144 [Fire Phoenix Omen]


In the end, Yin Hou stopped Zhan Zhao, who was using Bai Yutang as a pillow, and asked, "Isn't it just a thunderbolt or a fire dragon and a phoenix?"

Bai Yutang then told him what had just happened.

"The Kid is dead" As expected, Tianzun was also surprised and regretful.

"Oh, my old man is alive and well, he is so young and talented, why did he die."

Tianzun shook his head again and again.

Yin Hou nodded with his cup, "There are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and time is also fate." ” Zhan Zhao asked Bai Yutang in a low voice, "Who?"

"I used to be a master."

Bai Yutang replied.

"Oh" Zhanzhao nodded, "He traveled all the way to send you a letter, is there any grievance?"

"I thought it was some kind of secret or entrustment, but the letter said that I would help him solve a puzzle."

Bai Yutang took out the letter and handed it to Zhanzhao, while briefly telling everyone about the things explained in the letter, "Gao Xie has a friend named Wen Zhang, who is a county official in Maokou County, Hezhou. ” "Maokou County, Hezhou" Bao Zheng gently touched his beard, "I seem to have heard it somewhere." ” "Maokou County" Bao Yan also held his chin and looked at the sky, "It seems to be a little familiar." ” The fourth son was also about to raise his face, but Gongsun stuffed chopsticks and zongzi into his mouth, and asked Bai Yutang, "Hezhou is located in a remote area, and Maokou County shouldn't be too big."

Bai Yutang nodded, "The incident happened five years ago, Wen Zhang sent a letter to Gao Xue, saying that Maokou County was cursed and might be punished by heaven, and asked him to help crack it. ” "Heaven's Punishment" The fourth son held his face, and was stuffed with chopsticks and zongzi into his mouth by Gongsun.

Gao Xie also felt strange, so he rushed to Maokou County day and night.

Bai Yutang said, "But when he arrived, it was just in time for a thunderstorm, and when he arrived at a post station not far from Maokou County, suddenly a huge thunder sounded in the sky.

Gao Xie said that he saw a fire dragon formed by thunder and lightning in the sky, and after that, the whole city was in flames. ” Everyone frowned.

Gongsun touched his chin, "Did the thunder and lightning hit the house?"

"Here's the problem."

Bai Yutang said, "When Gao Xie arrived, he found that the entire Maokou County was in flames. ” "What" everyone was amazed.

"One thunder, the whole county is on fire" Pang Yu was speechless, "What a big thunder this is." ” "It's strange," Bao Yan also wondered, "It was raining so badly at that time, how could the fire be so fierce with such a heavy rain?"

"Gao Xie said that what he saw was a fire dragon, not lightning."

Bai Yutang said.

Zhan Zhao also nodded, shook the letter to show that he also saw it, "Gao Xie emphasized in the letter that he didn't take lightning as a fire dragon, but really saw a fire dragon, and the guys at the post station and several other passers-by also saw it. ” "What about after that" Tianzun was curious, "Is the county seat destroyed?"

Bai Yutang sighed, "Gao Xie said that when he arrived at the county seat, all the houses were on fire inside, and the people in the houses were burned to death, and Xin who fled to the outside was spared. ” When everyone heard this, their mouths opened wide.

"Why is there a fire in the room, but there is no outside" The little fourth son couldn't figure it out, and the grandson couldn't figure it out either, so he continued to stuff the little fourth son with zongzi.

"Strangely, the fire killed people, burned the furnishings inside the room and some trees, but did not damage the house."

Bai Yutang said, "Gao Xie said that after the fire was extinguished, the entire county became a pile of ruins, and the external structure of the house was intact, but the inside was a piece of scorched wood. ” Pang Yu's eyes widened, "This can be done."

Bai Yutang nodded, "The number of deaths counted by Maokou County after that is as high as more than ninety people, most of them were at home before they had time to run out, and the corpses that were burned like black charcoal could not be identified at all. ” "What about Gao Xue's friend," Tianzun asked, "It's the county order named Wen Zhang." ” "It's missing, and the inside of the county government is also on fire, and a charred corpse is found, it should be him."

Bai Yutang said, "After Gao Xie inquired many times, several officials of the yamen told him that the county had not been peaceful before, and people died one after another, and after a period of drought, and insect plagues, most of the people in the county town fled to neighboring counties.

The strangest thing is that Maokou County has no harvest due to drought and flood, while the other county seats, which are only a few dozen miles apart, have a bumper harvest with good weather and good weather.

In addition, Wen Zhang had met an old road passing by before, saying that their county town had been punished by heaven and that they had to leave as soon as possible, otherwise they would definitely suffer a catastrophe. ” Bao Yan frowned, "What did they do, there must be a reason for suffering such a curse."

"Because someone in the county ate a phoenix."

Bai Yutang spoke, except for Zhan Zhao, who read the letter in advance, who was not so surprised, everyone else opened their mouths wide.

"Phoenix" Gongsun jumped up, "There is really a phoenix alive" The fourth son tugged at Gongsun's sleeve and signaled his father to be calm Bai Yutang said, "Gao Xie said in the letter that although Maokou County is remote, it is not poor, because the county produces purple nanmu, so the people who do timber trading are very rich.

Among them is the richest man in the county, surnamed Chen.

Chen Yuanwai's family has a son who is not learned and unskilled, twenty years old, and likes to hunt.

One day, he accidentally saw a giant bird in the forest, which was fiery red, so he didn't think about shooting an arrow down, and when his men picked it up, they found that it was a phoenix.

Someone persuaded Chen Gongzi that the phoenix was a fetish and could not be harmed, so it was better to let it go.

But Chen Gongzi didn't say that it was not in vain to be able to taste the dragon liver and phoenix marrow when he was young, so he slaughtered the phoenix, cooked it and ate it. ” The corners of everyone's mouths twitched.

Pang Yu touched his chin and admired, "This thing is better than my cheat father, why did I really catch the phoenix and slaughter it, do you keep it and keep it?"

"That's right, it's so precious that I ate it" Bao Yan was also very dissatisfied.

"Not long after he ate the phoenix, he contracted a strange disease, and his whole body ulcerated and died."

Bai Yutang obviously had no appetite to eat, "After that, all kinds of disasters began, until in the end, the entire county was burned. ” After listening to Bai Yutang's words, everyone was silent.

"Gao Xie has been investigating this matter in the days that followed."

Bai Yutang said, "I don't know if I don't check, it turns out that there are many villages, towns and even county towns that have been destroyed because of the fire dragon, and the span has lasted for a long time from decades ago to a few years ago. ” Everyone frowned.

"Why haven't you heard of it?"

Gongsun was puzzled, touching his chin, "Is it because the village is deserted, so it hasn't spread?"

"What Gao Xie investigated is that in fact, everything has nothing to do with that Chen Gongzi eating a phoenix."

Bai Yutang said, "The key is in that fiery red phoenix. ” "What's wrong with Phoenix" Bao Yan was curious.

"A bad omen."

Without waiting for Bai Yutang to speak, Lin Yehuo suddenly said, "The fire phoenix is the most unlucky thing in the world."

"The phoenix is the king of birds."

Gongsun was puzzled, "Isn't it an auspicious thing?"

"Caifeng's words are auspicious, but on the contrary, if it's a fire phoenix."

Bai Yutang said, "That is the absolute omen of great evil, the fire phoenix is followed by the fire dragon, in addition to the disaster of disease, it is the disaster of annihilation." ” Everyone frowned, a little mysterious.

"Gao Xie has been troubled by this incident for many years, and in the end he didn't find out what was going on, and his friend died unclear."

Bai Yutang finished the general situation, and finally said Gao Xie's dying request, "He knows that I am in Kaifeng Mansion recently, and he hopes that I can help him solve this mystery." ” "Oh," everyone understood.

"Well, I said."

At this time, Pang Yu suddenly said to Lin Yehuo, who was sitting in a daze, "It's too unlucky to change the name of your hall, it's too unlucky to call it Caifeng Hall, don't call it Huofeng Hall or something, in case it will be destroyed or something."

Pang Yu was just joking, anyway, he didn't have a serious day or two.

But the strange thing was that Lin Yehuo suddenly turned his face to look at him.

Pang Yu was frightened and embarrassed by Lin's eyes at the night fire, "Uh, I'm talking about it."

It's just that Pang Yu hasn't finished speaking, Lin Yehuo grabbed him by the collar and pushed him to the ground and stepped on it.

"Ah" Pang Yu exclaimed, Bao Yan hurriedly dragged him to his side, and asked Lin Yehuo puzzled, "What are you doing?"

Su Qing grabbed Lin Yehuo, but Lin Yehuo shook off Su Qing with a flick of his hand, and wanted to continue to beat Pang Yu.

Where has Pang Yu seen this posture, Bao Yan pulled Pang Yu behind him, blocked him, and reasoned with Lin Yehuo dissatisfied, "Why are you unreasonable, didn't you just say the wrong thing." ” Before he finished speaking, Lin Yehuo's eyes were cold.

But before he could make the next move, someone tapped him on the shoulder.

Lin Yehuo turned back "Smack."

Zou Liang poured a glass of wine on Lin Yehuo's face.

Lin Yehuo was stunned, the wine slid down his face, and Lin Yehuo's terrifying eyes just now changed back to their original appearance, and the murderous aura was gone.

Then, I saw Lin Yehuo turn around and face Pang Yu and Bao Yan.

Bao Yan was nervous, Pang Yu simply hid behind Bao Yan, tugging on his collar to block half of his face and looking at Lin Yehuo.

Lin Yehuo stared at Pang Yu for a while, lowered his head, and said to him, "I'm sorry."

With that, he raised his head, turned around and left.

Bao Yan and Pang Yu stared blankly at Lin Yehuo who walked out of the door, a little unable to come back to their senses.

At the dinner table, everyone also looked at Lin Yehuo's back in confusion, he seemed to be a little abnormal "What's the situation" Pang Yu came to his senses and asked Bao Yan.

Bao Yan slanted at him, "Ask you, who told you to talk nonsense." ” "It's not a day or two that I've been talking nonsense, and I've never seen him lose his temper so much" Pang Yu felt a little scared, and asked, "Guess if no one stopped him just now, would he have killed me?"

"Possibly."

Bao Yan nodded.

Xiao Sizi held his face and asked Xiao Liang in surprise, "What's wrong with Xiao Linzi?"

Xiao Liang frowned, "Well, I don't know, it's rare to see him like this." ” Su Qing wanted to apologize to Pang Yu for Lin's night fire, Pang Yu waved his hand, "It's okay, it's okay, it's my nonsense." ” Su Qing sat down with a frown, obviously worried.

Everyone looked at each other, and the night fire was indeed abnormal.

Zhao Pu held his chin and looked at Zou Liang.

Zou Liang sat back and continued to eat, Zhao Pu kicked him, "Alas, you go and ask what happened to the night fire in Nalin." ” Zou Liang looked back at Zhao Pu, as if he didn't understand why he was allowed to go.

Zhao Pu glanced at the puppy beside him, and continued to pout at Zou Liang, "Go and ask." ” Zou Liang was helpless, put down the cup and picked up the puppy, and went to find Lin Yehuo.

Zhan Zhao held his chin and asked Bai Yutang, "You just asked about the fire dragon, and Lin Yehuo asked you about the fire phoenix, does he also know anything?"

Bai Yutang thought about it, it was a little strange.

"Speaking of which, this government reminds me of what kind of place Maokou County is."

Bao Zheng drank the wine in the cup, put down the cup and said, "In fact, every year, there are some county towns that disappear due to disasters or the migration of residents, and Maokou County did disappear five years ago.

Usually the towns disappear and some local officials are transferred, and every year the government deals with the transfer of some officials.

However, I remember that the officials in Maokou County who were not transferred back then said that the county officials passed away in the disaster. ” Everyone nodded, probably burned to death.

"It's actually quite rare."

Bao Zheng sighed, "I have to investigate how the county official died, at that time, I asked the Hezhou Mansion, the upper level of the county seat, to investigate, and the answer given by the Hezhou Mansion was suicide."

"I didn't mention anything like the fire phoenix and fire dragon," Zhan Zhao asked.

Bao Zheng shook his head, "No one mentioned it, but there was indeed a fire in Maokou County, and I remember that many people died at that time, but then the cause of the fire was unknown, and the case was not closed because of the death of the county master." ” "That's an unsolved case," Zhan Zhao asked, "The case file should be in Longtu Pavilion."

Bao Zheng nodded.

"Let's go find it after eating," Bao Yan asked Gongsun.

Gongsun nodded.

"I'm idle anyway."

Zhao Pu said, "It's better to check it, the phoenix and the dragon have run out, I always think it's funny." ” Zhan Zhao turned his eyes to look at Bai Yutang, and saw that he frowned slightly as if he was thinking about it, so he asked, "What's wrong?"

Bai Yutang frowned and shook his head.

"Because of the death of a friend," Zhanzhao leaned over and asked.

"Uh" Bai Yutang didn't know, in short, there were a lot of things, and Lin Yehuo's reaction also made him a little concerned, he came all the way to the Central Plains, and he always felt that there was a reason. “ "If you really care, it's better to check the things about the phoenix and the disaster, if there is more than one disaster caused by the fire phoenix and the fire dragon, you should be able to find at least some related ones, just start from the county town that is destroyed every year" Zhanzhao winked at Bai Yutang, "Let's go to the Dragon Chart Pavilion to stay there." ” Bai Yutang wanted to laugh when he saw Zhanzhao's appearance, "Don't you hate turning over the file the most?"

"This time and that time" Zhan Zhao sighed and held his chin, "Who told me to be in retreat, Longtu Pavilion is good, and it is pure." ” Bai Yutang shook his head with a smile, and at this time, he heard the little fourth son say, "Zou Zou is back." ” Everyone looked up, wanting to ask Zou Liang if he had heard anything, but they saw Zou Liang walking back with a calm face, drenched from head to toe.

Everyone looked at each other, this is going to the rain and walked around, it stands to reason that there are corridors in Kaifeng Mansion, and there is no rain.

"Hmm" Xiao Liang sniffed closer, pinching his nose, "The smell of wine" Long Qiaoguang and Ouyang Shaozheng slapped him with a smile, "It's been retaliated against, haha, who made you splash other people's wine." ” Zou Liang sighed, sat down and sulked as soon as he entered the courtyard of Lin Yehuo, and Lin Yehuo poured two jars of wine on his head.

Zhao Pu laughed and teased Zou Liang, "You don't have a problem with him." ” Zou Liang took a sip of wine and muttered, "It's not cute at all":
