Eternal Life: My Millennia in the Jiaofang Division

Zhao Mu rode on a red horse and walked towards the capital.

Along the way, demons and evil spirits were everywhere, and few living people could be seen in the wilderness.

The great calamity of national destiny was about to begin, and the calamity between heaven and earth had accumulated to the peak, and the entire Jin Dynasty fell into panic.

As early as several years ago, the Demon Slayer Department combined talismans and formations to set up a city defense formation for all cities in the Jin Dynasty, and then guided the people outside the city to live in the city.

However, there are still people who are unwilling to live in the city for various reasons, just like the manor owner who killed his whole family because of offering incense to the god of fire.

The court needs to take care of most people, and for the few who really don’t want to enter the city, the court can’t force people into the city.

After all, if you want to die, you can’t always expect others to pull you.

Capital.

The mysterious talismans shine on the city walls, and the power they emit blocks the entry of most demons and evil spirits.

Zhao Mu rode on a red horse, walking along the official road to the city gate. On both sides of the official road, demons appeared from time to time, staring at him.

Behind Zhao Mu, he could see the real and illusory evil spirits following him, obviously wanting to attack him.

But unfortunately, no one dared to get close to Zhao Mu, no matter the demons or the evil spirits.

After all, the aura of the bitter sea realm cultivators was too threatening for these lower-level demons and evil spirits.

What's more, the "Da Ri Cang Long Guan" that Zhao Mu practiced was a pure and yang immortal practice, which had an amazing restraining effect on the evil ways.

So those things, although they coveted fresh flesh and blood, did not dare to take further action because they were afraid of death.

After a while, the red horse walked under the city wall.

At this moment, a team of cavalry was waiting in front of the city gate.

The leading cavalry general shouted loudly: "Open the city gate quickly, we are from Liangzhou City, Liangzhou City has urgent military information to report."

On the top of the city, a guard stuck his head out and shouted: "You came here by yourself, without a cultivator following you?"

Nowadays, there are too many demons and evil spirits in the wilderness. Except for cultivators, it is almost impossible for mortals to survive outside.

So since the construction of the city defense formation, all major cities have gathered nearby people into the city, and each city has almost become an isolated island.

The communication between cities almost depends on cultivators to convey messages.

Even if soldiers are sent to convey messages, there must be cultivators to follow, otherwise 99% of them will die in the wilderness and cannot reach their destination at all.

In recent years, although the Demon Slayer Division has developed rapidly and many cultivators have joined the court, they are still a minority compared to mortals.

So it is almost impossible to rely on cultivators to keep in touch between cities at all times.

Everyone could only send monks to pass on the news at intervals, which was also a way to ensure that other cities had not been destroyed.

In this situation, the major cities had to fight on their own, and they were full of vigilance against outsiders, including some messengers and the like.

The cavalry general answered loudly: "Of course there are monks following, but the Taoist priest committed suicide on the way to protect us. We also lost nearly a hundred people along the way and barely came to the capital."

"Is that so?"

The guard on the top of the city pondered for a moment: "Then you throw the token up, and we will open the city gate for you after checking."

"Okay."

The cavalry general waved his hand violently, and a token was thrown on the top of the city.

The guard took the token and immediately went back to find someone to check it.

It didn't take long for the guard to return to the top of the city: "Okay, we have checked the token, and now we will open the city gate, you can come in."

"Thank you."

The cavalry general bowed and said.

Creak, creak, creak...

The huge city gate was slowly opened, and the general immediately led the soldiers to rush towards the city gate.

They were about to enter the city gate.

But suddenly, a bright light curtain appeared out of thin air at the city gate, and the cavalrymen who passed through the light curtain were all covered with flames.

"Ah... What is this?"

The leading cavalry general screamed miserably, and the cavalrymen behind him fell off their horses one by one and rolled on the ground in pain.

Their faces became hideous one after another, their faces were gray, their eyes were bloodshot, and fangs grew in their mouths.

They were all zombies.

At this time, the guard led a team of people to the city gate and looked at these zombies coldly.

"Damn it, you lied to me?" The cavalry general roared angrily.

"What did I lie to you about?"

The guard said expressionlessly: "I did promise to open the city gate for you, but I didn't say I would close the city defense formation. Besides, the city defense formation is only useful for demons and evil spirits. If you were human, you would not be affected at all if you came in."

"Damn it, I won't let you go even if I become a ghost."

The cavalry general screamed hysterically, and then his body turned into ashes in the flames.

The guard shook his head: "Unfortunately, you are already ghosts."

Seeing that all the zombies were burned to ashes, the guard was about to order people to close the city gate.

But suddenly, a crisp sound of horse hooves came.

A Taoist priest rode a red horse and walked into the city gate.

Everyone became nervous and looked at the Taoist priest warily.

But the Taoist priest was unscathed and easily passed through the city defense formation. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Master Taoist, where did you come from?" the guard asked respectfully.

These days, whenever a Taoist monk appears, he will always be looked down upon by others. After all, no one can guarantee whether he is an accomplished Taoist!

Zhao Mu took out a token and threw it over: "Is the Imperial Master in the capital?"

When the guard saw the token, he suddenly looked slightly shaken and his attitude became more respectful: "It turns out that it is to be enshrined to your lord. I am reporting back to your lord. The imperial master should be in the palace now. I heard that something happened to your majesty."

"Why, what new tricks did the emperor play again?" Zhao Mu asked, raising his brows slightly.

The guard smiled bitterly: "This, my subordinates don't know the specific situation."

Although all the emperors of the Jin Dynasty over the years had no real power, he still did not dare to say what was right or wrong about the emperor without causing trouble.

After all, he is not one of the big shots in the court.

"Hey, under the great catastrophe, the royal family is also unlucky. The tribulation energy has corroded them too seriously."

Zhao Mu shook his head and looked at the ashes of the zombies on the ground: "These cavalry must be the messengers of Liangzhou City, right?"

"It should be, after all, the token is real."

The guard nodded: "But unfortunately, they should have been attacked on the road, so that the accompanying monks died tragically. These cavalry were also transformed into zombies, and were instructed by the demon to trick them into opening the city gate."

The guard's face was filled with sadness.

After all, no one can survive the catastrophe alone.

What happened to these cavalrymen may be their fate in the future.

So even though he had seen through the lies of the zombies just now, the guard didn't feel the slightest bit proud in his heart, only the sadness that he felt.
