The fire spread rapidly, and the raging fire was engulfing the Taixue West Garden, which happened to be the school dormitory. At this time, it was already night, and many students went back to the dormitory to rest, the fire came suddenly, and in the thick smoke, these powerless scholars were instantly confused.

At this moment of urgency, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang arrived and jumped into the academy to save people.

Outside, Zhao Pu and the shadow guards also arrived, and the Imperial City Army Water Dragon Team followed, and everyone began to put out the fire.

The students evacuated the fire in an orderly manner, and Zhao Lan and others also ran to the gate of Taixue to help Gongsun and Langzhong deal with the burned students together.

There were fires on both sides, and in comparison, of course, it was more important to save the students Taixue, and everyone could only watch the only remaining place where yin and yang feng shui converged and burned down.

After a while, the shadow guards replied to Zhao Pu, "There is no one in the school, and the fire is under control." ”

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang also came out, covered in cigarette ash, and the two of them patted their clothes while looking at the abandoned house together.

"Can't be saved, can you?" Zhao Pu asked.

"There's not enough water." Ouyang looked at the water dragon car, there was only one left that was still full, and the others had to wait for the team behind to transport them, such a fire, it was a blessing that there were no dead people.

Zhan Zhao frowned, and looked at the abandoned mansion again, "It's a pity......"

"Not necessarily." Bai Yutang glanced at the remaining water dragon car, and seemed to have an idea.

"Can this be saved?" Zhan Zhao was curious.

"I haven't tried, but it might work." Bai Yutang said, and looked at the fire again.

"What do you want?" Zhao Pu asked Bai Yutang.

"When I was a child, I heard my master talk about a method, and he seemed to have done that before." Bai Yutang said, raising his leg and kicking the waterwheel out of the waterwheel...... The car was kicked into the air and flew straight above the burning ruined house.

It's just that, compared to the burning house, the waterwheel seems very small, and there is a bit of a drop in the bucket, what can a cart of water do?

Zhan Zhao seemed to understand something, and drew out Juque and swung a few swords...... At the same time, Bai Yutang had already jumped into the air, and sent a high-fived internal force at the waterwheel that was being split apart because it was swept by the sword blade sent by Juque......

In an instant, a chill struck, this kind of internal force was used by everyone who saw Tianzun, and with the palm power of Bai Yutang, the water in the waterwheel instantly dispersed and turned into white crushed ice slag, and when the wind blew, a large area was dispersed. Probably because the fire was too hot below, everyone saw a layer of white mist rising into the air above the house......

The people below looked at it curiously, and they didn't understand what it was for, although it was quite beautiful.

At the same time that Bai Yutang landed, he raised his hand and shot two ringing arrows at that area, and the ringing arrows exploded in the sky, shining as bright as day, almost attracting everyone's attention.

However, when everyone was looking up at the sky, Bai Yutang glanced back.

He didn't look at anyone else, but was sitting on Zhao Pu's shoulder, looking at his little fourth son curiously.

Xiao Sizi saw Bai Yutang suddenly clapping his hands gently, seemingly inadvertently and intentionally......

Zhao Puzheng was looking at the bright light in the sky, and he didn't know what Bai Yutang wanted, when he heard the sound of "popping" three palms in his head.

Zhao Pu raised his face and saw that the little fourth son was clasping his hands together and chanting silently, "It's raining." ”

Zhao Puwei raised his eyebrows......

After the two arrows lit up, everything seemed to be back to normal, the fire was still strong, and nothing changed in the sky except for a few clouds.

When everyone looked at Bai Yutang with some doubts, suddenly, they all fell silent.

Everyone in the audience subconsciously made a listening action, because ...... There was a "boom" of thunder in the air, which was a little muffled at first, but suddenly ......

A bolt of lightning streaked across the sky.

As the crowd cheered, the rain poured down.

A sudden torrential rain extinguished the fire, and the ruined house was saved. Although charred black, the house still stands.

Bao Zheng asked Gongsun, "Sir, is it okay to be burned?" ”

Gongsun smiled faintly, "Naturally, it's no problem, as long as the house!" ”

Master Bao smiled and nodded, and also folded his hands, "God bless." ”

In the cheering crowd, Zhanzhao's arm lightly touched Bai Yutang, "Did you conjure up this rain, or did the little fairy ask for it?" ”

Bai Yutang also smiled, "Then I have to ask God." ”

The rain was also evil, but it passed in a flash, and as soon as the fire was extinguished, the rain almost stopped.

"Sure enough, it's true."

At this time, with another team of water dragons, he had just arrived, and he happened to witness the scene Ge Qing walked to Bai Yutang's side and said, "I have heard it before, a hundred years ago, Tianzun begged for rain. It is said that Tianzun used internal force to make water vapor directly turn into rain clouds, and then shot arrows to lead thunder and rain, extinguishing the fire that almost destroyed the imperial city, it turned out to be true! ”

Ge Qing looked at Bai Yutang with admiration in his eyes, of course, as for whether to look at Bai Yutang or look at Tianzun a hundred years ago through Bai Yutang, only he knew the Dao.

Zhan Zhao raised his eyebrows at Bai Yutang - dare to love Tianzun who also begged for rain back then?

Bai Yutang touched his chin and smiled-almost, that is, the demon king Yu is estimated to be older than the fourth son.

Zhan Zhao shook his head helplessly, and it was also a loss that Bai Yutang could think of.

The little fourth son was hugged by Zhao Pu at this time, blocking the rain with his sleeves, and watching Xiao Liang celebrate the rain while jumping, he was also very happy.

This was followed by a hectic firefighting process.

Ge Qing said to Master Bao, "The emperor heard that Taixue was on fire, so he asked me to put out the fire, and now that the fire has been extinguished, my lord should enter the palace first, don't delay the banquet." ”

Master Bao looked at Zhanzhao and the others who had already run into the house, and estimated that these people were not in the mood to go to the banquet, so they pulled a sigh of the magical eighth prince and entered the palace.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang walked into the abandoned mansion and saw rubble all over the ground.

Lin Yehuo walked to a pillar, looked at the pillar that had been burnt into charcoal, and frowned, "The fire is burning from the inside out, and someone here has poured a lot of fire oil." ”

"There's also on the curtain." Zou Liang picked up a piece of burnt cloth curtain and sniffed it, "The smell of fire oil is very strong." ”

"It seems that someone is going to burn down this abandoned house, and it just so happens that we are going to use the abandoned house to test the Yin and Yang Palace tonight." Zhan Zhao hugged his arms, "This desire to cover up is also obvious." ”

"Brother Zhan."

At this time, Bao Yan ran in.

Zhan Zhao looked back at him and saw that he was anxious and a little puzzled.

"There is a master in Taixue who has died!" Bao Yan said anxiously.

Everyone was stunned.

Zhao Pu frowned, "How is it possible?" Haven't all the people been saved? Taixue's ignition can't burn people at all. ”

"It's not! The master was carried out of Dongyuan, Dongyuan was not on fire at all, he was not burned to death, and he was injured in the chest! Bao Yan waved his hand and motioned for everyone to hurry up and take a look.

Zhan Zhao and the others ran out of the abandoned house and arrived at the gate of Taixue.

At this time, Ge Qing had already evacuated the onlookers with the Imperial City Army.

Gongsun was looking at a corpse on the ground, frowning.

Zhan Zhao walked over to look and found that it was a gentleman in his forties, his chest and clothes were dyed red, and it could be seen that it was an arrow that pierced his heart, and he had already lost his breath.

On the side, many Taixue students cried, and Zhao Lan also cried.

Chunhua and Wang Qi both frowned with red circles in their eyes.

"Who is this?" Zhan Zhao asked.

"It's Master Wang." Chunhua replied, "His name is Wang Xueyun, and he is a university scholar." ”

"He's nice and funny, who killed him so ruthlessly?" Wang Qi was dissatisfied.

Although Zhanzhao doesn't know much about officialdom, he knows that many officials surnamed Wang in the Imperial City are from Prime Minister Wang's family, and the Wang family is also a scholarly family, and there are many literati, this Wang Xueyun ......

Seeing Wang Qi wiping his tears and asking the scholar to go back quickly to inform his father, Zhan Zhao guessed that it was estimated that this master and Prime Minister Wang Cheng did have something to do with each other.

"Zhan-sama!"

At this time, I saw a few Taixue students running over, and when they arrived in front of Zhanzhao, they said, "We saw the arsonist!" He's wearing a ghost mask! ”

"He had a torch in one hand and poured oil on the other, and we went to stop him, and he kicked us away."

"It's fierce, and then the kung fu is very good!"

"After he set the fire, I saw him go east!"

"That's right! Maybe it's him who killed the master! ”

……

Zhanzhao frowned, and asked Wang Dynasty Ma Han and Zhang Long Zhaohu to take the soldiers to the east to search.

The rest of the crowd looked at each other—it was Ghostface again! So did he create this chaos to burn down the abandoned mansion or kill the prince?

"Exhibition...... Exhibition-sama! ”

At this time, I saw two students walking out with a white-haired old master.

Everyone knows that this old man's surname is Lin Mingxiao, Lin Fuzi, he is over seventy years old this year, a scholar, not only a Taixue master, but also the former emperor and the current emperor's master, and he has also taught Zhao Pu. The old man is highly respected, in addition to Master Bao, he has the final say in many things, and he will also participate in the marking and questioning of the big and small exams every year.

Lin Fuzi seemed to be on fire at this moment, and he couldn't breathe, if it weren't for the two students to support him, it was estimated that he would have fallen headlong.

He stumbled out and called out to Zhanzhao, "Come and see!" ”

Zhao Pu stepped forward to support him.

"Lord Wang...... Lord Wang, too! Lin Fuzi's voice and hands trembled, "What a nonsense, nonsense!" ”

Gongsun pricked the old man with a few stitches behind his ears and on the door of his head to calm him down.

Zhan Zhao asked the two students who were supporting him, "What's wrong?" ”

"The white jade wall given by the first emperor is written in a mess." The two students asked Zhanzhao to go in and take a look.

Everyone looked at each other, and everyone knew that the first emperor gave Taixue a white jade wall with reliefs on it. It is carved with the poetry and paintings of the talented writers of the past dynasties, which is very delicate and is a sign of Taixue.

Everyone followed a few students to Taixue. I saw that on the snow-white jasper wall in front of the Taixue Daxiqing Academy, someone wrote a poem in blood, no, to be exact, it was a ballad...... Zhan Zhao and others are very familiar with a ballad:

Yin and Yang Palace, Yin and Yang House, North Yin and South Yang White Candlestick. Lay the word lamp, the spiritual position card, a handful of yellow paper and a handful of firewood. The ghost fires, the ghost eyes open, and the ghost-faced man leads the way. One person knelt, two people carried, three people and four people were buried underground, and in the blink of an eye, there was a row of corpses......

Everyone was stunned for a while, this snow-white jade, with this blood-red hideous and devouring ballad, was really unspeakably dazzling.

In order to protect the jade from the wind and sun, it was placed in a long corridor specially built, and it had not been rained just now, so the blood stains had not been washed away, and it had dried up. It can be seen that the person who wrote used internal force, and the blood characters were almost embedded in the jade, which was worth a lot of money, and I was afraid that it would be destroyed.

"There's still one in the back." One student pointed to the back of the jade.

Everyone turned to the back, and they saw that this side was shocking, eight blood-red characters - well-dressed beasts, Sven scum.

Zhan Zhao couldn't help frowning.

On the side, Bai Yutang raised his eyebrows slightly, "Good words." ”

"Is this crooked or not?" Watching the excitement from the side, Pang Yu tilted his head in confusion.

"Wow! Good word! ”

At this time, Gongsun and Bao Yan, who had just come over, couldn't help but shout.

Wang Qi, who is good at calligraphy, has his nose attached to the jade bi, and praises, "Good words......"

"Enough of you!"

Lin Fuzi's face was blank and he scolded, "No matter how good the words are, it is ...... to do such a humiliating and lawless thing Also...... Unforgivable! ”

Before he finished speaking, the old man began to gasp again, Gongsun hurriedly patted him on the back, and Zhao Pu on the side glanced at a few scholars, that means - you are all honest, don't be angry for a while!

"Strange." Bai Yutang looked back and forth, "Why is the words 'well-dressed beasts and scum' written so well, but the words of this ballad in the back are so ordinary?" ”

"That's right!" Bao Yan also nodded.

"It's not written by one person at all!" Gongsun asked Master Lin to help him back to rest first, while carefully studying these words.

"Did the ghost-faced man write it?" Zhao Lan asked.

Everyone didn't have a clue at this time.

This busyness made it easy to settle all the injured, and the students of the academy were not so excited, but looking at the blood words on the jade bi, the case became more confusing. Coupled with Qiao Xin's family, the ghost-faced man has already done two major cases, and this trend will soon be known to the streets...... After all, there are still many old people in Kaifeng who have experienced the rebellion of the ghost-faced people back then, and once the matter spreads, panic is inevitable.

"Zhan-sama."

At this time, the dynasty Mahan and the others returned, and they chased them to the north, but they found no trace of the ghost-faced man.

"Reasonable." Bai Yutang said, "Take off the mask, no one knows who he is." ”

Zhan Zhao nodded.

While speaking, Bao Zheng walked in outside, and the eighth prince also followed, and there was also Master Pang who came to join in the fun.

It seems that the two of them went to the palace in a hurry, and they didn't have a banquet, so they told Zhao Zhen about the general facts of the case and came out.

Master Bao walked to the jade bi, frowned, looked at the blood-colored ballad, touched his chin, and thought thoughtfully.

The eighth prince turned to the back and took a look, stunned, and opened his mouth wide to recruit Bao Zheng, "Xiren!" Come and see! ”

Everyone was a little surprised, and rarely heard the eighth prince call Bao Da Zi.

Master Bao was also a little puzzled, turned to the back of the jade bi and took a look, and was stunned on the spot.

The Taishi also looked at it with his arms crossed, and when he saw that both of them were stunned, he asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Everyone also looked at Bao Zheng.

Master Bao walked close to Yubi, looked at the eight big blood characters carefully, and after a long time, he spoke, "This is Qu Zhongyuan!" ”

Everyone was amazed.

"Are you sure, sir?" Gongsun asked, "It's actually easy to imitate handwriting." ”

"I won't ......" Master Bao shook his head again and again, "I am very familiar with his handwriting, not ordinary people can imitate it, it won't be wrong!" ”

After listening to Lord Bao's words, everyone had to think that Zhao Lan saw that the ghost-faced man who ran out was also lame...... Although Ge Qing is not sure, could it be so coincidental? Could it really be Qu Zhongyuan back then?

But isn't Qu Zhong far from knowing martial arts? And he went to the Yin Yang Temple to find his lover, why did he come out more than 20 years later, and he became a ghost-faced man?

Looking at the red blood words again, I can inexplicably feel a strong resentment, what is all this for
