Qin Sanjin turned pale with fright. He was just a child, but how could he turn into a ball of fire in the blink of an eye? He raised his feet and started running, but how could he be faster than the fireball?
When I saw that the situation was not good, I jumped over and blocked Qin Sanjin.
The next second, the fire brush reached my feet with a pull, and the flames spread to my feet instantly.
A burst of burning pain came, causing me to convulse. This was demon fire, which caused more damage to people than normal fire.
I was about to bite my finger and drip out my blood. Suddenly, the blood-red flame went out on its own after a few flashes.
My blood hasn't dripped yet, why did it go out?
When I looked again, I saw that the ball of fire had transformed into the child again. He stood up in a flash, staring at me with a pair of blood-red eyes, and said in a high-pitched voice: "You are not afraid of my earth fire?"
Said he turned around and ran.
I chased immediately.
Lao Hu shouted: "Boy, you have the power of heaven and earth in your body. His fire can't burn you. Grab him and don't let him escape."
Of course I couldn't let him run away.
However, after I chased him for a few steps, the kid made a move that surprised me.
He slammed his head to the ground and disappeared in a flash.
I was confused.
Lao Hu and Qin Sanjin were also confused.
"Escape from the Earth." Old Hu shouted.
The Earth Escape Technique, also known as the Five Elements Escape Technique, is the escape technique part of the Five Elements Escape Technique in the Tiangang Method. Among them, the Earth Escape Technique is based on the principle of freely traveling among the earth elements and using the earth to escape.
The most typical among them, and the one we are most familiar with, is Tu Xingsun in the list of gods. This person can plunge into the earth and escape at critical moments.
"It has blood eyes, can turn into fire, and can also escape from the earth. It seems that I guessed right. This thing is indeed a goblin."
We all turned to look at Lao Hu.
"What goblin?"
Lao Hu explained: "Goblin is the essence of the earth stone. To put it bluntly, it is a stone that cultivates under the ground and becomes an essence."
Afraid that we wouldn't understand, Lao Hu further explained it to us.
He said that all things in the world can be practiced, and they can be roughly divided into three types.
The first type is animals, such as Huhuangbailiuhui, because they are born with the talent for cultivation. As long as they work hard the day after tomorrow, they can cultivate to a large extent and become spirits, or even transcend tribulations and become immortals.
The second type is plants, such as trees. Although they cannot move, they are still alive. Some trees have been exposed to wind and rain for hundreds of years and have not fallen. They have become ancient trees and can be cultivated into tree spirits. We often say that old trees are This is the principle of becoming a spirit.
The third type is objects, which are inanimate things, such as stones. This is the most typical one. Even after thousands of years, stones are still immortal and extremely hard, so they have the potential to become spirits.
The Taishan Shigandang we are familiar with is a piece of stone that has been transformed into a spirit monster, nicknamed Shigandang. Writing the words "Taishan Shigandang" on a stone and placing it in front of the house can ensure the safety of the home.
If a stone is exposed to the wind and sun and absorbs the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the essence of the sun and the moon over thousands of years, it can give birth to a spiritual fetus. The most typical example is Sun Wukong in Journey to the West. Although it is a mythical story, it is not entirely nonsense.
Sun Wukong is the spiritual fetus of heaven and earth bred in a stone, absorbing at least ten thousand or even billions of years of heaven and earth spiritual energy, the essence of the sun and the moon.
That's why he was so powerful after he jumped out of the cracks in the rocks. He could reach heaven and escape from the earth. He burned in Taishang Laojun's alchemy furnace for seventy-seven and forty-nine days. Not only did he not die, he also survived. Burning out his fiery eyes.
It can be seen from this that once this stone becomes a spirit, it will be very powerful and can turn the world upside down.
Because it was too powerful, heaven cast a forbidden curse to prevent the stones between heaven and earth from becoming spirits, let alone giving birth to spiritual fetuses.
One Sun Wukong can turn the world upside down. If there are a few more, even God won't be able to bear it.
So from then on, very few stones between heaven and earth could become spirits. Even if they became spirits, they would at best be like Shi Gandang, an ordinary spirit monster, and would never become the great power destined by Sun Wukong.
But some stones are unwilling to give in. Why can animals and plants be cultivated to become spirits or even immortals, but stones cannot?
As a result, some stones gained spiritual consciousness and wisdom after absorbing a certain amount of spiritual energy from heaven and earth. In order to avoid the forbidden curse from heaven, they no longer practiced between heaven and earth, but escaped underground.
Although the earth energy in the underground is not as good as the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, over time, if you absorb more earth energy, you can become an earth immortal.
Known as goblins.
When Lao Hu said this, I suddenly realized.
"Are you saying that the child is a stone that escaped into the ground, absorbed the energy of the earth, practiced for many years, and became the essence of the earth stone?"
Lao Hu nodded.
"He can already transform into a human form. Although he is just a child, he is very good at it because he has blood pupils, which can spit fire and transform into fire. He also has superb escaping skills."
"If I'm not wrong, the two children that Old Dingtou secretly adopted in the basement should have become spirits from earth and stone, but their spiritual skills were very shallow. They were just able to turn into human form, but they happened to catch up with the demolition. Once demolished, The need to dig foundations to build houses will definitely have an impact on them, and in order to protect them, Old Dingtou resisted the demolition at the risk of his life."
"That is to say, there are three goblins in total, the two that Old Dingtou protected, and the child just now."
"Yes, that kid was a little more advanced, so he didn't die during the demolition. But for some reason, it took more than 20 years for him to come out for revenge."
"If we want to figure out the various reasons, I'm afraid the only way is to catch the child."
I'm worried.
That kid is a goblin. He can turn into fireballs and burn people to death. He can also move corpses behind his back to harm people. More importantly, he can escape.
How to catch this?
"No matter how strong things are, they all have weaknesses. Sun Wukong is very strong. Isn't he also afraid of the golden hoop curse? This goblin also has weaknesses."
"Can't he turn into a fireball? What is fire most afraid of?"
Qin Sanjin said: "Fire is afraid of water, but water can destroy it."
I said, "You're talking nonsense. That's ordinary fire you're talking about. The fire this child turned into is demon fire, goblin fire. Not only can't it be put out by water, not even a fire extinguisher can put it out."
Lao Hu said: "The fire extinguisher can't extinguish it, but your blood can extinguish it."
"Also, doesn't he know how to escape? Let's make sure he can't escape."
"Have you read the list of gods? Tu Xingcun can escape from the earth. Why was he caught in the end? That's because Yang Jian's master Ju Liusun used a move to turn the earth into steel. If you want to escape from the earth, I will point with my hand. , the ground has turned into steel, and you can’t get in, so isn’t that the end?”
"Only by grasping his weakness can you subdue him."
"But we are not afraid of leaving our grandson here. You and I don't know how to use the Earth Transformation Steel Technique, so how can we catch him?"
"Don't worry, the mountain man has his own clever plan. Okay, let's go back and rest tonight. He won't come again. We'll start decorating it early tomorrow morning."
Lao Hu pulled me aside and whispered: "Although I have a way, it mainly depends on you. Your blood can extinguish his fire, so you have to be prepared to bleed. In addition, if you break his spell, you will eventually have to do it." It’s up to you to catch him.”
"No problem." I was already a little eager to give it a try.
