114 [Fox Shadow](1/2)
When the boat arrived at the ferry on the shore, when the crowd stepped onto the streets of Songjiang Mansion, they felt a hustle and bustle that was not very consistent with the tranquility of the night.
After turning a few more turns to the main road, I saw that the fire was already rising in front of me. The yamen runners in Songjiang Mansion and many roads helped to put out the fire. The neighbors on both sides woke up and ran out to see the situation. They were panicked. They saw that a large inn in front of me had water. They were burning thoroughly, and only the shell was shaking and standing there.
The yamen runners were both fussed and furious, and they would not be able to be destroyed in a short while.
The neighbors were talking about it, thinking that it was for setting fire, and there was tinder oil! It was not dry this day, so why did it suddenly start to burn!
When Huofeng Hall arrived one early, Su Qing was standing next to the inn where the fire was on fire and talking to someone.
Zhan Zhao knew that he was the head of Huo and he was chasing Gongsun this morning.
Lin Yehuo Station is facing the roof of a small building facing the fire building, and is looking at the fire.
Luo Zimu nodded slightly when he saw Zhan Zhao waiting.
"What happened?" Zhan Zhao walked over and asked Luo Zimu. Bai Yutang asked a servant who came out of nowhere and arranged for Songjiang Prefecture to be a servant who had been there.
After all, Songjiang Mansion on Xiankong Island is a local snake. Without the need for servants, many neighbors also came over to tell Bai Yutang what they saw.
Luo Zimu shook his head and said to Zhan Zhao, "That contact signal is from Huofeng Hall usually only works when something big happens. The people living in this building are all from Huo Sect, and only one escaped. The others should have been burned to death in the building."
"What?" Zhan Zhao was surprised.
"Only the Fire Master did not come out."
At this time, Bai Yutang also came over. The news he had already heard from the servants was obviously more than Luo Zimu. "It is said that the fire was raised from the guest room on the west side of the second floor where the Fire Master was locked, and then burned out. At first, the fire was not too big, and the inn guests and the servants in the inn ran out, but the Fire Master did not come out... and finally he stumbled and ran out."
"Fifth Master Zhan Dabai, the firefighters were on fire at that time. We really don't know that the Fire Master's Sect didn't come out!" The inn shopkeeper and a soldier who was in charge of extinguishing the fire came over and explained to Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, "We thought that the Fire Master's Sect master's skills should be able to run out as soon as possible. But unexpectedly, everyone came out. When the fire was put out, the little brother stumbled out, saying that there were fellow disciples of the Fire Master's Sect inside. But at that time the entire building was burning and could not enter."
Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao both nodded, and they also felt strange. Can a fire trap so many masters of the Fire Master?
Luo Zimu looked at the disciple of the Fire Master who covered half of his face and was still smoking in his head. His eyes were dull at this moment, as if he was quite frightened.
"What happened?" Zhan Zhao asked the young disciple of the sect.
"Fox Demon...the fox Demon sets fire!" The disciple of the Fire Master suddenly became excited, and his emotions began to lose control, shouting, "It's the fox Demon! The fox Demon said he wanted to burn the people to death..."
Zhan Zhao frowned slightly and looked at Bai Yutang beside him.
Bai Yutang nodded slightly. Master Huo is a master at least, why is he so scared?
Luo Zimu had no choice but to comfort him and calm him down before talking.
And at this moment...
"It's going to burn to another house!"
"Hurry up and put out the fire!"
Just as there was a riot in the group that put out the fire, the whole group of onlookers became nervous.
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked back and saw that the flames were getting higher and higher at this time, but a gust of night wind blew from the west to the east - to the east of the inn was a long house, one by one, not to mention it was very dangerous. Once the fire was blown by the wind... it was likely to burn all the houses or even the entire street, which would be bad.
Zhan Zhao felt that the situation was dangerous and wanted to run over to put out the fire. Luo Zimu waved his hands to him and Bai Yutang, indicating that Huofengtang could solve this problem.
At this time, Sang Ben yelled, "Everyone can dodge!"
Some of them held buckets, while others held sandbags and mop, and they stopped and looked left and right.
Zhan Zhao waved his hands to the yamen runners... The yamen runners quickly dodged.
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were both curious about how the strongman Sang Ben would put out the fire. After seeing him pushing the crowd away, the cat raised his waist and yelled with two punches... The crowd heard the "crack" sound, and the whole ground swayed. The inn in front of him seemed to be loosened, shaking.
Su Qing walked to one side, raised his hand and flew out... The shield broke a load-bearing beam and pillar of the inn in a strange arc, and flew directly into the fire.
I heard a "buzzing" sound. The shield passed through the fire and broke several beams and pillars. After flying around in the inn, I flew back.
Su Qing raised his hand and took it...
Zhan Zhao subconsciously glanced at the shield, and there was no trace of burning, and he couldn't even feel that it was hot. Zhan Zhao couldn't help but reach out and touched it, and it turned out--cold!
Zhan Zhao praised him, he is worthy of being a Ming Shield! A good thing!
Sang Ben stomped his feet at the ground again, and a loud "boom" sounded...
Looking at the inn again, it collapsed loosely.
Sang Ben carried two large bags of sand on the ground and jumped into the air, reached the opposite roof, and poured it onto the fire.
Su Qing helped him throw the sandbag.
Sang Ben is worthy of being a strong man. He is carrying a bag of sand and a bag of cotton, and extinguishing the fire is clean and neat.
In a blink of an eye, the fire was extinguished.
The people of Songjiang Prefecture naturally cheered and sighed. Zhan Zhao looked at Bai Yutang - his hands and feet were quite fast.
Bai Yutang also nodded and expressed his approval.
Because the fire was extinguished in time, and Su Qing broke the bottom of the beams and pillars, the entire building did not collapse into piles of wood, which was much complete than the tree house in Baiyutang.
When the fire was extinguished, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang entered the second floor room with smoke... and saw that the bodies of the head of the fire were lying on the bed intact.
"It's strange." Zhan Zhao frowned.
Bai Yutang also found it incredible... The Fire Master knew martial arts, but there was no reason that they could escape, but they couldn't escape! Besides, they all lay on the bed as if they were asleep and never got up. Is this called sweating pill or something?
Bai Yutang checked and found that the roof and cabinet on this floor were almost burned to charcoal, but the table in the room was fine and it was burned black outside.
"I poured tincture oil on the wall and then ignited it." Zhan Zhao touched the burnt wood that was still burning on the edge of the window. "Depending on this situation, these disciples of the Fire Master had died or were unconscious before they became angry?"
"The building is to burn it to destroy the corpses. Why don't you just throw tincture oil on the corpse, but on the wall?" Bai Yutang was puzzled.
"Maybe it's to keep these things."
At this time, Lin Yehuo, who walked in with a look of disgust, pointed at the hand of the corpse.
Zhan Zhao leaned over and looked at it, and saw a corpse with a tuft of white hair on his hand...
"They are from Huofengtang at least, so they are not sad at all?" Bai Yutang suddenly asked Lin Yehuo.
Lin Yehuo laughed dryly, "I don't know you, so I can't pretend to be sad. If you die in vain, then avenge them. If you have the utmost death, then you don't have to be sad." After that, he turned around and ran out.
Zhan Zhao sighed, "How did this personality look like this?"
"Cat."
Bai Yutang squatted by the cabinet by the window and called Zhan Zhao.
Zhan Zhao walked over.
Bai Yutang took out something from the gap behind the cabinet.
"What is this?" Zhan Zhao took it in his hand and looked at it. He saw a token made of red copper. The token was very small and exquisitely made. There were two blooming camellias in the middle, and on the back was a nine-tailed fox.
"I have never seen such a token." Bai Yutang said.
"This fox..." Zhan Zhao couldn't help frowning, "It doesn't look as cute as those white foxes, this one looks so weird!"
Bai Yutang nodded, "It seems that it is not something from Huofengtang or the head of Huo Sect, but it may have been accidentally left behind by other guests before."
"But this token is very craftsmanship, and it looks like something from a large sect, and it is a bit simple." Zhan Zhao looked at the token carefully again, wrapped it in a piece of cloth, and was about to go back and ask if Yin Hou and Tianzun had seen it.
At this time, Gongsun arrived outside with a small medicine box. As soon as he came in, he dusted the white sleeves, "Why did so many die?"
"They are all disciples of the Fire Master who attacked in the morning." Zhan Zhao said.
"Have you just two escaped?" Gongsun glanced at him and asked.
"Just ran out." Zhan Zhao was a little puzzled.
"No, right..." Gongsun was a little puzzled and counted, "The attack on Xiao Sizi this morning was two more than this time!"
"Confirm?" Zhao Pu asked.
"Suspected to have no memory?!" Gongsun narrowed his eyes.
Zhao Pu hurriedly shook his head, "No... It's just strange that you can remember this..."
"Want to say you're revenge?" Gongsun narrowed a little more, his phoenix eyes narrowed into a line. Zhao Pu consciously shut up and stopped talking. The nerd couldn't afford to offend him.
Zhan Zhao went out and asked the only disciple of Fire Master who escaped, "How many are you in total?"
Then I thought about it, "Twelve."
Zhan Zhao frowned - No! Ten lies were lying inside, in other words, one lost? Was that one run away or was it him who set fire?
"I just said it was the fox demon killing. What's the specific situation?" Seeing that the disciple of the Fire disciple was a little calmer, Zhan Zhao asked him.
"I don't know, because they were in a bad mood, they all drank some wine, and then fell asleep in a daze. They felt that they were sleeping very heavily, but at the same time they felt very tired, and their whole body was very hot and hot, so they couldn't breathe. When they opened their eyes, they saw that the room was full of fire... One stood by the window! It was a white dress, with a white fox tail shaking behind them." The disciple of the Fire Sect recalled what happened before, "Then suddenly turned around and looked at it, my god, a fox face. Then he turned over the window and went out, and was so scared that he woke up a little. Seeing that there were fire everywhere, he quickly climbed out and ran downstairs..."
After hearing this, Zhan Zhao looked at Bai Yutang and showed a hint of doubt - does this statement sound familiar?
Bai Yutang nodded—the situation was similar to the fox demon that killed his friend when Master Pang was young, and it also had a fox-tailed fox-faced face.
"Go and recognize the body and see what that is missing."
At this time, Lin Yehuo stood behind the disciple.
The disciple of the Fire Sect knelt down and begged for mercy, "The master of the hall is useless. I didn't even think about going to save my brothers at that time. When I remembered, I had already..."
Lin Yehuo's mouth twitched, "What's the pretentious thing? It's enough to save yourself, so you have to save it. Don't be saved. Otherwise, you deserve to live for a long time if you have the ability, or you'll do it badly. This case will be related to it sooner or later."
The disciple opened his mouth wide and kept shaking his head.
To be continued...
