Taishang Xuanyuan Lamp Tower is more than 150 feet tall, staying on top of it, overlooking the entire Chang’an City. It’s a pity that at night, there is smoke around and nothing can be seen. Zhang Xiaojing felt quite regretful. It was so rare to climb so high that he still failed to take a last look at this city that he did his best to protect.
There were fireworks around and dense smoke, and the main body of the lamphouse below had been completely reduced to the sea of fire, and the hot breath was tumbling. At this time, the top of the lamp tower is the only pure land that has not been completely occupied by flames. Zhang Xiaojing leaned his head softly against the paddle under the cross frame, tilting his head, but his heart was calm for a while.
Nineteen years ago, he also leaned on the flagpole of Fengsui City in this way, waiting quietly for the upcoming ending. Nineteen years later, fate reincarnate again. Only this time, there will be no more reinforcements.
Zhang Xiaojing thought so confused, and suddenly felt the light tower under him, seemed to tremble slightly, and then made a deep roar.
The Longchi in Xingqing Palace is an extremely special scenery in Chang’an City.
As early as the year of Emperor Wuhou, this is just a common square in Wannian County, called Longqing Square. There was a well in Longqingfang, which suddenly spewed for no reason, and the water was crazy, and a few acres of land was submerged overnight. At sunrise, there is often fog and the scenery is extremely beautiful. Chang’an City’s hope-seeking people think that this is a good place for feng shui, and there are more private rumors in the workshop, saying that Shuibo is a dragon. So members of the Li clan moved to live next to this water, including the current Saint Li Longji.
Later, Tian Zi Jian Zuo changed the name of Longqing Pool to Longchi to show the sign of Longxing. This time, the clansmen beside Long Chi didn’t dare to live for long, and offered their residences one after another. Emperor Tianzi took Longchi as the core and merged several squares to build the Xingqing Palace. Because Longchi was covered with Dize, it was expanded many times to form an extremely wide lake. The waves are vast and the boat can be painted. There are countless pavilions along the coast. Peonies, lotus flowers and weeping willows have been planted, and many birds have been raised.
The Longchi Lake is the Qinzheng Government Building and the Huacai Xianghui Building, which are within a hundred steps of each other. At this time, the diligent government affairs building was brilliantly lit and lively, and the banquet was in full swing. In contrast to Longchi, only a few lanterns were hanged along the banks of Agarwood Pavilion, Long Pavilion, etc., to make embellishments, and most of the lake surface was dark and quiet.
A red-crowned crane stands on a rockery in the lake, hiding its head in its wings and sleeping deeply. Suddenly, he suddenly lifted his long neck and looked around cautiously. It was dark all around, and there was no abnormality. But the crane shook his quiver uncomfortably, and flew his wings across the water, leaving.
Click.
Just where the crane had just settled, a rock on the rockery became loose. These stones are all strange stones found in the depths of Zhongnan Mountain. They have different shapes and are stacked together by craftsmen at an ingenious angle. They are not firmly connected to each other. After a while, the stone moved again, and was pushed away by force.
A black hole appeared on the rockery, and the wet Xiao Xiao got out of the hole with the cat’s waist, and the eyes on both sides of the eagle’s nose showed excitement. This is Xingqing Palace, the core of Datang and the hub of Chang’an. The people who are fortunate enough to enter here are very few, but now he is among them.
The rockery was very close to the shore, and Xiao Gui was cautiously lying on the edge of the mountain, looking around. There is no military ban in this area, and Long Wujun ’s attention is all placed on the peripheral vigilance of the diligent government building, South Square, and Xingqing Palace. No one will pay special attention to such a wide and unimportant place as Longchi.
After Xiao Gui confirmed the safety, he learned a low cricket scream at the black hole. Soon more than twenty elite soldiers emerged from the black hole. They were all wearing tight-fitting fish skins and leaning against their heads, with a tarpaulin bag on their heads, and they were all covered with stern murderousness.
In order to facilitate the power operation of Taishang Xuanyuan Lamp Building, Mao Shun led the water source from Taozheng Square to Taishang Xuan Yuan Lamp Building, but such a large amount of water must find a place for excretion. It is too troublesome to build another drainage channel alone, and draining directly into Longchi is the best choice. The Longchi is both deep and wide, and it doesn’t matter to accommodate this amount of water.
For Tianzi, for the thickening of Longchi’s water potential, he was happy to see its success, so this project was passed. Although Long Wujun is a senior veteran guard, they formed a mindset and stared at the dry place of the porch, but they could not have imagined that the drainage channel that penetrated into the large area was actually used by the earthworm.
Xiao Gui took these two dozen people into the lake, swam a dozen steps while holding a tarpaulin, and set foot on the shore made of pebbles. The pebbles are of average size, but it takes a lot of time to pick them up. Xiao Gui tweeted and found a secret space between several willow trees and bushes.
Twenty people took off the water, opened the tarpaulin, and took out the crossbow machine parts and sharp blades. In the quiet Liulin, there was a loud clacking assembly sound, but no one spoke at all.
Xiao Gui finished assembling first. He lifted the crossbow machine and aimed a shot at the willow tree in front. The crossbow arrow was directly nailed into the trunk, leaving only the wing tail. Xiao Gui nodded with satisfaction, it seemed that the spring had not failed in water. Immediately they will see the emperor, if the crossbow machine made a mistake, it would be too rude.
He was about to stop, walked to the edge of the bush, opened the willow branch and looked south. Looking over the city wall, you can see that the towering light tower has become a huge torch, and the blazing flames are rising from every body. The twenty-four fireballs are still turning around. Master Maoshun’s handwriting is durable and extraordinary.
The plan is progressing smoothly, I believe the fish intestines have also been killed. Unfortunately, I don’t know where Zhang Xiaojing is now, whether he has safely withdrawn to the Hydraulic Palace. But this thought only stayed in Xiao Gu’s mind for a moment. Now that he is in the Xingqing Palace, he is about to do a major event that no one has ever done.
“Big head, let me see, how did I avenge Wen Wuji.” Xiao Gui murmured secretly.
At this time, Taishang Xuanyuan Denglou made a deep roar, and it seemed that something had burst from the inside. “It’s starting!” Xiao Gui’s eyes widened and he looked forward expectantly. The subordinates around them also clustered around the open space, holding their breaths and looking away.
After a few fingers, I saw a ball of light that was ten times as bright as the surrounding flame, bursting from the middle of the lamphouse. The angry Que Lehuo stretched his limbs from the inside and stretched out a giant hand. The entire lamp tower was instantly torn by the waist and cut into two pieces. The huge body twisted into a shocking shape in the air, and the skeleton was vaguely visible. Over the Xingqing Palace, there was an upsurge. The sound of a thunderbolt swept all around, and the sound of countless startling birds suddenly sounded on the surface of Longchi Lake, and countless sleeping birds rose into the air.
But at this time, no one would put their eyes on them. At the breaking point of the lamp tower, the tumbling red flames and smoke clouds radiated frantically around, and the peony bloomed like a vermilion. In just an instant, the adjacent Qinzheng government building, Cacao Xianghui Building and South Square were engulfed.
At this moment, Chang’an City changed from hustle and bustle to silence. Whether it is the lantern-watching people in Yanshou Square, the nobles who had dinner in the original tour, the monks and Taoists who practiced in the ancestral halls, the Hu merchants drinking and dancing in Dongshi, or the busy Jingan officials in Guangdefang Raised his head in an instant. The dark night sky was stabbed by a sudden light. Then the whole city seemed to be captured by the demon, and every light was dimmed at the same time.
Xiao Gui grabbed Liu Shao tightly, shaking with excitement. After so long and painstaking efforts, the earthworms finally shook the towering tree. Those pains he had suffered in those years should also be tasted by those guys.
But he suddenly discovered that it didn’t seem right! The Tianshu of the Taishang Xuanyuan Denglou really exploded, but the power of the explosion was far less than Xiao Xiao expected.
You know, Que Lehuo ’s most important means of killing is not fire, but the impact of an instant burst, which is invisible and qualityless, but it is enough to destroy the strongest city wall. According to the previous calculations, the loading of those stone resins will make the lamp tower crack up and down, and the impact will be enough to level the neighboring diligent government building to the ground. But now, Taishang Xuanyuan Light Tower is just cut off by the waist. It looks like fireworks are rolling, the momentum is vigorous, but the lethality is greatly reduced.
This explosion method showed that the Tianshu explosion was not complete, only detonating the middle section. Xiao Gui opened his eyes wide and saw that the tall figure of the diligent and administrative affairs building was still in the smoke. It was not lightly blown up, but the main structure remained intact.
“Damn, is it wrong?” Xiao Gui gritted his teeth and severely broke the willow branch in his hand.
Shortly afterwards, the upper half of the structure of the lamphouse made a whimper that was pressed to the limit, completely detached from the deformed base, and fell obliquely towards the Xingqing Palace. These half-burning high-rise buildings are more than seventy feet high, with an unparalleled sense of oppression, so they roared down from the heights and fell down, not much more than Taishan pressure.
