Unparalleled Double Harmony

Chapter 107 Breaking the "Art"

Hearing this name for the second time, Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai almost reacted instantly, so they turned their heads at the same time, and quickly shouted at Xie Run who was beside him: "Extinguish the fire!"

Originally, before encountering the sneak attack, Xie Run ran towards the fire, but he was interrupted by Tian Wude, and after finishing Tian Wude, he was still in shock, so when he returned to the hall I didn't think of it again for a while.

At this moment, after being reminded by the two of Sun and Huang, Xie Run suddenly realized that the crisis has not been resolved, and the trouble that "Lei Buji" in front of him will bring is even more dangerous than that of Tian Wude.

It was too late to say it, but when Xie Run took a stride, he ran towards the fire again, as if he was going to crush the fire with his feet.

However, when he stepped on it for the first time, something strange happened.

His feet didn't feel hot, on the contrary they felt cold, icy cold...

The biting chill ran all the way from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, making his whole body shiver.

He came back to his senses again, took a closer look, 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 of was stepping on the icy river.

The wind was blowing, and above his head was a cloudy sky.

It's raining. It's still falling.

He looked to his side and saw the wreckage of the boat he was on earlier, and... seven corpses.

Those corpses were lying on a reef not far from the wreckage. Xie Run took a few steps closer to look at them, and quickly recognized everyone's identity by their clothes.

Out of caution, he checked the conditions of these seven people again: the death of the boatman seemed to be drowned, the traveler who still failed to give his real name was separated, the doctor Tian Wude had his heart broken to death, The scholar Kong Hengji was strangled to death with a rope, while Sun Yixie, Huang Donglai and Lei Buji were left with only a piece of fresh human skin wrapped in white bones, and all the flesh, internal organs and liquids on their bodies disappeared.

After reading these, Xie Run's mind began to be confused again, many doubts and a trace of fear occupied his thoughts.

His reason told himself that these were all hallucinations, but another voice in his head seemed to say, "This place is haunted. In fact, those people were dead when they came ashore, and you will be like them soon."

Xie Run... hesitated, hesitated because of fear, and stopped.

If it were him in normal times, he would firmly deny these gods and ghosts, even if he was deceiving himself and others, he would give himself a "reasonable" explanation.

Then, out of chivalry, he would return to Lanruo Temple without hesitation to save the few remaining people.

But today, the things he experienced seem to have overturned his cognition... This made him unable to convince himself any more.

In this era where everyone believes in ghosts and gods, Xie Run is also unavoidable, more or less with a sense of awe, and this kind of psychology, in the current situation, has become the source of fear.

Snapped--

A moment later, Xie Run made a sudden move and slapped himself hard.

Not for anything else, just because he felt ashamed of himself like this.

"Damn it, why should a man be afraid of life and death? Even if there are demons and evil spirits in this world, there is nothing to be afraid of. At worst, you can fight to the death with them! If you retreat out of fear and just live on, wouldn't you be dishonoring me, Xie Run, a hero in this life? ?”

Xie Run yelled out those words fiercely, not to mention, using this method of talking to himself and slapping himself to build up his courage is quite effective...

He mustered up his courage at that time, and headed in the direction of Lanruo Temple again.

…………

The story is divided into two parts, let's go back in time a little bit and talk about the experiences of several other people.

Just now, at the moment when Xie Run went to put out the fire, from the perspective of Sun Huang and the scholar Kong Hengji, Xie Runke did not "disappear", and there was no sign of "teleportation".

In their eyes, after Xie Run stepped on that foot, his whole body was suddenly set on fire like an alcohol cotton ball.

Immediately afterwards, the "Xie Run" who was like a "Fire Man" screamed and ran out of the palace gate, as if he wanted to run outside to use the rain to extinguish the fire.

Unexpectedly... just as he ran out, he was immediately "shattered" by the rainwater, and he was so shattered that he no longer had a human figure, and turned into a pile of fly ash residue.

"Hehehe..." After a breath, the fake Lei Buji said with a sinister smile, "Don't be afraid, you won't be like him, the 'Master' has other arrangements for you."

"Oh?" Sun Yixie raised his eyebrows immediately when he heard the key words, "Huh... so you are just an errand boy, so tell me, who is your master? Where did you get Buji? "

"Hahahaha..." The fake Lei Buji laughed again, "Why should I say that?" At this point, he suddenly turned his head 180 degrees, which is also the kind of action that is impossible for humans, "You really Do you think that your grasping skills can cause any harm to me?"

"Oh~jiri!" Sun Yixie looked at the other party, exclaimed, and then said, "Damn... a monster, right?" As he spoke, he immediately winked at Huang Donglai.

Brother Huang also understood his brother's intentions without verbal communication.

The next second, the two of them suddenly got up and changed their posture. One of them grabbed the fake Lei Buji's left and right shoulders respectively, and dragged him to the side of the fire.

"You...what are you going to do?" The fake Lei Buji panicked when he saw that he was about to be roasted on the fire.

"Haha! Are you scared?" Seeing that the other party panicked, Sun Yixie immediately became energetic, "Then answer my question quickly, or..."

But the fake Lei Buji still didn't let go: "I...I can't say it, if I say it...Master, he won't let me go..."

"Ah? I can't see that you are quite stubborn." Huang Donglai said again at this time, "Is this forcing us to perform punishment? Let me tell you, if you want to mess with you, you don't have to throw you into the fire. No? Just rubbing you on the edge of the flame... right, it won't light you up, but it can make you hard..."

He didn't finish his sentence.

Because when he said the three words "can't catch", that fake Lei Buji... caught fire.

This thing is really a monster. The two Sun and Huang held his position, and they were indeed very close to the fire, but they didn't let his body rub against the flames. Who would have thought that this guy could catch fire even with a little distance. stand up.

And this fake Lei Buji, just like the "Xie Run" who was burned to ashes just now, his whole body ignited instantly, as if his whole body was inflammable, scaring Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai to let go quickly.

However, when the flames touched Sun and Huang's bodies, they seemed normal, and there was no instant combustion or deflagration. On the contrary, because their clothes were still a little wet, they couldn't even burn them. Take two shots and the Mars will be gone.

Just when they were wondering, the fake Lei Buji also staggered and screamed and ran into the rain, and after a few steps, he was also shattered into ashes.

Seeing this, Sun and Huang looked at each other in blank dismay, and 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 on guard. When they got closer, they found that there was something wrong with the ashes—— It's not the kind of ash that "Human Combustion" would leave behind, but something else.

"Paper man?" The two said these two words in unison.

At this moment, at the other end of the courtyard, outside the open gate of the temple, a strong man rushed in.

It was none other than Xie Run.

The three of them met each other in the rain and were stunned for a moment.

Immediately, Xie Run first said, "Are you... still alive?"

A lot of information has been revealed on this question.

So Sun Yixie replied directly: "Heh... Although I don't know what you saw just now, Brother Xie, but in the situation we saw here, Brother Xie, you have been burned to ashes just now."

"Oh?" Xie Run heard it, thought about it, and understood, "Then are you all right?"

"It's okay." Huang Donglai replied, pointing to the two piles of ashes on the ground, "The two piles on the ground, one pile is fake, and the other pile is 'you'..." He paused when he said this Dun, "Also... To be honest, I'm not sure that you are the real Brother Xie."

"Understood." Xie Run nodded, "I'm not sure if you two are real or a hallucination." Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered something, "By the way, where is the scholar?"

"Isn't he right here..." Sun Yixie turned his head, just about to say the word "inside", but he found that there was no one in the hall behind him at a glance.

when--

when--

when--

At this moment, that strange bell sounded again.

The three of them were in a trance, and the scene in front of them changed again.

But this time, their positions have not changed, the three of them are still standing in the front yard between the temple gate and the main hall.

What has changed is the things around them...

At this time, when they looked at Lanruo Temple again, they could only see that the courtyard was dilapidated, overgrown with weeds, mottled walls and pillars, and full of cobwebs... It was quite different from the brand new look they saw when they first came.

On the ground, Tian Wude's corpse was still there, as were the two piles of debris, but when they looked into the hall, they found that the traveling merchant's corpse... was no longer a "corpse".

The one lying on the box was already a headless, life-sized paper man; it was no wonder that the "blood" from its neck not only could not be sprayed, but also flowed so slowly, because it was not blood at all. , but the paste used by paper pasters.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 now turned green...

…………

At the same time, on the upper reaches of the Shi River, there was a lone boat on a leaf.

A young man in a silver Taoist robe, holding a fly whisk, a single sword on his back, and a big gourd pinned to his waist, was standing solemnly at the bow of the boat.

In his hand, he held a "small clock" the size of a teacup and a "bell hammer" that was a little bigger than an ear-picking spoon, and he had just struck three times.

Why is it called a "little bell" instead of a "bell", these two things are actually a little different: a copper tongue or a metal shot is installed inside, and the bell can ring when you shake it; the hollow one must be used It is the clock that the hammer strikes.

Of course, the division was not so strict later on, and the big bells used in many places, including foreign churches, were also equipped with copper tongues.

But right now the priest is holding a "bell", not a bell.

"Oh... I missed a day's journey, and I'm late." The Taoist priest seemed to be in his early twenties, but his tone of voice was very mature, "If there is something wrong with the lifesavers of Nephew Bai? , I’m not good at explaining to senior brother..." He took a long breath and read nervously, "I hope I can catch up..."

…………

On the other side, the three people in the temple didn't know that the rescuers were almost here.

They saw the upheaval around them, and they were still in the rain.

"No way? Could it be here..." The "here" that Sun Yixie said at the moment does not refer to "this place", but refers to "this world" or "the universe they traveled to", " ...In addition to internal strength, there are even monsters?"

"It's hard to say..." Huang Donglai also continued, "But if you plan for the worst in everything... let's take it for granted and be more stable."

"Hmm... so don't be jealous, isn't it more ominous than good?" Sun Yixie said again.

"Yeah, we have to find a way to find him quickly." Huang Donglai said.

"By the way, I have to look for that scholar." Xie Run also said, "Besides, since the corpse of that traveling merchant was also made of paper dolls, maybe he is still alive?"

I have to say that Xie Run is really a chivalrous person, regardless of whether he treats him well or badly, as long as they are innocent people, he will try his best to save them.

"That's right, there's that boatman." Huang Donglai said, "Although he didn't come to Lanruo Temple, there's no guarantee that the 'master' here won't attack him."

"The 'master' here?" Xie Run heard something he didn't know, and asked himself.

So, Sun and Huang told Xie Run about their experience just now, and Xie Run also briefly shared the hallucinations he saw.

The three of them stood in the rain and discussed again, and decided to put out the "demon fire" first, because it seems that the trigger of the hallucination must be directly related to the fire.

They learned to be smart this time. They didn't enter the door of the main hall at all, and they didn't consider using the method of "extinguishing it". Instead, they found an old water tank in the front yard, carried it whole, and filled it with the water that was already full. The rainwater from the tank is poured directly from the entrance of the hall.

Xie Run is the one to do this job.

He is a boy with a golden bell jar. He has profound skills and is as powerful as an ox. It is trivial to carry 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 us ordinary people who lift a water tank of about one cubic meter. A cardboard box full of cotton is about the same.

Pour a full tank of water into it, and the fire will go out.

It doesn't matter if it doesn't go out, once the fire goes out, something happens again...

At the same time that the green flame was extinguished, the three of them only heard a "pong" sound from behind, and the gate of Lanruo Temple... closed.

Immediately afterwards, outside the towering courtyard wall, there were faint movements of soldiers and horses clashing, mixed with various screams and screams.

"This is not letting us go..." Huang Donglai blurted out when he saw this scene.

"Well, we were going to go in anyway." Sun Yixie continued.

"Hmm..." Xie Run murmured, and said, "I have no choice but to find the boatman later..." He put down the water tank in his hand, and took the lead and walked into the hall, "Just Let Xie come to meet the 'master' here, and see what kind of monster he is!"
