I’m afraid I’m the most ridiculous son in the world. For so many years, Zhang Mei has been repressing me, I never even dared to think of going to see my mum and dad, then I became a special forces soldier, my head hung on the waistband of my trousers every day, and now I’ve been back from the military for most of the year, and only at this time did I think of this.
Zhao Zichen pushed me forward: “Don’t think here, go put out the fire first, there is plenty of time to think about this matter.”
The moon is full of mountain walking a few steps reluctant to go forward.
“What are you going to do?”
I was nervous and fumbled for my gun.
Even though Moon Manshan was now on more ether, a tiger was still a tiger, and if he suddenly made any moves, it would still be hard for us to resist.
Yue Manshan said, “I can’t go with you guys to the front, if they see me, Jiang Ming won’t trust me anymore.”
I was relieved to see that he indeed had no intention of attacking us, the leg injury really couldn’t hurt, otherwise I wouldn’t have been so scared of a bloodied Yue Manshan.
“Remember the oath you swore.”
“We Moon family have always said one thing, remember what my brother said too.”
“We don’t have a dime’s worth of interest in your family’s property.”
“It’s not money.”
“Well, Moonmanbow has already said he’s not interested in the position of family either.”
Yue Mangshan gritted his teeth and said, “I can’t trust the character of you villains.”
Zhao Zichen didn’t have the heart to say, “Don’t try to be nice when you’ve got the advantage, if our character was bad, you’d be a dead man by now. Get lost, if you can’t do what you said you would do, it’s not like we can’t clean you up.”
Zhao Zichen said and pressed the play button on his phone, which played out the voice of Yue Manshan speaking just now.
“Jiang Ming is paranoid and won’t want to hear this.”
Yue Manshan was instantly enraged and cursed, “Villain! Worthy of being a villain of the Zhao family! I, Yue Manshan, have always been true to my word, I will see you later.”
He turned his head and ran in the opposite direction of us, and a few of us rushed to the front hill to put out the fire.
By the time we reached the front hill, the fire had already risen through the sky and the east wing of the Thousand Fists Hall was in the midst of a blazing fire, so people couldn’t get in at all.
Everyone was busy putting out the fire and the firemen had arrived on the scene and pulled up the water tanker.
Hu Xingren was surrounded by several people firefighters and was asking about something.
“Hurry up and put out the fire, you guys! Hurry up!”
“We definitely need to put out the fire, so calm down a bit and answer my question, is there anyone else inside?”
“Yes, oh oh no, no ……”
“Is there or isn’t there?”
“I, I can’t remember.”
Hu Xingren was incoherent, really like an old man of his age, his whole being had fallen off.
“What’s wrong with you, Master?” Xiao Gong asked anxiously.
Zhao Zichen said, “It’s bad, Master Hu is old after all, he must be confused now. Xiaogong, talk to the fireman about the construction of the room.”
With Moon Full Bow away and Master Hu already confused by this time, and Wu Yi Yi simply being a little girl, only Zhao Zichen helped them preside over the situation.
Xiao Gong nodded repeatedly, “Why don’t you guys put out the fire first?”
The fire chief said anxiously, “If you say the terrain, you say the terrain. If there are still people in here, once the water gun goes up, do you know how high the temperature of the water vapour will reach? The people inside will cook straight away. Make sure there’s no one inside before we can put out the fire.”
“OK, it’s six floors inside, there are two lifts, two escape staircases to the left and right of the entry door, and fire doors between the main and secondary floors. This room is mainly used as a training hall, and now that no one is training for New Year, I think it’s empty, so I’ll go and count the division.”
The fire chief waved his hand, “Don’t stand still.”
Zhao Zichen poked me with his elbow and told me to look at Hu Xingren, who was now looking at the fire, his face anxious and very worried, not like he was confused, but like he clearly knew there was someone in here.
Zhao Zichen whispered, “It seems that the Thousand Door still has secrets.”
I also had the same thought as Zhao Zichen, that the Thousand Doors had more secrets than we thought.
After two or three minutes, Xiao Gong came running back happily, “It’s alright, there’s a full house. Everyone is getting together for dinner today, I counted the people, there are 45 in total, now they are all full.”
“Good, Lao Chen, put on the water guns!”
“Wait!”
Suddenly, out of nowhere, Hu pounced on the fire chief and held him by the waist, “No, there’s someone inside! There’s two of them!”
Zhao Zichen and I looked at each other, and the fire chief was startled.
Xiao Gong was confused and asked, “Master, who else is there, I’ve counted everyone, who else is there?”
“Master, who else, you tell me.”
“And, and, I can’t remember, you guys go in and save people.”
The fire chief was not happy and shot a wink at Xiao Gong, who knowingly held Hu Xingren in place, then he came over to us and said, “How old is this old man?”
I knew he was trying to ask us if Master Hu was old and confused, and really, not only was the usual Master not confused, but he was quite wise.
I said, “Probably in shock.”
Zhao Zichen also asked, “Comrade, can you send someone in to search?”
The fire chief didn’t have the heart to say, “This is a fire scene, with a central temperature of several thousand degrees, which can burn people straight to carbon. The lives of our fire officers are also born of our parents, as long as we are sure there is no one left, I can’t risk that comrade’s life.”
He beckoned to Xiao Gong and asked, “Are you sure there’s no one left, could someone have sneaked in?”
Komya patted his chest and assured him, “Absolutely no one is there, I know exactly how many people there are in my Thousand Gates, that’s what I’m usually responsible for. All the people who came to cause trouble today were taken away, our own banquet guests and people from the sect, not one more or one less. You can rest assured that there is absolutely no one left.”
Xiao Gong spoke so securely that we believed his words.
I gave a military salute to the fire chief and said, “Thank you for your hard work.”
The fire took a full half hour to put out, as the Thousand Boxing Stadium is very large and after the main fire was out, there was a relapse to prevent.
The entire east sub-block was burnt to a crisp, with only a frame left, and the main block in the middle was blackened.
Fortunately, the fire in the East Annexe did not spread to the Main and West Annexes.
Looking at the East Annex Building, which was burnt to a black frame, several disciples of the Thousand Sects were so angry that they wiped tears from their eyes.
Xiao Gong is very good at what he does. He was too busy putting out the fire to help, so he ordered a lot of fast food for the firefighters to eat.
At first the captain insisted that he didn’t want them, but the firefighting was too long and everyone was hungry and tired, so Xiaogong tried desperately to stuff them, saying that it was just a piece of mind and everyone couldn’t care less.
When the fire was completely extinguished, Hu sat on the ground and wept long tears.
I felt very bad, perhaps he was distressed to see his life’s work being destroyed.
I wanted to go up and comfort him, but I had just gone behind him when suddenly, far away, on one of the hills in the back of the mountain, a firework burst into the sky and exploded gloriously in the air, and right after this firework, Master Hu stood up smiling, wiping his tears.
He changed his face particularly quickly, startling me with an eerie feeling in my heart.
That back mountain was almost a primeval forest, no one must live in it, much less someone going there specifically to set off fireworks, so who on earth was it?
Zhao Zichen walked up next to me at some point and said in a lowered voice, “I think the person who set off the fireworks is the person that Master Hu was worried about just now.”
I nodded silently and muttered in my heart.
Why would he hide this person? These two didn’t look like they were locked up, and Master Hu was worried about them.
The Thousand Sect really did have quite a few secrets.
