Chapter 191

Lin Yu's face was not very good-looking.

Believe it or not, with this kind of ominous prophecy, I feel a little nervous.

Pu Jie suddenly showed a slightly mysterious smile, and changed the topic: "Fortunately, you drank sheep's blood and ate sheep's intestines, don't worry, you have obtained good luck, you can definitely resolve disasters and change your destiny."

It seems that Pu Jie's role as a prophet for so many years was not in vain. As soon as this set of words came out, she was already invincible.If Lin Yu is in a dangerous situation in the future, it means that her prediction is accurate. If not, it means that with the help of sheep blood and intestines, the danger has been saved, which is naturally also due to her.

No matter what the result is, she can justify herself as worthy of being the mother of the family. This ability to fool her has defeated at least 90.00% of her contemporaries.

Knowing that the other party was just talking nonsense, Lin Yu was still very depressed.

"Did I provoke her? Curse me to death for no reason..."

She muttered, originally wanted to go to the dance arena to show off her demeanor and amaze everyone with her skills, but now she is not in the mood.

"According to what she said, I neither drank sheep's blood nor ate sheep's intestines. Wouldn't I be dead?"

Zhang Tian said with a smile: "That thing, if you eat it, you will really die."

Lin Yu also laughed, deeply convinced.Speaking of this, she seemed to smell the smell of mutton mixed with salty smell again, probably this smell will be in her dreams tonight.

Zhang Tian comforted her and said: "I drank the sheep's blood for you, I ate the sheep intestines for you, your luck is all on me, don't panic, from now on, your brother Tian will protect you and protect your life. "

"Tch, it doesn't matter which of the two of us loves the other! I'm a descendant of Nuwa!"

Well, a few days ago, I was half-pushed and half-hearted, but now I don't even pretend to be, and I just call myself a descendant of Nuwa.

"I don't know if our Nuwa descendants have inherited some of the skills of their ancestors, are they sure to put out the forest fire?"

"This is..."

This is a very serious question, although Zhang Tian's wording and tone are not serious.

Lin Yu didn't just talk about it, she actually evaluated her ability based on the previous test, and said frankly: "I can't do it."

Zhang Tianwan didn't expect such an answer. He was planning to talk to Chi Yan about the "appearance fee", so he stopped immediately.

"You didn't say it earlier...then you still promised Chi Yan to go up the mountain tomorrow?"

"I can't do it, not because I can't extinguish the flame. No matter how strong the flame is, I can extinguish it. It only takes one thought. The consumption of extinguishing the flame is far lower than the consumption of changing the shape of the flame and intensifying the combustion."

Lin Yu made no secret of his confidence.

"Why then?"

"Because Chishi's range of action is limited, I can only control the flames within a radius of about 100 meters. Unless all the fire points are within 100 meters, otherwise the fire will spread by the time I arrive."

100 meters...

Under the suppression of the high priests of the mountain tribes, the volcano has long been full of fire. The scale of the eruption will certainly not be small, and the forest fires caused will definitely go far beyond this range.

Moreover, they lived in an era where there was no deforestation or over-exploitation. Thanks to the care of the high priest, there had been no fires in this area for hundreds of thousands of years. Looking around, the dense virgin forest was like a green curtain. Covering the stretching mountains tightly, it is impenetrable.

This is good fuel for a mountain!

Daxing'an Mountains is a ladder created by nature, connecting the two grasslands of the plain and the plateau.

Near the side of the plain, broad-leaved trees such as Mongolian oak, maple, linden, ash, birch, and spring elm can be seen everywhere. Going up the mountain, they gradually transition into tall coniferous forests. Korean pine is the main tree in this area. Tree species, mixed with a variety of fir trees including spruce, fir, and hemlock.

Long-term dry coniferous forests are extremely prone to crown fires.Compared with surface fires, crown fires spread faster, with a tailwind speed of up to 20 kilometers per hour!

No matter how powerful Nuwa's descendants are, there is no way they can't catch up with the spreading fire.

"At best, I can only extinguish the fire locally," Lin Yu said, "or prevent the fire from spreading to the grasslands, and ensure that people and animals are not threatened."

"That's enough. Let's go!"

"where to?"

"Go to Chi Yan and ask him to settle the appearance fee of Nuwa's descendants."

There is no free lunch in the world, and you have to contribute some incense to pray to gods and worship Buddha. What kind of celebrity is a descendant of Nuwa, and if she is invited to personally do it, it is justified not to contribute hundreds of beliefs?

Zhang Tian, ​​acting like a senior agent, brought the hottest star of this century to the area where people live on the mountain.

It was as empty as the rest of the camp.

Most of the people on the mountain also gathered in the central square. The arrival of the Sky Clan brought more colorful entertainment activities to the tribes below the mountain. In the square, everyone exchanged ideas with dancers. They learned how to make and play the flute, listened to the Bu and others tell the legendary stories of the ancestors...

However, the excitement is theirs, and Chi Yan has nothing.

He actually wanted to be a part of it too, but he didn't want to admit it.His status as a priest restrained him, making him disdain to do things that would be detrimental to his character.

So he could only go back to the residence alone, lit the flame, looked at the dancing fire light bitterly, and imagined that the fire spirit was by his side.

After calming down, he recalled the argument about "the flame of aggression and the sky of tolerance" brought back by Ah Meng.

The sky priest said that flames exist for destruction, and burn for devouring, and to borrow the power of flames, one must pay a corresponding price... This is simply blasphemy to the spirit of fire!

He shouldn't think about it anymore, but the more he feels that he can't think about it anymore, the more this set of arguments drills into his mind, and the more he thinks, the more scared he feels.

It wasn't that he was afraid because of blasphemy against the Fire Spirit. If it was just fallacies, he wouldn't take it to heart at all, at most he would just laugh it off.

Precisely because this set of arguments made sense, he couldn't think of anything to refute, so he felt scared.

Since he was a child, he learned from the previous priest how to serve the Fire Spirit and how to guide his people to respect and love the Fire Spirit. He thought he was devout enough and had never done anything disrespectful, and he was still doing his duty as a priest... But at this moment, His solid and devout heart, like the flame in front of him, began to shake slightly.

He was terrified of his wavering.

"Red Flame Priest."

A cry interrupted his thoughts.

What to be afraid of, what to come.

For some reason, when he saw the smile of the young sky priest, he felt as if he was facing a formidable enemy, and even had the urge to run away, as if if he did not run away, he would never be able to run away again.

Sheep eggs!I am the fire priest!What am I afraid of!
He forced himself to calm down and nodded slightly at the visitor.

"Master Wizard, what's the matter?"

He still deliberately avoided Zhang Tian and only asked Lin Yu.

Zhang Tian expected it, so he discussed it with Lin Yu on the way here. Anyway, the two sides did not understand the language, so no matter what they said, the final interpretation was in Zhang Tian's hands.

Lin Yu replied with a serious face: "Twinkle, twinkle, the sky is full of little stars."

Zhang Tian translated: "Master Wizard said that if the flames in the forest are too intense, she may not be able to completely calm them down. She can only ensure that the flames will not spread to the grassland and your people will not be threatened."

Chi Yan was a little surprised, this guy's translation was obviously much longer than the original words of Mr. Wizard.

Of course, it is also possible that the other party's language is more concise, and one syllable can express extremely complicated meanings.

He didn't think much, nodded and said, "That's enough."

After a pause, he still didn't give up, and said, "Actually, the best way is to appease Da Shan's anger directly. With the ability of Master Wizard, it can definitely be done."

"The wizard will never do such a thing. As for the reason, I believe Ah Meng has already told you."

Chi Yan was silent.

He couldn't accept the statement Ah Meng brought back. It was equivalent to denying the actions of the priests of the past. Not only did they not quell the anger of Dashan, they failed to protect their homeland, but fueled the fire, leading to the current situation.

The fire priests of the past dynasties are not guardians, but culprits!

What nonsense!He will never accept it!
However, he knew that he couldn't change the will of the wizard, let alone teach her to do things. He could only do his own thing well and fulfill his responsibilities.

"Under the bridge in front of the gate, a group of ducks swam, come and count, two, four, six, seven, eight..."

"Master Wizard said that she can do this for you, but it's not free. She has a request."

"Of course." Chi Yan has no objection, "In exchange, we can give you holy stones, animal skins, or anything you want."

"No, the wizard does not need these things. She only has one request. She hopes that you will no longer believe in flames. It is not a power that you can control. Once it gets out of control, it will swallow everything and destroy everything."

"This……"

Chi Yan fell silent again.

Zhang Tian didn't give him time to hesitate, and further said: "If you can't do it, then all the wizards have done is meaningless. Even if you help you get through this time, you will still make the same mistakes in the future, and At that time, no one will be able to help you, and sooner or later your homeland will be consumed by flames."

Chi Yan's expression became bitter, and he opened his mouth, but couldn't speak.

He didn't know how to answer.

If he agrees to the other party's request, it is equivalent to admitting the saying "flame is aggressive", but if he does not agree, he will be unable to deal with the impending disaster.

He was caught in a dilemma.

At this time, Zhang Tian took the opportunity to give another choice: "Master Wizard said, if you need strength, you can look up to the sky and pray to the sky. We were born on the earth, and we only have a short life, and we will eventually return to the sky. Eternity. Because we are all children of the sky, the sky will contain everything about us."

Chi Yan was stunned, and looked at Lin Yu with a little surprise: "Master Wizard...doesn't seem to have spoken?"

Lin Yu understood this sentence, and quickly said: "I am a painter, and I am very good at painting..."

Zhang Tian: "..."

Chi Yan: "..."

There is no tacit understanding!

"Cough! Master Wizard hopes that you will look up at the sky more and listen to the guidance of your ancestors." Zhang Tian reiterated his position without changing his expression.

Chi Yan suspects that this guy is carrying private goods, but he also knows that most of the wizards have the same position.

It seems that there is no way to avoid this topic.

"I heard what Ah Meng said about the difference between the sky and the flames in your opinion."

Chi Yan was not polite to him, and said directly: "I don't think what you said is right, or rather, not entirely right."

Zhang Tian put on a posture of listening attentively.

"I admit that flames do need to consume fuel to burn, but just because of this, I can't agree with the idea that flames exist for destruction. Although flames burn wood, they also bring us warmth and light. The advantages far outweigh the disadvantages!"

Chi Yan raised her voice and said it firmly, no matter whether it is true or not, at least it must have enough momentum.

What he doesn't know is that when he chooses to argue with the opponent, he has already lost.

How could he be able to speak of a modern person who has struggled in society for many years?

"You're right." Zhang Tian showed a gentle smile, "I never said that flames are useless. Flames have powerful power. If we use them properly, they will bring us many benefits. But the existence of flames is based on No matter how much good the flames do, on the basis of burning other things, it doesn't change at all, does it?"

Pointing to the fire in front of him, he continued: "Like this fire, if we don't stop it, the flame will keep burning until all the firewood is burned. So I said, the flame is for Is there anything wrong with destroying and existing?"

"Actually, you know that once the forest is on fire, the flames will destroy the forest. It has such a powerful and terrifying power, and it will never show mercy. That's why you ask for the help of the wizard, hoping that she can be like I put out this fire to stop this catastrophe."

As Zhang Tian said, he extinguished the fire.

The surroundings dimmed, and the lively voices of people in the distance came with the wind, Lin Yu yawned a little bored.

Chi Yan stared blankly at the embers of firewood emitting wisps of smoke, without saying a word.

"Can you see me?"

Chi Yan was stunned for a while, although he didn't understand why the other party asked this question suddenly, he nodded and said, "Of course."

"See, though the flames are extinguished, the light is not quite gone, even in the dark."

Chi Yan was stunned for a moment.

Zhang Tian smiled and said: "You are so obsessed with the flame that you have forgotten that the real warmth and light are never on the earth, let alone in the flame. The sun in the sky is the source of all warmth and light, and the sun never Did not destroy our homeland."

"We only have this life time to look up at the sky. The night sky is the most beautiful and gentle scenery in the world. You have wasted many nights, don't miss the next beautiful thing."

The young man raised his head, his eyes shining brightly.

Seeing this scene, Chi Yan couldn't help raising his head, and looked up at the night sky that he had never stopped to look up at. In an instant, the stars and moons all over the sky bloomed in his eyes.
