"It's on fire, put out the fire quickly!"

Since it was raining lightly at night, there were not many people on the Linhua County streets. Every household lit up their lamps and enjoyed the warmth of their families. At this time, in the streets and alleys, watchmen were beating gongs or clappers and shouting. People around them went out one after another, and they saw that the Hu house was on fire.

It is not a trivial matter for two connected mansions to catch fire. This kind of residence is connected to the street. Once the mansion catches fire, if you don't save it in time, your own home may be the next one to be burned.

After discovering that Hu Family started a fire without warning, the people around were going crazy and rushed to bring water to put out the fire.

What I can't understand is that this time Hu Family caught fire, which was different from what I imagined.

"This fire is so strange!"

"Look, they seem to be growing. They only burn Hu Mansion?"

At first, the fire could not be put out, and the surrounding neighbors were in despair. However, as the fire continued to remain intact, even if there was a strong wind, it did not spread to other houses. A group of officials escorted Hu Family people to the Yamen. The way these people looked at the fire, something was suddenly wrong.

"Is this...Heavenly Fire?"

Could it be that Hu Family did something so outrageous that God sent down Heavenly Fire?

If not, why is the fire so big and windy, but it doesn't spread to both sides? And it can't be extinguished by water?

As soon as such words spread, the firefighters disappeared, but there were many onlookers. They all stood in the distance and watched the fire dye the whole sky red, with mixed emotions.

"Open the city!" At the city gate, the city gate, which had been closed and would not reopen, opened. More than 20 horsemen gathered on their horses and rushed out of the city gate with a sudden sound of horse hooves.

"They can't escape."

"Even if we use the secret method to avoid Thunder Method, we still can't get better." Cao Yiyan stared at one place and felt the breath escaping quickly. Regardless of the rain getting heavier, he ordered to pursue him.

"Listen, Fiend is injured, and I'm locking him with Qi. Whoever can capture and kill him will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver, and will be promoted to the next level!" Cao Yiyan ordered sternly, and after saying that, his throat sweetened, and he knew he was coughing up blood, so he didn't dare to vomit, so he swallowed hard, but his heart sank.

The injury was more serious than I thought.

At almost the same time, three Foxs were galloping. These three Foxs all looked a little miserable, with their fur burned black and gray. However, this was a life-or-death situation, so they all tried to run away quickly.

"Run as far as you can while it's dark, don't stop, hurry!" Seeing a Little Fox collapsed on the ground from exhaustion, Big Fox immediately urged him urgently.

Seeing that she was really exhausted, she tried to get up but then collapsed, so she could only grit her teeth, hold it in her mouth, and run away into the distance again.

"Third Aunt, you can't escape far like this." A Fox spoke, and she looked back. Even though her face was Fox, her uneasiness and solemnity could still be seen.

"I can feel that the enemy is mainly targeting me." Having said this, Fox felt a little bitter. On the boat, he was accidentally hit by Mo Ming, and this time he was targeted again by Mo Ming.

This mark of Thunder Method mainly hit me. If it weren't for the protection of Rosewood Pendant, I would probably be wiped out on the spot. Even so, a hundred years of Daoism will be wiped out in one day, and I don't know when I will be able to recover.

Is this the fate that comes with receiving Rosewood Pendant?

Fox felt a sweet taste in his mouth, and knew that he was actually the most seriously injured, so he said, "If we run away separately, you and Xiaozhu will be fine."

"What about you?" Big Fox asked.

"I have Rosewood Pendant. I am the best at spiritual perception. I can react on a whim and everything will be fine." In fact, she already felt that her vitality was in Coiling Dragon Lake.

"Well, after we avoid this disaster, I need to ask for an explanation. Are we, Green Hill, weak persimmons?" Big Fox said through gritted teeth.

The three foxes split into two groups and jumped into the misty rain.

After a while, the sound of horse hooves came, and everyone on the cavalry was covered with mud. Cao Yiyan suddenly gave the order to stop, and the cavalry responded accordingly.

"Master Cao, what's wrong?" a general asked.

"Fiend is cunning, and the roads are divided again - you are chasing this road, and with this charm, you can keep an eye on it and follow it." Cao Yiyan At this time, his face was not livid or red, but pale. He glanced at it and said, "I'm going this way."

The general was not a subordinate of Cao Yiyan. Who would be willing to die on a rainy night if he accidentally fell down? So he didn't ask any questions and immediately agreed.

The troops were divided into two groups, and in the blink of an eye one group was gone. Cao Yiyan looked away, feeling dizzy.

It must be strange for Fox to be able to injure himself so seriously.

Now, what supports Cao Yiyan is no longer the teacher's fate, but this.

"Drive!" Then the horse ran towards another road.

Coiling Dragon Lake·Small boat

It rained continuously last night, and when the boat docked for a while, the sky was shrouded in a gloomy sky, and the originally clear lake water became a bit muddy and yellow.

A watermelon lantern was lit on the small boat, and the boatman was busy killing fish and cooking.

The sound of reading came from the cabin.

"The key to chess is to establish the root. The meaning of the root is to establish the root first..."

"Anyone who competes for land and school benefits and is ranked fourth every year should be compared to how much I get. If I have the right, I will take it even though it is small. If Peter is equal, even though it is big, I can leave it behind."

"... I would rather treat others less favorably than others treat me less favorably. This is what I call the first move."

After reading one chapter, Su Ziji looked extremely tired. Ye Buhui opened his eyes and quickly served him tea. "Drink tea, you drink tea."

"You girl, how much do you understand?" Su Ziji couldn't help laughing when he saw her being arrogant at first and respectful at the other.

"Listening to you reading aloud, I feel I understand a lot. However, I have already arrived in Fucheng. Is it a waste to rent this boat?" Ye Buhui said, his eyes swept over Su Ziji's face, and he was suspicious. Could it be that he had some other benefits in the Dragon Palace?

Why do I always have problems when I study by myself, but when I hear him read aloud, I suddenly get enlightened?

Even so, she still didn't forget to save a little money.

"Bear-picking!" Su Ziji secretly despised it and said in a bad voice, "It's good if you understand a lot. As for the rent, you don't have to worry. At this time, Prefectural Examination and eight counties Examination Student are gathered together. It may not be much cheaper to rent a hotel."

I thought to myself, it turns out that reading aloud to others can also force you to gain some experience. If this skill wasn't really scary, and I was afraid of being overheard and noticed by others in the hotel, how could I continue to rent a boat?

Thinking about it, Su Ziji lowered his eyes and saw this half Rosewood Pendant shadow: "Coiling Dragon Heart Method 1 level (999/1000)"

"Why, these days, I have been reading music scores hard. I can get a little experience from one chapter. Reading the whole book once can get more than ten points. But when it reaches 999, I am only 1 point unable to break through. No matter how much I read it, it is useless."

"Is it really necessary to collect demon nature and merge it into dragon nature?"

"But I'm a human, how can I collect this demonic nature?"

"Su Ziji, do you still remember what happened at the Water Palace Dragon Lord?" At this moment, Ye Buhui asked quietly when he saw that the others were not around.

When she woke up, she learned that the boat had been hit by fire and wind, and many people had died. She felt very uneasy, but now seeing Su Ziji holding a book and reading quietly, Ye Buhui couldn't help but suspect that she had just had a dream before.

She didn't want people to think she couldn't hold her breath, but after two days of staying up, she finally couldn't stand it any longer and needed to find out!
