Metaphysics Live Room: The host is the contract husband

After the fourth elder was sure that the other party was dead, he tidied up the cell. After making sure that there was nothing unusual, he felt relieved and reached out to touch the still warm corpse.

His eyes were filled with resentment: "Don't blame me, if you want to blame someone, blame yourself. Fox demons are naturally wanton, I'm just getting rid of this evil for the people."

Before leaving, he knocked over the kerosene lamp and walked away carrying the unconscious Yizhu. After an unknown amount of time, someone discovered that there was a fire in the cell and shouted at the top of his lungs.

Yizhu slowly woke up and turned to see the man busy drawing talismans. He looked a little confused and said, "Fourth Elder, why am I... here?"

The fourth elder smiled and said gently, "Oh, you came to me to draw a talisman. I asked you to sit and wait. Who knew you would fall asleep without realizing it?"

"Is that so? Why do I seem to remember going to a dungeon?"

"...Is there? You must have remembered it wrongly from your nightmare. Look at how many talismans I've drawn. If I'd been to the dungeon, I wouldn't have had the time to draw them."

Yizhu looked at the piles of talisman paper and nodded blankly. "Oh, that's right. Maybe it's because the sect has been in turmoil lately. I keep dreaming about that fox demon."

The fourth elder nodded and lowered his eyes to hide the strangeness in his eyes.

"Okay, go back now. I don't need anyone to watch over me here."

"Yes, I see."

Yizhu closed the door and after thinking for a while, he decided to go towards the dungeon. He wanted to check and confirm whether anyone saw him going there. Why did the dream seem so real?

From a distance, I could see people shouting, "Fire! The dungeon is on fire!"

My heart skipped a beat, and I hurried over to grab the man and asked, "What happened? Why did the dungeon suddenly catch fire? Where did the guards go?"

"I don't know. The most important thing now is to put out the fire."

Su Chen followed Xu Mi over and looked at the burning fire from afar, blinking without saying a word.

Xu Mi looked at the fire and scratched his head in annoyance: "How did it start a fire? How can we put out such a big fire? The firefighters won't come to the mountain."

"Friend Su, do you have any way to put out the fire?"

"Yes, there is. Just use a rain charm. They're 500 yuan each. Do you want to buy one?"

"...There's a fee, so I'll ask the hall master to reimburse me."

Su Chen leaned against a tree trunk and squinted his eyes as he looked at the burning area. It was such a coincidence that the dungeon was burned.

Xu Mi hurriedly dialed the number and the call was quickly connected.

[Hey, I need to apply for 500 yuan. Master Su has a way to put out the fire, but he'll need talisman paper and money.]

[…Here, hurry up and have Master Su put out the fire! If it keeps burning like this, it'll spread like crazy.]

After Su Chen got the money, he threw the rain talisman directly above the fire and began to make hand gestures to cast a spell. Soon the sky was covered with dark clouds and the air became more and more moist.

The raindrops fell with a sound of plinking, and the rain was getting heavier and heavier.

The disciples who were putting out the fire looked up and saw that the raindrops were getting bigger and bigger. They all breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that they were finally saved.

The fire was out half an hour later. Xu Mi brought people to watch the excitement. They saw a charred corpse being brought out, and it was impossible to tell what it looked like.

Just by looking at the jade bracelet on her wrist, one could clearly tell who it belonged to. That... fox demon was burned to death.

When Ning Jiuwei and his men arrived, they saw the dilapidated scene. His face turned unhappy and he whispered, "Tell me, where are the guards?"

A tall man came out, lowered his head and whispered, "To answer the Sect Master, I felt sick today and went to the toilet. I didn't expect a fire to break out. It's all my fault."

The Great Elder's face turned grim. "What a coincidence! Nothing's happened in the dungeon in years. Even if you went to the toilet, there shouldn't have been a fire."

The fourth elder sighed, his tone filled with regret: "I heard there have been rats in the cells recently. Could it be that the rats touched the kerosene lamp and caused the fire?"

"I've mentioned before that it's not appropriate to use kerosene lamps in a prison cell. If there are rats running around, it would be very dangerous."

The fifth elder echoed, "Yes, if there was no one in the dungeon and a fire broke out, it must have been caused by a fox demon, or it was just a coincidence that a rat happened to catch it."
