Chapter 172 Changfeng’s strange incident

On the other side of the official road in the distance, the car and horse teams that passed by before camped here.

Some people were woken up late at night by peeing. Half asleep and half awake, the sleepy people got up and looked for a place to relieve themselves.

Sometimes in the dream, there is a sense of wandering away from the body, as if I have traveled to a distant place in the dream.

At this time, I often can't open my eyes and can only see things through the gaps, but I can see many strange things, and my body is half asleep and half awake, and it is difficult to control it.

The person who is relieving himself is still unconscious at the moment, and half of his soul is still in sleep, and he still feels this way.

The man was holding the tree trunk and pointing at the back half of a big tree that was relaxing. Through the slit in his eyes, he suddenly saw someone in the distance on the other side of the official road, taking a horse with him in the hazy sky. Looking back at the ground from the sky

"Um?"

With a confused voice, the urinating man thought he was still dreaming. The next moment, the person in the sky ascended into the sky and disappeared as if they gradually turned into a faint white light in the wind.

At this time, after urinating for the last time, the man's body suddenly shook a few times, and he seemed to wake up all of a sudden.

The man shook his brother with one hand and rubbed his eyes with the other. There was nothing in that direction just now, as if it was a complete illusion.

Could it be that I didn't wake up?

Although he was thinking this, there was still an inexplicable feeling in the man's heart. He shook his right hand, wiped it on the bark of the tree trunk, and then hurriedly walked to the official road side to take a closer look.

Everyone in the camp here was sleeping soundly in the carriage. After hesitation, the man did not wake anyone up, but went cautiously alone.

After passing the official road and bypassing a bush, I discovered that there was a house a little further away.

This person is obviously not a local, or at least he doesn't often walk this road. He doesn't know that there is such a house here.

With a bit of anxiety and expectation, the man hesitated to go over and take a look. Then he took a closer look and suddenly discovered that there were many animals in the courtyard.

Because there is a certain distance, some small ones cannot be seen clearly, but larger ones such as deer and foxes are still relatively obvious under today's moonlight.

"hiss"

The man took a breath and felt a little numb. At the same time, he felt that it was very novel. He hurried back to the camp to wake up his companions.

Not long after, a group of people carrying knives, sticks and ropes trotted from the camp on the official road towards the broken house.

At this moment, the animals could no longer see the immortals, nor could they hear the Buddhist scriptures and the great ways of the immortals. However, they had not left yet. Instead, they crawled quietly in the courtyard, seeming to linger on the feeling just now, and their consciousness was immersed in it.

"Did you see it? It's still there." "Oh, there are quite a few!"

"Hush, let's sneak up and catch a few big ones!"

"Isn't this not good? I seemed to have seen an immortal just now."

"You're not awake yet!" "Oh, that was the fairy who showed you the way in your dream. It's time for us to get rich!"

"Yes, it's all fine meat and fur, and there's a fence to stop it!"

Five men, armed with sticks, ropes and other objects, sneaked towards the broken house.

"Guwu——"

One night owl screamed and flapped its wings and flew up.

"Come on! Don't let them run away!" "Quickly, catch that deer, that deer--"

Several people rushed out at once, greeting each other with sticks and ropes.

"Fox Fox!"

"Hahahaha, caught, caught!"

The wings of pheasants were messy, the foxes and deers ran away in panic, some people screamed and some laughed, and some people hit the small temple with wooden sticks, causing the temple tiles to collapse and the Buddha statue to shatter.

"Woohoo——"

A tall figure suddenly roared in the courtyard. The mountain ghost picked up the piece of dead wood and stood up, revealing his true appearance in the moonlight.

"Ah——" "Monster——"

"boom--"

The dead wood suddenly hit several people. The two people who had just caught the pheasant and the deer were so frightened that they hid in haste. The broken dead wood hurt people.

"Roar--"

The mountain ghost's sharp nails and terrifying appearance became more and more obvious in the moonlight, its eyes showed a dim light, and it suddenly rushed towards a few people, scaring the crowd to crawl and run away.

"Monster, monster!" "Run quickly——"

The five people who came to catch the prey escaped, but the mountain ghost did not pursue them.

There are no animals left in the courtyard, only some pheasant feathers that were torn off are left, and the small temple has collapsed.

"Uh-huh, roar."

The mountain ghost screamed twice more, then took a step and ran back into the mountain.

Although none of the people who wanted to catch the animals were seriously injured, they were frightened and hurried back to the camp, driving their horses and carriages to escape overnight.

In the sky, Yi Shuyuan seemed to come back again and again. When the half-asleep man looked at him just now, he had a vague feeling about it, so he didn't really leave immediately.

"That's fine. You can't just have good intentions and lose your guard!"

Hui Mian lay on Yi Shuyuan's shoulder and wondered.

"Sir, the temple has collapsed too."

"If it collapses, it will collapse."

After saying this, the wind controlled by Yi Shuyuan made a curve in the sky and returned to the inn.

The other three people who got up didn't know exactly what happened yesterday, but the coachman could clearly feel that his horse's pace was particularly powerful today.

——

On the afternoon of the fourth day, after passing through some villages and large tracts of farmland, the carriage traveling along the official road finally arrived at Changfengfu City.

The time was one day earlier than expected, also because of the strong pace of the horses.

After entering the city, Chu Hang suddenly became eager to return home and kept urging the carriage to move forward faster.

Compared with the prosperity of the capital city, Changfeng Mansion is quite peaceful, and the pace seems to have slowed down a lot, just like Yuanjiang County in the past, but on a much larger scale.

The Chu Mansion was on a secluded street, and the gate was closed. When the carriage stopped in front of the Chu Mansion, the concierge who heard the commotion opened the small door and came out to check. He happened to see Chu Hang jumping out of the car impatiently.

The concierge's eyes widened with surprise on his face.

"Master? Master, you are back!"

The concierge, who looked to be a boy of sixteen or seventeen years old, shouted excitedly and hurried down to help Chu Hang move his luggage and books.

"Master, you are back! Madam talks about you every day!"

"I don't need your help, just go and tell my parents that I brought my friends back!"

"Hey!"

The young concierge hurriedly ran back to the courtyard, opened the door completely, and then shouted the good news of Chu Hang's return while running.

"The young master is back - the young master is back -"

Yi Shuyuan and Yang Bencai also got off the car at this moment, looking around and moving their hands and feet at the door of Chu Mansion.

"Puff puff~~~~~"

The old horse at the front of the car neighed, causing Yi Shuyuan to look back. The driver was counting the money he had received, while the old horse was shaking its neck and looking restless.

Yi Shuyuan's lips moved slightly, and a sound reached Lao Ma's ears, and the latter calmed down.

"Is it clear?"

"It's cleared up, not a penny is missing! Hehe, you two young masters, as well as my husband, if there is anyone else who needs a carriage or horse, just come to me from now on! Farewell, farewell!"

"Aren't you going to stay for a meal?"

Hearing what Chu Hang said, the coachman smiled. He had just eaten lunch on the way, and dinner was too early to waste the whole afternoon here.

"No, no, I have relatives in Changfeng Mansion!"

After a few polite words, the coachman led the horse to turn around, and then drove the carriage away.

The old horse turned back after a few steps, as if he was extremely reluctant to leave, but in the end he still did not resist the coachman, while Hui Mian kept looking at him with a hairy face.

Yi Shuyuan looked away, and Chu Hang and Yang Bencai had already picked up their book boxes and baggage.

"Mr. Yi, Brother Yang, please!"

Yi Shuyuan and Yang Bencai nodded, and followed Chu Hang into the gate of Chu Mansion. The latter was somewhat excited, but it was not that he really didn't want to go home.

The Chu Mansion looks like a wealthy family, but not too exaggerated. There are not many servants in the house. Except for the young man just now, there are no servants when entering the front yard.

Twenty steps around the screen wall is the living room with an open door. It is not decorated in a spacious style with potted flowers and hanging curtains, but it has a refined home style.

When Chu Hang arrived at his home, he greeted his guests as the host.

"Mr. Yi, Brother Yang, please sit down and put your things away for now. My mother will be here soon."

Chu Hang put down his things, directly lifted the teapot on the main table in the living room, shook it, opened the lid and took a look, then opened the tea cup and poured tea for others.

"Drink tea, drink tea! Quench your thirst first!"

"Yeah!" "Brother Chu, are there any places of interest in Changfeng Mansion?"

"Yes, I will show you tomorrow and the day after tomorrow!"

"This is my first time here. Where is Mr. Yi?"

"I've never been here either."

A few people were chatting when there was a sound of soft footsteps approaching quickly.

Two women, one dressed in red and one in blue, came over, followed by two maids, as well as the young concierge and an old servant, all with happy faces.

"Mother, young mother"

Chu Hang stood up and shouted twice, and Yi Shuyuan and Yang Bencai also stood up.

The woman in red at the front looks very elegant. She looks more like his sister than Chu Hang's mother.

With tears in her eyes, the woman hurriedly walked up to Chu Hang and grabbed his hand. She looked closely at Chu Hang's face and face, shook her head and said.

"Do you still want to come back? Do you want to die as a mother?"

"Mother."

The other woman had a smile on her face. After looking at Chu Hang, she looked at Yi Shuyuan and Yang Bencai, and walked next to Chu Hang.

"Miss, there are guests here. Young Master, why don't you introduce me to them?"

"Oooh!"

Chu Hang broke away from his mother's hand with some embarrassment and hurriedly introduced her.

"Mother, young mother, this is the Mr. Yi I mentioned before. He is a friend of my uncle's, and he is also a master of calligraphy whom he admires and admires!"

This title was obviously mentioned intentionally by Chu Hang, and Yi Shuyuan didn't mind, smiling and bowing his hands.

"Meet the two ladies!"

The man in front of him had long gray hair and calm eyes. He showed a bit of extraordinary magnanimity just by standing there. The two women did not dare to neglect and bowed in return.

"I have met Mr. Yi! Ming Gao also often mentioned Mr. Yi in his letters, saying that you are a wonderful person in the world!"

"Don't take it seriously, don't take it seriously, Yi is just an idle person!"

Chu Hang quickly introduced Yang Bencai.

"And this Brother Yang, who is also rushing to take the exam, met me in the capital and became friends!"

The two women looked at Yang Benzai carefully. This one was obviously an ordinary scholar, and he did not even dare to meet their eyes.

Yang Bencai was a little embarrassed and did not dare to look directly at the two mothers of friends who looked too young, so he quickly lowered his head and saluted.

"Yang Bencai, a native of Donglu, has met these two ladies! Brother Chu takes good care of me in the capital. I am very grateful!"

Chu Hang looked at Yang Bencai's embarrassed look and found it funny.

The old and young servants on the side packed the luggage for several people with smiles, took away the things and took them to the back room.

Mr. Chu would not come back until later. After the initial embarrassment and restraint, several people started chatting in the living room, constantly talking about their experiences on the trip and what happened during the imperial examination.

Chu Hang even talked about some novel experiences, and also talked about the collapse of the Grand Canal Temple.

As for the results of the imperial examination, neither of the two women asked.

"I heard that there is a storyteller in the capital. His skills are simply amazing. He brought "The Fall of the River God" to life. Unfortunately, by the time we found out about it, he had already left!"

"Oh, yes, what a pity! Some Hanchuang friends said that the rest are all faked for fame and reputation. Mr. Li, Mr. Ji, and Mr. Liu just copied the "River God Falls" and said it, but I don’t have the ability!”

Chu Hang's mother looked surprised.

"Is it true that all the statues in the temple have fallen down?"

"That's absolutely true!"

Yi Shuyuan was drinking tea and listening on the side, while Hui Mian on his shoulder muttered contemptuously.

"Aren't these two guys hanging around in the Thirteenth Floor!"

After chatting for a while, the two women stood up to leave. They planned to cook some food themselves, but they also sent their servants to Wanghu Tower to order some signature dishes.

As soon as the two women left, Chu Hang couldn't help but look at Yi Shuyuan.

"Mr. Yi, is there any evil spirit here?"

Although Chu Hang lowered his voice, Yang Bencai still heard his slightly excited words.

"Evil spirit?"

Yang Bencai was surprised and looked at Chu Hang and then at Yi Shuyuan.

"What did you say?"

Yi Shuyuan explained with a smile.

"Yi is also proficient in some sorcerer's methods and knows a little about the way of observing qi, but I didn't detect any evil aura!"

"Huh? You can't see it either?"

After experiencing the chase that morning, Yi Shuyuan had already improved a lot in Chu Hang's mind. He didn't notice it when he heard it, and he suddenly became anxious.

"Brother Chu, don't be impatient. I can only say that the person who is looking for you in the dream may not be an evil spirit. We will find out the truth tonight."

Yi Shuyuan said and looked outside the hall. In fact, he had observed everything in the Chu Mansion very carefully after entering the Chu Mansion, and he did not notice anything special at all.
