Chapter 32: The beginning of chaos

The rain stopped at the beginning of autumn all night.
In the early morning, Jie Hai was awakened by a low knock on the door in his sleep. He barely opened his eyelids, still feeling extremely sleepy, and didn't want to leave the bed at all. He sat up with his arms supported hard, thinking about the dream just now, he had almost forgotten what he saw in the dream, vaguely remembered that it was related to A Shun...
The knocking outside the door became more and more rapid, and there was a slightly shrill voice from the housekeeper Ye Granny: "Jiehai, get up!"
What is so urgent? Strange things have happened frequently these days, and Jiehai's nerves have been tight. I heard Granny Ye's constant urging outside the door, he quickly responded and got up to open the door. The lights in the corridor were bright, and Grandma Ye was wrapped in a big cotton coat and carrying the stove, her face was dignified, and her mouth was panting with white mist.
"Hurry up and change clothes and gather downstairs." The mother-in-law waved to him, and quickly walked to other rooms to send a message.
What's wrong...Jie kelp went to the door, frowned and glanced at the bell. It was still just after 7 o'clock, and the clouds seemed to have not cleared outside the window, with only a tiny bit of white light. He finished washing in a hurry, put on his uniform, and ran downstairs.
There were not many students in the dormitory, and they were all woken up this morning, yawning one by one, and rubbing downstairs with sleepy eyes. Seeing a few people who were fairly familiar, Jiehai stepped forward to say hello, and followed them down the stairs.
Reluctantly, this group of teenagers stood one by one on the open space in front of the dormitory. The cold wind roared outside, and there were still water marks in the cracks between the bricks and stones. Two middle-aged men wearing black ecclesiastical robes stood motionless outside the door, one with a gentle smile and one with closed eyes blankly.
The kind monk watched them line up in front of the door awkwardly, and when everyone stood up, a white light flashed out with a wave of hands, illuminating the large area in front of the door. He patted the shoulder of his partner next to him, and the monk spread an invisible wave across the building, waited for a while and then slowly shook his head.
When the students saw this posture, they were a little nervous, and the people standing in the outer circle leaned into the crowd and huddled together. Monk Light was still smiling. If there was a real look, he glanced over every classmate to find out if there was something unusual. After a while, he coughed and said, "Don’t be nervous, it’s just a routine check... No one feels sick? Besides..." He paused, staring at the expressions of the teenagers and asked, "Last night... Did you encounter anything unusual?"
unusual? Jie Hai was taken aback for a moment. He slept very deep last night, completely unaware of anything unusual around him. The classmates looked at each other, and an older boy couldn't help but asked: "This adult, what happened? I stayed up all night last night and didn't see anything unusual..."
"Nothing is fine..." Monk Guang smiled and nodded. He wanted to continue to ask, and suddenly came a thin middle-aged lady wrapped in fleece from a distance.
The lady bent over and shrank and ran out of breath. She stopped at Monk Guang's side, shook out a cotton pad and wiped her sweat, and said in a soft, flattering voice: "Two adults, the principal has arranged it over there. , Just waiting for you two to pass."
"Thanks..." Brother Guang smiled and thanked her, then patted her companion on the shoulder. The two left the dormitory area together, leaving behind the puzzled group of students.
"Okay, let's go back to the room, I can tell you, today I will be careful not to cause trouble." The lady waved at the group of teenagers and yelled, turning around to leave.
"Director...what happened?" a chubby boy yawned and asked.
"Don't ask more... the school is closed today, and there will be some Santa adults coming later. Don't run around if you have nothing to do. Did you hear that?" The female director turned her head to make her face straight and put on a pose The majestic tone warned the teenagers, bending over and ran away again as they came.
Class off? The group of students downstairs cheered as soon as they heard the news, and threw the unhappiness of being woken up early in the morning. Everyone laughed lively, then walked back to the dormitory together.
Jie Hai followed back to the room, fell on the bed, and sighed lazily with his eyes closed. Even the school was closed. It was so serious, I hope it wouldn’t be a major event... It’s still so early, what should I do... He thought about it and turned his head inadvertently and saw the pillow next to him. Suddenly there was a large patch of gold on his old book, and he couldn't help but suddenly reached out and took it over.
How has this book changed so much... Jie Hai looked at it over and over in surprise. The empty hourglass on the cover of the book has been filled with most of the golden sand, and the surrounding textures are also shiny, as if it had been replaced overnight. Book cover. He opened the book again and looked at it, but the yellowed pages were still blank, just like the original.
What's going on... He stared at the golden hourglass in a daze. This... is not an unusual thing. Thinking of the words of the black robe monk just now, he felt a drum in his heart. What to do, do you want to tell the monk... It's just that, this is not my own book after all, it's not too late to ask the store manager if there is a problem.
He sighed secretly and stuffed the book into his backpack, planning to try his luck in the bookstore first. He ate something hastily in the cafeteria downstairs, and ran all the way out of the campus under the cold wind. He met the old doorman who had helped him at the door and hurried forward to thank him again.
The old man dangled his pipe and waved his hand, and reminded in a low voice: "There was a big deal today, don't come back too late at night, I'm afraid you will close the school..." He seemed a little anxious, took a few puffs of cigarettes, and exhaled a long string White line.
"Close the school!?" Jie Hai was taken aback, how serious he was? He was stunned and asked the old man: "Grandpa Lin, what happened?"
The old guard sighed and pointed to the north with his pipe: "I heard that there is something wrong with the phantom flower garden behind, and the neighborhood has been sealed off. I'm afraid the college will have to stop for a few days... Well, these days are true. It’s not peaceful."
Phantom Flower Garden... Jie Hai naturally knows the heavily guarded greenhouse group to the north of the college. Since the matter involves Phantom Flower, it is probably not something he can guess. He walked outside the door and took a look at both sides. The corner of the avenue to the west was already crowded with people who wanted to watch the excitement. The white-robed monks stood at the intersection and summoned the light wall to block the crowd, but there were still more gatherings around there. the trend of.
"You don't want to mix up." The old man's hoarse warning sound came from behind.
"Hey!" Jie Hai replied simply, and he was not interested in watching the excitement either. He had just waved goodbye to the old man. Suddenly, a band of green light flashed across the sky in the distance, and Jiehai looked intently, and saw that it was a thick vine entwined with fluorescent light, which was rapidly extending straight to the rear of the college. Immediately, a figure slid down Nagata like a meteor and disappeared from his vision in the blink of an eye.
It's amazing... I don't know which adult used it. Jie Hai looked at the mysterious long vine in the sky and exclaimed in secret. He stopped watching, turned his head and ran up the iron bridge, and drove straight to the east of the city in the railcar.
The study room is still very quiet, the bright sunshine that stays the same throughout the year, and the gentle temperature that stays the same throughout the year, it seems that it will never be affected by the outside world. Jie Hai changed his clothes, did his daily tidying up, and welcomed a few guests away. He finally got down and leaned on the bar to be lazy.
With so many things happening recently, his mind was actually in a mess. The golden sun was shining from the window. He watched as his eyelids became heavier, and he simply lay on the table with his arms behind him, when he was drowsy. Began to think again and again. He thought of the unforgettable concert, the ensuing assassination storm, the friends whose news suddenly disappeared, the strange book, and the unexpected incident in the morning. Countless thoughts are entangled and mixed, making him subconsciously frown in the confusion, hard to let go.
Half-dreaming and half-waking, there was a pleasant wind bell. Jie Haiqiang stayed sleepy and turned his head to look forward. In the sun, the handsome boy wore a classic shirt and trousers embroidered with silver patterns, and a gray-blue jacket, with a smile at the corner of his mouth, and his short golden hair floated brightly. Glorious.
The manager? Jie Hai rubbed his eyes, as if he couldn't believe it, he was still thinking about when he could see him.
"What's the matter, Xiaocai fan, you won't know me if you haven't seen me in a few weeks?" The little shopkeeper joked playfully, and went to the bar and hung his coat in the closet.
"It's really you, the manager!" Jie Hai quickly stood up, scratching his head with a smirk, "I thought I was dreaming."
"Do you miss me so much? Can you still dream of dreaming?" Yuno smiled happily with the corners of his mouth turned. He turned around and noticed the unbearable tired face on Jiehai's face, staring at his red eyes and asked suspiciously , "What's wrong, the spirit is so bad?"
"Oh, I have been dreaming at night and I don't sleep well..." Jie Hai said and yawned involuntarily.
"Come here, I'll help you see..." The little shopkeeper took his arm, held his face and examined it carefully, then stretched out his hand to cover his eyes. A warm white light swaying like a stream of water flashed from his hand, and Jie Hai only felt his eye sockets hot, his thick fatigue disappeared in an instant, and the whole person was excited.
After the treatment, Yuno quickly withdrew his hand. Jiehai thanked him with embarrassment, and remembering the reason for coming here early, he quickly turned over the strange book and handed it over: "Manager, look at this book..."
Yuno took a look at the book before and after taking the book, and thought: It's pretty good-looking, this little money fan looks pretty good.... He secretly praised, holding the book with a bit of joy and asked: "Give it to me?" This strange book has changed a lot now, and the glittering gold pattern on the cover looks quite luxurious.
"Uh..." Jie Hai was stunned and replied awkwardly, "This book was found on the second floor...that, it suddenly appeared from inside the crystal wall... the manager, I didn't enter it on purpose. The situation at the time was actually...it was actually a bit inexplicable, and I don't know why..." He babbled and explained for a long time, for fear that it would make the store manager angry, and blame him for not listening to the warning and rushing around.
Come out of the crystal wall? Yuno opened his mouth slightly in surprise, could it be related to her? He thought about it in silence, and felt that the mystery in it could not be told to him, so he waved his hand indifferently: "That's it...I know it, don’t blame you, I will put this book back. ."
"Hey!" Jie Hai felt that a stone fell to the ground in his heart. He thought of the weirdness of this book, and then reminded him, "Manager, this book..."
"I know it all, don't worry." Yuno interrupted him with a smile and waved his hand. It's not the time to find out the place, so you have to ask the person first.
Jie Hai had to shut his mouth. He watched the little shopkeeper hum a soft tune and walked to the second floor with a book, and he secretly let out a long sigh of relief. It can be regarded as handing back this weird thing... the return of the store manager made him feel as if he had taken a reassurance, and instantly gained confidence. There was another door bell at the door, and Jie Hai greeted him with a smile, and continued his reception work.
The words are divided into two parts. Friends in the bookstore here have a good time meeting, but in the farm in the northwest corner of the capital, there is a catastrophe that will shock the whole country.
At noon, from the rain-soaked rice field, a faint blue flame appeared without warning. The flames rose even more when the wind hit, and the water entered more intensely. In the blink of an eye, the fields covered the mountains and swallowed everything visible.
The earth also slowly vibrated and cracked, and swamp-like black oily silt continued to gush from the cracks, and when it encountered the flame, it instantly burned and exploded, and the raging blue flames rose to the sky, like a of different colors.
"It's on fire! The blue fire!" The villagers in the farm were so scared by this weird and very disaster that they shouted and ran to the compound of Lu Ang's house, the owner of the innermost farm.
"Don't panic everyone! Hide in the cellar first!" Lu Ang guarded the gate and directed the villagers to the underground storage cellar of his house. He looked at the rushing blue fire around him, only feeling cold and numb in his hands and feet. He had only heard of this terrible magic flame, and had never seen it with his own eyes. Now he was completely at a loss as he looked at the flame that seemed to swallow up all the burning rocks.
How to do? Both my father and mother went to the city to discuss business, and they stayed at home because the school was closed. Who knew this would happen? Sweat ran down on his face. He was not sure whether the cellar could block this magic flame, but at the moment, the surrounding village was flooded with endless flames, and there was no way out!
The blue sea of ​​fire rushed along with the wind, and the wooden courtyard wall was swallowed by flames without holding it for a second. Lu Ang had already retreated to the entrance of the cellar, shaking his hands ready to hide in the refuge at any time. The blazing temperature rolled in, and only the faint blue on the scorched earth remained in his eyes, like a silent of death, approaching him step by step.
At this moment of life and death, an extremely bright white halo suddenly appeared above his head, the halo shivered, and in the blink of an eye it turned into a light shield covering the small building. Lu Ang opened his mouth wide in astonishment and looked up. A purple figure appeared on the top of the mask. He floated in the air like a phantom, and countless dazzling white lights continuously emitted from him, quickly condensing into a huge ball of light.
The purple-robed man opened his hands and gently pressed it, the ball of light instantly expanded and spread, and a majestic beam of light appeared between the sky and the earth, and the boundless magic power poured down, smashing the crazy burning magic flame into invisible fine debris. The white beam of light disappeared in an instant, the land after the catastrophe was full of scorch marks, light smoke was filled, and the rice fields were filled with ravines without bottoming out.
The purple-robed man floated motionless in the air, and the violent gale curled up the long purple hair and drifted across his cheek. He stood silently with no expression on his face, his eyes were full of clear and pure white divine light.
