Chapter 2 Chapter 2 Black Fire

"Winter, Dongdong..." The knock on the door rang again, but no one spoke outside the door.Gui Li frowned, walked over, and opened the door. I saw a person standing at the door, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old Miao boy, with a childish expression on his face, holding a basket in his hand, with some meat, wine and vegetables in the middle, it seems that the patriarch Tumagu sent someone to deliver the food coming. The boy handed over the basket, Gui Li nodded and said, "Thank you very much." The young man grinned, but only made a sound of "Huh Ya", Gui Li was startled, such a young man is actually a mute who can't speak, no wonder he just knocked on the door and didn't speak.

He couldn't help but looked at the young man a few more times, and saw that the young man's clothes were patched, obviously worn for a long time, which was very different from the Miao people he saw on the Qilidong street just now, he thought the young man's status here is not high, I'm afraid most of them are still orphans. When Gui Li thought of the word "orphan", he was stunned for a moment, but after a while, the young man turned around and left after showing him a smile, looking at his back, he was not sad or depressed , quite a bit happy look. Gui Li watched the young man's back gradually go away, suddenly felt an inexplicable boredom in his heart, sighed softly, turned around and entered the room, and closed the door with a snap.

※※※ As the day went down and the sky gradually darkened, the numerous Miao houses in Qilidong were lit up one by one. The dim yellow light revealed from each window flickers in the darkness, flickers on and off, like silent eyes in the night. Gui Li stood at the window, looking at the Miao people's residence in the distance, silent. The night wind gradually blew, and the cheerful laughter of the Miao people came from the distance of Qilidong from time to time, and there were occasional barks of dogs. These sounds, on the contrary, highlighted the tranquility of this land. Maybe these ordinary Miao people are happier than those who practice Taoism.

Gui Li slowly closed the window, turned around, and isolated himself from the outside world. He was startled when he turned his head. Xiao Bai, who was sleeping quietly just a moment ago, sat up at some point, leaned against the wall beside the bed, and looked at him silently. Gui Li glanced at her and said, "Are you awake?" Xiaobai smiled, gently rubbed his forehead with his hands, and said, "Is there any tea? Pour me a cup! My head hurts." Gui Li walked to the table, poured a glass of water, handed it to her, said: "Where is there tea here for the Miao people, you should drink some water!"

Xiaobai nodded, took the cup, drank a few sips, his spirit seemed to be shaken, he let out a sigh of relief, then he glanced at Guili, and said: "Are you blaming me in your heart?" Gui Li smiled wryly, shook his head, and said: "Without you, I wouldn't have known that the great wizard of the Miao people might save Bi Yao. Forget it, we'll just go see him tomorrow." Xiaobai nodded and said, "I'm not sober when I'm drunk, have you seen the great wizard of the Miao people?" Gui Li nodded and said: "Yes, I have seen it before, and he also admitted that he really knows the magic of resurrection, but he must ask your background and find out how you know this secret before he agrees." He couldn't help feeling a little worried, whether he was willing to reveal the identity of the Nine-Tailed Sky Fox or not, he was not sure about Xiao Bai's reaction.

Xiaobai was silent for a moment, then said lightly: "After dawn tomorrow, I will go to see him with you!" Gui Li nodded, and was about to say something more, but Xiao Bai suddenly laughed, and said: "Look at this monkey, he's actually more drunk than me." Gui Li glanced at Xiao Hui who was still lying beside Xiao Bai, sleeping soundly with his limbs spread out, shook his head and said nothing. Xiao Bai stretched out his hand, touched Xiao Hui's head, his eyes unexpectedly fell on the third eye in the middle of Xiao Hui's forehead, he pondered for a moment, then raised his head and said to Gui Li: "There is one thing that I have been thinking about for a long time, It's Xiao Hui, the third spiritual eye..."

Before the words were finished, suddenly outside their house, a huge roar like a dog's bark erupted in the sky above Qilidong, and the sound moved the whole field, as if shaking the entire mountain range.Even the two of them, who are cultivators, felt their ears buzzing. Both of them were startled, Gui Li quickly walked to the door, pulled the door open and walked out. The loud noise echoed in Qilidong Valley.At this moment, all the Miao people in Qilidong were startled by the loud voice, and the original calm was instantly broken. Gui Li only saw countless Miao people rushing out of the house one after another, looking from a distance, they all had expressions of horror on their faces, many people kept chanting the same sentence, but he couldn't understand what it meant.

Footsteps sounded behind him, Xiaobai also came out, stood beside him, looked at the group of panicked Miao people in the distance, listened to the non-stop shouting among the Miao people, gradually frowned, and said in a low voice: "Maybe problem occurs." Gui Li also saw that something was wrong, said: "What's the matter, what are those Miao people talking about?" Xiaobai looked solemn, and said: "The loud voice just now was the alarm from the dog god stone carving enshrined by the Miao people. If there was no danger of extinction, the dog god would never have made such a sound. As far as I know , For thousands of years, the dog god of the Miao people has only issued a warning once."

Gui Li felt restless for a while, Baguio's hope of life and death was pinned on that mysterious great wizard in the Miao people's altar, yet such a strange thing happened at this moment.Just as he was thinking about asking Xiaobai clearly, a huge change began to appear in the originally quiet night sky of Qilidong. In the starry night sky, thick dark clouds suddenly began to gather, covering up the stars one by one.Layers of dark clouds swarmed from all directions, extremely strange. The insignificant people standing on the ground couldn't help shouting in horror. Countless people started running around, and then more people began to bow down to the mountain where the Miao people's altar was located.

Under the heavy black clouds, this piece of land that was originally full of joy is desolate. Gui Li frowned, said in a low voice: "There is a cultivator coming." Xiaobai was beside him, looking at the sky, and said, "Do you know where they are from?" Gui Li shook his head slowly, and said: "From the point of view of this technique of manipulating the wind and cloud, it is very strange, it is not like the righteous way of Middle Earth, and it is also very different from the Devil's Cult." The corner of Xiaobai's mouth twitched, and a strange expression flashed across his face, as if he had thought of something, but for some reason, he still didn't say it.

Now the black clouds are getting lower and lower, and the Miao people in Qilidong seem to have more and more difficulty breathing. Everyone is shocked, and the chaos is even more obvious.At this chaotic moment, a figure suddenly jumped out from among the Miao people, Gui Li looked from afar, it was the head of the Miao people, Tu Magu. I saw Tu Magu shouting loudly at the Miao people and waving his arms vigorously. Gradually, the Miao people began to calm down. Under Tu Magu's order, women, girls and children began to run to a distant mountain peak, leaving only the middle-aged Most of the men were armed with weapons. Obviously, the Miao people also knew that the situation was critical and were ready to fight to the death. In the chaos, Tu Magu glanced at the river bank and saw Guili and Li standing outside the door. He was stunned for a moment, then nodded to signal, and turned his attention to commanding the tribe again. The black cloud gradually lowered, making Xiaobai's face uncertain.Suddenly, she whispered to Gui Li: "With this unfathomable cultivator here, I'm afraid the Miao people are not opponents. Do you want to help them?" Gui Li was silent for a moment, nodded, and said: "Since Baguio depends on them..." Before he finished speaking, there was a strange loud noise in the black clouds in the sky, like thunder, like the roar of a beast. In an instant, the black clouds seemed to be burning, and they radiated light. There were hot golden lights everywhere in the clouds and outside the clouds. A moment later, amidst the rumbling sound deep in the clouds, a huge ball of fire fell from the sky, carrying raging flames, but at the very center, it seemed that a strange black flame was still burning.Before reaching the ground, all the surrounding trees were scorched.The Miao people were terrified and exclaimed everywhere, but the momentum of the fireball was so fast, before the Miao people could run away, they heard the sound of piercing through the sky, "rumbling" rushing towards the ground, before hitting the ground superior. Amidst the loud noise, countless broken arms and stumps flew out along with the burning flames. Ghost Li's expression changed, unexpectedly the man in the dark cloud said to do it, he did it, he was about to get up and fly up to help Miao Ren, but he felt the back of his clothes suddenly tightened, but it was Xiao Bai who held him back. Gui Li felt strange, looked at her, Xiao Bai glanced into the distance, said: "Don't worry, look over there." Gui Li followed her gaze, and saw that what Xiaobai was looking at was the Miao people's altar halfway up the mountain, on the platform at the top of the mountain, where was illuminated by the raging flames, a thin and crooked figure loomed over him. Standing up, looking up at the sky.Although the distance was too far, he couldn't see the person's appearance clearly, but from that figure, Gui Li was the first to recognize in his mind that it was the extremely mysterious great wizard in the Miao people's altar. He stopped and stared at the old figure in the mountains from afar. The flame clouds in the sky burned more and more, dyeing the entire night sky red, like the image of the end of the world, the world is destroyed, and it is staged fiercely in this southern border. There was a loud bang, the night wind was fierce, and there was a sudden exclamation. Behind the Miao soldiers, there was a loud cry of killing. All the Miao people turned pale, and Tu Magu's face changed drastically. Qilidong is easy to defend and difficult to attack. There is only one mountain road leading to the outside of the mountain. The Miao people have always garrisoned heavily. At this moment, someone unexpectedly attacked in. Could it be... … Is tonight really the day of the extermination of the Miao people? It's just that the Miao people have dominated southern Xinjiang for 200 years. As the head of the clan, Tu Magu was still able to calm down despite his panic. The night was like blood, and the cold lights of countless weapons lit up in an instant, and across the air, bright red blood was splashed. The flames were burning, and the sky and the earth were about to split. The group of devil-like warriors, with ferocious bear head tattoos on their chests, galloped and roared, rushing crazily out of the darkness.His eyes were full of fanaticism and bloodthirsty. He was the first person with an extremely tall figure, his naked upper body was covered with scars, and he was holding a huge stone axe. He fought vertically and horizontally. Wherever he passed, blood flowed all over the ground, and wailing everywhere. The Miao warriors were known for their bravery, but when things happened suddenly tonight, and the dogs and gods barked at the sky, it was an omen of great evil that happened once in a thousand years, and the Miao people were turbulent and terrified.Second, the Li people had been in ambush for a long time, and they rushed in suddenly. Coupled with the courage forged in the bitter and barbaric land of southern Xinjiang for two hundred years, and the situation that they would perish if they failed, they killed the Miao who dominated southern Xinjiang in a short time. The human fighters couldn't resist and retreated one after another. Tu Magu's eyes were about to burst into flames, now he had seen the enemy's appearance clearly, and shouted: "Li people!" The chief of the Li clan raised his ax and hacked a Miao warrior to death. He looked at this with a grinning grin: "Miao dogs, today I ask you to repay the two hundred years of enmity!" As soon as the voice fell, as if echoing his words, countless soldiers of the Li tribe roared in unison, like wild beasts barking at the moon, they killed one after another with endless madness, the Miao people couldn't resist, and they were about to collapse. At this critical juncture, suddenly in the valley, a deep and mysterious voice sounded, like a whisper, like a ghost, echoing and entangled in every inch of Qilidong. The Miao warriors were instantly overjoyed, and their spirits were shaken. On the other hand, from the Li clan's side, from the patriarch down, they all showed panic on their faces. The great sorcerer who was so famous in southern Xinjiang finally appeared at the most critical moment for the Miao people. The red light flickered for a moment in the burning flames in the sky, and then quickly grew larger, centered on the great wizard standing on the mountain platform, and spread to the entire Qilidong.Wherever they passed, the burning flames were extinguished one after another. A moment later, the red light extended to the battlefield where the Miao people and the Li people fought, and from the back, the Miao people were safe and sound under the red light, but at the end of the red light, a strong warrior of the Li people touched the mysterious red light, He suddenly let out a scream, fell to the ground convulsing, and after a while, his whole body trembled, and his seven orifices bled to death. The people of the Li people were shocked and backed away one after another, these warriors are used to fighting, if any powerful enemy monsters are in front of them, if they want them to charge up to the enemy, they might not even blink their eyes.It's just that this kind of mysterious witchcraft has always been the most feared power for the people of Southern Xinjiang. Suddenly, everyone's face was terrified. The patriarch of the Li tribe also had unbearable panic on his face. The name of the great wizard of the Miao people is simply a demonic existence to the other four tribes in southern Xinjiang. At this moment, he has a deeper understanding of this. It's just that he didn't order to retreat, but looked up at the sky. That piece of flames burning blazingly in the night sky is blazing and surging! There was laughter, bursting out, with contempt and hostility. The sky was full of clouds, instantly bright, and the burning flame seemed to be suddenly transparent and hot, turning into a terrifying monster in midair.The wind fuels the fire, and the fire grows even higher, and the wind and clouds are constantly changing, like the roaring of the galloping sea. In front of the clouds, someone suddenly appeared, like a god-man, with flames all over his body, looking down from mid-air, like a proud god. I saw him waving his arms in mid-air and doing a series of weird movements. After a while, if there was a mysterious force behind him, the sky was filled with flames, and the clouds flowed crazily. There was only a huge explosion, and in an instant, countless people fell from the sky. The fireball rushed down to the world with raging flames. Everyone on the ground, including Ghost Li and Xiaobai, all changed their faces, just now there was only one fireball falling, the power is already so great, once these countless fireballs fall, Qilidong might turn into a sea of ​​flames immediately, and it can't be kept anymore. Ordinary people can see it, and the Great Wizard naturally knows this too. The red light in the valley lit up almost at the same time. Looking from a distance, although he still couldn't see his face clearly, that thin figure was standing behind the amazingly powerful Under the flames all over the sky, he looked extremely old. At this moment, everyone looked carefully, and it turned out that the red light came from the great wizard standing on the mountain platform, to be precise, it came from a wooden staff in his hand.The wooden stick was dark in color, and it stood taller than the great wizard. Especially the top of the wooden stick was inlaid with a strange stone that was neither gold nor jade. An increasingly intense red light. The people of the Li tribe suddenly became agitated, countless soldiers turned red in an instant, and the giant, the patriarch of the Li tribe, let out a loud roar, as if carrying two hundred years of deep and inexhaustible hatred. "Bone Jade!" He looked up at the sky and shouted loudly: "The great bear god ah ah ah ah..." The voice was shrill and ferocious, and the sound moved all over the world. In an instant, all the Li warriors roared together and rushed forward one after another. The moment when the blood splattered was just on the verge of life and death. The night is burning, people are crazy! The Miao fighters fought desperately, but facing the crazy Li fighters, they gradually lost their fighting courage and retreated gradually. The river in Qilidong is gradually turning red, reflecting the countless fireballs flying down from the sky! The red light soared, rising towards the sky, facing those huge fireballs, forming a bloody barrier, covering the sky over Qilidong. Countless blazing fireballs collided with the bloody red curtain almost at the same time, and the huge explosion echoed among the mountains, exploding clusters of huge red flames. The great wizard raised his hands high above his head, and the tall wooden staff pointed directly at the sky, fighting against the mysterious figure in the sky with all his strength.It's just that with the passage of time, the pressure from the sky is getting bigger and bigger, almost to the point of being inhuman. The great wizard was horrified, among the Li people, there had never been such thaumaturgy in the thousand years, otherwise they would have used it in the decisive battle to determine the destiny of the two clans two hundred years ago. However, the mysterious figure in the sky in front of him seemed like an invincible god... Deep in the heart of the great wizard, there is a growing haze. This strange magic is not something in the world at all, but the legend of that mysterious demon that has been secretly circulated in the southern border for thousands of years... In the sky, flames were blazing, and Ahetai, standing on the cloud, could no longer hide his pride.He was deeply shocked by the tribulation's disaster since he was a child, abandoned everything, went deep into the Hundred Thousand Mountains, found the devil, and begged his endless and powerful power. Today, he was finally able to rescue the tribe from the abyss of suffering. Out. The first step to a better life for the Li people is at this moment.Trample all the Miao people, take back the bone jade inlaid on the Miao people's holy artifact "black rod" and sacrifice to the great bear god, no, what is the bear god? When the Li people are suffering, where is the bear god? Ahetai let out a roar in his heart, urging his magic power, and in an instant, more than a dozen huge fireballs rushed down from the clouds. Every time he saw the impact of the fireballs and the red screen, the once invincible figure trembled again and again. At that time, he had already decided in his heart that after the victory of the Li people, he would convert all the people to believe in that god. Only he could bring new life to the Li people! ※※※ Note: The Li nationality - originated from a branch of Baiyue in ancient times. Long before the Qin and Han Dynasties, a branch of "Luoyue" crossed the sea from the mainland to Hainan Island. The Sui Dynasty called the residents of Hainan Island "liliao", that is, the ancestors of the Li nationality .Today they mainly live in the Li and Miao Autonomous Prefecture in the south-central part of Hainan Province, and the rest live scattered in Wanning, Tunchang, Qionghai, Chengmai, Lu County, Ding'an and other counties mixed with Han people.Li is their pronunciation transformation of "mountain".
