Actually, the question that the green-eyed dwarf asked was also a question that confused everyone. Although they didn't suspect Meng Xiaodie, the various signs gave them the idea of what kind of person he was. His blood could expel the poison, and he could see the mysterious Earth Devil? This was something not even an ordinary person could do, so how could he do it? The heartless black sword Meng Xiaodie was a human after all. If he did something beyond ordinary, it would definitely cause people to be suspicious.
Meng Xiaodie was like a ball of fog, attracting all sorts of guesses.
Shen Hong was also curious about Meng Xiaodie's actions. However, she knew in her heart that Meng Xiaodie would not betray them. He was a stubborn person, and he would not let this adventure go to waste.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be Meng Xiaodie.
Not Meng Xiaodie? Then who could he be? Shen Hong was shocked by his sudden whim. Could it be that this Meng Xiaodie in front of him was a fake? Impossible, this was entirely his imagination.
She quickly glanced at everyone and suddenly asked Meng Xiaodie, "Great Hero Meng, where is your crystal bracelet?"
Meng Xiaodie was surprised by Shen Hong's question. She hurriedly touched her pocket. The blue crystal bracelet was still there. He took it out, looked at the light of the torch, then put it back in.
This reassured Shen Hong. If it was the fake Meng Xiaodie, she wouldn't have the crystal bracelet on her.
She waved for everyone to hurry away from the stone house.
There was a sloping alley outside the stone house. It wasn't very long, but the road was high and uneven, and everyone was up there, stumbling and falling. Some of them even fell and fell, and after walking for more than ten minutes, they finally crossed the sloping alley and arrived at a street called Smokey Cloud Street.
Misty Cloud Street was filled with fire characters. Of the five elements, water countered fire. They had brought enough water, so it shouldn't be a problem.
The height of Smokey Cloud Street rose and fell, and a thin layer of fog floated above the street. The shops on both sides of the street were also shrouded in fog, and were faintly discernible.
"So this street is where the fireworks are sold. Everyone, you have to be careful. If the cannons explode, it will shatter people." The green-eyed dwarf glanced at the shop's signboard and reminded them.
"Green Eye, can you say something nice to talk about? My family has had a firecracker business before, but I've never heard of anyone getting blown up." Xu Dazhi retorted.
"Your home? Isn't your house a blacksmith's shop? "Oh, I know. It's because your family is worried about the dangers of selling firecrackers that you switched to blacksmithing, right?" The green-eyed dwarf chuckled.
"It's a ball. That year, when the Imperial Palace requisitioned fireworks, my family and the other gatekeepers on the street, in order to be selected by the Imperial Palace, spent all their money to develop fireworks that would show off the Imperial Family's style, which was called a hundred flowers fighting for beauty. In the end, our family's top disciple fell and my family was unable to recover, thus we changed our business and became a blacksmith. " Xu Dazhi said as he stared at the signboard.
"There is actually such a thing happening in your Xu family. It is truly a fortuitous meeting, and things went against our wishes." The green-eyed dwarf shook his head and sighed.
"Since this street sells fireworks, I'll take the lead." Xu Dazhi volunteered as he kicked open the door of the first store.
There were no shelves in the shop and there was nothing else around. There was only a round plate in the middle of the room. The plate was two to three times bigger than a huge iron pot and was about a meter tall.
"There really are fireworks in there. I wonder if this thing is real?" The green-eyed dwarf said.
"It's hard to say. Look at the cover, it looks like that, but I don't know if there's gunpowder inside." Xu Dazhi pinched it.
"Big Hammer, tell me, where did these fireworks come from?" The green-eyed dwarf was curious as he looked at the round fireworks.
"My family only cares about making fireworks, we don't know where they came from."
"These fireworks have been going on for a long time, but I don't know why the Fiendgods are setting them up here." Meng Xiaodie said.
"Meng Xiaodie, looks like you have some knowledge about fireworks?" The green-eyed dwarf chuckled and asked.
"It's not really research. I just heard about it." It was said that this custom had existed for more than a thousand years. At the time, it was only to set off firecrackers, the purpose of which was to drive back the evil spirits and gods of plague. Of course, this was a faith close to sacrifice, and later on, gunpowder was invented. When it came to the Great Song Dynasty, firecrackers that could explode continuously appeared, and the elementary form of fireworks also appeared. "Later on, a workshop like the Xu family's Great Hammer Trading Company, through research and development, created multicolored fireworks that lit up the night sky and made it look really beautiful."
Meng Xiaodie's words brought the green-eyed dwarf back to a long time ago. The sound of firecrackers and fireworks filled the sky, and it was indeed fascinating. He had been out for several years, and memories of his childhood flashed through his mind. As he thought about it, he forgot that he was in an underground castle, and that there were many dangers lurking around. He couldn't help but sigh, "Now that the fireworks are here, why don't we let it go and see what they look like?"
There were five fireworks on the disk. Each of them was as thick as a bucket and had the words "Heaven Lady Dispersal Flower" written on them.
"What do you mean by 'the flower of heaven'?" The green-eyed dwarf asked Xu Dazhi.
"Heavenly Maiden Scattering Flower is a very difficult firework. When the firework was released, a fairy appeared in the sky, holding a flower basket in her hands and sprinkling colorful flowers on top of it." Xu Dazhi gave everyone a detailed description.
The green-eyed dwarf clicked his tongue in wonder. "Interesting, interesting. Big Hammer Xu, let's carry it out and set it on fire on the street for a feast for the eyes as well."
As the green-eyed dwarf spoke, he extended his hand to hug her, but was stopped by Shen Hong.
"What are you doing? "Green Eye, on this journey, have you not poked a few more troubles?" Shen Hong coldly said.
"Miss Shen." The green-eyed dwarf chuckled, "Isn't it just a few fireworks? Don't tell me there's a poisonous Gu inside?"
"That may not be true, but do you know what's inside? It's best not to touch it. " Shen Hong said resolutely. There was no room for negotiation.
"Don't touch, don't touch. Since Miss Shen said so, let's go." When the green-eyed dwarf saw that Miss Shen had really lost her temper, he put on a look of disappointment. Just as he took two steps forward, a sharp laugh rang out from the pipe.
The laughter was eerie. The green-eyed dwarf stopped in his tracks in fright. He turned his head to look at the fireworks. The fireworks were quiet and nothing was out of the ordinary. The green-eyed dwarf whispered to Xu Dazhi, "Did you hear the laughter? A very terrifying laughter. "
"I, of course I heard it. It's inside the fireworks." Xu Dazhi's voice trembled.
