Eternal Night

Chapter 48 Brilliant

"...No, the little mute is dead. I buried him with my own hands..."

"No, those are the little mute's eyes! I see them clearly!"

"But she's dead!"

"Maybe he's alive again. This is the baseline reality 0.7 world. It's normal to have supernatural powers and extraordinary powers!"

"But even if he's alive, there won't be so many guards and maids serving him. Wake up, that's not a little mute!"

"I need to confirm!"

"You are looking for trouble! God knows who this girl is. She looks either rich or noble. And you are still guarding time in this ancient world where you are unfamiliar with."

"I need to confirm it!!"

"What about Yamade and Xu Shilan!?"

There seemed to be two voices arguing in Wu Xianxiao's mind. Just as he was about to take a step forward, the faces of Yamadea and Xu Shilan flashed through his mind.

At this moment, he retracted his steps, took a deep look at the sedan chair, turned around and jumped off the high wall.

Jiujiu flew in the air and wailed for a long time, but the person in the sedan chair did not come out. Jiujiu could only fly back to Wu Xianxiao.

At the same time, on the inner city tower far from the temple, a middle-aged man wearing red and yellow clothes, sitting on a rattan chair, narrowed his eyes slightly, pointed to the temple and said with a smile: "What a pervert."

A middle-aged man in purple clothes beside him said solemnly, "How dare you spy on the princess! How dare you! There are more and more playboys in Kaifeng Prefecture! Your Majesty, I will send someone to arrest him immediately!"

The official did not comment, but just smiled, and a man in Taoist robes on the other side laughed and said, "Why go to so much trouble? Today is the Lantern Festival, and we can't disturb the official's elegant mood. Let me show you what I can do."

The official nodded slightly, and the man in Taoist robe smiled and stretched out his hand, took out a piece of yellow paper from his sleeve, and drew something on the yellow paper with his fingers using the tea in front of him. Then he threw the yellow paper forward, and it flew several meters away from the gate tower, and then it turned into a scarlet bird, about half a meter long, with scarlet feathers with flame color, and flew towards the temple with a clear cry.

There were more than thirty people on the gate tower. Apart from the white-faced and beardless eunuchs and maids, there were more than a dozen officials wearing purple or scarlet clothes. Their faces changed slightly, and there was a haze in their eyes.

There were also several young men who were obviously not officials and had seats present. They looked at the red bird with meaningful eyes.

Only the officials' eyes were full of admiration.

On the other side, Wu Xianxiao jumped down from the high wall in disappointment and just walked back with his head down. However, when he had walked about ten meters away, he suddenly looked up towards the inner city and saw a scarlet bird swooping down. The closer it got, the bigger it became. In the blink of an eye, it covered an area of ​​ten meters above him. The scarlet bird turned into a giant firebird, spread its wings and swooped down.

"what!"

Wu Xianxiao was both shocked and angry. Seeing the huge firebird swooping down, the raging flames had already reached his head. Jiujiu was the first to not be able to withstand the high temperature and fell from his shoulder. He did not care about anything else and let out a wild roar.

The next moment, all the Chinese martial arts energy and blood gathered in his dantian, while the human immortal martial arts energy and blood filled his skin and flesh. He squatted slightly, with his hands hanging naturally, and in an instant the energy gathered in his dantian. Although he did not assume the lotus sitting posture, all the strength of his body had already gathered in his dantian. At the moment when the firebird rushed in front of him, his roar was accompanied by all his strength. His palms flew into the air and hit the firebird's head in an instant.

The imagined scene of flame explosion and bursting did not happen. The firebird turned out to be a silver spear candle head. It immediately shattered and turned into sparks when touched by his palms. The sea of ​​fire that seemed to be able to sweep across an area of ​​dozens of meters also disappeared directly.

Wu Xianxiao's two palms attacked with almost all his strength, whether it was traditional Chinese martial arts or human immortal martial arts, all his strength was concentrated in it, and he even used the lotus sitting force to burst it out in the form of virtual elixir force. The power at this moment was so enormous that as soon as the firebird dispersed, his two palms went forward and hit the high wall directly.

The wall was nearly five meters high and two palms wide, but it was blown up by Wu Xianxiao's attack, directly creating a big gap. The force had not yet dissipated, and the broken bricks were directly destroyed dozens of meters away. Although they no longer had much power, they still made the guards at the sedan chair scream for their parents.

Wu Xianxiao was a little dazed for a moment. He didn't understand why such a terrifying firebird, which looked like a small fuel-air bomb, was only slightly hot when it landed on his palm, and then disappeared just like that?
He was stunned for a few seconds, and saw servants in the distance approaching with swords and guns. Dozens of guards ran in from the main gate of the temple and surrounded him as if they were facing a great enemy. He was a little at a loss for a moment, and said hurriedly: "Just now a fire demon, no, a bird demon, no, a fire bird demon attacked me, and I was forced to fight back, I..."

The guards didn't listen to what Wu Xianxiao said at all. They all acted as if they were facing a great enemy. Wu Xianxiao even saw some guards with crossbows running in from a distance. He didn't dare to delay any longer. He turned around and picked up the dazed Jiujiu lying on the ground, then turned around and ran back.

The guards were all stunned. They had been prepared for a bloody battle, but they didn't expect that the murderer who broke the high wall with one palm would just turn around and run away?
After being stunned for a few seconds, the guards shouted and followed him out.

Instead, the person in the sedan was stunned for a long time, and then suddenly burst into laughter.

On the other side, more than ten people in the inner city were silent. After a long time, the man in Taoist robes suddenly bowed to the official and said, "Official, I think this man has a demonic aura. Please allow me to chase him and take a look."

The emperor nodded in agreement and said, "Master, don't be anxious. If it is just a wild spirit in the mountains, just let it live and give it a light punishment."

The Taoist lowered his head, turned around and left the gate tower.

After the Taoist priest left for a while, a purple-robed official suddenly said, "Your Majesty, the Taoist priest is lowly and unreasonable. Moreover, Guo Jing is narrow-minded. He really cannot be in the court."

The official was not angry, but just smiled cheerfully and said, "Use his talent... Everyone, do you know where this man came from?"

All the officials were in deep thought. An official with a resolute face said, "His blood is too strong to be human. Although there is a little demonic energy, it is not emitted from his body. His bloodline should be pure human. However, it is not the evil spirit in the army that broke the Taoist magic. It is really hard to guess."

The emperor looked up at an old eunuch beside him. The eunuch did not say anything, but just nodded slightly and walked behind the gate. The emperor, the prince, and the ministers were all silent, just watching the prosperity of Bianliang. Not long after, the old eunuch came back and whispered a few words in the emperor's ear.

"The strange man among the Clay Buddha Yaksha?" the official said in surprise.

All the ministers were puzzled, but the two officials in red robes were stunned for a moment. When they saw the emperor's signal, they told the strange case on the spot.

"Nether Buddha, Yaksha?" All the ministers were murmuring. A purple-robed official said, "Look at this man with short hair and tight clothes. He looks quite exotic, but he speaks in the accent of our Song Dynasty. Could he be an alien from overseas?"

The ministers all had their own guesses, but none of them had any definite information. At this time, the emperor said, "Let's wait and see what the national teacher has done. Although the man was a little rude, he only looked at her from a distance. It's not a big crime. He is not very old. He is a young man. If he has a clean background, such a brave man is not suitable to live among the people."

All the ministers nodded in agreement.

They are extremely wary of Taoism and sorcery, but if it is just courage out of blood, then it doesn't matter. The north is in need of brave men right now. If this stranger has a heart to serve the country, then pardoning his crime of spying on the princess is not a big deal. After all, he just took a look from a distance in the temple.

On the other side, Wu Xianxiao ran quickly through the crowd. His body was so fast and slippery that he had shaken off the guards in just two streets. The guards did not chase him too much. After all, Wu Xianxiao had only broken the high wall of a temple and did not hurt or kill anyone. Secondly, if a murderer who broke the high wall became ruthless, they would not dare to chase him. So they gradually stopped while chasing him.

When Wu Xianxiao felt that there were no pursuers behind him, he slowly ran towards where Yamadea and Xu Shilan were. He soon saw the two of them standing in the crowd, watching the acrobatics with great interest.

When they saw Wu Xianxiao coming back, they both asked about the little mute.

Wu Xianxiao hesitated for a moment and said, "I only took a look from a distance, and I only saw the eyes... It looks very much like the little mute, but I'm not sure, and I buried the little mute with my own hands, so... I don't know either."

Yamade said casually: "Why don't you go up and take a closer look?"

Wu Xianxiao shook his head. It was not easy to explain in detail here. He said, "Let's exchange the gold first, and then find an inn or something to stay."

The two men nodded. Just as they were about to follow Wu Xianxiao, they were suddenly patted on the shoulders. They turned around at the same time and saw a young man with a sword case on his back smiling at them.

Wu Xianxiao's hair stood upside down instantly, and he twisted his feet and blocked the two of them. He whispered to them, "Run into the crowd, this guy is..."

Xu Shilan was the first to ask in surprise: "Chu Minghao, why is it you!?"

After hearing Xu Shilan's voice, Wu Xianxiao slowly relaxed his guard, and his whole body was already drenched in cold sweat.

Chu Minghao smiled cheerfully: "Long time no see, Miss Xu, and two human heroes, hello, I am Chu Minghao."

Yamade said casually: "Who? Maintenance personnel from other areas?"

"No, he's not a maintenance guy."

Xu Shilan had a complicated expression: "A seventh-level citizen, a person who is qualified to use the three major super brain assistants of mankind, a war hero in the Fourth World War, the ace of the ace of the mecha troops of the unified government of mankind, the strongest user of the Dragon Knight system, and the youngest presidential candidate... Chu Minghao."

Wu Xianxiao asked in a low voice: "Friend? Enemy? Or...enemy?"

Xu Shilan was stunned for a moment. She looked at Wu Xianxiao and said with a happy but also a depressed smile: "No, he is not an enemy, let alone an enemy. He is an idealistic fool, barely a good person, and also my college classmate, the man who almost became my marriage partner..."

She then said to Chu Minghao, "Why are you here? No, what I want to ask is, why were you able to wake up? Didn't they say that all citizens were trapped in the dream world, and only maintenance personnel could wake up?"

Chu Minghao looked like a young boy of about 17 or 18, and he smiled sincerely and heartily. He said with a smile, "It's a long story, and this is not the place to talk. Let's go to a restaurant to talk in detail... Don't worry, I'm here to help you."

Xu Shilan seemed to trust Chu Minghao very much. She also nodded to Wu Xianxiao and Yamade, and the two naturally agreed to go.

But after walking only two steps, Chu Minghao suddenly stopped. He looked at Wu Xianxiao, then looked into the distance, and said with a smile, "Wait for me for a few seconds."

Everyone was puzzled, and saw Chu Minghao suddenly slap the sword box behind him. In an instant, the world turned black and white. Everyone fell into stillness, even the fallen leaves stopped in mid-air. Everyone even lost their thoughts. Only the sleepless spirit in Wu Xianxiao's sea of ​​consciousness suddenly shone brightly. At the same time, the fragment of the yellow lotus worn on his neck also emitted bright light. The combination of the two allowed him to see everything clearly in this black and white world.

An indescribably bright sword light gushed out from the sword case, flashed away into the distance and returned in the blink of an eye. Amid the ringing sound of the sword case, the world regained its color.

Xu Shilan and Yamade were both confused and puzzled, only Wu Xianxiao had a look of horror and disbelief on his face.

And in the distance on the Imperial Street of the Imperial City, a Taoist who was galloping on his horse suddenly screamed and fell off his horse.

He touched his head and neck in horror for a long time. Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, the Taoist crown on his head suddenly cracked and fell off.

The Taoist looked at the Taoist crown.

The cracks are smooth as a mirror.
