Chapter 7: Suspicious Dreams in the Sea of Fire
The night breeze was slightly cool, and the wind was mixed with the smell of burnt paste from the South Pavilion in the distance. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoThere was a faint sound of explosion in the silent forest, and the fire had reached the sky, illuminating almost the entire forest. Dou Xin couldn't sleep late at night, and he couldn't bear to wake up Du Yuan, so he secretly touched in the direction of the South Pavilion Stack alone to find out. I don't know how far I walked, Dou Xin found that the fire was spreading in the direction he came from, and the place where Du Yuan was located was the downwind.
The wildfires were running rampant in the autumn wind, and in the blink of an eye, they were rushing towards the stream, and it was a self-defeating way to return the same way. I don't know if Du Yuan has woken up, but looking at the fire, if Dou Xin doesn't come out early, even if he has eight legs, it won't help.
"Brother Du! Brother Du! Dou Xin's faint voice drowned out in the sea of fire. If you don't flee quickly, it won't be long before this place will be flooded by fire. After only a few days of acquaintance, Du Yuan and Dou Xin are already people who cannot be abandoned. Wen died and fought to the death, Du Yuan was born for the battlefield, and he should never be buried in this barren forest.
Dou Xin's heart was crossed and he decided to rush back to the stream. The oath of the Guanlan Sword cannot be liberated unless it is death, and if you are lucky enough to go to Huangquan with Brother Du, it will not be in vain to come out of the inn.
The firelight shines on the blood-red maple leaves, flashing with thrilling colors. Dou Xin felt his heart warm, and reached out to touch it, only to find that the jade had faded to a green jade color, and it was beating slightly in his chest like a burning stone. "Don't go...... Don't go......" "Don't go...... Don't go ......" In a trance, a chaotic sound came from the jade, which seemed to be the quarrel of several people. In the auditory hallucination, Dou Xin also seemed to catch Kun's voice. If it was Ah Kun in the sea of fire, Dou Xin thought that he would definitely not save it, that stubborn melon seed would only make people worry when he died.
"Don't go." The last sound Dou Xin heard clearly, as if it came from the heart. Dou Xin had also heard the sound of the Guanlan Sword, but compared to the Guanlan Sword, this voice was more masculine. Dou Xin guessed that this voice was probably Guanlanjun's, if his physical body was not there, how should Guanlanjun's soul be attached? A trace of evil thought suddenly flashed in Dou Xin's heart: if he died, without the Guanlan Sword and his body to rely on, would Guanlan Jun be gone, and would he be liberated at that time?
The moment Dou Xin raised his foot, he was shocked to find that several faces had crawled out of the firelight. Xiang'er's distorted face was completely swept into the flames, leaving only her long hair still burning; Ah Kun looked fierce, pointed to his nose and cursed, and was then swallowed by the fire; The mother stood behind her father, shaking her head in pain, and the father pulled her mother to the depths of the fire, and Dou Xin read the last words of her father: "You are not my daughter, never come back." ”
Dou Xin knelt on the ground with a whole body paralyzed, trying to pull his mother's clothes, but he only touched the blazing flames, and he quickly retracted his hand when he was hot. The four of them disappeared into the sea of fire in an instant, and a stone burst out of the sea of fire, Dou Xin subconsciously grabbed it, and her right hand ignited a sharp pain, which made her faint.
"Girl, wake up." Du Yuan's big thick hand like a bear's paw gently swept across Dou Xin's face. "No!" Dou Xin woke up to the screams and found himself in the upper reaches of the stream.
"What's that stone? You hold it all the time and don't let go, aren't you tired? Du Yuan took off his burned coat and threw it into the stream.
"Brother Du, how did you escape, why did I end up here?" Dou Xin was full of doubts, the forest in the distance was still burning, it seemed that the fire was not fake, what about the people in the inn, when did this dream start?
"Who told you to run around in the middle of the night, my nose is very smart, and I can smell the smell of smoke hundreds of miles away. There is no human population in this wild forest, how can it be a fire in vain. It must be that Nan Gezhan was set on fire by that old man, I don't know where that old man fled, if I catch him, I have to pump his muscles. Du Yuan said.
"Where did you find mine?" Dou Xin took his hand away from the jade, and his right hand was still intact.
"The person is not big, but the voice is not small, 'Brother Du Du' keeps shouting, I can't hear it clearly, and I think there are a few of you calling together. As soon as I saw that there was a fire over there, I guessed that you were there, and it took a lot of effort to toss you here. Du Yuan glanced at Dou Xin's jade, and felt that his face was familiar, but he didn't have a trace of impression when he thought about it carefully.
"Brother Du, let's go to Tianshan, let's set off now, otherwise it will be too late." Dou Xin stuffed the jade into his clothes, and said seriously.
Du Yuan was very puzzled, how could there be any time?
Dou Xin knew that since Guanlan Jun could already control his actions, then controlling his consciousness was only a matter of one day, and he must find Guanlan Jun's body and return his soul before this incident happened. Dou Xin's only way out is to go up to Tianshan Mountain with a large team to find Yishan Jun, judging from the current situation, Du Yuan is already the abandoned son of Lord Qi, but he is the only chess piece in Dou Xin's hand.
If he let others know that Guanlan Jun's soul is in him, Dou Xin can't guess what those crazy people will do, and I'm afraid the lightest price will be a dead end. Dou Xin couldn't tell Du Yuan the truth, and after thinking carefully, he said: "Brother Du is an adult's henchman, and he is still calculated by adults, I don't know if other people, or even my master, will suffer." Although Brother Du can't go to Tianshan openly, we can secretly detect the movements of the adults, and maybe we will have time to save the other teams before the adults make a move. Therefore, we must rush to the Tianshan Mountains as soon as possible in order to seize some initiative. ”
Du Yuan thought about it, on the one hand, he felt that Dou Xin's words were reasonable, and on the other hand, he wanted to catch that kid before Xue Ping and ask him to understand. "The girl is worthy of being a disciple of the mountain man, and she wants to retreat in three ways. Although I don't know what the mountain man is doing now, I can be regarded as saving him as an apprentice. Since we have to get to the Tianshan Mountains before them, we can't take the big road, and it will be much faster to pass through the poor mountains and remote areas, but we will have to endure more hardship. I'm naturally fine, I'm just afraid that you're a girl's family......" In the past few days, Du Yuan has a lot of high regard for Dou Xin, who is not surprised.
"Since I have bowed under the Master's door, how can there be any girl's family that is not a girl's family? Brother Du, don't worry, no matter how you endure it along the way, you don't have to pay attention to me. Dou Xin's words were solemn and righteous. Another point, I am at home, most of the people who get sick after sunset, and now that I don't have the master by my side, the evil nature is repeated, if I get sick again on the road, the eldest brother doesn't care about me. ”
It is not difficult for Du Yuan to see that Dou Xin wants to speak and stop, and his heart is not peaceful: this mountain man is not happy to see the disease, but it is a pity that this clever girl, not to mention that she still suffers from this hysteria when she has a home, she can't help but arouse a little pity.
With the strong smell of fireworks in the air, Du Yuan was in front of Dou Xin in the back, and the two of them embarked on the road of uncertainty. The dawn of the sun drove away the haze of the previous night, making Dou Xin's shadow gradually clearer.
Dou Xin was still holding the master's burden in his hand, which originally only contained a folding fan, a token and some fire primers, but now there were more clothes for the female corpse that Dou Xin had changed. Dou Xin always felt that it was very inappropriate to take the clothes of the female corpse on the road like this, even the rough and leafy Du Yuan found the abnormality of the clothes, if it was found by Lord Qi, Dou Xin would definitely be speechless. Originally, this dress was only used for temporary shelter, but now it is of little use. Before coming out of the mountain forest of Nangezhan, Dou Xin buried his clothes under a dead tree. In the dark, Dou Xin felt that he would definitely come back to find this dress.
There were still some people who had just come out of the mountain forest in Nangezhan, and the two of them were speechless and did not feel embarrassed. At the market in the countryside, Du Yuan used the remaining silver taels on his body to buy two horses, which not only saved him the hard work of walking, but also made him much faster. Walking onto the deserted wild road, Dou Xin gradually recalled the environment of the inn and the state when he was in the inn, and he was even more reluctant to speak. In the past few days, Guanlan Jun's soul did not come out to cause trouble, and while walking, he enjoyed the scenery on the road that was different from the inn, which made Dou Xin gradually relax.
In that defeat, Du Yuan struggled to crawl out of the pile of dead people with all his might. One man and one horse, walked for three full days in a river of corpses and blood before returning to the army. It is said that there are many scenes of life and death, and they are indifferent, but Du Yuan will never forget those three days, surrounded by dead despair, even if there is one person who can say a word to himself, it is good. Du Yuan provoked the conversation several times and wanted to have a good chat with Dou Xin, but Dou Xin didn't talk much when he came, and he was afraid that it would be bad to talk too much, so he just responded lightly and stopped squeaking after a few words. was different from the eloquent talk when he first met Du Yuan, Dou Xin was still in fear of death at that time, and he was a little stammered with joy after seeing Du Yuan. Now that Du Yuan is already a bare-bones general, and the two of them are grasshoppers tied to a rope, Dou Xin has nothing to fear, and there is no need to say anything more.
Du Yuan found that Dou Xin was really boring, so he talked about his deeds on the battlefield, and how he worshiped Lord Qi and did some strange things for Lord Qi. After all, Dou Xin is a living person, although he is like a mute, but he can listen to it after all.
"Girl, this Tianshan Mountain we are going to was called Tianlan Mountain before. After the catastrophe, Yishanjun was extremely sad, and he was stunned to chisel the word 'Lan' in front of the mountain gate, and now it has become Tianshan. It is said that Yishanjun put Guanlanjun's body, well, the body in a hole in Tianlan Mountain, but after so many years, no one has found it. It is said that Guanlan Jun has died a long time ago, but Yishan Jun has announced to the world that the two of them will have disappeared. Now no one can tell whether Guanlanjun is dead or alive, he hasn't shown up for a thousand years, and Yishanjun will occasionally be recognized. The Yishan Sword was broken into two sections thousands of years ago, and the whereabouts of the Guanlan Sword are unknown. It can be said that it is not a mountain, and Guanlan is not a Guanlan. Du Yuan was really bored, and he started the legend again.
Hearing what happened to Guanlanjun, Dou Xin's stagnant face was slightly rippled, "How did Guanlanjun die?" ”
"Ten thousand arrows pierce the heart."
