Chapter 132: Embattled
Nightpot uttered the last words of his life, but he collapsed before he could finish speaking. When death came, he didn't feel the slightest fear, and all that remained on his face was calmness.
Yun Yi squatted down and closed the eyes of the night pot, all the dissatisfaction with him disappeared, in addition to sorrow in his heart, he had heard a lot of things like eating human flesh, but he had never seen it with his own eyes, and the situation made him realize that the lower limit of human nature was really low.
"Let's go, let's go. Seeing that Yun Yi looked like he was out of his mind, Turtle San pulled him out of the door.
Yun Yi followed Turtle San out of the broken temple, he looked around blankly, feeling the cold that penetrated deep into the bone marrow.
The two of them found a dying old man in a dilapidated house, the old man was hungry and cold, his body was swollen, the broken walls could not resist the cold wind, he was curled up in his fists and feet shivering, he seemed to have lung disease, and coughed violently.
When the two entered the house, the old man's face was full of fear, and his body trembled even more.
Yun Yi stepped forward and grabbed his wrist, released his aura to keep him cold, and asked, "Uncle, what happened to Chang'an, how did it become like this?"
The old man was slightly relieved to see that Yun Yi didn't mean to harm him, but he had no food in his stomach, and he was so hungry that he couldn't speak?
Seeing this situation, Yun Yi gave the golden eagle to hunt outside the city. After about half an hour, the golden eagle sent a hare, and Yun Yi peeled and washed the hare, roasted it over a fire, and handed it to the old man.
The old man, who had not eaten food for a long time, saw the hare, and with a lot of strength in his body, he sat up from the ground with his body bold, and grabbed the hare and chewed it vigorously. Halfway through eating, I suddenly burst into tears and cried bitterly.
Yun Yi touched the scene, knowing that this old man must have relatives who starved to death, and at this time he thought of his relatives while eating rabbit meat.
"Uncle, what happened in Chang'an?" Yun Yi asked again, when he first arrived in Qian County, he heard the old monk Hu say that after Dong Zhuo's death, Chang'an fell into the hands of Li Dao and Guo Yan, although he expected that Chang'an would be unable to escape the disaster in the past two years, but he really didn't expect it to become like this.
The old man cried enough, and then he told Chang'an about the past few years.
Things have to start from the second year of Chuping, that is, the year when Yun Yi and others fled from Chang'an, and Dong Zhuo was killed by Wang Yun and Lu Bu. Since Dong Zhuo moved the capital, the days of Chang'an have not been peaceful, it happened that in the first half of that year, it snowed heavily in Chang'an for half a year, and missed the farming time.
Last year, Xiliang Ma Teng and Han Sui alliance crusaded against Guo Yan and Li Wei, Guo Li and the two of them grabbed strong men to replenish the army and defeated the Ma and Han coalition forces, but it also led to no one farming, the fields were barren, and the people had no harvest, and there was a famine again, there was a riot in Chang'an, many large merchants were robbed, and many people were killed and eaten.
The more the old man spoke, the more sad he became, all the tragic scenes seemed to be vivid, although Yun Yi did not see the tragic situation of the year, but he saw the scene of the ruins and depression of the city, and saw the night pot eating human flesh, his heart couldn't help but sink.
Seeing that he was sullen, Turtle San said: "Don't think about Chang'an first, think about yourself first, what are your plans for the future?"
"I don't know. Yun Yi shook his head, took out the porcelain bottle from his arms, and threw it to Turtle San, "This is what I took from Chenyangzi, it should be a qi tonifying pill, you can take it." ”
Turtle San pulled out the cork, poured out three yellow cancan pills from them, and said in surprise: "These three pills are the best of the best, one is enough to make a Taixuan master return to full aura three times, you will definitely be able to promote Taixuan if you take it." ”
Yun Yi shook his head, after being promoted to Taixuan, it would trigger a fire in his heart, and he was sure that after the three fires gathered, the blood sword would be able to withstand it. In addition, it may not be that many people are looking for his whereabouts at the moment, and there is not enough time to refine the elixir for him.
The reason why the elixir is given to the turtle three is mainly because the turtle three's qi method is similar to that of ordinary Taoists, and it is likely to face many enemies next, the spell of the turtle three is too domineering, extremely consuming spiritual energy, if there is no qi tonifying pill as a supplement, it is difficult to use all his strength.
"By the way, since Chenyangzi is not the one who sets up the formation, how can he enter and exit the formation freely?" Turtle San asked the doubts in his heart, he and Yun Yi had previously connected to the aura of Chenyangzi and tried to get out of the formation, but they were blocked by the formation, which showed that Chenyangzi was not only not the person who set up the formation, but even the formation talisman was not on him.
"Maybe the array talisman was on the people outside, and he took it when he came in, and after entering the array, he threw it out. Yun Yi replied absentmindedly.
Turtle San knew that the reason why he was so depressed was because the scene of the night pot eating human flesh was still haunting him, and he couldn't let go of it, so he didn't ask any more questions.
Fortunately, although Yun Yi was in a heavy mood, he had not lost his mind, and instructed the three birds to find a place to escape from the wind and cold in Chang'an City, and not to leave Chang'an. The Divine Restraint will not affect the minds of the aliens in normal times, and if they are not restrained, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not fly back to the Djia faction to attract strong enemies.
At this time, Chang'an was very cold, the twilight was hazy, the cold wind was sassy, and the grain was robbed by Li Dao Guo Yan, and the people had no surplus food, and all industries were wasted.
When it got dark, Yun Yi felt hungry, but he didn't want to go to the Xiliang army to grab food, because once the Xiliang army was alarmed, it would inevitably cause trouble.
The old man was hungry and cold, and had a lung disease, and though he ate a hare in the evening, he was dying of life, and he was not breathing in the middle of the night.
At dawn the next day, Yun Yi collected the old man's corpse, and God gave the golden eagle to go out hunting. In the past two years, there has been a serious famine in Chang'an, and many birds and beasts in the nearby mountains and forests have been killed and killed.
After eating, Yun Yi instructed the three birds to let them hunt for food and not fly too far.
"How long are we going to stay here?" asked the turtle with an uneaten rabbit leg in his hand.
"It's hard to say," Yun Yi shook his head, "My master has made too many enemies, and now that the Ding Jia faction has spread the news, there should be many people outside looking for me now, I'm afraid we won't be able to show up for a long time." ”
"There's no need to be so careful, is it? Turtle San said.
"I always felt that something was wrong, and I couldn't figure out why the old fox of Chenyangzi was spreading the news. Yun Yi frowned slightly, there must be a demon when things go wrong, it was really a bit abrupt for Chen Yangzi to spread the news to the various sects of the Daomen, and he still couldn't think of Chen Yangzi's motive for doing this.
The three of them were old and refined, and when they heard this, they pondered slightly for a moment, and said, "Does he know that you have recovered your aura cultivation, but he pretends not to notice it?"
"Should it not be ......" The word "will" has not yet been exported, Yun Yi's tone was stunned, and he frowned suddenly.
Chenyangzi said before that he had asked Yanyunzi about the cover door of the Liuding Divine Weapon, and Yanyunzi had been in contact with the fat man, the fat man was a big mouth, and he didn't have any scheming, the uniqueness of the three fires internal refining The fat man knew something, and he had told Yanyunzi before.
If Yanyunzi really knew the characteristics of the Three Flames Internal Refining and told Chenyangzi about it, then this time Chenyangzi and the others captured him and put him in the dungeon, pouring brass and laying out the formation in the dungeon, it was likely to be a trick to delay the army, and Chenyangzi and the others probably knew that he could escape from the dungeon, and it was possible that they had ulterior motives for locking him in the dungeon.
It is not known what the other party's specific intentions are, because the clues are insufficient, but if the previous inferences are true, then one thing can be determined, the other party poured brass in the dungeon and laid down the formation, including preventing him from escaping, all of them were making a play, the purpose was to make him not suspicious.
Seeing him frowning, Turtle San asked, "Did you think of something?"
"Sort of. Yun Yi nodded, revealing his thoughts and thoughts.
Turtle San didn't know much about the matter, and after listening to it, he just nodded and didn't give an opinion.
Yun Yi had an ominous premonition in his heart, why was it ominous but he couldn't say it, a little aura flashed in his heart, but he couldn't grasp it, looming.
When Yun Yi was pondering, Turtle San was cleaning up the rabbits, and when he came back to his senses, Turtle San had already roasted the two rabbits and reached out to hand him one over.
The two stayed in the grass hut for half a month, and never left half a step, but the ominousness in Yun Yi's heart became stronger and stronger.
That night, the two were meditating and breathing, and Turtle San suddenly opened his eyes: "We are surrounded!"
"How many people?" Yun Yi was immediately vigilant, the turtle three was an outlier, and his perception of Daoist people was the keenest.
"There are a lot, there are no less than twenty people in Jiuzi Zheng alone, there are too many in Jiusi Lanzheng and Jiuwu Zichu, there must be a hundred and ten people," Turtle San frowned and said, "They may have used some kind of hidden aura spell before, I just found out." ”
"How far is it from us?" Yun Yi frowned and asked, Shangjiu Zizheng is Taixuan, Jiusi Blue is Taisu, Jiuwu Zichu is between Taisu and Taixuan, and suddenly there are so many masters in the labor division, which makes him very nervous.
"Just outside the city, surrounded on all sides. Turtle San said.
"Let's go now. Yun Yi immediately got up, and at the same time, the divine golden eagle and the black eagle rushed to greet the two.
The golden eagle and the black eagle were in the city, and soon arrived at the thatched hut where the two were hiding, and picked up the two of them and quickly lifted them into the air.
There are Taoists outside the city, and there are many of them. There are also more than ten Taixuan masters in the sky, all of them riding bird mounts, and they don't know what spells they used, the breath of people and mounts is covered, and Yun Yi and Turtle San can't feel the slightest breath.
At this time, there were people blocking the sky on the east, south, north and south, only the west was not blocked, although he guessed that the enemy deliberately left the empty gate in the west, but Yun Yi didn't have time to think about the enemy's intentions, the divine golden eagle and the black eagle fluttered their wings and flew quickly, and the gray crane followed.
Although those people in the sky left an empty door for the two to escape, they did not mean to let the two escape, and when they saw the two escape, they immediately urged their mounts to chase after them, and the Taoists on the ground also raised their spirits and swept west......
