Chang'an: Qinglian Sword Song

Chapter 32 Chapter [-] Darkness
While he was thinking about this guy's

There was another low-pitched roar in the distance.

The man in black slowly climbed up to the high platform, and after attracting many attentions, the noisy voice sounded again soon.Even Xun Qing couldn't help getting up, with an excited expression, and bowed his hands together with the crowd to salute.

"Who is that?" Li Bai asked.

"That's Mr. Wuya." Xun Qing couldn't hide his excitement, and whispered, "Wei Wuya, Mr. Wei!"

Ten years earlier, he has been famous as a great organ master in Chang'an. He is a legendary figure who is proficient in 96 different organ techniques.

It can be described as high weight.

At this moment, after seeing Xun Qing and the others here, he walked over directly, looked at the organist in front of him, and asked solemnly: "Xun Qing, I heard that you also participated in the Fangzhu election?"

"Yes." Xun Qing bowed his head, his voice was a little nervous, "Student is taking the liberty."

Wei Wuya nodded slightly, and did not criticize harshly, but praised him after hearing the words: "Since you have inherited the title of Lord Daoxuan, you have to work harder, don't slack off."

"Yes!" Xun Qing became even more excited, his face flushed.

After chatting with Xun Qing for a few words, he looked at Li Bai and cupped his hands: "I am disrespectful to the Immortal."

"Duke Wei has won the prize."

Li Bai returned the salute calmly, "Poetry is not worth mentioning."

Although he came from a noble background, Wei Wuya has no airs at all, nor is he proud of being a mechanism master.Unlike other people who regard Li Bai as an arrogant person, on the contrary, he respects and appreciates his poems and essays.

After chatting for a few words, he left under the guard of Yu Hengsi's other organ divisions.

Climb up the steps and step onto the high platform.

"It's about to start."

Xun Qing fidgeted on the chair and looked up, excitedly: "The ritual of entering the workshop!"

Li Bai followed his gaze, but suddenly heard the sound of a low-pitched horn, and under the high platform, the ceremonies and music were played loudly.

"The time has come, the order of the square has changed!"

The envoy from Weiyang Palace delivered the ruler's will.At the front of the high platform, Wei Wuya, who was about to step on the sea of ​​clouds, nodded slightly, and pulled out a pure white jade flute from his sleeve.

In his hand, the simple-looking jade flute trembled slightly, and it unexpectedly began to grow and change rapidly, revealing a complicated internal structure, which became completely different in the blink of an eye.

In an instant, everything was silent, and then there was a clear flute sound rising from the sea of ​​clouds, echoing in all directions like a long whale song.

At the moment when Li Bai was stunned, he felt the low hum from under his feet, as if the whole Chang'an was responding to the sound of the flute.

The sea of ​​clouds is sweeping!

The white clouds rolled up into a rage, and amidst the exclamation of countless people, a huge shadow emerged from under the sea of ​​clouds.

The earth is shaking.

From the joint performance of the mechanism division and Chang'an!
At this moment, countless organ rhythms are unified under the sound of the flute, and everything is in order. Thousands of organs are running loudly under the earth, playing an unprecedented magnificent sound.

It's like... sounds of nature!
Feeling the continuous shock coming from under his feet, Li Bai fell into a daze, but subconsciously widened his eyes, and then saw, the dragon and snake take off the land!

The whole world is spinning.

On both sides of the huge gap, the huge gears began to rotate again, countless sparks shot out, the machine springs flew, and the huge swinging arms were lifted from the sea of ​​clouds.

Dragging the gradually emerging huge shadow, it slowly closed towards the gap.

It was as if an island had emerged from the clouds!

Booming up from the endless deep sea, following Chang'an's operation, it slowly approached the huge city with the sound of the flute.

Under the sun, the white clouds lined up, revealing a majestic silhouette.

Not only Wei Wuya's host here, but also in Chang'an's transmission layer, in the abandoned area under the sea of ​​clouds, in Weiyang Palace, and in every place in Chang'an, the organists from Yuheng Division are intensively investigating, testing and promoting the operation of each institution.

To ensure the smooth operation of Xinshengfang City.

Using manpower to control an unprecedentedly huge mechanism, this jaw-dropping feat was accomplished!
At this moment, the majestic outline gradually became clear in the cloud that was surging like a tide.Slowly approaching the high platform, it is like a whole mountain range is moving towards Chang'an.

When the dormant Chang'an was revived by the new Fangshi, it seemed that the whole world was spinning along with it.

Everything is like dust.

"This is... Fangshi?"

Li Bai's heart fluttered and he couldn't hold himself back.

"It's just a blank." Xun Qing clenched his fist excitedly, and explained to Li Bai in a low voice: "Look, its interior is actually quite empty, and there are no buildings on it. It will take at least ten days. Only then can it be extended there, and then it will be able to truly connect to Chang'an through the matrix and become a real square city."

While everyone was amazed and cheering, the newly-born square blank was perfectly integrated into the structure of Chang'an, and the original huge gap was no longer visible.

There is not even a joint or gap on the ground, it is a seamless one.

After Honglu Temple lifted the blockade, I don't know how many people excitedly poured into it, touching and watching.Xun Qing's expression twitched for a while, and he almost rushed up to stop those guys, shouting 'don't touch my Fangshi'.

Li Bai next to him shook his head secretly.

This guy, probably already regards Fangzhu as his own...

With the completion of the transfer of Fangshi, all the mechanics were relieved.But at the front of the high platform, Wei Wuya stared at the new Fangshi in front of him, frowning slightly.

"Wei Gong, what's the matter?" Yu Hengsi's mechanism engineer asked in a low voice: "But what's wrong with it?"

"No, it's not. It's smoother than expected." Wei Wuya pondered, "It's just that, for some reason, I feel that Chang'an's response is a bit sluggish."

"Chang'an's operation has its own rules. Maybe the cooperation in other places is slow, which makes the response of the transmission layer lag a little bit."

"Also a possibility."

Wei Wuya thought for a moment, then suddenly asked: "Have you done the in-depth inspection this year?"

"According to the director's wishes, a special one was carried out five days ago, and everything is normal."

"I'm still a little worried, you submit an application, I want to check again in a deeper place."

The subordinate nodded and took the order to leave.

Wei Wuya watched for a while by himself, and when he turned his head, the streets were full of laughter.

But when he thought of the many mechanism masters who died in Chang'an City in the past few days, he felt a little uneasy, and it flooded his heart.

On the way back, Xun Qing was still excitedly describing the scene to Lixiang just now, the sunrise in the sea of ​​clouds, the entry of the city into the city, mixed with some theories and data among the organists and a large number of professions that were completely incomprehensible noun.

But the order was out of order, and Lixiang was in a fog, and I didn't understand what happened at all.

He turned his head helplessly, smiled wryly at Li Bai, and cast a 'gaze' for help.

Li Bai shook his head, changed the subject and asked, "It's so rare that you don't even go to dinner."

"I don't think it's good to eat. A group of people talk a lot, don't speak human words, and if they shake their chopsticks a little, they will go back and laugh for a long time. Do I speak well and everyone will give way to me? What a waste of time."

Xun Qing shook his head nonchalantly: "It's rare that we are all free, let's go to the Deyi Building in Dongshi to have a good meal!"

"mutton?"

Li Bai's eyes lit up: "It must taste good with the misty wine."

"Drinks are at your own expense, thank you!"

Xun Qing said angrily: "This is for Li Xiang's birthday, don't you want to get drunk?"

"Then let's have two cups of frozen mash."

"no!"

"Daigo?" Li Bai discussed, "There must be a poem for a birthday, right? Where does poetry come from without wine!"

"Hey, you bastard..."

"Why don't I treat you?" Li Xiang interrupted suddenly, and Li Bai turned around in surprise.

The boy smiled and patted the heavy inner pocket on his chest: "The monthly money has just been issued recently, so I should be the richest."

"No, keep your money and don't spend it recklessly. You will save it for a wife in the future..." Before Xun Qing finished speaking, he saw Li Xiang take out the money bag and stuff it into Li Bai's hand.

"At least for wine, let me buy it." The young man holding a pipa persistently suggested: "Just give me a glass."

"One cup, these are enough."

Li Bai opened the purse, squeezed out a small piece of silver from it, stuffed the rest back into Li Xiang's hands, and smiled proudly at Xun Qing: "Exchanging orchids for wine money, spreading the word, is also elegant."

Xun Qing was stunned: "Didn't you not allow others to pay for your meals?"

"It's different!" Li Bai answered naturally.

"You bastard...you've really become powerful."

"Is there?" Li Bai was puzzled.

Maybe, maybe not.

Where is it different from the original, but after all, it is no different from the boy I saw for the first time.

Xun Qing didn't know how to answer. After a long time, he couldn't help shaking his head and smiling helplessly.

"Cut... Be more polite." He turned his head and urged Li Xiang: "Let him write seven or eight more songs for you later, and if he can't finish playing, save up and publish this collection, we will not lose."

"Haha, only seven or eight songs are too few. If you want me to say, seventeen or eight songs are fine."

Li Bai walked in front holding the broken silver, as if he could already smell the sweet wine at the tip of his nose.

Be happy.

On weekdays, the fine wine sent by so many people is almost piled up like a mountain, but it is far less enjoyable than the wine exchanged for this little silver.

People come and go in the East City, and there are countless signboards hanging among the high-rise buildings.

It seems that all the treasures in the world are piled up in the endless shops, and the rare treasures in other places in the past are placed on the street and sold loudly, making people dazzled.

In order to attract business, the rich merchants also spent a lot of money and invited dancers and singing girls to be present on the high platform in front of the door.Others simply innovated and bought a flower boat to hang a banner of their own home and cruise on a fixed track in the sky.

And more of them are bulk export and wholesale. What is displayed in the shop is just a sample.

It is said that there are tens of millions of gold in the daily turnover of the two commercial squares in the east and west.

Prosperous and prosperous, crowned as the most in Chang'an.

In the crowded crowd, everyone's face was filled with excitement and anticipation.And the restaurant business here is booming as well.

If it weren't for Xun Qing's status as a mechanism master, and if Li Bai, the recently famous exile, was not there, he might not be able to book a seat.

The waiter graciously welcomed them to the box upstairs, and after a while, a mutton pot with thick soup was brought up. After sprinkling a handful of spices, the aroma became even more tempting.

As soon as he started to move his chopsticks, Xun Qing completely forgot that it was to celebrate Li Xiang's birthday, and stuffed his mouth like a hamster, always reminiscent of the action of a fat pig.

Li Bai was helpless for a while, and the poetic quality that had been brewing for a long time was lost.

But poetry is not as important as mutton.

Seeing that this guy was about to scoop up all the mutton just off the pot, he immediately rolled up his sleeves and joined the battlefield.

On the contrary, Li Xiang was sitting beside him, smiling and listening to their bickering.

Holding a small wine glass in his hand.

Unaccustomed to the pungent taste of wine, sniffing the fragrance in the cup, the originally pale face became much rosier.

Seeing that he was not moving, Xun Qing stuffed a bowl full and came over: "Eat quickly, don't eat too much, how can you have the strength to play the pipa, maybe you will become the number one luthier in Chang'an City in the future, and you will still be as tall as now, daughter-in-law It's hard to find."

"It's my birthday, why do you just patronize and eat it?" Li Bai reminded: "At least say a few words."

"Yes, Li Xiang, say a few words!"

"...I don't know what to say." Li Xiang waved his hands a little embarrassedly, "Then I wish Brother Xun Qing the success in being elected as the workshop owner."

"I love to hear that!" Xun Qing laughed triumphantly.

"I also wish Mr. Li Bai to pay off the debts of Dali Temple as soon as possible."

Li Bai was stunned: "Why are you so frustrated when you come to me!"

"Otherwise Master Di will send Yuan Fang to collect the bill again." Li Xiang suppressed a smile, and was about to say something, when his expression became confused, he turned his head in puzzlement, and turned his ear to the back.

"What's wrong?" Xun Qing was puzzled.

"What a strange sound."

The young man murmured softly, "It's like..."

Before the words fell, the roar suddenly burst out.

The entire Deyi Building was shaken suddenly, the wooden planks that were originally erected as partitions were instantly shattered, and a scalp-numbing silhouette emerged in the next cubicle.

Destroy the cannon!

The siege weapon that only appears in large-scale wars, equipped with energy storage crystals, is an energy turret specially built for conquering crystal defense towers in wars!

At this moment, after the two wheels were dismantled, it was quietly transported into Chang'an City, and even erected next to them, with the pitch-black cannon aimed at their location.

After a long period of energy storage, in an instant, a group of dazzling electric light was released.

The hasty change, Li Bai only had time to overturn the table, pressing Xun Qing and Li Xiang to the ground, and then he heard ear-piercing roars flying over his head, tearing the floor, flying to the sky outside, and slowly dissipating into A fine beam of light.

Amidst the falling bricks and the terrified screams of pedestrians, Li Bai suddenly raised his head, and through the rising dust, he saw the astonished assailant behind the gun carriage.

As if they didn't expect them to be able to escape such a sudden attack, they lowered their heads and began to activate the crystal frantically, wanting to fire again.

But the sword energy had already swayed, splitting the cannon carriage in an instant.

The inner crystal exploded in an instant, the air wave overturned the attacker, and the hood fell from his head, revealing an ugly face covered with scars and burn marks.

His eyes were as cold as a ghost.

As if knowing that he was no match, he pulled out a folding crossbow and pulled the trigger repeatedly at Li Xiang and Xun Qing. When Li Bai blocked him, he turned over and fell into the crowd along the zipline outside the window. In an instant, it was mixed into the sea of ​​people.

"Want to run? Dream!"

Li Bai shattered the floor that was in the way with his sword, stepped on the eaves, street lamps and signboards on both sides of the street, and moved closer to the figure who was quickly leaving in the crowd.

When the assailant in the crowd thought he had escaped and looked back triumphantly in the distance, he saw Li Bai galloping towards him in mid-air, and couldn't help but change his face.

The ugly face covered with scars twitched, and the speed of escape accelerated further.After taking a few steps, he jumped with all his strength, climbed up to the top of the wall, overcame the wall, and rushed into the courtyard behind.

There was a sound of exclamation.

Without thinking too much, Li Bai knocked open the door of the yard, and saw a guy sitting slumped on the ground, with a bucket full of bacon in his hand on the ground, staring at him dully.

"Where is the guy who rushed in?" Li Bai asked anxiously.

The guy panicked and pointed to the back. At the end of the yard, there was a wide open door.When Li Bai rushed out the door, there was no one in the narrow alley.

But there are still footsteps going away quickly in the distance.

With a voice of gold and iron?
Li Bai kept walking, climbed up the wall, and ran towards the sound, and finally saw the back of the man who was about to break out of Dongshi.

Seeing Li Bai relentlessly chasing him, he looked around in panic, and even jumped more than ten feet out of thin air, jumping over the high wall between the square and the city!
When the cumbersome robe was blown by the wind, you can see the pair of steel prosthetics tied to his legs!
It was like another skeleton, connected to the bracket and the spring. With his movements, there was a huge force between retraction and retraction, just like an iron flea.

Can run like this? !
Li Bai was slightly stunned, no wonder this guy dared to assassinate him in the downtown... But who gave him the confidence to run away?
He kept on stepping on the raised eaves, crossed a distance of more than ten feet, reached out and grabbed the edge of the high wall to turn over, and saw the figure dodging the mechanical carriage in a panic on the busy Suzaku Avenue.

Unexpectedly, Li Bai could catch up so quickly, the assailant staggered, and was almost smashed into a pulp by a whizzing mechanical carriage.

He panicked and rushed to the bridge at the end of the road, even jumped over the fence.

He resolutely jumped onto the roof of the speeding Xi car.

In the violent concussion, he rolled over in embarrassment, grabbed the bulge that Xi Che was staring at desperately, laughed and turned around, looking at the bridge behind him, but saw Li Bai's figure also leaping down at the same time.

It lightly landed on the end of Xi's car.

look at him.

Poker face.

"That's it."

Li Bai pressed the hilt of his sword and warned in a cold voice: "If you run again, I won't keep my hand."

The corners of the attacker's eyes twitched wildly, and soon he showed a ferocious expression, and turned around suddenly to buckle the crossbow at Li Bai.

But the voice in the chamber was empty.In order to ensure portability and concealment, this folding crossbow can only be loaded with three crossbow arrows at a time.The moment he reacted, he shook his hand suddenly, threw the crossbow at Li Bai's face, turned around and wanted to jump off the Xi chariot.

Not afraid of falling to pieces.

The body of the crossbow disintegrated in mid-air, and the sword light rushed in, splitting his palm, and cutting off the steel skeleton on his legs like a bamboo.

The strength supporting his jump disappeared instantly.

Falling to the railroad tracks below.

The moment he screamed in shock, a hand stretched out, grabbed his back collar, and hung him precariously on the edge of Xi's car.

"Who asked you to come?"

Li Bai asked coldly: "Say!"

"I... I... I don't know!"

The face covered with scars twitched violently, and soon screamed hoarsely: "You kill me, I will not let you go even if I become a ghost."

Li Bai let go indifferently, and the body of the attacker fell from the Xi car, screaming in horror.

But when he fell completely, he was pulled up by Li Bai again.

He cursed sharply, roared in horror, and screamed, but snot and tears flowed down his face, and he couldn't cry.

"I'll ask again, who sent you here!"

Li Bai warned: "For a villain like you, I don't have a good temper. You won't have a second chance!"

"I-I really don't know!"

The assailant cries, not having the courage again: "The employer is anonymous and the things are prepared by them... I really don't know."

Li Bai stared at his face, and could not see anything from that frightened face.

Not a lie.

He threw the attacker back on the roof of Xi's car, and was about to say something.But as Xi Che made a sharp turn on the track, a dark tunnel rushed towards him.

In an instant, everything was engulfed by the blackness like ink, and cold laughter like hallucinations came from the strong wind.
