Chapter 1: The First Appearance of the Fire Spirit
There is the Milky Way on the top, and the Bohai Sea is vast and boundless. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoSakura Town is located on the shore of the Bohai Sea, with outstanding people. Why do you say that, according to legend, there are three immortal islands on the Bohai Sea, so the people of Sakura Town like to ask for immortals. Walking on the road, the older people all looked like fairies and lived a long life. Of course, this is just a legend, and no one has really seen these three fairy islands, or which gods they have seen.
But there was a strange thing eighteen years ago. There is an ancestral hall in the west of Sakura Town, the Yun family, which is said to be a descendant of the fire god Zhurong. On the edge of the ancestral hall is the Yun Mansion, and Yun Miao of the Yun Mansion is the new patriarch of the Yun family. is forty and eight, and Mrs. Yun is not young, but she has no sons and half daughters. One morning, Mrs. Yun suddenly woke up from a nightmare, saying that she had dreamed that the Yun ancestral hall was on fire and was about to burn to her house, and she immediately fainted again. Seeing this scene, Master Yun immediately recruited a doctor. After the doctor carefully checked the pulse, he stepped forward to congratulate Master Yun, "Congratulations to Master Yun, Mrs. Zun is fine, but Mrs. Zun is more than a month pregnant, and she has many dreams during pregnancy, so you can take more care." ā
After listening to what the doctor said, Master Yun didn't know what to say, he was so excited that he couldn't help himself, and he was afraid that the doctor would bluff him, so he invited all the doctors in the city, so he was relieved.
Mrs. Yunfu is pregnant, and the whole house is busy. It didn't take long for the time to give birth. At this time, it was the wax moon, and the weather was cold. I don't know why, the Yun ancestral hall really caught fire. The whole clan rushed to put out the fire, but it didn't seem to be of any use at all, and the fire grew bigger and bigger. However, at this time, Mrs. Yun began to have unbearable abdominal pain, and she didn't know if she was frightened or something else, but she was going to have a baby.
Everyone in the ancestral hall was busy fighting the fire, and the Yunfu next door was busy giving birth, and seeing that the fire was about to affect the Yunfu, they only heard a "wow", and the child was born. At this time, the sky was clear and the sky suddenly changed greatly, and suddenly lightning and thunder, and torrential rain were combined, and the fire in the ancestral hall was extinguished at once. But in the middle of winter, how can there be thunder and lightning?
Master Yun came to his wife's couch and took over his son, and he couldn't close his mouth with joy, not to mention how rare this old man is. Later, the neighbors and villagers all linked Mrs. Yun's birth to a child with the thunder and rain in winter, and it was rumored that the child was a lucky star, and he was born to extinguish the fire, and the fire situation was foreshadowed as early as when Mrs. Yun was pregnant, which was passed down a miracle.
In a blink of an eye, this child is eighteen years old, this Yun Gongzi is handsome but not demonic, literary but not weak, and his name is Yun Yitian. Because he is the child of the patriarch, and he is also rumored to be a lucky star, he can't help but be a little arrogant. There is no way to make trouble at the two ends of three days, everyone can't do anything about it, there is no way to serve the addition of old man Yun, Mrs. Yun stops every time, and she protects her son in distress.
Although this Yun Gongzi was born with a golden key, he didn't like to make friends with the rich and noble sons in the city, and he had two friends. One is a little girl in the clan, named Yun Xiaozhao, eccentric, daughter-like, and man-like. There is also a guy in the village in the western suburbs of the city, called Yuanbao, who is very happy. Yun Yitian hung around with the two of them when he was fine, saying that he wanted to hoe the strong and help the weak and uphold justice, and almost every time he caused trouble, it was also the reason.
There is a Xie Mansion in the east of Sakura Town. This old lady of Xie Mansion is an important member of the court, and it can be regarded as returning to his hometown and recuperating in his old age. The old lady has two sons, the younger son Xie Congwu is still working for the court, and the eldest son Xie Congwen is also a rich party, and he is a well-known figure in Sakura Town, and he has a son named Xie Rencheng. This Xie Rencheng, although he has a rich background and works hard, he still hasn't been admitted to any fame. So I've been eating at home and waiting for death, but I don't do anything bad.
One day, Xie Rencheng took a few small servants to hang out on the street. Suddenly, I saw a group of people in front of me, so I also came over. Through the crowd, it turned out to be gambling. I saw that the gambling dealer was a handsome little brother, so I sighed, how can I cheat money on the street. This little brother is Yun Gongzi of Yun Mansion, hearing this, he was not happy and stepped forward.
"Who are you? We're having fun, what's wrong with you, what is it called cheating money. ā
"You dare to talk to our young master like this, and you don't apologize, otherwise you will have good fruit to eat."
"What is the reason, what is the apology, I am not in the way of you, young master, which young master, is so nosy."
"The young master of my family is the young master Xie of the Xie Mansion in the east of the city."
"Young Master Xie? Oh, it's the young master Xie who took the test five times and didn't get anything in, right? If you can't pass the exam, hurry back and read the book, don't talk nonsense to me. ā
After hearing this, Xie Rencheng was a little annoyed and angry, and he glanced at him, and the little guys immediately went up to hold down Yun Yitian. At this time, Xiao Zhao and Yuan Bao came running, Xiao Zhao grabbed Yun Yitian and scolded the group, "Who are you, what do you want to do, you still have to beat people in broad daylight." After saying that, he looked at Yun Yitian with concern, "Brother Yitian, are you okay?" ā
"What can I do, just a few of them still want to hurt me." Yun Yitian said with a smile.
While Yitian and Xiao Zhao were talking, Xie Rencheng looked at Xiao Zhao intently, and his heart couldn't help but tremble. She is like the sun in winter, warm; The flowers in spring are bright; The rain in the summer is clear; The wind blows in autumn, and the air is refreshing. Maybe Xie Rencheng is used to the rules and regulations of the family, and is used to seeing the virtues of his grandmother and mother, and the feeling that Xiao Zhao gave her is another understanding, maybe his heart is so wild, but it is just due to the pressure of the family.
Xie Rencheng waved his hand to signal the little guy to stand back and walked up to Xiao Zhao, "Girl, please forgive me if you are offended." Please tell the girl Fang's name and where she lives, and I will send the girl home. ā
"Who are you, what kind of girl, what does this girl have to do with you, I want you to send it, do you have a problem with your brain?" After saying that, he looked at Yun Yitian and Yuanbao, "Brother Yitian, Yuanbao, let's go back, don't pay attention to these people." ā
"Okay, okay, Yitian, let's go back, it's been a day, it's been a day, it's too late to go back, and your father is going to beat you again." Yuan Bao said he was a little worried.
So the three of them left the crowd, "The next time I see that kid, I won't beat him." Yun Yitian said fiercely.
"Okay, okay, Brother Yitian, it didn't do anything to us in the end. He is the son of the Xie family, let's not provoke him. ā
"Xiao Zhao is right, Yitian, you better not provoke him, let's just play our own."
"It was he who provoked me, so Young Master Ben didn't have time to play with him."
The three of them disappeared at the end of the street, talking and laughing. But he left Xie Rencheng's back looking deeply.
Xie Rencheng came home at night and saw his father sitting in the main hall, "What are you doing today?" His father had always been strict, and Xie Rencheng gave a general account of what happened on the street, and his father was very annoyed when he heard it, and those words seemed to humiliate him, but fortunately, his mother came to comfort him. When his father's anger dissipated, Xie Rencheng brought up the matter of Xiao Zhao.
"What, you're going to marry such a wild girl." The mother retorted.
"Mother, she's not a wild girl, you haven't seen it yet." Xie Rencheng explained.
"It's definitely not a good girl to be fascinated like this when I see you once." The mother was still against it.
"Forget it, if Cheng'er really likes it, you can just accept her as a small house." Xie Congwen said impatiently.
"Father..." Xie Ren wanted to say that he was only willing to marry Xiao Zhao as his wife, and he didn't want a small house. But his father's majesty did not allow him to say more.
Within a few days, someone from Xiao Zhao's family came to propose. Xiao Zhao was not at home that day, and I heard my mother say that the person who proposed the marriage was the Xie family in the east of the city, and left on the same day, saying that he would come to marry after half a month, but it was not the main room, but the second room. After listening to Xiao Zhao, he was so angry, how could there be such a family. The next day, he told Yun Yitian about it. Yun Yitian didn't say a word, found Yuanbao and called a carriage, rushed straight to Xie Mansion, and threw those dowry gifts at the door of Xie Mansion.
In this commotion, people nearby all gathered around, and Master Xie and Xie Rencheng also heard about it and came to the gate of the mansion. "Why are you again?" Xie Rencheng looked at Yun Yitian, "What does this have to do with you." ā
"Hey, I said your kid was sick. If you can't pass the fame test, you want to rob the people's daughters again. "Yitian is full of gunpowder, he can't allow his little sister to be bullied like this.
Suddenly, the crowd of onlookers began to gossip one by one. Seeing this, Master Xie called a few guards and tied up Yitian and Yuanbao. Brought into the Xie Mansion. He knew that this was the son of the head of the Chengxi Yun clan, so he sent someone to report the news.
Not long after, Patriarch Yun came to Xie Mansion and apologized for a while before taking Yitian and Yuan Bao out of Xie Mansion. "Yun Yitian, what's the matter with you, didn't I tell you, don't you make trouble everywhere, why did you provoke the Xie family, do you know what their family's background is, just give me nonsense, it really people off, I don't know how your kid died." My father taught me a hard lesson.
"Dad, you don't know, their family is too deceitful, and they call her small...
"You shut up for me, what's wrong with Xiao Zhao, that's also a matter of other people, men should get married, women should get married, isn't this normal, I want you to be nosy, how do I usually root what you said."
"Dad, how can you talk like that, as the patriarch, Xiao Zhao is also in our clan, why don't you protect her, but teach me a lesson, are you worthy of being this patriarch?"
"Okay, Yitian, don't be angry, your father didn't mean that." Yuan Bao comforted Yitian.
"Yuanbao, you too, hurry home in a while, don't follow Yitian all day long, don't keep your father and mother worried, do you know or not." Yun Miao asked, and then pulled Yitian into the carriage. Entangled in the Cold War, the father and son returned home twice.
The next day, Xie Rencheng came to Xiao Zhao's house in person, and before he could say a few words, he was coaxed out by Xiao Zhao. Day 3, Day 4 ... It's been eight or nine days in a row, and it seems that this young master of the Xie family is really interested in Xiao Zhao. But Xiao Zhao doesn't think so, in fact, she only has her Yitian brother in her heart, and this childhood sweetheart's feelings are irreplaceable for her.
Yitian was locked up by his father for several days, and when he could finally come out to breathe, he invited Xiao Zhao to Yuanbao's house. Yuanbao's family lives by the river outside the city, relying on his father to fish for a living, and his mother is to deliver food to the prisoners in the dungeon of Sakura Town to supplement the family.
The three of them sat by the river, chatting about what had happened in the past few days, and the most unstable thing was Xiao Zhao, whose parents did not dare to offend the Xie family, so they agreed to this marriage. Yitian suddenly had an idea, "Otherwise, Xiao Zhao, you go and make an appointment with Xie Rencheng, and you tell him that if he really likes you, let him go to the forest west of the city alone to spend the night, if he doesn't dare, it means that what he said before is a lie." ā
"If only he dared." Xiao Zhao was still a little worried.
"If he really goes, then let's go too, we will pretend to be a ghost to scare him, let him die of this heart, he is a scholar, he will definitely be afraid, what do you say?"
"Is this really going to work?" Yuan Bao was skeptical.
"If you don't try, how do you know." Yitian looked at Xiao Zhao.
"Okay. That's it, there's no better way to do it anyway, isn't it? Xiao Zhao replied weakly to the words of the two of them.
After saying that, the three of them took action.
In the evening, after a while, Xie Rencheng came as promised, and he was really serious this time. Xiao Zhao watched him walk alone into the woods. Yitian and Yuan Bao walked over.
"It's going to be fine." Xiao Zhao suddenly felt uneasy, after all, no one had been to this forest at night, although he had never heard of any fierce beasts, but the big night was also scary enough.
"It's okay, don't worry, isn't it still us. Xiao Zhao you go home and wait, Yuanbao, let's go. After saying that, Yitian hooked Yuanbao's shoulder, and the two of them also entered the forest talking and laughing. Xiao Zhao couldn't help but get nervous as he watched the two of them disappear into the night.
Tonight is a cloudy day, the moon and stars in the sky are mostly obscured by clouds and mist, in this dark environment, I am afraid it is difficult to distinguish between east and west. Yitian settled down and looked around, "Yuanbao, you follow me, let's not get separated, you know?" ā
Overgrown with weeds, tall trees towering, almost covering the sky, it should have been deep in the forest, why didn't you see Xie Rencheng. Looking at this situation, if you don't put in a little effort, you may not be able to get out of this forest tonight.
"Yitian, do you think there will be beasts in this forest?" The ingots were next to Yitian and did not dare to go far.
"What nonsense, have you heard the old man say that there are any fierce beasts, don't scare yourself." I don't know how long I walked, it was more deeply exposed, Yitian couldn't help but shudder, plus there was fog in the forest, and the direction was even more unclear, could there really be a beast here, Yitian suddenly tightened his heart, but he didn't say it, for fear of scaring the ingots, don't look at the big ingots, the courage is not so big.
They walked all the way, they were a little tired from walking, and they just wanted to sit down and rest for a while, when they suddenly heard a scream, wasn't that Xie Rencheng's voice, it sounded from the southeast. Did he encounter a beast? No, did you fall into the hunter's trap?
"Yitian, wasn't that Xie Rencheng's voice just now, he won't have an accident, don't kill anyone." Yuan Bao was already nervous.
"Don't talk nonsense, let's go, let's go and have a look." Then he groped in the direction of the sound.
There were many shrubs and vines in the forest, so it took a while to get close to the place where the sound was made. Yitian was just about to call them, but suddenly he tripped over a round thing, and fell to the ground in a dog-eating posture. Before I could care about the pain, I felt that my hands were sticky, and it was too dark to see what I had touched, but I could smell a burst of blood.
"Yitian, Yitian, are you okay, quick, I'll help you up." Yuan Bao pulled Bar Yitian to help him up, "Ah, you're bleeding, where are you hurt?" ā
"Your uncle, I still bleed a lot after a fall, I don't know, I don't feel any pain." Where the hell did it break, and I didn't feel any pain at all. Thinking about it, I suddenly thought of the culprit, the "round ball".
"It's okay, I just tripped over a ball, you help me find it, something caused me to fall." After that, the two of them groped on the ground, and Yitian touched the direction of the wrestling, and sure enough, he touched the "ball". What kind of thing is this, how can there still be hair, Yitian settled down, lifted the "ball" in front of his eyes, and finally saw the "ball" clearly through the faint moonlight.
It's Xie Rencheng, no, it's Xie Rencheng's head. Yitian threw the head into the grass in fright, the whole person was paralyzed there, and his soul was gone, and at this time, Yuan Bao had already seen that the so-called ball was Xie Rencheng's head, and then shouted out in fright. Yitian suddenly pounced on it and held down the ingot, "What are you shouting about, aren't you afraid to find that thing." Yuan Bao nodded in fright, and Yitian slowly let go.
After a long time, he finally calmed down, thinking of Xie Rencheng's head just now, that hideous and distorted expression, it was hard to imagine what he encountered before he died, and he couldn't help but be scared when he thought of it. But after much thought, after all, he ran into this forest because of their design, and he should be brave enough to see what happened.
"Let's go and see what's up ahead." Yitian was strong and courageous, but the ingots were spread on the ground and couldn't get up, which was too scary.
"If you don't go, just stay alone and don't move, and I'll go back when I go." At this time, Yuan Bao seemed to be more sober, "Wait, I'll go with you, let's not separate." ā
They followed the trail of blood all the way. I saw a flash of light not far ahead, and when they approached, it turned out to be a small pond, and the water was very clear, but it was bottomless. They had walked too much in the night, and were too tired and thirsty to take care of it, so they washed their hands, took up water and drank it, completely forgetting that there might be danger around them.
Suddenly, the water fluctuated, Yitian and Yuan Bao looked at each other, and then looked around, there was no wind blowing, how did the water surface fluctuate. They looked intently at the surface of the water, and saw that there seemed to be two lights under the water, and before they could understand it, suddenly, a monster burst out of the water. Splashed with water, the two of them hurriedly ran into the bushes.
I only heard a rough panting, and through the bushes I saw a pair of blood-red eyes looking around, Yitian and Yuan Bao were dumbfounded, nervous to the extreme, and they didn't dare to breathe, isn't this the legendary dragon. But why are the eyes red, and the top of the head is missing a horn? Before they could figure it out, the dragon had already found Yitian hiding in the grass, the dragon's body was very long, and half of it was still in the water, so he used his upper body to search around.
Yitian and Yuanbao were separated by more than five zhang, each gritting their teeth and not daring to move, but even so, when they opened their eyes, Yitian was already facing the evil dragon. By this time he was already frightened, as if his breathing was about to stop.
The evil dragon's eyes became more and more red and bright, and then he slowly raised his head, this time he was sure to die, because the evil dragon had already opened his bloody mouth, and a fishy smell overflowed, it must have been because he had just eaten Xie Rencheng. He had given up on escaping, because he knew it was in his mouth. The dragon looked up at his food.
Fear of struggle is a person's instinct before death, "Yuan Bao run, leave me alone." ā
With Yitian's "ah" holding his head in both hands, the evil dragon suddenly bit towards Yitian.
"Yitian, Yitian, don't...
At the last moment, the dragon also let out a terrible scream at the same time, loud enough to drown out the voices of the two of them. Yitian put down the hand holding his head, and saw that the evil dragon seemed to have been attacked by someone, and the top of his head and neck were severely burned, and his left eye was completely burned.
The dragon struggled in pain and slowly retreated into the pool. What the hell just happened. "Yitian, you, you have fire in your body."
What kind of fire, how is it possible, how can there be fire in one's own body? But that's what happened, and Yuan Bao stayed there, unable to believe what he had just seen.
