"Master, if we don't go directly to the Lin Mansion and wait for the zombies to appear, why are we going to the City God's Temple?"
Mu Zhi was very puzzled and followed the old man to the Chenghuang Temple.
Seeing his apprentice's doubts, the old man stroked his beard and was about to regain some dignity as a teacher, when he heard Ren Rui say:
"The lunatic is there in the Lin Mansion, we can go there anytime.
Instead, it would be better to learn about what happened back then from the local city god. "
"What is there to understand? I saw it all in the illusion."
Mu Zhi curled her lips, feeling that it was unnecessary.
Ren Rui said: "Muzhi, you are a little biased in hearing and believing. This is a big taboo."
"Oh~~I know!"
As soon as she heard the sermon, Mu Zhi immediately became impatient.
The three of them soon arrived at the City God's Temple. A messenger inside saw the three of them and immediately informed the City God.
After a while, I saw the city god personally leading people to greet him.
After the two sides exchanged pleasantries, they got down to business.
Cheng Huang said that what Mu Zhi saw was almost the same, except for one difference.
That is, Lin Min is not an adopted son, but the biological son of the head of the Lin family.
The old man who talks nonsense actually suffers from mild senile madness and likes to talk nonsense.
As a result, Lin Min believed it to be true, and this led to a series of events that followed.
When the three of them heard this, they were all greatly surprised.
...
On the Lin Mansion side, an incense case and an offering table have been set up in the courtyard.
The thin domestic pig had been washed and tied on the altar table.
The pig seemed to have predicted its fate and howled on the altar table.
Lin Xuexuan, who was already a little worried, felt quite irritated when he heard the sound, and ordered someone to gag him.
Seeing that the sun was about to set on the horizon, Lin Xuexuan asked someone to take out the hidden coffin lid and place it in the middle of the yard.
After doing this, he ordered his subordinates to retreat outside the courtyard and gather all the other Lin clan members at the ancestral hall, leaving only him in the middle of the courtyard.
Soon, Gu Junbo, who took time out of his busy schedule, arrived with a group of soldiers.
The soldiers held glutinous rice, black donkey hooves, cooking wine, cinnabar, kitchen knives, etc. and hid in the surrounding houses.
The couple stood in the center of the courtyard, facing the incense table and altar.
Seeing the sun completely setting, Lin Xuexuan couldn't help but become nervous.
Gu Junbo, who was wearing armor and holding a sword hanging at his waist, saw this and reached out to hold his hand.
Being pulled by his wife, Lin Xuexuan suddenly felt certain in his heart and his breathing became calmer.
Only the thin domestic pig on the altar table was struggling and seemed extremely frightened.
"Madam, is what Mr. Shanyuan said really useful?"
Lin Xuexuan looked around and saw Ye Ming nowhere to be seen, still feeling a little unsure.
Gu Junbo said: "Since the master has helped us achieve this step, we should complete the rest ourselves."
As he was talking, he suddenly heard a call coming from a distance. The voice, obviously full of resentment, kept calling "Lin Qingmin".
When the couple heard the sound, they couldn't help but become nervous and looked outside together.
Soon, two zombies were seen walking as fast as flying, climbing over the wall and landing directly in the yard.
When Lin Xuexuan saw these two ferocious zombies, his face turned pale and his body trembled slightly.
But with Gu Junbo by his side, he quickly calmed down and seemed to have the courage to dig out the coffin with his own hands a few days ago.
The two zombies landed on the ground and did not attack anyone. Instead, they stared at the thin domestic pig tied up on the altar table.
When the pig saw these two zombies, there was an anthropomorphic look in its eyes, and even though its mouth was gagged, it howled forcibly.
But the two zombies were clearly not frightened by the sound of a pig.
The two zombies were seen as if they were enemies they hated deeply. They pounced on the thin domestic pig and devoured it alive. The scene was extremely bloody.
Seeing this, Lin Xuexuan's body trembled slightly.
He had already realized something since the kind gentleman asked him to sacrifice the pig.
Seeing the miserable condition of the domestic pigs at this time, it is inevitable to feel sad.
Gu Junbo stretched out his hand to hold Lin Xuexuan in his arms, one hand on the hilt of the sword, and his body tensed.
The two zombies left the altar covered with blood, and the whole pig was eaten clean.
After eating the two pigs, the two zombies hugged each other and cried. Their cries were so sad that the listeners were sad and the listeners shed tears.
The couple was also somewhat affected and remained silent.
The two zombies were crying, and the humanity in them began to disappear quickly. Even ordinary people who didn't know how to do it could feel that they were beginning to become cruel and cold-blooded.
After another cry, the two zombies stopped crying and suddenly stood up.
Looking at it now, there is no trace of humanity in the two of them, they are no different from ordinary zombies.
Seeing this, Gu Junbo pushed Lin Xuexuan aside, pulled out the sword from his waist, and shouted the word "kill".
The soldiers hiding in the surrounding rooms rushed out quickly, and some people surrounded them with ink lines stained with chicken blood.
Someone sprinkled glutinous rice on the ground to restrain the zombies.
Another person splashed black dog blood and threw black donkey hooves...
Facing a targeted attack by a group of people, two irrational zombies would just rush and fight, making it difficult to defeat them.
Only his body is as strong as gold and iron, and cannot be hurt by ordinary swords.
Although chicken blood, glutinous rice, etc. are effective, their effectiveness is really limited.
Fortunately, the sword in Gu Junbo's hand is extremely sharp, and with the recent murderous aura, it can kill zombies.
The two zombies fought with everyone, and after injuring several people, they were killed by Gu Junbo with a sword.
Gu Junbo used his sword to take the teeth of zombies and grind them into powder to detoxify everyone.
Later, they gathered firewood and kerosene to burn the two corpses.
The two corpses no longer looked as magical as before, unable to withstand the fire and turned into ashes.
In this way, this misfortune will finally be solved.
Mu Zhi, who was watching the scene with the city god in the air, looked at Jingzhou Lao Dao:
"Master, the zombies were wiped out by a group of mortals. Is my experience completed?"
"Ahem, no matter what, it is a good thing that the evil monsters are destroyed. You should not care too much about your own gains and losses. You still need to hone yourself. You still need to hone yourself."
"Oh, I understand, it means that my training mission has not been completed, right?"
Old Taoist Jingzhou stopped talking and just looked at the blazing fire.
Ren Rui said with a smile: "It's just right. You can also take this opportunity to travel more in the world and see more of human things. It's also good."
When Mu Zhi heard this, she frowned a little:
"But I still feel comfortable staying in the door. I have clothes on my back, food on my hands, and food to open my mouth. I don't go anywhere and don't have to do anything. That's my ideal."
When Ren Rui heard this, he just smiled and said nothing more.
Mu Zhi glanced around and said doubtfully:
"Strange, where did that madman go?"
Upon hearing this, Master Jingzhou turned around and spoke to the City God, ignoring his disciple's questions.
After saying a few words, Ren Rui said that the matter was over and he could find other things suitable for Mu Zhi's experience.
In this way, the three of them left...
Below, after the corpse was burned, everyone felt a lot more relaxed.
Lin Xuexuan and his wife looked around for Mr. Shanyuan, but they couldn't find any trace of him.
This is a bit strange. Gu Junbo looked at the sword in his hand and said:
"Didn't this person want me to wear a sword? Why did he leave without saying goodbye?"
But there was no time for them to do anything else at this time. After dealing with the zombie incident, Gu Junbo devoted himself wholeheartedly to the defense of Jiangji Mansion.
Nothing happened in the first two days. On the third day, when the sky was dark, someone approached secretly outside the city.
Several soldiers on sentry duty were quietly disposed of.
Fortunately, the secret whistle discovered the abnormality and sounded the alarm bell in time.
The bells in the city rang, and all the soldiers immediately entered a state of preparation for war.
When the people outside the city saw that seizing the door secretly was not possible, they directly set up their formation and came in a swaggering manner.
When the people on the city looked around, they saw flags fluttering outside the city, chariots and horses, and countless siege engines and catapults.
People came in dense masses like ants, and the momentum was terrifying.
Someone with good eyesight recognized through the enemy's flag that this was the army led by Li Yuanyi, the chief security officer of the "Yi" gate, one of the thirteen chief security officers under Li Zhu.
When they heard that it was this person, everyone was nervous, but also secretly relieved.
Li Zhu had thirteen Taibao under his command, and the one who was most capable of conquering and fighting was Li Yuanxiao, the Taibao of the "Xiao" sect.
It is said that Tinghu Mansion was led by this person to attack, and his bravery is evident.
Gu Junbo, wearing armor and holding a sword, strode to the top of the city, looked at the menacing enemy in the distance, and asked the people around him:
"When will the reinforcements from Commander Meng arrive?"
"After one round trip, and with the mobilization of troops and horses, we will probably arrive in eight days."
Gu Junbo heard this, nodded, and looked firmly outside the city, his momentum was much stronger than the previous few days.
"Eight days is not long. Make all preparations and hold on to the eight days!"
The army marched all the way under the city, first "throwing stones to ask for directions" and "planting rice seedlings under rain of arrows", then building bridges with floating logs and ropes, and forcibly crossing the moat. Soldiers with shields and armor also carried battering rams to the door to knock it down, and some people built ladders under the city wall to attack the city. .
The defenders in the city used thundering stones, rolling wood, and golden poisonous arrows to defend against the enemy. There were spearmen, shield soldiers, and archers at the top of the city to suppress the enemy troops climbing up the ladder.
The two sides fought fiercely, with heads rolling and blood flowing.
When the armies were fighting, many ghosts and monsters mingled among the armies of both sides, doing sneaky things secretly.
The City God's Office gathered all the evil spirits to work together to eliminate ghosts and suppress evil spirits.
For a time, both humans and ghosts were fighting.
This battle lasted from early morning to sunset. Both sides suffered numerous casualties, and the bricks and tiles on the city wall were red.
The Jin army failed to capture Jiangji Mansion in the first battle, and the Jin army was not discouraged. Whether it was fighting power or fighting will, it was by no means comparable to ordinary mountain bandits.
The next day, the "Jin Army" who had rested for the night attacked again, and Gu Junbo personally led his men to fight with them...
For five consecutive days, Jiangji Mansion was never breached.
However, the city wall has been damaged in many places, making it extremely difficult to defend the city.
In the past few days, the enemy has dug out the outside of the moat and drained the river water, making the attack much less difficult.
After many battles, Gu Junbo has become a general. He remains calm in the face of danger and leads everyone to continue to fight.
Until the eighth day, no reinforcements arrived.
However, they were unable to contact the outside world at this time and could only defend the city.
The Jin army continued to attack for many days and failed to capture Jiangji Mansion. They were anxious and launched another attack.
However, Gu Junbo personally led his men to kill him, and he even dared to lead his troops to fight out, rushing out of the city and killing many Jin troops.
After this battle, the Jin army that still had strength suddenly retreated, as if something was urgent.
Later, when the battle report came, the defenders learned that Meng Tong did not send anyone here for support, but chose to send troops to attack another important town of the Jin army, and the Jin army here had to return for reinforcements.
The siege of Jiangji Mansion was thus solved.
When Gu Junbo heard about this, she sat on the top of the city in an unfeminine manner, resting with a sword in one hand. Knowing that the crisis was finally over, if Jiang Jifu's side hadn't suffered heavy losses, she would have wanted to take the opportunity to lead the team and win the title. Chase and kill the retreating Jin army.
While she was resting, she suddenly saw a person appearing in front of her. It was Ye Ming who had disappeared for many days without a trace.
Although Ye Ming still looked crazy at this time, he felt much more stable, more like a "normal" madman than the abnormal madman before.
Seeing Gu Junbo, Ye Ming laughed crazily and said:
"Woman, you must leave your sword in my hand."
Hearing this, Gu Junbo wiped the sword that had been stained red with blood with his sleeve, sheathed it, and handed it to Ye Ming:
"Don't worry, sir, I will never break my promise."
Ye Ming took the sword and laughed loudly, smiled and disappeared before Gu Junbo's eyes, leaving only the sound in the air:
"Learn the sword and bow to march on the road, and hold the military talisman in the mandarin duck's sleeve.
Since ancient times, women have been willing to accept it, so why should a general be their husband? "
...
