Chapter Ninety-Two: Bone Food
…………
Weaving fire.
Outside the town's secluded part of the Grand Canyon.
Dozens of miles to the east, dozens of cavalry dressed in black and iron armor are coming quickly, there is no fixed section of the road in the deep mountains, whenever the cavalry is about to lose their way, the leading black-robed man will take a look at the flashes in the sky in the distance, in order to confirm the direction.
After a few moments, the whole cavalry finally reached the outskirts of the canyon, and in front of them there was a horizontal line of earth fire burning in front of them.
"Strangers are not welcome in Weaving Fire!"
Huo Tu Xin stood outside the canyon, holding his fire fangs and waving his hand to release the fire energy in it, looking at the many masked black-armored cavalry with a cold face.
"Weaving fire? Hehe. ”
The leader of the cavalry in front chuckled, and then slowly took off his mask, revealing a fleshy face covered with fat bumps, the whites of his eyes were left, and the fleshy part of his forehead was inlaid with a purple metal object that looked like a sinuous snake.
"This is Earthfire? It seems that the rumors are true, you are the fireweaver? The cavalry leader looked at the earth fire in front of him, his strange fleshy face squeezed slightly, and the whites of his eyes were lowered to reveal dark and strange eyeballs.
The Fire Weavers have always been in the deep mountains, shouldering the responsibility of suppressing the earth fire, and rarely have any contact with the outside world, and the outside world's understanding of the earth fire is basically recorded in books.
After all, no one has taken their brains out of the mountains to look for this kind of useless chicken rib item that can not be taken away except for burning themselves.
"I know this is earth fire, why don't you retreat quickly?!"
Huo Tu Xin threatened again, the fire teeth in his hand turned slightly, and the fire in front of him was a little bigger.
The cavalry leader didn't care about the fire in front of him, his eyes moved to look at the weapon in Huo Tu Xin's hand, and said, "You are the fire fang, right?" I heard that the fireweaver made your fire fangs to absorb and release earth fire, which is a good tool for extinguishing fire, and can also be used for self-defense. ”
As he spoke, he suddenly paused, and his right hand was raised slightly, "But I don't like to use halberds, I prefer to use knives." ”
A purple glow of vertiginity bloomed from the purple metal object on the cavalry leader's forehead.
"What do I care about you......" Before Huo Tu Xin finished speaking, he felt that his right hand holding the fire tooth was uncontrollable, and he threw the fire tooth on the ground with a brush of his arm, and his body was frozen in place, unable to move.
The raging earth fire in front of the cavalry lost the continuous input of fire energy in the fire teeth, and immediately became like a rootless fire, and the fire gradually weakened.
The scorching breath suddenly diminished weakness.
The leading cavalry commander still did not give up, and said, "The first time I came to weave fire, I didn't bring any gifts, it was indeed a bit rude, since this is the case,"
"Let's use you as a greeting gift!"
As the words fell, Huo Tu Xin's arm moved uncontrollably, as if an invisible force controlled the movement of his arm, reached out and pulled out the knife at his waist, and then held the knife in front of his neck.
"Who the hell are you?"
Fire Tu Xin's eyes cracked, his forehead covered with sweat, and he struggled with the force that controlled his body.
The cavalry leader didn't answer, but looked at Huo Tu Xin with interest, and every time he was about to regain control and take the dagger away from his neck, the purple metal object on his forehead glowed again, and the control on Huo Tu Xin's body became stronger and stronger.
The whole person is becoming more and more uncomfortable.
Seeing that Huo Tu Xin couldn't hold on, and when he slashed his neck with his dagger, a female voice suddenly came from in the canyon:
"Don't play anymore, he's still useful!"
Out of the shadow of the canyon came a pretty woman in a purple tights and black leather armor.
"What's the use?"
The cavalry leader frowned slightly, but the power in his hand was maintained to a level that was neither up nor down, so that Huo Tu Xin could neither get out of control, nor would there be no room for struggle at all.
"He's probably the closest relative we're looking for." The woman in black walked up to Huo Tu Xin and reached out to remove the sharp dagger that he had held across her neck.
“…… There is no one else in the fire who can threaten Him? The cavalry commander was slightly silent, and then asked again.
"I've only just arrived, if you are willing to try, you can kill him yourself, but if the mission fails, you will bear the consequences on the Hou Ye's side."
The woman in black plunged the dagger into the scabbard at his waist, and then looked at the commander on the horse and said with a smile.
“……”
The cavalry commander's face was ugly, and he squinted his eyes and looked at the woman in front of him dangerously, and only waved his hand for a long time, "Go weave fire!" ”
At the same time, Huo Tu Xin's body was once again out of control, and he freely took the initiative to walk in front of the team to lead the way for the cavalry.
The cavalry quickly advanced into the gorge, and the clattering hooves of horses faded away.
The dust cleared.
The woman in black who stayed in place squinted slightly, and said in a low voice after being silent for a while: "I don't know if the kindness of saving once is enough~"
……
……
Weaving fire,
Linglong home.
Linglong stood at the door carefully and watched for a while, and after making sure that the patriarch and Uncle Chifang had gone to other houses, she was slightly relieved, and then bolted the door carefully, and then walked upstairs.
"Hoo ~~~~~"
“…… The man is gone, it's time to get up. ”
"~Whew~...... Whew......"
“……”
Standing next to her, Linglong sighed slightly, looking at someone who was asleep, but her heart was inexplicably calm, strange thoughts flashed through her mind, and she suddenly turned slightly red.
Hurriedly calmed her mind, Lu Ming estimated that she couldn't wake up, so she began to refold the clothes she had just taken out and put them neatly.
"Strange, how do I always feel like I've done this before......"
While tidying up, Linglong secretly wondered.
"What have you done?"
A curious voice came from her ears, Linglong was slightly stunned after hearing it, and then raised her head and snorted coldly, "Didn't you just sleep?" Or are you asleep? ”
"Oh, just kidding, I'm thin-skinned and not used to that." Lu Ming smiled and touched his head, and his heart was secretly strange.
Obviously I should be panicked, or a little embarrassed scene, why is it suddenly so calm and normal, it seems that everything is as usual.
Am I such a shameless person?
“……”
"Everyone is gone, what are you still doing in my bed?"
Linglong pulled the quilt and didn't pull it out completely, so she urged.
"This ...... Well,"
Lu Ming was helpless, got out of bed, who was going to threaten someone to bed just now?
A ruthless woman.
Hum!
Lu Ming asked, "By the way, why are they coming to your house?" ”
Linglong tidied up the last quilt and said, "As for the hanging crystal in the sky, the patriarch and they were all frightened, for fear that outsiders would come to the weaving fire to do something, so they planned to let the old people and children in the clan go to the ancestral mine to avoid it first, that is, to inform me by the way." ”
"It's not a good way, your family is not in town."
Supporting his chin with one hand, Lu Ming made a contemplative gesture, and then said: "I think they are a sign of indebtedness, of course, it may also be the selflessness and noble character of your patriarch." ”
"Indebted?"
Linglong was puzzled.
"Yes, didn't I tell you in the cave before, the stranger in the Fire Weaver Clan is your illusion, the illusion when you were a child, you see that now as you grow up, the clan still accepts you more, so they will feel that they are so alienated from you in the past, including your family moving here to live, it will make them feel guilty."
"Only in this way can it be explained, you are obviously outside the town, the farthest away Patriarch and your Uncle Chifang are the first to come to your house to inform you to take refuge."
Lu Ming continued to smile and said: "Let's have a pair of eyes that are good at discovering the beauty of life, you are the party concerned, do you say that my reasoning is correct?" ”
Linglong raised her face slightly, frowned and thought about it for a while, and nodded slightly, "In this way, it seems that the patriarch and Uncle Chifang have indeed taken care of me a lot." ”
"They have always taken care of you, but your perspective is different, you have to thank me for answering your questions and opening a window for your spiritual beauty." The corners of Lu Ming's mouth were quite narcissistic.
"Cut, they're good to me, what are you doing?"
Linglong glanced at him and asked, "By the way, will there really be people from the outside world coming to Weaving Fire?" ”
The history of weaving fire has been calm for countless years, except for the turbulence of the earth fire, there seems to be no other major changes, and outsiders rarely see it, in Linglong's limited life, Lu Ming is the first outsider she has ever seen.
Moreover, he is still a king.
Although he is a little out of tune and likes to talk about it, he feels really good about Linglong, it is an indescribable feeling, like the two people who have been together for a long time have become familiar with each other's good and bad places.
Though...... This face is a little angry when you look at it.
Lu Ming squinted at Linglong, with an expression on his face that you didn't believe me, I paid by mistake, and when Linglong was about to step forward, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the flash in the sky, "When did I lie to you?" ”
"Since the hanging crystal is in the sky, then the outside world will definitely come to people, no one is so brainbroken that they release the hanging crystal and don't call people over, even if they use money as scrap iron, it's not like this."
"Since there will be outsiders entering the Weaving Fire, shall I go to the Ancestral Mine? And where did my dad go? Linglong asked, "He doesn't usually leave home for so long, just to find me." ”
"Your father... There are also outsiders. ”
Lu Ming pondered slightly, couldn't think of a reason, and asked, "Do you have a position here where you can look down and see the entire Weaving Fire Town?" ”
"If you see the entire Weaving Fire Town, there will only be the Glory Stone." Linglong quickly gave an answer, after all, she has lived in this area since she was a child, and the surrounding environment is very familiar.
"Take me now." Lu Ming said: "No matter who comes in to weave fire, we can only think of countermeasures when we see people first, and it is useless to be in a hurry." ”
"Okay, what about the patriarch?"
Linglong hasn't forgotten it, just now she promised the patriarch and Uncle Chifang to go to the ancestral mine cave later.
Lu Ming glanced at Linglong strangely, "Are you usually so obedient?" ”
Obviously, he sneaked into Yan Xiqiang alone last night, how could he be so sensible today, and he would take into account the feelings of the patriarch.
"I ...... Forget it, then ignore the patriarchs. ”
"I knew you weren't an obedient child~"
Linglong glared at Lu Ming angrily, which made the mouth of the beautiful boy honest.
A moment later, the two went downstairs,
"Why are you locking the door so tightly?"
“…… To go or not to go? ”
…………
…………
Approaching dusk,
Outside the town of Weaving Fire, dozens of black cavalry rushed towards the town, the sound of rumbling horses' hooves was deafening, and the patriarch in the center of the town stood in front of the brown drum and looked up at the sky.
There seemed to be a black cloud coming, and the oppressive aura permeated the entire Weaving Fire Town.
Around the corner, Chifang ran over quickly:
"Patriarch, food and water have been prepared, and the old man and children have also been arranged, but Linglong has suddenly disappeared, and his father Huo Tu Xin has not been found."
"This father and daughter...... Forget it, let's get over the difficulties in front of us first, and then talk about the rest. ”
The patriarch's face was slightly angry, and then he sighed and looked at the flash in the sky, "Just a few days, just get through." ”
As he was talking, there was a sudden agitation in front of him, and after a while, a clansman ran to say that Huo Tu Xin had been found, but the state was a little strange.
When the patriarch and Chifang heard the sound, they saw that Huo Tu Xin's face was pale, and he held a dagger in both hands against his chest.
The patriarch immediately scolded: "Huo Tu Xin, what are you doing here? ”
"Yikes!"
The patriarch was answered by the hoarse voice of the fire slaughter squeak, and the twisted face of excruciating pain.
"What the hell is wrong with you?" The patriarch also saw that something was wrong with Huo Tu Xin, and hurriedly said to Chi Fang next to him: "Go and take off the top of his neck." ”
"I didn't let it take it down, who would dare to move?!"
Before the red side could act, there was a buzzing sound from the corner of the street, everyone looked for prestige, the horses' hooves were far and near, and dozens of black-armored cavalry quickly rushed over, kicking up several meters of dust.
The black armor walked out of the dust area, and the cavalry commander looked at the many fireweavers and asked, "You, who is the patriarch?" ”
"I am, who the hell are you? Why do you want to hurt my people? ”
The patriarch stepped forward.
"I'm here to ask for someone for Pingjiang Hou, as long as you don't look for trouble, I'll take people away, if you don't know how to lift, then,"
The metal object on the leader's head released a purple halo again, "This will be your fate. ”
Huo Tu Xin raised his arm and was about to stab his neck, when Chi Fang next to him saw this, he swung his fire fang to knock out the dagger at once, and then the fire tooth slashed across the ground and an orange flame rose.
Seeing this, the surrounding weaving fire waved its fire teeth at the same time to release the ground fire, but as soon as his arm was halfway raised, he suddenly couldn't move anymore, and the whole person froze in place.
"What happened to your people?" The patriarch and Akakata looked at it with astonishment.
"It's just a small trick, I said it, I'm only here to find someone!"
The purple halo emitted by the metal object on the leader's head became more and more intense, and even his eyeballs turned white again, and it was also a great burden for him to control so many people at the same time.
With a wave of his hand behind him, several cavalrymen turned over and dismounted, walked over to all the Fire Weavers who had been controlled, removed all the fire fangs and piled them aside, and put ropes on some of them.
……
Mountains.
The two of them looked down, just in time to see everything.
"Who the hell is that man?"
"It's under the command of Pingjiang Hou, that person is called Bone Food, he has a record of serving in the army, and he specializes in doing dirty work for Pingjiang Hou." Rubbing his eyebrows, Lu Ming searched for the memories in his mind, "Bone Food is the best at using the art of thought, and can control any object in the air. ”
"Is there a solution?" Linglong asked.
"Yes!" Lu Ming was categorical, stretched out his finger and pointed to his forehead, and said to Linglong: "The weakness is the thing on his head, as long as he takes that thing away, he will be a waste." ”
