Chapter 1154 Embers Burn the Heart, Ten Thousand Years Later, Hometown Accent Remains Unchanged, Bla
What does it matter whether unimportant people are alive or not?
Therefore, regardless of the state of the three people in the "Fire and Ash Wood" illusion, "Jin" seemed not to hear it.
His gaze, like a bolt of lightning, pierced through the crowd and precisely locked onto Su Xiaoya. The corners of his mouth turned up slightly, forming a cold and sharp arc: "Little girl, you've been looking for so long, what have you figured out?"
Su Xiaoya's heart felt like it was about to jump out of her throat at that moment—had she guessed right?
However, let's wait and see!
Su Xiaoya suppressed her thoughts and tried to answer in a businesslike manner: "I think you're not testing them at all, you're just... venting your anger."
"Venting anger?"
The word "venting anger" seemed to have triggered some incredible switch, and everyone saw "Jin" suddenly throw his head back and burst into laughter, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world.
That laughter, like the hooting of an owl, carried ten thousand years of repression, ten thousand years of pain, ten thousand years of... despair.
"Well said! Absolutely right!"
"Jin's" laughter abruptly stopped, and the fire in his eyes erupted like a volcanic eruption. "I was just venting my anger!"
"Jin's" voice was filled with indescribable grief and indignation: "One hundred thousand years! A full one hundred thousand years! I was nailed to this volcano and scorched by the subterranean fire for one hundred thousand years!"
Uh!
One hundred thousand years!
Another hundred thousand years!
Su Xiaoya felt a little unbearable to look at—besides her, how come every fellow villager who transmigrated was in such a miserable state!
"Jin" is still protesting: "I'm clearly just an agricultural college student! I'm clearly trying to become someone like Grandpa Yuan Longping! But I ended up becoming some kind of 'Fire Ember Wood' wood spirit!"
"I am terrified of fire to the extreme, yet I am forced to live with raging flames every day! I have to watch helplessly as my true form is constantly scorched by the fire!"
"This damn contract, this damn legacy, I've had enough!"
His voice grew louder and more impassioned, and the fire element around him surged like a raging sea. The magma of the Crimson Flame Volcano was also ignited, bubbling and gurgling as if cheering on his anger.
Su Xiaoya and Yu Shuheng exchanged a glance, both seeing deep shock in each other's eyes—if this were them, they would have gone crazy!
Grandpa Yuan Longping!
Was he an old man who benefited every Chinese person on Earth?
And the Wood Spirit of Fire Ashwood?
And—afraid of fire?
These pieces of information, pieced together like jigsaw puzzle pieces, pointed to an answer they found hard to believe, and now they both felt like crying.
Yu Shuheng took a deep breath, suppressing the bitterness in his heart, and stepped forward, staring intently at "Jin": "You... are from Blue Star?"
Upon hearing this, the entire room fell silent, as if time itself had frozen.
The people of the Three Realms were all bewildered. What was Blue Star? Was it some legendary hidden sect?
Xuanluo's three heads all widened their eyes, clearly having never heard of this name before.
Only Jin, upon hearing the words "Blue Star," was struck dumb, his entire body stiffening abruptly.
Those eyes, burning with fierce light, suddenly shrank to the size of pinpoints.
He stared intently at Yu Shuheng, his lips moving as if he were using all his strength to squeeze out a few words through clenched teeth: "How...how did you know?"
His voice trembled slightly, like a candle flickering in the wind, as if it might be extinguished at any moment.
One hundred thousand years!
A full 100,000 years!
He thought that the name had long since vanished without a trace, like a shooting star streaking across the river of time.
Yu Shuheng did not answer, but turned to look at Su Xiaoya.
Su Xiaoya understood immediately, stepped forward, and took out a treasure from her bosom—a piece of bright, lustrous satin embroidered with five glittering golden stars, one large and four small, just like the dazzling stars in the night sky!
"Jin's" eyes suddenly narrowed. This was—the Red Flag!
Of course, this red flag is not the same as the red flag in the story, but a piece of red brocade embroidered with five-pointed stars—woven from pure white silkworm silk.
As for how to dye this pure white silkworm silk into a bright red, that took a lot of effort, as difficult as climbing a steep mountain.
As for the origin of this brocade, it was naturally meticulously crafted by Lao Bai and Jinlong, two bored guys.
To be precise, it was Jinlong who dragged along the leisurely and idle Lao Bai, and it took them a very long time to get it done.
One hundred thousand years!
But memories etched into your very bones can't be forgotten!
"Do you recognize this?" Su Xiaoya held up the red silk flag, which was about the size of an ordinary embroidered handkerchief, and asked solemnly, her expression as serious as if she were facing an important exam.
"Jin's" gaze fell on the silken robe as if drawn by a magnet, and his eyes were already glistening with tears.
His breathing suddenly became rapid, like a swarm of bees startled, and his vision blurred for a moment.
That's not some ancient relic, nor some rare treasure; it's—the red flag of Blue Star.
Born in the new China, raised under the red flag.
He even set his sights on studying agriculture to serve the country and to emulate his idol, Grandpa Yuan Longping, who is known as the "Father of Hybrid Rice".
In fact, back in the agricultural university laboratory, he actually cultivated a new variety by hand, which, like a shining star, was about to shine brightly in the sky of agriculture...
Who knew, he inexplicably ended up in ancient times.
The key issue isn't even people!
One hundred thousand years!
A full hundred thousand years!
How could he not recognize him?
That was his hometown.
It was also his belief!
"You... you..."
"Jin's" voice was already choked with sobs, "You too..."
"Fellow villager." Su Xiaoya smiled slightly, her eyes filled with deep heartache and—a hint of wariness. "But have you ever heard the saying, 'Fellow villagers meeting each other, one stabs the other'?"
It wasn't that Su Xiaoya was looking for trouble, it's just that this 'Fire Ember Wood' spirit—"Ember"—looked exactly like a villain!
One hundred thousand years!
A full 100,000 years!
Enduring the scorching flames...
Anyone would go crazy!
Before Su Xiaoya could finish speaking, a sudden change occurred!
"Jin's" face instantly twisted into a ferocious expression, and his originally excited eyes were instantly engulfed by endless malevolence.
He suddenly raised his hand, and a fire whip a hundred times more ferocious than before, like a fire dragon emerging from the abyss, carrying a deep hatred of ten thousand years, lashed fiercely at Su Xiaoya and Yu Shuheng!
Wherever the fire whip passed, the air seemed to ignite, emitting a crackling sound, and even the space itself seemed to show faint cracks.
"Just as I expected!" Su Xiaoya was prepared. She dodged to the side like a ghost. "I knew it—either perish in silence or erupt in silence!"
Yu Shuheng also moved swiftly, standing like a mountain in front of Su Xiaoya. He made a hand seal with his fingertips, and the spiritual energy of the green wood surged out like a surging tide, condensing into a huge wooden shield.
boom!
The fire whip lashed fiercely against the wooden shield, producing a deafening roar.
The wooden shield instantly turned charred black and cracked inch by inch like porcelain. Yu Shuheng groaned, a trickle of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, but he still stood firmly in front of Su Xiaoya.
"Why?" Yu Shuheng looked up, staring at "Jin," his voice filled with confusion. "We are all Earthlings, why..."
"why?"
"Jin" looked at Yu Shuheng as if he were an idiot, but when he saw the genuine confusion in Yu Shuheng's eyes, he couldn't help but burst into another fit of wild laughter.
Laughter was mixed with blood and tears.
Immediately, "Jin" sighed three times in a voice that sounded almost desperate!
"Because ten thousand years of suffering and torment have long since shattered my heart!"
"Because this damned contract has already turned me into a monster!"
"Because...only by killing you can I—gain my freedom!"
He suddenly raised his hand, pointing it at Su Xiaoya and Yu Shuheng as if they were his mortal enemies, his voice as shrill as the wailing of a demon:
"It's clearly written in the ancient contract! As long as I sacrifice two Blue Star bloodlines, I can break free from the shackles of this 'Eternal Wood' and re-enter the cycle of reincarnation!"
At this point, "Jin" stared at Yu Shuheng with his bloodshot eyes—Su Xiaoya, his fellow villager, was a girl, and he, a true man, would not fight with a woman and would never bully a girl—this was a belief ingrained in his bones—only applied to people from Earth!
Of course, you can just say "ga".
However, you cannot torture them.
So let Yu Shuheng, this man, bear the torment with his eyes and the crushing with his mental strength!
After all, they are all ancient monsters who are hundreds of thousands of years old!
"Ten thousand years! I've been waiting for this day for a full ten thousand years!"
Therefore, "Jin" looked at Yu Shuheng, waiting for his approval!
call!
Su Xiaoya let out a breath, but her heart still felt heavy!
If, if she herself experienced 100,000 years of "Jin", what would she do?
She'll go crazy too!
Perhaps, it will get even crazier!
Perhaps, they might even want to destroy the world!
