weave fire.

Outside the Grand Canyon where the town is isolated from the rest of the world.

Going east for tens of miles, dozens of cavalry in black and iron armor are coming quickly. There is no fixed road section in the deep mountain. Whenever the cavalry is about to lose their way, the leading man in black will take a look at the distant sky to confirm the direction.

After a while, the whole team of cavalry finally arrived at the outskirts of the canyon, and there was a horizontal line of ground fire burning in front of everyone.

"Zhihuo doesn't welcome strangers!"

Huotu Xin stood outside the canyon, holding the fire teeth and waving to release the fire energy in them, looking coldly at the many masked black armored cavalry.

"Fire weaving? Hehe."

The leading cavalry leader chuckled, and then slowly took off his mask, revealing a fleshy face covered with fat bumps, with only the whites of the eyes left, and a purple metal object like a winding snake was inlaid on the fleshy part of his forehead.

"This is Earth Fire? It seems that the rumors are true, you are the Fire Weaver?" The cavalry leader looked at Earth Fire in front of him, his weird fleshy face squeezed slightly, and the whites of his eyes lowered to reveal dark and weird eyeballs.

The Zhihuo tribe has been living in the deep mountains from the beginning to the end, shouldering the responsibility of suppressing the earth fire, and rarely interacts with the outside world. The understanding of the earth fire by outsiders is basically in the books.

After all, there is no one who has to go to the deep mountains to find this kind of useless item that can't be taken away except to burn himself to death.

"Knowing that this is a ground fire, why don't you retreat quickly?!"

Huo Tu Xin threatened again, turning the fire teeth slightly in his hand, and the fire in front of him was a little bit bigger.

The leader of the cavalry didn't care about the fire in front of him. He looked at the weapon in Huo Tuxin's hand and said, "You are Huoya, right? I heard that the fire weavers made your Huoya so that it can absorb and release fire from the ground. It’s a good tool for extinguishing fire, and it can also be used for self-defense.”

As he spoke, his words suddenly stopped, and he raised his right hand slightly, "But I don't like to use halberds, I prefer to use knives."

A purple dizzy light bloomed from the purple metal object on the forehead of the cavalry leader.

"I don't care what you..." Before Huo Tu Xin finished speaking, he felt that his right hand holding Huo Ya was out of control, and with a brush of his arm, Huo Fang was thrown to the ground, and his body was also fixed in place. ground, unable to move.

The raging fire lying in front of the cavalry lost the continuous input of the fire energy in the fire teeth, and immediately became like a rootless weed, and the fire gradually weakened.

The scorching breath immediately weakened.

The leading cavalry commander was still relentless, and said, "This is the first time I came to weave fire. I didn't bring any gifts. It's really rude. In that case,"

"Take you as a meeting gift!"

After the words fell, Huo Tu Xin's arm moved uncontrollably, as if an invisible force controlled the movement of his arm, he reached out and pulled out the small knife at his waist, and then held the knife across his neck.

"who are you?"

Huo Tu Xin was about to burst into tears, his forehead was covered with sweat, and he was struggling with the force that controlled his body.

The cavalry leader did not answer, but looked at Huo Tu Xin with interest. Whenever he was about to regain control and take the dagger away from his neck, the purple metal object on his forehead glowed again, and the control on Huo Tu Xin became stronger and stronger. .

The whole person is getting more and more uncomfortable.

Seeing that Huo Tu Xin was going to be unable to hold on, when he cut his neck with his own dagger, a female voice suddenly came from the canyon:
"Stop playing, he's still useful!"

From the shadow of the canyon came out a pretty woman wearing a purple tights and black leather armor.

"What is the use?"

The leader of the cavalry frowned slightly, but the strength in his hands remained at a level that kept Huo Tu Xin neither out of control nor without any room for struggle.

"He may be the close relative of whoever we are looking for." The woman in black walked up to Huo Tu Xin and stretched out her hand to remove the sharp dagger that was placed across her neck by himself.

"...Is there no one else in Zhihuo who can threaten him?" The cavalry commander was silent for a while, and then asked again.

"I've only just arrived. If you're willing to try, you can kill him yourself. But if the mission fails, you will bear the consequences for Lord Hou."

The woman in black inserted Huo Tu Xin's dagger into the scabbard at his waist, then looked at the commander on horseback and said with a smile.

"..."

The commander of the cavalry had an ugly face, narrowed his eyes and looked at the woman in front of him dangerously, and waved his hands after a while, "Go weave fire!"

At the same time, Huo Tu Xin's body was out of control again, and he freely walked in front of the team to lead the cavalry.

The cavalry quickly moved towards the canyon, and the sound of hooves gradually disappeared.

The dust gradually dispersed.

The woman in black who stayed at the spot narrowed her eyes slightly, and said in a low voice after being silent for a while: "I don't know if the kindness of saving once is enough~"

……

……

weaving fire,

Linglong's home.

Linglong carefully stood at the door and watched for a while, and after making sure that the patriarch and Uncle Chifang had gone to other homes, she was slightly relieved, and then carefully bolted the door, and then went upstairs.

"Whoo~~~~~~"

"...People are gone, it's time to get up."

"~Hoo~ Yah...Hoo..."

"..."

Standing by the side, Linglong sighed slightly, seeing someone who was sleeping soundly calmed down inexplicably, a strange thought flashed through her mind, and her face turned red immediately.

Quickly calming down her mood, Lu Ming guessed that she would not be able to wake up, so she began to refold the clothes she had just taken out and arrange them neatly.

"Strange, why do I always feel that I have done this before..."

While tidying up, Linglong secretly wondered.

"What did you do?"

A curious voice came from beside her ear, Linglong was slightly taken aback when she heard it, then raised her head and snorted coldly, "Didn't you just stay awake? Or did you say you were asleep?"

"Oh, I'm just kidding, I'm thin-skinned, I'm not used to it." Lu Ming smiled obsequiously, rubbed his head, and felt strange in his heart.

Obviously I should be flustered, or I am a little embarrassed, but why is it suddenly so peaceful and normal, and everything seems to be normal.

Am I such a shameless person?
"..."

"Everyone is gone, why are you still in my bed?"

Linglong tugged at the quilt, but couldn't pull it out completely, so she urged.

"It's... well,"

Lu Ming had no choice but to get off the bed, who threatened to sleep with that just now?

What a ruthless woman.

snort!
Lu Ming asked, "By the way, what are they doing at your house?"

Linglong tidied up the last piece of quilt and said, "Just the hanging crystal in the sky, the patriarch and the others were frightened, afraid that outsiders would come to Zhihuo to do something, so they planned to let the old people and children in the clan go first. The ancestors took shelter in the mine, that is, they stopped by to inform me."

"This is not the way, your home is not in the town."

Propping his chin with one hand, Lu Ming acted like he was in deep thought, and then said, "I think it's a sign of their guilt. Of course, it may also be the selflessness and noble character of your patriarch."

"owe?"

Linglong was puzzled.

"Yes, didn't I tell you before in the cave that you were unfamiliar with the Weaving Fire Clan, it was your illusion, the illusion when you were a child, you see now that as you grow up, more people in the tribe still accept you, so They will feel guilty for alienating you so much in the past, including moving your family to live outside."

"Only in this way can it be explained. You are obviously outside the town, the farthest distance from the patriarch and your Uncle Chifang are the first to come to your house and inform you to take refuge."

Lu Ming continued to smile and said: "We need to have a pair of eyes that are good at discovering the beauty of life. You are the person involved. Tell me, is my reasoning correct?"

Linglong raised her head slightly, frowned and thought about it for a while, then nodded slightly, "Well, it seems that the patriarch and Uncle Chifang really took care of me a lot."

"They have always taken good care of you, but your perspective is different. You have to thank me for answering your questions and opening a window for your spiritual beauty." The corner of Lu Ming's mouth was quite narcissistic.

"Tch, they treat me well, what are you doing?"

Linglong rolled his eyes at him, and asked again, "By the way, will there really be outsiders coming to Zhihuo?"

The history of weaving fire has been quiet for countless years. Except for the turmoil of the ground fire, there seems to be no other major changes. Outsiders rarely see it. In Linglong's limited life, Lu Ming is the first outsider she has seen. .

And, still a king.

Although he is a little out of tune and likes to talk, he feels really good to Linglong. It is an indescribable feeling, like two people who have been together for a long time, and are already familiar with all the good and bad things about each other .

Although... this face is still a little bit irritating.

Lu Ming squinted at Linglong, with an expression on his face that you don't believe me that I paid by mistake. When he saw that Linglong was about to step forward, he pointed to the flashing light in the sky, "When did I ever lie to you?"

"Since Xuanjing is in the sky, people from the outside world will definitely come. No one is so stupid that he will not let people come over after releasing Xuanjing. Even if money is used as scrap iron, it is not used like this."

"Since outsiders will enter Zhihuo, should I go to the ancestral mine? And where is my father?" Linglong asked, "He usually doesn't leave home for such a long time, and he just wanted to find me before. "

"Your father...and outsiders."

Lu Ming pondered for a while, but couldn't think of a reason, and asked, "Is there a place where you can look down and see the whole Zhihuo Town?"

"If you see the entire Zhihuo Town, there is only the Glory Stone." Linglong quickly gave the answer, after all, she has lived in this land since she was a child, and she is very familiar with the surrounding environment.

"Take me there now." Lu Ming said: "No matter who comes in to weave the fire, we must first see the person before we can think of a countermeasure. It is useless to be anxious."

"Okay, where is the patriarch?"

Linglong hasn't forgotten, just now she promised the patriarch and Uncle Chifang to go to the ancestral mine later.

Lu Ming looked at Linglong strangely, "Are you always so obedient?"

Obviously, he sneaked into Yan Xiqiang alone last night, so why is he so sensible today, and he still considers the feelings of the patriarch and the others.

"I... Forget it, then ignore the patriarch and the others."

"I knew you were not an obedient child~"

Linglong glared at Lu Ming angrily, which made the handsome boy calm down.

After a while, the two went downstairs,
"Why did you lock the door so tightly?"

"...Let's go?"

…………

dusk is approaching,

Outside Zhihuo Town, dozens of black cavalry rushed towards the town, the sound of rumbling horseshoes was deafening, the patriarch of the town center stood in front of the brown drum and looked up at the sky.

A black cloud seemed to strike, and the oppressive atmosphere permeated the entire Weaving Fire Town.

At the corner next to it, Chifang ran over quickly:

"Patriarch, enough food and water have been prepared, and arrangements have been made for the elderly and children, but Linglong suddenly disappeared, and his father, Huo Tu Xin, has not been found either."

"The father and daughter... Forget it, let's get over the difficulties before us and then talk about other things."

The patriarch's face was slightly angry, and then he sighed and looked at the flashing light in the sky, "It's just a few days, just get over it."

Just as he was talking, there was sudden commotion in front of him. After a while, people from the tribe came to say that Huo Tu Xin had been found, but his state was a bit strange.

The patriarch and Chi Fang heard the sound and looked, only to see Huo Tu Xin's face was pale, holding a dagger to his chest with both hands,
The patriarch immediately scolded: "Huo Tu Xin, what are you doing?"

"ah!"

The answer to the patriarch was Huo Tu Xin Zhi Ya's repressed hoarse voice and his painfully distorted face.

"What's the matter with you?" The patriarch also saw that something was wrong with Huo Tu Xin, and quickly said to Chi Fang next to him, "Go and take off the top of his neck."

"I didn't ask to take it down, who dares to move?!"

Before Chi Fang could move, there was a buzzing sound from the corner of the street. Everyone looked for the sound, and the horseshoes came from far to near. Dozens of black armored cavalry rushed over quickly, kicking up several meters of dust.

The black armor walked out of the dusty area, and the cavalry leader looked at the many fire weavers and asked, "You, who is the patriarch?"

"I am, who are you? Why do you want to hurt my people?"

The patriarch stood up.

"I'm here to ask for someone for Marquis Pingjiang. As long as you don't make trouble, I'll take him and leave. If you don't know how to praise, then,"

The metal object on the leader's head released a purple halo again, "This will be your end."

Huo Tu Xin raised his arm and was about to stab at his neck. Seeing this, Chi Fang next to him swung his Fire Fang to knock down the dagger, and then Fire Fang streaked across the ground and an orange flame rose up.

Seeing this, Zhihuo around him waved his fire teeth to release the ground fire, but just as he raised his arm halfway, he suddenly couldn't move anymore, and he froze in place.

"What did you do to my people?" The patriarch and Chi Fang looked shocked and furious.

"It's just a trick, as I said, I'm here just to find someone!"

The purple halo emitted by the metal object on the leader's head became more and more intense, and even his eyeballs turned white again. It was no small burden for him to control so many people at the same time.

After waving their hands behind them, several cavalrymen dismounted from their horses, walked to all the Zhihuo clansmen who were under control, took off the fire teeth and piled them aside, and put ropes on some clansmen.

……

On the mountain.

The two looked down, just in time to see everything in their eyes.

"Who is that person?"

"It's under Marquis Pingjiang's command. That man's name is Gu Shi. He has a record of serving in the army, and he specializes in doing dirty and tiring work for Marquis Ping Jiang." Lu Ming rubbed his brows, searching the memory in his mind, "Gu Shi is the most Good at using the art of mind, you can control any object in the air."

"Is there a solution?" Linglong asked.

"Yes!" Lu Ming said decisively, pointed to his forehead, and said to Linglong: "The weakness is that thing on his head, as long as you take that thing off, he will be useless."
