It's mid-July. Under the teaching of Li Chunfeng, Tang Ying's understanding of ancient Chinese in the Tang Dynasty improved a lot. Originally, she was smart, and some of the Tang Dynasty characters were not much different from modern Chinese characters, so the books were getting smoother and smoother.

But she didn't dare to show that she was too good. I guess when I was about to be suspected, I made an excuse not to look at it.

Li Chunfeng has a lot of excellent qualities. What Tang Ying admires most is his self-control. His life and rest are simply drawn with a ruler. No matter how boring or boring it is, you will definitely do something specific at a certain time, and never hesitate or procrastinate.

Watching him meticulously write and deduce day after day, Tang Ying seems to have seen his future prospects. Without the multi-threaded modern life of listening to songs while surfing the Internet and playing with mobile phones, it is only a matter of time before you go crazy with boredom.

But a regular life is not without its benefits. In addition to reading and literacy, Li Chunfeng also taught her to sit on the pile. In his early years, he worshipped a master as a teacher, and was an out-and-out Taoist priest, who had a lot of research on health and fitness. After two months of exercise, she also felt that this small body was a lot more relaxed.

During this time, Tang Ying also discovered something strange. There are always people in Shanxia Village who send grain and vegetables to Li Chunfeng, and there are also people who give money directly. From the thank-you words of these people, I know that it is he who blesses the wind and rain here and the safety of the house, there is no nuisance of wild beasts, and there is no demon scourge, which is really more effective than the land lord.

Li Chunfeng is also not polite, he wants to come to the imperial court, his research funds are not abundant, and Tang Ying, a drag oil bottle, needs money even more.

When she returned home on the first day of July, Mrs. Tang was already pregnant again. Judging from Lord Tang's eyes, Tang Ying might let his wife work hard when he went back at this time, so it was better not to go back. However, she can come back to take care of the baby after it is born. In the blink of an eye, it was almost July 15, and she felt more and more that she had to go back. But Li Chunfeng seems to have something to go back to Chang'an, so he naturally wants to take her with him.

In fact, they went down on the 14th of July.

Enter from the west of the city, cross the west market of Chang'an, and then go south along Suzaku Avenue to return to the Tang Mansion. Every time Tang Ying set foot on this grand ancient city, his heart inevitably fluctuated, but today he felt a little different.

Tang Chang'an City is shaped like a chessboard, composed of three parts: the Kuo City, the Palace City, and the Imperial City, and each square in the city has a unified specification. The east and west squares of Suzaku Street are 325 steps long from north to south, and the east and west squares of the imperial city and Miyagi are 650 steps wide each, which is neat and uniform. There are more than 100 districts and two cities in the east and west, which are divided by 25 streets in the city.

At that time, there were more than one million residents in Chang'an. Since 631 A.D., after Taizong conquered the Eastern Turks, he settled the Turkic nobles to live in Chang'an. After that, people of various ethnic groups from the Western Regions came one after another, plus Persian and Arab merchants, Indian monks, Japanese and Silla students and scholars, entertainers from all over Southeast Asia, Kunlun Nu from Africa, and the "Hu people" in Chang'an, these foreign people exceeded 100,000 people.

As a result, the eastern and western cities became a center of trade and cultural exchanges between China and the West at that time. In the past, there was a constant shouting and selling, and it was extremely prosperous.

However, on the 14th of July, many shops are closed, and the market is full of merchants selling sacrificial supplies. Because July 15 is the mid-year festival of Taoism and the Bon festival of Buddhism. It is the rumored day when the ghost door is opened, the Taoist church builds Jiao to pray and worship the ancestors, and the Buddhist will open the altar to purify the souls of the dead.

It turns out that today's strange feeling comes from the deserted bazaar and the obvious increase in the number of Taoist priests and monks. Li Chunfeng took Tang Ying and rushed back to the Tang Mansion without delaying for a moment.

When I got home, I naturally greeted my relatives and friends, worshiped my ancestors, and had a lunch. Mrs. Tang naturally still dotes on her daughter, but Lord Tang obviously smirked. After the meal, Lord Tang helped his wife to rest, and Tang Ying motioned to Li Chunfeng to take her back to the mountain quickly, but he had no intention of taking her away.

She searched with the pitiful eyes of all the spirits, and he told the truth in embarrassment: "Uncle still has some important things to do in the evening, can I come and pick you up tomorrow morning?" Wait until I tell your father......"

Tang Ying was very interested in Li Chunfeng's whereabouts, and seeing that he refused to take him there, his eyes turned to his heart, "Uncle, don't bother." I'll say it myself. ”

He looked at the sky, "It's okay, Uncle has to arrange it while it is dawn, so he will leave first." ”

After he left, Tang Ying hurriedly found Master Tang and said that he would go back to the mountains with Li Chunfeng, and he would not leave for fear of disturbing his mother's rest. Lord Tang didn't have the slightest suspicion or retention, just gave a few empty words, and let her go without thinking about letting a servant follow.

It was the beginning of autumn and the sun wasn't setting so quickly. However, today's sun is more like a veil, and the sunlight is cool.

Tang Ying slipped out of the Tang Mansion and wanted to chase after him in stride, but he didn't expect Li Chunfeng to go far, but to draw a picture on the archway with a brush dipped in some liquid.

At this time, the people were busy worshipping their ancestors at home, and there was almost no one on the street, Tang Ying was afraid that he would find out, so he had to hide in the shadow of the tree and follow from afar.

I don't know if he suddenly fell in love with this kind of artistic creation, and almost every pillar of the torii on the side of Suzaku Avenue that runs from north to south is written. Tang Ying just kept following, and his legs and stomachs were a little tendoned until it was dark.

After Li Chunfeng finished painting, he easily jumped to the top of a restaurant in the center of Chang'an, sat cross-legged, and rested. Seeing this, Tang Ying also found a stone pier on the side of the road to sit down, but his eyes didn't dare to relax and stare at him.

Unexpectedly, her eyes were nervous and she was very easy to get tired, and after a while, she hugged her knees and dozed off.

I don't know how long she rested, but the movement of her chest woke her up. She rubbed her eyes and found that the sky was already dark, and the white paper lanterns were lit up under the eaves on both sides of the street.

I took out the thing that vibrated in my arms, and it turned out to be the compass I had brought from modern times. This time, the hands didn't turn in one circle, just oscillated back and forth between zero and thirty degrees.

I don't know what counterfeit and shoddy products the boss bought. Tang Ying muttered quietly and raised his eyes to find Li Chunfeng on the roof.

Depend on! The house was empty, and the people were long gone. Tang Ying panicked, she was not familiar with Chang'an City, this architectural style that was similar horizontally and vertically, it was impossible to find someone. So, in frustration, he stomped his feet and prepared to walk home along Suzaku Street.

Bang, bang. Before he left, he saw an ox cart coming towards him. I didn't see anyone rushing there, but the oxen walked slowly on their own, and there was a tattered carriage on the car, and there was a soft singing sound from inside.

Tang Ying shrank on the side of the road and pricked up his ears to listen, it turned out to be like a woman singing a lullaby. She watched with wide eyes as the ox cart passed by her, but she didn't expect it to stop in front of her. A plain hand with lead-gray nails lifted the curtain from the inside, revealing half of his veiled face: "Little lady can see my child? ”

Her voice was thin and cold, making Tang Ying instinctively hide backwards. The woman chuckled when she saw that Tang Ying didn't react, "Yo, you can't find a home, can you?" Come, don't be afraid, child, mom loves you. ”

Tang Ying was vigilant and hid even further.

The woman in the car seemed to be angry, and her voice became low and hoarse, "You disobedient child, come to my arms quickly." Hurry up! ”

Tang Ying's consciousness was very clear, she knew that what was waiting for her must be dangerous, but her body was not controlled, and she walked towards the ox cart stiffly.

At this time, by the miserable white light of the white lantern, she saw that the bull's eyes of the cart were white, the corners of his mouth were rotten, and his whole body was full of rancid stench. Frightened, she subconsciously screamed. But she obviously shouted Li Chunfeng, but her voice turned into a whimper.

The woman's head was exposed, and Tang Ying felt that her veil was not the same as the masked things of the female dependents she usually saw on the street, it was more impermeable, and it looked even more gloomy. Like ...... The ...... worn by the dead Hades.

The woman lifted her veil with both hands, revealing her scarlet mouth, a miserable white face, and a pair of eyes that were black even the whites of her eyes.

No way? Did you just hit a ghost like this? Oh, my God! Could it be that in ancient times, there was really such a strange and chaotic shijie? Isn't it superstition that the textbook says ghosts or something? What's going on with this, this, and all this stuff in front of you?
