The sky gradually darkened, and the bare branches, swaying under the night sky with their teeth and claws, like a demon crawling out of the cracks of hell, with a large mouth of blood, approaching people step by step.

The officers and soldiers behind him had already lit a fire, each holding a torch in his hand, illuminating the area he occupied.

"Sir, it's not early now, aren't we going back?"

Wu Hao locked his deep eyebrows, his eyes looked into the distance, the scythe-like crescent moon was reflected on the surface of the lake, the breeze caressed, sparkling.

After being silent for a long time, Wu Hao spoke leisurely, "There are many people in this place who have come to fish at night recently, and it is the harvest season, many villagers will be busy, it is already dark when they go home, they will pass by here, and they must urgently make some notice boards to remind them." "

Unexpectedly, this Wu Hao still has this thought, even if it is late now, he is still willing to work overtime to make warning signs, and the local people are blessed to have such a parent official."

Si Twilight smiled heartily, and in the dark night, it seemed that stars fell into his eyes, shining brightly. After seeing too many corrupt officials, it is still very difficult to really meet a good official who can do practical things for the people.

"Sir, do you know where there is a fire around here?"

"Earthfire?" Wu Hao thought for a while, turned around and casually asked the soldier next to him, "Is there a ground fire nearby?"

"Yes, it's about five miles to the west, but the fire doesn't come out often, and you have to try your luck if you want to see it."

When Si Twilight heard the play, he suddenly became interested, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "I wonder if you can take me to see it?"

"Yes."

Wu Hao simply arranged a few words, and also followed, Si Twilight saw that he had been looking at him, and smiled, "Sir, if you have anything to say, just say it!"

"Master, what is the use of you looking for this earth fire?"

This...... You can't say you're looking for sand begonias, right?

So, she casually thought of another reason, "Adults don't know something, the sky is dry, the earth is dry, the fire bred by the mother of the earth is not an extraordinary product, if you can get the fire, it will be useful to deal with the water ghost when the time comes."

Wu Hao exclaimed, "Oh? I didn't expect such a peerless treasure?

Si Twilight sneered, and hurriedly explained, "Peerless treasures can't be talked about, it's just fire Yang, not to mention earth fire?" It is better to deal with evil. "

I still remember that when she was still burning the boiler at the bottom of the lake, all four were women, and a ghost she threw into the fire turned into ashes in minutes.

But alchemy could not lack this kind of good fire source, and the ghost could not touch it, so Si Twilight guessed that the earth fire at the bottom of the lake at that time may have been brought in from this ground by the two human women after being controlled by the mind.

Halfway through, as Wu Hao said, sure enough, some villagers came here carrying agricultural tools, and when they saw Wu Hao, they took the initiative to put down the agricultural tools and salute.

"Hurry up, no need to be polite." Saying that, Wu Hao had already helped the three villagers up, and then asked, "It's already dark, why did you go back so late?"

"Hey, it suddenly rained heavily in the afternoon, lightning and thunder, I couldn't do my job, I couldn't go home, I found a place to avoid the rain, and when the rain stopped, I worked for a while before I came back, and before I knew it, it was dark."

"So it is." Wu Hao nodded slightly, and then instructed, "This place is not very safe, where is your home?" I'll send someone to send you back, right? The

villagers were simple and simple, and when they heard that they wanted to send someone home, they didn't want to trouble people, so they quickly waved their hands and refused, "No need, no need, we still have less than a mile to get home, this road is very familiar, I pass by here every day, it's okay."

Wu Hao opened his mouth, and wanted to say something, but he didn't want to, the three villagers had already left.

Since the people refused so resolutely, even as a Zhixian, he didn't have much to say, and turned his head to look at Si Twilight, "Master, then let's go and see the earth fire, right?"

She waved her hand to stop and said coldly: "Don't use it first, follow the three villagers and take a look." "

What?" Wu Hao's eyebrows were twisted together, a little confused, seeing that Si Twilight had followed, he sighed and followed.

"Master, we..." Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Si Twilight waving his hand, "Don't talk yet, did you find it, the man near the shore walked a little strangely." "

Strange?" Wu Hao looked up, and the man near the shore was thin and small, carrying a hoe on his shoulder and a turban wrapped around his head.

As for walking... It feels as if there is a weak breath, and the empty left hand naturally hangs at the side, and it looks like it is broken. The legs are like poured with lead, and every step seems to take a lot of effort.

Other than that, he didn't see anything out of the ordinary.

As the man walked slower, the other two chatted and did not notice that their companion had fallen behind.

The man who had fallen behind suddenly turned around, threw down his hoe, and slowly stepped into the water.

Si Twilight was startled abruptly, "Quick, hurry up and stop him!"

And the man carrying the hoe, who was confused at this time, he was walking well, and suddenly heard someone calling his name in his ears, looked around, and found a back in the water, walking towards the middle of the lake little by little.

He has been taught by his mother since he was a child that when others encounter difficulties, they must help if they can. Immediately, he threw down his hoe and prepared to pull the man back in the water.

"Hey, that brother, come back quickly!" He shouted anxiously, and the pace under his feet couldn't help but quicken.

Obviously he felt that his speed was already very fast, but he always kept a certain distance from that back, and seeing that person was about to 'kill himself', he was even more anxious in his heart.

But no matter how he shouted, the other party just didn't agree, stiffened his body, and walked forward mechanically. The lake has already flooded the chest of the other party, and if you go a little further, the whole person will sink to the bottom of the lake.

"Brother, don't go, come back quickly!" He shouted as he swam hard.

At this moment, a hand suddenly appeared on his shoulder and squeezed him hard, making him unable to move, "Let go of me, let go of me!" He looked up, and the figure in front of him had gradually disappeared into the water.

"Quick, save people, someone jumped into the lake there." He said hurriedly.

The soldier who held him down looked in the direction of his finger and saw nothing. There was no way, so he could only turn back to Wu Hao for help, "Adult, what should I do?" The man struggled all the time and did not cooperate at all.

"Slap him awake." Without waiting for Wu Hao to speak, Si Twilight took the lead in opening his mouth and ordered.

The soldier turned his gaze to Wu Hao again, after all, he was Zhixian, and they all had to listen to his arrangement.

Wu Hao nodded, "Follow the master's arrangement." "

The soldier who got permission is not polite at all, soaking in this cold water itself is uncomfortable, and he also encountered such an uncooperative 'Diao Min', with his hands full of strength, 'popping' a crisp sound, directly greeted the other party's face, shocking his palms are slightly numb.

The villagers who came to their senses looked stunned and asked, "What about the person in the lake just now?" Isn't there a man over there who wants to jump into the water to kill himself?

The soldier snorted angrily, "Where are the people?" Just you keep rushing to the middle of the lake alone, and Radu can't pull back.

The villagers were startled, and then a chill climbed up from the soles of their feet.
