Chapter 92 Trap? Sure enough, you are a painting demon! (Two-in-one please subscribe~)

Taking Chen Yan with him, Liu Laodao joined Yuantong, Liu Xianer and others. The group ran for their lives and quickly fled into the city. Looking at the group of skinned puppets with green faces and fangs behind them, Yuantong roared:
  "Hurry!! Close the city gate!!!"

ka ka ka-

Accompanied by a sour and harsh sound of gear grinding.

With a muffled sound of "dong", the city gate slammed shut.

"call!"

Seeing that the city gate was successfully closed, Yuantong, Qin Chong and others heaved a sigh of relief and collapsed on the ground. Liu Xian'er, who was beside her, also had a pale face, her charming cheeks were soaked with sweat. She glanced at the only person left beside her. There were only a few people with a pale wry smile on their faces.

"Sir!! How is Master Chen!!!"

At this time, Deng Hong ran down from the city wall with an anxious look on his face, followed by Lin Wan, Feng Chan, Cui Cheng and others who also looked concerned.

After hearing Deng Hong's words, Yuantong and others immediately surrounded the young man's position.

"Where is your lord? How is your lord?"

"Master Chen, are you okay?"

"Shut up! A dog's mouth can't spit out ivory. Mr. Chen and Jiren have their own destiny. How can something happen?!"

Liu Laodao frowned and roared:
  "Everyone, please be quiet!"

In an instant, everyone shut up, and the noisy scene suddenly became quiet.

The old Taoist glanced at everyone, and then, under everyone's nervous gaze, he put his hand on the young man's pulse and closed his eyes to feel it.

Yuantong, Deng Hong and others subconsciously held their breath and looked at Liu Laodao nervously.

After a long time, Liu Laodao opened his eyes with a solemn expression.

Seeing Liu Laodao's expression, everyone's hearts couldn't help but skip a beat. Yuantong even asked hurriedly:
  "How is it? How are you doing, sir?"

Liu Laodao did not answer, but solemnly took out an elixir from the mustard bag and fed it into the unconscious young man's mouth. As the elixir entered his stomach, the young man's pale face became slightly rosier, but his eyes were still tight. Closed, unconscious.

"What's going on, sir? Daozhang Liu, please give me a message!"

This made Yuantong beside him very anxious, and he couldn't help but urge.

Deng Hong, Qin Chong, Lin Wan and others on the side could not help but stare at Liu Laodao.

Liu Laodao glanced at Yuantong, but did not scold him. He faced everyone again and said:

"My life was saved."

After hearing these words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and a huge stone in their hearts was put down. They only heard Liu Laodao change his topic:
  "It's just that the spider poison remaining in the body is strong, and it will take some time to wake up."

Speaking of this, Liu Laodao paused, glanced at everyone's faces one by one, and continued:

"Given Chen's current condition, he is definitely not suitable to stay here. It is too dangerous. He must be sent to the inner city for rest."

"Come to Sajia!"

"Leave the humble job behind!"

Almost as soon as Liu Laodao's voice fell, Yuantong and Deng Hong stood up almost at the same time.

Wu Guhan did not speak, but stood with Yuantong, showing that he and Yuantong had the same attitude.

Yuantong and Deng Hong looked at each other. Yuantong frowned, glared at Deng Hong, and said dissatisfied:
  "You have thin arms and legs, and your speed is too slow. Let Sajia do it."

Deng Hong shook his head: "Master Yuantong, you are not familiar with Shanxi Town, so you should let your humble position escort you."

Before the two of them finished speaking, Lin Wan stood up and shook her head:

"Men are not good at taking care of people. Mr. Chen is already poisonous. If he didn't take good care of his injuries on the way, he would have done something bad instead. The matter of escorting Mr. Chen to the inner city should be left to me and my junior sister. Bar."

After Lin Wan finished speaking, Feng Chan on the side nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

Yuantong's face turned red when he was told that, and he could only bite his tongue, refusing to give up and said:
  "No! The Sa family won't be able to rest assured unless they see that the adults are safe and sound."

Qin Chong on the side also nodded: "If Mr. Chen doesn't wake up, everyone will not be able to feel at ease. We might as well go together."

"Nonsense!!!"

As soon as Qin Chong finished speaking, Liu Laodao scolded him with an angry face.

After everyone was quieted down, Liu Laodao glared at everyone angrily and scolded:
  "How do you put the safety of Shanxi Town at risk like this! Mr. Chen has spent so much effort just to ask you to give up defending the city and waste all his hard work!"

"If you leave, who will defend the city?! If the city gate is breached, will you be worthy of Mr. Chen! Huh?!"

It seemed like he was responding to Liu Laodao.

"Bang bang bang!"

A series of crashing sounds were heard outside the city gate, and the entire city gate was shaking violently. Even without looking, you could tell that thousands of skinned puppets were desperately slamming into the city gate at this moment.

After hearing Liu Laodao's scolding, everyone present could not help but look ashamed. Even Yuantong's lips twitched and he lowered his head unwillingly under Liu Laodao's glare.

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded, attracting everyone's attention:

"Master Chen, please leave it to Cui to escort you."

Everyone looked over and were surprised to find that it was Cui Cheng from Qixing Pavilion who stood up.

Facing everyone's gaze, Cui Cheng looked calmly and said seriously:

"Cui has a sect's magic weapon [Seven-Star Chariot] on his body. Fellow Taoist Lin should have heard of this magic weapon. It is a flying magic weapon. It has an inner room specially designed for people to rest. Mr. Chen can just lie in it. Not affected in any way.”

Speaking of this, Cui Cheng slapped the mustard seed bag, and a chariot shaped like a carriage appeared in front of everyone. This chariot looked particularly jeweled, with a canopy on the top and beaded beads on the four sides. A different form of chariot appeared on each layer. Baoguang looks solemn yet gorgeous. You can tell at a glance that it is a rare treasure.

"Furthermore, the Seven Star Chariot is extremely fast and has its own defensive formation. It is not afraid of accidents. It only takes half a quarter of an hour to escort Mr. Chen back to the inner city. It won't take much time to go back and forth."

Cui Cheng explained while displaying the seven-star chariot in front of everyone.

Seeing the bejeweled Seven Star Chariot, Lin Wan glanced at Cui Cheng in surprise and said:

"Did you bring out the [Seven Star Chariot]?"

Cui Cheng smiled sheepishly: "I secretly brought it out behind Master's back."

Lin Wan shook her head and said nothing more. Instead, she looked at Liu Laodao and nodded:
  "If it is this treasure, it would be very suitable for escorting adults."

Even Yuantong and Deng Hong remained silent after seeing the magnificent Seven-Star Chariot, obviously acquiescing.

Liu Laodao glanced at Cui Cheng, then at the seven-star chariot beside Cui Cheng. After hesitating for half a year, he finally nodded:
  "Okay then, I'll leave the task of escorting Mr. Chen to you. You go and come back quickly."

Cui Cheng nodded solemnly and said:

"Yes! Cui will definitely fulfill his mission! If Mr. Chen is injured in the slightest, Cui will come and see you!"

Liu Laodao nodded and put the pale boy into the inner room.

Cui Cheng stood at the front of the car and nodded towards everyone. Just as he was about to urge the chariot to move, he was suddenly interrupted by a voice:
  "Wait a minute!" Everyone looked and saw Liu Xian'er suddenly speaking.

Seeing everyone's doubtful looks, Liu Xian'er's fair face revealed a pale smile, and she spoke softly:

"I'm afraid Mr. Cui can't take care of Mr. Chen alone. Mr. Chen was seriously injured. A large part of the responsibility lies with me. Moreover, my strength is low. Even if I stay here, I can't help you. It's better to escort Mr. Chen with Mr. Cui. go back."

"Master Liu is right. It's better to have someone beside you to take care of you."

Lin Wan on the side agreed after hearing this.

Seeing that what Liu Xian'er said was reasonable, Liu Laodao naturally had no reason to refuse and agreed to go with Liu Xian'er to take care of the boy.

Only Cui Cheng glanced at Liu Xian'er without any trace. The two of them looked at each other and then smiled politely.

Under the gaze of everyone, Liu Xian'er walked into the carriage, squatted down next to the young man, took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the sweat on the young man's forehead.

Standing at the front of the car, Cui Cheng nodded heavily towards everyone, and then mobilized the magic power in his Dantian to infuse it into the formation carved on the chariot.

Then, under the concerned eyes of everyone, the chariot slowly flew up and flew towards the inner city.

Yuantong closed his eyes, held the demon-conquering Zen staff in one hand, and put the palm upright between his nose with the other hand, chanting in his mouth:

"Namo Amitabha……"

Everyone was praying in their hearts, praying that the young man was safe and sound. What no one noticed was that Liu Laodao, who was at the front of the crowd, looked at the direction in which the chariot was flying, his old eyes narrowed, and there was an inexplicable color flashing in his eyes.

The bait has been set.

It just depends on whether the fish takes the bait or not...
-
  Due to the attack by the Skinned Puppet Tide, the entire outer city of Shanxi Town was wiped out. All the people who originally lived in the outer city moved to the inner city. At the intersection of the inner and outer cities, there were 3,000 young people. Under the leadership of the head catcher Zhao Gang, fortifications were built intensively.

Although it is not stated explicitly, everyone knows that the city gate cannot be defended for long, so the inner city wall is the last line of defense against the tide of skinned puppets.

In the outer city, there are also many traps set up by Liu Laodao and the others. The purpose is to delay the attack of the skinned puppets on Shanxi Town. As long as they are delayed to Lingzhou County for support, the crisis in Shanxi Town will be easily solved.

But there is a prerequisite, that is, the human heart cannot be dispersed.

Because the people's hearts are dispersed, no one can think about defending the city. Everyone is thinking about how to escape and how to survive.

Therefore, Chen Yan's importance in Shanxi Town is reflected.

Because as long as Chen Yan is still alive, everyone still has the confidence and hope to resist. If even Chen Yan falls, then hope will be shattered.

It is impossible for Shanxi Town to persist until the day when Lingzhou County comes to help.

At this time, Zhao Gang was personally leading his men to build the inner city wall. The houses in the outer city were made of ready-made materials. All available materials were used in order to make the inner city wall stronger and stronger. .

Suddenly, a cry of surprise came from the crowd. Zhao Gang looked in the direction of the sound and saw a jeweled chariot flying high in the distance.

"Cultivator?"

Zhao Gang frowned, wondering why a monk suddenly returned to the inner city at this time.

Has the city gate been lost?

Zhao Gang's heart sank, and he had a bad feeling for no reason.

He was about to ask, but he saw that the speeding chariot overhead had no intention of stopping and flew directly over everyone's heads, heading straight for the center of the inner city.

The moment the chariot flew past, Zhao Gang vaguely saw a face with an indifferent expression. He vaguely remembered that it was someone beside the young man. He felt slightly relieved, but then he frowned again.

Why did you suddenly return to the inner city at this time?
  Zhao Gang's doubts were not mentioned for the moment, and the chariot was galloping all the way at an extremely fast speed, but in the blink of an eye, it stopped in a secluded and uninhabited open space.

In the inner room, Liu Xian'er, who was taking care of the boy, felt the chariot stop and couldn't help but look out the window and saw a quiet and deserted poolside. It seemed that this was also the relocation place arranged by the inner city. People who lived here The people have already moved away.

Liu Xian'er frowned lightly, and Liu Xian'er couldn't help but look at Cui Chengdao doubtfully:

"Master Cui, what are you doing here? Isn't this the county government office?"

Outside, Cui Cheng looked expressionless and looked at the two people in the inner room with an indifferent expression, saying nothing.

Seeing Cui Cheng's appearance, Liu Xian'er's face suddenly turned pale. She looked around in panic, and couldn't help shouting:
  "Is there anyone! Is there anyone here!! Help!!! Mr. Chen is here! Help!!"

"It's useless. I drove to the inner city specifically to prevent the noise from attracting the old man's attention. This place is far away from the outer city. Even if I heard the noise and wanted to come back with support, it would be too late in less than a quarter of an hour."

Cui Cheng looked at the two people in the inner room with a cold face. No, to be precise, he looked at the young man lying quietly on the bed. There was an unconcealed murderous intent in his eyes. He sneered and said:
  "Do you think what I said is right? Huh? Master Chen?"

Every time Cui Cheng said a word, Liu Xianer's face turned pale. When she heard the last word, she was so frightened that her face turned pale. When she heard the words 'Master Chen', she suddenly woke up again and quickly shook her hand. Hold the boy's arm.

However, the young man seemed to be still in a coma, with his eyes closed tightly and showing no intention of opening them.

"Stop pretending, Master Chen. I am different from those fools outside the city. You can fool other people, but you can't fool me. Aren't you doing this just to catch me showing up?"

Cui Cheng was not fooled at all, his eyes were cold and his tone was light.

When he finished saying this.

"Pfft."

Just hear a soft sound.

The skin around Cui Cheng's mouth actually tore a crack.

Under the dim light, a trace of light blue flesh could be vaguely seen under the crack.

Outside the chariot, 'Cui Cheng' laughed silently.

The faint beating light cast his shadow on the chariot, as if the shadows all over the chariot were filled with demons ready to move.

Cui Chengsen's cold voice continued:
  "It's just that I didn't expect that you would actually dare to act as a bait to lure me out. But have you ever thought that what you are catching is not a fish, but..."

"Thorn."

There was a slight tearing sound.

Cui Cheng's scalp was actually taken off like clothing, revealing a woman's face as pale as death, with black lips. He looked at the young man in the chariot with a sinister smile on his face:
  "Instead, a dragon!"

"what!!!"

Liu Xian'er had never seen such a terrifying scene before. She screamed in fright, rolled her eyes, and fainted.

Cui Cheng, no, it should be said that the Painted Skin Demon didn't even look at Liu Xian'er. He opened his mouth, and the whole mouth tore into a long and narrow crack, revealing scarlet sharp teeth like files in the crack.

"Ugh."

Suddenly, there was a sudden sigh, and the Painted Skin Demon suddenly focused his eyes and looked into the car.

I saw the young man who was lying on the bed slowly sitting up, looking at the painted-skin demon outside the chariot with a pair of deep eyes, and a cold voice echoed in the air:

"It's really you."
