Chapter 122 Light and Dark Sides (1)
On this day, the three of them went to the streets to inquire but did not get any definite and suspicious information. Not to mention, the night passed quickly. The three of them waited in their respective rooms until dawn, and finally waited until Luo Xuanyi returned to the room.
"What's the gain?" Shang Qian was the first to open the door and asked eagerly. He trained in the kendo lineage and was not good at doing detailed work. He was overwhelmed by the seemingly vague doubts and could not concentrate on it at all.
While meditating, try to pay attention to what's going on outside.
Qu Qitao and Xi Xingji also opened the door one after another. Luo Xuanyi shook her head with disappointment on her face. When the three of them saw it, they were immediately discouraged.
"Have we really thought too much?" This thought began to wander in his head again. Before Xi Xingji could pull Luo Xuanyi to elaborate on the news the three of them had received yesterday, the door of the courtyard that had not been fully illuminated by the morning light suddenly appeared.
An orange-red lantern.
The long-handled lantern swayed and illuminated a scholar's brown robe. Wang Zhanke stood at the door with his hands behind his back and a boy. Seeing that the four people had opened the door, he seemed a little surprised: "My lords, haven't you fallen asleep? Could it be that it's under my palace?
Poor hospitality?"
Xi Xingji made a joke and passed by, but Wang Zhanke didn't pay much attention. He had a smile on his face and stretched out his hand to make a gesture of invitation: "Everyone, the boat is ready. I just want you to take the boat at night. Now we will start.
In the past, I arrived at the dace yarn factory in an hour and a half, and everyone had already started work by then, so it was just time for everyone to check."
A group of people followed Wang Zhanke out of the palace and walked towards the ferry. Qu Qitao remembered what Wang Xianqing said yesterday, and pretended to chat with Wang Zhanke for a few words before asking casually: "By the way, I saw a man yesterday afternoon.
Is that the man in fine clothes, your uncle Wang Xianqing? Why don't you see him come to take us to the gauze field?"
Wang Zhanke's expression showed a trace of surprise at the right time, and turned into a bitter smile: "This, alas, is really a family scandal that cannot be made public. My father never planned to let the eldest brother take over the family business, so the eldest brother does not know where the yarn shop is."
"But your eldest brother is your legitimate son. It's obvious that he is, but he only told you?"
Wang Zhanke seemed to have noticed something, and after thinking about it, he compromised and said, "There is a reason for this. My eldest brother is not a bad person by nature, but he is shallow-minded and can be easily tricked into talking out of words. There have been people in the academy who have instigated him in the past.
He stole the family's money and went to a place where fireworks were played, and my father was afraid that the foundation of the family business would be in jeopardy, so he didn't say anything."
"It seems like Mr. Wang likes you more?"
Wang Zhanke only smiled after hearing this, shook his head, and almost said with emotion: "I'm afraid my father has never loved anyone in his life."
While talking, the group of people had already reached the ferry. There was still a boat standing in the dark water. Wang Zhanke took the lantern from the boy's hand and took the lead to get on the boat. It was a two-story wooden boat.
There was no other firelight on the ship, only the lantern in Wang Zhanke's hand lit up.
Wang Zhanke hung the lantern on the bow of the boat and explained to everyone: "This is one of our customs. It is said that there is a river god in the river. If it is disturbed, it will get angry and dye the river water dark, and anyone who drinks it will die. If you drink it during the day,
A ferry is fine, but if the ferry does not hang a lantern on the bow at night, the river god will misunderstand that someone is offending his divine power and become angry."
With only this light, nothing can be seen clearly. No matter how good the monks' eyesight is, after all, none of them have entered the golden elixir stage and opened the sea of spiritual consciousness. They can only see the surrounding scenery, but they are not as easy to distinguish as during the day.
Is the boat moving?
The wooden boat swayed out of the ferry and rowed towards the water. Wang Zhanke prepared food and wine for everyone on the boat. Although the monk had already gone off the grain, this was also a good time to chat with Wang Zhanke. The four of them sipped wine glasses and chatted with Wang Zhanke.
open.
The sky began to shine brightly from the east, and the black water surface that was originally blocked by the tall Fuji Mountain was also dyed with a hint of light. Everyone felt that the boat shook violently, as if it was docked on the shore, and then they realized that an hour and a half had passed like this.
, one after another walked out of the cabin and landed on the shore.
What is in front of you is a flat land. It is slightly different from Fuji Town, which is occupied by Fuji Mountain. Although the Dae Yarn Textile Factory is also built on a land surrounded by rivers, it is flat. If there are no buildings, you can see the end at a glance.
Probably in order not to be seen and leaked by others, a circle of high attics was built around the flat ground, with about four or five floors, like a small city tower. There were four entrances on all sides of the city tower, without any obstruction, so you could come in and out at will. Wang Zhanke and his people could come and go as they pleased.
Walking in from a door, I didn't meet anyone like a guard along the way.
Shang Qian carefully observed everyone around the tower. There were men and women of different ages here. Although everyone was wearing short clothes that were easy to spin, you could still see the exquisite care in making the clothes. The women wore various kinds of clothes on their heads.
There are all kinds of jewelry, and from time to time you can hear the "thump thump" sound of children running barefoot across the wooden floor in the high-rise building, which is a complete scene of living a good life.
They didn't look like they were being coerced, nor did they look like they were deliberately pretending today. Everyone's expression was so natural. They were talking and laughing, and walked towards the small building in the center surrounded by tall buildings.
There are many bamboo poles, with various kinds of cloths of different colors drying on them. The morning light shines on the cloths, revealing sparkling waves, as if they are the beautiful scales on the shark's body. The faint light then falls on the tower, giving
The tower is also painted in rainbow-like colors, making the whole building full of vitality.
"That's the Dace yarn shop over there."
Wang Zhanke also stopped to admire the beauty of the shark gauze for a while, and Qu Qitao sighed: "This indeed looks exactly like the shark gauze. No wonder it is so popular. What kind of materials can restore the shark gauze to such an extent?"
Wang Zhanke took a step forward: "I don't know about this. My father probably won't tell me the secret until just before his death."
Luo Xuanyi followed silently, knowing in her heart that no flaws would be found in this trip. Although the Array Ghost King had difficulty forming the formation arranged in front of Luo Xuanyi, the formation he had spent decades arranging was definitely not something that ordinary monks could see through.
Yes. These people are already dead, but they are controlled by the formation of the Ghost King to act like living people. With the illusory formation, it is difficult for monks to see the truth without spiritual consciousness.
What's more, some of them are really living people. They were raised in the phantom formation, became a family and gave birth to children, and then went back as evidence of the real existence of Daesha Farm. They didn't know that their companions who had been with them day and night for many years had already
Just die, still experiencing the life, old age, illness and death of your companions in the phantom formation.
The townspeople of Fuji Town have been living in this clever scam. Until now, no one has discovered the flaws in the scam, let alone the three righteous monks who are just looking around and trying to avoid the trap.
After a period of fruitless searching, the three of them finally found nothing and returned disappointed. Wang Zhanke tried his best to keep them together for lunch at the Yarn yarn farm, and casually let them chat with the textile workers before going back. When they returned to Fuji Town
, it’s night again.
