(Ask for collection and recommendation)

He Million took a sip of tea, looked up and said, "I'm just about to move, is Hu Gongzi willing to come with me?" Not far away, just to the south, a few alleys away from my old home. ”

"You're not afraid of being recognized by the neighborhood?"

"Hehe, I'm not wanted, so what's the point of being recognized?"

"Isn't the government looking for you?" Hu Guiyang is very strange, the fifth brother Hu Guimeng obviously already knows the true identity of He Million, and led his troops to break through the so-called Vermilion Bird Temple, so he should continue to arrest the fish that slipped through the net.

"Hu Gongzi still doesn't know? All the Vulcan people have been released, and not a single one has been harmed. ”

"All I know is that your son is out."

"The others will be fine soon, after all, we didn't do anything wrong, we just gathered together to pray for the real fire."

Hu Guiyang didn't believe that things would be so simple, He Million smiled and said: "Among the more than 100 believers who were arrested that night, most of them were well-known craftsmen of the fire industry, and many of them had served the royal family for generations, and they were all locked up in prison, and even charcoal in the palace was running out. ”

He Million didn't bring anything, walked out of the house, stood outside the door and looked at it a few times, and then beckoned to Hu Guiyang.

There was no one in the alley, and after walking to Shenmuchang Street, Hu Guiyang asked: "Since the government released people, who are you hiding?" ”

"For a long time, our Vulcan Sect has been hidden in the shadows, and it has been made public by your fifth brother, and it has been made public in the world, but the people have been released, but the secrets are gone, and we have to guard against those opponents who are still in the shadows." He Million said as he walked.

Hu Guiyang didn't ask any more questions, nor did he care.

He Million did not take the east-west Shenmuchang Street, crossed the large and small alleys, all the way to the south, and passed through the home of Baoqing Hutong during the period, without stopping.

The road became narrower and narrower, and the surrounding houses began to be low, and they were built in all directions.

He Million suddenly stopped and asked, "What does Master Hu think of this area?" ”

"Messy."

"Yes, this place is only two or three miles away from Shenmuchang Street, and it is only four or five miles away from the capital, so it has become like this, has Hu Gongzi been here?"

Hu Guiyang nodded, "I came once, I don't remember the specifics, at that time, I followed my father-in-law to arrest a demon monk, he hid in a family's house, accepted believers' offerings, and his appetite was too great, forcing several believers' families to die." But when we came to arrest people, it was precisely these believers who resisted the most fiercely, desperately trying to protect the demon monks. ”

"Hehe, this is a common thing, the more you are exhausted, the more you can't admit your mistakes all along, otherwise, you will be useless, and you have no choice but to commit suicide."

Hu Guiyang had already seen this kind of thing, smiled, and said, "This is only four or five miles away from the capital? ”

"It's still based on walking, and if there are no houses blocking it, it's closer."

"You want to take refuge here?"

"Honestly, it's not safe here, and the enemies in the shadows may have more eyeliner here than in the city, but I'm going to take a second risk."

While talking, He Million turned into a short dead end, drove lightly, pushed open the firewood door of a house, there were three grass houses side by side in the courtyard, he took out the key and opened the door of the main house.

The room was very dark, and it took Hu Guiyang to get used to it before he could see the furnishings in the room, directly opposite the kang, a square table in the open space, surrounded by several benches, and worn-out clothes hanging on the wall.

He Million asked Hu Guiyang to sit down, "I'll go boil some water." ”

"No need, let's get down to business first."

He Million sat on the opposite side, "At the foot of the Son of Heaven, just a few miles away, there is such a chaotic place, although there is a lizheng, but never take care of things, the patrol soldiers come once every ten days and a half months." A large number of poor people live here, and there may be one or two bandits in the middle, once the government is recruited, the people will inevitably be unlucky. ”

"This is a place where filth and dirt are hidden, as far as I know, the imperial court has always intended to rectify it, but it has not had time to do it."

"Hehe, this place does hide filth and filth, but has Hu Gongzi ever thought about it, how many such places in the world are there that hide filth and filth?"

"Huh?" Hu Guiyang didn't quite understand what He Million meant.

"From south to north, from west to east, I have traveled a lot of places, seen countless big cities and towns, until I was instructed by a master, I found that there is another truth hidden in the things I am accustomed to."

"What is the truth you call so?" Hu Guiyang asked with a smile, he had heard many strange theories that seemed reasonable, and he was ready to "face the battle" in his heart.

"Everyone says that the world belongs to the Zhu family, but how much territory does the Zhu family really control?"

As soon as He Million opened his mouth, he was suspected of being a big rebel, Hu Guiyang didn't answer, just smiled at the other party.

"The palace is majestic and purified, and it is all owned by the emperor. Out of the palace, the majesty is less, and the purge is worse, but there are palaces, noble mansions, officers and soldiers patrolling the streets, and a demon fox is a sensational event, and it can be regarded as the emperor's territory. Out of the capital, the roads have become narrower, the houses have become shorter, and the people have become more mixed. ”

"Hmm." Hu Guiyang roughly understood what he wanted to say.

"In the city, in Baoqing Hutong, I don't dare to mention the word 'emperor', here, I dare, but only in the house, not on the road. If Hu Gongzi is willing to go further south, it doesn't need to be too far, ten miles is enough, and no one cares about talking about the emperor casually. A little farther away, thirty or fifty miles, scolding the emperor not only will not offend, but will also win a piece of praise. ”

Hu Guiyang smiled: "Ten miles away, there are no people, as for thirty or fifty miles, it is the territory of birds and beasts." ”

"Can the emperor control the birds and beasts?"

"Of course not."

"So the world doesn't all belong to the Zhu family, to be honest, the territory of birds and beasts is even larger, a hundred times that of towns."

"I am a man, not a beast."

"Yes, but those who don't want to be the people of the Zhu family still have a land of birds and beasts to go to."

"You mean the thieves who are kings of the mountains?"

He Million said with a smile: "Occupying the mountain as the king is a way out, in addition, the world is still vast, and there is always enough place to stay." ”

"That's the gods."

"There are immortals, but there are too few, what I say is ordinary people, hundreds of thousands, millions, all over the world, but they are not subject to the jurisdiction of the government, do not accept the emperor's grain, self-sufficient, this is another world, no name and no surname."

"You're talking about the homeless."

"Displaced people are the name of the government, people have lived in the mountains for several generations, even earlier than the founding of Taizu, how can they be 'exile' people?"

Hu Guiyang frowned, "What exactly do you want to say?" Even if there are still a hundred 'worlds', it has nothing to do with me, and it doesn't seem to have anything to do with your Vulcan Sect, I just ask you, did the Vulcan Sect make the thunder and white light that night? ”

"Yes." He Million replied blandly, as if it was just an extremely inconspicuous trivial matter.

"Why?"

"Because you're a descendant of the god of fire."

Hu Guiyang smiled bitterly: "Do you really take the descendants of the Fire God seriously?" ”

"This is an oracle, and we dare not disobey it in the slightest."

"Then let the Vulcan save me directly, why are you involved?"

"If everything is left to the god of fire, won't we, the believers, be decorations? The god of fire has appointed you, and we'll do the rest. ”

Hu Guiyang covered his face with his hands, "With people like you, I can never tell clearly." ”

"Why bother to say it? Hu Gongzi accepted it with peace of mind, that is, you don't even have to become a believer, the fire god's move must have a deep meaning, maybe it is to be an unbeliever like Hu Gongzi in order to achieve the purpose of the fire god. ”

Hu Guiyang still covered his face, "Look at you a few more times, I'm afraid I won't be able to help but do it." I now understand how the five madmen feel about me. ”

"Hehe, I'd better go boil some water."

He Million went out.

Hu Guiyang put down his hand, propped his elbows on the table, stared blankly at an old robe hanging on the wall in front of him, and muttered, "How does my father-in-law deal with this kind of person?" I've been with my father-in-law for so many years, and I haven't even noticed. ”

He Million brought back a pot and two bowls, "No tea, a bowl of water, it should quench your thirst." ”

Hu Guiyang took a sip, the water was very hot, but the water quality was not good, and there was a bitter taste in his mouth.

"How did you do that?" He asked.

"What?"

"Thunder and white light, that requires a lot of gunpowder."

"A lot, you also need some special skills, this is not difficult, the key is to bury it in advance, we first learned from the Lingji Palace that the scholars were going to catch demons in the Zhao Mansion, so we found the cook in the house, and through his help, it was arranged one day in advance."

"It turned out to be a cook, yes, he wanted to start a fire."

"He is not a believer, he is just helping, and the Zhao family has no one to call the shots at that time, so he gave us a chance."

Hu Guiyang walked to the door and looked out, it was getting dark, and he couldn't get back to the city today no matter what.

"What's going on with the Broken Vine Gorge Sacrifice Divine Peak? You're playing dead there, and you must know something. Hu Guiyang turned around and said, as long as He Million was telling the truth, he had nothing to worry about.

"Coming back from the dead in Broken Vine Gorge was the beginning of my conversion to the god of fire." He Million narrowed his eyes slightly, "The rebels in Broken Tengxia are actually mostly so-called 'homeless', who have lived in Guangxi for generations, and the anti-thieves are together, and it is unfavorable for the government to exterminate them in the early stage, and the homeless people are threatened, so they can only rebel together." ”

He Million sighed, as if he had participated in the rebellion, "In the end, a large number of officers and soldiers were killed, and the rebels and outcasts were no opponents, and on the Sacrifice God Peak, they held a ceremony to send thousands of boys and girls into the fairy world in exchange for help. ”

"They failed."

"Well, the immortals who have always been effective, but suddenly refused to give any response that day. There was a controversy between them, some said that the gods refused to help, some said that the gods would appear in a way that everyone did not expect, and before the result of the struggle was reached, the officers and soldiers attacked, and the boys and girls fell into the hands of the eunuchs. And I, under the guidance of a master, died first and then lived, and from then on, I finally understood that in addition to the Zhu family's world, there was another and larger world. ”

"But you're still in the capital."

"That's right, I used to just wander around the capital, but this time, I'm here for the world."

"Whose world?" Hu Guiyang began to understand He Million's routine.

He Million smiled slightly, "You are the descendant of the God of Fire, you should know sooner or later, Hu Gongzi took the initiative to come to the door today, presumably it is also the will of heaven, let's go meet some people later." ”

"Here we go again." Hu Guiyang was irritable, "What I'm looking for is a demon fox." ”

"Demon fox, the world, the court, brothers, the truth you want may be here."
