Although the fire was no longer moving forward, it was still burning violently, and the billowing heat wave and thick black smoke choked Liang Yehan's dizziness and made him unable to open his eyes. She knew that even if the fire couldn't burn, it wouldn't be long before the smoke and high temperature around her would take her and Zhao Niantong's lives.
Now, Liang Yehan had no choice but to hug Zhao Niantong tightly, cover her mouth and nose with clothes to avoid being burned by the heat, and he faced the side of the pillar, relying on the natural coldness of the Lingbi stone to block the heat wave. It's just that it didn't take long for the stone pillar in front of him to be roasted by the fire, and Liang Yehan had to use his last strength to take off his coat and put it on the stone pillar, and fainted half-leaning and half-leaning.
I don't know how long it took, but in a trance, I heard someone say, "Fire ring? There must be someone here...... Ye Han?!Is that you?Great, finally found!"
Liang Yehan answered in a daze, feeling that he was being gently picked up, but he still couldn't let go of Zhao Niantong in his heart, and subconsciously called her name. Come and say, "Okay...... Take her with you. β
When I opened my eyes again, I was already lying on a large bed with carved phoenix tails on solid wood, and a wisp of sandalwood lingered at the head of the bed. Looking to the right-hand side, Zhao Niantong was lying on another big bed, his face was dark, his eyes were closed, and he had not yet woken up.
Liang Yehan was shocked when he saw it, and hurriedly sat up from the bed and looked at Zhao Niantong's expression. People who die in the fire often have a black face due to inhaling a large amount of smoke, and Zhao Niantong's face is like this, he is only afraid that there will be more luck than lucky.
After a careful inspection, Liang Yehan put his mind at ease, it turned out that Zhao Niantong's face was only smeared with black ointment, and he touched his face casually, sure enough, this ointment smelled slightly, presumably containing comfrey, rehmannia and other herbs for treating burns.
Seeing that he and Nian Tong were out of danger, Liang Yehan let out a sigh of relief, Fang felt that his whole body was sore, he could no longer sit still, and fell into a deep sleep on the bed.
"Senior sister...... Senior sister ...... "When I was half asleep, I heard someone calling, and when I opened my eyes, I saw that Nian Tong was looking at herself with a big black face.
"Senior sister, are you awake?" Nian Tong said lightly and with a smile. Liang Yehan just nodded, and Zhao Niantong immediately brought a bowl of steaming hibiscus pomfret porridge to his mouth, afraid that the porridge would be too hot, and blew it hard.
Liang Yehan smiled and said, "Niantong, do you have something to ask me?"
When Zhao Niantong heard this, he feigned anger and said: "Senior sister, do you see what you said?!You are my life-saving benefactor, is there anything wrong with me serving a bowl of porridge for my benefactor? Is it true that I am such a utilitarian person in your heart?"
"This ...... Niantong, you misunderstood, I just said that, I don't mean anything else, don't take it to heart. β
Zhao Niantong turned his anger into joy and said: "Senior sister, I'm joking with you too!" But I really want to thank you, if it wasn't for your efforts to stop the fire, I would have been buried in the fire by now, and you also successfully saved me from the fire, I really don't know how to thank you." β
Liang Yehan waved his hand and said: "Why should the fellow disciples and sisters be so polite, I only know a little about the art of fire resistance, in other words, you believe that you will do the same." Besides, it wasn't me who saved you from the fire, but someone else. β
"Oh, I passed out and don't know who got us out. If it weren't for Senior Sister, would anyone else know how to fix fire?"
"Of course, my fire fixing technique is not self-realizing, it is naturally taught by others. Therefore, there are many people who know this spell, such as my master and Senior Brother Wanji......"
"What? Li Wanji will too?! How could his wooden fish brain be so profound?"
Liang Yehan was about to answer, when he heard someone outside the door say, "What spell can't I learn?" Zhao Niantong, you can't help but underestimate me, right?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the door opened, and a man of medium stature entered, dressed in a red robe, with a long sword straddling his waist.
"Senior Brother Wanji, is it really you? I should have thought that you must have saved us. β
The man in red smiled and said, "Ye Han, how do you know it's going to be me?"
Liang Yehan said: "The people who can save us in such a fierce fire, except for the master and his old man, only you can do it in the world." β
Li Wanji waved his hand and said: "Senior sister, you really exalt me, just like our red-clothed first disciple said, I am a wooden fish brain, but I don't know the kind of spell you said." β
Liang Yehan said: "Senior brother, Senior Sister Niantong is joking with you, you are her life-saving benefactor, it's too late for her to thank you!"
Li Wanji said disdainfully: "Don't dare, don't dare." I'm just a red-clothed disciple, how dare I claim to be the life-saving benefactor of the red-clothed first disciple?! According to the palace law, this is a serious crime committed below, and I will be punished with a rod at the worst, and I will be expelled from the sect at the worst. β
Zhao Niantong laughed and said: "Even if you know each other, since you know the rules so well, I won't cure you." β
Li Wanji snorted and said, "You are just a red-clothed disciple, what qualifications do you have to punish me?"
Zhao Niantong said: "Although I can't cure you, I can report your words and deeds to the master and see if he can clean up the old man!"
Li Wanji sneered: "Elder Houtu, I guess he doesn't have the heart to care about your idle business, and now he himself is a mud bodhisattva crossing the riverβit's hard to protect himself." β
Zhao Niantong said angrily: "What do you mean? You dare to slander the elders in the palace? It seems that you can't get rid of the charges you have committed in the following crimes." β
Li Wanji said: "It seems that you don't know anything." Ye Han, did you say it or did I say it?"
"This ...... Okay, I'll say it. Niantong, in fact, I lied to you. β
Zhao Niantong was confused and asked, "Senior sister, what are you talking about?"
"That's what I lied to you...... Actually, I don't know how to set fire at all!"
"What?" It was not only Zhao Niantong who was surprised, but also Li Wanji's eyes widened.
"Remember when I drew a circle on the ground with my sword? β
"Fire Belt?!"
"Yes. I dug out the dirt around the circle with my sword, and formed a trench where the fire burned and it would sink into the trench, and it would not be able to spread, and it looked like I had frozen it, and now you know? There is no such thing as fixation. I'm sorry I lied to you. β
"What if...... If so...... So how did we get out of the fire?"
"I'll leave it to me. Li Wanji said, "It is indeed me who rescued you." Although Zhao Niantong you may not want to admit it, this is the truth. Frankly tell you, if it weren't for Ye Han still talking about you when he was in a coma, I really wouldn't want to save you! So I don't expect you to receive my life-saving kindness, I want to thank you Ye Han well. β
