Volume 1: The Road to the Hometown of the Dead Chapter 1: Visions of the Willow Forest
With the end of the last shower of the valley rain season, the curtain of late spring has come to an end, and early summer has quietly arrived.
The early summer of Beiqi City this year, but it is far different from previous years, it is unusually hot and dry, this heat is lingering with any external fan and ice cubes, this is a dry heat that affects the psychology from the outside, this hot and dry heat directly stirs people's whole body itching, extremely uncomfortable, this hot and dry heat directly provokes people's emotions to be extremely turbulent, and the nerves are like being eaten by ten thousand ants.
Sitting without fun, sleeping without sleep, eating without taste, weakness and sleepiness...... This is the most direct feeling of all Northern Qi people now.
In particular, Bixian County in Beiqi City is more real, in a village in the northeast corner of Bixian County, there was a bizarre vision of spontaneous combustion in the willow forest.
"Oh, the ancient village?" There was a burst of surprise in the Xie family's mansion!
The largest family in Bi County is none other than the Xie family, and the other families can only look at it when they join forces, and the head of the Xie family is Xie Yu!
After knowing about the spontaneous combustion incident in Liulin, he attached great importance to it and immediately convened relevant people in his family and convened a temporary emergency meeting.
Immediately, he rushed to the place of the incident with a group of family members!
The dark purple flames rose into the sky, unusually demonic, and the willow branches burned with a "squeak" sound, which was particularly harsh!
Around the willow glade, it was already crowded with nearby villagers watching.
"The staff of each family is in place!" With Xie Yu's order, the "work" team of about 100 people began to get busy!
"It was reported that the maximum temperature of the whole day was 20 degrees, which did not reach the ignition point of spontaneous combustion......"
"Report, the willow trees are all new branches and young leaves, and the willow branches are still wet raw trees, and they cannot spontaneously combust......"
"The report, the eyewitnesses were screened and investigated, not a human ......"
For the results of the investigation, Xie Yu fell into deep thought!
"Extinguish the fire!" Xie Yukang's powerful and powerful voice spread throughout the entire willow forest.
For a while, Liulin became more "lively", the villagers went to their homes to get buckets and scoops, the staff took out fire-fighting equipment, and some of the remaining people were digging wet soil!
"Extinguish"!
When the order was given, the people all started in unison, but instead of abating, the fire was three points stronger, as if they had thrown not wet earth, cold water, or dry ice, but oil.
The temperature of the flames also rose higher and higher, making people afraid to get any closer.
"Extinguish again"!
No one dared to disobey Xie Yu's order, but the fire in Liulin seemed to be unquenchable and endless......
Xie Yu began to frown.
"The valley rain and the sun are declining, the early summer is overcast, the Qiankun is at the end, the Bixian is in turmoil, the willow spontaneous combustion, it is a strange fire, the fire is coming, the disaster is in the world, the population is poor, and the six animals are restless......" Just when there was no progress in extinguishing the fire and everyone was anxious, a vague word came to everyone's ears.
Everyone followed the sound and looked, and an old man wearing a Taoist robe, holding a whisk in his hand, and his thin body came into view.
At first glance, he should be a hundred years old, his face was full of wrinkles, his skin was extremely loose, and the skin on his exposed neck was wrinkled, like a scalded pigskin.
For some reason, the entire eyeball of the left eye was gone, leaving only a hollow hole, and when I looked inside, it was deep and pitch black, which made people feel cold.
The right eyeball has a strange red color, and the eyeball is dark blue, which looks very terrifying!
"This old man, dare to ask, what do you mean?" Standing next to Xie Yu was a beautiful woman of about 18 years old, with white skin and a nose.
Her figure is extremely hot, not at all the plump she should have at that age, and the white shirt can't cover the fullness of her upper body, so she deliberately unbuttoned two buttons, revealing the snow-white arc of her chest.
"Jin'er, don't interject" Xie Yu turned his head to persuade, his eyes full of doting.
The sudden appearance of the old man was really unexpected, but he wanted to see what this mysterious old man had the ability to extinguish this fire.
"The willow branch will not spontaneously combust under such conditions, this is the work of the different fire, the different fire is the heavenly fire, and the heavenly fire is divided into divine fire and evil fire......" Lao Dao coughed twice, cleared his throat and continued, "The heavenly fire that caused the spontaneous combustion of the willow forest is the evil fire ......"
"Evil fire?" Everyone was stunned and confused.
"Wait, this is the formation?" Lao Dao glanced at this willow forest and exclaimed!
"Formation?" Chinese culture is broad and profound, and many people have heard of many formations in ancient times.
"That's right, this is the formation of the ancient period, called the Eight Desolation Formations under the Liuhe Willows, and these willow branches are not mortal", Lao Dao said this, and began to stagger around to observe.
I saw him shaking the dust with his left hand, constantly calculating with his right hand, and chanting a secret incantation in his mouth.
"There are fierce beasts from ancient times pressed under the formation, and when this willow forest is burned out, the formation will also become invalid, and the fierce beasts that have lifted the seal will break out of the formation" Goodbye Lao Dao began to gesture with his hands, muttering and muttering in his mouth......
Everyone couldn't help but be stunned when they heard this, and the atmosphere became tense!
Lao Dao took out a golden paper crane from his cuff, it seemed to have spirituality, flapped its wings twice, flew into the evil fire of the willow forest, and after a while, flew back unscathed, and leaned into Lao Dao's ear, as if telling something.
"Not good, not good, not good!" Lao Dao snorted three times, only to see that his face was blue and his breathing was short!
When everyone saw Lao Dao's panicked expression, they couldn't help but feel worried, and their eyes began to show fear......
Lao Dao bit his middle finger with his sharp front teeth, and then, he took out a charm from his cuff, and the blood of his middle finger was left on the charm, and the yellow charm instantly turned red.
"Definitely!" The old man shouted, and the charm flew up like wings, circled over the willow forest, and then plunged headlong into the dark purple flames.
The fire talisman is entangled with the dark purple fire......
Everyone originally thought that the fire should be under control, but they didn't expect the fire to start surging up, much stronger than before.
For a moment, they all began to panic.
"Enough, it turns out that you are just a liar who walks the rivers and lakes, and only has a three-legged cat!" Xie Yu rebuked sharply, "Don't demagogue and spread feudal superstition anymore, do you think it's still the age of empires?" It is estimated that you have lived in the mountains for a long time and forgotten the current way of the world! Now that the major families are jointly governing Bixian County, do you want to cause sabotage from it? ”
Lao Dao didn't care about Xie Yu's reprimand and ignored him.
In fact, what everyone saw was an illusion produced by a strange fire, and the fire was rushing violently, just to blind the eyes of those present.
Lao Dao can really see that the fire talisman is fighting fiercely against the alien fire, and the color of the dark purple flame has begun to fade to purple, and when the purple is all gone, the evil fire will retreat to blue again!
He only needs to use the fire stop charm and fire extinguishing charm to completely destroy the evil fire in the willow forest.
He knew very well that only by making a move now was the best time to maintain the formation, under the formation, what kind of ancient fierce beast was it, it was a strange beast, more fierce and terrifying than the ancient fierce beast......
He didn't dare to talk about it to people, because mortals relied too much on their eyes, and it was in vain for him to say it!
Only by extinguishing the evil fire of this willow forest first, and then repairing the formation, can we continue to suppress the alien beasts below, and the world will return to peace.
Xie Yu glanced fiercely, and the armed men accompanying him understood, and immediately stepped forward to forcibly stop Lao Dao, snatched the fire stop charm from his hand, and seized it, aiming the pistol and machine gun at his heart and head at the same time.
There are many things that are beyond human cognition, whether the world believes or not, they will all come, and their arrival is far greater than the current natural disasters hundredfold, thousand, and ten thousandfold...... That's devastating. "Lao Dao persuaded Xie Yu earnestly!
"What a clever mouth, everything has a cause, it will end, and there will be a truth and result"
The willow branches continued to burn, and the fire talisman disappeared into the flames, and the purple flames gradually turned back to deep purple!
"The truth? Outcome? Lao Dao snorted coldly, "The result behind is something that the whole world can't afford, let alone a mere you?" ”
"It's better to believe him once......
"Just trust him once......
Everyone began to timidly persuade Xie Yu!
"You are also highly educated, you have to believe in science, these nonsense are absurd, feudal superstition, and demagogy!" Xie Yu looked around, he didn't expect these "intellectuals" to be shaken so quickly!
"But"
"Enough!"
Jin'er on the side wanted to say something, but when she saw Xie Yu's face full of seriousness and displeasure, she stopped talking again, and just pursed her sexy red lips aggrievedly.
"Shut up, ignorant and self-righteous human beings, the more advanced science and technology, why is your thinking more backward, there are too many bizarre and strange things in the world that cannot be explained by our current science, your conceit and arrogance will bury everyone, and you, Piff, will also become a sinner......" Lao Dao was like a beast, his dark blue eyes began to redden, and he roared at Xie Yu.
"It's really a big talk, what if this willow forest burns? Rebuild a willow forest! Xie Yu secretly thought in his heart: If there really is any ancient fierce beast, in this era, it is nothing more than a matter of spending more guns and cannons.
The armed men understood Xie Yu's meaning and began to escort Lao Dao to the car.
"If you don't make achievements in life, you will do nothing after death, Bixian will be buried in your inaction, the country will be destroyed in your ignorance, and the world will be overturned in your 'superstition', or use my life to wake you up, what is "science", what is "superstition" ......"
Lao Dao's words shook the heavens and attacked the souls of everyone present!
"Ridiculous, lamentable, pathetic, hateful, more pitiful......"
Before the armed personnel could react, Lao Dao had already bitten off his tongue, and the blood sprayed straight three meters high, and it did not fall for a long time, slowly condensing into a Tai Chi sign, clearly levitating!
Goodbye Lao Dao's whole body, as light as a piece of paper, broke free from the handcuffs, got rid of the shackles of the armed men, and slowly took off into the air, like a leaf, dancing in the air!
"Hmph, fancy style!" Disdainful, one of the armed men raised his hands, jumped up, and grabbed Lao Dao's feet.
"Run? Non-existent, you, ah......" Before he could finish his words, he let out a heart-rending scream.
The scene that happened in front of them was shocking to everyone.
I saw that his hands had huge blisters, as if they had been burned by something hot.
The dark blue blisters, as if they had been poisoned, pierced the pain of the heart, making this well-trained man roll all over the ground.
Xie Yu raised his hand gently, signaling not to act rashly!
Lao Dao's body finally stopped drifting, and plunged into the blood mark of Tai Chi, and the two strangely merged into one!
"The world I once loved, let me make the last contribution for you, the beast of the abyss, don't want to go up to the human world......" The lengthy words echoed between heaven and earth, and did not disperse for a long time!
Tai Chi's blood mark carried the body of the old Tao, surrounding the evil fire, circling wildly, he was looking for the birth of the formation.
"Shengmen, the northeast direction of the Gen Palace" He roared angrily, and plunged into the flames, and the evil fire began to sway from side to side, looking extremely painful, and struggling restlessly!
Everyone present was shocked when they saw it, and they couldn't help but be scared, and their bodies began to tremble......
Only Xie Yu, as always, was plain and calm.
With a stick of incense, Lao Dao's body was completely incinerated by the flames of evil fire, turned into ashes, and merged with the formation of the willow woodland!
Everyone gasped for breath, and their faces were extremely panicked!
The willow forest was still burning under the evil fire, but the dark purple flame faded and turned directly into a silver-gray ......
An hour later, the fire finally subsided, and everyone breathed a long sigh of relief, and the hanging hearts could finally fall!
Faintly visible in the flames, the ten willow trees have not yet burned, and even, they have not been affected by the evil fire, they are still new branches and young leaves, which looks extremely strange.
Jin'er had never seen such a scene, she was so frightened that she hid behind Xie Yu, and her jade hand tightened his clothes!
"Take advantage of the fire to attenuate, take advantage of its weakness, and extinguish its source!" Xie Yu ordered, then turned to comfort Jin'er, and blindfolded her with his big hand.
In fact, in his opinion, it doesn't matter if the fire is extinguished or not, it's just a show to calm people's hearts.
Just when everyone started together, a strange scene appeared, the original remnants of the sporadic evil fire, in the blink of an eye, disappeared, like a lit kerosene lamp, which was extinguished by a strong wind.
At this moment of lightning, the evil fire extinguished itself, which caught people off guard and was extremely frightened to think about!
Everyone stared at each other, full of suspicion, but in fact, they were more afraid, and those with weak psychological tolerance sat directly on the ground.
"Fellow villagers, don't be afraid, there are no demons and monsters in this world at all, and after the investigation is over, we will give you a satisfactory answer" Xie Yu calmed the people's hearts, and then asked the on-site "staff" to guide the villagers to go home.
The "investigation team" of the same company began to get busy, going down to the willow woodland to take samples and investigate!
"Ahh Xie Yu was about to turn around to return to the car, when a piercing scream stopped him.
He turned back in annoyance, trying to see what ignorant guy was making trouble.
However, what happened in front of him was something he had never seen in his life, and he, like everyone else, fell into confusion and panic!
The ten willow trees that were still surviving at that time disappeared in the blink of an eye.
In the sky above the willow forest, a red rain suddenly fell, falling into the ashes without any difference, and a fishy smell and stench came to the nostrils.
"Blood, it's blood!"
"Blood?"
"Blood! Blood......"
The villagers were in an uproar, frightened, screaming, and moaning helplessly......
What they saw was not red rain at all, but blood, bloody, falling straight down.
After a while, the scorched black willow woodland was dyed red by the rain of blood, and the treacherous red color challenged everyone's visual nerves!
The blood rain became heavier and heavier, and the charred black ground became redder and redder, and a pool of red blood was strangely formed.
The self-burning red sky of the willow forest and the pool of red blood are staggered, forming a strange red scene, filling the sky of Bixian and enveloping the land of Bixian, as if the end of the world is coming.
Seeing that the scene was out of control, Xie Yu hurriedly organized manpower to evacuate the frightened villagers, and on the other hand, began to mobilize psychologists from major hospitals to follow up and treat them.
The villagers had lost their minds and couldn't care about Xie Yu's arrangements at all, so they ran home in a panic, running desperately.
After they returned home, some buried their heads in the quilt and hid, some burned incense and prayed, some asked the priests to ward off the disaster, and some packed their belongings and prepared to move their families......
Xie Yu left an armed force to guard the scene, and ordered them that no one could approach within a radius of five miles, and then returned to Bixian County with the rest of the people!
The rain of blood did not stop because of their departure, and continued to be sprinkled, as if to encroach on this land!
