Chapter Twenty-Nine: Extinction and Rebirth
The angry lightning in the sky finally broke free from the cage imprisoned by the black clouds, the air seemed to tremble, and the originally gentle and calm river surface instantly became undulating, and the river waves slapped fiercely on both banks, making a roar like a tiger's roar, making people feel suffocated, yes, the storm is coming.
Tan Shaoxuan, who was swimming desperately in the undulating waves, vaguely saw the old man waving at him on the other side of the shore, he was already tired and full of strength at this time, getting closer and closer to the shore, he rubbed his eyes, and the old man who was standing on the shore and beckoning seemed to be gone.
At this time, every household in Xuanyuan Ancient Town was brightly lit, and everyone went out one after another, and the sound of coughing, shouting, and dogs was mixed into an altar, resounding in every corner of the ancient town.
Tan Shaoxuan came to the theater slowly with wet and wet feet, and saw the looming old man beckoning to him at the door of the theater, he gritted his teeth and walked over slowly.
Opening the door, the old man had already put on his costume, looming, he looked at his last apprentice with a smile, slowly turned into a little spot of light, and disappeared in front of Tan Shaoxuan's eyes.
At this time, Tan Shaoxuan jumped on the stage, took a deep breath, he seemed to be able to hear Xuanyuan Divine Dog talking to himself in his mind, he could feel that it seemed to really exist, but he couldn't see it, at this time the music of Miao Opera appeared in his mind, Tan Shaoxuan took off the Miao Opera costume on the stage, put it on carefully, and then stood slowly in the middle of the stage, with the moon as his companion and the sky as the crowd, he felt its anger, and he wanted to tell it the situation here.
Lifting the feet, kicking the legs, and closing the feet to dance the Miao opera that only the dramatists will dance in this ancient town, every action is so chic, every step is so steady, sweeping the hall legs, raising one hand, returning to the face and jumping in the air, wonderful! The wind is cheering for the young dramatist, the branches are applauding the young dramatist, even nature has shed tears of excitement, and the lightning in the sky is like the light wave of communication, conveying the tragedy of this ancient town, this region and even the last dramatist in the world to Xuanyuan Divine Dog.
Suddenly, the villagers rushed to the scene, kicked over the tables and chairs under the stage in a chaotic manner, and drank water
The bowls and cups were broken, and they pressed the young joker to the ground, the hideous faces of the villagers were frightening, the smug smirk of the long-bearded elders was disgusting, the action of Aunt Liu hugging the long-bearded old man was awkward, and Zhang Ana's tears of crying were pitiful. The townsfolk stepped on the props of the Miao opera on the ground, cheering and rejoicing, and they were glad that they had captured the young player and wanted to bring him to justice.
Tan Shaoxuan watched the townspeople pull off their Miao opera costumes and throw them on the ground, and showed a happy smile, he was weak and powerless to resist, at this time, a stick as big as an arm slowly smashed into Tan Shaoxuan's head.
Shao Xuan's eyes darkened, and he fell to the cold ground.
At this time, Tan Shaoxuan faintly heard the sound of wind and dripping water in his ears, he slowly opened his eyes, and found that there were stone walls all around, and there were two strangers sleeping next to the stone wall, he slowly stood up and looked at the giant statues around him, some of which resembled animals, Some resemble human shapes, as well as huge stone sculptures of dragons and phoenixes, although they are auspicious in the folk, but looking at these stone sculptures makes people extremely frightened, at this time there are many beasts roaring not far away, as if they are chasing something, suddenly someone outside the stone pillar is holding a flashlight that is not too bright, sweating profusely and running and shouting.
"They're coming, they're coming, guys, run!"
The sleeping two woke up immediately, and the strong one shouted to Tan Shaoxuan.
"Hey, Prophet, what are you looking at, let's go to the inner sanctum!"
Tan Shaoxuan looked dazed, feeling that their outfits were extremely weird, he was looking at the clothes he was wearing, he was shocked, he thought he should be dreaming, at this time the strong man picked up the woman with the broken leg, and shouted to Tan Shaoxuan again.
"Prophet, if you don't leave, we're really going to give an account here. ”
This is Tan Shaoxuan asking the strong man.
"Where is this in Xuanyuan Ancient Town, and who are you?"
The woman with the broken leg said angrily.
"What Xuanyuan Ancient Town, that town was flooded ten years ago, no one survived, here you brought us, saying that there is treasure, are you lying to us?
The woman with a broken leg suddenly rushed over and grabbed Tan Shaoxuan's collar and pushed him to the ground, and all kinds of totem seals in Tan Shaoxuan's pocket also fell to the ground messily.
The strong man immediately picked up the woman with the broken leg and said to her.
"Quit your anger, quench your anger! Let's run for our lives first, avoid this festival and settle accounts with the prophet, get on my back and I will carry you away. ”
Tan Shaoxuan looked at the various totem seals scattered on the ground, and at this time, the short man who was shouting and running ran to help the woman with the broken leg with the strong man, and the strong man shouted to Tan Shaoxuan.
"Prophet, I won't be able to save you if you don't keep up. ”
After saying that, the three of them quickly supported each other and fled quickly, inside the stone hall, at this time, those strange roars were getting closer and closer, Tan Shaoxuan suddenly felt uneasy in his heart, and hurriedly picked up the totem seal on the ground.
Suddenly.
In the distance, an ugly creature that resembled a humanoid but crawled with blue-faced fangs rushed out first, looking at Tan Shaoxuan, it could roar, and there were more and more similar creatures behind, Tan Shaoxuan was so frightened that he didn't dare to turn back, and ran away.
The four of them ran to a gate in the hall, and the surrounding area was closed, and only by opening the gate could there be a way out, but the pillar was printed with ancient characters, and in desperation, they pulled out the machetes on their bodies, and the strong man shouted at Tan Shaoxuan.
"We're going to buy you time and find a way to open this door, or we'll all die here. ”
The piercing roar was getting closer and closer, Tan Shaoxuan looked up at these ancient words, he was surprised that he could actually understand what these words said, and he said to them excitedly.
"Not only do they have their own language, it turns out that the Miao people have their own script, you see, these are Miao languages!"
"Don't talk nonsense, find a way out, or we won't last long. ”
Hearing the roar of the woman with the broken leg, Tan Shaoxuan pointed to each row of words and read it out loud.
"We, the Jiuli clan, are especially headed by the god of war......"
The roaring engine woke up Tan Shaoxuan, he slowly opened his eyes, it turned out that all this that happened just now was a dream, the police car started shaky, and drove away slowly, when he raised his hand again, he found that his hands were already handcuffed, looking out of the window of the police car, the villagers all got on the boat and slowly dispersed, some were coughing, some were singing happily, only Zhang Ana was still standing motionless in the middle of the road, he looked at Zhang Ana's figure from big to small and tears flowed down instantly.
The policeman knocked on the glass twice, lifted the lightweight backpack and gave Tan Shaoxuan a look.
"This is a girl named Zhang Ana gave it to us, saying that it was your thing, what is going back to the police station to say. ”
Tan Shaoxuan turned his head slowly, leaning his blood-stained head against the windshield, staring blankly
A flash of road light flashing outside the car window. Taking a deep breath, he smiled a little, as if he had let go of something in his heart, but he felt a little uneasy when he thought of the scene in his dream.
Two speeding police cars whizzed past the side of the road, when the lights of a motorcycle on the side of the dark road suddenly turned on, and the voice of a young woman came from the car.
"You want to see people alive, you want to see corpses when you die, don't let him escape this time. ”
The mysterious young man with the motorcycle helmet said excitedly.
"Yes!
