Heroes of the Fantasy World

Chapter 125
(42)

The torment of the scorching sun is like a maze of poisonous smoke, stirring the will and heart of those devout people.As time went by, more and more members of the Taiping Taoist group, together with the soldiers and guards stationed beside them under the scorching sun, fell to the ground and fainted due to exhaustion.

In the end, E Bing finally couldn't help the soldiers under his command were threatened with their lives one after another due to "unnecessary" incidents, so he resolutely ordered the withdrawal of the guards around the altar.

The frog-faced Taoist who once received E Feiying and Bai Feng's "sisters and brothers" came to ask on behalf of the Taipingdao people, why they had to withdraw the guards.E Bing could only reply helplessly: "The current supply of soldiers is insufficient, how can the guards be put in danger of their lives for no reason, I hope the Taoist priest will forgive me."

After hearing this, the Taoist looked at the people around E Binghuan with a little hostility, and left with a little resentment.

Around the huge altar, in a blink of an eye, there were only a few people watching the ceremony, and hundreds of Taiping Taoists.

Among these Taiping Taoists, only half of them wear Taoist robes and scarves, and the rest are all believers, that is, the common people in Xiahe Town.

For believers, the "hope" that Sima Tu said can be achieved by kneeling and praying is really a kind of salvation or relief, even if this "hope" is illusory before it achieves results.Since taking refuge in the Taiping Tao can solve the worries of fullness and future, why do you have to struggle desperately to find your own way in this chaotic world?
The young swordsman watched all this coldly, and unconsciously recalled his own past—the memory of escaping from the enemy, the memory of practicing martial arts day and night in order to survive in peace.

At this moment, he became more and more sure that he would never be able to join forces with Taipingdao.Perhaps his master, the legendary "White Snake Immortal" was rejected because of this, and with that sword that had left a reputation all over the world, he retired from the court and the public.

If those believers suddenly learned that it was Taipingdao who set fire to the Zhangjia Pharmacy, what kind of scene would it be like?It is not difficult to imagine that if they knew that the murderer who destroyed the medicine and indirectly killed their family members was actually the work of the "adults" they had always been attached to, then it would not be surprising what kind of riots would occur then!But now, the soldiers and guards were withdrawn from the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven.Somewhere, it seemed that they were paving the way for this event that never happened.

Sure enough, after half a day of suffering, the so-called turning point finally arrived.

I saw Sima Tu standing upright from the sword formation composed of nine Taoists again, with his back facing the altar a few steps away, facing the Taoists and spectators, and sighed to the sky.Those dry lips kept wriggling up and down, as if murmuring some spells.

"Finally... it's here." Sima Tu opened his arms and looked at the sky sincerely, "The dog eats the sun."

Everyone under the altar saw his abnormal state, and they all raised their eyes to look at the sky. After seeing the spectacle, they couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion.

The originally round and huge golden wheel was missing a few points like a round cake bitten off by a cynic.At the same time, the heat is slowly dissipating due to the lack of the sun, and the thick clouds formed by the condensation of the hot and humid mist are whistling with the wind.

This change came so suddenly that many people thought it was a harbinger of disaster from heaven.However, when people saw the calmness on Sima Tu's face, they dispelled their doubts.

Tilt less, dark clouds are approaching, trying to fill the blue sky.The sun had filled the black hole in the center, but there was still a circle of golden light hanging on the edge of the sky.At this time, the earth seemed to be approaching winter, and Yin Qi was raging.Before people could get used to it, a thunderstorm suddenly sounded, followed by torrential rain.

"Is it rain?" The young swordsman said to himself, "Dao Priest Wugou is really not an ordinary person."

Under the sound of the rain, people were singing and dancing in great celebration. They joined hands, sang the great achievements of the Taiping Dao, and praised Sima Tu's fairy art of praying for rain.Even believers stripped off their coats and bathed in the torrential rain almost crazily, and there are many women among them.

The Taoist Taiping in front of the altar all had benevolent faces, followed Sima Tu to the altar with a friendly smile, and saluted back to heaven.

"Mr. Sima is really a strange person! The situation of Xiahe Town without rain for a long time, he was able to solve it in just a few days!" E Bing still looked ahead, and at the same time held his little daughter's hand, and said: "That's why I can safely hand over Ying'er to Young Master Bai! After all, it was Mr. Sima who led the red line..."

"Father..." E Feiying murmured, and timidly glanced in the direction of Bai Feng's two siblings, as if she was afraid of causing trouble.

Unexpectedly, the rich man sitting on the other side suddenly said in shock: "Lord E, look!" Zhao Kuo pointed in the direction of the altar and said, "Under the torrential rain, how could there be a big fire!"

E Bing also took a closer look and found that it was indeed the case.The few Taoists in front of the altar were at a loss, watching helplessly as the fire burned the altar, turning the altar into a bonfire for the people of Xiahe town to dance.

"This 'fire of innocence', could it be that the 'Song Wuji' descended to earth that Daoist Wugou said?" Zhang Yi immediately fanned the flames and said, "But how could Daoist Wugou, who is so cunning and calculating, miss this point?" with?"

At this time, Murong Yan took out the fire book that she found in the ruins of the pharmacy after the fire, presented it to E Binghuan, and said, "Master E, this is the kindling that my daughter found from the ruins of the pharmacy. I suspect that someone set the fire on purpose, because Dr. Zhang said that the Taiping Dao has always been at odds with the Zhang family. However, due to Brother Feng's disapproval... Brother Feng, he is afraid of implicating Mr. E and Miss E, so..."

"Yan'er!" Bai Feng pretended to be angry and snatched the vital evidence, and scolded: "How can you be so reckless, if you wronged a good person, it is not only Mr. E and Miss E who will be implicated! You say this It is the kindling left by the arsonist, could it really be immortal in the rain?"

After Baifeng finished speaking, he selected a few fire pockets, cut off each one, took off his coat, and sprinkled the fuel from the fire pockets on the clothes.

"Everyone, let me come down now to prove who is the culprit of the arson!" As soon as the words fell, the young swordsman used the fire pocket that he carried with him to ignite his coat.Wait for it to burn vigorously before throwing it away from the shade.

At this time, the believers who had been singing and dancing for a long time saw that there were two flames still standing in the heavy rain.People with a good memory quickly recalled the "Song Wuji" fire that night in the Zhangjia Pharmacy, which was useless no matter how much water was poured on it.

Gradually, skeptical voices began to replace the chant of Taiping Road.

"Daozhang Wugou, 'Song Wuji' has come here, how could you not have informed us in advance!"

"What if you set people on fire!"

"That's right! This fire can't be extinguished! Those who are infected will shed their skins even if they don't die!"

Seeing this, E Bing frowned and hesitated for a while before making up his mind to call his followers and surround the altar.

"Nephew, although I have lingering fears about Yinger's mother's death, your actions are worthy of the Zhang family's reputation. Uncle E will definitely seek justice for you!"

After hearing this, Zhang immediately walked around from his seat to E Binghuan, knelt down and thanked him repeatedly.
