At the beginning of the day, the cock crows and the sky becomes bright.
The Fairy Goddess Temple is still there. Hikers who go up the mountain in the morning to ask about their safety are surprised to find that the temple is empty. Without the Fairy Goddess, the two trees in front of the temple withered overnight, leaving only the bare and twisted branches. They no longer have the charm of the fairy spirit of the past.
There is still lingering incense burning in the cauldron in front of the temple, but it has not been completely extinguished.
Feng Bei clearly pushed the entire mountain into a hole in the ghosts, let alone the Xiangu Temple.
But when he came out of the ghost world, everything was as good as before.
Except for the fairy girl who is gone, the others are still there.
The Xiangu Temple is there, the cauldron is there, and the waterfall is there.
In the pool, carps of all colors danced and competed at the dragon gate.
And in Danglang Town.
The four of them passed by the noodle shop yesterday, and Zheng Xiu happened to see the pancake stall opening opposite the inn.
The middle-aged man rolled out the cart clumsily, raised the flag, lit the fire, put on the iron plate, and evened out the rice paste.
Soon, the shrew thought the man was slow and rushed out with a rolling pin, beating and scolding him.
Several people, covered in blood and stains, sat down in the corner. The waiter tremblingly presented the hot noodles, saying that this was a small treat. The waiter in the store would not allow the boss to act wildly, and begged the uncles to moisten it up quickly after eating.
A lot of things happened that night, but in the end, it was like nothing happened.
This ghost seems to have penetrated a loneliness.
At least, for these people, that's it.
Just like the husband at the pancake stall opposite, he has lost part of his human soul, but he is still alive and well in the eyes of others.
The human soul is divided into four parts, leaving only "shape" and "luck".
On the way to eat noodles.
The four people were covered in blood and had murderous intent, looking like they were not easy to mess with.
Passers-by passed by, their faces changed with fright, and they ran away.
In fact, among the four of them, Dou Xie was the most frightening. His face seemed to have been plowed several times, with vertical scars stretching from his forehead to his chin, and his nose was even more bruised and swollen than yesterday.
The waiter at the shop finally mustered up the courage and asked the boy in a cryptic voice if he was being held hostage. If it was really you, just blink and the Danglang Town Government Office would be right next door.
Dou Xie recalled what happened to the ghosts, and cried sadly on the table.
Yue Yan, who was sitting across from Dou Xie, ate her noodles with a guilty conscience.
In the noodle shop, the shrine on the wall is still enshrined in honor of Danglangxian.
The people in the town still don't know that there is no more immortal girl on the mountain.
Zheng Xiu couldn't hear any movement and ate in one breath, just in time to have breakfast for his main body.
He saw the waiter in the shop devoutly offering three sticks of incense to Dang Langxian, thoughtfully.
When Zheng Xiu looked up, he saw Feng Bei sitting opposite him staring straight at his face, frowning.
Zheng Xiu felt bad when he saw Feng Bei's rare troubled expression.
This must be explained in some way.
If it were others, forget it. Once Zheng Xiu was exposed, he could just turn into smoke and leave, making others think he had seen a ghost.
But Fengbei is different.
Fengbei is his [stop]. As long as he follows Fengbei, his exploration distance is almost unlimited.
In the future, there will definitely be times when it is necessary to enter [Station Station Fengbei] and use the ghosts around Fengbei to move long distances.
Well, this matter can’t be left to chance.
Zheng Xiu, who was really deaf and pretending to be dumb, silently thought of a solution.
Except for Feng Bei, the other three people changed into clean clothes and took a shower at the inn. It was already noon.
It is worth mentioning that.
Before leaving Chang An, Zheng Xiu said that he was deaf and couldn't hear anything.
But Feng Bei didn't let Zheng Xiu go, and followed Zheng Xiu all the way, for fear that he would run away.
Even when he was taking a bath in a big wooden bucket in the room, Feng Bei was sitting five steps away from Zheng Xiu with his eyes closed, his ears trembling slightly, obviously listening.
It wasn't until Zheng Xiu put on his clothes and called a few times that Feng Bei calmly opened his eyes.
What's shameful is that the whole process actually made Mr. Zheng feel a little irritated.
You must not say this to Feng Bei, just keep it secretly in your heart.
Who told him to be a ten-year-old boy?
The deaf boy was unable to communicate. Yue Yan and Feng Bei could only stare at the innocent boy and clenched their fists.
They were obviously filled with doubts.
Not to mention them, even Mr. Zheng himself has many questions about what happened in Chang An and Guixiao.
Everything that has happened since he was imprisoned is full of mysteries.
The town was speechless. The four men redeemed the carriage and drove out of the city with the sound of horse hooves.
The person in charge of the horse is naturally Dou Xie. At this moment, his face is wrapped with thick gauze, which is quite miserable.
The Xiangu Temple and his entourage left a tragic shadow on him.
In the midst of ghosts and darkness, Zheng Xiu behaved strangely, which made Dou Xie and Yue Yan wonder whether this child was a natural stranger like Feng Bei.
Yueyan held the fat cat in her arms, feeding wicks into the cat's mouth from time to time, pointing at Zheng Xiu, angrily scolding whether his nose was broken. He couldn't even smell such an obvious alien. I want you. What's the use?
The fat cat burped, rolled his eyes, and wandered around Zheng Xiu. He couldn't smell the stranger's scent and looked quite innocent.
Yue Yan even had the bold idea of stripping the baby alive to see where his ominous birthmark was. But in the end, for Feng Bei's sake, Yue Yan had to give up this tempting idea.
As soon as the carriage left Danglang Town, Yueyan's raven flew back with a new message embedded in it.
Yue Yan secretly glanced at Feng Bei.
Feng Bei understood the idea and said, "Just say it's over so they don't have to come."
On the way back, along both sides of the road, fallen leaves were withered, white frost hung upside down, and the branches were covered with them, just like willow leaves, becoming a completely different kind of lushness.
Dou Xie was shivering from the cold while driving. He rested at a station along the way. He quickly lit a fire to keep warm and looked warily in the direction of the young man.
He was ignorant before, but now he understands that he must have fallen under that thief's miraculous trick!
hateful!
The original rhetoric of fighting against the evil spirit has long been forgotten, so how can he still dare to ask Zheng Xiu to know how to write the word "death"? He was hoping in his heart that that guy wouldn't come back again!
The poor kid was really frightened by the beating now.
Yueyan sat opposite Dou Xie, looking for Dou Xie to review and give some advice.
The so-called review is to draw experience from the recent battle with the three cripples.
Dou Xie was not happy at first, and his mood had not yet calmed down. He said that death was a big deal, so what was there to say.
Yueyan said slowly, if you don't learn your lesson, your face will be swollen next time.
After thinking about it, Yue Yan roughly understood the chain technique of the three deaf, mute and blind people.
They are disabled, which is a rule, a rule they follow all the time.
The medium of the technique is undoubtedly voice and gaze.
The other two were passable. As a [Thousand Gates General], the deaf man could actually change a person's will with just a casual word. This kind of magic must have strict restrictions.
This is what Yue Yan wants to discuss with Dou Xie.
If you can figure out the secret, you will definitely have the upper hand when encountering similar thaumaturges in the future.
Why didn't Fengbei be attracted by this much-loved review?
Yueyan sighed and looked towards Fengbei.
She thought of the horrifying scene of the "stranger" Feng Bei, razing Danglang Mountain with a wave of his hand... Maybe Mr. Shangxian San didn't need to review it.
During the heated discussion between Dou Xie and Yue Yan.
"come over."
Feng Bei flirted with the young man, knowing that the young man couldn't hear her now.
Why is this action so familiar?
Zheng Xiu bit the bullet and followed Feng Bei to the other side.
Feng Bei made another bonfire - apparently she had something to do with Zheng Xiu.
The two sat around the fire to keep warm.
Feng Bei was silent for a moment, then took out a long and narrow stick from the fire and wrote on the ground:
"Is Zheng Shan really your father?"
coming.
It would be strange if Feng Bei didn't doubt it.
Zheng Xiu secretly had a headache. He couldn't say, my father is me, I am me, it's all me, it's all messed up.
"Absolutely true."
Zheng Xiu replied that he couldn't hear, but he could still speak.
Feng Bei wrote again: "Feng Bei doesn't believe it."
Zheng Xiu answered honestly: "Everyone has secrets."
Feng Bei was stunned and Mu Chai paused.
Zheng Xiu decided to fight back: "Then let me ask you, why did you enter Chang An? Your mind was contaminated at that time?"
Feng Bei didn't expect Zheng Xiu to ask this question.
But the problem is no secret.
Feng Bei wrote on the ground again: "I heard my father's voice."
So evil?
I see.
Zheng Xiu nodded secretly, Feng Nantian must be dead. Zheng Xiu witnessed with his own eyes the tragic situation of the treasure king Cangyun twenty years ago. Zheng Xiu could not imagine that any living person could survive in the constant darkness.
But Feng Bei's reaction didn't look like he was faking it - Zheng Xiu was more inclined to see the foul air leaking out when Chang An was opened. Feng Bei was contaminated, hallucinated, and heard his father's voice.
Feng Bei then asked Zheng Shan over and over again about his relationship.
At first, Zheng Xiu insisted that Zheng Shan was my father, and it would not change even after the emperor came.
The carriage drove towards the imperial city again, but Feng Bei still refused to give up and kept asking.
Finally, when asked how upset Zheng Xiu was, and because someone was shaking his body in the imperial city, Zheng Xiu could only say casually:
"Okay, I'll tell you, if you learn to meow like a cat, I'll tell you."
Feng Bei puffed up his cheeks suddenly, seeming a little angry. She turned her head hard, her long hair falling down, hiding the smile on her lips.
Zheng Xiu found a comfortable position and lay down, preparing to sleep.
"……Meow."
…
Outside the carriage.
Dou Xie fell down from the carriage.
The horse jumped in fright, and Yue Yan, who was sitting on the top of the carriage, was shaken to her core and was also stunned.
She looked down at the fat cat in her arms. The cat had eaten and was sleeping peacefully.
She was absolutely certain that the cat that barked just now was not her cat.
