Chapter Fifty-Eight: Awakening from a Dream
The main hall in the front yard of the Golden Mansion.
The arena where the soul and the demons fought was now filled with a thick mist.
The fog was originally leaden gray, but it gradually began to turn red with the constant roars, wails, blades slicing bones, and blood splatters that rang out in the room.
And more and more thick.
In the end, the fog surging in the doors and windows was like blood-soaked cotton, as if a handful of blood could be pulled out with just one hand.
In this situation, how can we teach the people who look outside the house not to tremble, not to be afraid, not to give birth to meager hope?
Many people have knelt down on the spot, praying to their respective gods (harmony) Buddhas and ancestors, praying that when the fighting subsides and the fog dissipates, it is Li Daoren who comes, Li Daoren who wins, and it is themselves who survive.
Pity.
The blood mist suddenly trembled.
It was as if a hole had been opened in the gate, and the mist poured out of it and spread rapidly through the courtyard.
People are already frightened birds, and they don't need to be reminded by Feng Chong and Yu Mei, so they all avoid them at the first time.
It wasn't until everyone was squeezed into a corner where there was no way out, that the fog finally came to a standstill, and slowly began to settle, turning into a trail of blood staining the tiles.
also revealed the figure hidden in the fog.
A man with an ordinary appearance but a calm look, and the demons of the guards around him.
Doctor!
Bo Ziyu suddenly felt a sigh in his heart.
Could it be that Li Daochang is ...... Wrong!
Bo Ziyu quickly noticed that although Na Langzhong's face remained calm, his body was very embarrassed, his clothes were stained with blood, and there was a dazzling scarlet on his shoulder, obviously he had been hit by a sword, and he barely avoided the vital point.
The monsters around him were even more unbearable, some lacked scales and armor, severely broken claws and limbs, and all of them had minor or serious injuries on their bodies.
More importantly, the fighting and wailing in the main hall have not been extinguished.
The Taoist is still alive......
Bo Ziyu woke up, and his face didn't have time to show joy.
The next moment.
In the open door of the cave, a giant one-eyed monster suddenly appeared.
This monster has small eyes, the size of a pigeon's egg, but a big dustpan on its head. It panicked and tried to escape from the door, but its head got stuck in the door frame, and it couldn't move or retreat. For a while, tears welled up in his eyes, as if there was something extremely terrifying behind him, forcing him to drill hard, squeezing the door frame, scratching his scalp, and blood dripping down, and finally got out of his head.
But.
A bronze dagger suddenly emerged from the blood mist, circled around the one-eyed monster, and suddenly escaped back into the mist.
The joy of escaping and ascending to heaven froze on the one-eyed demon's face, and then, fine red marks appeared around it.
The next moment.
Burst.
In the blood splatter, the monster suddenly scattered into finger-sized pieces of flesh, piled up on the threshold, and the muscles were still beating and steaming.
Forthwith.
The fighting in the house subsided.
I don't know where to set off a strange wind, lock the doors and windows one by one, everyone can only see through the window paper, see the blood in the house gradually fade, and at the same time hear the sound of "Bobo", but it is the crack of the door and window that keeps gushing blood.
Not for a moment.
At the feet of the demons gathered into a swamp of blood.
The minced flesh on the threshold had already been washed away, and the blood wrapped around the black and white one-eye, dripping and rolling to Lang Zhong's feet.
He leaned over to pick it up, stared at it for a long time, and then ......
Burst~
I laughed out loud inexplicably.
He first raised his sleeve to hide his face and sneered softly, but the laughter grew louder and sharper, and even the sleeve could not cover the cracked corners of his mouth.
He lowered his sleeves, bent over, held his belly, and laughed wildly. But even so, it seemed that he was not very happy, and simply sat down in the blood swamp, laughing wildly and slapping the blood on the ground.
"Hahaha......"
Wanton and grotesque laughter echoed in the courtyard.
Laughing so that the wind "woo" howled; laughed so that the iron-cast wall of fog that covered the sky and the sun churned and surged, as if it was about to collapse and press down; laughed so that the monsters whimpered and fell to their knees; laughed so that everyone was terrified to death and did not see blood.
"Isn't this guy crazy?"
Bo Ziyu wanted to scold loudly, but when it came out of his mouth, it became self-talking.
He turned his face away, not knowing whether it was to hide his momentary cowardice, or to find a trace of support (harmony) and comfort from his companion.
He first looked at Feng Chong, the round-faced Taoist priest frowned, and repeatedly chanted "Supreme Taiyi Du Er Tianzun" in his mouth; he looked at Zhang Yi again, the ranger clutched the handle of the knife, his eyebrows lowered, and he couldn't see his expression clearly......
She stepped forward and stood out from the crowd.
Plain and red dress, standing alone between the crowd and demons.
Bo Ziyu looked at her in a daze, and her slender back looked extremely thin and fragile under the comparison of the hideous demons on the opposite side.
He suddenly felt a strong sense of shame, dispelled the haze in his heart, and then gave birth to a little pride.
How can a husband with a bearded eyebrow let a woman be pretty?
It's just a matter of dragging the knife and striding up, and it's just a matter of life and death.
But no matter how excited he was in his chest, Yu Mei in front of him had already stepped into the pool of blood and faced the demons.
"I am Yu Mei, the inspector of the Zhenfu Division, and I am ordered by the Son of Heaven to stab the world's demons, ghosts, spirits, witches, and monks. You are spreading the demon plague, gathering people to make trouble, eating the people, the iron case is like a mountain, the evidence is conclusive, and you will not be arrested, when will you wait?!"
Bo Ziyu's footsteps froze, and his eyes widened.
She's crazy too?
......
These words are also loud and sound, but unfortunately it is like a mud cow entering the sea, and there is no response, only making his own people look at each other, wondering if this Yu cha man is frightened by the monster, or is used to relying on the name of the Suppression Division, and is a fool who can't see the situation clearly.
However, this "joke" was not completely useless, at least it succeeded in making the demon leader stop his mad laughter.
Lang Zhong's wild laughter came to an abrupt end, and he looked at Yu Mei with a strange look, then got up from the pool of blood, straightened his clothes, and bowed.
"I can't help but be happy, sadness comes from it, and I lost my temper for a while, which made you laugh. ”
As he spoke, he gently wiped away the smile and tears on his face, but his hands were clearly stained with blood, and this wipe, blood and tears were mixed, making his ordinary face more weird and hideous.
Yu Mei didn't answer, as if waiting for him to tie his hands and kneel on the ground to beg for mercy. The others didn't say much, only Lang Zhong continued to speak.
"Tied up?"
He chewed on Yu Mei's words with interest.
"Why?"
"Is it because of your great official authority, Lord Yu, is it the mana that Daoist Feng has exhausted?"
Lang Zhong's playful gaze wandered through the crowd.
Bo Ziyu struggled to puff out his chest and glared angrily, showing his presence. It's a pity that all these "flattering eyes" were thrown to the blind man, and Lang Zhong didn't look at him half of his eyes, and swept it away, obviously not taking him and his servants in his eyes.
He just pointed to the main hall with the doors and windows closed.
"Or the sword fairy in the house?"
Lang Zhong bowed slightly.
"Yes, the one in the room is really powerful. It's ridiculous that I set a trap and tried my best to get him to kill many of my children. If you don't get out in time...... he played with the eyeballs in his hands, "this bone is rotten, I'm afraid it should be me." ”
"But ......"
He paused, chewed his eyes and swallowed, then opened his chest towards the closed door.
"Come, come out, kill me!"
The voice echoed, and the wind whimpered.
The demons trembled in their bodies, but they did not dare to move half a step in Langzhong, and the eyes of the people were eager, waiting for the crimson and ferocious sword light to reappear.
But.
The door was still locked, silent, only blood slowly oozing out.
Long.
"Look ......"
Lang Zhong turned around.
"It turns out that he can't get out. ”
He laughed silently.
laughed out of people's despair, laughed at the ecstasy and impatience of the demons.
"Looks like there's no reason for me to be caught. ”
"Oh, yes. ”
He suddenly pretended to have a sudden realization.
"Is it because of the injuries on my children? well, yes, all of them are covered in wounds, it's really pitiful, but ......"
He stroked his palm and chuckled.
"Eat you, won't it be good!"
This sentence is plain and bland, just like an ordinary greeting when the neighbor bumps into him when he goes out in the morning, but when it falls on people's ears, it is a thunderbolt that blows up people's hearts and galls and shakes them.
Just because this was also an order, the demons were shocked, fangs and claws, screaming and howling, and pounced on the crowd, asking for a full meal of flesh and blood to relieve the hunger in the stomach and the pain in the body.
The crowd had already fled in panic, but all around were sealed by a fog wall (harmony), where could they flee to?
Zhang Yi silently clenched the long knife, Bo Ziyu's eyes were about to split, and Feng Chong's hand was pinching the magic trick, all ready to die desperately.
However, at the front of the crowd, Yu Mei, who bore the brunt of the attack, did not react at all at this moment, and the sword was still firmly inserted in his waist and never pulled out.
And the monster had already pounced on her.
One is a human-faced and bird-like monster with a small mosquito in its beak, called a mosquito mother, and the other is a four-legged snake demon with a long lizard and a crest of flesh on its head, called a Chitose pit viper.
The two monsters are friendly and mutually helpful, not fighting or grabbing, one comes straight to peck at the eye socket of Yu Mei to suck (harmony) brain water, and the other aims at the slender waist to dig out the liver.
In this regard, the voice under the mask was cold.
"Take it. ”
......
It was a light.
It can't be said to be bright, nor can it be said to be hot (harmonious).
But in this dim courtyard sealed (harmonious) by the fog wall, it was as if the first ray of light pierced the chaotic sky when the heavens and the earth were opened, so that the people and demons in the field could not take their eyes off.
Then, there is a three-headed fork of rotten silver.
It suddenly appeared in the light, and then quickly stabbed, knocking the unprepared mosquito mother and the Chitose pit to the ground.
Then, there is the owner of the silver fork, with the ape arm and the tiger's back and the bear's waist, and the body looks like a real and illusory body.
Gold belt, red tasseled helmet, green brocade robe, bright light armor.
In the light, the crown and ribbon are flying, and the armor is shining, just like the gods descending to earth.
Feng Chong muttered in his mouth: "The Dharma Protector God ......"
Wrong.
He soon discovered that
This illusory general, who descended from the sky, turned his head, but showed a pair of blue-faced fangs. Although there are many evil people among the Dharma Protectors, this one is full of evil spirits.
Feng Chong then realized that this was rampant.
The so-called "rampant generals" are actually similar to the "protector gods". When the Taoist priest is enthroned, he will allocate the upper and lower two altars of soldiers and horses, the upper altar soldiers and horses are the heavenly soldiers and generals, and the lower altar soldiers and horses are also called five rampant soldiers and horses, which are the goblins and ghosts surrendered by the Daomen.
However, who opened the altar to recruit soldiers and horses?
Feng Chong recalled Yu Mei's fearless appearance before.
Could it be that this is the help of the Pacification Division?
The breath in Feng Chong's chest suddenly relaxed, not because of how much confidence he had in the Zhenfu Division, or in the rampant generals in front of him, but according to common sense......
If there are rampant generals, there will naturally be rampant soldiers.
But when he saw the rampant green-faced fangs, he raised his arms and exclaimed.
There are drums and trumpets between heaven and earth.
Above the wall of fog, countless pillars of light were broken in an instant, and countless strange-shaped rampant soldiers jumped out of it.
These rampant soldiers are not very powerful, at least they can't compare to the demons around Lang Zhong.
But.
There are just too many.
Almost in the blink of an eye, the monsters were overwhelmed by the rampant soldiers, and after a few struggles, they were suppressed one after another.
Only the human body remained, and Langzhong, who didn't know whether it was a human or a demon, fell into the siege of rampant soldiers.
But he still had that calm and calm appearance, teaching Feng Chong's heart to froze, and he became vigilant again, thinking to himself that this guy still has some tricks?
The next second.
But seeing Lang Zhonglisuo raised his hands.
"I surrender. ”
............
It's dawn.
When Lang Zhong was bound, the already devastated wall of fog finally collapsed.
At this time.
After a night of panic, everyone was shocked to realize that the east was already white.
When the sun shines into the courtyard.
The rampant generals disappeared with the light as if they had suddenly appeared before.
Leaving behind the people who survived the death in the courtyard, as well as the suppressed Lang Zhong and his demons.
Yu Mei didn't say a word, and silently walked up to Lang Zhong.
Draw your sword and stab.
But under the sword, a robe suddenly appeared in front of him.
Yu Mei's voice was cold.
"He's the culprit. ”
Feng Chong didn't look at the blade pointing at his chest, he just stared at Yu Mei's eyes, and said:
"One side of the story may not be true. ”
"What's more, how to detoxify the demon plague? How many monsters are still lurking in the city? We don't know, how do we know these things when we kill him?"
Yu Mei was silent for a while, and finally put away his sword.
Feng Chong breathed a sigh of relief and was about to speak again, but Yu Mei had already turned around, jumped onto the wall, and disappeared.
Feng Chong was left in his throat, and the words were hummed in his mouth for a while, and finally turned into a sentence.
"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable. ”
Then he turned his gaze to the main hall with the doors and windows closed.
......
Feng Chong and Bo Ziyu cautiously pushed open the door.
Just one eye.
The two immediately ran to the corner.
Vomit!
vomited violently, and the posture seemed to be eager to turn the stomach pouch out of the mouth.
For a while.
The two reunited at the door and walked into the main hall with a pale face.
Everything in the hall was smeared with blood.
When the shoes hit the ground, they sagged slightly, and there was a greasy touch, because the ground was covered with a layer of minced flesh mixed with blood and water, and from time to time I saw fragments of bones and organs floating in it.
Li Changan stood in this pool of flesh with his sword.
The lines did not move, did not speak, like a sculpture dressed in blood.
Wait until the two of them get closer.
His eyes flickered.
In the minced flesh under his feet, the bronze short sword swirled up, frightening Feng Chong and the two of them almost to break out of the door.
But fortunately, the flying sword didn't fly a foot away, and it fell weakly, fluttered for a while, and finally sank into the minced meat.
Meantime.
Li Changan also shook his body and fell to the ground.
When the two saw each other, they hurriedly stepped forward.
Feng Chong checked it for a moment and breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's no big deal. ”
"It's just over-consumption. ”
Then.
"Team leader...... Vomit. ”
But it was a servant who recklessly broke into the door, and before he could finish speaking, he was "chased" out by the scene in the house.
Anyway, Li Changan is fine, and Bo Ziyu just took the opportunity to slip away. He suspected that if he stayed alone, he would have to be a vegetarian for the rest of his life.
went out and found the official who was still vomiting in the corner.
"You can't hold on to such a small scene, what does the yamen want you to do?"
"That's the team leader, you Ying...... Vomit. ”
It's a pity that the officer's sycophant didn't finish filming, and the sour water came out first.
Bo Ziyu had no choice but to blacken his face and pat the back of the servant.
"What's the matter?"
After spitting out, the official wiped his sour water.
"We bumped into a sneaky kid at the door, suspecting him to be a spy of the monsters!"
Bo Ziyu's expression was solemn.
"Where?!"
The official hurriedly brought a half-grown boy who was struggling wildly from the side.
Bo Ziyu was stunned.
Isn't this the kid from the Yan family?
......
"What? Ame is also in this house!"
Bo Ziyu's face was very ugly, and the officials next to him immediately called Qu up, saying that the Jin Mansion had been rummaged inside and out, where would there be more people.
Bo Ziyu looked at the thin but stubborn Yan family kid, and believed eight points in his heart, after all, Feng Chong said that the reason why Li Changan was trapped in a dream and couldn't get out was because there was an unexpected dream.
But if you want to say that the officials are perfunctory and leave out Xiao Amei, he doesn't believe it.
After all, he knows his guys too well, and when he searched for the Jin family before, he was afraid that he would not spare three feet of the ground and lead the sheep, and he would not let go of the copper in the crack of the door, let alone a big living person?
Unless......
He looked thoughtfully at Jin Yuanwai.
A moment later.
There is a dry well in the side yard.
Bo Ziyu tied a rope and went down to the bottom of the well.
With the help of torches, I saw that there was something else under the well, and a high platform was carved out of the wall of the well, and a false iron door was embedded in the depths.
He pushed the door open, his breath shortening.
Silver!
The white silver was cast into large winter melons, densely piled up in the stone room.
Bo Ziyu swallowed hard, tried to look away, and continued to walk forward.
Arrived at the end of the stone chamber.
But I saw that the copper coins were stacked like a mountain.
A small figure curled up in the "mountain", sleeping soundly.
............
In a dream.
The moonlight is like blood, soaking in the tall buildings.
The wind howled, making the towering buildings sway.
Li Changan and the girl kept jumping and climbing between the eaves and arches, walking on the ground, stabbing the demons who caught up one after another under the sword.
But there are too many monsters.
If you stab one, ten will come up, and ten will come up, and ten will come up a hundred...... Endless, killing endlessly, Li Changan and the girl had to fight and retreat.
retreated all the way to the top of the building, piercing into the Blood Moon Sky Dome, and finally there was no way to retreat.
The two stood with their backs to each other.
Looking at the monsters climbing to the top of the building from all directions, the girl's face was gloomy.
"I didn't think that this woman would die here. ”
And Li Changan is quite calm, this way under the moon to kill, although he didn't have time to figure out what tricks the nightmare played, but after all, it was just a dream, and he shouldn't really die if he died once.
However, I once heard that someone fell into a dream too deep and died in a dream, and the soul believed it, so it really died completely. Although this is absurd, the dream has been indulged by nightmares, and it may not be impossible, so just in case, quickly comfort the girl.
"The sword is still in hand, why bother to say 'death'?!"
When the girl heard this, she burst out laughing.
"If you can say that, you are not a vulgar person. ”
"Okay! I can die hand in hand with you, a Taoist priest. ”
"I take over the Lord of the Heavenly Tower, the first female sword fairy in the world, and I can be regarded as a well-deserved death!"
What's the matter?
Rao is soul is not there, Li Changan was still stunned for a while, thinking that the self-proclaimed "woman" was enough for the second middle school, but I didn't expect that there would be more self-liberating.
However, the Taoist priest didn't have time to dwell on these at this time.
Because there seems to be a familiar voice ringing in my ears.
......
The girl looked up to the sky and laughed for a while, and found that the Taoist priest did not echo it.
Looking back.
found that Li Changan seemed to be listening to something, and looked at herself with a strange look, which made her feel furious.
So, he asked with some trepidation:
"What's the matter? Isn't there some powerful youkai? ”
"It's fine. ”
The Taoist priest smiled and made an inexplicable request.
"Turn your head away. ”
Ha?
Although the girl didn't know why, since it was said by her partner who lived and died together, she still did it with doubts.
But just turned around.
Poof.
A pain in my chest.
A sword tip came out from behind.
............
Little Amei woke up from her dream.
Her smooth forehead was covered with sweat, and her little hands touched her chest.
The unfamiliar room, unfamiliar faces, and unfamiliar conditions in front of her make her unable to extricate herself from the confusion between dreams and reality.
Until......
"Dao Chief, you're finally awake!"
There was an exclamation of joy behind his ears.
She turned her head away.
Seeing that Bo Zhu, who had often come to his house recently, quickly helped a pale and embarrassed Taoist to get up slowly.
The little guy stared blankly at the Taoist priest.
Then the eye sockets slowly reddened.
Finally, he jumped up, rushed over violently, and kicked Li Changan's calf.
Without waiting for the Taoist priest to cry out in pain, he ran out of the door with a howl.
