Chapter 346: The Storm Has Fallen (7)

Nothing to say all the way.

After having a clear destination, Wu Ran's speed increased a lot, and the group shuttled along the highway like ghosts. About the afternoon of the next day, I arrived at the destination - Chang'an City.

The position of Chang'an in history can be said to be extremely important, before and after more than ten dynasties selected as the capital, Fenghao capital, Qin Afang Palace, the Mausoleum of the First Emperor, Han Weiyang Palace, Changle Palace, Sui Daxing City, Tang Daming Palace, Xingqing Palace and other ruins exist here.

The ruins of old palaces and the tombs of dignitaries are scattered throughout the city, perhaps because of these historical reasons, in addition to preserving a large number of ancient buildings, there are also many contemporary imitations of ancient buildings.

When Wu Ran entered Chang'an City, he could be regarded as finding a little familiar feeling, but these familiar feelings would only come when he saw those old sites.

"It turns out that the building that was so tall and magnificent has not been completed like this. Wu Ran looked at an old building that survived from the Tang Dynasty and sighed with such emotion: "Time is really the most irresistible force in heaven and earth. ”

Wu Ran recalled the last time he came to Chang'an, when it was still the Tang Dynasty, the national power was at its peak, and Chang'an was almost the most prosperous international city in the world at that time.

At that time, whether it was humanities, economics or politics, it was a first-class level. Wu Ran seemed to be so old at that time, and he was also wearing the gray robe that had not changed for thousands of years, walking on the streets of Chang'an. Because he was amazed by the prosperity of the city, he couldn't help but stay for a few more days, and that day was just in time for the Lantern Festival, Chang'an became a city that never sleeps, and not only the people of the Tang Dynasty, but also people from other countries crowded into this city.

The streets of Chang'an are bustling with people, in addition to the most authentic oriental faces, there are also blonde and blue-eyed western faces, and there are also rare black-skinned people, it is said that they all admire the culture of the Tang Dynasty, from a far away, across the ocean to come here.

On the night of the Lantern Festival, also known as Shangyuan, the Tang Emperor built a magnificent lamp tower in Xingqing Palace, and gave the name Taishang Xuanyuan Lantern Tower, this lamp tower is nearly 100 zhang high, if nothing else, this building should be the highest building in the world at that time, there is no one.

At night, the lantern tower is lit up, even through most of Chang'an City, you can see this tallest and gorgeous building, the whole lantern tower is like a huge lotus flower in full bloom, is blooming from the colorful lights.

Then, there were dozens of lantern-pulling convoys coming in from all directions of Chang'an City, and began to march from the bustling crowd to the Taishang Xuanyuan Lantern Tower.

These convoys came from all over the country, and each convoy had a stunning dancing queen, and the purpose of their coming here was to compete in dance skills, and the convoy of dancing queens who won the final victory was entitled to drive generously to Xingqing Palace, and perform their own stunts in the open space specially set aside in front of the lantern tower for the lantern pulling team that won the first place. At that time, the emperor and civil and military officials who climbed the lantern tower, as well as the people who came to join in the fun, will watch the dancing of this dancing queen, and at that time, it will really be famous all over the world.

Wu Ran recalled that when he stood in the sky opposite the emperor on the Taishang Xuanyuan Lantern Tower, he looked down at the graceful woman who was dancing to the vocal music in the clearing, and heard in his ears that outside the clearing, the bustling people were shouting in unison the name of this dancing girl 'Xu Hezi' and 'Xu Hezi'.

It was really a prosperous scene, regardless of high and low, regardless of region and country, and all people enjoyed together.

In the dancing girl wine shop, the lights splashed, the red candles overflowed with tears, and the people shouted wildly. Chang'an that night was really the happiest place in the world.

Wu Ran's thoughts were withdrawn from his memories, and he realized that he had been walking for a long time in a distraction. The four corpses carried two Tianzi Iron Guards, and followed behind honestly, not leaving an inch.

This appearance should be extremely weird, if it is placed in other places, walking on the street will either attract onlookers, or scare people to flee far away, but this is Chang'an, a city that greatly respects Han culture.

It is common to see people walking on the streets wearing authentic Hanfu, so Wu Ran's old robe did not attract the attention of others at all. The four corpses were still wearing antique soldier iron armor, but they were tattered in many places and rusty, but at most this only aroused the slightly curious eyes of passers-by, and the person who saw it said in his heart that he deliberately made the clothes old, but it was creative. When I saw the corpse's face again, the shriveled and miserable white skin, the nose and two eyes that had become a black hole, were suddenly startled, but they were only startled.

It turned out to be in shape, and I don't know what kind of activity there is today. With this thought, he curiously looked at the two people who were carried in his hands twice, and then turned around and left.

Wu Ran looked around casually, wondering where he had gone, and saw a wide long street next to it, the street was wide, and there was a lot of people in it, and the buildings on both sides of the street were imitating the architectural style of the Tang Dynasty. At the intersection of this street, there is an artificial stone lying horizontally, on which are written five words - Datang Never Sleeps City.

"It's funny. Wu Ran was interested, suddenly frowned, and turned his face to look at somewhere on the opposite street corner.

As soon as the brass bell rang in his sleeve, one of the corpses jumped over the wide road with incredible speed and movement, and entered a small alley, and a few minutes later the corpse came back from the alley, and his dry but steel-like fingers were stained with fresh blood.

"The people of the inn?" Wu Ran asked softly, of course the corpse leader would not answer, it just stood back in silence as if nothing had happened, and the blood on its fingers slowly condensed to its fingertips, and then fell to the ground.

"You've been discovered. Wu Chen looked at the blood dripping on the ground, his brows furrowed, he knew that another of the inn's iron guard companions had been poisoned.

"So what?" Wu Ran didn't care, he turned his head to look at the long street known as the 'Tang City That Never Sleeps'.

"It's useless for you to kill him. As soon as you enter the city, your whereabouts have already been passed on by the eyeliner of our inn. ”

"How can the old man not know about such an obvious little thing?" Wu Ran thought in his heart, should he wait for it to get dark and see if this so-called 'Tang Dynasty Sleepless City' has a bit of the atmosphere of the Shangyuan Festival in Chang'an. After all, it is old, and it is always more nostalgic, and once there is a big trouble, Diqiu will become the main battlefield, and other regions of Kyushu will also be implicated to varying degrees, and this Chang'an City should be seriously destroyed. If you want to see it later, you won't be able to see it.

"Although you want to attract the masters of the inn to come over and deal with you, so as to help the Wu Ji who attacked the Fengfu Jade Gate behind them share their strength. However, you don't have to worry, in case the inn sends a few masters, a few masters who are strong enough to kill you together. You're going to die. Wu Chen tilted his head to look at Wu Ran: "At that time, even if you succeed in containing a few high-level combat forces in the inn, you will be dead." At that time, whether the Fengfu Jade Gate will be captured or not, what does it have to do with you?"

Wu Chen saw that Wu Ran had no expression on his face, and continued to say, "Listen to me." It's too late to change your decision. Don't make a big fuss here, wouldn't it be safer for you to go back to Xiaodongtian and follow the big army to attack Emperor Qiu together?"

"Hmph. Wu Ran glanced at Wu Chen disdainfully and said, "Boy, don't waste your saliva. You don't believe me. Aren't you just trying to trick me into letting this city go?"

"You're most likely going to be besieged by several masters. Do you think I'm alarmist by saying this?" Wu Chen asked rhetorically, and continued: "What's more, the people in this city are all innocent, and you can bear it?"

"For the sake of the great cause, there are always some unavoidable things. I can only use the people of this city to blackmail me in order to attract as many masters of the inn as possible. Wu Ran paused: "What you said are not afraid of being besieged and killed." I'm not afraid, it's my lifelong wish to attack the Fengfu Jade Gate. It doesn't matter if the old man can enter the Fengfu Jade Gate, and it doesn't matter if he can climb the Spirit Mountain and ascend to become a god.

All I have to do is disobey Wu Xian's orders, and I will be happy to see the situation that Wu Xian has laid down and that has lasted for thousands of years be destroyed. ”

Wu Ran turned his head and looked at Wu Chen and Ji Xun, this was the first time he had faced them since he captured them: "Can you understand? Wu Xian doesn't want future generations to enter the Fengfu Jade Gate, I have to enter, Wu Xian doesn't want anyone to climb the Spirit Mountain to eat the elixir, I have to climb the Spirit Mountain to eat the elixir." I really hope we can succeed, and I really want to know what Wu Xian's expression will be like when someone suddenly soars up under the Upper Realm.

Moreover, the people sent by the inn may not really have the ability to kill me. The old man smiled slyly: "I know that the inn has completely mastered my whereabouts and all my combat power, and will definitely be able to accurately send a master who can deal with me." But when they do come here, do you think they just have to deal with me?"

Wu Chen and Ji Xun's faces changed, and their hearts were not good: "And the two of you, after you were killed by the corpse and turned into a monster, you are also on my side." And, there are the people of the city. Every time I kill a corpse, it will turn into a part of my combat power. At that time, your inn will come to deal with my masters, and you will face the entire city of infected monsters. ”

"Do you really want to infect the entire city into monsters?" Wu Chen and Ji Xun were shocked.

"For the sake of the great cause, I have to do it. Wu Ran said.

"What bastard do you have to do!? You're just afraid of death!" Wu Chen scolded: "You are afraid of being killed, so you pulled so many people into the water and took so many people's lives, just to get a chance to live." Take the lives of 40 million people in exchange for your life!"

"Whoever the inn sends. Causing chaos in this city is part of the old man's plan. Wu Ran snorted coldly, seeing that a few passers-by were attracted by Wu Chen's scolding, they stopped not far away and looked here, their hearts sank, and they couldn't make a panic at this time and were escaped by these people, so the bell in his sleeve rang again, and the corpse leader slashed Wu Chen with a knife again.

Then he glanced at Ji Xun, who had been silent but glared at him: "Do you want to be knocked unconscious too?"

"Have you ever thought about it. If you really turn the whole city into monsters, do you have the ability to control it? Once it gets out of control, it's not just about this Chang'an City, and it's not something you can afford to exchange for a mere old life. Ji Xun took a deep breath and continued: "What kind of mess will a monster that loses control cause, have you ever imagined?"

"I'm afraid the whole of Kyushu will not be guaranteed. What's more, I'm afraid it's not just the whole of Kyushu, but also the foreign country. Wu Ran was rarely unconfident: "I will try my best to control it." After all, it wasn't my goal to involve the whole of Kyushu. ”

"You've only controlled four corpses at this point. If the whole city were to become monsters, it would be 40 million. It's a full 40 million times, how can you control it. Ji Xun's tone was heavy, he had already foreseen the tragic situation at that time.

"The old man is free and measured in his heart. After Wu Ran finished speaking unhappily, he turned around and left with the corpse.
