Chapter 222: God's Punishment (1)
Chu Zhong turned around and locked the gate, but this was just an ordinary wooden door, and if he wanted to block Meng Changxuan's advance, he might not even be able to do a one-meter-thick iron door.
Chu Zhong pushed Meng Changfeng to Gao Hong: "Hongzi, bring the door master up!" After such a long time, he re-used the title "Hongzi" to call Gao Hong, it seems that the two of them are still a pair of fox friends back then.
Gao Hong was stunned, since the two of them entered the Law Enforcement Hall, Chu Zhong had not called him with this title. But at this moment, Chu Zhong seems to have returned to the era of doing whatever he wants, the essence of this guy is a gentleman, and he can't change it after joining the Wu'en Sect for so long.
"I'll stay and stop him, and you protect the door master on the Xuanzhou!" Chu Zhong pressed his shoulder against the wooden door and said hurriedly, "The safety of the door master will be handed over to you!
Time didn't allow Gao Hong to think too much, he carried Meng Changfeng to Xuanzhou, and after walking a few steps, he heard Chu Zhong say behind his back: "Hongzi! I know that your heart is very uncomfortable these days, and I also know that you like her!"
Gao Hong was stunned, but Chu Zhong was still talking, and his speed of speech was eager to the extreme: "You think that Yi Zhi Nizi likes the master of the door, so he hides his thoughts in his heart! But I guess, Yi Zhi actually likes you! That Nizi always secretly looks at you when you practice swords!" Chu Zhong's voice couldn't stop trembling, but everyone heard a trace of madness in it: "A woman always peeks at a man unintentionally, she must like him, there can be no mistake!"
He turned his head sharply and smiled at Gao Hong: "Eight or nine is not far from ten!"
The rain poured on his face, and the young face was flushed and hideous because of the excessive force, but in those eyes, Gao Hong seemed to see the innocence of the former teenager.
"Fuck it off! Don't forget to burn more paper for Lao Tzu when the time comes!" Chu Zhong yelled.
Gao Hong turned his head and ran towards the gate of Xuanzhou in the roar of sword qi. He didn't dare to look at Chu Zhong's face, he was afraid that as long as he looked at it, he wouldn't be able to move, and there was a loud "clang" sound behind him, it was not difficult to imagine what a huge impact the wooden door was suffering, and only Chu Zhong alone was supporting it as a fulcrum. He also knew that Meng Changxuan's sword blade was passing through the wooden door again and again, piercing the young man's body back and forth...... His face was already damp, and he couldn't tell whether it was rain or tears......
The disciples on the Xuanzhou rushed down at the risk of being attacked by the blood puppet, and pulled him and Meng Changfeng onto the Xuanzhou together, and at this time, the road to Chuzhong had been completely blocked by the blood puppet.
Without the slightest hesitation, Xuanzhou hovering on the rooftop immediately took off, when the building was about to topple, there was no room for the slightest slackness, saving one more person would be a little more risk, Xuanzhou's purpose was to take the door owner out safely, for this purpose, they could even push Gao Hong down.
This is the rule of conduct of the Graceless Gate, everyone can be discarded, and it is not a pity to die as many people as possible, except for the one in the highest position. Bai Lai, Pei Huaiqian, Gao Hong and Chu Zhong all included themselves in this all.
Meng Changfeng's mind had already begun to blur, and he only came to his senses the moment he swallowed the Xuandan in his stomach, and a large amount of medicinal power gradually spread in his body, ensuring that he could survive the most difficult level.
Xuan Dan began to gradually regain his strength, he reluctantly opened his eyes, and saw the vast water of the Tianhe River below, the layers of foaming waves lapping on various buildings, the east of Pingyang City, the entire sky and earth turned red, and the rolling magma was flowing down the mountaintop.
On the rooftop below, Chu Zhong, who was covered in blood, launched the final blow against the demon Meng Changxuan, as one of the few law enforcement hall disciples in the Wuen Sect who was good at heavy swords, his last blow was not with a heavy sword or even an ordinary saber, but with a wooden barrel.
The young man in a white robe rushed towards Meng Changxuan with a bath bucket that looked like it had become moldy due to long-term use, but Meng Changxuan casually tore through a section of the wall, threw it out and smashed it on Chu Zhong's body, and the ruins of the wall weighing thousands of pounds smashed the young man on the rooftop, and the next moment, a pitch-black long sword fell from the sky and neatly sank into it.
Chu Zhong, a disciple who had been following Meng Changfeng since he took over as the head of the Law Enforcement Hall, died.
Meng Changxuan looked up at the sky and laughed silently, red blood flowed from under the ruins of the wall, and he laughed even more arrogantly, he opened his arms in the wind, as if he wanted to hug his brother.
"Changxuan, we can't go back...... "Meng Changfeng let out a soft groan between a dream and a moan.
Xuanzhou, who had not entered the clouds, quickly left the scene with him, Gao Hong's hand holding Meng Changfeng's chest couldn't stop shaking, the rain couldn't fall on his face, but there were still large droplets of water sliding down his cheeks.
He remained expressionless.
......
......
Luxurious horse-drawn carriages raced through the rainy night.
At this time, everyone on the road was heading west, and to the west was the high ground, and the tide had not yet swept anywhere. Only this carriage went east, so it did not encounter any obstacles along the way, and galloped alone.
This is the car of the county guard of Leiyang County, in this case everyone can escape, but Zhou Zhinan, who is the county guard, must rush to the front line of disaster relief. The sad-faced Lord Zhou sat in the back of the carriage, and Gong Cao was telling him about the general situation of the disaster.
According to the report of Pingyang City, the vision of heaven and earth caused by the Xuanli riot has been irreparable, the extent of earthquakes, typhoons, and torrential rains is gradually serious, and the east gate of Pingyang City has even collapsed, and the most serious situation is that Pingyang City will bring a large area of the nearby city to be flooded by Tianhe water and magma, or sink below the ground torn by the earthquake.
The house leak happened to rain for days, and the unknown thugs controlled all the passages of the main street of Pingyang City, and also divided some people to attack the main peak of Wu'en Gate and the city under their command, including Tianjian Mountain, Caiyi City and Pingyang City...... In short, the county guard can't control the situation at all, and even the rescue is powerless, if the disaster continues to spread and is not controlled, I am afraid that the seven cities in the east of Leiyang County will all be submerged, and only the higher west can survive.
Lord Zhou usually pays attention to health and sleeps early, but tonight he was coaxed by Gong Cao directly breaking into the door, this Lord Zhou fell directly from the warm chest of the little concubine into the chaotic reality, and until now he is in a state of confusion. Although the county guard of Leiyang County is an official position that exists in name only, it is still extremely important because of the terrain, Lord Zhou was born in the Hanlin Academy, and studied under the Taishi for three years, he is a typical hypocrite and fake scholar, and his strength is to write articles and fake benevolence and righteousness, and he collects wealth in the name of righteousness, plus apologizes to the people, and this kind of drama is also very free. But as a half-witted scholar or a hypocrite, he didn't know how to solve the current crisis, and the news had not been released to the people until now.
Gong Cao told the county guard that he had lost contact with the capital, and from this moment on, Zhou Zhinan became the full head of the entire Leiyang County, in other words, if the disaster relief was successful, he would be able to enter Kyoto and be promoted to at least two ranks, and if he failed, he would be a sinner of the country.
Zhou Zhinan also fantasized that he was promoted to a knight to meet the saint, and he had a drink with the scholars of the current dynasty, and he attended all the glamorous and decent occasions, glorifying the lintel of his Zhou family, and at this moment there was such an opportunity in front of him, but he couldn't be happy.
"According to the law of Canglan, when you can't contact the capital, you still have the right to mobilize the garrison army of Leiyang County. Gong Cao reminded, "Do you want to negotiate with those thugs first?"
"Zhao Gongcao! My strength lies in Anbang's rule of the country and writing books, and I really can't do anything in the face of that group of thugs who destroy human nature......" Lord Zhou was terrified.
"I also know that adults have no experience in this area, so I found a master who specializes in disaster relief for adults. ”
"What kind of master works at this time?" Zhou Junshou's voice was a little louder when he was furious, "What I want now is the army and the mysterious! What kind of bullshit master does it matter? They are just a bunch of garbage that indiscriminately fills the corpse and vegetarian meal! At this time, their role is not as good as that of the family at my door!"
"Boom~"
The carriage braked sharply in the rain, almost throwing Lord Zhou out of the carriage, and at the corner of the street in front of him, a black figure with an umbrella stood waving to the carriage of the county guard.
"What kind of car to park? Don't you know how fast the soldiers are?"
"I told him to stop. Zhao Gongcao said, "That is the master I found for you, and we have made an appointment to meet here." ”
The black shadow opened the curtain and came in, and stretched out his hand to Lord Zhou: "Introduce yourself, Situ Yi, the fourth elder of the Situ family in Qingluan City, is also a good hand at disaster relief." I hope to do my best to help Leiyang County tide over the difficulties. ”
"This ...... This...... I'm so sorry to trouble you!I'm relieved to have you here!" Lord Zhou began to speak incoherently because he was too excited, and while shaking hands with Situ Yi warmly, he looked at this handsome middle-aged man, thinking to himself, how could the Lord of the Situ family appear here so coincidentally?
"I also ask Elder Situ to forgive the officials for their panic...... I don't know what your specialty is, negotiating with those thugs or disaster relief?" asked Zhou Junshou.
"Negotiations? Lord Zhou doesn't really think we have anything to talk to about with those thugs, do they? They are no longer gangs or gangs, they are more like evil sects gathered in everything, trying in vain to resurrect a demonic power. ”
"What!" Zhou Zhinan exclaimed, "I didn't expect that they are no longer thugs, but demons! I have no experience in dealing with these evil things!"
"That's exactly why I'm here, please leave this matter to me. Situ Yi said.
"I think it's better for me to hurry up and draft the reputation of the resignation......"
"Several representatives of the magnates stationed in the county have already written to say that if you step down in a time of crisis, the Taishi line will be greatly humiliated. This is the day when you and Leiyang County will live and die together, if you insist on leaving, please leave and your family to disappear in the Canglan Empire forever, otherwise ......" Zhao Gongcao's words were not finished, but the meaning was already on the surface.
"Why did the family teacher treat me like this!" Zhou Junshou almost didn't spurt out a mouthful of old blood.
"Where is our destination?" Elder Situ?" Zhao Gongcao asked.
"Caiyi City Qin Tianjian, there is a lookout in the eastern part of Leiyang County, and the commander must of course sit in it. Situ Yi was confident, "Please inform the major officials of Leiyang County to go there as well." ”
"I'm sorry, we can't get anywhere, the water is more than a foot deep and no carriage can reach it. ”
"Who said you were going to drive a carriage?" Situ Yi's tone was indifferent.
There was a loud bang at the top of the carriage, and then the galloping carriage left the ground and flew rapidly in the air at a height of more than ten feet. Zhou Junshou was completely frightened, but Zhao Gongcao was more bold and poked his head out of the carriage to see.
A chain that exuded golden light wrapped the whole carriage, and the other end of the chain was held in Situ Yi's hand, and with this small chain, he had to fly over the undulating sea with a luxury carriage weighing nearly a thousand catties.
"Elder Situ is really generous. Zhao Gongcao sighed in admiration, "Introduce yourself, Zhao Qing." He lowered his voice, "Deacon of the Inner Gate of the Graceless Gate, greetings to the four elders." ”
"I should really applaud my daughter's hands and eyes, Deacon Zhao. Situ Yi also lowered his voice, they were transmitting sound at a short distance with Xuanli, and it was impossible to hear it in the realm of Zhou Junshou.
It only took a few minutes for both sides to explain their identities, and in this case, there was no choice but to ask for help from the outside world. Through Situ Lian, the Situ family contacted Zhao Qing, who was placed next to the county guard to do gongcao, and introduced Situ Yi to Zhou Zhinan, who was in a hurry.
The power of the Situ family came to Leiyang County in a moment, and as the disaster continued to erupt, even one of the three holy places could not sit idly by, and the huge Xuan Array slowly rose into the air, and the surging information was shuttling freely in this large array, as if ten thousand snakes were returning to their nests.
......
......
In the hall of the Qintianjian in Caiyi City, the rain was pouring outside the window, and the fierce lightning smashed down like a silver pillar, and the entire Qintianjian could hardly find a sealed place, and the wind blew the paper used for the record all over the ground.
Yan Chong's hand holding the pen was trembling slightly, he was recording this disaster, and trying to send this information to the capital and the sect for backup, and soon even Caiyi City would sink into the surging heavenly river, and all evidence would be submerged by the river. But as long as this information can be sent to the capital and the sect, people will be able to know the process of sinking in the eastern part of Leiyang County, and if a similar catastrophe happens again, at least there will be a way to predict it.
This is his battlefield, and it is the glory of Yan Chong to die on this battlefield. His heart was full of peace, even some joy, he had quit drinking for many years, but at the moment he broke the vow and drank heavily, he raised his glass and drank it in high spirits, and the pen in his hand moved quickly on the paper.
When the disaster came, the great Qin Heavenly Prison was evacuated in less than a cup of tea, and now there was only one Wuguan Si Chen with blood on his head, who had just entered the place and was one of the lowest officials. He watched in a daze as the Supervisor sat in his chair and did not move, drinking and writing with an expressionless face.
"Your Excellency......" Si Chen muttered.
"Let's go, these people are useless, and you are even more useless. Yan Chong said coldly, "But someone has to stay and present these to the imperial court, and these black and white words will be useful for the future of our country." You will become a useful person in the future, and you will keep in mind all the things that you have left behind!"
He glanced at the young Si Chen, his eyes were as sharp as a knife, and he yelled: "Now! Get out!"
Si Chen was stunned, and then he looked deeply at Yan Chong, chasing the officials who fled the way away. Windows and walls shattered one after another, and a violent storm swept through the hall, as a member of the Evil Golem Sect, of course he understood what was going on, this was the awakening of the Evil Emperor. Ordinary people can't compete with that kind of high-flying existence, and only people like them can step on the battlefield.
There was a dull roar above the roof of the Qin Heavenly Prison, and Yan Chong subconsciously looked up, not knowing who would rush to the Qin Heavenly Prison in Caiyi City at such a time. This attic had been vacated not long ago, and now Yan Chong was the only one left holding on.
After half a pillar of incense, a group of majestic guys slowly walked into the Qin Tianjian Hall, which looked very bluffing at first glance. They were all dressed in one-color cyan robes, with ornate badges pinned with the word "Situ" on their chests.
Yan Chong was so startled that Huo Ran got up, these guys raised their hands slightly, even if they greeted him, they each occupied a table, and the golden silk thread spread from their hands, and then floated into the air.
The Qin Heavenly Prison Hall was back to full capacity, but it was only taken over by a group of strange guys.
The Situ family of Qingluan City arrived in Leiyang County with an extremely luxurious lineup.
The luxury of this team can be seen from the leader of the group, a woman is dressed in a murderous black shirt, her long hair is curled into a high ponytail, and a jade flute hangs around her waist, fluttering up and down with the pair of slender legs that can be called "shocking".
"Miss Xuanyin!
"Evil Puppet Sect, do we know each other?" Situ Xuanyin frowned slightly, a tear mole dotted the corner of his eye, the moment Yan Chong touched her gaze, his eyes suddenly appeared momentary dull, this woman seemed to be more elegant and peerless than a few years ago, and more ruthless......
"In the early years, you had a conversation with Miss Lian and the sect master, and the lower officials had the honor to observe. Yan Chong said cautiously. He said in his heart that after that conversation, the sect master almost smashed the house out of anger, because this aunt said in front of everyone, "The evil sect is crooked, and it should perish." ”
"I see. Situ Xuanyin bowed slightly, "But at this time, you didn't choose to take refuge but stayed here and held on, I will temporarily retract the previous sentence." ”
"Even if Caiyi City is about to sink tonight, as officials of the Canglan Empire and as members of the Evil Puppet Sect, we have a reason to stay here and leave the last information for our homeland!" Yan Chong said categorically.
"These things are useless, and Leiyang County will not sink. Situ Xuanyin turned around slowly, and the extremely moving curves of her body were even more tempting when she got up, "Because we are already here." ”
The elite of the Situ family soon showed their outstanding side, but after only a quarter of an hour, they had completed the blockade of Pingyang City and controlled the flow of people. The same city was able to exert 10 percent efficiency under the management of the county guard, but under the control of the Situ family, the efficiency was increased to 20 percent! Under such harsh conditions, the Situ family actually opened all the passages, allowed the Xuanzhou to set sail, and all the roads were free of obstacles.
At this moment, the people will surely thank the county guard for their management and bold decision, which helped them escape from this apocalyptic city.
"Miss Xuanyin, in this case, you actually allowed Xuanzhou to fly, so you are not afraid of being struck by lightning?" Yan Chong was terrified.
"There's no problem, there are about two hundred Xuanzhou reserves in Leiyang County, and there will be no more than half of the Xuanzhou that have fallen. The eldest lady, who was born noble, said lightly.
Yan Chong's heart turned from joy to worry, although the elites who took over the defense of Leiyang County were all geniuses, they were also bastards with little humanity. However, seeing that Leiyang County was about to be destroyed in half, and the Situ family, who were thousands of miles away, would rush to support, it was still a little comforting to think of this.
There was a dull roar from the roof again, and within a while, the trembling Leiyang County Keeper Zhou Zhinan, Gong Cao, and the specially invited worshippers appeared in the Qin Tianjian Hall, and all the staff nodded at a few people to welcome.
"Thank you for sharing the hardships with Leiyang County at this time, and thank you on behalf of the emperor!" Lord Zhou bowed deeply, tears were in his eyes, and at the critical juncture when he couldn't even take care of his grace, all the members of Qin Tianjian still stayed here, which was indeed a very morale-boosting scene.
The only problem is that I don't know when there were so many unfamiliar faces in Qin Tianjian, but Lord Zhou didn't bother to care about these details, in short, it was good that someone was still there, which showed that Leiyang County had not given up.
Zhao Gongcao led the county guard to Qin Tianjian's room, and the specially invited worshipper and Situ Xuanyin glanced at each other. Lord Zhou is self-inflicted, these elites of the Situ family do not have the habit of greeting court officials, and their respect is for special invitations standing behind Lord Zhou.
From this moment on, Leiyang County was in the hands of the Situ family.
"The situation is even more tricky than we thought, the awakening of the Evil Emperor is accelerating, his will is gradually recovering, and he is actively trying to destroy Leiyang County and completely submerge this place. Situ Xuanyin lowered his voice.
"Prepare! Scatter these things in Pingyang City, the sooner the better!" Situ Yi fell into a brief mutter, and then ordered in a low voice.
"Is there an emergency notice?" Situ Xuanyin took the thick pile of white paper in his father's hand.
"No, it's a missing person notice. ”
.....
Although it is not the right time to scold his mother, Situ Zheng is indeed scolding his mother.
Tonight happened to be Situ Wan's turn to be on duty, so he was also the first person in the inn to notice the coming disaster. He sensed something strange long before the tide approached, the clouds converging rapidly from the sky, and the cattle screaming in terror. It was too late to warn the others, and as soon as he and the injured Mo ran out of the inn through the side door, they heard a thunderous tide, and after dozens of breaths, the tide engulfed half of Pingyang City.
For dozens of breaths, they can only run as hard as they can, following the flock of snakes and birds all the way to the higher west, he can't resist the sword now, his Xuan power can't support him to fly for a long time, he must leave his strength at the most critical time. The tide was jumping behind him, and it was the excitement that Situ Cheng had never felt when he was chased by a group of fierce wolves in the 100,000 mountains.
The Evil Emperor is awakening, and only the awakening of the Evil Emperor can cause a great change in heaven and earth of this level. There was a shuddering smell in the sea breeze, and that extreme evil aura had spread throughout the city.
