Chapter 25 Lantern Chapter [II]

Wu Zhu didn't dare to hold Gu Yushi's hand too tightly, she looked calm, but actually her palm was sweating unknowingly.She herself didn't know why this happened, she just held hands.

Fortunately, Gu Yushi didn't seem to realize that there was something wrong, so he took her to a place with less people.

Wu Zhu saw that Zhou Xiyu had already been escorted by the servants of the Zhou mansion to Jiangxin Pavilion where the magistrate of Zhou was.A lantern as wide as two people's arms has been placed on the water, but it has not been lit yet.County magistrate Zhou was standing beside the lantern, holding the already lit torch in his hand.

In the empty space next to it, there are drummers standing on one left and one on the right.Just wait for an order, three beatings on the huge drum, and County Magistrate Zhou will light the lantern.

"Drum!"

"Boom -" a sound.

"Boom—" twice.

Wuzhu's heart skipped a beat following the huge drumbeat.

"Boom -" the third sound.

As soon as the third sound fell, Magistrate Zhou bent down and lit the lantern.Huge tongues of flame were burning, illuminating the river and the excitement of the people.

With a stroke of the water, the lantern left the shore and moved along the water.Wu Zhu was fascinated, but heard a huge muffled noise coming from nowhere, and a streak of orange-red flames shot out from the south, which was violent and strange.

There is a strange bird hovering along the flames, which is not afraid of the heat wave at all.

Here is the east of the city, and there is the south of the city, which shows how terrifying the fire is.

"The south of the city is on fire!"

I don't know who yelled this, and the scene suddenly became chaotic.Everyone was flocking to the boat on the shore to go back, but there were still many people flocking to the Jiangxin Pavilion to set off lanterns behind, the crowd was intertwined, the voices were noisy, and it was a mess.

"The shopkeeper, the shopkeeper!" Wuzhu was so frightened that she couldn't care about anything, and the crowd was so frightened that she could only lean closer to Gu Yushi.Gu Yushi looked at the flames that suddenly burned up in the southern sky, and he had already wrapped his arms around the little bamboo, protecting the little monster in his arms.

Qianyan and Meng Qianqian were gone, but they didn't have to think about it themselves, and they couldn't suffer.

"Over there! Look at Ms. Zhou..." Wuzhu said in surprise when she saw a familiar figure in the crowd.

The moment Zhou Xiyu saw the flame, she ran back like crazy, and no one could pull her back.There was a frenzied rush of people ahead, Zhou Xiyu couldn't care about anything else, and squeezed out the earrings and hairpins.Lost the shoes, ran barefoot, and ran towards the shore like crazy.

There is Zhou Mansion.

Zhou Mansion in the south of the city.

Zhou Xiyu was sure that it was the fire in her own home.While she was crying, she tried her best to rush out, only silently chanting one name, Xiyan, Xiyan.

You can't do anything.

"It's Xiyan, something happened to Xiyan." Wu Zhu had already seen Zhou Xiyu crying, and her anxious voice seemed to be about to cry, "Shopkeeper, is there a fire in the Zhou mansion? Xiyan, what should Xiyan do? She Those who can't get out... shopkeeper, can we help them..."

Gu Yushi protected Wuzhu, raised his eyes to look at Zhou Xiyu who was almost insane and embarrassed, and sighed slightly.

Even if I rush back now...it won't help.

He lowered his head and saw Xiao Zhuzi's flat mouth again, already stomping his feet and wishing he could go back immediately.Gu Yushi couldn't help but feel helpless, that's all... just a little effort.

She raised her hand slightly, and the figures of the two, together with Zhou Xiyu's, disappeared into the crowd without a sound.

At the gate of the Zhou Mansion.

The endless black smoke is boundless, constantly surging upwards.Immediately afterwards, there were waves of flames rushing up, and the heat waves continued to beat out.The entire huge mansion was submerged in choking smoke, and the fire was completely out of control.

All the servants who stayed in the Zhou Mansion ran out and surrounded the outside with all their might to put out the fire.But strangely, the fire has been out of control. The fire started from inside the Zhou mansion, and there were layers of black smoke outside.The fire on the outer layer had long been extinguished, but the layers of black smoke intensified, making it impossible for people to get close.

There was chaos outside.

"Miss Zhou!" Wu Zhu yelled, the moment they appeared at the gate of the Zhou Mansion, Zhou Xiyu rushed inside as if she was dying.

The servants on the side came back to their senses faster, and a few came up and dragged Miss Zhou out, shouting: "Miss, you must not go in now! It is your yard that is on fire!"

This inexplicable fire broke out from Zhou Xiyu's yard, which caught everyone by surprise, so they had to evacuate everyone outside urgently.Everyone came out without any risk, except - Xi Yan who was trapped in the yard by the binding spell.

She can't get out.

Hearing this, Zhou Xiyu yelled in surprise and anger, kicked those servants away from unknown sources of strength, her hair was disheveled and her face was pale, her eyes seemed to be filled with flames, and seemed to be quenched. It was as cold as ice.Her tears never stopped, her eyes were red.

"Miss, you can't go in!"

"A few more people, hold Miss!"

"Let go...let go..."

More servants came up and clamped Zhou Xiyu tightly, preventing her from approaching the fire source.The continuously rushing heat waves hit the person's face, and there was a burning sensation immediately.Zhou Xiyu tore with everyone like a ghost.Wuzhu couldn't stand it anymore, and wanted to step forward to help her.

Gu Yushi stretched out his hand and pulled Wu Zhu to him again.

"No need to go, it's useless." Gu Yushi shook his head, "The reason for this fire is that there is only Zhou Xiyu's courtyard with a raging fire, and the water can't put it out. It's abnormal that there is a lot of black smoke outside, obviously it's not for people. Enter. All the servants of the Zhou Mansion have escaped, except for Xiyan. Little Zhuzi, think about the relationship, can you draw any conclusions?"

Wuzhu thought about connecting the front and back, and immediately opened her eyes, "You mean, this fire is Xiyan herself... But, but tomorrow is Miss Zhou's birthday, but it's only one day away, why is Xiyan herself?" To today..."

There was a sharp pain in her heart, she didn't dare to think about how Xi Yan made this decision.

"Do you still remember, when I was in Zhou Mansion that day, Xiyan thanked me twice?"

Wuzhu thought for a while, then nodded, "I have this impression."

"She thanked me for helping her heal her injuries." Gu Yushi pondered, his eyes darkened, "The first time we went to Zhou Mansion to finish the crab race and came back, Xiyan sent me a letter with a flying pigeon. Tell me, it’s not true that drinking blood and swallowing pills on Zhou Xiyu’s birthday can make her useless from normal. It’s true that Zhou Xiyu’s drinking demon blood can make her body no longer weak, but a mortal body has been drinking for so long His demon blood is no longer human."

Wuzhu touched the goose bumps on his body, "What is it?"

"Humans are not like humans, and demons are not demons. When she swallows Xiyan's demon pill, coupled with the blow of Xiyan's death, her xinxing is at the time when she is most vulnerable and easy to attack." Thinking of this, Gu Yushi's face twitched. His expression also cooled down.

"One thought will become a demon."

"Demon?!" Wuzhu covered her mouth in fright, this was the first time she heard this word in her memory.

It's been too long, I haven't heard any news from the Demon Realm, it's been so long that it's forgotten.

"What's more, even if she doesn't get to this point, she will never be able to live as a mortal again. She needs to drink blood, will be bloodthirsty, and even has an extreme desire for demon blood. Xi Yan said in her letter that she There is very little information about the warlock in Nian, and she already knows that he is definitely not an ordinary person, and she doesn't know what is behind the plan. But if she chooses to sacrifice... she will transfer all the rest of her cultivation to Zhou Xiyu, although it will make Zhou Xiyu The body has become weak, but it is not a problem to live as a mortal. The demon core has returned to her body and will die with her. If the warlock really had some conspiracy, at least in this period, this method has failed."

"Xiyan said that this is a method that benefits everyone."

Apart from sacrificing Xiyan herself, no one was injured, and Zhou Xiyu was saved.

Wuzhu was secretly surprised, so there were so many things that he knew nothing about.At the same time, she also caught a message, and hurriedly asked: "When did the demon pill return to Xi Yan's body?"

Gu Yushi looked at Wuzhu and said calmly: "That's why she wants to thank me for the second time."
