"What's going on? What's going on?"
"Is there really an immortal in the sky?"
"Shut up. How can we talk about this kind of thing?"
There was a lot of discussion. They even left their posts and gathered together to look at the sky. Surprise, uneasiness, and disbelief all shrouded them.
"What are you doing?"
A guard with a Tang sword at his waist strode out with a solemn face. He was followed by a team of ten people, each holding a three-edged bayonet and killing decisively.
The guard's name was Xi Lian, the general of Chang 'an City. He was resting in the city when someone reported that an unknown object had appeared in the sky. He specially came to check it out. It turned out that these people had gathered together to watch the fun.
"General, something happened in the sky."
Seeing his superior coming, a guard quickly stepped forward, bowed, and pointed to the sky.
Xi Lian frowned and glanced at the sky in the direction of the guard's finger. In an instant, he felt uneasy. "What, what the hell is this? An immortal? His right hand, which was holding his saber, suddenly trembled. Fortunately, he was a military general, and he quickly restrained himself. He glanced at the sky unwillingly. It was still the same feeling. It was unbelievable. There was actually something flying in the sky?
He tried hard to suppress the horror in his heart. Holding the Tang sword tightly in his right hand, he asked in a trembling voice, "What is this?"
Based on his soldier's intuition, the thing in the sky was definitely not simple. However, it was not necessarily an immortal because he could not believe it.
"General, I don't know. However, the people in Chang 'an City all said that it was an immortal."
The guard lowered his body even more because the rumor came from Chang 'an City. As the general of Chang' an City, he would be implicated if there was any problem.
"What?"
Xi Lian's pupils shrank. He pushed away the guard in front of him and walked quickly to the edge of the city wall. He saw groups of people shouting on Chang 'an Street. Many people were pointing at the unknown object in the sky. Some had even knelt on the ground and kept praying. They were also calling for safety and an official career.
"Hurry up, hurry up and comfort the people in Chang 'an City. Try not to cause a disturbance."
He raised his trembling right hand and pointed at the people on the ground, the muscles on his face twitching.
This was Chang 'an City. So many people were discussing and even kneeling down. If something happened, how was he going to explain it to his superiors? More importantly, this matter was related to immortals. If His Majesty the Emperor knew that so many people were kneeling down to an unknown object in the sky, he would be done for.
"Yes, General."
Everyone bowed in unison.
All the guards did not dare to continue watching. They rushed down with Tang swords in their hands. They knew the severity of the matter. If more and more people gathered, it would be easy for people to die. In that case, it would be difficult for them to absolve themselves from the blame. Moreover, they only had respect for ghosts and gods. They did not believe in them or not.
"Bang bang bang …"
Sounds of footsteps could be heard coming from Chang 'an City. The guards were lined up in a square formation with triangular bayonets in their hands. They looked at the crazy people in front of them with a serious face. A young man holding a Tang Saber walked out from the group.
"Everyone, listen up. Don't stay on the street. Go home immediately."
The one who spoke was Sang Feng, the deputy general of Zhe Lian. He held a Tang Saber in his hand and looked at the people in front of him with a serious face. It seemed that he would start a fight if there was a disagreement.
However, his words did not have any effect. The people were still standing in the same place and discussing. Some of them were kneeling down as if they did not see him.
"Everyone, listen up. Don't stay on the street. Go home immediately."
Sang Feng was a little angry. He repeated it again. He decided that if the people did not go home, he would be ready to take coercive measures.
The effect was minimal. The people did not pay attention to his words at all. It was as if they had gone crazy. The number of people kneeling down even rose sharply.
"Men, get ready to force your way in."
Sang Feng raised his right hand and gave the order. "Don't hurt the people. Just drive them home."
"Yes …"
The people behind him answered in unison. Then, they put the triangular bayonets in their hands on their waists and rushed out.
"What are you doing? Stop it. "
"Why are you stopping me from kneeling down to the immortal?"
The attack of the crowd immediately caused a fierce response from the people. They used their bodies as shields and started to resist the soldiers. Due to the large number of people, the soldiers were actually at a disadvantage. In addition, without orders, they did not dare to harm the people. Gradually, the situation began to deteriorate.
On the city tower, Zhe Lian looked at all this. He clenched his right fist and cold sweat flowed down his forehead. He had a bad feeling. The people were gathering and kowtowing on the ground. If this went on for too long, it would definitely cause a mutiny. It seemed that he had to inform the High Duke.
Thinking of this, he slammed his palm on the brick. He glanced at the people and soldiers in the chaotic battle unwillingly and left with a flick of his sleeves.
"Prepare the horse. Let's go to High Duke Lu's residence."
With that, he quickly walked down the city tower.
The horse downstairs was already prepared. Zhe Lian jumped on the horse and rushed to High Duke Lu's residence.
