"Thirty-three, pile of people, six hundred and six, Red Sea Current, nine thousand nine, and disappear. ”

A drooping boy was sitting on the threshold, reciting a song he had heard from nowhere, and two clay figurines in his hand, crackling with each other.

A peasant woman walked out of the house and gently patted the drooping boy on the head: "Zhu'er, why did you hear such nonsense, stop singing!"

The drooping boy named "Bolt" covered his head and smiled at the peasant woman: "Mother, when will Daddy come back?"

The peasant woman looked up at the sun and muttered, "This is the time to return." As he spoke, he shouted into the pond not far from the front of the house, "Pillar!"

A string of bubbles bubbled up in the pond, and after a while, a sturdy shirtless boy came out of the water, touched a handful of water on his face, and said with a smile: "Mother, you call me?"

"You put on your clothes, and then take the bolt to the intersection to see, has your father come back from the mountain?"

"Okay!" the pillar climbed ashore from the water, got dressed in twos and threes, and beckoned to Shu'er, "Shu'er, let's go! Let's welcome Daddy, we have meat to eat tonight!" As soon as Shu'er heard that he ate meat at night, he immediately dropped the two clay figurines and followed him.

Not long after the two had walked, the peasant woman heard footsteps outside the house, and when she looked up, an eight-foot man in a coarse coat and a leather skirt walked in, put down the hunting bow in his hand by the wall, and threw the roe deer he was carrying on his shoulder to the ground. The pillar and bolt emerged from behind Orion, looking curiously at his father's prey, and Orion touched the heads of his two sons, but there was no smile on his face.

"Lao He, what's wrong?" the peasant woman saw that something was wrong with her husband's expression.

"Let's cook first, I'll chop some firewood. Lao He didn't say much, and went out with an axe.

After noon, a family of four was eating lunch at the table, and the pillars and bolts were around a large bowl of roe deer meat.

The peasant woman stretched out her chopsticks, snapped them on the chopsticks that the two were fighting over in the bowl, and said, "You two eat less, save it for the evening!"

Orion Lao He stopped his wife: "Let them eat, roe deer meat is good." ”

"Old He?" the peasant woman felt as if her husband had something to say.

Lao He looked at his wife and sighed: "I went up the mountain today and met the tiger king in the back mountain." ”

"Ah!" exclaimed the peasant woman.

People who live nearby know that there is a huge tiger living in the depths of the back mountain, which is several times larger than ordinary tigers, and people call it the Tiger King, and there are even rumors that it has become a sperm. The Tiger King usually lives in seclusion, but whoever intrudes into its territory does not want to come out alive, and because of this, the nearby hunters never dare to go to the back mountain.

"Why did you run to the back mountain!"

"It's okay, the Tiger King was dead before I saw it. I didn't go to the back mountain, I saw it in the front mountain. ”

"Dead?"

"I'm also very strange, the Tiger King is really terrifying, there must be more than a thousand catties, which of the animals in this mountain saw the Tiger King and hid far away. Lao He took a sip of rice wine from the bowl, calmed down, and continued, "But this tiger king also died strangely, there were no wounds on his body, but his eyes were wide open, and his mouth was open, as if he was frightened." ”

The peasant woman seems to have heard something incredible, and it is no wonder that only the Tiger King has ever scared others, when will he be frightened by others?

"Later, I continued to walk into the mountains, and along the way I saw many corpses, wild boars, pythons, and an eagle, all of which died in the same way as the Tiger King. Lao He said in a deep voice, "I realized at that time that something was wrong. ”

The peasant woman was stunned for a moment and asked, "Lao He, what are you talking about?"

"Do you remember what the old man in the village said, the demons make trouble, and they come back every forty years. Even the Tiger King can be killed silently, this is not a powerful demon, what can it be?"

"That's what the old people said, but ...... But who knew it would be true!" the peasant woman was anxious and didn't know what to do.

Then a gust of wind blew through the door of the house. The peasant woman stood up and went to bolt the door.

"It's noon, why is it suddenly windy? Lao He muttered to himself, and suddenly stood up and looked out through the window.

But I saw the dark clouds rolling outside the house, and the wind was raging, and although it was ten o'clock in the afternoon, the heavens and the earth were dark.

"Lao He, why is it going to rain all of a sudden?" asked the peasant woman suspiciously.

"It's not raining!" Lao He shouted, "Quickly bolt the door and seal the window!" Although the peasant woman didn't know what was going on, she hurriedly did so, and the husband and wife bolted the door and sealed the window.

"Pillar, bolt, go into the cellar with your mother!"

The pillar and bolt had not finished eating, but seeing that his father looked nervous, and knowing that it was not the time to be greedy, he stuffed two mouthfuls of roe deer meat indiscriminately, and ran to the back room to open the door of the cellar. Lao He ran to the kitchen, extinguished the fire in the stove, and threw out all the food left on the table, then took his hunting bow and a short knife, and followed him down to the cellar.

As soon as he entered the cellar, he found his two little clay figurines in the house, and cried out to go back and get them. Lao He glared at him and reprimanded in a low voice: "Shut up, don't make trouble!" The father has always been strict, and he is quite majestic in the hearts of the two sons, and the bolt glanced at the small mouth with a little grievance, and he no longer made noise. The pillar probe asked, "Dad, what's going on?" Why did you go down to the cellar?" Lao He just made a silent gesture: "Shhh

The family of four stayed silently in the dim cellar, breathing in the turbid air, and their heartstrings were tense.

I don't know how long it took, and all kinds of strange noises began to sound overhead, like someone was tearing down bricks and tiles, accompanied by a terrible howl. The atmosphere was unusually solemn, and the young man was so frightened that he couldn't help crying, and the peasant woman hurriedly covered his mouth to prevent him from crying.

The sound lasted for a few moments before fading away. Lao He didn't go out immediately, he still stayed in the cellar and waited quietly, until there was no movement outside, and then quietly motioned to his wife to bring his two sons with him. Crawling out of the cellar, the house was empty, the beams had collapsed, the door was wide open, and all the furniture had been charred. Lao He held a bow, held an arrow in his hand, tiptoed out of the door, looked around and found that there was no abnormality, and then waved his wife and children over.

"Let's go, get to the True Immortal Temple before dark!"

Lao He was originally a hunter in Dumu Village, thirty miles away, just for the convenience of hunting on weekdays, and did not live in the village but at the foot of the mountain. At this moment, the demons are coming, although they are still invisible, but if there is any place around here that can hide from the demons, it is only the old temple of the true immortals in the village that has been built for hundreds of years.

It's just that the four of them haven't run half a mile yet, and a blue fire burns out of thin air in the distance behind them, and floats directly towards Lao He's family along the wind, coming extremely fast. Lao He picked up the bolt, wrapped his other hand around his wife's waist, spread his legs and ran wildly, the pillar was strong and agile, and he followed his father without falling half a step.

But the blue fire was still drifting closer and closer, and the shortcut was only ten zhang away from Lao He's family, and it would take a few breaths to catch up. Lao He stuffed the bolt on his shoulder into the arms of the pillar and yelled, "Take your mother and your brother away!"

"Daddy——!" The pillar was pushed by Lao He, his footsteps did not stop, and his eyes were already moist when he looked back at his father. Zhu'er was young and ignorant, and he didn't know what was going on, but Zhuzi knew in his heart what his father was planning, and tears couldn't help but roll in his eyes.

"Let's go!" Lao He took an arrow in his hand, pulled the bow and shot it out in one breath, all in one go. Lao He has long arms, a hundred-pound horn bow, and an iron arrow on it, but this powerful arrow passed directly through, and a pair of triangular eyes and a big mouth lit up in the blue flames, smiling at Lao He faintly.

Lao He threw away the horn bow and pulled out a short knife, the green tendons on his forehead burst out, and there was fire burning in his eyes. "Demons, monsters, come on!"

The pillar did not look back, nor did he dare to look back, only to hear a loud noise behind him, and then there was no sound. He could only wipe his eyes and keep running. After running for a few more miles, he saw his mother looking at him with a kind face, and her steps gradually slowed.

"Mother, why did you stop? ”

"Mother can't run, you run fast, take the bolt and go quickly, go to the True Immortal Temple!"

"Mother, let's go together!" The pillar couldn't help it, tears came out of his eyes, "Daddy is no longer here, mother, you don't want to leave me anymore!"

"Silly boy, if you don't leave, we won't be able to leave!" the peasant woman looked resolute and pushed the pillar out, "Go, don't look back!"

The pillar had red eyes, gritted his teeth, and ran away without looking back.

Behind the peasant woman, a blue flame flashed.

I don't know how long the pillar ran, and when he crossed a hill, the houses in the valley in front of him were scattered, and it was Dumu Village, and he instantly cheered up and rushed towards the village.

"Woooooooooo......oo Mother...... Daddy ......" The little bolt on his back still cried incessantly, and since the sacrifice of Lao He and his wife, his tears have not stopped as if the thread was broken.

Zhuzi was also very sad in his heart, but he still tried his best to comfort his younger brother at the moment: "Zhu'er, don't cry. Daddy and Mom will follow later. ”

"Woo...... Brother, you lie, Daddy...... Daddy won't come back, and mom won't be tied anymore...... Woo......"

The pillar was about to comfort the bolt for a few more words, when suddenly a strong wind blew and blew him to the ground, and the bolt on his back also fell out.

The pillar hurriedly got up, but saw that countless blue figures suddenly appeared in front of him, all of them strange people with blue fire all over their bodies. As far as the eye can see, the Blue Fire Monsters are all over the mountains, and the atmosphere is forested, and the whole valley is like a Shura Ghost Prison. The pillar could not find the bolt, and shouted loudly, and this call attracted the attention of all the blue strangers. I saw that the strange people did not touch the ground, like floating lamps and approaching. The pillar was glared at by hundreds of pairs of blue fire eyes, and he couldn't help but feel a deep chill all over his body, and his heart was about to jump out of his throat. But at this moment, he saw a strange man in the vast blue ocean, and picked up the crying child.

I didn't see any other movements of the strange man, but he just opened his mouth and sucked, and the white and chubby face of the bolt suddenly dried up, like a withered and rotten wood, and there was no anger at all.

"Bolt!" the pillar screamed miserably, and his whole body trembled uncontrollably.

The Blue Fire Monster dropped the bolt's body and turned to the pillar. The pillar opened his eyes and was filled with anger in his heart, as if he had forgotten that the blue fire monster in front of him could kill people in an instant, and picked up a stone from the ground without the slightest intention of retreating.

Those emotionless eyes, although they were blazing with blue fire, were unusually cold, staring at the pillar, closer and closer.

"Evil Barrier, look at the sword!"

A silver sword light pierced the sky, striking with lightning speed, and the blue fire monster was immediately split in two, then twisted to pieces, and finally completely evaporated under an invisible sword qi. The rest of the blue fire monsters were also dismembered by the sword light and dissipated between heaven and earth.

Zhu Zi stared blankly at everything in front of him, these blue fire monsters who killed his tall and powerful father in one breath and sucked up his younger brother's yang energy in one breath, were just cleaned up by a sword?

Could it be that this is the legendary ............ Immortals?

"At a young age, not afraid of evil spirits, rare. A cloud-robed Daoist walked up to him and looked down at him. The pillar raised its head and faced the light, unable to see the face of the Taoist, but could hear the cold voice of the Taoist.

"Would you like to practice with me?"
