Volume 1: Night Shines on Kyushu Fifty: Inexplicable Shadows

For a moment, Qiu Shaohu only felt suspicious, and a series of things related to his arrival at Chaomen had even a shadow passing through his heart.

Why did he just come to Chaomen, and the Lingchuan Sect happened to have an accident?

What exactly are you looking for in a resting place?

And Lingdi, how did he die? How did he happen to die at the moment when he left?

Now Zhenkang Shrine, this hidden temple that almost never comes out in the far far north, why did it also send people to Zhaoguo? What do they really want?

Is all this just a coincidence?

Even if you want to convince yourself like this, you can't do it at all.

The beginning of the fateful journey is like a dark cloud in the sky, when you see a dark corner in the distance, it indicates that the rainstorm is approaching step by step.

Only fate is unpredictable, Qiu Shaohu feels that he has been inadvertently woven into a big net, unpredictable.

Everything was only in an instant, but after thinking so much, I finally had an oversight.

Seeing a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, the black-faced man immediately took the road and fled.

"Where to run!" A businessman next to him shouted, his surname is Qian Minghan, he is a timber seller on West Street, and he just heard that Sun Congtian was coming, so he also came to see the excitement, but he didn't want to be involved in this unwarranted disaster, and he was already indignant in his heart. In addition, he was thrown out like a ball by the black-faced man just now, and he was even more resentful of him.

This time, seeing that the other party was finally deflated, he actually turned around and wanted to leave, in his opinion, how could there be such an easy reason, so he immediately stepped forward to stop it.

"Get out of here!" The black-faced man was also annoyed when he saw that these arrested "meat tickets" were so ignorant, and he also overturned the other party at the moment when Qian Han rushed over, stepped on the momentum, and kicked off one of Qian Han's calves.

Qian Han immediately let out a miserable scream, and then was held hostage by the black-faced man and quickly retreated to the back.

In the fight just now, the canal had already been opened, and the black-faced man pinched Qian Han, walked to the side of the canal at this time, and took out a fire fold against the strong sulfur gas inside, threatening Qiu Shaohu and saying:

"If you dare to take one step further, we will all end up together!"

The businessmen next to him were indignant and scolded the black-faced man for his shamelessness, but no one dared to act rashly.

Qiu Shaohu's face sank like water, thinking about countermeasures.

Suddenly, he keenly felt that there was something strange trembling under the earth.

……

The brilliance of the eruption of the whole body of the dust expanded again from a range of several feet, and the dazzling light brought a heat wave rolling, so that people could only avoid its edge.

Sun Congtian was held hostage by those people, and this time he was naturally in the impact. Subconsciously, he wanted to cover the dazzling glare with his hands. The moment the palms touched, I realized that for some reason, I didn't feel burning at all.

Before he could change his mind, Sun Congtian only felt that he had been pulled over all of a sudden, and his feet were vain, and when he looked at the other party again, he was covered with dust.

Meng Chen's time was deliberate, and seeing that the other party had been holding this noble son hostage, he bluffed and wanted to save him first.

Afraid that the former officials would take advantage of the situation to fight back, Meng Chen also made a perfect plan. Unexpectedly, Sun Congtian suddenly pounced directly, the speed was so fast that he was simply pushed over, and he was also caught off guard, and many of the subsequent moves were completely useless.

Meng Chen could only take a step back and catch the other party. The moment he grabbed Sun Congtian's body, he felt that something was wrong.

Sure enough, when he pinched his vital point, he only felt that Sun Congtian's whole body was paralyzed, and his internal organs and meridians were all shattered. Only then did he look up and see his face, Sun Congtian had already bled from seven holes, and his death was miserable.

"An dare!" Meng Chen was extremely angry, he thought that since the other party had taken him hostage, he would at least care about Sun Congtian's life, but he didn't want those people to treat human life like a mustard at all!

"Split up!" The original official suddenly whispered to the others. This former official was originally the commander of these dozen Zhenkang Divine Palace disciples, and when they heard the order, they immediately scattered and left, disappearing in the huge warehouse full of obstacles.

Where is Meng Chen, who is willing to let the other party leave easily, and let go of Sun Congtian's body, he will catch up.

"Be careful!" The original official deliberately shouted, and a flash of fire struck towards the dust. Dusty blocked it easily, and a flame was no different from a small flame in his eyes, and there was no threat at all.

However, when he saw the other party's face, he had an expression that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

The Divine Consciousness had a premonition that something bad was going to happen.

"Boom!" The brimstone hidden in the ground was ignited by scattered sparks, and in a matter of moments, the entire warehouse was in flames.

The flames of sulfur were bright and yellow, not only with bone-eroding heat, but also with thick black smoke, which instantly obscured all senses and made the originally clear scene difficult to see.

Under the cover of this blazing flame, the original official quietly left.

"Hugh away!" In addition to being furious, he also ignored his ordinary and quiet "calm" cultivation method, forcibly rushed away from the flames, and chased after him.

……

The tremors in the ground intensified, including Qiu Shaohu, and everyone present could feel the slight undulation of the bricks and stones under their feet like ocean waves.

The black-faced man standing by the canal felt even more intense, as if a swimming dragon was coming quickly towards him in the direction of the canal.

He was amazed at the sulfur that had stopped flowing at an accelerated pace in the canal, and subconsciously leaned his head over to see it clearly.

"Boom!" The flames rose from the canal, instantly enveloping the black-faced man's body, and he was directly overturned into the sky in his screams.

The underground fires overflowed, like fireworks everywhere, and once the sparks flew out, they spread rapidly, and there was no time to extinguish them. The flames turned into walls of fire, filling every corner in the blink of an eye, enveloping everyone in clusters, and there was no escape.

The kidnapped Qian Han was also affected by the edge of the flames, and at this time he fell to the side, screaming miserably. The surrounding merchants hurried to rescue him, but saw that his entire arm was scorched, and he was helpless for a while.

Qiu Shaohu stepped forward quickly and cut off his arm, and Qian Han screamed and fainted.

Seeing the stunned businessman next to him, Qiu Shaohu said calmly: "Hurry up and stop the bleeding for him!" His arm can't be saved, and if he doesn't cut off half of his body quickly, it will rot. The rest of the people immediately retreated to the side room, and I left the rest to figure out what to do. ”

"Retreat into the house and avoid these fires?" Some businessmen were in disbelief.

"You can not listen to me, if you want to be like that!"

Qiu Shaohu pointed at the black-faced man who had fallen to the ground again, he was swept into the air by the flames, and after falling, he had been completely burned to charcoal.

The merchants in the four corners felt a sudden shock in their hearts, and they all retreated towards the room behind them. Several people set up Qian Han and followed behind.

After Qiu Shaohu waited for them to walk in, he closed half of the door with one hand, and said to them at the door: "No matter what happens for a while, don't pay attention to it, someone will come to save you in the end!" ”

After saying that, close the door with your hand, and don't forget to lock it.

Then, even if the businessmen inside beat it repeatedly, it didn't matter. Taking a few steps back, Qiu Shaohu estimated his location, took out a few red sun talismans in the sea of fire, and threw them towards the ground around the room.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" With a few loud bangs, the Red Sun Fu ignited the nearby sulfur that had not yet been burned, and the foundation that originally supported the tunnel under the ground was completely blown off, and the entire house sank into the ground, only the eaves were still exposed.

Nothing is better than earth to keep out the flames, the tiles on the eaves may prevent the fire from burning from above, and those who stay inside are temporarily buried alive for a while, but they can definitely support outsiders to find them.

The smoke mixed with the high temperature burned the facial features, and the unique pungent smell of sulfur turned into poisonous smoke, which made people's mouths and noses almost burned.

Qiu Shaohu covered his mouth and nose with his hands and coughed continuously, the wolf skin was inviolable, but he couldn't isolate the smoke after all. Taking out the pre-configured antidote pill and swallowing it, Qiu Shaohu walked to the entrance and exit of the tunnel he found at the beginning, lifted the floor tiles again, and jumped down.

Half of the tunnel below has collapsed, and it can barely get through. However, although the flames had not yet reached this point, the smoke filled the entire pathway, and he could only endure the discomfort to move forward.

He's not just trying to find his way, he's finding his way back to the previous dungeon. It was there that Sun Congtian was finally taken away, and he still remembered that it was also in the place where Sun Congtian was originally imprisoned that a person appeared with those books of spiritual truth.

It stands to reason that the subordinates of Zhenkang Shrine will also hand over such important things to people of higher status for safekeeping. Since his status is higher, Sun Congtian, who is more important in escorting, should also be the same person.

If you find him, you will not only be able to find Sun Congtian, but also those books back.

Groping all the way back to the dungeon, it was empty. According to the direction of the other road, Qiu Shaohu was even more cautious, after all, he had not walked here, and no one knew what would appear.

This tunnel is a one-way street, and it does not fork until the end. Qiu Shaohu saw that there was also a faint exit on it that was blocked by floor tiles, and stepped forward to try to push it away. The moment he touched it, the scorching heat came immediately, and he realized that there was already a raging fire outside.

I pushed it with the burning heat, but I didn't move, something should be blocking it outside. Qiu Shaohu hooked the edge with the flying claws of the trap box behind him, used the machine to exert force, and then stretched the Yanling knife into the gap and kept prying, and finally pried open a small hole for one person to pass through.

Qiu Shaohu propped up the Yanling knife there to avoid the exit suddenly collapsing, and cautiously leaned out. The fire here burned significantly earlier, leaving behind black ashes underground, and the flames in the distance tended to be extinguished.

He had mixed red ochre powder with sulfur before, which still reduced the intensity of the flame to a certain extent.

"Whoa!" Not long after he stood still, the tunnel exit behind him completely collapsed, and even the Yanling knife was buried underneath.

The flames around him were getting smaller, and perhaps because of proper storage, most of the goods in the warehouse were still intact. Qiu Shaohu searched all the way along the road, and soon saw a man who fell to the ground.

Hurried over and found that it was Sun Congtian himself. Checking his pulse with his hand, he found that he had already lost his breath.

"What the hell is going on?" Qiu Shaohu pondered, "There is such a strong mana residue here, it is not surprising that there are masters in Zhenkang Divine Palace here, but who is the other person?" ”

While thinking about it, Qiu Shaohu heard the sound of gradually extinguishing flames, the sound of brick walls toppling, and many shouts and footsteps rushing in.

It seems that the man who caress the god has rushed in through the fire.

Qiu Shaohu thought about leaving quickly, and got involved with Fu Shendu again, in case he encountered Cheng Xiang first, it would be a bad thing.

Thinking like this, when he turned around to leave, Qiu Shaohu found something beside Sun Congtian's body.

It was a few books that had accidentally fallen to the ground.

It was like a rope catching his gaze, and he stared at the ground, barely believing his eyes.

After so much effort, these things appeared in front of me in a blink of an eye, and it was a little unbelievable.

Qiu Shaohu immediately walked over and picked it up.

"Hey, hey! So you're here! ”

The moment before touching the page, Qiu Shaohu heard a familiar voice, turned his head and saw Zhou Fuyun still wearing his previous clothes and the fish scale armor he gave him, panting and hurrying towards this side.

Seeing the other party, Zhou Fuyun was obviously a little excited, "You were here, I finally brought the rescuers, but I couldn't find you everywhere, I thought it was ......"

"I'm fine, the captured merchants are buried in the ground on the other side, hurry up and rescue them." Qiu Shaohu didn't listen to the other party's expression of emotion, and just thought about leaving immediately.

"It's okay, Fu Shendu has already brought people over, the things you gave me are really useful, as soon as they saw it, they immediately rushed over." Zhou Fuyun saw that the other party seemed to be deliberately covering something in his hand, and he was a little strange, so he asked, "...... you?"

Zhou Fuyun suddenly stopped talking.

Because I felt something was wrong.

At some point, the wind all around me suddenly stopped.

Even all the flames burned quietly in place as if they were still, no longer trembling.

It's like all the air currents are evacuated in an instant, leaving only an absolute realm, unchanged for eternity.

Qiu Shaohu could naturally feel that something was wrong, he looked around, and a sense of extreme crisis swept through his heart.

In a word, he involuntarily surged into his heart, making the blood flow full of coolness - it was the chaos when there was suddenly no wind, the vitality was reversed, and the Tai was reversed, and it was a big murderer!

At the bottom of the surrounding flames, a trace of black spread upwards.

"Caracal?" Qiu Shaohu thought of something tricky, and immediately yelled at Zhou Fuyun: "Get down!" ”

Also at the same moment, blazing light and heat overwhelmed them.

Black flames swept from all directions, rolling like a tidal wave, engulfing the entire street in an instant.

Also submerged was a sentence that Qiu Shaohu didn't have time to say.

"The caracal stone, doped with sulfur, ignites when it encounters fire, the flame is black, and the boulders in the aftermath of the explosion are all powdered. It's hard to preserve. ”

This is one of the things mentioned in the Dan Sutra in the introduction of incendiary objects.

There was an earth-shattering tremor, followed by silence.
