Being fooled by fierce beasts to travel through the beginning is fleeing famine

Qingyan heard the shout because of her good hearing, but others couldn't hear it, so everyone walked at a leisurely pace, and the other people in the front yard didn't make a fuss.

When Qingyan heard the sound, she immediately used her consciousness to detect it and found that there was a fire in the wing room where the monk lived in the backyard.

She took a closer look at the room closest to the wall where the fire should have started. After a while, that room was almost burned.

At that time, the houses were all made of wood, and only the foundation below was made of masonry, so they burned very quickly.

The side room was not like other courtyards. There was a courtyard wall in the middle. They were built one after another, so the whole camp was on fire at once.

Fortunately, there is an open space between the monks' wing and the pilgrims' courtyard, and the wind direction is northwest, so until everyone found out that they started fighting the fire, they were not affected.

Qingyan took Li Muxue with one hand and Wang Qingyue with the other, and accelerated her steps.

Turning back to Xue Huan'er and Mrs. Wang, "I seem to hear some voices, and I don't know what happened. Let's go quickly, lest something really happens, and the chaos will be washed away."

Although several people didn't know why, they subconsciously followed and walked a few steps quickly.

Mrs. Wang walked all the way from the back to the front yard, she was sweating a little on her forehead, her body was really weak.

Fortunately, there were two servant girls supporting her, one on the left and the other on the right. Before, they were just leaning on them lightly, but now they have almost put half of their body weight on the two servant girls.

When they arrived at the side door where the carriage was parked, someone shouted in the front yard.

There is no need for the people behind to pass on the news, the smoke and flames over there can be seen in the front yard.

Although there is a lotus pond in the backyard, there are not many people in the backyard after all. The pilgrims rest in each yard, and the monks mostly do ceremonies and lectures in the main hall in the front. There are really few people fighting the fire in the back.

In addition to controlling the burning to the side of the fasting room, several trees next to the wing room were also set ablaze, and even the two wing rooms of the abbot in the back were also burned.

There is no way, the wind here in the northwest is too strong, there are usually level [-] or [-] winds, especially on the top of the mountain, the wind has to be level [-] upwards, the wind will increase the intensity of the fire, this is not just talk.

Fortunately, the burning wing is in the south. The wind blowing now is from the northwest, and there is a high probability that the wind direction will not change, so we have been controlling it there, otherwise the entire Qingyuan Temple will probably be burned down.

Even if they don't extinguish it, the wing rooms where the monks live will be burned, and the trees in the back will probably have to be scrapped.

It was also because the trees in the back were all on fire and the height was much higher than the wing, so we could only see clearly from the front yard.

In addition, the thick smoke also rose, and almost everyone who saw it found that something was wrong. There was no way, there was a tall hall in the middle courtyard, and there was also a hall in front of it. If it wasn't for the smoke, I really couldn't see it.

When they first arrived at the place where the carriage stopped, the coachmen of each family stood on the shaft of the carriage and looked back.

The three grooms from the Wang family and the Li family jumped down immediately when they saw their master, all with relieved expressions on their faces.

Hastily stepped forward and said: "Madam (Master) (Miss), is there a fire in the backyard? We are still discussing whether we should go to meet him."

Li Hanyun, Xue Huan'er and Wang Qingyue both waved their hands. They quickened their pace just now, and now they were walking a little wheezing and panting. They stopped for a while to catch their breath.

Xue Huan'er said: "Let's not waste time here, get in the car and leave quickly. It's okay now, but I'm afraid it won't be easy if everyone is in a hurry to go down the mountain."

The few people stopped talking nonsense and got into their carriages directly. The coachman also rushed the carriage out of the temple gate as soon as possible.

Staying here for a while, I am afraid that there will be too many people to squeeze out. Although the mountain road down the mountain has no cliffs, if there are too many people, it is easy to bump into it, and you will be injured.

Seeing this, the coachmen of other families ran back one after another, ready to remind their masters, don't just watch the fun, it's important to escape.

If the fire cannot be extinguished, there may be a wildfire on the mountain. There are no green trees on the mountain here in winter, and it will burn at any point.

Although Qingyuan Mountain has a water source, it can only stop the fire for a while, maybe it would be good to keep half of the mountain top.

Qingyan looked behind her with her consciousness. The fire was indeed quite big now, especially because the sparks were blown by the wind and flew over the temple wall, landing on the branches outside, and now igniting several trees outside. up.

Qingyan thought for a while, she didn't know who started the fire, and she didn't know what the purpose was, but if it really caused a wildfire, none of them could run away.

So she directly said to Chou Chou: "Can you help control the fire, at least extinguish the flames that are escaping, otherwise the people above may not be able to escape."

Chouchou agreed, and immediately extinguished the fire on the several trees that were lit. It didn't use water, but directly wrapped the flames with its spiritual consciousness, just like blocking the air, and it naturally went out.

In the eyes of outsiders, they would think that it was because the wind was too strong, and they directly blew out the fire again.

The other one didn't burn up before, just a little spark, so it wasn't that obvious.

After that, Chou Chou stared directly at that side, as long as the fire jumped out of the wall, it would be extinguished, and it could be regarded as temporarily controlling the momentum.

Qingyan probed into the courtyard of Vice General Wang with her spiritual sense, and now there was only Vice General Wang in it. There was a fire outside, not far away, but he just stood in the courtyard and watched, did not come out to fight the fire, nor did he leave. I don't know if he was watching or the fire had something to do with him.

While Chou Chou was controlling the fire, he said to Qingyan: "Didn't I keep staring at those two people, I was just knocked out and taken away from the house that was burned first."

Qingyan raised her eyebrows, "He was taken away? Where is he now? Is he still in the temple?"

Chou Chou: "Yes, it's over there in the third fasting room, but the woman was gone before, and now several people are searching inside, and I don't know who it is."

Qingyan thought for a while and asked: "Is there anyone inside who is wearing a blue dress and looks four or five points similar to Vice General Wang? A melon face with Chinese characters, big eyes, a little protruding."

Chou Chou: "Yes, yes, is this someone from Deputy General Wang?"

It was busy staring at those two people before, but when Li Hanyun went to find Deputy General Wang, it didn't pay attention there, so it didn't see Wang Kaiyuan.

Qingyan explained to it: "That man is Vice General Wang's nephew, his name is Wang Kaiyuan. He should be the one who led people to arrest them. I described their appearance to Li Hanyun, and now he should be going to arrest the prison general." Madam.

They should have set the fire, but I don't know if they were preparing to lure the snake out of its hole to attract the attention of these people, or if they were trying to cover up something.

I may not be able to see the situation on the mountain after a while, so just keep an eye on it and let me know if there is anything new. "

They are now on the mountain road. When they came out of the temple, the temple fair outside was still going on, and no one had noticed what was going on inside the temple. But after they walked for a while, they heard more and more noise from behind. The bigger it is, the bigger it is, it is estimated that it has also been discovered, and it is packing up the things on the booth.

Don't say they are ruthless and didn't notify these people in advance.

Xue Huan'er and the others may have simply not thought of it, or they may have remembered it and couldn't leave for fear of causing chaos.

Qingyan knew that Chou Chou could control the fire and would not hurt so many innocent people. After that, they would just be in chaos for a while, and when they found out that the fire hadn't burned out, they would definitely split into two waves.

One wave is busy running away, and the other is the more enthusiastic people who should help put out the fire. There is strength in numbers. If more people are saved, the fire in the temple will be controlled soon.

And Deputy General Wang is still inside, if he really set the fire on, I believe it shouldn't get out of control.

When they walked for an hour and arrived halfway up the mountain, Qingyan could no longer see the scene above.But you can see the crowd who are falling behind and squeezing down the mountain.

Those who were walking felt that the mountain road was too crowded and walked directly through the woods. Now the people who came down were scattered in a fan shape.

Qingyan didn't find the lady in the third room in those carriages. She didn't know whether she left or was controlled by others. Anyway, she didn't find any trace of her.

Of course, it's also possible that the other party had already left before. After listening to what she said to the fake monk, she stopped paying attention there, and she didn't know when she disappeared.

It doesn't matter, anyway, I already know the other party's identity. Unless she never goes home again and disappears, otherwise, she can be found as long as the other party goes back.

She heard from Xue Huan'er that the wife of the prison general had two children, and she believed that as a mother, she would not disappear easily, even if it was for the sake of the children, there was a high probability that her children would not be involved.

As for whether the prison general knows the details of his wife, or if he is an accomplice, then it will be up to Vice General Wang to investigate further.

They walked for another hour, and when they reached the bottom of the mountain, they could see the crowd going down the mountain with the naked eye.

The thick smoke on the top of the mountain can also be seen, and it is thicker and darker than before. After asking Chou Chou, I found out that the fire above has almost been extinguished, so now is the time when the smoke is the biggest.

Because it was discovered relatively timely, there were no casualties, not even a single person was injured, only a few rooms and trees were burned down.

Oh, and the lotus pond was almost wiped out, and many of the fish in it suffered, and were directly thrown into the fire together with the water. Chou Chou said that it should be quite fragrant, because there are a few firefighters Swallowing while splashing water.

The abbot of Qingyuan Temple and the man with the scar in his room have also been brought under control, and now they are all tied up to Deputy General Wang, and now his yard has the most people.

It and the few suspicious people that Qingyan found, except for the lady, are all arrested and taken to the yard now.

In addition to those few people, there was also a group of middle-aged men who seemed to be the subordinates of Deputy General Wang, and they all had a soldier's temperament.

Qingyan can be sure that the lady left early, and it is estimated that there is no need to stay there after completing the task.

She should have gone up the mountain alone without company, and no one would pay much attention when she left.

Xue Huan'er could see the thick black smoke on the mountain through the window of the carriage. She cast a questioning look at Qingyan, and Qingyan nodded invisibly towards her.

Xue Huan'er sighed and said thoughtfully: "Today is really an eventful day."

By this time, they had reached the bottom of the mountain, and the road was much wider. Of course, the three carriages did not walk side by side. After all, there were people coming from the opposite side from time to time, and they couldn't block the road.

So they marched vertically in a row, with Wang's carriage in the front, theirs in the middle, and Li Hanyun's in the back.

After they walked for a while, they walked out of the range under the mountain, and stopped when they reached a flat open space, preparing to rest for a while.

There is a tea shed in front of this place, which should be newly built in the past few days. It is dedicated to providing tea and resting places for people going to and from the temple fair. There was also a tea shed in the village at the foot of the mountain before, but it is estimated that there will be more people in a while, so they are not there. That stays.

This side is two or three miles away from the other side. People who come from afar will also rest here. After all, I don’t know if there is any free space in the village. After going up the mountain, there is no tea on the mountain road to the top of the mountain. .

They had walked down the mountain for more than two hours and were already thirsty and tired. They had reached the limit of their endurance.

It was such a coincidence that I met the wife of the prison general.

Because Qingyan kept looking behind with her spiritual sense and didn't pay attention to the front, so she really didn't find her in advance.

I didn't expect that the other party was drinking tea here. I don't know if he just went down the mountain one step ahead of them, or if he was sitting here waiting for someone. It was possible anyway.

Qingyan didn't pay attention to whether there was a carriage in front of her before, so it was hard to say when the other party was here.

When they arrived, Qingyan directly found a place to sit down with Li Muxue and Li Hanyun.

Because Mrs. Wang didn't go out much, she didn't know many people, so it was normal not to know this person. Wang Qingyue and Xue Huan'er came up to say hello. They had met many times at the prefect's place, so it was unreasonable not to say hello when they met.

Qingyan observed that person with her spiritual sense, seeing that the other person's expression did not change, she responded very naturally, the other person didn't know that they already knew her identity, so it was normal to be so calm, even Xue Huan'er surprised her, and she was able to keep her expression unchanged Talking and laughing happily with the other party, he is indeed a person who has seen the storm.

She didn't know that Xue Huan'er thought the same way. Seeing Qingyan's calm expression, she nodded in her heart. She really deserved to have traveled all over the world, and she was very calm at such a young age.
