The carriage stopped in a wide area halfway up the mountain.
Feng Tianling wanted to rush down the mountain, but was hugged by Xiao Xiuer, who almost fainted from vomiting just now.
"Don't move. Uncle Jiu and I will go over and take a look first."
Xia Leng didn't know how to comfort people, but he knew that things were definitely not as simple as they seemed, but his mothers had taught him that he should wait and see before everything happened, and never be swayed by emotions.
Xia Leng and Ji Jiu got off the carriage and walked down the mountain road for a while. They found that there were traces of burns on the roadside, and it should be a sudden fire, because both the flowers, trees and insects living in them were
All animals and birds have been burned to ashes.
If it were an ordinary wildfire, at least the birds should have a chance to fly away.
The two barely walked to the edge of the fire. Ji Jiu clearly felt something strange and said to Xia Leng, "Sir, this fire is unusual and weird."
"How to say?"
Although Xia Leng's cultivation level was not low, he was not deeply involved in the matter and his knowledge was not extensive. He did not notice anything strange, so he raised his eyes and looked at Ji Jiu.
Ji Jiu didn't say anything more, just reached into the mountain fire, and then gently picked it out. He actually picked out a small wisp of flame with his bare hands and handed it to Xia Leng: "This is not a natural fire, but a demon fire.
"
"Fairy fire?"
Xia Leng raised his hand and touched the wisp of fireworks. The fire seemed to be alive and retracted directly. He wanted to escape back into the raging fire, but Ji Jiu quickly controlled it with his spiritual power.
The wisp of fireworks showed a trembling appearance.
"Yes, this is demon fire, which is a strange fire made by some kind of monster."
Ji Jiu's face was a little solemn, and he explained to Xia Leng: "It once raged on the Xianyun Continent a thousand years ago. Unexpectedly, it has rekindled. Could it be that the legendary wildfire ancestor has returned to the world again?"
Xia Leng asked: "Who is the ancestor of Wildfire?"
"An old monster."
Ji Jiu looked around nervously and explained softly: "I don't know the specific situation, but there should be records in the Danzhu Pavilion in Lanjing that records the stories of the immortal world. This matter is very fishy. We should report it to the Queen immediately.
His Majesty."
"It should be reported, but it must be investigated first."
Xia Leng did not refuse the proposal, but just continued: "Otherwise, empty words cannot explain the situation. If it is just a coincidence, it will be a waste of their time and energy."
Ji Jiu nodded, and then said to Xia Leng: "Then I'll go check around and see if there are any survivors. Young Master, please be careful."
"Go ahead."
Xia Leng took two steps back and returned to the carriage.
When Feng Tianling saw Xia Leng coming back, she quickly asked: "You..." As soon as she said a word, she suddenly got stuck. She didn't know what to ask. Should she ask whether her family members were okay first, or ask about the extent of the fire?
how.
"The situation is unknown for the time being. Let's wait while Uncle Jiu goes to investigate the situation."
Xia Leng still didn't know how to comfort her, so she had to give Xiao Xiuer a look.
Xiao Xiuer consoled her: "Xiao Ling'er, don't worry too much. Your family will definitely be fine."
At this time, several suspicious-looking people suddenly appeared from the forest, holding swords. They shouted at Xia Leng and the others and asked: "Who are you and why are you staying here!"
Xia Leng raised his eyes and looked at these people, and couldn't help asking: "Who are you?"
"We are knights from nearby. We saw a sudden fire here and came here to check it out."
The man at the head was tall and tall, and he spoke with a loud voice. He pointed at Xia Leng and shouted: "Little baby, I think you are acting suspiciously. Tell me who you are quickly. Otherwise, your Master Liu's knife will not recognize anyone."
of."
"We are just passers-by. We were blocked by the fire and stayed here temporarily."
Xia Leng saw that these people didn't look like good people, so he treated them casually.
The few people looked at each other and discussed in low voices.
"Brother Liu, I think this guy's words are not entirely true. There must be something weird about him."
"The burning of Kamikaze Valley might have something to do with them."
"It's impossible. It's been burning for two or three days. What a hell they can do."
"It doesn't matter if it's related, we're just here to steal the sheep, we don't care what we do!"
"Do you think they are from the Feng family?"
"That's bullshit, everyone in the Feng family has been burned to ashes long ago."
"Then just kill them. There are two girls in the carriage. They are very smart and can be sold for a good price."
"..." Seeing that Xia Leng was young and there were only two little girls in the carriage, these people spoke without any obstruction and were not afraid of being heard.
Feng Tianling listened to their words, and her heart suddenly stopped. This fire has been burning for two or three days, so her family is probably in danger: "Father, mother, I..." "Things may not be what you think. I'm looking for
They will ask about the situation in the valley."
Xia Leng comforted Feng Tianling, and then said to those people: "Come here, I have something to ask you."
That Mr. Liu immediately took two steps forward with the knife in his hand and yelled: "Boy, you are quite crazy. You dare to let Mr. Liu dictate what you do. You are so impatient, aren't you?"
"No need to talk about this nonsense."
Xia Leng was too lazy to waste time with them and asked directly: "How much do you know about this strong wind and the people in the Kamikaze Valley?"
"Boy, you're looking for death, aren't you?"
Mr. Liu was furious immediately. He had never been ignored like this before, especially in front of his younger brothers. He immediately struck Xia Leng on the head with his knife.
Xia Leng just raised his left hand slightly, stretched out his middle and index fingers, and clamped the big knife that he had chopped off.
Mr. Liu was stunned and tried to take the knife back with all his strength. In the end, the knife seemed to have grown on Xia Leng's finger and did not move at all.
"What are you doing standing still? Let's go together and kill this kid."
Mr. Liu had no choice but to yell at the boys next to him.
It had to be said that these so-called knights nearby were probably just petty thieves. Xia Leng didn't waste much effort. He just gave one of them a kick and had them all kneel down and sing "conquer".
"Sir, young hero, please spare your life!"
Mr. Liu was also kicked in the face, his nose was bruised and his face was swollen. He finally learned his lesson and knelt down to beg for mercy.
Xia asked calmly: "Who are you?"
"The little one's real name is Liu Dashu, and his nickname is Cangshan Rat. He is a mountain bandit in this area."
Mr. Liu cried and said: "I saw that the Kamikaze Valley was on fire, and I wanted to take advantage of the fire to rob it, but I was afraid of meeting people from the Feng family, so I only dared to wait outside. In fact, I didn't grab anything, and I even bumped into the young man.
In the hands of the hero.
Please spare us this time. I have a seventy-year-old mother above me and a seven-year-old girl below..." "Shut up, if you talk about such nonsense again, believe it or not, I will cut your tongue."
Xia Leng glared at this man and asked sternly: "Don't think that because I am young, I can be fooled."
Liu Dashu kept saying, "Yes, yes, yes! I don't dare anymore."
"Since you are a bandit on this mountain, you should know something about Kamikaze Valley."
Xia Leng then asked: "Tell me first what happened to this fire?"
"You're talking about this fire."
Liu Dashu raised his head and said with a smile: "Young man really knows some inside information, but what does this have to do with you, young hero? Why do you ask this?"
Xia Leng said calmly: "Just say whatever you ask, otherwise don't blame me for kicking you in the face again."
"Oh, got it, I said."
Liu Dashu did not dare to interrupt any more, and said honestly: "The matter started a few days ago. It seemed that it was the Feng family's birthday, and people from all over the world came to give gifts. I originally wanted to take people to visit him a few times.
, but those who passed by were all powerful people from all walks of life, and I really couldn’t afford to offend them, so I wanted to take a look again, so I sneaked into the valley by the way, hoping to take the opportunity to inquire about the situation and find an opportunity to make a fortune."
Xia Leng listened impatiently: "Don't talk nonsense! Just talk about things related to the fire."
"Yes Yes Yes."
Liu Dashu is indeed a talker, and he usually talks so nonsense to others. Now he is afraid that Xia Leng will hit him, so he has become more concise and straightforward: "About three days ago, a few weirdos came to the valley, saying something like this.
People from the Fire Cult must spread the fire to Uncle Feng.
It seemed that Uncle Feng didn't answer, and then he got into a fight with the group of people.
Seeing that the situation was not good, I stole some things and slipped back into the mountains.
At night, the fire is burning."
"What about the people in Kamikaze Valley?"
Xia Lenghe asked, this is also the question that Feng Tianling is most concerned about.
Liu Dashu frowned and thought for a while, shook his head, but pointed to two people casually: "I don't know about this. You can ask Zhang San or Li Si. They have stayed in the valley longer."
Xia Leng just turned his gaze away, and the two of them kowtowed: "Young hero, spare your life, we don't know. They are all probably dead. There is still a fire burning in the valley, and none of us dare to go there."
Come closer, come closer."
"What a bunch of rubbish!"
Xiao Xiuer couldn't help but cursed.
Feng Tianling only felt a chill in her body, and the unknown feeling in her heart became stronger and stronger.
"If anyone knows anything, please tell me and I can let him go first."
Xia Leng said calmly.
"I, I seem to know."
At this time someone raised his hand.
Xia Leng glared at him: "Say!"
"But, maybe he was captured by those weirdos."
The little thin man who raised his hand said calmly: "Three days ago, in the middle of the night, I was sleeping in a tree and heard the sound of carriages and horses on the road. I was wondering why someone was driving in the middle of the night. I just took a few glances and found that
All the people being transported were coffins, which almost scared me to death."
As he said that, he added: "But maybe not all the people lying in the coffins are dead."
Feng Tianling's eyes became slightly brighter and she couldn't help but look at this person.
"How to say?"
Xia Leng asked.
The man tilted his head and recalled: "I seem to have seen someone running out of the coffin, but he was captured later."
"Where did those people go?"
Xia Leng asked next.
"Go north of Cangshan Mountain, that's the place where... legend has it that there are monsters."
The man glanced in a certain direction, with a hint of fear in his eyes.
"Yunzhou Demon Realm?"
Xia Leng thought of the place that Bai Tianlang once mentioned. It was the hometown of him and Wentian Jun, and it was also the origin of countless demons and ghosts in Xianyun Continent.
It seems that this matter is indeed not simple. Maybe it has something to do with the remnant of Tianjun. We need to inform the Immortal Island as soon as possible.
