Ask Sword

The blood mist spread rapidly, and where it passed, the walls and floors decayed, and large pieces peeled off, revealing the restrictions hidden in the masonry.

Zizi——

The complex light symbolizing the prohibition flickered under the effect of the blood mist until it was completely dimmed. Along with it, the talisman lamps and candles were also extinguished.

Help! My leg is pinned down!

Let me out, my head is broken—

The groans and howls of the prisoners and guards came one after another, and some people didn't even know that their eardrums had been shattered, so they yelled loudly.

The sea of ​​qi was suppressed, and the aura's operating efficiency was less than one-eighth of the original.

Under the dim moonlight, Song Shaoyuan stared at the blood mist in front of him, his thoughts changed sharply. The sound of the explosion just now resounded through the night sky, and the Nanya guards and Zhen Fusi will rush over soon.

Although Dali Temple is important, it is not an institution that is related to the survival of the whole city. Standing on the opposite side of Yu State, the benefits of blowing up Dali Temple are not great. unless.

This is a trap.

Song Shaoyuan formed a formula with one hand, and cast the technique of clear light, a ball of light the size of an egg flew straight forward, barely illuminating the ruins through the blood mist.

Swish——

Everyone could clearly see the dozens of inhuman figures slowly rising from the blood mist through the light.

Demon, monster!

A prisoner screamed, and standing in front of him was a monster more than ten feet tall.

It has four-jointed legs, a fat and wide waist, and a sharply contracted upper body. Above the thin neck of a bamboo pole hangs a green head the size of a wax gourd.

The scream attracted the demon's attention. It slowly turned its head and looked at the prisoner. In the next moment, the slender and inhuman arm directly penetrated the latter's mouth, exploding the prisoner's upper and lower jaws, connecting half of the skull together.

Blood was spilled on the ground as if money was not needed, the prisoner bled from all seven orifices, and died on the spot, but his body convulsed violently after a few breaths, and turned into a smaller monster.

step, step.

The newly born inhuman monster stood up slowly with four-sectioned insect-like steps, and also had a ferocious expression, like a Nuo face, and its dull eyes reflected the bleak faces of the people in Dali Temple.

The blood mist has appeared, and the demons have come out

————

Haotian is above, destroy the false emperor!

Punish the false emperor and clarify the Central Plains!

The sound of shouting and killing resounded over Yanzhou City, the majestic spiritual energy collided and stirred, and the fire and wind caused by talismans and spells dispersed the dark clouds in the sky.

Thirteen unidentified men in black are besieging the Yanzhou City Prefect's Mansion. The skills and styles they use are very different. The only thing they have in common is that they are all low-level in the Candle Sky Realm.

Such a force is enough to destroy the city and kill everyone in a quarter of an hour.

And the ones who stopped them were the masters of the Imperial Palace Enshrinement and Zhenfu Division.

In the prefect's mansion, officials at all levels who accompanied the emperor to Mount Tai to participate in the ceremony of enshrining Zen, hid in the house covered with protective restrictions, watching the sparks in the sky caused by the aftermath of the battle anxiously.

Reporting to Your Majesty, there is news from Chang'an that an explosion occurred in Dali Temple, affecting Shunyi Gate, Jiang Zuojian and Weiwei Temple. The number of casualties is unknown.

Shen Tuyu lowered his head slightly, and said in a deep voice: The Nanya guards and the Zhenfu Division have gone to investigate the situation.

knew.

Emperor Yu, who was sitting in the secret room of the prefect's mansion, nodded calmly.

The assassination and ambush tonight were not beyond his expectations. The palace enshrinement has already made sufficient preparations for this to ensure that nothing goes wrong.

As early as when the head of the mountain was attacked and Taihao Mountain issued a call to action, Emperor Yu had already predicted that sooner or later the conspirators lurking in the dark places of Yu State would act to create trouble and try to make Li Yu collapse.

He decided to leave Beijing this time to enshrine Zen, because he wanted to go to Mount Tai to retrieve a secret treasure left by the emperor Taizu of the Yu Kingdom.

Also in order to lure the snake out of the hole and erase the internal crisis in one fell swoop.

Now resolve the contradictions and wipe out all the evil spirits,

It will be better after a few years, when the Guardian Talisman of Mountains and Rivers dissipates, and when the nations come to attack, they will be stabbed in the back by their own people, resulting in a complete loss.

The only question is whether the prince of Jian Guo can stabilize the situation in Chang'an as planned.

boom!

A loud noise comparable to rolling thunder came from the north of the city, and Wu Shiqi shrank his neck subconsciously. While reaching for the saber hidden under his uniform, he turned his head to look north.

I saw a blood mist rising in the north of the city, like a veil like dusk, scarlet like blood, rising and spreading over time. The specific address seems to be in the imperial city?

Wu Shiqi froze in place. There is a folk legend that every brick and every wall of the imperial city is engraved with formations, which are used to guard against evil spirits and troubles.

This statement is certainly exaggerated, but the imperial city is indeed heavily restricted. Last time on Qixi Festival, there was a fire in Chang'an City, and there was a turbulent wind, and the imperial city did not suffer too much damage. until now.

It was late at night, and there were not many pedestrians on the street. They also heard the loud noise like thunder, saw the blood mist rising like a sky, and shouted in panic.

It was not until the sound of curfew drums in the streets and alleys that the passers-by woke up like a dream.

The rapid drumbeat means a curfew order, which means that Chang'an has entered military control, and idlers are not allowed to haunt the streets, otherwise they will be regarded as suspects.

This rule is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Pedestrians who are close to home hurried home, close the door, lock the door, close the windows, and hang the Haotian bell.

Those who were far away from home ran to the homes of relatives and friends to seek refuge. If it doesn't work, just rush into the nearest restaurant or inn - during special times, the innkeeper can't drive people away.

boom! boom! boom!

One after another explosions came from all directions, and blood mist also rose from those places, connecting them in midair.

Pedestrians fled in all directions, but Wu Shiqi stood still in place.

He had already found out that the dog that died in the well belonged to the Zhen Fusi Zhong's family, and wanted to go outside the Zhong Mansion to find out some news tonight, but he didn't expect to encounter a sudden change.

What should we do now? Go straight home? Or return to Wannian County and wait for the dispatch from above?

Wu Shiqi hesitated for a moment. Both of his parents died, and he was alone, so he had nothing to worry about at home. But Wannian County Magistrate Wu Shiqi didn't think that a county magistrate could do anything at this time.

Instead of being a spectator, waiting for the results of the battle between the monks in the city, and finally deciding the lives of the people in the city, he would rather take the initiative to do something.

After figuring out this joint, Wu Shiqi clenched his teeth and ran wildly. Relying on the experience of walking the streets and alleys accumulated over the years as a guard, he took a shortcut as much as possible and ran towards the south of Zhongfu.

Just then, silence fell.

The barking of dogs, the panic of people, the yelling of citizens, the sound of curfew drums, all the sounds disappeared, and it was so quiet that one could even hear one's own heartbeat.

Wu Shiqi twisted her neck stiffly and looked behind, only to see the blood mist covering the sky and covering the sun, spreading over her head. The field of vision is drastically reduced.

And in the depths of the blood mist, some monsters that look like humans but not humans have already walked onto the street.
