The second time when they heard this name, Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai reacted almost instantly, so they turned their heads at the same time and quickly shouted at Xie Run beside them: "Extinguish the fire!"
Originally, before being attacked, Xie Run went to the fire, but he never thought that he would be interrupted by Tian Wude. After he got rid of Tian Wude, he was a little shocked, so when he returned to the hall, he didn't remember the matter.
At this moment, after Sun and Huang reminded him, Xie Run suddenly realized that the crisis had not been resolved, and the troubles that the "Thunder Buji" in front of him would even be more dangerous than that of Tian Wu.
It was time to say that, but when Xie Run took a quick step, he rushed to the fire again, as if he was about to step on the fire directly with his feet.
However, when he stepped on the first step, something strange happened.
His feet didn't feel any hot, but instead felt cold, cold...
The biting chill ran from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, making him shudder.
He came back to his senses and looked closely and found that he was no longer in the main hall of Lanruo Temple, but was standing on the shore of the island in the middle of the lake.
The foot he stepped out was stepping on the cold river.
The wind blew, and the hazy sky above his head.
The rain is still falling.
He looked to his side and saw the wreckage of the small boat he had been riding in and... seven bodies.
The bodies were lying on a reef not far from the wreckage. Xie Run walked closer and took a look, and quickly recognized everyone's identity based on his clothes.
Out of caution, he checked the situation of these seven people again: the boatman's death seemed to be drowned, the head of the traveler who had never been able to claim his real name was separated, the doctor Tian Wu was broken in his heart and died, the scholar Kong Hengji was strangled to death by a rope, and Sun Yixie, Huang Donglai and Lei Buji were left with only a fresh human skin wrapped in white bones, and all the flesh, flesh, internal organs and liquid on his body disappeared.
After reading these, Xie Run's mind began to get confused again, and many doubts and a hint of fear occupied his thinking.
His reason told himself that these were hallucinations, but another voice in his mind seemed to say, "It's haunted here, but in fact, those people were dead when they got ashore, and you will soon be the same as them."
Xie Run...hesitated, hesitated because of fear, and stopped.
If he was usually aware of these chaos, he would definitely deny these gods and ghosts. Even if he was deceiving himself, he would give himself a "reasonable" explanation.
Then, out of chivalrous spirit in the world, he would return to Lanruo Temple again without hesitation to save the remaining few people.
But today, the things he experienced seem to have subverted his cognition... This makes him unable to convince himself anymore.
In this era when everyone believes in some ghosts and gods, Xie Run is also unavoidable, with more or less awe. This kind of psychology, in the current situation, becomes the source of fear.
Bang-
After a moment, Xie Run suddenly took action and slapped himself hard.
Nothing else, just because he feels that this kind of self is shameful.
"Damn it, why are you afraid of life and death of a real man? Even if there are really demons and evil spirits in this world, there is nothing to be afraid of. At worst, just fight with it to the death! If you retreat because of fear and live a life of silence, wouldn't it be a shame for me, Xie Run, the hero in this life?"
Xie Run shouted this fiercely there. Not to mention, it was very effective to use this method of talking to himself and slapping himself in the face to enhance his courage.
He mustered up the courage at that time and headed towards Lanruo Temple again.
…………
Let’s talk about the two ends, let’s take a little back to talk about the experiences of the other people.
Just now, the moment when Xie Run went to put out the fire, from the perspective of Sun Huang and the others and the scholar Kong Hengji, Xie Runke did not "disappear", nor did he show any sign of "move instantly".
In their eyes, after Xie Run stepped on her feet, she suddenly became lit like an alcohol cotton ball.
Immediately afterwards, "Xie Run", who was like a "fireman", ran out of the hall gate with screams, as if he wanted to run outside to extinguish the fire with the help of rain.
Unexpectedly... as soon as he ran out, he was poured out by the rain and immediately "breaked", and it was so broken that even the human figure no longer existed, turning into a pile of flying ashes residue.
"Hahaha..." After a breath, the fake Lei Buji smiled again and said, "Don't be afraid, you won't be the same as him. The 'master' has other arrangements for you."
"Oh?" Sun Yixie heard the keywords and immediately raised his eyebrows, "Hmph... It turns out that you are just an errand-runner. Let's talk about it, who is your master? Where did Buji go?"
"Hahahaha..." The fake Lei Buji laughed again, "Why should I say?" At this point, he suddenly turned his head 180 degrees, which was also an action that humans could not complete. "Do you really think that your skills in taking the kung fu can cause me any harm?"
"Oh~ buttocks!" Sun Yixi looked at the other party, exclaimed, and then said, "Mom... a monster, right?" As he spoke, he immediately winked at Huang Donglai.
Without verbal communication, Brother Huang also understood the brother’s intentions.
The next second, the two of them suddenly stood up and changed their vehement. One side of them clamped the left and right shoulders of the fake Lei Buji, and dragged it to the fire.
"What are you...you are going to do?" The fake Lei Buji panicked when he saw that he was going to be put on the fire.
"Haha! I'm scared, right?" Sun Yixie was panicked when she saw the other party, and suddenly felt excited. "Then answer my question quickly, otherwise..."
But the fake Lei Buji still refused to let go: "I...I can't say it. If I say it... the master will not let me go..."
"Ah? I can't tell you that your mouth is quite hard." Huang Donglai said again at this time, "This is forcing us to torture, right? I told you that if you want to deal with you, you don't have to throw you into the fire and burn it. Do you know? Just rubbing you on the edge of the flame... Right, it's not enough, but it can make you difficult..."
He didn't finish his words.
Because when he said the three words "can't point", the fake thunder do not dare... was caught.
This matter is really a monster. Sun and Huang and the others held him in their position, and they were indeed very close to the fire, but they did not let his body get fire. Who would have thought that this guy could get up even if he was a little distance away.
Moreover, the fake Lei Buji, like the "Xie Run" who was burned to ashes, instantly ignited his whole body, as if his whole body was flammable, which scared Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai to let go.
However, when the flames touched Sun and Huang, it seemed normal, and there was no instantaneous explosion. On the contrary, because their clothes were still a little wet and could not even burn, they would disappear after a few light pats on Mars.
Just as they were confused, the fake Lei Buji staggered and screamed and ran into the rain. After a few steps, he broke into ashes.
Seeing this, Sun and Huang looked at each other. After observing for a few seconds, they stepped out of the temple gate side by side and went to check the two pairs of residues together. As a result, when they looked closer, they found that there was something wrong with the ashes - this was not the ashes left by the "human body burning", but something else.
"Paper Man?" The two of them said these two words in unison.
At this moment, a strong man rushed in from the open temple gate at the other end of the yard.
That's not someone else, it's Xie Run.
The three of them met in the rain and were stunned for a moment.
Then Xie Runxian said, "You... are still alive?"
This issue has revealed a lot of information.
So Sun Yixie replied directly: "Ha... Although I don't know what you have seen just now, in the situation we saw here, Brother Xie, you have been burned to ashes just now."
"Oh?" Xie Run heard this, thought about it and understood, "Then are you okay?"
"It's okay." Huang Donglai replied, pointing at the two piles of ashes on the ground. "The two piles on the ground are fake, and the other is 'you'..." He said this and paused, "Also... to be honest, I can't be sure you are the real Brother Xie now."
"I understand." Xie Run nodded, "I can't be sure whether you two are real or hallucinating." At this point, he suddenly remembered something again, "By the way, what about the scholar?"
"Isn't he here..." Sun Yixie turned around and was about to say the word "inside", but found that at first glance, there was no one in the hall behind him.
when--
when--
when--
At this moment, the strange bell rang again.
The three of them were in a trance, and the scenery in front of them changed again.
However, this time, their position did not change, and the three of them were still standing in the front yard between the temple gate and the main hall.
What changes is the things around them...
At this time, when they looked at Lanruo Temple again, they saw that the courtyard was dilapidated, overgrown with weeds, mottled walls and spider webs were everywhere... It was very different from the brand new look they saw when they first came.
On the ground, Tian Wu's body was still there, and the two piles of residue were still the same. However, when they looked into the hall, they found that the corpse of the peddler... was no longer a "corpse".
The one who lay on the box was already a headless paper man the size of a real person; no wonder the "blood" flowed from his neck not only did not spray, but also flowed so slowly, because it was not blood at all, but the paste used by the paper man to paste. As for the head that fell to the ground, it was naturally just a paper ball.
In addition, the red flame on the pile of firewood has turned green at this moment...
…………
At the same time, on the upper reaches of the Xi River, a lonely boat.
A young man wearing a silver Taoist robe, holding a whisk, carrying a single sword on his back, and holding a big gourd on his waist was standing at the bow of the boat with a serious expression.
In his hand, he was holding a "small clock" the size of a teacup and a "clock hammer" that was a little larger than an ear-cutter. He had just knocked it three times.
Why is it called a "small clock" instead of a "bell", these two things are actually a little different: if there is a copper tongue or metal ball inside, it can be ringed by shaking itself, it is a bell; if it is hollow, it must be ringed with a bell hammer, it is a bell.
Of course, the division was not so strict later. The bells used in many places were also equipped with copper tongues, led by foreign churches.
But the Taoist priest is holding a "bell" in his hand, not a bell.
"Oh... I've been missing a day's journey, I'm late." The Taoist priest looked in his early twenties, but his tone of speaking was very mature. "If the saviors of Master Bai had any problems, I wouldn't be able to explain to my senior brother..." He breathed a sigh of relief and said nervously, "I hope I can catch up..."
…………
On the other side, the three people in the temple didn't know that the reinforcements were almost here.
They saw the drastic changes around them, and were still standing in the rain.
"No, right? Is it here..." The "here" Sun Yixie said at this moment does not mean "here", but "this world" or "the universe they traveled to", "... In addition to internal forces, there are even monsters?"
"It's hard to say..." Huang Donglai also continued, "But if you plan to the worst in everything... it's better to think it's stable."
"Well... Isn't that bad luck or bad luck?" Sun Yixie said again.
"Yes, I have to find a way to find him quickly." Huang Donglai said.
"By the way, I have to find that scholar." Xie Run also said, "In addition, since the body of the traveler was also made by paper people, maybe he is still alive?"
I have to say that Xie Run's heroic character is really good. No matter whether it is a person with a good attitude towards him or a bad attitude, as long as he is an innocent citizen, he can think of trying his best to save him.
"Yes, there is also that boatman." Huang Donglai said, "Although he has not entered Lanruo Temple, he cannot guarantee that the 'master' here will not attack him."
"The 'master' here?" Xie Run asked after hearing something she didn't know.
So, Sun and Huang told Xie Run about their experience just now, and Xie Run also briefly shared the hallucinations they saw.
The three of them stood in the rain and discussed it again, and decided to extinguish the "demon fire" first, because at present, the trigger of the hallucination must be directly related to the fire.
They learned to be smart this time. They didn't go into the hall door, nor did they consider "extinguishing". Instead, they found an old water tank in the front yard, carried it all up, and poured a tank of rainwater that had already accumulated inside directly from the entrance of the hall.
Xie Run did this job naturally.
The boy is a golden bell cover, with deep skills and great strength. It is a little bit like carrying a water tank full of water. If you want to compare it, the feeling of carrying that tank of water is similar to that of ordinary people who carry a cardboard box filled with about one cubic meter.
A full tank of water poured into it, and the fire was naturally extinguished.
If this is not destroyed, once the fire is extinguished, something happens again...
Just as the green flame was extinguished, the three of them heard a "pong" sound from behind, and the gate of Lanruo Temple... was closed.
Immediately afterwards, outside the towering courtyard wall, there were faint sounds of warriors and screams mixed with various wails and screams.
"This is not letting us leave..." Huang Donglai blurted out and said.
"Oh, we were going in anyway." Sun Yixie continued.
Chapter completed!
