MTL - Ask Sword-Chapter 645 out of the cage

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

  Zizi—

   Symbolizes the complex light of prohibition, under the action of the blood mist, it flickers and dims until it is completely dimmed. Along with it, the talisman lamps and candles were also extinguished.

   "Help! My leg is pinned down!"

   "Let me out, I've got a broken head—"

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

  The sea of ​​qi was suppressed, and the efficiency of the aura 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 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 tactic with one hand, and cast the art of clear light, a ball of light the size of an egg flew straight forward, barely illuminating the ruins through the blood mist.

  sudden—

  Everyone could clearly see through the light, the dozen or so inhuman figures slowly rising from the blood mist.

   "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 bamboo neck, hangs a green head the size of a wax gourd. It has a hideous and terrifying expression, like a face.

  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 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 non-human monster stood up slowly with four-sectioned insect-like steps. It also had a ferocious expression, like a face of exorcism, 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!"

   "Slay the false emperor, 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 prefect's mansion of Yanzhou City. The exercises and styles they use are very different. The only thing they have in common is that they are all low-level in the Zhuxiao Realm.

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

  The ones who stopped them were the masters of the Palace Enshrinement and Zhenfu Department.

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

   "His Majesty, there is news from Chang'an that an explosion occurred in Dali Temple, affecting Shunyi Gate, Jiangzuojian 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."

  Sitting in the secret room of the prefect's mansion, Emperor Yu 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.

  Early when the head of the mountain was attacked and Taihao Mountain sent out a statement, Emperor Yu had predicted that sooner or later, the conspirators lurking in the shadows of the State of Yu would act to create trouble and try to collapse Li Yu.

  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 Yu State,

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

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

   It will be better than a few years later, when the Guardian Talisman of Mountains and Rivers dissipates, and when all 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. Wu Shiqi shrank his neck subconsciously, and 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 an exaggeration, but the imperial city does have many restrictions. 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 the few pedestrians on the street also heard the loud noise like thunder, and saw the blood mist rising like a sky, and shouted in panic.

  It wasn't until the curfew drums sounded in the streets and alleys that the passers-by woke up like a dream.

  The rapid drumming 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 lock, 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—in special times, the innkeeper can't drive people away.

  Boom! boom! boom!

   Explosions came one after another 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.

  He had already found out that the fine dog that died in the well belonged to Zhen Fusi Zhong's family, and wanted to go outside the Zhong Mansion to inquire about 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 to wait for dispatch from above?

  Wu Shiqi hesitated for a moment. Both of his parents died, and he was alone. There was 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 gritted his teeth and ran wildly. Relying on the experience of walking the streets and alleys accumulated over the years as an officer, he took a shortcut as much as possible and ran towards the south of Zhongfu.

   Just then, silence fell.

  The barking of dogs, the sound of panicked people, the yelling of citizens, the sound of curfew drums, all the sounds disappeared, and it was so quiet that you could even hear your own heartbeat.

  Wu Shiqi twisted his neck stiffly and looked behind, only to see the blood mist covering the sky and covering the sun, spreading over his 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.
