Stepping on the scorched earth, Fu Shiyi's body and face were covered with thick carbon ash, and a good and beautiful lady turned into a cat with a painted face.
Brother Sixteen burst out laughing when he saw this.
"Brother Sixteen, you still have the nerve to laugh!"
Fu Shiyi was roasted by the fire for most of the day, and was exhausted. He had no energy to teach Brother Sixteen a lesson, and said feebly:
"Hurry up and cast a dust-purifying spell on me."
Brother Sixteen had committed a crime this time, and he didn't dare to smile as playfully as usual. He just couldn't bear it anymore, so he performed a dust purification operation on Fu Shiyi and urged:
"Eleven, please go back quickly. Let Shiba and I handle the beginning and end."
These are critical moments, and there cannot be only one person guarding the Ancient Cliff Residence.
Fu Shixi nodded. She didn't dare to stay any longer. After making sure that everything was fine here, she set off to return.
...
"Woof! Woof! Woof!!!"
After leaving the east city gate, Fu Shiyi faintly heard the barking of a wind-chasing dog coming from the direction of Longtan Cave on the east side.
Although the Wind Chaser is only a first-level spiritual beast, its nose is extremely sensitive.
"Could it be that something happened to the Yinguang Stone Mine?"
Because of the fire in the East City, not only the tribesmen from the other three cities in the northwest and south came over, but even the people who dug the silverstone mines were transferred back to join the fire-fighting army.
It stands to reason that there should be no one at Longtan Cave.
Fu Shiyi was worried, changed his direction, and rushed towards Longtan Cave.
"Woof woof woof!"
As the distance got closer, Fu Shiyi heard the voice of the wind-chasing dog shouting even more urgently. Judging from the sound, it should be the last remaining wind-chasing dog bought by the sixth-generation elder from Luanzhou, and it was also the oldest wind-chasing dog.
"Boom!"
When Fu Shiyi was only a hundred meters away from Longtan Cave, a flash of lightning as big as a thumb suddenly flashed in the forest, and then he heard a shrill whine from a storm chasing dog.
"Oops, the storm chaser was killed!"
Fu Shiyi became anxious and sped up. When he arrived at Longtan Cave, he saw the wind-chasing dog's body was covered in blood and flesh, lying dying on the shore.
"Lao Liangtou, hold on!"
This wind-chasing dog had served the Fu family for nearly two hundred years. He was supposed to die in a few months, but he didn't expect it to end up like this.
Fu Shiyi wanted to use his spiritual energy to stop the bleeding wound, but as soon as his hand touched its fur, Lao Fengtou died, and his hazy and turbid eyes stared straight at a Yan Yang tree in the forest.
"Get out of here!"
Fu Shiyi flicked his hand, and a long whip made of green vines instantly rolled up behind the Yanyang tree. A young monk who had used the invisibility technique screamed in surprise and was dragged out.
Since breaking through to the fourth level of Qi training, the ivy whip transformed from Fu Shiyi's "Green Tangle Transformation" technique has become much more solid, and its power is no less than a second-level low-grade magic weapon.
"My cultivation level is not high, but my courage is not small!"
Fu Shiyi saw that the opponent was only at the second level of Qi training, and that the sky thunder spell he had just cast had obviously exhausted his mana. After he stepped forward to seal his Dantian, he said:
"Tell me, you broke into Yanyang Mulin privately. Why did you come?"
The young man looked to be in his early twenties, barely a few years older than Fu Shiyi. The look he looked at Fu Shiyi seemed to have been tempered by poison, and he gritted his teeth and said:
"Hmph, your Fu family murdered my brother-in-law and brother, so I naturally came to avenge them! It's a pity that the fire didn't burn all of your Fu family to death!"
The fire during the day was actually caused by this person!
Fu Shiyi narrowed his eyes: "Our Fu family is famous for being charitable in Jingzhou, and we have never done anything that takes human life lightly!"
"Hahaha, hypocritical |! Extremely hypocritical."
The youth looks like crazy:
"My uncle and brother entered your Yanyang Woodland through a tunnel before. Since then, there has been no news and the tunnel has been completely sealed by you. It took me three years to dig another tunnel from the outside and enter it. You have been lurking in the four cities located east, west, south, north and west for several months, but you have never seen my brother-in-law and brother show up."
"If I hadn't set that fire and the people digging the Yinguang Stone mine had escaped from Longtan Cave, I wouldn't have known why my brother-in-law and brother died."
Apparently, the young monk mistakenly believed that his relatives had also discovered this silver light stone mine, but they were killed and silenced by the Fu family.
Fu Shiyi found it extremely funny.
Because she remembered who the young monk's so-called relatives were. They should be the two sneaky casual cultivators she bumped into on her way back to Xihefang City for the second time:
"Your relatives were not killed by our Fu family, but by the strange skeleton tree man hiding in Longtan Cave."
The young monk naturally didn't believe it.
Fu Shiyi didn't explain much. After taking the person back to Dongcheng and explaining the whole story, Brother Sixteen was so angry that he rolled his eyes, poked the person's forehead with his finger, and said sadly:
"Grandma, I thought it was me who caused this fire. It made me swear that I would never eat beggar's chicken again. You bastard, you set fire to kill people indiscriminately. Master Dao, I want to live." I’ll steam you and eat you!”
Brother Sixteen had a ferocious face, and what he said was serious. The young monk was so frightened that he turned pale, but he was not afraid: "Huh, kill or behead, it's up to you!"
He's quite a tough guy.
However, in order to prevent what the young monk said was false and had other agendas, Fu Shiyi still asked Brother Sixteen to take out the second-level magic talisman and stick it on the other person's forehead.
For second-level qi-training monks, the second-level magic talisman is enough to make them reveal the truth.
After some interrogation, after the second-level God-asking Talisman was burned into waste paper, the life and origin of the young monk was also verified one by one.
The young monk is from a small family of casual cultivators in Nanshan County, Jingzhou. His surname is Liu and his given name is Siyuan. They are the only three monks in the clan. Because he has the qualifications of the Three Spiritual Roots and possesses a mutant thunder spirit root that is rare among millions of monks, his brother-in-law and elder brother wanted to explore the misty forbidden area of Xishan County in order to dig out resources for him, but they were rushed away by him. He was stopped by threatening his life.
On their way back to Nanshan County, Liu Siyuan and the others accidentally discovered the tunnel leading to Yanyang Mulin, which is why the following story happened.
"I respect you as a kind and righteous man. I will let you die happily today!"
After checking everything, Brother Eighteen drew his sword to kill Liu Siyuan.
Not only did this person almost destroy the Yanyang Wooden Forest that the Fu family had run for more than two hundred years, but he also killed the Fu family's loyal dog, Lao Liangtou. Naturally, the Eighteenth Brother hated him to the bone.
"Wait!"
When Liu Siyuan closed his eyes and waited for death, Fu Shiyi thought about it and stopped him: "Brother Eighteen, it's better to keep him in custody first, and deal with it separately after Uncle Eighth comes back."
Brother Sixteen and Brother Eighteen were puzzled.
After Fu Shiyi and others took him down, he said: "Nowadays, weird things are everywhere, but there are very few ways to deal with them. This person has the Thunder Spirit Root, which can just restrain the weird things. If the clan has a way to subdue him , join our Fu family, maybe it will be of great use in the future."
"Humph, it's easier for him."
Brother Eighteen snorted coldly, but did not object.
