Chapter 690: Night Begins
With Jiang Liu taking the lead, the progress of the project has been significantly faster than before. But time passed faster, when Lin Bai and the others came back from the General Avenue Villa, it was already noon, and in an afternoon, it was really not a simple matter to arrange the general layout of the Shengqi Building according to Lin Bai's requirements.
But such an extremely difficult thing was really done in an afternoon! If it weren't for the fact that there were too many things involved in this matter, the speed of the renovation of the Shengqi Building could be recorded in the history of Chinese architecture, and even the Guinness World Records could be declared and tried.
The sunset was dusk, and under the illumination of the last few rays of yellow sunlight, the already rudimentary Shengqilou seemed to be a huge beast, lying silently, nodding and thanking the people who stood on the construction site and looked at the fruits of their labor with satisfaction.
The obsidian is carved with bronze gluttonous patterns, and these lines have been improved after Lin Bai and the master carver discussed at the beginning, and the adsorption ability of each rune for yin and evil can be said to be several times stronger than before, and the lines look more and more simple and generous, as if they have some kind of magic power in one stroke.
As for the blue bricks and black tiles, as well as the mocking wind lying on the eaves of the roof, they are all meticulous to the extreme. Moreover, inside this building, under every piece of bluestone paved on the ground, there are pure yang talismans depicted by Chen Bai'an, which echo each other and blend the whole building into one, no matter how many yin and evil strikes, it can also be mixed into one.
Although these things have been made before, it is a miracle to be able to put them together seamlessly in one afternoon, without revealing the slightest trace!
"Uncle Jiang, now is not the time to delay, you hurry up and take them to the streets of the city to watch." Lin Bai wiped the sweat dripping from his forehead, rushed to Jiang Liu's side, and continued in a deep voice: "Remember, no matter what situation you encounter, don't be afraid, just remember one thing, these things are all fake and false!" ”
Although Lin Bai didn't explain, Jiang Liu could also understand the meaning of these words in his heart. And he also understood why Lin Bai didn't let people stay here in Shengqi Building, because what happened next would definitely be extremely weird, and even subvert these people's usual understanding of life, and only letting them leave was the most correct choice.
"Camp Commander Wang, take your brothers and go to the city with me! There's still something to do! After Jiang Liu nodded when he heard this, he waved at the group of soldiers and migrant workers who were sitting on the ground resting, and continued: "And the migrant workers, also join us, thank you for today's incident." When the business is done, I will set up a banquet and invite everyone to drink! ”
"Mayor Jiang, what you said is polite! The military and civilians are in good hands, not to mention the buddies of these troops, you are a big mayor, and it is our honor to work with us! The leader of the migrant workers smiled, and then said to the migrant workers: "Brothers, go, follow Mayor Jiang to the city, the matter is over, Mayor Jiang invites the big guy to drink!" ”
As soon as the words fell, these migrant workers and soldiers who were already tired like anything stood up and walked out in the direction of Mochou Lake after the river. These people don't ask for reasons, they are not afraid of hard work, and the reason why they are willing to follow the river is very simple: because this mayor regards them as brothers and relatives both in their external performance and between the lines, that's all!
As soon as everyone left the construction site of Shengqilou, the last ray of sunlight between heaven and earth completely dissipated, like a black cloth covering everything, leaving everything gray. I don't know why, today's Jinling City is particularly cold, and those neons that are usually extraordinarily beautiful in the night are a little more bleak tonight, which makes people's hearts feel cold.
"Old Chen, two senior brothers, Brother Shen, let's not stay still, hurry up and get ready to start work! It's already dark, and now there is still a little bit of yang energy left between heaven and earth, and maybe it can still suppress the situation, but if it comes to midnight, when the yang energy is gone, we haven't finished it yet, and Jinling City is afraid that it will be over! Seeing that the night was getting deeper and deeper, Lin Bai slapped his face and said in a deep voice to everyone.
No one said a word, they walked silently towards the building built on the original site of the Shengqi Building, they knew very well that the success or failure of this time was not only related to whether Lin Bai could break through the calamity brought by the Nine Purple Right Bi Peach Blossom Array, and not only whether this move could change the situation in Yanjing, but also related to the safety of millions of people in Jinling City, and might even affect the entire Huaxia.
……………………
In Jinling City, the clouds are dense, there is no star and moon in the sky, and the streets are completely devoid of the hustle and bustle of the past, only a bleak and clear picture, as if it is just a blink of an eye, this prosperous city has returned to the night of the bloody storm more than 70 years ago.
Although they didn't know what was going on, none of the people in Jinling City were willing to step out of their houses and wander the bleak streets as they had done before. And some old people who are already old are chattering at home, and there is fear flashing in their eyes from time to time, as if they remember some past events.
The group of sappers and migrant workers who followed the river on the street, after walking to the urban area, couldn't help but be dumbfounded, other book friends were reading:. The originally bustling street was unexpectedly empty at this time, and they felt that from the ground under their feet, there was a cold aura that invaded their bodies, and this feeling made people feel a chill from the bottom of their hearts.
"Mayor Jiang, this is wrong, why has the urban area become like this?" The head of the migrant worker who followed Jiang Liu couldn't help but clench his arms, and after looking around, he said with hesitation in his heart.
As soon as his words fell, the battalion commander Wang on the side couldn't help but speak, and said, "Yes, Mayor Jiang, our Jinling City is usually lively like something, why can't you even see a ghost shadow today?" ”
How could such a situation arise Jiang Liu knew very well that today was martial law in the whole city, and so many military and police officers were dispatched, who would dare to go to the street easily for ordinary people, and in the current atmosphere on the street, except for those who were bold, who would dare to come to the street to wander around easily.
Just as he was about to say a few words of inspiration, he heard a sudden scream from the other side of the street, the sound seemed to be torn vocal cords, although it was far away, but this miserable sound still made the hearts of everyone who heard the sound tighten, and they couldn't help but look in the direction where the sound came.
"Let's go, let's see what's going on!" Jiang Liu frowned, waved his hand at everyone, and led the way.
Seeing that Jiang Liu, who was the mayor, had taken the lead, where did these people around him dare to hesitate, and followed Jiang Liu's pace and rushed towards the place where the sound came from. There is the Qinhuai River running through Jinling City, and the location where the voice came from at this time is on the bank of a river, and when everyone walked, they saw a girl in white standing by the river.
Seeing someone coming, the girl who was standing in place rushed over, hugged Jiang Liu tightly, and cried with snot and tears: "There are ghosts in the river...... There's a female ghost in the river, and she was going to arrest me just now! ”
"Ghosts? What a joke, hurry up and let go of our chief, I'll go and see what's in the river! As soon as the girl's voice fell, a young man from the engineer battalion stepped forward and laughed.
As he spoke, the young man tore off the electric light from his waist and touched it lightly towards the riverside. As soon as he walked to the river, he felt a gust of wind rushing towards his face, and then looked at the dark river, as if there were countless things surging in the night, this strange feeling made him can't help but have a sense of retreat, and some regret his previous recklessness.
Although he had the intention of retreating in his heart, he thought that if he went back now, he would be seen as a coward, so this guy gritted his teeth and shone the flashlight into the river. This photo doesn't matter, but it almost scared his heart out of his throat!
This is still the same river as before, under the miserable white light of the flashlight, densely packed with shadows, and the face is even more hideous. He even felt that although he just glanced into the river and looked away, the terrifying scene in the river was deeply engraved in his mind, and he couldn't wave it out.
Mayor Jiang ...... This...... There are really ghosts in this river...... "The young man easily moved his lead-filled legs back to the side of the road, and then he turned pale and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
When Jiang Liu heard this, he finally understood the meaning of Lin Bai's words before, although he was shocked in his heart, he pretended to be hearty, waved his hand, and said indifferently: "Let's go, where are there any demons and monsters in this world, you must be dazzled, let's send this girl back first!" ”
Although the little young soldier was panicked in his heart, looking at Jiang Liu's eyes that could not be refused, he had to stubbornly follow everyone forward, but he secretly made a decision in his heart, that is, no matter what happened later, he would never be as reckless as he was just now, even if someone behind him held a gun against him, he would not take an extra step forward.
………………
The shore of Mochou Lake was extremely quiet, there were no insects and birds, but there were gusts of howling yin wind, and there were countless screams mixed with that yin wind, as if they were laughing at Lin Bai and the others in the original site of the Shengqi Building by the lake.
