The flames all over the sky rushed up to the sky, and there was a crackling sound of burning trees around my ears. The dark sky was red by the fire, as bright as day.

The buckets in the hands of the little monks rushed into the fire continuously, and everyone was restless. A fire made everyone in Xiangfo Temple sleepless.

"What's going on? Why is it burning?"

Mo Rongrui and others all rushed over, looked at the fire all over the sky, looked dignified, and hurriedly arranged the people around him to put out the fire.

"King Rui, you'd better go back first to avoid injury. The spread of the fire is still very dangerous!" master Chunyi frowned, looked at Xia Qiu Ju Shian and others standing behind him, and hurried to speak.

After all, they are all royalty and rich in the capital. If something really happens here, I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain.

Here, Wang Qing and Chu Li's eyes, hiding in the corner, were cold, but their bodies were trembling. Looking at the fire not far away, their lips were trembling slightly.

"Didn't we put out the fire?" Wang Qing's face was pale, her black pupils were illuminated by the fire all over the sky, trembled slightly, turned her head and murmured next to Chu Li's ear.

Chu Li looked at the look in front of him. Some trees were burned down by the fire in front of him. Then he looked at the green land under his feet and disappeared without a trace. He suddenly clicked in his heart.

"It's gone, and I had a special look before I left." the picture of this afternoon came to my mind. She and Wang Qing finished eating fish and handled everything. There was absolutely no spark left.

But now looking at the fire all over the sky, I suddenly heard what I heard the night before yesterday.

In a moment, Chu Li sneered, turned his head and looked in the direction of Xia Qiuju. Looking at the half face reflected by the fire, he could not see worry and timidity. It seemed that there was a trace of pride in his eyes looking at the fire.

"I don't think it's too big!" Chu Li snorted coldly, rolled up his sleeves and walked towards the mountain forest.

Wang Qing saw that she turned and went to the mountain forest. It was a fog at one end. She shouted over there, "where are you going? It's the back mountain. You don't know the way!"

He shouted and hurriedly followed up. Mo Rongrui behind him frowned. Looking at the figure of Chu Li, he hurriedly followed up.

"What are you doing? Hurry back. The fire is too big. Go back to your yard!" Mo Rongrui, who followed Chu Li's footsteps, grabbed her arm and scolded her.

"What are you doing? The fire is too big and the water can't be controlled at all. If you want to put out the fire quickly, let half the people dig and cover it!" Chu Li shouted, looking at Mo Rongrui standing next to him in the light of the fire opposite.

Wang Qing was delighted when she heard her words and hurriedly said, "I'll go, I'll go now!"

Come on, turn around and run out again.

"What's the matter with the fire? What did Wang Qing say to you just now?" Murong Rui frowned and took her arm and supported it on the next tree trunk.

The cool moonlight on the top of the head beat down from the gap between the leaves, and the fire on the opposite side made them hit their shadows on the ground.

Chu Li looked at Mo Rongrui's worried face and slightly frowned sword eyebrows, took a breath and said in a deep voice: "It's a long story, but someone is doing us. After a while, someone will definitely say that they have seen us in this place. Wang Qing and I roast fish here in the afternoon, but I guarantee that the fire has been extinguished, and I find some abnormal places in the temple. It's not so simple."

"I know what you said. Now hurry out with me. The fire will burn here!" he said, and hurriedly took Chu Li out.

The fire burned all night and was finally extinguished. The early sky was filled with black smoke. The lush hill yesterday was very desolate and dark into everyone's eyes.

In the hall, all the people of Xiangfo Temple stood in neat rows. Master Chunyi and master Jingxin stood in front. The bell ringing of getting up early in the past can no longer be waited today. The Golden Buddha statues in the hall are still amiable, but the atmosphere is condensed together now, and no one dares to gasp.

"How did the fire in the back mountain burn? No arson in the mountain, don't you all know?!" master Chunyi's voice was deafening, his slightly white eyebrows wrinkled together, and his kind eyes became extremely sharp, like the eagle in the air that day, and the Buddha beads hanging in his hands were still rotating.

The young monks below are all dark faced. They didn't sleep all night. After putting out the fire, they were called to the hall.

"Who was on duty last night! Come out!" master Chunyi swept everyone below one by one, finally put his eyes on a little monk and scolded him in a deep voice.

Next, a young monk who was only a teenager came out of the crowd trembling. His cheeks were dark and he couldn't see his original skin color.

"Master, yesterday... I don't know who set the fire yesterday, nor how it started. Moreover, I haven't seen anyone to go to the back mountain since yesterday afternoon." the little monk looked up and stammered, looked up at master Chunyi and said.

Arson in this mountain, whoever was on duty yesterday, must be involved in his responsibility.

As soon as his voice fell, before master Chunyi could speak, he saw the meditation master standing next to him, his face was dignified, his eyes seemed to see him through, and he scolded in a low voice: "you said you never saw anyone in the past again! Who did you see in the afternoon!"

Master Chunyi sighed, still turning the string of Buddha beads in his hand, looked at the little monk and said again, "who went to the back mountain yesterday afternoon?"

There was silence in the hall. Wang Qing, standing on one side of the crowd, jumped with a bang in her heart. She looked up at Chu Li and didn't know whether to stand up.

"I, I see... I see..." the little monk stammered, turned his head and looked at the direction of Chu Li and Wang Qing, but he didn't say it.

Seeing Chu Li standing up, he strode to master Chunyi, followed by Wang Qing. They both looked at master Chunyi and said, "master Chunyi."

"Master Chunyi, we two went to the back mountain yesterday, but we just breathed in the pavilion and looked at the scenery. Moreover, it was not dark when we came back. Both the Royal King and Wang Hao can testify to us."

Chu Li's face was dignified, and his voice was neither humble nor overbearing. When he spoke, his eyes firmly looked at master Chunyi, and there was no timidity at all.
