Chapter 15 Chapter 15 A Dream of Prosperity Turned into Dust

A violent force, like the power of changing stars, pierced through the sky from the top of the tower, and the whole rooftop seemed to be trembling uncontrollably. Trembling, everyone raised their heads and looked up, only to see a person standing proudly on the phoenix wings at the top of the pillar, his whole body in blue clothes was stained with blood, and the long hair behind him fluttered like black clouds in the night wind.The visitor held an object in his left hand, covered with golden scales, as big as a castan, and thousands of golden lights poured down from his hand, like holding a round of burning sun.After the stinging pain in everyone's eyes gradually calmed down, it was clear that the object was round and round, with three pairs of horns on it, like a white rainbow hanging upside down, with cold light shining; a pair of giant eyes like wine cups, although they were closed, they protruded three inches from the eye sockets , I still feel the green light flowing under the eyelids, which is too formidable to stare at; under the chin, there are hundreds of red beards, about ten feet long, dancing wildly in the wind, extremely ferocious.

Although no one has seen this thing before, they can already guess that it is the head of the Great Jiao God, the god worshiped by the clan in the past dynasties. According to the legend, after thousands of years of practice, the head of the real dragon body was cut off by this person and held in his hand! The endless night was flying and changing behind the man like a cloak, and the stars in the surrounding sky seemed to be dimmed.Seeing the legendary demon king coming to the world, everyone's throats were blocked by invisible things, and they couldn't even scream.The scarlet blood trickled down the steps to the stage, soaking the clothes of the people below the stage, but they still felt like a dream, and no matter what, they couldn't believe it was real.

"Sir!" Xiangsi's exclamation was very clear in the silence. Zhuo Wangsun seemed to have glanced at her, but didn't seem to, he just slowly lifted the dragon head in his hand and walked down the steps step by step.His voice was like thunder from the sky: "The Great Flood Dragon God has been killed by me, and all the claims of divine punishment are false!" The root of the plague originated from the miasma poison accumulated in Xisheren's body. After Xisheren's body turned into smoke and dust, the miasma poison was scattered into the river with the wind. Anyone who drank water in the river was hit by it, and the villagers who took the well water Then get away with it.Only the Great Jiao's Shendao skills are relatively deep, which can resist this strange poison, and its intracranial Yuan Dan is the only antidote for this disease.

Zhuo Wangsun had already reached the bottom of the Tianzhu, and lightly clasped his palm on the jawbone of the dragon's head. The dragon's head had a huge mouth, and a stream of blood gushed out, with a dark blue bead mixed inside.Zhuo Wangsun flicked his sleeve to spur the blood away, held the inner alchemy in his palm, turned to Xiaoyan and said, "Your Highness, this inner alchemy can just heal Miss Qianli." His wrist sank, and the inner alchemy was wrapped in In a cloud of purple air, Xu had already reached Xiaoyan's hand. Before Xiaoyan could thank him, the villagers under the roof suddenly shouted: "You two young masters, save our lives!" After saying that, they all knelt down on the ground, kowtow like pounding garlic.

Zhuo Wangsun said to Xiaoyan: "Your Highness, if this inner pill is taken directly by Miss Qianli, it will recover immediately; if it is distributed to everyone, it can only temporarily seal the corpse poison in the body for forty-nine days. Bite, the corpse poison will immediately break out, and the poisonous gas will flow through the whole body, making it impossible to save. The inner alchemy is in the hands of His Highness, how to deal with it is all in the mind of His Highness." Xiao Yan pondered for a while, and the sound of crying and praying in the audience became chaotic.

Xiaoyan sighed, and said slowly: "Everyone, please listen to me." As soon as these words came out, the world fell silent, and there was no other sound. The moonlight is like milk soaked in honey, slowly flowing down from the top of the cold and vast vault.The night wind fluttered his purple sleeves slightly, and he held the blue inner alchemy in his palm.Xiao Yan said: "Mr. Zhuo has already explained the cause of the matter to you. I will distribute this inner alchemy to you." Before he could finish speaking, the audience was already cheering and clamoring. I didn't want to hear what he said later.Xiaoyan frowned slightly, and when the voices died down, he continued: "After the corpse poison is temporarily sealed, for the sake of you and my companion, I will do my best to find a way to cure it completely. But you must also Guaranteed, after you get the inner alchemy, please calm down and cultivate, reflect on your own mistakes, support each other, and never bite each other again. You are all born in the etiquette gang, so you naturally know the truth of not doing to others what you don't want."

The following had already been waiting impatiently, and when he finished speaking, he made promises again and again, some even burst into tears, confessing their past; Being forced by others, there is no other way; some swear against the sky, vowing never to hurt others again. Xiaoyan sighed softly, the purple sleeve moved slightly, and a ball of lavender true energy condensed from his sleeve, and the faint blue inner alchemy was spinning rapidly in the purple energy, and after a while, the purple energy was silent Then, the blue light in the center turned into a cloud of dust, flying down from the ten-foot-high platform.Xiao Yan drummed his robe sleeves lightly, and the blue light poured down like a river of stars and dispersed with the wind.

The villagers in the audience looked up, staring and pushing each other, hoping that the flying dust would only fall on their own head.Some old, weak and injured villagers were squeezed on the ground, hissing and screaming. Xiao Yan turned to Xian Yin and said: "Since the corpse poison in their bodies has been sealed, Lord Xian Yin can also lead the villagers on the high platform down. Half of the villagers under the stage are wounded and lack food and clothing. They are in need of County Yin." Your Excellency will help; secondly, the villagers on the stage have also worked hard all night, so they should rest."

County Yin looked under the stands, hesitated, and said to Xiaoyan: "Although this young master sealed the corpse poison in their bodies for them, they are insane, and their desire to harm others and benefit themselves has been deeply rooted in their bones. It won't be able to change in a short while." Xiaoyan was silent for a moment, and said: "No matter what the crime is, as long as you have a heart to reform, you should give them a chance, not to mention that many of the villagers below the stage were originally relatives, friends and neighbors of the princes on the stage."

As soon as he said this, the villagers on the stage were touched by old feelings, and also felt sad for the death of the rabbit and the fox, and there were already sobs.Xian Yin pondered for a moment, then waved his hand and said, "Open the ladder passage." The officers and soldiers on the stage raised their knives and held their halberds. They first went down the ladder and stood on both sides to guard them. Soon the villagers filed down.County Yin was also surrounded by a group of officers and soldiers, and stood beside Yang Yizhi. The villagers on and off the stage first looked at each other from a distance, and after a while, they finally couldn't help crying at each other from a distance, and then several couples couldn't help pushing aside the guards, and rushed forward to hug each other and cry.After a while, the father and son, mother and daughter, and sister-in-law couldn't help but stepped forward to recognize each other, and the audience burst into tears.

Xiangsi seemed to have been moved by the reappearance of the family affection of the villagers after the catastrophe. She looked at Xiaoyan gratefully, but Xiaoyan's expression was extremely heavy.Qianli Zishi was still sleeping in his arms, the claw mark on her forehead was green and ferocious, it seemed that it might break out from her pale forehead at any time.Xiaoyan held her hand tightly, with a look of unbearable expression on his face. Suddenly, someone in the village screamed.A woman frantically broke free from her husband's arms. There was a deep tooth mark on her neck, and blood flowed down her fair neck to the collar, which had turned black.Her pupils contracted rapidly under the moonlight, as if she was in great pain, and then her whole body twitched violently as if being shocked by an electric shock, she plunged into the soil on the ground, wailed a few times, and died. Everyone seemed to have not understood what was going on, and the group of villagers started biting each other crazily.Shocked, Xiangsi wanted to step forward to stop it, but hundreds of people crazily biting and screaming, how could she stop it. Xiaoyan did not raise his head, but silently stared at the Qianlizishi in his arms, frowning slowly, and said in a low voice: "There is no cure." He flicked his sleeves, stood up straight, and the countless silver lights at the bottom of the sleeves were like water in an instant. Waves circled around him. Sen Han's killing intent instantly enveloped the entire square. However, before he could make a move, Zhuo Wangsun had arrived behind Na Dushi silently at some point, and pressed his finger against the back of his neck.Although Na Dushi had been secretly watching Zhuo Wangsun's actions, but when it came time for him to make a move, don't say to dodge, he didn't even see clearly.I just felt that the person who came didn't exert any force, but only pointed at my neck, and the incomparable fear had soaked into the bone marrow. Xiangsi was startled first, seemed to have seen something, and suddenly realized: "You encouraged those people to bite each other again?" Li Dushi sneered and said, "It's they themselves who believe that biting nonsense, what have I to do with it?" Xiaoyan's eyes showed a strong look of pity: "I think what you said to them just now must be within the scope of 'the corpse poison has been sealed, it is no different from a healthy person, if you bite enough seven, you will be cured'." , It's a pity that these few words can make them go back on their promises, and their relatives will not recognize them." Na Dushi said: "People always go back on their promises, and their relatives don't recognize them. Otherwise, how could they be bewitched by me?" Acacia was at a loss for words for a while, Xiaoyan took a few steps forward, looked around, and sighed: "It's just that I gave up the chance to make Zishiji recover, but I just let them get the proper 'medicine' again, and you are actually in the body. They are not poisoned, but what is the reason for inciting the villagers to kill each other?" Li Dushi snorted heavily, and said, "It's okay to tell you why, and I can also teach you the only way to end this disaster, but—" He glanced at everyone, and said: "I want to stand on my side The young man behind me promised me that he would not touch a single hair of my hair, and he would not let any of you touch me." Zhuo Wangsun said: "Speak." Li Dushi raised his head and looked at the county Yin who was standing beside Yang Yizhi, his eyes shone coldly, and said in a dark voice, "Lord Xian Yin, do you still recognize me?" County Yin was stunned and said: "Li Anren, are you also out of your mind? Three generations of your Li family are officials in this county, don't you recognize me?" Nadushi smiled coldly and said, "But my surname should be Qi." County Yin's face changed suddenly, he was stunned for a moment, and said in a trembling voice: "Could it be that you are Qi Yundong's son?" Du Shi laughed loudly and said, "Master Xian Yin didn't expect that a genuine Zhao family orphan would be staged in front of his eyes, right?" County Yin's face became gloomy, and he said: "Li Qi has been doing nothing all his life, and he didn't have a close relationship with your father. At that time, he was willing to exchange his only son for you. Cheng Ying was really wrong in this county. However, at that time your father Knowing foreign countries, committing rebellion, being sentenced to Ling Chi, crimes affecting the nine clans, and killing all families, these are all the orders of the Holy Majesty, what has it to do with this official, let alone the people of Xumo County? What's more, this official has treated you for twenty years You are not thin, entrusted with a heavy responsibility, you can take revenge on this official alone, but you want to kill the people of Man County, even the old and weak babies, so it is not ungrateful and insane!" Dushi snorted coldly, as if he was about to speak, but finally showed a look of disdain to argue, and only whispered: "Everyone knows how Lord Yin and the people of the county treated my family at the beginning, so why bother to talk?" He He suddenly raised his head, and his eyes were full of sinister smiles: "It's not just the old and weak babies? I swore at the beginning that no dog or chicken would be left in the whole Xumo County! Mr. Xian Yin, in fact, you are the one who is connected with foreign countries. In the past ten years, you have been secretly collecting arms from the Siamese generation, and spent ten years building a pagoda for offering sacrifices to the heavens, which is called worshiping the gods. In fact, you have stored armaments, food and grass in the tower, intending to support your troops and occupy the city to become king. And your lord These actions are all under my participation." Xian Yin's face became even more ugly: "It's only my fault for raising tigers." Du Shi said: "At the beginning, I designed and built the Heaven Sacrifice Tower for your lord, but what your lord didn't know was that I left a secret path in the tower that could detonate the gunpowder in the entire Sky Sacrifice Tower at any time. And the secret path The organ is in the mouth of the bronze flying phoenix on the top of the Tongtian Pillar, just gently turn the copper ring in the mouth of the phoenix, three to the left and four to the right, and then there is a loud bang between heaven and earth..." His eyes were full of madness, and his hands were on his lips. He made a posture of blowing ashes, and then laughed endlessly, as if he had seen the scene of Xu Mao County being wiped out. Xiangsi was startled and said, "Your so-called solution is to detonate the gunpowder in the tower? Then the people of the whole county..." That thing suddenly stopped laughing, and said in a dark voice: "Naturally, none of them can escape. Since the completion of this tower, I have been waiting for the opportunity to detonate the mechanism during the memorial service, and catch them all in one go. Unfortunately, for three years, every critical moment, There is always a fish that slips through the net. So I have been waiting, this plague is really God’s punishment for Xuxian County, and gave me a good opportunity. There was a moat several feet wide around this tower. When I came, I had secretly sent someone to destroy the only suspension bridge. The gunpowder is enough to level the entire Xumo County, which is really what I said at the beginning..." He couldn't help laughing wildly when he said this, his whole body was twitching, and he couldn't even straighten his waist up.The laughter was mixed with the screams and fights of the villagers nearby, which was creepy. Suddenly there was a loud "bang", Dushi's laughter seemed to be choked in his throat, he looked at the opposite Xian Yin in disbelief, his eyes almost protruded from his sockets, and there was a deep blood hole on his chest . Xian Yin stood in the night, his sleeves fluttering in the wind, with no expression on his face, and a Fulang gun in his hand was emitting wisps of blue smoke. Du Shi's body was stiff, and he fell backwards, his hands frantically tearing at the air.Zhuo Wangsun turned sideways slightly, and fell to the ground heavily.He stared at Zhuo Wangsun, the muscles on his face twitched, and he seemed to be struggling to sit up, but with all his strength, he could only utter a few vague words: "Why...don't you save me?" Zhuo Wangsun said indifferently: "I only promised you that we would not let us kill you." Du Shi's mouth moved, and just about to say something, his head tilted, and he had already lost his breath. That county Yin stepped forward, threw the Huo Tong on the corpse's face, and said with a sneer, "Since you know that I have bought armaments for ten years, but you never thought that I carried the Huo Tong with you, you are really stupid, and you deserve to die." He flashed away, then recovered, turned around and said to Zhuo Wangsun: "Thanks to the help of several knights, the culprit has been executed by this county on the spot, but it's a pity that thousands of people in Xumo County lost their lives, but nothing can be done." Zhuo Wangsun said indifferently: "In this way, Lord Yin of the county also agrees to detonate the mechanism?" County Yin sighed heavily, and said in a low voice: "Although Xumo County is located at the border, everyone is united, courteous and friendly, and lives and works in peace and contentment. The elders of the villagers regard this county as their parents. Now if I can exchange my life for the safety of the whole county, This county will not hesitate to die. However, the matter has come to this point, in order to prevent the spread of the epidemic and endanger the neighbors, we can only do this as a last resort." Xiangsi resolutely said: "Absolutely not! It's not impossible for those infected villagers to be cured. What's more, there may be many uninfected villagers among them. If you detonate the mechanism like this, you will be destroyed. Thousands of lives are at stake. How can you be rash!" Xian Yin frowned and said, "Girl, please turn around and take a look!" He pointed at the dying villagers with a flick of his sleeve.The vast majority of them were poisonous, their eyes were scattered, their faces were full of madness, their whole bodies were shivering non-stop, their mouths were drooling, and they were sitting or lying down, wriggling on the bloody ground.Some lay down on those hideous corpses covered in black blood nearby, mechanically biting and gnawing.Their swollen cheeks are agitating nervously, and it seems that they can only calm down temporarily when they bite flesh and blood in their mouths.For a while, in the square under the Heaven Sacrifice Pagoda, corpses were lying on each other, and more wounded were struggling and biting in the blood stains like walking corpses.From time to time in the night sky, the sound of human teeth tearing muscles and gnawing bones was heard, and the fire light shone on the faces of all the people, it was like hell in disguise, extremely terrifying. As soon as the lovesickness hits the eyes, I turn my head and dare not look at it again. County Yin said in a deep voice: "There are still people here, but they are just a group of walking dead! Letting them be free for a moment is the greatest mercy." Seeing that Xiangsi was silent, he turned to Zhuo Wangsun and said: "There is about a moment after the mechanism is activated. Time, with the martial arts of a few people, it is not difficult to get out of the body. However, the life of a civil servant in this county depends on the rescue of a few knights. After the incident is over, the county will petition the holy judge, and all the crimes will be borne by the county. None of your business." Zhuo Wangsun smiled slightly: "Lord Xian Yin understands righteousness deeply." County Yin's expression remained unchanged, he cupped his hands and was about to thank him when Zhuo Wangsun suddenly stretched out his hand to his back, the two of them shot up into the sky, and after several ups and downs, they reached the phoenix wings on the top of the Tongtian Pillar.Xian Yin realized that his body was already more than ten feet above the sky, the surrounding was cold and windy, and the sky was almost within reach.Even though he was always calm, his face was as pale as a sheet of shock at this moment, he squatted down on the phoenix's wings, tightly grasped the phoenix's neck, panting unsteadily. Zhuo Wangsun said with a smile: "Three from the left and four from the right, please ask Lord Yin to turn the engine off." County Yin looked at Zhuo Wangsun, forcibly stopped his anger, gritted his teeth, put his hand into Feng's mouth, and turned it around quickly.There was only a clang sound, Fengming Jiugao, the sound of gold and jade vibrating, spread far away in the night sky. Almost at the same time as Fengming, the two of them floated down from the tower like a lone cloud, leaving no trace of dust.Zhuo Wangsun waved his hand lightly on Bu Xiaoluan's waist, and said, "Let's go." A group of people jumped up and left very quickly. After a few ups and downs, they had already passed the moat under the Sky Pagoda. After a while, they had arrived at the city gate. People stand on the city wall. At this moment, a loud bang rose into the sky, and the raging flames dyed the entire sky red.Looking from a distance, the sky is blue, purple, golden and white, changing constantly, with countless debris flying in the air.The sky roared, the earth trembled, the mountains echoed, and bursts of scorching heat waves came over the sky and covered the sky, which could be clearly felt several miles away from the rooftop. Xian Yin barely stood up straight, but his face was bloodless.The loud noise became louder and louder, and Xian Yin's face became more and more serious. Not only was Bu Xiaoluan not afraid, but she was extremely happy. She smiled and hid behind Zhuo Wangsun, gently shaking his sleeves and said, "What a big firework, but look at it, my lord, my uncle is about to die of fright." Zhuo Wangsun said with a smile: "This lord is not afraid, but the gunpowder that hurts me." Under the firelight, the county Yin's face seemed to be slightly reddened, he turned his head and cupped his hands, and was about to say some words of thanks and farewell, when suddenly a cloud of flames pounced on him like a ghost, he felt a heat on his forehead, followed by a kind of The piercing pain seeped into the brain! Bu Xiaoluan exclaimed, "Firefox!" The county Yin was terrified, and stretched out his hand to wipe his forehead, and there was a puddle of sticky black blood on his palm. Bu Xiaoluan leaned in front of him and shouted: "My lord, what's wrong with you? The paw prints on your head..." It was too late and then fast, Xian Yin suddenly rushed towards Xiao Luan crazily, Xiao Luan was so shocked that he forgot to dodge, and was caught straight, that Xian Yin held her tightly, and opened his white teeth Bite her neck! Just hearing the muffled sound of "poof", Zhuo Wangsun's palm hit the County Yin Tianling Gai.He was merciless in this blow, Xian Yin didn't say a word, almost all the bones from the Tianling cover to the whole body were shattered by this blow, Zhuo Wangsun flicked his sleeve lightly, and the body fell straight into Xumo County. Xiangsi exclaimed, "Sir!" Zhuo Wangsun silently looked at the raging flames in the city, picked up Bu Xiaoluan, and wrapped her in his clothes. Xiangsi said in surprise, "Sir, where are you going?" Zhuo Wangsun said: "Follow that Firefox."
