Chapter 1 I came from a dream
The crisp birdsong echoed in the forest for a long time with the cool breeze, but at this time, it sounded like a ghost urging Jing Fei's ears.
The occasional slipping down of the sunlight erected a pillar of light in the blood-colored dimness, like the last holiness in the boundless blood prison, Jing Fei walked into it quickly, there was a hint of blush on his slightly tired face under the golden sunlight, he tilted his head and opened his eyes wide to look at the sky, but what met his eyes was only dazzling golden.
Maybe the sun was too dazzling, Jing Fei's eyes were full of color, and the stuffiness and nausea in his chest had also melted a lot.
This is a scarlet forest, with an indissolvable red viscous overhead, nearly a hundred meters of maple trees can only be seen in their lives, the trunk of ten people hugging is black and cracked, the long red thorny vines are messily wound on the trunk, the stench emitted by the corpses of unknown animals in the depths of the vines is upsetting, Jing Fei turned sideways to avoid a falling maple leaf, which is a bloody red.
Jing Fei walked for five hours in this forest, this hellish jungle of Shura seemed to have no end, and the dry throat and exhaustion from his body made him more and more anxious.
He clearly remembered that he was with Xiruo a few hours ago, it was a dream world built by their own hands, when he took Xiruo's hand and walked into a glow, he was left alone in the dim and blood-colored dense forest.
At first, he thought it was a small game played by Xiruo, but he couldn't find Xiruo's figure all around, and after calming down, he suddenly realized that he was no longer in a dream.
He had tried to fall asleep many times, but when he closed his eyes, all he could see was the endless blood-colored maple forest, and his uneasy emotions became more and more hideous in this strange environment. Now, he just wants to get out of here quickly.
After adjusting his mood, Jing Fei faltered and continued to hurry, the dense branches and foliage covered the sky, and the lush canopy was the same on all sides, Jing Fei could only follow his feelings.
I don't know how long he walked, in a trance, Jing Fei heard the sound of water, he cheered up and walked quickly forward, a point of light appeared in the distance, "It's the exit", Jing Fei was pleasantly surprised, the point of light became bigger and bigger, and the smile on Jing Fei's face became brighter and brighter.
"Ahhh.....hhh
Under the bright sunshine, Jing Fei shouted loudly, startling the birds in the forest. Looking back, the three-meter-high tree hole seems to separate the two worlds.
The trickle is crystal clear, the fish in the water are frolicking in the rippling waves, and Jing Fei's gloomy mood slowly melts in this peace. The red maple forests on both sides of the stream, nearly 100 meters high, towered like two cliffs, and Jing Fei believed that as long as he followed the stream, he would eventually get a place of smoke.
A face was reflected in the clear stream, it was a face with a residual smile, and for no reason I remembered that it would be nice if she was around. There was a splash of water, Jing Fei picked up a handful of water and splashed it on his face, the stream was cold, dispelling unrealistic fantasies.
A stone smashed on his back, Jing Fei was startled, and looked back to see an old man standing not far away, staring at him vigilantly.
"Are you from the neighborhood?" Jing Fei stood up excitedly and walked towards the old man, it was a kind of touching of meeting an old acquaintance in a foreign land.
"Stand there and don't move. The old man took a step back and scolded.
Jing Fei was a little puzzled, he was just a helpless lost person, where did the old man's vigilance come from?
He paused and looked at the other man carefully. The old man's gray hair was tied in a bun, he was dressed in a dark blue linen robe, the hem was tied high around his waist, and a bundle of firewood and firewood knives with slight sprouts were placed on the ground beside him, and in his hand he held a strange short crossbow, the size of a palm, and the intricate runes on the arrows flashed faintly. Compared with the short crossbow, Jing Fei felt that those eyes were more intimidating, they were a kind of frightening eyes, fierce, indifferent, like a knife.
"Stand there and don't move. ”
A voice like a silver bell sounded, and a small head poked out from behind the old man, it was a little girl of eight or nine years old, with fair skin, pigtails, and big eyes that looked at her and then retracted her head.
"The first article of the demon record. The old man spoke.
The little girl poked her head out again, and said solemnly: "When encountering people in the wild, you must be cautious and ask where you are coming from and where you want to go." "Shrink your head.
"What do you mean?" Jing Fei felt inexplicable.
"Don't you understand people? The old man's tone was like interrogating a prisoner, stern without a hint of warmth.
"You..."Jing Fei smiled angrily, what kind of people have you met here, but now she wants to ask for someone, so she replied casually, "I came from a dream, and I want to go to a dream." ”
"Grandpa, he's a demon, shoot him. The little girl poked her head out and stared at Jing Fei alertly.
Looking at the short crossbow slowly raised in the old man's hand, Jing Fei was startled, he didn't want to come really, so he quickly explained,
"Wait, wait, I just slept and woke up and went to this forest, I walked for a long time to come out, I was going to follow this stream to find a place to live, but I met you, what I said was true, I don't even know where it is. ”
The old man stared at Jing Fei's eyes tightly, seeing that his face was panicked and his eyes were dodging, and the short crossbow was raised by three points.
"What city are you from?" asked the old man.
This question was a little strange, and after a little hesitation, he replied, "Beijing City." ”
"Beijing City?" the old man frowned and thought for a moment, "I haven't heard of it." ”
This can make Jing Feilei arrive, saying the same thing as himself but saying that he doesn't know Beijing City, this is a crossing.
"The second article of the demon record. The old man continued.
"It's hard to distinguish between shemales, the spirit rune is attached to the forehead, and if the spirit rune spontaneously combusts, there is no doubt that it is a demon. After speaking, the little girl took out a beautiful cloth bag from her bosom, slightly larger than the sachet, carefully took out a piece of rune paper, wrapped a small stone in the rune paper, and threw it to Jing Fei.
Jing Fei saw the name, this seemed to be the interrogation process of meeting strangers in the wild, which made Jing Fei even more curious about the place. Bend down and pick up the rune paper, which is soft and smooth to the touch, and on the rune paper are some red symbols that I can't read. Recalling what the little girl said, it should be to stick the rune paper on the forehead, the rune paper does not respond to its own safety, and the rune paper burns to make a demon.
"It's ridiculous. ”
Jing Fei muttered and put the talisman paper on his forehead. There was a faint suction on the rune paper, which was tightly attached to his forehead, and he didn't fall off when he put down his hand, which made Jing Fei's heart rise up and down at the same time.
Jing Fei stood there quietly with Fu on the door of his head, and he felt that he must be very stupid now.
After a few minutes, there was still no movement, and the little girl looked up and said to the old man, "Grandpa, there is no problem." ”
The old man nodded slightly, but Jing Fei's dress and speech and demeanor were strange, and the old man was really relieved, so he spoke again:
"The third article of the Demon Record. ”
"The spirit rune is not a complete law, maybe it is a big demon, there are doubts in my heart, and I will take the blood bottle again. The blood bottle has five colors, corresponding to the five realm demons, red, orange, blue, indigo, purple, one, two, three, four, five. ”
After Xiao Nian finished speaking, she threw a small transparent bottle at Jing Fei's feet.
Jing Fei clenched his fists, his face turned pale, it was just a stupid talisman to paste, and now he had to take a blood test, and he was too deceitful, how could it be ...... to do this.
Seeing that Jing Fei had not moved for a long time, the little girl urged: "You'd better hurry up, according to the laws of Hanyuan City, if someone refuses to be tested, they can be shot on the spot." Do you understand?" After speaking, he stuck out his tongue at Jing Fei.
"Endure the calm for a while, take a step back and open the sky. ”
The ancients had a really good temper, Jing Feifu picked up the bottle again, the tentacles were cold, the bottle body was non-glass and non-plastic, and the cork was a soft wood.
"Is there a knife?" Jing Fei asked, raising his head.
"What are you doing, you want to resist. The little girl asked curiously.
"How can I bleed without a knife. Jing Fei's forehead is full of green tendons.
"There's a wooden thorn under the stopper, so you don't have to take too much. The little girl rolled her eyes.
Jing Fei was speechless, he just wanted to finish the test quickly, and he didn't want to stay with the pair of grandchildren for a moment. The red blood flowed into the bottle and did not change for a long time. Jing Fei wrapped the bottle in the rune paper and threw it back, turned around and left.
"Hey, why are you going?" asked the little girl curiously.
"Do you know where I go, why, do you have to do a chest X-ray after the blood test?" Jing Fei left along the stream without looking back.
"Grandpa, do you leave him alone?" the little girl tugged at the old man's sleeve.
"He's a human, not a demon, it doesn't matter what he does, you see he dresses strangely, and his speech is weird, let's have more than one thing. The old man said as he packed up his things and beckoned his granddaughter to leave.
The soft soil has a faint earthy smell, and it is comfortable to walk on it.
Jing Fei recalled the little girl's Hanyuan City and secretly wondered if he was lonely and unheard, he had also traveled to many places, but he had never heard of this name. The hundred-meter-high blood-colored maple forest, dressed in a quaint grandson, Hanyuan City... , Jing Fei felt more and more that this was not his original world.
After walking three or four miles, Jing Fei looked back and found that the grandfather and grandson were hanging far behind him, and the slanting sun stretched the shadow to a long and narrow distance, and the little girl jumped on Jing Fei's shadow with the little basket on her back to play.
Suddenly, Jing Fei caught a glimpse of the fish in the stream and began to scurry, he was very sure that it was a sign of fright, he stopped, the ground shook slightly, and the dense forest on both sides startled a group of birds. He heard movement behind him, and before he turned around, he felt a strong wind blowing beside him, and he looked at it only to see the old man sweeping forward with his granddaughter in his hand, and every step was two or three zhang away, Jing Fei was dumbfounded, is this still an old man in the twilight!
"It's a beast, run. In the distance, the little girl shouted anxiously at Jing Fei.
The vibration behind him became louder and louder, Jing Fei did not hesitate to take a step and ran, he was hungry and exhausted, he gasped after not running a few steps, the figures of the grandfather and grandson in front of him became smaller and smaller, and when he glanced back, he felt a chill on his back, it was a giant beast like a small mountain.
After stumbling, Jing Fei stumbled and fell to the ground, got up with his hands and feet and continued to run wildly. Even if you want to die, you have to say goodbye to Xi Ruodao first, in case there is really a god and a ghost, you can be with you on the Huangquan Road, this is Jing Fei's only thought at this time.
The intense exercise caused a severe lack of oxygen to the brain, and in a trance, he saw a glow rising in the distance, and the glow exploded in the air to form a red stamen.
The old man, who was as sturdy as a leopard, began to return at some point, kicking up a large cloud of sand and dust on the ground with every step he took. He came to Jing Fei and carried him up and ran, Jing Fei grabbed the old man's clothes tightly, and for a moment he felt very warm, as if lying on a velvet soft quilt, which was a feeling that can only be found with Xiruo, and the feeling of being cared for was intoxicating.
The old man's thick shoulders hit Jing Fei's stomach pouch, Jing Fei woke up from the warmth in an instant, and the violent shaking made him nauseous and uncomfortable, "You are a good person." After saying that, he spit out, and the pungent turbidity sprinkled all over the old man's placket, and the old man's face suddenly turned green.
This vomit made Jing Fei feel a lot more comfortable, as if venting the depression of the day. He turned his neck to pay attention to the movement behind him, it was a hideous-looking beast, three feet tall and more than eight feet long, its body was covered with sharp spikes, the bark of the tree was flying on the trunk of the tree that had been rubbed, the narrow head looked uncoordinated, and the crimson eyes flashed with cruelty and greed.
There was an explosion behind them, and the two of them were startled, and in the dust, Jing Fei saw that there was a five-foot pit where the old man had landed before, and then looked at the fierce beast, and a red tongue full of fleshy thorns retracted into his mouth like a poisonous snake.
"What the fuck is this monster. Jing Fei shouted loudly.
The old man didn't speak, but the speed of his feet became faster and faster.
Suddenly, the old man made a sharp turn, and his short body burrowed into the woods next to him, the soft rotten leaves unloaded his strength, Jing Fei obviously felt that the old man's speed had slowed down, but the old man seemed to be very experienced, picking a place where trees were dense, and his back was always facing the trunk of the tree during the gallop.
This method worked, the beast behind him became farther and farther away, and the sound of falling trees and angry roars could be heard in the distance, and after two or three miles of rapid travel, the old man carried Jing Fei out of the woods, and the sky suddenly opened up.
"Grandpa. Not far away, the old man's granddaughter got up from the grass and waved excitedly when she saw her grandfather appear.
"Let's go. The old man shouted in a low voice, and as he passed by his granddaughter, he picked it up and put it under his arm and continued to run.
"What was that? Jing Fei asked again, knowing that the little girl would tell him the answer.
"It is a third-order beast, with a body as hard as iron, a tongue with fleshy thorns, and it comes out in groups, and likes to eat human brains. The little girl replied.
"What, you said that there is more than one thing?" Jing Fei smiled helplessly, silently thinking in his heart God blessed.
"So when will we be safe. Jing Fei asked.
"Wait for the people of the Divine Protectorate to come to the rescue, or hide in the town. The little girl was also sad at this time.
The old man carried Jing Fei on his left shoulder and his granddaughter in his right arm and ran along the stream, the wind was whistling, and the trees on both sides were rapidly retreating, Jing Fei was curious about the identity of the old man, this was not the physical fitness that he should have in his original world.
"Hold on. The old man reminded in a low voice.
Jing Fei came back to his senses and saw that the road ahead was at the end, and the stream was rushing down from a high place.
The old man's figure stepped out step by step, making an eagle flying in the air, his legs curled up. At this moment, a sound of breaking the air behind him sounded, Jing Fei only felt a cold behind him and fell into the water, and after falling into the water, the old man dragged the two of them to the depths of the pool, and the pool water was cold.
Jing Fei felt the heat behind him, and through the cold water, he saw that the beast was hovering above the waterfall, its scarlet tongue against the surface of the water, as if looking for their trace.
No, this is the other end, and Jing Fei saw a hideous scar on the beast's forehead. Suddenly, a strong feeling of dizziness came, and the two eyelids seemed to be heavy.
In the dream, in the darkness, Jing Fei heard a piercing sound of breaking wind, then a rumbling sound in the distance, and finally a terrible scream echoed for a long time in the endless darkness... After being quiet for a long time, Jing Fei felt a delicate hand caressing his side face,
"Xiruo, is that you? Jing Fei asked softly.
