Soul Painter

Compared with the huge camp set up by Liu Xiu's coalition forces at the foot of Chang'an City.

The tent of the Chinese army that exploded appeared to be very small.

But after that cluster of small fireworks, a larger circle of flames suddenly exploded at the position of the Chinese military tent.

The clump of flames continued to explode and rise upwards.

In the end, it turned into a grotesque cloud tens of meters high.

It was reflected in the scorching sun at noon and lost its color.

Thousands of bright dots surround this huge flame of ever-changing shape like a guardian.

This luminous sphere is alive. After it stabilizes, it presents a dark orange surface, and the fire column-shaped energy that is constantly erupting outwards seems to be angry. It is preparing to punish the world.

As long as human beings see this huge fireball, they will feel unparalleled fear in their hearts, as if awakening the primitive instinct in life, awakening the panic and collapse when human beings face the flame for the first time.

Faced with this kind of wrath of the gods, Liu Xiu's army was the first to collapse. The entire camp exploded like an ant's nest that had been mysteriously dispersed, and a large number of human soldiers began to flee in all directions. It should be Liu Xiu's headquarters, or Liu Xiu's headquarters has already seen his true colors.

After all, after Gao Fan's identification, Liu Xiu is a son of God.

Gao Fan met Liu Xiu during one of his travels. Liu Xiu has the same aura as Lu Zhi. In the "distorted" field of vision, that kind of huge mystery seems to be a great existence in the world.

At this time, Gao Fan's system interface changed.

The system he thought had 'hibernated', or at least gave itself a break, had now issued a mission.

'Investigate the harvest of live flames in the 1st century AD. '

'Task reward: 1. 60 points of SAN; 2. Two curses of flame;'

Quest rewards are pretty routine.

But the system is finally alive.

After system certification, that great existence is Huoyan, and Liu Xiu is the son of Huoyan.

Now, Gao Fan is going to paint him.

Gao Fan is quite familiar with the painting of gods.

Although what he drew before was a superior race.

And the Living Flame is the old days.

Fortunately, it was painted for Liu Xiu, the Son of God, and not for Huo Yan.

Just when Gao Fan took out his drawing board and paintbrush from Boston Inspiration City, erected it on the head of Chang'an City, which was on the verge of war two thousand years ago, and began to paint the portrait of Liu Xiu in the form of divine fire.

The angry fireball hovering over Chang'an City, with the help of mysterious guidance, instantly noticed Gao Fan.

Then the fireball didn't say hello, it fell like a meteor towards Chang'an City, towards the place where Gao Fan was standing.

Hula la!

The flame scorched the air.

Let the suffocation approach Gao Fan before the flame arrives.

Gao Fan did not dodge or dodge in the fireworks, because according to his estimation, even if he ran, he would not be able to get out of the range of being bombed. Last week, never really.

But just then...

Whoosh whoosh!

Behind Gao Fan, a rain of arrows flew up into the sky. Although they were immediately ignited when they approached the fireball, they did hinder his pace a little.

Immediately after...

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

There was a huge sound of piercing through the air, and Gao Fan saw dozens of huge crossbow arrows shooting into the air. The crossbow arrows were as big as the scorpion crossbow that shot the dragon in the "Game of Thrones" TV series. It was also in the 1st century AD The bed crossbow that people have mastered is the strongest offensive weapon in this era.

boom!

Dozens of giant crossbows approached the fireball. This time he could not act as if nothing had happened. Not only did he evade, but he also started to make an emergency landing. Gao Fan escaped, and when he turned around, he saw the Habayashi Forbidden Army, a country with tens of thousands of people in bright armor The most elite troops have already started to stand on the top of the city. At the same time, Gao Fan also saw a six-horse carriage with a magnificent banner coming from the middle street of Chang'an City towards the city gate.

Wang Mang is here, and he plans to confront Liu Xiu head-on.

Gao Fan didn't think about it... Boom! The earth shakes and the mountains shake.

underfoot.

Gao Fan looked down the city.

I saw a big hole in the city gate not far away. The city gate was tens of meters high and wide, extremely majestic. A huge hole was opened, and a handsome young man dressed in white was standing at the hole, facing the defenders in the city.

"I am Liu Xiu from the Han Dynasty, you will not surrender yet!"

The miracles performed by Liu Xiu made the defenders feel insecure and did not even dare to attack him.

Only on the carriage of the emperor who was coming, Wang Mang picked up a bow and shot an arrow at Liu Xiuyao.

The arrow was several hundred steps away, not strong enough, not accurate enough, it only stuck a few steps away in front of Liu Xiu.

"Haha~ Rebel who usurped the Han Dynasty, your death date has come!" Although Liu Xiu uttered harsh words and destroyed the city gate, it was difficult to clean up the army for a while. He was alone, and he did not dare to stay here for too long For a long time, the method of turning into a living flame seemed to be unable to be used frequently. In the end, he was rescued by the elite department of the Chongling Army in the rear and left.

Wang Mang stood on the carriage frame, looking at Liu Xiu's retreating figure, showing resentment.

Suddenly, Wang Mang looked up at the city wall again, and he saw the painter.

"Is that him?" Wang Mang asked loudly.

Gao Fan nodded.

"Then have you drawn his appearance?" Wang Mang asked again.

Gao Fan shook his head.

It is not difficult to make a portrait of the second generation of gods. I just saw it in a hurry, and the degree of completion is far from complete.

"Waiting for the widow to capture him and let the painter draw on his face!" Wang Mang shouted with his long bow in his hand.

At this moment, all the troops should have joined in unison, with the power of a strong king, but the scene of Liu Xiu turning into the sky and smashing the gate of Chang'an just now really frightened these soldiers. , only Wang Mang's Habayashi Forbidden Army, the military appearance did not change, the military posture was neat, shouted long live, and the sound spread for ten miles.

...

"The widow is about to lose."

In the announcement room, Wang Mang summoned Gao Fan.

This is the sentence to meet.

"Not long ago, His Majesty was full of confidence, why did his mind change so quickly?" Gao Fan was surprised.

"Ten years ago, I met the artist for the first time. The artist said that he came from two thousand years later. I still didn't believe it. I didn't believe it until the artist showed the magic of immortality and could call things out of thin air." Wang Mang sighed, "These ten years In the book, the painter talked a lot about "advanced thinking and technological thinking" to the widows, and the widows also promoted some improvements, but there were many obstacles. In retrospect, it is all due to one point, that is, "the basic quality of the people" and "social Not productive enough'."

"Your Majesty is a smart man." Gao Fan also sighed. In the past ten years, he gave Wang Mang a lot of knowledge, but most of them didn't work. If I could sum it up in one sentence, it would be 'the limitations of history to the times', including productivity. on the cultural level of the people.

Wang Mang also said: "These reforms have hurt the interests of too many existing classes. Usually, few people hold heavy troops and can suppress them, but in the past three years, floods, droughts and natural disasters have continued. The wilderness is thousands of miles away, the sorrow is everywhere, and the arrogance engulfs the refugees. The world is in chaos, if only this is the case, the widows can conquer them one by one.

But Liu Xiu's son, who turned into a red sun, lost his army of 400,000 in the battle of Kunyang, so Liu Xiu took the opportunity to attack Chang'an, and the founding of the dynasty was in danger. "

Um. what's next? Gao Fan waited.

"Now I only have the forbidden army at my disposal. I want to entrust the forbidden army to the painter. How about raiding the bandit army tonight, capturing Liu Xiu, and the painter will kill him?" Wang Mang said.
