Chapter 444: The Return of Vitality

After a short break in the Mid-Autumn Festival, Meng Shichen plunged headlong into the accumulated commissions. At www.biquge.info the same time, on the other side of the mountain, a man in a simple cloth shirt walked into Zhaozhou City with a jar of chrysanthemum wine given by a farmer.

At this time, Meng Shichen, who was rarely idle, was holding a bunch of grapes lazily leaning on the recliner in the yard to bask in the sun.

Lihua and Zhang Yifeng became her hard labor, one was assigned the task of cleaning the outside, and the other was cleaning the house. I did this kind of cleaning before I left the painting, so it was very easy, but Zhang Yifeng kept complaining like a lady.

"Meng Shichen, if you call your contract spirit like this, you will be thundered by the sky." Zhang Yifeng covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief, and ran over with a disgraced face.

She turned her head with the grapes, looked at Zhang Yifeng who was about to be attacked by dust and cobwebs in astonishment, swallowed the grapes in her mouth and said, "Huh? Is there such a dirty place in my house? Why don't I remember it myself? ”

"It's the warehouse you used to collect the broken jars! It was overgrown with rats, the cupboards had been bitten, and there was a pile of hay all over the place...... They have made nests for rats, all of them have a musty smell and ......dust everywhere," Zhang Yifeng pulled the spider silk on his head and body in disgust.

Meng Shichen bounced up from the chair suddenly, and stuffed the grapes in his hand to Zhang Yifeng: "This is for you, I'll go and see the warehouse." ”

How could she have forgotten that it was used to collect antiques and store the grass she had brought from the Fu Grass Garden when she had left the Lingshan Sect. Since she left the Lingshan Sect, the rune paper has been used less and less, and she originally thought that she would summon a few contract spirits to do it together, but she didn't expect to forget it.

She wasn't to blame for that, the warehouse was underneath, a cellar.

And I had to go in from the firewood room, and when I first decided to put these things in them, it was all because they were fresh, and then I forgot them all after a long time. I didn't expect it to become a rat's nest...... I hate rats the most!

Meng Shichen found a cloth towel to put on his head, and used a towel as a mask before walking down the cellar from the corner of the firewood room.

"Ahh Meng Shichen raised his forehead, Zhang Yifeng is here to clean or fight? She picked up the broom again and sprinkled it with water before she began to sweep. Rummaging through several cabinets, Meng Shichen was finally puzzled.

It's only been two years since she's moved here, so how did she think about the dust and cobwebs that had accumulated over the decades?

Don't...... Someone deliberately arranged? She looked at a spot on the wall that had not been cleaned, but only a small layer of ash. The cold wind rushed from the soles of the feet and then poured into the limbs.

After a while, she smiled nervously: "Who is so boring, to get so much dust and cobwebs, and a swarm of rats, to set up a room here that has accumulated dust for decades?" ”

Her eyes swept over the cabinets, the pure black four-corner gold-inlaid cabinets, she never seemed to have them?

Could it be that someone broke in and laid it all out just to hide a few cabinets? Thought that putting such a thick layer of dust, vivid spider silk, and a whole bunch of rats would stop her from cleaning?

The point is that everything else is easy to understand, and it seems that some special abilities are needed to make the spider silk so naturally arranged......

"Undead?" Meng Shichen shook his head, "Won't it?" With these masters here, what kind of powerful undead do you need to sneak in and do these things without knowing it? She carefully used her soul blade to slice the lock on one of the black wooden boxes.

Anyway, you can guess the general purpose by opening it and looking at it, right? She held the soul blade in one hand and the talisman in the other, and cautiously inserted the blade into the gap in the box.

"Meng Shichen, Li Shangying is here. I'm clamoring for you! Zhang Yifeng suddenly appeared behind Meng Shichen, almost scaring her to the point of being angry. She turned her head to glance at him, put away her soul blade and stood up.

Zhang Yifeng was obviously also frightened by her performance, and stretched his neck to look at the black box: "What are you doing?" ”

"Nothing. You go clean up somewhere else, it's too difficult to deal with here, leave it alone for now. Meng Shichen put the talisman away, clapped his hands and left. Zhang Yifeng is naturally amnesty, and it is too late to be happy.

"You...... What were you doing? Li Shangying saw Meng Shichen covered in dust, and almost didn't drop the wine jar in his hand to the ground.

She coughed lightly and wiped her face with a brocade handkerchief: "Clean the house." You wait for me to change my clothes. Meng Shichen went, took a bath carefully, and asked Lihua to help comb a beautiful bun, and then left the boudoir.

Then, it was dark......

"I've kept you waiting." She simply asked Zhang Yifeng to go to the restaurant to call a table of dishes to bring over, and finished eating by the way. What I drank was the jar of wine that Li Shangying brought. Looking at his energetic appearance and clear eyes, Meng Shichen knew that the knot in his heart should be untied.

Sure enough, after two glasses of wine, Li Shangying opened the conversation.

"Although it was not the most tragic thing that you threw off the carriage that day, it was the most embarrassing thing for me to grow so big. But what I didn't expect was that the people in the village were very kind and they accepted me......"

Li Shangying has a lot of words and talks endlessly. His eyes sparkled with a touching light, as if he had discovered a new world.

Meng Shichen listened quietly, secretly happy for him in his heart. Sometimes, a different way of living is a whole new world. The chat lasted until late, and even Lihua and Zhang Yifeng ran to sleep because they were too drunk, but Li Shangying was still in high spirits.

"Shichen, it's so good to meet you. It was great that you threw me out of the carriage that day...... When I was in the village, I was in harmony with everyone, but I also unconsciously thought about what the teacher had said. And, I figured it out too. ”

He suddenly looked at Meng Shichen seriously, and even took his body towards her, and then there was a kiss as light as a feather.

Meng Shichen was immediately stunned, and when he came back to his senses, Li Shangying had already retreated.

He poured himself a glass of wine again, and said seriously: "I have decided to disband the New Witch Sect and give the Xuanzhi Sect to Song Yu to take charge. Then go to the imperial court to fulfill my revenge. It is said that Emperor Song is a king with a heart, let me see his mind! ”

Meng Shichen blushed, but he didn't know how to deal with it.

At the age of eighteen, her heart was beating fast, but she remembered in a trance that Li Congqian in history had really been an official in the Northern Song Dynasty for a long time, and his political achievements were not bad. It turns out that everything is moving slowly.

"Tomorrow I will leave for Wushan to completely solve the matter of the new Wumen. Shi Chen, when I come back, I want you to embark on this new smooth road with me...... I'll just say yes to you, and you can't go back. ”

Someone is playing a scoundrel by drinking.

The next day, Li Shangying got up early and left Zhaozhou. Meng Shichen woke up with a hangover, rubbed his aching forehead and looked at what he had writtenβ€”let's call it a confession.

It was he who was found by Bailiqi, an "old minister", and then arranged a stand-in, and then had a new identity as the son of Li Dao, a salt official lurking in the court. Begin to prepare for the past of various restoration plans.
