Bad feng shui in the entertainment industry

The sound of the lighter igniting was not loud, and there was an extremely pleasant sound of metal bumping. It should not have attracted attention in the noisy crowd, but Tang Chen heard it very clearly. It seemed that at that moment, the whole world was so quiet that only this person was left. sound.He followed the sound and looked back, and saw at a glance the man holding the lighter. His facial features were ordinary and featureless, but the flickering flame made his face look strange.

At the same time, there seemed to be other eyes on the man in the unlit alley, but the man just looked up at the sky and stopped.The flow of people was congested because of his stagnation.However, before the complaints could be heard, all the light-emitting devices in the hands of the tourists were extinguished. Following the exclamation, the Alley without Lights was completely plunged into darkness, only a bean of flame in the man's hand was still jumping.

"Bastard, it's a fire starter!! He's using a fire starter to fill the sky with fire!!" Someone suddenly yelled, and it was the familiar one of the two people Tang Chen had heard earlier.

And with this sound, the heat wave engulfed the crowd suddenly, and the sky above Wudeng Lane suddenly lit up, revealing a tumbling sea of ​​flames hanging upside down in mid-air!

People screamed and pushed each other, trying to escape from the narrow alley that had become an oven, but it was so easy. In the panic, everyone couldn't tell the direction, someone fell to the ground, and was quickly trampled by the people behind , someone was directly set on fire by the sparks falling from the sky, and instantly turned into a burning man.But in the ancient alley that was only a hundred meters long, these people were trapped here like sacrifices.

At this time, five or six people have already sprung out from the crowd, and quickly formed seals in their hands.They rushed towards the man with the lighter, and a few others were using array techniques to extinguish the fire, trying to disperse the crowd.

A girl next to Tomson ran over crying, the schoolbag was on fire, and the fire spread so fast that it scorched her dress in the blink of an eye.Tang Chen recognized her as the curly-haired girl in the noodle shop, knowing that she would soon be burnt to death if she just ran forward like this, so he chased after her, trying to recall the formation textbooks that Sect Master Mochizuki had found for him , cast a water attribute basic formation.

Instantly, a stream of water condensed out of the air and flew towards the girl, extinguishing the fire on her body.

"Are you okay?" Tomson ran over to help the frightened girl up.

The curly-haired girl was so frightened that she was crying. She stared blankly at Tomson amidst the flames, and she was dumbfounded.

Is she dead, and she actually saw her idol at this time.

"Let's go!" Tomson pulled up the dazed girl and escorted her out of No Light Alley.

At this time, the man with the lighter had already been besieged by more than a dozen people, and he couldn't care less about hiding the existence of the formation mage from ordinary people at this time, and all kinds of dazzling formation light patterns collided in the air.Tomson finally saw one of the men besieging the man. He had seen him in Lawyer Fang's law firm. It was the young man who talked a lot in the elevator.

That man obviously had a very deep knowledge of formation techniques, and even with one against ten, he didn't fall behind.However, he obviously didn't intend to continue entanglement with these people, and suddenly hit a formation that looked like a wind attribute at the sea of ​​fire above Wudeng Lane. spilled.

At this time, not only was there a fire in Wudeng Lane, sparks fell like rain, and the ancient houses stained with wooden structures immediately burned. It didn't take long for the ancient city near Wudeng Lane to be engulfed in flames.Screams and cries were heard one after another, and some people were injured and others died.

Those formation masters who wanted to round up the man had no choice but to disperse to control the fire and rescue the wounded. The man took the opportunity to break through the encirclement and disappeared in a flash.

"Tang Chen! Are you okay!" Qin Nan and Tang Chen were scattered, and finally found him, only to find that he was using a meager water-attribute basic array to put out the fire. Compared with the raging fire, the dot he summoned Water flow is tantamount to a drop in the bucket.

When Tang Chen saw Qin Nan, instead of showing joy, he grabbed him by the collar and asked, "What the hell are you doing! There are so many people here, knowing that something will happen here, but you just sit back and do nothing, hurting everyone." So many ordinary people died!"

This is the first time Qin Nan has seen Tang Chen get angry since he met Tang Chen. The fire is reflected in his usually docile eyes. I couldn't help but wince.

"We didn't expect someone to use a fire starter to draw out the sky-replenishing fire!" Qin Nan was also very wronged. He was just an intern. He originally thought that the mission would finally be over tonight. When the dust settled, no one expected that someone would use an ignition device to forcibly undo the seal of the Sky Mending Fire, causing such a big accident.

"Since you didn't know that such a thing would happen, what is the purpose of your deployment of so many people?" Tang Chen ignored Qin Nan's excuses and sharply pointed out doubts.

Qin Nan stopped talking.

Why did their special investigation department dispatch so many people tonight?

Of course it was for that ancient god.

In fact, as a strange beast, his feelings for this man are very complicated. All of them should be grateful to this man, and even stand behind him unconditionally, obeying his orders.But who knows that it is already a peaceful age now, this ancient god is an unstable factor, his existence is the bug of the entire world of formation masters, he can only be destroyed, and it is completely destroyed.

"Is that the fire of the five elements?" Qin Nan was stunned for a while, and then Tang Chen asked.He raised his head and saw that Tomson was staring at the sea of ​​flames above the Lane without lights. He didn't know what he was thinking, and he seemed to have put the previous question behind him.

"That's right, that's the sky-repairing fire. You should have heard the story of Nuwa mending the sky, right? There are many legends about Nuwa refining stones to mend the sky, but they never mentioned the method of refining stones. The sky-repairing fire is fire." The source, starting with a bean of fire, attracts all fires in the world, and smelts stones to mend the sky. It was only later that the sky was repaired, but the sky-replenishing fire burned for thousands of years and refused to be extinguished, killing hundreds of millions of living beings. But then one day The sky-replenishing fire suddenly disappeared, and it is said that it was taken back by Sect Master Mochizuki. As for who the sky-replenishing fire fell into after the death of Sect Master Wangyue, and why it was sealed in the sky above Wudeng Lane, there is no further research."

"Damn! Come quickly! The fire here can't stand it anymore!" A cry for help came from not far away, and Qin Nan obviously recognized that the voice belonged to his companion, and his complexion changed immediately.

"Tom Chen, find a safe place to hide first, I'll go and have a look." Qin Nan said as he took off his coat and unbuttoned his shirt collar and cuff buttons, and ran towards the voice.

Tang Chen stood where he was, looking at the sky-replenishing fire that could almost illuminate half of the sky as bright as day, and felt that this scene was extremely familiar, as if he had seen this legendary sky-replenishing fire a long time ago.

There was another inexplicable pain in his head, and various blurred and chaotic pictures flashed in his mind. He even saw himself standing on a piece of barren and cracked land, the sky was on fire. In the light of the array technique, he put the sea of ​​flames in his sleeves.

"No, this can't control the fire at all. Someone needs to seal the sky-replenishing fire again. What about the little actor? Didn't the little actor say that the little actor can recover the sky-replenishing fire?"

"It wasn't him who recovered, it was Sect Master Mochizuki, but Sect Master Mochizuki seems to be unconscious..."

"This is troublesome..."

Intermittent words came from not far away, Tang Chen shook his head, waved away the illusion in front of him, and forcibly pulled himself together.He looked at the Butianhuo again, took a deep breath, and seemed to make up his mind, and put a protective formation on himself, and then ran towards the unlit alley that had been engulfed by the fire.

The closer he got to the Lane without Lights, the hotter the surrounding air became. If Tomson was still a mortal body of an ordinary person, he would either be smoked to death or burned to death at this moment, but he doesn't know where he got so much courage from. , actually rushed directly into the flames.

However, there was already a person standing in Wudeng Alley, it was the man who broke the seal of the Sky-Mending Fire with a lighter.

The man didn't see Tang Chen's embarrassment as he ran all the way into the sea of ​​flames, and he looked quite calm with the protective formation under his feet.He seems to be constantly trying to recover the Butianhuo, but he has not found the right way.

Hearing footsteps at this time, he turned his head warily, saw that it was Tang Chen, his whole body was only covered by the most superficial layer of low-level formations, he couldn't help but relax, and even grinned, revealing a contemptuous smile.

"It seems that there are so many people who want this bounty. Even a brat who hasn't graduated yet wants to try his hand?"

Tang Chen couldn't understand the man's words, so he didn't answer. He just stood a few dozen steps away from the man and looked at him without saying a word.

"Master is in a bad mood today, get out of here before you lose your temper!" After saying this, the man ignored Tang Chen and continued to study how to regain Bu Tianhuo, obviously ignoring him at all.

But Tang Chen closed his eyes at this moment, concentrating on recalling the method of Sect Master Mochizuki to recover several other five-element artifacts, raised his right hand, put his fingers together on his forehead, held his right arm with his left hand, and tried to say the formula: "Bingyin Dingmaolu The middle fire, the fire at the top of Jiaxu and Yihai Mountains, the thunderbolt fire of Wuzi Jichou, the fire at Bingshen Dingyou Mountain, the fire at the lamp head of Jiachen and Yisi, the fire at the end of Wuwu, the fire in the sky, all the fires in the world, all belong to me, start!"

For a moment, Tang Chen even felt that his imitation behavior was ridiculous. How could he hope that he would recover the five-element artifact just like Sect Master Mochizuki, just by pretending to read a formula?In the end, it's just painting a tiger instead of an anti-dog.

But what he didn't expect was that just after he finished reciting this formula, the Butianhuo above the Wudeng Lane seemed to suddenly sense it. The fires that were raging all over the ancient town seemed to be summoned, and they rose from the ground one after another, heading towards Butianhuo. The sky fire gathers.

The scene of the gathering of thousands of fires was incomparably spectacular, a group of fireballs flew towards the sky above the Lane without lights, like a reverse slow motion of a disaster movie.For a moment, everyone in the ancient town was stunned. The formation master, who hadn't taken Tang Chen seriously before, saw Tang Chen's actions clearly, and his expression was astonished.

Until all the flames were re-integrated into the Butian Huo, the Sea of ​​​​Bending Fire began to shrink rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally turned into a bean-sized kindling, which slowly fell and disappeared into the palm of Tomson's outstretched hand.

"You are the little actor in the world of ordinary people!" Seeing that Butianhuo was taken back by Tang Chen, the magician suddenly came back to his senses, but showed ecstasy, "Haha, I am really going to get rich today!"

I thought I could get the Sky-Bending Fire to claim the bounty today, but whoever thought it would be lucky, actually met the person who owns four five-element artifacts. This time, all five things are gathered together, so it's not about getting rich!

The formation mage didn't talk nonsense, threw out a formation technique, and saw translucent red light walls rising from the exits at both ends of Wudeng Lane and the sky, which completely closed Wudeng Lane!

The formation master walked towards Tang Chen with a smirk on his face, "Boy, hand over the Five Elements Artifact, and I can spare your life."

Tang Chen also didn't expect at all that he actually succeeded in regaining the Sky-Bending Fire, especially when the fire disappeared silently into his palm, it was even more unbelievable.However, facing this malicious formation master at this time, he also realized that he was in danger, and retreated step by step on guard.

The formation mage didn't have much patience, and directly formed a formation technique to hit Tang Chen, knocking him flying.

Tang Chen lay heavily on the ground, his chest was in severe pain, coughing and trying to get up, but was hit by the opponent's formation again, and flew far away, hitting the enchanted light wall at the end of Wudeng Lane, There is no ability to resist.

"What's the matter, still trying to be brave? I advise you to be sensible and don't be beaten to death by me." The formation master approached Tang Chen. Whenever Tang Chen wanted to get up from the ground, he would fly out with a formation technique and beat him. Falling to the ground again, in front of this group of mages, Tang Chen is like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, he can be played and ravaged at will.

Qin Nan and the others also rushed here at this time, but they were blocked by the formation barrier of the formation mage, and it was useless to try their best to break through the barrier. They could only watch Tang Chen vomit blood from the beating.

With the smell of blood in his mouth, Tang Chen tried his best to form an array to fight back, but his simple basic array was like a child's play in the eyes of the mages, and it was not enough.

"Can you hand it over? Huh?" The formation master lost all patience, walked in front of Tang Chen, grabbed his hair, and lifted him up.

Tang Chen endured the severe pain and tried to stand up straight, "So you forcibly unblocked the Butianhuo and burned so many innocent people to death, just to get the bounty?"

"Otherwise?" the array mage asked back as a matter of course, as if those human lives were not as good as ants in his opinion.

Tang Chen silently lowered his eyes, unconsciously clenched his powerless hands hanging on both sides of his body.So just to get the baby, you can do everything you can, you can wantonly destroy the things that others care about the most, and obliterate the life that has no resistance.

Those who are weak deserve to be bullied, and those who have good things deserve to be missed. This is probably the logic of the strong.

The formation barrier set up by the mage is being destroyed, and the people from the special investigation office outside will rush in at any time. Seeing that Tang Chen is silent, he becomes more and more annoyed. He grabs Tang Chen by the neck and pushes him against the wall, urging: : "Where is the Five Elements Artifact, hand it over!"

What Tang Chen gave him this time was actually a sneer.

"If you don't give me some flair, you don't know what's good or bad at all!" Stimulated by Tang Chen's mocking smile, the formation master flipped his palm, and used the formation technique to form a sharp blade, and stabbed it into Tang Chen's palm. "Where is the Five Elements Artifact!"

Tomson almost convulsed in pain, but he gritted his teeth and didn't make a sound.

"Hand over the Five Elements artifact!"

Another stab, this time in the lower abdomen.

"Say it or not? Huh?"

One knife after another, merciless, tricky and ruthless.

Tang Chen was so painful that his whole body was drenched in cold sweat. The formation master let go of his hand, and he collapsed on the ground weakly.

"What can I do if you are so stubborn?" The formation master seemed helpless, and rubbed his chin to come up with a brilliant idea, "Otherwise, I will ask you once, and if you don't answer, I will pull out one of your nails, all the nails. After stripping them all, I will start cutting your flesh, let’s see how long you can hold on..."

At this moment, the faces of the mages seemed to be blurred in front of him, and it turned into a lot of strange faces. They cut his flesh, picked his tendons and bones, cut open his stomach, and dug out the bloody internal organs Organs, thrown on the ground like rubbish, just to drive another person crazy and make him hand over a mountain of treasures, all his life's effort.

Seeing that Tang Chen was still unmoved by the formation master, but the sound of breaking the barrier outside became more and more intense. Angrily, he pulled one of Tang Chen's hands, dragged him on the ground, and then called out the formation technique with the other hand, When he wanted to cut off his fingers, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his lower abdomen, and his body froze.Reluctantly, he lowered his head and saw the hand patting him lightly.

This hand looks so harmless, slender and gentle, it seems that it is only suitable for cooking soft desserts.

However, when the hand was slowly moved away, the formation mage saw the imprint of the formation technique on himself, and his pupils shrank suddenly.

Isn't this... a forbidden technique?

The formation master stared at Tang Chen, the young man who seemed vulnerable to a single blow, looked at him so coldly that one could shudder.His clothes have long been torn and tattered. At this time, his white collarbone is exposed from the open collar, and a bright pentagonal mark on it emits a dazzling light.

Every formation mage has the five-element imprint, and from the five-element imprint can be seen the level of a formation mage's ability to control the five elements.

At this time, the five-element imprint on Tomson's body, reflected in the eyes of the mages, undoubtedly represented the most powerful five-element talent, which he had never seen in his life.

"You, who are you?" the array mage said in horror. The place on his lower abdomen where the array was branded began to corrode and fester rapidly. The severe pain made his voice almost out of tune. It was useless, and finally fell powerlessly to the ground, wriggling and desperately backing away.

Tang Chen slowly stood up from the ground, and the punctured wounds on his palms and body healed quickly, becoming as clean as ever, leaving only scarlet blood stains all over his body.He approached the formation mage step by step, just like the formation mage did to him before, a sharp blade formed in the palm of his hand, pierced the formation mage's palm with one knife, and nailed it directly to the ground.

The array mage howled.

Tang Chen remained unmoved, and pulled out his sharp blade expressionlessly, stabbing the formation mage again.

The array mage howled so loudly.

But Tang Chen raised the corners of his lips, leaned close to his ear and asked softly, "Does it hurt?"
