    Chapter 63 Who did I see?

    At that time, Lin’an City was in the midst of a war. The ground was covered with blood and ointment everywhere you looked, and there were broken walls and ruins everywhere.Under the influence of the evil ghost miasma, the grass on the outskirts of the city was withered and the trees were withered.

    Before Mo Ran could recover, he heard a strange noise. He raised his head and suddenly saw a pair of fresh intestines hanging on the broken branch of an old locust tree not far away. More than ten black crows were pecking around, and blood drops and meat residues were constantly splashing down.

    Under the tree, the body of a middle-aged man lay prone, his abdomen torn open by sharp claws, and dirty blood and internal organs flowed all over the floor.No one can know whether he had his eyes open or closed when he died. His eyeballs had been pecked out.

    Mo Ran is no stranger to such a scene.

    In his previous life, he roamed the world and massacred all seventy-two cities of Rufengmen. At that time, blood flowed everywhere and corpses lay everywhere. It was also such a tragic situation.

    But for some reason, the blood from his previous life made him extremely happy, and every fiber of his body was screaming wantonly.However, at this moment, he suddenly saw a similar tragic situation again, and he felt a cold pity in his heart… Could it be that he had been pretending to be good for a long time, and he gradually changed his gender without knowing it?

    While I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves, and a cloud of dust rose in front of me.

    Anyone who can ride a horse in such a chaotic world is probably not a good bird.

    Mo Ran immediately grabbed Chu Wanning and took him behind him. However, the old road in Lin’an was empty and there was no place to hide.In the blink of an eye, a group of Qingqi appeared in the vast dust and smoke. After a closer look, I realized that the horses were not strong. Some of them were so hungry that their ribs were clearly visible. There were more than ten people sitting on the horses, holding the bridles.

    Those people wore uniform uniforms with white background and red robes, red and white feathers on their heads, and double-dragon strangling forehead rings on their eyebrows.Although their clothes are not very clean, they are very neat. Although their faces are particularly thin, they are still in good spirits.What’s even more rare is that each of them is holding a powerful bow, and his back is full of feather arrows.

    In these troubled times, the most valuable things are two things: food and weapons.

    They are obviously not ordinary people.

    Mo Ranzheng does not know whether the coming person is good or evil, enemy or friend.But I heard one of the fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy scream miserably: “Dad! Dad!”

    The young man staggered off the horse with a plop, fell into the dirt, and climbed up again. He stumbled and ran towards the bottom of the tree. He threw himself on the dead middle-aged man and cried loudly: “Abba! Abba!”

    The other people also showed expressions of pity, but they had obviously seen too many lives and deaths, so many that they were even a little numb. Therefore, except for the young man who was caressing the corpse and crying bitterly, no one else got off his horse and tried to persuade him.

    Someone noticed Mo Ran and Chu Wanning not far away. They were stunned for a moment and asked in Lin’an’s rich Mandarin: “Are you not local?”

    Mo Ran said: “Yes,…we come from Shu.”

    “So far?” The man was surprised. “In this world, there are always evil spirits at night. How did you survive?”

    “…I know some magic.” Mo Ranxin knew that if he spoke too much, he would be wrong. Seeing that these people were not malicious, he pulled Chu Wanning out to talk. “This is my brother. We passed by here and couldn’t walk anymore. We want to take a rest.”

    When those people in the cavalry met Chu Wanning, some seemed to be slightly stunned, and two of them whispered to each other.

    Mo Ran alerted: “What’s wrong?”

    “It’s nothing,” said the leading young man, “Seriously. You should rest in the city. Although there are no monsters here right now, if it comes at night, there will be ghosts everywhere. Xiaoman’s adoptive father went out to find food during the day, but it rained heavily yesterday and he didn’t have time to come back before dark. Don’t you think…” He sighed heavily and stopped talking.

    It turns out that Xiaoman was the boy who cried bitterly, and the person who died under the tree was his adoptive father.In troubled times, something like this always happens. A family goes out to look for food alone. The person who is fine in the morning goes out and never comes back in the evening.

    Although he knew that this had happened two hundred years ago, the young man cried heartbreakingly and almost cried blood. Mo Ran saw it in his eyes, but he still couldn’t help but feel a little astringent in his chest.

    However, after the slight aches and pains passed, there was a sudden feeling of panic.

    In the previous life, people killed without blood, so why did they gradually become so soft-hearted?

    Immediately took Chu Wanning and said goodbye to the young man.

    The leader said: “When you enter Lin’an City, find a place to stay first. The entire city of Lin’an will be moved to Putuo soon. There is plenty of spiritual energy there and has not been invaded by ghost energy yet. You are alone, so why not come with us.”

    “Relocation of the whole city?”

    “Yes.” When the man said this, his eyes were blazing, and his face seemed to be radiating radiance. “Thanks to Mr. Chu’s good plan, the whole city, young and old, can save their lives. No more, no more, we have to search the outskirts of the city before dark to see if there are any survivors who can be brought back to the city – Oh, Xiao Man, let’s go, let’s go.”

    He called Xiaoman, but Xiaoman was still holding his adoptive father’s body and crying, without looking back.

    Mo Ran sighed, pulled Chu Wanning, and whispered: “Let’s go. Let’s go to the city first.”

    Chu night Ning nodded, and suddenly asked: “You said he moved the whole city, has it been successful?”

    Mo Ran took he’s slightly cool young hand and said: “Do you want to listen to the truth or a lie?”

    “Of course listen to the truth.”

    “Children, it’s better to listen to lies.”

    Chu Wanning said: “They didn’t make it.”

    “Yes.” Mo Ran said, “Look, you know what the truth is, but you still want to ask again, as if asking me once will change the outcome.”

    Chu Wanning ignored he and continued to ask: “Do you know why they didn’t make it?”

    “Look, you’re asking me again. I’m not an old goblin who has lived for two hundred years. How do I know this?”

    Chu Wanning was silent, and after a while he said gloomily: “Almost all the people in Lin’an City have died in the past two hundred years.”

    Mo Ran: “…”

    Chu Wanning said: “Not many escaped.”

    “No, junior brother, you are so young, how come you know everything?”

    Chu Wanning rolled his eyes: “Elder Yu Heng has talked about it more than once in the old history. You didn’t listen in class, but instead asked me why I knew it so well. It’s really hateful.”

    Mo Ran was a little speechless, thinking that I was distracted in my master’s class, and he hadn’t scolded me yet, so why did you scold me, but after thinking about it, he still didn’t have the same knowledge as a child, so he was happy.

    The two walked while talking, and unknowingly passed the city gate and arrived at the main city of Lin’an.This ancient city, which stands on one side of the Qiantang River, has been fortified and clear, and exorcism fortifications are all over the walls and along the city walls.

    There are countless corpses piled up outside the city, all covered with curse marks of evil spirits. If such corpses are not dealt with, they will rise up at night.

    The Taoist priests took advantage of the yang at noon and went outside to spread incense ashes. For those with particularly deep curse marks, they dipped cinnabar in wine and drew talismans to disperse them.

    There are two guards standing in front of the city gate. They are dressed exactly like the group of young people they just saw outside the city. They are also white with red piping. Two dragons strangle their foreheads, their arms are holding bows, and their backs are full of quivers.

    “Stop, who is it?”

    Mo Ran then explained what he had just said. The two doormen did not deliberately want to stop people from entering, but wanted to register, so after recording the two of them, they let them in.

    Before leaving, Mo Ran thought of the “Mr. Chu” mentioned by the young man on horseback. Since that man said that Lin’an’s relocation of the city was a good idea of ​​”Mr. Chu”, then the key to cracking the virtual formation should be this Mr. Chu.

    “I’m sorry, I want to ask you about someone.” Mo Ran said.

    The guard raised his eyes: “You are from Shuzhong, do you know anyone else?”

    Mo Ran smiled and said: “No, it was the military masters I met on the road who mentioned a young master named Chu. He said that he would take the whole city, young and old, to move to Putuo in two days. I wonder who this young master Chu is? I have some skills in magic. If I can, I would like to help him. ”

    The guard looked at him back and forth. Maybe he felt that Mo Ran could bring a little baby all the way here unscathed, so he must be somewhat capable, and said: “Young Master Chu is the eldest son of the prefect. The ghost king came a month ago, and the prefect was unfortunately killed. After that, the young master has been leading us to defend against the enemy.”

    “The prefect’s son?” Mo Ran and Chu Wanning glanced at each other, and Mo Ran turned around and said, “How strange, does the prefect’s son also know magic?”

    “What’s so strange!” The guard glanced at Mo Ran, “Do you allow the sects to practice cultivation, but not the mortal cultivators?”

    “…”

    There are some casual cultivators, but they never become a phenomenon.

    The ink burned in his heart, could it be that Mr. Chu made a clanking sound with half a bucket of water, and made a blind idea that harmed the lives of the people in Lin’an City?

    But following the guard’s instructions and walking towards the prefect’s mansion, Mo Ran immediately realized that he had thought wrong.The young man who happens to have the same surname as Master He is obviously not a three-legged cat Kung Fu master.

    Because he saw the super clear barrier.

    The Shangqing Barrier is a very powerful pure energy barrier that can block all evil spirits within the range.As long as this enchantment is open, not to mention ordinary ghosts, even thousand-year-old ghosts will be unable to step even an inch into it.

    However, the protective range of this kind of enchantment must be visited by the caster in person as an eye of the formation.And the area covered is extremely small. Even a great master like Chu Wanning can only use the upper clear barrier to cover half of the top of life and death.

    At this moment, this Mr. Chu from two hundred years ago created a Shangqing barrier covering ten miles around the prefecture. Although it is far inferior to Chu Wanning, it is by no means comparable to that of ordinary people.

    The two of them walked towards the gate of the Prefect’s Mansion. Mo Ran originally wanted to try his luck and let someone know that a monk was asking for help to see if the Prefect would like to meet him.

    Unexpectedly, as soon as he turned a corner, he saw three long lines lined up at the gate of the prefect’s office.Six maids dressed like the guard cavalry set out thick wooden buckets, and hundreds of old, frail, women and children with sallow complexions gathered in front of the government office, receiving the rice and porridge from the alms one after another.

    After receiving the porridge, everyone came to the begonia tree in front of the house.Under the flower tree stood a man in white clothes, with long dark hair loosely tied into a bunch. He was handing out the drawn talisman paper one after another to everyone, and carefully giving instructions on what they needed to pay attention to.

    He’s back is facing Mo Ran, so he can’t see his appearance clearly.

    However, those who received the talisman all said to him gratefully: “Thank you so much, Mr. Chu, for your kindness, thank you so much, Mr. Chu for your kindness…” and dispersed muttering.

    So this is the governor’s son?

    Mo Ran was curious and pulled his junior brother around to take a look.

    With just one glance, Mo Ran’s eyes suddenly opened wide, like a five-thunder initiation——

    This, isn’t this Chu Wanning???

    Not to mention Mo Ran, even Chu Wanning himself was stunned. Looking from a distance at the end of the queue, the prefect Chu Gongzi had a clear face, sword-shaped eyebrows and phoenix eyes, but the bridge of his nose was very soft. Even the white clothes were extremely similar to himself!

    Allen Chu: “…”

    Mo Ran: “…”

    After being frozen for a long time, Mo Ran said tremblingly: “Junior brother.”

    “Yeah.”

    “Have you ever felt that… this Mr. Chu looks very much like the same person?”

    Chu Wanning said dryly: “Like Elder Yuheng.”

    Mo Ran slapped his thigh: “That’s right! What’s going on? Who is this person? What is his relationship with Master?”

    “…You ask me, how do I know.”

    “Aren’t you paying attention to the class?” Mo Ran was very anxious.

    “I don’t know how to teach this class.” Chu Wanning was very angry.

    The two of them stopped talking and stood in line, slowly moving forward, staring at the young master intently.

    Looking more carefully, in fact, Mr. Chu and Chu Wanning do not look exactly the same.This young master’s face is more quiet and elegant, his eyes are not so narrow and narrow, his pupils are warmer, and his eyes are much softer than Chu Wanning’s.

    Mo Ran looked at it, suddenly said “Hey”, lowered his head to look at his junior brother again.

    “Let me take a good look.”

    “What…” Chu nightning couldn’t help but feel guilty and turned his face away.

    When Mo Ran saw that he was hiding, he became more and more reluctant. He stretched out his hand to pinch his face and forced him to look back.he looked at it for a while, suddenly realized something, and murmured: “Oops.”

    Chu nightning forced himself to calm down: “What, what’s wrong?”

    Mo Ran narrowed his eyes: “No wonder just outside the city, those people would whisper to each other when they saw you. I suddenly discovered that you look a bit like Master.”

    “………………”

    Allen Chu hurriedly broke away, but the tips of his ears turned red: “Nonsense.”

    “But it’s so strange, why can the guards see it at a glance, but I can’t think of it for a long time?”

    Chu nightning: “…………”

    Just when I was puzzled, there was a sudden sound, and a childish voice shouted: “Dad.”
