156|The High and Narrow Road 2
by Jessie@AFNCCFlower City murmured, “No. It’s the earth.”
It is indeed the earth. Because, what was depicted in the picture were densely packed houses, trees, and people, however, they were all drowned in an endless sea of fire and flowing lava. The blurry red color that Xie Ren saw just now was the color of fire.
Houses and trees were burning, people were in flames, screaming. The distorted faces were so realistic that it was as if she could hear their screams in her ears.
In the center of the picture, there was a red mountain, as if it was a huge red furnace, it was horrible. The flames and magma were all coming out of the mountain’s mouth.
Xie Ren said, “The meaning of this mural is …… that the volcano erupted and Wuyong was destroyed?”
Flower City said, “Right. And not right.”
Xie Ren realized, said, “This statement is not accurate. Because this is …… a dream.”
This human tragedy below is supposed to depict Prince Wuyong’s dream.
Prince Wuyong and the four guardian deities were depicted with golden light around their bodies, indicating that he had already ascended at this time. He was being tormented by a nightmare, so the content, lines and colors of the dream were all “imaginary”, as opposed to “real”.
Some magi are so powerful and gifted that they can see the future in their dreams after seeing some small signs. That means they can have prophetic dreams. I wonder if this Prince’s dream came true? Is this how the Wunyong Kingdom was destroyed?
After pondering for a moment, Xie Ren said, “Someone must be trying to tell us something. The story of this mural is supposed to follow the last one, and I think, when we walk near the last ‘copper furnace’, we will be able to solve a lot of questions.”
It was at this moment that Ling Wen looked out the window and said, “Gentlemen, there is something that I have to ask, do you find it strange?”
Pei Ming said, “Where is it strange?”
Spirit Man said, “I don’t know if I’m misremembering, but were these two pinch-point mountain walls this close together before?”
Everyone looked out the window in unison. Sure enough, just when they came in, the mountain wall outside was about a foot away from the window, but now it was extremely close, as if it was about to stick up. Xie Ren wanted to go over to check, but heard a “kala kala” “creak creak” strange sound, as if the earth, wood, masonry was squeezed movement.
Now, everyone felt it and said, “What’s going on?”
Under the feet of the ground tiles in the trembling, overhead ceiling is also trembling, a piece of two pieces, rubble falling ash rustling down. Pei Ming said, “The ground is moving?”
As soon as the words fell, the wall had already been squeezed out a few lurid “folds”. Xie Ren said, “It’s not the earth moving! It’s ……”
It was the mountain walls on both sides that were squeezing towards this Uyon shrine in the center!
Too late to explain, he droned, “Run!”
Without him having to say anything, Pei Ming had already kicked down a wall and opened an exit. The crowd broke through the wall and ran forward, however, they were still running through the Wuyong Divine Hall, as this divine hall was very deep and long, and apart from one large hall, there were many side halls, small halls, incense rooms, Taoist rooms, and so on behind it, so the crowd only had to run along the way, breaking down walls and kicking in doors. At times like this, the Martial God’s style of action was really helpful. However, only after passing through two small halls, a half man tall boulder smashed through the roof and landed violently at Xie Ren’s feet.
It was above the mountain walls on both sides, falling boulders!
The sound of rumbling kept on, more boulders fell from the sky. The big ones are like water tanks, directly collapsing a whole roof, the small ones are also like human heads, falling from high up in the sky with amazing power, luckily there is a layer of roof blocking it, and the people are all in good hands, dodging in time. Only the flower city is the most leisurely, Xie Ren ran and flashed, suddenly heard aside he said, “Brother, come over?”
Turning back to look, Hua Cheng was a step away from him, steady as flying, took out his red umbrella from somewhere, and was smilingly looking at him underneath the umbrella. Those falling stones thumped onto the umbrella surface, Hua Cheng held the umbrella with one hand, not even shaking a bit!
Xie Ren immediately ducked under his umbrella and said, “So close, so close, fortunately there’s San Lang.”
Flower City laughed a little and thoughtfully tilted the umbrella toward him a little, saying, “Come a little this way.”
Despite the anachronism, Xie Ren couldn’t help but feel a slight movement in her heart and said, “Are you tired of holding it up like this? Do you want me to help you hold your umbrella ……”
The rest of them fled and dodged, running frantically, and when they saw how cozy their side was, they couldn’t take it anymore and couldn’t help but say, “Hey, this isn’t quite fair!”
“Lord Flower City can I ask if you have any extra umbrellas?!”
“Can I borrow a place to hide?!”
Flower City faked a smile, “No. Can’t.”
In the crowd of resistance | discussion, Xie Ren is also a little embarrassed, said: “This mountain is really strange ah!” He said he wanted to sneak out, but Hua Cheng took hold of him without any trace, and explained for him calmly: “My brother is right, this mountain is indeed strange, the weirdness of the essence of the strange. There are three big mountains in Copper Furnace Mountain, called ‘Old’, ‘Sick’ and ‘Dead’, although they are no different from ordinary mountains, but they can act automatically within the range of Copper Furnace Mountain, so some people regard them as landmarks of Copper Furnace Mountain. them as landmarks of Copper Furnace Mountain.”
The falling rocks above were smashing wildly, but there was harmony under the umbrella. Xie Ren said, “I see! The mountain that stopped our way when Rong Guang disguised himself as the Life Snatching Quick Dagger Demon before, was it one of these three mountain monsters?”
Spirit Man bobbed up and down on Pei Su’s back, still struggling to communicate, saying, “No wonder this Uyong Divine Hall is built in the center of the ‘canyon’ so weird, I’m afraid the location it originally chose to land in wasn’t so odd, it was the two mountain monsters that took the initiative to pinch it!”
Xie Ren said, “However, ‘birth, old age, sickness and death’, since there is ‘old age, sickness and death’, what about ‘birth’?”
Flower City said, “Unfortunately, there is no ‘raw’. At least I haven’t seen it.”
Xie Ren said, “Meaning no way to live? It’s really cruel!”
Immediately afterward, Halfmoon said, “The mountain walls are still closing in!”
When they first entered the canyon, the mountain road was about a dozen feet wide, and the more they traveled, the narrower it became, and when they reached the door of the Uyong Divine Hall, the road was less than ten feet, and now, the distance between the mountain walls on both sides was no longer more than three feet, and the houses and walls were all crumpled up, because the Uyong Divine Hall had used stone beams and other hard building materials to “jam” the mountain walls on both sides toward each other. The walls of the mountain that were leaning towards each other. But I’m afraid it won’t last long, Pei Ming said: ”The front and back are not accessible, so let’s break out of the roof and go up! It’s okay to face the rain of stones, just break the falling stones!”
Xie Ren, however, said, “No way! Right now there’s still the shrine stuck, and if we go up, in case the two mountain monsters strike a palm in mid-air or something, we’ll just be slapped to death by them!”
While speaking, both sides were approaching faster, kala kala kala, the place where everyone could stay was already less than two feet wide. In such a situation, Ling Wen still couldn’t move, and couldn’t help but say, “Gentlemen, can you take any measures quickly? If not, can you let go of me so that I can take measures myself? I don’t want to just be pinned|dead thank you???”
Fire on the ass, where are the measures so easy to think of? As the space for his body continued to shrink, shrinking to only one person’s length, Pei Ming suddenly let out a cry and leapt up in the air. His hands against the left side of the mountain wall, feet against the right side of the mountain wall, the whole person into a “thorn”, horizontally stuck in the middle of the two mountains, said: “is to be clamped | death, I fucking do not want to be clamped by this kind of thing | death. I’ll hold on, you guys think of something!”
“……”
The crowd was shocked by his move, and Ling Wen reluctantly gave him a thumbs up, saying, “Old Pei, a true man!”
Pei Ming gritted her teeth and said, “You’re welcome!”
The power of the Martial God goes without saying, those two mountain walls are still leaning towards the center, seems to be hard stuck by Pei Ming in a stalemate. But this was the effect of Pei Ming exploding all of his mana, surely it wouldn’t last long, and as Xie Ren was rapidly thinking of a way to get out of the situation, the two mountain monsters gained a slight upper hand, pressuring Pei Ming’s knees to bend slightly. Seeing that the situation was not good, Pei Su said, “Will, army me, come to help you!” As soon as he threw his shoulder Spirit Man to Half Moon, he also joined the ranks of the human card thorns together. But he was a mortal at the moment, what divine power? Jin Yi Xian in the body of the spirit text can be, but he is too dangerous, released only fear of adding fuel to the fire, the same as already fell into the jackal’s den also stepped on a poisonous snake. So, the half moon dropped the spirit text and said, “I also come ……”
However, after all, she is a small girl’s figure, not as long as two big men with long arms and legs, short, can not get stuck on the wall, so she had to slap a palm onto Pei Su’s back and channeled mana to him, Pei Su, which slowly stretched his knees together with Pei Ming. Two people power burst, face are a blood red, veins rise, and the group of people in the strongest mana flower city at the moment but turned the red umbrella on the sidelines, not active at all. Suddenly, Xie Ren slammed his fist on his hand and said, “There! Got it got it got it got it!”
There is a way out! Xie Ren said, “Since going forward and backward and upward won’t work, let’s go down! Let’s dig a hole for shelter!”
Spirit Man immediately said, “Good idea! Please start now!”
Pei Ming gritted his teeth and said, “Then …… please …… hurry up …… up!!!”
Xie Ren said, “Yes, yes, yes, yes!” Already used Fang Xin to frantically dig up a pit on the ground, digging up the flying sand and dirt and flinging it around. Hua Cheng was at the side giving him an umbrella, instead of working, he even advised, “Brother, stop digging, sit down and rest.”
The crowd couldn’t help themselves and all said, “Flower City Lord!!!”
Flower City said, “Hmm? Calling me for what?”
Ling Wen paralyzed on the ground and said, “City Lord Hua, you and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are also here, if you have a trick can you support one? After all, we all don’t want to turn into a stone slab sandwich.” There was another sentence that everyone didn’t have the heart to say: if you don’t have a trick, can you please go up and be a human card prick too? Although Xie Ren was anxious, she instinctively trusted him, and while digging a pit with her hands, she said, “Sanlang, don’t you have an idea?”
Hua Cheng laughed, “Brother and wait, there is no need for you to do it, it will be fine in a while.”
Right now it was all on fire, and even though everyone felt that he should have a solution, they still couldn’t help but feel that their asses were burning to death. Ling Wen was about to say more, but Xie Ren suddenly said, “What’s that noise?”
In the midst of the rumble of boulders falling from the sky, there appeared another strange sound that was rapidly approaching. Clack clack clack! Click-click-click-click! Extremely fast and quick, getting closer and closer, and Xie Ren felt that this sound was a bit familiar, seemed to have heard it somewhere before, stopped frantically plowing the pit, and said, “Is this …… this mofo?!”
As soon as the words left his mouth, a piece suddenly collapsed around his feet, revealing a black hole large enough for two people to burrow down. In the hole, the head of a shovel rose, reflecting snowy white light!
Geomancer’s Treasure Shovel!
The shovel lit up and quickly retracted back into the hole. Hua Cheng said, “A little late, but in time. Let’s go.”
Without saying a word, Xie Ren first grabbed Spirit Man and threw him in, followed by Half Moon and Pei Su and Pei Ming. Losing the “thorn” stuck in the middle, the two mountain monsters steeply accelerated their movement, and amidst the sound of rolling, Hua Cheng stopped and wrapped his arms around Xie Ren, saying, “Quickly go!” After saying that, he hugged him and jumped into the tunnel. Xie Ren only felt immersed in a darkness, and then, a loud boom came from above.
The two mountains, finally, fit together completely!
If they were still up there right now, they would have been crushed to a pulp. After the shock had subsided a little, one or two tiny flames flared up in the darkness. Xie Ren looked at the tunnel they were in at the moment, not too wide and not too narrow, neat and tidy, worthy of being a passageway dug out by a geomancer’s treasure shovel. The few people who fell first were lying on the ground, panting slightly. Hua Cheng let go of his waist, and Xie Ren also took down the hand that had unconsciously climbed onto his shoulder, and looked at the black-robed man who was holding the shovel.
The man in black was also panting, pestle and shovel, wiping several handfuls of cold sweat. Xie Ren approached a few steps closer and took a closer look. This person seems to be a clean and tidy good young man, handsome but also handsome, looks less can have a seven points, just, but not much personality. Must be, in normal life must be the kind of person whose existence is very thin.
When Xie Ren came to him, the man in black looked up and said, “The Crown Prince s Palace ……”
Without waiting for him to finish, Xie Ren had already grabbed him by the pulse and said, “Where is Master Feng?”
The man in black froze and said, “Huh? This …… this I don’t know.”
Xie Ren spat out a breath and solemnly said, “Why does His Excellency Blackwater need to reenact? Your vengeance is your business, but Master Wind Master has at least one friendship with you, and has not done anything to harm the heavens and the earth, so I still hope ……”
At that moment, Ling Wen interrupted him, ”Blackwater? Your Highness, why do you think he is Blackwater? The face looks different, right?”
Xie Ren turned back and said suspiciously, ”Because he’s holding the Earth Master’s Treasure Shovel. Moreover, do you all not know the essentials of transforming? This face is so flat and unimpressive that it can’t be picked out immediately when thrown into a pile of people, it’s bound to be a fake face ah.”
The head had first spoken of the method of transformation, and the face of the young man in black at the moment was perfectly suited to the first essentials of a good fake skin: mediocrity.
Even if you stare at his face for an hour, go to sleep, and get up the next day and forget all about what he looks like, wouldn’t it be absolutely a fake face made out of plastic?
“……”
However, after a long time, that black clothed youth said, “I am sorry, Your Highness the Crown Prince, but I …… me, really look like this.”
“……”
Hua Cheng also walked over and coughed lightly, saying, “Brother, this, is really not Black Water.”
“……”
What?
Flower City said, “This is indeed his true appearance as well.”
Turns out, it’s a real natural roadie face!
Xie Ren covered his forehead with one hand, and in a moment, he changed to fold his hands and slightly owed an apology, “…… I’m sorry.”
He actually took it for granted, and actually outright said that he was mediocre looking and couldn’t be plucked out of a pile of throwbacks, right in front of people. There was no way around it, because this face of his was just too standard of a positive example of Transformation!
That black-clothed youth was also embarrassed to the extreme, waving his hands and saying, “It’s fine, it’s fine, I’ve long gotten used to it ……”
Ling Wen then said, “Your Highness Guanyu, this time it’s thanks to you.”
