Chapter 419 Crazy Fire

When we arrived near the beauty salon, it was already close to midnight.

The watchman was yawning all over the place, holding a lantern and drifting away.

Behind him, Jiang Zhimian and others appeared quietly, standing at a dead corner of the alley, observing the situation outside.

Not long after, a man in night clothes turned over from behind the eaves, like a bat flying at night, and quietly entered a house.

Qilin sniffed out what the man was carrying, "It's kerosene, it burns very fast, and water is hard to extinguish."

"It really is a trick to deceive people," Bai Yule was stunned, but still puzzled, "Fifth Sister-in-law, how do you know it's this one?"

There are so many houses and shops near the beauty salon, how could the fifth sister-in-law be able to guess the unlucky one picked by the other party?

Jiang Zhimian pursed his lips and smiled, "Analyze, he said that the fire of the sky is to punish the guilty, so it is natural to use people who have earned a lot of dirty money."

And on this street, only rich man Zhang is the only unlucky guy who meets the conditions.

After all, rich man Zhang made his fortune by squeezing tenants and servants.

Although this kind of person should indeed be punished, it would be bad if someone with a heart took it to make a fuss.

"Fifth sister-in-law, I still don't understand one thing," Bai Yule asked, "If he wants everyone to believe him, and then defrauds him of property, it's not necessary. If the previous peace talisman was more expensive, he could still have it." The same gold and silver, why waste time?"

Jiang Zhimian pondered for a moment, "I'm also thinking about this, maybe this person is not looking for money at all, but came here for other things."

"For fame?" Bai Yule asked again.

Everyone is desperately doing something, nothing more than for money or for power.

According to this development, it is not impossible for that expert to be admired by everyone in Anchang Town.

Maybe there is anything, I will come to ask this expert's opinion, when the time comes, I will cover the sky with my hands, and if he says one thing, others will not dare to say another...

Thinking about it, Bai Yule herself felt something was wrong.

"If it's really for these things, why come to Anchang Town, at least you have to go to Pingnan County, how much power does a small town have?"

"Go in and have a look first." Jiang Zhimian said.

A few people easily crossed the wall, and with the help of Qilin's extraordinary sense of smell, they followed the smell of kerosene all the way to the ancestral hall.

In the night, the long-burning oil lamps in the ancestral hall swayed in the wind, and dozens of spirit tablets that had been polished brightly cast long shadows, and some of them fell on the red-painted pillars, as if someone was about to break them out.

Quite a bit scary.

The man was holding the kerosene barrel in his hand, and walked outside the ancestral hall without feeling, splashing kerosene in circles.

And Chi Mohan saw the right moment, and a stone hit his wrist.

The man snorted, and the oil barrel fell to the ground, making a loud noise.

Everyone was very nervous tonight, everyone curled up in their own rooms, and the bucket was placed by the bedside in case the house caught fire, but there was no way for him to escape from the house.

Hearing the sound at this moment, subconsciously felt that it was on fire.

Everyone responded and started running out with buckets.

Seeing this, the man quickly took out the flint and prepared to ignite the fire oil on the ground.

With one easy leap, Qilin came directly in front of the man.

In the blink of an eye, he raised his hand, and the man was already pinned to the ground, his cheek pressed against the slate covered in kerosene, in a state of embarrassment.

"Who sent you here, and what is your purpose?" Qilin asked.

The man didn't answer, but began to struggle violently.

It's just that the way he struggles is a bit strange, rubbing up and down, left and right.

It's not so much a struggle, it's better to say that it seems to be rubbing and igniting something...

Jiang Zhimian raised her eyebrows and immediately shouted, "Kirin, get out of here!"

Although I don't know why, since Jiang Zhimian asked, Qilin immediately hid aside.

And at the same time, the man's body began to burst into flames, and the flames instantly ignited the kerosene on the ground.

The entire ancestral hall was surrounded by fire, as bright as day!
The man was in flames all over his body, even his face.

But as if he didn't know, he still turned his head and cast a terrible smile at Jiang Zhimian.

Then flew into the ancestral hall.

Not far away, the sound of footsteps gradually approached.

If the four of them continued to stay, I'm afraid they would have something to do with this matter.

Chi Mohan closed his eyes, hugged Jiang Zhimian in his arms, and quickly evacuated along the wall of rich man Zhang's courtyard.

But the fire behind it was getting bigger and bigger, and it was useless to pour ordinary water on it.

Fortunately, the ancestral hall is a single room and is not connected with other houses.

After the ancestral hall was burned down, the fire in Mr. Zhang's house was considered to be extinguished.

……

There is no word inside.

Bai Yule was very angry, "This person died like this, our trip is worthless!"

"It's not a waste of time. At least I know that this is really a trick, but it's a pity that no one else saw it." Jiang Zhimian said.

"I suddenly caught fire, is it just pretending to be a ghost?" Qilin was puzzled by this.

"It's red phosphorus." Jiang Zhimian explained.

It wasn't that he was on fire at all, but that the man hid a lot of red phosphorus on his body and rubbed it on the ground to let the red phosphorus come into contact with some fire source.

For example, Huozhezi.

When red phosphorus encounters fire, it will burn rapidly, emit white light, and emit a large amount of white smoke.

It was precisely because of these characteristics that Jiang Zhimian judged that the man was carrying red phosphorus.

When I saw him rubbing wildly on the ground just now, I knew something was wrong.

When encountering such a thing, of course, the first thing to do is to choose to break free or lose both sides.

That action is clearly the latter.

Fortunately, Jiang Zhimian told Qilin to escape quickly, otherwise Qilin might have become a severely burned patient at this moment.

What a handsome young man, how could he be so unfortunate?

"What is red phosphorus?" the people from Gujiao Mountain humbly asked for advice.

"It's something that can be made into white phosphorus. White phosphorus, in layman's terms, is a will-o'-the-wisp." Jiang Zhimian said.

White phosphorus can be obtained after special production of things like red phosphorus.

The simpler way to obtain white phosphorus is to walk around the graveyard. Those things that glow green and white in the dark are white phosphorus that ignites spontaneously.

Of course, it is obviously inconvenient to tell such complicated chemical knowledge to the group of ancient people in front of us.

The Gujiaoshan people grasped the point, "It's a bit of a skill to deceive people by borrowing things that can be made into will-o'-the-wisps. This is the first time I've seen this kind of trick."

"Then he has two brushes?" Bai Yule asked again.

Jiang Zhimian nodded thoughtfully, "It should be."

At the same time, a bold idea has arisen in his mind.
