Chapter 4 Chapter Four: Thousands of Miles Akiyama Furongxia

At some point, hundreds of torches outside the house had been extinguished. Fortunately, the east has already turned white, and the trees are wrapped in thick moisture by the faint morning light, like newborn babies with a thin layer of afterbirth. There was a loud bang, and the air was filled with a smell of mud. The mud in the center of the square had turned up from the ground at some point, protruding countless dirt bumps, like the skin of a long-term sick person, covered with carbuncles that were about to break. sore.The vast morning dew poured down in the jungle, turning those dirt bumps into a pool of obscene mud.

The earth was silent for a moment in the suffocating moisture, then suddenly trembled up and down. At the same time, an indescribable sound seemed to be breaking through the ground from the center of the earth.This kind of voice was shrill and hoarse, and for a moment it was hard to tell that it was coming from that kind of creature, and the legendary group of ghosts crying at night was by no means so weird.It is also like wolf, bear, orangutan, brown bear, leopard, tiger, and dog screaming before death, and it is like countless people laughing sharply underground at the same time, and this laughter is buried in the mud for too long. It has been corrupted for a long time!

The earth bag was churning amidst this strange sound, and the miasma was agitating sticky blisters, emitting puffs of foul-smelling black smoke. The villagers were divided into nine groups and set up nine arc gardens around the square. They didn't have any weapons in their hands, but each had a pottery pot on his head, clasped his hands on his chest, and held a handful of blood-red soil tightly.The women and children stood in the same posture in the inner circle, with a fearful and tragic expression on their dark yellow faces, as if they had realized that their infinite life was coming to an end.

The soil churned faster, and the smelly black smoke made it hard to open one's eyes. The hoarse scream was getting closer and closer, as if the last struggle in the muddy package was about to break through the ground! The priest put on the heavy dress again, and stood face up in the center of the arc, with a clay pot placed on top of his head, on his chest, and on each of his limbs. The animal horns, pheasant feathers, and scepter all glistened under the rays of the sun. Shenghui, although this scene is even weirder than when I first saw it, no one will find it funny anymore: ——This group of people who have already understood the mysteries of immortality are now determined to fight the endlessly proliferating demons to the last moment for this land that has lived for thousands of years!

The strong wind rose from the ground to the sky without warning, the thick dust immediately covered the sky, the green trees, the sun, and the colorful clouds disappeared instantly, and the surrounding area was instantly covered by a turbid darkness! A disgusting stench rushed towards the face, and several groups of thick smoke shot out from the earth bag closest to the crowd like an explosion. In the vagueness, a huge animal claw had suddenly protruded from the ground! "Ah!" Bu Xiaoluan screamed, and Zhuo Wangsun immediately covered her eyes with his hands. The beast's paws were covered with long black hairs, and the gray nails were half a foot long, curved into hooks, black and shiny, it kept groping around in the air, and the sound of moaning and screaming was even closer.

The mound continued to roll, and a gray chalky head had protruded from the ground.The left side of the head is the face of a dead body, twisted strangely under a layer of loess, as if it still maintains the fear and pain of dying, while the right half is the face of a grizzly bear.The two faces were forcibly glued together by a finger-thick blood scab. It seemed unwilling, and it seemed violent and crazy in the severe pain of wanting to separate. Its two claws kept waving in the air, and its chest was also scratched. There were bloodstains. Suddenly, the Du Mu seemed to smell the breath of a stranger, and became mad, screaming violently, the mud in his hand was pulled into countless threads by his great force, entangled on its animal arm, and it struggled all the way Climb to everyone step by step.

Xiangsi couldn't help exclaiming, a sleeve arrow has already been shot! With a puff, the sleeve arrow hit the forehead of Du Mu, where the black blood gushed out, the sleeve arrow's strength remained unabated, and it went straight out from the back of its head. Mother Du Du didn't even have time to scream, she just let out a muffled noise in her throat, and she swayed and fell backwards. Xiangsi was about to breathe a sigh of relief, when suddenly four animal claws stretched out from the back of that Du Mu, each grabbing one of its limbs. There was a hissing sound, and black blood sprayed out like a bloody rain!

The earlier Dumu had been torn from the middle, and the other two, bigger Dumu each grabbed a piece of corpse, waved it high above their heads, howling ecstatically. After dancing for a few laps, the two mothers suddenly grabbed each other's limbs and tore them apart violently.The two mothers of Du Du uttered the most miserable screams at the same time, but they were also torn apart. The two fragments did not fall down, but struggled to join the half of the Du Mu's body that was held in his hands onto his own fragment.During this process, they screamed again and again, and their eyes were about to pop out of their sockets due to the severe pain, but there was still a greedy and satisfied expression on their distorted faces.

After a while, the two mothers turned into three, screaming and staggering towards the crowd. At the same time, the tens of thousands of soil bags have been broken, and all kinds of dummies made of humans and animals have broken through the ground, such as wolves, bears, orangutans, brown bears, leopards, tigers, dogs, and human beings. The remnants were strangely combined together, squirming in the black smoke, the stench was overwhelming, and the wailing went straight to the sky, countless hands and claws kept waving in the turbulent wind, and at a glance, there were mountains and plains ,everywhere.

Xiangsi's face was paper-like, and she tremblingly said: "How many Du Mus are there?" Zhuo Wangsun looked into the distance and said, "Thousands, or tens of thousands." Xiangsi said, "Then how can I kill them?" Zhuo Wangsun said: "No one can. They don't care about anything except more corpses, and every fragment of their body can be regenerated." Xiangsi said, "Then what should we do?" Zhuo Wangsun looked at the group of villagers lined up in a nine-arc circle, shook his head and said, "We can only wait for the launch of the Sabbath Formation."

Bright and bright, dense and numb. The sound of the incantation became more and more intense, and the nine arcs were constantly opening and closing.The priest was twirling rapidly among them, and the clay pot on his body kept spinning at an even weirder speed, as if it was being manipulated by an invisible force. Gradually, a mass of yellow light rose up from the whirlwind close to the ground, forming nine light circles, enveloping the villagers. The villagers sang a strange hymn, and gradually raised their right hands from their chests to the top of their heads. As the priest sang loudly, hundreds of villagers waved their right hands in a semicircle above their heads at the same time, blood-red dust and fireworks drifting around. The rain of red earth fell one after another.Dye the chalky land bright red. The earth trembled violently, and then the chaotic vibrations gradually became calm and powerful, as if the pulse that had been sleeping for a long time was urged to burst out the rhythm of life. The priest flew faster and faster, the nine pots on his body were almost suspended in the air, and the incantations sung by hundreds of villagers were deafening.As the singing suddenly stopped at a very high place, the priest's whirling dance also stopped immediately, and the nine clay pots flew out of him in the slowest manner, and finally scattered into dust in the mud.At the same time, the clay pots above the villagers' heads fell to the ground at the same speed, and what came out of the pots was black soil. It was as if in an instant, countless ink-colored lotus flowers bloomed on the ground. At the moment when the lotus fell, nine arc-shaped ridges rose up on the ground where the villagers stood, and they stretched rapidly, connecting them into a circle in no time. Flying all over the sky, it instantly spread out with incredible force. The whole earth seemed to be covered by this rapidly expanding circle, trembling violently, like a huge wave suddenly rising in the sea, the majesty of the heaven and earth made people have no time to breathe, it had dispersed to the sky, without a trace trace. The world was silent, as if nothing had happened. Numerous mothers and villagers seemed to have turned into statues in an instant, ignorant, and the earth was like an ancient battlefield trillions of years ago. The ancient monsters and ancestors were all frozen by the glacier in an instant, and they have always maintained a fresh posture. , waiting here for endless years. Is the time and space of the universe accidentally causing eternal chaos, or is it just a momentary doubt in people's minds? This scene seems to have lasted for tens of millions of years, but in fact it is only a short moment. There was another muffled sound, and the ground under his feet moved like a burst, as if some kind of support deep in the center of the earth suddenly broke.All the violent turbulence around, in the thick darkness, the sound, sight, touch, and smell have been isolated, and there is only one feeling that is extremely clear-I am slowly sinking together with the earth. Xiangsi was stunned and almost forgot the danger around her. Vaguely, she heard Zhuo Wangsun say: "Go!" Then she exerted strength with her hands, and her whole body flew up, and she seemed to be rising and falling on the treetops in a dizzy state. When she woke up, she had already reached ten feet. On a giant tree outside. Zhuo Wangsun let go of her, and took Bu Xiaoluan, who was holding the other hand, into his arms.And Xiaoyan, Yang Yizhi and Qianlizishi are at the end of another tree not far away. Acacia didn't have time to think about it, and went back to the village when she looked back. Her face paled instantly.In front of him was an incredible scene. The whole village seemed to have suddenly turned into a circular land of quicksand. The trees, houses, stones, livestock, and all the villagers were spinning little by little amidst the vibrations, sinking towards the center of the circle, and instantly sunk to the waist. However, their The expression is still very serene, holding the upside-down clay pot in front of his chest with both hands, his lips are constantly opening and closing, as if he is chanting a silent mantra. Those mothers who had just crawled out of the soil were watching in horror that their bodies were about to return to the ground again. They kept baring their teeth and scratching, trying to pounce on the villagers who were chanting mantras, but they were trapped by the soil. He couldn't move forward half a step, only screamed and struggled desperately. In a short while, the villagers and Du Mu only had their heads on the ground. The morning sun, through the flying dust, coated the dark yellow faces of the villagers with a layer of gold.There was no trace of fear on their faces, but a strange tranquility.Perhaps, until this moment, this group of undead people truly understood the final meaning of life—that was never given by countless resurrections. They sink deeper and deeper, and the flowing soil will bring everything to the ground. On the swirling loess, only a young arm was left wanting to sink and float on the sand. It must have been a girl, for there was a garland of garlands around her pale yellow wrist. The only explanation is that a certain mother tried her best to get her daughter out of the sand at the last moment. Although doing so could only delay the girl's death for a moment, it was the only thing she could do. This is also the last hope of the undead. Xiangsi clenched her fists tightly, tears gleaming in her eyes.She turned around suddenly and hissed, "Sir, we want to save her!" Zhuo Wangsun only stared into the distance, and said indifferently: "This is their relief." Xiangsi looked at him disappointedly for a while, then turned her gaze to Yang Yizhi and Xiaoyan. Yang Yizhi frowned, silently looking down at the sinking earth.And Xiaoyan stood high on the top of the giant tree with his hands in seals. The morning breeze blew his lavender clothes, and the deep compassion in his eyes was like a god and Buddha overlooking the decline and prosperity of all living beings in front of the sala tree. It's just that he has no intention of saving people. Xiangsi looked around for a moment, then hissed, "Could it be that none of you are willing to make a move?" Zhuo Wangsun interrupted her, saying: "It is meaningless for anyone to take action." Xiangsi lowered her head and clenched her hands even tighter. She said word by word: "Even if it's meaningless, I can't do nothing!"She gritted her teeth and jumped down from the top of the tree. "Stop!" Yang Yizhi suddenly shouted, and flew to stop her. Of course Yang Yizhi's movements are much faster than Acacia's, but the tree they live in is too far apart, and when he leaves, Acacia is already under the tree. Her figure rose and fell in the forest several times, and she had already reached the edge of the flowing soil. She raised her hand, and a tassel flew out from her sleeve, and one end was tied to a nearby branch. With a little force in her hand, she flew towards the center of the flowing soil. With her toes on the quicksand, she stood upright, reached down, and firmly grasped the girl's wrist. That little hand was so hot that she almost let it go.However, she still held back, holding tassel tightly with one hand, and pulling the girl out of the soil with all her strength with the other hand. The little girl was astonishingly heavy, as if there were countless hands competing with Acacia under the sand. The tassel made a crackling sound, and the tassel, which was originally less than four fingers wide, was left with a crumbling thread.Xiangsi gritted her teeth, mobilized her internal strength, and thrust upwards suddenly. There was a shrill and desperate cry from the ground, if there was nothing, but it was like scraping bones, which broke people's hearts and minds. The little girl's body seemed to have finally escaped from the encirclement of the sand, and slowly rose together with Acacia. Gradually, a small red face appeared under the dirt. The meridians on her face protruded, and the thin skin was stretched transparently, one could almost see the blood boiling and surging. Xiangsi was taken aback by her strange appearance, and gave a firm hand. A low voice sounded beside her ear: "Let go!" Xiangsi only felt a white light flashing in front of her eyes, and an invisible force seemed to pass through the light, lightly clasping her wrist.Even the zhenqi in her whole body was not aroused, and her hands were irresistibly loosened. When she understood, the little face that had only appeared on the sand for a moment had sunk into the ground again. In a rage, she followed where the white light came from, and struck out with all her strength. However, her hands were frozen in mid-air. The person who came was actually Yang Yizhi. "You..." Yang Yizhi hesitated to speak, his eyes, which were almost always calm, were full of anger, as if Acacia had made an unforgivable mistake just now. Xiangsi was shocked by his angry look and didn't know what to do. At this time, a loud noise like thunder burst out from the ground, and the whole world seemed to explode and vibrate like a rebirth. Countless strands of dust gushed out from the depths of the ground like huge waves, and its power was stronger than the previous few earthquakes. More than a hundred times, Xiangsi has not yet understood, the tassel on his hand has broken into several pieces, and his body sinks rapidly with the churning dust. The ground did not sink in one direction, but divided into countless different forces, pulling and tearing each other, colliding continuously, until it turned into debris, and immediately joined another more crazy force. Xiangsi felt that her body was about to be torn into countless pieces, her wrists tightened suddenly, her body was already out of the soil, and flew away with the giant tree where Yang Yizhi came. The world is chaotic, and everything is howling, as if they are going through the pain of rebirth and death together. Yang Yizhi frowned, almost throwing Xiangsi back to Zhuo Wangsun's side. Zhuo Wangsun patted Xiangsi on the shoulder lightly, helped her stabilize her figure, and said indifferently: "Thank you, Leader Yang, for your help." Xiangsi broke free, glared at Yang Yizhi, and said, "Why are you stopping me?" Yang Yizhi turned around and looked at the earth pit below which was sinking continuously with the loud noise, and said in a deep voice, "Do you know what you are doing?" Xiangsi said: "I just want to save that innocent girl..." Xiangsi suddenly stopped talking, because for the first time when she saw this humble gentleman like a celebrity in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, her expression was terribly gloomy. Yang Yizhi stared at her, and said word by word: "You have just reversed the Formation of Rest." Acacia said anxiously: "The formation of peace, me?" Yang Yizhi said: "What you saw just now is the resting formation passed down by the people of the Wuchen Kingdom for generations. And the little girl you pulled is the hub of the whole formation." Xiangsi said: "The hub of the whole formation? Could it be, isn't it the mother who sacrificed her life to lift it out of the ground?" Yang Yizhi looked at her, shook his head slowly and said: "The formation of rest is launched with the power of the thick soil. It is a battle formation where the people of Wuchen and the enemy will perish together. It must be mobilized by the blood of the people of Wucheng to form a nine-star continuum. One of them must be the hub of the entire formation, standing at the highest point of the entire formation to maintain the power of the nine stars. Once activated, the lungs of the earth will vibrate and the air of the earth will flow out. All objects within a few miles sank into the ground and were sealed forever, so it was called the Resting Formation. However, the moment the battle formation was completed, you forcibly dragged the Nine-Star Hub out of the ground, and all the condensed and sinking earth energy was wiped out. The ground veins were entangled and broken, and the formation of peace turned into a formation of extinction. Not only did an extremely violent landslide occur on the ground, but also the bottom of the ground was completely boiling. Everything underground will be torn into pieces, including... and the bodies of the innocent citizens." Xiangsi seemed to feel something, her voice trembled: "Those corpses..." Yang Yizhi said: "That's right! Wuzhen people feed on the soil and live on the soil. Once they absorb the power of the center of the earth in the formation of reversing the rest, the energy will expand to an incredible level." He paused and said in a low voice: "The power of resurrection is of course no exception." Xiangsi's face paled instantly: "You mean they will be resurrected?" Yang Yizhi looked back at her, and said slowly: "Every piece of debris, every drop of blood will be revived—immediately!"
