There was a blockage in a hidden line in the God-stunning Array, so the exit of the hidden line was completely blocked. According to the principle of life and death in the tactical array, the flow of the aura of heaven and earth from the north to the south was forced to stop completely, so that the aura of heaven and earth in the city became more and more stagnant until it backflowed and broke the blockage with the help of heaven and earth itself.
The prescription that Mo Shanshan gave to Chang 'an was very simple, but extremely violent. It was hard to imagine that it was made by such a beautiful and gentle girl. If she treated a real person, he would definitely bleed to death after taking the medicine. But if it was Chang' an who took the medicine, would it be different?
Ning Que was silent for a long time and asked, "Where to block it? How? "
"The exit of this line is the South Gate, which happens to be the living gate of the God-stunning Array. It faces the Vermilion Bird Avenue. If we want to block it, we naturally have to seal this gate. As for the method …"
Mo Shanshan said, "I want to block this gate with stones."
Using stones to block the gate sounded fine, but Ning Que knew that the physical blockage was meaningless to the flow of the aura of heaven and earth in Chang 'an. So he immediately understood what she meant. He thought of the countless stones at the bottom of the Daming Lake outside the Front Gate of the Devil's Doctrine and the tactical array named Stone Array Tactics.
"Are you confident?" He asked.
Mo Shanshan shook her head and said, "No, but I can't think of any other way. You told me that the last way is the best way, so I want to try."
This was indeed what Ning Que often said.
He thought for a while and said, "Although it is a little risky, it seems to be a little interesting."
Time was pressing. The project of sealing the South Gate of Vermilion Bird had to be carried out immediately. Ning Que asked the Azure Dragon Gang under the gate to inform Spring Breeze Pavilion, and then informed the palace of this arrangement.
The administrative ability of the imperial court of the Tang Empire was perfectly demonstrated in the next few hours. It didn't take long for several tactical array masters and more than 3,000 temporary conscripted workers led by the Ministry of Works and the Imperial Center Administration to arrive at the South Gate. They were all under the command of Mo Shanshan.
Mo Shanshan asked, "As for the more than 30,000 stones, where can we find so many stones?"
Ning Que looked at the houses in the city and said, "If it doesn't work, we'll tear them down."
The assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue, who had come under the edict, was silent for a moment. He then said in a small voice, "There is a lake three li south of the city. There are many stones in the lake. In the past, when the manors of the princes and dukes built their manors …"
Without waiting for him to finish his words, Ning Que said, "Since there are lake stones, that would be the best. If you have any ideas, why don't you tell Miss Mo directly? Now is not the time for pleasantries."
The Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Revenue agreed.
Mo Shanshan asked again, "I need a few hundred heavy rocks that weigh more than ten thousand kilograms. Can you move them?"
The Assistant Minister of Revenue said, "The equipment in the Ministry of Works' storeroom is being transported here. Not to mention ten thousand catties, even a hundred thousand catties of heavy stone can be taken out of the lake and transported to the south gate."
The imperial court decreed that the South Gate of Chang 'an would be closed from then on. The grain teams and people would enter and leave through the other gates. Thousands of people, technical officials from the Ministry of Revenue, and Array Tactical Masters volunteered to come. Under Mo Shanshan's command, they began to set up tactical arrays and move giant stones. The South Gate suddenly became a big construction site and it was extremely lively.
After confirming that there were no other problems, Ning Que bid farewell to Mo Shanshan.
Mo Shanshan asked in surprise, "What are you going to do?"
Ning Que said, "The last way is the best way. But it is not the last moment yet. I want to see if I can find another way."
Mo Shanshan did not say anything more. She said calmly, "I wish you good luck."
Ning Que bowed and turned to leave.
To enter Chang 'an from the South Gate, one had to pass through the famous Vermilion Bird Avenue.
The late autumn sky was sometimes high and sometimes gloomy. It all depended on whether there were any clouds covering the sky.
When Ning Que walked along the Vermilion Bird Avenue to the north, a cloud floated in from outside the city and blocked the sunlight from the sky. It cast a large shadow and lowered the temperature in the city.
The stone statues on the Vermilion Bird Avenue also appeared much darker because of the change in the light.
The autumn wind blew and there were raindrops falling. The cold autumn rain chased the pedestrians on the street to the side.
Ning Que did not leave. He still stood where he was.
He reached behind him and wanted to take out the big black umbrella. But he only touched the hilt of his knife. Then he remembered that the big black umbrella was no longer with him. The big black horse and the horse carriage were also not with him.
Sangsang was also not with him.
Ning Que thought of the feeling when he and Sangsang saw it for the first time. He thought of the old days when he was covered in blood and fell in front of it. He was silent and had very complicated feelings.
When the Headmaster of the Academy took him and Sangsang to the human world for the last time, they had returned to Chang 'an. At that time, the Vermilion Bird appeared in the black horse carriage.
The Vermilion Bird was a Divine Talisman in the God-stunning Array. Ning Que was the owner of the God-stunning Array. Moreover, they were teacher. So at this time, although they did not speak, they seemed to have a telepathic connection.
They looked at each other without words. Only emotions and thoughts echoed between him and the Vermilion Bird.
"You are only at the peak of the Knowing Destiny State."
Ning Que looked at the Vermilion Bird painting that looked more and more lively after being wet by the rain. He thought silently in his heart, "What's the use for a powerhouse like the Abbey Dean?"

Yang Erxi took back the pitchfork, panting, and stood in the field to rest with it.
There was a grave in front of him. The soil on it was very fresh and had just been piled up.
The pig trotters on the pitchfork had been given to the refugees. Recently, he began to fight with the grassland barbarian's machete. But the pitchfork in his hand was getting sharper and sharper because he used it more often.
The pitchfork was much better for digging up soil than the machete.
These days, he dug many graves and buried the bodies of many of his companions.
When he had enough rest, Yang Erxi spat and shouted to his companions not far away. Then he put the pitchfork on his shoulder and walked wearily to the forest in the west.
In this wilderness, more than two thousand new graves were built. They were very small and simple graves.
The Tang army would never leave any of its companions, whether alive or dead.
Even if they could not do it during the war, they would try their best to find the bodies of their companions after the war.
But this was originally the territory of the Tang Empire. The soldiers were buried here, which meant that they were buried in their hometown.
It was said that when His Majesty returned to Chang 'an, there was only a box of ashes.
These dead soldiers had nothing to complain about.
…
…
Not long after the war began, Chao Xiaoshu led the Valiant Cavalry Battalion out of Chang 'an and went straight to the Eastern Border to fight with the grassland cavalry. In the following days, there were constantly voluntary retired soldiers joining them. At the same time, there were also the Northeast Border Military soldiers who had withdrawn from the Yan territory. The number of soldiers was increasing.
Now the army had more than 30,000 people and was officially named the Volunteer Army by the imperial court. But because of the lack of equipment, especially warhorses, they were still at a disadvantage compared to the grassland cavalry.
Just yesterday, the Volunteer Army of the Eastern Border and the grassland cavalry had a real battle. The disadvantaged Volunteer Army won the final victory with unimaginable courage.
For this, on this Eastern Border Field, thousands of Volunteer Army paid the price with their lives.
However, what made Chao Xiaoshu and the generals of the Valiant Cavalry Battalion vigilant was that no one had ever found Prince Long Qing and those fallen commanders in this fierce battle. What made them even more uneasy was that the most powerful Papal Cavalrymen of the Divine Hall and the grassland elites were nowhere to be found.
Chao Xiaoshu looked at the forest in the west and thought of the urgent military report sent by Pingyuan County. His face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost. He said, "They have gone to Chang 'an."
The Volunteer Army of the Eastern Border had fought continuously and had difficulties in providing logistical support. They were already extremely exhausted. To be able to defeat most of the grassland cavalry in the battle yesterday was already an extraordinary performance.
At this time, even if they knew that Prince Long Qing was heading straight for Chang 'an with a group of elites, they had no ability to respond, let alone intercept them in front of them.
Liu V listened to Chao Xiaoshu's judgment and his expression became extremely solemn. But he was still somewhat puzzled. He said, "Most of the barbarian cavalrymen are scattered in the Eastern Border. Although Long Qing's subordinates are elites, it is absolutely impossible for them to attack Chang 'an."
This was the reason why Chao Xiaoshu's face was as cold as frost.
It was obviously meaningless. Why was Long Qing willing to give up so many troops just to buy time to attack Chang 'an? There was only one explanation. Long Qing firmly believed that when his cavalry arrived, Chang 'an would definitely fall.

The Verdant Canyon was in front of the green mountains.
Before the green mountains was a plain.
Most of this flat and fertile field belonged to Qinghe Prefecture, and a small part was expropriated by the Military Ministry. Other than the meadows, there were many fields that had been cultivated for many years.
After several days of bloody battles, the autumn grass had long been covered with blood.
Tens of thousands of acres of fertile land had been trampled into mud by the West-Hill Divine Palace Coalition Army.
Too many tragedies had happened this autumn. The farmers had fled in all directions, and the rice in the fields had not been harvested. They were powerless in the wind and looked like criminals waiting to be hanged.
On the right front of the Verdant Canyon, there was a relatively flat rice field that had not been trampled by the cavalry. The rice in the field was densely packed and golden, looking very beautiful.
Ye Su was in this rice field.
He walked toward the Verdant Canyon.
The wind rose with his footsteps, and the golden ears of rice were blown in all directions. Then, they bounced up like a golden ocean. Then, the ocean of rice gradually parted, opening a path for him.
The sea of rice had to give way because of the thin wooden sword.
…
…
After Ke Haoran, Jun Mo was the proudest person in the Academy. He was the legendary Mr. Second.
Ye Su was a Haotian Taoism genius who had seen through life and death more than ten years ago. He was also a legendary figure.
They were truly people who did not live in this world.
When these two people met, who would be the stronger one?
In the field in front of the green mountains, all eyes were on the rice field and the wooden sword.
It was quiet between heaven and earth. Only the warhorses neighed and kicked their hooves anxiously.
For more than two days, the cavalrymen, who had been ready to attack at any time, got off their horses. They knew that they could not interfere in this battle. It was a battle for the dignity of the powerhouses.
In the sacred sedan, Ye Hongyu looked at the Verdant Canyon silently, her fingers lightly touching the blood-red divine robe.
…
…
Ye Su came to the Verdant Canyon.
He looked at the iron canopy, then at the scorched black armor on Second Brother's body.
Finally, his eyes fell on the iron sword. He frowned slightly and was about to say something.
Second Brother's voice sounded first. It was still as serious and serious as ever.
He looked at Ye Su and said, "You are standing in the wrong place."
Ye Su did not expect to hear such a sentence.
He calmed himself down and asked seriously, "What's wrong?"
"That is the field, not the road."
Second Brother said, "The road is for walking, and the field is for growing food. There is a road, but you chose to walk from the field. That is a waste of food. Of course, it is wrong. "
The disciples of the Academy in front of the Verdant Canyon were a little nervous because of Ye Su's arrival, but now they could not help but laugh. They felt that it was just like how Senior Brother had taught them all these years.
There was no nonsense, no frown, no hesitation. He just said one sentence when he saw you. Because you were wrong, he would say you were wrong. Second Brother was such a person.
No matter if the other party was a Haotian Taoism Wayfarer or an emperor's prostitute, as long as you were wrong, you should be taught a lesson. This was Second Brother's rule. Everything in the world was big and small.
Wasting food was wrong. Standing in the wrong place was wrong. Wearing secular clothes but wearing a Taoist bun was also wrong. In Second Brother's eyes, Ye Su was full of problems, which made him very unhappy and even a little disappointed.
Ye Su could feel his emotions and could not help but laugh. He thought that Jun Mo was indeed the legendary temperament. He smiled and said, "Your way is no longer suitable. Moreover, this is a war."
Second Brother said, "What is suitable is suitable for the time. Planting rice and harvesting is something that will last for a thousand years. How can it be changed because of the situation?"
Ye Su gradually stopped smiling and said, "How can you control others?"
Second Brother said, "The battle of the Verdant Canyon lasted for more than two days. I did not show mercy to any enemy who trampled on the field. Although those cavalrymen did not know, they knew to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. That is why the field you are in is left."
Ye Su looked around the sea of rice and became slightly serious.
Last night, with the permission of the disciples of the Academy, the West-Hill Divine Palace Coalition Army collected the corpses overnight. At this time, there were not many corpses left in front of the Verdant Canyon, but the blood was still in the field.
There should have been a large rice field next to the sea of rice where he was.
At this time, the rice field had been trampled into a wasteland. The rice was scattered on the ground, and the scene was very bleak.
The blood in the rice field was the deepest and most condensed, like pulp.
Ye Su then knew that Jun Mo did not lie.
As expected, all the cavalrymen who trampled on the field were killed by him.
In such a fierce battle, a slight distraction would lead to the destruction of the sword and the death of the person. However, under such circumstances, Second Brother still did not forget to use the iron sword to enforce his rules.
What kind of person was he?
Ye Su stood in the rice field and was silent for a long time. He reached out to pluck an ear of rice and gently rubbed it. Looking at the soil soaked in blood under his feet, he said, "I don't want to be taught. How can you teach me?"
Second Brother said, "You are wrong, so I will teach you. If you don't want to be taught, I will beat you until you do."
