the floor.

I think that the leaver also knew that there was no danger here, so he moved all the items and used them.

Among the yellow wood rooms that have been vacant for an unknown amount of time, there are three "guests" at this moment.

A tall and sturdy man, with his hands on his chest, stared at the front under the light of the white spirit bead with deep eyes.

Beside him, there was an equally tall, slender woman, leaning against a pillar, also staring at the light ahead.

These two people are Xu Cheng and Zhang Mo, the appearance of the demon clan manifested by the demon pill, Shi Jianfeng and Qing Lingmei.

Under the white light, it was naturally the two of them who had taken away from the team, and at this time, he was being firmly tied to a corner of the house by Zhang Mo with a wooden technique.

The two glanced at each other, nodded slightly, and then Zhang Mo pointed out and woke up the sleeping monk.

In a daze, the monk opened his eyes.

As soon as he saw the two of them, he was still wondering if he was in a dream, after all, he hadn't seen anyone other than the one for a long time, and the last time he saw a new face was a baby born to a couple three years ago.

But after carefully feeling his own state, the meditator realized that he was being tied up by something like a powerful "vine".

He wanted to struggle, but found that he couldn't break free no matter what, and was about to use the spiritual power of the Buddha in his body to break free, Xu Cheng opened his mouth and said: "This bondage is equivalent to the realm of Nirvana, you are a small meditation monk, or don't do it in vain, so as not to hurt yourself." ”

The monk struggled again, but finally found that the gap was indeed worlds apart, even if he himself was far more than this realm of meditation, but there was still a certain gap from the circle of nirvana, not to mention that he could easily use the level of the circle of nirvana to trap a standing meditation monk, then the realm of these two people may not be an ordinary level of the circle of nirvana, and it may even be above the return to silence.

Thinking of this, the monk no longer moved, but after sorting out his emotions, he asked Xu Cheng and Zhang Mo, "Dare to ask the two...... Demon clan seniors, why did you detain me here? ”

Xu Cheng took a few steps forward, revealing all his burly body in front of the monk, and said expressionlessly: "I should ask you this, who are you, as far as I know, there should be no living beings in this city, why do you still have those people who can survive?" ”

Hearing this, the Monk Lizen suddenly widened his eyes, and said in a low voice: "Senior's words, seniors, what they said, could it be that the demon clan also knows about this?" How is it possible, could it be that the demon clan is also involved?! ”

"Listen to you, do you really know what's going on in this Talan City?"

Xu Cheng leaned in a little closer, this was a bit playful on his face, and his tone became strange.

The monk was stunned at first, and then reacted, it turned out that Xu Cheng was cheating him before, but now he was controlled by others, and his mood was unstable, and he didn't clearly discern the trap of the person in front of him for a while, and he couldn't blame others.

After sighing lightly, the monk pursed his lips and said helplessly, "Poor monk...... In the lower is the former Qingguang Temple inner disciple, the original name is to keep the delusion, thirty-two years ago returned to the lay name, now named Sunan Yi.

I don't know what the two seniors want to ask about the situation in the city? ”

"There's a lot going on in this city?"

This time, Zhang Mo spoke, and she also walked a few steps forward, and half of her body landed on Xu Cheng's back.

Su Nanyi finally saw the general appearance of the two of them, and understood that the two of them were probably the two who pushed open the city gate, and between listening to Xu Cheng and Zhang Mo's words, they should be completely ignorant of everything that happened in Talan City before.

But think about it, how could the demon clan know about such a strange situation, where the main forces are thousands of miles away?

After a short pause, Su Nanyi said before Xu Cheng and Zhang Mo began to get irritable: "If the seniors want to know the situation that Tarabang City is almost unoccupied, it is relatively simple, if you want to know why Taran City is closed to this point and no one comes to it, then the matter is more complicated, I don't know which situation the two seniors want to know?" ”

"Say it all."

Xu Cheng and Zhang Mo's answers were very simple, but this was also what Su Nanyi had expected.

Su Nanyi took a deep breath again, seemed to organize some words, looked up at the two of them, and began to tell everything that had happened in Talan City forty years ago.

Xu Cheng and Zhang Mo listened quietly, but they were gradually frightened.
