Chapter 219 Drawing Talismans in the Air
Drawing talismans in the air consumes mental energy.
If it wasn't urgent, Yue Fuli wouldn't have resorted to such a method. Because this body wasn't like her previous body, which had been tempered through countless trials and tribulations. Simply drawing a talisman in the air wouldn't hurt her at all.
But it’s different now. With the depletion of his mental strength, Yue Fuli not only has an unbearable headache, but even his eyelids feel as if they weigh more than a thousand pounds.
Enduring the pain, Yue Fuli bit the tip of her tongue hard.
When Yue Fuli finished the last stroke, the sky suddenly became overcast with dark clouds and thunder rumbled. Then, heavy rain poured down from above the inn.
"It's raining, it's raining, that's great!" The neighbors who were putting out the fire were all happy when they saw the heavy rain, laughing and jumping like crazy.
As the heavy rain began, the fire in the inn was instantly extinguished. Yue Fuli returned to the space again and fell on the bed.
After Hu Wei and the others left the inn, they waited for Yue Fuli to join them. However, as time passed, Yue Fuli still did not show up, and everyone couldn't help but worry.
"You guys take care of the carriage and the cargo, I'm going to look for Master Li." Hu Wei gave the instructions and prepared to go look for someone.
At this time, Wuyou stood up and said to Hu Wei, "Hutou, let me go. Your injury hasn't healed yet, and it's still raining outside, so it's not convenient to go out."
Hu Wei looked at the rain that still didn't stop, then reached out and touched his wound. Then he said to Wuyou, "Then I will stay. You must find Master Li and bring him back."
"Don't worry!" Wuyou said and went straight to the inn to find someone.
When he arrived, he saw the shopkeeper scolding his men for cleaning up the burned-out backyard in the rain. He looked around but couldn't find Yue Fuli, and he couldn't help but get worried.
"Master Li, Master Li, where are you?" Wuyou shouted loudly, but Yue Fuli did not respond at all.
Because at this time she had fainted due to excessive mental exhaustion.
Not finding anyone at the inn, Wuyou went to look for her elsewhere. An hour passed in the blink of an eye, and there was no news of Yue Fuli.
There was no choice, Wuyou had to go back first.
From a distance, he saw Hu Wei being taken away by the prefect's men.
After three visits to the prefectural government office, Hu Wei was speechless. He was especially furious when Qian Kun asked him if they had set the fire in the inn.
"Sir, how could you be so suspicious? Besides the innkeeper, we are the ones who suffered the most from the fire. You know, we have over a dozen carts of goods stored in the backyard. Unless we are mentally ill, why would we burn our own things?"
"If it's not you, who else could it be?"
"Your Excellency, allow me to report. Last night, we caught a few thieves and locked them up in the backyard, intending to send them to the government office at daybreak. But who would have thought that before daybreak, someone would come and kill them to silence them. If you don't believe me, you can ask the innkeeper to see if the fire started in the room where the thieves were imprisoned."
Qian Kun saw that Hu Wei didn't seem to be lying, so he immediately had the shopkeeper brought over. Upon questioning, he confirmed Hu Wei's words.
But if the fire in the inn was not set by Hu Weiwei, who could have done it?
Suddenly, a person popped up in his mind, that was Mr. Bai from Longfa Trading Company.
When they were discussing yesterday, he suggested burning down the inn, so as to achieve his goal of getting something for nothing and taking possession of the dozen or so carts of goods that Hu Wei and they had brought with them.
