Sword Knocks The Gates of Heavens

Chapter 890 Madness

“Father, when are we going home.”

“Yanzhou will be your home and mine after that.”

In the west of Yanzhou, under the tower of Baiyanguan, a lean man took a five- or six-year-old girl’s hand and looked at the tower not far away with hopeful eyes.

In front of them, two long queues led to the city gate.

The man has rough skin, dark face, unshaven beard, hair tied with hemp rope, a horizontal knife with a blade sheath badly broken hanging around his waist, his trousers rolled up, and only a pair of straw sandals on his feet. Through the ragged clothes, you can vaguely see the thin body with visible bones, and the wound that has scarred one after another.

Although the little girl he was holding was not injured, her red cheeks were covered with frostbite, her lips were even a little purple from the cold, but her eyes were still clear.

The crowds in the two lines in front of the city gate are almost uniform. They are all refugees like father and daughter who have endured the hardships of a long journey.

Upstairs.

Looking at the long line below, the two Yanzhou guards couldn’t help frowning.

“There are more and more refugees recently.”

“A relative of mine just escaped from Liuzhou and told me that Liuzhou has become a purgatory on earth, and the cities and towns The guard and the cultivator only focus on snatching the land and the mines, and they don’t care about the lives of the people. Now the demon plague is rampant in the city, and the streets are full of unclaimed corpses. It is said that there is a strange disease called madness spread in the city. After that, both the cultivators and the poor were like madness, sucking blood and eating human flesh, and turning into monsters in the end. Among them, the cultivators of Daoist Realm are said to be even more powerful than ordinary demons. It’s amazing.”

“This kind of disease can’t be spread to our Liuzhou.”

“Don’t worry, Xiaoman Patriarch has already thought of a countermeasure, and now every refugee who enters the city A blood test is required. The blood in the body of a person with that strange disease is alive and will swim by itself when placed in water, but as long as the sun shines, it will turn into purple smoke.”

“ But what if those powerful monsters are among the refugees, and they suddenly break into the door while they are being tested?”

“The demons who are visible will not be able to pass the Cloud Whale Formation, and if they cannot pass the Cloud Whale Formation, they will naturally We can’t get to the front of our city gate. Besides, we have two city gates in Baiyanguan. Once a monster or a cultivator with unscrupulous intentions breaks in, the Yanyan talisman buried in the middle of the city gate will automatically activate and turn into a A wall of fire blocks them out. This True Fire Charm is Grade 5 talisman, and the fire is enough to burn for three days and three nights. When the time comes to us, there will be enough time to deal with these passers-by.”

“Xiaoman patriarch is really thoughtful.”

“Of course, but patriarch predicted the chaos in these ten states more than three months ago.”

p>

“But I think it’s better to let in less of these people. If this goes on, the entire ten states will flee to our Yanzhou.”

“Patriarch is sure of this. I can’t think of it, but don’t forget our Sang family’s family motto, ‘Those who seek the public live, those who seek the few perish’.”

“What do you mean?”

“The world is better. Chaos, the more we have to work together to make a living, if everyone only thinks about themselves, even if the Sang family is the backbone, Yanzhou won’t be able to last long.”

“Let’s go, it’s time to open the city gates. .”

The two Sang family guards chatted here, and then walked down the city tower together.

“Squeak…”

With the sound of two heavy door shafts turning, the Baiyan city gate gradually opened up.

There was a commotion following the two long queues of refugees.

“All line up quietly for me, who dares to whisper and walk around to kill on the spot!”

The city gate rang out loudly.

Two city guards, who were covered up and down by bright armor, were lined up on both sides of the city gate, one on the left and one on the right. In the long passage of the city gate behind them, there were still two people standing. Lie is also the city guard who is also tightly wrapped, leaving only two eyes.

After this sound, the turbulent refugee team immediately quieted down.

“One by one, come here to cut your fingers and test for blood.”

The city guard shouted again, and the refugee team moved slowly this time, stepping forward one by one.

There are two simple tables at the entrance of the city gate. There is a large white porcelain water tank on the table. The water tank is filled with clean water, and a wine jar is placed next to the water tank. , There are seven or eight daggers neatly inserted in the wine jar.

Every time a refugee came over, a city guard would pick up a dagger and make a small cut in its hand, and then let him drop a drop of blood into the white porcelain water tank, and wait for confirmation. It is released only when the blood in the tank is normal.

“Dad, when are you coming to us, Nan Nan is so cold.”

Looking at the long queue ahead, the little girl standing with the man’s hand , with a weak cry.

“Come on, come on, Nan Nan is good.” The man squatted down, rubbed the little girl’s hand in his palm and sighed, “When we enter the city, we will You can drink hot porridge, and there is hot water for Nannan to soak her feet.”

“Okay.” The little girl nodded obediently, “Can I have another steamed cake, Dad?”

“Okay.” The man wiped the little girl’s nose with the corner of his shirt, smiling gently and authentically.

“No, no, I didn’t, I didn’t, you must be mistaken!”

At this moment, a scream broke the calm in front of the city gate.

The man put his hand on the handle of the knife with an alert look, and the other hand instinctively hugged the little girl in his arms.

After standing up, the tall man finally saw clearly that at the city gate, a man was trying to explain something to the soldiers guarding the city in front of him.

“Don’t look at it, it must be mad blood.”

“That’s it.”

The father and daughter are at the front of the line, and the two line up The refugees whispered one after another.

hearing this The man couldn’t help holding the girl doll in his arms tighter.

“Get out of the way, let me get out of the way, I’m not stained with crazy blood, let me in!”

At this time, city gate, the man who was still begging, He suddenly picked up the dagger on the table, and while waving it frantically, he moved towards the city gate and rushed inside.

However, before he took a few steps, his head was chopped off by a Mo Dao in the hands of a city guard next to him.

Then the city guard, who was covered in armor, threw a talisman at the severed middle-aged man. The moment talisman fell on the body, with the sound of “hong”, an azure flame Since the body rose up, in the blink of an eye, the corpse was already burned to a mass of flying ashes.

“Next!”

The city guard seemed to have done a very ordinary thing, turned his head silently without any fluctuations in his emotions, and re-looked towards the long face in front of the city gate. Long two columns of refugees.

And after watching the scene just now, the crowd who would have whispered a few words had already kept quiet out of fear, for fear of making a little noise.

After about the time it takes to burn a stick of incense, the father and daughter finally came to the table with the water tank and the dagger.

The fully armed city guard at the table didn’t say anything, just stood there quietly.

The man already knew what to do. He hugged the little girl, and then took a dagger and slashed the little girl’s fingertips lightly, and a drop of blood fell instantly.

I wonder if she was too afraid of the city guard standing opposite, but the little girl didn’t say a word when she cut her fingers, just bit her lip tightly.

When he saw that the drop of blood in the water tank was normal, the man immediately relaxed.

The city guard who couldn’t see clearly on the opposite side was also nodded, and then pointed to the man himself.

The man was nodded again and again, then put down the little girl, picked up the dagger and cut it at his fingertips.

The dark red blood flowed down the fingertips in an instant, and the thick snow dripped into the white porcelain water tank, sinking little by little until it sank to the bottom of the tank without any change.

But just when the man was about to breathe a long sigh of relief, the blood drop that had been standing still at the bottom of the tank suddenly trembled, turning into blood thorns trying to rush out of the water. tank, but in the blink of an eye, the drop of blood burned at the bottom of the tank, and finally disappeared.

The man’s face froze after seeing this scene.

And the fully armed city guard in front of him put a hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist and watched him silently.

“Dad, Daddy, can we go? Nan Nan is hungry.”

At this moment, the little doll suddenly pulled the man’s trouser legs.

The man’s stiff face twitched, and he finally managed to squeeze out a smile.

He bent down and picked up the little girl, then handed her to the soldier in front of him, and said:

“Let this Uncle take you there first, Daddy will be here soon. .”

As he said, he looked towards the city guard who was covered in armor with a pleading gaze.

After being stunned for a while, the city guard finally stretched out two cold arms covered with armor, took the little girl, said nothing, and went straight to the long passage of the city gate. go.

“Uncle, wait for my daddy.”

The little girl who was hugged by the guard against her chest raised her head and looked towards the guard.

“Don’t worry, your father is doing what he should do, and he will come to you when he is done.”

Cheng Wei said calmly, A big hand pressed on the little girl’s head, made her lean against his chest, and inadvertently covered her ears.

Almost the moment they walked out of the city gate, one after another raging flames rose again at the city gate, but the city guard didn’t stop at all until the strong sunlight shone on him again. with that little girl’s face.

“Take her to the place where we put the child.”

The city guard, who was wrapped in armor, handed the little girl to the city gate’s city guard in casual clothes.

“Uncle, when will my father come to see me?” The little girl, who was held by another city guard, turned her head hard and looked towards the city guard who was wrapped in armor.

“It’s… coming soon.”

“Thank you Uncle!”

The little girl who got the answer turned away.

And the city guard in full armor stood there in a daze.

“Big Dipper, why are you standing here in a daze.”

At this time, a young girl walked up to the soldier.

“Sister Qingluo.”

The soldier took off his helmet, revealing a slightly green face.
