Zhao Yuan suddenly stood up and ran towards the outside of the cave. When he reached the cave entrance, he raised his small ink-colored sword and turned it into a stream of light. He flew toward the imperial capital at lightning speed. The moment he came out of the cave, a strong wind swept through him like a hurricane, sweeping away a group of people who were in the process of entering the cave.
The monsters who were waiting for the alchemy furnace staggered around and were so scared that they lost their minds.
It really lives up to its reputation!
All the monsters looked at each other with frightened expressions on their faces.
Zhao Yuan didn't know that the magical power he unintentionally revealed actually had a deterrent effect, and a group of monsters no longer dared to have any objections.
The cuckoo demon who was originally following Zhao Yuan lost sight of Zhao Yuan in the blink of an eye and looked horrified.
The cuckoo demon was trained as a demon from a bird, and flying was her strength. But just now, the cuckoo demon knew that Zhao Yuan’s speed was simply unmatched...
…
Less than a moment after the incense was burned, Zhao Yuan stood in front of Baihua Tower.
Baihua Building, which covers an area of nearly hundreds of acres, has been engulfed in flames.
The soaring fire looked like a demonic energy hovering from a distance, gray and ferocious. When approaching, it seemed like a bloody mouth was coming, with thick smoke and scorching heat, mixed with wanton whistling sounds.
There was also the whistling sound of suffocating gas burning rapidly, as if the heaven and earth were letting go of this gushing explosion.
The raging fire had completely spread, and the entire Baihua Building was shrouded in flames. From time to time, tall buildings were burned and collapsed, and huge wooden beams made thrilling cracking sounds.
In the blood-red night sky, some dust and sawdust were flying all over the sky, like thousands of large and small flying insects having a carnival.
Around the Baihua Building, there were water dragon teams from the Imperial Capital. However, facing the monstrous flames, the water dragon teams were helpless. In fact, because the fire was so fierce, the hot flames made it impossible for people to even get close. It was impossible to talk about it at all.
Not putting out fires.
Surrounded by thousands of people watching the excitement, people were whispering to each other and talking in low voices.
Faced with the burning of the romantic place that had been popular in the Qin Empire for decades, people showed regret on their faces. Of course, there were also people who applauded.
Suddenly, Zhao Yuan saw a familiar face.
Tianji Taoist priest.
The Tianji Taoist priest who had been hanging out in Baihualou for a long time was looking up at the firelight in a daze, holding a green onion pancake in his hand.
"Ah..." Taoist Priest Tianji was startled. When he saw it was Zhao Yuan, he immediately turned around and ran away, as if he had seen a ghost. Unfortunately, he was caught by Zhao Yuan.
"Why are you running away? What did you do?" Zhao Yuan looked murderous.
"Ahem...Brother, please don't frame me. If you give me such courage, you won't even dare to burn down the Baihua Tower. Besides, there are so many experts in Baihua Tower. How can I, a fake Taoist priest who tells fortunes, be able to burn...
…”
"Tell me the situation!" Zhao Yuan pulled Taoist Tianji away from the crowd. When Zhao Yuan knew that Baihua Tower was on fire, he almost intuitively told him that this was definitely not a natural disaster, because although the pavilions and pavilions of Baihua Tower were all made of wood,
But when it was designed, it was considered that if one building was on fire, it would be reasonable, but if all the buildings suddenly burned, it would be considered arson.
"Ah... don't pull me... I'll just follow you..."
Tianji Taoist priest had a sad face. He originally wanted to break free, but Zhao Yuan's palms were like iron pliers, preventing him from making any move.
The two arrived at a dark place, and Zhao Yuan let go of Taoist Tianji. Looking at Zhao Yuan's cold face, Taoist Tianji also gave up the idea of escape.
"Say!" Zhao Yuan's gaze was like a blade, as if it was about to pierce into Taoist Priest Tianji's internal organs.
"I really don't know anything... I... I was just hungry and wanted to buy some scallion pancakes for a midnight snack. You know, when I came back, Baihua Building was burned into a sea of flames..." Taoist priest Tianji showed a trace of his face.
There is lingering fear in my heart.
"There is everything to eat and drink in Baihua Tower, why do you have to go out and buy green onion pancakes?" Zhao Yuan snorted coldly.
"This... big brother... Pindao just wants to taste this."
"Well, since you don't say anything, don't blame me for being rude." Zhao Yuan said gloomily.
"Ah... I said, I said... I said... Brother, you are really a disaster... You killed the emperor... Ah... I said... I said... A gentleman speaks with his words but never with his hands...
I said, I said... I was in Baihua Tower, and when I was bored, suddenly, a fat man in a white robe came. The fat man moved his hands and feet with an extraordinary bearing. Behind him, there were more than a dozen solemn-looking people in black clothes.
Man..."
"Tell me the important point!" Zhao Yuan was a little impatient.
"Pindao saw that the fat man in white robe was very impressive in his gestures. He should be a rich man, so he walked up to chat with him, hoping to make some money...but...but...when Pindao walked over, the fat man glanced at me.
, that look... made the poor Taoist shiver all over, as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, and as if he had entered endless darkness, and then..." Taoist Priest Tianji paused.
"Then what?" Zhao Yuan was very dissatisfied with the long-winded Tianji Taoist priest. This guy might have been telling fortunes for many years and was used to making mistakes. He always paused at critical moments or left suspense.
"Then, Pindao calculated with his fingers, and found that Pindao was going to have a bloody disaster today. Pindao didn't know what went wrong for a while, and he couldn't find a way to resolve it. Moreover, suddenly, Pindao wanted to
Eat scallion pancakes...and then..."
"Then you went out to buy scallion pancakes?" Zhao Yuan snorted coldly.
"Yes, yes, this is how things happened. If one sentence is untrue, Ping Daoyuan will be struck by lightning from the sky, five thunders will strike his head!" Taoist priest Tianji vowed, patting his chest and swearing.
"Well, do those people have any characteristics?" Zhao Yuan felt that Tianji Taoist Priest was not lying. Moreover, although this Taoist priest was a fake Taoist priest, he had been immersed in fortune telling and divination for a lifetime, so he could probably feel the danger.
, so I subconsciously avoided it before the incident in Baihua Building.
"Characteristics, let me think about it... Characteristics... Characteristics are not very obvious... However, their clothes seem to be a little different from those of our Great Qin Empire, but the specific ones are different. Pindao was so panicked at the time that he no longer remembers it.
It's always the kind of difference that can be recognized at a glance... Eh... maybe it's a difference in style. Moreover, those dozen or so people all wear the same clothes, so it's easy to leave a deep impression...
…”
"Is Miss He Ling in Baihua Building?" Zhao Yuan asked.
"This..." Taoist Priest Tianji's expression became heavy.
"Say!" Zhao Yuan felt inexplicably anxious.
"Yes, and...and...when I left Baihua Building, the fat man in white robe went to the room where Miss He Ling was temporarily staying..." Taoist Priest Tianji looked sad.
