Chapter 22: Demon Purgatory (I)
"If you say that all hearts are non-minds, they are called hearts."
The monk's eyes were peaceful, and his words were not too loud, but the surroundings were quiet, so the voice had some echoes and spread around.
The locust demon floated in the distance, and no one noticed it, and the believers who were reciting the scriptures only felt that there was a dark cloud floating and the weather was more gloomy, and they did not feel that there was anything wrong.
The ring on Tang Yun's hand was trembling wildly at the moment, his ghost eyes were red, and the harsh voice could be heard clearly when he got closer.
There are youkai approaching, and there are quite a few of them!
Tang Yun knew that the time for himself was running out, and now half of the people in the Shendu were estimated to be on the Vermilion Bird Long Street, not only that, but the Vermilion Bird Long Street was directly connected to the Imperial City, and the two squares of Guande Xiuwen were only a few miles away from the Imperial City.
This is the capital of a country, and the last ten thousand demon disasters have already spent a lot of energy to appease the emotions of the people.
Call!
There were many birds flying in the sky, as if they were a sign before the catastrophe, and these creatures were very sensitive to the premonition of danger and rushed to flee the place.
Tang Yun took a deep breath, such a sign showed that a large number of monsters were approaching.
Tang Yun said: "General, call the shots, now that the demons are approaching, what we do is to minimize the loss as much as possible!" ”
Lu Pengyuan's face was also pale, he knew very well what kind of situation this was, the two of them were ordered to investigate the matter, once the gods were in danger, the blame would definitely fall on them.
Lu Pengyuan clenched his fists and sighed in his heart, every time it seemed that the credit should be held in his hands, but it was abandoned for many reasons. Although he was irritable, Lu Pengyuan had been in a high position for many years after all, and his mood quickly stabilized.
He sent an arrow wrapped around his waist into the air, and the right guard soldiers who were ambushing in various parts of the divine capital quickly reacted. They worked in teams of 10 people and shuttled through the streets and alleys to stop the people who would later participate in the water and land puja.
The people had come with a pious heart, but at the intersection they were stopped by soldiers with swords and fierce faces. When I asked them, they were told that the court had sealed off the place, and no one was allowed to enter.
The water and land puja is a major event, and the right guard is blocking the progress of the puja without authorization. After doing this, Lu Pengyuan's whole body was almost paralyzed on the ground. No matter what happens, the Empress's rebuke is inevitable.
"Youxiao Wei is still outside, and he hasn't entered the puja center. Tang Yun, are you sure this will be useful? Lu Pengyuan still had the last glimmer of hope in his heart.
Tang Yun was about to speak, when suddenly a rumbling sound came from the direction of Dingding Gate. Like a thunderclap on the ground, not only Tang Yun and Lu Pengyuan, but even the pedestrians on the road were looking in that direction.
There was a wall in front of the two people blocking their view, and now they had to run to the street. As soon as I walked into the street, I saw a "dark cloud" flying in the distance.
There was a faint buzzing sound in that dark cloud, and this sound was so loud that the entire Divine Capital City could hear it clearly.
There was a lot of discussion, but the dark cloud was too big to see inside.
Tang Yun's heart was beating wildly, he suddenly pulled the reins, flew on the horse, and shouted: "Quick, let's go to the water and land puja, send your people, and let the people all disperse!" ”
Seeing that Lu Pengyuan was still hesitating, Tang Yun shouted: "If you really want to cause large-scale casualties, even if Your Majesty wants to spare our lives, you have to give an explanation to the world!" ”
A flash of fear flashed in Lu Pengyuan's eyes.
Others don't know, but His Majesty today will be able to do it. When the Great Zhou Dynasty was first established, how many royal families of the previous dynasties were arrested and imprisoned, and there were no corpses.
Now, no credit is important. Lu Pengyuan also rode on his horse and put the last red arrow in his quiver into the sky.
The arrow was like a meteor emitting flames, piercing into the blue sky in an instant, but it did not disappear instantly, but dragged a long tail and exploded at the end.
This is the most severe signal in the army, and the sergeants who see this signal must be here as soon as possible.
Boom Boom!
Soon, groups of soldiers rushed out of the streets and alleys, lined up, wearing armor and holding spears, and stood murderously in the street.
"General Chuanben ordered, immediately drive all the people of Suzaku Long Street away, and no one is allowed to stay!" Lu Pengyuan shouted loudly.
The sergeants were a little shocked when they heard the news, and they naturally knew what day it was. How could a general give such an order for such a major event as a water and land puja?
A lieutenant said boldly: "General, today's national teacher personally preached the Fa, I'm afraid it's not appropriate for us to do this." ”
Call!
A horsewhip slammed into the lieutenant's face, and a deep blood streak suddenly appeared on the lieutenant's face.
Lu Pengyuan roared angrily: "Don't hurry up to Lao Tzu, if that group of monsters comes, the right Xiaowei will all die!" ”
Youkai are coming!
Du Wei was shocked in his heart, and he didn't care about his still bleeding face, so he quickly climbed onto his horse and shouted: "Shield Array, advance!" ”
Some sturdy sergeants were sent to the front of the battle column, they put away their swords, and in both hands they held a pair of huge shields that were almost a man high, forming a three-row shield formation, and marched forward with heavy steps.
The footsteps were clearly audible, and some of the curious people were a little flustered when they saw the group of murderous soldiers coming towards them.
"The people shall hurry home and shall not gather!" The Lieutenant shouted.
However, his voice was quickly drowned out by chaos.
The originally quiet water and land puja suddenly became very chaotic, there were so many people here, almost crowded, there was no spare space. Originally, everyone was standing in front of the altar, and it was better to be in order.
The right guard was driving the crowd almost rudely in a brutal manner, and all the crowd was driven to the sides.
"Don't stay on the streets, go home!" The Lieutenant shouted again.
What happened here was chaos, and it gradually attracted the attention of the big altar, and the national teacher and a few monks opened their eyes and glanced in this direction.
"Senior Brother Xuan Tan, what happened?" The monk suddenly stopped preaching and asked.
The rest of the monks all stopped chanting, chanting in front of the gods and Buddhas required full attention, and the chaos below had completely attracted their minds to the past, and they had no intention of continuing at this moment.
Xuan Tan's face remained unchanged, as if he was not angry, but said, "Senior brother, please wait, I will send someone to investigate." ”
At this moment, Tang Yun had already arrived in front of the Dingding Gate.
accompanied by Jing Liang, eldest grandson Lingxiu and other people from the Demon Hunting Division.
"The locust demon still has three miles to go, and the guards outside have begun to retreat, my lord, let's prepare early." Jing Liang said.
