"Fighting the fire?" Behind her was a sea of orange-red fire, and in front of her were the bathtubs and buckets brought by Xie. A burst of sadness came over her, and Hua Fan felt that her only IQ had been teased.
"You mean to use these things to fill water to put out fires?" Hua Fan asked Xie again in disbelief. Of course, Xie couldn't hear.
"I said..." Before she could say anything, there was a "bang" and several fireballs exploded out of the sea of fire, rushing straight towards the open space by the river.
Hua Fan pulled the ferocious tail and ran towards the river. The river water soaked her shoes and socks, and the old man pointed at her nose and cursed angrily.
He couldn't care much anymore, so Hua Fan had no choice but to carry a bucket in one hand, filled it with water and flew towards the sea of fire. He closed his eyes, pretending not to see the huge contrast, and poured down the two buckets of water with a swipe.
The water entered the sea of fire, and as Hua Fan expected, it was evaporated by the flames and turned into a burst of white smoke before it arrived. Hua Fan quickly turned back, changed the bucket into a large bathtub, and filled the bathtub full of river water. His arms
It couldn't bear the weight at all, so it could only barely move by relying on the wind brought by its giant wings.
When she flew back over the sea of fire with difficulty, she was stunned by what she saw. A clearing appeared in the middle of the sea of fire. Black smoke was rising in the clearing, but there was no trace of fire. It was obvious that the
All the fires were put out.
"Is it the two buckets of foot-washing water just now?" Hua Fan completely doubted his own IQ and quickly dumped the water in the bathtub.
When she came back with another full bathtub, most of the fire had been extinguished. Huafan poured down the last bathtub with a feeling of almost admiration, and flew back to the open space by the river in a daze.
go.
The old man has returned to his human form. He is sitting on the bank of the river, surrounding the small bonfire that Huafan originally lit. He is smoking a hookah. The sea of fire has turned into ten miles of scorched earth, and choking black smoke is flying.
It rises, blocking the bright moon, and the bright moon west becomes the dark night west. Without the beautiful scenery, it feels a bit eerie.
Hua Fan also sat down next to him, and his wings, which were so blackened by the smoke, dropped charcoal residue all over the floor.
"This water is so magical." Hua Fan exclaimed. Look carefully at the water in the river. It is so clear that there is no debris, not even fish. It actually glows with a faint blue light under the firelight.
"Why can it put out the fire so quickly?" Hua Fan asked curiously.
The old man still smoked the hookah very calmly and didn't answer anything. He didn't care about Hua Fan's curiosity at all. I don't know if it was because he was deaf or just too lazy to pay attention to her.
"Who told you about this place?" the old man asked.
"Ah...well...I'm lost." Hua Fan began to lie.
I don't know if the old man is deaf or simply doesn't believe it.
"Why did he ask you to come to me?" Xie asked.
"Who? I don't know him." Hua Fan continued to act stupid.
"Not many people in the world know this place," the old man said.
Hua Fan: "Who knows?" She wanted to confirm who was the person who gave her the battle report.
Xie: "Everyone who knows this place should be dead."
Hua Fan: "..." [Everyone who knew this place was dead], she felt like she was staying in a black shop.
Hua Fan couldn't explain it clearly anyway, so he had to tell the whole story about the purpose of his trip.
"I want to ask for your help. I wonder if you know that there is a war in the world, and I want your help." Hua Fan said. In fact, she didn't know why the guy who sent the war report had to come here by herself.
Hey. Will the old man’s old bones really help the battle?
The old man didn't know whether it was because he was deaf or simply didn't want to go, but the loneliness of living alone for a long time still made him open up his chat box.
"The person who knows this place is your father." He said slowly.
"Huh?" Hua Fan was still unfamiliar with the word father. "My father has passed away a long time ago." She said casually. Then she reacted and looked into her hideous eyes and asked: "How do you know my father? You said
Is it Tang Zhong?"
Her father had actually been to this place? Hua Fan suddenly became more curious about this place.
"When did he come here? Do you know him? What did he say?" Hua Fan broke the casserole and asked.
The old man didn't know whether he was deaf or didn't want to answer, so he continued to follow his own train of thought and said: "There are only three people who know this place, two of them have passed away, and only the old man is left."
Three people, that is to say, in addition to Xie and his father, there is one person. The remaining person must be the guy who sent him the battle report. At the very least, he should have something to do with the guy who sent him the battle report. Hua Fan thought
.
"Who is the third person?" Hua Fan asked.
"They have all passed away. There is nothing more to ask. It's all old news..." The old man finally answered this time.
"Is there anything special about this place? What are you doing here?" Hua Fan asked.
"Five-color edict." Xie's answer was very concise.
"Five-Colored Zhao?" It seems that this place and those three people are all related to the Five-Colored Zhao. Therefore, the person who gave him the battle report probably asked him to come here to explore the Five-Colored Zhao's affairs, instead of going to fight with the enemy.
She recalled that when she was in King Yan's old house, Xie was seriously injured and once told the story of his lifelong search for the Five-Colored Edict. He was loyal to the old King Yan and had been searching for the Five-Colored Edict all over the world, and finally found it outside the Great Wall.
When Wu Color Zhao came back with Wu Color Zhao, King Yan had already passed away for a long time.
Beyond the Great Wall... She couldn't help but think of her own family, the Tang family. The Tang family has been guarding the Great Wall for generations. So the old man said that he found the Five-Colored Edict outside the Great Wall. Maybe there is a possibility that his Five-Colored Edict was passed through
The Tang family found it.
But how to explain the old story about the Tang family being exterminated? Many years ago, Yan Honglei once told her that Tang Zhong found the Five-Colored Edict outside the Great Wall and went to Chang'an to present it to Shangguan Jinnian. Shangguan Jinnian killed her father because of this.
Tang Zhong silenced... Thinking of the family feud, Hua Fan felt his heart twitch again.
But Shangguan Jinnian did not get the Five-Colored Edict. Although Hua Fan didn't know the reason, Shangguan Jinnian did not get the Five-Colored Edict at that time, so after he killed Tang Zhong, he returned to Liangzhou City to continue looking for the edict.
, the edict was not found, but the young girl was brought back to be raised as a cat...
Hua Fan seemed to have found a suspicious point in the matter, that is, why did the five-color edict in Tang Zhong's hand disappear inexplicably? How did it finally fall into Xie's hands? What kind of secret is there behind this?
