"Old way."
"When you were with them just now."
"Did they mention seeing those strange corpses in the alley and how they killed them?"
This problem has troubled Jin'an for a long time.
The old Taoist priest shook his head.
"I asked, but it was a chaotic time and everyone was rushing to escape. No one noticed how those motionless evil corpses killed people."
Jin An pondered.
I stopped asking the old Taoist priest.
Perhaps it was because Jin An had just entered the alley alone and came out unharmed. At this time, Jin An, who was carrying a long knife, was considered by these ordinary people to be a martial arts master...
Or maybe it's because the old Taoist priests are dressed in Taoist robes, which gives people the image of a master of Taoism and a master of the world...
When this group of people from Chang County who were also on the run saw Jin An and the old Taoist priest continuing on their way, they hesitated for a while, and then they all followed, fearfully following the two men and the sheep.
Long before, when the old Taoist priest stabilized them, these people already knew that Jin An and the old Taoist priest were running out of the city, and they also planned to escape outside the city.
They were all ordinary people living in that alley, but who knew there was a monster hiding in the alley, which led to the previous scene.
And the middle-aged woman who was holding her child and crying bitterly, although she had just experienced the pain of losing her husband and had not yet come out of the grief, but when she looked at the crying young son in her arms, this woman learned how to care about her child.
The former woman held back her tears and inner sorrow. She wiped away the tears on her own face, wiped away the tears on her child's face, and gently comforted her child to be strong. This woman, who had just experienced the pain of losing her husband, held her baby tightly in her hand.
The only remaining relative was the youngest son, whose figure had aged significantly overnight as he followed the procession out of the city.
Women are naturally weak, but mothers are strong.
…
The chaos in Changxian County continues under night.
Crying and wailing were everywhere, and from time to time, the desperate screams of people before death could be heard. Panic had spread throughout the city, and a thick layer of haze enveloped everyone's mind.
Just like the raging fire that enveloped Chang County, not only did it not go out, but it burned more and more fiercely. It was obviously night, but it was burned as bright as day by the fire.
Even from a distance, I could feel the heat brought on by the heat wave and my lips were chapped.
Chang County is completely finished.
The spread of the fire has been completely unstoppable.
Everywhere, people were dragging their families and their luggage to escape from the city. Some people left the city in bullock carts, some rode horses, and some squires dragged more than a dozen women and servants out of the city.
There are also businessmen who regard wealth as their life and cannot give up the family property they have worked hard for most of their lives, so the chambers of commerce form a group to form a long carriage procession to leave the city, and those carriages are filled with all the belongings of these businessmen.
These businessmen are most likely to be targeted by some vicious murderers.
But these smart businessmen who knew how to work together were alert all the way and refused to allow strangers to approach, so that murderers who wanted to take advantage of the situation never found a chance.
So those people began to focus on ordinary people and small businessmen who were left alone.
Along the way to Jin'an, we have seen many corpses that were robbed and killed on the roadside. These people fell in a pool of blood, and their death was horrible.
Some had their skulls smashed with knives and axes, and their brains were shattered all over the place.
Some passers-by who met on the road took advantage of the money and stabbed them in the back with a knife, piercing the heart fiercely.
There are women who are half-dressed...
Today, when the laws and regulations of the imperial court have collapsed and there is no government security, many people in Chang County have begun to go crazy. Some people died in the hands of evil spirits, and some died in the hands of their own people.
The war is in chaos, and the world is suffering.
At this time, the team behind Jin An and the old Taoist priest had expanded a lot.
The number of people is already fifty or sixty.
Maybe people have a herd mentality, or maybe it's because the combination of Jin'an and the old Taoist priest can easily give people a sense of security. Along the way, many people have joined this escape team.
Most of these people are honest ordinary people.
Those who were in the martial arts world, were reckless, or had businessmen with their own escorts, but they all disdained this ragtag escape team.
Jin An and the old Taoist priest walked in front.
Naturally, they also noticed the snowballing group of escapers behind them.
They did not choose to take the initiative to accept these people. Some people were exhausted and fell behind, but they did not take the initiative to stop and wait for others, nor did they take the initiative to drive away the people who were following them. Although the old and young people did not talk about this matter along the way, they
There is a tacit understanding and the focus is on the road ahead.
At this time, Jin An and the old Taoist priest walked to a market.
Standing in front of this market, the outline of the wall stacks of the east city gate can already be seen vaguely.
You will arrive at the east gate and exit the city in no time.
But Jin An suddenly stopped in front of the archway at the entrance of Fang City, and the ordinary people who were following Jin An also stopped in fear.
"Little brother, there's something wrong with this city. It's too quiet. The whole Chang County is in chaos. Killings and arson are happening everywhere, but no one has destroyed this place. And it looks like there's no one there. There's not even a single person there.
Not even a lamp was lit, it was pitch black... This pool of water is very cold!"
The old Taoist priest said solemnly.
Indeed, as the old Taoist priest said, this city is too peaceful.
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster.
"Um?"
With his sharp five senses after practicing martial arts in Jin An, he sensed eyes secretly spying on him, and he turned around to look.
I discovered that my gaze was coming from the second floor of an inn near the entrance to Fangshi.
On the second floor of the inn, a window was quietly opened a small crack, and someone was peeking out from behind the dark window.
The other party noticed Jin An's gaze and was so frightened that he hid behind the window and hurriedly closed the window.
Jin An frowned.
But the window on the second floor of the inn immediately opened a small crack, and the person behind the window actually threw something out.
"Huh?"
"Little brother, something seems to have been thrown out of that inn. There is someone in that inn."
The old Taoist priest said in surprise.
The old Taoist priest holding a torch quickly found what was thrown out of the inn, and it turned out to be a ball of paper.
When the paper was spread out, the ink on the paper had not yet dried, and there were a few lines of words that had just been scrawled on it.
There is a monster
Leave quietly
don't make any noise
don't come in
Looking at the words on the note, the old Taoist priest was surprised again. He subconsciously lowered his voice and asked Jin An: "Little brother, the benefactor in the inn who kindly reminded us might have also encountered the same evil corpses we met before.
Bar?"
After the old Taoist priest finished speaking, he asked Jin An if he wanted to take a detour.
As the old Taoist priest spoke, he subconsciously glanced at the dozens of exhausted people who were following them behind him.
Jin An also glanced at the team behind him.
"This market is the only way for us to go to the East Gate. If we take a detour again, we will have to go a long way, and no one can guarantee that other markets will be safe."
Jin An said thoughtfully: "In this case, old Taoist, you stay here and wait for me. I will explore the situation of this city first, and we will talk about everything after I come back."
The old Taoist priest looked at Jin An worriedly. Jin An said it was okay and did not go to take the torch handed over by the old Taoist priest. Instead, he asked the old Taoist priest to protect himself and the goat and be vigilant.
Next.
Jin'an held the Husha Sword in hand and began to enter Fangshi.
Jin An did not hide anything, he walked directly into the market with a long sword, and when he had just walked two or three feet away, he was suddenly stunned!
To be continued...
