"Well, yes. ”

"Then why don't you ask for help from the academy in Henglan Kingdom? there is a very large academy thousands of miles away from this town, why do you want to ask for help from the Vast Sect farther away?"

"Hey~" The middle-aged man sighed. "Little brother, you don't know, it's not like we didn't think of asking the academy for help, but the price of the academy to deal with this matter is too expensive!

"Hehe, aren't you afraid that the martial artists of the Cangmen Sect will be furious when they come?" Zhang Jishan smiled when he heard this, it turned out that this was the case, no wonder it didn't match the one on the task list.

"No! The martial artist of the Vast Sect is here, although he will be angry, but he will never be angry!" The middle-aged man waved his hand and shook his head again and again.

"Oh, why?" Zhang Jishan was stunned, very puzzled.

"Huh. The middle-aged man smiled and explained slowly. "This land with a radius of tens of thousands of miles is the world of Henglan Country after all. The three major sects of the Henglan Kingdom have all signed treaties with the Henglan Kingdom that they are not allowed to harm the civilians of the Henglan Kingdom! Otherwise, they will definitely be criticized from all over the Henglan Kingdom!"

"I see. After hearing this, Zhang Jishan nodded lightly. But he secretly sighed in his heart, that treaty was just made by Henglan Country and those sects for the common people of Henglan Country, and what would be criticized by Henglan Country up and down is all nonsense!

The only ones that will be criticized are the weak small sects! Sects like the Vast Sect are not within the constraints at all! Have you ever seen a law-maker abide by the rules he has formulated?

"Then among you survivors, have any of you seen the culprit who caused this disaster? If you figure it out, maybe we can help you solve it!"

"Oh, that's a good feeling! Among us survivors, there are really people who have seen the culprit who caused this fire!" The middle-aged man was stunned when he heard this, he originally thought that Zhang Jishan and the others were just talking about it, and he had nothing to do, but he didn't expect that these two people really wanted to help!

Then he shouted to Yongdaokou: "Xiaoli, you come up and tell these two young heroes what you saw!"

A little, unkempt, eleven or twelve-year-old, but very sturdy young man climbed up from the entrance of the road, walked to the middle-aged man's side, looked at Zhang Jishan and the two very calmly and said: "That day, I was setting up a horse in the small courtyard of my home. Suddenly, a flame burst out of the ground!"

"When the flame broke through the ground, I thought it was a monster, and I was startled! But for a long time, the flame was not extinguished, so I took a wooden stick and poked at the flame. Unexpectedly, the wooden stick in my hand was burned into charcoal in an instant!"

Then the flames flew towards my house, and everything that touched the flames burst into flames in an instant. In a few moments, my house was enveloped in a raging fire. ”

"Qi Huo!" After Zhang Jishan heard this, the two glanced at each other, and they both saw the shock in each other's hearts!

"Brother and sister, what is Qihuo?" Xiao Li asked curiously when he heard this.

"Hehe, Qi Huo, similar to us humans, is a creature, but it is very different!" Zhang Jishan smiled slightly, thinking about the introduction of Qi Huo in the book, and slowly narrated to Xiao Li.

"We are born of our parents, but we are born of heaven and earth. However, they are not as numerous as we humans. Flesh and blood make up our bodies, and flames make up the body of Qi Huo! As for whether the flame you are talking about is Qi Fire or not, I have not seen it with my own eyes and I dare not say for sure! Maybe it is some strange demon beast, or a method used by a powerful warrior!"

After hearing this, Xiao Li was thoughtful, and then slowly asked, "Then if you see it, can you judge it?"

"Oh?" Zhang Jishan was stunned when he heard this, could it be that this little force knew where that flame lived? "Do you know where the fire dwells?"

"Hmm!" Xiao Li nodded lightly when he heard this.

"Hehe, that's good, then can you take me and my brother to see it, if you can drive away that flame, you don't have to leave your hometown!" Liu Hanyan rubbed Xiao Li's hair and laughed.

"Good!"

"Hehe, two young heroes, I don't know how to thank you. Hearing this, the middle-aged man smiled and arched his hand to Zhang Jishan and the others. "Please also invite the two young heroes, bother!"

"Hehe, this uncle, you don't have to worry, as long as you don't show malice to that fire, that fire won't attack indiscriminately. Zhang Jishan smiled slightly, waved his hand to the middle-aged man, and then followed behind Xiao Li and walked towards the habitat of Qi Huo.

Half an hour later, on the top of a high mountain in the north-northeast of Qiushui Town, looking at the basin-shaped and steamy lake, Zhang Jishan asked Xiao Li beside him curiously: "The flame you said finally sank into this lake?"

"Yes!" Xiao Li nodded affirmatively when he heard this, the spectacle of the flame entering the water without extinguishing that day has always been engraved in Xiao Li's mind.

Looking at Xiao Li's very sure look, and then looking at the surrounding environment, Zhang Jishan nodded lightly.

Up to now, Zhang Jishan has been very sure that the flame in Xiaoli's mouth is undoubtedly Qihuo!

This basin-like lake was supposed to have been a crater a long time ago, but after the torrent of time, the crater eventually became a basin.

But the lava beneath the basin has not stopped, and that's why there is so much water vapor on the lake. And the constantly flowing lava, beaten by the power of heaven and earth, inadvertently gave birth to a long-lasting flame.

Then, perhaps after a thousand years, ten thousand years, that unquenchable flame gradually gave birth to consciousness and became a fire! And the fire of the nascent consciousness naturally felt new to everything in the outside world, and Qiushui Town was only one or twenty miles away from this hill. Under the constant groping of Qi Huo, Qiushui Town is in a big trouble!

Of course, Qi Fire is a disaster for ordinary people, but it is a rare opportunity for martial artists!

"Smoke, I'll go down and have a look. Zhang Jishan nodded lightly at Liu Hanyan, took a deep breath, and jumped into the lake without waiting for Liu Hanyan to speak.

On the shore of the lake, Liu Hanyan looked at the steamy lake, and silently prayed for Zhang Jishan in his heart.

She naturally knew that Zhang Jishan wanted to collect the Qi fire, but it was extremely dangerous to collect the Qi fire, and if she was not careful, she would die in Huangquan!

And Qi Huo is extremely rare between heaven and earth, if you miss this time, you don't know that you can see Qi Huo again in the Year of the Monkey. So Zhang Jishan knew that it was extremely dangerous to collect the fire, but the opportunity was rare, and he would not be willing not to try it.

The water of the lake is extremely clear, and at a glance, everything in the lake is in full view of Zhang Jishan. When his breath was about to be exhausted, Zhang Jishan quickly rushed out of the lake, and after taking a few breaths of air, he sank into the water again.

Looking at Zhang Jishan, who had changed his anger back and forth no less than a dozen times, Liu Hanyan breathed a sigh of relief. Liu Hanyan naturally hoped that Zhang Jishan could find the fire, but he hoped that Zhang Jishan could not find the fire. In that way, Zhang Jishan would not have to worry about his life.

Just when Liu Hanyan breathed a sigh of relief, he only heard the sound of "bang!", and a column of water rose on the surface of the lake.

I saw a red flame rushing out of the lake, followed by Zhang Jishan with a blue-gold long knife, only to see Zhang Jishan rushing out of the water, raising his knife and slashing towards the flame!

But that flame was extremely flexible, and it was very easy to dodge Zhang Jishan's swift blow.

Zhang Jishan wanted to slash again, but because the momentum was exhausted, he quickly fell into the lake. The flame that caused the fire to tremble and tremble, as if the fire was laughing at Zhang Jishan.

"Smoke, do it!"

When Liu Hanyan heard this, he lightly stepped under his feet, and instantly appeared above the flame, and slashed down with a sword! And the fire that seemed to be mocking Zhang Jishan was also split in half by Liu Hanyan with a sword!

But the Qi fire that was split in half merged together again in an instant, obviously, Liu Hanyan's sword had no effect on this crimson Qi fire. It's like a physical thing, and it doesn't have any effect on it!

"Hmm~" Seeing this, Zhang Jishan fell into contemplation for a while. If the physical thing is useless to this fire, how can we collect this fire?

For a while, the two frowning made the flames of the fire fly up and down even more!

Looking at the fire that mocked the two of them, Zhang Jishan stepped on his legs in the water, and his body was like a sharp sword, and the blue-gold long knife in his hand was also instantly slashed towards the fire by Zhang Jishan.

However, this time, the fire that mocked the two did not stop in place, and let Zhang Jishan chop it. Instead, he flew to the side, dodging Zhang Jishan's knife.

Looking at the flames flying up and down the fire, Zhang Jishan was angry! Another slash slashed at the fire, and then he fell heavily into the lake, splashing a big splash.

After Zhang Jishan fell into the lake, Liu Hanyan's sword also followed closely and slashed towards the fire. And this time, in the face of Liu Hanyan's sword, the fire did not dodge or dodge, allowing Liu Hanyan's sword to cut straight down.

"Huh?" Seeing this, Zhang Jishan was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the blue-gold long knife in his hand, thoughtful. After Liu Hanyan fell into the lake, the corners of Zhang Jishan's mouth curled slightly. "Hanyan, I've thought of a way to subdue this fire! Later, you cooperate with me!"

"Hehe, okay!" Looking at the corners of Zhang Jishan's slightly upturned mouth, Liu Hanyan seemed to understand what Zhang Jishan was thinking, so he smiled and nodded.

"Bang! bang!" the two of them jumped out of the water in unison, hovering above the lake, as if they wanted to play with their fire!

When he rushed to the vicinity of the fire, Zhang Jishan threw the blue-gold long knife in his hand directly at the flying fire. At the same time, the sharp sword in Liu Hanyan's hand also slashed at the body of that fire.

Just as the flames of the fire flew up and down, laughing at Zhang Jishan and the others. I saw that in Liu Hanyan's left hand, the blue-gold long knife that was thrown out by Zhang Jishan was instantly slashed on the body of the fire!
