Chang'an: Qinglian Sword Song

Chapter 47 Chapter Six Tomorrow
The heavens and the earth were in turmoil, and in the deep underground, thunder echoed one after another.

In the darkness, the huge silhouette spread out countless pairs of arms, as if grasping the gears of the world, pulling all things to rotate under their own will——

When this power enough to dominate the operation of Chang'an was displayed here, a terrifying storm and turmoil were set off.

In this way, peel off the blocking of the transmission layer, and go deep into the core of Chang'an bit by bit!

It's just a stone's throw away.

During the long wait, Lu Daoxuan heard the sound of cracking.

From behind him, the sound came from outside the blocked gate, and it gradually became clear until intertwined cracks emerged from the wall, and with the loud noise of the collapse, a faint light shone from outside the cracks.

He withdrew his gaze from the abyss, looked behind him, and looked down indifferently.

"Li Bai?"

The old mechanism master raised his eyes slightly, and sneered, "You really are... a lingering ghost."

"Hidden spirits?"

In the dancing dust, Li Bai raised his head and looked at his enemy contemptuously, "Shouldn't you keep this description for yourself?"

As he spoke, he waved his hand and threw a broken sword blade to Lu Daoxuan's feet.

"Ji Xianke died for you."

Li Bai said coldly: "Not only him and Li Xiang, but many more people died because of you, Lu Daoxuan, no, Wu Yougong—they shouldn't have died, they could have survived, but because of you, They all went to hell!"

Lu Daoxuan didn't speak, just lowered his head, overlooking the broken sword in the dust.

The sword spine covered with fissures reflected his face, making that old face seem to have been cut by the fissures, and it had already changed beyond recognition.

Still calm, without the slightest wavering.

"Death is inevitable, sooner or later."

Lu Daoxuan said: "People are inherently mortal. It is better to die with enlightenment than to live in ignorance. In comparison, those who pin their hopes and futures on this disgusting city and the unknown are pathetic enough! At best, they are nothing more than this city. His slaves!"

"They are not anyone's slaves, and no one is born to be someone's tool."

Li Bai retorted coldly: "Isn't it you who treat them as tools and puppets!"

"In this world, if you want to achieve truly beautiful things, you must sacrifice.

They have entrusted their lives to me, and I want to make their deaths meaningful - isn't it you who really hinder all this! "

Lu Daoxuan asked solemnly: "Do you really understand what you are doing, Li Bai?
He thinks he is a hero and is full of pride, but he is no different from those executioners who obey the will of the people and kill people!
If you are truly righteous, you should be on my side. If you are truly merciful to the suffering, you should be my friend!

If you want to make this world a better place, you shouldn't draw your sword on me!You should stand with me and fight against those culprits who caused all this for their own power and ambition!

Only you can understand me! "

He stretched out his hand and invited one last time: "Imagine! Imagine that future! There will be no more noble mechanics, no more incompetent officials, those who only bring pain, and those who ride on us Blessed waste!
Everyone can survive for themselves and their loved ones, everyone has their own home!Everyone can proudly hold their heads high and become the master of Chang'an!

Come to me, Li Bai, and we can create a better world.A future without the oppression and control of noble mechanics, without dark power struggles, and without despair and pain..."

"One, the future controlled by you, isn't it?"

Li Bai asked coldly, "A future where everyone seems to be a puppet and looks free, but is under your rule?"

He stared indifferently at his outstretched hand, then drew his sword and aimed it at his face.

Make a final reply in the most straightforward way possible.

"You're lying, Lu Daoxuan."

Li Bai stepped forward and turned to his enemy, "I hate people who lie, because that kind of life is not true, and those lies about love are especially hypocritical! You don't love this world any more, what is left is only hatred... …

Those things built on tears, no matter how noble the cause and purpose, are nothing but self-indulgence! "

He stared at that old face, and through the dark pupils, he could see the scarlet hidden in the darkness, just like the molten fire in hell, surging with pain, choosing to eat someone!

"Lu Daoxuan, since I don't know how long ago, you are no different from those things you hate."

He shook his head sadly:

"—From the beginning to the end, you just wanted to create hell!"

A loud roar.

In the dark abyss, some huge monster suddenly rose up, its ferocious torso unfolded, covering the sky and covering the earth, and fell towards Li Bai!

Earth cracks.

In an instant, it fell apart.

Accompanied by the shattering of the dome, countless boulders collapsed. After the cracks, the fading sunlight fell, finally illuminating the huge and terrifying silhouette behind Lu Daoxuan.

Just like the monsters created in the deepest part of hell.

In the deep abyss, a face that is as solemn as a god or Buddha slowly rises.

On the huge face, inlaid with countless scarlet organ cores, releasing a vicious glow like a poisonous spider.

On the huge body like a mountain, there are thousands of pairs of arms swaggeringly spread out. Such a posture should be extremely solemn, but now, it seems like a hand of resentment stretched out from behind the gate of hell, wanting to pull everything and fall into hell. To hell!

That is the creation that Lu Daoxuan is really proud of, the result forged from 14 years of pain and despair, a monster resurrected from hell with thousands of dead organ cores as the axis!

——Thousand-Handed King!
At this moment, Lu Daoxuan stepped on the outstretched palm of King Ming, supported the monster's face, and looked down—on the solemn face, there was a ferocious killing intent.

He clenched his fists.

In an instant, countless long arms fell from King Ming's roar.

It's easy to tear up and destroy everything in front of you!

Compared with the huge mechanism puppets, all mortals are like dust, even the huge stadium above the head is too narrow to accommodate this terrifying body.

After breaking through the dogma of countless mechanics, Lu Daoxuan has already climbed to the peak of taboo.

Even without anyone, he can completely destroy everything in front of him!
"If you are stubborn, then go to die!"

On King Ming's chest, between the folded fingers, Lu Daoxuan's eyes were crazy: "Don't worry, Li Bai, after you die, a better world will be born!"

What responded to him was the sword aura that soared into the sky again from the dust.

The long river is surging, sweeping mightily, moving forward with ease from the ravages of thousands of pairs of giant hands, leaving deep cut marks on the body of King Qianshou Ming.

In an instant, a huge steel palm fell off the wrist and fell to the ground.

"A better world?"

Li Bai shook his head pityingly: "So, you didn't hear it, did you?"

"——The mourning of this city."

From the moment Lu Daoxuan's plan started, it reverberated in the depths of the earth—like the singing of a whale in the deep sea, lonely and sad, futile calls and wailings.

But no one heard of it.

"It's calling me, Lu Daoxuan, it's asking me for help."

Li Bai clenched his long sword tightly and told him word by word: "This world is standing behind me!"

In his hands, Qinglian Sword Qi bloomed again, flowing, illuminating the darkness.

This time, along with the distant singing, it once again transformed into a brand new brilliance. After exhausting all the brilliance and beauty of the world, it contained all kinds of beauty and turned it into a dazzling brilliance.

What can be compared with this is the roar of the gigantic Qianshou Mingwang.

Around its body, countless scarlet mechanism cores like pupils are rapidly extinguished, cracked, and lost the support and strength from afar.

stuck in stagnation...

"what happened!"

Lu Daoxuan looked back in astonishment, and looked further away.

"It's too late, Lu Daoxuan."

Li Bai raised his head and smiled triumphantly: "I am not the only one in this city to stand up!"

At this moment, in Chang'an City, there are countless people running around in a hurry.

From Weiyang Palace to Huaiyuanfang, Honglu Temple, Dali Temple, Yu Hengsi, and even countless organ masters have all been mobilized.

The Jinwu Guard's iron cart violently smashed the barrier in front of it under the order, and then one after another, the mechanism beasts poured into it, activated the tools, and began to carry out emergency maintenance in a hurry.

As all the living corpses that Lu Daoxuan arranged underground were dismantled, the scarlet color in the organ cores of the square city gradually faded, and the brilliance resumed again.

"Hurry up, hurry up!"

Holding a crumpled blueprint in her hand, Yuan Fang urged the hidden guards: "There are still four places, all of which must be maintained within an hour!

What about the Jinwu Guard?Jin Wuwei's car is blocking the road, get out of the way!That's too late! "

Soon, Cheng Yaojin lifted up the engineering locomotive weighing ten thousand catties at will, and then put it on the other side, opening the road wide.

"Be quick, too!"

He waved his hand and ordered to his juniors: "Don't disappoint the painstaking efforts of others, you know?"

His answer was a thunderous cry.

Li Bai is not alone.

At this moment, everyone stretched out their hands, holding on to their most beloved home, not allowing it to be dragged into the abyss!
"see it?"

Li Bai shook his head, "The reason why a conspiracy is a conspiracy is because once it is exposed to the sun, it is doomed to fail!"

In the dead silence, Lu Daoxuan raised his head and finally saw countless paper pages flying in the wind behind the shattered dome.

A torn piece of paper fell and fell to Lu Daoxuan's feet.

The sixteen city cores that may be usurped, the transformation agencies hidden under the transmission layer, and even the deep veins covering the Chang'an Security Zone...even Lu Daoxuan's plan to manipulate Chang'an.

After checking and calculating the values ​​line by line, all the important points have been marked on the crude drawing covering the entire Chang'an.

In just two days, 14 years of preparation have been reversed!

Even, being scattered in the air, the spread of Chang'an fell into everyone's hands...

"That trash—"

Lu Daoxuan crushed the shredded paper, and it was difficult to hide his fury and ferocity.

"Catch him without a fight, Wu Yougong."

Li Bai shook his head pityingly: "Your plan has completely failed—if you plead guilty at this moment, you may not be able to forgive yourself..."

"dream!!!"

Lu Daoxuan roared, King Qianshouming roared angrily, and those eyes that had dimmed became bloody again.

Under the scattered mottled white hair, the old mechanism engineer has completely fallen into madness.

Regardless of any consequences, the last measure was initiated:

"—If you refuse this future and tomorrow, then you will fall into hell together!"

At that moment, King Ming's countless arms spread out, facing in all directions, forcibly connecting those out-of-control mechanisms again, and then activated the final law of mechanisms.

Overload instructions!

Chang'an was shaken violently, and terrifying turbulence sprouted from the deepest part of the earth.

With the six cities as the hub, the out-of-control orders spread outwards, causing a disaster that was more than a hundred times greater than the collapse of the year... After completely giving up control of this city, Lu Daoxuan laughed hoarsely, and chose to push everything to perdition !

Li Bai roared angrily, flew up, and slashed the blade of his sword towards King Qianshou Ming in front of him.

But one after another the arms blocked it, and countless palms firmly clamped the mighty sky sword. Under the heavy shadows, Lu Daoxuan's pupils were bloodshot, and he laughed hoarsely.

"It's useless, Li Bai, it's too late!"

He spread out his hands, urging the law of the mechanism that was falling to perish, and conveyed it to the distance, causing the city to collapse in the endless core overload.

"Everything will fall into destruction!"

"...No, there is still time."

Someone whispered softly.

boom!
At that moment, from behind Li Bai, in the collapsed crack, a steel fist lifted up, sparks flickered on the stump, and slowly aimed at the body of King Qianshou Ming.

Use up your last strength.

The furnace hidden in the arm was filled with the last fuel, the residue of the mana crystal inspired the final power, and just like that, the fire burst.

The Iron Hand flew out like a bird.

It turned into a cannonball, dragged a chain hundreds of meters long, and pierced into King Qianshou Ming's heart.

At the other end of the chain, the broken mechanism giant came out of the darkness, its face riddled with holes, its tattered face lifted up, and the only remaining eyes were still burning with a stubborn glow.

And the chest cavity is empty!

In the depths of the darkness, after countless broken cables, a line of blood slowly extended... It turned into a scarlet link, connecting the exhausted mechanic with the hero he created.

Among the wreckage, Xun Qing groaned.

Trembling fingers lifted.

At that moment, the overload command stopped abruptly!

That is the person in the world who knows Lu Daoxuan's mechanism skills best, and the successor he personally cultivated is also the mechanism master who has inherited all his skills!
At the moment when Iron Fist was connected, the interference from the same source caused Lu Daoxuan's mechanism to stagnate and collapse.With blood as the thread, the weak mechanism master started the final wrestle with his master!

"Do you dare to disobey me, Xun Qing!"

Lu Daoxuan roared hoarsely, clenched his fists, and wanted to regain his control, but the suppression from Li Bai made him unable to draw all his energy.

Only a little bit, being pulled tightly by Xun Qing.

"It's time to end, Duke Daoxuan."

Xun Qing murmured softly, "Whether it's love or hate, it's been too long..."

Under the angry attack of King Qianshouming, the riddled giant stepped forward and moved his body little by little.There was no attack, nor any rebuke.

He just opened his arms, exhausted his last strength, and hugged the monster in front of him.

Like a child snuggling in the arms of its father.

Among the wreckage, Xun Qing closed his eyes, and tears rolled down from the corners of his eyes.

"We go home."

At that moment, all the mechanisms connected to the outside world were completely cut off, the overload command was forcibly terminated——

"Xun Qing!!!"

Lu Daoxuan roared wildly, tearing apart the blocking giant desperately, trying to restart everything.

But then, he heard an endless roar.

Those huge torn arms fell from the sky, and the torrent of blue sword energy soared into the sky!

In the hands of Li Bai.

"It's time to wake up from the dream, Wu Yougong."

He raised his eyes and solemnly declared: "With this sword, I will cut you off from your hell together!"

Endless sword energy shot out, engulfing that thin figure in an instant, no, he once again merged into the mighty torrent.

Rising towards the sky.

It was as if the shackles between the sky and the earth were torn apart, causing everything to vibrate.

At this moment, the light from the soul shines on the sky, like countless stars in the sky, turning into a vast expanse of stars.

The torrent of stars ends here.

It turned into a sword blade that seemed to include everything in it, and slashed towards King Qianshou Ming.

Lu Daoxuan raised his head dully, staring at the sword energy rushing towards his face, his pupils were illuminated by the light.

It was like forgetting that I was already in hell.The old mechanism master subconsciously stretched out his hand, wanting to touch the color like the sky.

"That light..."

He murmured absently.

At that moment, the lofty glow engulfed everything.

When the sword light flashed away, the bright Xiaohan light disappeared without a trace.

Only the roar of the collapse can be heard endlessly.

King Qianshou Ming was shattered inch by inch, cut into two from the center, without the strength to maintain his posture, he dissociated quickly and fell into the dark abyss below.

into eternal silence.

And in mid-air, Li Bai's figure reappeared, falling into the darkness like a blade flipped in a hurricane.

He reached out, trying to grab the bump beside him.

But it missed a tiny bit.

Can't catch it.

"Ah, I'm out of strength."

Li Bai sighed softly, but couldn't help laughing softly.

in the fall.

He defeated the powerful enemy, won the victory, and saved Chang'an, but finally fell to his death due to lack of strength... Perhaps such a humorous way of death can be recorded in the biographies of later generations in the future?
In the howling wind, he closed his eyes.

But in the wind, he seemed to hear a distant call, someone calling his name, getting closer... But when he raised his eyes, he saw the figure on the cliff rushing towards him.

Pulling the rope, he jumped down without thinking about himself.

He grabbed his collar tightly.

Hold on tight!

——Di Renjie!

Seeing that Di Renjie was holding Li Bai, Yuan Fang on the top also breathed a sigh of relief, struggling to pull on the rope, her face flushed, she turned her head and glared at the secretly laughing guard next to her: "Why are you still standing there, hurry up and help! Deduct all wages later! Deduct wages!"

Soon, pulled by the hidden guards, Di Renjie and Li Bai rose slowly from the abyss.

The exhausted Li Bai was thrown on the ground. Then, Di Renjie reached out and took off the shackles from his waist with a crisp click.

"The fugitive Li Bai, arrest him and bring him to justice!"

Li Bai was stunned, looking at Di Renjie's cold look and his shackled hands, he couldn't believe it: "Are you still here?"

"Remember what I said?"

Di Renjie shook his head pityingly, "The rules are the rules—you are still a fugitive from Dali Temple until the end of the joint trial of the Six Ministries, so return it to me."

"I just saved Chang'an!"

Di Renjie suddenly smiled heartily and said, "This hero who saved Chang'an was crying and calling for someone to come to rescue him before he left... If you didn't shout so loudly that the sound could be heard for ten miles, I wouldn't be able to come here in time. .”

Li Bai pondered for a moment, and finally realized something was wrong: "Why do I feel like you are watching the fun from the sidelines from the beginning to the end?"

"Looking at the excitement... It's a bunch of nonsense. I'm so busy with all kinds of things. Is there still that kind of free time?" Di Renjie said lightly.Only he knows how many masters from Dali Temple have resisted Lu Daoxuan's numerous subordinates in today's battlefield while Li Bai was in a decisive battle.

After a short rest, Li Bai finally regained some strength, refused Yuan Fang's help, and stood up by himself holding the long sword.

When he looked back and looked at the devastated ruins behind him, he couldn't help but sigh.

Standing on the edge of the chasm, he looked down into the steep abyss.

The darkness buried everything, hatred, despair and pain, and everything will return to silence.

"In the end, after all, they couldn't really resolve their resentment." Li Bai murmured softly.

"No matter how precise the law and how timely the chivalry, sometimes it is impossible to restore what has been lost."

Di Renjie sighed: "Family, future, hope, and happiness... Once some things are destroyed, they can never be found again. Even if revenge is meaningless, there is no way to go without revenge. Perhaps, because In this way, Lu Daoxuan will fall into madness..."

"No, quite the opposite, if I ask you."

In silence, Li Bai slowly shook his head: "Everything we do is to prevent more such things from happening again. To prevent more people from falling into the hell of hatred and despair.

This world will have tomorrow. "

Human beings survive in this earthly storm, chasing the distant hope and future.

It is precisely because I know the horror of pain and resentment that I put my eyes on the law and chivalry, hoping that one day I can overcome the ugly vortex and create a truly beautiful world...

Whether it is Li Bai, Di Renjie, or Xun Qing, or even anyone who is unwilling to despair and pain, every step forward will be a step on this long road.

Even if this road has no end, even if it takes a lifetime, it will never end, but this desire to chase light will never end.

Di Renjie looked back at him for a long time, and asked seriously: "Do you think that world without hatred will really come?"

Li Bai looked into the abyss beneath his feet.

Suddenly recalled, at the last moment, Lu Daoxuan's eyes were so peaceful.It was as if he had finally escaped from the hell that had imprisoned him all his life.

With a relieved smile, he opened his arms and embraced the death that was close at hand.

In the end, he finally let go of his hatred.

We calmly ushered in our own ending.

Not only him, but also Ji Xianke, Li Xiang, and many more... It is because they are deeply aware of the pain of darkness that they yearn for the light so much.

Yearning for a hopeful tomorrow.

"Of course it will."

Li Bai nodded and replied solemnly: "One day, such a world will definitely come!"

Di Renjie didn't speak again.

Just smiling.

Looking up at the sky beyond the crack.

In the blue sky, white clouds billowed, and a refreshing wind blew from afar.

The bustling streets, dilapidated ruins, flower boats, Xi chariots, and even every smiling face are bathed in the gentle sunshine.

The haze is no more.
