Tang Xiaobai made an appointment with Fengji, and the six of them met at the junction of Yingzhou and Juguzhou, a place called Akashi City.

Calculating the distance, Kyoto City to Akashi Castle is closer to Akashi Castle than Penglai, so Tang Xiaobai and the three of them are not in a hurry, they go all the way to see the flowers and flowers, and play while walking.

The spring in the north has always been much later in the south, and the road is half a month, although it is the season of early April, the snow is still on the roadside, the spring is cold, the earth is still vast, and the grass has not grown.

Although the temperature is getting warmer day by day, after all, all the way to the north, the three of them did not notice too much change in the climate, and they still wore winter clothes.

It wasn't until we got to a close distance from Akashi Castle that I noticed something strange – the temperature seemed to be climbing upwards and was getting hotter and hotter.

On the streets, we began to see people in ragged clothes like beggars pushing carts and moving houses, adults with vicissitudes of life, children with dull expressions, and no smiles. It seems that there has been some calamity before.

So taking advantage of the time to rest in the post teahouse, Futian couldn't help but ask the shopkeeper why there were so many people on the street and why the temperature changed so drastically.

The shopkeeper sighed, approached the three of them and lowered his voice, "Didn't you hear about the guest officer all the way here?" ”

He was half emotional and half regretful, "What a city, half a month ago, there was a sudden fire, burning to this day, the people in the city are dead and fleeing, it is really pitiful......"

Fukuda asked, "What is the cause of the fire?"

The little two gods looked around mysteriously, and whispered, "It's said that there are monsters in Akashi City......

He lamented, "Now that the government is investigating tightly, and don't let the people openly speak ill of the demon clan, let's just talk about it in private... The guest officer should not make a noise. ”

As he was talking, he saw a fat man in an official robe and official boots walking into the store with a few guards. ”

The official waved his hand impatiently, took out a scroll of portraits in his hand and looked around, his eyes lit up when he turned to Tang Xiaobai, and he hurriedly brought people over to kneel on the ground and worship, "Minister, see the great immortal." ”

Big... Immortal?

The shopkeeper was stunned, and when he reacted, his face turned pale, and he trembled and knelt down and didn't dare to say more, for fear that this true god would kill himself as an example because of Shicai's words.

He's so bad... It's not good to say anything bad about the demon clan, or in front of this person who is rumored to be the new emperor's backer.

Seeing the expression on the face of the shopkeeper change from shock to regret to overwhelmed and trembling, the three of them had some mixed feelings in their hearts.

Overkill is counterproductive.

Tang Xiaobai crossed the county order, walked straight over to help the shopkeeper up, and patted him on the shoulder, "Don't worry." ”

After all, with so many people present, she could only speak as soon as she wanted.

The shopkeeper understood, and nodded gratefully, but he didn't dare to look her eyes directly.

The voice of the county order soon sounded again, and it became more and more flattering, "How can the gods live in such a humble place when they come to this county?" The villain has already arranged a mansion for all of you, not far from here, do you want to ...... it?"

"No need. Tang Xiaobai's tone was light.

Wang Yu's eyes turned, and he continued to laugh, "The villain dares to ask, are you going to Akashi City on this trip?"

"Yes. Tang Xiaobai nodded, "Akashi City fire, since you are the county commander, why don't you act?"

Wang Wei smiled a little embarrassed, "It's not that the villain doesn't want to, but the fire can't be extinguished." ”

He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. In fact, there is still a sentence that is not said, in Akashi Castle, there are youkai who can only spit fire......

Wang Wei held the portrait in his hand, nervous and scared, and after a while, he knelt on the ground again, "Please save the people and help the villain extinguish the fire!"

Akashi Castle is far away from Kyoto, and he wrote half a month ago, and he quickly got a reply that he had only recently received, saying that the god who had saved the entire Kyoto Castle was coming, and asked him to guard at various post stations, and when the people arrived, he directly explained the reason.

Tang Xiaobai looked at his expression, probably guessed seven or eight points, asked a few more words, quickly sent the county order, and sat back to have tea with Xuangui Futian and discuss countermeasures.

"I'll leave a message for the wind season in a moment, and we'll rush over and take a look. ”

It is estimated that they came over in the wind season for these two days, so there was no need to worry, but now that Akashi Castle suddenly caught fire, the situation in the city is unknown, and they arrived a day earlier to extinguish the fire, and the people here can also feel at ease earlier.

......

......

The further forward you go, the more you can feel the scorching heat of the air.

There are weeds on the side of the road that don't know the season, and they even mistakenly think that spring is coming, and they can't help but pop up to take a look.

The three of them walked quickly, and they could already see the smoke rising in front of them, and the walls of Akashi Castle were very high, but even so, they could still vaguely see the flames flying in it.

It's samadhi.

Fukuda shook his head and stopped. His cultivation is too low, wouldn't it be a death if such a big fire enters. It's better to turn around and go back now, eat and drink, and wait for them in the wind season by the way.

Tang Xiaobai frowned, this level of fire, not to mention Futian, even with her and Xuangui's cultivation, it was a little difficult to enter the city under such a big fire.

So she sent Fukuda back first, and she and Hyun Gyu planned to take advantage of the reckless enchantment to explore first.

The gates were wide open, and the ground was littered with traces left by the panicked flight of the people, as well as countless charred animal carcasses.

Recklessness can stop the fire, but it can't stop the heat wave that is blowing in the face. After walking inside, the clothes on the two of them were soaked with sweat.

Continuing towards the center of the city, there were no longer only animal carcasses, but also people who had not escaped, all charred and blackened, but not a single person alive.

After all, it is a samadhi fire, and even if it is not burned, this monstrous heat wave alone is enough to kill ordinary people. The two looked at the corpses all over the ground, and their hearts were heavy.

Suddenly, a neighing sound of a horse sounded, and when I looked up, I saw a snow-white horse with two wings behind it circling in the air, circle after circle, neighing from time to time.

"It's Yoshimitsu. Tang Xiaobai's eyes sank.

Yoshimitsu is docile, extremely timid, and lives in a simple place, but he doesn't know why he is here.

Jiguang, who was hovering in the sky, soon spotted the two of them, and with a long roar, he leaned down and rushed towards the two.

Its eyes glowed with a faint red glow, a clear sign of enchantment.

Hyun Gyu said, "Look at its head!"

Dozens of black soul suppression beads were densely inserted on the top of Ji Guang's head, extending all the way to his back.

After a while, Ji Guang was already close to the eyes of the two of them, and he crashed into the reckless enchantment without hesitation-

With a "bang", the reckless enchantment shook, and then all this power was dissolved.

Yoshiguang then returned from several more impacts to no avail, and it raised its horse's hooves and kept exhaling heavy air in its nostrils, looking a little agitated.

It circled around the two of them, and suddenly spat fire from its mouth, and surrounded the entire perimeter of the barrier with flames, so that the two could not move their positions.

Tang Xiaobai stood in place, her wrist flew over, and she quickly pinched it into a trick, only to see the silver thread gradually spreading along her slender wrist, "Call!"

The sky was instantly covered with dark clouds, lightning swirled and split the thick clouds, and there was a rumbling sound, and after a while, raindrops the size of beans fell, and the fire was really small.

It's just that the true fire of samadhi can be extinguished by ordinary rain, but this rain completely annoys Yoshiko, its eyes become more and more scarlet, and the horse's hooves kick and stomp on the ground, and soon leap up and rush back to the sky.
