The fire is engulfing their homes, and the surviving residents are standing loosely nearby, quietly watching their belongings and loved ones turn to ashes, with no sadness or joy on their faces, but a look of bewilderment, some of them carrying buckets of water in their hands and not stepping forward to put out the fire, and many more are empty-handed, as if the fire has nothing to do with them at all.

The population of the town was not large, and there were only three or four hundred people left, like a small animal that had never seen a beast of prey on a lonely island, and watched it play majestic, not understanding what it meant, let alone knowing that a great calamity was coming.

The human race and the demon clan are preparing for a decisive battle in the distance, and the officials in the town are bullying the people as always, but this is not a fatal problem, the decisive battle will definitely be won, but it is just a matter of who can be lucky enough to come back alive, and the officials are easy to take care of, and everyone knows how much to pay.

How could calamity come inexplicably? What about the Imperial Capital and the Dao Tong Tower, a hundred miles away? Aren't the Taoist priests protecting all human beings? For nearly a year, the spells that have come from there have made mortals feel refreshed and happy, and they have even made them believe that all their problems will eventually be solved, only to suddenly come out of nowhere.

The spell of the Dao Tong Pagoda had disappeared last night, and the cultivators felt it clearly, but the mortals didn't notice it.

The fire waned, and the night reappeared with a cold countenance, as if silently mocking the ignorance of humanity. Only then did everyone realize that it took less than three hours from the beginning to the end of the disaster.

"What the hell is going on?"

"What about the Keepers? What about the tolerances? They should know something. ”

"They are all dead, and I saw with my own eyes that the government office was hit by two fireballs in succession, and none of the people inside escaped. ”

"I'm the only one at home who ran out of town, and when I came back, how could I explain it, woo woo......"

"Old man Luo, isn't this your son......? Wasn't he dead a few months ago?"

"A fire is burning again, and lo and behold. My son is not the only one alive. ”

Although there was no explanation, the survivors finally got out of their confusion and showed their emotions and six desires, some stomping their feet and scolding the streets, some screaming in pain, some feeling very happy, and some rushing into the ruins of the town to find something to use. There were a few young people in the crowd who were particularly noticeable, who were supposed to join the army, but all of them died of illness one after another. Or they are missing for various reasons, but now they are all standing here alive.

The people in the government were burned to death, and the people naturally did not meddle in their affairs.

Three figures flew in the distance, one landed, and the other two stayed in mid-air.

"It's Master Fu!" the crowd gathered around and asked about the situation.

The Fu Master who landed on the ground was about forty years old, wearing a seven-fold crown on his head, and he should be an important person in the Dragon Bin Society, raising his hands. Said majestically: "Listen, all of them have been attacked within a radius of five hundred miles, and the situation beyond five hundred miles is not clear, but the imperial capital is still there." Everyone went there for refuge. ”

There were more questions from the crowd, "What the hell is going on with these fires?" Are the demon clans attacking?", "Do Emperor Ci and Empress Xun know about these things?" "Why don't the Taoist priests put out the fire?"

The Sevenfold Crown Talisman Master waved his hand and said with a little anger: "I don't have time to explain this to you, so if you want to live, go to the east." Longbin will recruit laborers. People over the age of fifteen and under the age of forty stood up, both men and women. ”

"What? Even a woman has to be a laborer? Fifteen years old is still a child. ”

The Sevenfold Crown was furious and threw a paper talisman on the ground. A thick smoke rose more than ten zhang high, and the people all shut up, they had long been accustomed to obeying the orders of the government, if there was a loophole to drill, they would naturally not let it go, but in front of the officials, no one dared to resist.

Fu Gong Shi is not an official errand, they have a higher status than an official errand.

Several young men who had escaped the conscription were the first to walk to the place designated by the Fu Gong Division, looking back at their parents with pale faces, followed by more than twenty young women. There were also some boys and girls in the crowd, who tried to bend their knees to appear shorter, but they were all pointed out by the sevenfold crown.

"He is only fourteen years old, Master Fu Gong, he is only fourteen years old, he has an elder brother who has been requisitioned by the Holy Rune Army, and my man has just been burned to death. An old woman pleaded.

"Just be tall enough. The sevenfold crown pushed away the pestering old woman, and the sacrifice talisman conjured up three long logs, and ordered the chosen laborers to sit down, "This is a great battle of unprecedented proportion, the enemy comes from all sides, no one can avoid it, everyone must participate, today it is them, tomorrow it will be you." ”

The three talisman masters in the air and on the ground sacrificed talismans at the same time, and took nearly fifty young men and women into the air and flew to the southwest, most of the mortals on the log went to the sky for the first time in their lives, and they were so frightened that they didn't dare to move, and they couldn't even look back at their relatives.

This conscription was even short, as sudden as a fire attack, and it was not standardized, and even the names of the people were not recorded, until the Fu Master disappeared, and the people did not react, and it was too late to ask.

Families who have lost their loved ones again wept loudly.

"Don't cry, go to the Imperial Palace, maybe you can see them there. ”

"But Master Fu took them to the southwest, isn't the imperial capital in the southeast?"

"I guess I went to other villages and towns to continue recruiting people. ”

The rest of the people had no choice but to take the few remaining possessions and walk on the official road to the imperial capital, crying sadly for a while, sighing in confusion for a while, if there was not a place to go ahead, they would really collapse.

At dawn, a small group of knights galloped from the direction of the imperial capital, and the people let go on the side of the road, and a hope was born in their hearts.

There were a total of ten knights, nine soldiers of the Yellow Fu Army, and a five-fold crown talisman master wearing iron armor.

"Where do you want to go?" asked the five-fold crown talisman master, who was very young, about twenty-three or four years old, and had the delicate face of a nobleman.

"Take refuge in the Imperial Palace. Someone timidly replied that although the Longbin Society had a higher status, the people were still more afraid of the soldiers in armor, and if there was a tolerance for swords, they would be even more afraid.

The five-fold crown frowned slightly, and waited for the people to gather a few before saying loudly: "Last night, the Daotong Tower overturned, and the imperial capital was destroyed by the heavenly fire, and my Fu clan royal family was spared, and a camp has been set up thirty miles away from here, so you can go and defect." ”

This news suddenly caused the crowd to explode, surrounding the ten knights, and the people behind them also hurried up.

"Didn't you say that the imperial capital was fine?" "What about the people who took away?" "Give back my son!" "Give back my daughter!"

The five-fold crown had never experienced such a thing, and his face turned red. No one listened to what they said, and in the end, it was the nine soldiers who drew their long swords that the people stopped the siege, and many people were still crying.

The five-fold crown breathed a sigh of relief, "Wait for Hugh to panic and listen to me." The Huangjing disaster, the lives were devastated, the Fu royal family turned the tide and saved the people from fire and water. Taking advantage of this national crisis to stand on my own, I am a royal family and am ordered to hunt down the traitors. ”

The people stared blankly at the young knight, not understanding a word.

The Fivefold Crown had to change his way of speaking, "Dozens of high-level talisman masters of the Longbin Society betrayed the Holy Rune Dynasty, and they took away your relatives, and they had no good intentions. ”

The crowd was silent for a moment, and then suddenly the cry shook the sky, and the worst happened.

The five-fold crown kept waving his hands. Motioned to the people to stop crying, "Where did the Fu Master flee to the thief? ”

Everyone understood this sentence and pointed to the southwest, and one of the people was not so gullible. Mustard up the courage and say loudly: "Those three talismans can fly, you can't—can you fight?"

"The traitor has a weak heart, how dare he resist the Holy Rune Army?"

The people were silent, they did not know magic. It was not clear who was strong and who was weak, but from the words of this royal family, they could not hear the possibility of victory.

Fu Lin sensed the mistrust of the people. Slightly annoyed in his heart, he waved his hand, and the nine soldiers behind him rushed up, dispersed the crowd, and walked forward, secretly determined to take down the betrayer in one fell swoop.

The people who fled were either old people or children, and Fu Lin saw two exceptions, a middle-aged man in tattered clothes and an ugly appearance, and a young and beautiful woman wearing a flame robe, the woman hid behind the man, not like a husband and wife, nor like a master and servant, but like a human abduction.

If in normal times, Fu Lin must take care of this idle matter, but today he has important things to do, he hesitated a little in his heart, but he still accelerated and left, deeply sympathetic to what happened to the woman.

The fleeing civilians were in a panic, some moving on, hoping that the royal camp would really exist, while others remained in place and were overwhelmed.

The old couple of Luo didn't move, the old woman was crying and crying, the old man was restless, and finally left his son at home, but he didn't expect to be deceived by the Fu Master of the Longbin Society.

In the critical moment, some people's brains turned faster, and Luo Laohan also saw a man and a woman standing on the side of the road, they looked too young among the refugees, and their faces were raw, and no one remembered how they got into the team.

Luo Laohan remembered the tattered clothes.

He pushed the old woman's palm away, and with an inexplicable emotion, strode over to the two men, his eyes unblinking, for fear that they would disappear in the blink of an eye.

The old woman stopped crying and looked at her husband's figure in amazement, not understanding what he was going to do.

"I know you, you are...... Are you Mu Xingqiu?" Luo Laohan believed that he would not be able to find such tattered clothes within a radius of dozens of miles.

Mu Xingqiu snorted, Zuo Liuying asked him to give him a new name, but the other party remembered him, so naturally there was no need to make it up.

"You've become different. ”

"Hmm. ”

"Did you kill the Banshee?"

Mu Xingqiu pointed to the guard behind him.

Luo Laohan was taken aback, he remembered that this woman was a banshee in white, only much younger, and her expression was timid, and she didn't have that crazy energy.

Luo Laohan knelt down, "Please save my son." ”

Mu Xingqiu shook his head, he didn't catch up with the three Fu Masters to recruit labor, and even if he did, he might not interfere, he walked in the crowd, he just wanted to feel their emotions, not help.

"The disaster is not over yet, you will die eventually, what is the use of saving?" Mu Xingqiu didn't feel guilty at all when he said this.

Luo Laohan just kowtowed, some people saw it, they didn't know why, they also came to kowtow, they didn't dare to breathe, Mu Xingqiu was still unmoved, the people kowtowed, he shook his head, "I have no reason to do this, it's meaningless, there is still mana ready to go between heaven and earth, you still care about your life and death." ”

Mu Xingqiu didn't know how to cast spells, but his senses were extremely keen, and he found that last night's heavenly fire was just the beginning, and he didn't know when the next batch of disasters would come, mortals had nowhere to escape, and most of the talisman masters were difficult to survive.

Luo Laohan raised his head, and finally understood that it was useless to plead, half desperate and half resentful, he said loudly: "You have eaten a bowl of porridge in my house. ”

"I've eaten. Mu Xingqiu still remembers the taste of that bowl of porridge, which was an impressive delicacy for the hungry.

"I ask for something in return. Luo Laohan said even louder, and the people who knelt down with him were very surprised, and a bowl of porridge wanted to make the other party take risks, even in the most righteous era, it seemed that it could not be established.

Mu Xingqiu didn't refuse immediately, he felt a faint emotion in his heart.
