Chapter 49 The Seeds of the Flame Grass
Yolanda moved her lotus steps lightly and walked to the back of the hosting stage. She opened the thick parchment scroll on the stage, as if she was about to auction the first item tonight.
然而尤兰达却没有读出羊皮卷上的拍卖品名称,她把左手按在羊皮卷的第一页上,右手不断摩挲着木台上另一侧的水晶球,闭起双眼不声不响,只有长长的睫毛不断地轻轻抖动着.
台上台下落针可闻,所有人的目光都被尤兰达所吸引,因为人们不知道尤兰达现在的举动有什么意义,凤铁打了个哈欠小声咕哝了一句故弄玄虚后仰靠在软绵绵的椅子上舒服地伸了个懒腰,行为张扬跋扈的艾力达却出奇地放下了翘起的二郎腿,凝重地注视着尤兰达的一举一动.
羊皮卷开始散发出淡淡的银白色光芒,光芒像有了生命一般化成了许多细细的光束,缠绕在尤兰达晶莹的皓腕间向手臂上方蜿蜒爬行,光束踱过尤兰达的肩膀延伸到右手,在她的右手腕处重新汇聚并且缓缓注入到尤兰达右手掌下的水晶球中,在这里,尤兰达只是扮演了一个光的媒介的角色.
随着银白色光束的不断注入,水晶球光芒大盛,在球体的正上方投射出一个巨大的圆形空间,空间内隐约可以看到一幅幅流动的画面,真实得像来自另一个世界的影像.
After seeing this scene, Feng Tie suddenly bounced off the chair, grabbed the window frame and shouted: "Damn, isn't this production team playing open-air movies?"
凤铁的喊声在安静的广场上显得十分突兀,但是人们显然没有心情去和一个大惊小怪的乡巴佬一般见识,因为在场的所有人都被眼前的一幕深深地震撼了.
渐渐地,本有些模糊的影像开始变得清晰,这并不是简单的平面图像,而是在一个立体的空间内不断有真实的故事发生在人们眼前,最神奇的是从球体内甚至传出了潺潺的流水声和呼呼的风声,如同后世的3d电影一样,给人以最震撼的视觉听觉感受.
连绵的群山中一座直插霄汉的嶙峋主峰,山腰处便有浓云环绕,整个山体不断有雾气蒸腾,云雾飘动间隐约露出翠绿的山体,越往上看去,绿色愈加淡薄,直至完全消失,只剩下皑皑的白雪.
水晶球发出嗡嗡的声音,场景的距离快速拉近,山峰像倾倒了一样像人们奔袭而来,直到山坡上翠绿的树木和藤条毫发毕现,胆小的人已经吓得捂住了眼睛,凤铁甚至看见一片树叶上有一颗晶莹的水滴正沿着叶脉向下不停地滑动,水滴最后在叶尖稍作停顿,随即滚落下去.
The tip of the leaves kept shaking by the droplets, but Feng Tie's eyes followed down with the trajectory of the droplets sliding down.
"Yeah!"
The water dripped into the mouth of an old man in gray clothes. The old man closed his eyes and smacked his lips, as if he was savoring the sweet and clear smell. Then he grabbed the rattan growing along the crack of the rock and continued to climb upwards.
灰衣老者的后腰插着一把不起眼的柴刀,他的衣袖和裤腿高高挽起,露出精铁般坚硬的古铜色肢体,他的手背因为过度用力而青筋暴突,指甲多有残缺,指尖还残留着暗褐色的干涸血迹,加上衣衫的破洞和手臂小腿的划痕,可以看得出为了攀上这座山峰他经历了常人无法想象的艰难和辛苦.
When climbing to this height, the surface of the peak can no longer retain the soil covered by the surface. The huge mountain wind will blow away all the attachments on the cliffs. Only some unknown short trees pierce the roots into the cracks of the rocks and absorb barren nutrients, and survive.
Surprisingly, those mountain vines as dense as waterfalls seemed to emerge from the rocks. The green vines grew with dark red stripes in rings, and countless tiny fluffs were extended from the dry and hard surface. The tops of the fluffs kept moving like small mouths, absorbing the moisture that sustains life from the occasional floating clouds.
The old man in gray climbed up slowly, sometimes with danger, and a loose rock was broken on his feet, his body was hanging in the air, and he could only grab the vine with one hand. At this time, the people in the square squeezed a cold sweat for him and prayed silently for him in their hearts. Sometimes, he had enough strength to move upwards like a monkey, and his movements were like flowing clouds and water, and a burst of excited cheers would burst out from the crowd.
The influence in the space blurred again. Under the azure blue background, only large clouds kept floating by. When the clouds drifted away, the figure of the old man in gray appeared in everyone's sight again.
The old man in gray clothes had already stood on an open ground, and behind him was the stone cliff he had just climbed. The wind on the top of the mountain was strong, blowing the old man in gray clothes to make a sound. He stood there like a hero who had conquered the whole world and waited for worship.
From his perspective, there was a white ice and snow in front of him. There were endless red grass growing on the snow. The red grass had no stems, but the grass leaves were wide and narrow at the bottom, like a cluster of raging fire burning in this snowy wasteland.
The old man in gray slowly squatted down and reached out to pick a red elf. The leaves of the red grass were faintly revealed, and the tiny spikes at both ends of the grass leaves kept shaking like life, as if they were about to cut off the bondager in front of him and return to the embrace of the earth.
"Flame grass! It's Flame grass! There are so many!"
Many people in the square were already screaming, but the large number of rolling eyes that immediately attracted made these people close their mouths and continue to look at the development of the situation in the space.
The old man in gray pinched the blade of the flame grass with two fingers and looked at it, then put his hands behind his back and closed his eyes.
He seemed to be thinking about something, his expression on his face was very entangled, as if he was having a violent battle between heaven and man in his heart. Finally, the old man in gray suddenly opened his eyes, and his eyes were firm. He slowly took a step forward. This step was very heavy, but the subsequent relief made him let go of his concerns and drifted forward in this ocean of ice and fire.
"roar!"
A low roar stopped the old man in gray.
Anyone could hear the dissatisfaction and anger conveyed from the roar. The loud roar seemed to be coming from all directions, and then the roar became closer and closer, until a giant fell from the sky and landed in front of the old man in gray.
"Fire Dragon, Fire Dragon..."
Feng Tie murmured to himself with a dull look: "First I made a backcast to play the movie, and then I found that the villain was a fire-breathing dragon. Should I be the Smurfs make a guest appearance in a friendly manner? What kind of world is this?"
The giant figure is indeed an extremely huge Western fire-breathing dragon. Its head is like a cow, its short front paws, two thick hind legs that land, two huge wings separated by cartilage, milky white horizontal abdomen, red scales and black smoke emitted from its nostrils all deeply betrayed the identity of the monster.
The fire dragon raised its thick hind limbs and walked towards the old man in gray. The snow it trampled on was empty, but when its soles left the ground, a cluster of red grass leaves would quickly grow from the ice and snow. The fire dragon walked towards the old man in gray and grew lotus step by step.
The old man in gray retreated quickly, and he knew in his heart that the power of a legendary creature like Dragon was not something he could fight against by his own power, so escaping under such circumstances was not only not embarrassing, but rather a wise move.
Looking at the weak creature fleeing in front of him, the fire dragon stopped chasing, and a very human expression appeared on its face: contempt and proud.
Of course, Fire Dragon did not think of letting go of this hateful human who broke into his territory and disturbed his rest. He just passed a boring time with the mentality of playing with a cat and a mouse.
So the fire dragon sometimes chased, sometimes stopped and ate two bites of grass leaves on the ground. After chasing for a while, the fire dragon finally lost patience.
It no longer dragged its huge body and ran awkwardly. The fire dragon spread its wings and rolled up a strong airflow to soar into the sky. He stopped in the air and looked at the old man in gray who was sitting on the grass gasping for breath. He stood up his pupils and swam towards the old man in gray. The black smoke from its nostrils became thicker and thicker. When it was about to approach the old man in gray, the fire dragon opened its big mouth and a thick and hot flame sprayed at the old man in gray.
"roar!"
Another loud roar came from the fire dragon's mouth, and this time there was only anger and endless anger.
Because the fire dragon found that the flame he ejected had actually pounced on the air, the little animal it thought that it would definitely disappear in an instant, disappeared out of thin air.
The angry fire dragon soared into the sky again. It secretly vowed in its heart that it would capture this damn human who dared to tease it alive, and then slowly torture him to death, letting him know that disrespect for his powerful and noble race is a very unwise act.
However, as soon as the Fire Dragon flew off the ground, his flight trajectory came to an abrupt end.
The old man in gray appeared behind the Fire Dragon. He had already slapped his upper body and stabbed many dense spells with blue pigment patterns on his chest. Now he was using some method to activate the release of this spell. The strange symbols that constituted the spell kept peeling off his chest. Every time he lost a symbol, the old man in gray turned pale, and beads of sweat as big as beans kept rolling down from his forehead. It seemed that this spell was very physically consuming and mentally.
However, the attack power of this spell is obvious. The tail of the fire dragon was instantly frozen by a thick layer of ice. These ice cubes quickly spread along the tail of the fire dragon to its whole body. The ice layer continued to thicken. After wrapping the whole body of the fire dragon, a crystal ice chain wrapped around the whole body of the fire dragon. Many long spikes grew rapidly on the ice chain and stabbed into the body of the fire dragon.
The strange symbols on the old man in gray finally fell off. The old man in gray also sat on the ground with great force and sucked the cold and dry air into his lungs, then stood up and walked into the grass with a staggering stride.
“Hahahahahahahahahaha…”
After a moment, the old man in gray laughed to the sky, and even tears burst out from the corners of his eyes. He danced like crazy for a while, and then bounced the things in his hand into the air with force.
It was a fiery red bead with a diamond-shaped face, the size of a fist, and there seemed to be a flow of flames in the beads.
"I didn't expect that I really found it in my lifetime. I'm dead without regrets, and I'm dead without regrets! Ahem..."
The old man in gray was yelling excitedly with a burst of violent coughing, and a large stream of blood poured out from his mouth, flowing down his chin and neck to his clothes, belt, trousers and shoes, and finally soaked onto the ground. Clusters of already bright flame grass looked even more swaying and charming under the irrigation of blood.
The old man in gray took out a folded paper crane from his arms and stuffed the red beads into the claws of the paper crane.
"Go and take it back."
The paper crane seemed to understand the advice and commission of the old man in gray. The flat body instantly expanded into three-dimensional shape. It urged its wings to hover over the head of the old man in gray for a while, making a whine cry, and tightened the beads and threw them into the distance in a flash.
At this time, many cracks appeared on the thick ice layer of the sealed fire dragon, making a shattering sound. The fire dragon's eyes kept turning, accompanied by the shadows gradually disappearing in the paper crane emitted a light of extreme resentment.
"boom!"
"Crash!"
The fire dragon broke through the ice, and the ice chips in the sky flew down.
The fire dragon turned around and stared at the damn reptile in front of him who snatched his baby away, and a pungent smell of sulfur was emitted from his nostrils.
The old man in gray was not afraid, holding a hatchet in his hand and murmured to the fire dragon towards the distant mountains: "Go and take it back, but I can never go back."
