Liaozhai Great Sage

Chapter 700
Li Xiuyuan turned over and sat on the dragon colt, cupped his fists and saluted, "You must not ignore the safety of your family, so I'm sorry to excuse you."

As soon as the words fell, he rode the dragon horse straight to Longyin Lake.

"That's a lake, I can't ride a horse." Some scholar hurriedly shouted, for fear that Li Xiuyuan's eyesight would be bad and he would fall into the lake on his horse.

But the next moment.

The dragon horse leaped, stepped on the water without sinking, stepped on the lake and quickly ran towards the opposite bank, the speed was extremely fast, like a gust of wind blowing past, in a blink of an eye Li Xiuyuan and the dragon horse had already rushed to the center of the lake.

"He has Zhang Sengyao's picture of a dragon and a horse, and he also knows how to paint the finishing touch. He must have received Zhang Sengyao's true biography."

"In the painting, the dragon and horse can tread water without sinking, and run like the wind, but today is a real eye-opener."

"No, I want to worship this gentleman as my teacher. The finishing touch must not be lost. I want to carry it forward. Teacher, teacher, wait for me, students are willing to follow you."

A scholar seemed to be insane, screaming while running, wishing to catch up with him to perform the ceremony of apprenticeship, and learn such magical painting skills as finishing touches.

It's just that he didn't know that Li Xiuyuan's painting skills came from the talents gifted to him by the immortals.

And this talent is born and honed, it cannot be acquired overnight.

Li Xiuyuan ignored the shouts of those scholars at the moment, he had already crossed the treasure temple in the center of Longyin Lake on his dragon horse.

However, when passing the treasure temple, the sitting dragon horse suddenly stopped its iron hooves, raised its head and neighed like a dragon chant.

"Huh?" Li Xiuyuan's expression changed, but he didn't understand Longma's sudden move.

But after taking a quick look, his face froze when he saw that Baocha.

However, under the reflection of the fire, Bao Sha appeared in the lake water, and turned into the shape of a dragon.

The body of this dragon is bent, crawling on the bottom of the lake, the claws and the head of the dragon are distinct. The only pity is that the dragon cannot move. The dragon was nailed to the bottom of the lake.

"The trap of the dragon? There is indeed a real dragon trapped in Longyin Lake. The dragon horse may have sensed the breath of the real dragon, so it stopped and neighed uncomfortably, or the real dragon at the bottom of the lake deliberately emitted its breath when I passed by. Disturb the dragon horse."

Li Xiuyuan's eyes moved slightly, and then he said: "The real dragon at the bottom of the lake, you must be deeply involved if you are trapped here. This Longyin Lake was dug and built by the imperial court, and the treasure temple was also blessed by an expert. The emperor's order is impossible. I still have work to do, but I don't have the time to care about you.

Repression is not repression. "

"If you are a real dragon, why worry about this little suppression? Hundreds of years later, the temple will collapse and the lake will dry up. You will naturally be able to get out of trouble. It's useless to call me to stop you."

After speaking, he rode the dragon horse and left immediately.

"You help me get out of trouble, and I'll help you rain and put out the fire." Suddenly, a voice came from the bottom of the lake, like water bubbles tumbling, and it was a bit dull.

Li Xiuyuan's expression moved slightly, but Long Ju didn't intend to stop, he replied, "Consider, consider."

Leaving the position of the treasure temple in the center of the lake, he could no longer hear the voice of the real dragon.

It can be seen that after being suppressed, it can show limited abilities, and it is somewhat reluctant to speak and communicate.

It's just that he has a lot of things to solve now, and he doesn't want to take care of the dragon's affairs for the time being. Who knows how much trouble this dragon will cause if it is released, and it is not known whether the dragon is good or evil.

At this moment, south of the city.

The fire spread all the way along the street, and it was extremely ferocious. In a short while, the whole street was ignited, and sparks splashed in all directions, spreading to other places continuously.

Most of the houses in the capital are made of wood. Although most people use bricks and stones for fire protection when building houses, the two firewalls are useless when the real fire spreads. The flames are like fire. Like spirituality, it spreads in unimaginable directions

Come on, until finally igniting everything in front of you.

The flames shot into the sky, the people ran in panic, and the south of the city was in chaos.

Even if someone kept carrying water to put out the fire, it couldn't be extinguished when the fire was already full.

Chief Cui of the Six Gates led all the police officers under his command to arrange for the people to flee, but at the same time, he saw some strange people in the place where the fire was most intense. These people were wearing fiery red clothes and fiery red heads. Hats and beards are fiery red, and they're standing in the firelight,
Waving the command flags of the Suzaku Regiment in his hand.

The command flags in their hands point to the east, and the fire will spread to the east.

Pointing forward, the fire surged towards the north of the city as if with the help of the south wind.

Every time a block was burnt, the man in charge of the fire laughed and opened his mouth to inhale, billowing thick smoke poured into his mouth, the smoke contained domestic animals, ghosts of the dead, and puffs of puffs from all over the world. The home is dedicated to the gods and Buddhas, the incense of the ancestors.

With every puff of smoke, the body of the fiery red man became stronger.

In addition, in every corner of the capital, there are many wild ghosts and hair gods who take this opportunity to absorb incense. They just share some leftovers, not as much as those in red clothes.

"Damn it, this fire was not man-made, it was ghosts and gods who took this opportunity to make trouble, it was the same last time, but this time they went too far, they were so cruel that they wanted to burn down the entire south of the city."

Mr. Cui was furious when he saw those ghosts and gods, and rushed over with his subordinates in his hand to trouble the ghosts and gods.

"Chief arrester, this matter is not something we can solve. You know the ability of the Huolingshen. If you can deal with him, the capital will not be on fire every year. This is his rule. It is not unknown to you to collect incense once and offer a few dozen households less and a few more streets.

road. "Old Yan on the side stopped Mr. Cui and said.

"It's because he's gone too far. He wants to burn the whole capital city clean? You don't have to drag me, I definitely can't swallow this breath." Mr. Cui broke free and immediately ran towards the place where the fire spread.

He also rode a fast horse, and he blindfolded the horse so that the horse would not be afraid of the fire.

When he came to a burning mansion, he immediately took out a magic sword from his arms without hesitation, and threw it at a man in a fiery red robe.

But the dharma sword flew, and before it landed on the body of the man in red robe, it was ignited by the surrounding fire, and immediately burned blazingly, losing his spirituality and falling down.

The man's eyes moved, he looked at Mr. Cui, grinned, and pointed at him with the order flag in his hand.

Immediately, the fires in the surrounding streets rushed towards him overwhelmingly.

Chief Cui was shocked and left Qi Ma to hide.

He rolled several times on the ground one after another, and finally escaped from the encirclement of the flames.

He was covered in white smoke, his hair and eyebrows were burnt, and there was a burnt smell from his whole body.

In the midst of the fire, the steed that President Cui had sat down was also neighing in pain, and it could be vaguely seen struggling in the flames.

But soon.

The horse in the fire fell to the ground with a plop and was burned to death by the fire.

"It's nothing more than a head catcher who can see ghosts and gods. If he dares to stop me, he is asking for his own death." The man in the fiery red robe said coldly. He opened his mouth and sucked, and he swallowed the soul of the horse.

Then he waved the flag a few times, and immediately the surrounding houses collapsed, and the burning beams fell down, making it impossible for Mr. Cui to escape.

Although his martial arts were strong, he still couldn't dodge after flying several flaming beams and pillars. He was knocked flying the long lance in his hand and fell to the ground.

"Ah~!"

Mr. Cui let out a scream, and the flesh on his body was burned and smoked.

"Burn you to death." The man in the fiery red robe opened his mouth and spit out, immediately the flames spewed out and enveloped him away.

"Oops." President Cui endured the severe pain and wanted to escape.

But his martial arts are only mortal martial arts, and the ghost in front of him has a high level of Taoism, which cannot be dealt with by his means.

"Hey~!"

But at this moment, a golden light suddenly flew from the other end of the street, piercing through the air in an instant, tearing open the flame that spewed out, directly piercing the head of the man in the fiery red robe, and finally killing him Fixed firmly on the scorched black wall of a certain house, and disappeared instantly.

There was no movement, but a pair of dull eyes opened wide, looking very shocked.

"Who saved me?" Mr. Cui trembled, and hurriedly pushed away the pillars that were pressing on him.

Looking back, he saw a handsome and extraordinary dragon horse walking slowly on the bluestone road, the sound of iron hooves was clear, and the flames could not hide it.

On top of the dragon colt, a handsome young man dressed as a scholar was looking at him.

"Boss Cui, can you tell me what happened in the south of the city? There was such a big fire on the Lantern Festival, you are a little negligent as the chief catcher." Li Xiuyuan grabbed it casually.

With a flash of golden light, Tai'a sword returned to his hand again.

"Please refer to Master Li for my humble post, thank you for your life-saving grace." Chief Cui immediately saluted with fists and knelt down on one knee.

Li Xiuyuan has already verified his identity as the governor of Yangzhou, so he needs to salute when they meet.
