After Jin An left Man Mo Temple, he returned to his soul directly.
However, on the way back to the soul, Jin'an found that the people of Chang County were dragging their families and families towards the city gate.
All the city gates in Chang County were opened unexpectedly.
There are no traces of man-made damage to those city gates. It should be that Zhang County Magistrate Huapi of Mr. Yiyun ordered the city gates to be opened and allowed the people of Chang County to flee to save themselves.
Chang County has been completely destroyed.
There is no point in continuing to hold on.
so.
When Jin'an's spirit returns to its shell.
He immediately found the old Taoist priest.
"Old Taoist, hurry up and pack up. We will escape from the city overnight. Chang County has been completely occupied."
Before the old Taoist priest could speak in surprise, Jin An immediately said: "The government has taken the initiative to open several city gates in Chang County."
Packing your luggage is not a hassle.
In fact, Jin An had already made plans to run away long before the Man Mo Temple was bombed, and most of his belongings had been packed away.
During the chaos when the Man Mo Temple was bombed, the old Taoist priest had packed up all the things he wanted to take away and was preparing to run away tomorrow.
"Old Taoist, this stupid sheep eats and drinks from us. We have been serving it for so long. It's time for it to work hard."
"We brought all the pots and pans with us, and then tied all the rice noodles, pots and pans to the sheep, and let this silly and strong sheep carry the heavy load for us."
"No matter how hard it is, we can't let our stomachs suffer. It's spring now and the temperature is low. Bringing pots and pans can help us have a warm meal in the wild without having to eat dry and hard food every day and drink unboiled cold water every day to have diarrhea.
"
Jin An's words made the originally tense escape atmosphere suddenly become more cheerful.
The old Taoist priest was happy: "Little brother, you are so considerate."
The old Taoist priest glanced at the goat that had been fed by Jin An until it was as fat and strong as a calf, and immediately ran to the kitchen to unload the big pot.
Especially the pair of ram's horns, which are as big and thick as the pair of ox horns, are particularly eye-catching.
It is obviously different from ordinary domestic sheep.
Baa baa baa——
This silly sheep is usually pampered and pampered. It only eats peanuts and carrots, but it struggled violently and refused at first.
It wasn't until he was punched by Jin An that he became honest and took the blame.
Huh... even the screams became softer in front of Jin An.
This silly sheep, which looks like a calf, is very smart. It can still distinguish between a full meal and a full meal.
Because the goat was carrying a lot of things and could not pass through the limited-width courtyard gate, Jin An directly demolished the courtyard wall without saying a word, and then he was able to get out smoothly.
After leaving the door, looking at the night sky of Changxian County which was lit up by raging fires, people in Changxian County could be seen running in panic and running out of the city. There were chaotic cries from everywhere. Jin'an and the old Taoist priest looked solemn.
They looked at each other and then began to follow the other fleeing people and flee for their lives outside Chang County.
Jin An asked the old Taoist priest and the goat to walk behind him, while he walked in front with a long knife in his hand, scaring away the thieves with evil eyes who wanted to take advantage of the situation, and the rivers and lakes were rough.
An old man, a young man and a goat, before they could escape very far, they found that there were fewer and fewer fleeing people around them. Until they passed by a private house, the door was opened wide and a large puddle of scarlet blood was sprinkled on the road in front of the threshold.
"Save me..."
"Help me..."
The painful low groans of several people came from the dark, cold room with the door wide open and nothing clear.
Just at this moment.
Jin An noticed a few pairs of eyes hiding in the darkness, watching him and Lao Dao.
His eyes were stern, looking directly at the house that spilled blood in front of the door. Behind the dark door, in the darkness where nothing could be seen, there was an evil gaze watching them.
But when Jin An looked around, that spying gaze disappeared again.
Jin An knew clearly that this was because the Five Thunder Evil-Slaying Talisman he carried with him prevented the evil spirits in the dark from looking directly into his eyes.
But the painful groan in the dark room continued to sound.
"What dares to spy on me?"
"court death!"
The third form of "The Sixty-Road Monument Opener"! Bear Backrest!
Boom!
The wall of the house shook violently, as if a fierce and strong brown bear was rubbing against the tree, bang!
Brick wall crumbling.
The explosive cyclone tore the door and door frame into broken pieces in the air, and the dust was flying
An unpleasant stench, mixed with the thick smell of blood, overflowed in the room.
When the old Taoist priest ran in holding a torch, he was startled by the scene in the room: "Little brother, what kind of evil corpse is this?"
"I've been running around in the world for so many years, and this is the first time I've encountered this kind of evil corpse that looks like tree roots and is tangled together."
In a dark corner of the room, there were several corpses entangled together with strange tree roots. There were three dead faces with calm expressions and their eyes closed. They were motionless, as calm as an extremely ugly tree root statue.
But such peaceful tree root monsters have already swallowed two people alive. Their broken limbs and crushed torsos have become twisted and entangled with the tree root monsters.
At this time, both of them were dying.
Blood flowed all over the floor, and the whole body was dripping with blood. The painful low moans for help that Jin An heard just now came from the throats of the two devoured living people, attracting more living people to be eaten alive by the tree root monster corpses.
Moreover, with the excessive blood loss, the two people's bodies no longer had blood flowing out, but instead secreted black liquid, entangling them and the tree root monsters even more tightly, adhering them together for eternity, regardless of each other.
Horrifying! Weird! Bizarre!
The injuries of these two people were so serious that their spines and internal organs were crushed. They were unable to save themselves. After a few breaths, they died completely.
The old Taoist priest sighed unbearably: "From now on, there are two more lonely ghosts in this world."
The old Taoist priest sighed, and then recited the scriptures to save the souls of the dead, hoping to send the souls of the two suffering masters to reincarnate as human beings.
Who knows.
The old Taoist priest was suddenly stunned.
"Little brother, these two people just died. I just recited the salvation scriptures, but not a single ghost here responded."
"That's not right. These two people just died. The ghosts should not leave the corpses so quickly. To become a lonely ghost, it would have to be after the first seven days. No one has buried the corpses and built a ghost house for them. There is no ghost house to return to.
Only then will he become a lonely ghost wandering around."
"unless……"
"The ghosts of these two people were swallowed up by an even more evil evil spirit, using this to strengthen the evil evil spirit!"
After hearing what the old Taoist said, Jin An's eyes darkened.
"Could it be said that...that thousand-year-old evil tree Qingqianliu can use these monster corpses to swallow more people's souls and six souls, and can continue to strengthen its own Yin energy even without leaving the Wenwu Temple? Or...by this
Feed yourself back to restore your damaged yin energy?"
"Doesn't that mean that as long as these tree-root monster corpses are spread out, Qingqianliu will never be killed?"
"Unless the speed of consuming Qingqianliu Yin Qi is faster than its recovery speed..."
These were all the conjectures that came to Jin An's mind in just a short moment.
Thinking of this, the long knife in Jin An's hand flashed with red light.
Poof!
The tree-root monster's corpse looked like solid iron and was difficult to be damaged by ordinary swords. However, in front of the tiger sword that had been sealed twice, it was still cut in half like mud.
Crackling.
The stinky internal organs from the strange corpse were immediately scattered all over the floor.
However.
Jin An discovered that even though they were split in half, the internal organs of the tree-root monster corpses in front of him were still secreting black liquid.
Even the surface of the body is constantly secreting black fluid.
Except for the smooth wound opened by Chixuejin, because the hot breath of Chixuejin kept burning the wound and preventing the secretion of black liquid, other body surfaces were constantly secreting black liquid.
This thing doesn't seem to have been killed by him?
The most intuitive observation is that the two living people who were devoured continued to secrete black fluid.
The tree root corpse did not stop secreting black liquid just because Jin An split it in half.
Watch this scene.
Jin An immediately frowned.
At this time, the old Taoist priest holding a torch seemed to have discovered these details, and said in surprise: "It's strange, little brother, why do I always feel that these evil corpses on the ground, which are tangled like tree roots, are not dead yet."
The old Taoist priest finished speaking.
From the Tai Chi Bagua bag hanging on his shoulder, he took out a yellow talisman to destroy evil.
"The heaven and the earth are natural, the odor is dispersed, and the energy of the Tao is always present...it is as urgent as a law or order!" The old Taoist priest recited a mantra.
The Yang energy of cinnabar and the Yang fire of rooster blood on the Evil-Breaking Talisman will spontaneously ignite without fire when encountering Yin evil things. In an instant, the tree root corpse split in half in front of you will be ignited into a torch.
The flame burned for a while, and as the spiritual energy on the yellow talisman was exhausted, the fierce fire on the surface of the tree root monster extinguished.
"Eh!"
The old Taoist priest was greatly surprised.
Because those tree-root monster corpses were not killed this time, and their bodies were still secreting black liquid.
The flames on the surface of the body were isolated and extinguished by the black liquid secreted from the body.
Even the scarlet blood energy from the wound that was opened by Jin An's knife has been extinguished, and a large amount of black liquid that is as black as tree sap is being secreted from the wound.
This time Jin An and the old Taoist priest were both surprised.
Unexpectedly, this seemingly calm and motionless tree root monster could be so evil.
Physical exorcism and Taoist exorcism are both ineffective.
It can't be killed no matter what.
The more this happened, the more Jin An couldn't help but sigh, Brother Fu is really awesome!
There were only three or five monster tree corpses in front of him, which made him and the old Taoist priest somewhat helpless. Ordinary people would definitely die if they encountered them.
Because this tree root monster is impossible to kill.
The Five Thunder Evil-Destroying Talisman, which had been sealed three times, was so precious that Jin An would not waste it here. He pondered for a moment.
"Little brother, why do I have a bad premonition? I feel like these evil corpses like tree roots are secreting black liquid in their bodies, as if they are trying to reunite and come back to life?"
The old Taoist priest's words made Jin An's head tremble.
Isn't the sap secreted by vegetation a form of self-protection and self-healing of wounds?
"Black Mountain Kung Fu"! Fire poison internal energy!
Poof!
The Tiger Saber struck the tree root again and hit the monster corpse.
But this time he didn't draw the sword immediately.
Instead, the inner Qi of the Black Mountain Kung Fu was fiercely injected into the blade, and the blazing fire poison immediately passed through the blade that was in contact with the tree root corpse, and the scorching heat was vented into the evil spirit's body.
Click!
Click!
This time, the tree root corpse was carbonized from the inside, like a twisted and ugly mass of charcoal.
Bang!
Jin An pulled out the Tiger Saber. Due to the excessive force, the charcoaled tree root monster directly broke into several pieces. It seemed that all the water had evaporated from the inside, became lighter, and fell to the ground crisply.
This time there was finally no black fluid secretion.
Kill completely.
Jin An's eyes were filled with joy.
He followed the same method and killed the remaining half of the tree root corpse.
And after such a short time, he had consumed nearly half of the inner energy of the fifth level of Black Mountain Kung Fu. This was not worth the gain, but also wasted precious escape time.
Jin An decided that next time he encountered these tree-root monster corpses, he would not fight too much.
"Let's go, old Taoist." Jin An called to the old Taoist priest and continued to escape outside the city.
But this time, they had just escaped far. At this moment, in Chang County, which was full of chaos, the two of them encountered an unexpected situation again.
"Ah! Help! Help!"
"What kind of monster is this!"
From an alley, there were panicked cries and chaotic running sounds. There were quite a few people, a dozen or so people running for their lives in panic.
When Jin An arrived at the entrance of the alley, he happened to see several ordinary people from Chang County, dragging their families and carrying small luggage on their backs, stumbling out in panic. When those Chang County people saw Jin An holding a long knife, they
Just like an overly frightened person, when they see the life-saving straw, they all run towards Jin'an in panic.
"Help! Please help us, there is a monster behind us... behind us!"
When Jin An walked into the alley, he smelled a strong smell of blood. A living person had been swallowed up by two tree root monsters entangled with hands and feet, and merged into one body.
The twisted and broken body was covered with blood.
No one can be saved anymore.
Poof!
The red sword light tore through the night, and Jin An split the tree root monsters in half with one strike. Even if he couldn't kill these tree root monsters in a short time, he still had to make them lose the chance to fight back and kill them in a short time.
Lest these weird corpses follow them.
He suddenly attacked him unexpectedly.
When Jin An walked out of the alley carrying a long knife with the black liquid on the blade still wet, he saw the old Taoist priest comforting the group of people who had escaped from the alley before, and one of the middle-aged women was holding a child in her hand.
Looking for someone anxiously.
When the middle-aged woman saw Jin An walking out of the alley safely, holding the child tightly in her hand, she quickly ran over and asked Jin An anxiously: "Have you seen the father of my child?"
"
"The child's father was walking with us just now, but during the escape, our family of three was scattered by the crowd..."
The middle-aged woman held her child in her hand and anxiously described her husband's appearance to Jin An. After hearing the other party's description, Jin An sighed softly.
The living person he saw in the alley just now being entangled and devoured by the tree root monster was the husband of the middle-aged woman in front of him.
Although this bad news is difficult for ordinary people to accept, Jin An still answered truthfully, comforting the other party that he would be sorry and accept the change, as there is no resurrection after death.
In this great escape, human life is as thin as a drop of grass. Instead of having any illusions, it is better to accept the cruel reality as soon as possible in order to face the more cruel escape that follows.
Before escaping very far, he had already encountered two strange corpses with tree roots. Jin An had a premonition that the next escape would only be more difficult.
Although he felt sorry for what happened to the middle-aged woman and her family, Jin An would not stop his escape. He took the old Taoist priest and the goat carrying pots and pans and continued on the road.
