Chapter 14 The Dyeing Workshop Fire
As a large amount of food entered his stomach, the unbearable feeling of hunger finally gradually disappeared. Looking at the large pot of food in front of him, he had already seen it. Even so, Li Xun felt that he had just eaten 70% full.
Someone on the side of the night watchman who was originally holding a large pot for dinner like Li Xun had already burped and said with emotion after eating the second or even the third pot of food: "I didn't expect that this magical magic of refining the body would consume so much energy. I almost starved to death just now."
Although the others did not speak, they all showed a look of agreement. Obviously, these people were like that person, and chose the magical secret techniques of body refining.
Li Xun spent a tael of silver to eat a second basin of food again, and finally filled his stomach.
Walking out of the canteen, Li Xun sighed while feeling his own changes: "Cultivation is really not something that ordinary people can afford. No matter how simple food is, it is impossible to withstand it without a little wealth."
Just as I was sighing, a figure rushed towards the canteen. Who would it be if it were Mao Xiaoding?
Seeing Mao Xiaoding's appearance, Li Xun couldn't help laughing. Mao Xiaoding practiced the most authentic magical powers in body refining. Needless to say, it must be the entry of secret techniques that led to insufficient energy supply in the body.
Mao Xiaoding greeted Li Xun and rushed into the canteen, and then repeated Li Xun's previous incident.
A great sun in the sky was hanging above the nine heavens, but it had been a night. Mao Xiaoding, who had eaten and drunk enough, walked in the same place with Li Xun, with a look of joy on his face and said, "Brother Li, I have already started practicing. You are smarter than me, so you must have started too!"
While they were talking, the two returned to their residence. In the huge room, Zheng Youwen lay there weakly. He jumped up when he heard the sound of the door opening, and said with a look of anticipation on his face: "You two are finally back."
Sitting down, Li Xun glanced at Zheng Youwen and said, "You are..."
Zheng Youwen looked at the two of them and said, "There was a big deal in the city last night, so you probably don't know."
Seeing Zheng Youwen's solemn appearance, Li Xun looked at Mao Xiaoding and slowly shook his head.
As soon as they came back yesterday evening, they entered the secret room to practice. They came out not long ago and didn't even have time to talk to others. How could they know what was happening in the city?
Mao Xiaoding was born as a beggar and developed the habit of paying great attention to any movement. He looked at Zheng Youwen and said, "Brother Zheng, please tell me quickly, what happened in the city?"
Zheng Youwen took a deep breath and said with a serious expression: "A fire in the Yan family dyeing workshop in the north of the city burned dozens of dyeing workers to death last night. The county master and even the chief lieutenant were alarmed. Early in the morning, they each brought their own constables and night watchmen to the Yan family dyeing workshop to check the situation."
Li Xun sat aside and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard this, "It's just a fire, why did it trigger the highest commander of the Night Watch Office in a county, and the commander of the Crown Evil took action personally? Could it be that this fire has any connection with the evil spirit?"
In a county, the county lord is a seventh-rank official who is in charge of the government affairs of a county. The evil commander is also a seventh-rank official. The parents and officials of the same county are of the same level and do not belong to each other.
It is possible to imagine how big the fire in the Yan Dyeing House was to be alarmed at the same time.
Mao Xiaoding nodded from the side and said, "Our Duwei is a powerful man in the Yin Shen Realm. He practiced the secret technique of "Huanyuan Yiqi Great Grabbing Hand" to the realm of transformation. Even if he is an evil spirit in the same realm, he can only catch it with one move. Even if there is anything on weekdays, it is usually a few masters of the strong. I hope that the Yan family fire has nothing to do with the evil spirits, otherwise it will not be a good thing for us night watchmen."
The Night Watch Office is an institution of the court, independent of the court, and is directly responsible to the present day, and has its own hierarchy system.
The evil-killing men in the Yangshen realm are comparable to those in a county. They are eighth-rank officials registered in the court, and the evil-killing men in the Yinshen realm are seventh-rank officials who can compare with their parents in a county.
Like Fengchi County, the highest official position in the Night Watch Office is the commander of Zhuxie in the Yinshen Realm.
Don’t underestimate the existence of the Yin Shen Realm. Such existences have condensed the soul, so that the soul can leave the body, control various treasures to trap the enemy, kill the enemy, fly to the sky and escape, and travel thousands of miles a day is just a matter of time.
The evil-killing ranks of the Spirit Realm, the evil-killing ranks of the Yin Shen Realm, and the evil-killing ranks of the Yang Shen Realm, correspond to the eighth, seventh and sixth ranks of the orthodox officials. They can be said to be the middle and low-level backbone of the Night Watch Office, and they are also the largest class, supporting the existence and operation of the Night Watch Office.
Anything that alarms the top leader in a place, it should not be underestimated.
Li Xun, Mao Xiaoding, Zheng Youwen and others knew this, so it was not surprising that they had bad thoughts when they learned that a fire in the Yan family dyeing workshop alarmed the county lord and the commander of the Zhuxie County, the two officials with the highest positions in Fengchi County.
As he was guessing, a voice suddenly echoed in the Night Watch. Unless he was practicing in the secret room, the rest could hear it clearly.
"All night watchmen gather at the school site immediately."
Li Xun, Mao Xiaoding and Zheng Youwen looked at each other, and immediately changed into black robes. The coffins distributed on their backs headed towards the large schoolyard of the Nightmare Warriors.
It was only half a cup of tea, and everyone who could gather in Fengchi County Night Watch was already gathered on the school ground.
Putting aside more than a dozen people practicing in the secret room, there were almost 70 or 80 people gathered on the school ground, 90% of the night watchmen were carrying a coffin, and only five or six were wearing robes embroidered with dark golden strongman's handwriting. A small coffin with a dark aura hung around her waist, standing in front of the school ground.
These people can tell just by looking at their robes and clothes, which are comparable to those of the eighth-grade officials. The eighth-grade evil-killing powerhouse can sacrifice and refine coffins with the power of the soul. It is a magic weapon-level coffin that can be sacrificed or small after being sacrificed by the power of the soul. It does not have to carry coffins one by one like ordinary night watchmen, just like coolies.
One of them looked about thirty, with a twisted beard, rosy cheeks, and a burly figure. It was one head taller than the other people. His tiger eyes emitted a splendor, sweeping past the crowd present. Each of them had a sharp edge on their backs, and he felt like he was being targeted by some fierce existence.
This person is the strongest existence under Chen Qi, the commander of the Night Watching Office of Fengchi County. He killed evil spirits, and practiced the magical power of the "Nanming Lihuo Art". With this magical power, even if he encounters evil spirits that are comparable to Yin Shen Realm, he can protect himself.
Lu Si shouted: "Everyone, come with me."
There is no explanation or nothing nonsense. It is completely Lu Si's style, and he doesn't talk much.
None of the night watchmen dared to speak out to touch Lu Si's bad head. They lined up in an orderly line and followed several evil-killing soldiers led by Lu Si to leave the night watchmen.
On the long street, when I saw the Nightmare Warrior and his group, the people who had heard of the fire in the Yan family dyeing workshop couldn't help but point fingers at the Nightmare Warrior and his group.
At this moment, Yan's dyeing workshop has been blocked by the county magistrate, and the people can only watch from a distance and discuss it.
Watching the fun is human nature, not to mention that there is such a big news.
After passing through the crowd, Li Xun and others saw only a courtyard covering an area of more than ten acres in front of them, which was where Yan's dyeing workshop was located. However, the dyeing workshop was full of traces of fire.
The twisted corpses were now parked on the ground covered with ashes. Some were burned beyond recognition. Some were scared although there were no burn marks, and their mouths were opened to breathe hard, while others were directly burned to charcoal.
