Chen Yutian was sitting in the front hall of Jiulong Mansion.
The locations of the two fires were very strange. Bai Fan's previous guess, after careful consideration, now became the most likely possibility.
But fire-attribute internal energy that can set a house on fire is not common either.
After all, no matter what attribute of internal force it is, its essence is internal force. The so-called fire attribute internal force is just that the temperature of the internal force is relatively high and can release very high temperature and heat. However, these heats are only relatively high for humans, and there is still a long way to go. Not to the point of setting a house on fire. The same is true for the internal force of the cold attribute. It is not that it can actually condense water into ice, but the temperature it emits is relatively low according to human perception.
Of course, this concept is not so applicable to Ice King Yanzun, whose martial arts has reached the holy realm.
The heat or coldness released by their respective internal powers has long exceeded that of ordinary people. They are beings who can truly burn or freeze a city with their own internal powers.
But there are not many people in the world who possess such terrifying internal power. Not to mention the two most famous people in the world for using fire internal power, both of them are in Jiulong Mansion.
In addition to their master and apprentice, Chen Yutian couldn't remember if there was a third master of playing with fire in the world of martial arts.
Bai Fan frowned and sat in the room.
Tianying saw his young master coming back from the fire scene like this, and asked curiously: "Master, what's wrong?"
Bai Fan glanced at Tianying and asked, "Have you ever met your ancestor?"
Tianying was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, "No. After our ancestor faked his death, the dragon has been missing all year round. Even the head of the family rarely sees it, let alone me."
Bai Fan nodded, and then said: "Looking back now, I should have actually met my ancestor."
Tianying opened his mouth wide, the young master had actually seen that legendary figure from the Bai family?
Bai Fan said with a smile: "It was just a meeting, and it happened when I was very young. At that time, I was playing alone at home, and then I saw an old man standing at the door with a smile, followed by a child about my age. .”
Tianying asked hurriedly: "What then?"
Bai Fan replied: "He asked me how old I was and whose child I was? After I answered truthfully, he touched my head and said good boy, and then told the child next to him that this was the descendant of the master. In the future, If you meet one, remember to take care of it. I saw the child stretched out his hand, and then I was frightened."
Tianying looked at his young master strangely, "Are you scared?"
Bai Fan nodded slightly, "Well, because I saw a circle of white flames on the child's hand. At that time, I thought that the child was a ghost, so there was a will-o'-the-wisp. But now that I think about it, it should be because he hasn't gone there yet. This is a phenomenon caused by controlling the inner force of Senluo in the body and causing it to leak out."
Tianying nodded.
The ancestor of the Bai family is known as the White Ghost King. The main reason is that although the inner power of the Senluo he cultivates is flame, it is of cold and cold nature, just like the legendary will-o'-the-wisp.
"So, sir, what do you want to say?" Tianying asked helplessly.
Bai Fan asked: "I have seen the situation after Senluo's inner power burns things. The place burned by Senluo's inner power will be filled with a cold air because of its own cold attribute. And today I When I went to the scene, I also felt a faint cold air."
Tianying frowned.
"Didn't Marquis Chen and the others notice?"
Bai Fan shook his head, "They must have discovered it. However, if you haven't been exposed to the inner power of Senluo, you won't notice anything strange."
Tianying nodded. The ancestors of the Bai family had basically ceased their activities in the martial arts world a hundred years ago, and were not among the saints in the martial arts world. Senluo's internal energy was not even on the world's internal energy rankings, so it was indeed difficult for Chen Yutian and the others to think of him.
"So, Sir, do you suspect that the boy from back then was the murderer of this case?"
Bai Fan nodded.
…
Sitting in the Bozhou government office, Huo Yuanji was interrogating the files handled by Liu Kong in the past, and his original thoughts were interrupted by the sound of "Found it."
He looked up at Tang Fengling, who was very excited and holding a volume of files, and asked, "What did you find?"
Tang Fengling raised the file in her hand and said, "Of course it's a clue."
Lin Feifei had already moved closer at this time, "What clue?"
Tang Fengling proudly put the file in her hand on the table.
Huo Yuanji also came forward at this time.
A roll of yellowed paper, with an old piece of eucalyptus recorded on it.
Fifteen years ago, plague raged in Lepingzhuang within the jurisdiction of Boling County, causing all villagers in the village to be infected and die.
In order to prevent the spread of the plague, the county government ordered the village to be burned, and the entire Leping Village was subsequently burned to the ground.
After reading these short lines of records, the three of them frowned.
Lin Feifei spoke first: "Is this the clue you mentioned?"
Tang Fengling nodded and said, "Yes."
Lin Feifei looked at Tang Fengling and said after a long time: "You don't think that just because fire is recorded here, you think it has something to do with the eucalyptus we are investigating, right?"
Tang Fengling nodded and said, "Yes."
Lin Feifei was speechless for a moment.
After Huo Yuanji read a few lines of words in the dossier, he kept frowning.
"Faier, pay attention to the record below."
Hearing Huo Yuanji's reminder, Lin Feifei immediately read along the records, then frowned slightly and opened her mouth.
See the following record of the person in the county government who handled this matter at that time. The county magistrate was Liu Kong, as expected. However, in the position of county magistrate, a name that they were all very familiar with suddenly appeared.
Min Lin!
It turned out to be him!
He turned out to be the county magistrate under Liu Kong back then!
"I remembered." Tang Fengling suddenly said at this time, "I remember Brother Chen and the others said that Liu Kong recommended Min Lin to become an official."
Huo Yuanji nodded and said, "It seems that you have indeed found some incredible evidence this time."
Tang Fengling smiled and said, "That's right."
Huo Yuanji smiled, then said with serious eyes: "Let's go, let's go to Boling County to investigate tomorrow."
Lin Feifei and Tang Fengling stood up immediately.
The former's face clearly had a somewhat puzzled expression.
The latter looked eager to try.
The three of them left the Yamen and returned to the inn where they were staying. It was already evening.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Thief Saint with a "hateful" look on his face.
"It's all because of you two old ghosts. You insist on taking a walk. Now, you've lost all my apprentices."
Ice King Yanzun looked helpless.
This disciple's condition seems to have gotten much worse after he stayed with his disciple.
I don’t know what the old ghost looked like when his apprentice was wandering around.
Is it the same as that... woman waiting at home for her husband to return?
The two saints could not help but shake their heads when they thought that the Grand Master of the Thieving Saint Hall was thinking about his apprentice like a resentful woman in his harem.
The picture is too beautiful to imagine.
When Tang Fengling entered the door and saw her master making a mistake, her pretty face darkened immediately.
In the end, he couldn't help but drag his master with the word "saint" away. When he left, he could still hear the words of the Thief Saint, "Apprentice, you are finally back, where have you been before?"
Huo Yuanji and Lin Feifei looked helpless.
It is enough to have such a master on the stall.
Yan Zun asked: "How is your investigation going?"
Huo Yuanji said: "We have some clues. We are going to Boling County tomorrow."
"Boling County?" Bing Wang was a little confused, "What are you going to do there?"
Huo Yuanji said: "We have found some clues and need to conduct on-site investigation. Master, will you go?"
Before Yan Zun could speak, he heard Bing Wang refuse: "I won't go, I won't go. What's there to do in a small county? We'll stay in Bozhou for fun."
Huo Yuanji nodded slightly. At this time, the Thief Saint walked out of his apprentice's room, regained his saintly demeanor and said, "I'll go."
Huo Yuanji was naturally not surprised at all by this.
Nodding, he suddenly touched his stomach and said, "By the way, I'm hungry after a busy day. I don't know if I can order authentic Bozhou Meat Pie and Yinlong Snow Fungus Soup in this inn."
Hearing this, Yan Zun nodded slightly.
As expected, the apprentice is still the same apprentice. No matter where he goes, he knows all about the local specialties and delicacies.
