Chapter 8: The Lie Yang Clan
Bu Zheng and the little monkey returned to the hidden camp and were warmly greeted by the villagers. Especially after he handed a string of sugar gourds to Xiaoxia, the happy little girl climbed on his shoulder and kissed him on the cheek.
The old patriarch started a fire to cook the medicine, and his slow movements made his hands red from the flames, but he was not tired of it, and a rare smile appeared on his face.
The women refused to let go of the thick and warm new clothes, the tattered clothes on their bodies these days really did not play a role in keeping warm, and their bodies were blue and purple in the cold spring of the forest.
The little monkey danced to the three or two children about the lively scenery of Jinyang City, and the eyes of the envious children were red.
The villagers sat around the fire, eating the food brought back by Bu Zheng, all with happy smiles on their faces. Xiao Xia'er put on beautiful new clothes and ran around everyone in circles, like a beautiful elf.
Bu Zheng sat on the side, and saw the old patriarch walking towards him with a bowl of hot soup, his hands trembled, and half of the bowl of soup had been spilled in Bu Zheng's hand. He took a sip of the soup, smiled at the rare happiness of this scene, and suddenly felt that all that he had done was worth it.
When night fell, Bu Zheng sat at the mouth of the cave with Xiaoxia in his arms and looked up at the bright moon in the sky, and the little girl who was crazy and tired had already fallen asleep.
Bu Zheng's hand stroked the little girl's round face, and suddenly found that her body temperature was very high, and she was even a little hot.
"Fever?" Bu Zheng thought he was feeling wrong, and put his hand on her forehead, it was indeed hot.
"It's hot, isn't it? The old man's voice came, and the old patriarch came behind Bu Zheng at some point.
Bu Zheng nodded, looking a little nervous, if such a young child has a high fever and does not go away, he may damage his body.
The old patriarch sat beside him unhurriedly, and said with a smile: "Don't panic, this is normal, there is such a day every ten years, the body of the villagers in our village will become abnormally hot, and we call this day a hot day." On this sunset, the mountains will be wonderful. ”
"How could something so strange happen?"
"If you go back to the roots, it's a long story. The old patriarch was in a trance, and his gaze became extremely distant, as if he had traveled through a long river of history.
"There has always been a legend in our village that a long time ago, this Sunset Mountain Range was inhabited by the Lieyang clan who were covered in blazing heat, and where the glorious sky shone, all the tribes surrendered.
Later, a demonic disaster occurred in Xuanzhou, and Lieyang and the demon world launched a protracted war, the sky and the earth cracked, the rivers and seas overturned, and the mountains and rivers were blood-red!
The two sides suffered heavy losses in this battle, the demons retreated to the demon realm, and the Lieyang clan disappeared from the world. There have always been rumors in the clan that we are the descendants of the original Lieyang tribe, although I don't know if it's true or not, but after so many years, the body of the people in the village is indeed different from ordinary people. ”
Bu Zheng touched the old patriarch's body, he should have been deficient in qi and blood, and the old man who was covered in dampness and cold was also slightly hot at the moment. He thought of the soul seal, and thought of the ancient character that looked like a Yang character.
The coveted treasures, the mysterious soul prints, the scorching physique, and all kinds of strange phenomena made Bu Zheng feel that maybe the legend may not be fake.
At this time, the old patriarch suddenly widened his eyes and pointed to a towering mountain peak in the distance, and shouted, "Look, a strange scene has appeared." ”
I saw that on the top of the mountain, someone seemed to have lit a cluster of flames, and from a distance, there was a faint light flickering, and the light was uncertain.
In a few moments, the fire grew bigger and bigger, and the light became more and more intense. If it was a bean spark just now, the light at this time was like a bright moon, shining all over the bright light, dyeing the nearby mountains and forests with a layer of cold brilliance.
Bu Zheng's mouth opened wide in surprise, watching the light gradually burst into flames, and the color changed from the initial white to a golden yellow that seemed to contain great energy.
The ball of light was like a balloon that blew bigger and bigger, and in a short time the dark night was as bright as day.
The whole forest is like the rising sun, bathed in a brilliant golden light. The light cluster at the top of the peak is like a brilliant sun at this moment, and the warm light is covered by everything, overshadowing the bright moon in the sky.
On this night, the golden sun rose in the Sunset Mountains, and the night turned into day.
This did not last long, as the scorching sun on the top of the mountain seemed to swell to the extreme, exploding with a red light splashing in all directions, and more heat flowing down the mountain like magma during a volcanic eruption.
When everything calmed down and the sky was once again covered in darkness. Bu Zheng came back to his senses, and before he could sigh at the magnificence of the wonder, he found that the jade pendant in his arms with the soul marks of the villagers wanted to break through his clothes and fly into the distance as if he had been summoned.
Bu Zheng took it out, and the ancient characters on the jade pendant exuded golden light, dazzling in the night.
"This is the unique soul mark of our villagers. The old patriarch recognized it at a glance, he had seen a lot of this mark, but he had never seen such a golden light, before contacting Bu Zheng to collect the corpses of the clansmen, the old patriarch knew everything.
"He wanted to fly away. Bu Zheng held the jade pendant tightly, and he felt that the jade pendant was attracted by a powerful force, which was so great that it faintly meant to take him away.
"According to the old man's experience, he wants to return to the strange mountain of Fangcai, the people in the village died, and the soul marks after cremation flew in that direction. It is rumored that Tianyang is buried in that mountain, which is the destination of every Lieyang people's life. ”
Hearing this, Bu Zheng suddenly became interested, the wonders of the sacred mountain, the great war, this eternal buried history, or with the footsteps of this soul print, a glimpse of the true face of history.
"Old patriarch, I want to go to Qishan to have a look, maybe I can find your original home, you just wait here for me to come back. ”
After speaking, he didn't wait for the old man to say the words that blocked him. Bu Zheng withdrew the power of controlling the jade pendant in his hand, and let it fly towards the depths of the mountain range with him, leaving only the old patriarch to shout with concern: "Be careful!"
The hot jade pendant was like a child who had been away from home for many years, eager to return to the place where it was born, and Bu Zheng was carried by it as fast as it flew over the mountains, across the valleys, through the jungle, towards the mountain where the strange scene had just happened. The wind was whistling in his ears, and the scenery was stretched into a phantom in his eyes, Bu Zheng felt extremely happy, and he didn't know that at the same time as he flew away, several figures in the dark dense forest who couldn't see their faces also chased after him at the same time.
It's just that they only chased one hill before they were stopped by an invisible barrier.
"It's the formation prohibition that closes this space. ”
"But why did that kid get in?"
"It may have something to do with the glowing thing in his hand, go back to the Lord Hunt, the treasure of Lieyang can't be a preemptive. ”
"Hmm. ”
