The fire in May Island came suddenly, rising from the east, and billowing black smoke darkened the clear sky.
Everyone said that this was the fire struck by the lightning last night, and it was a natural disaster.
The flames were not extinguished, and even had a tendency to spread, and the civilians in the city could not sleep or eat in peace.
However, at this critical moment, the city lord disappeared strangely, and no one knew where to look for it. It was at this time that they realized that the sudden appearance of the city lord was too mysterious. The city is completely gone.
Everyone had no choice but to report to the officials. The newly appointed magistrate He Zhiyi had nowhere to show his fists and feet, so he couldn't get what he wanted, so he immediately recruited people to put out the fire together.
Logging was used to pump water, and everyone worked together to prevent the fire from spreading to the surroundings of Elysium City. The vigorous fire-fighting operation lasted for three days, and finally, with a heavy rain, the fire was completely extinguished.
It is said that after the Wenchan people returned from the woods that day, they quickly woke up Situ Zhoulan who was still sleeping to give calligraphy and painting treatment, and they didn't fall asleep until dawn.
Waking up the next day, Wen Chan found that among several people, he was the only one who remembered what happened that day and night.
Asked in doubt, Liang Shuhong replied, "After we entered the forest last night, the weather changed suddenly. There was a strong wind, drought and thunder, and the calligraphy and painting were injured in a hasty escape. Didn't we come back?"
"The sacrifice..." Wen Chan probed.
However, Liang Shuhong looked bewildered, "What sacrifice?"
Even Liang Yanbei was the same, Wen Chan was silent for a while, and finally decided not to tell this matter, anyway, others would not believe it, so there is no need to waste words.
What he couldn't understand was why he was the only one who still remembered
However, he was not confused for a long time, because the Lord City Lord who suddenly disappeared suddenly appeared in his room.
Ah Fu and Qin Qi were taking care of the calligraphy and painting, Wen Chan was eating alone in the room, and the city lord stood quietly behind him.
"I heard that you almost ruined the sacrifice?" The voice sounded abruptly.
Wen Chan was concentrating on something, when he heard the voice, he choked and took a sip of herbal tea to calm himself down. When he looked back, he saw a bone fan dressed in white standing gracefully.
The city lord showed him a shallow smile, "Do you know how long I have been waiting for this sacrifice?"
Although he had a pleasant face, Wen Chan still felt the coldness from it, so he also said, "I don't know."
"I almost killed myself." He sighed.
What did Wen Chan mean by his words, so he didn't answer, just listened to him continue, "Maybe you don't know it yourself, but I sent you back with my own hands."
The meaning of these words is very clear, the city lord knows that he is a reborn person.
Wen Chan was startled, he always thought that his rebirth was a flaw in the cycle of destiny, but he didn't know that it was the handiwork of the city lord.
"The first time I saw you, you knew me, and my breath remained on your body, so I was sure that you were the soul I sent. Of course, I don't know the reason myself." He said.
This statement is a bit disgusting, Wen Chan slightly disliked it, and then asked an irrelevant question, "You are not Lou Muge, are you?"
The city owner was not surprised, and generously admitted, "That's right, the real Lou Muge was recalled only last night."
"A heinous monster?" Wen Chan said.
The city lord laughed lowly when he heard this, "Everyone in the world says so."
He added, "But it has nothing to do with you, you are just a mortal."
"You monsters gathered together and recalled an evil monster. How can you have nothing to do with me in Xiliang?" Wen Chan wondered, "At any rate, I am also the monarch of Xiliang."
Although it used to be.
He said, "You don't have to worry, someone will take care of everything, you just need to live your mortal life well."
Every word and every word of his means that no matter what happened last night, it has nothing to do with you, so you can rest assured.
Wen Chanxin, I just can't help but feel worried. After all, this matter is involved in such bizarre things.
Of course, it is good to think about these words in your heart, Wen Chan will not say them out, he was silent for a while, "You came to me just to say these things?"
"If your memory is not disturbed, you need to know the truth." He replied, "You just need to remember that the conversion of God is destroyed, and what happens here will not affect ordinary people."
These words reminded Wen Chan that although he had a sense of justice and felt that it was wrong for them to recall the monsters, he was more resigned to his life and would not bump into those people's paws recklessly.
He came to May Island to destroy Shenguijiao. Now Shenguijiao is really destroyed. Although it was not done by him, it has achieved its original purpose. In this way, the Zhong family is equivalent to being cut down and solidified. arm.
Even if the current Zhong family has the intention of rebellion, but the power is not yet mature. Presumably Zhong Wenting came to Wuyue Island this time because he wanted to win the gods back to the religion like he did in his previous life. Unlike the previous life, God's Guidance was also destroyed. If he didn't die, he would return without success.
After cutting off the bypass of the Zhong family, Wen Chan really gained the upper hand.
The next step is to return to the capital.
Wen Chan didn't know how long he had thought about it, but when he came to his senses, the city lord had already left, and he was still alone in the house.
After finishing his meal in a hurry, he ran to look for calligraphy and painting, and briefly asked about the situation.
The so-called one hundred days of injury, although the painting and calligraphy were not seriously injured, they still needed to recuperate for ten and a half months, so the return to the capital was delayed.
July is coming to an end soon, and when Wen Chan is counting the calendar, he realizes that a big day is coming.
For several days in a row, he left early and returned late, unable to see the beginning and the end, Liang Yanbei missed several times in a row, caught Shan Ke very depressed and asked, "Do you know what Young Master Wen is up to lately?"
Shan Ke was very surprised, "You ask me? Where do I know where to go?"
Liang Yanbei frowned in distress.
"Aren't you going to ask the little eunuch next to him? Follow him all day." Shan Ke said.
Liang Yanbei gave him a look, did you think I didn't ask, "He refused to say."
"Why do you stare at him all day? Can't he do something by himself?!" Shan Ke said angrily.
"I haven't seen him for four days in a row!" After speaking, Liang Yanbei felt that the cousin's tone was very rude, and raised his hand to beat him, "Why did you talk to me?"
Shan Ke hurriedly backed away, staring and shouting, "You can't take your anger out on me! I will sue you in front of my aunt when I go back!"
"How dare you!" Liang Yanbei threatened.
Shan Ke couldn't afford to be provoked and could hide, and was about to run away with oil on his feet. Liang Yanbei was about to chase after him, but saw Wen Chan coming in through the courtyard gate, and turned his footsteps immediately, and came to him.
"Master Wen, where have you been?" As soon as he approached, he smelled the fragrance of green grass and asked calmly.
Wen Chan seemed a little tired, looked up at him and said, "Go out for a walk."
"Oh—" Liang Yanbei looked him up and down carefully. He was obviously in a hurry to find someone just now, but now he saw him, but he didn't know what to say, "Then...do you have time tomorrow night?"
He nodded, "What's the matter?"
Liang Yanbei paused for a moment, and then said, "It's nothing serious, just have a meal together, it's a casual feast."
"Well, I got it." Wen Chan replied in a calm manner, maybe he was really tired, and he entered the room after speaking, and Ah Fu who was following behind looked back at Liang Yanbei.
Liang Yanbei's eyes followed the man back into the room, and he didn't look back until the door was closed. He felt a little irritated for no reason, stood there for a while, and then went to look for the cousin who needed to be beaten.
What day is tomorrow, Wen Chan naturally will not forget.
The last day of July is Liang Yanbei's birthday, Wen Chan has been busy these few days just to prepare a birthday gift for him, and specially told Ah Fu not to tell outsiders.
After getting acquainted with Liang Yanbei in his previous life, Wen Chan would carefully prepare presents on every birthday. Unfortunately, the things he prepared had never been given out since Liang Yanbei got married.
It wasn't that Liang Yanbei didn't accept it, but that Wen Chan himself couldn't give it away anymore.
In order to keep himself from thinking wildly, Wen Chan took a bath and went to sleep earlier.
No one deliberately mentioned Liang Yanbei's birthday, but many people knew about it. Even Yun Yongxu sent congratulatory gifts and piled them up in the small courtyard.
The steward in the mansion served a table of sumptuous meals, and specially set up a big table in the small courtyard. Liang Yanbei was so happy that even the three subordinates around Wen Chan were allowed to sit on the table, so the whole table was full.
Even Jiang Yueying was invited to participate.
A group of young people, who knew a little bit of manners, pushed and pushed Wen Chan to take the main seat, but Wen Chan thought it was Liang Yanbei's birthday, so he insisted on giving up his seat. Like on a stool.
When Liang Yanbei saw that there were three or four people between him and Wen Chan, he didn't want to sit in the chair right away. As soon as he moved, Shan Ke pressed him hard on the stool, "Cousin, today is your birthday, you should sit in the chair." of!"
"Who else can you let sit if you don't sit? Is it possible to make the main seat vacant?" He added.
As soon as the words came out, everyone on the table stared at him, Liang Yanbei suddenly felt unable to stand up, and squinted at Shan Ke, "Speak less, my head hurts when you speak."
Shan Ke giggled, sat down next to Liang Yanbei, and greeted, "Everyone, don't hold back, today is my cousin's birthday, eat and drink freely! Enough meat and wine!"
I don't know if there is enough meat, but there must be enough wine. Shan Ke is in charge of buying wine.
There are wine jars at the feet.
Shan Ke opened a jar and poured it one by one, "Girls, this is the only way to drink plum wine, and we men only drink bamboo leaf green, it won't make you drunk."
Qiao Yanci said with a smile, "There is no such thing as wine that is not intoxicating."
"This wine is really not drunk." Shan Ke said, "There is a little alcohol smell in it, and everyone here drinks it as a drink."
Situ Zhoulan took a sip first, surprise flashed in her eyes, and she praised, "It's really delicious, neither sour nor spicy, and the taste of wine is not strong."
Shan Ke smiled triumphantly, "Of course, I picked it for you girls."
After pouring for the girls, he poured for the boys. It was Wen Chan's turn, but Wen Chan pulled the wine bottle, "I don't drink."
Everyone at the table didn't expect him to say that, and they were all taken aback at the same time.
Shan Ke is the best at persuading people to drink, "How can I do that? My cousin is the birthday star today. If you drink a cup, it will be regarded as giving my cousin a year. If you don't drink it, you will be one year off. Master Wen, my cousin treats you well, right?"
Wen Chan was helpless, "How can there be such a reason?"
"That's the way we are all over the world." Shan Ke reached out to grab his wine bottle, "Don't talk about anything else, fill it up first!"
Wen Chan hurriedly protected him, and the two fought in full view. Liang Shuhong stepped in, "Cousin, since Young Master Wen doesn't want to drink, isn't it difficult for you to persuade me?"
Do like your cousin.
"You've wronged me too much by saying that." Shan Ke sighed, very aggrieved, "I just want to make Young Master Wen happy for the birthday, so why is it difficult for the strong."
"Yeah, we all drank it, and it's hard to justify Young Master Wen not drinking it alone." Qiao Yanci chimed in.
"Master Wen, let's have a drink, let's have fun together." Situ Zhoulan also spoke for the first time.
Liang Shuhong lost to three and was defeated. Ah Fu took the lead, "Our young master has never liked to drink. If you can't drink enough, if you get drunk..."
He was stunned in the middle of speaking, and then he thought about it seriously and said to Wen Chan, "If you get drunk, I will take good care of you, young master, you can drink a little, as for Mr. Liang Blessed."
I thought it was a friendly army, but I never thought it was a spy!
Wen Chan glared at him and whispered, "Shut up."
Alfred pouted.
Shan Ke saw that everyone supported him, and his arrogance was high. He was about to speak when he heard Liang Yanbei say, "Since you can't drink Zhuyeqing, how about drinking plum wine?"
Wen Chan looked at him blankly, and saw him smiling gently, "Wine that isn't intoxicating, it's okay."
This was too much to refuse, if Wen Chan pushed it further, it would spoil everyone's interest, so he had no choice but to agree.
Shan Ke quickly changed the wine, brought Wen Chan some wine bottles that he didn't want to hand over, and filled them up with a whimper.
"Come on, I wish my cousin a new year, good health and good luck in everything!" Shan Ke didn't know what he was having fun with, and yelled from ear to ear, "Let's have a drink together!"
Wen Chan slowly held up the wine bottle to touch it, and after touching it, seeing that everyone was drinking, he followed Xiao Xiao and took a sip.
The plum wine tastes really good, neither the sourness of plums nor the spicyness of wine, but sweet and quite delicious.
Just after drinking, a faint smell of alcohol welled up.
Wen Chan thought that everyone was drinking and no one would pay attention to him, so he was about to put down the wine bottle after taking a sip, but he didn't want to be caught by Shan Ke again.
"Hey—" he yelled, "Young Master Wen, what's the matter with you, the first glass of wine is going to bottom out, you sip it one sip at a time, and you won't be able to finish this glass by tomorrow!"
Wen Chan was puzzled, "Why are you always staring at me?"
"It's not that I want to stare at you. You are the most prominent at this table. Our glasses are all empty, but you are still full." Shan Ke said, "Finish the drink."
Liang Yanbei chuckled, "Forget it, let him go."
"That won't work." Shan Ke insisted, urging, "Hurry up!"
Wen Chan bit Yabang angrily, and muttered, "My place is full..." Mingming took a sip just now.
However, everyone at the table was staring at him, so he had to drink the wine bottle in one go.
