Inner Demons

That is a camphor tree. The main body is one person holding the thickness, and it is more than ten meters high. Across several dozen meters and in flames, Sun Shaoping could only see its shadowy, slightly thicker branches. But even so, when unconsciously in a daze, he still counted the branches of the tree over and over again–

There were nine thick branches. Among the nine thick branches, there are 23 thinner ones. These branches bear leaves-some of the leaves are like steamed buns, and some are like bottle gourd. Also, it looks like Miss Su’s face and waist.

This big camphor tree was burned by the flames, and it has been burning for three hours-almost all night. Sun Shaoping also knows wood, and he knows that camphor trees are oily and burn slightly faster.

But the problem is…

His partner noticed his behavior. For a moment, then he got up nervously, thinking that he found the fire: “Shaoping, what’s the matter?”

Sun Shaoping frowned, thought for a while, and raised his fingers without looking back. To the camphor tree: “Look at the camphor tree.”

The partners looked there immediately. But I only saw the trees in the flames, and the trunks and branches were already dark-nothing unusual. So he asked him: “What’s wrong with Zhangzi?”

Sun Shaoping was silent for a while, his voice trembling a little: “Three hours ago, I saw it…There are nine big branches and 23 small ones. Branches… and those leaves. Until now, you can take a look again—”

Some partners have heard his words and went to look at the tree, but they still have no idea.

But there are already two wise men, after looking at the camphor tree again, their eyes widened.

Sun Shaoping took a deep breath. Although the air was so hot that he couldn’t breathe, his voice was chilly: “After burning for three hours, the leaf is still there…How long will this fire…burn?”

Everyone All dumbfounded.

……

……

There seems to be a mess outside. Even in their back home, Wusu and Lili could still hear the sorrow, fear, and fear of the people in Changzhi Town. The sound even overwhelmed the wind, so that they could slightly hear what the group of people were saying.

——Some people came to the house and questioned Yu Zhengfang.

Yu Zhengfang is the owner of the Yu family in Changzhi Town, a gentry and his like. The timber sales and the rules of money in the town are all through his hands. Although there is a leader in this town, it is Yu Zhengfang who actually speaks. He is in charge of the defense of Changzhi Town this time.

It’s just that I didn’t expect… things will turn out like this.

“Three hours…The leaves haven’t been burned out, Young Master.” Lili inquired back from the front and didn’t seem to know what to say. She stood at the door holding the door frame, watching Wu Su undressing Yu Meng and untying his hair, “Young Master, isn’t this a barbecue? If this fire burns for a few days or ten days-this The temperature is getting higher and higher…Didn’t the people in the town become a slate barbecue…Slowly they will be cooked! There is no way to escape!”

I combed my hair with a wooden comb. When Li Li finished speaking, he turned his head and asked: “Walk down the river? Isn’t there a boat?”

“I just went to the river to see it too!” Li Li closed the door and walked to it. At the table, lift the teapot. The air is getting drier and drier. It’s autumn, but it’s hot like a dog’s day. “I don’t know what’s weird. The river is obviously not on fire, but it’s hotter than the town. Guess what…the fish are all coming up. …I’m familiar with it! Where can I go on a boat like this? The small sampan here is not our house boat. They carried people on the waterway, and they are familiar with them within a few feet of distance!”

She said this and poured tea from the pot to drink. I frowned when I took a sip—the tea was too cold at this time a few days ago. Now the tea is warm, as if it had just been scalded. After drinking a cup, she couldn’t get rid of the heat, so she unbuttoned two buttons on her dress and sat.

Wusu saw her like this, looked at her, and looked at Yu Meng.

Yu Meng laughed: “It won’t be enough if it’s cooked. The fire and temperature will continue to burn, but there are three things ahead. One thing is which one accidentally lights the house. Or the house itself was roasted. So there is a fire sea in the town.”

“The other thing… is to burn fire poison. You have all heard of-who in winter I started a fire in the room to keep warm. As a result, fire poison was burned out, and everyone in the room was poisoned to death. Although Changzhi Town was big, the fire was even bigger. I was surrounded and burned for a few days…The toxicity is also terrifying.”

He stretched out his arms when he said this. So Wusu put on his pajamas and helped him to lie down.

Li Li was anxious: “Young Master, what about the third thing?”

Yu Meng lay down and closed his eyes to think about it: “The third thing. I guess… has happened. Do you know who lived in this Hulu Mansion near Changzhi Town?”

Wusu picked up a fan and wiped his forehead with a small handkerchief. Xihan, then lightly fanned Yu Meng: “Where do we know it.”

“The Hulu of Hulu Mansion should have been pronounced’Huer Hunlun’. This is a vernacular translation. The meanings of’Huren’ and’Yu Yi’-both transliteration and paraphrase, they are regarded as Xinyada. But Huer Hunlun originally refers to a group of nomads who lived in this generation before, and they are’people on forests and black rocks’ Meaning.”

“The Turan of the Turan River is also the words of the Huerhunun people. Turan means Heishi. Turan River is actually Heishihe.” Yu Mengdi Sighed low, “Guess why this river is called the Heishi River, and you know why the river is extremely hot.”

Wusu paused for Yu Meng’s hand to fan, and then Lili glanced at each other—the two girls had acted serene before then. But now their eyes also showed a little panic…

They knew what Black Stone was.

Once in the autumn and winter, Yu’s family transported the Black Rock in carts. The Earth Dragon is placed underground in the big house of Yu’s house. [Note 1]-Ordinary people use firewood to warm the Earth Dragon, but Yu’s family uses black stone. The thing was dug out from the ground, and a nail-sized piece was worth a good dry wood. It didn’t taste much, and it felt very smooth-just like colored glaze or jade stone.

When an open flame is encountered, it is difficult to ignite. You have to smoulder it with wood fire and burn it for a long time before it can be done. But once it’s on, a black stone the size of a fingernail can burn for a whole day!

And now the Turan River means Heishihe…

Lili suddenly jumped up, as if there was something terrifying underground. Her small face was pale, and she pointed her fingers at the ground: “Young Master, you, you, you, you mean the bottom of the river…Is there all black rocks under the ground?! Black rocks like gold mines, silver mines, and copper mines?! Young Master, how did you know?”

Yu Meng opened half of his eyes on the bed and looked at her: “Don’t be afraid…it’s different from our house. There are black rocks in the ground, but they are deeply buried. Keeping…I was stuffed with mud and sand, a few days of work was fine. Just to say… the fire on the ground was burning fiercely, maybe it burned down the cracks in the ground. The whole piece of black stone was lit on the ground. It’s smoldering underneath–“

“Probably the heavens and humans are hard to fight.” He seemed to slowly get sleepy, closed his eyes and yawned, “Look at the way the Turan River looks. The underground black stone is already there. You two are really uneasy…Take me next to…that talisman…Look…tomorrow…”

He yawned as he said, People fell asleep before the words were finished.

Wusu and Lili were stunned for a while-then like two frightened rabbits with very light movements, they silently rushed to the clothes next to the bed. Brought it. After walking around the corners of the clothes, familiarly found a white silk bag sewn on. Then I tore off the white silk bag and opened it——

I saw a purple talisman written in gold powder inside.

The two girls only felt a little relieved.

Wusu and Lili put the talisman away, then quietly turned off the lights, exited and closed the door.

The hot wind rushed over—and the cry of those in the front yard. It seems that Yu Zhengfang has not been able to comfort them well, and the trouble is getting worse now.

Indeed… I found that the fire might burn for a few days, ten days, or even a month, and so many people are trapped here with nowhere but to die, how can they not be in a hurry? I knew this… it would be better to leave your family and run away, and you can live a few more days without being roasted, suffocated, thirst, or burned alive!

It is precisely because of the former choice that now seems to be regrettable… that kind of sadness and panic, it exploded more and more violently.

But panic and sadness are theirs. Wusu and Lili held the purple talisman in their arms, but their minds were much settled.

This is a symbol that Lord left for Young Master when he was alive. It is said that it was written by the Daoist in the unified position-it can save lives at critical times.

The house was extinguished sect on that day, and it was not used at that time, which shows how precious it is. Young Master also mentioned this talisman. It is said that once the fire is taken out, the fire cannot be burned and the water cannot be splashed in. Even in the thunder-fire, it can come and go freely. It’s just that… it can’t save everyone in this town, it can only protect their three people.

But…

“Young Master has changed his personality. Why did you have to come to Changzhi Town, why didn’t you leave… Don’t say it.” Wusu lightly exhaled , Took out her little sword from her coat and held it in her arms.

They experienced the appearance of extinguishing sect at home. When Akatsuki gets the end, many people will do many terrifying things.

Her Young Master has also changed-used to be stupid, but they all know that Young Master is not really stupid. After the Yu family died, the Young Master didn’t pretend to be stupid—take them to the north. When I walked to Changzhi Town to live there, he said that he was waiting for his Master Lu Gongjiao and that he had made an appointment many years ago.

I don’t know what to wait.

Her Young Master is getting smarter day by day and knows more and more things. This looks like Gods Vestige displayed by a fairy in their eyes. They should have been happy…but they always feel that Young Master is getting more and more strange.

It seems that one day, it will suddenly go away.

Lili also accompanied the elder sister sighed: “Young Master, who is he…?!”

After talking halfway through, suddenly he let out a deep and sighed cry-fierce The ground turned his head to look at the wall.

There is a silhouette on the wall, only half of his head is exposed. She seemed shocked by her drink, and hurriedly retracted. Wusu and Lili stood up immediately. Wusu guarded the door, Lili held the unsheathed sword in his hand and walked slowly down the wall.

This wall is not the wall of Yu’s family in their Weicheng city-along the way, the city walls of many small cities are not as thick and tall as Yu’s courtyard wall. So the man seemed to climb easily…changed his breath and poked his head out again.

It turned out to be a teenager.

Li Li saw him for a while. Because I feel a little familiar, it seems to be the “child” in the town-although this boy is as old as her, in her eyes… it’s really like a child that’s all.

“…Little elder sister, it’s not good outside!” The young man squatted on the wall for a long time before uttering such a sentence. Then he raised his hand and wiped his face, “It’s going to burn… The fire is not good! You… Do you want to run with me!” Lili was stunned and turned to look at Wusu. .

The Young Lady looked at each other for a while, and Lili suddenly laughed lightly.

——Sun Shaoping at the top of the wall saw her smile… For a moment, I felt that the entire world suddenly cooled down. And the fire, wind, and human voices were gone.

Then he saw Li Li holding a cute little sword with a sheath in his hand, pacing Feng Yi’s elegant steps. The hem of Lake Green’s skirt swayed like waves, revealing two pairs of flashy white embroidered shoes. Turning around and tilting his head to look at him: “Why do you want to save us? How do you escape?”

Sun Shaoping felt fiercely hit by something warm, hot, and soft in his heart. He was stunned for three breaths, and the terrifying and sweet throbbing gradually disappeared… He became flustered again. He didn’t even dare to look directly at Li Li’s bright eyes-he had to avoid his eyes and look at her skirt: “I…nor…ah, you are from a daughter’s house… , Must have suffered a lot… well… there is a boat by the river, you can escape by boat…”

Lili giggled: “What about my Young Master?”

p>

Sun Shaoping lifts the head abruptly, wanting to say “Who is in charge of your tyrannically abused power pretty boy Young Master”. But when the words came to my lips, he was busy with it, hesitated for a moment, and said: “Your Young Master…take it with you too—”

Li Li smiled again. While smiling like a silver bell, he turned and walked toward the house: “Well, Little Elder Brother-we won’t run away. You, let’s ask for more blessings.”

Sun Shaoping’s heart, It suddenly sank to the bottom of his stomach-it made his chest hurt, and it seemed that his breathing would suddenly hurt. He looked disappointedly at Li Li’s back, and finally shouted again: “It’s really going to die!”

But Li Li ignored him anymore—she sat back on the stone at the door. On the steps, holding a small sword, next to her elder sister.

Sun Shaoping gritted his teeth and suddenly wanted to jump into the yard. But at this moment, I suddenly heard a high-pitched, sharp cry–

It was a woman’s voice, which pierced the night sky, wind, and fire, and hit Sun Shaoping’s heart. He was stunned for a while before he realized the content of the call–

“It’s gone.”

The first house in Changzhi Town burned. But it was not the house near the fire that people were worried about, but a wood house in the town.

Before this, desperate people gathered at home to vent their emotions, and there was a hot breeze roaring between the streets and houses on this day, so they did not notice that the ground was smoking. Green smoke emerged from the gap in the stone pavement and was blown away by the wind.

At this time…Finally a house that had been blown extremely dry was ignited.

Yu Meng’s prophecy came true. earth fire … was hooked up by the wildfire.

Next are the adjacent second and third buildings. Once terrifying worries become a reality, crazy and desperate people will settle down—ignoring it will soon die. Go to the fire, maybe you can live a little longer. So they quickly swarmed out from Yu’s house, as if seizing some vitality, to save the three houses that were on fire.

Unfortunately, it does not stop there. Before the fires of the three wood houses were brought under control, two large houses burned to the west of the town.

Outside the town, there is a soaring fire sea. At this moment, the town is about to become a fire sea!

Wusu and Lili saw the fire in the town, immediately stood up and entered the house, and would wake up. Waiting for him to get dressed, walked out of the house, and leaped over to the wall of Yu’s house to see–

This Changzhi Town…Half of it was already in flames.

The fire light shines their faces brightly. Therefore, I saw someone running towards the Turan River from a distance-plunged in, trying to swim. But then came a terrifying cry. The river water hidden in the white mist has already boiled, and in an instant it will burn people blind, dizzy, and burn to death.

Seeing such a scene, more than a dozen people who were planning to board the boat and go along the river stopped their steps, and began to cry in panic like a stray dog.

Li Li slightly looked at it carefully—but didn’t see the boy.

Others are still fighting the fire. However, it wasn’t for vitality anymore, it seemed that because I didn’t know what to do when I died… I had to do this. The fire spread quickly, some people were engulfed by flames, and some people were on fire running around in the street. This Changzhi Town was like working with a common purpose and overcoming difficulties four hours ago. But now… it turned out to be like flame hell.

Finally, the surviving fifty-sixty people rushed to the wall of Yu’s house-it seemed that they saw the three people standing on the wall, and didn’t know why, so they ran over. But there is nothing to do when I come over. The fire on both sides burned more and more… These people shrank under the wall in despair, and burst out crying of heaven-shaking, earth-shattering.

Wusu and Lili looked at the people under the wall, listened to the cry, turned their faces unbearably-Lili saw that the boy was among them. He seemed to want to cry too, but he looked up at Lili, his cheeks bitten tightly, and an empty wooden barrel in his hand.

Yu Meng sighed: “Use that symbol.”

——The three of their masters and servants…will watch dozens of people on this wall be burned alive, but There is nothing to do.

So Wusu put her hand into her arms, and she touched the purple talisman.

But at this moment…they, as well as the people crying under this wall, suddenly heard the “clanging” of iron cables.

Cry, wind, fire, house collapse. Among these huge sounds, the sound of “iron rope hitting” should not have been heard. But it is strange that at this moment, that faint but clear voice actually got into everyone’s ear…

It rang.

It seemed that there was a pair of invisible big hands strangling everyone’s throats, and the dying residents of Changzhi Town all closed their voices and went straight to the bluestone slab that had been engulfed by flames in the distance. Look past on the road.

So I saw something more terrifying than death.

That’s…

“…Yin Soldier borrowed it…” An old man whose hair and beard were burnt and groaned with great fear Plausibly.

In the face of death—the fear of death burned by flames, they despair, cry and vent. But at this moment… when faced with another kind of terrifying power that they would never understand, the terrifying power brought great fear… even the crying and desperate thoughts were frozen!

There are terrifying ghosts, walking along the green stone pavement that has been burned to red, from the raging flames!

——There is a terrifying head. All kinds of heads.

Human heads, dog heads, tiger heads, deer heads, bear heads-the heads of wild beasts that the residents of Changzhi Town have seen or have not seen-floated ethereally in the air, staring at the hollow Godless eyes, keeping their terrifying look before death, walked over.

These… are ghosts. Their heads still looked like, but their bodies were so pale that they couldn’t see clearly. The long, green iron cable locked their necks and strung them into a string. Their pace is the same again. In such a night, it is a kind of terrifying “tidy” that makes people chill. Every time you take a step, the iron cable crash-bang.

Every time the iron rope rang, the flames where they passed by suddenly dimmed-turned into a green Ghost Fire.

Sound and light are absorbed wherever you go. There were also the corpses of the townspeople lying on the side who had just been burned to death. As soon as the group of ghosts passed by, the ghosts of townspeople who were face looks sinister terrifying stood up straight. It was locked by the iron rope that came out again-pulled into the team.

The suffocation caused by fear grabbed everyone-including Wusu and Lili.

They widened their eyes and held their breath, subconsciously trying to hide behind Yu Meng. However, once this idea was born, I found that I didn’t even have the strength to move!

Then… these people who were facing death saw a white clothed person also coming out of the flames.

What he holds in his hand is the tightly packed chain that locks hundreds of dead souls densely-he is like a shepherd wandering in the red or green wilderness, with no sympathy Walk along and harvest all the dead souls along the way.

When I saw him, the old man in the crowd opened his eyes again, and with his throat choked by despair and fear, he managed to squeeze out a few words that were hoarse and not like a human voice— —

“It’s…Bai Yanjun…Lord…”

“We…are all…dead…are you…”

However, after these words, the white clothed man stopped. So the terrifying ghosts also stopped.

People in Changzhi Town can see the face of Bai Yanjun clearly.

——They never thought… Bai Yanjun was actually like this.

But the “Yan Jun”-Yan Jun who was originally expressionless, suddenly smiled after looking at the wall on their side.

“Jun Yan?”

“I am not Jun Jun.”

“I am the Dragon King of Weishui.”

[Note 1]: Earth Dragon-an ancient way of heating. Reserve Fire Dao underground, and Fire Dao has openings on the ground. It burns outside, and the heat flows into the house through Fire Dao, which is called “Earth Dragon”. The principle is the same as “Huo Kang”.
