Chapter 3: Night of the Soul
Yuanyang Zilin Potian floated quietly in the sky above Shishanbao Village, a dark robe without wind under the encouragement of spiritual power, under the purple and gold crown of the beam, his face was white and beardless, and he was like a full moon. With short eyebrows, a round nose, small eyes, and a wide mouth, he looks like a kind middle-aged rich man.
His eyes swept coldly over the entire Stone Mountain Fort Village, and in his divine sense, more than 500 mortals were just a small spot of light that shimmered brightly.
Waving his hand and popping out the central formation flag of the Qingyun Mystery Array, Lin Potian lightly recited the magic trick,
"Fixed"
Immediately, the blue mist that covered the sky and the moon swept lightly and enveloped the entire Shishanbao Village.
Lin Potian looked up at the sky, the moon would be hanging in the middle, and it would be the intersection of yin and yang. As soon as the divine sense probed the five-colored green lotus pendant on his waist, a black light immediately shot out and ran away to the moon. Lin Potian raised his right hand, and his five fingers bluffed at the black light, and after the black light disappeared out of thin air, it had fallen into Lin Potian's palm, revealing a small cyan banner with a length of an inch.
The divine sense probed the five-colored green lotus pendant on his waist again, and he was already holding a low-grade spirit stone in his left palm, Lin Potian used his spiritual power to pinch it lightly, and the spirit stone in his palm immediately turned into a pile of powder. Between breaths, a condensed aura of heaven and earth entered the Purple Mansion along the Sanyang Sutra, and the pale golden primordial infant who closed his eyes and meditated moved slightly.
A strong energy came out of the body, and the small cyan banner in the palm of his hand rose against the storm, and in the blink of an eye, it became a large cyan banner that was a foot high.
This treasure-level green lotus treasure flag, lotus dome, pure gold as a rod, and the green and secluded banner is refined from the heart of the Bodhi wood, which can calm the soul and expel the dead.
The banner has absorbed more than a thousand mortal souls, these mortal souls three souls are complete, the seven spirits have been dispersed, under the detection of Lin Potian's divine sense, more than a thousand small light clusters emitting a glimmer of light are faintly floating in a small piece of deep void.
After collecting these mortal souls under his feet, Zhongzhou is a hundred years of peace. Under the righteousness, there is no room for mercy.
Lin Potian's eyes flashed fiercely, he looked at Ouyang Jing who was looking up at the banner at his feet, slightly let go of his restrained power, and used the sound transmission technique to drink softly at Ouyang Jing,
"Arson"
Lin Potian's soft cry was like a thunderclap in the nine heavens, and the fried Ouyang Jinghua's face changed color, and after some churning spiritual power in his body ran in the dantian ding furnace, his face turned slightly pale, and under the power of the Yuan Infant Monk, she couldn't tolerate any other thoughts, and hurriedly used her spiritual power to stimulate the medium-grade fire spirit rune that she had been holding in her hand.
A faint aura suddenly appeared, and a fireball the size of half a fist appeared out of thin air on Ouyang Jing's palm, and in the sound of "boom" and "boom", a fiery red flame rose.
Ouyang Jing's spiritual power was released, and with a flick of his fingers, the fireball drew a dazzling trajectory in the air, and after passing through the blue mist in front of him, he pounced on the nearest wooden house that looked more and more comfortable in the moonlight.
After the fireball was shot, Ouyang Jing's face was calm, and seeing that the first flame engulfed the entire wooden wall of the cabin in an instant, Ouyang Jing grabbed the trembling butler Liu, and leaned back lightly, fluttering away from the sea of fire that would rise in front of him.
Lin Potian in mid-air slightly urged the pale golden primordial infant in the purple mansion, and under the operation of spiritual power, the Qinglian Treasure Banner pulled by the divine sense came out of his hand, like a flying cyan dragon, hovering over Shishanbao Village, and on the trajectory that flew by, the space began to slowly twist and turn, and finally formed a black and dull void, and the Blue Lotus Treasure Banner was fixed in the void.
Lin Potian's eyes were not cold, there was no ruthlessness, he just looked at the small mountain village under his feet, watching the rising flames completely engulf the first cabin, and in a blink of an eye, a thick wooden courtyard wall was burned, and the village finally lit up with the first yellow light.
After years of wind and sun, the skin of the wood is dry and rises out of small cracks, the rising flame by the dry and refreshing cool breeze, a large piece of licking through these dry wood, making a "crackling" and "crackling" dry sound, the first dog howling at the flames, at first it sounded just a little anxious, when more and more people's oil lamps were lit, the whole village of large and small earth dogs, has roared out a burst of harsh mania.
Ye Bufan, who had just been lying down for a long time, was awakened by the sound of a dog barking in a half-dream, and got out of bed barefoot.
Hurriedly opened the bolted door, Ye Bufan saw that the sky at the east end of the village was roasted red by the rising flames, and the barking of dogs sounded very miserable, mixed with the hoarse shouts of men and women.
The air inhaled into the throat is no longer cold, but already has a dry and burning smoke that makes people panic and shortness of breath.
The wooden houses in the village are all next to each other, whose yard is piled up with firewood and grass accumulated for many years to make a fire for cooking, which family is careful to pay attention to the stove fire and candles on weekdays, for fear that one will accidentally burn the whole village to the ground, but I didn't expect to take precautions, after all, there is such a day.
As long as the people are okay, the land is still this land, and there are so many woods in the forest that people can't cut them down for several lifetimes, and the house is burned down, so they can build it again.
Look at the burning half of the sky, it is impossible to save this fire, but fortunately, it will take some time for the fire to burn from the east end of the village to the place where it is located.
With a plan in his heart, Ye Bufan immediately closed the door again, felt that the back of the shirt was tight, and when he looked back and saw his wife's hair exuding a panicked face, Ye Bufan rubbed his wife's emaciated shoulders and said, "You go and take care of Tian'er, don't let him be scared." ”
Seeing the man's peaceful appearance, Lin Zhi's heart hanging in the air fell to the ground again, trotted into the inner hut, and grabbed his son Ye Tian, who had already gotten up from the bed in a daze.
Ye Bufan lit the oil lamp on the table, copied it to the west corner of the big room outside, and moved the clay rice jar that had been in this place all the year round.
The poorer you are, the more you will be afraid of people's worries. Lifting the thick wooden plank with the rice jar on the ground, the thick round wood underneath had been cut out of a long wooden hole, and the valuable things in the house were wrapped in oilcloth and placed in the wooden hole.
12 finger-length white spirit stones emitted a warm light, 3 pieces of fiery red blood chalcedony, and 50 taels of scattered silver cakes were all wrapped in a small cloth bag. Ye Bufan simply wrapped the cloth tightly with a moisture-proof oilcloth, lifted the short coat, and tied the oilcloth tightly around his waist.
Picking up the oil lamp, I noticed that there was still a copy of "Three Qing Jue" lying in the wooden cave, and a short sword with a ruler length lying horizontally on the thin booklet.
The blade of this short sword was covered with rusty patina, the blade was slender, but the hilt was unusually short, and it could only be held with three fingers.
Ye Bufan thought for a while before remembering how there could be such a strange short sword in the wooden cave, this is something that his son didn't know where to dig it out when he was 6 years old, and he was really happy to swing and dance for a few days, but the soldiers were fierce, Ye Bufan was afraid of hurting the child. I wanted to throw it away, but my son was crying miserably at the time, so he could only put it in the wooden hole in front of him. After so many years of being covered with tarpaulin, I have long forgotten the existence of this thing.
Ye Bufan picked up the short sword and checked it, although the weight was a little light, it was quite easy to arrive. Looking at the green and faint tip of the sword, he stretched out his fingertips and tried it, and after a small needle-like sting, the tip of the sword was a little scarlet the size of a grain of rice.
Unexpectedly, the short sword rusted like this, the tip of the sword was still so sharp, there were already people panicking outside, and the village was not full of loyal and honest people, Ye Bufan shook off the blood beads oozing from his fingers, and pinched the hilt of the short sword and inserted it into the oilcloth around his waist.
What is left in the house is some pots and pots, pots and jars, the whole family's bedding in 2 old wooden boxes, a few changes of clothes, and they will be burned when they are burned, Ye Bufan doesn't even have the idea of feeling distressed.
Lin Zhi had already dressed Ye Tian, a coarse sweat towel hastily tied up his scattered hair, hugged his son's thin body tightly, and kept chanting, "Don't be afraid, Tian'er."
Ye Bufan looked at his mother and the two, and his heart felt like he had been stabbed by something. Reaching out and hugging his son's thin body tightly to his chest, he grabbed his wife's slender palm, raised his foot and kicked open the hidden wooden door, and rushed out of the house with his wife and children.
The burning fire has engulfed most of the village like a fire dragon, the grass stalks on the ground illuminated by the red fire are all delicate, the barking of dogs in the village has become sparse, and the strange thing is that Ye Bufan can't hear a single shout of men and women.
Ye Bufan and his wife and son have not yet walked out of their yard, and the door of Erzhuang's house next door "creaks" and opened suddenly, across the courtyard wall that is half a person high, Ye Bufan saw Erzhuang's shiny beads of sweat pulling Dani and Erni out, and after running two steps with the two children, he suddenly froze and turned his head to his house, stomping his feet and shouting, "The dead mother-in-law who has suffered a thousand knives, it is important to escape, or what is important." ”
The tall and chubby body of the second strong daughter-in-law came out with the voice, carrying two big burdens one by one, and the black and fat round face was stained with oil.
I didn't hear a shout from the villagers for a while, although he wanted to run for his life, hearing the familiar voice of the male duck of Er Zhuang, Ye Bufan still let out a sigh of relief for no reason. He slammed into the closed courtyard door sideways, wanting to say hello Er Zhuang and ran towards the back of the village with him, but saw that the ground in front of him was suddenly dark and red.
Ye Bufan looked up at the sky, and a tall banner was hovering in the sky above his head.
I didn't have time to take a closer look, and the strange dark sky around the big banner began to twist strangely like a living thing, and the tall big banner also began to rotate, but after turning, the blue light on the banner exploded.
Ye Bufan only blinked sharply, and between his eyebrows, a bright light was pulled out by Qingguang.
