Chapter Twenty-Five: The Demon Fox's First Goal
(Ask for collection and recommendation)
An old wooden table, empty except for a thick layer of grease, with three people sitting around it.
A man in his thirties, with a dark complexion and scars on his face and hands, "I am a blacksmith. He said he would not be named.
A man in his fifties and sixties, with darker complexion and wrinkles around his eyes, looked like he was smiling at first glance, but when he looked again, he was facing two unfathomable cold pools, "charcoal-burning." He also refused to be named, and introduced it more briefly.
A man in his twenties, only he had a real smile on his face, showing a little politeness, "I make candles, maybe you used my goods once." ”
Hu Guiyang bowed his hand, "It turns out that the three of them have a deep relationship with the Fire God, and I am ...... A lazy man. Isn't the old woman who plays with fire absent? ”
"It's not time yet." The old charcoal worker said coldly, "As soon as you appeared, we suffered heavy losses, and nearly two hundred brothers fell into the hands of the government's eagle talon, how could you let you see the old mother who planted fire?" ”
He Million invited Hu Guiyang to sit on the last stool and stood next to him, "To be fair, this matter has nothing to do with Hu Gongzi, the government has been eyeing us for a long time, and because of the demon fox case, it is even tighter." Before this worship, there was a suggestion to suspend it once, or to change the place......"
"If even worshipping the gods is so casual, what else do we believe in the god of fire? What is the difference between it and those stupid women who worship ghosts and gods at home? "The old charcoal worker is a fiery temper.
He Million smiled bitterly, "Let's not talk about these first, now that the God of Fire has chosen Hu Gongzi, let's ......"
The old charcoal worker stood up, and after raising his hand, a clear handprint was left on the greasy table, "I don't believe it!" ”
The young wax worker said: "The real fire was indeed lit for Hu Gongzi. ”
"He was standing behind the fire mirror, he hadn't been burned by the real fire at all, he couldn't count, he had to try again." The old charcoal worker glared at Hu Guiyang, and the wrinkles around his eye sockets widened greatly.
The young wax worker shook his head, "The real fire has been extinguished, and it will not be lit again until next year, it is too late." ”
"Then you can't use him, a Jinyi guard's doglegs, tens of thousands of believers in the Vulcan Sect, can't you still choose a person to eliminate demons?" The old charcoal workers still don't want to admit it.
The scene was deadlocked, but Hu Guiyang, who was arguing, didn't listen much, all his thoughts were on the handprint, staring at it, and suddenly raised his head and said to the old charcoal worker: "Can I interrupt and ask a question?" ”
The old charcoal worker sat down angrily, and He Million said, "Hu Gongzi, please ask." ”
"Do you really believe that?"
"What do you mean?" The old charcoal worker clenched his fists.
"Everything underground. I can see that the fire, the old mother, are all tricks, and you should know it in your hearts. ”
The old charcoal worker pointed at Hu Guiyang, but his eyes looked at his companion, "See, he doesn't even believe it, but you want to let him be the successor of the god of fire?" ”
"It's not us, it's the god of fire who chose him." He Million corrected.
Before the old charcoal worker could speak, Hu Guiyang retorted first: "To be precise, it was the guy who controlled the flames who chose me, you can ask him to understand." ”
The other four all looked at him with strange eyes, and even the old charcoal worker did not follow his words.
"What did I say wrong? Just spray a little oil, fan a little wind, and sprinkle a little mineral powder on the 'real fire', and you can make it burst and turn green, am I right? ”
The young wax worker coughed, "That's to the effect, it's much more complicated to operate, just green powder ......"
"Why are you telling him this?" The old charcoal worker did not let his accomplices reveal too many secrets.
The young wax worker smiled, "Yes, the key issue is not here. That one...... Lao He, you can say it. ”
He Million continued: "Hu Gongzi is right, the real fire really needs to be controlled, the four of us are the controllers, ashamed, as soon as something happens to the Vermilion Bird Temple, we will run faster than anyone else......"
"Does that need to be said?" Once again, the old charcoal worker expressed his dissatisfaction.
He Million had a good temper and said with a smile: "In short, as soon as the officers and soldiers arrive, no one will control the real fire, after Hu Gongzi stands on the platform of the Virgin Mary - the real fire is ignited by himself, this kind of thing has never happened." ”
Hu Guiyang didn't believe a word, but he didn't bother to defend, "Okay, since that's the case, being idle is also idle, I'll be a descendant of the Fire God, let's talk about the benefits first." ”
"Wait, we haven't approved yet." The old charcoal worker hurriedly said that he believed in the real fire, but he did not believe in the young man in front of him.
"If the descendants of the god of fire are to be recognized by mortals, then what is the point of the god of fire?" Hu Guiyang learned a lot of dialectics from his father-in-law, and he was the best among his brothers, so he seemed to have a poisonous mouth, "Could it be that Your Excellency has a higher status than the old mother who planted fire?" Is it the reincarnation of the god of fire? ”
The old charcoal worker was speechless, held back for a while, turned to the middle-aged blacksmith who had not opened his mouth since introducing himself, opened his mouth and almost called out his name, and immediately held back, "That...... You tell me? ”
The blacksmith snorted.
"What do you mean, you mean something?" The old charcoal worker was in a hurry.
"Vulcan has given the answer, I don't have much to say." The middle-aged blacksmith finally spoke.
Even if it is admitted that Hu Guiyang is the descendant of the God of Fire, the blacksmith's words are very weighty, and the old charcoal worker sighed heavily and did not ramble anymore.
Hu Guiyang felt that it was not enough, "You go and ask the old mother who planted the fire and listen to her opinion." What is her relationship with Vulcan? ”
The young wax worker replied, "The old mother of fire is the messenger of the god of fire, and she does not interfere in the affairs of the church. ”
The old charcoal worker frowned and said, "Even if he is the heir chosen by the Fire God, there is no need to tell him everything, right?" Don't forget, he himself doesn't believe in these at all, and he is still Jinyiwei's dog. ”
"Uncle, you said that I am a minion and an eagle claw, I recognize it, I don't need a mouthful of 'dog legs', right? You don't think I'm a descendant of the god of fire, and I didn't say I wanted to be. You have to tell me what is good before I can make a decision, this is a consultation, not a begging. ”
Hu Guiyang looked at the four of them one by one, the old charcoal worker lowered his head, his nose was furrowed, obviously holding back his anger, the other three looked at each other, He Million said: "Hu Gongzi wants to find out the demon fox and clear his suspicions, we can help." ”
"You have a grudge against the demon fox?"
"The demon fox came out on Chinese New Year's Eve, and the third person killed was one of the five elders of the Vulcan Sect."
"You're all elders?"
The four nodded.
"Even you?" Hu Guiyang asked the young wax worker alone.
"Elders have nothing to do with age." The young wax worker smiled, and he seemed to be more interested in Hu Guiyang than others.
Hu Guiyang turned to He Million, "What are you using your daughter to bring me in?" You didn't want me to be a descendant of Vulcan in the first place, did you? ”
"Marrying a daughter is sincere, this matter will be talked about later, as for the heir of the fire god, an hour ago, I didn't expect it to be you."
"You flew over the wall last night, didn't you show me?"
He Million nodded, "I did intend to lure you to the Vermilion Bird Temple, but that was to attract you to join the Fire God Sect, and the rest of the matter, alas, no one expected it, let alone me." ”
Hu Guiyang admitted that these explanations were quite reasonable, "Okay, it can be said that the demon fox is there, what clues do you have?" ”
This time it was the young wax worker who spoke, "There are not many clues, we only know that the demon fox is strong and can kill people from a hundred miles away." ”
Hu Guiyang smiled: "You also suspected me at the beginning, and you brought me here to avenge the elder who was killed last year, right?" ”
The young wax worker was slightly embarrassed, and He Million said: "Anyway, you are now a descendant of the God of Fire, and for us, this is stronger than any evidence, which shows that you are not a demon fox." ”
"In case I wasn't chosen and was killed as a demon fox, do you want your daughter to be widowed?"
He Million was also a little embarrassed, "The important thing is how to deal with the demon fox ...... in the future"
Hu Guiyang didn't care about the other party's loopholes, and said with a smile: "That's right, let's talk about the demon fox." ”
The young wax worker continued: "Demon foxes kill people with a purpose, starting from Xicheng, followed by the north, east, and south. ”
"How many of you Vulcan have been killed?"
"The Demon Fox's goal is not just us......" The young wax worker was hinted at by the old charcoal worker and hurriedly changed his words, "Now that the four sides are turned, the Demon Fox has begun to turn to the middle, that is, the palace. ”
The young wax worker thought that as soon as the word "palace" came out, the other party would be shocked, but Hu Guiyang frowned, "No, the demon fox has been killing people in Dongcheng recently, and once in the north outside the city, and I haven't heard of a demon fox in the palace." Especially after the demon Li Zilong was arrested, the demon fox did not appear for several months. ”
The four of them glanced at each other again, and after getting the mutual acquiescence, the young wax worker said: "The demon fox is very smart, kill and injure several people to hide people's eyes and ears, and then choose the real target to attack, the matter of Dongcheng, and the demon Li Zilong, it is estimated that they are part of the trick." As for the palace, I can tell you that in fact, something happened, but the news was blocked, and it has not been leaked. ”
said that there had been an accident in the palace, Hu Guiyang believed it more, otherwise, the East and West factories would not be so interested in the demon fox.
Regardless of whether the news is true or not, it is somewhat useful, although Hu Guiyang still has a lot of doubts in his heart, he doesn't want to ask anymore, and stands up, "How can you see through the blindfold and confirm which person is the real target of murder?" ”
The young wax worker shook his head without hesitation, "I can't say this. ”
"I'm a descendant of the god of fire."
"I'm sorry, but that's not something we in the Vulcan Cult can call for."
"Okay, I don't have anything to ask for the time being, so I'll leave here, I'll come back to you if I have something in the future, these three must not say where they live, I'll go to where I go."
The four of them were surprised, and He Million hurriedly said, "Where are you going?" ”
"Where else can I go? Go home. ”
"Hu Gongzi was chosen by the God of Fire as his successor, and this matter was witnessed by the officers and soldiers, and your return to the city is tantamount to throwing yourself into a net."
"Throwing myself into the net is my favorite thing to do right now." Since Hu Guiyang decided to stay in the capital, every step he has taken has been a "self-throwing net", and he believes that if he continues to walk step by step like this, he may be able to see the situation more clearly, "There are still a few nets waiting for me in the city." ”
Hu Guiyang was not asking for advice, yawned, turned around and walked out, no matter how the people behind him called, he didn't look back.
The heir of the god of fire left, and the four people in the room looked at each other, and the old charcoal worker said: "He doesn't believe our words at all, I really don't understand, how can the god of fire ...... Sin and sin ......" The old charcoal worker whispered a set of scriptures and repented of the sin of doubting God just now.
Hu Guiyang was very satisfied with the harvest of going out of the city this time, and walked towards Chongwenmen, and someone caught up behind him, it was He Million, who was panting, "Hu Gongzi, wait a minute." ”
"You'd better save your tongue, I won't marry your daughter, your son...... You can figure it out yourself, and as for the demon fox, I'll use my own way to deal with it. ”
"It's not these things." He Million let out a breath, "Since you are a descendant of the Fire God, you should learn the Fire God Technique." ”
Hu Guiyang said perfunctorily: "Take it, I won't pay." ”
He Million smiled: "How can you ask for money?" The Fire God Recipe is the treasure of this sect, and I am not qualified to teach it, so I just came over to remind me that the Fire God Recipe will soon go to Hu Gongzi, soon. ”
"Don't come when I'm upset. He million, I also remind you that one day, I will still avenge my father-in-law. ”
Hu Guiyang still didn't believe it, but his eyes were not as confused as he was at the beginning.
