Records of Mysterious Things in the Southern Dynasties

Chapter 48: Prosperous and dazed

After the ferry had been gone for a long time, ripples began to appear on the calm water, and their range was far greater than before.

With a loud splash, an eel head as big as a house popped out from under the water!
It was He Bo Tian Liangzi who was visiting the fairyland!
The water fell like rain, Tianliangzi opened his mouth wide, and Ren Yuan was standing on his scarlet tongue!

Ren Yuan covered his nose and smiled bitterly: "Uncle, you are so angry!"

"Otherwise, why would I need to marry so many wives?" Tian Liangzi laughed.

Ren Yuan had long expected that County Magistrate Xie would definitely kill him halfway through.

Although with his current level, it would be difficult for ordinary people to kill him with just a copper head and iron arm talisman...but Ren Yuan was worried that the other side might have a master, or had hidden some killer moves, so he also invited the strongest combat force on his side to protect him secretly.

"They really know how to choose a place. They actually attacked you on the river. If you hadn't stopped me just now, I would have swallowed them up along with their boat!" Tian Liangzi said with great pride.

He Bo was so confident when he was in the water.

"How can that be possible? I worked so hard and endured so much humiliation, just to let the whole village see that Master Xie had left? To let County Lieutenant Xie believe that Xie Cheng was dead?" Ren Yuan jumped onto the eel's head, sat cross-legged and said:
"If uncle kills them, wouldn't that be counterproductive?"

"Okay, that's a bargain for them." Tian Liangzi said and then asked, "Where are we going?"

"Of course I'm going back!" Ren Yuan took out two eggs that were still warm from his arms and felt they were heavy in his hands.

"Okay!" Tian Liangzi was overjoyed, carrying him back and swimming, saying, "Now whatever happens in Xiejiazhuang has nothing to do with you, right?"

"Uncle, you think too highly of them. There must be blank pages in the stack of papers that guy asked me to sign. These are all the leftovers from this young master!" Ren Yuan spat.

"Then why did you sign it?" Tian Liangzi asked.

"Why not sign it? The signature is 'Xie Cheng', what does it have to do with me, Ren Yuan?" Ren Yuan laughed for a while, then said:
"Besides, how can they let me go if I don't sign? How can I deny myself if I don't leave? How can I let them get away with it if I don't deny myself?!"

He spoke each word with gritted teeth, "How can I get rid of the hatred in my heart if I don't let them suffer the consequences?!"

"Haha, good, they have used up all their might, now it's our turn!" Tian Liangzi was also infected by Ren Yuan's high spirits and high spirits, and carried him across the dark river, leaving behind thousands of waves!

Although the strong wind blew in his face, Ren Yuan just felt relaxed all over.

It is true that 'once I escape from the cage, I will fly towards the rising sun like a phoenix'!
~~
Three days later, late at night, Xiejiazhuang had changed its owner.

Xie Ji actually felt a little regretful. When his father returned to the county town, he volunteered to stay, but he didn't expect this rural haunted place to be so boring.

Especially at night, it was pitch black everywhere, and there was not even a place to listen to music or drink.

Fortunately, I have Wu Shi San, otherwise life would be unbearable.

As soon as it got dark and the gate was locked, he ordered his servants to prepare to leave.

Wu Shi San is a very powerful drug. If you don't disperse it in time after taking it, you may even die.

However, this thing has been popular for three hundred years, and a complete set of circulation procedures has long been formed.

The specific steps are just like what Xie Ji is doing now, first take a cold shower, then eat a bowl of cold rice soaked in well water, and then drink a pot of hot wine, this is called "dispersion".

When the intoxication has penetrated into every part of your body, the medicinal properties of the stone powder will be fully stimulated. At this time, you should wear thin clothes as thin as a cicada's wing and take a walk. This is called "walking and walking".

At this time, under the control of the drug, people have entered a psychedelic state, as if walking between heaven and earth, with the self and the object being one, as graceful as a fairy, as majestic as a god... at least they think so.

Xie Ji was wandering around in the yard, feeling ecstatic and blissful, when he suddenly heard someone faintly shouting, "There's a fire! There's a fire!" But he was still strolling in the clouds without reacting at all.

Until I turned around and saw flames rising from the direction of the warehouse...

Mr. Xie was stunned for a moment, but he didn't know what to do.

After thinking for a while, he patted his forehead and said suddenly: "Oh, yes, I should compose a poem for this scene."

Unfortunately, I have limited knowledge and I can't come up with a poem like Ren Yuan no matter how hard I try. After a long time, I can only come up with two lines: "Prosperous, hazy..."

The men were almost going crazy and wanted to wake him up, but the servant who served the young master stopped them and said that people who had taken the medicine should not be touched, otherwise they would bleed.

Everyone could only yell and scream on the sidelines, but Master Xie just kept on giggling. Later, it was the Deputy Master Ji who had opened up two orifices and used his magical power "Thunder Roar" to shout in his ear, which suddenly woke him up.

"What's the matter?" Xie Ji asked blankly.

"Sir, it's bad. There's a fire. The warehouse is on fire!" Deputy Chief Ji pointed anxiously at the flames rising into the sky.

"Why didn't you tell me about such a big thing earlier?!" Xie Ji got anxious when he saw it and his face turned red like a cooked shrimp.

"I have reported it to the young master a long time ago, but he has been wandering around..." Deputy Chief Ji said in a low voice.

"What's the point of reporting to me?" Mr. Xie immediately changed his words and said angrily: "Hurry up and put out the fire!"

"They are putting out the fire, they are putting out the fire!" Deputy Chief Ji replied hurriedly, "Everyone in the village has gone to put out the fire, and they have sent people outside the village to call for reinforcements!"

However, it is the autumn harvest season, the weather is dry, and there is a strong wind tonight. The wind adds fuel to the fire, making it burn more and more vigorously. It is impossible to put it out!
Not only could the fire not be suppressed, it also spread everywhere, from the warehouse yard to other parts of the village...

However, the "reinforcements from the people" mentioned by Deputy Chief Ji were nowhere to be seen. He was still wondering, "Hey, it's been so long, why hasn't anyone come to help? Are the local people so indifferent?"

"Old Ji, don't you have magical powers? Put out the fire quickly!" Master Xie was almost going crazy, jumping and shouting there.

"I'm sorry, sir. I, Old Ji, can't do it." Unfortunately, although Deputy Master Ji had opened two orifices, like most warriors who had opened their orifices, they only strengthened their bodies and increased their martial arts skills, and they didn't have any magic powers at all.

Because the advanced magic skills are also monopolized by the noble families. Even Deputy Master Ji, the confidant of County Magistrate Xie, only knows a few simple self-defense spells. Do you still want to call the wind and rain? Dream on!

As for Xie Ji, like most of the children of aristocratic families, he would rather take powder than take dangerous things like external elixirs.

~~
As a result, the fire burned until dawn and was not extinguished until County Lieutenant Xie rushed from the county town after hearing the news.

"What's going on?!" Looking at Xiejiazhuang which was almost burned to the ground, County Lieutenant Xie was numb.

Xie Ji's face was gray and black, and he cried, "Father, the fire suddenly broke out at night, and the wind was strong, so we couldn't put it out! It burned and burned until it became like this."

"Who set the fire?" County Lieutenant Xie said gritting his teeth.

"I don't know. But someone saw a nest of foxes running away from the yard after the fire. Could it be that a fox fairy set the fire?" Xie Ji guessed.

After a pause, he told County Magistrate Xie an even worse piece of news: "Not only was all the food in the warehouse burned, but even the copper coins in the treasury were gone..."

"Puff!" Upon hearing this, County Lieutenant Xie was struck by lightning and spat out a mouthful of blood.

ps. I will add one more chapter for the Silver Alliance tonight. Okay, I know one chapter is definitely not enough, I will definitely add more chapters after the book is put on the shelves. By the way, it seems that there are still alliance leaders who haven't added chapters for the previous book, come and sign up, and add chapters together after the book is put on the shelves.

Also, please give me a monthly ticket~~~
