Chapter 818: The Blocker
Lucius, who was running on Suzaku Street in an ox cart, only felt that the old cow outside was running faster and faster, and at the same time, the temperature in the carriage was getting higher and higher, and he only felt as if the whole person was running in a huge furnace, and no matter how he ran, he could not escape from this huge oven.
Even though he was sitting in the carriage, Lucius quickly sweated like rain, and even the wind blowing in from outside the carriage would have a burning sensation on his body, and the sweat that had just flowed out would quickly be dried by the wind blowing in, and the surface of his body would soon leave layers of fine salt particles.
Lucius finally couldn't bear it anymore, lifted the curtain in front of the carriage, and shouted to the old cow who was running wildly outside: "Cow, this, what the hell is going on?"
But when Lucius lifted the curtain and saw the outside, he was immediately stunned by the scene outside the carriage, but when he saw the old cow of the master, the two hooves of the cow had already ignited a fire, and the whole old cow seemed to be stepping on the fire to move forward, and the Suzaku Street in front of him had become a little distorted, which was the result of the high temperature.
Lu Xius really couldn't imagine why Chang'an City, which was originally normal, suddenly turned into a scorching purgatory like a fire.
The old cow of the master continued to run, as if it was not aware of the flames under its feet, and continued to run towards the imperial city at the end of Suzaku Street, as if it was just to complete the task given to it by the master.
Lecius took out a thermometer from the metal box on his waist, and just held it out of the range of the carriage, the mercury column of the thermometer was directly exploded, and the temperature outside the compartment was simply higher than the range of the thermometer on Lucius's body.
Lucius muttered to himself in horror: "Damn, it's crazy, this, what's going on? Is Chang'an City really going to burn?"
Then he thought of a possibility in his mind, that is, spontaneous combustion, but then Lucius denied his own idea, after all, at the moment, Chang'an City could not see the sun at all, if the whole city spontaneously combusted because of the high temperature. It shouldn't be what it looks like now.
But the current situation is really difficult to explain, such a high temperature is simply beyond the tolerance range of Lucius, in Lucius's opinion, if it continues like this, I am afraid that soon the entire Chang'an City will really be burned.
"Moo-moo" The old cow raised his head and shouted, Lucius heard the old cow's cry, and said helplessly: "Niu'er, don't bark, I can't help it, the East is really a magical place." I really can't figure out where the heat is coming from?"
But at this moment, the temperature around him dropped suddenly, and Lucius could almost clearly feel that the wind that was still burning on his face became soft and cool in an instant.
Sticking out his head to look at the old cow running again, he soon found that the flame of the old cow's hooves was gradually extinguished, and he saw that the old cow's hooves had left burning marks.
It was only at this time that Lucius finally understood that the flame on the old cow's hoof just now was real. He really couldn't imagine how the old cow of the master could endure the pain of burning hooves and still be able to run so fast on the street.
"Moo," the old cow barked twice more and kept nodding his head. As if trying to get Lucius to stick his head out to see something, Lucius understood, and stuck his head out of the carriage to look at the ground where the old cow was running.
I saw the original stone pavement. I don't know when a layer of cloth blanket was laid out, and the hooves of the old cow ran on the cloth blanket, which was regarded as isolating the old cow from direct contact with the ground. This surprised Lucius.
I couldn't help but get out of the carriage, stood on the wheel and looked at the back of the car, and saw that the cloth blanket was only under the ox cart, and there was no other place, and as the old cow ran, the cloth blanket would follow closely under the ox cart.
Lecius then understood, and knew that the cloth blanket under the ox cart was probably intentional by the master, in order to separate the ox's hooves from the ground.
Looking in a farther direction again, two figures could be vaguely seen, seemingly fighting fiercely on the streets of Chang'an City, from the two somewhat distorted figures, Lucius could still clear and distinguish that the two should be fighting in the scorching Chang'an City.
Lucius lowered his head and thought about it, and muttered to himself: "Chang'an City was suddenly shrouded in heat, is it caused by the master, or is it caused by the national teacher who blocked the way?"
As soon as the words fell, a voice came from the front of the ox cart: "Hehe, that is naturally caused by the national teacher, this is the power of the Vermilion Bird Array in Chang'an City, if there is no protection from the master's sleeve, you and this cow would have been roasted a long time ago." ”
Hearing the sudden sound behind him, Lucius quickly turned his head to look, and saw the bull head slowly stopping, and the old cow staring at the person blocking the road in front of him.
The person who blocked the way, Lucius, knew that there were a total of eighteen people, who were the people who had followed Li Wuchen's side, and the leader was the handmaid Shuang'er beside Li Wuchen.
Seeing such a group of people blocking the way, Lu Xius asked with some puzzlement: "Aren't you Li Wuchen's subordinates? Why do you want to help the national teacher? Don't you know what I entered the palace for? You hurry up and get out of the way, I don't have time to talk to you." ”
To Lucius's surprise, the other party did not mean to get out of the way, but Shuang'er smiled and said, "Of course we know your purpose." ”
After a pause, Shuang'er continued: "Do you want to enter the palace to see the second sage, take the initiative to ask the second sage, and go to Tianjiang to block the attack of the demon army, right?"
Lucius frowned slightly, stared at Shuang'er and said, "Since you know, why do you want to stop me? Do you want to see your empire fall? I'm helping you, even if we had a holiday before, but now we should be allies, not enemies." ”
"Ally, I'm sorry. Shuang'er then responded with a smile, "Your Highness Lucius, it is impossible for you and our Highness to be allies, and I forgot to tell you, in fact, I am not only a servant girl by Your Highness's side, I am also a saint of the Divine Miao Sect." ”
As he spoke, he pointed to the others and said, "And seven of them are from the True Martial Temple, seven are from the Wuxiang Temple, and four are followers of my Divine Miao Sect. ”
After listening to Shuang'er's introduction, Lu Xiuston understood and knew that the group of people in front of him were all from the Three Sects, and it was obvious that the Three Sects had already made their attitudes clear, that is, to subvert the Tang Dynasty.
Lucius glanced at the eighteen people with a solemn expression and said, "It turns out that you have been deceiving Li Wuchen all along? Or has Li Wuchen been accused by you a long time ago? That's why he let you come to stop me? Is he also willing to watch his empire fall?"
Shuang'er smiled playfully and said: "Hehe, who told you that the Tang Empire will fall? It's just that the Holy Emperor and the Holy Empress are stubborn and sympathetic to public opinion, and in the end they will lead to the anger of the heavens and the resentment, and My Royal Highness will stand up and turn the tide later, save the people from fire and water, and revive the dynasty." ”
After hearing Shuang'er's words, Lu Xiuston understood that the other party had already made all the plans, they did not want to subvert the Tang Empire, but to overthrow the Holy Emperor and the Holy Queen, so that a more obedient person would become the monarch of the Tang Empire.
Lucius sneered and said, "Hehe, if you play with Li Wuchen between applause, aren't you afraid that Li Wuchen will start to rebel against you when he sits on the throne? Moreover, you are so blatantly saying it, do you really think that no one can cure you?"
Shuang'er laughed insolently and said, "Hahaha, who can fix us? Who knows that we have to talk today? Don't forget, you are the only one standing here, and the others are not in front of us, and there will be no second person who hears this." ”
Lu Xius understood this time, it turned out that the other party had already made a plan, that is, to intercept himself, and even with the help of the Vermilion Bird Array in Chang'an City, he would get rid of himself in one fell swoop.
It was only at this point that Lucius figured it out, and had to admit that the person who could come up with such a plan was indeed a very terrible guy.
After calculating the hearts of Lucius and his master, and also calculating some possible responses of Lucius and his master, he insisted on using the Vermilion Bird Array in Chang'an City to protect Chang'an City, and wanted to wipe out Lucius and his master.
Vaguely, a familiar figure appeared in Lucius's mind, the descendant of the Royal Family of Hearts, he felt that he could count such a subtle person, I am afraid that only the King of Hearts who was known for his wisdom, otherwise if there was a second person with such wisdom, Lecius really didn't dare to imagine whether he could still gain a foothold in the East?
But thinking about it, the current situation Lucius still had to deal with, he took out his firearm from under his ribs, held it in his hand and stared at Shuang'er and the others, and took a deep breath to calm himself down.
In fact, this time, only he and his master came to Chang'an City, and did not let the disciples of the academy come with Du Liniang and others, and even Pan Hui did not bring them, and it was also Lu Xius and the master who had already thought that the other party might set up an ambush in Chang'an City to prevent Lu Xius and the master from entering the palace to meet the two saints.
Lecius and Master knew very well that if they brought everyone else, if the other party had already planned it, it was likely that they would be wiped out, and then they would really lose all their advantages.
Both the academy and the people under the command of Lucius may be wiped out, and if their full strength is exposed, they will be passive in dealing with the immortal realm and the Buddha kingdom in the future.
In order to be able to retain enough strength, in fact, it is also to protect the other people in the academy, after discussing with the master, it was decided that the two of them would come to Chang'an City alone to see the other party's methods, but what Lucius and the master did not expect was that the other party would actually use the Vermilion Bird Array to protect Chang'an City.
In the current situation, both Lucius and Master have fallen into a predicament, and the two were originally able to help each other, but with the appearance of each other, now neither of the two of them can take care of anyone, and whether they can get out of the current predicament can only rely on themselves.
