The vermilion door, which is more than ten meters high, is slowly opening. The gear machinery running on the side is "clicking", the chain locking the door frame is tight, and the fire phosphorus water is continuously spraying white steam in the burning kettle.
The main entrance of Luoyang City is too huge to be pushed by human power alone. The only way to open the door is through mechanical power.
Yu Nian looked at the floating steam and estimated in her mind that the fire phosphorus water consumed to open the door once would be enough for her Feng Xingju to run for a month.
The Xuanji Factory has developed the fourth generation of Fengxingju, which should be equipped soon. She really can't stand the bumps of the third generation of Fengxingju. In addition to its speed and durability, it is not as good as ordinary war horses.
She stood next to the porridge cart, the black armor and the iron mask wrapping her tightly, leaving only a pair of cold eyes outside.
The leader of his family was talking to Master Xuanyi, and he was bowing in a very low posture. Although this Master did not have any official position, as a servant of the Queen of Heaven, no one dared to be disrespectful to her.
When the huge vermilion door was fully opened, the scene outside the city slowly came into Yu Nian's eyes.
Densely packed people stood together, all of them in ragged clothes and unkempt faces, spreading outward like ants. It was impossible to see how many victims there were on the flat ground.
"Yu Nian."
The high commander at the front suddenly called to her.
"Today is your first time escorting the porridge truck, isn't it?" Commander Gao's tone was very relaxed, and the ferocious evil ghost's iron-faced face was probably smiling.
"Yeah." Yu Nian suddenly came back to his senses and then responded.
"Many of the victims outside are dishonest. If you see anyone who is restless, don't try to dissuade them. Just kill them." Commander Gao said.
"……good."
Yu Nian followed the porridge truck slowly towards the outside of the city, towards the countless victims.
It was the first time she saw this scene. In the past, she had always heard in the city that there were many victims outside, but it was just an inaccurate and very distant number. Everything outside would not affect the prosperity of Luoyang City.
However, the scene she saw today made her scalp tingle. The Xuan Tang Dynasty in her memory was not like this. The country was obviously prosperous and powerful, and the people were well clothed and well fed. There was also a poet who praised: the prosperity of the two capitals overshadowed the fairyland in heaven.
The rice is dripping with fat, the corn is white, the public and private warehouses are both abundant...
This is a great era that is praised by everyone in the world!
Is it possible that all poems and articles are fake?
It was just a natural disaster for a few years. How could there be such a scene?
At this moment, Yu Nian suddenly had another question in his mind. Could it be that those rumors were true?
The Demon Queen is in power and has treacherous officials in power, which makes God angry...
Yu Nian couldn't help but hold down the black sword at her waist. Many people who said such words died under her black sword.
Their Xuanjia Guards had killed many corrupt officials, and her black sword was stained with countless dirty blood.
The porridge truck drove out of the city gate and stopped at a fixed position in front of the victims. The people approaching here had lined up in advance and stared at the big pots eagerly. Yu Nian was not responsible for putting the porridge, but stood aside. Police whistle.
"You must remember God's grace!"
Commander Gao's voice spread far away, repeating it over and over again.
Yu Nian saw Xuanyi saying something to a group of victims. She was wearing a wide robe and a veil that made her dignified and sacred. Stop kowtowing.
"The Fairy Lady is so kind and merciful!"
"Thank you Fairy!"
"Fairy aunt..."
These people are uncivilized, but Yu Nian knows in his heart that fairy girls are forbidden words, and monks are evil spirits who should be killed!
This Xuanyi Zhenren is the leader of the Xuanzhen Sect. He has practiced the art of cultivating the mind and character. He is also the only sect that can be accepted by the court.
Commander Gao quickly walked over: "This is the real person Xuanyi. Don't call the real person Xiangu..."
The scorching sun was beating down, making people very uncomfortable. Fortunately, the black armor on my body was always cool, otherwise I would have fainted in such weather.
Yu Nian saw that many people in the team fainted and fell to the ground. The people behind him directly stepped over his body and no one paid attention to him. These people who fell on the ground would not be able to receive today's bowl of porridge. Maybe I can't get it tomorrow either.
Master Xuanyi came to Yu Nian's side and preached the Queen's grace to the people who were receiving porridge. She never stopped to comfort these refugees, which made Yu Nian feel a little admired.
In such hot and scorching weather, this real person can still maintain such a demeanor. It must be that he has mastered the art of cultivating his mind and character. No wonder he is the Taoist leader of Xuanzhen Sect.
Master Xuanyi's words were obviously more convincing than Commander Gao's. These refugees could not see the Queen of Heaven. To them, this female Taoist priest was a fairy who saved people in distress. Wherever Master Xuanyi went, people would kneel down. These The people who knelt down were more pious than they had ever been when they burned incense and worshiped gods. They prayed in their hearts to the Fairy Goddess to give them more blessings, fill their stomachs, and keep them alive.
At this moment, Yu Nian felt in his heart that there really were no immortals in the world. Otherwise, how could he watch these common people suffer?
How can those monks who fight against each other and are selfish and self-serving deserve to be called immortals?
It’s really good to call a demon!
How can the Queen of Heaven be the Demon Queen because she is so wise and diligent in governing? !
The person who spreads this statement should be punished! Yu Nian suddenly felt that he had not killed enough people like him!
The sun moved far away silently in the sky, and the porridge was put away. Commander Gao gave the order to return. Yu Nian moved his somewhat stiff posture and prepared to drive towards the city along with the iron cart pulling a dozen clean and empty pots.
"Real person help me!"
But at this moment, a loud shout suddenly sounded from behind. Everyone looked around and saw a figure running towards them.
"There are some people who are not afraid of death." Commander Gao muttered when he saw this, and pulled out the black sword from his waist with a clang. However, he did not take action immediately because of the presence of Master Xuanyi. Instead, he asked with cold words: "Who is this?" How dare you make trouble!"
The man quickly said: "I am related to a high-ranking official named Yu in the city. I encountered thieves on my way to the city of God to find my relatives. I hope that the real person will be kind enough to take me to the city to reunite with my relatives!"
Commander Gao paused while holding his sword, and the senior official named Yu...
He quickly glanced at Yu Nian aside.
The line of porridge carts stopped, and Master Xuanyi turned around and came to the man, looking at him deeply.
When Yu Nian heard the call from the visitor, he looked over in surprise. The man was in ragged clothes like the other refugees, with messy short hair. The dirt on his face should have been wiped off. Although it was not clean, it was visible. From a rough appearance, he was at least a very young man.
"What's your name?" Master Xuanyi asked. Her voice was like cold and quiet spring water, pleasant to the ear and straight into people's hearts.
"An Yan!"
Ning Yan was already prepared before coming. If he stayed in the refugee camp, even if he didn't starve to death, he would sooner or later contract some nasty disease and die. This desperate move took a huge risk, but other than that, there was nothing more. Good choice.
He only hoped that Master Xuanyi was really compassionate and kind-hearted. If he went directly to the Xuanyi guards, he would probably be treated as a rioter and be killed on the spot. He had also seen people who came to beg these soldiers to enter the city but were beheaded. Killing scene.
"Where are you?" Master Xuanyi continued to ask, holding a fly whisk in her hand and looking solemn.
"Yanzhou, Wangshan County."
The other party's appearance as a monk inevitably makes people feel awe. Ning Yan felt that he was an outsider with no desires and desires. He felt like the Guanyin Bodhisattva watching TV. The difference was that this kind of direct confrontation The feeling of shame that outsiders have in their hearts is something that they don’t have when watching TV.
"Who is the high-ranking official named Yu you are talking about?" Commander Gao asked the crowd.
Ning Yan shook his head: "I only know that he is the largest member of the Yu family in Luoyang City."
Commander Gao immediately sneered: "Where are you from, how dare you claim to be a relative of a high official in the imperial court, and deceive and entertain us like this. Do you think I won't kill you?!"
Officials of the imperial court...
Ning Yan felt relieved and said calmly, "I have a token to prove my identity."
Commander Gao frowned and said, "What token!"
Ning Yan said: "Only my uncle, a high-ranking official, knows the token."
Commander Gao thought about it on the spot. There was only one high-ranking official named Yu in the city, and that family...
His tone became more restrained and he said, "Can you show me the token?"
Before coming, Ning Yan had expected that if he didn't show his token, these people might not believe what he said. But since it was a token, these people might not know him. How much credibility could a piece of jade give him...
Ning Yan took out the piece of white jade with hollow carvings and showed it to everyone. As Ning Yan said, neither Commander Gao nor Master Xuanyi saw what it was like. It was a beautiful piece of jade, but in this place It looks out of place in dirty hands.
If this jade is indeed this person, we can be sure that this person's background should not be poor. However, due to natural disasters in recent years, many wealthy families have eventually been ruined.
Commander Gao was hesitating, but the armored soldier beside him took a step forward for some unknown reason. The collision of the black armor attracted the attention of Commander Gao and Master Xuan Yi.
Master Xuanyi only glanced at the white jade. Her eyes stayed on Ning Yan's face. Her expression could not be seen under the veil, but her clear water pool-like eyes shone with a strange light, as if she cared. It’s just this person Ning Yan.
"Your name is An Yan?" she asked again.
Ning Yan nodded and said yes.
Commander Gao glanced sideways at Yu Nian, who was making a noise, and then ordered: "Take him into the city."
Ning Yan forced herself to remain calm and saluted Commander Gao and Master Xuanyi with bated breath.
"Thank you Master, thank you Master Jun."
The vermilion door slowly opened again under the operation of gears and chains. The heavy sound was like the roar of a horn. It was obviously daytime, but Ning Yan felt in a daze that there was a brighter and dazzling light shining on him from behind the door.
Jiuzhou Xuantang, the divine capital Luoyang.
One of the two capitals, the hinterland of the Central Plains.
Ning Yan listened to An Lu talk about how good Luoyang was for countless times, but An Lu failed to come in.
He came in.
