Chapter 17 Section 16 In Fire

When they returned to the circle drawn by the isolation tape, they all became big-faced cats.The circle surrounded by the fire belt was already filled with smoke, Chu Feng kept walking, and directly carried the child to the pond. At this time, the fire had already surrounded the place across that circle, and the temperature rose suddenly. Although it was not to an unbearable level, profuse sweating was inevitable. The small pond was not big, and now there was a big fire not far away to conduct heat. When Chu Feng reached out to splash some water on the child's face, the water was already warm.

The little boy has a thick head and a thick head, and he looks like a Mongolian child.Before he woke up, Chu Feng had already checked his body carefully.Although the clothes on the child's body were burnt in many places, fortunately, there was no serious injury. It was just a pair of small hands with black charcoal-like skin on the knuckles. It seemed that the child was desperately trying to put out the fire! Chu Feng shook his head, wiped the child's face, and laid him flat on the ground.He hurriedly cleaned it himself, looked at the crackling fires around him, and carefully observed the wind direction, his brows furrowed.

This fire direction cannot be changed, and now they are surrounded by this fire.If there was a wind at this time, the speed of fire might be faster, so that the fire might burn through before roasting or choking any of them.It's a pity that there seems to be no wind at all, so they might not be able to hold on for long. The fire was still burning around the circle, the temperature in the circle was getting higher and higher, the ground became a little hot to the feet, and the water in the small pond began to be a little hot to the touch.In order to avoid the thick smoke, everyone tried to lie down as low as possible.

At this moment, the child who was stunned by Chu Feng's palm coughed a few times as if being choked, and then slowly opened his eyes - he woke up!The first thing the child did when he opened his eyes was to get up.At this time, "#￥#￥*", the little lama uttered a series of hasty syllables.Chu Feng knew that he was speaking Mongolian, and he happened to be able to understand it. "Why are you going?" said the little lama. "I'm going to stop the fire!" The little boy seemed to recognize the lama's attire, and although his tone was stubborn, he still had the respect that believers should have.

"Can you stop it?" "If you can't stop it, you have to stop it!" "why?" "When the fire burns out, my pasture, cattle and sheep will all be gone. Abba is not at home, I am a man, and this is my responsibility!" When Chu Feng listened to this little boy categorically speaking about the responsibilities of a man, he didn't know what to feel for a while. The joy that he laughed at first quickly became sour and salty. My mind was churning, and in the end, there was only a bitter aftertaste in my mouth. "Don't go, the fire will be extinguished, and your pasture, cattle and sheep will be fine!"

"I don't believe it, who are you?" "I am Xiuwang Aji from the old temple." "Ah?" The little boy suddenly screamed, "You are a little living Buddha! Dad said, I will salute you when I see you." After speaking, he saluted the little lama in a panic. When Chu Feng saw this scene, he felt it was ridiculous.Two children, but one should bow to the other, such behavior is beyond the comprehension of a person as uninterested in religion as he is.But he didn't want to interfere with others, so he just turned over and lay down, looking up at the sky.

Anyway, he was about to die, whether he died from a headache, burned to death, suffocated, or roasted to death by high temperature, it was nothing more than a death.Now that he has fallen into such a desperate situation, he simply let go of his body and mind, ignoring the increasingly hot temperature under his body, ignoring the increasingly scorching suffocation feeling in his mouth and nose, just closing his eyes slightly, taking care of himself Come to mind. That little guy just now was really good. For the sake of the home behind him, he refused to retreat even half a step after being burned like that.It's nice to have kids at home!Chu Feng squinted his eyes and thought, he seems to be a person without a home, even such a child knows how to fight for his home, how about himself?What are you struggling for?Just to live?

"Remembering the heaven and the earth, I feel sad and weep." If it was in the past, if someone said these sour words about literati to Chu Feng, he would definitely pooh back.But now, he really felt lonely. In this world, he has no home, no relatives, and soon he will lose his life. He is not a person who likes to feel sorry for himself, a certain sour emotion has not been fermented in his heart for too long, he thought of the teacher, Ling Ning, Da Qi, Sang Bu, and the round face of the fat man.Even if I don't have any relatives in this life, at least, after I die, they will be very sad!These were the last words in Chu Feng's mind when he heard the sound of "Plop!"

Ling Ning didn't know that Chu Feng would actually rank herself second in her imagination at the time. If she knew, we don't know whether she would be so active in looking for this person.But right now, she couldn't care less about thinking about anything else, and just stared at the front without blinking. When everyone first arrived in Tekes County, Sangbu sent out a large stack of materials, including the contents of the Tekes County Chronicle.There is mentioned the earliest origin of Tekes Bagua City. According to the "Texas County Chronicles", the Bagua City of Tekes first appeared in the Southern Song Dynasty. Qiu Chuji, one of the seven sons of Quanzhen Taoism and the leader of the Longmen School, "Changchun Zhenren", was invited by Genghis Khan to the Western Regions to teach the Khan the strategy of governing the country and helping the people. and the way of immortality.Qiu Chuji traveled Tianshan for three years, and was moved by the Tekes River Valley, which integrates the rigidity of the mountain, the softness of the river, and the flourishing veins of the water. He took it as the core of Fengshui of the "Bagua City" and determined Kanbei, Li The four directions of South, Zhendong and Duixi formed the most primitive prototype of Tekes Bagua City.

The current city structure was designed and supervised by Sheng Shicai's father-in-law Qiu Zongjun, who was proficient in "Yi" theory, after he was transferred to Ili as the reclamation envoy and garrison commander more than 70 years ago.Originally, Ling Ning thought that such a living and huge Bagua City was already a miracle in the history of urban architecture. Unexpectedly, under Tang Mei's explanation, there would be a building ten times larger than the ground in the underground of this Bagua City. Underground Bagua City. "The west belongs to gold, the south belongs to fire, the east belongs to wood, and the north belongs to water. The Bagua City on the ground is built according to the four directions of Kanbei, Linan, Zhendong, and Duixi. Judging from the mounds found in the azimuth and the unearthed conditions, the azimuth of the underground city does not seem to be the case." Tang Mei hung a few azimuth analysis maps he had drawn on the wall and explained them to everyone.

In the past few days, under the leadership of Tang Mei, the archaeological team has harvested every day. In addition to the gold artifacts unearthed in the seven mound temples, they also found a wooden structure building site, and found a statue in it. A pottery idol with a head. "Why?" William was very confused. "Why can the things we dug out of the mound prove that the underground city is not located in Kanbei or Duixi?" Among all the people, his Chinese cultural foundation was the strongest. Bad, he has never read "Book of Changes", let alone the book-like gossip that day. Tang Mei is really good-tempered, looked at most of the other people's confused eyes, and patiently explained: "I want to explain to you the relationship between the directions of the Eight Diagrams and the mathematics and physics of Hetu Luoshu from the beginning, and I can't finish it for three years. The only thing I can say is that the west belongs to gold. If we dig out metal products from the outer temples of the city according to the general concept, then this position should be the west of the city, but in terms of mathematics, this position should be nine, that is, It is said that if there are nine mounds, the location of the underground city should match the Bagua city on the ground. Unfortunately, there are only seven of them. This shows that the location of the underground city has been tampered with!" "Oh! In other words, the original West is no longer the West. Is that what it means?" William asked half-understanding.I can't blame him for this matter, it's because the knowledge here is too profound! "Then why do you say that there is a Bagua City underground?" Ling Ning was very curious about this.Just based on the mounds and wooden structure sites they have unearthed so far, can it be judged that there is a super-large Bagua City underground? "That's a good question!" Tang Mei still smiled gently, "Actually, this is not my textual research, I also heard it from people!" As he said, he turned his eyes to Sangbu. "Yes, about this city, there is a folklore that has been passed down for many years. Almost everyone at that time firmly believed that there was another city under their feet, an even better gossip city!" Sangbu spoke out in support. "According to a legend, you..." Ling Ning was tongue-tied, quite speechless in front of Sang Bu, the question she almost blurted out was swallowed by Sang Bu's desperate winking. "It's not just a legend now!" Tang Mei said, "According to what we've learned in the past few days, I'm 90% sure that this legend is true!" After finishing speaking, he took a red pen and clicked heavily on the picture The central position, "If the underground city does not exist, there is no need to build these temples and enshrine these items, let alone to use all these hands and feet, just to conceal the true location of the underground city. You know, whether it is a square city in the Eastern tradition It’s still the round city that is commonly used in the West, and the orientation is not that important. Only the ancient and mysterious Bagua City, the real orientation can even determine the life and death of those who enter the city.” Tang Mei still has a lot of unspoken words that are very important. The underground Bagua City is not the same as the one on the ground.It's okay to wander around randomly on the ground, it's just a matter of getting lost.The underground one is different. Entering through the gate of life, there is life but not death; entering through the gate of death, there is death but not life.But he tried his best to get into this archaeological team because of some other purpose. Is he obliged to tell them too clearly? Ling Ning saw that Sangbu obeyed Tang Mei's words and kept ordering people to do this and that, and she felt more and more uncomfortable in her heart!She could only keep reminding herself: This Tang guy wants to be suspicious of Brother Sangbu, so don't be fooled! The one who jumped into the water with a "plop" was neither Chu Feng, nor the young Xilin, nor any of the two lamas, nor the little boy.Chu Feng was somewhat dissatisfied with the slightly scalding water splashed on his face.This water is already scarce, and if it is wasted, everyone will die faster. "Ah! The water is so hot!" I saw a strong man jumping ashore at the same speed as he jumped into the water. His figure and voice were very familiar. "Uncle Bingbu, why did you come here!" Xilin was still so energetic. "Didn't you leave the arrow to let me go this way?" Bingbu spoke bluntly, causing Chu Feng to cough: "Ahem! Bingbu, look here, the little living Buddha you are looking for!" , Chu Feng pointed his hand. "Ah!" When Bingbu saw the little lama in monk's robe, a devout expression immediately appeared on his face.He prostrated his tall body, and kissed the little living Buddha's instep with the most humble gesture. Soon, the two began chatting, but the language was not Mongolian. Chu Feng identified it, and it was probably Tibetan.It's a pity that Chu Feng can understand Tibetan, but can't understand Tibetan, so he completely "doesn't kill sheep" about the specific content of the two people's exchanges. Probably because what Bingbu said was very serious, the little living Buddha suddenly became agitated, and he was very disturbed, walking around there. This was the first time Chu Feng saw him lose his composure. The burnt smell in the air is getting heavier.The diameter of this fire barrier is only more than 40 meters. Everyone is currently retreating in the middle, at least 20 meters away from the flames, but the scorching heat wave still seems to hit people's faces.What was even more unbearable was that the thick smoke that poured straight into the nose and throat made people cry. Chu Feng tore off a piece of cloth from the hem of his shirt, separated two small pieces, used one to cover his mouth and nose with wetness, and gave the other to Xilin.It's not that he doesn't want to care about other people, it's just that there's nothing he can do in the current situation.Chu Feng, who was blackened in front of him, glanced at the few people sitting around the little lama, thinking apologetically. He couldn't take it anymore, exhausted the last bit of strength in his body, and lay down by the small pond, his brain was throbbing, and the black halo in front of his eyes spread round and round, he felt that his last time was coming, then The scorching air didn't seem to have any effect on him. He slowly closed his eyes, and while he was still awake, he really wanted to recall his past life.He thought he would have mixed feelings, but unexpectedly, his mind went blank.Yes, a complete blankness, this kind of blankness even gave him a trace of fear: No, no, how can my life be blank?Think hard, remember well, I must have something worth remembering. The struggle in his mind quickly reflected in his body.Xilin was the first to notice that something was wrong with him. He was lying flat on the grass by the pond, his fists clenched, his whole body twitching, the veins on his neck were bulging, and his head was sweating profusely.Xilin was in a hurry, ignoring the ash he poured into his mouth and nose at any time, hugged him and shouted: "Professor! Professor! What's wrong with you? Don't scare me!"
