Chapter Twenty-Three: The Burning Mountain
With the divine power of fire, Hong Jun was very interested, looked at his father's red palm, and asked, "So, there must be other magical powers?"
"Of course. "The reply is Lieshan Liao, and he also followed him to the Lieshan Temple this time, which is the arrangement of Lieshan Ash.
Hong Jun roughly guessed his father's intentions, Lie Shan Liao had just surrendered to Cheng, and it would not be safe to leave him in the Shaoyan Department. Moreover, the strength of Lieshan Liao is not bad, and the Great Wilderness Burning Body has been trained to the second level, so it may be able to come in handy.
Lieshan Liao didn't think about it so much, since he knew that he was defeated by Hong Jun, he became enthusiastic about Hong Jun, and flattered: "Hong Jun, our Lieshan clan has a lot of magical powers, and there are seven or eight kinds of them that I know alone, such as 'Resisting Fire', 'Attached Flame', 'Fighting Fire', 'Devouring Flame', 'Gathering Fire Knife', 'Flame Body',' 'Flame Hand', each of them has great power and infinite use, such as the chief's Flame Attached, even if his Great Desolation Burning Body Sutra has only been practiced to the second level, I am not an opponent, let alone the third level. ”
Speaking of this, Lie Shan Liao's face was envious, and he shook his head and said, "It's a pity that when I participated in the Heavenly God Ceremony, I didn't have enough strength and didn't get supernatural powers, otherwise I wouldn't have been defeated by you so easily." ”
Hong Jun didn't think so, but he didn't plan to dwell on this issue more, and asked, "Uncle Liao, can you tell me about the process of the Heavenly God Ceremony?"
Lieshan Liao glanced at the Blazing Mountain Ember and saw that he nodded, before he said: "The Celestial God Ceremony is presided over by the high priest of the temple and is divided into three parts, one is to hold a celebration in the temple for three days and three nights; the second is to let the young warriors participating in the ceremony duel, this duel is not a one-on-one battle, but throws everyone into the dueling arena, and the last hundred people who can stand are the winners; the third is to let these hundred victors climb to the top of the Blazing Mountain, sacrifice the gods with blood, and ask the gods to come down to earth to bestow supernatural powers." ”
"The gods descend to earth?" Hong Jun saw that the words of the Lieshan Flame were conclusive, not as if they were fake, and he became more and more confused in his heart, could it be that the gods of the Lieshan clan really existed, and they would appear once every ten years, could it be that some kind of high-level life was playing tricks?
"Yes, the gods descended to earth!"
Father Lieshan Ember was solemn, and said with a straight face: "That's the real god, the ancestor of our Lieshan clan, I don't know how many tens of thousands of years have existed, Hong Jun, after you arrive at Lieshan, you must not be lazy." ”
Lieshan Ember has personally experienced the majesty of the gods, and has mentioned the gods to Hong Jun many times, but Hong Jun's attitude has been lukewarm, so that he vaguely knows that Hong Jun is different from ordinary people, and he seems to have no reverence for the gods.
"I see, father. Lieshan Ember said so solemnly, Hong Jun understood his good intentions, nodded his head, and said that he understood.
Lieshan Liao on the side didn't hear the meaning of the father and son's words, and said with a smile: "It's a pity that I didn't get the supernatural powers, but my son Ah Zhu is different, although he is not as good as you, there is still a great chance in this heavenly god ceremony, please take care of him when the time comes." ”
This time, Lieshan Weld also wanted to participate in the Heavenly God Ceremony, he sat behind his father, and when he heard his father's words, his eyes couldn't help but eagerly, and he looked at Hong Jun with a blank eye.
Originally, Lieshan Weld was still a little unconvinced by Hong Jun, but after seeing the blue leelid, his careful thoughts had long since disappeared, and only deep awe remained.
"I will. Hong Jun agreed. If the father and son really contributed to the Shaoyan Ministry, he didn't mind helping Lieshan Welding at the right time, after all, now Lieshan Welding is also a member of the Shaoyan Ministry, and his strength has increased, which means that the strength of the Shaoyan Department has also increased.
"Thank you, young chief. Lieshan Welding was very happy, he knew that Hong Jun's strength was strong, and Hong Jun's words were equal to half of the matter.
The team of three hundred people advanced to the south for a month, and it was very painful to march in the deep mountains and dense forests, even if there was a Kui clouded leopard in the Shaoyan Division, it would not be more than three thousand miles a month, and on average, it would only walk a hundred miles a day, which was already a very fast speed.
Hong Jun wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked around, it was still an endless primeval forest, and couldn't help but sigh.
I heard my father say that it is still far away from Lieshan at the moment, and it will take at least half a month to walk, that is to say, Shaoyan is more than 4,000 miles away from the Lieshan Temple. This is only the edge of the Great Wilderness, no one has ever gone deeper than 10,000 miles south, and the entire Lieshan Clan's residence only occupies a very small area in the Great Wilderness.
It is said that there are many powerful and terrifying creatures living in the depths of the Great Wilderness, and any one of them can easily wipe out a tribe, which is even more terrifying than the blue beetle lizard.
A few days ago, when the team was advancing in the forest, a black giant eagle suddenly appeared in the sky, at first glance it was not big, when it passed over the heads of everyone, it covered the sky and the sun, its wings spread out more than ten zhang long, and with a chirp, all the mounts were frightened and weakened, trembling all over, and they couldn't walk no matter how they urged.
When everyone was hiding under the tree, Hong Jun's eyes were sharp, and he also found that the giant eagle was carrying two prey on its claws, both of which were fierce beasts of more than 1,000 catties, but they had no power to resist under the claws of the giant eagle.
Hearing the movement, the blue leek rushed straight down from the sky, but only saw the back of the black giant eagle in the distance, and was about to chase it, but was stopped by Hong Jun.
Since this giant eagle is just passing by, there is no need to make any extraneous branches.
It took a long time for the mounts of the Shaoyan people to recover from their panic, and the group hurriedly left the place.
On the way after that, Blazing Mountain Ember was even more cautious, avoiding several territories that were rumored to be occupied by powerful creatures along the way, and trying to follow the familiar road he had walked, although there were one or two accidents, encountering several fierce beasts, all of which fell into the belly of the blue leech, and there was no danger along the way, and there were no casualties.
On this day, Hong Jun looked ahead and found that the southern sky had turned red, as if it was shrouded in boundless fire clouds, and the surrounding dense forests had become a little hotter, and a scorching breath had penetrated into his nostrils, like the smell of sulfur.
Lieshan Ember wrinkled his nose, took a few deep breaths of air, and said with a smile: "It's almost here, we are not far from Lieshan." ”
The soldiers of the Shaoyan Department cheered. After walking in the dense forest for a month and a half, everyone was already very tired, and now they were about to reach the temple, and they were all relieved.
After walking further south for two days, the sky was getting redder and redder, and the forest was getting hotter and hotter, and finally, Hong Jun's eyes lit up and he found himself out of the forest.
There is a vast grassland in front of you, there is no end in sight, the hot wind continues to blow the weeds that are more than one person high, at the end of the field of vision, a huge mountain range stands there, the highest main peak towers into the clouds, countless fireworks gush out from the top of the mountain, scattered into the sky, forming a boundless red cloud, almost covering the sky.
"This is the Burning Mountain!" the crowd exclaimed.
Here, everywhere you look, there is a dark red color, the land is dark red, the grass and trees are dark red, the sky is dark red, even the animals are dark red, as if you have entered a dark red world.
Lieshan Ember led everyone into the grassland, as soon as they stepped in, the temperature around them rose sharply, as if they had entered a big furnace, but this was a great enjoyment for the Lieshan people, like a fish in water, the dragon returned to the sea, and made a few nasal sounds comfortably. Hong Jun tried to breathe a few rounds according to the mantra on the Great Desolation Sutra, and noticed that a trace of energy was absorbed into his body from the surrounding air, making his bones a little harder.
Hong Jun was taken aback, he didn't even practice the Burning Body Dance, just breathed and breathed, which made the Great Wilderness Burning Body Sutra slightly improved, and said secretly: "This place is specially used to cultivate the Great Wilderness Burning Body Sutra, right?"
"If I can live at the foot of the Burning Mountain, the cultivation speed of the Great Desolation Burning Body Sutra will definitely be greatly improved," Hong Jun thought in his heart, "Five years should be enough for me to practice to the fourth level." ”
"No wonder all the people of the Lieshan want to live here. ”
Everyone in the Shaoyan Department was excited, and kept urging the Kuiyun Leopard to rush in the direction of the Burning Mountain, and everyone vaguely felt as if a voice came from the bottom of their hearts, as if it was an instinct, forcing themselves to approach the Burning Mountain, this emotion could not be suppressed, but it was a call that had been lurking in the blood for countless thousands of years.
"Roar!" the blue leezard fell from the sky and landed beside Hong Jun, sneezing again and again. It can be seen that it does not like the hot environment very much, and it is a little uncomfortable all over its body.
Hong Jun was suddenly a little embarrassed, but he couldn't let the blue leezard leave, if it was too far away from him and lost its restraint, maybe it would be gone forever.
"Bear with me, fly higher and go above the clouds. ”
The blue leech did not dare to disobey, soared into the sky, and soon disappeared from view.
After a group of people galloped on the grassland for more than ten miles, a stone fort appeared in front, covering a small area, but there was a high guard tower, the people on the tower saw the team of the Shaoyan Department from a distance, shouting loudly, and suddenly dozens of warriors wearing leather armor and holding weapons poured out of the stone fort, they rode on a kind of horse-like long-horned mount, all of them were tall, with dark red hair, and they were obviously also from the Lieshan tribe.
"Stop!"
The knight on the opposite side shouted loudly, but there was not much nervousness in his voice, after all, Shao Yanbu knew at a glance that he was also a clansman.
Burning Mountain Ember saw the stone castle from a distance, waved his hand to slow down the speed of the team, and drove the Kuiyun Leopard to step forward, and suddenly showed a look of surprise on his face, and shouted: "Burning Mountain Melt, you are the Burning Mountain Melting of the Haodian Department!"
"It's me," the other party looked at him suspiciously, and when he got closer, he suddenly smiled: "Burning Mountain Ash, it turned out to be you!"
The two of them got off their mounts, stepped forward and hugged each other tightly, Lieshan Rong's body was extremely strong, looking comparable to Lieshan Ash, he patted Lieshan Ash's shoulder hard, and said loudly: "Lieshan Ash, we haven't seen each other for almost twenty years, your changes are really not small, I almost didn't recognize it just now." ”
"You haven't changed, you're still the same as you were back then. Ember looked very happy, friends had been reunited for many years, and the first person he saw when he first arrived at the foot of Lieshan was an old acquaintance, which made him think that this time he might have come to the right place.
"The son of the high priest of your dignified Haodian Department, who was given supernatural powers by the gods at the ceremony, how did you get sent to the outpost fort now?" At the beginning, Lieshan Rong's qualifications were no less than his own, but after twenty years, it seemed that the cultivation of the Great Wilderness Burning Body Sutra had slowed down, and it was only the second weight.
"It's hard to put into words. Lieshan Rong shook his head and smiled bitterly, but said: "You are now the chief of the Shaoyan Tribe, I know that you will return to Lieshan one day." ”
"yes. "The blazing embers are slightly colored.
After reminiscing about the old days, Lie Shan Rong looked at the people of the Shaoyan Department not far away, saw many young faces, guessed the purpose of the Shaoyan Ministry's trip, and asked, "The Heavenly God Ceremony still has more than a month to start, and you are here so early?"
"Good morning. Lieshan Ash's eyes flashed, thinking that this was not the place to speak, and pointed to Hong Jun and introduced: "This is my son Lieshan Yang." ”
"I've seen Uncle Rong. Hong Jun nodded and saluted.
Lieshan Rong looked at Hong Jun, his eyes showed a little surprise, Hong Jun's appearance knew at a glance that he was not an ordinary Lieshan clansman, but he didn't ask much, and greeted Lieshan Ember for a while, and said: "I will change my guard in three days, and I will return to Lieshan City when the time comes, and we will have a good drink again, and we will not get drunk." ”
"Okay, that's it. Lieshan Ember agreed with a smile, rode on the Kuiyun Leopard, waved his hand, and left the stone castle with three hundred horsemen from the Shaoyan Division.
