[10. The Light of the Night Before (I)]

- Chang'an

[One from the madness to China, the world is dark and dark. (Note 1)

Under the cover of the goddess curtain, the divine army fights to the death against the monsters of the Xuan World!

"There are so many monsters, is this the handiwork of Yan Yingyuan!"

"If you continue like this, you won't be able to keep Chang'an......" Launched a thunder talisman to smash the monsters all over the street, He Yanfang looked up at the sky covered by dark clouds with cold eyes.

At a glance, the rebels on the street are arresting former officials, the scene is chaotic and ferocious, and in the air, countless black ‖ monsters are fighting bloody battles with the soldiers of the God Army, the scene is tragic and terrifying.

[The women in the north are salty together, and the outdoors is like a beast. Boom and gangsters moved, and the thunder of thousands of horses surged from the ground. 】

He Yanfang felt the depression that enveloped his body and mind, he kicked and shattered the skull of the demon dragon in front of him, and the silver spear immediately pierced the front paw of the other demonic beast and threw it at a basilisk behind him, and the tip of the spear pierced through the two monsters with a force, and dirty blood gushed out along the tip of the spear that was pulled out.

It's not enough. He returned his gun, and the three-headed alien monster that pounced behind him let out a mournful scream.

"It's useless to die any of these monsters...... he muttered to himself, but the silver spear in his hand didn't pause in the slightest, and the silver light stabbed like a storm, bringing up a mist of blood.

A little...... I kind of want to have a good talk with that boy named Tono Sheng. He smiled bitterly in his heart, thinking that only the enemy Chisters could help, was this considered a rebellious heart......

"Staff Officer He. Behind him, there was a gentle voice from the spring god, but the demonic beast that suddenly burst into countless white flowers from the mouth and nose in front of him proved the anger in the heart of the spring god.

"Spring God. He ignored the monsters that had turned into flowers and rain scattered all over the ground in front of him, and turned to look at the young man in the spring robe.

"Even you are feeling the pressure, aren't you?" Jumang's divine power shook, and the monsters flying above turned into white flowers and scattered, "The king ...... must solve them"

"Is it impossible to have reinforcements?" He Yanfang asked him.

He smiled wryly and looked up at the silent cold clouds among the flying white flowers: "Well, the civil strife continues, don't expect it......"

[The sun is cold and white, and God is speechless and empty. 】

The whip of the wind whipped the beasts in a rage, the blood mist confused people's eyes, and the voice of the wind god Aunt Feng was a little hoarse: "At any cost, we must keep Chang'an......"

"Eighteenth aunt, I think we are the trapped beasts in the city. Ju Mang turned around and shattered the belly armor of a giant beast, and followed the force of the impact to fall in front of a Tang court official who had been cut to the ground by the rebels. He flew away and kicked away the roaring dragon that obscured his vision, his footprints still carrying the hot blood of the officials.

[Idle days are in vain, and they don't help God in times of crisis. 】

The demon dragon occupied by the divine power of spring quickly turned into a rain of flowers and scattered, and Ju Mang looked down at the official's burned house.

"It seems to be a mediocre official, but this end is also a bit pitiful. We are all the same, pathetic courtiers who were abandoned by the emperor and stayed in the empty city. He looked away from the burning firelight, and before him was the sky filled with demons and demons.

"Staff Officer He, I just think I'm a god in vain. His face lost the calm smile he used to have, and his voice lost the joy of spring.

"I think you've done your best. He Yanfang looked at Zhongnan Mountain, which was covered by clouds, and sighed softly.

[The purple qi moves with the emperor's seat, and the demon light shines darkly on the star of the platform. 】

The petals of the monster gradually became endless and swirling, which made Ju Mang alert: "Everyone!"

All kinds of light and flames have exploded in succession, and the chaotic streets are filled with screams and roars!

"Here it is again, senior brother......" He Yanfang raised his head, and standing lightly on the cornice, it was indeed a faint light with an innocent smile.

"The evil lord of planting, the ...... of swinging soldiers" Aunt Feng gritted her teeth, and the whip in her hand suddenly became stronger.

"Is it so hard to deal with this kind of waste, Divine Army?" the soldier laughed and launched the "Awakening Soul Sword", and the golden light of the weapon swept through the city like a tsunami!

[Nine days on Venus, the smoke of the Twelve Official Streets. 】

One of the strongest demon kings, the domineering indiscriminate attack annihilated the entire imperial capital, the flashing edge covered up the blood stains and corpses, and the staggered hum like a wave swallowed the screams!

The golden dust was unsettled for a long time, and when the shocked heart of the city began to return to normal, the calm and majestic voice of the evil lord resounded throughout the city—

"I'm sorry, all our actions from now on are just venting our anger!"

The loud laughter of the soldiers brought a city of swords to dance, and the whistle of the hazy bird also shrieked, and the whirling wind bloomed with all kinds of sparks of death!

"Damn ......" Aunt Feng's divine breath suddenly collided, and the gold dust was kicked up into the sky-rushing storm!

"Found it!" The red lips bloomed with a bloodthirsty smile, and the soldier leaped forward, and the golden big knife slashed straight at Du Chongxiao, who was beside He Yanfang!

"What?" Du Chongxiao was taken aback, and used the wind barrier to block the blade and flew back.

"I actually chased Lao Du away...... "Seeing the red shadow of Bingyi flying by, He Yanfang didn't chase it, but subconsciously looked at the place where Bingyi landed-

On the ground where the soldier's left hand touched his feet, the pale gold intricate pattern flashed and disappeared.

(Spell Seal...... Sensing that this was not the style of an unruly and reckless soldier, he looked up at the evil lord and the light at the top of the eaves.

Unexpectedly, the evil lord was also looking down at him, his eyes were sharp and calm, but there was no killing intent.

Hazy Light, who sat down on the top of the eaves, smiled brightly, and said something to him in the wind, as if "I must agree"?

There was a strange feeling on the ground that was shaken by the battle of a city, and he immediately spoke: "Spring God, Wind God." ”

"What ......" Aunt Feng hesitated for a moment, and then the gray tide had swirled up, instantly forming a circle barrier that trapped the three of them!

"Rock ......" was stunned for a moment, and suddenly became shocked, "Staff officer, are you colluding with them!"

"It's not about the staff officers. I beg your pardon for being rude, but we have nothing else to do!" A clear voice sounded, earnest and sad, "If it were the three of you, you should be able to listen to me, right?"

"...... Tono Sheng" still had lingering palpitations about the battle of Wuzhou, and Aunt Feng froze at the moment she saw Sheng.

"In my magic range, Blackwater Ji can't eavesdrop. Petra said slowly, watching Aunt Feng's actions closely.

"So, you want to negotiate?" Ju Mang looked calm, he looked at Sheng, and asked softly.

"It's not a negotiation, it's a request," Sheng approached unguardedly, his eyes as if they were immersed in the moonlight, which were already so beautiful that they seemed to indulge his soul, but now they were even more heartbreaking because of his earnestness and sorrow, "At the cost of the destruction of the Yan Ying Courtyard, can I get your help, senior?"

"Annihilation—" Aunt Feng's eyes widened, "What's going on?"

"You shouldn't know yet, right?We have all the Beastmaster Ding......" Sheng gently raised his handsome face with a resolute expression, "We want to sacrifice the Beastmaster Ding with blood at any cost to kill the Black Water Princess......"

"I saw the curse mark just now, are you using the battle to cover up the big killing array?" He Yan shook his head, "but that wasn't enough. ”

"Senior Haoguang said, staff officer, you are better at arranging formations than him. Sheng looked at him and spoke softly.

"Oh, so you're here to borrow soldiers?" Aunt Feng was still a little stunned.

Sheng lowered his eyes: "Not only that...... Yan Yingyuan alone can't stop this rain, so ......"

"Shengjun, we can only mobilize the divine army in Chang'an, do you really think we can help?" He Yanfang first frankly explained the current situation.

"That's enough," Sheng stared at him, "and...... With the affection of a few of you, you should be able to convince Taishan Mansion Jun (Note 2), right?"

"Taishan Mansion Jun?" Ju Mang was stunned for a moment, but he unconsciously softened his tone after looking at Shang Sheng, "You...... What do you want to do?"

"I'm sure you want to end this rain too, so that's it, please think about it anyway......" Sheng took a deep breath and said the plan he had been thinking about for a long time-

——·——

Looking down at the solid stone cage, the evil lord's eyes were filled with worry.

"Can you convince those guys, Sheng......"

"Yes, because it's Shengjun. A coquettish voice came from the air, and Kuromihime responded.

Looking at the glint of resentment, the evil lord smiled indifferently: "Do you feel afraid, Heishui Ji? ”

"There's no need to be afraid, the more you struggle, the more you fall. "The demonic breath permeates all things like water vapor, and the black water Ji makes all living beings tremble physically and mentally!

"The Night Dew of Destruction", **** Demon King Malufla Tajnet! Mercury is pervasive, like a long night covering everything, this is a huge horror that is difficult to resist!

The black mist gracefully enveloped the city, and the glittering beads of mercury condensed on the surface of everything like teardrops—

The secret weapon of the demon king made of mercury, "weeping chain"!

Whoever it was, unable to move in the sense of confusion and rage that enveloped the body and mind, the black water girl continued to let out a soul-grabbing ecstasy chuckle: "Evil lord, look at the battle of mortals under your feet......"

[The clouds are dizzy, and the eunuchs are like blood. 】

"It should be called the Yellow Nest Uprising, right? You used the rebel army as a meat shield all the way to hinder the crusade of the god army, which is really clever," the yin ghost stalked the evil lord, and Hei Shui Ji said in an arrogant tone, "And I take all the pain, despair, hatred, and evil thoughts born in **** as food......"

Overlooking the rebel army that slaughtered Tang court officials, the evil lord who fully listened to the crying and cursing smiled at himself, and hatred welled up in his bloodstained eyes.

"You will be defeated, not for your efforts, but only for your efforts, but not against the flesh-and-blood fools, but against the rulers, the powers, the demons who rule over this dark world!"

"Then wait and see, Heishui Ji, take a gamble and see how long you can last this rain!" Hazy Light crushed the pottery bird whistle, and the broken pottery shards condensed into a cyan painted halberd, pointing straight at the clouds, "Sometimes too contrived shows weakness, isn't it because you don't have the confidence to completely defeat us, so you come to persuade and threaten in every possible way-do you want to kill us now? Come on! ghost dog slave!"

Kuromihime paused, then smiled meaninglessly.

(I was really hesitating) thought to himself.

(Black Water Hime, you hesitate in the hidden possibilities, and hesitate because you are excellent)

But that's about it. The evil lord sneered in his heart, his gaze still unwaveringly looking down on the city.

In fact, there is no strength enough to compete with Kuromizuhime, but it seems that she has succeeded in confusing the suspicious.

Suspicious and cruel Black Water Hime, she can't realize that this is a harbinger of a bloody battle, and the insects caught by the net of bad luck pretend to be reckless, but they really prepare poison and fangs.

She wouldn't understand how rivals to the death could resonate. The heavy rain is still pouring down, even so, the night of the Yellow Springs that is finally finalized is still quietly approaching, ready to give her a shame that she will never forget for a thousand years-

Next: The Night Before's Light (Part II)!

——·——Notes

(Note 1) The poems quoted in parentheses are all excerpts from the Tang Dynasty poet Wei Zhuang's "Qin Women's Yin".

Wei Zhuang happened to experience the Huangchao Uprising, and he witnessed the process of Huangchao's claim to Emperor Chang'an and his eventual defeat, and "Qin Women's Yin" reflects the situation at that time well. However, Wei Zhuang wrote "Qin Women's Yin" with a class concept, and there were many slanders against the rebel army, which could not be completely regarded as historical facts. However, he still recorded the situation at that time more objectively, including the brutality and plundering of the Huangchao army, including the incompetence and brutality of the Tang army, which is worthy of recognition. This excerpt is the part of Huang Chaojun's massacre of Tang officials and the part of Qin Nu's questioning of Huashan God, which feels painful and powerful.

(Note 2) Taishan Mansion Jun: Also known as Taishan Mansion Jun, it was originally the name given by Taoism, and Taoism took the god of Mount Tai as Mount Tai Mansion Jun. During the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a saying that the soul of Mount Tai would return to Mount Tai after death. During the Wei and Jin dynasties, the god in charge of the underworld and the ghost was called Taishan Fujun. Folklore has it that the king of Taishan Mansion is filled by a righteous person and a minister, and he is replaced every five hundred years. One of the more famous is Cui Ziyu, a native of the Tang Dynasty. He breaks the sun during the day and the yin at night, and is a human god who justly judges the two worlds of yin and yang.

——·——Background of this article

In November of the first year of Guangming (January 16, 881), Huangchao was located in the Hanyuan Palace, and established the Great Qi regime, with the year name Jintong. The officials of the original dynasty were retained below the fourth grade, and the rest were dismissed. Soon, his subordinates "killed people all over the street, the nest can not be banned", the Tang clan left almost no one left in Chang'an, and the officials of the Tang family were panicked all day long, "Qin Women's Yin" said: "Huaxuan embroidered hubs are all scattered, and there is no half of the Jiadi Zhumen"; The inner library is burned to splendid ash, and the heavenly street is full of public bones". He also confiscated the property of the rich family, known as "Taowu", and the palace was barefoot.
