Chapter Forty-Eight: Trickery

Murong Chuli didn't leave in a hurry, although she was angry, she was not brainless, the shopkeeper was too strange, there must be something extraordinary in this.

Seeing that Murong Chuli took the lead and left, Lu Cun and Chu Tianxuan did not fall behind, and helped Mrs. Li to enter the inn again.

When the three of them entered the door, the shopkeeper was still holding his chin with one hand, fiddling with the abacus with the other, and muttering to himself from time to time.

The three of them have good ears, and they can hear the shopkeeper whispering that they have lost a few pennies, and which guest looks like a wronged leader.

"Shopkeeper." Chu Tianxuan smiled. Reached out and knocked on the counter.

"Why are you again?" The shopkeeper was obviously not interested in them, but only glanced up, not afraid of the superior in the slightest.

They are monks, but when ordinary people see monks, they all have a little strange emotion, flattery, fear, stammering, respectful, whatever it is, it will not be like this.

The attitude of the shopkeeper made several people sure that there was something greasy in this.

"This Burning Sky City is not very peaceful." Chu Tianxuan seemed to say with some emotion. From time to time, his eyes swept over the shopkeeper's face, and there was something wrong with his expression.

"The location of Burning Sky City is important, and it is common for it to be not peaceful." The shopkeeper's abacus rattled. The expression on his face did not change, and he seemed to be surprised by this exclamation.

"The shopkeeper has a family?" Chu Tianxuan's body stood straight, and his tone was like small talk.

"Naturally, I got married." The shopkeeper glanced at Chu Tianxuan strangely, as if he was surprised at how he could talk so much.

"The shopkeeper's child shouldn't be too young, right?"

"The immortal chief is really like a mortal." The shopkeeper's complexion changed slightly, and his words were a little sharp. Then he lifted the curtain and went to the inner room.

I didn't want to talk to him.

Knowing that it would be fruitless to continue, the three of them had to leave the inn again.

After investigating for a day, except for finding that there was something strange in this Burning Sky City, there was no result, and the three of them couldn't help but feel a little discouraged.

When they returned to their residence, the first thing the three of them saw was Ye Tianquan sitting on the stone bench with no complaints, holding a book in his hand, and reading the story in a gentle voice.

Behind him was the setting sun, and his expression was quiet and peaceful, as if the world could not reach his eyes.

"You're back." He carefully collected the scroll before he got up and said.

"Well, Tianquan, why did you run out again, it's so windy outside! What should you do if you blow it? Lu Cun trotted over, and said something crackling in his mouth. Then he half-pushed and half-dragged Ye Tianquan into the house.

This is her, who is indifferent to outsiders, but passionate about people who care about herself.

Because she has seen those ugly faces and experienced the cold that can knock people down to the eighteenth layer of hell, she cherishes the warmth and brightness of these lives even more.

grinning without complaint, waving his fleshy arms to hug Lu Cun.

"Ah Heng still hasn't moved?" Chu Tianxuan asked.

"I don't know how long it will take to advance. Besides, Adou is guarding, and there is no hindrance. Ye Tianquan rubbed the ring on his hand, his face calm.

Lu Cun went to play in the back with no complaints, and Murong Chuli also went straight back to his residence, and there were only two people left at this time.

"Your fire poison, we will find a way as soon as possible."

"It's been more than ten years, and I've long been used to it, and building a foundation and practicing qi has long been no different for me." Ye Tianquan's slender fingers were placed on his legs, his voice was calm, and even his expression did not change much, as if it was really as he said, building a foundation and practicing qi, there was no difference for a long time.

Looking at Ye Tianquan's expression carefully, he was sure that what he said was true, Chu Tianxuan didn't know how to answer.

Perhaps, ten years apart, different environments, and different experiences really made them go to different paths and fly to different skies.

The night was late. The sky is full of stars twinkling, the moon is like a hook, and the clear sky makes this moonlit night show another kind of weirdness.

Fire.

The boundless fire seems to be able to start a prairie fire.

Everywhere she looked, there was a flame that could burn everything.

Even she herself struggled in the flames, unable to shake it off.

The blazing heat seemed to burn her to a pool of blood and then evaporate.

The moonlight like water sprinkled all over the ground, and the delicate girl's body curled up in a strange arc, with a layer of cold ice on her face, and her body seemed to be bubbling with cold.

Murong Chuli bit his lip tightly, his bloodless lips were bitten and oozing blood, and his cold face added a bit of bewitchment.

It seemed that Wunai was about to be burned by the fire, and the unspeakable pain made all her feelings extremely clear.

She is the Ice Spirit Root, and for her, the cruelest punishment in the world is fire.

She struggled to run the aura in her body, trying in vain to relieve the pain, but where the aura passed, the pain was even worse, and every inch of her skin seemed to burst open.

The sharp pain caused her body to roll up.

"A quarter of an hour to go." The girl held her head in one hand and fiddled with a strangely shaped object with the other. The girl smiled at the corner of her mouth, but that smile was so naughty.

Now, her sister, where is she bullied? Miss Murong, there are many gifts in the future~

Please endure it!

Lu Cun tilted her head, with a little smile on the corner of her mouth, she had a smile, and her smile was always warm and pure, no one would have thought that she was a person who would repay her.

During the day, she glued a gadget to Murong Chuli's body, which could create an illusion for two quarters of an hour at a specific moment, but this thing had to take advantage of the right time and place to take effect.

As for the right time, place, and people......

Ah, she deliberately calculated, but today she has all three!

Blame, I can only blame Murong Chuli for his bad luck!

And she, Shen Tianji, has never been a person who repays grievances with virtue, she is a ruthless little witch!

The moon is hidden in the clouds, and the starlight is hidden.

"Bump. It's blown up. Lu Cun licked his lips. Ahh

Two quarters of an hour, no more, no less, just right.

Murong Chuli only felt that the pain on his body had receded like a tide, but in the blink of an eye, everything returned to its original state, as if the bone-chilling pain was just an illusion.

Murong Chuli touched his arm.

Don't say it's burning, and there's not even sweat.

Is it a nightmare? Or, is there some unknown danger?

The icy aura roamed every inch of his body, trying in vain to find anything against him.

But there was nothing.

Murong Chuli checked again without believing in evil, and refused to let go of even the tiniest meridians, but he still found nothing, so he could only be vigilant secretly.
