You cultivate immortality, I cultivate merit

Shi Zelan nodded repeatedly: "Now the city lord is a decent person, and his subordinates follow his example. The atmosphere is very good and it is suitable for living."

After Shi Xiaoliu and the other two talked for a while, Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu returned to the top of the mountain, while Shi Zelan stayed at the wind outlet.

The night wind was blowing, and Shi Zelan vaguely heard some noises. She just lay down, and the earth was very quiet.

After Shi Zelan released his spiritual sense, he saw that the area near the City Lord's Mansion in the city was on fire.

Shi Zelan passed the message to Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu, and they quickly rushed to the wind outlet.

Shi Xiaoliu said to Shi Zelan and Xia Yu, "I will stay here to guard the wind outlet, and you two can go into the city."

Shi Zelan and Xia Yu immediately left the wind outlet. They were very fast and arrived at the city gate and saw the disciples of the Dharma Hall.

The three of them looked at each other and the closed city gate. Shi Zelan whispered, "Are we still going in?"

The disciple of the Dharma Hall took a step back and said, "I'm not going."

Shi Zelan and Xia Yu said to him, "Junior brother, please go back to the other side of the river first. We will stand outside the city for a while."

The disciples of the Dharma Hall left quickly. Shi Zelan and Xia Yu floated up the city wall and quickly entered the city.

After the two of them entered the city, they found that the people in the city were already trying to save the burning yard.

Shi Zelan and Xia Yu looked at each other and did not move forward, but mixed in the crowd outside.

"This is the home of Lord Zhou Fuyuan, an official in the City Lord's Mansion."

"You must have remembered it wrongly. I heard that subordinates usually live with the city lord in the city lord's mansion?"

"That's right. Lord Zhou Fuyuan is an official favored by the city lord. The city lord has granted permission for his family to move out of the city lord's mansion."

"Alas, if they hadn't moved out of the City Lord's Mansion, the fire might not have started today."

"Everyone please step back, and all irrelevant people should go home."

Shi Zelan and Xia Yu looked around and sat directly on the roof of a nearby house.

The fire went out and the crowd outside the yard dispersed.

"Alas, no one survived. How deep is this hatred?"

"Mr. Zhou's family is usually very friendly. Who did they offend?"

"I think the person who set the fire must still be in the city."

"Not necessarily. A martial arts expert, flying around, must have gone far away by now."

The government officials were checking the situation in the yard at this time. They looked through it for a while and shook their heads at each other.

"No signs of arson can be found for the time being."

The government arranged for people to guard outside the gate of the courtyard, and specifically instructed them: "If there is any movement, you must guard the gate of the courtyard and not let anyone leave."

Shi Zelan and Xia Yu heard the noise below, and Xia Yu whispered, "Let's go."

The two of them returned to the wind tunnel. Shi Xiaoliu saw them and sighed, "You said earlier that there was nothing exciting to see in the city, but now there is."

Shi Zelan and Xia Yu sighed, “We don’t want to see such excitement.

We would rather watch the fun of stealing and cheating, which doesn’t make us feel good. "

Xia Yu told Shi Xiaoliu about what happened in the city. Shi Xiaoliu frowned and said, "Destroy the whole family?
This is a life-and-death feud, what do you think, officials? "

"It was too dark, so the government arranged for people to guard the front and back yards, and also ambushed people in the yard."

Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu did not go back to the top of the mountain. Shi Zelan let them go and she lay down again to listen to the noise underground.

After Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu saw this, they lay down and listened to the noise.

"Sister Lan, I can't hear any difference."

"Yes."

Shi Zelan said to them, "When the courtyard in the city was burning, I vaguely heard some movement below, so I used my spiritual sense to see what was happening in the city." After Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu looked at each other, Shi Xiaoliu said to Shi Zelan, "I will go into the city tomorrow to see what is happening."

After Shi Xiaoliu finished speaking, he started meditating and practicing. Xia Yu followed suit. Shi Zelan went to stand at the wind outlet and then walked back.

Later, she also meditated and practiced. When the sky brightened, she opened her eyes and Shi Xiaoliu said to her, "Sister Lan, Xia Yu and I have gone into the city."

"it is good.

You go ahead.”

After Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu left, Shi Zelan noticed that the wind had weakened a lot, so she followed the wind and walked into the center of the wind outlet.

When she squatted down to look at the ground, she saw a protrusion at the corner. She reached out and pressed it, but it ended up pressing another hole in the corner.

Shi Zelan's heart sank as she thought of the fire burning in the city. After she followed the wind out, she hurriedly sent a message to Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu.

Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu received the news from Shi Zelan. They went into the city, saw the burned yard, and quickly left the city.

There were many people like them coming into the city, so their actions were not very noticeable.

Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu looked around the city gate, then squatted down at the city wall and looked at it for a while.

Then the two men stood up with unhappy looks on their faces. They turned around and saw three officials standing behind them.

"What are you looking at?"

Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu pointed to the ground and said, "The color here is wrong."

The three officials listened to what Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu said. Two of them squatted down and looked for a long time, then said, "There's nothing wrong."

Shi Xiaoliu sighed, “When I passed by here a few days ago, there was a lot of grass on this land.

I came here today and saw that the land was darker and there was less grass.”

Xia Yu added, "Besides, there is a lot of grass in other places, but there is less grass in this area."

The standing official listened to what they said, then he squatted down, took a careful look, and said to the other two officials, "Check the ground and the city wall carefully."

He looked at Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu: "I haven't seen you before?"

“Sir, we mountain people will not go into the city unless we are selling herbs.

We originally wanted to go into the city to sell herbs, but halfway through, we heard that the city was on fire, so we sent the herbs back and hurried into the city to see what was going on. "

"You have entered the city?"

"In.

Hey, sir, has the arsonist been caught?"

The official looked at them seriously and said, "Show me the household registration card."

Shi Xiaoliu took out the household registration card and showed it to the official, saying, "Sir, can we go into the city to sell herbs tomorrow?"

“Yes.

You guys go away, there's nothing to do, don't talk nonsense outside."

"Yes, sir, we don't talk nonsense outside."

Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu turned and walked away, still feeling someone following them.

They could only walk towards the household registration place, turning around and around on the path, and finally got rid of the people following them.

They returned to the wind outlet and listened to Shi Zelan's description of the situation at the center of the wind outlet. The three of them hurriedly followed the wind into the center of the wind outlet.

Shi Zelan pointed to the pit at the corner and said, "The ground here is a little protruding. I reached out to smooth it out, but it ended up making a pit."

Shi Xiaoliu stretched out his hand to touch the ground, leaving a palm-sized mark on the ground. (End of this chapter)
