Chapter 501: Avoiding Danger

At this time, the wind blew again, the wind helped the fire, and the fire borrowed the power of the wind, which ignited most of the lamp market in an instant, reflecting the blood red of the night sky, and also reflecting the pupils of the emperor on the Wufeng Tower!

"All nations are guilty, and the sin is bowing!" Zhu Di woke up from his anger at this time, there were not many things that the emperor was afraid of, only the vision of heaven and earth, which made him feel deep fear. Because the Son of Heaven was ordered by the heavens, the floods, fires, locusts, earthquakes, and plagues were all regarded as warnings from God, Zhu Di originally didn't believe in this, but an incident that happened a few years ago made him have nightmares, and the dragon's body deteriorated, and he gradually became superstitious.

For the Yongle Emperor, the fire in front of him was a warning from the Heavenly King Lao Tzu, and for the people who were in a pot of porridge on the streets in front of the palace, it was like falling into hell. The boundless fear spread rapidly, and people ran around like headless flies, colliding with each other, squeezing, and trampling countless people! On the entire royal street, there are the voices of grandmothers calling for children, wives looking for husbands, screaming and crying in pain......

"Official, let me down!" Lin Qing'er was still on Wang Xian's back, she was already frightened, and said silently: "I'll drag you down!" ”

"Shut up!" Wang Xian scolded, but tied the two tightly with his belt, "If you want to die, you will die together!" ”

"Official......" Lin Qing'er buried his head deep in his shoulder, and the happiness of living and dying together diluted his fear a lot.

But Wang Xian didn't want to die, let alone let Lin Qing'er die, he tied Sister Lin tightly to his back, just to escape. After so many moments of life and death, he can always calmly assess the situation, he knows that the biggest threat to the road is not from the fire, but from the panic of the crowd - this Yuqian Street is empty and vast, in fact, it is the best place to take refuge, the fire is raging, it looks terrifying, but it is just a mountain of lights connected to each other that has been ignited, and in fact has no ability to engulf the crowd. But fear spreads like a tide, people have lost the ability to think, even if there is a calm person like him, you must follow the flustered crowd with the tide, otherwise no matter how high your martial arts are, you will be knocked to the ground and trampled into a meatloaf......

But it is also extremely dangerous to go with the flow, as long as someone in front of you accidentally falls, they will trip a piece, and the people behind are seen in advance, but there are human walls in all directions, and they can't avoid it at all, so they can only watch it trip and be pressed by the people behind......

In the crowd, Wang Xian was anxious, desperately resisting the pressure from all directions, while trying his best to find a way, but at this time he felt that the manpower was so small that there was no way to do it...... The only way to do this is to be vigilant and pray that those in front of you will not fall. At this time, he saw that the crowd had parted to both sides, and it turned out that a brightly lit mountain of lights was in front of him! The lamp mountain is more than three zhang high, and the underground shelves are naturally dense, and people are busy running for their lives, so they can't care about their feet, and there are people on both sides who are tripping. The people behind pressed one after another......

In the blink of an eye, Wang Xian was also squeezed in front of Dengshan, to the left or to the right, he had to make a choice immediately, and Wang Xian's choice was...... Downward. He rolled on a lazy donkey and rolled under the shelf with Lin Qing'er on his back. Others only thought that he had fallen down without heart, and no one expected that he would dare to drill under the lamp mountain...... Even if someone expected it, they didn't dare to follow him. Because people don't realize that their worst enemy is not fire, but themselves.

The people outside panicked and fled for their lives, but Wang Xian untied his belt and let Lin Qing'er lie on the ground side by side with him to take a breath. I wasn't tired carrying Lin Qing'er on my back, but I was so nervous just now that I was sweating profusely.

"Grandma, it's ......" Wang Xiangang wanted to scold, but he forcibly held back the dirty words and said: "If you come out to see a lantern, you can also encounter a fire." ”

"Official, this mountain of lights won't catch fire." Lin Qing'er asked in a low voice while carefully wiping his sweat with her sleeve.

"It's hard to say." Wang Xian looked at the mountain of lights that was swaying by the crowd, and the hundreds of lanterns hanging on it were shaking westward, and the oil lamps contained in it could tip over at any time, igniting the lanterns made of silk and bamboo. couldn't help but smile bitterly: "It's fine, but if you linger any longer, you can't do it." ”

"So what do we do?" Although Lin Qing'er is willing to live and die with her husband, she doesn't want to die, let alone let Wang Xian die.

"Don't worry, I'll take a look......" Wang Xian looked around, although there was only a gap of about one foot at the bottom of the lamp mountain, but through the dense bamboo poles, you could see that the distance between the heads was very large, forming a huge hollow. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and said, "We'll stay here and stay, even if this mountain of lights really burns, it won't matter...... Well, it's already burning...... "Under the unsparing push of the crowd outside, finally a lantern was ignited by the oil lamp inside, and it turned into a fireball, and the panic of the crowd suddenly increased several times, desperately trying to leave this dangerous lamp mountain, and I don't know how many mortals to trample on.

Lin Qing'er was terrified and hugged Wang Xian tightly, Wang Xian hurriedly took off her coat, spread it on the ground, and then put his puzzled wife on it and pressed it on her...... This was a very charming action, but it made Lin Qing'er burst into tears, and said in her heart, why do you bother, official, if you die, how can I live alone?

Wang Xian put his big coat on his back again, covered the two of them tightly, and said with a smile: "Life and death are fate, wealth is in the sky, and it is simply out of sight." ”

At this time, the bamboo pole that hung the lamp was also ignited, and then more palace lamps were ignited, and more bamboos were ignited, and the lamp mountain was about to become a sea of fire. Wang Xian and Lin Qing'er lay on the ground, but they didn't feel cold at all, but they were both sweating hot......

"Official," Lin Qing'er thought that she was in a catastrophe, hugged Wang Xian and cried: "After we are burned to death, can people still recognize us as two people?" ”

"What nonsense, you can't burn to death." Although Wang Xian was a little unsure, he decided to believe in science.

"Woo, it's all at this time, the official doesn't need to comfort the concubine," Lin Qing'er cried: "It is the blessing of the concubine to be able to live and die with the official, but it is a pity that I didn't give the official a child." Fortunately, Sister Baoyin has ......"

"Ugh." Wang Xian stiffened and said, "Do you know the way?" ”

"It's all this time, do the officials still want to hide it from me?" Lin Qing'er pounded his mouth and said sadly: "If the concubine doesn't even know what her husband is doing outside, this wife will be too much of a failure." ”

"No, this ......" Wang Xian didn't expect that she had already known the Tao, and couldn't help but be embarrassed: "Qing'er, listen to me, I didn't want to hide anything from you, isn't it a holiday today, and we're just reunited...... I'm going to tell you about it after the holidays. ”

"Woo woo......" Lin Qing'er cried even more sadly, and whimpered: "The officials actually see me as that kind of jealous and vicious woman, our family has a child, it's too late for me to be happy, how can I be unhappy!" "In this era, whether it is the side room or the concubine, all the children are under the name of the main wife.

"Ha Luha, I didn't mean that......" Wang Xian meant this, holding his wife's hair and said, "I just want to accompany Qing'er well." ”

"Official......" Lin Qing'er raised her head and looked at him with teary eyes: "Qing'er is not very useless......

"......" Wang Xian's heart darkened, she really cared about it. Hurriedly comforted his wife and said: "This kind of thing is just hitting the stubble, and you can get it done once you encounter that stubble, and you may not be able to touch it if you are unlucky." But it doesn't matter, touch it a few times, touch it, touch it, touch it, Saying that, he pretended to pinch his wife **** easily and said: "This ass egg can definitely give birth!" ”

Lin Qing'er let her husband's gossip flutter, and then said heartbrokenly: "But we don't have a chance to touch again!" ”

"Don't worry, there's definitely a chance." Wang Xian said with confidence.

"Then we have made an appointment, when we cross the Nai He Bridge, don't drink Meng Po soup, okay?" Lin Qing'er looked at him directly, for fear that she would forget it when she arrived in the underworld.

"Hehehe......" Wang Xian showed his wife's slender waist and laughed silently, "I can't imagine that my ice and snow smart Qing'er also has times when he is confused." ”

"Confused?" Lin Qing'er was immersed in life and death just now, ignoring the situation around her, let Wang Xian a little at this time, she noticed something strange at the moment, and suddenly said: "Yes, it's been so long, why haven't we died yet?" ”

"I couldn't have died." Wang Xian smiled and lifted the big curtain on his head, Lin Qing'er's eyes suddenly brightened, only to see that the original burning Dengshan had been basically extinguished, and the upper layer of Dengshan had been burned to ashes, but the bottom layer was basically intact by three feet on the ground, and you could still see that there were black-red embers on the half-section of those bamboo tubes, which were blown by the wind, making a crackling sound from time to time, pulling out a string of obscure sparks......

"Official, official, is this the blessing of the Buddha?" Lin Qing'er couldn't believe her eyes, how could such a fierce fire stop when it burned to the base, if it weren't for her husband being so sure before, she would really become a believer in the Buddha completely. "How do officials know that the fire can't be burned?"

"Hehe......" Wang Xian also smiled happily. He was also grateful, but not believing in God, but thanking the elementary school nature teacher in his previous life. Thanks to her for letting her know that when the flame is burning, due to the basic nature of thermal expansion and contraction, the air has to produce convection, so the overall flame is towards the ground, and the bottom temperature is much lower than the upper part, only a little higher than the normal temperature. Although the fire on the mountain was large, it burned from above, and it was difficult to burn downward. And the entire lamp mountain is hollow, and there will not be many things that are on fire and will not ignite the base. Therefore, after Wang Xian saw the shape of the lamp mountain, he judged that it was a good place to avoid fire under the base.

However, the gleeful smugness on Wang Xian's face only flickered, because he heard the sound of mourning everywhere outside......
