Chapter 7 Soul Flame Induction

Hearing the sound, Jiang Jichen looked around and saw a woman in her thirties lying on the ground, clutching the trouser legs of a man of about the same age, crying sobbingly, the man kicked the woman hard, But the woman didn't let go, she looked pitiful to me, all the people passing by showed regret and resentment towards the man, but the man didn't take the eyes of passers-by seriously at all, kicked the woman hard in the street, The woman didn't let go, her face was covered with dust, her mouth was bleeding, and her face was stained with tears, she didn't care.

Jiang Jichen was originally not interested in other people's affairs, and this kind of routine matter is even more common. He turned his head and continued to walk forward, but heard an exclamation from the side: "My God! It's on fire!" Suddenly, There were screams one after another. The crowd who had been watching the excitement just stood a little farther away, but they did not stay away. Although there was panic on everyone's face, no one was willing to step forward to help. Occasionally, someone in the crowd could be heard saying: : "God has eyes, I'm afraid this is the catastrophe this man should have! This is retribution!"

"Heavenly Tribulation?" Jiang Jichen couldn't help being a little interested.He put away the folding fan in his hand and walked towards the crowd. He was already taller, so even standing behind the crowd, he could still see what was going on inside. Seeing that her husband was on fire, the woman cried out to I went to rescue my husband, but the fire on the husband's body was getting stronger and stronger, and it was too late to save him. The appearance of the fire burning was really like a catastrophe, not an ordinary appearance, but within a moment, the man was already burned. It became a pool of dry bones, his whole body was dark, and he fell to the ground stiffly, while the woman on the side looked at her husband's appearance at this time, her eyes were dull, and she could not see sadness or joy.

The people around looked at the woman with sympathy. She lost her daughter and her husband, how should she go on in the future.

Jiang Jichen's lips curled up, as if he was an emotionless person. He pushed aside the crowd in front with his folding fan, walked directly in front of the woman, looked down at her, and said indifferently: "Your girl's matter, you should go Report to the officer, let them help you find the trace."

The woman came back to her senses, looked up at Jiang Jichen in white clothes in front of her, her eyes were red, her face was shocked, but there was no other sadness: "Yes, thank you sir for reminding me." She was about to get up Leaving, but was blocked by Jiang Jichen with a fan, the woman looked up at Jiang Jichen, her eyes flickering: "Is there something else, sir?"

Jiang Jichen threw away the folding fan and gently shook it in front of his chest: "Isn't this eldest sister going with your husband? No matter how bad it is, I'm afraid it's the fate of sharing the same bed for many years."

The surrounding crowd was restless, and everyone looked cynical: "You don't want this kind of man!"

Jiang Jichen lowered his head and smiled: "Could it be that all of this is the result you originally wanted? Or, is it the result you expected?" While speaking, his eyes were fixed on the woman's eyes, "You already knew that today's At noon, your man will suffer such catastrophe, so you deliberately invited these people to testify for you?"

The woman's feet were obviously unstable, and she avoided her eyes with a trembling voice: "You are so strange, I... I can't understand what you are talking about."

Jiang Jichen didn't reply, approached the man who had been burnt, and gently brushed the man's burnt body with a folding fan. On the handkerchief, put away the silk handkerchief: "I'm afraid you have to find someone close to you to report to the official to find a girl. You have to make up for the matter of killing someone for your life."

The woman looked angry: "What are you talking about? Killing and paying for life! He was clearly reduced to ashes in the street in front of everyone, and you can push it on my head?"

The surrounding crowd was agitated, and almost everyone spoke to the woman, and many people testified that they did see the man suddenly burning himself in front of everyone, which was obviously a catastrophe.

Jiang Jichen was not in a hurry, nor was he in a hurry to explain, and waited for the voices around him to die down before he said slowly: "The Hu people have a kind of strange medicine. I heard it is called Hunyanyin. explain?"

Speaking of this, the woman's eyes flickered in panic, but she didn't answer.

Jiang Jichen continued: "This medicine is strange. As long as you apply it on people, if you don't touch any high temperature or open flames, you will be fine. But the temperature has been too high recently, and it may have reached its burning point." Mrs. Xiang's eyes were gentle, "You deliberately used the people on the street to testify for you, and set up the illusion of this catastrophe, just to get yourself off the hook, right?"

The woman opened her mouth: "You're talking nonsense!" She wanted to mobilize the people around her, "I'm a woman, how can I know these things about burning and ignoring people, and if you spit out blood, be careful, I will sue you in the government!"

Jiang Jichen smiled: "It seems that you know that you can go to the government for everything, so why didn't you report to the government immediately after your daughter disappeared?" Seeing that the woman didn't reply, he continued: "Chang'an city is full of fish and dragons, and everyone has it." , you said just now that you don’t know any barbarians? There are barbarians everywhere. This is Chang’an!”

The woman wanted to say something else, but Jiang Jichen spoke first and choked the woman: "Besides, you do miss your daughter, but you are not in such a hurry to find her. A mother is concerned about the loss of her child. The reaction to the matter will definitely not be what you are now, so I have a bold guess—" He looked around, "You should have found her and redeemed her, and, she is now I'm already home, am I right?"

The woman was so angry that her whole body was shaking: "You talk nonsense! What is the purpose? To frame our mother and daughter, so that we will not be at peace?"

There was a burst of exclamation from around: "Mother and daughter? Her daughter has really come back? Then she."

The woman's tears finally rolled down, she stood up, furious: "Can you understand the feeling of being gambled away by your husband? Can you understand the feeling of being beaten by your husband every day? Can you understand that a husband doesn't care about his father and daughter?" Can you use your own daughter to mortgage the gambling money you owe? Can you understand how much effort I have put in to find my daughter? Can you understand? You don’t understand anything, so why are you here to teach others? What are you? thing?"

The woman vomited all her grievances in one go, which was regarded as an admission of her crime of murder, but everyone still sympathized with the woman's experience, but they stopped talking.

Jiang Jichen looked indifferent: "It's your business to meet people who are not nice, but it's only right and proper to kill people and pay for their lives."

The woman's chest was floating up and down, she suddenly pulled out the dagger at her waist, and rushed to Jiang Jichen: "I hate! I hate God for being unfair! Since I can't live, and neither can my daughter, then you" said, put the dagger Stabbed at Jiang Jichen's chest.

Jiang Jichen didn't expect the woman to draw his sword at all, so he had no choice but to dodge subconsciously. Seeing the tip of the knife getting closer, suddenly, a pair of pretty hands lay in front of him, helping Jiang Jichen avoid it. attacked.

Everyone turned around, only to see a well-dressed woman from the Western Regions holding Jiang Jichen's arm. Her whole body seemed to be close to him, her body was as soft as a snake, and she whispered to Jiang Jichen, "I thought you Indifferent to everything."

Jiang Jichen immediately withdrew his arm from the woman in the Western Regions. He remembered that the person in front of him was the one who entered the city the day before yesterday, saying that he was going to perform for the queen. In his own words, all his nerves became vigilant: "Who are you?"

"Didn't we meet before? Have you forgotten? My name is Mina Ning, you can call me Aning." The smile on the face of the woman from the Western Regions was charming and beautiful, making one's heart turbulent.

Jiang Jichen took a step back and bowed to Aning: "Thank you, Miss Aning, for your rescue. I will take my leave."

Jiang Jichen passed through the crowd and left without looking back. Aning stood there, watching Jiang Jichen leave with a charming smile: "What a heartless man, I don't know if the girl likes it He what."
