After killing a ghost and god who controlled the fire, Li Xiuyuan did not pay attention to Cui Wei immediately, but said: "The ghosts and gods here took the opportunity to cause chaos. Let me kill those things and then ask you a question."
As soon as the voice fell, he galloped out on the dragon pony.
Somewhere, a red-robed ghost and god stood in the flames. Before he could react, a sword flew towards him and instantly pierced his chest.
Li Xiuyuan's Tai'a sword is not an ordinary sword. Not only does it contain terrifying gold energy, but it also has the edict of Dongyue Divine Lord on it, making it easy to kill ghosts and gods.
"Damn it, there are two clones here who have been killed by someone. Kill this person and come back to enjoy the incense and the dead souls." Some ghosts and gods roared.
Immediately, the surrounding fires all moved towards the direction of Li Xiuyuan. Hidden in the firelight were the figures of ghosts and gods in fiery red robes. Their expressions and looks were exactly the same, as if they were carved from the same mold.
"Who are you ghosts and gods? How dare you set fire to the capital and take advantage of the opportunity to plunder incense? Aren't you afraid of being punished for such evil deeds?" Li Xiuyuan shouted.
"I am the God of Fire, and I am following the will of God to bring down this fire. Do you really want to stop it?" A ghost in a fiery red robe said angrily.
Li Xiuyuan said: "Every ghost and god in the world flees when they hear my name. Do you, the Fire Spirit God, know me, Li Xiuyuan?"
"No matter who you are, if you hinder me, you should be punished by ghosts and gods." The ghost and god in fiery red robe said.
Li Xiuyuan frowned.
Logically speaking, it is impossible for all the powerful ghosts and gods in the world not to know me. Even if they do, they should have heard of my name. But if they encounter me, even the most arrogant and arrogant ghosts, gods and ghosts will choose to temporarily avoid him, just like the ghost foreman.
In the same way, if he has obtained the divine power of Lord Yan, he can do whatever he wants
You can walk along, but when you see yourself, you have to be a little patient and take a few steps back.
How could there be such a stupid young man who would not only not recognize him but would call him when he saw him?
At this moment, it was not a ghost and god in red robes rushing towards us, but more than twenty of them. They were flying in the air like balls of fire, and when they landed somewhere, they emitted a huge fire. They gathered together.
It's just a sea of fire.
It was as if it was born a fire and there was no way to put it out.
"Since you don't know me, then you should know this." Li Xiuyuan turned his palm, and a golden mountain suddenly appeared.
These ghosts and gods who turned into balls of fire ignored him, still burning fiercely, and then smashed towards him.
Li Xiuyuan's cold light flashed, and with a shake of his hand, a golden light flew to the sky. However, the golden light exploded and turned into an illusory mountain that shrouded it. In an instant, the area near the south of the city was shrouded in golden light.
The mountain falls, unstoppable.
Before the flying fireball could even hurt Li Xiuyuan, it exploded as soon as it was touched by the golden light in the air, just like a spark suddenly bursting out of burning wood.
"Ah~!" There were faint wails and screams from ghosts and gods.
"Go quickly, go quickly, we can't provoke such a spell." In the dark places, there were wild ghosts, Mao Shen, who was so frightened that he trembled all over when he saw this golden mountain. He didn't even have the courage to fish in troubled waters, so he turned around and ran away.
Under the golden light, as the fire ball smashed open, the surrounding fire intensity immediately decreased, and those ghosts and gods in fiery red robes disappeared in an instant. A sweep of the surroundings showed that at least there was no such thing in the range that the eyes could see.
spirits.
Li Xiuyuan frowned as he watched the smell of incense billowing up along with the smoke, but then quickly flying to other directions in the south of the city.
"These are not the only ghosts and gods who control the fire. Sure enough, this is a temporary solution, not the root cause. Even if the fire is no longer controlled by those ghosts and gods, the fire has already become a fire. If it is not extinguished as soon as possible, it will still be very dangerous."
"Drive~!"
He turned back on his dragon colt.
After a while, he went to Cui Wei and asked: "Mr. Cui, the fire in the capital is so fierce, and there are ghosts and gods haunting it. Can you tell me the various reasons? I think this is not as simple as an ordinary fire."
"Back to Master Li, I only know that this fire is related to the Fire Spirit God. Those ghosts and gods wearing red robes and red official hats are all subordinates of the Fire Spirit God." Mr. Cui said: "There was a fire in the capital last year.
, there was the Fire Spirit God causing trouble, but the fire was not as huge and continuous as it is today.
Several streets.”
"Fire Spirit God? Who is he?" Li Xiuyuan said, "I have never heard of him."
He had never heard of this person when he inquired about Monk Kasyapa before.
"My humble guess is that he is a demon from the Wutong Sect." Cui Wei said.
"The Wutong Sect? I just killed a Ghost Foreman, and this Wutong Sect appeared?" Li Xiuyuan frowned: "This is unlikely. Last time I fought with the Ghost Foreman, it is impossible that the Wutong Sect in the capital didn't know about this.
It will take some time for him to restrain himself. Knowing that I am in the capital, he still dares to act recklessly.
Setting fire out of fear is a reckless act, no different from seeking death."
"This subordinate doesn't know." Cui Wei said.
Li Xiuyuan looked at him and said, "Do you really not know, or do you know something that you dare not say?"
"I really don't know that the Fire Spirit God has caused a fire. Every year, there must be a fire in the capital, and it is all related to these ghosts and gods. They eat incense and the souls of the dead in the fire, and use it as food to increase their spiritual conduct. Although the court often suppresses it,
, but the effect is not great, and the south of the city was originally
This is the territory of the ghost foreman." Cui Wei lowered his head and said.
"You mean, I killed the Ghost Foreman, and the power in the capital lost balance, so the Fire Spirit God took the opportunity to seize the Ghost Foreman's land south of the city?" Li Xiuyuan's eyes flashed, and golden light emerged, with a bit of coldness.
"The humble position is just a guess. I never meant to offend Mr. Li." Cui Wei had a trace of cold sweat on his forehead.
The Master Li in front of me can kill ghosts. His ability can no longer be measured by magic and Taoism. He must be a person who can shake the world.
Such a person, coupled with his status as governor, can be said to be very important in the entire Song Dynasty, and he is definitely not something he can offend.
Li Xiuyuan slowly withdrew his gaze: "The fire is ruthless. If the imperial court fails to put out the fire in time, the people will not be able to save themselves. If we look at the trend, the south of the city will be reduced to scorched earth by daybreak. There is only one way to extinguish the fire, and that is to rain.
, as long as the heavy rain comes, the fire can be extinguished, rely on
Killing a few clones of ghosts and gods will not play a key role."
Thinking of the clones of ghosts and gods that were killed before, it only made the fire calm down a little.
After all, water and fire are ruthless, and even if ghosts and gods want to stop it from spreading, they can't do anything to stop it.
"It's true what your Excellency said, this kind of fire can only be extinguished by a heavy rain," Cui Wei said.
Li Xiuyuan said: "What's the news from the court? Is there anyone who can cast spells to pray for rain?"
"The fire is coming urgently. I have sent someone to inform the court, but there is no news yet." Cui Wei said.
Li Xiuyuan's eyes moved slightly.
It stands to reason that the imperial court has the Imperial Preceptor in charge, and it is impossible for the Imperial Preceptor not to take action when there is such a big movement in the capital, otherwise it will easily shake his status as the Imperial Preceptor.
"You go and evacuate the people, I'll go look elsewhere." He waved his hand, feeling that he couldn't ask Cui Wei anything.
Maybe he knows something in his heart but is taboo about something and is unwilling to say it.
In this case, why waste time.
"Drive~!"
Immediately, he rode Longju and ran forward through the streets.
Fires were raging on both sides of the street, and all the buildings were on fire. The merciless fire devoured everything. He could vaguely hear the screams and calls for help coming from the fire, and when he listened again, the screams
And the cry for help stopped abruptly.
Needless to say, I am afraid that someone in an unknown corner or house has been burned to death by the fire.
In this situation, even if he wanted to save people, he was powerless.
Because people died so quickly, even if a heavy rain poured down, it was impossible to extinguish the fire and save people immediately.
And save yourself first when saving others.
I don’t know what the situation in the escort agency is like.
When Li Xiuyuan rushed to the Escort Bureau, he found that the area around the Escort Bureau was crowded with fleeing people. Han Meng was leading the soldiers and the escort chiefs to maintain order, but the fire spreading all around could not get close to the Escort Bureau within twenty feet. The people here were
Everything seems to be protected by something, the fire root
It can't spread.
"It's not that the fire couldn't spread, it's that someone cast a spell to stop the spread of the fire. Who has such a way?"
He glanced around.
Suddenly, he saw the figures of the Eight Great Kings and the Yangtze River King in a fire not far away. They were fighting with several ghosts and gods in fiery red robes, and quickly killed them.
Without the command of those flags, the fire lost its accuracy and stopped spreading.
Even if the fire spread, the Eight Great Kings and the Yangtze River King would blow out cold and moist wind to disperse it, and even the thick smoke would not be enveloped here.
Not only did the King of Yangtze River and the Eight Great Kings ensure the safety of the nearby people, they at least saved the escort agency and gave the people in the south of the city a place to escape. Otherwise, most of the people in this area would probably be killed in a sea of fire.
Just using their Taoism and magic power to protect this place is probably the limit.
If you want to protect a larger place, it will be dwarfed by comparison.
After all, there were many ghosts and gods in fiery red robes who appeared in the flames. If there were too many, they would be overwhelmed and unable to take care of them all. Without the obstruction of those ghosts and gods, they would not be able to protect more than this place.
"Since the escort office is fine, we should start putting out the fire immediately. We have to cast a spell to call for rain immediately." Li Xiuyuan said, not wanting to kill more ghosts and gods who controlled the fire.
Just as he was thinking this, suddenly there was a rumble of thunder in the sky.
In an instant, dark clouds rolled in the sky, as if heavy rain was falling.
Li Xiuyuan believed that the imperial court took action and this matter should be stopped.
But then he saw that under the light of the soaring fire, the condensed dark clouds quickly dispersed. The rain did not form and the heavy rain did not fall.
"What's going on? Someone cast a spell to make it rain but it failed. How is this possible?" Li Xiuyuan's expression changed, feeling that this matter was strange.
After looking at the direction, I immediately rushed to find out.
At this moment.
At the foot of the imperial city, someone built an altar in an attic. A Taoist went up to the altar to cast spells, seemingly calling for a heavy rain to extinguish the fire in the south of the capital.
But when there was a vision in the sky and heavy rain was about to come, the rain clouds were dispersed by the firelight all over the sky and could not rain at all.
Under the altar, the imperial guards stood in awe, prohibiting all outsiders from approaching.
On the side, the Imperial Master was sitting on a futon in the carriage, closing his eyes and chanting sutras. It seemed that he was not nervous about the fire in the capital.
"Guo Zhenren's request for rain failed again." Suddenly, a young eunuch walked up to the carriage, bowed his head and said quietly.
The national master replied: "I have seen that when the fire reaches the sky, it has favorable geographical conditions and disasters. Although ghosts and gods take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble, they are just following the will of heaven. Only when cultivators follow the will of heaven can the magic be effective, and go against the will of heaven.
, was blocked by the number of days, and heavy rain would naturally be difficult to fall. If Zhenren Guo forced the spell
If he does, he will have to pay a huge price, which is hard for him to bear."
"God's will? What is God's will? If the fire cannot be extinguished, is it God's will? If it is extinguished, it may not be God's will. It depends on man. Is this the reason why the Imperial Master did not take action? I think it should not be the case." At this time, a voice suddenly said
Appear.
But he saw a dragon colt instantly jump over the nearby roof and land from Tian'er, past the imperial army and arrive under the altar.
Is Li Xiuyuan here?
The Imperial Master immediately opened his eyes.
"Who is it? Get off your horse immediately, otherwise you will be killed if you break into the altar without mercy." A soldier from the Imperial Army shouted.
"He is Li Xiuyuan, the governor of Yangzhou. Mr. Li, he is here to pray for rain. Put away your swords and guns and don't accidentally hurt this lord," said the Imperial Master.
The Imperial Guardsman was shocked when he heard this, and immediately clasped his fists and said: "I am humbled by my position and I didn't know that you are here. I have offended you so much. Please forgive me."
Li Xiuyuan waved his hand to signal the soldiers to retreat, and then asked: "Who is the Taoist who is casting the spell above? He does not look like a casual Taoist."
"The alchemist enshrined by the imperial court, Guo Zhen of the Alchemy Sect, also prays for blessings and rain on weekdays. Today there is a fire, and the officials have just issued a decree for Guo Zhenren to go to the altar to pray for rain and calm the fire," said the Imperial Master.
Guo Zhen?
Li Xiuyuan took a look at the Taoist. He was indeed a boy with white hair and a face, an ethereal temperament, and the posture of an immortal.
And he is not a charlatan, he is indeed a real person.
The aura exuding is the pure aura of a Taoist cultivator. I wonder if anyone has cultivated the golden elixir path and achieved the status of an immortal?
At this moment, Guo Zhen was holding a magic sword, drawing Taoist talismans, chanting incantations, and with disheveled hair, as if he was a little crazy, like a charlatan.
But Li Xiuyuan saw that the magic sword in his hand summoned the breeze, the spell in his mouth summoned the rain clouds, and the Taoist symbols he drew turned into thunder and lightning. All the rain spells were ready, but when the thunder sounded,
When it was about to rain, it never came.
It seems that there is some divine will to prevent this heavy rain from falling.
