Xiayun used at least [-]% of her mana for this attack.He originally thought that the silver umbrella would collapse directly, but he didn't expect that after the umbrella was hit, it remained motionless, as if the attack just now was just an illusion.

Xiayun's eyelids twitched, and her expression became serious.He took a deep breath, gathered another [-]% of his mana, and swung towards the umbrella.

This time, the silver umbrella shook violently, but it was still hanging in the air, casting an indestructible barrier of golden light.

The heat scorched Xiayun's lungs and made his skin scorching hot.He cast his eyes down, and saw the raging flames under the silver umbrella, turning the covered space into a sea of ​​flames.The howling inside gradually stopped, leaving only the crackling sound of burning.

Is it too late...?

If those two groups of people all died here, should I, who just watched indifferently, be responsible for their deaths?

Xiayun was anxious in her heart, and regardless of the throbbing pain in her body, she closed her eyes again and concentrated her breath, and put her magic power between her hands.

Ten percent, twenty percent... fifty percent.

He pursed his lips tightly, suppressing the surging blood in his throat.

Sixty percent...

Blood streaks flowed from the corner of Xiayun's mouth and hit the umbrella surface, making a sizzling sound of steaming.

There seemed to be an exclamation in his ears, but he had no time to be distracted, he could only concentrate on concentrating mana.

Seventy percent...

Xia Yun's eyes turned black, and her figure began to be a little unstable.He clenched his teeth and continued to move every trace of spiritual flow in his body to his fingertips.

At this moment, he was dressed in a red robe, with white sleeves fluttering, and the golden light in his hand reflected the umbrella, illuminating half the sky.

Just a little more...just a little more.

As if responding to his call, the spiritual flow that maintained the floating also surged to the fingertips.Xia Yun's body shook, and she quickly fell into the sky.

—Have you reached your limit?

He turned over in the air, sacrificed the mana light ball in his hand, and hit everyone down together.

"Du!!"

With a muffled sound, the silver umbrella was suddenly put away, and then turned into a ray of silver light, rushing to Zhitong's side.

Xia Yun didn't care about panting, the golden light in her hand pressed down the golden light barrier and covered the entire fire field.

"Hush-"

The fire snake writhed angrily, trying to resist Xiayun's attack.Xiayun was sweating on his forehead, and his body trembled slightly, but he still firmly supported the golden glow.

With violent shaking, the fiery snake finally couldn't bear Xiayun's coercion, and after a low growl, it sank to the ground together with the surrounding flames.

Xiayun's heart widened, the golden light in her hand instantly shattered, and the person fell like a kite with a broken thread.

"Brother fairy!"

Before falling to the ground, Xiayun heard a childish cry.He recalled in a trance that there was once a child who called him like this.

"Lan'er..."

His vision suddenly cleared up.Xiayun took a deep breath, vacated again before falling to the ground, and then slowly landed beside Zhitong.

The child put down the silver umbrella, stretched out his hand to help Xia Yun, but withdrew his hand timidly, and said, "Brother Immortal, are you alright?"

Xiayun looked at the tear-stained face, but couldn't find any trace of Su Lan, only the shadow of Fengyan could be seen more clearly.The hope that had just surged up in him was instantly shattered, and his eyes turned cold.

That's right, if it was really Lan'er, she would never call him "you".

"Immortal... my lord, are you alright?"

Seeing the coldness in Xia Yun's eyes, Xu Shi paused for a moment, and changed his address again.

Xiayun didn't answer, she just turned around and looked behind, and after finding out her perception, her heart gradually became cold.

The densely packed crowd just now were all buried in the sea of ​​flames, leaving no one alive.

Hundreds of charred corpses were twisted into horrible shapes, lying in a pool of blood that hadn't completely dried up, as if baring their teeth and claws at themselves.

Xiayun stared at the corpses, her stomach churned, and she vomited a mouthful of black blood.Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of the panicked face of the childish child, and the pair of little gray-stained hands stopped in mid-air, as if he wanted to help himself, but dared not.

Why did this child appear here alone in this cold weather?

Xiayun was very disturbed in her heart, being burned by the residual heat of the scene, and then blown by the cold wind, she felt uncomfortable all over.He pressed the side of his forehead, without much thought, he said to the childish child:

"Where is your home? I'll take you back and let the guards take you to the Disobedience Hall to report the case tomorrow."

Although that childish face reminded him of bad memories, but after all, it was freezing cold, and it was too inhuman to leave such a young child outside.

The childish boy lowered his head and said, "I don't have a home."

"No home?"

Xiayun was slightly taken aback.He looked up and down the child, only to find that his clothes were thin, his thin limbs were still covered with bruises and bloodstains, his face was red from the cold, and he looked pitiful.

With a thought in her mind, Xia Yun secretly thought that the child might be a beggar, so she calmed down and said as softly as possible: "Little friend, what's your name? Where did you live before?"

The child blinked and said in a low voice: "I don't have a name, they all call me Asu. I used to work in Washington, but now..."

He paused and didn't say any more.

Xia Yun was taken aback, and said, "A Su? Which word Su is it?"

Only then did he realize that the child in front of him actually had a familiar spiritual flow.

Although that face is more similar to Fengyan, this aura clearly carries a nostalgic warmth.

The childish boy said: "It's the word "Su" for recovery.My father's surname is Su, so everyone calls me Asu. "

Xiayun couldn't help pressing the child's shoulder, and said, "Your father's surname is Su? Then do you know a person named "Su Lan"?" "

The childish boy shook his head and said: "I don't know, I have lived in Washington since I was a child, and I don't even remember the faces of my parents."

He glanced at Xiayun cautiously, and asked, "Master Immortal, what's wrong with you?"

Xiayun withdrew her hand, with a look of disappointment on her face: "It's okay. Your name is Asu, right? It's too cold today, let me take you back to the palace first."

The childish child opened his mouth slightly and said, "Go back to the palace? Could it be you..."

Xiayun didn't answer, just sat cross-legged, closed her eyes silently and collected her breath.After he rested for a while and confirmed that he still had room to teleport, he bent down and picked up the child, saying:

"Hurry up."

The child picked up the silver umbrella, looked at his dirty hands, wiped it on his clothes, and then carefully pulled Xiayun's sleeve.

Seeing that he had grasped it well, Xiayun turned around on the spot and moved directly back to Liyang Hall.He put the child in his arms to the ground and said, "You can stay here for one night."

The childish boy looked around and said, "My lord, is this place?"

Xia Yun said: "Don't call me sir, just call me Palace Master. This is my bedroom, you can sleep on the bed in the corner."

Xiayun originally wanted to arrange for the child to rest in the Liyang Palace, and then return to the Wanren Mountain cave, but when the child heard this, he waved his hands in a panic and said: "Palace, Palace Master, do you have a firewood room here? ? I'll sleep right there."

Xiayun said: "Why, is there something wrong here?"

Zhitong shook the clothes on his body, feeling a little embarrassed: "No, this place is very good, but there is so much dust on my body, it will stain this place."

He said, as if thinking of something, he said eagerly: "Of course, it doesn't have to be a firewood room. If the palace master doesn't mind, I can stay on the steps outside the palace for one night."

Xiayun glanced at him, then moved away quickly: "I told you to rest here. I'm leaving and I'll be back tomorrow morning. I don't want to see a frozen corpse."

The child was startled, and said: "Yes."

Xiayun didn't respond much, so she flew back to the cave.He closed his eyes for a while, and spit out a few mouthfuls of black blood.

If it was in the past, how could he be so weak that even a magic weapon could easily block his attack?

Xiayun thought bitterly, but the exhaustion and pain in his body were layer upon layer, which quickly made him fall asleep.

That night, Xiayun dreamed back to what happened 300 years ago, as if revisiting in detail.

In his dream, he saw many faces that were no longer there, including those that he didn't want to remember...

When Xiayun woke up, it was already noon the next day.He was in an unusually bad mood, so he casually put the white mask with gold patterns on his face, then moved one by one, and returned to Liyang Hall.

He didn't think that child would be like himself, sleeping until midnight, but when he looked around, he saw a small figure beside his bed.

What are you doing, sleeping so soundly?Didn't even wake up from the collapse?

Xiayun took a few steps closer and found that the bed was neatly made, it didn't look like it had been laid on by someone.

—Could it be that the child slept on the ground all night?

Just after the frost last night, and it coincided with the snowfall, the floor was icy cold.The toddler's clothes were thin, and he seemed to be frozen, and he huddled into a ball, leaning against the edge of the bed to fall asleep.

Xiayun's heart softened, she leaned over and patted the child's back, and said softly, "Asu, get up."

……

The toddler didn't respond.His eyes were closed tightly, his face was a little red, and there were still beads of sweat on his forehead.

Xiayun reached out to touch Tanzhitong's forehead, but it was completely cold.His heart tightened, he turned the child over, and checked his breathing and heartbeat.

Although the child's forehead was cold, his body was scorching hot, and he developed a high fever.Xia Yun frowned, picked up the child from the ground, and put it on the bed.After thinking for a while, he picked up the quilt on the side and carefully covered him.

With Xiayun's action, the child was also awakened.He opened his eyes in a daze, and at the same time he caught a glimpse of Xiayun, he suddenly sat up, stretched out his hand to cover his face, and said in a trembling voice: "I... I was wrong, stop hitting, stop hitting."

After he finished speaking, his hands softened again, and he fell backwards.Xiayun quickly swept the unconscious person back under the bed, and then meditated.

It seems that this Disobedience Hall cannot be visited today.

Xia Yun's eyes swept over the bruises on the child's face.He sighed softly, picked up the silver umbrella beside the bed, put it beside the childish child, then got up and walked to the entrance of the hall.

When Xiayun felt uncomfortable, she just endured it and passed it, so she didn't know how to take care of the patient.

He thought about finding someone to ask about the way to reduce the fever, but just as he opened the door of the temple, he saw a white figure.

"Palace Master."

The person who reported to him yesterday was already waiting outside.Look at the falling snow on the shoulders, it must have been waiting for at least half an hour.

Feeling guilty, Xiayun asked: "Qijuan, the trial day has just passed, and you deliberately came to Liyang Hall, but what's the matter?"

The chess judge stepped forward, bowed and said: "To tell you the truth, there was a major murder in the south of the city last night, and hundreds of people were killed in the fire. I ordered people to search within a radius of ten miles, but there was no clue. It is from the past. Report to the Palace Master Ming, and I hope the Palace Master will show you."

Xiayun pondered for a while, then said: "The murder case is only half a day away, you are in a hurry to report this matter, but you have other questions?"

The chess judge nodded and said: "That's right. When I was investigating, I heard that the Palace Master passed by the south of the city last night. I don't know..."

Xiayun thought of the old man who met last night at the bag stall, and knew that the chess judge was clever, so he must have guessed his identity from the old man's statement.

He nodded slightly, and said: "I did go to the scene, but I couldn't prevent the tragedy from happening. Qi judge, do you know what "Mie Yan" is? "

Xia Yun asked suddenly, and after thinking for a while, the judge replied: "Mie Yan is one of the magical weapons created by the Lin family. It has been destroyed because it is too dangerous."

He squinted his eyes and said: "According to the intention of the Palace Master, it was Mie Yan who burned down Hualin Second Mansion last night?"

Xia Yun said: "The "extinguishing flame" in your mouth is shaped like a giant python, and its body looks like it is burning, and it swallows flames from its mouth, and everything it passes is burned? "

Qi Juan said: "Looking at the past records, it is indeed so. When the Lin family tried this magic weapon, if they hadn't set up an enchantment around it, they would have engulfed the Lin mansion and even the entire south of the city in flames.

The speed of the fire python was extremely fast, and it was not controlled by the owner of the magic weapon, so Lin Shuo, the head of the Lin family, was forced by public opinion to destroy it in full view. "

He paused, and then said: "If what the palace lord sees is true, I'm afraid Lin Shuo was unwilling to reconcile, and followed the original method to create a new flame-extinguishing. Judging from the number of charred corpses at the scene of the bloody crime, it may be The two families have been feuding for a long time, and they agreed to fight last night.

The Lin family was at a disadvantage in the battle, so Lin Shuo threw Mie Yan out angrily, but it was still out of his control, so he and the Hua family ended up in trouble. "

Xiayun nodded slightly, recalling last night's strange umbrella and that strange golden light barrier in her mind.

From this point of view, did the child's actions last night protect other people in the south of the city?

Seeing that Xiayun didn't respond, the chess judge thought that he didn't agree with his inference, so he said, "Of course, this is just my subordinate's inference. As for the truth, we have to wait for witnesses and physical evidence to be found before making a decision."

Xiayun said "hmm" and said, "Qi judge, will you take care of the children?"

The chess judge was stunned for a moment, and said, "Child?"

Xia Yun said: "If someone has a high fever and faints in front of your eyes, what will you do?"

Qi judge said: "This... If you are capable, please hire a doctor for him?"

Xia Yun said: "Besides this, is there any other way?"

The chess judge hesitated for a while, and said: "My subordinate once had a high fever when I was a child. Since I didn't have the money to hire a doctor, my mother took a piece of wet cloth and put it on my forehead. After about a cup of tea, I wet the cloth again. Repeatedly. After a few times, the fever gradually subsided."

He thought for a while, and then said: "I was in a daze from the fever, and my mother cooked porridge for me to drink. After three days, my body recovered."

Xia Yun said: "Three days? Does it take that long?"

The chess judge said: "It depends on how serious the burn is. Palace Master, why do you suddenly ask this question?"

Xiayun said: "It's okay, just ask casually."

Qi Juan said: "Since that's the case, then this subordinate has the courage to ask. How did the palace master know that the fire python he saw last night was named "Mie Yan"? "

Xia Yun was silent for a while, and said: "I rescued a person from the fire scene last night, and he is still in a coma. When he wakes up, I will personally interrogate him about last night."

The chess judge bowed to each other and said, "If that's the case, I will trouble the Palace Master."

Just as he was about to leave, Xia Yun said, "The matter of that person being brought back by me, you should keep it a secret for now."

The judge hesitated for a while, and said: "This subordinate obeys."

After he finished speaking, he bowed respectfully, and then walked towards the palace gate.

The author has something to say:

The chess judge is the master Wen judge who appeared in the chapter "Hualin Bloody Case", and he also serves as the judge of the Disobedience Palace, and he can also be regarded as Xuehua's benefactor in a certain way.

The go board in Xuehua's west hall was left by the chess judge.
