Volume 1 Xanadu Chapter 8 Human Nature

Under the cover of night, there was silence in Xingcun.

The whole village was silenced by the darkness of the night.

"Bell"

A crisp and melodious gong sounded the silence.

Liu Han walked slowly on the road in the village, striking the gong from time to time, as the only night watchman in the village, he had no wife and no children, and spent most of his life on this.

There is no concern, it belongs to the kind of person who is fed and the whole family is not hungry, and receives the meager subsidy in the village every month, although it is not nourishing, but it is also a more enjoyable life.

At this time, he was probably the only one left in the entire village who had not yet fallen asleep.

In the past, although he was not a night watchman, he was not hard, but every night, in order to prevent wild beasts from coming to the village in the middle of the night, he had to keep patrolling, and he did not dare to be sloppy at all, and indeed drove away the wild beasts that came outside the village in the middle of the night a few times, and even killed them a few times, and the village also opened a few meat dishes because of this.

But now, not only are there no wild beasts around, but even the low wall of the village, which was originally used to protect against wild beasts, has been demolished in order to expand the village.

Now he had time to stop and rest for a while.

Liu Han walked slowly on the road in the village, and suddenly, he glanced casually in the direction of Changsheng Mountain, but was immediately attracted to his gaze.

On the Changsheng Mountain, the whole mountain was surrounded by fog at this time, but the fog was not white, but under the light of the bright moonlight, it showed a faint red, and this red color was constantly deepening. Constantly changing to the color of blood.

——————

On the Immortal Mountain, people began to rush down the mountain again. However, instead of going to the foot of the mountain, he went to the other eight Taoist temples.

From the first temple on the top of the mountain, a group of people quickly reached the next temple, however, it was already crowded with people, but there were still people desperately squeezing inside at the door.

"Don't squeeze it! Fuck, they're all going to be squeezed to death, they're not dying outside, they're all going to be squeezed to death by you. ”

A burly man shouted.

However, no one paid any attention to him.

Only inside can you live, if you don't squeeze it, you will die, in front of death, squeeze what's the big deal.

This is something that most people agree with.

"Damn, get out of here!"

The strong man saw that no one paid attention to himself, but he was still squeezing inside, he was furious, and slammed forward, the man was already at the door a little inside, at this time, a large number of people who were originally in the door were squeezed out of the Taoist temple, and the Taoist temple was suddenly tolerated a lot.

However, some people fell to the ground as soon as they went out and turned into white bones, and the people who were squeezed out began to be stunned, but when they saw that some people died immediately, they hurriedly squeezed into the Taoist temple, but at the moment they came out, someone had already taken the opportunity to squeeze in, which led to the fact that some people who were originally inside couldn't squeeze in at this time anyway.

"Damn, get out of here!"

Seeing that he couldn't get in, a man pulled the people inside, but before he could get in, a sound of wind came to his ears. Another man with a stick in the back hit him on the head with a stick.

The man fell, and the blood on his head fell to the ground, but it was quickly absorbed.

"Boom"

The man's body suddenly dried up, and after a breeze caused by the movement of the person, it also turned into a white bone.

"Hiss"

Someone gasped, they thought it was some kind of ghost doing it, but they didn't expect to be killed by someone with the same result.

However, since someone is dead, there is one less person to compete with them for a place. As long as you don't threaten yourself, no matter how many others die, it doesn't matter.

However, someone noticed this, squinted for a while, and slowly squeezed out of the crowd.

When he squeezed to the door, he grabbed the clothes of one of the people inside, pulled them out, and with a slight stroke on his neck, the man who was caught fell to the ground, and quickly turned into a white bone.

If you look closely, you will see that the man is holding a short dagger in his hand. It was this little dagger that ended the life of the man who was dragged out just now.

He wasn't a hunter, he wasn't a villager, he was a guard hired by a merchant, but the merchant had been reduced to bones on the way, and he just had to live now to get back to his old life.

After the man killed the other man, he stood in in a dignified manner, even though there was no place around, the people around him couldn't help but squeeze on both sides, although it was useless, but they still didn't want to get too close to the man.

And the man's actions seem to be a fuse.

"Snort"

A sharp wooden spear was pierced into the stomach of the man standing at the door, and a man with a wooden spear saw that he had succeeded, and pulled out the wooden spear violently, and by the way, the man was also pulled out, and the injury, which was not supposed to die immediately, turned the man into white bones in an instant.

There were several white bones lying on the ground, but not a drop of blood.

Death at the sight of blood

The war began.

A war between insiders and outsiders.

And such wars began to appear gradually at the gates of the eight Taoist temples, and they continued to expand.

Often, a person who has just killed the inside of the door is killed by someone else before he has time to wake up.

Naturally, they didn't really kill people directly, as long as there were wounds, it was equivalent to pronouncing death.

And the man with a dagger in his hand was invincible with both fists after all, and his four hands were beaten with a stick and turned into a white bone, and he was lucky to enter the Taoist temple when he was dying, maybe he would not die if he was injured inside, but in the end it was only in vain.

The death continued, but much faster, and people were constantly injured, except for those who fell inexplicably.

I don't know how long it took for the war to subside.

When the remaining people looked around, they sadly found that even though they were all in the Taoist temple at this time, there was still a small half of the Taoist temple at this time.

The situation of the other seven Taoist temples is similar to this Taoist temple.

In the Taoist temple, in addition to people, there are also white bones, even if they are injured inside, they still can't stop the arrival of death.

Outside the Taoist temple, the lines on the ground have completely turned as bright red as blood.

And the wooden stakes in the Taoist temple have turned into sawdust at some point.

From the sawdust, bits of white light flew towards the boulders and clods, and the boulders and clods flickered white again, but then flickered again like a dying throe, and then completely dimmed.

"Buzz"

There was a humming sound coming from the boulders and clods of dirt.

"Jump"

There was a loud bang, and even the whole mountain shook slightly, and the blood-red lines on the ground suddenly shone brightly.

If someone looks closely at the sky, they will find that all the patterns seem to be composed of nine small patterns, like nine formations, and the center of the formation is the location of those Taoist temples.

After a loud bang, the stones and clods of earth enshrined in the nine Taoist temples cracked directly, and all the people around them were not spared from being penetrated by the rocks.

Nine faint black lights appeared in the Taoist temple, and at this time, there were no living people in the Taoist temple, only white bones.

Suddenly, a large number of red silk threads began to appear in the Taoist temple, flying out of the ground and entering the black light.

As the silk threads continued to enter, the black light gradually increased, and the morning fog in the mountains gradually dissipated, and those lines gradually dimmed.

"Bang"

Nine black rays of light flew into the air through the roof of the Taoist temple, and began to fly towards the back mountain of Changsheng Mountain under the moonlight, gradually disappearing into the moonlight.

And Liu Han, this night watchman is the only living person who witnessed this scene..................
