A few days passed by, without the alcohol bug, and with the Jiuhua Jade Dew Pill given by Jiang Chen, Liu Xun quickly recovered. When Master Liu saw this, he was even more happy and entertained Jiang. Chen was almost more enthusiastic than his biological father. Wang Erlang naturally received a different treatment than before when he was in love with Wu Jiwu.
There are delicious food and drinks every day, and there are a lot of medicinal materials needed for alchemy, and there is no need to worry about some mundane things. Sometimes Jiang Chen really wants to stay at Liu's house for a few months before leaving, but in the end he still doesn't do more. After staying, seeing that Liu Xun was fine, he said goodbye to Mr. Liu. Master Liu naturally tried every means to persuade him to stay, but Jiang Chen had already decided to leave, so he could only offer him a thousand pieces of gold as a reward.
Immediately afterwards, Wang Erlang also said goodbye. After all, he was the one who brought Jiang Chen to Jinhua County to treat his friend Liu Xun. Now that Liu Xun had recovered from his illness, he naturally couldn't let Jiang Chen leave alone. Master Liu couldn't keep him, so he had to offer him a sum of money to express his gratitude, and sent him and Jiang Chen away from Guobei County.
The two rode back to Yuncheng. Since they were not in a hurry to save people like when they came, and Mr. Liu had prepared sufficient dry food and clean water for them, the two of them walked leisurely on the way back, with no traffic along the way. I forgot about the mountains and rivers, and my speed was several times slower than when I came here. Three or five days passed, and I was still wandering around in the mountains.
Unexpectedly, on this day, a heavy fog suddenly appeared in the mountains and forests, and it did not dissipate for a whole day and night. The two of them were looking for a path in the fog, and they didn't know how many mountain roads they had to go around. In the evening of the next day, there was a sudden light. Appearing in front of them, the two looked for the light and saw the foot of a hill not far away. Under the dim light, the outline of a house was vaguely illuminated. The high doors and big walls turned out to be a huge house that was not under the Liu Mansion. .
"How can there be people in the barren mountains and wild ridges? Could it be that I am too tired and have hallucinations?" Wang Erlang suddenly became suspicious when he saw this. He wanted to rub his eyes to take a closer look, but he saw that the lights were still there. Under the light of the fire, there was a huge The courtyard was magnificent, but the more I looked at it, the more uneasy I felt. After all, he had walked back and forth on this mountain road between Yuncheng and Jinhua County countless times. He had never seen such a large courtyard in the mountains. Could it be
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but subconsciously look at Jiang Chen next to him, and asked in surprise: "Master Zhiqiu, have we encountered any ghosts again?"
"Well, let me take a look." He muttered, and saw Jiang Chen's eyes shimmering in five colors. He looked at the pavilions in front of him, and in an instant he was enveloped by a layer of hazy white mist. It seemed like an illusion but not an illusion, but seemed real. Not true, it immediately aroused his interest.
"How is it?" Wang Erlang asked with a bit of worry: "Is it a ghost?"
"No." Jiang Chen shook his head and said with a hint of joking on his face: "This time, maybe it will be our adventure. Let's go. It's a cold night in the mountains. I'll take you to get a drink to warm you up." Warm yourself up.”
"This..." Wang Erlang was still surprised in his heart, but then he thought that he was following Taoist Zhiqiu who had magical powers. Even if he encountered ghosts, why should he be afraid? Immediately, he calmed down and responded in a deep voice: "Since I know that Master Qiu has spoken, Xiaosheng will naturally follow suit."
"Very good." Jiang Chen immediately urged the horse with him towards the pavilions. However, considering that although Wang Erlang had experienced several ghosts and strange things with him, he was just an ordinary scholar after all, so he did not forget to remind him on the way. He said: "You follow me there, but you need to remember that no matter what you see or see, don't make a fuss, lest you make the master's house lively and our wine and food will be ruined."
Hearing this, Wang Erlang could not have guessed that this trip must be no ordinary place, and he would most likely encounter some mountain spirits and ghosts. However, he thought that with Jiang Chen here, there would be no danger, and he had not seen the ghosts before. Strange experience, now that I have a foundation in my heart, I have a little more confidence, and I responded calmly: "What did the Taoist say? Although Erlang is a scholar, he is not a timid person. , The sage has something to say, if you don’t say anything, the monsters can confuse the gods. If you let other monsters and monsters come before you, I will treat myself as if I don’t see them!”
"That's good." Jiang Chen saw that he spoke with a tone, so he didn't deliberately try to discredit him. He just responded briefly and continued to urge the horse forward. Wang Erlang was stunned for a moment and quickly followed.
The road in the mountains was already rugged and difficult, not to mention it was getting late now. It seemed like a short distance, but the two of them walked for a long time before they came to the pavilions.
"Huangfu Courtyard!"
Above the plaque hanging high in front of the door, there are four ancient seal characters with vigorous and powerful strokes. It is very eye-catching under the illumination of the two rows of red lanterns hanging at the door.
Wang Erlang is a scholar. When he saw it, his heart was shaken immediately, and he couldn't help but praise: "Good calligraphy!"
Jiang Chen saw things differently from him. Although the four characters on the door plaque were well written, what attracted him was the abundant demonic power contained in those four characters. At least, there were more than seven or eight hundred years of history. Is that okay
The world of monsters is different from that of humans. The strength of monsters depends not only on the depth of their Taoism, but also on their own type. They also have five hundred years of cultivation. Some monsters are incredibly powerful, but some monsters are pitifully weak, and even , even ordinary humans can't do it. This is not a strange thing.
However, to be able to accumulate such abundant demonic power, the owner of this house is obviously not an easy person to deal with, and Jiang Chen is the only one who has no fear because of his own magical powers.
"Stop whining and knock on the door quickly. Aren't you hungry?" Turning over and dismounting, Jiang Chen chuckled and urged Wang Erlang forward.
"Oh." Wang Erlang, who had come back to his senses, nodded and responded. He immediately got off his horse and stepped forward as he was told. He was about to reach out and knock on the door, but then he thought that the owner of the house might be some vicious ghost. He knocked so rashly. Door, will he be murdered by the other party? However, he had previously vowed to Jiang Chen that he was not a timid person. If he didn't knock, wouldn't it appear that he was afraid and guilty
Jiang Chen saw his outstretched hand stopped in front of the door, but he didn't dare to knock it down. He still didn't understand what was going on in this kid's heart at this moment. He chuckled softly and said in his mouth: "What, Wang Er?" Could it be that Young Master is scared?"
"Who said that? I'm so scared!" Jiang Chen's words stung Wang Erlang. His hair suddenly exploded and he hurriedly said: "I'm going to knock on the door right now." As he spoke, he raised his hand and knocked repeatedly. The door fell, and in the stillness of the night, there was a very clear sound, accompanied by his loud call: "Is anyone home?"
Not long after, there was a sound of footsteps coming from inside the door, getting closer and closer. Then, there was only a "squeak" sound, and the two closed vermilion doors opened inward, revealing the figure opening the door inside.
"Oh my god!" Although he had already been prepared in his heart, and although he had warned himself not to be afraid in every possible way, when things came to pass, he still couldn't help but scream in fear. The whole person couldn't help but retreated continuously, retreated directly behind Jiang Chen and hid, saying repeatedly: "Zhiqiu Daochang, there are, there are, there are monsters!"
Jiang Chen looked at him with a teasing smile on his face: "Didn't you say you're not scared? How could you be so scared now?"
"I..." Wang Erlang was as scared as he had been with his heroic words before. He hesitated for a long time, but only said with a trill in his mouth: "That, that's... Monster?"
"Are monsters scary?" Jiang Chen smiled and shook his head: "Maybe, in your opinion, they are, but in my opinion, sometimes and some people are actually scarier than monsters."
"Pa bang bang..."
Hearing this, Wang Erlang was still in a daze, but there was a clear sound of clapping in the house with the door wide open. Then, someone praised: "As Xiangnu said, sir, you are indeed an extraordinary person." also!"
"Thank you." After hearing this, Jiang Chen couldn't help but humbly said: "I just saw a lot, so I just made this comment. It's not a wise statement."
"Sir, it's because you are too humble. Nowadays, the world is in chaos. Taoist masters like you are rare. Today, I have a chance to meet you. Please come to my humble residence to pay a visit." As he spoke, the door opened. Under the illumination of the red lantern in front of the door, two figures, one yellow and one black, gradually appeared. As Wang Erlang said, the owner of this house is indeed not an ordinary person, but... a monster... .
