The snowflakes fell on their faces. It was cold, just like how they felt at the beginning. But as they ran, their bodies began to heat up, and the fear in their hearts gradually faded.
They looked at the Taoist in indigo on the street and felt that he was just an ordinary person.
Their breathing became rapid, their blood began to boil, and they felt fearless.
Zhang Nianzu thought to himself, "I'll kill you with one strike, or two strikes if that doesn't work."
Li Guangdi thought to himself, "I'll stab you to death like a needle."
The chopper and the kitchen knife came in front of them.
The melon fork was also raised in the air.
Then they flew to the sky.
Seeing the snowy street getting farther and farther under their feet, and the figure of the Taoist in indigo getting smaller and smaller, the two teenagers were terrified and did not know what had happened.
The turbulence of the Qi of Heaven and Earth caused by the battle between the Abbey Dean and the Academy remained on the Vermilion Bird Avenue. The seemingly calm wind and snow contained so much power that ordinary people could not even get close.
Zhang Nianzu and Li Guangdi wanted to rush over, but the only result was that they would be blown away like two rags.
The cold wind whistled and brushed past their cheeks. They fell from dozens of feet in the air and fell heavily on the snowy street.
With two slaps, the snow was splashed and the two teenagers spat out blood.
Looking at the Taoist in indigo on the street again, the fear in their eyes became more intense.
They were in pain all over and did not know if they had broken any bones. They helped each other to stand up and felt each other's bodies tremble. They really cried because it was really painful and they were really afraid.
They wanted to wipe their tears, but found that they could not. This made them feel ashamed, so they cried even harder and felt even more ashamed.
So they raised their knives and forks, crying and rushing to the street again.
…
…
No official would pay attention to ants crawling by their shoes, and no driver would pay attention to the praying mantises waving their claws by the state highway. After glancing at the two Tang teenagers at first, the Abbey Dean did not pay any more attention to them. He walked calmly on the snowy street, like an immortal or a crane, unstained by the snow and dust.
Ning Que looked at the two teenagers who were running for their lives, and his heartbeat inexplicably accelerated. It was as if he saw a praying mantis struggling to block a wheel, or an ant supporting the sole of a giant's shoe.
He knew that the two teenagers could not change anything, not to mention the fate of Chang 'an City. Just like how he could not change anything at this moment, including the fate of the two teenagers.
He was exhausted, helpless, and extremely unwilling to accept everything that had happened in this snowstorm. This kind of unwillingness was like the sharp claws of a ferocious beast tearing at his spirit, making him nervous and in pain.
With just a little bit of force, his body began to bleed, but he endured the pain and slowly stood up with trembling legs, because he knew that the two youths were about to die.
He wanted to watch these two youths die. He wanted to stand and watch them die.
…
…
Zhang Nianzu and Li Guangdi did not die, because they were limping and running at a slow speed. Then something arrived in front of the Abbey Dean.
It was a green brick. It was a mottled, mossy, ordinary green brick that had been stuffed in the wall for many years and withstood the wind and rain of Chang 'an for many years.
The green brick came from an ordinary courtyard beside the Vermilion Bird Avenue. It whistled through the air, flew out of the courtyard wall, and smashed into the Abbey Dean's body. Finally, it fell in front of the Abbey Dean.
With a muffled sound, the green brick broke into four pieces.
Zhang Nianzu and Li Guangdi stopped and looked at the green brick, wondering if the cultivators of the imperial court had finally taken action. Could this green brick be the legendary celestial device?
What happened next coldly destroyed the two youths' hope for a twist in the story. As the bricks broke, a man with a full beard appeared on the wall. The man was still undressed in the cold winter and was covered in grease. No matter how one looked at him, he did not look like a decent person.
Zhang Nianzu knew that this man was a famous ruffian in the Sanyuanli area. He was only good at five things in his life, which were cheating and stealing. Although he was not evil, he was definitely not a good person.
He admired the men of the Fish-dragon Gang and other gangs, but he did not like this ruffian at all. Somehow, when he saw him today, he felt disappointed and warm. It was probably because of the ruffian's appearance that he and Li Guangdi no longer felt as lonely and helpless as before.
The ruffian did not dare to get off the wall. He sat on the wall in an ugly posture, holding a dozen bricks in his arms and throwing them at the Abbey Dean in the middle of the street, followed by a series of profanities.
"I'll smash you to death! … You son of a bitch! … You son of a bitch! You son of a bitch! "
Zhang Nianzu came to his senses and cursed along with the ruffian on the wall. His voice suddenly became hoarse, and he threw the chopper in his hand at the Abbey Dean. Li Guangdi also threw the melon fork in his hand.
The green bricks with residual snow marks kept falling from the top of the wall. The two choppers and fork broke through the snow, but none of them could even touch the Abbey Dean's clothes. They all fell to the ground.
The Abbey Dean walked on calmly as long as the objects were not close to him and the words were not heard.
…
…
However, another chopper flew over from the air.
A black pot flew over from the other side of the courtyard wall.
A bamboo pole for drying clothes fell from upstairs.
Boiling hot tea was thrown over together with an expensive teapot.
Countless Tangs appeared on the courtyard wall and in the teahouses on the street.
There was the tea master, the female boss of the tofu stall, urchins, and ruffians.
They held the heaviest things in their hands and threw them at the Taoist priest on the street.
They cursed the noblest Taoist priest and his parents with the most filthy words.
The Vermilion Bird Avenue, which was silent a moment ago, suddenly became noisy.
Chang 'an, which was like a dead city a moment ago, suddenly became alive.
The Tang, who had been hiding a moment ago, had suddenly appeared.
They used to be afraid, so they stayed at home silently, waiting for the outcome of the battle between Taoism and the Academy. They were even in fear now, because they were mortals.
But when they found out that the Academy was defeated, they suppressed their fear and came to the place where they were needed, just like the two teenagers from Sanyuanli and the ruffian.
They wanted to protect the master of the Academy and Chang 'an, because the Academy belonged to the Tangs, and the country belonged to the Tangs. As the Tangs, they had to contribute, even if they had to sacrifice their lives.
The men in black from the Fish-dragon Gang poured out from the street.
Dozens of the last Yulin Royal Guards rode over from the Vermilion Bird Avenue.
The cultivators from the Imperial Center Administration secretly came from the wind and snow.
The old woman led her family to the Vermilion Bird Avenue.
An old man with a stick walked behind the crowd.
Not far from the old man was a skinny Taoist priest.
The skinny Taoist priest led the little Taoist priest in the temple, holding the incense burner used to worship Heaven. He looked fierce, like a gangster.
Everyone had a ferocious expression on their faces.
The kind-looking Tangs, the righteous Tangs, and the pious Tangs all became gangsters at this moment. Chang 'an became a city of sin.
Because everyone in the city wanted to fight with their lives on the line and kill.
