Volume VII, Chapter 145
Wherever the "Jiangqi" travels, there will be living beings being conceived, but the process of conception is not complete, and the living beings will always disappear in the final stage. Similar to "Chang Mushroom", "Jiang Qi" also seems to be pregnant with all kinds of creatures in the world, and the all-encompassing places like the Four Beast Domains contain less than one ten-thousandth of the creatures under "Jiang Qi".
Fang Tianmu found the clue, the creatures bred by "Jiang Qi" are not perfect, at least in the era of the rules of the present world, many of them do not meet the conditions for it to survive at all, and most of the creatures are incomplete, the figure that flashes in it is not like the current people, it is more like a person in the process of evolution, it is exploring - the creator is exploring, what kind of creatures can live, on this basis, as many types as possible, beasts and humans seem to be the two with the most bases, Could it be that the creatures of all ages are differentiated from these two types?
Everything is just speculation, the era of human civilization is the earliest era that Fang Tianmu has come into contact with so far, and the energy of the Li Zhi Realm is earlier than the Penglai Realm, is this the earliest legendary "Six Realms Era"? (It was first proposed by Sword Immortal Ge Yuan)
"Xiao Jiang" Xue Zhongqiao asked, "You said that Xiao Bai met you here?" How did you get here? ”
Xiao Jiang replied: "I was originally from here, Xiao Bai is..... He said that he had a dream and came here. ”
Xiao Jiang took everyone and got on the "windmill" that went back, jumped down between the "Chang Mushroom" and the "Dan Cheng", and walked to the depths. The road had no head or end, and when the three of them stepped on, they were completely unaware of the time when the scenery around them appeared, it was like a tall forest growing on the hillside, the trees were as tall and thin as bamboo, but with old bark and dense emerald green foliage, but the sky kept falling autumn yellow like knives from nowhere.
Xue Zhongqiao stretched out his hand and caught a yellow leaf, but of course it was not a leaf, it hit her palm and bloomed like an iron flower into a spark.
After walking for nearly half an hour, the scene around him still did not change, Fang Tianmu couldn't help but stop, knowing that this was not an illusion, he wanted to fly to a high place, but was stopped by Xiao Jiang, and said: "The road here can't be easily changed, if you want to go, you can walk, if you want to fly, you will keep flying, and if you fly, you won't find us." ”
"Oh" Fang Tianmu dispelled his thoughts, and continued to follow Xiao Jiang for a stick of incense, and finally, they arrived at their destination.
Still in the woods on the hillside, a stove made of loess waits quietly, only two feet high and four feet wide, no bigger than a chair, and in it is piled up with charcoal that has been burned for an unknown number of years.
Zhou Xiqin asked, "Xiao Jiang, this is where you and Xiaobai cooked rice at the beginning?" ”
Unexpectedly, Xiao Jiang said: "No, before Xiaobai and I appeared, there was this thing here, and the first time I saw Xiaobai, it was by this fire." ”
Fang Tianmu asked, "Why are you from here?" ”
Xiao Jiang was stunned for a moment, and recalled: "I am from here, Xiaobai told me, the first person I saw when I opened my eyes was Xiaobai, right next to this fire." ”
Fang Tianmu looked at the bottom of the stove thoughtfully, suddenly realized something, immediately turned around and ran under a tree, slashed out, grabbed a piece of wood and came to the bottom of the stove. He noticed that there were still a considerable number of "energy knots" active in the charcoal that had been stored for an unknown number of years, and gently placed the wood on the side of the charcoal, and sure enough, it didn't take long for the "energy knots" in the charcoal to affect the energy in the wood blocks, and the form of the "energy knots" was transmitted, and the way it was displayed was "flames".
The wood block ignited, it was not an ordinary flame, Fang Tianmu had never seen such an "energy knot", it was changing, constantly changing, so the flame was also changing, becoming like fire and not fire, like thunder fire, like wind fire, like living beings like fire, too strange, this is not evolution, this is like screening. The color of the flames also changed from burnt yellow to blood red, to deep blue and ice white, which was one of the nine fires in the world.
Fang Tianmu grabbed the firewood and threw it out towards the woods, in an instant, the woods were ignited, and there was a raging flame in a breath, everyone didn't feel the heat, and they didn't feel the choking, the woods were burning, but it was not in the real sense, or in the human sense, it seemed to be a layer of "magic" covering the leaves, that technique seemed to be a flame, or it was the original flame, after a while, everyone finally felt the heat, there were dozens of different forms of "energy knots" became flames, and the existing nine fires in the world in the regular era were among them.
Fang Tianmu didn't react at this time, and he would definitely regret it in the future, because if he took this opportunity to seize the "energy knot" of the first three fires in the world and bring it back to the world, it would be very useful.
The ground froze, Fang Tianmu sensed a huge battle intent, there was a kind of fire in this forest, it continued to break out with the will to fight, it was provoking and declaring war, and in an instant, dozens of other kinds of fires were extinguished, only the other thirteen kinds of flames were still burning, and these fourteen kinds of flames all had temperature, very similar to the flames that existed in the world.
Fang Tianmu whispered, "In addition to the nine fires in the world, there are other forms of flames. He realized that it should not be himself who accompanied Xiao Jiang this time, but Mu Ziyun, if Mu Ziyun was here, it would be an unimaginable creation.
He tried his best to memorize the "energy knots" of different flames, but before he could finish the first one, the flames disappeared, and when he turned around, there was a wood that was about to burn out at the bottom of the stove, and Xiao Jiang picked up another piece and put it in, she was looking at the flames in a trance.
Zhou Xiqin and Xue Zhongqiao didn't come back from the sea of fire just now, both of them were shocked into a cold sweat, and then looked at the woods, lush and green, and the "autumn leaves" were falling, as if nothing had happened.
Fang Tianmu sat down beside Xiao Jiang and asked, "Xiao Jiang, you are not a human, what are you." ”
Xiao Jiang sat quietly and never said a word again, no matter who accosted her, there was no response. The three of them looked at each other, and then sat down next to them, waiting for several hours.
The two women couldn't wait any longer, and told Fang Tianmu that they wanted to take a "windmill" again to see the scenery here, Fang Tianmu hesitated for a moment, nodded, and after some advice, Zhou Xiqin and Xue Zhongqiao walked back along the way they came.
Sitting beside Xiao Jiang, his heart has been thinking about the two of them, always ensuring that the energy of the two of them is within his own perception range, and I don't know how long it took, the sky here suddenly became dark, and the speed was extremely fast, Fang Tianmu immediately stood up, and at this time, a ball of fire ignited at the bottom of the stove.
The charcoal, which had been left for an unknown number of years, gave birth to a flame again.
Fang Tianmu still wanted to find the two of them, but Xiao Jiang suddenly sighed and said quietly: "Xiaobai and I met at this time, and the first thing I saw was his face. ”
After Fang Tianmu hesitated, he sat down, and after seven or eight breaths, Xiao Jiang said again: "I know that Xiaobai is dead, but I can't remember how he died, it's so strange, there are some happy memories in my mind, and even when he died, I was obviously sad, but because I didn't remember, I couldn't be sad, as if I had forgotten a lot of things, I came back here, not to find him here, but to remember myself, when I forgot him." ”
Fang Tianmu realized that the simple girl in front of her may not be as deeply involved in the world as she thought, and she had also grown up in happy memories.
"That...."Fang Tianmu asked, "When did you forget him?" ”
Xiao Jiang turned his head, looked at Fang Tianmu, and said, "On the shore of Changting Lake, the place of his death. ”
Fang Tianmu was very surprised, Xiao Jiang smiled and said: "Fool, the time with Xiao Bai, no matter what the circumstances, whether he suffers or suffers, he is happy, only when he disappears and dies, I will lose my happiness, what I forget is just his memory after he died or disappeared in the land of the Shen clan." ”
"Eh" Fang Tianmu realized that he had been deceived by the simple appearance of this little girl, this guy actually remembered everything! But why is she mortal?
"That.... Your last memory is...."
Xiao Jiang looked at the flames with a cold face, and said, "A big fire has burned in the clan land, and they rushed over to kill us, killing us for no reason. ”
Fang Tianmu cautiously whispered, "It's Li Buzhuo." ”
"Brother No, he.... He is gone, I don't know where he went, fortunately he was not there at the time, but how did Xiaobai die later? Why I don't remember anything. ”
Fang Tianmu sighed, Xiao Jiang forgot who had harmed them, and at this time, that question popped up in his mind again, and he asked, "Xiao Jiang, how was the fire in the forbidden land extinguished a thousand years ago. ”
"A thousand years ago?"
"The matter between you and Chen Xubai is a thousand years ago, don't worry about these for now, tell me how the fire in your memory was extinguished!"
"Fire? Oh..."Xiaobai did not forget, and said: "Only a dozen houses were burned, but there were no casualties, and they were quickly extinguished." ”
"Huh?" Fang Tianmu didn't understand and asked her what she meant.
Xiao Jiang didn't understand what Fang Tianmu wanted to ask, Fang Tianmu explained, in a place like the forbidden land, once an open flame appeared, it would be combined with the fire technique in a large number of forbidden places, and the Shen clan back then saved the fire for three hours, and they all practiced fire art, so you can imagine how difficult that fire was to be extinguished.
Xiao Jiang was stunned and said, "How can there be a forbidden place, people of the Shen clan, where can they practice fire?" ”
Fang Tianmu was stunned, and immediately confirmed and asked, "Doesn't the Shen clan practice fire arts?" ”
Xiao Jiang shook his head and said: "There are many ways for them to cultivate, but they are all lagging behind because they have been hiding from the world for a long time, but there are also masters, more than a dozen, but they are not related to fire." ”
Fang Tianmu frowned, and even grabbed his head, Xiao Jiang said faintly: "Strange, why is it a thousand years, it seems that I was just besieged and killed with Xiaobai on the shore of Changting Lake yesterday, I said, no wonder the houses there have changed, and the people have changed, I don't dare to admit it, and I have practiced fire art all of a sudden, and I also practiced Xiao Bai's fire art, why is it a thousand years..."
"What did you say!" Fang Tianmu grabbed Xiao Jiang's shoulder and asked, "Whose fire technique is it that you are cultivating?" ”
"Eh" Xiao Jiang painfully pushed away Fang Tianmu's hand, rubbed his shoulder, and said: "It's Xiaobai's fire technique, that kind of flame, only Xiaobai can use it, he uses it very well, hehe, I also use it very well." ”
Fang Tianmu sat quietly beside the stove, the light of the fire reflected on him, his shadow was stretched slender, he was terrifyingly quiet, like an ice sculpture, like a stone...
