84, Flame Beast
"Village chief, it's not good, it's not good! There's a demon beast! There's a red tiger that has broken into the village!"
The crowd kneeling on the ground was the high priest and the villagers, even watching the figures on the top of the mountain not far away, an old man and a young man were still there, they were like two stones, towering and immovable, like a master outside the world, watching the fire from the other side.
Suddenly, the earth and rocks rolled and hit the two wooden buckets with a crisp sound, and then the two wooden buckets rolled down the hill.
"Smack!
A tall man behind the high priest slapped the person who reported the news in a panic, and directly slapped him in a daze.
"Isn't it a red tiger? what's there to be afraid of, I can tear a hundred of these things with my hands," the big man said arrogantly.
Then he bowed his hand to the high priest and said, "High priest, I will go and kill these red tigers now! ”
The high priest nodded, and then the big man walked out of the village, and took two tall and mighty men, the kind of iron knives, and walked with great swords.
The high priest looked around at the curious villagers and said loudly, "The sacrifice continues!"
The ceremony then continued.
"Big.... High Priest, that Red Tiger is different!", the villager said slowly, his tone was very flustered, with a terrifying expression, as if he had seen something terrible, he was very panicked now, and he was already a little incoherent!
The High Priest frowned and stood up, his eyes thoughtful.
"What does the tiger look like?"
He asked, a heavy atmosphere froze in the air, and the High Priest suddenly thought of something bad.
"The tiger was four meters in size, with two horns coiled behind it, almost a meter in size, red all over, covered with a half-meter beard, two pupils in each eye, and four black fangs in its mouth. ”
The villagers said in a panic.
The High Priest's brow furrowed even harder, he seemed to have heard of the creature.
Suddenly he remembered that when he was a child, a tall and handsome beast had passed by their village, and that time he was bathing in a small ditch, and a strange beast with a red glow slowly came out of the waterhole, it also had two pupils, and a pair of large horns hovered behind its head, and it looked at the young high priest proudly, and then walked away on its own.
After that year, there was a drought for ten consecutive years, and there was no more water in Heliu.
This is: "Flame Beast"
The high priest was in despair.
This time there has been a drought for five years, and the sky has not dropped a drop of water, and the groundwater has not been dug up, and it can survive is completely the copper well in the village that I don't know how many years it has been, and it is still bubbling water, but the water level has gradually dropped in recent years, and the high priest knows that the sky is not raining, but I am afraid that it will kill the people of their wooden village! There is no other place to get water, and there are many insects, birds, trees, weeds and weeds in the mountains, and there are many deaths.
However, at this time, the firebeast came. This is the day to die, he is a wooden village!
"Pack up your salutes and get out of here! this place is no longer suitable for people to live, so hurry up!"
The high priest suddenly said weakly, his face drooped, and he was worried, the last time he saw the Yan Beast, the village had been in drought for ten years, and this time he saw the Yan Beast, I was afraid that it would be ten years of drought, plus it had been drought for five years before, a total of fifteen years, this is completely a rhythm that can't stand up!
Rather than stay in the village and wait for death, it is better to leave here and find another way to live.
"High priest, where can we go! Our ancestors have lived here for generations, how can we live without here!"
The simple villagers felt the despair of the high priest.
Many of the villagers stared at the high priest.
............
Not far from the top of the mountain, there are old and young figures.
"Apprentice, do you have any idea about the cause of the drought here?", the old man looked lovingly at the child holding the nine-stringed lyre, stretched out his big hand and touched his forehead, he couldn't help but think of something, it was a girl.
The child bowed down and said in a childish voice: "The disciple is dull, I don't know!
The old man stroked his beard and thought for a moment, the stars of the hexagram disk in his hand moved, and under the curious gaze of the child, he smiled, and then said:
"The world is impermanent, everything has its own cause and effect, how can yesterday's calamity be known as today's blessing?
"There is a strange beast that is born in a land of water, and comes from the earth, and if the earth is wet, it comes out and walks on the surface of the earth, and from then on it does not rain for ten years wherever it passes. On the other hand, if the ground is too dry, it will come out, and from then on, the wind and rain will be smooth for ten years where it passes!"
The child's eyes suddenly flickered, and he said happily: "What does the master mean, there are strange beasts here?"
The old man smiled and nodded.
There is still a sentence in his heart, if this kind of strange beast appears on the surface three times in a row within a hundred years, then it means that there is an underground treasure in this place!
.................
On the main road leading to the altar, the high priest could already see that the legendary appearance, and at the same time, the indelible figure in his heart when he was a child, like a nightmare, haunted his infinite mind.
At this moment, the High Priest looked at the flame beast, which was more than two meters tall and four meters long.
It's it, it's it.
That's right.
It was exactly the same as what he saw when he was a child, only a little bigger, but the texture of its hair had not changed at all, and the high priest could tell that this was what he saw when he was a child.
is still so handsome, with red light emitting all over his body, like a divine beast in the sky descending to earth, leading incomparably.
Several big men didn't dare to stop it, and they kept retreating in fear.
And this flame beast, it raised its proud head and looked at the top of the mountain, and it could feel that someone was watching it.
At the same time, it also saw the high priest, and a trace of strangeness flashed in its eyes, this man himself had seen it before?
The high priest was very uncomfortable, and after decades, the flame beast was just as old as it had been, and he had grown up and was decrepit.
On this flame beast, he could not see any traces of time.
All the villagers opened their mouths wide and couldn't speak, watching the behemoth flame beast slowly approaching, saying in their hearts that it was fake not to be afraid, although this was a very handsome beast, but this was not a human, so it was inevitable to be afraid.
"High Priest, this strange beast has no hostile intentions!", the big man whispered as he approached the high priest's side.
The High Priest nodded inexplicably.
Under the gaze of hundreds of villagers, the flame beast slowly walked to the copper well, and then turned into a streamer of light and flew in.
The high priest hurriedly followed, holding his hand on the mouth of the well, and looked down. He breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, the water did not dry.
He knew how powerful this flame beast was, it was simply the enemy of water! whether it was right or not, that's what the High Priest thought anyway.
Around this copper well, you can still vaguely see gluttonous lines, and below are the depictions.
"Hurry up and close the village"
The High Priest said in a panic.
Then many people started to operate, and the village was gradually shrouded by a curtain of light, disappearing from view, and all you saw was a mountain depression.
This is a real hidden hamlet.

"Eh, be careful, don't break it."
"It's a box full of silver........."
......
Wang Erlang was sitting in the palace hall at this time.
The jewelry received was exchanged for almost 50,000 silver, and now many people are rushing to carry it in the big yard.
The butler was so excited that he commanded the family members and the samurai to carry them.
Wang Erlang was thinking about what to sell at this time.
As a young man who travels through the modern world, Wang Erlang naturally wants to get some good things and make a lot of money.
And he also plans to buy some properties in the imperial capital, so that he can avoid reaching out to the clan to ask for money, and it is convenient for himself. There must be many ways to make money, but Wang Erlang targets different customers, he wants to make everyone's money, so this industry must be needed by everyone.
Then it is nothing more than food, clothing, housing and transportation, which everyone can't live without!
It's hard to do it, I'm going to do it........ Real estate?
