Volume 1: Chang'an Night Change Forty-five: The sword leaves Chang'an
Li Qinglian raised the sword, put it in the palm of her hand and cut it gently, and the blood slowly flowed down the sword body, gathering at the tip of the sword and never dripping.
The blood balls gathered the size of a soybean and detached from the sword, floating on his chest. He held his sword and stabbed at the blood ball, only to see the blood ball explode instantly, turning into countless blood lotuses and floating towards the demon seed.
The place where the blood lotus passed through was destroyed before it bloomed, and it was reduced to ashes like a fire.
The demon seed raised his hand, and the huge thorny arrows flew down all over the sky, but when they touched the blood lotus, they were all shattered into slag.
"Qinglian Sword Intent, how can it be a Red Lotus?"
By the time the demon seed reacted, the Red Lotus Sword Intent had already surrounded it. The seemingly beautiful and harmless red lotus, in fact, each one was made of fierce sword intent, and the huge demon seed body was destroyed and crushed little by little under the continuous approach of the red lotus sword intent.
The beautiful body has become dilapidated in an instant.
In the end, the red lotuses condensed together and turned into a huge red sword intent, directly piercing the body of the demon seed.
It ceased to move, and its huge body disappeared little by little as if it had accumulated wind and sand. The surrounding flowers also withered in an instant, and disappeared without a trace.
"Did you succeed?"
Looking at the open star gate, Di Renjie and the others couldn't help but hold their breath, and the silence around them could even hear a needle dropping.
Looking at the people who came out, Shangguan Wan'er breathed a heavy sigh of relief, and knelt directly on the ground and whimpered.
Li Xin was stunned for an instant, his expression changed from apprehension to sluggishness to ecstasy, he directly threw down the blunt sword and rushed over.
Di Renjie shrugged his shoulders, showed a rare smile, and gave him a thumbs up.
Outside the building, everyone stared at the Star Picking Tower. Seeing the red light in the sky disappear and the star gate reopened, the people of Chang'an and even the whole world were excited at the moment.
"It's the stargate, the stargate is open!"
"The Star Picking Building is still there, we won!"
"No need to die, we don't have to die, Chang'an is fine, Da Zhou is fine!"
"Long live Chang'an, long live Da Zhou!"
For a while, everyone was excited, whether it was men, women and children, good people and bad people, loose cultivators or Tianyu Guards, and the shadow guards all hugged each other tightly. From this moment on, it is the victory of Chang'an, the victory of the Great Zhou, and the victory of mankind.
The star tower is here, and Chang'an is there!
In the palace, seeing the scene on the star-picking tower and looking at the slowly opening star gate, the prime minister shed one of the few tears in his life and knelt in front of the Fengluan Palace.
The empress stood on the steps, looked down at him kneeling below, and said, "Eldest Sun Wuji, do you know why you always lose? Chang'an is your life, and it is something you are willing to protect with your life. But it's useless to me, I want not just Chang'an, not just Da Zhou, but ...... The whole world!"
The empress was gone, just as she spoke, without the slightest hesitation.
Cheng Yanjin walked over and squatted next to the prime minister, only to see him raise his head and look in the direction of the Star Picking Tower, and seemed to be looking at the departing figure of the empress.
"Am I always a fool in her eyes?"
Cheng Yanjin patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's not just you, everyone is the same in her eyes." The most inferior thing about you is that she is a king, and you can only be a minister!"
"So all my previous thoughts were just children's plays!"
Suddenly, he burst into tears and laughed, and his whole body looked much older.
"It's old, it's still old, it's time to let go!"
In front of the Star Picking Tower, Li Xin and the others ran to Li Qinglian's side excitedly.
"You ......" Di Renjie was about to speak, but he threw the other party away. He hurriedly caught it and looked at it, this was Cheng Yaoxue.
"Your woman, take care!"
This sentence seems to be bland, but the faces of those who hear it are different.
"What my woman, she is my subordinate!" Seeing that Shangguan Wan'er's face beside him was not quite right, Di Renjie hurriedly explained.
Li Qinglian looked at him inexplicably, "Isn't your subordinate your person, she's a woman, so it's not normal for her to be your woman?
"No, you're right!" for fear that Li Qinglian would say something misleading, Di Renjie was convinced.
Li Xin on the side smiled and said nothing, quietly watching the battle of words between the three of them.
"It's over!"
"It's over, of course it's over!"
Looking at the faintly red light in the sky, Li Qinglian stretched her waist and let out a long breath.
Before dawn, Chang'an had already begun a large-scale cleaning campaign.
Sky Feather Guard, Shadow Guard...... and so on, all of them were dispatched to begin to renovate the order and appearance of Chang'an.
First of all, there are more than 100,000 monks, and the plan is to slaughter them all, so as to deter those with bad intentions inside and outside the Great Zhou. But thinking that Chang'an had just experienced a catastrophe, the slaughter again would only make the soldiers and the people more uneasy. Counting the casualties in Chang'an, the scattered cultivators did not actually do much damage to Chang'an.
In the end, the empress decided to send these hundreds of thousands of monks to the Great Wall to resist the demon seeds.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Hearing this news, the scattered cultivators knelt down one after another to thank them, and the ignorant little casual cultivators were also forcibly dragged to kneel by the old man.
Looking at the smiling old man, Xiao Sanxiu asked puzzledly: "We have all lost here, and we have to be matched to the Great Wall of the Frontier, why are you still smiling." ”
"It's not just me, everybody's laughing!" corrected the old man.
Xiao Sanxiu looked around suspiciously, and only then did he notice that everyone around him was laughing at this time, and each one laughing was happier than the other. Not only the loose cultivators, but also the Heavenly Feather Guards who were in custody.
"Why? No one resisted?"
"Why resist, it's better to decide than to be killed and assigned to protect the Great Wall. Besides, do you really think that we can fight these days, the Empress has always been decisive in killing, and before that, all of us were prepared to die regardless of whether we won or lost. Now that I've survived, I've experienced a major event that others can't experience in a lifetime, and I've seen it all with my own eyes. Young man, you don't understand it now, but when you get there, you will understand how lucky you used to be!"
With the morning sun illuminating Chang'an, a long dragon team walked out of the city gate under the supervision of Tianyuwei and walked in the direction of the distant sun.
On the top of the green forest mountain, the woman stood there looking in the direction of Chang'an City, with mixed emotions in her eyes.
"What are you looking at? I regret it, I have long warned you to be careful, the calamity that God has given you is not so simple. Xu Fu appeared behind her with a rabbit in his arms.
Ye Zi sighed and said, "You say, is this God's punishment for me?"
Xu Fu pursed the corners of his lips and said helplessly: "Then I have to ask you! If you still regret it, then this is the punishment." ”
"Regret!" she glanced at Chang'an deeply, as if she wanted to remember it forever.
Then she turned around, sword in hand, and left with Xu Fu in hand.
