A knife in love

Chapter 3419

Seeing the rising flames, Li Qiufeng was terrified and uneasy, not knowing what happened.At this time Murong Danyan also opened his eyes, seeing a huge flame appearing in the sky, he was as frightened as Li Qiufeng, he couldn't help but rubbed his eyes vigorously, and looked to the sky again.After a while, she turned her head to Li Qiufeng and said tremblingly, "Brother Li, do you believe that there are gods in the sky?"

Before Li Qiufeng could answer, a flash of light suddenly appeared in front of his eyes. He was startled, and hurriedly closed his eyes, only to see the flame of the huge "candle" in the sky rising instantly, and then there was a loud "bang" in his ears. There was a loud noise, and the ground trembled violently.Seeing this situation, Li Qiufeng's heart brightened, and he thought to himself that the dazzling light that flashed just now was the fire light in the sky.And the reason why the ground trembled non-stop was caused by this loud noise.Presumably there was a big explosion in the distance, and the flames rushed into the night sky, shaking the earth and trembling.Looking at the situation in front of me, the explosion was earth-shattering, and I don't know how much gunpowder was burned.But where did Fusang, a small barbarian country overseas, get so much gunpowder?If the Fusang Kingdom could obtain so much gunpowder, it would definitely be able to manufacture many bird guns and cannons, and it would not be difficult to attack Daming.

Thinking of this, Li Qiufeng became more and more horrified, his eyes fixed on the huge fireball in the sky, the corners of his mouth twitched a few times, and he couldn't speak for a while.At this moment, all the people of Fusang knelt on the ground and kowtowed desperately to the fireball in the sky.Someone kowtowed and muttered something, not knowing what they were muttering.Li Qiufeng took a look at the crowd, and thought that the Fusang people were afraid when they saw such a strange situation, so they knelt on the ground and begged for the gods to bless them, but they didn't think it was strange.

At this moment, Ye Fengchun ran to Li Qiufeng and Murong Danyan, looked at the flames in the sky, and said, "It turned out that the fire from the earth erupted, no wonder those animals ran away like their lives!"

Li Qiufeng and Murong Danyan were startled when they heard what Ye Fengchun said, and they said in unison, "Earth fire?"

Ye Fengchun nodded, and said in his mouth: "I have lived in Fusang country for more than ten years, and I have seen fires erupting from the ground several times, but the scale is not as large as this one. It is said that Fusang country is isolated overseas, suspended in a On the back of a huge catfish. The catfish offended the gods in the sky, and was chained in the sea by the gods, and could not move easily. But the catfish was not convinced, and often struggled hard. Whenever it could move a little bit, the Fusang Kingdom would Earthquakes occurred, the earth shook and trembled, mountains collapsed, lakes overflowed, and rivers flowed backwards. I don’t know how many people suffered because of this. But the catfish still has many holes in its body, and fire can be emitted from the holes. It’s just that every time it sprays After the fire, it has to accumulate for tens of thousands of years before it can spray flames again. Whenever the holes in the catfish’s body emit flames, the mountains on the ground will be melted by the flames into a stream of fire, rushing from high to low, like a flood Wherever it passes, people are devastated, everything is depressed, and it is extremely severe. It is said that before the holes in the catfish's body emit fire from the ground, there will be many strange phenomena, such as the sky turning blood red, and a strange smell diffused, etc. The beasts inhabit Between the mountains and fields, the ears and noses are much more sensitive than humans, so before the fire erupts, they can often detect it and escape from the dangerous place in advance to avoid disaster."

When Ye Fengchun said this, he paused for a moment, and then continued: "Those beasts ran away just now, probably because they sensed that the earth fire was about to erupt. Although I have seen the appearance of earth fire erupting before, but the scale must It is much smaller, and I have never seen the scene of wild beasts escaping with my own eyes. I didn’t even think about the eruption of the ground fire. After the fire erupted, the nearby rocks, sand, and trees would melt and turn into a stream of fire. The high place flows to the low place. The place we are in is a dry river, and the fire will flow through here in all likelihood, so we must leave here as soon as possible and go to a high place to hide!"

After hearing Ye Fengchun's words, Li Qiufeng had no objection. Seeing Ye Fengchun take his assistants to pack their bags and urge the people of Fusang to prepare to leave, he and Murong Danyan hurriedly led the mounts and waited for everyone to set off together.While everyone was busy, there were two earth-shattering bangs in the distance, and the flames kept rising into the air.After that, there was no more loud noise, and the burning flame seemed to be much weaker.But countless streams of fire flowed from the air to the ground, which was extremely terrifying from a distance.

After everyone packed up, Ye Fengchun personally brought a few assistants to lead the way, and led the crowd to the northwest.The place where the ground fire erupted was far behind everyone, but the flames were burning in mid-air, and the surrounding area was illuminated like daylight.Murong Danyan led the horse and followed the crowd, and kept looking back. Seeing the bright light all around, she couldn't help but said to Li Qiufeng: "The place where the earth fire erupted must be on a high mountain, otherwise the flames would not burn. Like a huge candle, it can illuminate the sky and the earth so brightly."

Li Qiufeng nodded after hearing what Murong Danyan said, and said in his mouth: "When I was in Middle Earth, I never heard of any earth fire eruption. The Fusang Kingdom is isolated overseas, and there are strange things everywhere. I don't know. What strange things will happen in the Hanshan fishing village."

Hearing Li Qiufeng's words, Murong Danyan's heart moved, and he suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said to Li Qiufeng: "When the earth fire erupted just now, those Fusang people knelt on the ground, kowtowed and chanted. The situation is very strange. .Most likely they knew about the eruption of the earth fire, so they prayed so devoutly to the heavens for help from the gods."

Li Qiufeng thought about how the people of Fusang were kneeling and begging just now, thought for a moment, and said, "Maybe they were scared and only wanted to ask the gods for help, so they knelt down and kowtowed, muttering something."

Murong Danyan shook his head, and said: "Although those Fusang people were flustered just now, they are not frightened by their appearance. They are far less frightened than when they saw snakes, tigers and other wild animals. Most of them have hidden secrets. ..."

Before Murong Danyan finished speaking, she suddenly heard the sound of horseshoes behind her, her heart trembled, she hurriedly shut up, turned around and looked behind her.At this time, although the flames from the ground fire had weakened a lot, they still illuminated the sky and the earth very brightly. I saw a horse galloping forward, only a few tens of feet away from the crowd.Li Qiufeng and Murong Danyan were taken aback, and couldn't help but stop.The Fusang people walking beside them did not stop, but still walked forward quickly.After a while, the horse had already rushed to Li Qiufeng and Murong Danyan, but the rider on the horse was a fellow of Songhe Tower.Seeing Li Qiufeng and Murong Danyan standing there, the waiter hastily reined in his mount, got off the saddle, bowed his hands to the two of them and said: "Little man Jiang Xian, I pay my respects to Uncle Li, Miss Mu."
