Dong! Dong!

The sound of drums spread throughout the city, and in the deserted inner city, Zuo Zhengyang looked back and heard the sound of horse hooves vaguely.

...If they were asked to follow, they would definitely die in vain.

After tying the reins, he turned to the crowded streets and alleys in the outer city. He took advantage of the crowds and set a distance from the imperial guards who had caught up with him, and then he rushed to the east city gate.

At this time, the heavy city gate slowly closed under the push of the guards. For a moment, someone shouted on the city tower:

"Close the city gate quickly!"

From a distance, a rider rushed over and waved the long whip rolled on the side of the horse, and the sound was like thunder.

"Don't close!"

Crack-

The moment the long whip sounded, the arms of the two soldiers were wrapped around, and Zuo Zhengyang's arm exerted force to the outside. The two collided together and flew together on the walls in the passage.

The closed city gate stopped, and the rushing knight closed his whip and pinched the horse's belly, and several long spears on both sides stabbed in an interlaced manner.

Xilulu!

The horse whistled and the rushing horse jumped up like a spiritual psychic, crossed over a long spear, and the moment the horse's hooves landed, they squeezed out the door and came outside the city.

"drive!"

Zuo Zhengyang quickly rushed out of the city gate area. The soldiers on the city tower wanted to shoot arrows, but in a blink of an eye, the man had already ridden a horse out of the range of arrows, and could only watch the other party go away.

...

The sky light rose to the sun and then fell slightly to the west.

Dada dada...

The horse's hooves galloped across the official road, and soon turned to the forest path. There were few cicadas sounds that were shaking gently on the treetops. As Zuo Zhengyang moved forward, almost a little sound could be heard.

The running horse slowly speeded. With a sound of "Wake!", Zuo Zhengyang stopped the horse and turned over, looking at the circular building in front, especially the four big words "Pudu Cihang" in the middle of the Baiyan Stone Step, with a majestic and solemn look.

The gritted teeth and cheeks were slightly swelling, and there was also indescribable complexity. He had seen that Dharma Master from afar. He should be a talented person with a peaceful aura, but now he is so vicious.

"You go and find a good family."

Zuo Zhengyang withdrew his gaze and cast his mount from Fushui County to the capital. In more than four years, he was almost an old horse.

After stroking its mane, watching the horse turn around reluctantly while walking, Zuo Zhengyang took a deep breath, held the hilt of the knife tightly, dragged the tattered cloak, and strided towards the altar.

"The Imperial City arrested the emperor Zuo Zhengyang, please protect the country and meet him!"

The voice was right and the majesty spread. The closed altar gate there was no response. Then he strode up the stone steps and shouted again.

The breeze blew gently, and the tattered cloak was stroking, and the lacquer red door in front suddenly cracked the gap.

Outside the door, Zuo Zhengyang narrowed his eyes, slowly raised his left hand and pressed it against the handle of the knife around his waist. He gently pushed open the door with his other hand and stepped carefully across the door.

Walking through the not-so-long corridor, the circular viewing hall in front spread out in his sight. Then, on the observatory one by one, the densely packed eternal lights made him feel numb in his scalp.

At this moment, coldness climbed up from his back.

*******

The afterglow of the sunset shines on the distant foothills, and the forests are dyed red.

From south to north, a team of about twenty people rushed to the capital, and raised Changyan. It was Sun Yingxian, who came from Hegu County, Min Changwen and his daughter, as well as guards and arresting officers.

It was a halfway ambushed by monsters under Fazhang, and he went around to the east and then entered the capital.

"When I pass by here, I am not far from the altar of the Dharma. I have been there once last time."

After approaching the capital, the Taoist began to retain his magic power and rode a horse with a guard. He didn't know how to do it anyway. He happened to sit behind and talk when he had time.

"I don't know if our Mr. Lu has arrived, otherwise I will not be able to deal with it by then."

"Then you still follow me!"

Min Changwen turned his head on the horse's back and glared at his talking daughter, "Yuerou!" Just as he was about to speak, the guard in the mansion in front suddenly spoke.

"Sir Shangshu, there is a horse without a boss in front of you."

The road was not an official road and was not spacious. A group of people would inevitably run over the horse and slowly approached. The old man's eyes suddenly opened.

"This is Zuo Qianwei's horse. He has been following him when he was Fushui County."

Speaking of this, his voice turned and he rose.

"No! Zuo Zhengyang must be in danger! He probably went to find the Taoist master, please take us there."

Originally, they were the cavalry soldiers under Zuo Zhengyang's command, and they also agreed and asked Taoists to help lead the way to save people.

"Hey, I haven't had a rest yet..."

Seeing that everyone was excited and wanted to say something, the Taoist had to turn it into: "Okay, but Old Man Min should not go. You have no power to tie a chicken, and I am afraid that I can't take care of you!"

"Okay, I will go back to the capital now, accuse Your Majesty of guilt first, and then ask for the army..."

Min Changwen naturally understood what the advantages and disadvantages were. On the horse's back, he arched his hands and hung under his white beard and swept across the surroundings.

"——Fight against the evil spirits with you!"

After saying that, he took two guards and ran towards the outline of the city. The eighteen people here also turned their horses and followed the Taoist into the forest.

****

On the altar, the eternal lamps swayed in the wind, illuminating the densely-sitting body, the official robe and crown of the body, were the civil and military officials who escaped from the hall.

"So you're all here."

Zuo Zhengyang has excellent martial arts skills and can naturally easily detect the qi. Moreover, there are so many "people" sitting cross-legged in front of him, but at present, neither the human qi nor the demon qi has come.

He jumped directly to the observation platform, pulled over a cross-legged figure in the middle, pulled open the back of the official robe, and the flesh cracked and turned outward, empty inside, and nothing was left.

"Pudu Cihang!!!"

Release the body in his hand, Zuo Zhengyang's eyes were covered with bloodshots, rushed down the observation platform, stood in the middle and looked around.

He screamed with a knife:

"Where are you monsters and monsters who come from, you are in trouble with the court, confusing Your Majesty, and you have also taken the internal organs of these civil servants and military generals-"

The sound echoed, and there was no movement around except for a corpse, skin, closed its eyes and sat cross-legged.

"Come out! You're waiting for the monster!!"

His voice roared again, and the next moment, the slightly shaking Evergreen Light fell violently. The mud and sandy ground at Zuo Zhengyang's feet exploded several times, and more than a dozen demonic auras that could be seen in the naked eye gushed out like a spring in the ground.

Bang!

As the metal and iron collided, Mars bounced, Zuo Zhengyang reacted very quickly as a warrior. He danced his blade in his hand and knocked a hard punch. He pulled out a long sword on his back with his other hand, and danced with both hands in an instant. In the countless eternal lights, the sound of sword light, blood light, golden sound, and flesh tearing sounds continued on the invisible things.

Dingding ding ~~~

Puff puff puff puff...

"Hahaha--"

The invisible figure was slashed in half by the broken knife, flying to both sides, and the centipede inside also showed two halves. The thin knife returned to block it. Zuo Zhengyang laughed, and the long sword followed closely, swung and slashed angrily. The transparent air sounded slashing, and dark red blood poured all over the ground.

Kicking away half of the corpse's skin, Zuo Zhengyang's hair was scattered in his laughter, and his words were loud and roaring: "You monsters, come together!"

Within a short moment, there were as many as seven or eight purple-black corpses cracked on the ground, breaking into two pieces to fill the mud in the middle of the altar.

The blood beads slowly slid down the ground along the two blades in their hands and immersed in the soil.

"Good, good."

Suddenly a cold female voice rang behind her back. Zuo Zhengyang turned his face slightly, and a thin old monk stood in the shadow of the temple, looking at him expressionlessly with a magic seal on his face.

"...... Qianwei, as a man in the imperial city, can guard Your Majesty, how can he let this Dharma Master save you?"

"It's full of auspicious light, but it's dirty and ugly!"

The roar exploded, Zuo Zhengyang twisted his feet, and his body turned into a shadow and instantly approached the thin old monk in front of him. The sword light reflected the light of the eternal lights and waving and cutting them away.

"Everyone in the world has fallen into joy by the sea of ​​suffering. When will he know that he will overcome suffering and go to the other shore to the Pure Land."

Pudu Cihang had no intention of dodging. He said that he swung his knife and slashed his body here as if he was struck by lightning. His steps suddenly stopped, and instead he stumbled back and retreated for several steps. Zuo Zhengyang reached out and wiped the corner of his mouth, and blood was overflowing without realizing it.

"Zuo Qianwei, put down the butcher's knife."

With a light wave of his fingertips, something invisible seemed to flow through the air in an instant. Zuo Zhengyang couldn't react at all, and his clenched lips and teeth suddenly opened, which was a scream of "Ah--".

One arm held a thin knife and soared into the sky.

The other hand and the long sword were shaking with his body, and he inserted it into the ground with a slight tumbling. Zuo Zhengyang looked at his empty left shoulder, and his clothes were stained with blood.

"evildoer….."

The blood-stained teeth opened and closed, and he took a hard step, watching the old monk opposite him walking very slowly step by step.

"My sword will only kill you and others as evil demons."

Pudu Cihang looked at him and gently pushed his palm out—
