Chapter 1 Wildfires

"Ahem, ahem...... Whew!"

With a trembling violent cough, Xie Chen suddenly opened his eyes. At that moment, Xie Chen could even feel that the incomparably hot magma would completely engulf and swallow itself in an instant! All this was so real, the moment it fell into the magma, the flames scorched his body, and in an instant, his body and soul turned into ashes.

The vision gradually cleared, and the heartbeat that was beating sharply because of the cough gradually flattened. Here it is......

Xie Chen was stunned for a moment, the green mountains, green trees, and the noon sun were warmly sprinkled in front of him, and the sound of water was faintly murmuring, and birds and cicadas were singing. Everything in front of him was extremely unfamiliar to Xie Chen, but it felt so familiar for no reason......

"Shhh

In the blink of an eye, Xie Chen's heart pounded again, his body and legs were already scorched black at this moment! Faintly, a smell of roasted skin and flesh permeated the air and wafted into his nose.

"What's wrong with me?" Xie Chen looked at the burn marks on his body in a daze, shouldn't it, fall into the scorching magma that can melt even steel instantly, but how could there be only such a little burn?

"Brother Chen, you're not dead yet?!"

Suddenly, a somewhat shrill voice with a bit of childishness sounded from not far away. Although there was a strong sense of surprise and excitement in the voice, it was ...... Xie Chen couldn't help but feel a little deflated when he heard this, isn't this nonsense?

Immediately after, there was a rush of footsteps, and a chubby little face appeared in Xie Chen's sight.

The word fat may be a little precise. More precisely, it should be a circle. With a round head, a pair of big round eyes, two curved eyebrows, two ends downward, like two curved crescents, under the round nose, a small mouth, and thick lips turned out to be a circle. The whole face looks full of flesh, and when you see it, you have an urge to knead it hard.

"Brother Chen, are you okay? It's great! You didn't even breathe just now, I thought you, woo woo......"

The two downward brows frowned together, and the fat on the face changed with the change of expression, squeezing a pair of originally round and big eyes into a **. Two teardrops the size of soybeans, over the mountains and mountains, "fluttering" and rolling down with difficulty. Although he was crying, this face looked with an unusual sense of joy.

"Rub, Xie Tuo, why are you crying, aren't I fine......" Xie Chen endured the pain and smiled reluctantly, his head full of black lines. I don't know why, I called out the name of the young man in front of me who was crying like a mourner so naturally.

Xie Tuo, my cousin, is the only blood of the second elder of the deceased family. Ten years ago, the second elder Xie Zhiyuan and his wife were besieged and killed by dozens of howling moon wolves when they were hunting in the Demon Beast Mountain Range, and since then, Xie Tuo has been raised by his father as his own. is warm-hearted, but he can't speak, or it can be said that this fat man speaks super out of tune......

One message after another suddenly surged in Xie Chen's mind like a tide. In an instant, Xie Chen only felt a splitting headache, as if his brain was about to explode with this massive amount of information.

"Brother Chen?!What's wrong with you?Is the wound painful?It's good to know that it hurts, but if you die, you won't feel pain. Bear with me, I'll wipe your ......"

Suddenly seeing Xie Chen's expression suddenly become hideous, as if in pain, the little fat man Xie Tuo suddenly panicked. While babbling nonsense, he hurriedly took the towel that had just been soaked in the stream water, and carefully wiped the burns on Xie Chen's body. If it weren't for Xie Chen's lack of energy to pay attention to what he said at this moment, I'm afraid that even if he wasn't burned to death, he would be angry to death.

And at this moment, that huge flow of information finally completely passed through Xie Chen's mind. But Xie Chen's expression froze, because since these messages appeared in his mind, he suddenly understood what was happening to him.

I...... Oh no, my soul has actually been possessed by another person?!And this person turned out to be a young man named Xie Chen......

Although the flow of information passed, Xie Chen's mind was even more chaotic. In this way, he did not survive in the magma of the Ice and Fire Island. But after the body turned to ashes, the soul was strangely possessed by this boy who should have been burned in the fire and had the same name as himself.

"Brother Chen, don't worry, the clansmen will definitely see the fire on the mountain, and the third uncle and they should also arrive soon. The little fat man Xie Tuo lowered his head, wiped the scorched black on his body seriously for Xie Chen, and muttered in a low voice: "I don't know what's wrong?" Originally, I said to let Brother Chen sleep for a while, but I didn't expect me to fall asleep too." If I see you burned like this, how sad will the third uncle be...... Come, I'll sort out your remains......"

"Get out, do you know what the remains mean!" Xie Chen gritted his teeth and roared angrily.

Although Xie Chen is Xie Tuo's cousin, because he is a premature baby, he has been congenitally deficient since he was a child, and he is frail and sickly. When the two were together, it was Xie Tuo, the cousin, who had been taking care of Xie Chen.

This time is the same, Xie Chen originally felt quite tired from mountaineering, and he wanted to take a break in the wooden house in the mountain, and Xie Tuo was guarding beside him. Unexpectedly, Xie Tuo also fell asleep, so that the two of them were almost buried in the fire.

"Xie Tuo, you mean, you're asleep too?" After roaring, Xie Chen's heart suddenly moved.

"Yes. Xie Tuo raised his head and said, "Originally, I was going to meditate for a while to see if I could feel the existence of the natal spirit. Unexpectedly, I lost consciousness as soon as I exercised. It wasn't until the fire hit my feet that I woke up. When you wake up and look back, you're already dark......"

Xie Chen reluctantly ignored the second half of Xie Tuo's sentence. Only then did he notice that Xie Tuo's right trouser leg was already charred black, his chubby little feet were exposed, and there were a large shocking burn marks on his feet.

Obviously, Xie Tuo has not dealt with his injuries until now in order to save himself. Thinking of this, Xie Chen's heart couldn't help but warm slightly.

"What about Cousin Xie Hao? Didn't he go up the mountain with us?" what about the others?" Xie Chen suddenly remembered something and asked.

"Brother Hao?" Xie Tuo seemed to have just remembered this person, then smiled with relief and said, "Brother Hao is fine, just after you fell asleep, Brother Hao said that he would pray before noon, so he left first." Fortunately, Brother Hao is not in it, otherwise, I am afraid it would be as dark as the two of us. ”

"Oh......" Xie Chen nodded slightly, looking at the black smoke rising from a jungle not far away, thoughtfully.

The mountain behind the Xie family occupies a huge area, and the wooden house that caught fire is being built halfway up the mountain. This wooden house was originally a courtyard, which was used by people in the clan to take a rest when they were tired of climbing the mountain. Although there were no servants in the hut, they were often cleaned and had all the necessary equipment.

Standing by the window of the wooden house, you can look far away, and even overlook the panoramic view of the entire Wushi Town where the Xie family is located. In front of the house, there is a clear green bush, and the mountain stream next to the house is babbling. It is an excellent place for self-cultivation and surname.

Unexpectedly, such a paradise-like place suddenly caught fire and almost killed the lives of two teenagers.

"Xie Tuo, did you feel anything unusual before you fell asleep?" Xie Chen asked in a deep voice.

"Strange place? No......" Xie Tuo didn't know why Xie Chen asked, scratched his head a little confused, and suddenly sighed lightly, and said, "If it's unusual, it's really a little ......."

"What is it?"

Xie Tuo tried his best to recall, "Just when I just started practicing, I smelled a faint fragrance......"

"Scent?"

"En!" the little fat man Xie Tuo nodded affirmatively, and said: "It's the fragrance, I was still thinking about it at the time, but now it's autumn, and there are not even a few wildflowers on the mountain, where is the fragrance? I thought I smelled it wrong." ”

"Yes! It must be like this!" Xie Chen's eyes suddenly crossed two cold glints, and his heart was already bright!

Through the memories that poured out just now, Xie Chen knew that his cousin Xie Tuo had cultivated spiritual power under the guidance of his father since he was a child. Although he is only twelve years old, he already has a good foundation. People with spiritual power naturally don't fall asleep when they just meditate and practice, and there must be something wrong with this.

Thinking of this, Xie Chen sneered in his heart, "Hmph, is it a fascination ...... the gods?"

"Brother Chen, you say, what flowers on this mountain are so fragrant? Could it be that when we were asleep, there was a fairy sister passing by?" Xie Tuo did not have any doubts about the fragrance, but instead thought about it, his eyes were full of longing, "Alas, it's a pity that I didn't see it." If you do, maybe...... Hey hey ......"

"Hehe, you're big, if a fairy really sees you, a fat man, she can't help but light a fire and roast you into a suckling pig!"

Xie Chen complained angrily, he didn't tell Xie Tuo what he thought in his heart, he grew up among horse thieves since he was a child, and he has been sticking to the creed of horse thieves for many years. One of the Horse Thief's Creeds, "Until the truth is known, any speculation can only be a dead letter." Bury everything you have in your heart until you kill with one blow!"

"Is that so? If that's the case, then this fairy sister doesn't know how to appreciate it. You know, I still have a lot of connotation......" The little fat man Xie Tuo stopped Yiyin and said very seriously.

"Xie Chen!Xie Tuo!Where are you?!" At this moment, a clear voice sounded from where the black smoke rose, and the voice revealed anxiety.

"It's Brother Hao! It must be Brother Hao who saw the wooden house on fire and came down from the mountain. Xie Tuo's eyes lit up when he heard the voice, and he shouted loudly: "Brother Hao! We are here! Come here, Brother Chen and I are not dead!"

"Boom!" the bushes slammed, and with the hurried footsteps, a thin boy had already arrived at the two of them in a short time.

"Are you all alright?" the boy seemed to let out a long breath......, then turned to look at the black smoke behind the trees and asked, "W-what's going on?, how did it suddenly catch fire?!"

"Maybe it's because the weather is dry, and there is something flammable in the room, and it spontaneously combusts. Xie Chen looked at the handsome young man in front of him lightly and said, "Cousin Hao, do you say yes?"

"Oh, yes, that's good. For some reason, at the moment when he met Xie Chen's gaze, Xie Hao's gaze flickered a little.

But after a while, Xie Hao regained his composure and said calmly: "I just tied the blessing red cloth to the tree on the top of the mountain, and I saw a fire at the bottom of the mountain. The family's back mountain is forbidden to outsiders, presumably because of the dry weather. ”

As he spoke, Xie Hao suddenly turned his eyes, looked at Xie Tuo with some reproach and said, "Xie Tuo, haven't you been with Brother Chen?

"I, I ......" Facing Xie Hao's question, the little fat man Xie Tuo suddenly looked embarrassed, and he couldn't speak.

His father has long since passed away, and he has always been the patriarch who raised him. Although Xie Tuo was still young, he had already made up his mind to repay the patriarch. And now Xie Chen's injury is also very related to his inexplicable sleep, and he is naturally even more uncomfortable.

"Brother Hao, it's none of Xie Tuo's business, it's my own movements that are too slow. If I could be like Brother Hao, I would not have been burned so badly if I came down from the top of the mountain so quickly. Xie Chen smiled indifferently, as if there was still a hint of envy in his words. It's just that in the depths of his eyes, a cold light quickly crossed it.

In my previous life, my family was baptized in blood, and I could only watch my relatives fall in a pool of blood. In this life, if anyone dares to touch my family again, I will definitely let him never recover!
