Chapter 1221 The Buried Station?
"What are these things for, can't they fly up and die?" Zhang Xiaohou said with a puzzled face.
"This seems to be one of their rituals, those dust storm demon grasshoppers are always called here for some reason, to perform a fire rebirth ceremony." Lin Feili said.
"What the hell kind of ritual is this?"
When everyone was talking, they saw that the dust storm demon grasshoppers all flew into the flame mountain range, and it didn't take long for some dust storm Momeng's body and wings that could not stand the test of flames to burn.
As they went deeper, more dust storm demon grasshoppers were swallowed up by the flames, and they burned into a piece in mid-air.
The flames continued to spread among the dust storm demon grasshoppers that were flying closely together, and the demon grasshoppers whose wings were burned directly turned into droplets of flame feathers and fell into the mountain.
It didn't take long for the entire Flaming Mountain to fall like a rain of fireworks, lighting up the entire desert night sky, as bright as a dreamy night.
It's just that this kind of embellished fireworks are all smeared by the lives of the newly born devil grasshoppers, and they are piled up by hundreds of deaths, which looks extraordinarily strange.
"Is this their ritual, jumping into the fire pit one by one?" Jiang Shaoxu said.
The incredible behavior lasted for about an hour, and I had to admire the number of dust storm demon grasshoppers. Such a huge flame mountain continued to burn, and it took such a long time to burn completely.
The ashes were floating in the sky, and before you knew it, the night was getting deeper, and the magic fire in the entire mountain of flames began to go out.
Without the flames, everyone dared to approach this mountain range. Lin Feili walked in front and led everyone along a curved mountain road towards the top of the mountain.
"I don't know when it started, these grasshoppers commit suicide collectively here every midnight. They have no turning back, no fear, and rushing into the flames is a kind of enjoyment. I haven't seen any grasshoppers so far. I was afraid and ran away." Lin Feili said.
"You mean, they commit suicide here every night, and burn so many demon grasshoppers every day, shouldn't the dust storm demon grasshoppers die early?" Jiang Shaoxu said.
"The Flame Mountain doesn't burn all the time, and I don't know what law it is based on, but as long as it burns, the Dust Storm Demon Grasshopper will definitely come." Lin Feili said.
"How strange!"
"Humph,
It's a little strange. These dust storm demon grasshoppers are the biggest disaster for the west. The areas they affect are barren, and it's not because of the excessive number of them. Isn't it a good thing for them to commit suicide here? "Zheng Tong said.
"That's right, the more you burn, the less disaster!"
"I'm afraid it's not that simple."
Stepping into the mountain, the residual temperature of the flame is still there, and the scalding heat under your feet makes everyone feel like walking on a hot pot.
The further up the mountain, the higher the temperature of the mountain, and gradually only those who practice the fire element can continue to move forward.
"Brother Fan, we may not be able to walk up, the temperature is too high." Zhang Xiaohou said sweating like rain.
Mu Nujiao, Jiang Shaoxu, and Lingling are all, some of them can't bear this temperature, and if they climb up, sooner or later, they will faint from dehydration.
"Then you should go back to the station to rest, I will go up by myself." Mo Fan did not force it.
Lin Feili practiced the fire element. He told Mo Fan that if he kept walking along this mountain path, he should be able to reach the top of the entire Flame Demon Mountain, where he might see the Holy Land of Fire that made the entire mountain range burn. .
...
Mo Fan left the team, and the others had no choice but to return.
Tong Li seemed to still be concerned about her sister's affairs, and still couldn't help asking: "Feili, my sister said in the last letter to me that she and her patrol team found a mineral vein, and she will always be stationed there. , do you know that mine, I want to go there and have a look, maybe I will find some footprints about her."
Lin Feili seemed a little hesitant, as if he didn't want to mention the word mineral vein, and there was a bit of vigilance and hostility on his face.
"I haven't been at ease all these years. I just want to ask for a result, Feili, if you know my sister's whereabouts, let me know. Even if it's just a pile of bones, I want to take her back to our hometown." Tong Li said.
"Lin Feili, do you really not remember his sister?" Jiang Shaoxu asked softly.
Lin Feili was silent for a long time, and finally said: "I will take you there, but only take you alone."
"Okay, okay, thank you, thank you, I found my little sister's skeleton, I can also explain to my parents!" Tong Li said excitedly.
"You...you, come with me." Lin Feili suddenly pointed at Zhang Xiaohou and said.
"Me? You look for the bones, what do you do with me..." Zhang Xiaohou was puzzled.
"I only trust you." Lin Feili said.
"...Tongli won't hurt you." Zhang Xiaohou said helplessly.
"Zhang Xiaohou, just go with them. Lin Feili has lived here alone with demons for too long. He is very sensitive to everything and will be full of hostility." Jiang Shaoxu said.
"All right."
...
The others had already returned to the inn, ready to plan the next route. Zhang Xiaohou, Lin Feili, and Tong Li walked towards the black sandstone mountain, where Zhang Xiaohou found Lin Feili.
The three walked quickly and arrived at the cave where Lin Feili lived.
"Why are we here?" Zhang Xiaohou was puzzled.
At this moment, Lin Feili walked to the end of the hole and shoved away the big rock that was blocking it.
With a push of the rock, Zhang Xiaohou realized that there was a cave inside, so deep that he didn't know where to go.
The three entered the pitch-black cave. Lin Feili was very familiar with it. It was pitch-dark, and his eyes glowed with light.
After walking for more than half an hour, the road began to go up. The three of them left the cave, but arrived in a valley surrounded by black rocks on all sides.
The black rocks are surrounded by ruggedness, and few sands can be blown into it, so this black rock basin seems to be a hidden place isolated from the desert.
"She's buried here..." Lin Feili pointed to some piles of rubble raised next to him and said.
Tong Li was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes turned red for a while. After so many years, although he was sad, he was completely relieved at this moment.
"Can I take her away?" Tong Li asked.
"Can."
Tong Li tore the stone apart, and when he went to look for it, there were indeed only a bunch of petite bones left. He carefully collected every small fragment and wrapped it in a cloth bag, which seemed to cherish it very much. .
"Tong Li, where is your hometown, there is a custom that must be attributed to the dust of your hometown. Because of this custom, you went to such a dangerous place with us, and you are considered a person who values love and righteousness." Zhang Xiaohou asked.
"Hey, the old family believed this, and felt that it was hard to rest their souls if they died outside. Zhang Juntong, we have been worshipping our ancestors for a few days. This time, I actually hope to find the little sister before the ancestor worship, so that she will not become an ancestor. Lonely ghost, I may not be able to accompany you to continue here." Tong Li said.
"So anxious??" Zhang Xiaohou was stunned.
"Yeah, we worship our ancestors once every four years. Those who have left in a foreign country must return that day, otherwise they will have to wait another four years. I don't know if I can rush back, but I can't leave my sister's bones in such a place. "Tong Li said.
"But everyone hasn't planned to return."
"Everyone has already marked the way back. I'll just go back along the way. The Shaqu River is a little more troublesome, but fortunately, my second repair is the wind system. If I'm careful not to get stuck, I should be able to return safely. I didn't have any hope of coming with you this time, I didn't expect to meet Lin Feili, Brother Lin Feili, thank you so much!" Tong Li said.
"I've been talking to her all these years. You can take her away. I think she actually wants to go back." Lin Feili said.
Zhang Xiaohou was stunned for a while, and then he understood.
Lin Feili should always be talking to himself to this tomb by himself, but Zhang Xiaohou doesn't quite understand why Lin Feili didn't return to the city and wants to live here alone, because of what he can't let go of here. ?
...
Tong Li left alone, Zhang Xiaohou looked at his back, and his heart was filled with emotion. It was really commendable to take such a risk to come to this desert just so that his deceased sister could return to the dust of her hometown.
"Where is Zhang Juntong from?" Lin Feili's language was very fluent, and he asked.
"People from Bocheng in the south." Zhang Xiaohou said.
"Why did you come to this west?" Lin Feili asked.
"Come for a long experience, but it's you, why have you been staying here?" Zhang Xiaohou asked.
"Someone asked me to stay here." Lin Feili said.
"Is it a military order?" Zhang Xiaohou was stunned.
Lin Feili nodded.
"You almost forgot who you are, and you are still in a hurry to do what this military order does. The person who gave you the order may not be alive now." Zhang Xiaohou said.
"He is indeed dead. I should also die here, but..." Lin Feili stopped abruptly here, and glanced at this extremely empty rock basin.
"Is there anything hidden here? I think you seem to care a lot." Zhang Xiaohou asked casually.
"Well, I'm still alive, precisely because I don't want something to be completely covered up..."
"Cover?" Zhang Xiaohou asked in confusion.
"Do you really think this oasis station was engulfed by sand and dust?" Lin Feili said.
"Isn't it?"
Lin Feili smiled, his face full of bitterness, but for some reason, those eyes were gradually filled with hatred.
"What happened here?" Zhang Xiaohou felt something and asked seriously.
Lin Feili shook his head, but did not answer. (To be continued.):
