Three people gathered around me and saw that I was sweating profusely.
My grandfather said, "I must be having a nightmare."
I swallowed hard and nodded.
My sister-in-law wiped my sweat with a towel.
"I'm bleeding too much, I'm weak, and I'm in a bad mood again.
It's normal to have nightmares.
It's okay."
My grandfather turned to my brother and said, "Wu Guo, go get your brother some boiled water."
"good."
My brother went out and came in with half a bowl of boiling water for me to drink.
Then after taking a few sips, I heard the wailing sirens outside, and my brother went out to take a look.
"It sounded like fire trucks, and there were so many of them.
There was a big fire somewhere."
My grandfather looked at the clock.
It was only around six o'clock in the morning.
Then after a while, my brother rushed in and said to us: "Grandpa, these are fire trucks, several of them, heading up the mountain towards Shangwu Village."
"Is something bad happening again?"
My grandfather opened his mouth and said, "Hurry up and call Lao Chen and ask what's going on."
"I'm already asking."
My brother put his cell phone to his ear, waited for a while and said, "Old Chen, what's going on on the mountain?
Why are there so many fire trucks going up?
What happened around the black smoke stone mountain?"
Shanhuo, okay, okay, we'll wait for your car, eh."
My brother hung up the phone and looked a little anxious.
He said: "Old Chen said that there was a fire in Black Smoke Stone Mountain.
It is located near the Robber Cave and the area is not small.
He said there is a new situation.
Let us go up and have a look.
We will send a message later.
The car will pick us up."
"Okay, this matter on the mountain should be solved.
The longer it is delayed, the worse it will be.
But why haven't the people from the sect arrived yet?
I feel that the two dragon pythons have already distrusted me.
The first time was when you took the old man with you.
When Wang and the others went down to the Robbery Cave, they met Yuelan again.
Long Mang must have thought that I, the Taoist priest of the mountain, was going to rob the ancient tomb with an outsider," Grandpa said worriedly, stroking his goatee.
I feel a little weird.
Although it is a spiritual beast, it is still a beast after all.
It can't be so suspicious.
I said: "Grandpa, I will go up the mountain with you soon."
"No, you have to recuperate at home," my grandfather said non-negotiably.
"I'm fine.
You know, the wound is not deep.
I'm afraid that this matter will have something to do with Yuelan, so I have to go up.

Even if you don't take me, I'll call a motorcycle and follow you up."
I Say firmly.
"You kid, why are you so disobedient?"
My grandfather was very angry, but when he saw that I was determined, he changed his mind and said, "That's okay.
Wu Qing will come up in a while, and you just stay over at our old house.
You My sister-in-law is responsible for watching over you.”
"Okay" I nodded.
Two hours later, we went up the mountain.
From a distance, the entire Smoky Stone Mountain was covered in black smoke.
At this moment, it really lived up to its name.
The fire was under control, but the fire truck didn't have enough water, so we pumped water from the Feng Shui eyes to replenish it.
"When were the wildfires discovered?"
my grandfather asked Xiang Lao Chen.
"At five o'clock in the morning, the soldiers on duty noticed a fire on the mountain and immediately informed me.
I immediately called the fire alarm and then led people up the mountain to put out the fire."
Old Chen, whose face was covered in charcoal black, said, looking very tired.
"Why is it so good?
A wildfire will suddenly break out."
My grandfather frowned slightly and said, "Is there someone smoking and throwing cigarette butts around?"
"No way, it's five o'clock in the morning.
Except for the soldiers on duty, everyone else is sleeping, and the guard is also on duty at the village headquarters.
How could he go to the robbery cave?
Could it be that there are tomb robbers?"
Thinking of this, Old Chen's eyes suddenly widened.
"That's not the case.
The whole mountain is now guarded by soldiers.
No short-sighted tomb robber would commit a crime."
My grandfather shook his head and said, "By the way, you told Wu Guo on the phone that there was a new situation. , what’s going on?”
"Oh, by the way, I almost forgot about this.
Listen."
While speaking, Lao Chen took out his cell phone and pressed it.
A piece of unclear sound was immediately played on the phone.
When my grandfather heard this, he immediately frowned and asked, "When was this recorded and where was it recorded?"
"Just this morning, right here at the village headquarters, it seemed that someone was playing a flute on the Black Smoke Stone Mountain.
After playing for a long time, many people heard it.
I remember that when you went up the mountain to perform rituals, we also heard the sound of the flute.
I thought you were quietly going up the mountain to do something, but after a while, soldiers came to report that there was a fire on the mountain."
Lao Chen said anxiously.
My grandfather thought for a while and then said: "Let's go up the mountain and have a look."
Then Lao Chen also followed us up the mountain, but there was a lot of smoke and there were dark fires in some places.
Then there were soldiers and firefighters along the way, all covered in ash, and they looked like carbon.
"Could it be someone from the master's school?"
My grandfather touched his goatee and said to himself.
"Grandpa, the sound of the flute just now seems to be the same as the one you played before, but it's not clear."
I asked curiously: "Grandpa, what kind of flute is that, and what is the tune you played?"

My grandpa looked at me and then at Lao Chen.
It was obvious that Lao Chen was here.
He was a little hesitant.
I didn’t notice this and felt a little rash, but grandpa took out the jade piccolo from his arms.
He looked at it.
The flute said: "This is called the beast-controlling flute, and the tune is called the beast-controlling song.
It belongs to the master.
The sound of the flute can make the beasts gentle and less irritable.
This is also to subdue the two pythons."
Found old items.”
"Oh" Not only us, but also Lao Chen suddenly realized it, and gave Grandpa a thumbs up and said: "It's really unpredictable."
"There shouldn't be many people who know this beast-taming song.
I wonder if someone from the master's sect has arrived because the arrest failed last time.
I asked people from the master's sect to come down to help, so I came here to take a look."
My grandfather explained. .
"Old Taoist Master, you have put your heart and soul into it and worked hard.
Thank you, Mr.
Chen, on behalf of the country.
When this excavation is completed, I will definitely report to the superiors and ask for your credit."
Lao Chen said, patting his chest.
"That's not necessary.
I just want to finish the excavation as soon as possible so that no more lives are lost."
My grandfather sighed and said.
Lao Chen laughed along with him and stopped talking.
The mountain road around Smoky Stone was originally relatively narrow, but it was blocked by several fire trucks, so we got off the car and walked forward for a while.
The temperature was very high, probably over forty degrees, and it was very choking.
I felt like I couldn't help but want to cough.
Maybe my neck was injured, so it was very sensitive.
After walking around Black Smoke Stone, I didn't see anyone who looked like a Taoist.
I asked the soldiers who put out the fire, and they all said they didn't see anyone dressed as a Taoist priest.
Under the black smoke stone, the burglar's cave was still open, but a cordon was set up around it and it was surrounded by an iron fence as high as a person.
"When was this iron fence put up?"
my grandfather asked, pointing to the iron fence.
"Last time you failed to catch the snake, we had no other way.
We were afraid that the snake would come out and cause trouble again, so we welded this iron fence.
At least when the snake came out, the iron fence would be able to resist it for a while and give everyone some ways to escape.
Time."
Lao Chen said.
Grandpa nodded, and then walked towards the trees that were burned to black charcoal.
He looked at the pile of black charcoal for a while, then reached out to pinch the charcoal, put it under his nose and smelled it, frowning slightly.
Then he walked to me and said in my ear: "Xiaofan, please sense it and see if the Ice and Fire Dragon Python is still under the Robber's Cave."
"Okay."
I nodded, closed my eyes, concentrated on sensing the location of the thief's cave.
After sensing forward for a long time, I finally sensed two groups of light far away from the cave entrance, one orange and one black and gray, but the light was not that strong.
I don't know if I was sleeping or injured.

It is said that the intensity of the two rays sensed is not that great.
"Yes, it's quite inside, but the light isn't very strong.
I don't know if it's because they're too far away, or if they're sleeping or injured," I said in a low voice.
Grandpa took a deep breath and whispered, "As long as you're here, it should be fine."
Then he turned to Lao Chen and said, "Let's go down the mountain.
Don't disturb the soldiers fighting the fire."
Returning to the village headquarters of Shangwu Village, grandpa asked his brother and sister-in-law to clean the old house.
He said that he would live in the old house these days.
According to grandpa's wish, he wanted to wait for the master's disciples here.
He also took a look at the blower.
Who is the dizi man?
I'm actually a bit conflicted.
I don't care about everything on the mountain.
I'm only worried about Yuelan.
I don't know where she is now, and I really don't want the person playing the flute to be her.
But my grandfather’s words almost drove me crazy.
He said: "I was on the mountain just now.
It is inconvenient to say, but after my inspection, I found that the fire was not an ordinary fire, but the fire breathed out by the fire python.
The trees scorched by the fire exuded a smell of python.
This kind of fire Trees that are burned, no matter how slightly, are bound to lose their vitality and cannot survive. " "Grandpa, are you saying that someone used the sound of a flute to lure out the ice and fire dragon python, and then there might have been a big fight.
The fire python breathed out flames, which caused the mountain fire."
I asked in disbelief.
"Yes, eighty or ninety percent of the time this is the case," Grandpa said with certainty.
"Oops."
I slapped my thigh and said through gritted teeth, "Then this person really might be Yue Lan.
Isn't this girl angry with me and unwilling to forgive me, so she came to fight with the ice fire dragon and python?"
"That's not true.
This girl Lan Lan is quite sensible and wouldn't do such a thing."
My sister-in-law didn't believe it.
"When grandpa played the flute that day, there were only three of us and Yuelan present.
Apart from that, no one heard the sound of the flute.
And Yuelan is so smart, she might remember it after listening to it once.
"Secondly, besides Yuelan, who else can have the ability to fight an ice-fire dragon python and escape unscathed?"
I said bluntly.
My sister-in-law was confused, and my grandfather also frowned slightly, clapped his hands and said, "I really don't hope it's this girl.
I already fought the dragon python once last time, and the dragon python has a grudge.
Maybe it's really her this time.
If not, With her words, who could force the dragon python to lose its strength and cause a mountain fire?
The dragon python has been here for hundreds of years, and there has never been a mountain fire, and this time it happened..."
My sister-in-law hesitated and said: "According to what you said, grandpa, it is really possible that she is Yuelan."
"Yes."
Grandpa nodded solemnly and said, "But that's not necessarily the case.
We stayed here to find out the truth.
The flute player might play again, so we have to stay and find him out."
