Shao Heng walked with his sword, and in an instant, he was outside Jinyun City. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The sword light fell, Shao Heng revealed his figure, looking at the towering city wall of Jinyun City, his eyes suddenly became cold.

Without entering the city, he had already noticed that Jinyun City, which was supposed to be full of people and noisy, seemed to fall into a dead silence, and there was not even a birdsong and a dog barking.

Shao Heng did not enter the city immediately, but only lightly jumped to the top of the city to take in the scene in the city: in Jinyun City, there are four main roads running east-west and north-south, and the main road that can accommodate four carriages driving side by side is extremely empty except for a little debris and black dust.

Shao Heng retracted his gaze and looked at the city wall at his feet, thoughtfully.

At that time, Cao Mo had already led someone to intercept the shopkeeper Yun, and with his suspicious temperament, he would not let go of this opportunity to spy on the shopkeeper Yun and the others. However, why is it that the top of this city is intact, without the slightest trace of fighting?"

Shao Heng carefully inspected every place in the city, and there were indeed no traces left by the monks' battles except for the natural traces left by the erosion of wind and frost.

"If they didn't do it, then where did Cao Mo and the shopkeeper and the monk surnamed Zou go, and where did all the monks and people in Jinyun City go?"

The spring wind still lingers in the winter chill, blowing from all sides of the city, bringing up a little dust and drifting into the distance.

Shao Heng stood silent for a moment, facing this city that suddenly went from prosperity to silence, and he still couldn't understand.

If it is said that there are great monks who killed all the people in the city, why did they not see the slightest trace of blood, and not even a single carcass of livestock was left?

If the people of the city were forcibly taken away, who would have the means to take away hundreds of thousands of people in an instant, without missing a single one?

Seven days have passed, according to Xuanying, the villages and towns near Jinyun City do not know what happened, and there has been no news about Jinyun City in other places for the first time.

And when Yuxu Mountain and the Emperor of Chu knew about this, it was the third day after the city was empty.

Looking at Jinyun City, which was bleak and depressed in the bustling spring, Shao Heng only felt that the slightly cold breeze seemed to invade his body, and the blood around his body was slightly cold.

As if lifted by a fresh breeze, Shao Heng descended from the city and walked slowly on the streets he had stepped on a few days ago.

The curtains of the shops on both sides of the road flipped to reveal the darkness inside, and the flags of the liquor vendors on the street flew in the wind, and the bottles were shattered.

When Shao Heng passed by, he picked up one of the intact wine bottles and sniffed it gently, and there was still a lingering aroma of wine.

These bottles, each scattered around the seats of the restaurant, suddenly fell from the sky while they were still in the hands of the guests.

The bottle was originally on the table, but the bottle was toppled over, and the wine had disappeared naturally in the sunlight after it flowed out, leaving only a few wine stains.

The wine around is slightly drunk, and I don't know how much it has broken.

Shao Heng took a few steps back and continued to walk forward, and sure enough, everything was as Xuanying said, the entire Jinyun City had no life, and any living things disappeared.

Suddenly, a gust of wind came from a distance along the street, and in front of him was the most prosperous area of Jinyun City.

Shao Heng paused, stopped, and surprise flashed in his eyes: the wind just now hit, and he clearly smelled a trace of blood in the air!

Shao Heng summoned the Heavenly Machine Sword, held it in his right hand, and his divine sense spread out to a radius of 100 meters, but there was still nothing.

He quickened his pace and walked in the direction where the bloody breath had come from.

There was still no trace on Zhaorui Street, which was once the most prosperous and endless, and Shao Heng couldn't find the source of the blood in the air when he looked at it.

However, since Shao Heng was suspicious, he naturally would not let go of the fishy smell in the air, and walked back and forth on the street three times, and there was only a little damage to things, as if it was a vague scene, but still no corpse or bloodstain was found.

Shao Heng stood in the middle of the street, his eyes flashing.

The smell of blood was not noticed at first, but at this time he always had a faint smell under his nose, coming from the south and from the north, as if it was far away, and as if it was beside him.

Shao Heng lowered his head and pondered for a while, then looked up at his side, coincidentally, it was the Yunlai Pavilion that he had worked so hard to maneuver!

Shao Heng stepped into the pavilion, and the Yunlai Pavilion was also empty.

Including the heavily guarded cabinet, and the secret passages that lead to the outside of the city.

Shao Heng was really surprised at this time.

The change in Jinyun City must be related to this Yunlai Pavilion, but Yunlai Pavilion itself is in the same situation as Jinyun City, and there is no trace of destruction, which is very strange.

Shao Heng decided to inspect all the Yunlai Pavilion, and found that all the previous prohibitions had been invalidated, and the treasure house containing cherished pills, materials, and magic weapons was easily entered by Shao Heng.

However, Shao Heng found something different in the end.

All the documents in some of the rooms were destroyed, and all that was left behind were some account books operated by Yunlai Pavilion.

Shao Heng thought to himself: "There is nothing strange about these account books for the time being, but maybe Tianshu can get some clues from them. ”

So he put the books and the rest of the paperwork away so that he could check them later.

As for the extraordinarily valuable auction items in Yunlai Pavilion, Shao Heng glanced at them and did not touch any of them.

Since Cao Mo had already made up his mind about Yunlai Pavilion before, he wanted to come to Yuxu Mountain and there were people who knew about it, if he took these things without permission, he was afraid that he would attract the attention of Yuxu Mountain.

Shao Heng checked the inside and outside of the Yunlai Pavilion, and after making sure that there was no other harvest, he walked to the dilapidated small building where he had obtained the memorable beads before.

The small building is still dilapidated and depressed, but Jinyun City is not much better now.

Shao Heng pushed the door in, disappointed in his heart: "I thought that maybe there were some clues here, but it seems that it was a trip in vain." ”

Thinking of this, Shao Heng wanted to leave, but when he left, he felt that something was wrong, and he turned back.

Shao Heng looked at the room carefully, and always felt that this place was a little different from before, but he couldn't say it.

When he walked to the shrine, he realized that there was something different: the incense burner that smelled of strange smell had been extinguished, and the statue enshrined inside had been torn apart.

Shao Heng frowned, he didn't understand the connection between the shattered idol and the matter of Jinyun City, thought about it, stretched out his hand to put the fragment of the idol into the Naxu Ring, and decided to go back to the sect to check one or two more.

Seeing that there was nothing else here, Shao Heng followed the direction he had come in and returned to the lobby of Yunlai Pavilion.

Shao Heng looked around, sighed slightly, and was about to walk out of the door, but suddenly froze and looked at a corner in the lobby in disbelief.

In that corner is a row of luxurious chairs, which are used by dignitaries to relax.

There was nothing on the chairs, only some dusty stuff remaining.

Shao Heng walked slowly by, and for some reason his hand holding the sword trembled a little.

He stood in front of a chair and watched the dust on the chair for a long, long time.

Suddenly, Shao Heng's gaze swept through the lobby one by one, and the piles of slightly blackened and reddish dust, like giant hands one after another, grabbed his throat one after another, and he couldn't make a sound anymore.

Shao Heng didn't dare to think about it, but he had to think about it.

The outline of the dust remaining on the chair is clearly a human figure!

Shao Heng staggered a step, walked to the street, and looked around blankly: Are the countless "dust" that fluttered away with the wind all the ashes of hundreds of thousands of people in Jinyun City? !

I don't know if it was Shao Heng's psychological effect or something else, a strong wind suddenly broke out in Jinyun City, making a whistling sound like a whimper, as if the souls had been wronged and all ghosts were howling, telling the tragedy under this shocking change.

In the 76,360th year of the Taiyi Dynasty of Shenzhou, Jinyun City, the hub of Great Chu, suddenly emptied, and hundreds of thousands of animals in it, including the city lord Cao Mo, were all turned into dust, and no one survived.

ps: I didn't think I would use the year, so I didn't set it before. It turns out that for the convenience of the subsequent narrative, it is necessary to add: before the catastrophe of more than 76,000 years, it was collectively referred to as the "Taigu Age", and after that, it was collectively referred to as the "Taiyi Age".
