Chapter Twenty-Three: Demon Purgatory (Part II)
There are a lot of fields outside the city of Shendu, so in order to be able to see more and farther from the lookout outside the city gate, most of the woods outside the city have been cut down, leaving only these fields.
At this time of year, the fields have just been planted with wheat seedlings, and now they are only showing a little greenery.
Tang Yun stood on the lookout and looked into the distance.
The dark cloud swept over almost the entire field in its path, swallowing up all the green it saw. That black mist was not a dark cloud, but a demon group composed of countless locust demons, slaughtering towards the divine capital.
At this moment, everyone in the Demon Hunting Division was silent.
At the beginning, the demons caused chaos in the gods, and many people died, but in the end, Suzaku appeared to solve all the crises.
But now, the Suzaku has disappeared, and this time, it is necessary to rely on manpower to deal with those locust demons.
"These locust demons are bloodthirsty and extremely violent, and they must not be allowed to enter the Divine Capital."
Tang Yun glanced at it, except for Jing Liang and Eldest Sun Lingxiu, the rest of them were the Lieutenants of the Demon Hunting Division who were in charge of various areas of the Divine Capital.
The order was quickly given, and Tang Yun took a firm position. Let the people hide in the building first, and the Demon Hunter will set up an ambush in the city with the forbidden army to hunt and kill the locust demon, but everyone knows that this is just drinking to quench their thirst.
Look at the dark clouds sweeping across the sky, majestic, almost domineering. Tang Yun estimated that all the people in the entire Demon Hunting Division would go in, and there would not be even scum left.
Tang Yun asked, "Of the Jade Buddhas that were confiscated, are there any left?" ”
Jing Liang said: "The Shendu Mansion and we have collected a lot, and we have arranged a carriage to send it out of the city immediately." ”
Tang Yun waved his hand: "Don't worry, send those carriages to Dingding Gate!" ”
……
On Suzaku Street, there is chaos at the moment.
Today coincides with the rest of the day, and several first- and second-class officials of the DPRK and the central government were also present. Although they were not wearing official uniforms, there were quite a few attendants standing beside them.
"Lu Pengyuan, what are you doing?" An official scolded him that he was Li Wancheng, the right minister of Wenchang Taiwan, and he was higher than Lu Pengyuan in terms of rank and status.
Lu Pengyuan has good eyesight, in fact, he found Li Wancheng as soon as possible, but Lu Pengyuan didn't go to sue. Now that the situation is urgent, compared to the big thing of losing your head, offending one person is offending.
Lu Pengyuan threw the horsewhip in the air and exploded: "Everyone, go home quickly, otherwise Hugh blames General Ben for being ruthless!" ”
"Lu Pengyuan, you dare!" Li Wancheng blushed and scolded loudly.
Speaking of which, this Li Wancheng originally did not believe in Buddhism. But since Li Wancheng's daughter, a young and sick child who almost died, was cured in Longchen Temple, he attributed all this to the gods and Buddhas in the sky, burning incense and praying for blessings every day, and did not dare to slack off.
Li Wancheng already had a bad impression of some arrogant and domineering generals in the military, but now when he saw Lu Pengyuan lose his honor in front of the Buddha, he was furious: "Lu Pengyuan, you rely on Your Majesty's favor and act recklessly!" What a big deal the land and water puja is, you have stirred it up! I must play, I will participate in your book, and condemn you to a great crime! ”
Lu Pengyuan was already furious in his heart, and when two angry people met, there was naturally no good result.
Lu Pengyuan whipped a horse whip on a guard beside Li Wancheng, and the guard screamed in pain and was directly knocked to the ground, wailing nonstop.
"Master Li, Ben Jiang has already said that everyone must go home, if you insist on not leaving, Ben Jiang can personally send someone to send you back!" Lu Pengyuan said coldly.
Li Wancheng trembled with anger, his fingers trembled and pointed at Lu Pengyuan, and he was about to scold, when he suddenly heard a loud buzzing sound behind him.
The voice was so close that the people of the entire city could hear it.
People first saw a dark cloud and didn't think much of it, after all, the weather is changeable at this time of year, and it is common for it to be sunny and cloudy for a while.
But at this moment, everyone could clearly see the countless wings and limbs in that dark cloud. And those buzzing sounds came from the dark clouds.
Someone sat on the ground and said in a trembling voice: "Demon ...... Youkai! ”
Even though a long time has passed, recalling the day when the demons were in turmoil, the fear of the people of Shendu City was once again ignited from the bottom of their hearts.
Screams came and went, some people tried to run home and began to squeeze desperately, some people were separated from their relatives and friends, shouting their names, and some people hid near the altar. There are so many people gathered in front of the altar today that chaos is inevitable.
This chaos is the shouts of countless people mixed together, and it is very noisy.
Li Wancheng's face was pale, his mouth opened, and he didn't speak again. There were too many people nearby, but Li Wancheng was surrounded by guards.
"Let's go, go home!" Li Wancheng took the opportunity to make a decision and kept silent about the stubbornness of the other party.
……
At the gate of the city, a lot of carriages have gathered.
Call!
A huge locust demon fell, these were flying locusts, and their huge claws grabbed the carriage below.
The front hooves of the horse leading the cart were raised, and the sound of the locusts made the horse feel heavy and uneasy.
Jing Liang lay in ambush behind a nearby stone, roared, and threw the iron chain in his hand directly, and the hook was heavily embedded in the locust demon's body, and a trace of blood floated out. Several soldiers of the Demon Hunting Division swarmed up, swords and axes fell, and the locust demon was cut to pieces.
In the distance, a group of locust demons rushed towards the area.
The jade Buddha in the carriage was indeed able to have a fatal attraction to this locust.
Tang Yun raised his horsewhip and shouted loudly: "Rush! ”
There were four wagons in total.
In fact, the Jade Buddha was only filled with a carriage.
Tang Yun was divided into four parts and loaded on four carriages, and the rest were driven by the Captain of the Monster Hunting Division, leaving the pipeline and galloping away in different directions.
Tang Yun raised his horsewhip vigorously, and behind the carriage, countless locust demons hissed again and again.
They were going to use a carriage to lure the locust demon away from the direction of the Divine Capital, and it turned out that this still worked!
Those locust demons who had originally rushed towards the Divine Capital suddenly turned around and headed towards Tang Yun.
The rest of the locust demons were also separated, as if someone had slashed a few times at the dark clouds with a knife, and the dark clouds were divided into several directions and headed in the direction the carriage left.
The speed of the locusts is very fast, and it looks like it is about to transfer the locust demon away from the divine capital.
Even though Tang Yun was still in danger at the moment, he was still relieved.
……
Suzaku Street, the Great Altar.
Most of the people in front of him have dispersed, and there are still some pious people standing in front of the altar, because of the orders of the national teacher, the soldiers of the right Xiaowei do not dare to move.
"National Teacher, please suspend the puja as well. Now that the demons are coming, the last will send someone to escort the national teacher back. Lu Pengyuan said respectfully.
Xuan Tan was still sitting on the Dharma platform, smiling: "General Lu wants to protect all living beings from the invasion of monsters, and the poor monk naturally has nothing to say. It's just that the poor monk has vowed to support the gods and Buddhas of the eight directions, and if this oath is not made, the poor monk will not go back. ”
In the distance, the dark clouds were gone.
It seems that the crisis has been solved.
No one noticed that a monk sitting behind the altar took out a knife from his broad robe and stabbed it into his wrist.
