328, drunk Fangting, the origin of the story of Zhai
Cheng Tianle also replied in the Yuan Shen: "I have been in the picture scroll for a long time, and of course my hair is also very long. There is a natural reason why I called you here today, so let's move forward first. ”
Zi Hao, who was puzzled, walked forward along Pingjiang Road with Cheng Tianle, and looked at Cheng Tianle curiously and said secretly: "That picture scroll world is really magical, if I don't know, I can't believe that only ten days have passed, and you have become like this." …… Well, you look very handsome and stylish, walking here like a big leader coming to inspect, almost more handsome than me! ”
In just ten days, Cheng Tianle's appearance has not changed, or I can't tell what kind of changes have occurred. His eyes were clearer and calmer, as if he could see this flashy crowd more deeply; There is still that trademark smile on his face, but there is a faint luster like jade, and his facial features have not changed, but his temperament is completely different. Walking in the crowd seems to stand out from the crowd, Cheng Tianle is no longer the kind of person who can't be found in the pile of people, no wonder Zi Hao sighs.
Cheng Tianle interrupted him and said: "Do you remember three years ago, when you were sealed in my Yuan Shen and had not yet appeared, you had a treat, I accompanied Wu Yanqing to eat here, and it was this alley that I walked." ”
While speaking, they had come to the "front of the Weidao Temple" and turned right into this ancient alley. Zi Hao replied: "Remember, I was very impressed, it was really an eye-opener that day!" …… It's just that later you drank too much, and even I was confused with me, and we were all shallow in cultivation at that time. ”
Cheng Tianle: "Then do you remember what we all said when we first stepped into this alley?" ”
Zi Hao: "Let me think about it. Yes, I felt that there was a mana fluctuation here! He had a good memory, retelling a conversation between the two of them in the Genshin when he first walked through this place three years ago.
……
On that day three years ago, when I had just turned into the alley, I heard the voice of the "mouse" whisper in my head: "Something is not right, there is a mana change here!" ”
Cheng Tianle: "What mana change?" ”
"Mouse": "That's not exact. It may be that the place is special, it may be that there is some formation, or it may be that someone is casting a spell. What's so strange about the outside world? Do you remember the last time you were at Xuan Miaoguan? I almost fainted with you. ”
Cheng Tianle: "Or do you know more than me, so what should I do?" ”
"Mouse": "With so many people coming and going on the street, aren't they all okay?" Don't go and investigate. Pay attention to the restraint of your spirit, as long as you don't touch anything, you will naturally be fine. Even if there is really a master casting spells, as long as you don't break it, people won't care about you. ”
Cheng Tianle: "If there is really a master casting spells, I am very interested in it, and I want to see it." ”
"Mouse": "What's there to be curious about?" When you become a master in the future, these things will be nothing. Forgot what I said? Now that you have not yet achieved cultivation, you must first learn to hide your traces from the crowd so that no one can discover your secrets. Since something is wrong here. I'll have to be careful, I can't talk to you anymore for a while. ”
……
Thinking that Cheng Tianle and Zi Hao had not yet cultivated, they only felt that there had been subtle changes in mana here, but they didn't know what was going on, and they carefully restrained their aura and did not touch it. Not to mention going to find out. Now that the old matter is brought up again, Zi Hao asked in surprise: "Have you found out what happened that day?" After three years, there is still no trace here, and now my spiritual sense is much stronger than it was at the beginning, but I have found nothing. ”
Cheng Tianle replied: "If there is no trace, it is discovered, and then go forward." There are even more surprising ones. As they spoke, they walked past the gate of the quaint old house. The central door of the house was closed, but there was a door on the right side of the courtyard wall, and a sign for the clubhouse hung next to it. Cheng Tianle stopped and asked, "Zi Hao, did you eat that meal here last time?" ”
Zi Hao shook his head and said, "No! I remember very clearly, there is a clubhouse around the corner in front, and the door face is almost identical, but there is no ear door on the courtyard wall next to it, and you drank too much there. At the time, I thought it was strange, how could there be two such high-end clubs in a small alley, and the doors were exactly the same, so I was not afraid that the guests would go wrong? ”
Cheng Tianle: "I remember very clearly, when I first walked through the door of this house, it was like passing through some invisible barrier and stepping into another world, but I can look at both sides, it is still the original alley. When I look back on it now, I feel a little familiar, like the feeling of entering the world of painting for the first time. It's just that the feeling of walking by at that time was very trance-like, far less real than in the world of the painting, like stepping into some kind of strange fantasy. And the scene in the fantasy realm coincides with this alley, and with our cultivation at that time, we can't tell it apart at all. ”
Zi Hao said in disbelief: "Are you saying that when we first walked through this gate, all we saw behind us were illusions?" How can there be such a bizarre thing! ”
Cheng Tianle: "Just keep moving forward, I'm afraid the reality is more bizarre than you imagined!" ”
Walked forward more than 100 meters along the winding alley, and when Cheng Tianle stood still, in front of him was the wall inlaid with the sign of "Suzhou City Cultural Relics Protection Unit" and the dilapidated relics of Weidao Temple. Zi Hao was fixed there, and the whole person seemed to be petrified, because in his memory, this should have been the club where Cheng Tianle accompanied Wu Yanqing to the banquet three years ago.
After a long time, Zi Hao let out a sigh of relief, his expression seemed to be awakened from a deep sleep, and he turned his head and asked Cheng Tianle: "Have you read "Liao Zhai"? Do you remember that there is a story called 'Taoist priest' in it, which is almost our experience. ”
Cheng Tianle shook his head and said: "I really haven't read some books as carefully as you, the one that impresses me the most about the story of Liaozhai is the 'Laoshan Taoist', or did I read it when I was a child, and what is the story of the 'Taoist'?" ”
In the third volume of "Strange Tales from Liao Zhai", there is a story called "Taoist Priest". Han Sheng, a child of the family, is hospitable, and Xu Sheng in the same village often drinks at the table. One day, a soldier knocked on the bowl outside the door, and he didn't want to give money or rice, and he didn't leave. Han Sheng went out to ask when he heard the sound, but the Taoist priest wanted to drink, so he summoned him to the banquet to drink together. From then on, this Taoist priest came uninvited whenever Han Sheng held a banquet at home. The Taoist priest claimed to live in a dilapidated and abandoned Taoist temple on the east side of the village, but no one had seen him before.
The Taoist priest came so many times that Xu Sheng couldn't see it, and one day when he was drinking, he took the opportunity to laugh and said, "The Taoist chief has been a guest so many times, can't he invite a guest once?" The Taoist priest replied: "I have long wanted to have a treat, and tomorrow at noon, I will invite Han Sheng and you two to come to my Taoist temple, set up a banquet and entertain you, and everyone will rest as soon as you get drunk." ”
The next day, Xu Sheng and Han Sheng went together, and found that the original dilapidated and abandoned Taoist temple had been rested and renewed, with pavilions and pavilions connected with clouds, and the main hall and palace room were gorgeous and magnificent. The Taoist priest stood in front of the door to greet the guests, and the servants next to him were lined up, and the two asked strangely what was going on, and the Taoist priest replied that it was rebuilt after he came here, and it had just been completed.
This banquet was extremely rich, the banquet was full of delicacies and delicacies in the world, and the utensils used were unimaginably precious and exquisite, even the servants who served on the side were all dressed in brocade and handsome. When the wine is drunk, there are two beauties who sing and dance to help the fun, and their dancing skills are incomparably beautiful. Later, Han Sheng and Xu Sheng drank too much and hugged the two beauties to rest. When I woke up the next day, I found myself lying in the broken view, holding the feldspar scattered on the ground in my arms. When I got up and looked around, I saw a courtyard of barren grass and two dilapidated houses, and the Taoist priest had disappeared.
After the story was told, Zi Hao frowned and said, "Isn't this what we experienced at the beginning?" The Taoist priest in that story used ** power to create illusions. When Han Sheng and Xu Sheng woke up, they were holding a stone in their arms, and you came back with a gourd that day, it was just the same. Now it seems that someone also used his magic power to transform the Wei Dao Temple into the appearance of a club, and you drank too much without knowing it. The person who casts the spell must have also read this story in "Liao Zhai". ”
Cheng Tianle: "Since you have watched "Liao Zhai", you still remember it so clearly, and you also know that I came back with a gourd, why didn't you say it earlier?" ”
Zi Hao shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands and said, "I didn't expect it, none of us saw through the illusion here." Today you found out that something was wrong, I just woke up from a dream, and my reaction is still faster than yours! ”
Cheng Tianle frowned and said: "The most important question now is not what "Liao Zhai" is, but who cast the spell, definitely not Wu Yanqing, I know his cultivation very well, he doesn't have such a great ability now, and it was impossible to ...... at that time" Speaking of this, both of them called out a name at the same time: "Flower fat!" ”
According to Hua Fat, he specially chartered this club to entertain Wu Yanqing and Cheng Tianle, but this place is actually an abandoned broken Taoist temple. Either the subordinates who worked for Hua Fat met the masters in the game world, and made him a sum of money but used illusion to make this joke, or Hua Fat did it himself. Considering that Wu Yanqing, who went to the banquet at the same table, was also a big demon, his cultivation at that time was much higher than that of Cheng Tianle, and he had a personal relationship with Hua Fat for many years, the latter is more likely.
Zi Hao said puzzledly: "Boss Wu should have seen that the door was coming, and Zhang Xiaoxiao was also dancing in the back garden that day, why didn't any of them mention this matter afterwards?" This old fox, if he really did it, he would hide it deep enough! Could it be that he is also the master of a certain great sect of cultivation? This is the illusion of ** power creation, even you and I don't have this ability! You called me over today, apparently I had already checked in detail in the morning, did you find anything else?
