Chapter 71 The Mystery of Skyfire
"So they thought of grabbing food, regardless of the lives of the people?"
Jingjue put his hands together and said, "Amitabha, you are guilty."
Xiao Ran snorted coldly, "I promise that they will suddenly come back next time."
Jingjue looked at this Langzhong side again. This Langzhong is not like a martial arts person. His words are indeed full of confidence, which is beyond doubt. I don't know where the confidence came from, and I doubted, "Are you sure?"
Xiao Ran smiled mysteriously and said, "Are you sure? You won't know until you try." This tone made Xia Ruoyan, who saw Xiao Ran kill in person that night, feel cold. Liu Siyue couldn't help thinking of the one-eyed golden toad that could only detoxify, and her face tightened.
Jingjue said, "Ye Xianzi once saw how the cult demons deceived the people? If the secret can be solved, fewer people may be deceived. Xiao Ran is also very interested in this.
Ye Ningxue recalled the scene of the day and said, "On that day, Sister Liu and I mixed into the crowd watching the "miracle" and wanted to find out the secret of the "sky fire". From beginning to end, the holy envoy's every move was under our gaze..." Ye Ningxue carefully explained the situation that day, and several people in the scene were still puzzled. Tianyinjiao made sacrifices with great fanfare and invited thousands of people to watch it. It would be strange if it was easily exposed.
Xia Ruoyan looked at Xiao Ran with a thicker smile and said unconvincedly, "What's funny? If you have the ability, you can expose it." Xiao Ran couldn't help laughing, like a child getting his beloved toy.
Jingjue said, "Lord Zhou, you know the secret"
Xiao Ran laughed at such a simple thing that these martial arts masters couldn't even think of it. Tianyin religion also claimed to be a miracle. Ye Ningxue and Liu Siyue also waited for Xiao Ran's reply with anticipation. Because this secret can save many people's lives.
Xiao Ran stopped talking and suddenly thought of a difficult problem: he could prove that the "sky fire" was just the principle of convex lens, but these people had never seen convex lenses at all. How can others believe it just by his mouth? Even the foreign envoys pay tribute to every year are just a few low-purity glasses. I really don't know where the convex lens of Tianyin Sect comes from.
Xiao Ran's laughter turned into a bitter smile in an instant. The people in the field were not sure what he was thinking when they saw his changeable face. Liu Siyue whispered, "Zhou Langzhong...Zhou..."
Xiao Ran went back to his mind and said, "This chess move of Tianyin is really wonderful."
Several people don't know what Xiao Ran's words mean. Why did they praise their enemies? Didn't they grow other people's ambitions and destroy their own prestige? Without waiting for a few people to ask, Xiao Ran already snorted coldly: "No wonder he shouldn't have come to provoked me."
Anyone can hear the meaning of Xiao Ran's words, and he has a way to crack it. No one was surprised. No one expected that he could come up with an answer in such a short time. He didn't even go to the sacrifice site in person, but just listened to Ye Ningxue's dictation. How many secrets are hidden in this person?
Xia Ruoyan said doubtly, "How can you know? You guessed wrong."
Xiao Ran smiled and said, "Within five days, I can also attract "sky fire" in the same way. Believe it?"
"Is this true?" Jing felt shocked.
"Real!" Xiao Ran's tone is affirmative. Xia Ruoyan was stunned, as if there was nothing in the world that could not be solved.
Liu Siyue said, "In this way, we can solve the secret of the "sky fire" before the sacrifice on the eighth day of September."
Jingjue said, "Ye Xianzi, what are your plans for the Emei faction?"
"We have sent a letter back to Emei and plan to wait for news in Yong'an County first. The three sisters are separated, maybe around these counties, so that they can inquire about the news.
Jingjue nodded slightly: "The monk has something to do. Tomorrow is a step ahead. There are two benefactors sitting here, and the monks can leave at ease and see each other again if they are predestined.
When everyone dispersed, Xia Ruoyan said privately, "Can you tell me the secret of the "sky fire" first?"
"I can't."
"stingy." Xia Ruoyan frowned and said, "I didn't even tell you."
Xiao Ran said helplessly, "How to demonstrate to you without props? Besides, you may not understand."
"Do you think the "sky fire" was made of props? Just now, I made a promise. Where are you going to find the props in the past five days?
Xiao Ran thought for a moment and said, "Do you know that there is an alchemy Taoist temple in the other party recently?"
"Do you want to be a Taoist priest and refine the elixir of immortality?"
"Can't you?"
"How dare you!"
Xiao Ran smiled at the corners of his mouth and said, "I remember that Taoist priests can also marry and have children."
Xia Ruoyan's face turned red: "How dare you laugh at me." With a punch, Xiao Ran did not dodge and just hit him in the chest.
"Why don't you avoid it, stupid?"
Xiao Ran said, "I won't hide even if you want to kill me, because I know you can't bear it."
Xia Ruoyan "hummed": "When your cow's nose is old." When he turned around, a smile appeared at the corners of his mouth. He has noticed that Xiao Ran is no longer as defensive against her as before, and occasionally jokes. Perhaps this is the proof of gradual change.
In the bedroom, the second old man of Kunlun thought for a long time and said, "The Taoist priest of alchemy should count the Zhiyuan Taoist of the palace, although there was some friendship in the past. It is also impossible to see it in three or five days. Within a hundred miles, there is only one white cloud view. Maybe there are alchemist priests. You can try your luck.
Xiao Ran got up and retreated: "Thank you, senior, I won't disturb the rest of the second elder."
Looking at Xiao Ran's departure, Zhu Tianqi said, "Brother, guess what strange things are going to come out."
Qiu Li's face was cold and said, "This person's behavior has always been unexpected. Why should you worry about him?"
Zhu Tianqi said, "I'm worried about Yaner's future husband."
Qiu Li was stunned and said, "Do you mean the second son of the Wu family or Xiao Ran?"
Zhu Tianqi seemed to think of something and sighed, "You and I grew up watching her and treat her like a biological daughter. Of course, I hope she can find someone she likes to spend her life with. But the Xia family has such a precious daughter. What would you do if you were a general? The Wu family is in the middle of the government and the opposition, and the Xia family is holding heavy troops. It is inevitable that there will be rumors. Isn't the marriage between Xia and Wu both happy? In fact, you also know that if you don't tell me, you usually don't talk much, and you are indeed the most favorite. But think about which one would you choose with Yaner's personality?
Qiu Li's face was cold and said, "This matter has been doomed, and there is no choice!"
Chang'an City, at the feet of the emperor. A prosperous and rich mirror image. There are a flood of traffic on the streets, and the lake is full of paintings and sails. The brightly dressed woman danced in the sound of silk bamboo instruments. A string of big red lanterns hung high in the bow of the boat, and all the lanterns that have not been extinguished mean that there is an empty seat. The largest painting in the middle of the lake is five feet tall and eight feet long, and is divided into three floors. It occupies the most central position of the lake and is also the most eye-catching painting on the whole lake. The hull is painted with red paint, and this series of red lanterns are hung on the ship, fluttering in the wind. Even more than a dozen small painting boats next to it are rare.
There was a humane on the shore: "I don't know who has such a big arm to report this Tianxiang Pavilion, which will cost thousands of taels of silver."
"It's rare and strange. Maybe this is a huge sum of money for us. Do you know who he is? He is..." A man whispered in the man's ear, "Wu Yuxi, the second son of the Wu family!"
When the man heard this, he was afraid that except for the emperor, the martial arts family had the greatest power in the court. Not to mention that the head of the family, Wu Yintang, is the prime minister of the dynasty, and his family is full of peaches and plums all over the world. If Wu Yuxi can't even take out this little money, it is the biggest joke in the world.
A small boat slowly sailed to Tianxiang Pavilion while sleeping, and a ladder stretched out from the painting boat. The body is covered with red silk from foreign countries, emitting a strange fragrance. The heat dissipation slowly came out of the boat, and the leading teenager wore a blue shirt, a goldfish belt around his waist, and a folding fan in his hand. Seven feet higher, the eyebrows are like stars, and the face is like jade. Accompanied by two attendants, he walked to the upper floor of the painting.
A 30-year-old woman greeted her at the door and said with a smile, "Mr. Wu, Miss Shiya has been waiting upstairs for a long time."
Wu Yuxi said, "Aunt Wang, lead the way."
There is only one elegant room on the top floor of Tianxiang Pavilion, which is elegantly decorated, which does not match the luxurious appearance of Tianxiang Pavilion. There is a guqin in the room, with burnt marks at one end. It is the "burned tail" of the guqin, which is gently brushed by a pair of slender hands. The sound of the piano is melodious, the sound of the mountain stream, the sound of birds singing, and the rustling sound of the wind blowing leaves all came to mind.
