"Dean! I always feel that there is something weird hidden in this matter!" Walking on the streets of Sihai City, Luo Anan hesitated for a while, but couldn't help but look at Li Danqing and said.
Ever since he walked out of Fenglai Academy, Li Danqing had been frowning and silent. Luo Anan waited for a long time but did not get a reply from Li Danqing. She couldn't help but feel a little uncontrollable, and finally asked at this time.
It was noon, and the streets of Sihai City were bustling with people coming and going.
It is hard to imagine that if such a monster really existed, the people in Sihai City could still live and work in peace and contentment.
Li Danqing came to his senses after hearing the sound. He turned his head to look at Luo An'an, who was frowning slightly, but did not answer the other party's question. Instead, he smiled and asked: "An'an, you seem to be particularly concerned about the things in the dream.
Why is this?"
Luo Anan was also stunned when she heard this. She hesitated for a while, and it was only then that she realized that she really cared about everything in the dream. Her brows furrowed a little deeper at this time, and she murmured: "I just
...I just feel they are a little pitiful...I want to help them. And I don’t think they are the monsters that Ye Pang and City Lord Yuan said..."
Li Danqing was noncommittal about this: "It's true to say that, but we don't know whether those guys are human beings or ghosts, and we can't even tell whether they are figments of our imagination or real things.
Now that Yuan Lanyue has the Zhaosheng Order in his hand, we have no right to interfere, unless you have decided to make the entire Wuyang court an enemy."
Li Danqing spoke calmly, and his eyes did not shift even a little bit. He just looked at the busy street in front of him, as if he was having an insignificant chat with Luo An'an.
Luo An'an fell into silence again after hearing this. Although she didn't understand what the Zhaosheng Order was, she could guess something from Li Danqing's reaction. For a ridiculous dream, she went to offend the big shot of Wu Yang Dynasty, Luo An'an.
An An's rationality indeed told her that such an approach was unnecessary.
But deep down, I couldn't explain why, I always felt vaguely unwilling, and vaguely felt that this matter shouldn't end like this.
…
"Hmph! You still know how to come back!"
"Do you think that after disappearing for a long time, we will treat the dirty things you did as if they never happened?" Li Danqing just walked into the door of Chuifan Inn and ran into Liu Yanzhen and Song Tong'er who were looking grim.
The two people who were fighting fiercely yesterday seemed to have reached some kind of united front now. They both held their hands in front of their chests and stared at Li Danqing with unkind eyes.
Li Danqing, who was still thinking about something, was caught off guard by a burst of curses from Liu Yanzhen. He was stunned on the spot, standing at the door of the inn, blinking and staring at Liu Yanzhen blankly.
/Liu Yanzhen felt a little embarrassed by Li Danqing, glared at him, and asked: "You...why are you staring at me! Am I still wronging you?"
"Sister Tong'er saw it with her own eyes in the room today! You and Na Xing were hiding in the room again and doing that shady thing!"
"No, this is really a misunderstanding." Li Danqing said with a wry smile.
Song Tong'er on the side also glared at Li Danqing angrily and said: "At that time, their bodies were close to each other! How can this be false?"
"That Xing Shuangshuang has been hiding in the room all day today, not daring to see us. He must have a guilty conscience and robbed our boy... ahem, male dean..."
Song Tong'er was halfway through her words when she realized her gaffe. Her face suddenly turned red and her voice became much softer at the end.
She lowered her head a little and looked at Li Danqing cautiously, fearing that the other party would hear something, but she saw Li Danqing frown slightly after hearing this, and muttered: "You two stayed in the house for a whole day?
"
"Well...it's almost time for dinner. Let's call her over and let's have dinner together."
After saying this, Li Danqing turned around and walked to the wooden table nearby, sat down, and buried his head wondering what he was thinking.
Seeing this, Song Tong'er secretly felt that at this juncture, Li Danqing was still caring about Xing Shuangshuang. She suddenly became furious, stamped her feet heavily on the spot, and cursed: "Li Danqing! You restless bastard!"
…
But the scolding returned to scolding, and the anger returned to anger. After about a quarter of an hour, everyone gathered around the big wooden table in the inn.
The atmosphere at the dinner table was a bit strange.
Luo An'an, who was sitting next to Li Danqing, looked calm and was eating the food on the wooden table. However, Liu Yanzhen and Song Tong'er on the other side had their eyes blazing and stared straight at Li Danqing. Ning
Jiu and Yu Chiwan looked like they were just watching the excitement, and their eyes wandered around everyone, as if they wanted to figure out what happened.
"Tell me, what happened?" At this time, Qingzhu also came over, sat down next to Li Danqing, and asked without raising his head.
Li Danqing was stunned for a moment, a little confused as to how Qingzhu knew something was wrong. Although Qingzhu never raised her head to look at Li Danqing, she seemed to have known what Li Danqing was thinking. She raised her head and rolled her eyes at Li Danqing and said, "What are you doing?"
He took An An out of the house in a hurry early in the morning. When he came back, his brows were furrowed and he looked worried. Either something happened, or your romantic debt has been exposed again..."
Qingzhu's words were clear and straightforward, and Li Danqing looked sick. Although the truth was this, but being pointed out in front of so many disciples, Li Danqing still felt a little embarrassed on his face.
He smiled coquettishly, looked at Qingzhu and said, "Jun Wen is smart, we did encounter something strange."
Qingzhu frowned and asked, "What's weird?"
At this time, everyone also glanced at Li Danqing. Li Danqing did not hesitate and immediately told the whole story in front of everyone.
Li Danqing was so excited when he talked about how he got to that dreamland and how cold he was when facing the group of living dead in the dreamland.
Jing calmly, when he went to Fenglai Academy, he faced the coercion and inducement from the Lord of Sihai City, how he argued with reason.
The whole story transformed into the story of a smart young man who finally returned safely after many twists and turns in the mouth of Prince Li.
"That's probably what happened." Li Danqing, who told the whole story in an eloquent manner, drank a cup of tea with satisfaction, sat up straight, and prepared to receive the admiring looks of his disciples.
but……
In fact, what greeted Prince Li was a series of scrutinizing gazes and a pair of cold eyes with murderous intent.
"Hmph, I'm pretty good at writing stories. Why don't you help me write "The Story of the Fallen Dean's Handsome Disciple Who Loved and Killed Each Other"?" Liu Yanzhen said coldly.
Song Tong'er sneered: "So we went to Wuyang City to open a tavern, will you be the storyteller?"
Lu Shude also coughed and said: "Dean, this story is really wild, but I think that such a story must have a gentle ups and downs, but telling one person is too tacky, so it's best to find some other characters and play them.
Make the whole story a little more alive.”
"Well, for example, we can let the dean and the girls among the living dead have a poignant and touching love story. This is no longer something that crosses gender and race, but a story that spans life and death! It will be even more shocking!" As Liu Yanzhen is the most loyal!
Ning Jiu, one of the readers, also spoke excitedly at this time and put forward his very constructive opinions with a serious look on his face.
Li Danqing's face suddenly darkened. He stood up and said angrily: "Everything I said is true! Please be serious!"
"Really?" Qingzhu on the side calmly picked up the tea cup on the table, took a sip, and said with a slightly raised eyebrow: "So, the dean is not afraid at all when facing those living dead?"
"Uh..." Li Danqing was stunned, and could not help but recall the scene in his mind when he first saw the Fangzhou County magistrate and kicked him to pieces.
"So, when the dean saw the Lord Yuan, he really didn't look sideways?" Yu Chiwan on the side also squinted his eyes and asked with a smile.
Li Danqing felt guilty. Although Yuan Lanyue was a little older, she had a charm that was not found in young girls. Coupled with her bold clothing, Li Danqing could not help but look at her a few times when they first met.
"Ahem." Li Danqing coughed twice and said, "I did take a second look, but it was to observe the enemy's situation... As the saying goes, if you know yourself and the enemy, you will win in any battle..."
"Four eyes." Just after Li Danqing's sophistry came out, Luo Anan, who was sitting next to him, broke Li Danqing's lie with a calm expression.
"One look at the face, one look at the legs, and two looks at the chest."
Li Danqing stared at Luo An'an with his eyes wide open and looked at the unfazed Luo An'an, and said in shock: "You can see this! There were so many soldiers surrounding us at that time. You didn't look at the huge rebel army.
What is this prince doing!"
Li Danqing's casual words revealed some of Luo An'an's thoughts that she would not share with outsiders. The girl's face turned red for a rare moment, and she didn't know how to respond for a moment.
But fortunately, everyone around him seemed to realize something at this time. Liu Yanzhen looked at Luo Anan with wide eyes and asked: "So, these things are true?"
Li Dan is used to being eloquent, so everyone is naturally dubious about his words, especially since the story is so absurd and bizarre, but Luo An'an is different. At least in everyone's minds, she is not a liar.
Luo An'an did not let everyone guess for too long. She nodded without hesitation. Everyone looked in disbelief when they saw this. Luo An'an also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. At least in this way, no one
Will you pay attention to Li Danqing’s question just now...
…
"So, that dream is really a trap set by the demon? Do you want you to go to Ye Pang's academy and throw yourself into a trap?" Song Tong'er frowned and speculated. Obviously, like Li Danqing, as a normal person
, and could not believe that everything in the dream was real at the first time.
"Or is it a drama directed and performed by City Lord Yuan, who wants to kill the dean?" Ning Jiu also said in a deep voice at this time. It should be expected that most of the people present also did not believe it deep down in their hearts.
The so-called theory of demons.
"Probably not." But just after such an inference was uttered, Qingzhu on the side said in a deep voice, denying such a statement.
"Then Yuan Lanyue has the Holy Order in his hand. As long as the dean does not admit his mistake, it means that this matter is not simple."
"Things like the Zhaosheng Order were something that everyone in the Wuyang Dynasty had only heard of but had never seen. Even General Li probably had never seen this thing before. So if Yuan Lanyue could possess the Zhaosheng Order,
This shows that the Wuyang Dynasty attaches great importance to what happens in Sihai City. At least what she represents behind her back is indeed the will of the imperial court. And if the imperial court wants to harm the dean, there is no need to go to such trouble.
It is even more impossible to spend so much effort to lure the dean to that place, and then send hundreds of warriors whose cultivation level is no higher than Vajra and Purple Yang Realm to surround and kill him."
Qingzhu's analysis was methodical, and everyone nodded secretly after hearing the words. Liu Yanzhen even said in shock: "Is it possible that there are really monsters? But why did those monsters pull the dean and the others into a dream? Is it possible that there are real monsters among us?
What kind of monsters are involved?"
Liu Yanzhen said this, and glanced at Xing Shuangshuang, who had been silent all the time, intentionally or unintentionally.
Feeling this, Xing Shuangshuang turned pale, with a panicked look on her face, like a frightened elk. She looked at Li Danqing with tears in her eyes. That pitiful look was really heartbreaking.
A hint of smile flashed in Li Danqing's eyes, but he didn't point it out. He just looked at Liu Yanzhen pretending to be stern and said, "Yan Zhen! Don't talk nonsense!"
Seeing that Li Danqing was focused on protecting Xing Shuangshuang, Liu Yanzhen became increasingly angry. She stamped her feet and glared at Li Danqing angrily, her mouth cold.
He snorted and looked to the side.
Li Danqing didn't seem to notice Liu Yanzhen's dissatisfaction. He looked at Xing Shuangshuang with a smile and comforted her softly: "Shuangshuang, don't be afraid, Yan Zhen is joking with you."
Such a gentle look made everyone present feel disgusted. Even Qingzhu, who had always been indifferent, frowned slightly.
"I...I'm fine." Xing Shuangshuang nodded softly, then looked at Liu Yanzhen pitifully and said softly: "Sister Yanzhen, I am really not a monster. Maybe it's because I can go to that dreamland with the young master.
The reason why I stayed with the young master that night..."
and Li Danqing...
Stay together all the time!?
Such words seemed to be unintentional, but they undoubtedly hurt Liu Yan. She looked at Xing Shuangshuang with an increasingly angry look. Although she was angry at first, she still believed in her heart that there was nothing between Li Danqing and Xing Shuangshuang.
The previous anger was just out of dissatisfaction and a little jealousy, but now, with Li Danqing's obviously biased attitude toward Xing Shuangshuang, and Xing Shuangshuang's overt and covert provocation in his words, Liu Yanzhen was completely irritated...
But Li Shizi, who always knew how to observe words and emotions, was still unaware of this. He continued to look at Xing Shuangshuang and said, "Only you, me and An An have been to that dreamland. What do you think of this?"
Xing Shuangshuang also looked at Li Danqing with some surprise when he heard this. She mostly just played the role of a follower among the group of people. Logically speaking, it was not her turn to say anything about such important matters. But at this moment, Li Danqing said directly
Staring straight at her, Xing Shuangshuang's heart tightened, and she felt vaguely strange.
"Master...how can I explain these things clearly..." Xing Shuangshuang said in a panic.
"Is there anything unclear about this? Your analysis today is actually very reasonable. If we hadn't listened to you, we would have had a bad idea when we went to look for Ye Pang, and something big would have happened. If you have any thoughts in your heart, just say it.
, especially if you think we should get involved in this matter." Li Danqing said straightforwardly without giving Xing Shuangshuang any chance to back down.
Xing Shuangshuang was a little bit stuck when she heard this. She was not sure for a moment whether Li Danqing was testing her or really asking intentionally, but if she could use this to get Li Danqing to leave the place of right and wrong...
Thinking of this, Xing Shuangshuang simply gritted his teeth and said: "I think... since the court is in charge of this matter, let's not meddle in it. After all, we understand the twists and turns involved. If we do it with good intentions,
If it’s a bad thing, wouldn’t it be worth the loss…”
Most of the people around him have not yet fully digested the bizarre story Li Danqing told, and it is difficult to give much evaluation to what Xing Shuangshuang said, but they all lowered their heads and thought about it.
After hearing this, Li Danqing had a faint smile on his face. He still looked at Xing Shuangshuang. Such a direct gaze made Xing Shuangshuang feel on pins and needles for a while, just when Xing Shuangshuang couldn't bear Li Danqing's behavior. When looking at each other, Li Danqing suddenly said: "It makes sense, one more thing is worse than one less thing, so why don't we clean up and leave Sihai City tomorrow!"
"There really isn't anything good to do in this miserable place. Don't make yourself a mess when the time comes!"
Li Danqing's answer came so readily that Xing Shuangshuang was stunned and looked at Li Danqing with uncertain eyes, obviously not understanding whether Li Danqing's words were sincere or teasing her.
"I remember!" At this moment, Shi Ziju, who had been silent until now, suddenly slapped the table and said loudly.
The noise was so loud that Li Danqing trembled with fright. He looked at Shi Ziju with some surprise and said angrily: "Old sir... we have something to talk about, so don't be surprised."
Really? You don’t want a white-haired person to send a black-haired person to you, right?"
In the past, Shi Ziju, who had always looked down upon Li Danqing, would probably have ridiculed Li Danqing when he heard this. However, at this moment, Shi Ziju had no intention of understanding Li Danqing's ridicule. Instead, he said seriously:
"Fangzhou Junzhi! You said you met a guy named Fangzhou Junzhi in that dream, right?"
"Yes. His daughter's name is Lan County Zhi. I don't know what the customs are there. Is it possible for the child to follow his father's surname? Is it possible to become a wife by marriage? But according to what he said, he has more than a hundred
This child is like the protagonist in the story about a son-in-law that is popular among storytellers recently." Li Danqing muttered casually.
"He also mentioned Fengming Mountain?" Shi Ziju asked again.
"I said that the Taoist inheritors are the descendants of Fengming Mountain. I'm wondering if these guys are the souls of the previous dynasty's survivors." Li Danqing said sternly.
"I once read in an ancient book when I was following my husband that the Wumian County where Fengming Mountain is located was called Fangzhou County during the previous dynasty! When the previous dynasty fell, Fangzhou County organized a large number of rebels to resist the armed forces.
The army of the Yang Dynasty, it was rumored that the rebels were all evil heretics who could summon wind and thunder, and communicate with gods and demons. They fought fiercely with the army of Wuyang for half a year before they were defeated because of the lack of food and grass. There were more than 180 towns in the county.
After a long war, they were all burned down. Later, the imperial court may have thought that the name was unlucky, so they renamed Fangzhou County to Wumian County. Most of the cities were rebuilt, and the only one that retained the name of the previous dynasty was the one at the foot of Fengming Mountain.
of—Lan County.”
"Huh?" Li Danqing frowned when he heard these words. Of course he understood Shi Ziju's words, but he didn't quite understand them. The history of Fangzhou County seemed to be related to that dream, but it didn't seem to be.
Contact. He couldn't figure it out for a while. He looked up at Shi Ziju and asked, "What do you mean, sir?"
"Gulu." Shi Ziju swallowed his saliva at this moment and raised his head to look at Li Danqing.
"Sir once said that everything has animism."
"A sword that lasts for a long time can produce spiritual wisdom..."
"The book has been around for a long time, and if there are many people who read it, it should also give rise to spiritual wisdom. I think the things you encounter in your dreams are not ghosts and ghosts, but..."
