Wandao long distance

Chapter 291 Chaos in Chang'an
A small tributary of the dragon vein was overloaded.

The dragon vein is a huge energy source that runs through all the lands of the Tang state. It is the source of energy for the cardinals of all worlds, and is also responsible for supplying energy to all institutions in Chang'an.

If a small tributary is overloaded, there will be a strange scene in Chang'an that cannot be seen in a hundred years.

That's... a blackout.

In a block of Chang'an, on the street where Sansheng Ancient Mirror is located, there was a sudden flicker.

Immediately afterwards, the lights in the street suddenly went out.

Road signs on the surface, automated navigation, and all kinds of common public magic weapons, including houses, furniture, traffic lights, billboards on the roadside, etc., all suddenly went out.

This can be said to be a once-in-a-century scene in Chang'an.

In just an instant, the distance of a street of seven or eight miles was completely extinguished.

However, the impact of the overloading of the tributaries of the dragon's veins is not limited to this little bit.

Soon, people in this area found that their terminals had no signal.

Because the cardinals from all worlds have also stopped working in this place!
Alarm bell works!

Immediately afterwards, the blackout area began to spread!
One street, two streets, three streets!

The blackout has begun to spread!This time not just the street, but the blackout started by area.

In less than 5 minutes, the power outage area has expanded to a radius of 240 six miles. In this area, all public magic weapons have been shut down, and the cardinals of all worlds have failed here!

In a mess!
Chang'an's roads are densely packed like a circle of thread, and the various traffic rules are extremely complicated, and there are countless things like one-way streets, not to mention the specific routes stipulated in the sky.

Therefore, whether it is an aircraft or a vehicle, they all rely heavily on the cardinals and terminals of various worlds to lead the way. The automatic navigation system is an indispensable part of Chang'an people.

But at this moment, everything stopped!
Vehicles collided with each other, aircraft lost guidance, car accidents, plane crashes, and aircraft crashed into those magnificent buildings.

Originally, these buildings had automatic defense mechanisms, and when they collided, they would bounce things away to ensure that both sides were safe, but now there is no energy source, and all public magic weapons have failed!
Except for a few private treasures, Chang'an is in chaos in this area!
About 6 minutes later, officials from the Municipal Department and the Emergency Department had received a large number of notifications and distress signals and responded quickly.

In the 10th minute of the blackout, Cardinal Zhujie suddenly forcibly restarted!A colossal force penetrated the space and descended on this chaotic area.

However, this area was not energized, but the function of the official rescue terminal was opened and maintained.

Immediately afterwards, in the inner city, countless figures rose up.

If the raindrops were dense, in an instant, more than a thousand seventh-rank backup teams were activated, and rushed towards the blackout area at high speed!

They were divided into a special road by the cardinals of all worlds, and the traffic in the sky was temporarily stopped to allow them to hurry.

There are people everywhere, and each person has his own place. Countless seventh-rank powerhouses crossed out, pouring four injections like timely rain, and landed in the area where Chang'an was shut down in a very short period of time.

Then, there are gods.

However, countless lower-level gods, and even the great god in charge of the Chang'an area, all moved!

The capable ones among the residents all started to help themselves.

In Chang'an, it was not allowed to use magical powers at will. If you want to use it, you need to get official permission.

But now, a large number of permits have been issued at the same time, and the cardinals of all worlds forcibly restarted, giving priority to the terminal startup here.

Just now a flying machine slammed into a high-rise building. Although it has lost its power, it is a magic weapon after all. The flying machine rubbed against the wall fiercely. The family above looked terrified and kept shouting.

At this moment, a golden shadow was seen descending, and using its supernatural powers, it quickly stabilized the aircraft and let it fall slowly.

"Thank you, God of Road! Thank you, God of Road!" The family above hurriedly thanked the golden shadow, feeling a little relieved.

The road god, the god in charge of the streets, also participated in the rescue at this time.

"Don't move around after you land, it's very dangerous here now, I have to rescue other people, goodbye." The road god struggled to slowly place the aircraft on the ground, and then rushed to the next one without stopping.

He is just a rank nine deity with limited abilities.

For the other eight ranks, the seventh rank is even faster.

But there was a water god who emerged from the river, manipulated the water vapor, turned it into a water column, and cooperated with the emergency department to quickly extinguish the fire caused by the explosion.

Looking at the sky again, several seventh-rank monks are cooperating to arrange a large formation, and spread out the whirlwind formation in the blink of an eye, but see the wind blowing under the feet of those falling in the sky, and they are blown up. Although the aircraft fell, their lives were saved. .

Looking at the other side, the two seventh-ranks joined forces, one person marked, and the other followed the mark and used the method of teleportation that he was good at, to catch all people to his side.

A radius of more than 200 miles is already a considerable distance. Given the dense population of Chang'an, millions of people may be affected by the disaster.

But the current rescue efforts have kept casualties in the triple digits, and only a few hundred people died or were injured due to untimely rescue.

At the beginning of life, each person is selfish, and each person has his own interests; there are public interests in the world, and no one can promote them; Prosperity, public nuisance and public elimination, then self-interest will be sufficient and self-inflicted harm will be eliminated.

Since the beginning of this world, people have been selfish. In society, no one has done anything that is beneficial to everyone, and no one has resolved anything that is harmful to everyone. That's why this world has become worse and worse.

A simple prisoner's dilemma has become an unsolvable problem. When it is enlarged to the whole society, how many things are there for small private interests at the expense of public interests?There are not a few people who push the fate of a country to death for their own self-interest.

As long as people are allowed to reshape the world, as long as everyone is impartial, then everyone will have their own interests.

As for the existence of 'inhumans', that is not within the scope of consideration of humanity, those things are just resources.

Humanity will not consider the ideas of pigs, dogs, cattle and sheep, what they pursue is a world of great harmony for all people with a public heart.

Now, it is the embodiment of all this in the outside world.

Moreover, in addition to these grassroots rescue personnel, more senior personnel have gone deep into the underground of Chang'an.

The directors of the Municipal Department and the Emergency Department, and two officials under the fifth rank have taken the lead in sneaking into the ground to explore the root cause of the fluctuation of the dragon vein and the shutdown of the Cardinals of the Worlds.

While walking underground in Chang'an, the chief secretary of the city said at the same time: "This matter is strange. The branch of the dragon vein can supply two third-grade magic weapons. It is absolutely impossible to overload it. Infiltrated into a tributary without realizing it?"

"There may be a traitor in Chang'an, and the status is not low. I'm afraid there are some unknown things about such a high-ranking traitor just because of this trivial matter." The emergency director said.

They had discussed it many times on the way, and they all felt that there was something wrong with this matter.

If you want to overload the tributaries of the dragon veins, it must be possible for several third-rank magic weapons to exert their full power to do so.

A person who can manipulate several third-rank magic weapons will not be a low-rank in itself, and naturally it is impossible to occupy a low-ranking position in the Tang Kingdom.

This kind of traitor was exposed just because of this confusion?
Not worth it.

Although the disturbance this time was very large, it was very likely that second-rank officials would intervene in person, and this was the first large-scale disturbance since the reconstruction of Chang'an, so it would inevitably be broadcast to the whole country and be treated as a model for rectification.

The black hats of the two of them must have been worn to the end, and now they are just doing their last duty when they come down to check.

But, the "big" refers to the big symbolic meaning.

If you really want to say how much damage has been caused, it is really not much. Hundreds of seventh-ranks were mobilized, some magic weapons below the seventh-rank were lost, and some building cornices were damaged. The casualties were only a few hundred.

The biggest loss is not even these, but the cardinals of all worlds forcibly restarted here, and restored the communication of all terminals without the power of the dragon veins. The cost of this matter is greater than all the losses mentioned before. .

How could someone do such a thing?
With doubts in their hearts, the two of them communicated and explored.

However, they soon discovered something useful.

After some investigation, they found the source of all fluctuations below the city.

"It is the Sansheng Ancient Mirror that extracts the tributaries of the dragon's veins, and it is still going on." The chief secretary of the city frowned.

The Three Lives Ancient Mirror is just an ordinary third-grade magic weapon. It is usually activated once a month to help people observe their weaknesses. How could it be possible to draw overload from the tributary of the dragon's veins?
"Three Lives Ancient Mirror? Wait, let me adjust the information." The emergency director said immediately.

At critical moments, the emergency department has the authority to view some secret documents, and it is obviously very critical now.

The documents about the Sansheng Ancient Mirror were called up quickly, and then he read them carefully.

"The ancient mirror of three lives has just been applied by the people of Taixue for examination. The last time it was used was 25 days ago. The cavalry general Zhang Nesi used it to observe his own weaknesses. The last time it was used was three months ago. It's gone." The emergency director immediately said to the city director next to him.

It is very common to call for Taixue exams, nothing special, the magic weapon is to be used, what not to do?Do you have cubs?
Every time Taixue takes a big exam, it will apply for a bunch of what is there and what is not, and it is used to arrange a suitable exam room for the students, so as to ensure that everyone can show their true strength.

"What now? Is the exam still going on? How is that student?" the chief secretary asked immediately.

"I don't know, but the root cause has been found. Go up and have a look, see if you can interrupt the passage and force the Sansheng ancient mirror to stop." The emergency director said.

The two said, and rushed up quickly.

They didn't dare to cut off the energy directly, for fear that something would happen to Sansheng Gujing.

After all, it is a third-grade magic weapon. Although it has not been born with wisdom for some reasons, it is still just a tool, but even if it is just a tool, if something goes wrong with this thing, it will be at the level of mass destruction, so it must be guarded against.

Then, they chased all the way up and came to the temple.

The people in the temple had already evacuated. This was the first place where the dragon veins were overloaded, and the accident happened the fastest. The practitioners inside had already evacuated everyone.

There was only one old monk standing outside the door, waiting anxiously.

It took the two directors less than ten seconds to rush from the ground to the door of the house where Sansheng Gujing was placed. They happened to see an old monk standing at the door of the courtyard, sweating anxiously, as if waiting for something.

"Monk, what's going on here? Why don't you go to avoid the disaster?" The emergency director immediately stepped forward and asked.

When the old monk saw someone finally came, he breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly said, "Someone has come! There are still two people in this room who have not left. The poor monk really dare not leave them, so he stays here and waits for the rescuers to come." Woolen cloth!"

The Municipal Secretary immediately said: "Don't worry, talk slowly, what happened, tell us in detail?"

While speaking, both of them noticed it.

In the room where the Sansheng ancient mirror was placed, the door seemed to be suppressed by something strange.

A special force, twisted into a ball, mixed the universe and cosmic light, and sealed this room firmly!

This blocking power seems to be extremely strong, but it hasn't spilled out, so they can't tell the grade.

Seeing this, the old monk quickly told the whole story.

It turned out that when Li Qi went in for the exam for 10 minutes, suddenly, the universe here froze, and soon even Zhou Guang was crushed into a ball!
After that, the old monk wanted to report, but as soon as he took out the terminal, the surrounding dragon veins were directly overloaded, and the signal of the terminal was directly interrupted, followed by a series of blackouts and the failure of public magic weapons, causing frequent chaos.

He organized the tourists in the temple to leave as soon as possible for refuge, but he didn't dare to leave when he thought that there was still a student and examiner in the room who hadn't come out, so he stood guard at the door and waited for someone to come to rescue him.

After listening to the old monk's description, the two directors looked at each other, then hurriedly reported the matter, and then let the old monk leave and evacuate the surrounding people.

Soon, there were only the two of them left in the courtyard.

The two fifth-rank, needless to say, do not need to exchange much, each cast their supernatural powers!
First block the five-mile radius, no one is allowed to enter!
Then set up restrictions, all locked from the inside to the outside, and nothing is allowed to pass through, not even the wind can blow in.

Then, the two prepared for protection, sacrificed their own magic weapons to protect their lives, and then carefully touched the chaotic forces that had condensed into a ball and blocked the outside world.

As soon as they touched it, they discovered that this thing seemed to be preventing everything from approaching!
After further research, the two of them were immediately terrified!
The emergency director exclaimed: "This... This is at least the power of the third rank, you and I can't handle it! Call for support!"

This group of chaotic forces seems to be the source of the Sansheng Ancient Mirror!

This thing is out of control, but it is still continuously absorbing the power of the outside world. It seems that it is frantically trying to break through some restrictions, but it has not been able to do so, it can only continue to cycle, and even overload.

This shows that these third-grade magic weapons are about to explode!
Hurry up and ask the ministers to deal with it!
