Xiao Chang'an did not move for a long time. Wu Chen winked at the disciples under his seat. Two disciples quickly grabbed Xiao Chang'an's arms and controlled him. The other one picked up the dagger on the ground and approached Xiao Chang'an.
Xiao Changan's mind went blank, and his limbs were shaking like a sieve: "Wait, wait, I really can't eat it, you guys go eat Yunyuan...ah!"
The dagger slashed his face, blood dripping down, and Xiao Changan screamed in pain: "Help, help!"
Wu Chen laughed cheerfully: "Go ahead and scream, but no one will come to save you even if you scream your throat out."
The moonlight suddenly disappeared, and everyone's eyes went dark. They subconsciously looked up, but there was not a single star in the dark sky. Before they could react, a loud thunder fell from the sky.
"Ah!" The disciple holding the dagger was hit and fell to the ground motionless.
The two people who were holding Xiao Changan's arms shuddered, subconsciously withdrew their hands, and stayed away from the fallen disciple.
When Xiao Changan noticed that the shackles had disappeared, a strong desire to survive erupted. He ignored his fear and ran quickly towards the dark place.
Everyone on Qingqi Mountain looked at each other and saw a different light in each other's eyes.
No one believed that this was a coincidence. Xiao Changan was indeed different!
So when a bolt of lightning struck, the three elders not only did not retreat, but became even more excited. Even Elder Wu Wu, who had a relatively cold personality, took action, vowing to capture Xiao Changan.
Xiao Changan ran desperately but could not escape the clutches of the three elders of Qingqi Mountain and was captured again. This time it was Wu Chen who attacked him.
"Boom!" Thunder struck.
Wu Chen quickly changed his position in an attempt to avoid the lightning, but the lightning seemed to have consciousness. While chasing Wu Chen, it also attacked other people from Qingqi Mountain with tiny lightning bolts.
For a moment, the scene was extremely chaotic. The air was filled with the stench of burnt human flesh, and wailing sounds were heard from the crowd from time to time.
Xiao Changan looked at the scene in front of him, looked up at the sky in disbelief, and then became ecstatic.
He has always believed that he is different since he was a child. It turns out that it is true. Even God protects him!
Wu Chen dodged the lightning, and the dagger in his hand flew out, hitting Xiao Changan's heart.
Time seemed to stop for a moment at this moment.
Wu Chen felt his movements suddenly slow down. Seeing Wu Li and Wu Wu's eyes suddenly widen, he raised his head in despair.
………………
Kyoto was hit by a night of heavy rain, with thunder growing louder and louder. Occasionally, screams could be heard on the streets. People living nearby heard them, but no one dared to open the door to check.
The next day, the rain stopped and the sky cleared up. People opened their doors cautiously.
There were more than 20 bodies of people killed by lightning lying in the street. They were all Taoists without exception, and their deaths were miserable.
Some were curled up in a ball due to the electric shock, some had their limbs broken, and some had their eyes wide open with a look of terror on their faces, as if they had seen something terrifying before they died.
Xiao Changan, dressed in his official uniform, walked past the corpses with steady steps and a faint smile on his face, which made people feel weird for no reason.
"Lord Xiao." The Shuntian prefect stopped him and said, "Lord Xiao lives nearby. Did you hear any unusual noises at night?"
"No." Xiao Chang'an's lips curved calmly, his expression calm and his gaze unflinching. "I live some distance from here. Lord Zheng, you should ask someone nearby."
Looking at Xiao Changan's departing back, the Shuntian prefect frowned tightly.
Faced with more than 20 bodies with tragic death scenes, most pedestrians chose to take a detour. Those who really couldn't go around either lowered their heads and dared not look, or were terrified and their faces turned pale.
Only Xiao Chang'an had more than one way to enter the palace, but he did not choose to take another route. He remained calm in the face of the corpses, and even had a faint smile on his face when he saw the corpses. He had no fear at all, as if what he saw was just a small scene.
You have to know that there were not just one or two bodies, but more than twenty, and none of them were intact. Even he, who had experienced many storms, could only pretend to be calm. Wasn't Xiao Changan a little too indifferent?
But if it was said that the thunder at night was related to Xiao Changan, the governor of Shuntian Prefecture thought it was impossible.
How could a mortal control lightning? Unless Xiao Changan was not human.
Lord Fang beside him noticed the strangeness of the Shuntian Prefecture Governor and couldn't help asking, "Lord Zheng, did you find anything wrong?"
Shuntian Prefecture Governor temporarily suppressed his doubts and slowly shook his head: "It's okay, maybe I'm just overthinking it."
In this mysterious and vast land, many things cannot be explained by common sense, and are not something that an ordinary person like him can delve into.
…………
[Host, Xiao Changan has awakened some strange ability. He has come to the Emperor and wants to use the Crown Prince's life span to extend his life!]
Yun Yuan was practicing and opened his eyes when he heard this.
On the night when the Taoist priest from Qingqi Mountain came to find Xiao Chang'an, she watched a live broadcast through the system and learned that Xiao Chang'an had died once.
But as he was able to extend his life, Xiao Changan might have been an evil cultivator in his previous life?
Yun Yuan couldn't help but wonder: [Would Xuanyuan Chengyin agree to such an unbelievable thing as borrowing Yang's life span?]
The emperor was incompetent and indulged in wine and sex all day long, and was indifferent to state affairs. Now that he was sick in bed and unable to govern, I wonder how many people were relieved.
They wished the emperor would die and let a more capable and responsible prince take the throne to prevent the emperor from continuing to act recklessly.
For example, the floods and droughts some time ago. If the prince had not cared about the people's livelihood and personally asked for permission, it would have taken an unknown amount of time for the emperor to deal with it. He would probably have just pretended nothing happened.
