Chapter 496: There are monsters in the depths of the prison
Li Mu, Yi Fan and Jiang Chengxue hurriedly drove the carriage to the Criminal Department. Because of Li Mu's impatience, Pei Miao, who was driving, could only speed up. The horse's hooves struck the stone slab with a crisp sound. The sound was like a drumbeat, and it became shorter and shorter under the whipping of Pei Miao's horsewhip.
Li Mu lifted the curtain and looked in the direction where the smoke was rising, his heart was full of anxiety. Originally, I looked at the earthquake square in the east, and it was not clear how the fire was going. But now it is almost a mile away from the Criminal Department, and the black smoke is afraid that it is already three or four feet wide, and the smell of smoke spreads in all directions, mixed with ashes, and hits people's faces. If you look closely, you can still see a little spark in the black smoke, mixed in the black smoke.
This is enough to show that the fire has started and is very fierce.
The streets around the Punishment Department were already in chaos. After getting out of the carriage, Li Mu raised his eyes and looked into the distance, and could clearly see the orange flames, surrounding the entire criminal compound, burning extremely happily. Fleeing, fighting fires, crying, wailing, all kinds of voices gathered together and reached Li Mu's ears.
"Wow, why is the fire so big?" Yi Fan looked at the fire in front of him and muttered.
On the long street to his left, the firefighters took out the water cannon, one end was connected to the well, the other end was lifted by three or four men, and the back end was connected to a lever for pumping water, and two sturdy men pressed down back and forth, pumped water from the well, and shot it into the fire.
The area where the criminal department is located is mostly public. In order to prevent fires, or to extinguish them quickly after they start, fire brigades are always available, and there is more than one large-scale fire extinguishing device such as water cannon. As far as Yi Fan can see, there are at least three. But even with such a continuous pumping of water to extinguish the fire, plus the other people who used barrels and basins to fight the fire, there was no way to deal with the fire.
Yi Fan sniffed carefully, but unfortunately now the scorching heat is coming to his face, and he can't distinguish any smell. "The fire can burn to this size in such a short period of time! Yi Fan frowned, "But who is so bold as to dare to come to the Criminal Department to set fire?"
"I'm afraid I'm going to take advantage of the chaos to rob the prison. It's okay to be in the prison of the Criminal Department, but in the depths of the Jianghu Prison, there are still a few old monsters locked up. Jiang Chengxue said to Yi Fan.
"Old monster?" Yi Fan was even more surprised. "What monster?"
Jiang Chengxue choked on the smoke and coughed, "I don't know the specifics." This is confidential, and I also heard about it from Dean Gu by chance. ”
"If that's the case......" Yi Fan thought of something, he wanted to tell Li Mu, but Li Mu was worried about Shen Li, and he didn't have the heart to think about it at all.
"What about the people in the prison, did they come out?" Li Mu pulled a catcher who escaped from the criminal department, and the catcher's face was burned with black ashes, and he was very embarrassed.
The catcher gasped and said, "The fire started too fast, and there was no time to evacuate the people in the prison. ”
"What about the Jianghu Division, what about the prison of the Jianghu Division?" Li Mu pulled him and subconsciously shook his arm.
He shook his arm and said, "How do I know this?"
Li Mu was stunned and watched the catcher run out, he turned his head to look at the flames, and his heart was ruthless. "Yi Fan, Bei Miao, the two of you are waiting here, and in addition, take care of Miss Jiang. I went in to find Shen Li. ”
"I'll go with you!" Yi Fan said without thinking. Bei Miao followed Yi Fan and said, "I'll be with me, help, I can help." ”
Li Mu stretched out his hand, "Yi Fan, listen to me." Now the situation is not optimistic, I don't know if Shen Li escaped, I'll go in and take a look. In case she's already out, you can just find her. Only you and I know her, so you're the best outside. ”
"I recognize it, too. Jiang Chengxue interjected at the right time.
"Thank you, I appreciate the kindness. Li Mu glanced at her, turned around and jumped, and rushed into the fire.
The true qi was released and the whole body was protected, and Li Mu rushed into the fire. The scorching heat immediately enveloped him, and the true qi could hardly isolate the temperature, so Li Mu could only grit his teeth and rush forward. The fire was filled with blinding firelight and all kinds of smoke.
In order to visit Shen Li, Li Mu has been to Jianghu Division many times, even if he is in the fire, he will not lose his direction. He walked towards the entrance of the Jianghu Division Prison, and the room next to it was already very burned, and only the beams were still burning. Li Mu took a deep breath and jumped into the compound of the Jianghu Division.
As soon as he stepped into the Jianghu Division compound, Li Mu was taken aback.
Because the compound was full of corpses, lying on the ground. The ground was covered with blood, which had congealed into a freeze in the heat and looked even bloodier. Several bodies were thrown into the fire, already squeaking from the fire.
In the Grandmaster Hall, there have always been left-behind yellow, Xuan, and even ground-numbered grandmasters, and they are often hidden in the dark. Even if someone attacked, the casualties should not be so heavy.
This is unreasonable, but what is even more bizarre is that there is no flame at the entrance to the prison, which is incompatible with the surrounding flames.
Li Mu secretly said that it was not good, stretched out his hand and pulled out the thunder sword, and was on guard.
As soon as he drew his sword, Li Mu saw a figure walking out of the prison. The figure walked very easily, and when that face appeared in front of Li Mu's eyes, Li Mu was stunned. Because of that face, he was familiar. It can be said that he is also the one who Li Mu sent to prison lightly.
The doorman of the Dongshan County Palace, the third palace of the Song Emperor in the Ten Palaces of Yama - Song Di.
Song Di was also slightly surprised when he saw Li Mu. "Ah, I didn't expect you to be here. Li Mu. ”
Li Mu's mind swirled and asked, "You actually escaped?"
"yes. If you don't escape, will you wait to die inside?" another voice sounded, and a blood-stained spear came into view. It was a gun full of dragons. Li Mu recognized this gun, because this gun had chased and killed him under the moon, so Li Mu was impressed. "Are you...... Bessi!"
"No, no, no, in the second hall of the lower ten halls of Yama, the king of Chu Jiang - the general of Chu. Chu Jiang had a sly smile on his face, "Bexi is what I said casually, of course, it's true to kill you." He carried a gun in one hand, and the tip of the gun was pointed directly at Li Mu. He did not hide his murderous aura in the slightest.
"I see, you are also a member of the Ten Palaces of Yama. Li Mu clenched the thunder sword, "What are you doing here?"
Song Di stretched out his hand to stop General Chu, "Don't worry about it." Today, I have something important to do, so leave this person to the group of ghosts below. ”
"That's right. Another man came out of the prison, the man was of medium size, and he walked step by step, and it felt like a dragon and a tiger, full of domineering.
He stood between Song Di and Chu Jiang, and Li Mu's pupils suddenly shrank.
This man was holding a man in his hands, and the man was motionless, not knowing whether he was alive or dead. "Shen Li?" Li Mu's eyes widened, and he drew his sword and rushed over. "Put her down!"
The Thunder Sword stabbed at the man, and then, stabbed at the tip of Qianqiuyue's spear.
"Ding. General Chu came out with a gun and rushed straight at Li Mu. The two immediately became entangled.
"Song Di, let's go. The man beckoned to Song Di. With Song Dizhi's stubbornness, he didn't even care about the fact that he was calling and drinking to himself.
Song Di pointed to Shen Li in his hand and said, "Qin Guang, is this what you mean or what the Bodhisattva means?"
Qin Guang in his mouth glanced at Song Di and snorted coldly, "What's the difference? You Song San is far behind. Let's go. You yourself have said that today is a big event, and if you miss a big event, I can't protect you. ”
Song Di's face trembled, "Who wants you to protect it?" Then what did that Li Mu say?
"No, I don't have to. Qin Guang pointed to the prison behind him, "There is a group of monsters there who have not seen the light of day for many years, waiting to eat meat." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, a series of chains dragged on the ground came.
"Bang bang. ”
