Chapter 676: Desire
"No matter if any living being no longer has any desires, when faced with something, there will always be desires, such as death. ”
Xu An said calmly.
With a wave of the brush in his hand, he shouted softly: "Day and night rotate, reflecting the candle flame, endlessly." ”
Flame has always been a symbol of light, and it can dispel darkness, especially the night and the strange existence from the Nine Shadows, even if the five Yin and Netherworld Divine Beasts are special, their essence belongs to the dark side of the world.
In the same way, fire and water are ruthless, and flames can also put people's lives at risk.
Most of the buildings in the village were made of wood, and in an instant they all started to burn, and the fire grew bigger and bigger.
"Senior brother, isn't it a little ruthless to do this. Wen Renming hesitated for a while, and asked cautiously, Xu An is becoming more and more strange at this moment, he was very kind before, but now he is decisive.
Even if these villagers are impregnated by the weird, they are also Terrans, and there is still hope of being saved, and according to the size of the village, there are at least a few hundred.
This flame is a Wendao spell, which is made by mobilizing the aura to burn, and ordinary water cannot extinguish it, at least all spells of the same level can extinguish this fire.
The turbidity fire is the flame that the literati visualize in their hearts, and as long as the thoughts in the heart are not extinguished, the flame is even more difficult to extinguish.
A fire must be followed by devastation.
The villagers will then face a scorched earth.
"Only a quick knife to cut through the mess, tonight should be a weird home field, and we are the descendants of the rotation scientists, and everything in rotation is our forte, and it is easy to attack and defend, otherwise, even if we stay in this village for a while, I am afraid there will be no gain. ”
"Didn't Hyacinth say it? After a long time in it, it will be assimilated, and the strange power comes from the Netherworld Divine Beast, and it should not be underestimated in the slightest. ”
Xu An's face remained unchanged, there were still fires, and some people came out of the houses one after another, quietly watching the fire burn, expressionless.
From the analysis of their clothing, in addition to the villagers of this village, there are also some traveling merchants, warriors, and even cultivators, but there are only two Xu An dressed as literati.
"In the face of life and death, these people have some reactions, whether the day is a play, or a bureau to invite you into the urn. Xu An waved the brush again, and a series of literary chains flew out, besieging this group of people.
"Senior brother, I'm afraid we're going to kill tonight. ”
Xu An was murderous, and his face showed a chilling look.
The surrounding martial artists, cultivators, don't seem to have the power to resist, let Xu Anyong's literary qi chains trap them, you must know that with cultivation in your body, you can at least mobilize some aura and produce the power of resistance.
"What my brother wants, I dare not refuse. Wen Renming sighed, holding the pen holder in his hand, his expression also became indifferent, since the literati have been in charge of supernatural spells, it is natural to avoid killing, otherwise what is the use of mastering supernatural means, this kind of fighting method, the ultimate essence is to fight, kill.
It's just that the literati and other means are a little softer, and the students of the hundreds of schools, all of whom have experienced some battles, are not exactly the flowers in the greenhouse, and the wisdom bonus brought by the literary atmosphere will make it easier for them to calm down and grasp the opportunity in the battle.
"Village chief, why don't you speak now. As soon as the Wenqi chain was pulled, the village chief who had greeted them before appeared in front of Xu An.
At this moment, the village chief is still the same appearance, the same as before, it is hard to imagine that when he fell asleep, the clothes of the people around him were the same as the part he saw during the day.
"Who are you, and why am I here?"
"Playing stupid?"
The slightly rich village chief's expression seemed to slowly recover, and he was no longer so confused, but he was still very unfamiliar with Xu An and the others.
"What?"
"It's not like a fake. Xu An frowned, could it be that only Hyacinth and his mother stayed awake at night, if it weren't for the fact that this fire endangered his life, and his life instinct was to avoid evil and escape from the flames, I am afraid he would not choose to go out.
The flames were controlled by Xu An, and all the wooden buildings around them were burned to ashes, except for some traces of the village chief's blue brick house, the rest were all burned, and the vast majority of the village were wooden buildings.
Naturally, it also includes the house of the Hyacinth's family, and it is strange that Hyacinth did not show any sad expression at all.
"Oh, it's you, stranger, why are you still restless when you come to our village, and you want to make trouble at night? After a while, the village chief seemed to have some more memories and became much more vivid.
But when he spoke, he still looked cold and extremely calm.
"Village Chief, don't you see that the village has been burned down. ”
Wen Renming couldn't help but ask.
The village chief turned his head, looked around, and replied lightly, "The village has been burned down." ”
"Senior brother, go and see if the rest of the people are exactly the same as this village chief. ”
Xu An commanded, on the other hand, his attention was all on Hyacinth's mother and son, and his intuition told him that these two characters were definitely the key.
Sleeping facing the wall, what is so special, Xu An now regrets a little, he knows that this information may be able to explain the relationship between the wolf-like beast and the people in the village, but this hyacinth is very tight-mouthed, and he can't force the biggest secret anyway.
A moment later
Wen Renming returned to Xu An's side with a solemn face, and replied: "Whether it is a few people I have met before, or some cultivators I have never met, they are all instinctive dialogue reactions, I have checked their bodies, the body of the martial artist is thick with blood and qi, and the cultivator's Yin God has no problem at all, and the mana is also normal, but it seems that something is missing." ”
"The wolf-shaped beast is probably the weirdness created by the rumored gluttony, specially used to devour the desires in people's hearts, and the method of devouring desires is probably through the eyes, no matter what kind of cultivation method has been mentioned, the eyes are a portal to the soul, so hyacinths let us sleep facing the wall, and the wolf-shaped beast can't look directly into our eyes. ”
The origin and origin of the five Yin and Netherworld Divine Beasts, Xu An has also seen some of them in books, rumored that there was a big war in the Nine Nethers in the past, and the five Yin Netherworld Gods ** wanted to seize the authority of the Nine Netherworlds, and had a big battle with the Nine Netherworld Divine Lords, and finally were killed by the body, only the gluttonous body turned into a mountain range, temporarily containing the true soul of the divine beasts of the five Yin Netherworld Divine Beasts.
The Nine Secluded Regions are special, and the true soul of the divine beast has not returned to the world, but exists in another form, which is why the later Stygian Phoenix made trouble in the world and was destroyed by Shui Ji and Xu Shishi.
"It is more reasonable to say that the disappearance of desire is not so much to be swallowed. Xu An thought back to everything that had happened before, and only this explanation was the most reasonable.
But in what form did the wolf-shaped beast exist, hyacinth or her mother, Xu An once again set his eyes on the two.
"Devouring desires, everyone has seven emotions and six desires, but there is a soul that dominates everything, these souls are all right, the body is normal, only the desires disappear, even if there is a memory, without any desire drive, it will become extremely slow, this is the rotation of thoughts. ”
"There is some truth in what the senior brother said, and the thoughts do not turn, so these people will behave like this. Xu An also nodded approvingly, Wen Renming's knowledge is not weak, and he also has some opinions on this.
Therefore, these cultivators, martial artists, are not weak, and they have no desire to resist at all, but on the contrary, Hyacinth and his mother are full of various emotions, and they are incompatible with the people in the village. ”
"Hyacinth, what else do you have to say. ”
The swarthy face of a child, whose head was covered by scattered hair, looked stubborn, and said: "You have destroyed everything, but you have also joined it, and everything will be destroyed and you will not be able to get out." ”
"Senior brother, the Hongyan pen flies around and takes a look at what's special. ”
This kind of literary technique, Xu An has not yet cultivated, and can only be used by Wen Renming.
A black and white wild goose flew over the village, constantly flying, until it was close to the edge of the village, and suddenly found that the outside world was all a layer of gray color, only the village was somewhat normal.
The wild goose flies and is extremely fast.
Broke through the edge of the village.
After moving forward in the gloomy world for a while, Xu An and the two had to return the same way, but fortunately, both of them stayed in the village with a literary atmosphere, and in this gloomy world, they could be used as a beacon.
"If you appear during the day, a passage to the outside world will appear. Wen Renming couldn't help but ask, just now in that gloomy world, he really couldn't see anything, and at this moment he also understood why the great Confucian of the Tianyan scholar escaped with difficulty.
The great Confucian treasure can't bring him a sense of security.
"No, Hyacinth doesn't lie. Xu An shook his head, he believed that many of Hyacinth's words were true, or he didn't say it, Hyacinth must have hidden this secret, and this secret was the key to solving the weirdness.
"If everything has a trajectory, and we kill the people in the village, then when the second day comes, will they all be resurrected, senior brother, didn't you find that the clothes of those warriors and cultivators or the people in the village seem to be a little old, although this place is remote, after all, it is near Tianmen Pass, and there are countless traveling merchants in the world, at least there will not be such a big gap. ”
After the end of the Great Tomorrow, for the sake of women's casual clothes, Wu Mingkong also began to transform robes and other things from commonly used folk clothing, so that women could act like men without being too constrained.
And the costumes of the women who appeared in the village seem to be a little cumbersome, as for the cultivators and martial artists, even more so, now the immortal Dao Dachang, the ten immortal sects were born, and the cultivators respect the immortals, which are closer to the clothes of the ethereal temperament, but different from the chaotic cultivation era in the past, and there are countless strange costumes.
Immortal Dao can be expected, many cultivators, admiring immortals, naturally imitate it, and become more immortal.
"I hadn't paid attention to this detail before. ”
"It's not the most important thing, it's how to find the wolf-like beast, it's the closest thing to a weird existence. ”
Wen Renming doesn't care about clothing either.
"Senior brother, you are wrong, if there is a problem with time, then the village we entered is not the village of the current time and space at all, the people in the village have long since run out of life, and they are constantly involving people from the outside world, so there will be such a phenomenon. ”
"So what?"
"They are all dead themselves, so Wenqi cannot be born, after the death of Confucianism, the Yin Soul will only be incomparably powerful and condensed, such as after the Nine Shadows, the soul is also extremely powerful, but there is no Wenqi, Wenqi can only be possessed by people before death, which also explains why Hyacinth could not be born Wenqi before. ”
"But we examined their bodies, and nothing was out of the ordinary. ”
"That's the weirdness, what we see, what we check, is the real existence, but it's just a state of their appearance. Xu An found that he had begun to figure out some strange traces.
Where is there anything really weird in the world, it's just beyond the cognition of ordinary people, and the supernatural powers and spells are also beyond the cognition of ordinary people, and the rest of the cultivators can't imagine that they can gain power and mobilize the aura of heaven and earth by reading, but instead the cultivators need to constantly refine the aura, comprehend the way of heaven, polish the mana, and practice magic powers. And the warrior also needs to polish his flesh and blood and constantly become stronger.
