Envy

Meng Tou and his party walked to the Mingqiu Pagoda in the center of the city. The dark clouds as heavy as ink dispersed, and the moonlight poured down, piercing through layers of miasma.The disciples walking at the forefront lifted the gauze lanterns to illuminate the dark alley corners.There is no corpse here.

In the darkness, everyone's breathing was extremely clear.The accumulated rainwater fell from the eaves of people's clouds, falling little by little, and accumulated in puddles.

The first disciple led the people into the deepest part of the long alley, and the lanterns illuminated the mossy mossy stone wall ahead.He said to Meng Tou: "Uncle Meng, there is no way ahead, let's go back."

So a group of people turned around and poured out of the alley.

Suddenly there were a few crow calls from the sky.Meng Tou looked up, and saw two black crows flitting through the hazy miasma.The faint smell of blood in the air became more and more intense.

There was a sharp wail from the front of the crowd, and disciples rushed into the deep alley immediately after.Some disciples raised their spirits and rushed to the roofs on both sides. Some of them didn't have time to react, as if they had been severely injured, they cried out in pain.Those few sounds pierced the quiet night, and the disciple was terrified.

Meng Tou realized something was wrong, and ordered the disciples in front to go up to the eaves, and then jumped out of the deep alley.All disciples obeyed.

He passed among the scattered disciples and squeezed to the entrance of the alley, only seeing the hazy moonlight, when he saw the entrance of the alley clearly, he froze there.A disciple rolled into a ball on the ground, and his sword fell to the ground.A corpse man squatted beside him, nibbling at something at a slow speed.The slender one is wrapped with a shirt, which has been torn by fangs.

Meng Tou's heart trembled, that was clearly the disciple's arm!

There was a creepy clicking sound between the corpse's teeth.He leaned against the dark night, chewing and swallowing slowly, then raised his head suddenly, and walked under the moonlight, with a blood stain on his mouth.

The alley was crowded with corpses.They had no eyes and pupils, their scorched hair hung loose, half of their chests were bare bones, and they were facing him and the disciples behind him, as if they were staring straight at him.

All the corpses just stood, like a statue, motionless in the cold wind.

The disciples who jumped on the eaves of other people's houses would not dare to jump off, seeing corpses from the entrance of the alley to the foot of the Mingqiu Pagoda, like a sea of ​​corpses.His legs were already limp, and he was too stiff to move.

They saw the light of a lantern approaching in the distance, they couldn't guess which sect it was, and they saw a faint blue light appearing in the forest beside the Mingqiu Pagoda, they rubbed their eyes, and trembled with fright after seeing it clearly, those The ones that left outlines and floated indefinitely were the wild spirits that had appeared in Eternal Night City.

They saw that there seemed to be a figure on the Tyumen Tower.He stood at the top of the tower, with a clear moon behind his back, and he was controlling something in his hand.

The wind suddenly picked up, and the branches of the forest rustled.A shrill whimper sounded from nowhere, and all the corpses became agitated, some of them burrowed into the deep alley, and some of them scattered back.They are all facing the direction where the disciples are.

The lights of the lanterns in the four directions gradually spread, and the disciples of all sects and factions rushed to the Mingqiu Pagoda in the center of the city with their lanterns.The corpses quickly spread out of the woods like a wave and into the city wall, among which were some wild spirits.

And Meng Tou led several disciples and jumped onto the roof with the injured disciple.He saw the wild spirit in the city and frowned.

They currently don't know how to control the wild spirits.Wild spirits only appeared in Evernight City.The first time, they burned the cemetery by the Dongtan River, and the second time, they burned Eternal Night City.Except for burning, the rest of the methods they used were ineffective.

Corpsemen are different from wild spirits.Wild spirits can be continuously regenerated, and corpses are just controlled living dead.They may not be able to burn all the wild spirits, but they can burn this city full of corpses to ashes.

But, are they really going to burn Zhao Lincheng and make Zhao Lin the second Eternal Night?

Meng Tou didn't dare to think about it, so he ordered several disciples to take the injured disciples out of Zhao Lincheng, resettled them, and ordered them to inform the disciples who were guarding the Town God's Temple, and sent them out immediately without keeping the people in the city to watch the night.The rest of the disciples rushed to find the other sects, wishing them to escape safely.

He thought, if he couldn't defend Zhao Lincheng, then he would guard the people of Zhao Lincheng and send them out of Zhao Lincheng safe and sound.His heart seemed to be hit hard, he thought of the people of Evernight City.Those who went to Eternal Night City thought the same way at that time, the city can be rebuilt, and the people should be sent out of Eternal Night first.

But when the common people left Eternal Night City, they were displaced, and they had no way of knowing where they went.

The city was destroyed and the family died.

After all, they are incompetent after all.

All the disciples galloped with their swords at once.

Meng Tou squeezed his sword and walked in the air, and saw something hanging on the corner of the eaves of the Mingqiu Pagoda. When he got closer, he realized that it was a few jointed puppets.The puppet swayed in the wind, but there was no one on the tower.The tips of his ears suddenly caught the sound behind him, so he turned around, only to see a dark blue figure passing by.

The figures jumped up and down one by one on the roof, and gradually faded away.Meng Tou chased his figure and flew for a long distance, but the miasma was too thick. He saw the person not far away several times, but he couldn't find him as soon as he regained consciousness.

Miasma filled the air and the air was thin.He was dizzy, and within half an hour of Yujian, he stopped on the roof of a low house.

A hundred meters away, the corpse approached.

Where Meng Tou is located, there are several remote families.He suddenly found a house with lights on.He jumped down, and when he opened the door, everyone shivered inside.In the room, there was a gray-haired old man and two little girls, cuddling each other on a wooden bed.

"Hurry up and blow out the lights, the corpses will come rushing here when they see the light!"

The old man was stunned, nodded in panic, and got up to touch the candlestick.The older girl on the side was clever and rushed to extinguish the candle.

Meng Tou heard the voice of the corpse growling in the distance very clearly.He was burning with anxiety: "Mother-in-law, you have to get out of here quickly."

"Hey." The old man tremblingly took the two children out of bed.

Meng Tou went out of the room, summoned the Ice Drinking Sword, and suddenly realized that he couldn't take away three people at the same time.If he took two female dolls with him, the thin Ice Drinking Sword would not be able to bear the weight.He was a little embarrassed when he talked about it with his mother-in-law.

But my mother-in-law can't understand official language.Although Meng Tou has lived in Zhao Lin for more than ten years, he still speaks Zhao Lin with a Lizhou accent.

The older mother-in-law couldn't understand, she kept repeating with tears in her eyes: "You take the two children away, just take them away!"

The older girl said obediently: "Brother, take your sister away. My mother-in-law and I are waiting for you to come back."

Meng Tou agreed, and couldn't let go of his heart before leaving, so he sent the old man and the older girl to the roof.The old man is afraid of heights and cold, shivering.

Meng Tou immediately flew to Chenghuang Temple with the little girl Yujian.The child was ignorant of worldly affairs and didn't understand what happened in the city, and she babbled about things with her sister and grandma along the way.

Meng Tou sent her to the Town God's Temple, the child raised his head and stared at him.He knelt down, stroked the girl's little head, and asked, "Are you from the Xi tribe?"

The little girl nodded.

He smiled softly: "I'll bring your sister and grandma back later."
