The indescribable Taoist Lord

It's night, and the ink in Zhen'an Pass is thick.

At the Xiongguan Gate, which reaches into the sky, the blood-clad warriors are standing silently. The strong wind from the high sky cuts into the bones of these low-level monks.

This natural chasm divides Beihuang into the inside and outside of the pass, and clearly draws the boundary between humans and demons.

The blood-clothed soldiers remained motionless, just silently watching the movements in the distant mountains with resolute expressions on the city wall.

They were warriors who had been fighting for many years, and the pain had long since faded away, leaving only blood and obsession. No one paid attention to the people of Shilaozi behind them, but they still cared about the old parents in the pass, or were waiting for their beloved to return. Mother-in-law and boy.

"The green grass is short, the green grass is long, and the green grass is so dense that it is busy in the farming industry.

Farming is busy and there are few plow oxen on Longshan, but there are many people traveling outside the pass.

That man was also in the ranks. His hair turned white in three years and his temples were as frosty as ten years.

The long tassel has been exposed to cold and snow several times, and the golden watch is spread to Shuofang every day.

I am worried about the news about my beloved, so I bring the soles of my shoes and my new coat with me, and I sew all the layers of separation and hatred together, and sew my feet together with my longing for each other.

At four o'clock there are still boxes of clothes, and every night I am afraid of the sound of the gong.

The gong and trumpet were heard near the courtyard wall, and the horse was led by hemp leather. The man returned to his hometown in a wrapped body.

Snow falls in the twelfth lunar month, wheat flowers bloom in the moonlight, and willows break in the orchid moon, but they cannot be sent back to me..."

The sky in the northern wilderness is very heavy, and when the strong wind howls, it reminds people of mournful cries. Some soldiers who have just joined the army and feel melancholy will inevitably think of this sad nursery rhyme. However, most of the soldiers are already numb, except for their vigilance. Not moved.

Yan Xi was also on the city wall, surrounded by several captains.

"How is the situation today? Is there anything unusual?"

"Back to General, today there are 3,721 people who went out to hunt monsters in the city, and 3,263 people came back."

Yan Xi nodded slightly. The usual situation was similar to this, but there was nothing worth paying too much attention to.

"but……"

One of the captains was hesitant.

Yan Xi's expression condensed. He had been following Li Tuizhi for a long time. He especially hated this kind of sloppy way of answering.

Yan Xi's expression suddenly became as sharp as a falcon, as if he wanted the captain to give an explanation.

The captain was obviously aware of Yan Xi's temperament, but this matter could be big or small. If it was true that he was the one who made the noise and was too wary, he would be punished.

"explain."

The captain's face straightened up. Seeing Yan Xi's expression change, he immediately stood up and said solemnly——

"yes."

"Maybe it's not an important thing, but since the king's return, the elixirs outside Zhen'an Pass have become more and more abundant in the past few days..."

"Where's the demon?"

Yan washed his hands and dragged his chin, and asked calmly.

"The material output of the demon has not increased."

When the captain said this, he felt a little guilty and dishonest.

Several other captains also felt that he was quite troublesome.

First, because according to their experience, the demon clan is not a creature with extremely low intelligence. If it wants to take action, it will either be silent so that no one can see the clues, or it will come with great fanfare.

Second, the amount of elixirs did not suddenly become abundant, but fluctuated in a relatively gentle trend, with an overall increase.

"That's right, just say what you want to say. We, the people of our generation, can't act like pussies."

Yan Xi opened his brows. It seemed that most of his worries after hearing the strange situation were gone. However, out of vigilance, he still spoke out——

"We have been on heightened alert in recent days, especially since some babies have arrived in Chang'an. Although it is stated that they are treated the same as demon hunters, you still have to help while you wait for help.

I know that some of the brothers under you are unhappy and complain. But without them, your descendants might have to stay here for tens of thousands or a hundred thousand years!

With them, although there is little hope, one day, this mountain will be leveled, this barrier will be demolished, and the children of your ancestors will be able to have their wives and children at home safely, and no longer have to suffer this kind of hardship. The bitter cold! "

"yes!"

All the lieutenants solemnly performed a military salute.

Yan Xi nodded with satisfaction and returned to the city like a rainbow.

The captain who spoke opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something else, but he could only watch the red rainbow dissipate in front of him.

The lieutenants watched the deputy general's figure disappear and go back to the camp in twos and threes.

A broad-shouldered captain slightly bumped Guo Sicheng's chest with his elbow.

"It's not me, Lao Guo, why are you talking so much? It's not an unusual situation in itself, but it created the impression in front of Lieutenant General Yan that you are speculating and seeking credit."

"Huzi, I..."

Guo Sicheng was somewhat withdrawn and silent by nature, and the colleague in front of him was the only friend he could talk to.

He didn't know what was wrong, but he just felt vaguely uneasy. The last time he felt like this, he narrowly escaped death at the hands of a life-star demon. At that time, he was worthy of being a Dharma minister. After the demon went away, it crawled out of the pile of corpses.

He has been in Zhenan for decades. Over the decades, relying on this intuition, he has narrowly escaped death in countless dangers.

But this time there seems to be something different, it seems to make people more uneasy, more...fearful.

"Huzi, I don't feel good."

The face of the school captain known as Hu Zi also changed. He had known Guo Sicheng for many years and he also knew what Guo Sicheng's "feeling" was.

"In short, let's prepare early."

The two people walked in silence. There was no shift for them on the city wall today, so the two of them drifted into the city and slowly walked towards the outpost where the Blood-coated Army was stationed. They met a young man in gray robes. And passed.

This man was very decadent and smelled of alcohol, but he was wearing the robe of a concubine from Chang'an School.

There is really no such thing as being a model for others.

When Guo Sicheng passed by him, he suddenly wrinkled in confusion and glanced at him lightly, and happened to meet the master's eyes.

He and Huzi immediately bowed their hands in a military salute, and then walked away as usual——

The Taoist disciples in the Chang'an School are always respected, even though the person in front of me does not look like a Taoist.

Chu Fengge looked at the backs of the two captains and stared at Guo Sicheng's back intently, silently licking his lips.

He was walking slowly in Zhen'an City, looking into all the alleys out of boredom. The curfew in Zhen'an City was very strict. Except for the only monk like him, almost no one was wandering around at the moment, but...

"I didn't expect it... I didn't expect it... there would be such an unexpected surprise..."

Chu Fengge glanced around with his soul, his eyes were stained with a layer of ink that did not look like a living person. If he could forcibly identify the emotions, they would probably be the deepest desires and greed.

"Although I can't eat dinner for the time being, since I was forcibly sent out, it shouldn't be a big problem to find some snacks by myself, right?"

He muttered to himself, but didn't mean to ask anyone for instructions.
