"Master, Master, wake up." Urging voices came into Chen Luo's ears. Chen Luo felt someone pushing him and slowly opened his eyes.
"Master, you're awake. Hurry, please help the young master change his clothes." The pretty and charming little maid said quickly, "Otherwise, it will be too late."
Chen Luo turned his head, glanced at the little maid, then looked around carefully, and suddenly woke up.
Where is this?
A bedroom that I have never seen before, and a maid that I have never seen before.
Chen Luo shook his head. Didn't he discuss things about the Netherworld with his uncle in the Fengdu Palace?
I had the impression that my uncle had just told me that the secret place to be opened was called Wangchuan. How come I was lying here in the blink of an eye?
Did he travel through time again?
Chen Luo sensed his body and didn't notice the existence of the worldly aura at all, so he moved his soul... Damn it, he couldn't sense the existence of the soul sea.
It can be said that Chen Luo is an ordinary mortal now.
Chen Luo calmed down, looked at the maid again, and thought: "What's the rush?"
"The world is big, what could be bigger than my young master sleeping?"
"I haven't woken up yet, let me sleep for a while."
As Chen Luo was about to lie down again, the maid became anxious and quickly reached out to hold Chen Luo's arm and said in a tearful tone: "My good young master, please get up quickly."
"Today is the first day that the old man retires and returns to his hometown. You are the eldest grandson, so you should go and say hello."
"If you miss the moment, the old man will feel sorry for you, but the housekeeper's wife will definitely punish me. I beg you."
The little maid was about to shed tears as she spoke. When Chen Luo heard this, he probably had an outline in his mind.
No matter what happened to him, his current identity should be that of a young master in an official family, with a grandfather who had just retired and returned home.
"Okay." Chen Luo sat up again, got off the bed, let the little maid change his clothes, and said seemingly casually, "I haven't finished reading "Journey to the West" last night, have you put away the book? "
When the little maid heard this, she stopped moving her hands and said with confusion on her face: "Master, what kind of book is "Journey to the West"?"
"This slave has never read or heard of this book."
Chen Luo frowned slightly: "What about "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms"? Or "The Romance of the West Chamber"?"
The little maid finally looked worried and said, "What kind of books are those? Master, are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere? I'll report it to the housekeeper's wife."
"Oh, it's okay." Chen Luo waved his hand, "Maybe I was dreaming too deeply. These are the titles of books that appeared in my dreams. Okay, come on, I'll go pay my respects to grandpa."
As he said this, Chen Luo's heart skipped a beat.
If it is related to the previous world, even if you travel to someone else's body, at least everyone will know these books.
New world?
No, we still need to collect more information.
Soon, the little maid tied up Chen Luo and finished washing and dressing up, then led Chen Luo to greet him.
To be honest, if this was the time when Chen Luo had just traveled through time, he would inevitably be a little confused, but today's Chen Luo is no longer what he used to be. Both his state of mind and his structure have improved by more than one level. Therefore, even when faced with such a strange situation, he is still calm and calm.
Following the maid to a courtyard deep in the mansion, the maid stopped at the door, while Chen Luo walked directly in.
Walking into the small courtyard, Chen Luo saw an old man sitting on a sofa, drinking gruel. The old man looked very old, but his eyes were very bright. He looked at Chen Luo and laughed: "Here he is..."
Chen Luo quickly saluted and said, "My grandson, please pay your respects to grandpa."
The old man waved his hand casually and said: "Get up. Come and have some breakfast together." After that, he said to the butler next to him, "Go and get some hot porridge for the young master, and some pasta too. Young man ,good appetite."
The butler took the order and left. The old man looked at Chen Luo again and said, "Come sit down and have something to eat together."
"Well, my grandson will eat some with grandpa." Chen Luo nodded. He had already elicited some words from the maid. This grandpa just returned to his hometown yesterday. The last time he went home was ten years ago, so between the two of them, There is still a sense of strangeness. And his father, who is closest to him at home, also benefited from this grandfather's kindness and went to Beijing to serve as an official half a month ago.
So while chatting, as long as you pay attention, you won't reveal any flaws.
On the contrary, Chen Luo hoped to get more information out of the other party. After all, the other party had retired from serving as a second-rank minister, so he must have a better understanding of the nature of the world.
…
Half an hour later, Chen Luo hurriedly walked into the study room of the mansion.
It can't be said that the chat with the old man was fruitless, but the result was far from what Chen Luo hoped for.
According to the old man, this world is more like an orthodox historical world without any extraordinary power. The imperial court has been in power for two hundred years, and there are hidden dangers from nomads in the north, but for now it is just scabies.
"No, have I really traveled through time again?" Chen Luo was flipping through the classics in his study, and the more he read, the more panicked he became. Unlike the previous time travel, he had no worries after the death of his grandmother, so he just wore it. But now, in that world of idle books, I have respected elders, senior brothers who love me, followers who admire me, and...Sixth Senior Sister!
I still have unfinished business and unfulfilled responsibilities!
How can you just put it on and let it go?
Don't panic, don't panic.
My first time traveling was caused by driving into a cliff.
But this time, I was just chatting with my uncle!
Could it be that something happened in the middle but I can't remember it?
Did you forget something?
Thinking of this, Chen Luo's mind was stirred, he picked up the pen and wrote two words on the paper: Wangchuan!
In myths and legends, after death, people have to pass through the Gate of Hell and take the Road to the Underworld. Between the Road to the Underworld and Hades, the Wangchuan River is the dividing line. The water of Forget River is blood-yellow, filled with lonely ghosts who cannot be reincarnated. It is full of insects and snakes, and the fishy wind blows against your face. There is Naihe Bridge on the Wangchuan River, and there is a ghost named Mengpo beside the Naihe Bridge, who cooks Mengpo soup day and night, which can make people forget the past.
"Is it related to the mysterious place of Wangchuan?" A glimmer of hope flashed in Chen Luo's eyes.
Chen Luo thought for a while, stood up, and decided to go out for a walk to see if he made any new discoveries!
…
Because he was going out to look for clues, Chen Luo left the mansion alone without any entourage and wandered around the streets. According to the local chronicles I had read in my study, I knew that the town I was in was called Goose City, which was a small town. The most commendable thing in this Goose City is the soup called "Baxiang Soup". It is said that there is a cook who is the best at this soup and was appointed as the royal chef.
Not far away, Chen Luo saw a tea shop with a sign of "Eight Spice Soup". With the idea of collecting as much information as possible, Chen Luo walked in and ordered a portion of Eight Spice Soup.
After a while, the soup was served. After taking a sip, it was indeed fragrant. Chen Luo had just picked up the soup and was about to drink it, when suddenly a figure appeared out of nowhere and bumped into Chen Luo from behind. Chen Luo's hand shook and all the soup in the bowl spilled on the floor.
"Hey, I'm hit, I'm hit..." The man who hit Chen Luo was about forty or fifty years old, with a beard and messy hair. He exuded a musty smell that had not been bathed in months. He pulled Chen Luo's arm shouted, "I'm hit, I'm hit!"
"Go! Go! Go!" Immediately, a waiter rushed up and pulled the seemingly crazy man away from Chen Luo. Then the shopkeeper stepped forward and apologized, "Sir, I'm really sorry. I was careless. Let that madman run in."
"I'll make you a new bowl of eight-spice soup right now."
"Crazy?" Chen Luo looked at the figure who was pulled out and asked casually.
"Isn't that right..." the shopkeeper said while clearing the table, "His name is Fan Jin, he turned out to be a scholar. He has been taking exams all his life, but he has failed."
"Then he went crazy!"
"Alas, he is also a poor man!"
When Chen Luo heard this familiar name, he was shocked. He quickly threw down some broken silver and chased out.
…
When Chen Luo ran to the door, he saw Fan Jin walking into an alley, and Chen Luo quickly chased after him.
But when Chen Luo ran to the alley, Fan Jin had long disappeared, but the sight in front of him left Chen Luo stunned.
I saw paper money flying all over the alley, and the sound of mourning and wailing could be heard in my ears.
A funeral procession.
In front of the team, I saw a young man holding a tablet, but the words on it were a little blurry.
Chen Luo quickly stepped aside and allowed the funeral procession to pass by him. Just when the coffin was carried past him, Chen Luo suddenly felt a sense of oppression in his heart as if a mountain was falling.
It wasn't until the funeral procession walked out of the alley and headed towards the city gate that Chen Luo breathed a long sigh of relief and walked out of the alley in the other direction and onto the main road.
After just walking a few steps on the avenue, a baby's cry suddenly came from a nearby house. Then a middle-aged man ran out of the house with excitement on his face and shouted: "I have a son. I have a son." I have a son..."
As he spoke, the middle-aged man took out a handful of copper coins from his arms and threw them towards the road. This is called giving birth to a child and getting money. The person who got the copper coin goes up to say auspicious words to the middle-aged man, and both of them get good luck.
Suddenly the street became chaotic. A group of people were busy grabbing the wedding money. They crowded in front of the middle-aged man, clasped their hands and clasped their fists, saying auspicious words that they wanted no money, which made the middle-aged man even happier and scattered several more coins. go out.
Chen Luo couldn't help but smile. He saw a funeral and a birth. It took only half a cup of tea before and after, and they were only separated by an alley. This kind of human encounter is quite strange.
…
After walking for a while, Chen Luo arrived at the county government office in Echeng.
In Chen Luo's view, the imperial court should be the place where luck gathers, and there may be some clues here.
But as soon as Chen Luo walked to the county government office, he noticed a melon selling shed not far from the county government office.
The melon sellers were an old man and a young man. The old man was in his fifties, with white hair, and the young man was in his twenties. Although he had put on some disguises, Chen Luo could tell at a glance that the man was a woman disguised as a man.
Normally, it wouldn't be a big deal for a woman to dress up as a man and sell melons, but with Chen Luo's martial arts master's eyesight, he could tell at a glance that both of them had kung fu in them.
Even though Chen Luo can't sense the aura of the mortal world now and is just an ordinary young man, his eyesight is still there.
Isn't it strange that two people with martial arts skills are selling melons at the county government office?
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster!
And this demon may be the clue Chen Luo wants!
Chen Luo walked up quickly. He didn't want to alert the enemy. After all, with his current fighting ability, he was simply a scumbag. It was better to wait and see what would happen.
So Chen Luo sat down at a tea stall nearby, ordered a pot of tea, and observed it carefully.
About an hour later, the yamen was off duty, and many yamen servants and officials came out and walked towards Chen Luo.
Chen Luo noticed that the melon seller's partner's eyes fell on a fat official behind him.
"Assassination?" Chen Luo stood up and found a safer direction to hide.
He wasn't going to remind you!
After all, his goal is to find some clues from the chaos.
Soon, when the official approached, the old man selling melons was the first to attack. He picked up the watermelon knife in his hand and jumped up and rushed forward.
Suddenly the whole scene became chaotic.
"Well, let's practice kung fu outside. Let's try to reach the ninth level!" When everyone was panicking, only Chen Luo stood in the hidden place where he had already stood. He wore a teapot and took a sip. He probably made an evaluation of the old man's martial arts value in his mind!
As soon as the old man took a few steps, he was stopped by the government official who reacted quickly. The official immediately turned around and ran into the government office.
"Silly!" Chen Luo shook his head. The young man disguised as a man had already left and was stationed in another position. The official turned around and ran in the direction of the other party.
I saw the woman slapping her hand on her waist, and immediately pulled out a soft sword. Then the sword flashed and her throat was sealed with blood!
The official fell down holding his throat, and the woman shouted at the old man: "Let's go!"
The two people then split into two directions and fled immediately.
When Chen Luo saw this, he immediately chased after the woman!
…
The reason why he chased the woman was that Chen Luo saw that although the woman's moves looked fierce, they were actually just a burst of moves. Once that move was used up, he would not be able to hold on for long and would inevitably lose strength. And that old man has real skills.
Of course, there is another reason. The old man attracted most of the government officials, but there were only two or three government officials who went after the woman.
After all, the government officials couldn't see the woman's true identity. They were also human beings, so naturally they would be weak to pursue her.
When chasing a woman, you have greater confidence.
But Chen Luo chased for a while and then stopped.
Damn it!
This body of mine is too useless.
Why am I so exhausted after chasing him two streets away?
Alas, it’s been a long time since I’ve felt a mortal body.
Chen Luo sighed, sat down on the roadside, and took a breath.
Now it's better, the only incident that can be regarded as chaos was missed by me.
Chen Luo raised his head and saw the city gate not far away.
Unknowingly, he had chased him to the city gate.
Looking at the city gate, Chen Luo suddenly remembered the description in the local chronicle: There is a big river outside Echeng, with a width of hundreds of feet. Goose feathers do not float, only five trees, pine, cypress, locust, elm, and cypress, can float on it and boats can be built to travel.
Chen Luo frowned slightly. He didn't pay much attention when he saw it before, but now he thinks about it, what are pine, cypress, locust, elm, and cypress? Wuyin wood!
The big river...could it be Wangchuan?
Thinking of this, Chen Luo suddenly felt energetic again.
Go and have a look?
Just do it!
Chen Luo stood up again and walked towards the outside of the city.
…
Walking into the city gate, the sudden shadow gave Chen Luo a cold feeling.
The city gate seemed to be deeper than he thought, like a tunnel. When Chen Luo walked out of the city gate, he didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt that the sky was a little gloomier.
Because Goose City is surrounded by a river, there are only a few people coming here on weekdays. Outside the city gate, there are only two wooden sculptures of soldiers guarding the city gate, which looks quite strange.
Looking up, there is indeed a long and surging river in the distance. The water is not red, but it is not clear either. Chen Luo hesitated for a moment, but still walked towards the river.
After walking for about half an hour, Chen Luo finally arrived at the bank of the river. Looking at the river, Chen Luo frowned.
If other rivers are flowing, then the river in front of you seems to be crawling.
Looking around, there is no ferry on the river.
Chen Luo picked up a stone and threw it into the river. The stone fell into the river and sank directly to the bottom without even a splash.
Chen Luo wanted to reach out and feel the river water, but as soon as he poked his head out, he saw a face reflected in the river. The face was twisted and bleeding from its orifices, as if it was shouting something!
Chen Luo was startled and stepped back.
Something weird!
At this time, Chen Luo didn't think much and turned around quickly to return to the city.
At this moment, a drop of water suddenly fell on Chen Luo's face.
Chen Luo was stunned for a moment, then raised his head and saw raindrops falling from the sky.
In the rain, flowers suddenly bloomed on the bank where there was originally dry grass.
It was a red flower that opened like a flame.
It was like a fire starting a prairie fire. In an instant, these flowers spread and bloomed all over the shore. Chen Luo seemed to be standing in a sea of flowers.
Chen Luo heard some noise in his ears. He slowly turned around and saw that the water of the river began to turn red. In the blink of an eye, it turned into a bright blood red.
Then, shadows crawled out of the river one by one, exuding a terrifying aura.
"not good!"
Chen Luo was shocked and ran towards Echeng. But soon, Chen Luo suddenly felt a cold in his chest. He lowered his head and saw something that looked like a claw and a hand piercing through his chest. come out.
Chen Luo felt his consciousness getting weaker and weaker. At the last moment when he closed his eyes, he saw countless red monsters rushing towards Goose City.
Then, Chen Luo closed his eyes...
…
Netherworld, Fengdu City.
Emperor Lin stood on the balcony of his dormitory, looking in one direction with worry in his eyes.
"Your Majesty...it's time for dinner." Shangguan Wan'er said softly from behind Emperor Lin.
"Withdraw, I have no appetite today." Emperor Lin waved his hand.
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Wan'er nodded, but still said: "Your Majesty, King Fengdu is amazingly talented. He will definitely return in triumph from his trip to Wangchuan."
"I hope so." Emperor Lin said lightly.
…
"Master, Master, wake up." Urging voices came into Chen Luo's ears. Chen Luo felt someone pushing him and slowly opened his eyes.
"Huh?" Chen Luo was shocked. Wasn't he killed by a monster by the river before?
"Master, you're awake. Hurry, please help the young master change his clothes." The little maid saw Chen Luo opening his eyes and said quickly, "Otherwise, it will be too late."
Chen Luo turned his head, looked at the little maid, and asked hesitantly: "Why is it too late?"
"Greetings to the old man!" the maid said quickly, "Today is the first day that the old man retires and returns to his hometown. You are the eldest grandson, so you should go and say hello."
Chen Luo was startled and sat up from the bed.
Gan!
It’s a cycle!
