Chapter 13 Chapter Thirteen: Fury of Fire

The next scene is no longer above the earth, but on a vast grassland, the sky is extremely clean and clear, and the surroundings are silent. Lan Ruisi and Grexin stood quietly on the branch of a big tree, and saw a shy deer walking quietly on the grassland, looking around the peaceful surroundings, and grazing with its head down. However, on this large grassland, there are dead bodies lined up all over the place. On the ground, a broken flag was half-inserted on a burnt military vehicle, and some places were still emitting green smoke. Those dead bodies were wearing ancient costumes, the cloth quality was poor, and their weapons were rather old-fashioned. Part of it is made of metal, but it is obvious that the forging work is still quite backward.

It seems that this is the tragic situation left after a great battle. Lan Ruisi roughly counted and found that there were at least a thousand dead bodies. "Hello!" He whispered, "What era is this?" Greixin shook his head, his figure was still blurred in the bright space, and he could only be seen vaguely.Strangely, at this time, Lan Ruisi realized that his face was different from the one seen in the time and space of the Twelve Star Chart. "Your appearance..." He pointed to Grexin and asked a little stammeringly. "To me, appearance is meaningless," Grexin said, "I am more used to existing in the form of soul group, because it will be more free, but if necessary, I can choose a body at will in this era Once you enter, you can use physical activities, but recently I have rarely done such things because it is unnecessary. My appearance changes at any time, and there is nothing to be surprised about.”

"Understood," Lan Ruisi said, "But, what kind of place is this?" "Judging from the appearance and weapons of these people, it looks like ancient China," Grexin said, "Maybe you know more about these things than I do." "I don't understand either." Lan Ruisi said sincerely: "But I seem to have seen the pattern of that weapon in a museum." "Their knives are not well sharpened, so the metal forging skills should not be very good," Grexin mused: "But judging from the deflection of the sun angle, this should be the time and space within the first thousand years BC."

"What deflection of sun angle?" "Oh! That's right," Grexin said with a smile, "I keep traveling through different time and space like me. Over time, I have come to understand a set of methods for calculating the date and time. All the written and historical records are actually useless. Because in the time and space I have been to, there are many civilization histories that are not of the same system at all. However, although human civilization is not credible, there is one thing that will not change in any time and space.” "what?" "This kind of thing is nature, and the messages from nature are forever hidden," Grexin said. "For example, the codes from astronomy. The relative positions and angles of the stars are fixed, as long as you can see any deflection angle, you can calculate the correct era. Like the ancient Mayan civilization, even the Egyptian pyramids all contain such astronomical codes, which can make Posterity deduced the correct date."

If the theory that Grexin said at this moment appeared in a famous speech in a major museum in the twentieth century, Lan Ruisi would be very interested, but in the current situation, he feels that he is not interested. "Anyway, this is the time and space of ancient China, isn't it?" "That's right," Greixin said affirmatively, "And I think it might be a so-called 'Wu Yue Contest for Hegemony' war." Wu Yue struggles for hegemony? Lan Ruisi has a certain degree of understanding of this period of history.It was a very famous war-torn era in the ancient Warring States period. The Wu and Yue countries in the south of China had decades of grievances and enmities, and later generations are familiar with "Wu Zixu passed Shaoguan", "The King of Yue tasted courage", "Fan Li and Xi Shi" And other legends appeared in this period.

"So, Jie'er has been here too, hasn't she?" "Well!" Greixin said: "But you didn't stay for too long, because although you have come to the surface, you still only stay in the state of observation." Lan Ruisi couldn't understand such a statement. "What do you mean?" He wondered, "Observation status?" "The trajectory you are walking now is actually closely related to the journey Jie'er has traveled," Greixin said, "That is to say, whatever she has experienced, you will have a very similar experience. According to my observation, The time-travel mode of the Zodiac is very much like a kind of safari-safari activity where the visitor is physically present but not in direct contact with the observed environment, unless…”

"Unless what?" "Unless there is an accident, like what happened to you before, the situation where you were almost pulled away by some force." "Would such an accident happen to Jie'er?" "It's not just Jie'er, it's possible even for you, that's why I told you to hold on to the chain of time." Between the words of the two, the Wuyue battlefield in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Period gradually disappeared like a spring rain in the afternoon, and came to the next time and space. The sky with different shades of color appeared in front of my eyes as if filled with many different spaces. It felt a bit like the time passage of the twelve star chart when Lan Ruisi first met Gray Xin.

And the land in front of me is like a poorly put together jigsaw puzzle, with unimaginably strange mountains and rivers appearing from time to time. The golden sun shone in the distant sky, but upon closer inspection, it was not the sun, but something like a living creature, moving slowly in the golden light, gliding in the air along a smooth trajectory. On the plain, in the distance, in the four directions of southeast, north and south, there are looming high mountains. Those high mountains are like towering pillars, piercing into the sky slenderly. giant stalactite columns. Suddenly, there was a loud bang, with the faint sound of fire and water in the bang, Lan Ruisi turned his head intuitively following the sound, but saw the most astonishing scene he had ever seen in his life.

It was a frightening scene of a battle between a group of incomparably huge fire and a huge human figure with rippling water. In the flames, a giant dragon could be vaguely seen, and sometimes it looked like a huge red human figure. Under the strange sky, This gigantic battle of water and fire was like the end of the world. The fire and water waves eclipsed the surrounding scenery. Lan Ruisi roughly estimated that the fire and water lines were several hundred meters high, that is to say, their volume was not inferior to any skyscrapers in any city. There were scorched black marks on the ground, and the water wave of the water-marked giant also moxibusted high-heat water vapor.Occasionally, between the water and fire, the two sides transform into huge human figures, one is golden and the other is light gray, but the two sides attack each other dizzyingly, and the death fight refuses to stop.

The water-marked giant was still shouting loudly while attacking, and the voice was like wind and thunder, and it spread far away. "Do you still want to say you don't remember? Do you still want to say you forgot me?" His voice resounded through the sky, "We used to practice like this before, can you just say forget it?" But the human-like giant didn't say a word, his arms spread out, emitting a stronger flame. With a loud "pop", the fire giant drew a circle with both palms, and then heavily imprinted on the water giant's chest, and punched it out. The momentum was so fierce and powerful that the water giant seemed to "hum" , was soared into the sky by this palm, his huge body drew an arc in the sky, and fell heavily on the ground, the water waves on his body spread out, sparking brilliant sprays.

The moment the water giant landed on the ground, it was scattered on the ground like shattered jelly, but after a while it condensed back into a human form. Under the ripples of the water, his appearance became more and more clear like the reflection of the water surface. . In the water light, the appearance of the giant gradually changed into a huge heroic man, and he didn't make any movements, just stared at the fiery giant in a daze.At this time, the fire giant's flames became even brighter, spitting out flames in all directions as if angry. Suddenly, the water giant burst into tears. "You don't remember me, you don't remember!" In the sound of crying, he turned around and staggered into water patterns, and ran to the rear. After a while, he disappeared on the plain. The fire giant still didn't move, but the fire light behind him gradually weakened, and, like the water giant just now, gradually revealed its shape in the fire light. Lan Ruisi stared blankly at this unheard-of battle, a little absent-minded, and the chain of time tightly held in his hands gradually relaxed. Suddenly, Ge Leixin let out a low cry. "Ah!" He seemed to have lost his mind, and his tone was a little dazed. "Why... could it be her?" From the firelight, the appearance of the fire giant gradually appeared. Although he couldn't see clearly in the swaying fire for a while, he could vaguely see his slender face, which seemed to be quite beautiful. In a daze, Lan Ruisi watched the face of the fire giant gradually appear in the firelight, with slender lips, straight nose bridge, and thin chin... Because he was so engrossed in watching, he unknowingly let go of the chain of time tightly held in his hand. And Grexin also seemed to have lost his soul, and also stared at the fire giant, muttering to himself. "How could it be her... how could it become like this...?" Gray Xin's bewildered words came to Lan Ruisi's ears word by word, as if he was looking at the gradually beautiful face of the fire giant. Although he still couldn't see clearly, it was enough to make him feel extremely emotional Agitation. Because of this, neither of them noticed that the breeze around them had reappeared. And Lan Ruisi didn't realize that the chain of time was no longer in his hand. In the light of the fire, the original form of the fire giant was a beautiful woman with puffy hair, but there was a long scar on her cheek. At this moment, she stood coldly on the plain, and the fire around her was still violently swallowing flames. scar? At this moment, Lan Ruisi was completely engrossed, and in the strange agitation of his mind, he had a false association. Through the scar, he thought of Rael. But Leier's figure is connected with the woman singing gracefully in the dream. The woman in the dream turned out to be Jie'er who was gently kissed in his arms... Therefore, although the face of the giant woman who appeared in the firelight did not necessarily resemble Jie'er, Lan Ruisi still shouted at the top of her lungs in despair. "Jie'er!" Almost at the same moment, amidst his heart-piercing roar, he heard Grexin screaming in panic. "Stupid! You..." However, what Grexin said next could no longer be heard clearly, because in this very short moment, Lan Ruisi's body and mind were like a liquid being drawn away at a high speed, and they all left his consciousness , The sights, sounds, and smells in front of him suddenly turned into a hopeless blank, and the whole person fell into endless darkness. However, at the moment when he lost consciousness, Lan Ruisi occasionally remembered that what Grexin said about not concentrating, the possible dire consequences... Of course, it's only now that I think of it, it's too late... Because what Lan Ruisi fell into at this moment is the real time abyss.
