Shen Yun left the back street from the small alley. On the rivers and lakes, there are various tracking methods, which are difficult to prevent. The monk's means must have been even more powerful, yes, although he was sure that there was no "tail" behind him, he did not dare to go home, but found an inconspicuous inn near the Temple of the Heavenly Emperor and stayed for the time being.

After settling down for a moment, he sat down in his room, lifted the teapot on the table, and poured himself a cup of hot tea.

There was a loud "bang", which shook the thick wooden floor under his feet several times, and the doors and windows buzzed even more. White lime and dust fell from the ceiling and on the four walls.

Shen Yun was defenseless and almost dropped the teapot in his hand.

It was an explosion comparable to the explosion of a hundred high-grade blasting charms at once!

"It's out of the water!"

"Run......"

Outside, the screams of people were incessant.

Shen Yun rushed to the window with an arrow step, gently opened the window a thin slit, and looked out through the slit.

His room was on the second floor, and there were several wooden buildings across the street that were taller and obscured his view. He could only see the smoke billowing from behind the Heavenly Emperor Temple, and open flames had already appeared. There were a lot of people running out of the street over there. They were dressed in disarray, and their faces and bodies were covered in blood, and they were fleeing for their lives. When the people on the street saw this, they scattered like birds and beasts, and none of them dared to go there to put out the fire.

Is it the fire set off by the fire troupe? Shen Yun looked at the direction of the smoke and speculated in his heart.

At this time, in the corridor outside, several guys were banging on the door of the room one by one, and kept shouting: "Guest officer, stay in the room, don't go out." There's a big mess out there!"

Soon, Shen Yun's room was also slapped.

"What's the matter?" he quickly opened the door.

The guy who knocked on the door was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said, "I don't know yet." The shopkeeper said that looking at the fire, it was an accident at the temple fair in the back street. Guest officer, it's a mess outside. The shop is closed, so please stay in the house for a while and don't go out. ”

The guest rooms next to it have also been opened. The tenants quarreled in the hallway:

"Oh, it's a big fire, it's not going to burn to us, is it?"

"Yes. ”

"Close the store, you won't be able to escape!"

......

"No, no. The guys waved their hands quickly to reassure everyone, "There are two streets apart, and there is a Temple of the Heavenly Emperor in the middle." The Taoist masters inside can call the wind and rain, and they can't burn the Temple of the Heavenly Emperor, and naturally they can't burn us here. ”

"I closed the door of the store because I was afraid of rushing in from the outside and taking advantage of the fire to rob them. ”

Hearing this, the tenants closed their mouths, entered the house, and closed the door. There was a sudden silence in the hallway. No, to be exact, the whole inn seemed to be asleep for a short time, silent.

Shen Yun also closed the door, walked to the window again, and looked out through the crack.

The fire is getting bigger and bigger. Across the two streets, you can also hear the sound of "whirring" fire.

However, the street market that used to be bustling with people below has quieted down - no one has escaped from the direction of the Heavenly Emperor Temple. And the street here is also closed, and there is no one to be seen. The streets are empty, and the land is in shambles.

After more than a quarter of an hour, the immortal rune soldiers of the brigade and the officials of the immortal mansion poured into the streets below like a tide.

"Street ban! Street ban ......" Several officials shouted while banging gongs.

Except for a team of immortal rune soldiers who stayed behind to guard the street entrance, most of them went to the Heavenly Emperor Temple.

Nearly half an hour later, Shen Yun finally heard someone on the side of the Heavenly Emperor Temple shouting at the top of his voice, "Fight the fire!"

It didn't take long for the light to shine over there, and rain and water runes rose one after another in the thick smoke. "Bang bang bang ......" from time to time is also mixed with the sound of low-grade blasting charms.

The sky-high black smoke was suppressed. After a while, the choking smell of fireworks wrapped in water wafted from the cracks.

The fire was contained.

Shen Yun breathed a sigh of relief and closed the doors and windows. Now, he was very glad that the Four Seas Incense and Candle Shop had made such a fuss, so that he and Qi Bo and they had left the back street early.

After noon, it began to rain lightly outside. The rainwater is gray-black, falling on the snow-covered streets, and merging with the melted snow into small gray ditches. The joy of the New Year's festival is also the same as this street, which is painted to a mess.

The ban was not lifted until noon the next day.

During this period, two guys from the inn came up lightly with food boxes and delivered two meals to the guests on the second floor.

Every meal is a white flour steamed bun and a small bowl of egg drop soup stuffed with wine. And it was cold, without a hint of heat.

"I'm sorry, but no one expected such a big mess. No fires are allowed in the streets, and that's all that's left in the kitchen. They lowered their voices and explained to the guests from room to room.

No one complained. First, the outside street is forbidden. Didn't you see that the guys were walking like rats, for fear of making some noise? Besides, it wasn't the shopkeeper's fault. At this time, the store can take out the stutter, which is already very benevolent.

Shen Yun took the food and asked the two guys in a low voice: "Do you know what's going on over there in the Heavenly Emperor Temple?"

One of the guys replied, "There are several injured guests in the medical hall next door. They all say things differently. Some say that the back temple of the Temple of the Heavenly Emperor suddenly blew up, and some say that there was a fire in the back street. However, according to them, they were fast on their legs and ran out first. There are a lot of people in the back, and it is estimated that a few of them did not make it out. ”

Another guy sighed and shook his head: "It's too unlucky for the New Year." Grandpa the Emperor blesses, this year will be good for the wind and rain. ”

At noon the next day, several officials sounded gongs along the street and announced: "The street ban has been lifted! The street ban has been lifted......

Shen Yun opened the door. Other tenants also came out of the house.

"It's all right!"

"Scared the hell out of me!"

"I thought we were the only ones making trouble. I didn't expect the Immortal Emperor to be much better at his feet......"

"Shhh ”

"Yes, yes, yes! What Brother Tai said is extremely true. ”

For the rest of their lives after the disaster, everyone's faces were happy again, and they went downstairs with a smile.

The door was open, and the tenants, who had been hungry for almost a day, sat in the lobby and asked the shopkeeper and the hall runners for a hot meal.

"Hurry up, bring a bowl of hot soup first......"

"Starving!"

The shopkeeper couldn't stop nodding: "Okay, wait a minute." There was already a fire in the kitchen, and the meat and noodles were ready-made, so I told them to cook a bowl of noodle broth for everyone first. ”

There are also people who pull the running guys to inquire about yesterday.

Anyway, the meal hadn't come up yet, and the guy was happy to gossip with everyone: "I heard that it's a rebel." A gang of rebels pretended to be a juggler troupe and infiltrated a temple fair in the backstreet. When there were more spectators gathered around, they suddenly killed people and set fires......"

When people heard this, their complexion changed: "Ahhhh

"Traitor, if you are not cruel, you can be called a traitor?"

Shen Yun didn't believe it - he practiced "flying flowers and willows" all year round, so he was good at listening to sound and distinguishing position. The loud explosion was clearly coming from the Temple of the Heavenly Emperor, not from the street corner on the right back.

However, in retrospect, his instincts were right. That group of jugglers is indeed no ordinary charlatan.
