CHAPTER XXVIII
The red light flashed, and a person was covered in fiery red, standing proudly on the stage, red clothes and red pants, red gauze cover, red cloak fluttering in the wind, unable to see the appearance, but from the outline it was a woman. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info From a distance, it looks like a flame is burning.
The red light flickered, causing the villagers of Wulipu to exclaim, as if they saw a real fairy, everyone had a serious expression and a pious demeanor, hula la knelt down, and the scene was spectacular.
The villagers knelt down reverently, begging for only Lang Li and the four people around the rain platform standing alone under the stage, and before they could understand what was going on, the flame-like people on the platform had already begun to attack.
"Who in the audience, why don't you kneel when you see this messenger of the Holy Spirit?"
The voice was ethereal and high-pitched, like that of a child, and it was not the sound that this person should have.
"This Holy Spirit, we are just passing by here to join in the fun, no offense, if you offend, please forgive me."
Lang Li clenched his fists and said softly to the Holy Spirit.
When the words fell, the Holy Spirit Messenger did not speak, as if he was thinking about something, and the red veil covered his face, and his expression could not be seen clearly.
Afraid of offending these holy spirits, the villagers bowed down and bowed, and secretly glanced at Lang Li, signaling them to kneel. It's just that how can these four people casually kneel down to an ethereal messenger of the Holy Spirit.
"Ignorant passer-by, do you know what happens if you offend the god of fire, do you want to implicate the entire villagers of Wulipu because of a few of you?"
The Holy Spirit on the prayer platform spoke again, and the voice was unusually sharp and eerie, which made people very uncomfortable.
She can fool the villagers with these tricks, how can she deceive Lang Li and them.
Lu Zixiao doesn't like to listen to it, he is a straightforward person who will say anything he wants.
"I said this Holy Spirit Messenger, this friend of mine has already said just now, we are just passing by here, no offense, if you think that we are here, affecting your divine might, we can go, is it not possible for the Heavenly King Lao Tzu to bow down to you when passing by here."
When the words fell, these kneeling villagers quietly discussed, and everyone seemed to be bored looking at Lang Li and the others, and at the same time, their expressions changed from piety just now to horror.
Lang Li and the others turned to leave, and at this moment, the fallen leaves on the ground were blown by the wind, and the wind blew the dead treetops, accompanied by the strange sound of the Holy Spirit messenger, and the air looked extremely strange.
I saw that the Holy Spirit was holding two flames in his palms at some point, and the blue flames were particularly dazzling. The flames grew larger and larger with the incantation from the Holy Spirit's mouth, and then transformed into a ghostly fireball, turning the tribute paid by the villagers into a cloud of ashes in an instant.
The villagers bowed and begged for mercy, but the Holy Spirit seemed to be blind and ignored the villagers' pleas.
"Ignorant passers-by, because of you, Wulibao is about to lose an inch of grass, I don't know how you will feel."
The voice of the Holy Spirit fell, like a red mist, fluttering and disappearing, and the wind stopped the leaves falling, and it was hard to imagine them if it were not for the burning tribute table.
The villagers were frightened, and for a while Lang Li and his party became the target of public criticism, some timid women even cried, and some villagers even wanted to arrest Lang Li and hand them over to the Agni Sect to plead guilty, but don't say they can't catch it, even if they are caught, who knows where the Agni Cult is.
Some of the villagers were nimble and shouted, "Don't let them go, don't let them go, give them to the Holy Spirit when they come, and ask the Holy Spirit messenger for forgiveness." ”
As he spoke, the villagers put their hands up and down to tie up Lang Quercus and them.
"Everyone, everyone, don't get me wrong......" Lang Li wanted to explain, but the scene was chaotic, how could there be a chance for them to explain. In desperation, the four of them had no choice but to fly up to the rain platform, and Lang Li said loudly.
"Everyone, don't panic, we won't leave, since the trouble is caused by us, we will not sit idly by, we will definitely give you an explanation."
After this period of turmoil, the villagers were finally willing to calm down, and after thinking about it carefully, they had no choice but to do so, and they said that they couldn't leave, and they could only do this, and they also knew that if the four people in front of them wanted to leave, who among them could stop them.
Even so, the people of Wulipu still looked at Lang Li and the others with resentment, and they didn't blink their eyes, for fear that they would run away.
Wulibao, which was very lively in the past, has become extremely deserted at this time, as if it has reached the end of the world, and people are frowning, grieving and angry, like a ** funeral.
Lang Li and his party were taken to the home of the lord of Wulibao Fort, a wide courtyard, which is not a mansion, but it can be said to be a mansion in Wulibao.
The men of the village gathered in the house of the lord of the castle, while the women hid in the house with their children, and some packed their bags and were ready to flee at any time.
"Brother Lang, this Agni Sect is so powerful, just a few words make the villagers afraid of being like this."
Xiaoru said as he walked, and Lang Li also shook his head with a sigh: "It must be a cult organization organized by some people in the rivers and lakes, but the villagers here still worship them as gods, but they treat human life like a mustard." ”
"yes!"
Qi Qinghan continued Lang Li's words: "The cult of the Demon Sect is outrageous. ”
"Shall we eradicate him?"
"Zixiao, it's easy to say, even if it's an evil organization, it's still an organization, how can it be eradicated by just the four of us, let's take a look."
After listening to Lang Li's words, Lu Zixiao nodded, and it could only be like this. A few people spoke, and after a while, the courtyard was already full of people.
The castle lord had a serious face, his hands were folded behind his waist, and his face was full of sadness, as if a great calamity was coming.
Qi Qinghan bowed and saluted, "Castle Master, since we are here, we will not leave, and we will find a way to solve this matter, but can you introduce this Flame Sect to us." ”
The castle lord looked at a few people and sighed: "Hey, this is a long story. ”
"About five years ago, we were not so prosperous in Wulipu, when there were years of drought, and we, the villagers, who depended on the weather for food, could only sigh at the rain. The sun is scorching the land, the dust is flying, let alone irrigating the land, and even those of us don't even have the most basic drinking water. ”
The castle lord paused for a moment, and seemed very reluctant to mention the past.
"Did the Flame Sect rain on you?" Lu Zixiao interjected and asked.
The castle lord shook his head, "Not really, it's just that one night five years ago, the village was so quiet that people were frightened, there was not even a single mosquito in the drought, and in the middle of the night, we only heard the rolling of the wheels of the carriages, and when we went out, dozens of carriages with spring water had been parked on the street, and the people who brought the spring water were dressed in red clothes and red pants, and they said that they were members of the Agni Sect."
The thirsty villagers didn't care about what kind of believers, one by one they drank the spring water greedily like hungry wolves. ”
At this point, some elderly people sobbed softly, and their faces were full of sadness.
"And then?"
Xiao Ru was a little unbearable and asked softly.
"When we finished drinking the water, the red-clothed people said that this was a reward from the Fire God, and that as long as we believed in the Fire God, there would be a continuous spring of sweetness in the future, and the village would become prosperous, provided that we would pay tribute every quarter, and every year we would also worship the Flame Cult Leader, a young girl. Since then, our Wuli Fort has been in good weather, and from that moment on, we have firmly believed in the Fire God until today......"
After the castle lord finished speaking, the four of Lang Li, you look at me, I look at you, they have a rough idea in each other's hearts, and instead of resenting them, they sympathize with them.
"Fort Master, I have no intention of blaspheming your faith, but, have you ever thought about whether this Flame Cult is really what you imagined?"
Lang Li said in a deep voice, how could his suspicions escape the ears of the castle master.
"We have also doubted, but after so many years of good weather, how can we explain the prosperity of Wulibao now, and besides, you have also seen the magic power of the Holy Spirit on the rain platform today, how can this be explained?"
What the blue flame in the hands of the Holy Spirit is today Lang Li doesn't know, but it is certain that it is definitely not a mana, just some tricks to deceive these ignorant villagers. Although Lang Li thought so, he didn't say anything, and even if he did, they wouldn't believe it.
"We have offended the Holy Spirit Messengers of the Agni Cult, and how will they punish us?" Lu Zixiao looked at the castle lord and asked.
"I don't know this yet, looking at the appearance of the Holy Spirit Messenger, it won't end well."
When the words fell, several people fell into deep thought, although they knew that this Flame Sect belonged to the Demon Sect, but the specific reason, why they were here, and what their purpose was, these were not known yet, only when they came, they could manage to know.
"Who are you, and why do you say you can solve this matter?"
Seeing that a few people were silent, the castle master hurriedly asked.
"We're just passers-by passing through here, and we just happened to be passing by, by the way, do you know where this Fire Cult is?"
Lang Li looked at the castle lord and said, the castle lord was also looking at a few people again.
"I heard that there is Cangming Mountain ten miles away, but I can't find any houses and buildings on that mountain, and no one knows where they are."
"So we're just waiting here for them to come?"
The castle lord said that the Agni Sect was superb, Lu Zixiao was a little unconvinced, and raised his eyebrows and asked.
"Suffice it to say, there is another thing, we worship the Flame Sect Master a young girl every year, and the girls we have enshrined over the years are not as beautiful as this girl, so you better do it yourself."
Of course, the girl in the castle owner's mouth refers to Xiao Ru, not only that, but he even wants to offer Xiao Ru out in exchange for the peace of Wuli Fort, he thinks so, but he doesn't say it.
Time flies by and the waiting time is unusually long. The basic situation of the Fire Cult has been understood, and all that remains is waiting for them to come.
"Castle Master, are you sure the Fire Cult will be here tonight?"
Lu Zixiao looked at the starry sky and began to doubt the words of the castle master.
"Since the Holy Spirit messenger has said it, she will definitely come, it is only a matter of time."
As soon as the words fell, the branches of the trees swayed in the shadow of the moon, the fallen leaves brushed by the sudden wind, and the crows chirped in the silent village, everything seemed so strange......
