As the sound spread further and further, there was a commotion on the streets of Chang 'an. The peddlers were not in the mood to sell their goods, and the manservants stopped shouting. They all looked up at the sky with fear, doubt, and disbelief written all over their faces.
Because in their education, the Jinx was a sign that a disaster was coming. If the Tang Dynasty was going to be hit by a disaster, what should they do? They were just ordinary people. Did God want them to die?
The defense line in their hearts began to collapse bit by bit. Fear took over their bodies and minds. Some people even knelt down and began to pray, hoping to pray for themselves and their families so that the Jinx would show mercy.
After the first person knelt down, the second, the third, and countless people began to kneel down. The streets of Chang 'an were filled with people kneeling down. They put their hands together and kept kowtowing on the ground. They were also chanting, hoping that the Jinx would spare them and their families so that their families would suffer less. Soon, the streets of Chang' an were covered with blood. On average, one could see people kneeling down with every step.
Of course, not everyone knelt on the ground. Some people who cared about their families could not stay any longer and ran home. However, there were too many people kneeling down. For a moment, there were fights and mutinies. In less than a quarter of an hour, the streets of Chang 'an were filled with blood and flesh. Arms and legs were hanging on the side of the street. The scene was very frightening.
This scene quickly attracted the attention of the soldiers stationed in Chang 'an City. They looked in the direction of the people's kowtowing to the sky. As a result, they saw something they had never seen before. To be precise, it was something they had never seen before in their lives. There was an unidentified flying object in the sky? This was …
Their faces were full of horror. The spears in their hands seemed to have lost their strength and slid to the ground. Their hands kept pointing at the sky. The muscles on their faces trembled. Shock and uneasiness shrouded them.
Was it really like what the people said? The Jinx had appeared in the sky?
Was the Jinx about to descend? Was the world going to be in chaos?
All kinds of doubts surrounded the people like a haze that could not be dispersed.
Logically speaking, they were all soldiers. They only had awe and even a little doubt in their hearts. However, based on the historical materials of the past and the various signs of the people today, this was really the Jinx. It was going to kill people.
Since the world was going to be in chaos? Then what was the point of being a soldier? Since they were going to die sooner or later, they might as well go home first. Moreover, the people had already rebelled. As the guards of Chang 'an City, they would definitely be punished. In that case, they might as well take care of their own business.
At the thought of this, many soldiers began to run down the city tower. They didn't dare to wait any longer. They wanted to reunite with their families. Every moment of delay meant one less moment of reunion. Even if they were to die, they wanted to die together.
Everyone was selfish.
Humans are fearful of the unknown.
Humans have emotions too. In the face of life and death, they would only worry about their loved ones.
They were soldiers, but they were also human beings. They were not inferior to ordinary people. In fact, they valued these things more than ordinary people.
After the first deserter, the second deserter soon followed. The gate of Chang 'an City was opened wide, and countless soldiers began to file out. Their destination was not the battlefield, but their hometown.
More and more deserters began to run down the city tower. With the flow of people in and out, the city gate was congested. Countless people were trampled to death.
There were also some deserters who saw that they couldn't get in or out of the city gate. They even chose to jump off the city wall. One could imagine the consequences of jumping off the city wall, which was more than ten meters high. However, they didn't hesitate, and they didn't dare to hesitate. Because once the star of calamity appeared, it would be more terrible than death.
Just as everyone rushed down the city tower crazily, a guard general strode out with a Tang sword at his waist. His face was solemn, and he was followed by a team of ten people. Each of them was holding a three-edged bayonet and killed decisively.
"What are you doing?"
This guard general was called Su Lian. He was the guard 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, but he saw this tragic scene.
Everyone looked up and saw that it was the general. As if they had seen their backbone, they stopped jumping off the building, but their bodies kept trembling.
"General, the star of calamity has appeared in the sky."
"The people have gone crazy."
Some people pointed at the people under the city wall, while others pointed at the unknown object in the sky. Their voices became more and more trembling.
Star of calamity?
Su Lian frowned and glanced at the sky in the direction of the guard general's fingers. In an instant, he felt terrible. "What, what the hell is this?
Why is there something flying in the sky?
This was not logical at all. Why would such a situation occur?
Is it really like what everyone said? The star of calamity has appeared? The world will be in chaos?
The world will be in chaos? " Thinking of these words, his right hand that was holding the sword suddenly trembled, and he couldn't help but feel cold. If that's the case, then the Tang Dynasty will be finished!
The people will be finished!
Right, there are also the people. Have the people gone crazy?
