Finally, Mr. Yin stopped Zhan Zhao, who was shaking as a pillow, and asked, "Isn't it just a thunder? What kind of fire dragon and fire phoenix?"

Bai Yutang then said what had just happened.

"Boy Gao Xie is dead?!"

As expected, Tianzun was also very surprised and regretful.

"Oh, I, the old man, live well. He is so young and talented, why did he die?" Tianzun shook his head repeatedly.

Mr. Yin nodded with his cup, "There are unexpected changes in the sky, and the times are luck and fate."

Zhan Zhao asked Bai Yutang in a low voice, "Who?"

"I used to be a master." Bai Yutang replied.

"Oh..." Zhan Zhao nodded, "He traveled thousands of miles to send you a letter. Is there any injustice?"

"I originally thought it was a hidden truth or a request, but... the letter said that I would help him solve a puzzle." Bai Yutang took out the letter and handed it to Zhan Zhao, and briefly told everyone about the things explained in the letter. "Gao Xie has a good friend named Wen Zhang, who is a county magistrate in Maokou County, Hezhou."

"Maokou County, Hezhou..." Bao Zheng gently touched his beard, "I seem to have heard it somewhere."

"Maokou County..." Bao Yan also held his chin and looked at the sky, "It seems to be a little familiar."

The little Sizi was also ready to raise her face, but Gongsun stuffed chopsticks into her mouth, and asked Bai Yutang, "Hezhou is located in a remote place, Maokou County should not be very big, right?"

Bai Yutang nodded, "The incident happened five years ago. Wen Zhang asked someone to send a letter to Gao Xie, saying that Maokou County was cursed and might be punished by God, so he asked him to help crack it."

"God's punishment?" Xiao Sizi held his face and was stuffed with chopsticks and rice dumplings into his mouth by Gongsun.

"Gao Xie also found it strange, so he rushed to Maokou County day and night." Bai Yutang said, "But when he arrived, it happened to be a thunderstorm. Just when he arrived, he rushed to a station not far from Maokou County, a huge thunder suddenly sounded in the sky. Gao Xie said that he saw the thunder and lightning in the sky formed a fire dragon, and then the whole city was filled with fire."

Everyone frowned.

Gongsun touched his chin, "Did lightning strike the house?"

"The problem lies here." Bai Yutang said, "When Gao Xie arrived, he found that the entire Maokou County was trapped in the sea of ​​fire."

"What?" Everyone was surprised.

"A thunder, the entire county town is on fire?" Pang Yu was shocked, "What a big thunder."

"Strange!" Bao Yan also wondered, "Is it very raining at that time? Why is the fire so fierce as such a heavy rain?"

"Gao Xie said that he saw a fire dragon, not a lightning." Bai Yutang said.

Zhan Zhao nodded, shook the letter paper and signaled that he could see it, "The Gaoxie letter emphasized that he did not use lightning as a fire dragon, but he really saw the fire dragon, and the staff at the post station and several other passers-by also saw it."

"What after that?" Tianzun was curious, "Has the county town been destroyed?"

Bai Yutang sighed, "Gao Xie said that when he arrived at the county town, all the houses were on fire, and everyone in the house was burned to death, so Xin was spared from the difficulty of escaping outside."

When everyone heard this, they opened their mouths wide.

"Why is the room catching fire and there is no outside?" Xiao Sizi couldn't figure it out, and Gongsun couldn't figure it out, so he continued to stuff rice dumplings to Xiao Sizi.

"What's strange is that the fire burned people to death, burned the furnishings and some trees inside the room, but did not damage the house." Bai Yutang said, "Gaoxie said that after the fire was extinguished, the entire county town became a pile of ruins. The exterior structure of the house was intact, but there was a piece of scorched wood inside."

Pang Yu opened his eyes wide, "Can this be done?"

Bai Yutang nodded, "The death toll counted in Maokou County has reached more than 90 people, most of whom did not have time to run out at home, and the corpse that was burned to black charcoal cannot be identified at all."

"Where is that friend of Gao Xie?" Tianzun asked, "It's the county magistrate named Wen Zhang."

"It's missing, and the county corpse is also on fire. He should be him." Bai Yutang said, "After Gao Xie asked many times, several yamen runners told him that the county had been unhappy before, and people died one after another. After a while of drought and insect disaster, most of the people in the county fled to the neighboring county. The strangest thing is that Maokou County has no harvest in drought and flood, while other county towns, which are only a few dozen miles apart, have good harvests. In addition, Wen Zhang had met an old master who had passed by, saying that their county town was punished by heaven and had to leave as soon as possible, otherwise they would definitely suffer a catastrophe."

Bao Yan frowned, "What have they done? Will they be punished like this? There is always a reason?"

"Because someone in the county ate a phoenix." Bai Yutang said, except for Zhan Zhao who read the letter in advance, everyone else opened their mouths wide.

"Phoenix?" Gongsun jumped up, "Is there really a Phoenix? Live?!"

The little Sizi grabbed Gongsun's sleeve and signaled his father to calm down!

Bai Yutang said, "Gaoxie's letter said that although Maokou County is remote, it is not poor. Because purple nanmu is produced in the county, the families who do wood trading are very rich. Among them, the richest man in the county is Chen. Chen Yuanwai's family has an ignorant young man. When he was young, he liked to hunt. One day, he accidentally saw a giant bird in the forest, which was fiery red. So he didn't even think about it and shot it down. When his subordinates picked it up, they found it was a phoenix. Someone advised Mr. Chen that the phoenix is ​​a magical object that cannot be hurt, so it would be better to let it go. But Mr. Chen said that it would be better to taste the dragon liver and phoenix marrow when he was old, so he slaughtered the phoenix and cooked it."

Everyone's mouth twitched.

Pang Yu touched his chin and exclaimed, "This guy is even more cheating than me! Why do you really catch the Phoenix and slaughter it? Keep it for maintenance!"

"That's right, I actually ate it so precious!" Bao Yan was also very dissatisfied.

"Not long after he ate the phoenix, he got infected with a strange disease and died of ulceration." Bai Yutang obviously had no appetite to eat, "and then all kinds of disasters began, until the end, the entire county town was burned."

After listening to Bai Yutang's words, everyone remained silent.

"Gao Xie has been investigating this matter in the days that followed." Bai Yutang said, "If you don't check, you won't know that there are many villages, towns and even counties that were destroyed because of the Fire Dragon, and the span lasted for a long time."

Everyone frowned.

"Why haven't you heard of it?" Gongsun was puzzled and touched his chin. "Is it because the village is deserted that it has not spread?"

"What Gao Xie investigated was that in fact, everything had nothing to do with that young master Chen eating the phoenix." Bai Yutang said, "The key is that it is on the fiery red phoenix."

"What's wrong with Phoenix?" Bao Yan was curious.

"A sign of great danger."

Before Bai Yutang could speak, Lin Yehuo suddenly said, "The fire phoenix is ​​the most unlucky thing in the world!"

"The phoenix is ​​the king of hundreds of birds." Gongsun was puzzled, "Isn't it auspicious thing?"

"The Caifeng is a good omen, but on the contrary, if it is a fire phoenix." Bai Yutang said, "that is an absolute bad omen. The fire phoenix follows the fire dragon. In addition to the disease disaster, it is a catastrophe."

Everyone frowned - it was a bit mysterious.

"Gao Xie was troubled by this incident for many years, but in the end he didn't find out what was going on. His friend was also unexplained." Bai Yutang finished the general situation and finally said Gao Xie's death request, "He knew that I was in Kaifeng Prefecture recently, and hoped that I could help him solve this puzzle."

"Oh..." Everyone understood.

"Oh, I'll say." At this time, Pang Yu suddenly said to Lin Yehuo, who was sitting in a daze, "Would you like to change your name? It's so unlucky! Call it Caifengtang, don't call it Huofengtang or something, if it's a disaster..."

Pang Yu was just a joke, but it wasn't too serious for a day or two.

But strangely, Lin Yehuo suddenly turned his face and looked at him.

Pang Yu was frightened by Lin Yehuo's eyes and was embarrassed, "Uh... I was talking and playing...Oh!"

But before Pang Yu finished speaking, Lin Yehuo grabbed his collar and pushed him to the ground and stepped on it.

"Ah!" Pang Yu screamed in surprise, Bao Yan quickly pulled him to his side and asked Lin Yehuo in confusion, "What are you doing!"

Su Qing grabbed Lin Yehuo, but Lin Yehuo shook Su Qing and wanted to continue beating Pang Yu.

Pang Yu had never seen this posture. Bao Yan pulled Pang Yu behind him, blocked him, and argued with Lin Yehuo dissatisfiedly, "Why are you unreasonable? Didn't you just say something wrong?"

Before he finished speaking, Lin Yehuo's eyes turned cold.

But before he could take the next move, someone patted him on the shoulder.

Lin Yehuo turned back...

"Bang."

Zou Liang poured a glass of wine on Lin Yehuo's face.

Lin Yehuo was stunned for a moment, and the drink slid down from his face. Lin Yehuo's terrifying eyes just now changed back to their original appearance, and his murderous aura disappeared.

Then, Lin Yehuo turned around and looked at Pang Yu and Bao Yan.

Bao Yan was nervous, so Pang Yu simply hid behind Bao Yan and pulled his collar to block half of his face and looked at Lin Yehuo.

Lin Yehuo stared at Pang Yu for a while, lowered his head, and said to him, "I'm sorry." After that, he raised his head and turned around and left.

Bao Yan and Pang Yu looked at Lin Yehuo who were walking out of the door, feeling a little overwhelmed.

Everyone at the dinner table also looked at Lin Yehuo's back in confusion - he seemed a little abnormal!

"What's the situation?" Pang Yu was awakened and asked Bao Yan.

Bao Yan glanced at him and said, "Ask you, who told you to talk nonsense."

"I've been talking nonsense for a day or two. I haven't seen him get so angry!" Pang Yu felt a little scared and asked, "Are you guessing that if no one stopped him just now, would he beat me to death?"

"It's possible." Bao Yan nodded.

Xiao Sizi held her face and asked Xiao Liang in surprise, "What's wrong with Xiao Linzi?"

Xiao Liang frowned, "Well... I don't know, it's rare to see him like this."

Su Qing wanted Pang Yu to apologize for Lin Yehuo, but Pang Yu waved his hand, "It's okay, it's just me talking nonsense."

Su Qing frowned and sat down, obviously worried.

Everyone looked at each other - Lin Yehuo was indeed abnormal.

Zhao Put held his chin and looked at Zou Liang.

Zou Liang sat back and continued to eat. Zhao Pu kicked him, "Oh, go and ask what happened to Na Lin Yehuo."

Zou Liang looked back at Zhao Pu, as if he didn't understand why he wanted to go.

Zhao Pu glanced at the puppy beside him, continued to whine at Zou Liang, "Go and ask."

Zou Liang had no choice but to put down his cup and picked up the puppy, and went to Lin Yehuo to find Lin Yehuo.
