Volume 4 Huameng Burst Chapter 5 Spirit Beast (3)
As soon as they landed, the four catchers also caught up. The flames of the Yellow Bird Slope soared to the sky, and the firelight was reflected on everyone's faces, all of them were drenched in sweat. Seeing that Xuanji and them were also there, he hurriedly shouted, "Someone! When we came running, we found someone in the woods! ”
Yu Sifeng was taken aback, and said repeatedly: "Are you sure you read it right?" ”
It's burning so badly here, they still feel hot and dry on the edge of the forest, let alone in the woods. Catching Kuaiyi nodded and said, "Absolutely right!" It seems that he is still wearing a hat, as if he is in a hurry. I called him a few times, but he didn't, and disappeared in a blink of an eye. I saw that the fire was burning badly in the woods, and I didn't dare to chase in. ”
Presumably a 'lost' traveler, if he is allowed to 'wander' in the Yellow Bird Slope like this, he will be burned to death sooner or later. Yu Sifeng and Xuanji glanced at each other, nodded, untied the water bag around their waists, and poured it upside down from head to toe, the water was already hot from the high temperature, and the wet clothes were attached to the skin, and they were blown by the scorching wind, which was hotter than just now.
"Two young heroes?" When the four catchers saw their appearance, they were about to enter the forest, and hurriedly stopped: "It's burning so badly, wouldn't it be death if you go in?!" ”
Yu Sifeng borrowed a few more bags of water from the two catchers, hung them on his waist, and said in a low voice: "Trouble a few people to wait here, pay attention to the movements around." Let's go in and see, and come out. After saying that, without waiting for them to stop them again, the two of them quickly ran into the forest. The forest of Yellow Bird Slope burned more and more violently, and even the soil was burned red and cracked, and the two of them only picked up the place that was not burned, and after a while, the water on their bodies was dried up, and the skin on their faces almost fell off as painful. However, this is still secondary, the most critical ground is burned like an iron pot, and the soles of the feet are only afraid of many blisters. It hurts so much. The two of them had to pour two more bags of water and look around, one is to find the fire beast that was 'shot' by Xuanji. One is to look for the travelers who have just caught the fast sight.
After looking in the forest for a long time, there is still no trace. All four bags of water have been used up. If they stay any longer, they will become roasted 'meat' alive. Yu Sifeng saw that there were flames in front of him, and there was no way to get in, so he had to sigh: "That's it, let's go back." We are in danger of staying any longer. ”
Xuanji nodded, and the two were about to return the same way. Suddenly, in the flames of the forest opposite, there was a clear whistling sound, it was the voice of the fire beast before, both of them were stunned, and hurriedly turned back, but saw that in the bright red and dazzling firelight, there was a faint figure walking, in such a hot environment, he was actually unhurried. Holding the hat, leisurely. The whistling gradually subsided, and finally became a song. (,16K,CN is the fastest).
"Heaven is not to be worried. The Word is not premeditated; Is there a fate in the late count, and the evil knows the time? And the husband and the earth are the furnace. Creation is work; 'Yin' and yang are charcoal. All things are copper. ”
The sound was clearer and more melodious, and it could reach as long as nine days. Xuanji listened for a long time. Qi said: "That monster beast can actually sing!" What is he singing? ”
Yu Sifeng shook his head: "It seems to say that the way of heaven is ungraspable, even if you know something in advance, you can't predict exactly when it will happen." All living beings are like living in a furnace, where 'yin' and yang are charcoals, smelted one by one. ”
He suddenly thought of the recent events, and couldn't help but be silent. The song is actually right, even though Liu Yihuan has heavenly eyes, can look at the overall situation, and know the blessings and misfortunes, but there is a certain number in the dark, who can really achieve good fortune and avoid evil.
Xuanji also seemed to have a feeling, and was silent. The demon beast sang for a while, then suddenly laughed loudly, and said in a deep voice: "Two little dolls, they are not small!" actually used sword qi to stab Lao Tzu! ”
Both of them were startled, only to see the blazing fire on the opposite side suddenly burst up, and the momentum 'forced' people, and they had to take two steps back, and the wall of fire cracked a crack in it, as if it was torn open by a pair of invisible giant hands, and the figure who had been walking slowly in the firelight walked out of the crack leisurely. The man was dressed in a dark 'colored' garment, with a hat on his head, holding it with one hand and hammering it on his shoulder with the other. In the firelight, I only felt that his hair was like silver, the roots were flying, half of his face was 'exposed' under the hat, his chin was smooth like 'jade', and the corners of his mouth were smiling.
"It's you!" Xuanji pointed at him, and her jaw was about to drop. It was actually the person they met at the ridge in the afternoon! When I started to see his snow-white hair, I thought it was an old man, but I didn't know that it was a young man! "You...... You won't be ...... A youkai who set fire, right? ”
The man sneered, did not answer, and after a while, he said: "I am forced to borrow the world, and I will have my own blessings in the future." This fire will be extinguished when it is ugly, and if you don't want to burn here, you might as well get out of here. ”
Yu Sifeng frowned, and said in a low voice: "So...... The fire beast...... Teng Snake ...... It's you? ”
The man helped the hat and looked up at him, Yu Sifeng only felt that his eyes were burning, like cold electricity, and his heart couldn't help but sudden. Teng Snake is by no means an ordinary demon beast, but a divine beast in the sky, since he said that he will borrow the Tao in the world, there will be blessings in the future, then there is no falsehood. With him and Xuanji, there is no need to think about it, they will definitely not be able to fight him, and one hair can stab two to death. immediately retreated, and arched his hand: "It's me who is reckless." Please go first, and we'll retire immediately. ”
Xuanji was pulled by him and walked a few steps, but he still couldn't help but look back at the man, and said strangely: "He is Teng Snake?" That giant youkai just now? Why has it changed again......"
Yu Sifeng said in a low voice: "It's not a monster, it's a divine beast." You and I can't control this matter, so I can only let him go. ”
Xuanji's heart was also roasted by the flames, and he really didn't want to stay longer, so he nodded. Who knew that the man behind him suddenly sneered: "You guys are going like this? If you dare to be rude to Lao Tzu, you will naturally have to pay the price! ”
The two of them were taken aback, Xuanji only felt that the collapsed 'jade' on her waist suddenly became hot, and it became as if she had just been taken out of the furnace, which made her tremble, and the next moment the collapsed 'jade' rose from the scabbard, drew a silver light in the air, and fell steadily in the man's hand.
"Is it to stab Lao Tzudi with this sword?" The man was very arrogant, stretched out his finger and flicked it on the 'jade', and when he landed there was a clear humming sound, he praised: "There is such a good sword in the mortal world!" No wonder it can hurt Lao Tzu! You two little dolls don't know Mount Tai with eyes, and you haven't seen the world, and Lao Tzu doesn't blame you. As punishment, leave this sword to Lao Tzu! ”
He turned around and pointed to the shoulder blade, and sure enough, there was a small 'hole' in his clothes, but it didn't hurt the skin and 'flesh', so I don't know. The sword qi of the 'jade' ground was extremely sharp, and even the rocks could be split, and the two of them had just witnessed the sword qi stabbing the body of the snake land, only to cut a 'hole' in his clothes, and they couldn't help but be shocked in their hearts.
Xuanji saw that the 'jade' kept chirping in his hand, as if he didn't want to leave his master, and immediately said urgently: "I can't leave it to you!" That's my sword! ”
The man smiled and said, "If the sword is not left, then keep the people!" Did you stab Lao Tzu with that hand? Chop it yourself! ”
Seeing that he was so unreasonable, the stubborn brute force in his 'nature' came up and said angrily: "It's obviously you're wrong!" Inexplicably caused a fire and killed many people! Return the beast! It's fake, right?! ”
The man was furious and shouted, "What a rude girl! How can the beast allow you to be insulted! ”
Xuanji then scolded: "It's you who brought humiliation on yourself!" ”
The man sneered, and didn't answer, holding the 'jade' between his two fingers, and he was about to break it with force. Xuanji screamed, and grabbed it to stop it, but the wall of fire behind him suddenly skyrocketed, like a big 'door' opening and closing, squeezing over, she only felt that the heat was unbearable, and she had to retreat.
The man folded for a long time, but the 'jade' didn't move, he couldn't help but be a little surprised, raised his hand and gently stroked it, and exclaimed: "Dingkun?!" It's actually Dingkun! How did you become like this......" Suddenly startled again, he looked up at Xuanji, saw his feet from his head, and muttered, "It's changed a lot...... No wonder, no wonder......"
Xuanji didn't care what he was "no wonder", and shouted: "Give me back the sword!" You dead monster! ”
The man smiled, 'inserted' the collapsed 'jade' into the ground, hugged his arms and said loudly: "Lao Tzu has heard that your samadhi is really powerful, and I have always wanted to find a chance to compete with you. God pity! Today finally made Lao Tzu wait for the opportunity! You're welcome, let's make a move! Let me see what the God of War general is like! ”
Seeing that his eyes were fanatical and his expression was strange, Xuanji was a little timid in his heart, took two steps back, and said lightly: "I...... I don't compare ...... with you."
The man laughed wildly and said, "No, no! Look at the moves! As soon as the words fell, I saw the wall of fire behind him "whew", like a surging sea, overwhelmingly smashing down, and the heat 'wave' was enough to melt the steel. Xuanji screamed, she couldn't care about the question of embarrassment or not, and fled with a crawl, but she was almost 'licked' by the tongue of fire, and her skirt was burned in half in an instant.
The man laughed and said in a sneering voice: "! 'Dew' 'Spring', in the end she is still an ordinary 'woman'! Xuanji's face was red and white, and she grabbed the corner of her skirt and couldn't speak. There was a sudden weight on her shoulders, but it was Yu Sifeng who took off her coat and put it on her, and said in a low voice: "Put it on." Let's wait for an opportunity to escape, he's too strong. He took off his coat and put on his upper body, sweat rushing on his skin, reflecting the firelight, diffraction and 'color'.
Xuanji was stunned for a moment, but then blushed, and the words thank you were stuck in her throat and couldn't be said, so she had to turn around and leave. Yu Sifeng saw that the Teng snake was about to summon the flames, so he immediately 'pulled' out the rune paper, pinched the seal and threw it out, turning into a small water dragon in the sky and blocking the flames. He took advantage of this gap to turn around and flee, and suddenly heard the man laugh and say: "Leaving the palace is a fire, and you can change as you like." Flee without a fight, it's better to ***. ”
He only felt a burning pain behind him, and when he turned around, he saw that the sea of fire was covering him, engulfing him in an instant, and the screams of Xuanji behind him seemed to have become far away.
