Chapter 308: Paradise does not exist and the world collapses
Zhang Ming wanted to persuade him again, but Mr. Yu just shook his head and said nothing.
Zhang Ming saw that his expression was calm and knew that his thoughts had settled, so he couldn't come. He sighed and picked up the crying Wuer and said, "Uncle Yu, Xiaodao will take you to pick up Mrs. Yu and his son, and you will definitely take them out safely. Mr. Yu... take care of yourself."
Mr. Yu nodded with relief and bowed to him again, "I'm sorry, Taoist priest."
Zhang Ming was afraid that the voice of the silence would attract attention from others, so he gently stroked her neck, causing the little girl to fall asleep.
After leaving the carriage, he looked around and saw soldiers walking back and forth, and his expression was tense. Many people were already preparing to pile up firewood and pour oil. It was obvious that the demon was about to attack and set fire to the forest. He knew that it was necessary to be faster, so he quickly walked to the female carriage.
There were originally more than 30 guards on duty here, but when the situation was critical, they were all transferred to the outside world to resist the demons. Now they don’t know how to live or die. Only a few people who look like in charge were guarding nervously with wooden sticks.
They all recognized Zhang Ming, but when they saw that he was holding a child, they did not come up to stop him.
Zhang Ming saw that there were three horses here, but he didn't know which one was where Mrs. Yu was, so he asked, "Madam Yu, where are you?
A weak voice came from the carriage with his right hand and said, "But Master Zhang?"
Zhang Ming walked to the carriage a few steps. Because he was inconvenient to enter, he whispered outside: "Madam Yu, the demon is powerful and the situation is critical. Master Yu asked Xiaodao to pick you, mother and son, and leave here quickly."
Mrs. Yu's voice was weak, and she said, "Master Taoist, how can I walk like this? The Master Taoist doesn't have to worry about me, so I will send my child to Dale City. I hope he can spend his life safely."
She spoke afterwards, and she choked and sobbed,
Zhang Ming persuaded: "Madam Yu, how can you, your child, have no mother when you are born? It's okay to take one person with a small path. Don't hesitate. You must not stay here for more!"
Mrs. Yu didn't feel comforted when she heard him, and she was slightly cheered up. She said in a trembling voice: "Is the Taoist Master serious?"
After all, she can live enough. No one wants to die seriously, not to mention that she and her newly born young son cannot give up.
Zhang Mingsheng said calmly: "Xiaodao really has a solution. Please Mrs. Yu must believe me."
Mrs. Yu was silent for a while before saying, "It's just that I can't walk. I can only trouble the Taoist priest."
When Zhang Ming saw him agreeing, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then I forgive Xiaodao for being rude."
He waited for a while and then lifted the curtain inside. He saw Mrs. Yu lying on the couch with a scarf wrapped around her forehead and a thick quilt. There was a maid serving her around her, but now she had already run away. The baby was sleeping soundly on the side of her head and face. At this moment, she was sleeping soundly.
He said with an offense, took out a red pen, and quickly outlined the talisman on the inner wall of the carriage. As he did, a fog of smoke gradually covered the carriage.
At this moment, I suddenly heard the sound of sharp birds singing and the sound of flapping my wings outside. I knew that the bird monster was coming again, so I quickly accelerated my movements.
After finishing the painting, he felt a little tired, wiped the sweat from his head, then went to the outside, took out a water bag, and fed the two horses.
After a while, it seemed that someone shouted a few times, and there were a few directions to free up thick smoke. The camp suddenly became chaotic, and people kept running and crying.
Zhang Ming ignored it, took out a piece of talisman paper from his arms, ignited it, and tried to point it a little more. With a bang, the talisman turned into a ball of spiritual fire and floated in front of the horse's head.
When the two horses saw this fire, they seemed to have some pull. They neighed and hit the four hooves, staring at the chase.
Wherever Zhang Ming pointed his hand, the fire would often float, and he would drive the carriage and gallop outside the woods.
Mrs. Yu's voice came from the car inside, and she asked anxiously: "Master, where is the father-in-law? Why don't you wait with me?"
Zhang Ming whispered: "Old Mr. Yu has a desperate ambition and is unwilling to leave together."
The car was silent for a moment.
Zhang Ming sighed in his heart, if he had the ability and magic power of his master, why would he have this? He would definitely be able to protect the people here.
But when I thought of this, I was puzzled. Master must have arrived in this fairy mountain, but why haven’t I come to find myself for a long time?
Or is the master also powerless to this demon?
He was a little panicked for a moment, thinking that the truth seemed to be the case, and he was deeply convinced and refused to believe this answer.
While he was thinking about it, he suddenly realized that he had arrived outside the woods. He looked into the sky and immediately took a breath of cold air.
The bird demons in the sky are densely packed, and they are actually several times more than just now. He was so hurt that there are more than a dozen monsters like that demon general.
Fortunately, the talismans were covered by it, and the sound of the carriages and horses disappeared, and they turned a blind eye to him and ran out smoothly.
Even so, after getting out of danger, his back was covered in cold sweat.
If you walk normally, follow the mountains, forests and rivers, and then head north to Guandao, but there is still three or four days to get to Dale City. But he dared not walk on the avenue and said that he would pick the small paths through. Fortunately, he had the help of talismans, and the carriages and horses passed through the mountains and forests, like walking on flat ground. It took him four or five days to reach the open land.
There were people here gradually, but they were also fleeing people. Many people saw that he had horses and cars, so they leaned over and walked together. In one day, hundreds of people gathered. After asking, he found out that these people had fled from Guyang City to the east.
Two days later, he saw a boundary monument, the above-mentioned word "Lejun".
A middle-aged scholar was sitting next to the stone, dressed in a torn manner, looking depressed.
Zhang Ming got off the carriage, walked forward, bowed and asked, "I would like to ask this gentleman, I wonder how to go to Dale City?"
He asked twice in a row before the man reacted, raised his eyes and smiled bitterly: "Da Le City? How can there be any Da Le City? Five days ago, Da Le City had been destroyed by demons."
The words immediately caused an uproar, and the people around him showed disbelief. One of them blushed and ran to the front, pointing at him and said, "How can you spread rumors here?"
The middle-aged scholar sneered and said, "I am spreading rumors and causing trouble? Lin was originally a clerk under Le Hou's school. Five days ago, a big monster attacked. Le Hou led more than 10,000 elite soldiers out of the city to resist. However, he was in a breath of gold, and the city fell down the wall. Le Hou died on the spot. More than 10,000 elite soldiers were defeated, and only half of them escaped their lives in the end."
Hearing his words as he was convinced, the man was stunned. Then he took a few steps back and shouted: "I don't believe it, I don't believe it. How could more than ten thousand elite soldiers not defeat a demon? You must be talking nonsense! Yes. You are talking nonsense!"
The scribe wanted to say something, but suddenly gave up again, his face full of sadness, and he sighed: "The demon can drive spells, and no matter how powerful the personal guard is, it is still the body of the mortal body. How can he fight with it?"
The man stayed for a while, then seemed to have lost his strength and sat on the ground in dismay.
There were also cries from the crowd around them. They traveled all the way to Dale City to take refuge. They thought they could find a place to be safe, but unexpectedly, it would be an empty dream in the end.
The middle-aged scholar seemed unable to bear to see this and said, "I will give you a place to go. There is a high hill called Shuntianpo in the northeast direction. It is the old capital of the previous dynasty. All the retreating soldiers went there, and you can go there."
Zhang Ming said: "The wild land is full of demons, and it is not peaceful. Why don't officials Lin go together?"
The middle-aged scholar seemed to struggle for a while before nodding.
Shuntianpo was not far from where they were. Under the leadership of the middle-aged scholar, after walking for two hours, he saw a tall mound with a long-term collapsed city wall below. Now all the people below were filled with escapees.
Because the old city site was on a plain, Zhang Ming had no obstacles in his sight. At first glance, he thought that there were probably tens of thousands of people gathered here. At this moment, there were several people wearing officials' robes and soldiers trying hard to maintain the situation and distribute porridge and rice.
There were no corpses that could be seen everywhere on the road. Obviously, there were special people to restrain themselves, which showed that there were officials in this area to maintain order, and the situation was better than he had thought before.
The middle-aged scholar also saw it, and he smiled bitterly: "Fortunately, the demons do not eat rice and grain, and the grain stored in the warehouse has not been lost. Otherwise, these many people would have starved to death without waiting for the demons to attack."
At this time, a group of soldiers passed by, all wearing heavy armor, short swords on their waists, and bows and arrows on their backs. They held large axes and long spears in their hands. Wherever they passed, they were rolling smoke and dust. Only a hundred people were in a position to rush to change their arms.
The middle-aged scribe pointed and said, "This is the elite soldiers under Le Hou. I don't know if you can find a thousand of them now?"
Zhang Ming looked for a while and said, "But the little road saw that the personal guards under Ronghou's mansion were many."
The middle-aged literary scholar said: "Dalle City is the leader of a county, so naturally it is not comparable to the ordinary guards of the marquis's palace... Let's wait, honor the Hou?"
His face changed and he said, "Didn't you come from Guyang City?"
Zhang Ming said: "That was just a follower, but the path came from the west. At that time, Xingrong City was destroyed, so he came to great joy."
The middle-aged scribe asked anxiously: "When did it happen?"
Zhang Ming thought about it and said, "I don't know the exact time, it's about half a month ago."
The middle-aged scholar suddenly sweated heavily, took a piece of branch, drew four city blocks in different directions, and then curled the road along the way, murmured: "That should be fifteen days ago, the Gushan City was broken on the 16th, and the Guyang City was broken on the 17th. These three cities were almost taking action during the same period..."
He suddenly paused his hand, then threw the branch, sighed to the sky, and said, "This demon is so calculating. It's like driving away a flock of sheep, so that people from all directions gather together to make me happy, and it's so overwhelmed."
He looked at the rolling crowds of people down the slope and sighed: "What's the point? When you are in this great disaster, look, it's enough. In less than a few days, the demons can eat all the people in the world!"
"Eat all the people in the world?" Zhang Ming was shocked and said, "Officiale Lin, what do you mean?
The middle-aged scholar smiled and said, "Do you don't know that there are still people in the eight counties in the world now in one of my counties, and the other seven counties have been damaged by demons for more than ten years and are deserted. Under Dale City, perhaps the place where people die."
