Chapter 1: Wedges
wedge
There is a nursery rhyme that a three-year-old child can recite backwards in the Jiluo tribe: "Walking in Jiluo Ridge at night, the owl screams steeply and frightened, the bald mountain is like a ghost, chanting Buddha and praying for the dawn." ”
It is rumored that the border of Jiluo is ten miles of bald mountains, barren mountains are everywhere, and there is no grass. The only peak is located in the middle, towering and upright, obliquely inserted into the clouds, surrounded by fertile soil at the foot of the mountain, the trees are high and the grass is dense, the rare treasures in the forest and the strange poisonous beasts coexist, and the poisonous fog outside the forest is pervasive, and the strange atmosphere is everywhere. This peak was born in the barren ridge but is different from the barren ridge, although it is the peak ridge but lonely and fierce, there is no way to climb, such as a sharp sword blade that falls into the ground, so the name is called the cliff.
Although there are many rare and exotic beasts on the cliff, it is because of its frightening rumors and treacherous poisonous fog, and no one cares about it within a radius of ten miles.
Looking down from mid-air, the border of Jilo is vast and powerful, and the strange rocks are craggy, but the bottom of the cliff is surrounded by a strange greenery, faintly showing the trend of a dragon and snake.
At this moment, the border of Gilo is windy, and the sand and rocks are flying. The dead leaves at the bottom of the cliff danced in the wind, obscuring the midday sun for a while. The thick clouds rolled and stirred wildly, and the sky suddenly darkened. When the wind howled, the ink-like blackness fell down the lower and lower clouds, and suddenly lightning and thunder roared in the air, and a miserable white and sharp lightning split the clouds and rushed straight to the cliff.
On the top of the cliff, a man stood tall and turned his hand to catch the lightning hard. The man wore an ink-colored robe, embroidered with dark patterns and clouds, and his gestures were full of evil spirits, and after receiving the power of lightning lightly, his thin lips moved slightly, and he recited a string of ancient incantations.
A wooden pendant floated up from his waist and hung in the air, and when lightning struck, it trembled slightly and whined. A moment later, the wooden pendant glowed with a strong golden light, tangling towards the lightning bolt like a substance.
Lightning surged through the palm of his right hand like an enraged beast. With his left hand, he drew an intricate spell out of thin air, with the right as the ground and the left as the cage, and his hands were clasped together, imprisoning the light of the grappling in his palm. The thunder and lightning in the air intensified, and the wind ruffled his long red hair, and the white lightning split through the thick night and rushed straight towards him, reflecting his evil and beautiful face. It was a man with a delicate face, his face was better than snow, his thin lips were like blood, and his beautiful Danfeng eyes were seductive, and he was very strange.
The man in the ink shirt looked at the waist pendant hanging in the air and kept wailing, gritted his teeth, hooked an evil smile, turned around and connected with his back, and his momentum was exactly the same. The light became more and more violent under the continuous injection of lightning, and after a while, it turned into a snake and wrapped around his hands, and struck down his arms towards his heart.
"Poof", he spurted out a mouthful of blood, and was immediately struck by lightning, smashing into the rock behind him, and then slowly falling to the ground. The flesh and blood in the palms of his hands were blurred, and there was a clear pain in his internal organs. But he didn't seem to notice anything, only slowly got up and stood, looked at the wooden pendant, and smiled with satisfaction.
The pendant is in the shape of a long strip, made of wood, with two lines of small characters engraved on the face, a leaf carved on the back, tied with a thin red rope, and a strand of gold wire hanging down to make a tassel. At this moment, the wooden pendant glowed with golden light, and a vivid snake-shaped figure appeared on the face of the pendant, and strange black and red lines climbed up from the edge of the pendant. At the same time, an ancient and strange black vine-like pattern suddenly appeared on his cheeks.
The lightning and thunder stopped abruptly.
Heavy clouds surged in the dark sky, a blood moon like a bowstring slowly climbed up the clouds, and a faint howl of a beast was heard from the bottom of the cliff.
A strange laugh came from mid-air, and a dark and strange voice came from the clouds, "The son of the ancient clan did not hesitate to use forbidden arts. Do you know what it costs to turn back time and space? ”
The man looked up at the clouds, his evil and bewildering eyes revealed arrogant and uninhibited confidence, the corners of his lips hooked slightly, and he pulled out a smile that turned all beings upside down, "With my life, sacrifice my talent, fight the stars, and change my life against the sky!" ”
"Are you willing to give up your life and your talents?" The gloomy voice didn't seem to expect that the descendants of the ancient clan were willing to sacrifice their talents to reverse time and space, and they stagnated slightly.
"God blocks and kills God, and Buddha blocks and kills Buddha."
As soon as the man's voice fell, the bowstring-like blood moon gradually faded red, and slowly turned into a semicircle, which was the first quarter moon; Between the clouds, another vivid semi-full moon gradually climbs, and it is the last quarter moon next to it.
The two months stood side by side, standing at the ends of the clouds, faintly stained with a little strange blood red, as if they were grinning a strange and cold smile.
A cold and deep sneer came from mid-air, "As you wish." ”
