Although Yuezhou City is not as prosperous as Xianzhou City, it has a long history. The buildings on both sides of the streets are antique, and there are many pavilions with carved beams and paintings. Strolling on the most prosperous street in Yuezhou, Chen Yunsheng's thoughts also flew to twenty years ago.
, this city was filled with an unfamiliar atmosphere, and he tried hard to find any clues that could resonate with him, but in vain.
The street was bustling with people, and the business was extremely prosperous. In some shops, in order to attract business, the clerks even went to the center to solicit customers. The two slowly turned around the cross street and came to a magnificent gatehouse. Next to the door stood two majestic
The stone lion with its lively eyebrows is obviously the work of an expert. There is a plaque in the middle of the gate tower with the words "Gaofu" written in two big Chinese characters.
Chen Yunsheng stared at the door for a long time, but did not move in. He knew that the person he was looking for was not among them. Opposite the Gao Mansion was a restaurant called Wangyue Pavilion, a two-story building with a lobby on the first floor and private rooms on the second floor.
It was almost noon. Chen Yunsheng and Liu Xiaoshan moved to Wangyue Pavilion and found a seat near the window in the lobby to sit down. A young waiter diligently wiped the table several times and pointed the table at Wangyue Pavilion with a sharp tongue.
I reported the special dishes.
Liu Xiaoshan randomly selected a few dishes that were light, delicious, fresh and not greasy, and ordered the waiter to go down and prepare them. Stopping the waiter, Chen Yunsheng took out a piece of broken silver weighing two ounces, put it on the table, and said: "Brother, I heard that the other side
The Gao Mansion used to be the location of the Qilin Escort Agency. There was an escort named Wang inside. I wonder where he is now? If you can find out for me, I will thank you very much." After that, he motioned to the waiter to accept the silver coins on the table.
Although the man at Wangyue Pavilion was young, he had a sharp tongue and a quick mind. When he saw that Chen Yunsheng had extraordinary appearance and generous spending, and was not like an ordinary dandy, he naturally did not dare to neglect him. While he was quick to get silver coins from his men, he was full of promises.
If Chen Yunsheng comes back tomorrow, he must find out clearly for him.
After a while, the food and wine were served. Chen Yunsheng and Liu Xiaoshan chatted while eating, and the topic gradually involved Chen Yunsheng's family affairs. The two had been together for a long time, but Chen Yunsheng did not explain in detail to Liu Xiaoshan what happened at home twenty years ago.
He mentioned it in passing, but this time he told it all. Although Liu Xiaoshan has been away from his parents all year round, he has never experienced being separated from his relatives, so after hearing Chen Yunsheng's story, he couldn't help but feel a little depressed.
The two of them ate in a hurry. Seeing that it was still early in the morning, Liu Xiaoshan suggested that they stroll around Yuezhou Street for a few times, maybe they could find out what Chen Yunsheng was concerned about. The two walked around for a while and found that most of the pedestrians on the street were young.
There are no strong people who are old. Chen Yunsheng discovered the problem. It turns out that Wangyue Pavilion is located in the northwest corner of Yuezhou City, close to the most prosperous Cross Street. It is noon, and naturally there are no old, weak, women and children wandering around. So he
I suggest you walk more small streets, there may be old people out to bask in the sun after lunch.
The two walked through the streets and alleys, specifically choosing some alleys with narrow streets and sparsely populated alleys. After passing through an unknown number of small alleys, Liu Xiaoshan suddenly noticed that the surrounding buildings were getting denser and denser, but there were fewer and fewer people. At first, he could still see them.
Some passers-by later found the entire alley deserted. Although this alley is remote, the surrounding courtyard walls are tall and unlike ordinary people's houses. There is only one house in the entire alley, and there are already many marks on the dark gate.
The paint has peeled off and the steps at the door are overgrown with weeds. It has obviously been abandoned for a long time.
Chen Yunsheng turned around and wanted to go back the way he came from, but found a short old lady standing suddenly at the entrance of the alley. Her hair was gray and her legs were staggering. She was walking toward him very hard. Seeing this, Chen Yunsheng walked a few steps and came.
In front of the old man, he stretched out his hand to help.
Seeing this, the old lady hurriedly shied away and said in a slightly hoarse tone: "I understand this young master's kindness. Alas, there are fewer and fewer people with good intentions like you these days. You'd better leave here quickly, here
There’s something unclean.”
Liu Xiaoshan also followed over. Hearing what the old lady said, he knew that there must be something weird about this place. The fact that such a grand and deep mansion was abandoned was enough to make people suspicious.
"Mother-in-law, don't refuse. It's our duty to hoe the strong and help the weak. The little girl is a little curious as to why this place is so desolate. And as you just said, why should you say that there are unclean things here?"
The old lady raised her head, looked at the two people carefully with her dim eyes, and sighed: "This place was originally the residence of an official. This official was a kind man and got along well with his neighbors on weekdays. Who knows that at home?
He died suddenly and suddenly. What's even more strange is that the people living in this house died mysteriously one after another. It took the government a long time to solve the case, and it finally became an abandoned house. Every night, you can hear the roar of wild ghosts.
There was a loud noise, so even the surrounding families moved away. My old lady is the old lady in the house. She has served her master all her life. She was all alone and had no support, so she simply stayed here."
Chen Yunsheng wondered: "If there is a ghost haunting this house, everyone should be unlucky. Why is my mother-in-law the only one who is safe and sound?"
"This is not surprising. In the early years, the old woman once met a wandering Taoist priest. He asked me for a bowl of water. Before leaving, he gave me a talisman, saying it could protect me and keep me safe. Therefore, I am the owner of this house.
The only one who is not affected."
Chen Yunsheng thought that this old woman had lived here for a long time and must know about the Qilin Escort Agency. He said to Yan: "I have something to ask my mother-in-law. There is a large house in the northwest of Yuezhou City. The current owner's surname is Gao, but the predecessor is
It's the famous Qilin Escort Bureau in Yuezhou. The head of the escort agency is named Wang Mian. Have you heard of it?"
The old woman shook her head dullly: "I've heard about the Qilin Escort Agency. The original chief escort was named Chen. He was famous all over the world and was very prestigious. I don't know what happened after that. After one night, the Qilin Escort Agency lost its glory. As for how the house changed after that.
I won’t know if it’s in someone else’s hands.”
Chen Yunsheng was slightly disappointed and wanted to turn around and leave, but Liu Xiaoshan tugged on his lapel, winked and said in a low voice: "Since we have entrusted the guy to inquire, there shouldn't be any big problem, we will stay here tonight.
Let’s see what’s weird about this house.”
Chen Yunsheng glanced at her and secretly thought that this girl was really curious. He came to the old lady and relayed his thoughts to her. The old lady quickly waved her hand and said, "No, no. You two young people have good hearts, but
Don't risk your own life for this matter. I think back then, the monks at Sitian Pavilion in Yuezhou couldn't explain the things in this house clearly. You should go do your own things and don't stay here.
Entanglement is a waste of life."
After pondering for a moment, Chen Yunsheng said: "In that case, we won't bother you. However, I have learned some basic Taoism from my father and have done some research on drawing talismans. Can you show me your talisman."
The old lady did not hesitate, and tremblingly took off a yellow cloth bag from her neck, and took out a piece of wood from the cloth bag, with several seal characters painted with cinnabar and some strange patterns on it. Chen Yunsheng took it out.
He looked at it carefully for a moment, with a hint of confusion on his face, and returned the wood piece to the old lady.
"The old man's talisman is indeed extraordinary. It has the effect of turning misfortune into good luck. I have learned a lot, so let's say goodbye here." After that, Chen Yunsheng picked up Liu Xiaoshan and hurriedly left the alley. The two of them walked out for two seconds.
Li Di stopped his steps.
Liu Xiaoshan asked suspiciously: "Why did you pull me away in a hurry? Are we still afraid of a few lonely ghosts? What kind of mysterious magic weapon is the old man's amulet that makes you look strange?"
Chen Yunsheng said solemnly: "It would be great if the talisman was a mysterious thing. The key is that I don't see what use the talisman has. It doesn't even have any spiritual energy on it."
Liu Xiaoshan fell into silence, she knew what this meant.
"Maybe you can't see through that talisman with your knowledge." She said solemnly.
"I hope so, but I'm afraid I won't be able to rest tonight." Chen Yunsheng replied. Liu Xiaoshan nodded in agreement.
The two randomly found an inn in the north of the city, meditated, and recuperated their energy. Although the aura in Yuezhou City was basically zero, Chen Yunsheng set up a small five-qi Chao Yuan Formation in the guest room and put two pieces into it.
After tasting the spirit stone, the room was instantly filled with pure spiritual energy.
For monks, spirit stones are not only hard currency for transactions, but also necessities for cultivation. There are not many spiritual mountains and rivers between heaven and earth, but there are countless monks like crucian carp crossing the river.
Xiu only uses spiritual stones to improve his cultivation.
The method like Chen Yunsheng's method of using the Five Qi Chaoyuan Array to evenly release the spiritual power contained in the spiritual stone is very particular. After many monks get the spiritual stone, they often hold it under their armpits or hold it under their tongue, directly
Absorb the mottled spiritual energy in the spiritual stone. Although this seems straightforward, it will inevitably inhale the mottled spiritual energy in the spiritual stone into the body, which is extremely dangerous for monks whose meridians are not very strong. Many young monks use this method when they are breaking through the barrier.
Not only did he fail to advance his cultivation level, but he also damaged his meridians. Since then, his cultivation level has stagnated and his path to immortality has been cut off.
When the lamp was turned on, two black shadows floated down from the second floor of the inn and landed quietly on the street. Chen Yunsheng continued to use magic tricks in his hands, and the two people were wrapped in yellow light, and with a whoosh, they escaped to the ground and disappeared.
At this time, Chen Yunsheng's Earth Escape cultivation has reached the fifth level. He can reach the ground a hundred feet, and his speed is faster than ordinary flying magic weapons. He is not under the Escape Light of the Golden Core cultivator. With his current cultivation level,
Being able to cultivate Earth Escape to this level is rare in the world of immortality.
In the blink of an eye, the two of them had arrived at the dark alley they had visited during the day. Chen Yunsheng burst out of the ground like a fish out of water, without even making a sound. The two figures disappeared from the high wall to the west.
