Comprehension: Grinding the Gun

Zhan Changsheng frowned slightly. Although what Xia Tongsheng said was biased, there was some truth in it, so he had to put the matter aside first.But he never noticed that the remaining flesh and blood of Xia Houyan's body fell to the ground, seeped into the soil, gathered into a slender scarlet worm, and fled Tiangu City silently.

The remnant body fled in panic all the way, the spiritual energy was drained rapidly, and the resistance of the underground soil became heavier, making it difficult for Xia Houyan to move forward.When he sensed the familiar spiritual power coming from the top of his head, the remnant body suddenly emerged from the ground as if it had been amnesty, and called softly: "Wu Bao! Wu Bao! Where is Hu Yanfeng?"

On the ground, already in the area of ​​Changning Prefecture, a row of Qiongying soldiers were galloping on the official road.When the leading young general heard the soft call, he pulled the rein hard, stopped, his consciousness swept away, and his eyes fell on the side of the road. He hurriedly got off his horse, took the red worm in his hand, and said solemnly: "The devil king What happened to your lord to be in such a mess?"

This young general was only in the weak years, but he was born as tough as a knife, but his expression was soft and gentle like an ordinary scholar. He was the side general that Hu Yanfeng had valued in recent years, and his name was Wu Bao.

Xia Houyan didn't care to talk to him, and just said: "The situation is urgent, take me to see Hu Yanfeng quickly!"

Wu Bao didn't move, he just said: "My lord is in Dazhou now, I was ordered to go to Changning, I dare not leave my post without permission. Rong I will send another person to escort my lord back to Qiongying and wait."

Xia Houyan was anxious in his heart, the spiritual energy around the red worm did not stop for a moment, how could Hu Yanfeng come back.

Although he is the head of the Demon King of the Seven Cities, Hu Yanfeng even held his seal and surrendered to him in the past.But now the general is the beloved disciple of the Holy Master Xiangxian, and his status is so high that he can't match it now.

Even though Xia Houyan was unwilling, now that the army was defeated, he did not dare to directly accept Xiangxian's anger, so he could only condescend to ask Hu Yanfeng for help.

Unexpectedly, Huluo Pingyang was bullied by dogs, even a mere general who was in the early stage of congealing his pulse dared to push him three times and four times.

Xia Houyan—the red worm hissed, and said again: "Tiangu City is in danger, which is more important, you have to judge clearly."

Wu Baorou smiled and said: "It's because of my lowly position that I didn't think carefully, and I ask Lord Demon King to forgive me. But now... I have to ask Lord Demon King to condescend and hide."

Wu Bao turned his head to call his subordinates, took out a palm-sized wooden box and opened it.Xia Houyan's remnant body also sighed helplessly, but he had no choice but to squirm his body, climb into the wooden box, and rest in twists and turns.

Outside the wooden box was blessed with a spirit-gathering talisman, which protected the residual spiritual power from overflowing.Xia Houyan took the opportunity to adjust his breath and exercise skills, and fixed his soul, thinking that this mortal boy is as careful as a hair, so he spared his previous retreat.

But within an hour or two, the red worm suddenly felt that the world was spinning, the wooden box vibrated violently, and suddenly opened.

When he looked up in astonishment, he found that he was already on a bluestone street.The surrounding atmosphere was chilly, and countless soldiers and horses surrounded him indistinctly.

Its banners flutter, one is a silver shield embroidered with a black background, and the other is a golden dragon embroidered with a cloudy white background, Xia Houyan is very familiar with it.In the past, he was beaten to the ground by Xia Yuanzhao, the master of these two banners, throwing away his helmet and armor.

The red worm was frightened and crawled around in panic, trying to find a gap to burrow into the soil.Unexpectedly, the bluestone slab in the street was cast with a formation, sealing off all escape routes.

He raised his head abruptly, and saw a restaurant not far away was brightly lit, illuminating a young general like a god, sitting on an open-air seat on the second floor, holding tea in his hand, watching with a smile.

Xia Houyan said angrily: "Wu Bao! How dare you disobey and offend me, you are so audacious!"

Wu Bao still smiled warmly, and said softly: "Master Demon King has lost even the city, and lingering on his last breath will only increase the laughing stock, it is better to die."

Xia Houyan was still cursing angrily and cursing viciously, but Changning's soul soldiers had surrounded him and cut the red worm into a puddle of mud.His lavender primordial spirit broke free from the remnant body of the red worm, and tremblingly wanted to flee elsewhere.

The leading young general shot an arrow, the soul soldier's sharp arrow was transformed by a resentful spirit, which could hurt the body and soul, pierced through Xia Houyan's Yuanshen with a whizzing sound, and firmly nailed him to the ground.

The rest of the subordinates also sacrificed flying spears and spears, sharp swords and machetes, greeted them like rain, and strangled Xia Houyan Yuanshen cleanly, turning them into nutrients for the soul soldiers to devour.

That young general had a handsome appearance and a high-spirited spirit, presumably he had a high status in his lifetime.It's just that his face is blue and his eyes are red, which adds to the sense of eerie and gloomy.At this time, he lightly kicked his war horse, walked back and forth several times on the stone slab with only a little red worm mud left, and suddenly said sharply: "The devil king fell, Tiangu City was broken, and anyone who slipped through the net will not be left behind!" ! Kill without mercy!"

All the soldiers responded loudly: "Decree!"

Inside and outside the city, they were all submerged in the ghostly shadows, and the sound of killing shook the sky, as if a group of demons were dancing indiscriminately.

The people of Changning hid in their homes, closed their doors, and shivered.

The school official who was accompanying Wu Bao finally couldn't bear it, and whispered: "Master Wu, if you continue to toss like this, you will be scared to death if you are not killed, why don't you let the people out of the city?"

Wu Bao still smiled gently and said: "It will be boring to let it out."

The school official saw that the young man smiled as gentle as jade, but there seemed to be a storm brewing in the depths of his eyes, which made people feel frightened. Cold sweat broke out on his back, he bowed his head, took a few steps back, and dared not speak any more.

But Wu Bao was a little dull, looking outside the building, he murmured: "Not many people will die, it's very... boring, brother Changsheng."

Zhan Changsheng had already entered Tiangu City, no matter the outer city or the inner city, there were many civilian casualties.In the gloom and mist, everyone was a little at a loss.

Killing the disciples of the Longmen, but all of them survived, and none of them were lost.

At this time, all of them are chivalrous again, and they are widely using elixirs for treatment.

The demon king of Tiangu City has fallen, and now there is no owner. If Zhan Changsheng has the heart, he can replace him.

When he crossed the street on the north side of the autonomous city, he was weighing it, but after a while, he gave up the idea.

Tiangu City is vast, but now he only has a group of disciples in Xiuye ​​Valley, less than a hundred people are available.If you want to defend the city, you need to rebuild the protective barrier and resist the provocations of Xiangxian Shenggong and other demon kings. If you are so overwhelmed, where will you find the time to practice?

If millions of soul soldiers are used, it may be possible to defend the city.But this lonely city is not worthy of Zhan Changsheng's best efforts to protect it.

Just as he was thinking about this point, Zhan Changsheng's spiritual consciousness suddenly moved.

He stopped in his tracks, but for some reason he felt this strange feeling, and was stunned for a moment.

Zhan Long stood by his side, and reminded him, "Qian Kun Jie."

Zhan Changsheng followed his words, inspected the Qiankun ring, and then took out a small silver plum blossom earring.

The silver earrings were surrounded by a mass of faint red light, and the red light elongated a thin line, fluttering and extending to the side of the street.

Zhan Changsheng looked up, the door of the shop where the red line floated in was closed, and the sign hanging outside read: Nanbeitong Grocery Store.

He narrowed his eyes slightly. After a long time, the heroic young woman still had the same face. When the candle went out, her eyes were as clear as water.

A Xia said: "In the north of Tiangu City, there is a grocery store that connects the north and the south. The shopkeeper's surname is Zhao, and his name is Zhao Zhong. If you are desperate, go to him and he may help you."

"Zhao Zhong was originally surnamed Xia, and I and I were both servants of the royal family, guarding the northwest with His Royal Highness. I practiced martial arts and led the Iron Fence Camp to fight with the army; he tried to sneak into Tiangu City from Wenwen and did a detailed work. This matter cannot be passed on to the third party. In people's ears, if he asks, you just need to say: Xiaoxiao called me here."

Zhan Changsheng walked along the red line, pushed lightly, and the latch behind the door snapped, and he easily stepped into the shop.

The red line stretched lightly into the backyard.

A middle-aged man in a brown shirt with the appearance of a shopkeeper leaned against the closed door of the wing, holding a long sword, and looked at the approacher as if facing a formidable enemy.After the door was closed behind him, the terrified gasps of a woman and three children could be heard clearly.

Zhan Changsheng easily broke the clumsy magic circle he had set up in the courtyard, and approached step by step, only asking indifferently, "You are Xia Zhong?"

The man's pupils suddenly contracted like needlepoints, he raised his long sword and pointed it at Zhan Changsheng, and said in a trembling voice: "You...you are..."

Zhan Changsheng said again: "Xiaoxiao called me here."

The long sword in Xia Zhong's hand fell to the ground with a clang, and he slumped to the ground. His face was pale, and he was dripping with cold sweat. After a while, he hissed: "Xiao Xiao... has long been dead. Changning City was destroyed, and with her character , how could you steal your life?"

Zhan Changsheng tightly held the silver earrings in his hands, and asked coldly, "Since you know, why are you still alive?"

Xia Zhong's lips trembled, but he couldn't utter a single word.

Zhan Changsheng said again: "Not only live, but also marry a wife and have children, and live happily ever after."

Xia Zhong's complexion became paler, and he said in a trembling voice, "It's just...to cover up..."

Zhan Changsheng was tired of it, he didn't want to talk to him, he just lowered his eyes and said: "The Iron Fence Camp has long since been destroyed, so you don't need to do this little work again..."

Xia Zhong suddenly looked relaxed, but Zhan Changsheng turned around and said, "I'll send you to accompany A-Xia."

The man's expression changed suddenly, and he was about to beg for mercy, but he felt a chill in his chest.When he lowered his head in astonishment, he saw the green steel long sword piercing his chest.

All the strength in his body gushed out along with the blood from the wound, and when Xia Zhong coughed, the blood spattered, and his vision suddenly blurred.

All of a sudden, as if returning to her youth, the girl in red clothes was like fire, high-spirited, riding on a small bay red horse, pointing at the vast plain in front of her with a long whip, and said loudly: "Brother Zhong, do you dare to join us?" I compete?"

Then there was only darkness and silence.

Zhan Changsheng's face sank like water, and he retreated while holding the long sword.

Blood spattered from Xia Zhong's wound, and he collapsed to the ground.But after a while, a pale soul floated out from between Xia Zhong's eyebrows, and was immediately absorbed by the soul-suppressing tablet.

Zhan Changsheng took back the soul-suppressing tablet, and put the plum blossom earrings into Xia Zhong's hands, and the silver-white earrings were immediately submerged in bright red blood.He closed Xia Zhong's gradually cold fingers, turned and left the small courtyard.

A burst of heart-piercing cries suddenly erupted behind him, but he stepped out of the grocery store without even turning his head.

It was dusk, and there was no one looking around, only Zhan Long was standing outside the door, waiting for him.

Just now Zhan Changsheng remembered that he was holding a long sword in his hand. Although it was only an ordinary soldier, he finally remembered that Zhan Long didn't like it, so he hurriedly let go, threw the long sword on the ground, and said: "Senior brother, I..."

But Zhan Long didn't see how sullen, he just looked normal and hugged him into his arms.

Zhan Long's chest is generous and warm, as firm as a mountain, Zhan Changsheng closed his eyes, and leaned against his arms, "The Dragon Slaying Spear can cut off cause and effect, I'm afraid it will cut off the cause and effect between that person and A-Xia, so..."

Zhan Long said: "I know."

Zhan Changsheng said again: "I shouldn't kill innocent people indiscriminately, it's just that person..."

Zhan Long still said: "I know."

Zhan Changsheng couldn't say another word, he just hugged Zhan Long's back tightly, refusing to let go.

Zhan Long caressed the back of his head, and suddenly said again: "Changsheng, if I die, you are not allowed to live alone."

Zhan Changsheng relaxed, looked up at the magic gun, gradually smiled, and replied softly: "Okay."

If you inherit your promise, you will keep it for a lifetime.
