Volume 3: New Dynasty Ginseng Fruit Chapter 14: Chang'an Chaos
With this thought in mind, Wang Liang put away the things here, and at the same time, the sixteen ancient statues of Weng Zhong also turned into purple air and entered his body.
In this battle, Wang Liang has already felt that these sixteen ancient statues can be used as battle formations in addition to being used as magic weapons. With their presence, Wang Liang can definitely do whatever he wants when he is below level 30.
After putting away the ancient statue, Wang Liang jumped onto the bronze warhorse, but he did not go back the same way he came towards Chang'an City.
Instead, keep heading west.
In fact, if Wang Liang was thicker-skinned, he could go to the goat spirit Daniu to ask for a reward.
But for some reason, after riding on the bronze warhorse, Wang Liang remembered the words of Qingniu Xiaoqing.
"Don't cause trouble, just head west, get what you want and leave."
The reactions of those soldiers just now made Wang Liang a little worried. He felt that such evil ghost incident was not something he could get involved in.
So he thought about it, and finally decided that it would be better to leave Chang'an City and head west today.
Anyway, I have been in Chang'an City for the past two days. I have bought the necessary supplies, received the necessary maps, and figured out the route.
Why would he go back like this? What if Chang'an City is sealed off because of this incident? What if the organization behind those evil spirits comes knocking on his door?
Wang Liang had to consider the worst case scenario. The more he thought about it, the more unsafe he felt. In addition, the system had already given the reward for this mission, and the reward from the young goat demon was not much.
He simply decided not to return to Chang'an City, but rode his bronze warhorse all the way west.
Wang Liang’s choice was correct.
As he headed west, Chang'an City was already in chaos.
The doors that were supposed to be closed until dark were now all closed.
Those caravans that had not yet had time to enter Chang'an City were not allowed to take shelter in the corners, but were all rushed to the nearby avenue and were watched by many soldiers.
All the residents in Chang'an City returned home, and the soldiers of the Xin Dynasty knocked on the doors of each house and checked one by one according to the household registration.
For a time, all the wealthy families in Chang'an City were in chaos. In such a place, everyone had their own hidden servants or something.
But this time, the Xin Dynasty's troops didn't care about that. All those whose household registration didn't match were dragged out to wait for the second processing.
There were no problems with their household registration, and the Xin Dynasty soldiers had no intention of letting them go. Instead, they took out talismans and watched them stick them on their foreheads.
As long as there is no problem with the talisman, they will be let go and warned not to go out within an hour.
Regarding such things, all the residents of Chang'an City who were warned did not dare to say anything more.
Three hundred years ago, the behavior of Wang Mang, the founding emperor of the Xin Dynasty, set the tone for the style of the Xin Dynasty.
The situation in the Xin Dynasty was that everyone was friendly to each other at ordinary times, but as soon as something big happened, the central government would immediately gather people and send out the army, and all those who disobeyed would be killed.
Over the past three hundred years, such things have happened in Chang'an City almost every fifty years, and the old residents of Chang'an have become accustomed to it.
They were even guessing what they had encountered this time.
Less than half an hour after Chang'an City was sealed off, a roar was heard from the direction of the East Market of Chang'an City.
A ball of yellow sand rolled up a large amount of skin and tried to fly out of Chang'an City.
This ball of yellow sand is not big, but the color is quite dark. There are so many different things in the yellow sand, the stench of weasel, the smell of metal rust, the unique fishy smell of tiger, the earthy smell brought by the yellow sand and gravel, and the smell of corpses emitted by human skin and animal skin.
The various flavors mixed together made me speechless.
And the smell spread all around the moment the yellow sand rose.
The soldiers closest to the yellow sand were the first to be affected by the smell. Their eyes turned red and tears kept flowing. They could not see anything at all.
The rising yellow sand had no intention of killing the soldiers. Instead, it rolled up a large amount of human and animal skins and tried to fly westward over the wall of Chang'an City.
But the army of Chang'an City sealed off this place in order to deal with the existence in the yellow sand.
After the yellow sand appeared, except for some rangers and night watchmen who were checking the household registration from house to house, the other soldiers rushed towards the East Market.
These soldiers were all dressed in black armor, holding halberds in their hands, long swords on their waists, heavy crossbows and shields on their backs. They walked lightly and in an orderly manner, cooperating with each other to block the direction of the advancing yellow sand.
When the yellow sand flew towards this side, these soldiers raised their heavy crossbows and shot a wave of arrows at the yellow sand.
After completing the attack, they threw away the heavy crossbows in their hands and rushed towards the yellow sand with their long spears.
When they rushed forward, phantoms of tigers, leopards, elephants, bears and the like would appear behind them. These phantoms condensed on their weapons, and every strike would knock down some yellow sand.
The attacked yellow sand seemed to be angry as well. It began to sweep around, sucking out all the living creatures in the nearby houses.
Those creatures, whether they were humans or monsters, were swept into the yellow sand and all their vitality was sucked away.
All the flesh and blood are sucked away from humans and beasts, leaving only a piece of skin floating in the yellow sand. After the magic power and life are sucked away, the elves made of stone and metal will return to their original form and be ground into powder in the yellow sand, becoming part of the yellow sand.
Even the soldiers were the same. As long as the phantoms of the beasts behind them disappeared, they would be swept up in the yellow sand. Their lives and flesh were absorbed by the sands, and their weapons and armor were ground into powder and became part of the sands.
But even in the face of such a situation, soldiers still rushed here from all directions and attacked Huang Sha regardless of the consequences.
With the arrival of the army, some beings that looked different from normal humans appeared.
These soldiers are like large soldier ants in an ant colony. They are obviously different when standing among the crowd. They are about two meters and three meters tall, with a waist circumference of the same two meters and three meters. Their skin is blue, and they carry heavy weapons such as hammers in their hands.
When the yellow sand flew over, they raised the hammers in their hands and threw them out.
When those hammers flew out, they were like meteors, becoming brighter and brighter as they flew, and finally flew into the yellow sand, making a loud bang and blasting away a large amount of yellow sand.
Despite the attacks and obstructions from these soldiers, the yellow sand was ultimately unable to escape from Chang'an City. After spreading only seven or eight blocks, it was killed by the soldiers in Chang'an City, and it did not even make it to the most famous Suzaku Street.
Chang'an was under martial law for the next ten days to clear out the darkness lurking underground in Chang'an. However, all this had nothing to do with Wang Liang, as he was about to leave the border of the Xin Dynasty.
