Looking at the thick yellow fog that was about to reach the barrier, including not far from the city gate, there was a faint smoke billowing, and the roar of tigers and leopard beasts was incessant, and the figures of countless giant beasts were already clearly visible.
At the same time, a strange wind suddenly appeared on the flat ground, rolling up the dust in the sky, and the wind howled, like a ghost crying and wolf howling, looking extremely gloomy.
Although it is not clear why the demons of the White Lotus Sect have to deal with the Jingzhao Mansion, they first spread the plague, and then led the crowd to attack the city, but in the faint, Tieguai Li felt that things were not simple, and there must be a conspiracy.
And they attacked again, which was also within their expectations.
"Two adults, don't panic, and let the soldiers appease the people first. Those who are not infected with the plague should stay at home, lock the doors and windows, and do not go outside the enchantment range anyway! As for the people who are already sick, it is best It’s about being able to gather together and take care of each other.”
When Tieguai Li saw this, he immediately instructed the imperial emissary and the prefect, seeing that the momentum was aggressive, and it was obvious that the visitor was not good.
"Good! Good! We all obey the arrangements of the fairy."
The imperial envoy also knew that the situation was serious, and he did not dare to delay for a moment.
"Xianchang, since this group of demons is here, they must be fully prepared. Now there are magic powers in this city that can fight against the demons. It is estimated that there are only the three of us. With the strength of the three of us, can we resist it?"
Looking at the scene in front of him, Lu Dongbin couldn't help but feel a little worried.
"If you can't stop it, you have to stop it! No matter what, we can't just watch this group of demons enter the city, slaughtering all living beings, and tens of thousands of people in the city, but all our hopes are pinned on me."
Han Zhongli looked grim, glanced behind the city, and replied.
"I will use the technique of communication to inform your master and the others of the situation here, but can I rush back to help? It all depends on your destiny and mine."
Hearing this, Lu Dongbin was thoughtful, as if he had thought of something, his eyes lit up, and then he looked at Tieguai Li and asked.
"Xianchang, the situation is urgent, and there are many evildoers in the White Lotus Sect, not to mention the Plague Lord, even if my master and the others come back, it is estimated that it will not help! , why don't we ask the gods to help them?"
"That's right! The evil spirits are harming the common people. Since the gods receive the incense of the human world and accept the worship of the world, then the human world is in trouble, so they should help!"
He Huiniang, who was on the side, also agreed and strongly agreed.
But for this, Tieguai Li had a sad face and a long sigh.
"If things are really as simple as you think! Heavenly Court is bound by heavenly rules, all heavenly court immortals are not allowed to intervene in human affairs without permission, otherwise it is a violation of the heavenly rules! Although your master and I are immortals, However, he has not entered the status of immortals, and he does not serve the position of immortals, so he lives in the ranks of scattered immortals and is not bound by the heavenly court, so he can be so free and easy."
For the sake of this, Lu Dongbin already understood that if he wanted to count on those high-ranking immortals, the chances were obviously very slim.
"What kind of breaking the rules is this? As the saying goes, eating people is soft-hearted and short-handed, how can they not solve disasters and solve problems for the people? How can these gods be inferior to three-year-old children, so don't talk reason!"
After listening to his explanation, He Huiniang couldn't help feeling a little indignant.
"Hui Niang, there are some things that we can't control. We are all our own people. These words are just for us to talk about. It must be known that there are gods who raise their heads, but they can't make mistakes!"
Tieguai Li's face was gloomy, and he reminded her.
"Okay! The battle is imminent, don't talk too much! Madam Hui, you are still shallow, so you can protect the people of a city in the back! Dongbin, you will be responsible for the evil beasts under the city. Will that Plague Lord!"
Tieguai Li did not hesitate, and arranged the tasks in turn.
"Don't worry, Immortal Chief, as long as I am alive, they will never enter the city."
Lu Dongbin spoke righteously, his voice was fierce, and his eyes were extremely firm.
"Me too!"
He Huiniang glanced at the two of them, decisively.
Today, she is very different from the little girl who only practiced medical treatment before. In addition to the kindness of Xuanhu to save the world, she also has the determination to slay demons and demons. Facing demons, she has no fear.
"Okay! Be careful, I hope you can last until your master and the others come."
After saying this, Tieguai Li no longer hesitated, jumped, turned into a streamer and went straight to the sky, facing the thick yellow fog.
"The devil is one foot tall, and the Tao is one foot tall! Come on!"
Looking at the back of Tieguai Li's departure, Lu Dongbin sneered, his mind moved, and his right sword finger snapped out, with a sound of "Qiang", the long sword on his back shot out a red light, and instantly unsheathed, with a sound of sword whistle, Incomparably fierce.
Lu Dongbin pointed his toes a little at the top of the city, and his entire body seemed to be integrated with the sword light, and he suddenly stabbed away at the tigers, leopards and jackals outside the city.
Naturally, He Huiniang didn't dare to be idle. She quickly jumped back into the city to help the two adults to appease the restless people and protect their safety.
The mountains and rains are about to come and the wind is full of buildings, and a war is about to break out.
…
The capital, the inner palace.
"Old iron...Old iron..."
Han Zhongli woke up suddenly, rolled over from the couch and sat up.
There was sweat on his forehead and he was restless. He opened his eyes and saw that the lights outside the house were bright, the moon was hanging high, occasionally patrolling guards passed by, and the night was silent.
"Is it a dream?"
Han Zhongli was puzzled. It stands to reason that he has already become an immortal. As long as he doesn't want to, he basically can't dream. What's more, this dream suddenly broke in without his knowledge, which is a bit strange.
He hurriedly pinched his fingers to get up, and after a while, his heart froze.
"It's not good, the old iron is in trouble, and the catastrophe is imminent!"
This dream obviously didn't come for no reason. He and Tieguai Li, a teacher and a friend, had long been in the same mind. This dream was obviously a warning to him, and with his fingers, the result was already obvious.
"Xianchang, Xianchang! Something happened!"
At the same time, Wang Yan's voice suddenly came from outside the door.
Tieguai Li turned over to stay, opened the door, and stepped out.
"What's the panic?"
At this moment, Wang Yan looked rather cold and stood straight in front of the door.
"It's the uncle's mansion, Cao Cheng's younger brother, that is, the little uncle Cao Shi. It seems that he was controlled by evil demons. He sneaked into the palace in the middle of the night and assassinated Cao Cheng!"
After saying these words, Han Zhongli's complexion became more and more gloomy.
"Oh? There's still such a thing? The younger brother assassinated his own brother. It's really outrageous! How is the situation now? Is Cao Cheng ill?"
"Fortunately, the guards found out in time that Cao Cheng was only slightly injured. The problem is not that big. It's just this matter that I think is a little weird."
Things have already happened, and they have been stopped. In fact, there is not much need to report again, because the ultimate meaning is still not big.
But Wang Yan chose to come here because he felt something was wrong in his heart. Cao Cheng was just confirmed to be one of the Eight Immortals, and his younger brother came to assassinate him, and in the middle of the night, he sneaked into the palace alone.
According to common sense, they are two brothers after all, and even if there is any conflict, they will never face each other with swords, or even kill one of them.
But it happened, which is too strange.
