Volume 1: Winds Rising From the Mountains and Swamps Chapter 119: Fighting the Fire
Lin Yi drove a carriage and followed the Tianlong sect forward for another three days.
It was getting late, and the carriage and horses came to a stop in a small valley with dense woods. After receiving the order from the front, Lin Yi unloaded the carriage and looked at the leeward valley in front of him. Here, the terrain is low-lying and surrounded by mountains and forests. It should be a good place to camp.
As the bright bonfire rose, the aroma of barbecue filled the air, and the disciples' laughter spread far in the night wind.
Lin Yi still lived in isolation. He took a piece of barbecue by the campfire, then left alone and leaned silently next to the carriage. He tore off a piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth, eating it slowly. Occasionally, I pick up a small wine gourd and take a sip of the delicious wine.
Fortunately, I bought a few more jars to take with me before leaving. Apart from the ones given away, there are still dozens of kilograms in the Qiankun bag. Even if you are thousands of miles away from home, you should drink a little less of this wine.
Lin Yi was not an alcoholic. He just took a sip of wine and the fairy top that was getting farther and farther behind him would suddenly come back to his eyes clearly, as if he could see it when he turned around.
Picking up the purple gold gourd in his hand and gently stroking it, Lin Yi's eyes showed warmth.
…
The moon is high in the sky, and under a silver hook, the light is faint.
There was silence in the valley.
Most of the Tianlong Sect disciples fell asleep. Under the cart, Lin Yi curled up like a bow, as if sleeping soundly.
A few faint owl crows could be heard in the distance, causing several of the vigil disciples of the Tiger Dragon Hall to shrink their heads.
Lying under the cart, Lin Yi could not meditate. The breath circulates around the sky, but it can also make the spiritual platform clear and clear. It is really helpless to perform this kind of exercise. Although it has little benefit on cultivation, it is still effective in restoring physical strength.
Lin Yi, who seemed to be sleeping, suddenly opened his eyes and frowned slightly. After hesitating for a moment, he lifted up the raincloth and looked outside.
This was a raincloth covering the cart. Lin Yi tore off an extra piece and blocked it in a circle around the cart every night when camping. It was obviously to protect him from the wind and rain, but actually he didn't want others to see his figure. In the middle of the night last time, after going out with Meng Shan, it took a lot of trouble to come back. A big living person was lying under the car, unobstructed and anyone could see it. There is a raincloth covering people's eyes and ears, which makes things much easier.
On an early spring night in northern Xinjiang, the cold air hit me. Beside the bonfire, several night watch disciples gathered around the fire to keep warm. There was no other movement around the camp.
Lin Yi got out of the cart anyway, walked to a secluded place, and looked around. The disciples who were alerted and saw that it was the coachman who was getting up for the night, didn't care.
The camp was surrounded by low hills. The cold wind blew across Lin Yi's face. He twitched his nose fiercely. There was the smell of fireworks in the wind.
Lin Yi couldn't help but let go of his consciousness and looked up. The hills blocked the view, and the sky in the distance turned a strange bright red. He no longer hesitated and rushed up the hill in a few steps, his expression changed drastically!
Two or three miles away, the tall, dry woods were ignited with raging fires and gradually became one. The fire took advantage of the wind, and the wind pushed the fire head, and it was spreading towards the camp.
Lin Yi hurriedly looked back and looked around. There were flames all around, and the fire was about to encircle him.
The fire had not been burning for a while, but the Tianlong Sect camp was located in a low-lying area. In the dead of night, the vigil disciples only listened to the nearby movements, but did not notice the fire a few miles away.
Without any time to think about it, Lin Yi jumped down the hill and shouted at the disciples who were keeping watch: "The forest is on fire! Let's go quickly -!" He shouted, ran to the parking place in a few steps, and quickly grabbed the car. Get up the carriage.
After a few breaths, there was no movement in the camp. Lin Yi didn't dare to stop. He turned around and saw that several disciples had blank faces and were still whispering curiously. His voice may have been too sudden, and no one in their sleep responded.
Lin Yi shook his head in anger and ran over to hitch the second horse. It was really unbearable for everyone to die in the fire, but no one paid attention to his warning.
"Look up -!" Lin Yi was busy hurriedly around the carriage, and he couldn't help shouting again.
There was finally movement in the tent in the camp. Seeing this, Lin Yi shouted loudly: "If you don't want to die, get up and run for your life -!"
Several disciples who were watching the night noticed something unusual in the sky in the distance. They jumped up and ran up the hill in three steps and two steps at a time. Then they roared heartbreakingly:
"The forest is on fire——!"
"Everyone, get up—!"
The camp was instantly filled with the sound of footsteps and the noise of people.
"What are you shouting about? What's on fire?"
"Go and see where the fire is!"
"Is it really burning? How could this forest be on fire?"
"Look there, there are fires all around. I'm surrounded by fires!"
"..."
Elder Meng, Zhen Yuanzi and others also ran to the hill.
The sky in the distance was as bright as day, and the fire was raging fiercely. The scorching air waves came with the night wind, making people suffocate.
"Elder Meng, the northwest wind is blowing fiercely. The incoming route has been cut off by the fire, and the outgoing route is also blocked by the fire. Let the disciples evacuate immediately!" The sudden fire made Zhen Yuanzi look horrified, and he reminded him promptly.
"All disciples, listen to the order and go east quickly. Quick! Quick! Quick!" Elder Meng waved his arms and shouted. If you are really surrounded by fire, no matter how great you are, facing this red hell of fire, you can only sigh and sigh, it is a dead end.
The only way now is to escape!
"Who is that person——?" After Meng Shan gave the order, he was about to jump down the hill with Zhen Yuanzi when he saw a carriage rushing eastward with the neighing of horses. The disciples were still in a hurry, and some had not yet found their horses. Lin Yi had already rushed ahead in his carriage.
"Junior brother Lin, come and help me——!" Jin Ke shouted with a crying voice.
Lin turned around and saw Jin Ke stamping his feet around the carriage. The horse was frightened, and he couldn't get on to the shaft, and was shouting desperately.
If the carriage was burned, Jinke's trip would be over. No one would take a coachman eastward with nothing to do.
At such a critical moment, although I don't know if Junior Brother Lin will help him, just like the instinct of survival, at this moment, Lin Yi is Jinke's only hope.
Lin Yi frowned slightly, turned around and jumped out of the running carriage, and took a few steps to Jin Ke's cart. The carriage he was driving rushed forward like a human being.
Ignoring Jin Ke's grateful bows, Lin gently held the horse's neck with his palm, and the restless horse immediately calmed down. He gently pulled the bridle, and the horse obediently approached the shaft. Jin Ke was overjoyed and hurriedly followed him to hitch the cart.
The incident occurred suddenly, and all the disciples in the camp were panicked for a moment, but they were all extremely alert. From time to time, there was the sound of horse hooves, and the disciples galloped away one after another on their horses.
Meng Shan saw clearly that the man just now was Lin Yi. He snorted coldly, took the reins handed over by his disciple, got on his horse, and said to Zhen Yuanzi: "Taoist Master, let's go quickly——!"
Zhen Yuanzi took a deep look at Lin Yi who was busy and did not dare to delay. He nodded to Elder Meng, then took his two apprentices and left using Qinggong.
In the blink of an eye, Lin Yi, who was the first to leave, had fallen to the end together with Jin Ke. Even Huang Jiaqi, riding on the same horse as others, disappeared without a trace.
The carriage was already harnessed. Lin Yi looked out into the distance and saw that the fire in the east was about to close up. He shook the reins and shouted in a low voice: 'Drive -! "
The carriage rushed forward violently, causing Jin Ke to stagger and almost fall off the car. He was so frightened that he grabbed Lin Yi to steady himself. He was afraid that Junior Brother Lin would be angry, so he quickly let go. I want to accompany you with a smile. But the other person was looking straight ahead, sitting as steady as a rock in front of the car, and ignored him at all.
As he looked back and forth, Jin Ke realized that he was at the end, and he couldn't help feeling panicked!
Lin Yi drove the carriage eastward along the road. Two or three miles ahead, a fire shot up to a height of ten or twenty feet. The raging flames reaching the sky had reached the intersection. There was a huge wall of fire with no end in sight, blocking the path. Front. Most of the people from the Tianlong Sect fled. A mile or two in front of the carriage, there were only two figures on horseback, twisted and swaying by the firelight.
The fire has blocked half of the intersection.
"It's over, I can't run out, I'm going to be burned to death——!" Jin Ke wailed desperately.
Lin was expressionless, the reins in his hands shook slightly, and the carriage ran very fast, heading straight forward.
The two horses in front were about to rush out of the intersection, but the hot air waves made the horses neigh. A horse raised its front hooves and kicked wildly, then fell back again. The disciple on the horse was beaten hard, and the horse neighed, turned around and ran back, causing the disciple on the horse to yell anxiously. The other horse was also frightened, jumped up and down, and ran straight into the woods nearby.
The oncoming horse ran very fast and jumped past the carriage in an instant.
"Help me——!" Immediately, the disciple's exclamation suddenly stopped. He only felt his body rising into the air, and an iron hand grabbed his back by the collar. Before he could recover, he saw that he had fallen in front of the carriage. , was tightly carried into the arms of the outer disciple who was driving, unable to move at all.
This person was the inner disciple whose ribs were broken by a wild boar when he first left Jiulong Mountain. The moment he passed the carriage, Lin Yiqing relaxed his arms and pulled him off the horse.
The space in front of the cart was narrow, and Lin Yi could only hold it on his knees to prevent it from moving. The current situation is critical and there is no need to worry about so much.
The intersection in front of us arrived in an instant, and the fire was blocking the intersection. A sea of fire was in front of our eyes, and a scorching heat wave hit our faces.
Lin's eyes narrowed slightly. He pulled the reins with his arm and hit the horse hard. The two horses driving the shaft neighed at the same time, pulling the carriage into the sea of fire as if they were crazy.
The carriage was instantly surrounded by flames, with fire raging from above, below, left and right. Jin Ke felt that his face was burning unbearably, his clothes and eyebrows were on fire, and he couldn't help but scream.
Lin Yi didn't wait for Jin Ke to make a sound, stretched out his hand to grab his collar, used both arms hard, and shouted loudly: "Go--!" He swung his left and right hands forward, and Jin Ke and the disciple on his left had their limbs in the air. Throw it high, pass through the sea of fire in the blink of an eye, and fly out.
The moment they were thrown out, the disciple who was frightened by the horse had already run away.
There was no time to think about it. Under the movement of spiritual power, a layer of vague white brilliance penetrated the body and protected Lin Yi's whole body. He quickly performed the trick, and a whirlwind enveloped the speeding carriage, whizzing away——
