It was night, and there was a drizzle in Luoyang, the fire in the city was still burning, and there were cries from time to time in the distance.
Lu Xu left Shili Hehan and walked in the city. He saw a man whose half body was charred under the beam of the roof, moaning in pain, and his body glowed with black energy, rising to the sky.
"Shhh." Lu Xu knelt down on one knee, put one hand on the forehead of the scorched man, and chanted the mantra in a low voice. His face seemed to glow white, and the scorched man closed his eyes and closed his blood-red eyes. mouth, a peaceful corpse.
Suddenly an arrow passed by his ear, and the sound of the door collapsing was heard behind him. Lu Xu suddenly turned around and saw a rebel soldier with a long sword falling down, holding the arrow at his throat with both hands. Turning his head again, he saw Mo Zhigen standing on the other side of the street, the bowstring that had just been released was still humming, and he kept the gesture of letting go of the arrow.
Lu Xu didn't answer, but turned around and walked on the ruined long street of Luoyang. There are corpses everywhere in the alleys, and there are people who are still alive. Luoyang has become a dead city.
Two monks rescued the dead civilians at the corner of the street, but the sound of horseshoes came from behind the street, and the rebel army rushed in. With just a wave of a knife, a monk's head fell to the ground. Another monk was tied around the neck with a rope, pulled violently, fell to the ground, and was dragged for fun.
Lu Xu became angry in an instant and went straight to catch up, but there was a phantom passing beside him. Mo Zhigen shot two arrows and shot the rebel soldier to death. Lu Xu hurriedly chased after him, cut the rope with a dagger, and rescued the monk.
"Master?" Lu Xu asked hurriedly.
The monk was knocked unconscious, Lu Xu hurriedly hugged him aside, and pinched him for him. Mo Zhigen followed, handed out the water bag, and motioned for him to drink.
Lu Xu just wanted to go far, but he had no choice but to save people, so he had to take Mo Zhigen's water and feed the monk some to drink.
"Go through the south gate." Lu Xu said, "Don't stop, hurry up, we won't be able to save you next time."
The monk sighed, chanted the Buddha's name, and walked away from the mountain of corpses.
Mo Zhigen said: "You were injured, take a look?" He turned his face to the side, letting Lu Xu see the bloodstain on his face.
Lu Xu didn't answer, turned and left, but Mo Rigen followed behind him not far or near.
"Get out!" Lu Xu turned around and yelled at Mo Zhigen.
Mo Rigen said: "Chang Shi is going to be a target for me, are you happy?"
Lu Xu really just wanted to slap him, but Mo Zhigen said again: "Fight? You'll be happy."
It was too late to say that, Lu Xu turned into a gust of wind and rushed towards Mo Zhigen, but Mo Zhigen didn't fight back, even though Lu Xu stumbled and fell backwards, he only landed on his back first, dissipating the momentum and avoiding the attack. Past the back of the head. I saw Lu Xu pounced on him, about to nail his eyes with a dagger in his hand.
Mo Zhigen just looked at the dagger quietly, but Lu Xu nailed the dagger to the ground, extremely tired.
Mo Zhigen said: "The trouble just happened, you ruined everyone's good mood."
"None of my business." Lu Xu replied indifferently, "You asked for it."
Mo Zhigen said: "There is something for you, here it is." He pointed to his chest and said, "You take it yourself."
Lu Xu was about to get up, but Mo Zhigen took his hand and said angrily: "What are you going to do? Chang Shi and Hong Jun are back! There should be a limit to losing your temper!"
Lu Xu yelled at Mo Zhigen: "It's not good! Who promised you something? It's great for Chang Shi to come back! I have to follow you?"
Mo Zhigen just looked at Lu Xu without speaking, and reached into his chest after a while, but was blocked by Lu Xu.
"I, no, I want it!" Lu Xu said angrily, "You keep it for yourself!"
Mo Zhigen was completely at a loss, and said, "Slap my ears, come on, slap me. Shake it a few times."
Lu Xu said, "You think I dare not?"
Lu Xu rode on Mo Zhigen, forehand and backhand twice, and really slapped him twice, Mo Zhigen did not resist.
"Okay?" Mo Zhigen said, "Enough? Are you still angry now?"
Lu Xu just didn't speak, and stared at Mo Zhigen, his eyes were red.
Mo Zhigen pointed to his chest again, motioning for Lu Xu to pick up something.
"I really don't want it." Lu Xu said, "It's just... I'm panicked, and I don't know why."
Indeed, when he heard Li Jinglong's plan, Lu Xu suddenly felt sorry for Hong Jun, although Hong Jun had no idea that the person who originally planned to induce the energy of the earth's veins was Mo Zhigen.
But in this way, Mo Zhigen is likely to be burned to death by the powerful energy, and it will not help An Lushan. It would be the best result for Li Jinglong to go.
Lu Xu left Mo Zhigen, turned around and walked on the street. Mo Zhigen straightened up, stood up, reached into his chest, took out a kit, held it in his hand, and chased after him.
"What's wrong with you?" Mo Zhigen said.
"If Chang Shi doesn't come." Lu Xu tried his best to calm down his trembling voice, and said, "You are the one who will assassinate An Lushan, right?"
"Yes." Mo Zhigen answered very readily.
Lu Xu turned around and looked at Mo Zhigen.
"Originally." Mo Zhigen said, "If Chang Shi is locked in the tower and doesn't come out, I will go tomorrow. Before I go, I want to have a good talk with you."
Lu Xu saw Mo Zhigen's bright eyes in the dark night, but those eyes were somewhat lonely, and he didn't know how to answer for a moment.
"What are you talking about?" Lu Xu said.
"Talk about us."
Mo Zhigen handed out the kit to Lu Xu.
Lu Xu looked up at him, then at the bag, and then at him, and the two were silent for a moment.
In Luoyang City, a gust of wind blew by, the dark clouds dispersed, and the moonlight shone on Luoyang City.
Both sides of the street were full of dead bodies. Lu Xu stepped down, walked among the dead bodies, and walked towards Mo Zhigen. The scene was like a sea of blood purgatory, the blood spread along the corpse bricks of the long street, and every step down, there were purple and black footprints.
"Chang Shi taught me." Mo Zhigen said, "Just say 'Chang'an is so beautiful tonight', and you will understand. But I... really can't say it."
Lu Xu stopped suddenly, pondered for a moment, antlers appeared on his forehead, he shook his robe, and swayed it in the air, with the light of the moon.
All of a sudden, the moonlight poured down like a silver waterfall, and the corpses piled up on the street gave off bursts of black air, which rose into the sky and merged into the billowing black clouds.
Lu Xu said: "All sentient beings have Buddha nature."
As the words fell, Lu Xu clasped his hands together, and the brilliance of the silver moon spread out in an instant, and all the black air on the corpses all over the street turned into spots of light and rose into the sky.
Mo Zhigen hurriedly followed Lu Xu, also clasped his hands together, and stood tall, the wolf and the white deer were standing face to face. The power of dawn and twilight circulates around, saving the souls of mortals who died unjustly in the war, and sending them to the Tianmai in the twilight.
Lu Xu opened his eyes in the brilliance of the sky, raised his eyebrows slightly at Mo Zhigen, but said nothing, the movement between his eyebrows and eyes was worth a thousand words.
In the end, the surroundings returned to tranquility, thousands of people's souls had been rescued by Lu Xu with the power of dispelling nightmares, dark clouds covered up, and the moonlight dimmed again.
Mo Zhigen understood, looked into Lu Xu's eyes, and replied: "You are spiritual, you are the deer king in front of the Buddha's seat, I am just a wild beast in the mountains, follow me, and spoil you."
"It's good that you know." Lu Xu mocked mercilessly.
Mo Zhigen handed out the kit again, and said, "If you don't dislike me, just accept it. It's my heart."
Lu Xu finally waited for this sentence, and looked up at Mo Zhigen. At that moment, he seemed to have a lot to say to him, but he felt that there was no need to say anything.
He took the kit, and Mo Zhigen pointed to the side of his face, motioning him to look at the wound on his face.
"Okay, okay." Lu Xu said, "I took it all, what else?"
"Open it and have a look?" Mo Zhigen said.
Suddenly the earth trembled, and there was a roar, and the long street tilted strangely. Mo Zhigen couldn't stand still, and immediately slid towards Lu Xu.
"Be careful!" Lu Xu shouted.
Mo Zhigen quickly embraced Lu Xu, jumped towards the side of the street, and reached out to grab the door frame of a residential house. The two of them hung on the door frame like this, and the slope of the whole long street became steeper and steeper, like the depth of the earth. There was an invisible hand pushing the ground up!
Lu Xu's eyes were full of shock, and Mo Zhigen immediately said: "Don't talk! Look below!"
Lu Xu looked down, and saw a huge monster lying at the end of the long street, opened its huge mouth, and screamed "Break--". The monster had a head like a lion, a body like a dog, and eyes like As big as a wheel, it screamed "Chuang" and "Chuang" several times, and opened its bloody mouth full of sharp teeth.
As the long street toppled, corpses all over the street continued to slide down, one after another, slipping into the mouth of the monster. The monster's big mouth opened to cover the width of the street. It swallowed more and more, and swallowed thousands of corpses. went in.
Immediately afterwards, the monster closed its mouth, turned and left, and the long street tilted back again, returning to its original shape.
Lu Xu faced Mo Zhigen, his eyes were full of surprise.
"Follow me to have a look." Mo Zhigen said, and then turned into a wolf. Lu Xu put away the kit, rode on the back of the wolf, and followed the monster.
Every time the monster came to the intersection of a street, it would make a few "break" calls, and every street would tilt accordingly, and the corpses would slide down and be swallowed by the monster. And there is more than one monster! During the night, eight monsters went out to devour corpses, and they each swallowed nearly 100,000 human corpses in the whole city. They met on the main street, formed a team, hopped and hopped, and headed for the Mingtang in the north of the city.
The wolf climbed over the outer wall of the Mingtang and reached a high place. Lu Xu leaned over its ear and whispered, "Look."
In the center of the hall stood three demon generals, namely Chaoyun, Liang Danhuo and An Luzhuang, and behind them was An Lushan, whose body was rotting and emitting bursts of black energy!
The wolf moved its ears and raised its front paw, signaling to Lu Xu that there is no need to say more.
The eight monsters with huge mouths were separated in eight directions in the square outside the Mingtang Hall, and they began to scream "Chuang" and "Chuang" again, and then sprayed out the corpses one after another.
There are more and more human corpses, constantly spraying outwards, mixed with crushed limbs, and even heads, piled up outside the Ming Hall. Even Lu Xu, who has been fighting Hulu in the northwest all year round, has never seen so many corpses .
At that time, Luoyang had a total of 200,000 households and a population of nearly one million. Nearly half of them escaped before the war started, but four or five million people were still trapped in the city with no way to escape. After all, Li Jinglong saved only a small number of people. There were at least 300,000 people who were burned to death, shot to death, humiliated to death, and trampled to death in the city.
These eight monsters searched for human corpses everywhere, each sucked in nearly 20,000 people, and after spewing out, there were 160,000 corpses piled up on the square in front of Mingtang. The scene almost pierced Lu Xu and Mo Rigen's cognition.
After the massacre in Luoyang City, 160,000 corpses were piled up outside the Ming Hall, almost completely filling the entire square, and a pool of blood nearly ten feet high was piled up inside the surrounding walls, and when it spread out, it had become a sea of corpses !
In the eyes of the three demon generals, it was like pouring out a huge pond full of fish, or other animals.
"To be alive!" Liang Danhuo couldn't help crying, "What's the use of being dead?"
An Lushan's voice was low and hoarse, and he said: "The sons of the living have captured many of them. They are in the apse and will be available for you tomorrow morning. Finish this matter for me tonight. Li Jinglong is not so easy." Those who run will definitely come again, and we must make sufficient preparations before his arrival."
As he spoke, An Lushan walked down the steps slowly and opened his mouth wide. The body was more rotten than what Mo Rigen and Lu Xu had seen a year ago, and it was almost out of shape. monster.
I saw black air erupting from the Anlu Mountain pass, and countless corpses in the corpse sea melted in the black air, turning into mud and carrion, which were continuously inhaled by Anlu Mountain.
The three demon generals each released their inner alchemy and spun on top of An Lushan's head. The inner alchemy emitted bursts of light and poured mana into An Lushan's body to help him maintain his rotten flesh-like form.
Lu Xu gently pulled the wolf's ear, making it turn its head.
The wolf turned a very small angle and saw a very small black shadow at Liang Danhuo's feet.
The carp demon was dozing off while sitting on the top of the steps, when a writhing earthworm fell from the roof and hit it on the head.
It looked left and right, and saw that An Lushan had swelled a lot, and was greedily sucking the flesh from the sea of corpses. The more he ate, the more the corpse exuded black energy of resentment, all of which were ingested by An Lushan.
"It's so scary..." the carp demon said to himself, and then noticed the earthworms at his feet.
"Huh?" The carp demon immediately reached out to grab the earthworm, but the earthworm was not slippery, twisted on the ground a few times, and then crawled into the hall.
The three demon generals were concentrating on releasing the inner alchemy to help An Lushan cultivate, no one had time to care about it, the carp demon chased the earthworm, climbed over the threshold, and entered the Ming hall.
As soon as he entered the hall, there was a cloth bag covering his head, and then he hit it on the head with a sap through the cloth bag. The carp demon passed out immediately and was captured.
