Chapter 37: Fire

The most central part of Wuxian City is the Moon Viewing Tower, there are six floors high, it is the most amazing is the top floor, the top floor is completely made of eight pieces of natural crystal stones, and what is more amazing is that there is no trace of splicing gaps between the crystals, the whole top floor is like a piece of natural crystal, it is very strange, and it looks like a full moon hanging on the roof of the building from a distance, pulling infinite brilliance.

Guanyue Tower is the most mysterious place in the whole city, the people in the city say that An Shice lives in this building, why do you say it? Because no one has ever seen An Shice, only heard that he lives in Guanyue Tower, but no one has ever seen him come out, there are only a few servants in and out of the Moon Viewing Tower, and all the people who come to see An Shice are also blocked out of the building, all rely on servants to send letters back and forth, and these servants are even more strange, except for An Shice's confession, nothing else will be said.

Su Buying freshened up and changed her clothes, when she came to the Moon Viewing Tower, it was already late at night, and she was the only one in the entire city who could enter and leave the building freely except for those servants. The building was a little dim, only four lights were lit on each floor, placed in four corners, Su Buying walked up the stairs to the sixth floor, and then pushed open the door, a breeze rushed in, and there was a strange fragrance in the air, and the vision instantly became wider.

Obviously in the house, but it is like being in the silent wilderness, looking up, it is not the roof with lanterns, but the night sky dotted with stars, a round of bright moon hanging in the sky, the bright moonlight falls on the green grass on the ground, this night is the same as what Su Buying saw outside the building, this is not an illusion, but a real night sky. Su Buying had long been accustomed to such a magical night, she took a few steps forward, and then knelt down,

"Father, I'm back. ”

The moonlight sprinkled from the night sky, and following the direction of the light, I saw An Shice lying on the high platform casually, it was obviously summer, but An Shice was wearing a pure white and flawless fox robe like white jade, which looked very warm, and the fox head was on his right shoulder,

Looking up in the moonlight, I saw An Shice's face, which was a very fair and young face, lined with his shiny white hair, making his whole person seem to be an ice sculpture polished by the moonlight, revealing a kind of indifference that makes people stay away, it is rumored that An Shice is an old man who has lived for more than a hundred years, but at this moment under the moonlight, he is at most twenty years old.

His eyes were closed, without any expression, but he could still feel that he was looking ahead, and then said:

"It's all done. ”

"Yes, Zhu Hai has been quietly placed in the Moon Viewing Tower, he is seriously injured and is still in a coma, but his life is saved. Que Qing and the others also received it in the city, and according to the intention of my father-in-law, I arranged for them to live in the mountains and listen to the wind. Su Buying told the truth, and sure enough, Zhu Hai was hiding in her sedan chair, so she sneaked into Wuxian City. Then taking advantage of the night, he quietly sent it into the moon viewing building.

"Do they suspect you?"

Su Buying was silent for a while, and then said, "Yang Ming seems to be a little suspicious of me, but the others don't. ”

"You're wrong, that man named Wu Jian has seen through your plan, and he has already deduced that I am secretly planning everything. ”

Su Buying raised her head, a little unable to hide her surprise, she had deceived many men, she had never missed, all men were confused by her beauty, but this time she was tricked by Wu Jian.

"You don't have to be depressed, that man named Wu Jian was originally a famous general of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Mo Qianyi, even Zhu Hai, who was a ghost of Yama, was defeated in his hands. ”

"Tiance Famous General?" repeated the legendary font number in his mouth.

Tiance famous general, Su Buying has only read about it in books. That is by the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty personally enshrined the famous generals, since the Emperor Taizu enshrined the first Tiance famous general, each dynasty Tiance famous generals will not exceed five people, Tiance famous generals symbolize not only honor, but also represent the highest combat power of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it is every dynasty has the protection of the famous generals of the Tiance, subduing the Quartet, the princes of all countries do not dare to have different intentions, protect the peace of the Great Zhou Dynasty for nearly a thousand years, and now the decline of the Great Zhou Dynasty is the reason why the name of the Tiance will be abolished.

Twelve years ago, one of the four famous generals of the Great Zhou Dynasty was executed and two were deposed, which directly led to the decline of the dynasty today.

"Just now I looked at Zhu Hai's past and saw his battle with Wu Jian, so I knew Wu Jian's true identity. An Shice closed his eyes peacefully from beginning to end and said.

"Fortunately, my father-in-law had the foresight to send me to pick up Zhu Hai in case of accidents. But Wu Jian turned out to be a famous general of Tiance, how could such a character come here, father-in-law, what should we do next?" Su Buying asked with some concern.

Although Zhu Hai was defeated, he smashed the blood into Wu Jian's body, and Wu Jian was already poisoned into his heart at this moment, and he could die at any time. It's not in vain that I specially gave Xueshenglan to Zhu Hai, he is indeed an excellent killer. An Shice said with some approval.

After hearing An Shice's words, Su Buying was shocked, she had seen the person who was hit by the blood born orchid, it was a strong man of the Eight Powers of the Moon Yao, but when his head was planted with the blood born orchid, he fell to the ground in pain in a moment, looking very hideous and terrifying, and then in less than half a burn of incense, he couldn't bear the pain of the blood born orchid taking root in his brain, and he actually cut off his head with a knife and died.

But Wu Jian endured the pain, and his face did not change along the way, such a tough man, Su Buying was the first time he had encountered it.

"Wu Jian is worthy of being a famous general of Tiance, and he can endure the pain of blood and orchid, but unfortunately, such a man is about to die. Su Buying said with some regret, she never hated strong men.

But An Shice disagreed, "I just calculated a hexagram, will Wu Jian die from the blood born of Lan?" But no matter how many times, the result I calculated is, no. ”

"This is impossible, people who have blood in their hearts will not survive. ”

An Shice smiled slightly, "You are still too young, there is nothing absolutely foolproof in this world, we can only take all the 'losses' into account as much as possible, and take precautions to be invincible." ”

Su Buying didn't refute, she knew that her father-in-law's words were right, and her father-in-law's eyes saw much farther than her, the past, and the future.

At that moment, the door opened, and a boy walked in with a bowl of blood-red liquid.

Su Buying calculated the time, it was time for her father-in-law to eat human blood.

An Shice had a habit of drinking a bowl of human blood every twelve hours.

Su Buying took the human blood handed by the boy and personally brought it to An Shice.

An Shice drank human blood, and the scarlet taste of blood smeared on the corners of his mouth, revealing a beauty like death.

An Shice took out three sachets from his arms and handed them to Su Buying, and then said: "I'm tired, my eyes have been used for too long in the past two days, I'm afraid I will have to rest for at least seven days to recover my pupil strength, and during my rest, you will act according to the plan in the bag." Also, in these seven days, you still have to send me fresh blood on time. ”

"My daughter understood. ”

Su Buying accepted the bags, and the word "strategy" was embroidered with red thread on each bag.

An Shice stopped talking, his appearance remained the same, but Su Buying knew that his father-in-law was asleep.

Witchcraft is very consuming of people's spiritual power, especially pre-contemplative witchcraft, the longer the time to peep into the past or the future, the more times, the longer the time span, the greater the spiritual consumption. Once, An Shice was the leader of Yama and predicted the national fortune of the Great Zhou Dynasty twenty years later, and that divination made An Shice's spirit almost exhausted, and he fell asleep for twenty-one days before waking up.

She retreated cautiously, and walked out of a distance of more than ten steps before Su Buying opened the first bag.

......

Yang Ming never thought that the night would be so long, and every second, his heart was tormented.

The five people were crowded in a room, not daring to disperse, it was already the second half of the night, but the five of them had no sleep, Wu Jian sat cross-legged on the bed, and the blood was still growing cruelly in his body, every moment, he was experiencing the pain of drilling his heart, and whenever he couldn't help it, he took a sip of wine. Xin'er and Lin Dong sat around the table with Que Qing, and everyone's nerves were tense to the extreme.

Yang Ming stood by the window, looking at the beads of sweat flowing from Wu Jian's forehead, but he couldn't do anything.

"Zu Ze, can't you do anything about it?"

Zu Ze floated in mid-air, the moonlight shining through his ethereal body, making it even more ethereal. Zu Ze sighed lightly and said,

"I'm not good at detoxification, all I can do is bless him. ”

Yang Ming snorted dissatisfied, like a disappointed child, who didn't get the gift he wanted from his elders, "You are a Linghui wizard, the strongest among wizards, and you can't even solve this bit of poison, it's really useless." ”

Indeed, Linghui wizards should be the strongest, and it is said that they are omnipotent, but since Zu Ze appeared, he has not shown any ability except for moving his mouth, and Yang Ming is now beginning to doubt Zu Ze's identity.

Hearing Yang Ming's complaint, Zu Ze only smiled bitterly.

At this time, there was a sudden commotion outside, breaking the silence of the night, like a little spark thrown into dry firewood, and there was a crackling quarrel in an instant.

"What's going on?"

Yang Ming looked out the window and saw a fiery red color rising in the night sky in the distance.

"It looks like it's on fire, and the direction should be in the center of the city. ”

Hearing this, Wu Jian's face changed greatly, and he immediately thought of the medicine tasting conference that would be held in the center of the city tomorrow, "It's not good, the city center is where tomorrow's medicine tasting conference will be held, if it's really on fire there, it's going to be troublesome." ”

After Wu Jian's point, everyone immediately sensed the seriousness of the situation.

"But it could also be a ploy by the enemy to divert us from the mountains, and they want to lure us out and disperse us. Xin'er raised her concerns.

Wu Jian pondered for a moment and said: "I don't think this fire is fake, Yang Ming, you go out and have a look, a few of us stay here, you must be careful alone, once the situation is found out, report quickly." ”

"Understood, I'll be careful. Yang Ming answered, and then walked out of the room alone, running in the direction of the firelight.

Along the winding path, Yang Ming took a lot of effort to come out and listen to the wind, he ignored the dissuasion of the shopkeeper, and walked directly onto the street, the street was very noisy, and people passing by were carrying water, or wooden barrels, or basins. Everybody, shouting,

"Oh no, it's on fire, Shennongtai is on fire. ”

Shennongtai is in the center of Wuxian City, ten zhang high, made of pure copper, extremely spectacular, and Wuxian City's annual medicine tasting conference is held on this platform, but now Shennongtai is on fire, this is the first time since the establishment of Wuxian City, there is a fire.

No one knows how the fire started, maybe because of the lanterns hanging on the stage, and by the time people noticed it, the fire was already burning and out of control.

Even if he was more than ten meters away, Yang Ming could still feel the scorching sensation generated by the fire, looking at such a raging fire, people buckets of water one after another, it was really a drop in the bucket, and Shennongtai was very high, and the water could not be splashed on the stage at all.

"The conference is going to be held tomorrow, but there is a fire tonight, which is really unlucky. ”

"Alas, I don't know how long this fire will burn, and it seems that the conference will not be held. ”

"No, I've been waiting for a year just for this medicine conference. ”

"Don't worry, the conference will still take place, but it should be postponed. ”

The sighs of people kept coming from the crowd, but no matter who it was, it couldn't compare to Yang Minglai's anxiety at the moment.

"This can't be postponed, Uncle and Mr. Que Qing don't have time to wait. Yang Ming clenched his fists, but what could he do.

At this time, Yang Ming saw the bucket on the ground that he didn't know who had thrown it, he quickly picked it up, he knew that it was just a humble power, but he couldn't stand his powerless self, even if it was insignificant, he wanted to do his part.

"Young master, calm down. Zu Ze stopped Yang Ming's footsteps, "You do this, it won't help at all." ”

"Then what do you say?" Yang Ming also knew very well that what he was doing now was the stupidest thing, but it was the only thing he could do.

Zu Ze smiled lightly and said calmly, "I think it's time for you to know how powerful the Linghui wizard is. ”

After that, Zu Ze's ethereal figure slowly rose, he folded his hands, and the starlight in the night sky illuminated his figure, producing strange reflections, which looked very ritualistic.

"When I am in the sky, my heart is born according to nature, and the rain is showering. ”

The sound is like a sound from outside the world, revealing an ethereal distantness, but the sound is close to the ear.

Stop, rain comes.

A drop of rain broke through the sky and fell on the boy's burning cheeks, and then the rain fell suddenly.

The pouring rain instantly covered the noise of the streets, and the only thing that could be discerned in the rain was the shouts of surprise from people.

"It's raining!"

Zu Ze slowly fell from mid-air, like a feather, but his ethereal appearance became more transparent, and a gust of wind might blow him away.

"You did this?" Yang Ming couldn't help but ask in surprise.

Zu Ze nodded, "Hasn't the young master always been curious about the power of the Linghui Wizard, let me tell you that the Linghui Wizard is a person who can manipulate the time and place and turn what he thinks into reality." ”
