Chapter 11: Wuji
The dead leaves are fluttering, the gale is shouting the mountains, and Huo Lun landed on the island, only to really feel such a bleak scenery. It should be a rich southern region, but at the moment it is full of desolation, only the scorching sun above the head is still full of life, as if it is trying its best to give this land the only care.
Holren and Yasuo made their way to the top of the mountain, and the sound of the Baruo bird could often be heard in their ears, and the breeze blew Yasuo's eyebrows and the stubble on his face, which looked particularly vicissitudes.
"You seem to have something on your mind?" Huo Lun carefully tested the friends around him, Yasuo's vicissitudes of life and tired eyes made Huo Lun a little worried in his heart.
"The Wuji Sect is not contaminated with turbid blood and earthly strife, and has always regarded itself as a lonely and arrogant sage on the top of the mountain, but now it is ......." Yasuo's tone was heavy and sighing, and his heart was infinitely emotional.
"So, now that the Ionians will unite against the enemy, and will no longer cause the land and the spirits of nature to suffer so much, isn't that one of the meanings of your journey with me?"
"Okay, sentimental Mr. Blowman, don't think too much, maybe I'll be lucky enough to find that Wuji Master today-Yi, otherwise I'll have to sleep with these vines."
The two of them walked towards the top of the mountain, and the vines along the way were like prisons and hungry beasts, eating away at what little wisdom and vitality the land had left. Horen knew that these vines could not be easily eradicated, and that their growth rate would increase faster with easy sweeping.
When the two of them reached the mountainside, they saw an old woman with a sickle, who had cut off the sickly brown lilies on the mountain road as if she were angry, and her steps were unsteady and she looked very tired.
"Old man, is there anything we can help you with?"
"I didn't expect anyone else to come here besides the man with the six-eyed helmet, and you guys are also here to look for livestock?" I saw the old woman turn to Holren and Yasuo, and walked slowly, "Stupid animals always like to run to this place, and they can't get out when they come in. “
Upon closer inspection, the old woman saw that the old woman was holding a small scythe in one hand, and was wearing a simple linen petticoat, the outer layer sewn from a messy and torn cotton cloth. She walked up to Horren and Yasuo, who nodded politely to her, and Yasuo bowed.
"Hey, you young people don't seem to be able to figure out the age, and I'm not a monk or nun, so don't be polite." The old woman then asked, "You don't look like you are working in the fields, but are you like that man who comes for a walk in good weather?" ”
The old woman's suspicious eyes made Huo Lun's mouth close with half open, and Huo Lun didn't intend to pretend to be innocent, and then Wang Gu changed the subject left and right.
"Is that person you are talking about at the top of the mountain?"
"I don't know, but I saw him occasionally when I was looking for cattle, and every time he would use his sword to help me, a trembling old woman."
After the old woman finished speaking, she looked at Yasuo and the steel sword beside him, the meaning in her eyes was simple and clear, Yasuo nodded at her immediately, and walked forward under the old woman's greeting.
Coming to a vine-covered hill road ahead. A little antelope, older than its cub, was weeping and wailing, its limbs firmly entangled in the thick vines, and the more it struggled, the tighter it became entangled.
"That one over there is Rasha, and it's not the first time he's been entangled here, and he's really a little fool," the old woman explained, "but it's of some use if the little fool can get out of this fierce mountain and go back to the fields." ”
"Can you sense the ferocity of this land?" Horren crouched beside the little antelope, gently soothing its head and fur, while Yasuo half-knelt beside him, carefully cutting the vine man with his sword to avoid hurting the antelope.
Under the coercion of the steel sword, the stout vine man took the initiative to retreat, and the antelope quickly escaped.
The old woman then clasped her hands to her chest and said resentfully, "Some disgraceful things have happened in this land, and they are all over anyway. ”
She then looked into the distance, her wrinkled cheeks revealing a hint of sadness and helplessness, "This land has lost the irrigation and shelter of natural magic, and only material methods can be filled slightly, and sometimes I really want to burn it all with a fire." ”
Yasuo wanted to say something to write when he heard this, but he heard Huo Lun respond without sadness or joy, "Your little antelope is free, I hope you will be careful when you go down the mountain, we will continue to go up the mountain and will not be able to accompany you." ”
"Up the hill, is that what happened? Is the Noxian army back so soon? If they come back one day, you must tell me, and I will leave by boat as soon as possible. ”
"Yes, I'll take my leave."
Horen then took Yasuo and continued to go up the mountain, looking at these devouring vines and the slight power of nothingness in the air, Horn looked serious and quickly went up the mountain, and knew in his heart that his war had just begun.
The vines that entwined on the mountain road were thick and powerful, trying to block the path of Horen and Yasuo again and again, but they were all forced by the power of pure wind and the steel sword to give way.
The slightly lifeless power of nothingness lingered in Fujiman, and the closer it got to the mountain, the stronger it became, and at the same time, the lingering death qi of Fujiman gradually had the posture of overwhelming the power of the storm around Huoren.
When I came to the top of the mountain, I saw that barren land, the raging vineman had already invaded and taken root, and the wreckage of the village, the overturned stone pillars, sculptures, houses, and shrines had been buried by the overwhelming vineman.
The tomb of the Infinite Swordsman, the resting place of Master Dolan, and the last pride of the Infinite Land are all gone, and in addition to sadness, Huo Lun's heart is more helpless and confused.
Yasuo's steel sword continued to stab at the approaching vines, and the vitality and magic of this land had long been exhausted, and this situation had been doomed since Sinjid's alchemical explosives bombarded Wuji Village.
Huo Lun looked at the dense vineman, his heart was full of anger, and a sad voice came out of his throat, "The memory of the rank will hang forever, may the name of the rank be remembered by the world, please rest here forever." ”
Horen's voice was tired, and in the depths of his mind was the countless yearning for the Infinite Land and the respect for the Master Dolan, and the rings, sticks, and swords he had created that had accompanied countless players in the past. Even if it can only be known from the information, it is enough to make Horn have a lot of respect for this master.
Huo Lun's fingertips flashed bright fire, and his dark eyes reflected an orange light, even if the swordsman's tomb was no longer glorious, it should retain its last dignity to defend and protect, even if it disappeared and fell in the flames, it should not be covered by this void vine.
The orange-red flames erupted at the fingertips, and the broken fire swept through the vines all over the mountains with the momentum of burning the plains, and the scorching heat gradually ignited all around, and the red and pure flames gradually burned the whole mountain bright and red, and the Wuji Tomb also became dark under the scorching flames.
The light of the fire struck the faces of the two men, and the hot wind blew the bare faces, and the last remaining life of the mountain died in the flames, turning into a complete silence.
The thick black smoke was blocked by Yasuo's wind power, Yasuo looked at Huo Lun with serious eyes, and slowly spoke, "You did something that might be right, but only Master Yi is qualified to burn this fire." ”
Horen turned to Yasuo, his eyes full of confusion and helplessness, "Maybe I made a mistake, maybe I misused my strength, I ...... I shouldn't have interfered in so many things myself, right? The whimpering tone, the sad eyes, and the twitching countenance looked particularly hesitant in the light of the fire.
After a moment, Huo Lun clenched his fists, a look of remorse, and then laughed at himself, "I'm just a passing traveler, but I did this kind of thing myself, as if I was a disciple of the Infinite Sword Dao." ”
Yasuo slowly approached, and slapped his left hand on Horren's shoulder, "Heroes tend to be nosy, and I, Irelia, and the people, if it weren't for your nosy, would all be dead by now." ”
Yasuo's encouraging gaze and reassuring look deepened the sin in Horen's heart, "But now, in the name of the glory of the swordsman, I have burned the name and resting place of the Infinite Dao in a high-sounding manner, and I am still an outsider. ”
"If you do what you must do, you will bear its pain; Where the sun sets, the sun sets. When Yasuo finished speaking, he turned and went down the mountain.
Horren knew in his heart that the second half of the sentence was an ancient saying in the southern region of Ionia, and at this moment the wood was in the boat, the sun was still shining, and the road ahead was long, and he must not shake his heart at this moment.
Huo Xianqing cleared his mind and mood, his eyes were clear, and then he picked up the stone on the ground and made a bloody mark on the palm of his left hand, and then knelt down in the direction of the tomb, bowing his head and repenting.
"The brilliance of the rank and my ignorance will be remembered in the palm of my hand for the rest of my life, no sharp blade can penetrate a calm heart, in the coming day, Huo Lun will definitely ask Master Yi for his guilt, forgive me for parting at this moment, just because I will suffer from it if I continue to break it, and the glory of the rank will surely reappear in the infinite sword."
After mourning, Huo Lun got up and hurried to catch up with Yasuo, and the two of them immediately peaked together, and the fire and black smoke of Wuji Mountain Peak looked particularly tragic under the barren land and scorching sun, like the last perseverance of a swordsman and the fire of life.
The flames ceased at the foot of the mountain, black smoke curled up and exposed to the vision of the whole of Ionia, and the once sacred mountain told the world with the last pride that it was gone.
"Mr. Blowman, where are you going?"
"Me? In addition to Wuji, this island is also the most famous in Tivasser, where to travel to the villages. ”
"That's very good."
"You figured it out?"
"I've always understood that I'm going to ask Yi for my guilt." Hollen's eyes were slightly lowered, and Yasuo's left glance saw Hollen's slowly bleeding left hand, and then turned back and continued to move forward.
"The situation in Tiwasser may not be optimistic."
"What do you mean?"
"Look at the vegetation all around." Hearing this, Horren immediately looked around, and found that there were dead plants all around Wuji Mountain, and the death of the spirit of nature and the death of life spread far away like a virus.
If Tivathur had also encountered such a vineman, or the whole of Ionia, the Land of Runeterra! Huo Lun didn't dare to think about it anymore, and his mind swelled all the way to think about the appropriate solution.
