On this morning in early autumn, at Chen time, the white frost subsided, and streaks of fog hung on the blue-black city walls.
When the sun fully rises from the horizon, these wet traces reflect bright golden light, like an inverted fence that keeps out enemies, or like a golden spear that wants to swallow people's lives.
But that didn't stop it from facing the enemy.
When Mu Qing and Murong Jing arrived at the agreed time, the south gate of the inner city had been breached by the Hidden Valley side.
Looking at the intact city wall and the slightly damaged city gate, Mu Qing recognized it in an instant. Even the traces near the city gate were left by them several times before.
"They didn't resist?"
Murong Jing said softly, with a hint of surprise in her voice.
Huaifenghua obviously stayed near the city gate to wait for the two of them. When she saw them, she immediately showed her figure and frowned: "It was the personal guards who took the initiative to shrink their formation and gave up on the south gate."
Afraid that Mu Qing would not realize the seriousness of the problem, Huaifenghua reminded: "Except for a personal guard team under Dugu Wei, who are still guarding those five places honestly, everyone else has gone in."
Mu Qing's face was extremely ugly. The discussion last night was actually quite effective. The Hidden Valley side was divided into three parts. He, Qinglong and the others went to find Baihu. Murong Jinghe would divide them to rescue people. The rest of the people were led by Chen Zhuo. Act according to the situation and coordinate with all parties.
He talked about Bai Hao's vague preparations last night, and he said so much. He just hoped that everyone would not underestimate the enemy and rush in, and fall into Bai Hao's trap in vain.
But now it seems that human nature cannot withstand the temptation in the face of easy victory.
"Then let's go rescue people quickly! What about Li Fu? He should know where Yueshan and the others are being held."
Murong Jing always remembered the business. She glanced at Mu Qing's face and was about to tell her to be careful before leaving. Huaifenghua rarely smiled and said: "I will wait for you here because Yueshan and the others have saved themselves."
After Huaifenghua finished speaking, she led the two of them to fly straight over the city wall and towards a military camp on the left. In front of a military tent, Mu Qing had already seen Wang Yeqing's figure.
Several people looked at each other and nodded, and then said hello. Wang Yeqing opened the curtain of the military tent and whispered: "Hengyu is also inside. He said that Geshan has something to tell you."
"What's going on?" Upon hearing Geshan's name, Mu Qing's expression was really complicated.
After everyone entered the military tent, the space became a little narrow.
When Mu Qing saw the three Liu Yueshan girls who were still wearing their military armor, he finally felt relieved and was about to say a few words of concern when Heng Yu burst into his sight and said in a deep voice: "Brother Mu, the matter is very serious. "
Heng Yu led the three women all the way to the south gate. With the badge given by Ge Shan, there was no obstruction. However, due to the darkness and the fact that there were three ordinary women behind him, when he came to the south gate, there were no signs of fighting. It extends from the Central Axis Avenue to Yanfufang and Xingyefang.
Mu Qing had just been concerned about Liu Yueshan's safety. When he came back to his senses, he could hear clearly what was going on in the city. Compared to the sounds of the buildings collapsing, the sounds of fighting seemed sporadic and scattered. I don’t know what the Hidden Valley people who rushed into the inner city were doing.
"What's going on in Geshan?" Mu Qing asked.
Heng Yu's eyes had already glanced at the three women behind Mu Qing, especially after seeing the positions of Murong Jing and Mu Qing. He changed his name and said, "Sir, the formation Bai Hao prepared is called the blood sacrifice formation. He tried to pass the blood sacrifice. The blood energy of the hundreds of thousands of people in the inner city broke through from the blood demon body to the Shura body."
In fact, Hengyu didn't know what a blood demon body was and what a Shura body was. Geshan didn't explain it at the time, so he could only keep it in his heart. After he said it, he looked at the expressions of Mu Qing and others.
"This..." Murong Jing looked at Mu Qing with interest. This was very close to a guess she got from Xuanwu, but at the time, even she didn't believe it.
Mu Qing's face became extremely solemn. He raised his eyes and met Heng Yu's eyes. He couldn't help but said seriously: "How to destroy this blood sacrifice formation?"
Seeing the solemn expressions on the faces of Mu Qing and others, Heng Yu suppressed the curiosity in his heart, pursed his lips and drew out his long sword seriously, drew a horizontal line on the ground, and painted on the ground while filling it with He said seriously: "This is the south gate we set up, and this is the inner city. When these five places are connected, they will just surround the inner city..."
Several people in the tent were all breathing, listening to Hengyu's story with full attention. When Hengyu said the key words, he would pause for a moment, as if he was carefully recalling whether there were any mistakes. At the end of the sentence, he looked up at Mu Qing and said: "The Blood Sacrifice Array coincides with the yin and yang of heaven and earth. Now the death energy is the Yin Eye. If you want to break the Blood Sacrifice Array brazenly arranged by Bai Hao, you must do it when the Yin Eye penetrates the line and comes back to life. Five places took action at the same time to destroy the formation patterns on the ground."
"What will happen if a place is destroyed by force?" A cold female voice sounded.
Heng Yu looked at Murong Jing who was asking the question, recalled for a moment, shook his head with apology, "I was just writing down this information and forgot to ask. However, Mr. Geshan said that these places have already cultivated strong... The death aura, Lord Suzaku must already know this situation."
Wang Yeqing, who had been silent all this time, suddenly asked: "Geshan only said how to break the Yin Eye, so where is the Yang Eye?"
Mu Qing's eyes lit up, and when he met the eyes of several women, they all turned sideways and looked towards the end of the central axis avenue... where was the City Lord's Mansion.
Mu Qing said in a deep voice: "Bai Hao used to cultivate the Blood Demon Body underground in the City Lord's Mansion. Now that he has broken through this Shura Body, it may still be there!"
Things have reached this point, and the situation has overturned in an instant. If it is not stopped, Bai Hao may start the blood sacrifice formation in the next moment.
Heng Yu suddenly realized the seriousness of the problem. He just wanted to complete Ge Shan's entrustment and tell Mu Qing the matter in detail, but he forgot about such a delay. Although it was just a cup of tea, it might make Hidden Valley There were serious casualties.
He couldn't help but suddenly raised his head and looked at Mu Qing and said: "It's too late! Moreover, Mr. Ge only talked about the method to break the Yin Eye. I have handed the person over to the Young Master, and now I have to find Shopkeeper Chen!"
This was not something that could be accomplished by one person. After Hengyu finished speaking, seeing that Mu Qing and the others had no intention of stopping him, he rushed out of the military tent.
Liu Yueshan listened half-comprehensively, but she also understood that the matter was serious. Just as she was about to speak, Huaifenghua said first, "Sister Wang has already prepared a carriage. Yueshan, you all, come with me."
"Sister Yueshan, please be careful!"
"You too, brother."
From the time they entered the camp to the time they left, as Mu Qing and the others were the main rescue targets, Liu Yueshan and he only had time to say this, and followed Huaifenghua without delay.
Mu Qing and the other two people were guarding them, watching Huaifenghua driving the carriage on the avenue towards the mud legs in the southwest of the city. The lines on their faces that had been slightly relaxed immediately became extremely tense, and the three of them flew up to the city. The head is found to be able to see further.
Wang Yeqing said softly: "Your aunt and I are in charge of the same place. She sent Yue Shan and the others to Zhang Zhiyuan and will come to me directly."
Wang Yeqing said this. After the two girls returned home after finishing their work, they left each other to find a way to find each other.
Mu Qing opened his mouth. For a moment, he had many words of caution to be careful. When he looked at Wang Yeqing's face, he suddenly realized that Wang Yeqing was just like his teacher along the way. Many of his attitudes and methods of dealing with problems came from her. What he learned, at the end, Mu Qing just nodded and said softly: "The karma of death is a great cause and effect. I don't know if I can suck it out this time like before..."
Wang Yeqing rarely raised his eyebrows and chuckled: "Okay, I'm of the same generation as your aunt. I don't need you, a young boy, to teach me how to do things. But you two should put your own safety first in everything. Let's go."
Even if Hengyu didn't list those five locations, the girls in Wanhua Valley would immediately have the location in their minds when they thought of it. After all, they had been observing the strangeness of these places a lot these days.
Seeing Wang Yeqing heading straight to the south gate of the outer city, Mu Qing was also a little excited. Thinking of the woman who was still accompanying him, he muttered: "You have already mastered the Nirvana Technique. Bai Hao's karmic fire is no threat to you." Da, it’s better for me to destroy those places of death.”
Murong Jingqi squinted her eyes and said with a smile: "There are so many of us, you are the one who wants to get to know him the most, right? Don't worry, although the death aura has some influence on me, the worst thing is just not to touch him."
"That?" Mu Qing's expression was gentle.
Murong Jing glanced around, took off her mask, raised her head slightly and came closer to his arms, and said softly: "I will protect these women outside for you, and you will protect yourself for me. Okay?"
Mu Qing gently held her face, kissed her forehead, and said with a smile: "You have the highest level of cultivation, but if you don't go in, will you be called a deserter by them?"
"Let them agree, I only care about what I care about." Murong Jing's voice sounded in the crook of Mu Qing's neck, her affection was sincere, but she returned to the sassy posture when they first met.
But what she was embarrassed to say was another sentence, she only cared about what he cared about.
After the two hugged each other briefly, they looked at each other, smiled and said goodbye, heading south and north, but no one thought about how long it would take to see each other again.
The closer he got to Yanfu Temple where the battle broke out, the uglier Mu Qing's face became.
He did not immediately go to join the auras temporarily trapped in the military formation in front of him, but went to find Chen Zhuo first.
Along the way, Chen Zhuo couldn't find anything. He saw a lot of bad things like burning, killing and looting. Moreover, the initiator of these bad things was the person from the Hidden Valley who he had patiently tried to persuade last night and was worried about their lives.
After he killed a few people, he saw that the situation did not improve at all. Even after those people discovered a rich man's treasure house and began to draw swords on their companions, they left in silence.
It was also what he saw at this time that made him understand that these people in the middle and lower classes in Hidden Valley were actually not much different from the bandits and bandits in Iron Bone Village. This discovery made him more determined to leave Hidden Valley. It would be best if I can take everyone with me.
