The immortal who travels the world

Chapter 1072
The Luohan Temple has been in disrepair for a long time, the ground is covered with a thick layer of dust, and there are webs of spider silk piled up in the corners.

Even the stone statue in the temple was taken away by someone. It was said to be a temple, but in fact it was more like a dilapidated house that might collapse at any time.

However, it is barely enough for temporary shelter from rain.

"You kid can do it, you actually know such a place."

Zhou Ping was shirtless, and patted Xu Da who was sitting around the fire like himself.

Xu Da's praise of Zhou Ping was very helpful.

Before becoming Licheng's scout, he often traveled back and forth between Kyoto and Licheng, so he naturally knew the situation between the two places very well.

After enjoying Zhou Ping's flattery, Xu Da added: "When we arrive at the Arhat Temple, we are not far from the capital. If one person and two horses travel this distance, it will take less than a day."

Hearing this news, everyone in the temple became excited immediately.

In their eyes, as the largest and most important city in the world, Kyoto is absolutely impossible to be captured by demons.

As long as they return to Kyoto, it means that they don't have to continue to live such a life of fear.

Zhou Ping turned his head and glanced at the situation outside: "It seems that the rain won't stop for a while."

Erbao has already started to prepare the food for the evening.

"Wait for the rain to calm down before we go on our way."

The dawn is approaching, and everyone's mood is very relaxed.

into the night.

The heavy rain has not stopped.

In the darkness, the sound of crashing rain makes people inexplicably feel that Luohan Temple has become an isolated island, as if isolated from the world.

Some soldiers sat around the fire, while others leaned against the corner, enjoying this rare quiet time.

Du Sizhen curled up her legs, hugging her hands in front of her legs, her eyes fell on Lu Yan at the door from time to time.

She also thought about how Lu Yan used to hide from the rain. In the scene at that time, it seemed that Lu Yan took out something to cover his head, didn't he?

Being curious about a person is easy to have some subtle feelings in itself.

It's just that Du Sizhen doesn't have any experience in this field. While she was thinking about it, she was still secretly poking at Lu Yan.

The night was getting darker.

According to the previously established method, Wang Ji and Xu Da will be in charge of the night watch tonight.

Thanks to Wang Ji's always reliable image of a good old man.

Many people quickly fell asleep with peace of mind.

Xu Da stood up unconsciously, and said softly, "Hey, Lao Wang, did you hear any strange movement?"

"It seems to be a bit..."

Wang Ji's nostrils fluttered twice, and his calloused hands had already been placed on his own knife: "...and there is a faint smell of blood."

Xu Da woke up the sleeping people one by one and explained the situation to them.

Two guards carefully guarded Du Sixuan in the center.

Zhou Ping didn't sleep at all, he felt that the atmosphere was a bit too tense, so he deliberately smiled and said, "Master Lu is watching, don't be afraid."

Lu Yan stretched out his hand outside the door to catch a few drops of rainwater.

The expression on his face looked casual.

As long as the perception ability is activated, he will know what the situation is, and naturally he will not feel surprised or surprised.

He looked outside the dark Arhat Temple and said calmly, "Come in, we are not evil spirits."

After hesitating for a while, there was a series of metal collision sounds outside.

A young man dressed as a school lieutenant slowly walked out of the rain curtain, followed by nearly [-] well-armed and fully armored soldiers.

Compared with Wang Ji and the others, these soldiers are like the difference between a motley army and a regular army.

The man in the captain's attire stopped seven or eight steps away from the Arhat Temple, probably thinking it was a safe distance.

After all, they had just experienced such a tragic incident, so naturally they would not relax their vigilance in the area occupied by demons.

"Are you human?"

The young captain looked at Lu Yan cautiously, and from the corner of his eye, he casually glanced at the situation in the Arhat Temple.

However, before Lu Yan could reply, Wang Ji and others responded first.

"Of course we're human."

"Are you guys sweeping away the demons nearby?"

"Your attire looks like soldiers from the Beijing camp, right? Hurry up and escort me back to Beijing."

"Great!"

The soldiers in the temple were all in high spirits, and Du Sizhen couldn't help jumping on the spot twice.

The formation on the opposite side is neat, obviously different from the stragglers who climbed out of the death pit, so they shouldn't be defeated, right?
But Wang Ji and the others were destined to be disappointed.

After hearing the cheering words of Erbao and others, the young captain showed a bitter smile on his face.

The silence of the other party made many people keenly aware that something was wrong.

The excitement gradually sank.

"What... what's wrong?"

Du Sixuan blinked.

"Kyoto... the city is broken." The young captain almost gritted his teeth and said this.

"what?!"

The crowd was in an uproar.

Not long ago, they were looking forward to returning to Kyoto to relax and eat meat and drink.

But in the next second, the young captain's words were like a thunderbolt, knocking their fantasies to dust.

If you look carefully, you can see that these elite soldiers, including the armor of the young captain, are still stained with blood.

It's just that Wang Ji and the others didn't think about it, or rather, they didn't want to believe it.

Halfway through the young captain's speech, his voice became a little choked up: "Evil demons could not break through the city defenses of the capital before, but who knew there would be a sudden heavy rain..."

In that level of downpour, people's vision will be greatly affected.

Not to mention defending the city, even orders are difficult to pass on.

The soldiers defending the city almost all fought on their own.

After losing the organizational structure, the combat power of individual human beings is obviously inferior to monsters like demons.

Except for a few warriors, most of the ordinary soldiers would collapse at the first touch.

In a very short period of time, the city gate fell.

These two hundred people were stationed near the city gate at that time, and the demons were busy rushing into the city to kill them, so they didn't pay much attention to them.

Otherwise, they would have no chance to escape.

"No, it's impossible! It's not true!"

Du Sizhen's mood was a little unstable. She ignored the rain that was still falling, ran over and grabbed the young captain's armor, and shook it vigorously: "Where's the capital? Where's my father? Doesn't the capital claim to have 50 defenders?!"

The young captain was silent. He actually recognized the daughter of the current prime minister, but he didn't know how to explain it.

Although the other people in the temple were not as excited as Du Sixuan, they were also at a loss.

The fall of Kyoto would mean the end of mankind.

Lu Yan looked up at the sky that was raining continuously.

"So this bubble is about to start collapsing?"
