Chapter 19: Yin and Yang Head
After the flame was born, it was not honest, as if it had feet and was beating left and right, just at this time there was a yin wind coming, the fire borrowed the wind, out of control, a circle of paper people plus tables and chairs, and the curtains were all ignited, and suddenly the fire was full of fire, and the smoke was everywhere, and Wu Zheng was drowned in a sea of red in the blink of an eye.
People have a strong sense of escape, Wu Zheng reacted at the first time, he took off his shirt to cover his head, and wanted to forcibly rush out of the fire, but as soon as his body reached the edge of the fire, he was forced back to the place by a heat wave.
After repeating this several times, Wu Zheng felt hot all over his body, had difficulty breathing, and his legs were weak and weak.
When Wu Zheng gradually despaired and wanted to give up resistance, he heard a whoosh, and a slender thing flew in through the flames, extremely fast, bringing up a string of winds, and the next second he felt his waist tense and was tightly entangled by that thing.
Wu Zheng looked down, his eyes suddenly lit up, it was his grandfather's whip, and seeing the whip was seeing hope!
Immediately afterwards, a powerful force passed down the whip to Wu Zheng's waist, Wu Zheng knew that this was his grandfather trying to drag him out outside the stage, so he skillfully borrowed the east wind, kicked hard under his feet, and jumped up along the force.
Wu Zheng knew that there was not much benefit in doing so, at most it was just to save his grandfather some effort.
Sure enough, he didn't land after jumping up, but flew in the direction of the outside of the stage, bringing a strong wind to blow the flames along the way to both sides of his body, and in the blink of an eye, Wu Zheng had escaped from the sea of fire unscathed, and after landing, he ran a few steps due to inertia, and was firmly supported by Jia Ye's big hands.
Jia Ye stood like a big mountain in front of him, and when he saw his family after the tribulation, Wu Zheng's eyes turned red, and Jia Ye also said with distress in his eyes: "It's okay, Zheng'er?" β
Wu Zheng nodded hurriedly, and then as if he remembered something, he hurriedly pointed to the stage and said, "Grandpa, save the mouse, the mouse is still inside!" β
Jia Ye sighed and said helplessly: "It's too late." β
As soon as the words fell, I heard a muffled bang, and the entire stage collapsed, Wu Zheng's heart seemed to be dragged hard in an instant, his fists were clenched, his eyes were astringent, and tears finally couldn't help but burst out of his eyes.
It is said that men don't flick when they have tears, but when they are not sad, whether it is against the fox spirit, whether they are facing the paper people on the stage, or even at the moment of crisis when they were almost burned to death by fire just now, Wu Zheng did not shed more than half a tear.
But now that he saw the rat buried in the fire, Wu Zheng shed precious tears for his friend, which is enough to prove that he is a good son who values love and righteousness!
But Wu Zheng didn't let grief blind his mind, wiped his eyes and looked at the scene that was still burning, and couldn't help but question: "Huh? It's weird! β
Jia Ye asked seemingly unintentionally on the side, "Oh? Where is it strange? β
Wu Zheng's eyebrows were tightly locked, he shook his head slightly, and said with a puzzled expression: "Grandpa, look, that stage is full of six floors, to say the least, it is twenty meters high, and there is not even a trace of dust when such a tall building collapses, which is unreasonable!" β
Indeed, the raw materials of the building must be inseparable from the sand, not to mention the stage built in the wild, after the wind and rain, there is no telling how much soil ash has gathered inside.
Taking 10,000 steps back, even if someone is diligent in cleaning and keeping the inside of the stage spotless, there is bare ground outside the stage, and the dust is flying after the collapse is the scene it should be.
Looking at the front of me, although the flames continued and crackled, the air around me was very clean, as if there was an invisible huge vacuum cleaner that sucked up the dust that should have appeared.
In a word, this definitely doesn't look like the site of the collapse of a high-rise building.
Jia Ye patted Wu Zheng's head, with a hint of imperceptible relief on his face, and said: "Zheng'er, that's right, your personality has always been frizzy, but many things have to be calm down to see the essence, if you take a closer look, what else is suspicious?" β
Wu Zheng didn't quite understand his grandfather's intentions, but he still looked carefully, and saw that the flames in front of him were no longer as rampant as before, and there was no sky-swallowing momentum like a sea of fire, and there was not much combustible left, and most of them were burned without a trace.
Wait a minute...... Trace?
Wu Zheng opened his mouth and looked at his grandfather in surprise, obviously aware of the strangeness, and said with incredulity in his eyes: "This is impossible, how can this be!" β
That's right, you can think about it carefully, a 20-meter-high building, even if it is papier-mΓ’chΓ©, can't be wiped out without a trace after burning, right?
Not only that, Wu Zheng quickly discovered the third point that was wrong.
Because they were next to the stage, the two ancient trees were also affected by the fire, and after a moment of burning and then disappeared out of thin air, the red lantern certainly could not escape the same fate.
But the strange thing is that although the lantern is gone, the lights inside still exist, and two palm-sized balls of light are hanging in the air, emitting a faint glow of fireflies.
Just now, due to the flames, the light balls were too weak, so Wu Zheng didn't find it, but now as the fire gets smaller, the two light balls are becoming more and more conspicuous.
Without any support, without any traction, the ball of light hung in the air like a kite, still swaying in the wind, like a pair of demonic eyes, with an unknown grimace hidden behind it.
After another two minutes, the stage was already burning, and the last trace of fire was also swallowed up by the night, the two balls of light suddenly fell to the ground and began to bounce back and forth like leather balls, without stopping for a long time, Wu Zheng thought he was dazzled, and hurriedly rubbed his eyes, but the balls of light still bounced non-stop.
Seeing this, Jia Ye hesitated, whispered a few words in his mouth, stretched out his hand to cover Wu Zheng's eyes, and gently touched Wu Zheng's forehead with his other hand.
Although I don't know what my grandfather did, the world in Wu Zheng's eyes has changed clearly, he saw two little boys chasing and playing among the graves not far away, the ball of light is a toy in the hands of the child, you pat it, I kick it, and I have a lot of fun.
The two children looked like they were about seven or eight years old, dressed very strangely, with a dark blue cardigan on the top, and something similar to a skirt on the bottom, the length to the feet, and the hairstyle was even more bizarre, with a bald head on the front half of the head, and a long whip on the back half, almost reaching the waist, with obvious yin and yang heads.
What the...... Yin and Yang heads? Wu Zheng was suddenly shocked, he read a lot of books and watched a lot of TV, these two children were clearly dressed in the Qing Dynasty from head to toe!
Seeing the children of the Qing Dynasty in modern time, Wu Zheng certainly knew that he was worthy of the name......
At this time, Jia Ye made a timely move, turned his wrist and picked up the whip, shook it gently, and with a snap, it resounded in the night sky, and the two children screamed at the same time, their facial features were twisted together in fright, and they quickly picked up their ball of light, ran to a grave and jumped in front of a smoke, and disappeared without a trace.
