Not to mention all the children from aristocratic families present, even Miss Zhao was confused. "What is fire?" she asked with great interest.
This stumped the wizard, and the old wizard shook his head, "The specific magic weapon of fire has been lost long ago."
Even the legend about fire has been lost. Currently, there are only some records in the ancient books of ancient places like witch yuan or fairy mountain.
"Most of the legends about fire are related to the origin of the human race." The old priest remembered a few things.
According to legend, there are three kinds of fire, which exist in the hands of the three ancient human races of the Central Plains, Eastern Wilderness, and Southern Wilderness.
According to legend, three ancient humans relied on the fire in their hands to drive away the giants everywhere, thus winning a place for themselves to survive in the wilderness.
However, with the spread of the three major human races and their continuous migration during natural disasters and demonic disasters, the fire gradually disappeared in the long river of history.
So much so that the current human race no longer knows the existence of fire.
The old priest glanced at the city lord, "Ordinary fire may not hurt the gods, but if you use fire to create gunpowder, people will have a sharp weapon against the gods."
As the direct descendants of the ancient human race in the Central Plains, the people of Chang'an City should always have fire in their hands, or at least know the whereabouts of the fire, so they are feared by the gods.
"Unlike cultivation, even ordinary people can control these gunpowders freely, and the rise of the human race will become inevitable." The old priest said.
Therefore, the gods put aside their fear of the giants, stood together with them, and jointly launched a holy war.
After hearing this from Wu Yuan, Miss Zhao touched the wine glass in her hand and fell into deep contemplation.
She didn't know whether there was a fire in Chang'an City. Even if there was, Chang'an has become a lake now, so the fire may have been extinguished long ago.
"Where are the fires in the Eastern Barren and Southern Barren?" Zhou Baichuan couldn't help but asked curiously.
If the fire that is enough to fight giants is kept until now, human beings may no longer need to gather in the city to fear any monsters.
"The source of fire in the Southern Wilderness is unknown." The old priest said sincerely. Si Wu twitched his lips and nodded in agreement.
"As for the Donghuang fire..." He glanced at the girl, "Some people said it was extinguished, and others said it was snatched away by the King of Donghuang."
"Wait a minute." Miss Zhao interrupted him, "King Donghuang appeared in the wilderness not long before the Holy Spirit. At that time, the character-making saint had already created characters."
In other words, if King Donghuang really stole the fire, the records of Taishi City would at least mention the fire.
However, it is obvious that even Taishi City is afraid and does not know the existence of fire.
"It is said that the shrine where the fire was stored was very close to the sea and was later submerged by the tsunami," Si Wu said.
It's good that the King of the East Wilderness appeared in the Wilderness very late, but that's because she had been playing in the sea and came to the Wilderness when she got tired of it.
At this time, Yu Sheng came out with a bottle of wine, and everyone stopped talking about the topic and continued to talk about the planning of Yangzhou City in the coming year.
When I heard that Yu Sheng planned to expand the urban area in Nancheng and turn the river connecting the sea and lakes into an inner city river, not only the Four Families but also the Shaman Academy also became interested.
Everyone talked for a long time, and after they had had enough wine and food, everyone left without saying goodbye, satisfied with the wine and chicken for the rest of their lives.
Yu Sheng also followed his aunt to the City Lord's Mansion, leaving Ye Zigao and the others to clean up the mess in the Star Reaching Tower.
Although it was late at night, the outside of the Star Building was still very lively, especially the two giant lanterns in front of the Star Building, which attracted countless people to stop and watch.
Yu Sheng has made it as small as possible, but the giant lantern made by the uncle is still very big, and an ordinary person standing next to it can only reach the giant's knees.
The giant lamp emits soft light, illuminating the surrounding area.
So the Taoist priest placed his rat play below, where humans were fighting giants and told the story of the origin of the year.
The girl looked interesting, so the two of them stopped there, bought two candied haws, and ate them while watching.
The two giants stood by the lamp, scorning the giants' weakness in the rat play.
"This is simply slander." The campfire giant said, "We giants are all warriors, so we are not so vulnerable."
He wished he could reach out and smash the table where the rat was playing, but there was Guagua standing by. If he made the slightest move, he would be swallowed, spit out, and swallowed again three times to serve him.
This was nothing, what he feared most was the subsequent punishment of starving him. Even the leftovers were delicious if they were made by Yu Sheng. The bonfire giant did not want to starve.
After watching for a while, as the giants were retreating steadily, Yu Sheng and Miss Zhao left the Star Reaching Tower and rushed towards the City Lord's Mansion on foot.
There is an endless stream of pedestrians on the road, especially on Zhangtai Street, and the smell of powder even drowns out the scent of hot food coming out of the stalls on both sides.
The wine shops and teahouses on both sides of the road were hung with lanterns. They were noisy and lively. From time to time, the sounds of drinking orders could be heard, and drinkers were playing drunkenly.
Yu Sheng even saw the three brothers he met at the inn who got into a fight because they were competing to pay the bill. Yes, they fought on the street again because they were competing to pay the bill.
There were also children selling lanterns. Yu Sheng bought two. As soon as he handed over the money, he felt a chill on his forehead.
He looked up and saw snowflakes slowly falling from the dark sky, appearing in the light, and then falling on his shoulders.
"It's snowing again." Girl Zhao sighed.
"Yes, it's snowing." Yu Sheng lowered his head and helped her tidy up her mink fur.
Last year at this time, Lao Yu had just escaped. He and Badou spent time together in the inn. The loneliness at that time came like a tide, but now it is very different.
"Master Yu." Someone called out to Yu Sheng.
Yu Sheng turned around and saw Mr. Wen leading his family over. He was holding a piece of paper in his hand. He smiled happily when he saw that it was indeed Yu Sheng.
"I'm about to go find Mr. Yu." Mr. Wen walked over with a smile and handed the piece of paper to Yu Sheng respectfully, "This is part of the reward."
"If you don't tell me, I will forget about it." Yu Sheng slapped his head and took the bank certificate from Mr. Wen's hand. "You tell me whether you are stupid or not."
"Uh", Mr. Wen didn't know how to answer, so he could only smile awkwardly.
"Young Master saved my little girl's life. How dare you forget this kindness? How can you forget it?"
He gathered his thoughts and said, "But I am really poor, so for the time being I can only repay the young master these things."
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, just pay back the money." Yu Sheng waved his hand and was about to put the bank certificate away when Miss Zhao, who was a step behind, snatched it away.
"I also heard that the Wen family spent all their money to treat their little girl. Now is a difficult time, so there is no need to pay back the money." Miss Zhao handed over the money.
"This..." Mr. Wen was puzzled for a moment.
Miss Zhao continued: "If you feel sorry for yourself, what do you think of this?"
"The Wen family has been in the brocade business for generations. Although the property has been sold off, the experience is still there." Miss Zhao waved the certificate, "The money will be used as our joint venture."
Mr. Wen looked at Yu Sheng. In the street where people were coming and going and snowflakes were falling, he did not recognize the identity of the girl who was quietly staying behind Yu Sheng.
"Well, I never do the tiring job of running a house, so I just listen to her." Yu Sheng pointed at the girl.
