Chapter 24: On Fire

Nangong Demon handed over the clothes: "Help me return to Bai Weige." ”

Zhou Fangyu said in disbelief: "Sister Demon Demon, two days have passed, and you have neither washed nor returned, so it is better to simply stay." ”

"Someone kindly lent me something to wear, and I'm going to leave his clothes for something. "If you watch Bai Weige's things for a long time, you'll have nightmares.

"But Sister Demon Demon, why don't you go by yourself?" Zhou Fangyu was puzzled.

Nangong Demon said impatiently: "If you want to go, you can go, and ask so much for what." ”

In the afternoon, it was an archery class, which was held in the school field, Nangong Demon asked Zhou Fangyu, he had already returned the clothes to Bai Weige, Bai Weige didn't say anything, accepted it and left.

When it was Nangong Demon's turn to shoot an arrow, she pulled out her bow with a little difficulty, and shot out softly, not hitting the bull's-eye once. Now she is just a weak woman who didn't enter the top ten in the demon hunting conference and was lucky enough to come to audit, so naturally she can't perform too well.

At night, the bedroom was a little stuffy, Nangong Demon went out to blow the wind outside, and as he walked, he saw many disciples hurriedly running in one direction, and there was a noise somewhere in front of him.

Something can't be wrong, right?

Nangong Demon rushed to that direction with the heart of watching the excitement, and halfway through, she found that there was a back mountain in front of her, what were these disciples doing in a panic at night?

When they arrived at the back mountain, it was far more chaotic than Nangong Demon imagined, and the disciples of the Heavenly Sect in four-color school uniforms ran around carrying one or two wooden buckets, and when they came to a pile of stones, they poured out the water in the buckets.

"Quick, go and fetch water!" The one next to him shouted at the top of his voice was Shen Hui, yes.

Looking at their posture, it seemed that they were fighting a fire, but Nangong Demon didn't see where it was burning.

They poured water into the same place, wasn't that the hole she had fallen into...... Could it be that the cavern below is on fire?

As soon as Nangong Demon took a step, he was caught by Bai Weige, who had just arrived: "Don't go over." ”

"The cave is on fire, I'm going to see what's going on. "Nangong Demon doesn't care about the ghosts underneath, she just thinks things are too strange.

Bai Weige said: "It's too late, the cave is too deep for the fire to shine through, and when they found out, the fire had been burning for a while, and even if the fire was extinguished, the ghost and her child would have been burned to death." ”

The cave is underground, it is difficult to be found when it is on fire, more than ten minutes ago, two disciples came to catch the little ghost to be used for tomorrow's training, and went down the rope to the cave to feel that it was very hot below, and then walked down a little to find that the cave was on fire.

Cao Zhongyi, the eldest disciple of Jiatianmen, Zhou Xuen, the eldest disciple of Yitianmen, Shen Hui, the eldest disciple of Bingtianmen, and Xue Cong, the eldest disciple of Ding Tianmen, saluted He Daoqi, Shen Hongfei, and Xie Qingfeng together.

Cao Zhongyi said: "Immortal Venerable, the fire has been extinguished, and the situation in the cave will not be known until the disciples go down to see it." ”

Xie Qingfeng said: "It only rained a few days ago, and this is not the season when the weather is dry, why did it catch fire in a good way?"

Shen Hongfei stroked his beard and said: "The group of ghosts below, especially the female ghost, are very dangerous, and it is difficult to say that something inexplicable will not happen." It is inherently risky to lock these things in the back mountain, but fortunately the cave is deep, otherwise the back mountain will suffer today. ”

After speaking, he turned to He Daoqi: "How does He Xianzun think this fire started?"

He Daoqi said: "As Shen Xianzun said, the behavior of ghosts has no rules to follow, and it is stubborn, it is possible to play with fire and ignite the cave. ”

Shen Hongfei chuckled, looked at the entrance of the cave and said nothing.

After the fire was extinguished, several disciples went down to check the situation inside the cave, and the Nangong Demon heard them say that all the ghosts and monsters inside were burned to death, and no one survived.

"Why is this suddenly on fire, and there are no flammable materials in the cave......"

Bai Weige probably guessed what was going on with this fire, but there were too many people around to say it: "Do you want to go down and have a look?"

"Good. Nangong Demon responded in one bite.

After the group left, Nangong Demon and Bai Weige knocked out the two disciples guarding the entrance of the cave, grabbed the rope and went down slowly. The previous rope had been burned, and now it was a new rope that had been thrown down by the disciples just now.

Bai Weige lit the torches dropped by the disciples, and saw that the walls of the cave were all wet, and the water droplets fell on the ground with a "ticking" sound, and the air was filled with an unpleasant smell of burning, and the Nangong Demon knew that this was the burning smell of the ghost's corpse.

"Walking in the middle, the walls are wet. Bai Weige reminded her.

Nangong Demon was afraid to hear Bai Weige's sudden concern, which would make her feel very uncomfortable, she was not a child, how could she not pay attention to the wet wall.

Neither of them made a sound as they passed through the passage, and the only sound in the cave was the sound of shoes stepping on the wet dirt.

Coming to the cave where he saw the little ghosts and the ghosts two days ago, Nangong Demon looked around, and there was no trace of ghosts in it: "The corpses have been cleaned up by them!"

Bai Weige said: "Staying here will always have a bad impact. ”

Nangong Demon sighed: "Without evidence, tonight's fire will become an unsolved case." ”

Bai Weige said: "How do you know that Immortal Venerable has not found evidence and will not find out the cause of the fire?"

Nangong Demon smiled lightly: "That's right, several Immortal Venerables have great powers, and the truth will be found out in a few days, but I don't dare to believe the truth." "Just like the truth that the ghosts are locked up in the back mountain, as long as she doesn't see it with her own eyes and check it with her own hands, she will never believe it.

Bai Weige was slightly stunned, Nangong Demon was really much calmer than Xue Liruo seventy years ago: "The three Immortal Venerables are the oldest disciples who are still alive since the collapse of the Xianmen family, not to mention their status, reputation, and qualifications. They have been practicing since they were young, and they have been strict with themselves for decades, and they have taught disciples all over the Son of Heaven, many of whom have made great achievements. Why don't you believe the truth they found out?"

Nangong Demon sneered and laughed: "You don't believe it yourself and ask me what to do?" Two days ago, Bai Weige personally said that he had mixed in to find out some things, and I am afraid that even he didn't believe what he said just now.

What about the descendants of the family, what about the age, if you want to talk about it, she is also in her eighties, when she was in the Xuanmen, and when she was famous, these immortals were not born yet!

Bai Weige had already carefully inspected the cave, and those people cleaned it up, leaving no trace at all: "You're right, I don't believe that tonight's fire was an accident, Shen Xianzun and Xie Xianzun sent people to clean up this place so cleanly, they just didn't want others to find out the cause of the fire." ”

As soon as he said it, it aroused the interest of Nangong Demon: "Are you saying that those two did this fire?"

Bai Weige said: "Yesterday I found out the truth that the ghost was locked up in the back mountain, saying that it was done by a few disciples, judging from the number of ghosts, the ghost has been locked up here for several years, during which there will be disciples who will come to catch the ghost to be bait, if it is those ordinary disciples, they want to hide from everyone and bring the ghost back and lock it in the back mountain, one pass is several years, and they take the risk to catch the ghost secretly...... A few of them can't do it alone. After finding out this, those disciples were immediately executed, and even I didn't have a chance to meet them. ”

"At that time, it was said that these ghosts would be used as living targets for cultivation in the future, but only a day later, the cave caught fire, and none of the imps and ghosts escaped, and they were all burned to death. After Xianzun arrived, it was reasonable to say that the scene should be kept as it was, so that it would be easier to conduct a thorough investigation, but they did not do so, and instead cleaned up the cave as soon as possible. Isn't this proof that someone deliberately wanted to destroy the evidence, and he didn't want others to find out the real cause of the fire. ”
