Chapter 5 Overnight stay in Huizhou is full of fire
In Huizhou City, the lights of thousands of homes are extinguished. In the dark night, a few dark shadows swept through the vast sky, and disappeared again in the blink of an eye. Ah San rubbed his eyes and looked in the southwest direction again. Didn't you see it wrong, but you obviously saw a figure?
Shaking his head, he had no choice but to continue to play. "It's dry, watch out for the candles." The voice was very long, and the bangzi knocked on it. "Tenkan ......"
Suddenly, he heard the sound of tiles on the roof of the house beside him. The voice was very clear, and it suddenly sounded in this silent night, which made people break out in a cold sweat. "Who...... Who's ...... On top? Ah San was so frightened that he couldn't speak clearly.
Recently, the story of the Taoling ghost is very popular in Huizhou City. Not long ago, Xia Tao'er, the daughter of the lord of Huizhou City, died mysteriously, and her body was buried in the root of the largest peach blossom tree in the city, and by the time she found it, it was already rotten. It is said that Xia Tao'er died unjustly, and her ghost wandered around Huizhou City all night when she had nowhere to live. So these days, once it gets night, the streets are basically empty.
Several of the husbands who used to work in shifts also left, and only he stayed because of the high monthly money. always thought that he and the young lady of the Xia family had no grievances, even if they couldn't find him for revenge, so they had the courage to go to the street.
The cold wind blew in gusts, and he wiped the large drops of sweat from his forehead, and slowly leaned towards the next room, his heart pounding violently from his chest. One-step, two-step, three-step...... The closer you get, the closer. Suddenly, a pale woman's face with bulging and bursting eyes, a bloody mouth, and a hideous face appeared on the edge of the roof. Bloody blood dripped from her mouth, dripping to the ground.
Ah San screamed and fainted to the ground. Maybe his consciousness was not completely detached, and in the haze, he felt that someone was kicking him.
An intermittent voice came to the ears: "...... fainted......""...... Without being scared, isn't it a male ......?"
Then the sound of wheels rolling stopped not far from him, and a clear voice rang out: "Wake him up!" The man's voice was not loud, and his tone was light, but somehow it made people feel unusually oppressive.
"Yes!" Two men approached him, followed by the sound of swords unsheathed. The air seemed to be torn apart, and the sharp blade burst through the air, with an unstoppable momentum. His wrist even felt the tingling sensation from the sharp wind blade, and then with a sharp slam of his spirit, his eyes broke open.
At this moment, the bright sword was only a finger away from his wrist. The cold sweat that had just disappeared came up again. "Uncle spare your life, uncle spare your life."
Ah San didn't even dare to raise his head, so he turned over and knelt. But when he heard a "ding", a long sword fell on the bluestone road in front of him. "You're so daring, and you're still a husband?" But it was a delicate and charming female voice that spoke, and the laughter as crisp as a silver bell floated through the empty street, which was particularly weird.
Ah San raised the corner of his eyes slightly, only to see a fiery red skirt corner, the red dazzling and dazzling. I breathed a sigh of relief in my heart, it didn't seem to be a female ghost.
The man who had just spoken said again: "Fire Sakura, ask!" ”
The woman squatted down with a smile, and a charming face fell into Ah San's eyes, making him in a trance. How can there be such a stunning woman in the world? "Little brother, how to get to Rongchun Inn?" Even the voice is numb to the bone, it is really a stunner in the world.
Ah San swallowed his saliva, his eyes had already begun to drift, and he said softly: "Here, on the southwest side, ......" Before he finished speaking, a knife fell from his neck. With a "bang", the person fell to the ground.
In an instant, the charm on the face of the woman in red was all gone, she clapped her hands, and pulled out the sword on the ground. Walked up to the man in the wheelchair and hugged his fists and said, "Mountain Lord." ”
The man's eyebrows were hidden in the shadows, and he couldn't see it clearly, but his temperament was cold and tight. "Help me up!"
"Mountain Lord, your legs ......" Before she could finish speaking, a baby-faced man behind her grabbed her.
"Help me up!" He faintly showed a hint of impatience, only to repeat it again. Sakura stepped forward, grabbed the man's arm, and slowly stood up as he stood.
"Return Yang Dan!" When he was firm, he pulled out his arms and stood up straight. However, his legs trembled slightly due to long-term paralysis and inability to support him. "Bring it!" There was anger in his voice. A middle-aged man with a long beard behind him sighed and handed over a pill. The man didn't look at it, but tilted his head and swallowed it.
When I took the first step, my legs were still shaking. But in the second and third steps, the effect of the medicine gradually came up, and he gradually walked like an ordinary person.
"Everyone, go to the Rongchun Inn." In the night, he said lightly. Then, by luck, he flew up to the roof and sped southwest at an astonishing speed.
Huo Sakura looked at his back and sighed faintly: "A Yang Returning Pill, most of his body is damaged." Is it worth it? ”
The baby-faced man behind her shook his fan and smiled, "As long as the mountain lord thinks it's worth it, it's worth it." Let's go! He folded his fan and jumped onto the roof, his figure disappearing into the night.
At this moment, smoke suddenly rose from a place in Huizhou City, and gradually the flames soared into the sky, and the whole night was burned red. Is that...... Rongchun Inn in the southwest corner!
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
The entire Rongchun Inn was surrounded by fire, and several streets near and far were noisy. Many people shouted: "Go to the water, go to the water." Everyone, come and put out the fire. "There was a lot of noise, and the surrounding families came with buckets to put out the fire.
But the fire was still too big, and it was useless. The fire grew more and more raging, and the pillar in the front hall of the inn collapsed. Fortunately, the people downstairs escaped from the inn when the fire just spread, and there were no casualties for the time being. But several guests who came in the evening lived upstairs, and the owner of the Rongchun Inn was so anxious that he was about to cry, and hurriedly sent someone to the City Lord's Mansion to report the case.
The night is cloudy and windy, the fire borrows the wind, the wind helps the fire, and the flames soar to the sky for a while. Fortunately, the terrain of Rongchun is still quite empty, far away from the people's houses, otherwise if it burns like this, it is estimated that a street will be burned all night.
At this time, the fire completely separated the inside and the outside. Ning Yan was reading a book under the oil lamp, and she smelled the smell of smoke and knew that it was not good. Before he could reach the door, several men in black from head to toe broke in.
"Who?" Ning Yan asked in a condensed voice.
"Naturally, it's a life-seeker." The leader sneered, and with a wave of his left hand, a meteor hammer smashed towards Ning Yan's head. Before she reached the front door, she was broken by a silver sword volley, and she changed her direction abruptly.
"Lord Ling, are you alright?" The person who came was dressed in black and dashing, it was Luo Hua, he turned over and landed in front of Ning Yan, and took back his sword. Ning Yan nodded: "What about Qingluan and Liuyu?" ”
"Still fighting, about twelve or thirteen." Luo Hua said in a low voice. At this time, there was thick smoke billowing in the house, and Ning Yan coughed violently. "Commander!" Luo Hua said urgently.
"It doesn't matter." She smiled reluctantly and said to the black-clothed man who was the leader: "Ahem...... Didn't the Thirteen Demons of the Clouds never participate in the affairs of the court? How...... Cough...... Breaking the rules today? ”
The man's eyes exposed outside the scarf were unusually gloomy, and he sneered when he heard this: "It's a pity that the eldest princess doesn't want to hear the name of my Youyun Thirteen Evils." Since we have taken your life from someone else's money, we will never return empty-handed. ”
"So...... Ahem...... Extremely...... Good. She gradually became a little overwhelmed, so she had to lean on Luo Hua's shoulder, and the corners of her mouth hooked up a weak smile: "Thank you for your hard work, strong man." ”
Luo Hua's brows were tightly locked, holding his sword, and his whole body was tense. He suddenly changed his hand and hugged Ning Yan, who was already groggy on his back, in his arms. "It seems that the people who hired you really paid their money, and even let the thirteen of you go out together...... But what is the Thirteen Demons of the Clouds? In front of Gui Lanshan, it's not worth mentioning at all! ”
He sneered and tangled with the man in black. On weekdays, he can also see a draw with Youyun Liusha alone. But today, there was one more person in his arms, and many moves could not be used, and he was hit by several swords in a short time. After all, the opponents were the five most powerful people in the Thirteen Demons of Youyun, and Luo Hua went from being at ease at the beginning to gradually being at a disadvantage.
A man in black sneered: "With her, you will only lose." ”
Luo Hua smiled and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with contempt. At this time, thick smoke was billowing and the flames were flickering, and the fire had already burned into this room. The beams of the house were crumbling and nearly collapsing.
Youyun Wusha glanced at each other, and attacked at the same time. Luo Hua put the person in his arms into a relatively safe corner, raised his sword to meet him, and without restraint, the sword technique was fully unleashed. Chopping, chopping, stabbing, picking, no one is faster than the sword in his hand at this moment. Turning around, he stabbed a person in the heart, and slit the throat of another person with a backhand. The black-clothed man led by him looked at him and ran towards Ning Yan, who was lying on the ground, and the remaining two people surrounded him.
Luo Hua sneered, lifted a burnt piece of wood and smashed it into the two people in front of him, and then spun around and landed beside Ning Yan. Under the reflection of the firelight, his eyes also had three points of bloodthirsty killing intent. Word by word, he said coldly: "This is hell, and those who enter it will die." The sword moved at will, and the masked man fell to the ground between the lightning and flint.
At this moment, the pillar in the middle fell suddenly, and it was about to hit Ning Yan, who was lying on the ground. At this time, he had no way to retreat, the weight of the falling wood was extremely heavy, and he could only use his back to support himself so that he would not overwhelm the woman in white lying on the ground. The blood in his chest surged, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
I don't know how long later, while he was struggling to hold on, a powerful air current broke through the hole in the roof, and completely destroyed the crumbling house. Under the sound of "boom", countless bricks and stone tiles fell. However, he only felt a lightness on his body, and the blackened beam that pressed against his back seemed to be lifted up with a strong force.
"Can you get up? Do you want me to carry you? A cold voice teased.
Hearing this voice, he only felt relieved in his heart, and collapsed to the ground as soon as he turned over. The ignorance on the back gradually turned into the pain of a fire.
"The Mountain Lord is here?" He asked in a low voice. Someone took his hand and dragged him up, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that it was a man in Tsing Yi shaking a fan.
"I see that you Gui Lan Seven Envoys simply changed their names to Gui Lan Seven Rats, and they were forced to be like this by the Thirteen Demons of Youyun." The man shook his fan and sneered.
Luo Hua staggered, stared at him and asked, "What about Lord Ling?" ”
"Now that the mountain lord is here, do you think there is anything else to do with you? Now you can get some rest. With that, he folded the fan and patted him lightly on the shoulder. Luo Hua fell in response.
When he was unconscious, he vaguely heard the man sigh and say: "One or two are like this, in the end, love words are harmful." Before he could think about it, he fell into a coma.
