Chapter 20 Fire
The two old ladies exchanged tacit expressions. Gu Shiyi couldn't tell, so he twitched the corner of his mouth and said,
What's the matter, if you're not getting married at thirty and you're not going to be sentenced to death, it's only reasonable to not get married, right?
Older men and women really can’t afford to be hurt!

She was busy trying to clear her name,

"My family is poor and cannot afford a wife..."

"Oh……"

The two old ladies were stunned and wanted to say something, but they heard the noise upstairs getting louder and louder. It was so loud that the two old ladies who were focused on making food stopped. One of them asked Gu Shiyi,

"You come from outside, but do you know what's going on up there?"

Gu Shi said,
"It said that five people got on the boat and were looking for someone..."

"Looking for someone... who are they looking for? Apart from the girls here, we are also prostitutes... who are they looking for..."

Before the old lady could say anything, she heard a cold snort.
"Humph!"

This cold snort was not loud, but somehow it spread to the ears of everyone on the entire ship. The mortals on this ship felt as if someone had punched them hard in the head.

"Om..."

There was a sound, and her mind went blank. Gu Shiyi still had some ideas after all. She just felt that her ears hurt from the vibration, but the eyes of the two old ladies in front of her suddenly turned white, and they fell with a thud as soon as their bodies went limp. When he got to the ground, his body twitched and foam began to flow from the corners of his mouth. Gu Shiyi secretly cried out.

"Such a disregard for the lives of mortals is truly an evil practice!"

This must be the person who killed Niu Da's family in the town. How is this?

Are you going to come to Xuancheng to kill a boatload of people? Aren't they afraid of being chased by the Qingling Guards?

Gu Shi felt a chill running down his back.

What kind of hatred or resentment is this? Isn't it just for a mirror?Is that really the case?
She used to often hear old Taoist priests talk about the dangers of the world, and how cultivation went against the will of nature. The principles of nature did not exist, and human nature was lost. Some evil cultivators, not to mention mortals, even their own relatives and descendants would take advantage of the techniques they cultivated. Refined by my own blood relatives!

If this is caught by a decent cultivator, the worst thing is to hand it over, but if you encounter an evil cultivator and hand it over to the west, your life will be light. When the time comes, you will use your flesh and blood to practice evil skills. It’s really impossible to do anything like a ghost!

Gu Shiyi's face turned pale with fright, and he subconsciously wanted to get up, run out, and dive into the water to escape, but he heard crashing and popping sounds outside. The servants walking on the deck fell to the ground, and the trays and bowls in their hands were broken. The sound of cracking made her immediately excited,
"No, at this time, everyone in the boat has collapsed, and I can still run. Doesn't it make it clear that there is a problem?"

Thinking of this, she rolled her eyes upwards, foamed at her mouth, and fell down in front of the kitchen door...

At this moment, the three people watching on the shore all frowned. Among them, the middle-aged monk named Qi glanced at the young man and said,

"Lord Baiwei, they actually dare to harm mortal lives in the city, why don't we take action?"

The young man smiled and said,

"It's okay, but I'm just unconscious. I can cast a spell afterwards to make all the people on the boat forget what happened tonight. Now it seems that they have determined that the person they are looking for is on the boat. They plan to search for the person one by one. Wait a minute. …”

After waiting for so long, aren't you just waiting for them to find the person?

While they were talking, the five people were already searching the boat. Due to the filthy smell, the treasure hunting plate could no longer be used. They had just scanned the people in the boat with their spiritual senses and found nothing out of the ordinary. The elder brother guessed that the old Taoist priest must have concealed his aura and disguised himself on the ship, so they could only pour spiritual energy into these mortals one by one and observe their reactions. This was the stupidest way to find them!
"There are about a hundred people on this boat. Let's investigate separately. We must find them before the Qingling Guards arrive here!"

Then use the blood escape technique and run as far as you can!

At this time, the flower boat fell into a strange silence. Only five people on the boat were walking around. Gu Shiyi lay there and heard the crackling of firewood in the stove and the occasional sound of the table above his head. The sound of the chair overturning and the sound of someone cursing loudly came from the fifth of the five people.
"Bah...filthy mortals, dirty my hands!"

Gu Shiyi noticed that the other party had started walking down from the third floor.
"No way! We can't let them find out here..."

Although she didn't know what methods these cultivators used to search for the person they were looking for, she didn't think that she, a little dabbler Taoist priest, could conceal her identity. If she didn't think of a way, she would really be caught!
At this point, Gu Shiyi gritted his teeth, quietly raised his head, reached out and pulled out the firewood from the stove, but instead threw it into the pot of boiling oil that was still simmering above.
"boom……"

With a sound, the pot of oil that had been boiling suddenly burst into flames when it met the fire. The flames immediately jumped to the roof of the cabin. The biggest fear of this wooden ship was fire, and with the help of the pot of oil, the flames could not stop. In just a few breaths, the entire kitchen was filled, igniting everything that could be ignited. Thick smoke instantly billowed out of the kitchen and poured out from the small hatch.The two old ladies lying on the ground were originally unconscious, but they were choked awake by the billowing smoke. When they opened their eyes, they immediately screamed in fright.

"The water is gone! The water is gone!"

At this time, Gu Shiyi pretended to be woken up by being choked, jumped up and shouted,
"It's on fire! Run away!"

He grabbed one hand and hurriedly ran out of the hatch. The three of them came outside. The two old ladies were startled when they saw the mess of people on the deck, but they couldn't care less at this time. The fire in the kitchen He had already chased the three people out and started rushing up to the second floor along the hatch.

"It's on fire! Put out the fire!"

The shrill screams of the two old women pierced the entire river. Gu Shiyi also shouted after them, and then slapped the face of the person on the ground.

"Clap clap clap..."

"Wake up! Wake up!"

Several people were woken up by her, and they screamed when they saw the fire. Not long after, the nearby boats were also alerted, and people began to row over...

"Help! Someone, come! Help!" Gu Shiyi and two old ladies shouted towards the river. Their voices spread far and wide in the silent night. As the fire intensified, more and more people were killed. Some woke up or choked, some yelled, some rushed into the cabin to rescue belongings, and some were timid and jumped directly into the river. Hearing the popping sound, people seemed to be reminded and began to They jumped down one after another, and soon there were dumplings on the river, making a popping popping sound...

Gu Shiyi did not jump. She followed a few brave nurses and rushed to the second floor. She shouted for help, but her eyes were darting around. When she saw the money tree placed in the middle of the hall, she was shocked. He shouted and rushed over,

"It's water! Run!"

There were the most people lying down in this hall, so she didn't care about it and ran over, stepping on the bellies, heads, arms, and thighs of a bunch of men and women.
"Run! You're running into water! You guys, run!"

Someone started to get up, yelling in panic, and ran downstairs in a panic. However, when they reached the stairs, they were forced back by the rising flames...

Gu Shiyi shouted while pulling up a chair and throwing it hard at the porcelain flower garden that was the size of a round table.

"Boom..."

With a sound, the porcelain altar cracked and the sand inside scattered to the ground, and a hand fell out from it. The skin and flesh on it had rotted, but a huge ruby ​​ring could still be seen inside the rotten flesh. Gu Shiyi saw it Overjoyed,
"I thought it was like this. This thing can't be found. I didn't expect it to still be in her hands..."

It’s really Master’s blessing!
Gu Shiyi tore off a corner of his clothes and pulled the ring off his rotten hand. He looked around and found that the entire hall was filled with smoke. The men and women who got up from the ground went upstairs in panic. Running up, Gu Shiyi saw the beautiful woman in red, who was also struggling to push her way to the stairs among the crowd. At this time, she and several flower boat girls were crowding the place where one person could pass, pushing each other. ,

"Get away! Let me go up first!"

"Let me go up first!"

In the midst of the chaos, I saw a tall man rushing over, and shouted loudly when he saw this,
"You all get out of here!"

At that moment, he pushed all the women to the ground, stepped on the girls' bodies and rushed upstairs. Seeing this, the people behind him followed suit and stepped on the bodies of the girls on the ground and rushed upstairs. , Gu Shiyi could clearly see that the woman in red was stepped on the hardest, with several feet hitting her chest. When the crowd surged forward and everyone in the hall ran away for most of the time, Gu Shiyi went to look again. By then, the woman in red was already bleeding from the corner of her mouth.
"Save... save... save me..."

When the woman in red saw Gu Shiyi coming, her eyes lit up and she stretched out her hand. Gu Shiyi hesitated for a moment, sighed and stretched out his hand to help her up. She didn't say anything more, just held her hand. They rushed to the third floor. Behind them were three other women. Several people rushed to the third floor. It was still safe here for the time being. Someone had already jumped from the railing on the third floor. The burly man in front jumped into the water with a splash. , causing high splashes of water...

Gu Shiyi touched the clay figurine in her arms. She was about to dive. She looked around, pulled off a piece of curtain, wrapped the clay figurine layer by layer, then put it into her arms, and then He rushed to the railing and jumped into the river.
"Pfft..."

There was a sound, water splashed everywhere, and Gu Shiyi fell heavily into the river. This river was dug manually, and the water was not too deep. After she jumped down, she hit the bottom. She held her breath and paddled a few times in the water before coming out. , people were almost reaching the river bank. At this time, the river bank was already full of people. Some people saw her swimming over and hurriedly stretched out the branches to pull her up. Gu Shiyi climbed up the bank wetly, panting heavily and went to the bank. The other party thanked him,
"Thank you!"

The other party hurriedly waved his hand and said,

"There's no need to be so polite. There's someone else behind you!"

Gu Shiyi hurriedly stepped aside and sat on the blue stone under the tree to catch his breath. While watching the people on the shore rushing to save people, he took out the cloth bag in his arms and took out the clay figurine wrapped in it. came out,

"Fortunately...I came out of the water quickly enough, and I didn't have time to get wet..."

Yan'er's body can't help but get blisters now...

But on the flower boat, the five evil cultivators were gnashing their teeth. They did not think that the fire was man-made for a moment. They only thought that the people on the boat fell to the ground, or that the candles fell down and caused the fire. They couldn't help but secretly cursed,

"It's really unlucky!"

If the people from Qingling Guard don't come, the people from the government will come too. I'm afraid today's matter may not be possible!
The eldest brother's face was so gloomy that it looked like water was dripping from his face, but he was also a decisive person.

"let's go!"

If you can't do anything, don't linger. Staying for a little longer will be a disaster!

Five people born from the same mother, they are used to advancing and retreating together. When the eldest brother spoke, the brothers immediately disappeared and flew into the air...

At this time, Gu Shiyi suddenly felt something in his heart. When he looked up, he saw a black shadow passing by in the mid-air. There was a figure looming among them, fleeing quickly towards the outside of the city. Gu Shiyi followed the five people with his eyes, secretly thinking in his heart. breathed a sigh of relief,

"It seems that no matter how bold they are, they are afraid of offending the Qingling Guards, so they are going to run away!"

While he was thinking about it, he saw the five black shadows suddenly appear in mid-air, and a faint figure stood in front of the five people...

Gu Shiyi was stunned and looked around. When everyone's attention was attracted by the river, he turned around and ran into the woods on the river bank. He found the tallest tree and climbed up. Through the dense Gu Shiyi saw clearly that the faint figure in the mid-air was a young monk. He had a round face, a high nose, bright and attractive peach blossom eyes, and a natural smile at the corner of his mouth. Although he was not perfect, He was so handsome but made people feel at ease. Gu Shiyi's eyes lit up and he raised his best friend to the branch of the tree.
"Yan'er, look, look, is the man above him your type?"

The five black shadows and the young man in the mid-air were invisible to the mortals putting out the fire. She could see them because she had magical power, and Yan'er could see them because she was a ghost and was no longer a human being with the naked eye.

Li Yan'er was reminded by her, and when she looked up, she saw the young man in the air. He was neither tall nor short, neither fat nor thin, fair and clean, and had a gentle smile. He was not the most handsome, but he must be very good. The kind of man who gets along well with me and has a good temper. At first glance, he looks like a good man from IKEA and Ishi. This is completely based on his own aesthetics. I couldn't help but exclaimed,
"Really! Who is he...is he a cultivator?"

Otherwise, how could he be suspended in mid-air? Looking at his posture, he looked as comfortable and calm as if he were standing on the ground. Gu Shi said in a low voice,
"Most of them are from Qingling Guard. These people must have attracted people from Xuancheng Qingling Guard by making such a big noise. This person should have come to stop them!"

Now, it’s better to arrest everyone, then you’ll be safe!
"oh oh……"

Li Yan'er nodded repeatedly and heard the young monk say to the five people,
"A few of you...killed everyone before, and now they have caused such a big commotion in Xuancheng. If they just want to get away with it, they may not be too disrespectful to our Qingling Guards!"
