In a dream.
Water town on a moonlit night.
In the bluestone laneway, a thin mist spreads out and rolls over the stone bridge. Under the bridge, on the silent waves of the water, the awning boat swayed slightly, showing the indifference and tranquility after the bustling.
pity……
"boom!"
Smoke and dust suddenly exploded from the attic facing the street, broken bricks and tiles flew into the air, and severed limbs and blood rained down.
Two figures rushed out of the moonlit sky and landed on the stone bridge where the blood rain was splashing.
The two people landed lightly, but their steps caused a dent in the center of the bridge. Immediately afterwards, the two sides of the bridge suddenly lifted up and suddenly closed inward.
Turning over at the bottom of the bridge, there was actually a huge strange face, with eyes bent into slits and cheeks fluttering, as if chewing some delicious food.
But soon, the stone bridge monster's contented expression suddenly solidified, its eyes and cheeks swelled to the extreme at the same time, and a cold sword light leaked from the cracks in the stone. Immediately, the sword light surged, and the monster was shattered in an instant.
In the pile of rocks, the girl was slashing with her sword while breaking down and shouting:
"Why? Why? Why did everyone turn into monsters when the opportunity was clearly not triggered?!"
Why else?
Li Changan next to him muttered to himself.
It's not that once Feng Chong left, you, the master of the dream, were conspired and usurped by the emperor, and the country in this dream no longer belongs to you.
But at this time, there was no time to elaborate. There were still soldiers chasing behind.
Li Changan grabbed the helpless and furious girl and crawled into a bluestone lane next to the bridge.
Just entered the alley.
A dozen human faces suddenly appeared from the depths of the alley, but behind the faces was not a human body, but an insect body similar to an earthworm. They were entangled with each other and swarmed in, making people's scalp numb at the sight.
"impossible!"
The girl's eyes widened again.
"Uncle Qiu and his family only live under the city wall, why are they here?!"
"It doesn't matter if it's impossible, it's important to escape!"
The Taoist priest grabbed her by the back of her collar and jumped up to the ridge of the roof.
By then the clouds had dissipated.
The night sky was blue-grey, like a dead man's back, and the blood moon was like a sore on the skin, pouring out an endless stream of stinky moonlight that soaked the town.
The view is as far as the eye can see.
Under the moonlight, some screams, some strange, or some piercing howls came one after another. Countless grotesque monsters swarmed in from all directions, from deep alleys, from people's homes, from the streets, from the bottom of the water, trying to separate the only two living people in this monster city. And eat it.
Seeing this scene, the girl finally became more rational and gritted her teeth.
"follow me."
"where to?"
"My cave."
After a while.
"You call this thing a cave?"
In front of the two of them, a tall building with cornices and brackets rose straight into the sky, literally straight into the sky. This height was not a hole, it was clearly trying to poke a hole in the sky.
It is impossible for the real Xiaoshui City to have such a fantasy building, so this building is probably the girl's last bit of control over the dream.
"I want you to take care of it!"
The girl rolled her eyes and ran into the building.
The group of demons screamed and bit their butts and pushed them up.
Li Changan had no time to think and followed closely.
…………
Outside the dream.
Like a lamb surrounded by wolves, resistance seems to be a futile effort to stimulate the predator's appetite.
In the hall.
The leader of the demons, the "man" who claims to be the culprit behind the demon epidemic, let's call him Langzhong for the time being. He looked back and forth among the crowd with a calm and critical gaze, like a sophisticated eater picking out the meat on the chopping board.
outside the house.
Thick fog rolled in, and countless demons hid in it, making weird howls, peeping at the creatures in the house, and just waiting for an order, they all rushed in to feast.
People were gripped by fear and did not dare to cry, let alone run away.
However, at this time, Bo Ziyu's heart felt calm, dazed and confused, and even a little bit inexplicably funny.
He looked around.
Li Changan was still sitting cross-legged next to the altar, his eyes closed, and he was still asleep.
Yu Mei was still taciturn, but beneath that ghostly face, heavy breathing could be heard.
Zhang Yi still had the same stern look on his face. He methodically pulled off his cuffs and bandaged the tiger's mouth, and then pulled out another long knife.
And Feng Chong...
"Ah."
He let out a chuckle that was out of place. It was as if the monsters were not surrounding him, but he alone was surrounding all the monsters.
Not only everyone in the room, but also the doctor looked over with interest.
"Why is Taoist Master laughing?"
Under the gaze of both humans and monsters, Feng Chong still had time to put away the Patriarch's Divine Tablet on the altar, and then said calmly:
"The poor fish takes the bait, but he doesn't know it when death is imminent."
then.
Kicked over the altar.
Everyone was surprised to see that there was actually a wooden box two feet long hidden under the altar, with yellow talismans and straw tied tightly together with a hemp rope.
"That is?"
The doctor frowned, and the peaceful smile he had maintained since he appeared was broken for the first time.
What answered him was... Feng Chong's magic sword slashing at the knot.
Buzz!
There was a violent buzzing, like an iron cone piercing people's eardrums, causing everyone's heartbeats to slow down by half a beat.
The next second.
The wooden box cracked, and a red light shot into the sky.
At the same time.
Li Changan opened his eyes.
…
For some reason, maybe it started with the knocked out front tooth, or maybe after the Taoist priest saved Xing Baotou, Bo Ziyu has always had an inexplicable trust in Li Changan.
When he saw Li Changan open his eyes and wake up, he was overjoyed. Come to think of it, if Feng Daosheng cannot solve the situation, Li Daoshi always has a way.
However, Feng Chong grabbed him.
"Walk."
Bo Ziyu was surprised.
Based on your tone just now, aren’t we going to fight back?
Looking back, I saw Feng Chong's sword-holding arm dripping with blood, and his sleeves were torn like rags.
"Daochang Feng, your arm..."
Before he could ask the question, he was hurriedly interrupted by Feng Chong.
"It's too late to explain, let's go!"
He called everyone to escape to the side door of the hall.
The demons in the hall did not come to stop him, but no one would feel lucky for this, because there may be more demons hidden in the thick fog.
really.
Just arrived at the door.
Facing them were a dozen faces of different ages, men, women, and children. They were grinning widely, showing white teeth and red gums, and saliva was dripping from the corners of their mouths.
Sometimes the mist rolls in, and a long body like an earthworm looms behind the face.
Bo Ziyu tightened his grip on the saber.
He didn't understand why when Taoist Li woke up, Taoist Feng, who had made bold remarks, was in a hurry to escape? But he knew that the demon had no room for hesitation.
He jumped out of the crowd, raised his will to die, and slew the demon with his sword.
But……
Buzz!
The buzzer suddenly started buzzing again.
Suddenly there was a red cloud rolling past in front of my eyes.
The red light seemed to contain countless thin knives. Just by passing by, my face ached and tears welled up in my eyes.
Bo Ziyu had no choice but to close her eyes and then open them again.
The blade had already hit the monster, but strangely, it was completely empty in the hand.
Eh?
Bo Ziyu was at a loss when he saw these monsters with human faces and insect bodies suddenly burst into more than a dozen balls of blood mist without any sound, and were carried by the sudden strong wind, turning into a stinking rain of blood. Enter the room.
what happened?
Bo Ziyu's face was stained with blood, and he didn't know why. Someone shouted in his ear, "The monster is dead, run away." He was hugged by the crowd and staggered forward.
The moment he escaped, he struggled to look back.
The hall was enveloped in a thick layer of blood mist.
The doctor opened and closed his lips, as if he was saying something. Around him, the monsters looked ferocious and were ready to pounce.
Opposite the group of monsters.
Li Changan stood up.
Horizontal sword.
