Lin Zhao touched Xiaotong's fluffy and messy head, as if comforting a pet cat.

Xiao Tong felt the warmth coming from his big hand, his fear disappeared in an instant, his heart was at ease, but his curiosity was flooded again, and he asked in a low voice:

"What the hell is going on, sir, why are the dogs howling all over the city?"

Lin Zhao patted the other party's shoulder and said warmly:

"Some unclean things have entered the city, and the dog's eyes are naturally strange, and they are just a warning.

Okay, let's go to the inner courtyard, it's not a good thing to leave your girl alone at this time. ”

Xiao Tong reacted at this time, and hurriedly led the way in front of him, heading towards the inner courtyard.

There is a flower garden in the inner courtyard, and there is a two-story show pavilion, Xiaotong lives on the first floor of the show pavilion on weekdays, and Lingyin lives on the second floor.

After the show building, there is a row of side rooms, where Cheng's mother and four or five other healthy women live.

The spring breeze is warm, and the fragrance of flowers wafts in the flower garden.

Lin Zhao looked at it, there was no difference from the day, and he saw that there were colorful and exotic flowers blooming in the flower garden, all of which were beautiful and different in shape, and they were all rare and exotic flowers and plants.

More than a dozen breaths passed, and in addition to the barking of domestic dogs, there were countless noises in the city.

On the long street outside the entire courtyard, ghosts and shadows were stacked in the darkness, and the gloomy roar was endless, and the gloomy aura emanating from it was like substance.

From time to time, strange cries were heard, some of which looked like people had fallen into a deep pool and were being submerged in water, and some of which were full of resentment, as if they were cursing all living beings in the world.

At this moment, many houses in the city were lit up, but most of the people were trembling and did not dare to go out of the house to check.

In the center of Tian'en City, in a mansion, a middle-aged man with a tall figure, a dignified temperament, a beard, and a lion-like face, dressed in white plain clothes, stood in the courtyard and looked up at the sky, and roared loudly:

"Sure enough, the general expected that these wild embryos who killed a thousand knives were really bold, and they dared to drive ghosts into the city at night, is it really boring?

Li Yue, Hong Xi! Why don't you pass out and die? Why don't you get up and work quickly!"

With the vigorous drinking, the door of the wing room not far away opened, and a man in a robe appeared, came to the middle-aged man and bowed and saluted:

"Shicai meditated in the room, it took some time to collect the work, and I asked the captain to atone for his sins!"

The middle-aged man bowed his head slightly, and naturally knew the peculiarity of Yuan Daojun's practice exercises, because everyone was connected to the qi and machine together when they practiced on weekdays, this harvest was naturally not like personal practice, and they could open and close freely.

His gaze swept over the eight men one by one, and after a few breaths, he said in a deep voice:

"Ye Xiu is coming, driving the yin ghosts into the city, you wait to put on armor immediately, and go with me to sweep it!

Wang Zhao, you go and inform Captain Zhan and ask him to quickly mobilize the Yuan Dao Army of Tian'en City to fight, and the fighter must not be delayed, otherwise it will be dealt with by military law. ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw eight people clasping their fists at the same time, and shouted loudly in unison:

"No!"

One of them, a man with long narrow eyes and a calm temperament, jumped up and disappeared in an instant.

And the remaining seven men exuded a vigorous fighting spirit, connected to each other, and rushed straight into the sky, carrying with them the iron-blooded aura that suppressed everything and destroyed everything.

After a breath, together with the middle-aged people, several people were shining brightly, and one by one the armor components flew out of the storage magic weapon on their waists, and quickly combined on their bodies, and the luster of the Dao cut through the darkness, dazzling and abnormal.

Several people quickly put on their armor, the middle-aged man's armor was bright silver, and the seven subordinates were bronze.

These armors, along with their helmets, are carved with mysterious runes, and as the light flashes, they faintly coordinate with each other, forming a battle array.

The weapons in the hands of several people are also different, some hold shields, some hold bows, and some spin with flying swords on their sides.

These weapons are shining on the surface, they are all extraordinary weapons, but they belong to magic weapons.

The middle-aged man is none other than Gong Jiucheng, the captain of the Zhaowu Colonel of the Yuan Dao Army, although he only brought eight people this time, but these subordinates are all good at killing and have great experience.

The exercises and Taoism that are practiced are all centered on fighting, and there is no trace of immortality in cultivation.

And he can form a strong synergy with other colleagues, and his real combat power far exceeds that of monks of the same level.

"Let's go!"

Seeing that his subordinates were about to stop, Gong Jiucheng let out a low sigh.

As soon as the words fell, I saw a cloud of yellow light flying out of everyone's waist, buzzing, but it was a frisbee magic weapon.

In an instant, the figure flickered, and Gong Jiucheng led his subordinates to step on the frisbee and take off into the air.

Whether it is armor, all kinds of weapons, or frisbees, they are all standard magic weapons of the Yuan Dao Army, and they are integrated with each autonomous mind through the method of blood refining, and they are controlled like an arm.

In particular, the frisbee is not only as fast as lightning, but also can change direction disorderly in the air, allowing the soldiers of the Yuan Dao Army to take a sharp advantage in the battle.

According to the number of participants, the battle formation of the Yuan Dao Army has a variety of combinations.

It can be formed by three people to form a "three-talent killing array", or five people can form a "five-way wandering god array", and there are also "Seven Stars Descending Fire Array", "Eight Directions Wind Roaring Array", and "Nine Spirits Annihilation Array".

Legend has it that the Yuan Dao army formed a formation of 10,000 people to defeat the earth immortals, and Kun Yuan Taizu was able to dominate the world, relying on the unparalleled battle array and the combination of various utensils.

It's a pity that more than 3,000 years have passed, and the original high-level battle array has rarely appeared.

In the past two hundred years, with the decline of the Kun Yuan Dynasty, the entry threshold and cultivation resources of the Yuan Dao army have dropped again and again, causing its combat power to never return to the past.

On the long street, more than ten groups of ghosts fluttered and flickered, flashing rapidly, and were heading towards the center of the city.

Suddenly, a dazzling golden light lit up, which was filled with the meaning of the scorching sun, causing many Yin Ghosts to let out a terrible howl.

Followed by seven yellow lights, the comers were connected to each other, Gong Jiucheng stood at the front of the battle array, with a golden orb on his head, and the brilliance was emitted from the orb.

Without waiting for him to command, the seven elites of the Yuan Dao Army had already made a move.

In an instant, more than a dozen blood rays shot towards the ghost, which was the killing technique "Iron-blooded Sun Thorn" cultivated by the Yuan Dao Army.

"Iron-blooded Sun Thorn" comes from "Yuan Dao Blood Battle Sutra", which is a masculine Taoist technique, which is also mixed with the power of qi and blood, and is the most restrained ghost.

As far as the blood came, those ghosts were hit one after another, and suddenly their illusory bodies seemed to be solidified, and after two or three breaths, they gradually turned into green smoke and dissipated.

During the whole process, the Yuan Dao Army only sent this blow, and then maintained its formation and continued to sweep forward quickly.

The official office of Tian'en City, the prefect Ruan Mengqi's face was ugly at this time, his sparse white beard trembled slightly, and he was holding back his fear, and shouted angrily downward:

"Are all the people in the Provincial Affairs Department dead?

Why haven't you opened the city defense circle yet?"

The officials below trembled and looked at each other, but no one dared to step forward to reply.

Seeing this, Ruan Mengqi sighed, rubbed the big seal on the desk with his palm, looked depressed, slowly leaned on the back of the chair, waved his hand weakly, and said in a low voice:

"Wait for more lamps......"

Before the words fell, he suddenly saw that the positions of the four walls of Tian'en City were shining in the sky, but they were soon shrouded in night again, and peace was restored in the eyes of mortals.

But under the gaze of the monk's spiritual vision, the sky above the Heavenly Grace City was covered by a huge white light mask, like a sea bowl falling upside down.

The foundation of the formation in the four city walls is colluding with the void, pulling the vitality of heaven and earth, with the Taoist Affairs Department as the core, and the prefect's yamen, the capital division yamen and other important places as the main support points, and the Tian'en City City Defense Array has been activated.

To this day, the state capitals of the Kun Yuan Dynasty are basically a three-yuan situation, among which the Daogong Branch has a specialization, which is in charge of the training of monks, the opening and daily maintenance of the city defense array.

The Yuan Dao Army was a special force to suppress all evil cults.

Although the yamen of the state capital deals with daily political affairs, it is greatly suppressed by the big clans and powerful people in various places.

Tonight's incident happened suddenly, the heads of the Yamen were not in the Yamen, and what was even more strange was that no one from the major families showed up, which made the prefect who was an ordinary mortal shocked and angry, but he could only endure it secretly.

In the inner courtyard of Lingyin, the lights were bright at this time, and several healthy women, including Cheng Ma and Li Ma, also gathered.

Such an eerie and haunted night, except for Lin Zhao, everyone else present was terrified.

The city gradually became noisy, with occasional explosions and blinding lights.

Lin Zhao stood with his hands in his hands, his eyes looking at the dark void, and he looked calm, which made several women feel a little calm.

Three miles east of Tian'en City, the "Nine Yin Ghost Mother" stood on an altar, her mouth was slurred, as if she was chanting words, and her hand was shaking the magic bell from time to time.

In the center of the altar is a long banner shaped like a long umbrella, which hangs down, and is painted with intricate patterns on it, which is emitting a faint blue light.

As the "Nine Yin Ghost Mother" stepped on the gang and spat out the mantra of exorcism, countless Yin ghost phantoms would emerge on the flag, floating out of it one by one, and quickly heading towards Tian'en City.

The more he reached the end, the more condensed the body of the ghost figure floating on the banner became, and the richer his expression became.

This long banner is a ghost magic weapon of the Nine Yin Ghost Mother, "Na Yin Flag", which can absorb the Xuanyin and Yin Qi between heaven and earth, and has the effect of hiding Yin ghosts and assisting the growth of Yin ghosts.

The Nine Yin Ghost Mother claims to have 100,000 Yin ghosts hidden in the flag.

As for whether there is such a number, no one knows.

At the same time, the ghosts wandering between heaven and earth were also constantly attracted by the altar, and their originally wooden and illusory faces gradually became expressions, and they slowly surrounded the direction of the Heavenly Grace City.

In the void around the Nine Yin Ghost Mother, a poignant and vicious voice came out from time to time.

Occasionally, ghosts with changing shapes enter and leave the void, and these ghosts have different shapes, one moment turning into a cloud of green smoke and floating out, and the next turning into the appearance of men, women, and children.

Occasionally, it devours wandering ghosts.

It's just that no matter how it changes, there is always a pair of scarlet eyes that are seductive, as if they are from the Nine Shadows Yellow Spring, looking at the creatures of the world viciously.

These ghosts are the bottom of the Nine Yin Ghost Mother's pressure box, relying on the "Infernal Yin Ghosts".

At this moment, the Nine Yin Ghost Mother also discovered the abnormality of Tian'en City, but she only showed a gloomy smile, so she ignored it and continued to drive the Yin Ghost and issue orders one after another.

There is a hill ten miles west of Tian'en City, where the mass grave is located.

For countless years, I don't know how many tombs have been located there.

At this moment, the yin qi of the entire mass grave was converging, and it was forming a white mist at a terrifying speed.

The white-haired and white-bearded "corpse chaser" was walking quickly between the tombs with his feet three feet off the ground, and from time to time he made yellow talismans in his hands.

The talisman spontaneously combusted without fire, and instantly sank into the mound, and within a dozen breaths, those tombs would make a rumbling sound and rise rapidly.

Immediately afterwards, a muscle-black yin stiffness came out of it, and then jumped up and down in the direction of Heavenly Grace City.

Occasionally, there are also Yin ghosts who are ordered by him, and they also rush to Tian'en City.

There is such an accident in the mass grave, but it is not a day's work, nor is it the achievement of the corpse chaser alone, which has a lot to do with the first hand arranged by the ghosts.

Time passes quickly, but for some, it's as slow as eternal night.

In an underground secret room of the Taoist Affairs Department, the Yuan Zhen Dao Chief let out a sigh of relief, and then looked at the four Dao Palace monks on the side, with a straight expression, and ordered:

"Tonight is rampant, I'm afraid that the ghosts will come to make trouble again.

The two junior brothers, Yuanxing and Yuanming, are guarding here, and no one is allowed to get close to the formation base. ”

Yuan Xing was short and fat, with a round face and a bad nose, and his appearance looked a little funny, but he was a formation mage, and he was responsible for the daily maintenance of the Tianen City City Defense Array.

Yuan Ming's face was clear and looked a little old.

These two people were stationed in Heavenly Grace City together with the Yuan True Dao Chief, and they all looked solemn and solemn at this moment.

"Yuanjue and Yuanhong come with me, although the yin ghosts outside the city cannot sneak in again, but those who have entered the city must be eliminated, and they must not be allowed to exist to poison the people.

We need to give Yuan Daojun a helper, otherwise once something goes wrong, my Dao Palace Branch will be held accountable by the Imperial Dynasty, and we need to bear deep karma.

In addition, this group of children who have just entered the examination must take good care of them, once these children have an accident, I am afraid that it will be difficult for me to gain a foothold in this Tianen City!"

As soon as these words came out, the other two monks with the long sword suddenly looked abrupt, and their originally scattered thoughts disappeared without a trace.

"Obey the decree of Senior Brother!"

Yuan Zhen nodded with satisfaction, shook off the dust, and took the lead in the outside.

However, several monks did not discover the hidden worries buried deep in the eyes of the Yuan Zhen Dao Chief.

Before half a tea time, several powerful Yin Ghosts quietly infiltrated the Daoist Affairs Department, not wanting to touch the legal prohibition, and only then were discovered by the Yuanzhen Dao Chief, who had fallen into deep cultivation.

After a battle to destroy it, several monks of the Yuanzi generation finally discovered the abnormality in the city, and hurriedly came to activate the city defense array, but they didn't expect it to be a step too late.

It's just that at this moment, the monks of the Dao Palace Branch of Yuanzhen and the others are far away from knowing, and the abnormal situation tonight will be far beyond their imagination.

Outside the Provincial Affairs Department, the grim ghosts with simple faces and cold and emotionless eyes stood in the air, constantly changing the magic in the direction of the Provincial Affairs Department.

Around it, there was a gray mist surging, and under the gaze of the "Ghost Eye Technique", the Taoist Affairs Department in the darkness was shrouded in a cloud of golden light.

Outside the four courtyard walls that were not as bright as the golden light, there were thirty-six Yin Ghosts with condensed bodies standing still, and each courtyard wall had just nine Yin Ghosts assigned to them.

After seven or eight breaths, the Yuan Zhen Dao Chief took Yuan Jue and Yuan Hong to the ground.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a low shout sounded, and the voice was made in the tone of reciting the Dao Zhen mantra, as if it passed through the void, allowing the three of Yuan Zhen to hear it clearly.

"Not good!"

Yuan Zhen's face turned pale in an instant, and then he saw that the protective magic array of the Daoist Affairs Department shattered, and a cold yin qi surrounded and killed from all directions.

In Lingyin's courtyard, Lin Zhao frowned slightly, glanced in the direction of the Taoist Affairs Department, and then looked at the dark void above the city again.
