(Ask for collection and recommendation)

Hu Guiyang was not so easy to deceive, and immediately guessed that He Million must have used the help of some kind of prop, as for why he did it and who he did it to, it is difficult to say.

"Keep up." Hu Piaoyang whispered, he didn't check if there was a mechanism, but ran to the gate first, and he vaguely remembered the direction.

"You've already won, what are you going to do?"

"Yes, I won, from now on you are my servant, you must obey my orders, and you are not allowed to ask more."

He Wu was stunned, immediately followed, ran in front of the door to open the door, really no longer asked, if he wants to say that there is any merit, it is willing to gamble and lose.

The He family was alone at the mouth of the alley, surrounded by roads, and the two ran a little slower, and they couldn't see He Million when they went out.

"My dad will be gone, really...... Is...... He didn't even teach me! He Wu was indignant.

"Go to Xue Liu's house."

He Wu's crazy legs turned faster than his thoughts, and he ran more than a dozen steps before asking, "Did my father go to Uncle Xue's house?" ”

"Hmm."

He Wu is very familiar with this area, and he also knows the road in the dark, running in front, but he limps and runs not fast, and he has met a few drunks on the road, but he has not seen He million.

"My dad knows magic, I must learn it, at least heal my leg."

"Tie Guan Li is a god, and he is still lame."

The five madmen were disappointed when they heard this, "Alas, that's right, if it can be cured, my father would have cured it for me a long time ago." ”

Shenmuchang Street is relatively wide, although it is the middle of the night, there are occasional people coming and going, Hu Guiyang slowed down and changed to walking.

The moon is high at night, the streets are full of white flowers, like a slowly flowing river, the houses on both sides are like stone embankments, and the pedestrians are like disoriented fish.

The number of people in the street gradually increased, and strangely enough, these people walked normally, not like the drunks that were common outside the city, and they did not shout, and occasionally spoke in whispers with each other.

Hu Guiyang couldn't help but lower his voice, "Is today a special day?" ”

"I don't know." He Wu's madman lowered his voice, "These people ...... They're all alive, right? ”

"The living." Hu Guiyang didn't want to scare He Wu at this time, "Maybe you will live longer than us." ”

He Wu is not afraid of living people, only ghosts, and is a little relieved, "Look, these people are going to the Fire God Temple." ”

The fire temple was built on the side of the road, it didn't occupy a large area, the gate was open, and the open space in front of the temple was crowded with people, and there were zigzag queues, as if they were all waiting for something.

As he got closer, the five madmen were even more sure that these were all living people, and he became bold again, grabbed a man who walked by, and asked, "What are you doing here?" ”

The man looked at He Wu and whispered, "You don't know? ”

"If you know, don't ask."

"What do you two do?" The man asked rhetorically.

"What does it have to do with you?" He Wu is a madman who is arrogant and authentic.

Hu Guiyang reacted quickly, "My family is a charcoal factory. ”

"No wonder, then you have come to the right place, today is the day of the fire, but all those who start a fire will come to the fire temple to ask for fire, so as to ensure that the fire is strong for a year, and it will not be extinguished or destroyed."

"I see." Hu Guiyang lost interest, waited for the man to walk away, and said to He Wu's madman, "Where is Xue Liu's family?" ”

"Shall we not get a fire?"

"No."

He Wu Madman pointed to a small alley not far ahead, "It's right there." ”

Although close to the main street and the fire temple, the alley is empty, and the road is narrow enough to accommodate only two or three people side by side.

The Xue family is a small courtyard, hiding in the dark, and He Wu has to look for it slowly, "It's here, this is it, do we want to go in?" ”

"Of course."

"I'm going to knock on the door."

Hu Guiyang grabbed He Wu's arm and pulled him to hide behind a tree on the side of the road, the tree was embedded in the wall, only half of it was exposed, barely able to block the figures of the two, fortunately, it was dark, no one could find them unless they came to check.

A bright light floated from the direction of the street, and soon came to the front, and it turned out to be a person carrying a lantern, and the person who went to the fire temple to ask for fire did not carry a lantern, so the appearance of this person seemed a little strange.

The lantern-bearer was followed by two people, standing at the door of Xue's house, coughing twice, and then whispering: "Three disciples, please worship the old mother who planted the fire." ”

After waiting for a while, the courtyard door opened, and the three of them entered.

Hu Guiyang wondered, the fire temple next to it is dedicated to the fire god Zhurong, but it is really strange that these people came to worship what kind of fire mother.

It was not long before another people arrived, either carrying lanterns or empty-handed, and saying the same thing, and they were able to enter the courtyard, and there were no less than twenty people in front of them.

Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one, He Wu Maniac whispered: "The Xue family is not big, just a small courtyard and a room, and ten people feel crowded." ”

Hu Guiyang couldn't figure it out, "Let's go, go in and have a look." ”

He Wu is often a madman in the rivers and lakes, usually bold, but at this time he is cautious, "The Xue family is afraid that it is funny, be careful." ”

Hu Guiyang has another layer of understanding, "That's right, this may be a trap, a trap specially set for me, but I have to go in, only by becoming a 'demon fox' as soon as possible and letting the situation become clear, I can find a way out, like now, I have no chance of winning." ”

"Huh?" He Wu madman didn't understand a word.

"Come on." Hu Guiyang walked quickly to the door of Xue's house, and He Wu had to follow.

"Two disciples, please worship the old mother who planted the fire." Hu Guiyang said.

The door opened, but there was no one inside, Hu Guiyang stepped in first, followed by He Wumad.

The yard is indeed not big, you can walk to the door in a few steps, there is a pile of firewood on the left hand, and a basket and other things are placed on the right hand, which is no different from ordinary people's homes.

There was no one in the courtyard, and I don't know how the courtyard gate was opened.

"It's not like a fairy." He Wu Maniac reminded in a whisper that he had seen "immortals" when he was a child and was more experienced.

Hu Guiyang walked to the only door in two steps, and was about to reach out to push it, but the door opened on its own to make way out.

The room was pitch black, Hu Guiyang went in without hesitation, and He Wu was crazy if he didn't want to pull it, so he immediately followed up.

The door closed behind the two men.

He Wu madman cursed a swear word.

Although he couldn't see it, Hu Guiyang could be sure that there was still no one in the house, and he didn't know what to do next, so he had to stretch out his arms and grope around.

He Wu Madman grabbed Hu Guiyang's belt and did not leave an inch behind him.

"Aren't you bold?"

"I'm not afraid of people, I'm only afraid of ghosts."

Hu Guiyang snorted, he was not afraid, because he knew that all this was a trick, and there must be a mechanism for the courtyard door and the door to open automatically, but it was just hidden in the dark so that outsiders could not see it.

"If the ghost is so scary, why are you still alive? They are all dead and become ghosts, how good it is to scare the living. ”

"Ghost ...... You can't enjoy the food of the world, and you can't have children. ”

"When many people practice literature and martial arts, they don't know the taste of food, and the eunuchs in the palace can't have children, why don't you see them in a hurry to become ghosts?"

"Uh......" He Wu was speechless, his mind was already slow, and he couldn't answer at this time, and suddenly felt that Hu Guiyang's body in front of him sank, and he fell to the ground, he refused to let go, and fell down with a piece, but there was no need to answer.

Falling straight down for a distance, the two fell on a ball of soft things, turned over and sat up, and found that there was a pile of hay under them, and there seemed to be a water-filled skin bag underneath, shaking slightly.

There was a bright light ahead, illuminating a winding passage.

"There is actually this under the Xue family! How many times have I been here, and Uncle Sixth hasn't invited me to come down and visit. ”

Hu Guiyang jumped to the ground and slapped the straw stick on his body, "Do you believe that ghosts can dig tunnels and light torches?" ”

"It's hard to say." He Wu didn't admit it on his lips, but he was not so scared in his heart.

The two of them were hesitating whether to go down the tunnel, and there was a few thuds above their heads, and three more people fell, and they had already been prepared, and as soon as they landed on the grass, they jumped to the ground.

"Hey, how can anyone do this?" The middle-aged man who was the first to jump off said in surprise.

Hu Guiyang immediately pulled He Wu madman aside, didn't speak, and made a gesture of invitation sideways, and the three people who jumped down one after another were puzzled, thinking that this was the new rule this year, nodded, and walked deeper into the tunnel.

When the three of them walked away, Hu Guiyang immediately followed.

The tunnel is not long, there are a few turns, the last section is a dozen steps, and below is a wide hall, like a large karst cave, which can accommodate hundreds of people without a problem.

There were very few torches in the hall, and there were enough people illuminated, showing a little gloomy, and He Wu was a little afraid, and he followed more closely behind Hu Guiyang.

Nearly 100 people had gathered in the hall, standing in rows, and as soon as the two of them walked down the steps, a man in a fiery red dress greeted him, holding a tea tray in both hands, and several cups of tea on it.

Hu Guiyang smiled, indicating that he was not thirsty, but the man refused to let go, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.

Drinking tea is obviously a procedure, Hu Guiyang had to pick up a cup, turned around and motioned to He Wu Madman to take a cup too, and the man in red watched them take a sip before letting go.

Hu Guiyang and He Wu Madman stood in order, only to see that the people nearby were all men, dressed differently, some with extinguished lanterns at their feet, all standing straight and not saying a word, and the whole hall was as quiet as if no one was there.

He Wu was a madman who could not speak, but it was difficult to stand up straight, so he had to support his body on one leg.

After more than half an hour, nearly 200 people arrived, standing in more than ten rows, and the ceremony finally began, first in the front row, and then in rows, and everyone shouted: "Plant a fire, old mother, burn my wisdom." ”

When it was Hu Guiyang's turn, the male duck of He Wu's madman had a very clear voice.

If it is repeated seven times, the words shouted out each time are different, but fortunately, it is relatively simple, and once you learn it, two outsiders will not leak the stuffing.

At the innermost part of the hall, a fire suddenly broke out, rising and extinguishing, and the first row of people knelt down, and then every time a fire broke out, a row of people fell to their knees.

When more than a dozen rows of people knelt down, the fire that came out again turned emerald green, several feet high, and approached the top of the hall, and everyone frantically shouted "Old Mother of Fire", and rested for a long time.

The fire was a little weaker, and a blurred old woman's face appeared in the fire!

He Wu was trembling with fright, but Hu Guiyang was startled, and he couldn't see the flaw for a while.

"The demon descends the demon fox, in order to harm the world, the god of fire wants to choose a successor to act for the heavens and cut off this demon." The face of the fire spoke, "Who among you can take on this task?" ”
