Demon King's Wife

Chapter 349 Kirin Statue
The fire became more and more fierce, and it was already soaring to the sky. Not only the inn, but also the surrounding houses were tragically involved, and all of them were burned down.

Because it was not an ordinary fire, and it was late at night, it was extremely difficult for people with low cultivation to escape from the fire.However, people in the Xuanling Realm have learned some martial arts since they were young, so that they can gain a foothold in the Xuanling Realm. They are not weak in escaping from danger. They all fled outside and watched the sudden fire. Foggy.

How could there be such a big fire all of a sudden?
Cun Tianfan was still fighting fiercely with Yan Lihuo high in the air, until he found out that the inn was surrounded by raging fire, so he stopped fighting and hurried back to save people.

"Xiao Yi, Xiao Yi..." Cun Tianfan wanted to rush into the sea of ​​flames to save people, but the fire was so intense that he couldn't resist at all, and was directly bounced back by the fire, there was really no way to go through the fire to save people.

Yan Lihuo also knew that something was wrong, and was no longer in the mood to fight Cun Tianfan, so he flew into the sea of ​​flames, and went to look for Yan Yi in the burnt inn beyond recognition.

At this time, the inn had been burned to the point where only half of the frame remained, and there were fires everywhere. If there were still people inside, there was no possibility of survival.

Yan Lihuo felt flustered and extremely guilty. Even though he knew that the possibility of Yan Yi surviving was extremely small, or even impossible, he still did not give up and continued to search in the sea of ​​flames.

How could Xiaoyi's son of the Demon King die so easily?
Even if he is the son of the Demon King, he is still a child after all!

The fire continued to burn, and he tried his best to find it until dawn, when the fire gradually receded, and he walked out of the inn that had been burned to ashes in despair.

Cun Tianfan had been waiting outside for Yan Lihuo, and when he saw him come out, he rushed up, pulled out the skirt of his chest, and asked him angrily, "Where's Xiao Yi?"

Yan Lihuo was exhausted physically and mentally after a busy night, and now he didn't have any energy to fight with Cun Tianfan, so he pulled Cun Tianfan's hand weakly, and replied indifferently, "The answer is so obvious, do you still need to ask?"

"You killed Xiaoyi..." Cun Tianfan was very angry, and after being pushed away, he grabbed Yan Lihuo's skirt again, much stronger than last time, almost lifting Yan Lihuo up , and continued to roar, "He's just a child, do you have any conscience at all? Not even a single child will be spared, you are really cruel..."

Yan Lihuo didn't want to fight with Cun Tianfan at first, but when he heard the unpleasant words, he pushed Cun Tianfan away and yelled back, "If you didn't barge in randomly, would Xiao Yi be burned to death? You killed him!" Xiao Yi, not me..."

"You are justified when you did something wrong. It is a fact that you arrested Xiao Yi; it is also a fact that you set fire to the inn. What else do you have to argue about?"

"If you don't understand anything, don't talk nonsense here."

"I don't need to know about you. In short, I will never let you go. From now on, you can never gain a foothold in the mysterious spirit world. I will make it impossible for you to survive or die."

"That depends on whether you have the ability." Yan Lihuo suddenly shot a fireball at Cun Tianfan, and escaped while Cun Tianfan was dodging.

Cun Tianfan dodged the fireball and wanted to fight back, but Yan Lihuo had already escaped, just as he was about to chase, Ming Zuo envoy arrived and stopped him.

"Little Lord……"

It was this sound that made Cun Tianfan blink for a moment, and when he came back to his senses, he didn't know which direction Yan Lihuo escaped from, and he was extremely annoyed.

Damn, let him run away like this.But there is no one in the world that he is looking for but can't find,

Yan Lihuo fled ten miles away before stopping to rest. He leaned against a tree weakly, slid down slowly, and then sat on the ground, his face ashen ashes, wanting to cry without tears.

Originally, he just wanted to exchange Xiao Yi for Xiao Xi, and then combine the power of Mu Ruoxin and Yan Liheng to rescue Xiao Yi. Who knew such an accident would happen?

In this way, not only the devil hates him, but even Ruoxin hates him too.He killed his son's body, so it's no wonder people don't hate him!

Mu Ruoxin and Yan Liheng chased the Tu tribe all the way, but they didn't see Yan Lihuo on the way, so they planned to wait outside the Tu tribe.

No matter where Yan Lihuo is now, he will definitely come to the Tu Clan and exchange Xiao Yi for Xiao Xi. They just need to wait outside the Tu Clan.

After saving Xiao Yi, she must teach this red-haired monster a lesson.

Everyone was waiting for Yan Lihuo to appear outside the Tu Clan, but they didn't know that Yan Yi was in the Tu Clan right now.

Yan Yi was lying on a stone bed with exquisite carvings. When he opened his eyes, he saw beautiful crystals and shining lights. Those lights emanated from the stones, very beautiful.

"Wow... so beautiful! What kind of place is this? Why am I here?"

He remembered that he was in the sea of ​​fire, but he didn't feel hot or uncomfortable at all, but then he didn't know what happened, he was suddenly very sleepy, and he fell asleep slowly, and when he woke up, he was in this place. strange place.

"Squeak..." Jin stretched on the edge of the pillow, obviously just waking up.When she woke up, she found Yan Yi was beside her, so she jumped into his arms, begging for a hug.

"Squeak..." Master, master, I want to eat roast chicken.

"There is no roast chicken." Yan Yi didn't bother to pay attention to the gold, threw it away, then got up and got out of bed, put on his shoes, and walked around the room, carefully observing the environment here.

This room is all made of stone, very beautiful stone, the bed, table, chairs, pillars and even the roof beams are all carved from stone, there are very few things in the whole room that have nothing to do with stone.

What is this place?There are stones everywhere.

But the stone here is quite beautiful, and the carvings on it are very delicate, as if the real thing is engraved in it, and it is also colored.

After Jin Jin was thrown away, he was depressed for a while, then jumped onto Yan Yi's shoulder, and continued to beg for roast chicken, "Zhizhi..."

Master, master, if you are hungry, you can only roast chicken if you eat roast chicken...

"You know how to eat all day long, but you didn't even know you were almost roasted yesterday?"

"Squeak..." Did it almost get roasted yesterday?That's right, it was almost roasted yesterday, and it was roasted by a huge fire.

Recalling the fire last night, Jin Jin was so frightened that he crawled into Yan Yi's arms, his body was shaking constantly, and he hadn't come out of the fear of the fire.

Yan Yi knew that Jin Jin was afraid, so he didn't throw it away, but simply hugged it in his arms, and continued to look around, just looking around, and didn't touch the things here lightly, no matter how interesting and favorite things he saw do not touch.

Not long after, an old man with white hair came in, with a kind smile on his face, and he spoke kindly as soon as he entered the door, "Son, you're awake! Do you still feel uncomfortable?"

Seeing the old man smiling so kindly and being so amiable, Yan Yi lowered his defense a lot, and replied politely, "Thank you, old man, I don't have any discomfort. Old man, where is this place? Who is it again?"

"This is my home. The folks call me Tu Sanye. Yesterday I happened to go out to do errands, and I stayed at the inn at night. Unexpectedly, there was a fire at the inn at night. I saw you locked in a cage and no one was looking after you, so I sent you away." brought it back."

"That's it!" Strange, why didn't he have the slightest impression of this matter?He was not injured by those fires at that time, and it is impossible for him to pass out, so he should remember everything, why he has no impression of this old man at all.

"Son, what's your name? Who are your parents?"

"I, my name is Xiao Yi." Yan Yi only answered half of the answer, and he didn't say his surname, nor did he say who his parents were, but he wasn't talking, and he could be said to be dubious about the old man in front of him.

Mom and mother said, you can't trust people casually when you go out, and you can't doubt people casually. You must know how to protect yourself. You must not have the heart of harming others, and you must be defensive.

Although he doesn't know whether this old man is good or bad, maybe he is really a good person, but before he finds out the truth of the matter, it's better for him to be on guard.

The grandfather who claimed to be the third master of the earth took a step forward, came to Yan Yi, stretched out his hand and gently stroked his head, and said more kindly: "So your name is Xiao Yi! You are such a well-behaved child, especially It's cute. Who are your parents, can you tell grandpa? Then grandpa will send someone to inform your parents and let them come to pick you up."

"My parents are very busy now, so they probably don't have time to take care of me for the time being. Grandpa Tu San, it's okay, I can take care of myself."

"What a poor child. He left his parents at such a young age and ventured outside alone. Hey... how about this, you stay with Grandpa Tusan first, and let your parents come when they are free. Pick you up, okay?"

"Let me see the situation, thank you, Grandpa Tusan..." Strange, why did he feel that Grandpa Tusan was always staring at the five-colored god stone on his neck?
The Third Master Tu did stare at the five-colored god stone on Yan Yi's neck from time to time, to avoid suspicion, he looked away for a while and then continued to coax the child in front of him, "Xiao Yi, you must be hungry, wait Let me ask someone to deliver the delicious food."

"Grandpa Tusan, why are you being so nice to me?"

"No reason, because grandpa likes you."

"Hee hee! Thank you grandpa!"

"It would be great if I had a grandson like you. Xiao Yi, you don't have to be polite, just stay here and tell me if you need anything. Grandpa will try his best to satisfy you."

"it is good."

"Then grandpa is busy with other things first, you should have a good rest."

"Okay, Grandpa, go slowly."

After a lot of effort, I finally sent this strange grandpa away.At the beginning, he thought this grandpa was very kind and amiable, but later on, he felt that this grandpa had ulterior motives, and that kindness and amiability became more and more false.

In short, I can't trust this person, and I can't stay in this place. It's better to leave early.

But before that, he couldn't scare the snake, otherwise it would be even more difficult to escape.

Yan Yi obediently stayed in the room for a long time, thinking of various escape methods in his mind, but none of them were useful, so he decided to get familiar with the environment here first, and then make other plans.

Yan Yi used the excuse of going out for a walk to secretly familiarize himself with the environment here, but no matter where he went, there were many maidservants and servants following behind, who clearly said they were afraid that he would get lost and led him the way, but in fact they were watching him.

These maidservants and servants are not ordinary people, even if they wear ordinary clothes, it is difficult to conceal their strong martial arts, all of them walk like flying, and their movements are sensitive.

It seems that he has fallen into a tiger's den.

If you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you get a tiger cub... His mother told him this sentence, since he has already entered the tiger's den, then he wants to see what the tiger cub is here?
Yan Yi used all kinds of play as a reason, running around and going everywhere, but many places were blocked, and he was not allowed to enter. First of all, there was a big stone gate carved with a statue of a unicorn, which was not only closed, but also had Ten big locks are locked, and it is a very important place at a glance.

There is a statue of a unicorn beast outside the big stone gate, which is mighty and majestic, and there are guards around the stone gate, and people don't let people approach at will.

The more mysterious the place was, the more Yan Yi wanted to go in. Although the guards refused to let him in, he still refused to leave and stayed where he was asking questions.

"Big Brother, Big Sister, what's in here? It needs to be locked with ten big locks? I think it must be something very important, right?"

"There are indeed very important things in it. Without the permission of the higher authorities, no one can enter casually. Young master, let's go, it is not suitable to stay here for a long time."

"Why? I've seen this thing in a portrait, and I know what it is. It's a unicorn. Why do you put a statue of a unicorn here? Do you believe in a unicorn?"

"This... yes, we believe in unicorns here."

"I heard from my mother that there are indeed many people who believe in unicorns in the human world, but this is the first time I have heard of people who believe in unicorns in the mysterious spirit world! Why do you believe in unicorns? But every belief has a legendary story , Big Brother, Big Sister, tell me this legendary story, okay?"

"This..." How do they answer this?

"Big Brother, Big Sister, can't this story be told to others?"

"This……"

A series of questions stumped many maidservants and servants.It's not that they don't know, it's that they can't talk about it, for fear of bad things if they talk too much, but it's impossible not to talk.

Just when the maid and the servant were in a dilemma, a man dressed in gorgeous clothes came over, wearing a head chain carved from crystal clear jade, he seemed to be a man of some status.

As soon as the man came over, everyone bowed slightly like him.

"I've seen Young Master Li Shi..."

"Don't be too polite." Li Shi responded softly, without any emotion in his tone, making it hard to tell what kind of person he is?Is it indifferent, violent or gentle.

After saluting, everyone retreated to the side one after another to make way.

Li Shi walked through the path made by the crowd, came to Yan Yi, and expressed a little friendship to Yan Yi, "You are the child rescued by the third master of the earth, right? Your name is Xiao Yi, right?"

"Yes, my name is Xiao Yi. Big brother, is your name Li Shi? This name is so strange!" Not only is the name strange, but the person is also strange, and everything here is strange.

He came to a strange place.

"Yes, my name is Li Shi. This is the name chosen by my parents, so it has its own meaning. Xiao Yi, were you just asking why we believe in Qilin?"

"Yes! All beliefs have a story, and I want to hear this story."

"Okay, brother Li Shi will tell you this story. Come on, let's talk as we walk." Li Shi led Yan Yi away, and led him away from the place slowly, diverting his attention with the story in his mouth.

"A long, long time ago, our family encountered a big enemy. This enemy was too strong. We couldn't beat it. The whole family was about to be wiped out. Suddenly, one day, a divine beast descended from the sky and helped us repel the enemy. People who saved our whole clan, since then, our clan has enshrined Qilin as a god."

For this story, Yan Yi didn't feel much after hearing it, and felt that the story Li Shi told was just perfunctory, made up, and used to fool a three-year-old child, it was not a story at all.

Even if he knew it was made up, he couldn't point it out right away. He showed the reaction that a five-year-old child should have, and continued to ask curiously: "Then what happened later? Where did the divine beast Qilin come from?"

"Later it returned to the sky, and has been guarding our whole family in the sky ever since."

Making it up again... "Then, have you ever seen the mythical unicorn?"

"It was a long, long time ago. At that time, my grandpa's grandpa's grandpa's grandpa hadn't even been born yet. How could I have seen the divine beast Qilin. If I had the chance, I really wanted to see it, but I didn't know how Is there any chance in this life?"

"My mother once said that what is created by the city of gold is made by gold and stone. As long as you are sincere, I believe that your dream will come true."

"What you said is not unreasonable. Even the golden dragon beast, fire phoenix beast and white tiger mythical beast have appeared, how could the unicorn beast not appear, right?"

There is something in Li Shi's words, implying various meanings.

Yan Yi was young and couldn't understand so much in his head. Although he only understood the literal meaning, he felt that Li Shi's words had other meanings. He really didn't know how to understand them, so he just returned to being innocent. smile to him.

"Whee!"

Why did this big brother suddenly mention the golden dragon, fire phoenix and white tiger? These three beasts are all at the place of father, father and mother!
It would be great if my mother was here, and I will definitely be able to see through this big brother's lies.

Forget it, he'd better wait and see what happens.

After listening to Li Shi's so-called story, Yan Yi realized that he had returned to his original residence, but on the way back, he didn't notice the surrounding scenery and forgot to remember the route.

It's too bad, if I knew it, I wouldn't have heard any ghost stories.

But he remembered the way to the big stone gate, there must be a secret there, maybe it's the so-called 'huzi'.

"Xiao Yi, it's getting late, children should go to bed early, don't run around at night, you know? Everyone here doesn't know you yet, if you are arrested as a bad person, it will be bad " Li Shi coaxed Yan Yi into staying peacefully in the room, only treating the person in front of him like a child in his heart.

In fact he was a child.

But Li Shi was wrong, Yan Yi was a child, not an ordinary child.

"Brother Li Shi, I understand, I will definitely not run around. What should I do if I am hungry at night and want to eat?"

"There are always people waiting outside, if you want to eat, tell them."

"really?"

"of course."

"Thank you, Brother Li Shi."

"You're welcome." Li Shi touched Yan Yi's head, and when his hand was close to his neck, his gaze involuntarily fell on the Five Colors God Stone, and there was a flash of light in his eyes that he wanted to take it for himself.

Yan Yi saw all these little details, but he just pretended not to, and kept smiling innocently, "Brother Li Shi, it's getting late! What about you, are you going back to rest too? If you have time, tell me more stories."

As soon as the story was mentioned, Li Shi withdrew his gaze, stopped looking at the five-colored god stone, and found an excuse to refuse, "Xiao Yi, I'm sorry, Brother Li Shi has something to do, so I can't tell you the story." Yes. If you want a story, I'll let someone else tell it to you, okay?"

"Forget it, I won't listen to the story, I'm going to sleep."

"Well then, you have a good rest, brother will come to play with you tomorrow."

"Okay." Yan Yi walked to the bed, sat on it, took off his shoes and lay down, closed his eyes and fell asleep, but he didn't feel sleepy at all, his mind was full of that unicorn statue.

His intuition told him that there was a big secret in that big stone gate.He must find out what the secret is.
