Shi Zelan nodded repeatedly: "Now the city lord is an upright man, follows what he preaches, and his morals are very good, which is suitable for living."
After Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu talked for a while, Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu returned to the top of the mountain, and Shi Zelan stayed In the wind.
The night wind blew, and Shi Zelan vaguely heard some movement. She lay down directly, and the earth was very quiet.
After Shi Zelan let go of his spiritual consciousness, he saw something burning near the city lord's mansion in the city.
Shi Zelan sent the news to Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu, and they quickly rushed to the outlet.
Shi Xiaoliu said to Shi Zelan and Xia Yu: "I will stay to guard the wind outlet, and you two will go into the city."
Shi Zelan and Xia Yu immediately left the wind outlet. They were very fast and arrived at the city gate. I saw the disciples in the Dharma Hall.
The three of them looked at each other and looked at the closed city gate. Shi Zelan whispered: "Are we still going in?"
The disciple of the Buddhist Temple took a step back: "I won't go. "
Shi Zelan and Xia Yu said to him: "Junior brother, please go back to the other side of the river first. We will stop outside the city. "
The disciples of the Buddhist Temple left quickly. Shi Zelan and Xia Yu's figures floated up the city wall and quickly entered the city.
After the two of them entered the city, they found that the people in the city were already saving the burning yard.
Shi Zelan and Xia Yu looked at each other, then did not go forward, but mingled with the crowd outside.
“This is the home of Lord Zhou Fuyuan, a subordinate official of the City Lord’s Mansion.”
“Did you remember it wrong? I heard someone said that subordinate officials usually live with the City Lord in the City Lord’s Mansion?”< br>
"That's right, Mr. Zhou Fuyuan is the official of the City Lord's fancy. The City Lord has given permission for his family to move out of the City Lord's Mansion." . ”
“Everyone stood back, everyone went back to their homes.”
Shi Zelan and Xia Yu looked around and sat on the roof of a nearby house. .
The fire went out and the crowd outside the yard dispersed.
"Alas, no one survived. How much hatred is this?"
"Master Zhou and his family are usually very friendly. Who have you provoked?"
"I I think the person who set the fire must still be in the city."
"Not necessarily. The masters of the martial arts are flying around. They must be far away now."
This person from the government. When they were checking the situation in the yard, they looked through it for a while and shook their heads at each other.
"There are no traces of arson for the time being."
The government arranged for people to guard outside the courtyard gate, and specifically stated: "If there is any movement, you must guard the courtyard gate and not let anyone leave this place."< br>
Shi Zelan and Xia Yu heard what was going on below, and Xia Yu whispered: "Let's go."
The two of them returned to the vent, and Shi Xiaoliu sighed when he saw them: "You said before that there was no excitement in the city, but now there will be."
Shi Zelan and Xia Yu sighed: "We don't want to see such excitement.
We would rather watch the excitement of surreptitious behavior. Seeing this kind of excitement makes us feel uncomfortable. "
Xia Yu and Shi Xiaoliu talked about the things in the city. Shi Xiaoliu frowned and said, "Kill the family?
This is a life-and-death feud. What do the people in the government say? "
"It was too dark, so the government arranged for people to guard the front and back yards, and also laid an ambush in the yard. "
Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu did not go back to the top of the mountain. Shi Zelan let them go, and she lay down again and listened to the noise underground.
After Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu saw it, they lay down and listened.
"Sister Lan, I can't hear any difference."
"Yes."
Shi Zelan said to them: "When the courtyard in the city is burning, I vaguely heard movement below, so I used my consciousness to see what was happening in the city." After Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu looked at each other, Shi Xiaoliu said to Shi Zelan, "I'll go into the city tomorrow to see what's going on. .”
After Shi Xiaoliu finished speaking, he meditated and practiced. Xia Yu followed suit. Shi Zelan went to the wind outlet to stand and then came back.
She also meditated later. The sky became brighter. She opened her eyes and Shi Xiaoliu said to her: "Sister Lan, Xia Yu and I have entered the city."
"Okay.< br>
You go.”
After Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu left, Shi Zelan saw that the wind was much less strong, and she followed the wind and walked into the center of the wind.
When she knelt down to look at the ground, she saw a protruding piece at the corner. She reached out and pressed it, only to find another pit.
Shi Zelan's heart sank as she thought of the fire burning in the city. After she came out following the wind, she quickly sent a message to Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu.
Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu received the news from Shi Zelan. They entered the city, looked at the burned yard, and quickly left the city.
There are so many people entering the city like them, so their actions are not very conspicuous.
Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu looked around the city gate, then went to the city wall to squat down and watch for a while.
Then the two stood up with unsightly expressions. They turned around and saw the three officials standing behind them.
"What are you looking at?"
Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu pointed at the ground: "The color here is wrong."
The three officials listened to Shi Xiaoliu According to Liu and Xia Yu, two of them squatted down and looked at it for a long time, and said: "There is nothing wrong."
Shi Xiaoliu sighed: "When I passed by here a few days ago, this area There is a lot of grass on the ground.
I came today and looked again. The ground was dark and there was much less grass. "
Xia Yu added from the side: "And there is a lot of grass in other places, but there is less grass in this area. "
The standing official listened to the words of the two of them. He squatted down, looked carefully, and said to the other two officials: "Carefully check the ground and city walls nearby. "
He looked at Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu: "I haven't seen you before? "
"Sir, we people in the mountains will not enter the city unless we sell medicinal herbs.
We originally wanted to go into the city to sell medicinal herbs. On the way, we heard someone said that the city was burned down. We sent the medicinal herbs back and hurried into the city to see the situation. "
"Have you entered the city? "
"Enter.
Hey, sir, have you caught the person who set the fire? "
The official looked at them seriously: "Show me the household stickers. ”
Shi Xiaoliu took out the household sticker with great treasure and showed it to the official, and said to him: "Sir, can we go into the city tomorrow to sell medicinal herbs?"
"Yes.
You guys Let's go, it's okay, don't talk nonsense outside."
"Yes, sir, we don't talk nonsense outside."
Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu turned around and left. They could feel someone following them.
They could only walk towards the door, wandering around on the path, and finally got rid of the people following them.
They returned to the wind outlet and listened to Shi Zelan's talk about the situation in the center of the wind outlet. The three of them hurriedly followed the wind and entered the center of the wind outlet.
Shi Zelan pointed to the pit at the corner: "The ground here protrudes a little. I stretched out my hand to smooth it, but it turned into a pit."
Shi Xiao Liu reached out to touch the ground and made a palm-sized mark on the ground. (End of this chapter)
