Volume 1 The Lost Pearls of Liao Zhai Chapter 67 Outlying Islands (2)
"Big-headed baby, ......"
Pu Zixuan was about to shout something mocking Fu Xiao, but he heard a loud noise behind him, and then the ground trembled, and a stream of magma rose from the crater to the sky, and then tilted down, spreading in the direction of the three of them, as if the world was over, so he didn't care about saying anything more, and shouted: "The volcano has erupted!" "Pull your legs and run.
Although the three of them had run away from Black Wind Mountain, the magma spread faster than they could run, and they had to activate their abilities if they wanted to avoid being caught up by the magma before reaching the riverside. Pu Zixuan and Su Sanniang both launched the power of purification and ran quickly, while Chen Shuqing turned into a fox demon to improve his foot strength, Pu Zixuan suddenly said happily: "Huh? Can you transform again? ”
Chen Shuqing said: "Isn't this? The time of the two incense sticks has passed, and the demon power has recovered somewhat, and it is no problem to change it once or twice. ”
Pu Zixuan was worried that the purification power he had left was not enough to fly wildly with the two of them, so that the speed of the three of them running was no less than the speed of magma spreading, and his heart suddenly settled down.
On Fengzhou Island, one empty house after another was swallowed up by magma, and those buildings that had been solid for many years collapsed like toys when they encountered magma. Along the way, more and more luggage was thrown on the ground, presumably because the islanders were carrying heavy loads on the way to escape, and they had to abandon it to save their lives. The three of them clearly felt that the temperature was getting hotter, as if they were going to vaporize everything in the world.
As they approached the riverside, the three of them gradually caught up with the ordinary islanders who relied on their feet to escape, and the huge escape team was also front and back, and the cries for help shook the sky, but as long as this speed was maintained, when the magma arrived, everyone could reach the river safely, and the only problem that Pu Zixuan was worried about was: how could so many people successfully reach the safe area on the other side.
However, it seems that there is a little bit of unfounded worry, these islanders live near the river, and the people who have ferries are far more than Tian Yi's family, at this time of life and death, people can show the spirit of suffering together, only to see a total of six ferries are being sent to the Dadu River, each carrying twenty or thirty people, slowly sending the islanders to the other side, and the three people and the islanders in front of them, there is no doubt that they are the last group.
Among the six ferries, the other five had already carried enough refugees and left first, and the boatman on the last boat was none other than Tian Yitian, an old man who had a good relationship with the three of them, and he was pulling the islanders one by one to the boat, and soon half of them were seated.
Pu Zixuan saw that the magma behind him was still some distance away from them, so he made eye contact with Tian Yi, waved his hand to make a flying movement, and said to Su Sanniang: "You go on the boat alone, I will fly away with Xiao Jiu." Tonight, meet at Lingyun Temple. ”
Su Sanniang nodded in agreement, said "be careful" and jumped onto Tian Yi's boat and sat down. Pu Zixuan pulled Chen Shuqing aside: "Discuss something with you." ”
A moment later, Tian Yi's boat was already full of refugees, but Tian Yi did not leave the boat, looking at the island. Seeing that the magma was getting closer and closer, many passengers urged anxiously: "Old man Tian, why don't you send the boat yet?" ”
Tian Yi responded: "Do you think I'm not in a hurry? However, my son Tian Jinkun is looking for two demon slayer masters on the island, if they don't come, how can the old man leave? ”
Su Sanniang explained: "You're talking about Pu Zixuan and Chen Shuqing, right? They have already done it and flown away, so there is no need to wait for them. ”
Tian Yi stomped his feet and said: "Oh, I was stupid before I was old, and I forgot that the demon extermination master has his own ability to escape, but my son Jinkun, Jinkun, you are coming back soon, and you are in a hurry to die......
The magma had arrived in front of them, and everyone began to curse on the boat, wanting to snatch Tian Yi's boat artemisia, at this moment, someone pointed to the shore and said: "Tian Jinkun is here, Tian Jinkun, you fucking faster!" ”
Tian Yi's eyes lit up, and he shouted at Tian Jinkun: "Jinkun, hurry!" Come on! ”
Tian Jinkun rushed to the boat in two steps and said hurriedly: "Dad, it's really useless, I've searched all over Fengzhou Island, but I can't find the two masters!" ”
Tian Yile said happily: "The two masters have already left Fengzhou Island, fortunately you are back, you are safe, safe, haha, start the boat!" ”
Tian Yi left Fengzhou Island in high spirits, and under the reflection of magma and the sunset, he sang the Sichuan River trumpet again:
The breeze blew coolly, and the boat went down to Fengzhou with his hands.
The rich sit at home, and the poor are worried and sorrowful.
Holding the boat is a bitter one, and walking the dock in the wind and rain.
A few words of gossip scattered with the wind, and there was a Lingyun Mountain in front of him.
The old man of the Buddha has no miracle, and he can't cross the beach without trying hard.
You and I are all good men, save up your strength to move forward.
The flat water trumpet was changed, and the mast was clenched and rushed across the beach.
When the boat reached the middle of the river, everyone was completely out of danger, Tian Jinkun looked at the blood-red Fengzhou Island and said, "It's over, our home is gone." ”
Tian Yi said: "It's good if people are fine, home, where there is a family, there is home." After speaking, his eyebrows furrowed slightly and he touched his back.
Tian Jinkun stepped forward to take Tian Yi's boat and said, "Dad, your wounds have not healed, go and rest, I'll come." ”
"Okay, good son." Tian Jinkun handed over the boat penny to Tian Jinkun, and then went down to the cabin to rest, leaving Tian Jinkun alone to support the boat at the bow of the boat.
It was a harmonious scene, but suddenly the wind and clouds came again, and I saw that on the side of the boat, a huge monster covered with scales jumped up from the water, biting Tian Jinkun into the mouth of the blood basin with his head and body, and then plunged back into the river from the other side in an instant!
All the processes were completed in the blink of an eye, and Su Sanniang didn't even have time to launch the power of purification, Tian Jinkun was already buried at the bottom of the river, and only the fallen boat Artemisia was left on the water, and a red blood stain gradually faded on the river surface.
"Ahh
The passengers all shouted for help and cowered, only Tian Yi ran back to the deck in a panic and shouted hoarsely at the river: "Jinkun - Jinkun - "
No one answered, Tian Yi hurriedly took off his bulky cotton coat and wanted to go into the water to rescue, Su Sanniang stepped forward to stop him and shouted: "Tian Laohan, don't be impulsive, are you going to die too?" ”
Tian Yi shook off Su Sanniang's hand and cried, "Didn't you see it? My son, my son Jinkun was eaten by monsters! ”
Looking at Tian Yi's grief-stricken appearance, Su Sanniang was very helpless, as long as he shot the monster with the Heavenly Hunter in time just now, Tian Jinkun would not suffer from this bloody disaster, but unfortunately, the water monster was too fast, and he was exhausted, so he couldn't help at all, and reason told her that at this moment, Tian Jinkun had died in Huangquan, and anyone who went into the water again would just give his life in vain.
Tian Laohan slapped the side of the boat and cried: "It's all my fault, it's all my fault!" Why should I let Jinkun hold the boat? For that monster to eat my old life, I admit it...... Why do you want to harm my son Jinkun alone? ”
Seeing that Tian Laohan was stunned by the boat and did not move, and the monster did not know when it would attack again, a passenger said: "Tian Laohan, we are all ...... We all understand your feelings at this moment, but people can't be resurrected after death, we ...... There are so many of us, and we don't want to die, so please, don't throw us in the middle of the river, take us ashore! Please......"
Tian Laohan said blankly: "Which of you will support the boat, who will support it, Jinkun......"
Su Sanniang patted Tian Yi on the back and said, "I'll come." With that, he scooped up the boat wormwood that had fallen into the river, drew a cross on his chest, and said, "May the Lord grant you eternal peace, Amen." Carrying a group of passengers who had escaped death and a grief-stricken Tian Yi, he sailed to the other side with a heavy heart.
