Yesterday's peace does not mean it will reappear tomorrow, which makes some people dare not close their eyes late at night. The dust-covered evil will eventually break the seal, and people's most desperate day always comes suddenly.
Central Plains·Wuzhen
It is the end of the Yin hour and the Mao hour has not yet arrived. The rooster that announced the dawn did not make a sound today. The extremely unusual fire light tore apart the night in the sky earlier than the sunlight.
Yun Musheng and Qiu Mingming hurriedly ran out of the inn, followed closely by Ma Qingfeng and Xiao Lingluo. The residents of the town were gradually awakened by the dazzling firelight.
The scene in front of them almost made everyone in Wuzhen think that they were having a common nightmare with everyone. At this time, the outside of the town was no longer a lush forest, but a sea of fire.
"The same day, the same day! Five years ago today, the fire ignited again on the same day this year!"
This scene once again made the people feel the despair they felt five years ago. That day, the fire in Wuzhen almost took the lives of all the people in the town. It was not stopped until it was suppressed by several strangers who arrived. , which has made Wuzhen prosperous to this day.
Thinking of those exorcists who just returned to the town yesterday, it was a coincidence. Maybe today, like five years ago, they can save Wuzhen from danger.
But real despair always comes again after people rekindle hope.
In the distance, at the entrance of Wuzhen, you can vaguely see several figures who escaped and returned. Their clothes were burned to pieces and their bodies were charred black.
Yun Musheng took a closer look and saw that the person who came was none other than Wanshiwuyixing. It seemed that Yun Musheng was not mistaken last night.
He hurriedly ran forward to support the crumbling Wanshiwu, and asked anxiously: "What's going on? Why did the forest burst into flames overnight?"
Wan Shiwu breathed heavily, and after a while he raised his head, his eyes full of unwillingness and regret. "I didn't tell you before because I was afraid of causing everyone to panic. In fact, today is the day when Lord Yama will break through the earth and be reborn."
"You said that the so-called evil thing in the forest is actually Lord Yan?!" Qiu Mingming on the side couldn't believe her ears. She had seen this in a book similar to a legendary biography. The deceased will eventually return to the underworld, and the so-called Lord of Hell is the underworld official in charge of the dead. There is one in different regions to control the life and death of people in different places.
No wonder even the monster in his body, which has been cultivated for more than a hundred years, is so afraid of this thing in the forest. But since it is as strong as Lord Yan, even though this group of exorcists are extremely tyrannical, they are only mortals after all, so how can they seal it? Then Yan Jun spent five years?
However, there was no time for Qiu Mingming to verify the answer to this question at this time. The fire outside the town was also burning brightly, and he did not know when it would spread in.
Wan Shiwu stepped forward and grabbed Yun Musheng and Ma Qingfeng tightly to walk out of the town, "Quick! Come with me, or it will be too late!"
Yun Musheng and his party were a little at a loss because of everything going on, but the people of Wuzhen behind them started to commotion when they saw it.
"Are they going to run away?"
"It seems that even Lord Wan can't save us this time, Wuzhen is going to perish!"
"Then why are you still standing there waiting for death? Run quickly!"
"..."
Having said that, a few brave ones took the lead in draping wet quilts on themselves and striding toward the main entrance. Perhaps because the scene was too complicated, a few of them probably didn't even listen to Wan Shiwu's words to stop them. clear.
The moment the two brave men walked out of Wuzhen wearing wet quilts, fire quickly surged up on them, and after a burst of fierce screams of pain, they all turned into ashes.
Wan Shiwu hurriedly stood up to take charge of the overall situation and said: "Fellows and fellow villagers, don't panic. This fire will not spread into the town for a while. When we return, we will definitely save everyone who is in the fire and water. Please give Wan a life again." Chance."
The people of Wuzhen met Mr. Wan, who had always treated them with faith. Even though the disaster was right in front of them, they still missed him. After all, if it weren't for him, this town would have ceased to exist five years ago.
After saying that, he took Yun Musheng and his party and ran towards the outside of the town. Unexpectedly, the fire was so fierce that even though this group of people were not residents of Wuzhen, they could not move even an inch.
There was a rapid sound of horse hooves, and a black figure vaguely appeared in the sea of fire, driving a carriage at a high speed.
"Hey, we haven't even reached Junting yet. Why did you mess up such a weird thing? Get in the car quickly!"
The person who came was none other than Mr. Ghost Cart, who came and went without a trace. Several people got on the carriage and followed Wan Shiwu's instructions and rushed all the way towards the wind chimes and peach blossoms in his mouth.
Along the way, Ma Qingfeng glanced at the driver from time to time. He always felt that he was very familiar, but he didn't think much about it. After all, the matter at hand seemed to be much bigger.
"What exactly is going on? Lord Wan, please tell me in detail." Yun Musheng and his group asked Wan Shiwu one after another.
Wan Shiwu sighed and replied: "The people here are not evil spirits, but the Fenghuo Yanjun who is stationed in the Central Plains. Five years ago, a man came to Wuzhen. He said he was from Ziri Pavilion and was trying to lure Wuzhen. People, get some kind of magnet from the mountain, but who knows that the magnet is actually from Hades, that man and the whole people of Wuzhen have touched the taboo of Hades and been cursed."
"But the man seemed to have other magical powers. He successfully washed away the curse and left with the magnet. Only the people of Wuzhen who were facing annihilation were left. That day, Wan gathered the power of the Five Elements Exorcist to seal the beacon fire Lord In five years, it is said that he has done something unnatural."
"Are the people of Wuzhen destined to die?" Yun Musheng asked unjustly.
Wan Shiwu could see the indignation in the young man's heart. Although he could not let go of the people of Wuzhen, he still answered rationally: "It's true that the people of Wuzhen ended up in this catastrophe because of their own interests." Disaster, that magnet is an important artifact that nourishes the borders of the Central Plains. Since it was stolen, the border areas around Zhenlao Pass have become barren of grass, which is why there are so many bandits and bandits."
After hearing this, Yun Musheng lowered her head and fell into confusion. She didn't know for a moment whether her move to save the people of Wuzhen was right or wrong.
"Then how can you, mere mortals, defeat that Lord Yan?" Qiu Mingming asked at the side.
"At the junction of the Central Plains and the mountains in the south of the Yangtze River, there is a place that gathers the essence of heaven and earth, as well as the aura of the three realms. People who pass the test can absorb the natural aura and become spirit exorcists. Even ordinary people who have not passed the test, such as Lu When girls come here, they can also cultivate themselves and recuperate. During the battle to seal Yama Jun that year, only Jinyan and I were left in the Five Elements. Fortunately, the Earth Element found Brother Shijiu, and the Fire Element found Miss Xiaokui, but there was still one missing. The wind moves.”
"So you want to take this last chance to see if we can pass the test and become the spirit exorcists, complementing your Five Elements Seal Lord Yama?" Qiu Mingming was astute and could tell the truth of Wan Shiwu's thoughts.
Wan Shiwu nodded, and then said respectfully to Mr. Guiche who was driving: "We only have one day. When the sun sets today, the fire will invade Wuzhen. Can you please hurry up?"
"Don't worry, kid, it's already the fastest. Five years ago, you went against the will of God to repay your kindness and saved this town. Although the people in Jie Yue will not interfere in this matter, my husband appreciates you very much. This time, I believe you can do the same."
