Chapter 19: The Burning Demon
Shendu, the flames soar to the sky.
The demons were scorched by the ten thousand fires and turned into billowing black gas and floated into the air.
As powerful as Zhuqian, it is still prostrate on the ground at this moment, and the powerful coercion makes it unable to raise its head. Such a legendary demon beast has a very high spiritual intelligence, and at this moment of life and death crisis, they dare not stay in place, and desperately run to the river outside the imperial city.
The moat outside the imperial city of the Great Zhou Dynasty is three zhang deep, and the river water is drawn from Luoshui, which is bottomless and extremely turbulent.
Fire all over your body!
Zhu Gandan let out a low roar, the flames scorching its body, the intense pain and the coercion that followed, kept its head down at all times, and ran forward in a strange posture.
Shangyang Palace was hit by seedlings, and Zhu Qian bumped into a house along the way, and there were eunuchs and ladies running in panic everywhere.
Luoshui is not far from Shangyang Palace, and the distance is only a palace wall.
Zhu Qian flew over the palace wall and plunged into the Luoshui, a huge wave of water exploded, and Zhu Qian suddenly raised his head to the sky and roared.
The flames on it were not extinguished.
The fire of the Suzaku cannot be extinguished by water.
Zhu Qian banged on the ground frantically, roaring again and again, and its roar was heard outside the entire palace wall. Gradually, its voice turned into a wail, and its strength became weaker and weaker, and it could only lean against the river, gradually sinking to the bottom of the river.
The flame continued to burn on the water.
The guards panicked to stop the salvage from begin, and hundreds of people pulled the rope together to salvage a huge skeleton from the water.
The fire in the Shendu was missing for a full hour, and after that, everything was silent, and even Tongyuanfang, which was the farthest away from Suzaku Street, could smell a scorched smell.
All the monsters were destroyed, ten thousand demons were born, Suzaku appeared, and everyone in the Shendu looked around in horror, feeling for the first time that the city they had lived in for generations was so strange.
……
Tang Yun only felt that it was dark, and he had not rested since the first night. During the period, although there was drinking water, not a drop of rice was consumed. At the moment, I was sleepy and hungry in my body, and finally I couldn't hold on anymore.
He fell in front of the countless spirit tablets of the Demon Hunting Division, and at the moment when he sprinkled the blood on the ashes of the furnace, the fire candles in front of the three thousand spirit tablets around him were lit at the same time, shining brightly.
Tang Yun lay on the floor peacefully, the grimace ring on his hand stopped trembling, and he was finally able to sleep well.
Tang Yun dreamed of many people, many figures dangling in front of him, familiar and unfamiliar.
The endless wind and sand, the group of brothers of the wolf hunter guard, they desperately tugged at Tang Yun's collar and shouted his name.
"You fools, I'm going to God to enjoy the blessings, don't try to pull Lao Tzu back!" Tang Yun couldn't help but shout.
The group of people did not give up, still desperately tugging on Tang Yun's sleeves.
Tang Yun was furious, he wanted to break free of the person in front of him. Tang Yun violently pushed the person in front of him away, and suddenly felt that his face was a little familiar.
"Lord Tang, Lord Tang!"
The person in front of him shook Tang Yun frantically, making Tang Yun finally barely sober up.
The eye was a unicorn embroidered with silver thread, and then looked at the person's face, it turned out to be Jing Liang.
Jing Liang inquired all the way and met Ah Qiao and the eldest grandson Lingxiu in the imperial city, and then found this place.
"I went to the kitchen and cooked some hot porridge, hurry up and give him some to drink." The eldest grandson, Lingxiu, walked in with a bowl of hot porridge.
Jing Liang's hand was shaking all the time, and he couldn't hold the bowl steadily, and when he came, he helped the prison guard cut off the giant python, and the tiger's mouth in his hand had been cracked. The eldest grandson, Lingxiu, had no choice but to kneel in front of Tang Yun, blow the hot porridge in the spoon to warm, and put it into Tang Yun's mouth.
The nerves that had been hungry for a long time prompted Tang Yun to open his mouth and swallow the hot porridge.
Soon, Tang Yun snatched the bowl by himself and ate it all as if he were drinking water.
"Slow down, it's hot." The eldest grandson Lingxiu said worriedly.
Tang Yun returned the empty bowl to the eldest grandson Lingxiu, and at this moment, the heat entered his stomach and he regained some strength a little.
"Where's Ah Qiao?" Tang Yun looked around.
Jing Liang said: "Ah Qiao went to His Majesty to restore his life. ”
Tang Yun asked, "What's the situation outside?" ”
The eldest grandson Lingxiu gently took out a handkerchief and wiped the rice grains on the side of Tang Yun's stubble: "A fire fell from the sky, and all the monsters were burned to death, and now the generals of the guards are patrolling back and forth on the streets, looking for the undead demons." The Shendu Mansion and the Winter Official Yamen are helping to clean up the damaged mansion of the Shendu. ”
Hearing that the demons were all dead, Tang Yun finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"You are a hero of the Shendu, and Your Majesty will reward you heavily." Jing Liang squeezed out a smile.
As soon as the words fell, a figure rushed in from outside.
It's Xiao Qianqin.
Jing Liang hurriedly got up, hugged his fists and said, "I've seen Commander Xiao!" ”
Everyone knows that Ruoshui guards the nobles in the imperial city, but they don't know that the true leader of Ruoshui is the seemingly delicate inner appearance around the empress.
Xiao Qianqin saw that Tang Yun was fine, and the face that had been tense finally relaxed.
She didn't know what she was panicking about.
When Tang Yun was ordered to rush into the group of monsters, Xiao Qianqin's heart was beating so fast that it seemed that her whole heart was about to fly out.
Jing Liang noticed that the blood stains on Xiao Qianqin's body had not yet dried up, and the scabbard of the tiger head had some gaps, obviously just experienced a vicious battle.
Even Xiao Qianqin participated in the war, so you can imagine what happened to the empress after Tang Yun left.
Xiao Qianqin said: "Tang Yun, Your Majesty wants to see you." ”
The eldest grandson, Lingxiu, helped Tang Yun up and walked out of the yamen of the Demon Hunting Division together, and there were two more skeletons exuding scorched black gas in front of the courtyard. Several people rode horses to the Taiqian Palace.
……
At this moment, the holy car returned to Luan.
The empress sat on the dragon chair, listening to the officials below report on the situation in the Divine Capital City, and her eyebrows always had a trace of anger.
"Your Majesty, Tang Yun, the Demon Hunter Si, asks to see you!"
The official who was reporting was silent, and everyone turned to look at the young man who had walked to the top of the main hall. Everyone knows that he is the protagonist today.
Tang Yun's face was pale, today was the first time he had officially stood in front of this civil and military official.
He was still a little weak, but he still straightened his back.
King Yan and King Liang looked at each other a little strangely, just now, this person took a knife in his own hand and released their blood. They are the sons of Emperor Yang, and their natural blood is extremely pure.
"Chen Tang Yun, see Your Majesty." Tang Yun bowed.
"Tang Qing, let's be even, thanks to Tang Qing's help today, we can save thousands of people in the Divine Capital from the demon beast disaster. Come, give a seat! The empress said.
A eunuch brought the seat, and Tang Yun bowed again: "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”
Tang Yun sat down, and the empress asked straight to the point: "Can Tang Qing know the ins and outs of this matter?" ”
Everyone looked at Tang Yun, and he told the empress what had happened.
From the mountain temple to Huchailing, as well as Taoyuan Village, the period was thrilling and changeable, and the hundreds of officials who listened to it exclaimed again and again.
Tang Yun said: "The minister speculates that behind this demon fox, there must be someone manipulating. When the minister came, he asked the eldest grandson's daughter, and her arrow did not hit the vital point of the demon fox. You just need to interrogate carefully, and you will be able to ask something. ”
"Where is the demon fox, bring it up!" The empress shouted.
After a long time, Zuo Xiao Wei Lang, who was guarding the demon fox, ran to the main hall in a panic.
"Damn it, the demon fox, it's ...... It's gone! ”
