Chapter 249: A Strange Night
As darkness approached, the daylight dimmed, the green forest around the vines faded away, and the darkness of the night was about to envelop the entire sky without warning.
In this vast wild mountain and wild forest, although there are beautiful mountains and rivers, clouds and mist peaks, but I don't know that this is only a scene of the day, and when the night comes, this scene changes, and the whole thing and scenery will lose its brilliance and vitality.
A thick fog and blood will come in the night, and the night will be filled with strange screams that will pierce the bones and shiver like the ghosts of demons in hell, and it will invade the whole land.
"Let's go, the things in this fog must be coming out", a middle-aged man shouted with a panicked expression, it is not difficult to see that his eyes are anxious, and he is very afraid of the things in this fog.
The middle-aged man shouted to everyone again: "Everyone put out the torches in their hands, follow the plank road, and quickly withdraw to the stone cave, and today's task will be canceled." ”
"The head of the house", a young man came forward and shouted: "But what about the things in that Yakou, we have to get close to him with great difficulty, and now evacuate, isn't it a great loss, you let me stay vigorously, go to find out, and bring the crying baby back, I am not afraid of the monster in the fog." ”
Speaking this young man's name is Ding Dali, straightforward, arrogant, full of fierceness and wildness, in the clan, everyone calls him Ding Dali, in the face of the order of the head of the family, he put forward a challenge, and now he is looking at the head of the family with anticipation.
The middle-aged man's eyes sharpened, and he said sharply: "Nonsense," and then changed his tone and said: "Ding Dali, you have to remember that no one can deal with this murderous monster, including you, don't retreat quickly." ”
As the head of the clan, the middle-aged man has a very high prestige in the clan, and his words are more respectful to everyone and dare not disobey.
The young man was not excluded, and in the face of the reprimand of the head of the family, he had to look aggrieved and join the evacuated crowd, but when he turned around, he looked at the direction of the mouth with a little unwillingness, shook his head, and disappeared into the crowd.
Seeing that everyone had retreated one after another, the middle-aged man's face was a little relaxed, but there was still a trace of melancholy on his face, the fog in the night was getting thicker and thicker, he looked in the direction of Nayakou, just sighed roguely, and said to himself: "May God bless you to escape this catastrophe." ”
At this time, an old man stepped forward and reminded: "Du Tian, listen." ”
The old man's temples were as silver as silver, with well-defined contours and sharp black eyes, like an eagle in the night, revealing an unstoppable strength.
At the suggestion of the old man, the middle-aged man and everyone vaguely heard the baby's cry, the sound came from the direction of the mouth, the immature cry seemed to be getting louder and louder, and everyone's faces became more and more dull, showing a trace of scoundrel, but they did not stop evacuating, because they knew very well how dangerous the things in the night were, and they also knew what was about to happen.
The middle-aged man turned around and shouted to everyone: "Everyone quickly retreat to the entrance of the stone cave and make an ambush for the time being, the monsters in the fog are about to haunt, and there is no time." ”
Then he turned to look at Yakou and sighed: "It's not that I, Du Tian, don't pity the common people and refuse to help, it's just that this monster is really cruel and no one can cure it, the old man has to focus on the overall situation, and I hope that you, the poor baby, can forgive and forgive. ”
After speaking, he turned to look at the old man and sighed, "Let's go." ”
The old man glanced back, as if he was slightly contemplative, but said nothing, turned around and followed the middle-aged man out of the plank road and towards the cave.
It turns out that this middle-aged man's name is Du Tian, he is the head of the Xuan clan, he has led the Xuan clan to resist demons in this Eastern Xuan Realm for decades, the Eastern Xuan Realm is vast and boundless, there is no end, but only the Xuan clan survives here, at least until now, it has not been found whether there are other tribes.
When was the Xuan clan born, no one knows, only knows that the times are long, and there are any strange people in the Xuan clan, it is the gathering place of all living beings, it is strange to say, there have always been evil spirits and monsters in the Xuan world, not legends, but facts, when night falls, as long as the fog is thick, it must be when this monster is infested, these fierce spirits and monsters devour all living beings, flooding the entire earth, but they are afraid of a boulder.
The boulder is engraved with a mysterious symbol, so that the monster in the night does not dare to approach, saying that it is a symbol but more like words, so far it is also a mystery, until the appearance of an old man, only to understand a little bit of the mystery of this symbol, the old man is nameless, white-haired crane, can understand the benevolence of heaven and earth, is a master of cultivation.
Under his leadership, there is the origin of the Xuan clan and the stone cave, and then the boulder comes from the east, and there is a name for the East Xuan Realm, and the old man has become the founder of the Xuan clan.
Therefore, the clansmen rely on this way of Xuanmen, temporarily able to deal with the monsters in the fog, but they have never been able to surrender it, but they can rely on the protection of the stone cave to pass it on from generation to generation, this middle-aged man Du Tian is the head of the family passed down from generation to generation by the Xuan people, specifically for several generations, he himself and the people in the clan have been blurred, but as the head of the family, he knows very well that the monster in the fog has to retreat to the stone cave first, and then wait for the opportunity.
The night with the stars turned lifeless in an instant, and such a solemn and tense atmosphere was not the first time for the people of the clan, but today, this heavy and complicated heart seemed to be engraved on everyone's faces, making everyone silent.
Not long after, under the leadership of Du Tian, everyone withdrew to the stone cave, and once Du Tian returned to the cave, he arranged for the good hands of the clan to guard the entrance of the cave in case of accidents. ”
Several young and strong young men led the way to the entrance of the cave, but a tall young man rushed to the front eagerly, and as soon as he took a few steps, he was shouted by Du Tian: "Ding Dali, you stay." ”
The young man who was stopped was Ding Dali before, and after being stopped by the head of the house, he scratched his head and walked back reluctantly, his eyes glancing out of the cave from time to time.
Ding Dali's face was full of depression, and he stepped forward and said: "Master of the family, you just let me Ding Dali go, I promise not to take half a step out of the stone cave, you let them go, let me be idle, I, I am tickling in my heart." ”
Du Tian glanced at him, and said without changing his face: "It's not that you won't let you go, you are impatient, the most willful, and you don't want to do things on weekdays, but today is different, I'm afraid that you will cause trouble, so you will treat me honestly, and wait for this wind to pass." ”
The head of the family, Du Tian, knew Ding Dali's character very well, and was afraid that he would be eager to make meritorious contributions and be able to do it for a while, so he went alone to save the baby at the mouth of the cliff, once something went wrong, how could he explain to the clansmen, as the head of the family, he had to think about it thoroughly.
The old man on the side was thoughtful, and he also came over and patted Ding Dali's shoulder and said: "The head of the family is right, now is the time for this monster to infest, everything will be arranged by the head of the family, and it is not good for anyone in the clan to have an accident, as for that..." ”
The three of them were silent for a while, and Du Tian and Ding Dali both knew the meaning of the old man's words.
In the silence, Ding Dali suddenly had an inexplicable sadness and indignation, he had a simple brain, although his personality was big, but he was honest and simple, he said excitedly to the old man: "Uncle Jishan, that's a living human life, we don't save it, we just watched him being eaten by monsters, you don't care, but I Ding Dali can't do it." ”
With a brute spirit, he turned around and walked out.
Seeing this situation, Du Tian hurriedly said, "You come back with me." ”
He turned to look at Ding Dali, who was being held in place by him, with a slight anger on his face, and said in a deep voice: "You think that only you Ding Dali have a good heart and can save people, other people's hearts are iron and stone, when do we say it doesn't matter, you are angry, you let me say that you Ding Dali is good, you can't change your temperament, don't give me back." ”
Ding Dali was speechless by what he said for a while, but listening to what he said just now, things took a turn for the better, Ding Dali scratched his head, and said with a smile: "What the head of the family said is that Ding Dali will change it in the future, and it will be changed," and then looked at the old man and said: "Uncle Ji Shan, just now Ding Dali didn't like what he said, he was reckless, and I ask Uncle Ji Shan to forgive me, you should treat Ding Dali as a rectum, and he is stubborn." ”
He said to the old man again: "Uncle Jishan, you are resourceful, there must be a way, right?"
The old man known as Ji Shan didn't have a big deal with this Ding Dali, but he was stopped by him for a while, and he didn't know where to answer, so he fell into contemplation again.
The head of the family on the side also revealed the light of inquiry to the old man, and frowned: "Master, there is a countermeasure." ”
Although Du Tian is responsible for the clansmen and takes into account the overall situation, but in the face of this humble life, he will not be saved, this is a sad hurdle in his heart, from the moment he heard the baby crying, in fact, his heart has already trembled, as if he has also paid attention, and when he returned to the cave, he ordered someone to guard the entrance of the cave, and let people monitor all the actions of the cliff mouth, which is to discuss this matter with the mage.
Facing the inquiry of the head of the family, the old man pondered: "Don't worry, the head of the house, I think the origin of this baby is not simple, it can fall intact into my East Xuan Realm, it must be a lot of creation, I think he will be able to turn evil into good fortune when he faces this monster, and escape this catastrophe, we still wait and see what happens, and wait for the opportunity to move. ”
Speaking of this, Ding Dali, with a lot of enthusiasm, stepped forward and shouted: "Yes, and I, Ding Dali, kill it first and leave no piece of armor." ”
Du Tian stared at Ding Dali, and said, "Don't be reckless, let the mage finish his words." ”
Ding Dali had no choice but to shut up and glared at the old man with wide eyes.
The old man said: "What the head of the family said is right, this operation must not be reckless, Ding Dali, you must remember that everything is only for the rescue of the child, and you must not be brave for a moment and ruin the big thing." ”
Ding Dali had to nod honestly, indicating that he had written it down.
