Chapter 440: A Fainting Along the Way
Since Mengze City is already a dead city, leaving it in the world will only allow strange diseases and stench to breed. It is better to burn it down and put an end to it once and for all.
Li Changxiao used the fire seal to summon flames, and saw black smoke piercing the sky, flames piercing the sky, and layers of heat waves rolling over, truly burning the sky and the earth.
The fire burned for three days and three nights, and Li Changxiao sat on a small hill far away and watched for three days and three nights. It was not that he was sentimental and unwilling to leave, he really had no feelings for Mengze City, he just felt pity and sadness. He also wanted to be arrogant for once, and despite the suspicion of being nosy, he wanted to seek justice for this tragedy that should have been silent forever. Maybe he couldn't get it back, but someone should at least ask about it.
In other words, if even Li Changxiao didn't ask about it, then the deaths of the people here would be a joke.
A cultivator does not say that he has his heart set on heaven and earth, but he should have a certain sense of responsibility when he borrows the power of heaven and earth and enjoys the grace of heaven and earth. Moreover, he himself was looking for the tomb of the God of Dream Dao. For him, this matter was not even a heroic act, but just something that went with his heart, his hand, and the trend.
But that's all later. At the moment, we are just sitting on the mountain and watching the fire, just wanting to keep the fire from spreading to other places.
The flames were rampant. If they burned the mountain and continued to burn, it would be a tragedy. So, Li Changxiao became a fireman. When he saw the fire trying to spread outward, he would pinch the wind with his hands and blow it back.
After three or four days of repairing here and there, they finally burned down everything in the city. The fire lost its "root" and naturally died down.
The fire burned even the bones to ashes, leaving only a charred space.
The wind blows again.
Mengze City was like waking up from a dream, everything disappeared, leaving no trace except a charred ground.
Li Changxiao suddenly slapped his head, feeling extremely annoyed. Before setting the fire, he forgot to find a few wine cellars and take out some jade wine.
One misstep will lead to eternal regret, and he will have to spend money to buy wine in the future. Fortunately, he still has some inherited wealth, so he doesn't have to worry about money for the time being.
When he thought of the silver, he slapped his head again and felt extremely annoyed. Although picking up corpses was a bit immoral, meeting each other was fate, and picking up a large silver ingot would be enough for him to live a carefree life for a long time.
But he was so busy investigating the case that he forgot about it again.
Since it had turned to ashes, Li Changxiao naturally planned to leave. As for where to go, he already had an idea in his mind.
He was heading for the rich town on the east side of Dayu State.
He had noticed that there were several places in Mengze City where the hidden fruits of dreams were hidden. Among the group of mermaids who committed the crime, some were very careful to prevent the humans from tracking them down.
When the dream dark fruit senses the spiritual energy, it will record the image and feed it back to the person who planted the dark fruit. This is a means of counter-reconnaissance.
The God of Dreams also knows this move, which is hidden in the dream of the Three Thousand Strategies of the Great Dream. Li Changxiao, who has comprehended the Three Thousand Strategies of the Great Dream no less than a hundred times, can naturally apply it to other situations and know some of it, but it is mostly useless to him and he has never studied it seriously.
The hidden fruit of the dream was hidden very secretly, and the dream method was very advanced. However, when Li Changxiao opened his dream senses, the hidden fruit of the dream became particularly obvious.
Even the man who grew the fruit was amazed by his dreams, far better than anyone he had ever seen before.
But Li Changxiao could still find it.
Not only that, he could also spy on the other party's situation through reverse dreams. So although Ji Beiming's actions were smart and meticulous, he was ultimately misled by his own cleverness.
Instead, it exposed the whereabouts of himself and others.
However, Li Changxiao was not very familiar with the terrain of Dayu Kingdom, and he had only met them a few times, so his knowledge was limited.
Therefore, he only knew the general direction, but he still had to search for it. Li Changxiao, who was used to searching, would not find it troublesome. Everything in the world is difficult, and the smooth things should be left to dreams.
Reality is always rocky and rugged.
After leaving Mengze City, we walked for more than ten miles and saw a team of officials. It turned out that they had seen a fire rising into the sky nearby and came to investigate.
Li Changxiao ran into them head-on. The other party grabbed Li Changxiao and asked him several questions, asking him where he came from, where he was going, what he was going to do, and whether he had seen the fire.
Li Changxiao answered fluently and honestly. He came from somewhere else and was going somewhere else. He wanted to kill people, and he was the one who set the fire.
When the officer saw this, he became annoyed and thought that this man was playing a trick on him, so he didn't want to let him go. He wanted to torture him and lock him up for a few days to make him behave himself.
"See what you are still so arrogant about."
The officer smugly put on the shackles.
At this time, the constable under his command looked at the official with a strange expression, which annoyed the official and asked, "Look, what are you looking at?"
"Sir, you are talking to yourself. Why do you want to handcuff yourself?" The constable under his command reported truthfully.
It turned out that the constable didn't see anyone, but only saw the official talking to himself, glaring at him, then yelling. Finally, he was very proud and handcuffed his own legs.
The detectives were also wondering, this newly appointed second-generation official, who was difficult to serve and seemed to be here to gild his position, had been pampered for so many years, so what weird habits had he developed?
The officer suddenly woke up as if from a dream. He saw no white-clad swordsman anywhere and thought he had seen a ghost. What was worse was that the key to open the handcuffs was missing.
The rest of the journey will be very uncomfortable for him with shackles weighing more than 20 kilograms.
Li Changxiao watched this scene from a distance, laughed out loud, threw the key to unlock the fish into the fish's belly, and left leisurely.
If someone were here, they would definitely find out that this man who is always out of tune is actually very childish and sometimes likes to play pranks.
He looked at the officer's wailing, sat on a huge rock, and cried with his face covered. No matter how the constable beside him tried to comfort him, it was useless.
Throughout history, he is the only one who has handcuffed himself and can't find the key. This is a huge loss of face. Maybe he will make a scene in the capital of Dayu. His name will be recorded in history.
The more he thought about it, the more scared he became, so he started crying. Not forgetting to vent his anger on the constable, Li Chang left with a smile.
However, although this official was miserable, he was not a good person. He was demoted to a gilded position, and did nothing when the fire burned for three days. When the fire stopped, he brought a few constables to deal with the matter perfunctorily.
Someone has to make him suffer.
As he traveled eastward, Li Changxiao gradually discovered that the Dayu Kingdom was indeed a rich place. The several large cities he passed through were all full of outstanding people and very bustling.
Moreover, the people are quite tough. The spirit of martial arts is everywhere, and martial arts arenas can be seen everywhere.
Let’s talk about this day.
Li Changxiao came to a rich city called Jianghe City.
I actually saw a familiar figure there.
