An old wooden table was empty on it, but a thick layer of greasy, and there were three people sitting around it.

A man in his thirties, dark skin, covered with scars on his face and hands, "I am a blacksmith." He said, refusing to name him.

A man in his fifties and sixties, his skin was darker and his eyes were full of wrinkles. He looked like he was smiling at the first day of the New Year. When he looked again, he was two unfathomable cold pools, "charcoal-burning." He refused to name him and introduced it more simply.

A person in his twenties, only his face had a real smile, showing a little politeness, "I made candles, maybe you used my goods once."

Hu Guiyang started, "It turns out that all three have a deep relationship with the God of Fire. I am... a lazy person. Isn't the old lady who plays with fire?"

"It's not the time yet." The old charcoal worker said coldly, "You caused us heavy losses as soon as you appeared. Nearly 200 brothers fell into the hands of the government's eagle claws. How can you see the old mother of Fire?"

He Baiwan asked Hu Guiyang to sit on the last stool and stand beside him, "To be fair, this matter has nothing to do with Mr. Hu. The government has been eyeing us for a long time, because of the case of the demon fox, and he has been watching even more closely. Before this sacrifice to the gods, someone suggested that he pause once or change places..."

"If even sacrificing gods is so casual, what else do we believe in? What is the difference between them and those stupid women who worship ghosts and gods at home?" The old charcoal worker has a hot temper.

He Baiwan smiled bitterly, "Not to mention these things, now the God of Fire has chosen Mr. Hu, let's..."

The old charcoal worker slapped the table and raised his hand. A clear handprint was left on the greasy table, "I don't believe it!"

The young wax worker said: "The real fire has indeed ignited for Mr. Hu."

"He stood behind the fire mirror and was not burned by the real fire at all. He couldn't count. He had to try again." The old charcoal worker stared at Hu Guiyang, and the wrinkles around his eyes were stretched out greatly.

The young wax worker shook his head, "The real fire has been extinguished and it will not be ignited again next year. It's too late."

"Then he can't be used, the gangster of the Jinyiwei and the tens of thousands of believers of the Vulcan Sect, can't he choose a demon-removing person?" The old charcoal worker was still unwilling to admit it.

The scene was stalemate, but Hu Guiyang, who was being argued, didn't listen much. He focused on the handprint, stared at it, suddenly raised his head and said to the old charcoal worker: "Can I interrupt and ask a question?"

The old charcoal worker sat down angrily, and He Baiwan said, "Mr. Hu, that's it."

"You really believe in this?"

"What does it mean?" The old charcoal worker clenched his fists.

"I have seen everything underground. Those fires, my mother, are all tricks, and you should know them clearly in your heart."

The old charcoal worker pointed at Hu Guiyang, but looked at his companion, "See it, he doesn't even believe it, but you want to be the descendant of the Fire God?"

"It's not us, it's the God of Vulcan who chose him." He Baiwan corrected.

Before the old charcoal worker could speak, Hu Guiyang retorted first: "To be precise, the guy who controlled the flames chose me. You can ask him for a clear answer."

The other four looked at him with strange eyes, and even the old charcoal worker didn't follow his words.

"What am I wrong? Just spray some oil on the 'real fire', fan the wind, and sprinkle a little mineral powder, and it will explode and turn green. Am I wrong?"

The young wax worker coughed, "It's so careless, it's much more complicated to operate, just green pink..."

"Why tell him this?" The old charcoal worker did not let his accomplices reveal too many secrets.

The young wax worker smiled, "Yes, the key question is not here. That... Lao He, tell me."

He Baiwan continued: "Young Master Hu is right. True fire does need to be controlled. The four of us are the controllers. I am ashamed. When something happened to the Suzaku Temple, we ran faster than anyone else..."

"Is this necessary?" The old charcoal worker once again expressed his dissatisfaction.

He Baiwan had a good temper and smiled and said, "Anyway, when the officers and soldiers arrived, no one controlled the real fire. After Mr. Hu stood on the Virgin Stage, the real fire was ignited by himself. This kind of thing has never happened."

Hu Guiyang didn't believe a word, but he was too lazy to defend himself, "Okay, since that's the case, I'm idle and idle. I'll be the successor of the Fire God. Let's talk about the benefits first."

"Wait, we haven't approved it yet." The old charcoal worker said hurriedly. He believed in real fire, but he didn't believe in the young man in front of him.

"If the successor of the Fire God is to be recognized by mortals, what's the point of the Fire God?" Hu Guiyang learned a lot of arguments from his adoptive father, and he was a leader among his brothers, and therefore seemed to be poisonous. "Are you a higher status than the old mother of Fire? Is the reincarnation of the Fire God the Lord?"

The old charcoal worker was speechless and held it in a while. After turning to the middle-aged blacksmith who had never spoken after introducing himself, he opened his mouth and almost called out his name. He immediately held back, "That... what do you think?"

The blacksmith nodded.

"What do you mean, are you saying something?" The old charcoal worker became anxious.

"The Vulcan has given the answer, I have nothing to say." The middle-aged blacksmith finally spoke.

Even if you admit that Hu Guiyang is the descendant of the Fire God, the blacksmith's words are very important. The old charcoal craftsman sighed again and did not talk more.

Hu Guiyang felt that it was not enough, "You go and ask the old mother of Chuanghuo and listen to her opinions. What is her relationship with the Vulcan God?"

The young wax worker replied: "The old mother of Fire is the voice transmitter of the God of Fire. Apart from that, she does not interfere in the affairs of the religion."

The old charcoal worker frowned and said, "Even if he is the successor of the Vulcan God, there is no need to tell him everything, right? Don't forget that he doesn't believe in these things at all, and he is still the leg of the Jinyiwei."

"Old man, I admit that I am a minion and an eagle claw. I don't need to 'dog legs' at one mouthful, right? If you don't recognize me as the successor of the Fire God, I didn't say I want to be a person. You have to tell me what the benefits are before I can make a decision. This is negotiation, not begging."

Hu Guiyang looked at the four of them one by one. The old charcoal worker lowered his head, his nose was swelling, and obviously suppressing his anger. The other three looked at each other, and He Baiwan said, "Young Master Hu wants to find the demon fox and clear his suspicion. We can help."

"You have a grudge against the demon fox?"

"The demon fox came out last night, and the third person he killed was one of the five elders of the Vulcan Cult."

"Are you elders?"

The four nodded.

"Even you?" Hu Guiyang asked the young wax worker alone.

"The elder has nothing to do with age." The young wax worker smiled. His interest in Hu Guiyang seemed to be stronger than others.

Hu Guiyang turned to He Baiwan, "What is your purpose for using your daughter to attract me? You didn't want me to be the successor of the Fire God from the beginning, did you?"

"Marrying a daughter is sincere. Let's talk about this later. As for the successor of the Fire God, I would never expect it to be you one more hour."

"You flew past the wall last night, didn't you show me?"

He Baiwan nodded, "I do intend to lead you to the Suzaku Temple, but that is to attract you to join the Vulcan Sect. What happened next, no one could have expected, and I would have expected it."

Hu Guiyang admitted that these explanations were reasonable, "Okay, I can say that the demon fox is, what clues do you have?"

This time, the young wax worker spoke, "There are not many clues. We only know that the demon fox has high magic power and can kill people a hundred miles away."

Hu Guiyang smiled and said, "You also suspected me at first and attracted me. In fact, you wanted to avenge the elders who were killed last year?"

The young wax worker was a little embarrassed, He Baiwan said: "No matter what, you are the descendant of the Fire God. For us, this is more powerful than any evidence, which means you are not a demon fox."

"If I'm not selected and killed as a demon fox, are you going to let my daughter be a widow?"

He Baiwan was also a little embarrassed, "What is important is how to deal with the demon fox in the future..."

Hu Guiyang didn't care about the other party's loopholes and smiled and said, "That's right, let's continue talking about the demon fox."

The young wax worker continued: "The demon fox kills people with purpose. Starting from the west city, then the north, east and south sides."

"How many people in your Vulcan Cult have been killed?"

"The target of the demon fox is not just us..." The young wax worker was promptly changed by the old charcoal worker, "Now that the four-sided turn is over, the demon fox has begun to turn to the middle - that is, the palace."

The young wax worker thought that the other party would be shocked when the word "Imperial Palace" appeared, but Hu Guiyang frowned, "No, the demon fox has been killing people in Dongcheng recently, and another time was north of the city. And I have never heard of demon foxes appearing in the palace. Especially after the demon Li Zilong was arrested, the demon fox has not appeared for several months."

The four of them looked at each other again, and after getting their acquiescent, the young wax worker said: "The demon fox is very smart, killing several people to cover up their eyes and ears, and then choosing the real target to start. The matter of Dongcheng and the demon Li Zilong are probably part of the trick. As for the palace, I can tell you that something happened, but the news was blocked and there was no leak."

Hu Guiyang believed that something happened to the palace once, otherwise, the East and West factories would not be so interested in the demon fox.

Regardless of whether the news is true or false, it is of some use. Although Hu Guiyang still has a lot of doubts in his heart, he doesn't want to ask anymore and stand up, "How can you see through the slurs and confirm which person is the real target of murder?"

The young wax worker shook his head without hesitation, "This cannot be said."

"I am the descendant of the Fire God."

"Sorry, this is not something that our Vulcan Cult can do."

"Okay, I have nothing to ask for now, so I'll say goodbye. I'll come to you if I have something to do in the future. These three people will definitely not tell me where they live, so I'll go to the He family."

The four of them were all surprised, and He Baiwan hurriedly said, "Where are you going?"

"Where else can I go? Go home."

"Young Master Hu was chosen as his successor by the God of Fire. This incident was witnessed by the officers and soldiers. You will be like throwing yourself into the trap."

"It is my favorite thing to do now." Since Hu Guiyang decided to stay in the capital, every step he took was "the first to fall into the net". He believed that if he went step by step, he might be able to see the situation earlier. "There are still a few nets waiting for me in the city."

Hu Guiyang was not asking for advice. He yawned, turned around and walked out, and no matter how the people behind him called, he would not turn back.

The descendant of the Fire God left, and the four people in the room looked at each other in the room. The old charcoal worker said, "He doesn't believe us at all. I really don't understand, how could the Fire God... be sinful..." The old charcoal worker whispered a set of scriptures to repent of the sin of doubting God just now.

Hu Guiyang was very satisfied with the gains from leaving the city this time. He found a way to walk towards Chongwenmen. Someone caught up with him behind him. He Baiwan was panting, "Young Master Hu wait."

"You should save some quarrels. I won't marry your daughter. Your son...you can find a way to get it out by yourself. As for the demon fox, I will use my own way to deal with it."

"It's not these things." He Baiwan let out a sigh, "Since you are the descendant of the Fire God, you should learn the Fire God Art."

Hu Guiyang said perfunctorily: "Take it, I won't pay."

He Baiwan smiled and said, "How could he ask for money? The Fire God Art is the treasure of this sect. I am not qualified to teach it. I just came over and reminded me that the Fire God Art will soon find Mr. Hu, soon."

"Don't come when I'm upset. He Baiwan, I'll remind you that one day, I will still avenge my adoptive father."

Hu Guiyang still didn't believe it, but he was no longer as confused as he was at the beginning.
