The 15th day of the seventh lunar month is the Ghost Festival. The Junyou Mountain area happens to pay great attention to this festival. From around 8 or 9 in the morning, you can hear the sound of firecrackers from the graves, as well as from inside Junyou Mountain.
When people visit graves during the Ghost Festival, burn paper, incense and firecrackers, if there is even a tiny spark that is not extinguished, it is really possible that a forest fire could be caused.
Gu Zhou was not worried about how much damage the fire would cause. After all, Qi Jing was there. He had always guessed that Qi Jing would change the weather to bring rain when encountering a wildfire, so he was not afraid of not being able to control the wildfire.
And even if Qi Jing cannot be controlled because of his sudden return, Gu Mo, Qi Huang and the others are still there, so they can work together.
I waited all afternoon and then until about five in the afternoon, but there was really no movement at all.
Qi Jing was getting a little impatient. He sat up hugging his pillow and asked, "Aren't we going back?"
Gu Zhou looked at him for a while and said, "Wait a little longer, it should be here soon."
"What are you waiting for?" Qi Jing frowned. He had been stuck in the RV for a long time and was very bored.
Gu Zhou pulled him to look at Junyou Mountain outside the window, "Just look at the scenery."
Qi Jing was skeptical. What was so interesting about it just a mountain? So he joked, "Today is the Ghost Festival. You don't want to come here to watch the night parade of a hundred ghosts, do you?"
“Are there a hundred ghosts here?”
"If you want to see them, you can open the ghost gate and see them. Not to mention a hundred, there may be ten thousand of them."
"Forget it then. If he runs away, I won't be bothered to catch him back."
"So what exactly are you looking at here?"
Gu Zhou couldn't explain it, so he could only say, "Wait for a special opportunity."
That should be very important, so Qi Jing stopped holding on to it and waited quietly.
At about six o'clock, Qi Jing saw a middle-aged man walking down the path. His steps were a little crooked, as if he was drunk. He fell down, cursed, got up, kicked the tree next to him, and then continued to move forward.
Not long after the middle-aged man left, Qi Jing saw smoke rising from the mountain.
Qi Jing grabbed Gu Zhou's arm and shook it, "It seems to be on fire there."
Gu Zhou looked over and saw thick smoke rising, but the trees were too dense and he couldn't see the flames for the time being.
"Let's go! Let's take a look!"
Gu Zhou pulled Qi Jing down and climbed up along the path. After waiting for most of the day, he finally got what he was waiting for.
Qi Jing followed Gu Zhou up the mountain and only saw the forest fire after walking for a distance.
The fire spread quickly after just a short distance. Qi Jing's eyes widened as he pulled Gu Zhou away, "The wind is going to blow over here soon. Let's go! We'll get burned to death."
Gu Zhou didn't listen to Qi Jing. He pressed his shoulder and said, "Can't you bring rain? Rain will put out the fire."
"No, the fire is too big! It's also a ghost fire, it can't be put out by just a rain." Qi Jing frowned and refused. It was already hot in July, and even if it wasn't a ghost fire, it couldn't be put out.
Gu Zhou continued to persuade, "At least give it a try. Even if the fire department comes now, they won't be able to put it out in a short time, and there might be an accident. Now you are the only one who can do it."
Qi Jing still shook his head, "It's really not possible, let's go."
Qi Jing pulled Gu Zhou. The fire had already come over and his skin was burning and hurt. If he didn't run away, it would be too late.
But at this moment, the aura around Gu Zhou completely changed.
Qi Jing was surprised, "Gu Xuanyi?"
Gu Xuanyi didn't say anything, pulled Qi Jing's hand away and ran straight towards the fire. He only covered his body with a layer of protection and approached the flames.
"Gu Xuanyi!"
Qi Jing shouted loudly, and just as he caught up, a gust of wind blew over, and the flames instantly wrapped Gu Xuan in it.
Qi Jing was also burned by the fire, and his body felt hot. He shouted anxiously into the fire, "Gu Xuanyi, come out quickly, there's such a big fire."
Gu Xuanyi looked through the flames at Qi Jing who was standing outside, "Rain, or I will burn him to death here."
Gu Xuanyi spoke in a firm tone. This was the only chance in five hundred years and he couldn't give up.
He believed that Qi Jing could do it, and even if he couldn't, he would make Qi Jing do it.
Qi Jing raised his hand to block the flames and walked inside. He soon arrived in front of Gu Zhou and saw that the energy around Gu Zhou was fading.
He extended his hand to Gu Xuanyi, "Stop messing around and follow me."
Gu Xuanyi refused and took a few steps back, and cracks appeared on the energy shield.
Gu Xuan looked at him and said, "I don't have much time to wait, Qi Jing. Otherwise, you can take this body with you and say goodbye. Or, you can find a way to put out this fire now, and you can take me with you."
Qi Jing stood there stiffly, staring at Gu Xuanyi in confusion, "Why?"
Why did he come here suddenly? Why did he have to bring rain to put out the wildfire?
On July 15th, the gates of hell open. This is a forest fire and also a ghost fire. How can it be extinguished so easily? Why is Gu Xuanyi so stubborn in using himself to threaten him?
Qi Jing couldn't understand anything at all, he just felt deeply suffocated. How could he let Gu Xuanyi disappear here?!
"No reason." Gu Xuanyi chuckled. It was already an obsession that he could hold on until now. He really couldn't wait any longer.
He promised Qi Jing that he would wait until the day when Qi Jing's soul returned to his place.
He waited for five hundred years and finally got this opportunity. He really didn't have another five hundred years to wait.
"You need to make a choice quickly. You also said it was a will-o'-the-wisp. I can't hold on for much longer."
Almost at the moment when Gu Xuan finished speaking, the protective shield around him made a cracking sound, and flames spread into it along the cracks.
"don't want!"
Qi Jing rushed forward in panic, shattered the remaining energy shield, hugged Gu Xuanyi tightly, and burst out with a powerful aura.
The golden dragon, the red dragon and the blue dragon rushed out of Qi Jing's body, and the three dragons intertwined and rushed into the sky.
The originally cloudless sky was instantly filled with thick thunderclouds, bringing with it a freezing cold air, like the harsh winter of December.
Qi Jing shivered with cold. Before he raised his head, he heard a loud thunder and a red dragon wrapped in a bolt of lightning struck down.
Gu Xuanyi kept looking up, seeing the bright dragon, the fire of the phoenix, and the falling red thunder.
It turned out to be this kind of red thunder, lightning wrapped by a red dragon.
In the blink of an eye, lightning struck Qi Jing, and the red dragon also sank into Qi Jing's body.
The next second, heavy rain poured down. The blue dragon circled in the clouds, bringing with it extremely cold temperatures. The heavy rain fell, forcing the flames back.
Qi Jing felt his eyes go dark, and countless images rushed into his head.
He was in so much pain, his body became heavy, and he fell uncontrollably. Gu Xuanyi supported his body and then picked him up.
Gu Xuanyi lowered his eyes and looked at the person in his arms who was frowning and closing his eyes. He seemed to be in great pain, but he had no choice but to wait for the fire to be extinguished, the black clouds to fade away, and the golden dragon and the blue dragon to return to Qi Jing's body. Only then did he activate the teleportation talisman and take Qi Jing away from here.
