Out of the palace gate, get into the carriage, before I have time to speak, suddenly feel a violent shaking of the carriage, the horse neighed, frenzied and stomped the hooves, Xiaohong and I were swayed in the carriage, barely grasped the window, lifted the curtain, saw several iron guards are working together to tighten the restless horses, the ground is still shaking, the iron guards are a little unstable.

"What's going on?" I said loudly.

"Young lady, it seems to be an earthquake!" Yun Qian said immediately.

Earthquake? I immediately said, "Quickly take refuge in the open area of the square, avoid those high pillars, and stay away." ”

The shaking was horizontally, indicating that it was far away from the center of the epicenter, there were not so many high-rise buildings in ancient times, and in this open pilgrimage court, as long as it was far away from those tall pillars, it would not be hit by them falling down, so it was relatively safe.

However, the strange thing is that since the founding of the capital of Tiancao Kingdom, there has never been an earthquake in Jingshi, so how could there be a sudden earthquake? Fortunately, the sudden earthquake did not shake too strongly, and it did not last long, until the ground stopped shaking. I immediately said to Xiaohong: "Xiaohong, you go back to your home and tell your grandfather, ask him to raise money and send it to the household department, which is used to level the price of grain and salt in the south, and I will show him the details when I go home." ”

"Isn't my sister going back?" Xiaohong was stunned. I shook my head: "I want to rush to the Taimiao immediately, and I don't have time to go back to the house to delay." "And I don't know what danger there is in Taimiao, I have the black dragon jade to protect me, the iron guard has martial arts, and the little red hand has no power to restrain the chicken, so it's better to take her away."

Seeing that my expression was serious, Xiaohong didn't dare to ask again, so I turned my head and said, "Yun Qian, go to Taimiao." ”

I don't know if the emperor has activated the Shending to save the silent clouds, I am very worried that Maha will take advantage of the chaos and take advantage of the chaos to make a move before I arrive, so that Mr. Fu's hard work will be in vain. After the earthquake, the streets of Jingshi were filled with panicked people, although it was only a slight earthquake, and everyone's houses were stable as rocks, and there was no damage, but for the people of Jingshi, who had never experienced an earthquake, it was enough to make them panic. The crowd gathered, all asking what was the cause of the Great Earthquake's anger? I looked at the panicked and ignorant expressions of the people outside the car window, and my heart tightened, at this time, if someone with a heart took the opportunity to spread a little unfavorable rumor, the entire Jingshi would be in chaos.

However, I didn't have time to pay attention to these, the matter on the side of the temple was much more urgent than here, there were too many people on the street, the carriage could not move quickly, and finally drove out of the city, Yun Qian immediately galloped on the official road, I was worried, and kept opening the curtains to see where I went, but I saw that the situation on the outskirts of the city was much worse than in the city, most of the farmhouses in the fields were adobe mud houses, the earthquake just now, so that many peasant houses were more or less damaged, some houses even collapsed completely, and some people gathered in front of the houses to cry bitterly, so it was not miserable.

The carriage galloped for nearly an hour, and gradually, entering the scope of the Taimiao, the dwellings were long gone, the road was widened, and the road was planted with tall pine and cypress plants on both sides. Gallop a little more, some tall and solemn stone people and stone horses gradually appear on both sides of the road, and then go for a while, you should arrive at the first archway of the temple. The further I went, the more gloomy the sky outside the car window became, and the sky was filled with dark clouds, as if a storm was coming, and a fierce cold wind blew for no reason, sweeping the fallen leaves on the ground and flying all over the sky.

The wind and sand blew in my face, and the curtain was swept straight into the carriage by the wind, I lowered the curtain, grabbed the curtain that hit my face, and pulled it aside, and tied it with a hook, revealing the scenery in front of me. The cold wind poured straight into the carriage, and Yun Qian turned around and said, "Young lady, you ......"

"I'm fine, keep going!" I ignored my windswept hair and said loudly. The black dragon jade on his neck was hot and cold. I was taken aback, and when I looked down, I saw that the black qi that had been lingering on the black dragon jade suddenly became stronger. The black gas is like ice, and the black jade is as hot as a flint in the black gas, my heart tightened, and I raised my voice: "Yun Qian, something may not be right ahead, everyone be careful!" ”

"Yes! Young lady! The guards replied in unison outside. The outline of the first archway of the temple can be faintly seen in front of you, the air is mixed with moisture, and the cold wind is wrapped in a fishy smell to us, I was taken aback, this smell, this disgusting smell, too much like the smell of insect corpses in the mass grave in the eastern suburbs last night. The horses began to get restless, and the black dragon jade was also restless on my neck, and I took a breath, and the fishy smell was so strong that I almost vomited it out. I covered my mouth and nose, could it be that Maha has already come? Anxious, I shouted, "Faster!" ”

But the horses refused to obey, and stopped and neighed restlessly in place, and Yun Qian whipped fiercely, and the horses just refused to move forward, and even the horses under the Iron Guard began to be restless and refused to rush forward. The intuition of animals is the most sensitive, and there must be something strange ahead, so I immediately decided: "Get off the horse, let's go over!" ”

Yun Qian helped me out of the car, and the unridden horses neighed and retreated in horror, and we had no intention of caring about the frightened horses, and galloped forward against the strong wind. The smell of fish is getting stronger and stronger, the weather ahead is getting darker and darker, the heavy dark clouds are so low that they seem to be pressing directly above our heads, and the torii in front of us is getting closer and closer, towering above the tall stone steps, as if towering into the clouds. Yun Qian, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped: "Young lady, look at ......"

I looked forward and took a hard breath. What I saw in front of me was the Shura Hell I saw last night? Even the frenzied cold wind just now quieted down here, turning into a slight gust of yin wind. A few steps ahead, all kinds of poisonous insects are densely spread all over the ground, and just by looking at it, goosebumps will burst out all over the back in an instant. It's just that, unlike yesterday, among those ruined insect corpses, there are still many corpses of forbidden soldiers in the east and west, and there are still many live poisonous insects between the insect corpses and the human corpses: colorful poisonous snakes swim in it, some are tangled together in piles and piles, and some are standing tall and swallowing red snake letters; The scorpion, with its high tail spines, crawled swiftly on the corpse of its companion; Fat, fat poisonous spiders are bursting out of the corpses of the Forbidden Army; The thick centipede crawled through the nostrils of the dead Praetorian and out of the ears again...... "Oh my God! I was so frightened that I took a few steps backwards, and I was so frightened and frightened by the strange scene in front of me that even the faces of several of the guards turned pale. If there were only a few poisonous insects, they might be able to deal with it, but there were thousands of poisonous insects here, and there was no place to stay, who could pass through here and enter the Taimiao through layers of passes?

An ugly toad jumped at my feet and jumped at me, spewing snow-white poison from the abscesses on my back. "Young lady, be careful!" Yun Qian pulled his sword and wanted to pick away the poison, but before the sword fell on it, the poison bounced out as if it had hit something, and with a "boom-" sound, it fell to the ground, turned up its snow-white belly, and instantly became [***].

We were all taken aback, and then we realized that the black dragon jade on my neck, at some point, was slowly flowing with a black gas, which seemed to be extremely heavy, flowing to the ground like water, and then rising into the air like smoke, forming a pale black barrier in front of us. The movement here seemed to disturb the poisons that were still alive in the Shura field, and all the poisonous insects stopped moving, and I seemed to be able to feel the eyes of those poisons, all of which fell on me coldly like arrows.

I secretly screamed badly, alarming these inferior creatures, and it was no longer possible to even sneak away. Several of the iron guards were also facing the enemy, all of them drew their swords, and stared intently at the motionless poisonous insects in front of them, waiting for the battle. The black barrier in front of him flowed like water and smoke in midair, and seemed to flow into a large, vague circular pattern, with five looming clouds of unknown things. After quietly "staring" at us for a long time, the poisonous insects suddenly began to move, but instead of swarming towards us, they began to retreat as if they had seen ghosts. I was taken aback, and I looked at the guards thoughtfully, looking at the black qi barrier in front of me, could it be that this thing frightened them? I bit my lip and tentatively took a step forward. The black fog screen in front of it also pushed forward, as if it was driven by the breeze, and the pattern was strangely twisted, but it was this faint bounce that made the poisons in front of them like crazy, desperately retreating and squeezing back. My heart lit up, could it be that these poisonous insects are afraid of this strange thing? I emboldened myself and took another step forward. The dark curtain floated forward two more steps, and the poisonous insects were like a flood at a low tide, scrambling to be the first, and the car was turning on the ground and desperately retreating, lest they run a step slower, and in an instant, they retreated quietly. There are only dead people and dead poisonous insects left on the ground, and there are fewer living creatures, and those dead poisonous insects are not as many as they were seen in the mass grave last night, at least part of the ground is exposed, and it is barely possible for pedestrians.

If it weren't for the protection of the black dragon and jade, I'm afraid that I and a few iron guards would have to die here tonight. I secretly breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the black mist barrier in front of me, but I didn't know if it was this jade that was protecting me, or the resentment on the jade? I looked at the black mist in front of me, but I saw that its pattern became clearer, and the five unclear black fog in the circle gradually opened up, forming a clear totem with a hollow pattern, and the five shapes of the hollow were snakes, scorpions, centipedes, toads and spiders. In the gloomy weather, the huge black fog totem floated with the gloomy wind, which was originally a frightening and extremely strange picture, but it made my frightened heart feel a little calm.
