Volume 2 The Beginning and End of the Martial Arts League Chapter 118 The Great Fire
1.
I nudged Satsuki gently.
She slept deeply, as if she hadn't slept in a long time. Looking at her appearance, I couldn't bear to disturb her, so I helped her body and gently leaned her against the jade platform protruding from the roof.
Satsuki, you sleep. I'll leave it all to me, and when you open your eyes again, it'll be over.
Thinking so, I climbed through the patio into the Red Sleeve Pavilion.
At this time, Su Hongsleeve and the others had long since disappeared. The entire third floor of the Red Sleeve Pavilion was empty. The noisy bidding in the hall downstairs is still heard. The men were almost frantically tearing and shouting, and the price of the inky redemption had reached five thousand taels.
Bidding to this extent. Mo Xiang is no longer important, in fact, what is more important is the dignitaries and dignitaries who participated in the bidding, for them, at this time, it is not only a competition for Mo Xiang, but also a battle for face.
I casually entered a room, an empty room, and the crimson gauze tent hung from the eaves to the ground, stacking on top of each other, making the atmosphere seem foggy.
However, this misty atmosphere created excellent conditions for me to light the fire.
I took a deep breath as the red light from the fire fold illuminated the crimson tent.
Fire, for me, is a painful memory. It will invisibly pull my mind back to the Yandang Mountain that night was full of fire.
However, at this moment, I need a fire to ignite all this, and completely drive away Li Tongdao and the spectators who surrounded the Red Sleeve Pavilion.
The fire was lit as I wished.
I couldn't help but laugh as I watched the smoke rise from the crimson gauze tent.
A genius's stratagem!
2.
By the time I climbed from the patio to the roof, smoke had filled the hallway of the third floor. The acrid smoke poured out of the patio, and I sat next to Satsuki, who frowned slightly, her nose moved slightly, and suddenly opened her eyes.
"What's wrong?!" Satsuki watched in horror as smoke rose from the patio.
I smiled proudly and said, "Soon! Soon Li Tongdao will run out of the Red Sleeve Pavilion!"
Satsuki stared at me intently and asked, "You put the fire?"
Is she adoring me?
She should worship me. Such a genius idea saves us a lot of useless waiting.
Satsuki threw a punch down on my chest, and although it wasn't heavy, it was just the right way to express her anger. She shouted: "Ji Danbing, are you stupid? The fire goes up, and before the people downstairs notice, we have already been burned to death!"
When she said this, I did feel like a few green tiles under my ass were a little hotter than when I left.
I panicked and asked, "What are we going to do?"
Xiao Yue stood up, she frowned and looked into the distance, and said, "Wait for death!"
Is it just dead?
I was not killed by the killers on the rivers and lakes, but I was burned to death by a fire I set myself. I feel even more remorseful
Yes, I killed Satsuki.
Suddenly, the mouth of the patio turned red, and a tongue of fire erupted from the thick smoke, spewing out several feet high.
I hurriedly hugged Satsuki, full of guilt, and said, "I'm sorry, Satsuki, I hurt you." ”
Satsuki pushed my hand away, squeezed a roll of her eyes at me, and said, "What's the use of talking about this." Let's find a way to go. ”
This building is about seven or eight zhang high, jump down directly, with light skills, although it will not be crushed, but there is also a great possibility of falling into pieces. In short, it is a dead end.
Look at both sides again. The Red Sleeve Pavilion is built very arrogantly, not connected to the buildings on the left and right, and there is an alley three or four feet wide in the middle. Wanting to cross over, it doesn't seem to be difficult for Satsuki.
But for me, it's even harder.
I pulled Satsuki to the side of the roof and said, "Leave me alone, you can jump over." ”
Xiao Yue's bright eyes suddenly flickered when she looked at me, and she asked, "I'm leaving, what are you going to do?"
I said, "You don't have to worry about me. ”
Satsuki took my arm, she smiled softly and said, "Let's go together, I'll take you over." ”
No!
If she passes alone, it will be a life. If she takes me with her, it's nine deaths. I must not put Satsuki in danger. I pushed Satsuki's hand away and said, "As long as you live, I don't care about anything else." ”
Xiao Yue's gaze was a little stunned, she looked at me, and her eyes suddenly turned red. She said, "Can you even risk your life for my sake?"
I looked back at the flames erupting from the patio, like a fiery dragon eager to break free. The green bricks on the ground under his feet are so hot that they have penetrated the soles of his shoes, and the soles of his feet are all hot and hot.
Perhaps, it is really impossible to live.
So what do I have to worry about?
I said, "If I am destined not to live today, then I hope you live well." Don't risk it for me anymore. ”
A tear slipped from Satsuki's reddened eyes. The moment it slipped from her cheek, it was like a crystal morning dew crossing a beautiful lily. She said, "Do you care so much about me?"
I nodded, and I said, "Of course I care about you." I felt that this statement was not enough, and I added, "I have always cared about you in my heart." ”
If it weren't for such a life-and-death edge, I wouldn't have been able to muster such courage.
The people downstairs have started screaming.
"It's on fire, run!"
If it weren't for such a brink of life and death, I wouldn't be able to appreciate how shocking the Lu family's light skills were.
It's like the Nine Heavens Lady stepping on the rainbow bridge across the sky. Satsuki took me, jumped up in the air, drew a perfect arc, and then landed steadily on the roof of the building next to me, stepping on the cold blue bricks and blue tiles.
Unexpectedly, it was so easy to escape!
What I just said......
Thinking about it, my face suddenly became hot,
Don't dare to look into Satsuki's eyes.
Satsuki took my arm, she looked at me with a smile and said, "Why is your face red?"
I thought about it for a moment and said, "Roasted by fire." ”
Xiaoyue hit me with a pink punch, and she sneered: "You still dare to mention the word fire, look at the good things you have done!"
The whole flower street was in chaos. The crowd centered on the Red Sleeve Pavilion poured out in all directions like fleeing ants.
I looked at it carefully and said, "Where is Li Tongdao?"
Xiao Yue sighed and said, "So many people are in a mess, and I don't know where to go for a long time." ”
I looked at the red-sleeved man swaying in the fireworks, the crowd of onlookers who had long since fled without a trace. Downstairs, only Su Hongsleeves and more than two dozen bewitched women were left, hugging each other's heads and hiding their faces and crying.

I'm doing it wrong again.
What I thought was a genius turned out to be a farce of utter stupidity.
When he returned to Jichun Hall, Fang Daquan had already woken up. Although his face was still as pale as paper, the good thing was that he was awake and could barely stand up.
He said to me, "Thank you, Brother Ji, for escorting me." ”
I smiled and said, "No thanks. ”
Li Jichun's expression was very excited, his hands shaking as he pointed out the window, and his eyes were as big as cowbells. He said, "You set the fire?"
I said, "Yes." ”
Li Jichun clapped his hands, his expression was painful, and he howled: "What a sin! You have burned down the business of my Jichun Hall!"
Looking at Li Jichun's appearance, I felt extremely apologetic, and I said, "Mourning is changing!"
Li Jichun glared at me and said, "Damn! My family is living well!"
Li Xiaoqian shook his head and sighed, and said, "The matter of Qubi Pavilion, I'm afraid that the clues will be broken." ”
I nodded, and I learned how the Red Sleeve Pavilion caught Su Hongsleeve, what Su Hongsleeve said, and why I lit a fire and came towards them one by one.
After listening to this, Li Xiaoqian nodded again and again and said, "It's a shame that I didn't go, otherwise I would have to go with you to set fire." ”
I was puzzled and asked, "Why?"
Li Xiaoqian said: "Lao Tzu has counted down since junior high school physics, and I really don't know the truth that the fire goes up!"
Hearing Li Xiaoqian say this, for some reason, I was inexplicably relieved.
I said, "What's next?"
Li Xiaoqian's face changed abruptly, grabbed Li Jichun's shirt, and scolded: "Bastard, you dare to lie to us!"
Li Jichun's eyes were dazed and frightened, and he shouted: "I, I didn't!
Li Xiaoqian shouted: "Then why did Su Hongsleeve say that she didn't know where Qubi Pavilion was, and let us go to Li Tongdao? We were originally going to find Li Tongdao, and you deliberately threw Su Hongsleeve to disturb our sight, didn't you?!"
Li Jichun waved his hand again and again, and said, "Wronged! You have been deceived by Su Hongsleeve, she is sure."
Know where the Fun Pen Pavilion is. Besides, the pavilion master of Qubi Pavilion has a surname at all, but he is not called He Zhongren at all. You guys were deceived by Su Hongsleeve!"
Xiao Yue and I glanced at each other, and Xiao Yue asked, "What is the name of the pavilion master of the Qubi Pavilion?"
"Ho, Ho White Flag!"
As soon as this name came out of Li Jichun's mouth, my chest trembled as if I had been hit hard.
The expressions of all of us were only amazement, who would have thought that the boss behind such an underground organization that reprinted books would be He Baiqi, the master of the Hall of the Dead Death, one of the top ten sects in the rivers and lakes!
"Which He Baiqi is it? Is it the He Baiqi from the Afterlife Hall?" Fang Daquan took the lead, and he was still holding Li Jichun's shoulder with a trembling hand, his face full of anxiety and disbelief.
Li Jichun said: "I, I don't know what the Hall of Afterlife is, I only know that the name of the pavilion master of the Qubi Pavilion is He Baiqi." ”
Xiao Yue's face suddenly sank, and the sword in her hand slid outward, revealing a three-inch white blade. She said, "This must be a very secret thing, how do you know that?"
Li Jichun said: "Once, I went to the Red Sleeve Pavilion to diagnose Su Hong's sleeve, and she sent someone to hand over a letter to the Qubi Pavilion, and the letterhead was written with these five words He Baiqi personally. I really see it, and it's definitely the name He Baiqi. ”
His expression was serious, but sincere, not like he was lying. So, Satsuki slowly put away her sword, she looked at me and nodded at me.
I said, "Well...... Let's go directly to He Baiqi!"
Xiao Yue said: "There is no evidence, I'm afraid he won't admit it!"
Li Xiaoqian nodded and said, "Not bad." For now, it is still necessary to find the hiding place of the Qubi Pavilion. ”
Fang Daquan snorted coldly: "Why bother so much, I'll go directly to He Baiqi, if it is really him who did it, no matter what kind of afterlife hall he is, whether it is the afterlife hall or the afterlife, I will kill him cleanly!" he said excitedly, and the green tendons erupted on his pale face.
Li Xiaoqian patted him lightly on the shoulder and said, "Don't get excited, brother." Beware of the wound bursting, you can't go to the Hall of Afterlife, and you will first walk on the path of the afterlife. ”
The two of them went back and forth, talking as if they had traveled through and been reborn. Bloody plot.
I said, "Let's go find evidence!"
After saying that, I looked at everyone's faces, and none of them objected. When I looked at Satsuki, Satsuki was turning to look out the window, her gaze was deep and firm, and the direction that extended was the Red Sleeve Pavilion that had completely sunk into the sea of fire......
