Chapter 8 Zhong Lijie
Ning Ran's hand holding Mu Ge suddenly let go, and the hope in his eyes that looked at Mu Ge turned into resentment, and then it turned into nothing in an instant, it was a desperate look.
Mu Ge didn't know what to say, so he could only look around and ask for help. Uncle Ai stood beside him, patted his shoulder, and leaned over to pick up Ning Ran.
"Let's go home. β
Ning Ran sat at the window, his eyes hollow. Uncle Ai could still see the light in Ning Ran's eyes before this, but now the light has dissipated. Uncle Ai will never be able to tell him about his life story in person.
"Ningran, eat. Uncle Ai carefully brought a bowl of fried rice, which was Ning Ran's favorite. "Don't look at it, there's something nice about the insects in the window, come, eat it while it's hot. β
Ning Ran turned his head slightly, tears had already dried up on his cheeks, he slowly propped up his body and walked past Uncle Ai's side.
"Not hungry. β
He was going to go out for a walk. The pedestrians on the street were bustling, and no one would stop to pay attention to this down-and-out young man, Uncle Ai followed him nervously, and walked a few steps to accompany Ning Ran to stop.
"Tell me, about my parents' secrets. β
Uncle Ai was full of smiles, and he approached Ning Ran, intending to persuade this stubborn boy again.
"Since you don't say it, then don't follow me. Ning Ran turned around and squeezed out a smile, "I'll come back in a walk, don't worry about me." β
Uncle Ai looked at his back and sighed softly, and let him go.
Ning Ran bypassed the five streets, aimed at the horse tied to the side of the road, he burned the reins and turned over and sat on his back and drove away. The owner of the horse hurriedly ran out shouting, and was so anxious in the street that he cursed, attracting passers-by to watch.
Someone recognized the back as the down-and-out boy after the exhibition game.
Ning Ran rode his horse and galloped eastward, and it only took two hours for him to come to the East Forest.
The East Side Forest is a no-go zone for the inhabitants of the floating islands, where the trees reach into the sky and flourish, and you can feel its strong vitality from a distance, and most of the remaining creatures except the Terrans survive and thrive in the East Zone, forming a wonderful balance.
Uncle Ai told Ning Ran about the fate of those who randomly broke into the forest people in the long history. If someone wants to step into the forest with killing intent, the energy in their body will turn into a trace of fire and be sucked into the forest, and then they will be killed by the demigods who guard the floating island. At that time, there will be a floating flame ghost gathered out like a ghost, turning into the shape of a horse, that is, the demigod Zhong Li Jie.
With a bang, the intruder will be reduced to ashes.
And now, Ning Ran plans to go to the forest alone and seek answers in the forest. He went to the edge of the forest and chose a towering tree, intending to chop some wood for the barbecue. As he stood under the tree chopping branches, the breeze through the forest immediately became dry and more turbulent. A bright white flame appeared in the wind silk, transforming into a flaming horse in front of Ning Ran.
As legend has it, the head of the flame, the body of the horse, even if there are no eyes in the flames, Ning Ran can still feel the gaze of the other party, and the cold sweat that keeps breaking out behind his back.
Play big.
Zhong Lijie opened his long and powerful four hooves and walked towards Ning Ran, his muscular muscles were full of beauty, shining under the reflection of the firelight, and the flame burning on his neck illuminated the shadows in the forest, making him look extremely holy and spiritual.
Ning Ran couldn't help but sigh that this demigod was the most horse, and in a trance, Zhong Lijie's flame head had already hit Ning Ran's body with graceful steps, and the latter couldn't even detect the temperature of a trace of flames.
When Ning Ran came back to his senses and wanted to flee quickly, his body did not obey the call at all, and his mind began to swell, and in his drowsiness, he saw that the surrounding forest began to twist and burn, turning into a sea of fire.
Isn't it forbidden to destroy forests, only the state officials are allowed to set fires? Ning Ran didn't know which tendon he pulled at this time, and squeezed a few words out of his mouth: "You, arson." β
Ning Ran vaguely heard a crackling and burning voice from the flames: "Nosy." β
The next moment, his body gradually became hot and swollen, as if something was going to prop up his body, and Ning Ran only felt that he was like a grilled fish now.
Zhong Lijie suddenly discovered the fire bead in Ning Ran's body, he was so familiar that he couldn't be more familiar! For millions of years, Zhong Lijie had been waiting for this moment, he had accompanied the human race through endless years, just waiting for the fire god's chess piece to fall.
Ning Ran's heart was beating wildly, and his strong desire to survive made him take a deep breath in an attempt to control his flames to attack the legendary creatures in front of him. A fiery snake slipped from Ning Ran's body, stumbled on the ground and grew bigger and bigger, writhing and pounced on Zhong Lijie.
It didn't work.
Ning Ran hung quietly in the air, and his heart gradually became peaceful from beating wildly.
Zhong Lijie withdrew the flame that wrapped Ning Ran, and from the flame came a language that did not belong to the human race, ethereal and clear, if Ning Ran could hear it, he would definitely feel very familiar, because it was the whisper of the guard statue in the temple. He stood respectfully in front of Ning Ran, and a trace of white flame floated out and burrowed into Ning Ran's forehead.
The flame imprinted on his brow, turning into a flame-like totem before vanishing. Zhong Lijie slowly knelt down and saluted, and then dissipated with the wind, and the vague fire in Ning Ran's eyes also changed back to the lush forest.
The fire beads in his body became brighter and brighter, the mysterious characters reappeared, and the enchantment of the entire floating island also changed slightly, and the energy on the surface became even darker.
Ning Ran slowly landed on the ground, and he suddenly felt that his whole body was full of strength, and the mark on his forehead emitted a soft white light, flickering in the shadows of the trees. Ning Ran curiously stretched out his finger and touched the imprint, and the white light turned into a small horse in his mind, shaking his body.
It should be Zhong Lijie who made a ghost, Ning Ran looked into the distance, he decided to go deep into this eastern forest, find the demigod Zhong Lijie, and find the secret that belongs to him.
Uncle Ai only heard about this three hours later, he roughly calculated the time, and remorsefully rushed into the temple again and knelt in front of the high priest to ask for help, and the high priest heard about this and hurriedly summoned Zhu Yan.
The high priest has three disciples, and the youngest Zhu Yan is the high priest's protΓ©gΓ©. Zhu Yan had just turned twenty-four, but he had learned most of the skills of the high priest, and he was praised the most, he hurried to the temple when he heard the news, and he didn't have time to change out of his ordinary clothes, so he bowed his head when he saw the patriarch and the high priest.
On the floating island, not only the fire god festival is held, but the demigod is also sacrificed after the fire god festival, so the token of the demigod is preserved. After the high priest told him about the cause and effect, he asked him to quickly go to the Eastern Forest to find Ning Ran, and stuffed a crimson token into Zhu Yan's hand.
Zhu Yan received the order and walked out of the temple to the eastern district.
Zhu Yan thought that it would be too cumbersome to find people in this huge forest, but after walking a few steps, he met a young man in the forest, who was Ning Ran, who had red hair. When the two of them saw each other, you look at me and I looked at you, Ning Ran felt that the scene was extremely embarrassing, because he was lost in the forest and walked in place for nearly an hour.
Ning Ran was the first to spit out a few words: "Have you eaten it?" β
The latter bowed slightly: "Lord Ning Ran, please follow me back to the temple." β
"I don't want to see those old men, unless you can beat me, but then again, do you dare to do anything in this forest?" Ning Ran glanced at him.
Looking around at this beautiful forest, Zhu Yan couldn't help but be a little intoxicated: "Naturally, you don't dare, you see that this place is so vibrant." β
Ning Ran saw the other party's appearance, his fist was covered with crimson flames, and his face was expressionless: "I dare!"
Zhu Yan immediately became nervous, what kind of drudgery is this!
"Don't!" Zhu Yan had no time to stop the impulsive hairy boy, and panicked and touched the token hanging on his waist. Ning Ran knocked down a tree with a punch and pointed at the other party: "Don't come here, if you follow me again, the end will be like this tree." β
Zhu Yan looked around nervously with the token in his arms, if he angered that demigod, even the ten patriarchs would not be able to stop it! He immediately noticed that the wind in the forest had become strange.
Zhong Lijie couldn't figure it out, he couldn't figure it out in a double sense, what was this red-haired kid going to do in the forest with a bad stomach. Ning Ran didn't wait for him to condense his body, and recommended to Zhu Yanchi: "Introduction, this is Zhong Lijie." β
Zhu Yan's eyes widened, and the token also fell to the ground, this is a demigod, and in a panic, he quickly knelt on the ground, trembling and picking up the token to ask for forgiveness.
Zhong Lijie didn't seem to notice his existence, and hung quietly in the air.
Ancestor, please bless me, Zhu Yan doesn't know what he should do now, and he is even careful to breathe.
"Get up. β
