Chapter 120 Explosion! The fall of Changxian! (6K big chapter, thanks to the leader @'0606') (Revised)
Too much happened tonight.
When Jin An left the Yamen and returned to his place of residence, he was still thinking about tonight's long conversation.
The moon and stars are sparse.
When Jin An returned to his residence, it was already past Haishi.
Because it was curfew time, the government sent several government officials to escort Jin An back. Jin An thanked the government officials and watched them leave before he opened the courtyard door and prepared to enter the house.
"I seem to have forgotten something..."
"By the way, I actually forgot to ask Mr. Yiyun about the female corpse in the white coffin..."
"never mind."
"Anyway, I will take the goat left by the old Taoist priest and the five internal organs tomorrow and run away. I won't think about these troublesome things."
Since trees cannot be exploded.
Then all that's left is to run away.
This was Jin An's plan from the beginning.
Fortunately, according to Mr. Yiyun's advice, the matter in Chang County should have been reported to the Zhenguo Temple and Yujing Golden Tower in the capital. Naturally, there will be experts who will come to eliminate the demons and defend the way.
Jin An entered the courtyard and saw the yellow light of the oil lamp shining through the window paper of the old Taoist priest's room. The old Taoist priest was sleeping very soundly. The sounds of grinding teeth and snoring could be heard even while standing in the yard.
After filling some carrots into the goat's basket in the yard, he walked to his room thoughtfully.
Jin An was thinking about what he should take with him when the city gate opens tomorrow morning and run away.
Sudden!
Boom!
A violent explosion resounded like thunder on the ground, and the ground shook. Even from a distance, Jin An felt the ground beneath his feet shake violently.
"Um!"
Jin An's expression changed drastically, and he rushed out of the room. He looked up and saw a fire shooting into the sky from a certain direction in Chang County. The fire was so intense that the fire spread all over the sky and turned the dark night sky red.
At this moment, the people of Chang County were all running out in messy clothes. There was chaos, and the whole city was in chaos.
"The dragon has turned over the ground!"
"The dragon has turned over the ground!"
At this time, the old Taoist priest also ran out in a panic. When he ran out, he didn't forget to rescue his treasure, the Tai Chi Bagua trousers.
Earth-turning dragon is the ancient name for earthquakes.
In mythology, there is an earth dragon sleeping underground. When it accidentally turns over, landslides will occur on the ground, the earth will shake, houses will collapse, and there will be countless deaths and injuries.
As soon as the old Taoist priest rushed to the yard, he saw someone on the roof. When he took a closer look, it turned out to be Jin An. The old Taoist priest who had been nervous just now breathed a sigh of relief.
"What a fierce fire!"
"Little brother, have you seen the fire somewhere in Shichang County?"
The old Taoist priest shouted to Jin An on the roof.
Jin An looked at the Man Mo Temple that was completely engulfed in fire, and the fire had a tendency to spread rapidly to the surrounding wooden structure buildings under the force of the fire. He took a deep breath, and the expression on his face was unprecedentedly solemn.
Pedal.
Jin An jumped off the roof and said solemnly to the old Taoist priest: "Old Taoist, something is going to change in Chang County. The shaking of the earth just now was not caused by an earth-turning dragon, but because the Wenwu Temple was exploded by someone planting gunpowder! Now the Wenwu Temple has completely collapsed.
, that place has become a sea of fire!”
"Old Taoist, let's pack our things quickly to prevent the fire from getting out of control and burning to our side. We will leave Chang County as soon as the city gate opens."
After Jin An finished speaking, he frowned and looked in the direction of the east gate of the city nearest to him.
The Man Mo Temple was bombed, and Chang County will definitely lock down the city to arrest the real culprits. They may not be able to leave the city smoothly tomorrow.
"Man Mo Temple was bombed?"
The old Taoist priest was stunned when he heard this. Is there really someone crazy enough to blow up the Wenwu Temple?
But seeing such a serious expression on Jin An's face for the first time, the old Taoist priest already knew that what Jin An said was true.
"Haven't all the gunpowder that the Qingshui Gang hid in the city been removed? Why is there still gunpowder?" the old Taoist priest said in shock.
Jin An shook his head solemnly: "I guess there are some fish that have slipped through the net."
"The person who bombed the Man Mo Temple tonight was probably the escaped assassin. This assassin has gone crazy. He is planning to break the pot and go straight to the legendary cornucopia in the Man Mo Temple without caring about the city.
People’s lives.”
"treasure bowl?"
"This name is very familiar. I remember hearing it somewhere..."
Before the old Taoist priest finished speaking, the Jin'an man had already run back into the house with a serious expression on his face, and then his soul came out of his body.
Hun'er took off the two yellow talismans on the palms of his fleshly body, and Jin An relied on the Shinto aura on the yellow talismans to protect the soul, and quickly walked towards the Wenwu Temple through walls and rocks.
At this time, the Man Mo Temple was filled with flames.
Half the sky was burned red.
Chang County is located in the south, and the south is Li. Li Huo is the most blazing red bird with yang energy, which is the most soul-breaking. Even though Jin An possesses six Ding Liujia talismans and has twelve Shinto protection bodies, he has not yet approached the Wenwu Temple.
He was blocked by the blazing heat wave of the raging flames for a mile and could not go any further.
If he forced himself forward, his soul would be injured.
At this time, the chaos at Man Mo Temple was even more chaotic than in other parts of Chang County. The huge shock wave of the gunpowder explosion collapsed a circle of surrounding houses.
Many people were still asleep and were directly buried by the collapsed rubble.
Under the scorching waves of fire, there were screams, cries, and cries for help. A husband who had narrowly escaped death was frantically digging through the rubble in search of his buried wife and children.
Many government officials and Xiangyong who had been stationed near the Man Mo Temple and were not affected by the gunpowder explosion began to rush to the streets to save people.
The scene before my eyes was like a scene of hell on earth.
Horrible.
The Man Mo Temple at the center of the explosion was completely engulfed in flames.
Jin An's expression was solemn.
It is impossible for an ordinary explosion to have such a huge blaze!
This explosion definitely had kerosene fueling the fire!
The thorn-yin master also knew the evil nature of Qingqianliu, and he must have wanted to burn Qingqianliu with the help of kerosene!
Jin An's head felt heavy.
So did this explosion kill Qingqianliu? Or, on the contrary, it completely angered Qingqianliu and awakened Qingqianliu!
Unfortunately, in Jin An Hun'er's eyes, he saw nothing in the Wenwu Temple, only flames burning like pillars soaring into the sky.
There was a shocking change tonight, and people were in panic. Jin An was worried that something would happen to his physical body if he stayed too long, so he planned to return to his soul first.
…
"Wang Xian, are you sure that in this house, the men are always out doing business and only the female family members live there?"
"Everything I said is true. I can still deceive you, Ah Quan. Taking advantage of the current chaos in the city, all the country warriors patrolling the streets at night ran to put out the fire. We took the opportunity to go into this house and look for anything valuable.
something.”
An explosion.
Some people are fearful, while others are greedy.
Two thieves focused on the time when the Yamen had no time to pay attention to the curfew, and sneakily found a small alley. There was a small door in the alley, which was the back door of a house.
"Okay! Done!"
A Quan's eyes showed a fierce look, and the brave ones were starved to death.
The two men were obviously habitual thieves. One of them lifted the other up, climbed over the wall, and then removed the wooden stick and bolt holding the door from the inside.
Squeak——
In the dark night, the courtyard door made a rustling sound of the wooden door hinge turning, just like the painful sigh of an old man who had been lying on the bed for a long time, struggling to turn over.
After quietly closing the door, the two began to enter the yard in the dark, and then rummaged through boxes and cabinets to find valuables.
This family must be a small and wealthy businessman. They entered the courtyard for the second time. They have a main room and a side room, with seven or eight rooms. There are also many potted plants planted in the courtyard.
But at night, all that is left of these potted plants is black, with branches and leaves spread out like ghosts waving and rustling in the wind in the dark night.
These two thieves were very courageous, otherwise they would not have thought of making a fortune at this time. They were not afraid of these things at all, and went straight to the main room where the owner of the house rested.
After rummaging through the cabinets, the two of them found a lot of good things, including women's gold and silver jewelry.
"It's strange. It must have gone too smoothly this time. There is no one in the main room. The man is not at home. There must be women here, right? The gold and silver jewelry and rouge powder used by these women indicate that there is a real wife in the main room all year round.
It’s better to live there, Wang Xian, don’t you think it’s strange?”
"What the hell, why are you thinking so much?"
The harvest this time was very rich. The two of them walked out of the main room holding several large cloth bags. As the saying goes, the snake swallows the elephant when the heart is not enough. Tonight's success was so smooth that it stimulated the two of them to become even more greedy, so they set their sights again.
Go up to the remaining rooms.
Even after rummaging through the two side rooms, both of them found a lot of fruit. Those exquisite gold and silver jewelry could only be afforded by the concubine of the owner of the house, not a maid from a poor background.
"Wang Xian, something is indeed wrong. Why haven't you seen anyone in this family?"
The two people who are greedy at this time can't care so much. They are reluctant to part with the wealth of this wealthy businessman family. It is a rare opportunity and they don't want to give up the opportunity of getting a mobile phone so easily.
No one is better, maybe I have to travel far away temporarily or visit relatives.
Although the property they had stolen at this time was enough for the two of them to live happily for several years, there is no limit to the greed of people.
When the two reached the third wing and just opened the door, Ah Quan suddenly said: "Wang Xian, do you smell a strange smell?"
Wang Xian replied nonchalantly: "There is indeed a strange smell. Maybe it has been a long time since the windows and doors were opened and ventilated, so there will inevitably be some strange smell."
He is now focused on looking for valuables in the house.
"That's not right. Wang Xian, have you noticed that the strange smell is getting stronger and stronger? It seems that the closer you get to this screen, the stronger the smell becomes. Wang Xian, let's go over and have a look."
At this time, even Ah Quan, who was blinded by greed, felt a little nervous.
Logically speaking, the gentlemen like them are the most courageous, but tonight for some reason, I suddenly felt uneasy.
In the dark side room, Wang Xian and Ah Quan did not dare to light candles because they were worried that someone would find them breaking into the house and stealing, so they groped in the dark and quietly walked to the screen.
Both of them were habitual thieves, and their night vision was better than ordinary people's. They could barely see in the pitch-black wing room.
When the two stood in front of the screen, the strange smell was already very pungent. Even Wang Xian noticed that something was wrong. The two looked at each other in the dark, and then quietly walked around the screen.
call!
The movement of the two people brought up a weak air current in the pitch-black room.
Sixty-seven dead faces with closed eyes, pale faces, and blue lips suddenly appeared behind the screen! And behind the sixty-seven dead faces, there was a huge tumor of unclear appearance!
Six or seven dead faces are very close at hand!
Wang Xian and Ah Quan were so frightened that the color drained from their faces.
"Help...help!"
A shrill scream rang out under the night, which happened to attract a group of rural warriors who were about to rush to put out the fire. A dozen or so rural warriors broke in through the door holding torches.
"Head, look, the door of that wing is open. The scream just now should have come from that wing."
When these village warriors rushed into the wing with torches in one hand and swords in the other, they were shocked by the bloody scene in front of them.
The ground was covered with drag marks and blood stains.
Someone tried to escape from the side room, but before they could reach the door, they were dragged back and dragged behind the screen.
When these village warriors cautiously came to the screen, their hands holding torches trembled and they almost threw away the torches in fear.
The faces were full of fear, fear and panic.
There were six or seven ashen-looking dead bodies, including women, children, old people, and servants... Their bodies were twisted into a ball like tree roots, and their hands, feet, and bodies were tightly entwined.
Sticking together, it was impossible to tell which hand belonged to whom, and who's foot belonged to whose, because their hands and feet were all twisted like ugly tree roots, tightly intertwined, and covered with a familiar black liquid.
Those dark nights are like tree sap, binding these hands and feet together so tightly that they cannot be separated.
"Save me..."
"Save me..."
A series of painful and suppressed roars came from the throats of Wang Xian and A Quan, who were not yet dead.
At this time, they also became part of these ugly human-shaped tree roots. The bodies of the living people were bent and twisted, the vertebrae were crushed, the internal organs were squeezed, blood gurgled from the seven orifices, and the calls for help became weaker and weaker... and their complexions began to change.
It turned gray, and blood no longer flowed out of the body. Instead, black liquid like tree sap began to flow out, and the eight or nine corpses were firmly glued into a larger ugly tumor.
Although the lump of sarcoma tree roots in front of me has always been still and has not moved, it is precisely because it is still that it will not move. Looking at the hands and feet of two living people, the torso is as tight as a tree root with the hands and feet of six or seven dead corpses.
Being entangled together makes it even more terrifying.
"monster!"
"There is a monster!"
These village heroes were so frightened that they peeed and ran out of the wing in a panic. Some of them had no time to run out, and only the screams could be heard from behind.
…
The spirit of Jin'an, who happened to be passing by here, heard the sounds of many people running in panic, and his spirit hurriedly drifted over to check.
As a result, I happened to see a large group of village warriors running out of an ordinary-looking second-entry courtyard in a panic, shouting monsters, as if they had been frightened out of their wits.
Jin An took out the Six Ding Liujia Talisman and the Five Thunder Evil Killing Talisman and held it in his hand, ready to use the yellow talisman if anything went wrong. Then he cautiously floated to the wing where the village heroes fled in panic.
He was in the state of a soul at this time. He did not need to enter through the main entrance like a living person. Jin An walked directly through the wall and entered the wing. When the soul floated into the wing, he immediately saw eight or nine corpses entangled, entangled, and twisted into a
Globs of huge ugly gnarled tree roots.
Even Jin An couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart when he looked at the ugly giant thing in front of him.
"Did these people all die from Qingqianliu and have all their souls and souls sucked away by Yinqian?"
"The blood on the bodies of those two people has not yet dried. They must have died not long ago!"
Jin An quickly analyzed the situation at hand.
At this moment, he was holding two yellow talismans. At this moment, he felt eight or nine pairs of evil eyes looking towards him.
But the huge sarcoma tree root in front of me was obviously motionless.
Jin An is sure!
Those eight or nine pairs of evil gazes came from the eight or nine strange corpses that were entangled like tree roots in front of them!
However.
These ugly and entangled strange corpses always have their eyes closed and never open them.
The scene in front of me was as strange as these monster corpses that remained motionless but could bite people, and the atmosphere began to become strange.
"Five thunders of pure Yang! The righteousness of heaven and earth! What kind of evil spirit dares to spy on me?"
Holding the Five Thunder Evil-Slaying Talisman, Jin An Hun'er looked at the ugly and twisted corpse with brave and unyielding eyes.
Only then did the evil look in his eyes disappear.
The strange corpse with eight or nine human faces returned to calmness, as if it was really just an ordinary corpse.
But these twisted, intertwined monster corpses are anything but ordinary.
But Jin An discovered that at night, there were more and more frightened screams and desperate cries coming from more and more places. His expression changed, and his soul floated high, passing through the roof tiles.
An unobstructed view of Chang County at your feet.
At this time, people were dying everywhere in Chang County.
Monsters twisted like tree roots were born everywhere.
There is a strong evil wind in Chang County. This evil wind comes from the Qing Qian Liu Yin Qian scattered in the hands of most people in Chang County.
It seems that they were stimulated, and the dirty money was no longer hidden at this time. The people of Changxian County who had the dirty money in their hands died suddenly! The three souls and seven souls of the people were directly absorbed by the dirty money in their hands in an instant!
Then they become entangled with each other and become monster corpses!
Overnight, it is estimated that more than 30% to 40% of the people in Chang County, with a population of over 10,000, died!
But more people in Changxian County died of those weird corpses twisted like tree roots amidst desperate wailing sounds! Then those weird corpses twisted like tree roots grew stronger!
From two corpses to three…to six…to twenty corpses with limbs and torsos tightly wrapped around each other!
There were wailings and desperate screams everywhere, and more and more places started to catch fire, but the government was unable to put out the fires in time due to lack of manpower. As a result, the fires spread rapidly in these wooden structure houses, and there were raging seas of flames everywhere in Chang County.
Tonight, Chang County falls!
Jin An clenched his finger bones and looked at the fallen Chang County with sentimental eyes.
The more he wants to do something!
But the more I feel the unwillingness to be powerless!
To the final discovery!
I can't do anything myself!
In the face of a catastrophic disaster involving an entire city and a place, his smug progress was not even qualified to block the car with his hands.
Just then, boom! Boom! Boom!
There were the marching footsteps of Yin soldiers taking advantage of the passage, the earth-shattering footsteps like the beating of war drums, the clanging of armors, passing through walls and houses, and killing in the direction of Wen Mo Temple with murderous intent.
At the same time, in the direction of Man Mo Temple, Jin An saw the awe-inspiring light of a scholar reading articles from all over the world, soaring into the sky!
It's Mr. Yiyun!
Jin An recognized him at a glance.
Are the female corpse in the white coffin and Mr. Yiyun trying their best to save the world?
…
"Ding Hai restrains my soul! Ding You restrains my soul! Ding Wei restrains me from disaster!"
"Jiawu guards my soul! Jiachen suppresses my spirit! Jiayin cultivates my truth!"
The aura of the Twelve Shintos on the Liuding Liujia Talisman warmed Jin'an's soul and stabilized Jin'an's will. At this moment, Jin An's will was no longer wavering, his eyes were decisive, and he had already made a decision.
Next, Jin'an's wandering soul quickly returned to its shell.
After returning to his soul body again, Jin An immediately took out the Five Thunder Evil-Destroying Talisman that he had spent a thousand Yin De to seal once. With a decisive look on his brows, he said without hesitation: "Seal it!"
As the majestic rhyme of the sound of the avenue sounded, the familiar tide of the avenue appeared.
When the tide of the avenue subsided, Jin An felt a different feeling of palpitations than before from the Five Thunder Diagram of the Five Thunder Evil-Slaying Talisman in his hand.
Jin An took a deep breath: "Edict!"
He didn't hesitate at all and sealed it three times!
The Great Tide appeared again, and this time it lasted a little longer than the previous times. After the Great Tide dissipated, when Jin An looked at the Five Thunder Evil-Slaying Talisman in his hand, his temples jumped.
He felt as if he was not holding a yellow talisman, but a thunder pool that could turn him into ashes.
And in this thunder pool, there are endless thunders stirring up the sky, and the power of the gods is brilliant.
Even if his soul was not in an out-of-body state at the moment, Jin An could feel that the Pure Yang Five Thunder Diagrams on this Five Thunder Evil-Slaying Talisman were constantly washing away the impurities of his thoughts, making his soul purer, more condensed, and stronger.
It actually has the effect of soul training?
This is definitely an unexpected surprise!
Qi-watching technique, Yin De—
two.
This is a move back to before liberation. In the past few days, all the evil virtues of killing paper and stabbing people, Monk Pu Zhi, and harvesting wool and green money willow have all been thrown at this Five Thunder Evil Evil Talisman.
I don’t know if Zhao Zhaozhong had his own providence. The second imperial conferment was for two thousand Yin De, and the third imperial conferment was for Three Thousand Yin De. The Yin De he gained in the past few days was just enough.
Putting aside these distracting thoughts for the time being, Jin An did not dare to delay. He left his body again, his soul floated to a high place, and he looked back at his residence.
Because he originally wanted to practice martial arts quietly, he specifically chose a remote and secluded place, so the commotion had not spread to his residence at this time.
And the riots in other directions were still some distance away from his residence.
This allowed Jin An to have less worries for the time being. In order to save time, he rushed to Wenwu Temple as soon as possible to support the female corpse in the white coffin and Mr. Yiyun. He didn't know what the battle situation was over there, so Jin An directly chose to leave the body and rush on his way.
Afterwards, the wandering soul ran at full speed towards the Man Mo Temple.
Although Jin An always said that he would run away and protect himself wisely, when it happened before his own eyes, he was still unable to be hard-hearted and indifferent to watch the tragic deaths of people all over the city without being moved.
He also cannot be like those deep-seated old monsters who only care about gains, losses and interests in everything.
Life is alive.
But I hope you have a clear conscience and clear thoughts.
At this moment, Jin An's eyes were firm and brave, and he was advancing without retreating. The divine aura that Hun'er sensed from the Six Ding Liujia Talisman and the Five Thunder Evil Killing Talisman was getting stronger and stronger, his thoughts became smoother and smoother, and Hun'er's body was full of energy.
Comfortable, Shenhun Avenue has gone a step further.
