At the gate of Yanmen County and Yu County, people were crowded without leaving any space, yellow sand filled the sky, and the dry air was filled with a foul smell of sand.
There were two interrogating city guards beside the city gate. One was wearing armor and holding a red tassel gun, and the other was holding a bag. Both soldiers looked fierce and arrogant, making ordinary people fear them like scorpions and tigers.
Everyone who wants to enter the city must be questioned by the soldiers and then pay a fee of varying amounts.
"Sir, please let us enter the city. We really have no money." Several people, using tattered wood as crutches and wearing tattered clothes with holes exposed, knelt down and begged, their heads bruised.
These people were so hungry that their skin and bones were exposed.
"Hey, you still want to enter the city without money? Get out of here! Don't bother me!" the black-bearded soldier said harshly.
"Master Bing, please let us go. If we stay outside the city, sooner or later we will fill the monster's belly. If you save us, you will be our father and our parents..." A humble old man
road.
"Yes, sir, this year is a disaster year. The harvest in the fields is not good. In addition, there are frequent monsters. The practitioners in the city do not come to solve the trouble. The people's life is very difficult. I need to take a long breath to cover my tears.
"Oh, I'm sorry for how difficult the people's lives are..." A frail scholar who was as skinny as a stick but still had some magnanimity also knelt down and said.
"Your lives are not worth anything. Your life and death have nothing to do with me. Get out of here!"
The little old man wanted to say something more, but the black-bearded soldier's eyes flashed fiercely, and he suddenly raised his foot in military boots, kicking the thin little old man several feet away.
The hungry people who begged their grandfather and grandma were immediately silent.
The crowd entering the city was chaotic and restless for a while, and then became calm again.
…
Boom!
In the distance, a leopard spirit with a body of a leopard beast, two feet tall, dressed in luxurious silk, held a large piece of oily fat in his hand and gnawed on it, walking among the crowd as if there was no one around.
When people saw it, they got out of the way in fear.
The fat meat in the hands of the leopard demon made those gray-headed children look at it eagerly, eager for it.
"Hey, Brother Leopard, why are you going into the city without notifying the brothers? This way the brothers can arrange a red carpet in advance to welcome you...Brother Leopard, please come quickly." Blackbeard saw the leopard monster.
, he was actually more respectful and flattering than when he met his father and mother, and his foul-smelling face made people hate him.
"Isn't this the 'Elephant Prince' who will celebrate his 100th birthday in a few days? I'll go to the city to buy some gifts first so that I can congratulate him at his old man's house!" the leopard demon said arrogantly.
"Oh, come on, come on, hurry up and prepare Brother Bao's horse without a wink. Brother Bao must be exhausted after walking such a long way. If you are asked to walk on foot when you enter the city, this is simply a slap in the face of our brothers.
Where is the face?" Blackbeard said quickly.
Another soldier immediately brought a horse with a fat head, big ears and a bloated body.
"Hey, your horse is really fat. It's too much in the year of great disaster." The leopard demon teased.
Blackbeard sneered, "Where, where."
Then, the leopard demon frowned slightly and said:
"Oh, I'm tired of this fat meat and don't want to eat it."
As it spoke, it spit out the piece of meat that had not been chewed yet, with green spit in it.
This, this actually caused a rush of looting!
For a piece of meat, people stepped on others, beat others, and cursed others. The scene was extremely lively.
Looking at this ugly situation, the leopard demon laughed loudly, then jumped on the horse and clamped down on the horse's belly.
The fat horse carried the tall leopard demon and ran slowly.
Li Tu, who was mixed in the crowd and waiting for questioning, sighed helplessly, "There are so many weird things in the world."
…
After watching the leopard demon leave, Blackbeard turned into a ferocious villain who could make children stop crying.
By the way, it's been really hot in Yanmen County this year. There hasn't been any rain all year, and the crops have dried up in the fields.
God seems to be on fire!
And it is said that in Bai Yujing, the capital, it rained heavily for more than half a year, and it never stopped. Nearly half of the houses in the capital were flooded and could not be found.
There is fire all over the place and heavy rain pouring down everywhere. It would be great if God could balance things out.
If the celestial phenomena are disordered, there will be disasters everywhere!
…
When Blackbeard was interrogating several people from other counties...
Just listen, ring ring ring!
A gust of hot wind blew towards my face.
The strange sound of bells coming from not far away makes people feel like they are falling into hell.
It was a coffin made of ice, and there was a person lying in the coffin.
Four armored zombies were jumping up and down carrying the ice coffin.
Some of the zombies at the front were carrying paper horse wreaths, some were scattering dim yellow paper money, and some were holding high blood-red soul-calling flags. Along the way, the zombie aura was rising into the sky, and the faces of the living were changing.
Several crows with jet-black feathers were hovering in the sky, with scarlet bells hooked in their paws, swaying gently, and sending out sharp and shrill obituaries from their mouths.
"The dead rush, the living avoid!"
"The dead rush, the living avoid!"
"The dead rush, the living avoid!"
…
"What is this? What is this?" A child in the crowd asked crying.
The child's parents immediately covered his mouth, for fear of violating some taboo.
The black-bearded soldier was already frightened. He suddenly remembered some secret rumors and hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
"Welcome to the Lord of the Demon Sect. Welcome to the Lord of the Demon Sect."
The common people who didn't know anything had no choice but to imitate Master Bing's appearance, kowtow together and respect him like a god.
.
Zi Huo clicked his tongue and said, "A Demon Sect Guawazi who can make an armored corpse is more impressive than the Emperor's grandeur when he goes out on a parade."
"How do you, the disciples of the Demon Dao Shizhuang Sect, divide their levels into different levels?" Li Tu asked in confusion.
"The Ten Zombies started out by refining corpses. Naturally, whoever can cultivate high-level zombies will have a higher status." Zihuo said, "The lowest level iron corpse, bronze corpse, silver corpse, gold corpse, and hairy zombie.
Flying zombies, wandering zombies, lying corpses, and even the legendary immortal bones, drought demons, and roosters..."
Li Tu thought for a moment, "I remember that you also made a special kind of faceless corpse. What level is that?"
Zi Huo proudly boasted, "That faceless corpse does not belong to these ordinary corpses. It is a brand-new form of zombie that the Taoist Master spent three years and worked hard to develop. It combines the Taoist spells."
With this technique, if a faceless corpse is equipped with enough talismans, it can even go head-to-head with human king-level warriors. It is simply a dangerous weapon in the world!"
"It's a pity that I met that saint from the Qingfeng Sword Sect. The Sword Sect's sword is said to be able to kill evil spirits all over the world. My ten Faceless Zombies were chopped into pieces, and they have no strength at all. Otherwise, I would have been fighting against the beasts in the past."
Shan..." When the old Taoist saw Li Tu Leng's cold, blood-red eyes, he immediately shut his mouth obediently and stopped exposing others' pain.
The tragedy of Chaos Beast Mountain can be described as a blood feud!
However, I have to admit that this old Taoist priest is indeed a genius. He first practiced Taoism, was framed by others, and had no choice but to turn to the magic sect, and his achievements were also remarkable.
…
Blackbeard stretched out his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, thinking that today was really strange. He went out without looking at the almanac. Just a moment later, there were fierce wolves and then vicious tigers, which really killed him.
The sun is clear.
After waiting in line for so long, my whole body was soaked with sweat. It was finally my turn to question Li Tu and Bai Xiaoying.
At this time, the soldiers around Blackbeard had already filled ten large cloth bags. There were grains, grains, and gold, silver, and copper coins in them, all of which were made by the people.
Blackbeard's eyes are sharp and he is unwilling to let go of even the slightest profit. Under the gaze of these eyes, I am afraid that even a blowfly will leave two wings when entering the city.
It really corresponds to the saying: the common people's money should be divided into 30 and 70 cents, and the wealthy gentry should not take a penny.
…
"Sir." Li Tu said respectfully.
The black-bearded soldier looked at the ferocious death knife on Li Tu's back with some fear, and then asked:
"Your accent sounds like a foreigner. Why did you come to Yu County? Tell the truth. If you hide anything, I will chop off your head, Master Bing." The big-headed soldier with a black beard said with a stern expression.
"Hey, back to the military master, a small refugee has arrived. There was a flood in the capital and too many people drowned." Li Tu made up an excuse.
"Fleeing? Fleeing to my Yu County?" Blackbeard chuckled and told the truth, "You encountered a disaster in the capital. The law is strict under the emperor's feet. Maybe the government will help you. But.
When you come to our Yu County, even if you are beaten to death on the street, no one will care about you."
"Hey, you are trying to escape to the devil's cave."
"Hehe, what I'm trying to teach you is that there's nothing you can do about it, it's already here." Li Tu said with a smile.
"You won't shed tears until you see the coffin." Blackbeard snorted from his nostrils, "foreigner, do you understand the rules?"
"Young people understand, small people understand." In order to avoid trouble, Li Tu took a piece of silver, which was enough.
Blackbeard's eyes widened when he saw the money, and he smiled, showing a satisfied look, but he was still not satisfied, "outsider, take down your weapon and let the military master take charge of it."
"Okay." Li Tu nodded and bowed.
Unlock the chains, and the death knife is stuck in the loess, like the god of death that will not fall.
"Hmph, ah ah ah ah!" Blackbeard exerted all his strength, his big rough face was red and stuffy, and even his beard was trembling with all his strength.
The death knife, but it doesn't move an inch.
A trace of greed flashed deep in Blackbeard's eyes, "Tsk tsk, what a weapon. This is a magic weapon. Young hero is so powerful... Lord Bing, this is the second time I have seen such a good weapon. The first time was for me."
The Nine Heavens Meteor Hammer owned by the great general in the army!"
"Humph, sir, even if you can lift some things, it's best not to mess with them, because you can't afford them." Li Tupi said with a slightly thoughtful smile.
That's what he said, but after seeing the power of this weapon, Blackbeard was a little unwilling to let these two outsiders enter the city.
Suddenly, the soldier following Blackbeard saw with sharp eyes a piece of cloth bag exposed under Bai Xiaoying's clothes, which was somewhat bulging.
"Hey, brother, look..." the soldier pointed.
Blackbeard's eyes widened when he saw the money, and he grabbed it with his big hand.
Bai Xiaoying failed to stop it in time.
"ah!"
Wow…
A bunch of yellow and white stuff flowed out.
The world seemed to be silent!
The crowds entering the city, the defenders lying on the city wall, and even the mangy dogs on the roadside were all staring at the pile of golden gold.
Gold, that is even more mouth-watering than a beauty who takes off her clothes!
"Ahhhhhhhhh..." Blackbeard gasped, completely shocked. He had never been so shocked in his life.
"You, you, you..." Blackbeard pointed at Li Tu and the two of them, but said nothing for a long time.
Among the crowd, there were a few bold refugees who desperately stretched out their dirty hands.
Rub rub rub rub!
Blood stained!
Blackbeard pulled out his military sword, and with a powerful momentum, he shouted without any shame, "Soldier, although my sword can't kill big monsters, it's just like playing with you untouchables. Do you understand? Who?
Dare to take one more step forward and make a decisive move!"
