The last Onmyoji

Chapter 171 Fire

Fatty said that, although I feel a little inappropriate, you said that place is an important place. When Meng Chang was alive, all his clansmen were not allowed to enter that stone room, which means that this is a very important place in my ghost way. Now, as the head of the Ghost Dao, is it really appropriate for me to bring outsiders in to have a look?
But if you want to say it’s inappropriate, Fatty and the others are one of the few close friends of mine. If I need it, I will come to help immediately without saying a word. They can be regarded as brothers who live and die together. I am already very guilty of hiding something from them. Now if these good friends talk about it and take a look, how can I have the nerve to refuse?
"It's fine if it's inconvenient for you. Fatty, I know the seriousness, so you don't have to feel anything." After the fatty saw his proposal, I kept silent.Knowing that I have difficulties, I said it immediately.

When Fatty said this, my original embarrassment became even more embarrassing. I, Lin Xiaofan, really have no reason to refuse such a friend. What's more, if you show Fatty those things, maybe this guy knows the origin?Don't look at Fatty's foolishness on the outside, his reputation is absolutely outstanding on the outside. The real Ma Zhenren at that time admired him a lot.

"Go, go and have a look, but try your best not to let those villagers know that they are still mourning the loss of the old wizard," I said.

After finishing speaking, I looked at my second uncle. When I made a decision that I didn't know was right or wrong, I hoped that he could give me some guidance, but he just gave me a faint look and said, "You guys go, I'm a little tired and want to rest."

He didn't refuse, it seems that he acquiesced to my approach, and a stone in my heart was also settled. I took the stone girl, Lin Erdan, Hei Sanfatty to the stone house, which is equivalent to taking people to visit my territory , I was also a little inexplicably excited, but before I got there, I saw thick smoke rising from the village, and the villagers shouted one after another, looking very flustered.

"I said, the direction of the smoke is not the place where the wizard lived before?" Hei San frowned and said.

"It looks like it, but it's not right. Why did that stone house suddenly catch fire? And it shouldn't just be such a coincidence." I wondered.But I still panicked all of a sudden, the ancestral courtyard was burned right away as soon as I was appointed as the head, but what to do, we immediately speeded up and ran towards the ancestral hall. The villagers carried buckets like crazy, and ran towards the water basin. When I got excited, I grabbed two people and asked them, but after asking, I found that it was a waste of time. They didn't understand what I said at all. I can't understand them either!
When we got to the place, we found thick smoke billowing from the coffin stone house. Damn it, it’s full of stones, how could it burn? !When I saw Tashi holding a small basin and watering it, I immediately grabbed him by the shoulder and asked, "What's going on?!"

"I don't know, I don't know, it suddenly started burning here!" Aza said to me with a pale face. Seeing his expression, he seemed to be kneeling down. You must know that I am a wizard now, and now I am very not happy.

"Fatty, there are all stone structures inside. Do you think it is possible to burn like this?" I let go of Aza. This is just an ordinary person who can speak Mandarin. If you ask him to death, he can't tell why. Come.Fatty frowned and looked at the room, and said, "The flame is not high, is this flint?"

"But it's not right, even if it's flint, how could it suddenly ignite? Although this kind of stone can burn, its ignition point is not low." The fat man said.

After he finished speaking, he glanced at me. Although I was flustered at this moment, I understood his eyes in an instant. This is arson, definitely arson.And the biggest suspect of arson is Song Zhai's young master!
He's been here, and he's against me again.If not him, who else would there be?

It’s useless to say these things now, we immediately joined the firefighting team. In fact, judging from the current situation, it is useless to have large sprinklers coming over. We wanted to put it out at the beginning, but then the black three directly attacked me Said: "Xiaofan, this house can no longer be kept. Look at those stones, they have been burnt red. The most important thing now is to ensure that the wildfire does not spread. There are towering trees here."

I took a look at the surrounding terrain, and it was really like Hei San said, surrounded by dense forests. In the end, we gave up fighting the fire and asked Aza to tell the villagers to move out all the flammable materials around the stone house. He even brought young labor to make isolation belts to prevent the spread of the fire.

Knowing the direction of the stone house, there was a loud noise. When we ran back to look, we found a huge deep pit collapsed here, and the smoke was still billowing. The villagers seemed to remember that the body of the old wizard was still there. Inside, everyone knelt down and wept bitterly.

After the loud noise, everything became quiet. I looked at the strange stone house that stood up just now. I experienced many things in it just in the morning, and now it is in ruins. It's not a taste, the self-confidence I built up with great difficulty fell apart in an instant, it seems that I am really a waste?Still complacently thinking that he is some kind of ghost master?Now that he just took office, his old nest was directly taken over. What kind of irony must this be? !
Just as I was standing here in a daze, I was a little numb to how the fat man and the others comforted me. I always felt that I was really sorry for Meng Chang by doing this. By the way, I even lost my grandfather's people.

In the end, when everything was settled, I didn't know how I was brought back by Black Three. When I woke up, I found that Fatty and the others were still discussing the fire. They almost agreed that this was the fire. Song Zhai's young master did it, maybe I won this master. Although he is a worthless master, he sounds awesome and makes people jealous.

I regained my composure, feeling that I was so hungry that my chest was stuck to my back after fighting the fire today, and my clothes were already given to Shi Nu, and now I only have a pair of dirty and shapeless trousers, which I took out of my bag. I took one out and wanted to go outside and change it.The stone girl in the room can not care about the hazy, but I can't not care, right?

When I got out of the house, I took out the things in my pocket, but in the flashlight, I accidentally took out a note with a line of crooked words written on it.

"At midnight, I'll wait for you. Aza."

I woke up instantly from that state, when did Aza write me a note?He could slip me a note unknowingly, that is to take advantage of the chaos when it is the most chaotic, I will wait for you, this location should refer to the coffin stone house, but why did he ask me for it?Did this young man see the arsonist, or did he know the location of the arsonist?

You asked me to go to the meeting alone in the middle of the night, it’s impossible, it’s not that I dare not, it’s that I wouldn’t do it, I’ll take the note and show it to Fatty and the others, and I want to hear their opinions, the most important thing is, I can go alone, but a few of them have to follow me to prevent unexpected incidents from happening.

In the end, even my second uncle agreed with my words, let me go first, and they will follow behind, Nima, let me catch those grandchildren, in this place far away from the emperor, we can definitely play them to death, they There are many people, but can they be more than our entire tribe?
After this was finalized, I looked forward to the stars and the moon, and to the arrival of the child's hour. Finally, at about that time, I went out, and the few of them behind me followed me from a distance. Although there was a distance, I believed They can handle emergencies.

Passing through the grove, far away, I saw a black figure, kneeling in front of the ruins, crying bitterly, the scene was really scary, I walked over, in a far away place, He greeted him and asked, "Aza?"

The figure raised its head, knelt down and looked at me, and said, "Yes, it's me."

I was sure it was Aza, so I got rid of the unnaturalness in my heart, walked over, sat beside him and said, "What did you ask me for?"

He said to me with tears in his eyes, "The person who burned this place was actually me."

I was stunned for a moment, was it you who burned the ancestral hall? !

"It's not a joke." I told him.

"I'm serious, I set this place on fire." He cried to me.

I saw his expression, it really didn't look like a joke, I was really shocked and angry, how could it be you?I clenched my fists tightly, but in the end I suppressed my anger and said, "Why did you do that?"

"It was the wizard who asked me to do this. He said that people shouldn't know what happened here." Aza told me.

"What else did he say?" I asked.

"He said that those mummified corpses were all clues found by the predecessors of the past generations. Regarding the clues of Tubo, he also said, let me take you to a place where your opponent has already gone." He cried and said to me.

All of a sudden, I became excited again, but I thought something was wrong, why, why is this?In fact, these words are unnecessary. Meng Chang can tell me directly, and I can understand things. Why did he take such a big turn and tell me through Aza?

"Because I don't lead the way there, you can't find it."

"Because I am considered an anonymous disciple of the master."

"Because the master wants me to stay here and protect it."

Aza said to me slowly as if he had seen through the doubts in my heart.

I looked at him and said, "Guardian? After everyone has left?"

He nodded.
