Chapter 5: Disappearing Without a Trace (Explosion 1)
The peony flower was "beheaded", Di Renjie suddenly came to his senses, and looked at the hideous flower plate and couldn't help but show a disgusting expression.
Li Chunfeng found the trembling fox and said to them, "I'm afraid that the missing people have been eaten by flowers." However, the demonic spirit here is strong, and I am afraid that there are ruthless characters hidden behind it. ”
Tang Ying saw that the peony flowers were getting denser and denser, so he gritted his teeth and said, "I want to try it with white fire." I don't know if it will take effect. ”
"White Fire?" Di Renjie said, "But the ones you burned the ghouls?" ”
Tang Ying smiled confidently, "We haven't seen each other for a long time, and I've made some progress." After speaking, she flipped her hands up, and two rising white flames rose from her palms.
When Di Renjie first saw her clean up the ghouls, she still needed to use the flying needle as a guide, it seems that she hasn't seen her for a few years, and her spell is a little higher.
Tang Ying's wrist flipped, and the two white flames turned into two dazzling white lotuses, and they were thrown left and right, and the white flames flew along the peony flower bed at high speed like two frisbees, and all the flower stems that were touched were mysteriously ignited.
Di Renjie opened his mouth wide in shock, obviously the old man of the garden said that this was a flame that could not be burned. Li Chunfeng, who was squinting at the side, was staring at Tang Ying with his usual eyes, and Di Renjie suddenly felt that he was not a shijie with them.
The whole garden burned. The thunder in the sky was louder, and it seemed that rain would fall at any moment. Tang Ying watched the large patches of peony demon flowers struggle and shrink in the sea of fire, and pride was gradually replaced by worry. It was about to rain in the sky, and although her white fire was fierce, it was still much inferior to the "water from the sky". If they haven't brought out the mastermind behind the flowers, they'll be in vain!
Her heart was anxious, and she secretly clenched her palms, ready to add another white fire to the raging sea of fire. Li Chunfeng gently pressed her wrist, raised his chin and pointed to the largest clump of peony flowers in front of him and said, "Don't waste your physical strength first." You see, these flowers have changed. ”
Sure enough, the flowers that held on to it finally exhausted their demonic power, and in an instant they shrank and withered, and burned to ashes. The ground of the entire flower bed began to tremble violently, as if some behemoth was about to emerge.
Tang Ying, Di Renjie and Li Chunfeng, who was holding the fox girl, huddled together, looking at the slowly bulging dirt bag in front of them, they were so nervous that they were short of breath.
The ground seemed to be held up by something huge, and the ashes of flowers and vines with the smell of fireworks were scattered to the ground, permeating Tang Ying's eyes, like a visual impact like an apocalyptic science fiction movie. After the ashes, the corpse is revealed in the soil that has been entwined with flower roots.
Some have been corrupted into white bones, and some still have blue-black rotten flesh. With such a violent movement, the skeleton corpses were shaken to pieces, and it was difficult to see the original appearance. The tragic situation like the mass grave made Tang Ying feel palpitations and shrink his shoulders.
Di Renjie didn't think about it, grabbed her shoulders and hugged her in his arms, and covered her eyes to prevent her from being frightened again. But Li Chunfeng, who was also by his side, didn't have time to make a move because he was holding the fox girl. You must know that since Tang Ying was a child, protecting Tang Ying has been the thing he is most familiar with. He didn't expect someone to react faster than him.
He lowered his eyes, and as if he hadn't seen it, he pulled out a handful of charms and threw them at the huge dirt bag.
The spell, sharper than a sword, cut through the dry roots that covered the surface and thrust straight into the center of the bag.
A scarlet, viscous liquid gushed out of the dirt bag, and it seemed to emit the dull roar of a beast. The earthen bag looked like a huge pus, churning inside, convex and concave in the west, and it seemed that it could explode at any moment.
Li Chunfeng shouted badly, took a step forward and unfolded his robe, blocking in front of Di Renjie and Tang Ying. Only to hear a loud "bang", the red-black liquid almost washed them down. After the spray like the "Heavenly Maiden Scattering Flowers" finally came to an end, Li Chunfeng took the lead in turning back to investigate the situation, but the result surprised them.
The huge dirt bag is gone! Instead, the ground caved down like a rotting pie. The blood mixed with the ashes of the peony flower and the remains of bones mixed together, and hung crumblingly on the sinking pit.
Di Renjie let go of Tang Ying and ran over to pick up the mucus in the middle with the tip of his sword, revealing a bottomless hole.
Tang Ying looked at it twice and asked, "Ran away?" Di Renjie dragged her to the side to prevent her from falling, "I'm afraid so." ”
She looked back at Li Chunfeng, "Shall we catch up?" As he spoke, a thunderbolt sounded in the sky, and the raindrops the size of beans fell down, drenching them into chickens.
Li Chunfeng said to Di Renjie: "You are an official, you are determined." ”
Di Renjie looked at the direction of the extension of the cave, "The cave at the bottom is unfathomable, and it has rained heavily today, in my opinion, it is not suitable to chase it down today." Collect more clues on another day and think about it in the long run. ”
Li Chunfeng nodded and said, "Although I can't see what kind of spell it is for a while, I know that this monster has a huge demand for blood. I suspect he'll be back in the near future. Saying that, he rolled up some red clay on the ground with Tang Ying's face and put it into his arms, and said to Di Renjie: "The rain is too heavy, let's find a place to shelter from the rain first!" ”
Di Renjie said: "I'll go and tell the officials of Dali Temple about your identity. For the sake of safety, now that you've fought with the youkai, don't go back to the post station first. ”
Tang Ying asked Li Chunfeng with his eyes, and after getting a response, he said to Di Renjie: "We didn't live in the post station. ”
"Where do you live?"
Tang Ying rolled his eyes and said mysteriously: "Good place, you can come with us." ”
In the dark rainy night, three people and one beast trekked to the north of Luoyang with one foot deep and one foot shallow. Di Renjie went back to Dali Temple to leave a message for Master Cheng, and then led his horse out for them to ride back. Li Chunfeng asked Tang Ying to lead Di Renjie to their residence alone to catch up with the old days, and he went back first with the fox Ji in his arms.
Seeing that his figure disappeared in an instant. Di Renjie looked at Tang Ying for a moment, and asked dryly, "Where do you live?" ”
Tang Ying was a little sullen about Li Chunfeng deliberately snubbing him, so he rolled over the horse, pouted and said, "I'll know when I arrive." ”
Di Renjie saw that she ignored her love, so he stopped and said, "If you don't say it, I won't go." I don't want to be caught between the two of you! Tang Ying listened pitifully and said, "Okay." Don't be angry, I haven't spoken for so many years, do you have to speak ill of each other? ”
Di Renjie rushed up again when he heard the fire, he grabbed the saddle and flew down behind Tang Ying, clasped his arms tightly and said, "What do you want to hear from me?" Listen to how I tell my family that you will not marry, how I come to your house to propose, how I go to your grave to worship you? Tang Ying! Tang Ying! How can you be so cruel to give me hope and take it back?! You weishenme want yujian me, weishenme wants to attract me, weishenme wants to lie to me and say dead?! ”
Di Renjie's head was buried deep in Tang Ying's shoulder socket, his forehead and eyebrow bones rubbed back and forth on her thin shoulders, and tears flowed to her with the rain and into her heart.
