Join the Great Wall Guard

Chapter 111 The Guardian of Chang'an, Zhong Kui ([-])

The chaos above the sky gradually receded, replaced by the descending night.

Regarding the city of Chang'an, there is a legend among scholars: At midnight, the sound of the evening drum, which no one beats, knocks on the mysterious door, where the glory of the past is hidden.

The only time when creation appears before human eyes is at midnight.

When the time comes, the drum will sound and the "door" will open.It began to patrol its city, cleaning up any life forms it judged as ghosts and ghosts: those who tried to destroy Chang'an.

It's not just rumors, people who call it a "ghost", even it itself doesn't know when it was born, who created it, let alone what its name is.

However, the only memory imprinted and flowing in his body is to guard this great city.Perhaps, this is his life's mission and the meaning of existence.

Its huge body penetrates into the ancient chaos, enough to swallow any rebels and throw them into eternal darkness.

However, even so, many people are still groping, trying to find a way to defeat it.

People deeply understand its horror, but even this fear cannot overcome the desire in human nature.It is the guardian of Chang'an, the mysterious door where it is, that makes them fascinated and eager.

This "door" leads to too many, too many coveted mysteries: organs, magic ways, immortality, time, and... the wisdom of the root.

How many people have been buried in the void in search of this wisdom?It has long ceased to count.Garbage should go in the trash can.

The guardians of Chang'an have never shown mercy to those little ghosts who challenged the authority of Chang'an and sacrificed their lives for their desires.

Even those who are afraid of themselves call themselves Chang'an city management, walking in the void, guarding the secrets hidden in the depths of Chang'an, the patron saint who wipes out those jumping clowns——Zhong Kui.

Although Zhong Kui would only start its actions at midnight, today, just as night fell, it poked its huge body out of the "door".

"Forbidden Power"

The voice that came out of the void was like Zhong Kui's huge body, and even made the surrounding air tremble.

The huge body like a tower, the creation of ancient mechanisms, symbolizes the traces of endless years.

Zhong Kui's body was glowing with a strong blue light, like the faintly flickering will-o'-the-wisp in the Nine Nether Underworld. If ordinary people saw it, they would be so frightened that they would pass out.

Zhong Kui has no human face, or in layman's terms, it is a "ghost face".Its body is made of mysterious materials, and in the middle of its chest, there is a ghostly magic light shining, which faintly contains extremely mysterious and powerful power.

Moreover, on its right hand, it is firmly holding a magic sickle, which also blooms with azure blue magic energy, engraved with ancient and mysterious patterns, and inlaid with strange gems.

Zhong Kui is not naked either, on his arms are decorated with two shoulder armors of skulls, which is frightening; his waist is more like a judge from the underworld, wearing a hard armor.

However, Zhong Kui has no legs, and his entire huge body is floating in mid-air, walking on the deserted streets of Chang'an, once people bump into him, it is difficult not to make people think of ghosts.

"Forbidden forces must be eradicated"

Muttering alone and lonely, Zhong Kui moved towards the center of the fluctuations transmitted by the power of the demonic way

At the same time, Lu Yu and Gongsunli split up to search for Ming Shiyin's trace.

However, relying on the moonlight alone, it was difficult to spot that ghostly figure.Ever since, Lu Yu climbed to the tall building in Chang'an City, from the height down, staring at the silent ground.

Of course, Lu Yu's goal is not only Ming Shiyin, but also the legendary Chang'an city manager——Zhong Kui.

This time, Lu Yu had a premonition that Ming Shiyin's goal was not Wu Zetian, but Zhong Kui.

However, Lu Yu couldn't say why he had something to do with Zhong Kui. He knew very little about the king's background, so he could only rely on his own hands to find the answer.

"Whoosh——"

While searching the ground, he heard a piercing sound coming from behind him. Looking back, he saw the sudden purple awn, and Lu Yu immediately dodged from the spot.

"boom!"

When the purple awn fell to the roof of the tall building, there was a big explosion immediately, the smoke and dust rolled up, and the rubble was turned into countless fragments.

"Ming Shiyin!"

He suddenly raised his head, but saw Ming Shiyin, Yang Yuhuan and Yi Xing beside him, all staring at him with cold eyes.

"Lu Yu, do you really have to meddle in so much business?!"

Uncommonly showing that ferocious expression, Ming Shiyin said coldly.

This seemingly unremarkable young man has broken through his hexagrams and illusions twice, and he is definitely a big worry for Ming Shiyin.

From the time when he despised Lu Yu as an ant-like existence, to now he had to be wary of his power. This was the first time that Ming Shiyin felt hesitant.

Moreover, the prophesied hexagrams told Ming Shiyin more than once that Lu Yu was the biggest stumbling block on his way to success.

Even when Ming Shiyin wanted to see Lu Yu's future and past clearly through his hexagrams, he only glimpsed an endless abyss.

Lu Yu was the first person who made Ming Shiyin unable to predict and predict the future.

"Why, do you also find me annoying?"

Lu Yu looked straight at Ming Shiyin, not at all afraid of the obvious killing intent emanating from him.

"Before, I was indeed the one who underestimated you, but this time, you have no chance to escape."

"Yixing."

With a sharp corner of his eye, he glanced at the young man beside him, and Yi Xing said respectfully, "Understood."

Immediately, the chess pieces in his hand turned into a thunderous storm, and a huge chessboard suddenly manifested from the void.

The huge chessboard, like an infinite universe, turned into a starry sky.

"Again?!"

Lu Yu retreated quickly, trying to escape from the range of the chessboard, otherwise if he was suppressed by him, the consequences would be disastrous!

However, the lightning-fast speed was entangled by the sudden sound of the piano, and for a while, Lu Yu became much slower.

"Boom--"

Just the moment Lu Yu got rid of the entanglement of the notes, the chessboard in the void had already descended to the top of his head.

Besieged in the Tianyuan chessboard, the mysterious yin and yang power contained in the chessboard imprisoned Lu Yu, making it difficult for him to move.

"Lu Yu, this is the last chance for you."

Looking at Lu Yu who was in a desperate situation, Ming Shiyin sneered.

"Join me and help me create a new era together. As a reward, I will let you get what you dream of."
