Hu Guiyang felt that the scene in front of him was a little blurry. The green flame seemed to be more vigorous, but it did not illuminate the larger space. It kept jumping. The heads in the fire were both real and illusory, and the voices around him were sometimes far and sometimes close...

Hu Guiyang knew that he was caught, and the problem was in the cup of tea just now. Perhaps there were other effects. He vaguely smelled a slight fragrance.

The crowd on the kneeling ground shouted, looking crazy like a drunk, but no one left his place.

"I beg my mother to send me the fire and I, I am willing to sacrifice myself to kill the demons!"

"Give me real fire!"

"I'm willing to kill the demon!"

The words "true fire" and "demon-slaying" are spit out from almost everyone's mouths. Even He Wu Crazy was infected and knelt on the ground and screamed.

Hu Guiyang also shouted a few times, secretly pinching his thighs hard, trying to keep himself awake.

A man in the second row suddenly stood up, roared, crossed the first row, and rushed towards the flames. He was more than ten steps away. He was hit by a small ball of green fire shot out from the old mother of the fire. The man stopped, his whole body was stiff, as if he was enduring great pain.

The hall was silent, and everyone was looking at the man who stood up.

"Ah--" The man only held on for a while, screamed, and fell to the ground and rolled around, and the green flame on his chest was clearly visible.

No one came forward to help, the man put out the fire on his body and returned to his original position in a mess, with a look of shame and disappointment.

His failure did not scare away the enthusiasm of others, and immediately someone stood up and rushed forward to accept the test of "true fire".

Everyone continued to do so, but the rare thing was that they maintained order. One person stood up and the others would never move.

Hu Guiyang remembered the scene when he was a teenager. He and more than a dozen brothers went out to drink secretly, all of whom were drunk. I don’t know who started the head, jumping into the river one by one, and didn’t care whether it was safe.

The status of these people in front of me is so similar to that at that time.

Even Hu Guiyang himself had the impulse to try it out, and even guessed that all this was prepared for him.

But the hall was not a temporary achievement, and believers did not seem to be a temporary piece of paper. Hu Guiyang decided to leave the city and come to the He family a few hours ago. Even if the news leaked at that time, it would be impossible for someone to set up such a complex trap in such a short time.

Hu Guiyang thought too much, but his mind was not completely lost. The man next to him was much simpler - He Wu, a madman, jumped up, rushed forward with strange steps, screaming.

Hu Guiyang didn't have time to stop it.

"I want to be really hot!" He Wu madman opened his arms and rushed over, limping, which seemed more urgent than others.

Unfortunately, he was not the winner either. After Green Fire was on his body, he immediately burned, causing him to roll around the ground and screamed more tragically than others.

After returning to his original position, he seemed to regret his actions just now and was very upset.

The light in the hall was extremely poor. Hu Guiyang took a few glances and found that there were not many signs of burning on the front of He Wu's clothes. The green fire just looked fierce.

The believers still went forward one by one to accept the real "baked" test, leaving in a mad manner, and returning in a weak state, and some people simply lay on the ground and remained motionless.

Hu Guiyang felt that it was time to go on stage. His purpose was to "bite the bait". But for some reason, others could choose the best time to get up and not conflict with each other. Just as after negotiation, Hu Guiyang couldn't do it. He always stood up too late and only took the lead. However, someone in the front row still stepped forward and did not give him a chance at all.

I don’t know how long it has been, but Hu Guiyang has given up trying and things have changed.

A somewhat familiar voice sounded behind the back, stern and calm, completely different from the group of people in the hall who seemed like drunks.

"Take all these evil people!"

Hu Guiyang remained half-awake, but he didn't even notice when the officers and soldiers arrived, and he had already surrounded the hall halfway.

Others were not concerned about the situation outside the world at all. They were like not hearing it, still facing the green fire, kneeling, and paralyzing. Another person stood up instead of running away, but continued to seek the true fire.

The old woman in the flames saw the officers and soldiers, and showed an angry expression. She did not speak, and quickly disappeared, and the flames weakened accordingly.

The fire seeker who had just run through the first row seemed to trip up by something, fell down, and shouted "Ouch". This sound was more effective than the threat of officers and soldiers. All believers woke up like a dream, all stood up and found themselves surrounded. After a moment of at a loss, they began to break through.

There were endless calls, rebukes, screams, and fights. The only few torches were extinguished, leaving only a few feet tall green fire left, which was still shrinking.

The familiar voice sounded again: "Clog the exit, all exits!"

It turned out that there was more than one passage in the hall, and seven or eight were distributed in different places, and believers were trying to escape in dispersion.

Hu Guiyang stood up and turned his head to look. He Wu's figure could no longer be found. He did not look for anyone, turned around to see the familiar voice, and did not follow the believers to escape, but went against the trend and ran towards the shrinking green fire.

After following his adoptive father to catch monsters for many years, he has exposed countless scams, and encountered unexplained phenomena, it is impossible for Hu Guiyang not to be curious.

And that premonition was still lingering: the fire was prepared for him.

In the darkness, he collided with others several times, and almost tripped by the believers lying on the ground, but he still approached Green Fire step by step.

Before the fire was completely extinguished, Hu Guiyang came closer and finally saw his true face.

It turned out that it was a large square pit, filled with flammable objects such as wood blocks, and there should be mechanisms on both sides of the left and right, which can blow wind or spray oil, pigments and other things at any time.

The big and small colors and the green colors are explained, and the image of the old woman in the fire is a mystery. Hu Guiyang walked around the square pit, walked to the side to check, reached out to explore the wall, and quickly found a clue. It turned out that there was a concave small door on the wall, which allowed only one person to enter, and the color and the wall were integrated, making it difficult to be discovered.

The officers and soldiers were still fighting with believers. One side wanted to break through the siege frantically, while the other side was excited to make contributions, but refused to give in.

Hu Guiyang flashed into the door, stepped on a small platform after a few steps, stomped his feet, but did not notice the mechanism. When he turned around, he actually saw the scene in the hall. He reached out and touched it, and his fingers were cold. It turned out that it was not a whole stone wall. There was a transparent thing at most people's height, like crystal, and his eyes could penetrate, just facing the fire pit. The scene he saw was slightly deformed, but it was very clear.

There were only two fires left in the hall. One was the green fire in front of Hu Guiyang, which looked weak, but in fact there was still a very high in the pit. The other was above the entrance stairs opposite, and more than a dozen torches illuminated a large area. The person standing in the middle to command the officers and soldiers was the fifth brother Hu Guimeng.

It turned out that the fifth brother had already set his sights on this group of people. Hu Guiyang followed the line of He Baiwan to chase him here, but he didn't see He Baiwan's figure, and the old woman didn't know where she went.

Hu Guiyang was about to look for it carefully when he heard a bang, and the fire in the pit burned again, suddenly rising several feet, as green as jade, which scared him and took a step back.

The officers and soldiers in the hall suspended the fight with the believers, and looked at the sudden green fire and the newly appeared avatars in the fire.

In front of everyone, Hu Guiyang laughed without rushing and raised his voice and said, "Who can tell me that I have become a god or a demon?"

No one answered, only the fifth brother Hu Gui on the steps in the distance shouted in surprise: "Brother 36!"

Hu Guiyang felt unsatisfied, and suddenly had a whim. He coughed, and instead said in a low voice: "Sentient beings, why don't you kneel down?"

He didn't see the reaction in the hall because something grabbed his belt and pulled it into the darkness.

Although he was down-to-earth, his body was rising rapidly. Hu Guiyang was both surprised and excited, "Ha, this is quite interesting."

A voice behind him said, "You are so bold."

"If you don't believe it, you will naturally not be afraid." Hu Guiyang raised his head and saw the faint light above.

The upward passage was not long and soon reached the top. This was a room with an oil lamp lit. Six strong men were divided into two groups, twisting three turntables. The ropes on the turntables pulled the wooden plate underground up with people.

Hu Guiyang stepped onto the ground, turned around and said to He Baiwan: "It's disappointing. I thought I had really encountered ghosts and gods."

He Baiwan smiled and said, "Ghosts and gods are hard to predict, so they don't show up in such things."

"Where is the old mother who grows fire?" Hu Guiyang didn't see the old woman.

He Baiwan did not answer, but said to the six strong men: "It can be sealed, alas, all the hard work for decades will be abandoned in one go."

The strong men cut off the rope with their knives, and the wooden plate fell down. There were already stone plates prepared next to them, which were as thick as the passage. The six people worked together to lift them. They just threw a few pieces into the passage and could completely seal them. The people inside could only come out from other passages.

"Let's go." He Baiwan said.

"Your son is still below."

"Everyone has his own destiny, I believe he won't lose his life."

The strong man blocked the passage, and Hu Guiyang and He Baiwan walked out of the room. The sky was already slightly brighter. He Baiwan first left the yard to check, and quickly waved to indicate that there was no danger outside.

Hu Guiyang didn’t know which alley it was, but he didn’t see the officers and soldiers. “Fifth brother did not investigate carefully this time.”

"Hey, it's amazing that he can find the entrance to the Suzaku Temple. Let's go."

After many twists and turns, the two walked to the east end of Shenmuchang Street. It was getting brighter and there were pedestrians coming and going on the street. Looking west, you could see a large number of officers and soldiers near the Fire God Temple.

He Baiwan led the way and turned into another alley. He Baiwan stopped in front of a family, looked around and saw that there was no outsider. He pushed open the door that was hidden and stepped into the yard.

Hu Guiyang followed in and asked, "It's time to meet the He family's 'relatives'?"

He Baiwan smiled and said, "You are now the 'Successor of the Fire God', and you can see anyone you want."

"I want to meet the person who insists on turning me into a demon fox."

He Baiwan put away his smile, "What a coincidence, we are like-minded in this regard. Come on, I will introduce you to a few people, which will help you. If you don't believe in ghosts and gods, I won't force you. I just want you to know that the world is vast and cannot be fully mastered by the court, and it is not just the emperor."
