Chapter 104: Death
She never imagined that she would come one day.
Yun casually just went into the fifth floor of the "messy building" to read a book that day. On the fifth floor, there are some character classics, and the legends of the monsters. Because it was really cold outside, she was too lazy to move, so she picked out a random one and sat on the ground and looked at it slowly, and suddenly heard someone running up briskly downstairs. After a while, the figure of the god appeared around the corner. He sat down next to Yun Casual and asked unintentionally, "Senior sister, what are you doing?"
The two of them were not as unfamiliar as before, and Yun Xian had long been accustomed to having such a talkative junior brother, so he just raised the book in his hand, moved the candlestick beside him farther away, and asked, "It's not snowing outside?"
"No, Master was just invited away by someone from the Heavenly Realm, and he asked me to follow you before leaving. ”
"People from the Heavenly Realm?" she wondered, "Master has always disliked the people of the Heavenly Realm, why did he follow them—they entered the Ling Xuan Temple?"
Shen Tu shook his head, "No, it's in the forest outside. The person who came this time was the Qingluan envoy, and it should be the highest courtesy in the Heavenly Court, I don't know what they said, the master should give them some face. ”
Yun casually pursed his lips, didn't think much about it, and continued to look down at the book in his hand. Suddenly, the bell on her wrist began to ring at such a fast speed, it had never sounded so loudly, so panicked, almost the next moment it was about to crack, and it startled her. She looked at it with some amazement and asked, "What are you doing?"
Above the clouds, in the purple sky, a red lotus quietly fell, suddenly opened in the air, and the flower buds emitted infinite streamers. Ten thousand streams of fire swooped down, gently falling on the tiles on the roof of the "chaotic building" like fireworks in the daytime, and then ignited a raging fire.
This fire can be described by the word "gorgeous", and the brilliance is like the Buddha light in the western sky, but it is menacing. The people who happened to see this spectacle were only amazed by the beauty of the red lotus, thinking that the gods had descended to earth and knelt down to worship. And the two people in the "chaotic building" didn't know that the danger was approaching, until Shen Tu stood up suddenly, listened for a while, and frowned: "Senior sister, there seems to be something upstairs, I'll take a look." ”
He had always been very bold, and as he spoke, he ran up. They hadn't looked carefully at the sixth and seventh floors before, and Yun casually listened to it for a while, only to feel that the sound didn't look like it came from a person, but like the "crackling" sound of burning firewood.
"What's wrong?" she shouted upstairs, only to hear Shendu's panicked voice. He had never been so flustered, he jumped down in three steps and two steps, grabbed Yun Shu's wrist like a gust of wind, and pulled her downstairs: "It's on fire! Senior sister, go quickly, this fire is very unusual, it seems to be coming at me!"
"What?" Before she could react, she was already being pushed downstairs by the gods. Glancing back, tongues of fire were already swooping and spreading, almost licking her hair.
This red lotus karmic fire can burn away the filth and great disrespect of the world. The god is the ghost king, and he originally represents the darkest and most filthy thing in the underworld, so the fire rushes to him. Soon there was a sound of collapse from the upper floor, presumably a beam made of wood that had been burned.
Yun casually could react, and all of them began to tremble, desperately controlling their trembling legs and running downstairs. She had never encountered such a big fire in her life, and she almost couldn't think, and she just thought about one sentence over and over again: "I'm going to die today, I'm going to die." ”
In the chaos, she had almost run to the first floor, but she didn't know where the courage came from, and she looked back again. The god is casting a spell to create a barrier so that she has time to escape. He was almost covered with frost all over his body, but he couldn't stop such a big fire, cold sweat had flowed down, and his body was full of scorched marks. When he saw Yun turning his head to look at him at will, he couldn't help but be angry and anxious, gritted his teeth and shouted: "Senior sister, don't leave yet! I can't hold on if I don't leave!"
"I'm gone, what will happen to you?"
"Don't, stop talking nonsense......"
Yun casually saw despair in the light of the fire reflected in his eyes. But he stood unusually firm, refusing to move even a step.
An idea popped into her mind, and as soon as the thought came to her, she knew what she was going to do next.
"Senior brother can't die, he's a ghost king, he can't die. ”
The thought was firmly in her heart. Then she remembered that she had seen the spirit exchange talisman used by her master in Liufu. After a moment of thought, the seven-year-old girl turned her head and rushed in again, shouting at Shen Tu, "Senior brother, it should be you who is leaving!"
In a life-or-death situation, shouting a person's name is always extra forceful. She didn't know why it was on fire, only that if someone had to die here today, it would have to be herself.
Shen Di's eyes widened for a moment, because Yun Shu had rushed to his side. He felt that his back had been slammed, and then he was firmly bound by the countless red threads that came out of her hands and thrown outside the "messy building".
This little girl, who is only seven years old, doesn't know where she got such a strong effort.
It all happened so fast that he didn't have time to struggle. Everything in front of him seemed to be slowed down countless times, and he rolled on the ground a few times before he could stop, and when he struggled to turn his body to look, a beam slammed into Yun Shu's head. I saw her stumble and fall silently into the sea of fire that surrounded her.
He watched, mouth open, barely making a sound. After a long time, accompanied by a hoarse cry, he desperately broke free of the red money that bound him, and countless blood marks suddenly appeared on his body. Blood flowed down all parts of his body, but he seemed to be in pain at all, and he rushed into the fire as if he was crazy—"Aren't you here to burn me? Why are you burning my sister......?"
The tongue of fire licked his clothes and hair mercilessly, but he didn't even have the strength to hold a barrier for himself, and only relied on a residual belief to look for her figure in the sea of fire.
"Whoever will save her, who will save her......"
The Taoist chief stood in the prison and carefully examined the magic circle he had arranged, and found that there was nothing abnormal. When I looked up, I found that Jing Mo, who was standing in front of me, had become Houqing at some point, and was making a weird sneer. He had always hated Hou Qing for making such an expression, so he asked, "What are you laughing at?"
Hou Qing pointed to his ear and motioned for him to listen.
"Jingle bells, jingle bells......"
It was as if it was the sound of a bell breaking.
As if under some spell, he stood still, unable to move, as if his brain had become a mess. He suddenly pulled out his legs and rushed out, even ignoring Wen Yuan's voice behind him, and there was only one thought in his heart: "Yun is free, you can't have an accident, you can't have an accident!"
The karmic fire seemed to feel that it had fulfilled its mission, and it gradually went out. At the last moment, a slender and brilliant fire rose into the sky and disappeared into the air. All that remained was a charred ruin, smoking from the ground. Shen Tu was still rummaging through the ruins with his bloody hands, and he only muttered the word "senior sister" in his mouth, as if he couldn't say anything else.
It's ridiculous, obviously a few days ago I said that "you can play in the snow every year", but now there is no "every year". In fact, he also knew in his heart that the beam fell, the cloud fainted at will, and it was impossible to wake up again. But he still refused to believe that his senior sister was gone, how could he believe such a bloody fact!
The Dao Chief jumped down from the clouds, staggered a few steps on the ground, and stared at the ruins in front of him in a daze.
His whole body was cold and shivering, but he did not shed tears, but walked over, and suddenly did not stand still, and half knelt on the ground. At this time, he saw the spirit change talisman on the back of the god. In a trance, he seemed to understand something, and stretched out his hand to remove it.
Shendi's face was full of tears, not blood, but real tears. The clothes on his body were in tatters, he was bleeding all over, trembling, and he couldn't say a complete sentence: "Senior sister is gone...... Senior sister, she-no, she's still mortal, I can summon her soul back!"
He suddenly thought of this, said excitedly to the Dao Chief, and immediately began to cast a spell with force. But no matter how he summoned, there was no reaction from all around.
"What's going on, what's going on?"
He didn't know that the fire was the Red Lotus Karma Fire, and Yun's random soul was also burned together.
The Taoist looked at all this blankly, but he still didn't shed tears, as if he was already dead, and his whole body turned pale.
He slowly stretched out his unconscious hand and began to rummage through the pile of coke. The "Messy Building" was burned to the ground, only those artifacts remained, some that could withstand the fire were not burned, and the rest were already unrecognizable. He found a bell under a beam that had been burnt to a brittle. Its surface had been burned black, and the strings had been burned, and it could no longer make a sound.
He looked down at the bell. The pain began to rise violently all over his body, the kind of pain that penetrated deep into the bone marrow, as if dozens of sharp knives were twisted in his body, each of which was in the most vulnerable position, and he had no strength at all.
He gently held the bell in the palm of his hand, and suddenly fell to the ground with his head bowed, vomiting a large mouthful of blood. By the second and third mouthfuls...... As if he was about to vomit all the blood out of his body, tears fell in large drops and fell into the scorched earth.
"Master......"
He couldn't hear anymore. The sky was overcast, the wind was starting to tighten, and Fuyu Mountain was about to start its second snow of the year.
