In the dark night, a white beam of light shot straight into the sky, with the Fire Land boundary as the dot, and the center reflected the land in all directions. The three thousand miles around were like daylight, and more and more people saw it, with pairs of eyes looking at it.
Seeing that white light reaching the sky, most of them were shocked and confused, while a small number of people were shocked at first and then turned to ecstasy.
Inside the Yanxi Wall of the Forbidden Land of Zhihuo.
The old patriarch looked at the light in the distance through the gap in his hand, with a look of horror on his face. It took him a long time to recover, and asked with a complex expression: "Where did Linglong go?"
"Linglong was taken away by her father. When we arrived, this kid was the only one left there." Chi Fang mentioned the fainted Lu Ming and asked: "Clan leader, what does that light represent?"
"...I don't know, but it's not a good sign,"
The old patriarch hesitated for a while, and finally shook his head, with a slightly complicated look on his face.
Then he took a look at the clothes and face of the unconscious Lu Ming, then bent over and groped around Lu Ming's body, found a jade pendant, picked it up and saw that the word "明" was engraved on it.
"Clan leader, who is he?"
Akakata asked again.
"Who is he? I still need to ask you? How do you Tongshan Group guard the forbidden area? It doesn't matter if Linglong broke into the forbidden area first, but now an outsider has entered our forbidden area!"
The old patriarch fumbled with his jade pendant, and after hearing these words, he scolded Chi Fang with his face covered in anger.
He was indeed a little angry. After all, it was a forbidden area that his family had guarded for five hundred years. It was ridiculous for outsiders to come in just as they were told.
"Clan leader, I will strictly check the clan members on duty tonight when I get back." Chifang felt a little embarrassed and immediately promised, "This situation will definitely not happen next time."
"Next time?"
"I'll go arrange the clan members on duty now!"
"Go quickly!" The old patriarch's anger subsided slightly and he nodded slightly. Then he carefully looked at the jade pendant in his hand. He frowned and thought for a long time but could not find a surname related to the clear character in his limited memory, so he had to give up.
"Take this kid to the dungeon and lock him up first. When he wakes up, we can interrogate him slowly."
The group of people carried Lu Ming, who had fainted, and walked down the mountain. Chi Fang was walking at the end, and told the clan leader that the number of people on duty outside the Yanxi Wall had more than doubled.
The old clan leader was relieved. Although there was nothing valuable in Weaving Fire, it was not a pleasant thing to have two intruders in the clan's forbidden area in one day.
He can't hold back his old face.
Just as I was thinking about it, suddenly a ray of light flashed in the distant sky again. Unlike the white pillar that soared into the sky just now, this ray of light was similar to fireworks, like a small stream of light. It suddenly exploded after flying to a certain position.
The sky was full of debris, so spectacular, and then a diamond-shaped crystal was left in the center, illuminating the Fireweaver Town below.
It was as if there was an eye in the sky, observing the location of the town below.
"Clan leader?" Chi Fang looked at the old patriarch again.
The Fire Weaver tribe members hardly interact with the outside world. Apart from him, the most knowledgeable person among the Fire Weaver tribe members here is the old tribe leader. If he doesn’t recognize that thing in the sky, he naturally has no choice but to ask for help from the old tribe leader.
"...Don't look at me, I don't know you either."
The old patriarch shook his head directly, and then pointed at Lu Ming, "Keep a close eye on this kid. He is obviously an outsider because of his clothes. Wait until he wakes up and question him carefully!"
"good!"
Chi Fang immediately called to the tribesmen around him, brought two ropes, and tied Lu Ming twice more.
…………
…………
The next day.
Next to the small town of Weaving Fire, green radish climbs all over the house, weaving the spring scenery. The small courtyard is full of vitality, exuding a primitive atmosphere of nature.
In the boudoir on the second floor, Huo Tuxin was standing in front of her daughter's bed, looking at Linglong, who had not yet woken up, with a sad face.
"Why."
The old father sighed first, feeling that life was not easy.
Now that my daughter is older, she is not as easy to do as she was when she was little.
When he was asked about his parents' past and couldn't answer, he actually chose to find the truth by himself, and ended up in this situation again.
And that kid last night,
By the way, what is the relationship between that boy and Linglong?
Huo Tuxin frowned and looked at his sleeping daughter, wandering outside the house, his face full of worry and sadness.
Really thinking about it,
The color of the person on the bed has recovered a lot, his face is rosy and white, his nose is slightly twitching, his eyelashes flashed slightly, and then disappeared quickly.
"..."
When Huo Tuxin looked at his daughter, he naturally saw all the movements clearly. He twitched the corner of his mouth and let out a cold snort. Then he picked up the bowl of noodles next to him expressionlessly, picked up the kuaizi and pressed it down.
of meat,
"Oh, this noodles is so delicious, oh my, it's so fragrant~"
"Oh, there's even Linsong Pork, tsk tsk, it's a pity that my daughter is asleep and can't eat it, so I can only eat it myself."
As Huo Tuxin said this, he was about to take away the rice bowl floating in front of Linglong.
"Dad~" Linglong couldn't pretend anymore. She stretched out her little hand from under the quilt and was about to grab the bowl, but Huo Tuxin, who had noticed it earlier, took it away.
"Hey, keep pretending and don't wake up. Girl, aren't you quite capable of sleeping?"
"Dad~ I know I was wrong~" Linglong twisted her smile, her mouth was dry, and she looked like she was asking for mercy, "Dad, you are the best~ You will forgive me, right?"
After saying that, he blinked.
"...You crazy girl."
Huo Tuxin was so angry that he couldn't bear to vent his anger with his daughter. He handed the bowl over and said, "Fill your stomach first. When you are full, you can explain it to me."
"What do you want me to explain?"
Linglong asked while eating noodles and holding a lake.
"Hey! You girl, why didn't you explain such a big thing to my father yesterday?" Huo Tu Xin was a little angry, "I mobilized all the people of Zhihuo to look for you, and you worry my father to death.
Already."
"But you, you didn't tell my mother what happened."
Linglong lowered her head slightly and whispered: "Every time I ask you, you always say that I am young and always make vague statements. I have to find the truth by myself."
Ever since Linglong could remember, she had always asked Huo Tu Xin about her mother. However, every time Huo Tu Xin asked this question, she seemed to be unable to explain it.
This time was no exception. The anger that had just risen suddenly subsided in an instant, showing remorse and self-reflection.
But he still looked unwilling to tell the truth.
There was a hint of panic deep in his eyes, as if even he himself hadn't figured out whether he should tell his daughter about her mother.
Linglong observed her father's slight expression, put the bowl aside at the right time, raised her little face and said seriously, "Dad, I have grown up, what do you still want to hide from me?"
"You do not understand."
Facing his daughter's question, Huo Tuxin still shook his head.
"Dad, I will definitely find the truth. Aren't you afraid that I will be in danger again?" Linglong used her trump card. If her father wasn't worried about her, he wouldn't have mobilized all the fire-weavers to look for her in the middle of the night.
Sure enough, Huo Tu Xin suddenly panicked, stood up, looked at Linglong and wanted to reprimand him loudly, but what he met was Linglong's tough and stubborn eyes, and then he felt a little soft-hearted.
Sighing slightly, Huo Tuxin sat down again. Linglong hoped that her father should tell her the truth at this time.
Huo Tuxin looked at his daughter carefully, then nodded slightly, walked to the corner of the room door, rummaged through a pile of items, and finally found a square brocade box and held it in his hand.
"Dad, what's in this?"
Linglong’s eyes showed curiosity.
Huo Tu Xin didn't show off. He removed the buttons of the box and showed the items inside to Linglong. A small emerald green rope tied to a piece of glass-like object lay quietly inside the box.
Huo Tu Xin carefully took out the necklace, his eyes were somewhat nostalgic, and while putting it on Linglong, he said softly: "When your mother and I met for the first time, she was wearing this necklace, and she told me to wear it until the last moment.
I leave the necklace to you."
"Now that you have grown up, it is time for this necklace to protect you instead of your mother."
"Well, Dad, I will definitely protect the necklace."
The fragmented object carried by the exquisite mold nodded slightly.
It's slightly cold in the hand, but it doesn't feel cold, and it's obviously a fragment-shaped object, but it doesn't have the sharp edge of a water chestnut, which is indeed a bit magical.
Linglong lowered her voice to explore the issue of the necklace and looked up at her father, her eyes full of curiosity and exploration.
Huo Tuxin looked at his girlfriend's expression, expressionless, and nodded slightly,
"Well, it's good if you know."
After saying that, he quickly cleared the bowls on the table and prepared to turn around and leave.
With quick eyes and quick hands, Linglong grabbed her father's arm and said blankly: "Dad, have you forgotten something?"
"What did I forget?" Huo Tuxin looked confused.
"..."
Linglong tightened her grip on her father, "Aren't we talking about mother?"
"...Oh, yes, that's what happened." Huo Tu Xin's face suddenly dawned upon hearing this, as if he was old and forgetful.
It doesn't matter what you say, the performance doesn't look like it at all.
At least Linglong was not confused by him. She stared wide-eyed and reminded: "Dad, you just said you were going to meet my mother. She is wearing a necklace."
"Well, yes, that's right." Huo Tuxin nodded.
"...What happened behind the scenes?" Linglong's eyes widened and she tried to suppress her anger, "What happened behind the scenes? How did you get to know each other...and my mother's affairs, and my affairs."
"What's behind? Something like that."
"Dad, you are cheating!"
"...cheating? Oh, I remembered."
Huo Tuxin slapped his forehead, and then thought of something. His face turned a little dark, and he frowned at his daughter, "You haven't told me yet, who was that boy yesterday? What is his relationship with you?"
"What boy?"
"...You don't know him?" Huo Tuxin's face softened slightly and his tone was relaxed.
Fortunately, my daughter was not deceived by the pretty boy.
"Oh, you mean Lu Ming?"
Linglong thought carefully for a while, and then recalled what happened last night. She remembered the cave, the fire demon after coming out, the pursuit, and what happened after Lu Ming blocked her. She couldn't help but feel anxious for a moment.
He asked hurriedly, "How is he? Is he injured?"
"..." This time it was Huo Tu Xin who started to widen his eyes.
Linglong looked at her father, stunned, and immediately frowned, "Dad, tell me, where is Lu Mingren? How was he when you found me?"
Huo Tuxin looked at his daughter's anxious expression with wide eyes. He clenched his teeth suddenly and made a crackling sound. For a long time, when Linglong was worried that his teeth were about to be broken, he slammed the bowl on the bowl and said angrily,
"Not dead yet, but soon!"
Linglong was startled: "What's so fast? Where is he injured?"
Huo Tuxin looked around, and finally saw his fire fang in the corner, reached out to pick it up, and went downstairs without hesitation, "I'm going to beat him to death now!"
exquisite:"……"
...
Just when Huo Tu Xin was furious and wanted to stab someone Lu to death with a fire fang, Lu Ming finally woke up leisurely in the dungeon.
It's actually not appropriate to call it a dungeon. Except that the door is guarded like a prison door, the layout inside doesn't look like a place for guarding prisoners at all.
The hut was filled with bamboo baskets, poles, straw hats... and other groceries commonly used in daily life. Lu Ming looked around and felt that this should be more like a utility room.
After all, he has never seen a window in any cell, so this is too humane.
Considering that Zhihuo does not communicate with the outside world all year round, it is understandable that there is no dedicated place for holding prisoners.
Lu Ming felt that a lot of strength had returned to his body. He looked at the trident-like fire fang weapons in the hands of the two Fireweavers outside and gave up the idea of breaking free from the rope and running away.
Head-on confrontation, disadvantageous!
Letting the enemy kill you will be disadvantageous!
Only...
Mr. Chen's words were still ringing in his ears. Lu Ming followed the teachings of his sages and decided to observe the environment first. There were clutter all around and nothing good to see. The amazing thing was that the skylight was not closed. He could see outside when he looked up.
Originally, the blue sky and white clouds were nothing to look at, but at this moment, there was a foreign object in the sky that was familiar yet unfamiliar to Lu Ming.
"That's... a hanging crystal."
Lu Ming narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling a little uncomfortable.
The hanging crystal is something similar to a signal flare, but unlike the signal flare, this thing can stay in the sky for several days, enough time to guide the people who release the hanging crystal in the correct direction.
the way.
The cost of making hanging crystals is extremely high, and the common people cannot afford them. Even businessmen have to be top-level rich people to acquire one with one or two assets.
Most of them still belong to various princes.
Zhiwei saw that from the 'humane' Zhi Huo, the prison cell knew that they didn't have the capital to get this thing.
Then it can only be released by outsiders. What is released outside represents two pieces of information. Someone who wants to guide people to Zhihuo must have an agenda.
What good intentions does Zhi Huo have if he is so poor?
"It's not like there's really nothing."
Lu Ming came back to his senses and thought of himself and the legend of the God Lord.
If the news of Mr. Suchuan's incognito visit leaks out, let alone Xuan Jing, I'm afraid it's really just the 18th princes coming.
"Is it because I am still the legend of the God Lord?"
Lu Ming frowned, unable to think of the reason.
At this time, the sound of conversation came from the gatekeeper outside the cell. Lu Ming looked up and saw an old man with a white beard wearing a fiery red robe walking in.
