Chapter 80: The East Building

"The house in front of you in the area of the pine tree hill is the house of a big man who founded the Tang Dynasty, does Liu Wenjing, the Duke of Lu, know? It's just that this Duke of Lu was so happy that he finally committed a big crime and angered Emperor Gaozu, and the whole family was beheaded, the nine clans were connected, and the chickens and dogs were not left. ”

The old man even gestured with spitting, and his expression was realistic, and he said it with relish.

After that, the mansion was sold to a merchant from Luoyang to live in, and at first it was fine, but soon after, the merchant's family began to change, his parents died violently, and his children also fell ill. Within five years, seven or eight of his relatives had died, and finally the merchant had gone mad. At that time, there were rumors that the house was haunted, and there was more than one, it was the ghosts of hundreds of Liu Wenjing's family who were all making trouble in the house,"

Wang Yuan's scalp was numb when he heard this, and Li Xin'er next to him was so frightened that he tightly held Gongsun Lan's arm and turned pale.

Since then, no one dared to live in this house anymore, and all the remaining members of the merchant's family moved out of the house, and the house could not be sold, and no one dared to live in it all day long. There are also people who don't believe in evil and want to keep the house for themselves, and there is no news after a few days of living in. The government also photographed dozens of men looking for people together, and when they entered the house, they were dizzy and couldn't figure out the direction, if they hadn't evacuated in time, they would have to fold inside. ”

Wang Yuan frowned and said, "Such an evil sect? It's all rumors. ”

The old man glared and said, "What's the matter, old man, I can't talk nonsense?" Didn't you see that there are yellow paper talismans hanging at the mouth of this alley? Didn't you see those things when you walked in the alley to the south? ”

Wang Yuan followed the reverse direction of his finger and saw that the walls of the alley were inlaid with copper mirrors, and there were more than a dozen Taoist talismans of yellow silk cinnabar paintings hanging on the forks of the trees at the entrance of the alley, which he hadn't noticed at all just now.

Li Xin'er said in a low voice: "There are also in the alley in the south, I saw it, but I didn't care, and I didn't ask, it should be the folk customs of this fang." ”

"That's not it, it's for the safety of the house, in the past few years, many people have died in the middle of the day, and at night it is even more ghostly, no one dares to go to the murderous house again, you are good, swaggering from that side. This descendant, you better stay away from me, don't make sure that you already have stolen goods, a few of you can leave quickly. ”

The old man chattered for a long time, and the three of them probably understood what was going on, and Wang Yuan asked before leaving: "But I don't know if the owner of this house is still there?" I'd like to see it. ”

The old man opened his mouth and stammered, looking at Wang Yuan as if he had seen a ghost: "You are not afraid, you still want to listen to some details?" ”

Wang Yuan smiled: "It's just a curiosity to ask." ”

The old man turned around and closed the door, poked his head out of the wall for a long time, and said: "The merchant's descendants live in the front street and open a Chen Ji noodle shop, but if you ask him about the evil ghosts of his ancestors, I am afraid that he will be scolded by him." ”

Wang Yuan arched his hand and said, "Thank you, old man." ”

The three of them walked from the alley to the main street, and Li Xin'er breathed a sigh of relief and complained: "I knew that it was such an evil door, so we wouldn't have taken a shortcut from there." ”

Wang Yuan smiled: "Do you believe in ghosts? ”

Li Xin'er nodded and said, "I believe it." ”

Gongsun Lan frowned and said, "These things are not clear, maybe there are or may not be, but why are you so interested in this matter?" ”

Wang Yuan said: "I don't believe in such nonsense, I'm wondering if I can buy this place, it's very suitable for us to live in, and it won't be very expensive." ”

Gongsun Lan and Li Xin'er looked at Wang Yuan blankly, with a look of horror on their faces.

……

In the early afternoon, the three of them arrived at Changle Fang in the drizzle.

Although Yang Zhao told him that Zuixianlou was in Changle Fang, even Gongsun Lan and Li Xin'er, who were familiar with Chang'an City, did not know the specific location of Zuixianlou, so after entering Changle Fang, Wang Yuan could only find someone to ask for directions.

However, after asking for directions, several people from the workshop were at a loss and didn't know where the Drunken Immortal Building was, so they asked more than a dozen of them, and only then did a richly dressed middle-aged man look at Wang Yuan and the others vigilantly for a long time before pointing out the direction of the Drunken Immortal Building. The three of them followed the direction he pointed out to the door of the Drunken Immortal Tower, but they were a little surprised and confused when they arrived at the door.

Even if there is no place to live in the east and west cities, it is generally most suitable to be located on the main street of the cross, because it is the place where people come and go. But this drunken fairy building is not located on the main street, but is located in a secluded alley in the northwest corner of Changle Fang, and its gatehouse is very ordinary, not like a big restaurant, but like an ordinary courtyard.

Wang Yuan didn't think much about it, maybe Yang Zhao deliberately wanted to speak here, and what he liked was that this place was hidden and not noticeable, which was also in line with the situation when the two met.

There were two young men standing on the porch, and when Wang Yuan and the other three appeared in front of the door, a young man with a beautiful face glanced at Wang Yuan a few times, and immediately stepped forward and bowed: "Dare to ask the guest officer is Wang Yuan's prince?" ”

Wang Yuan was surprised: "How do you know it's me?" ”

The young man said: "My master has the appearance of the prince who commanded him, and the villain is specially here to greet him." ”

"Who is the master of your house?" Wang Yuan asked with some vigilance.

The young man said: "My master is Duzhilang Yang Zhao, wasn't my master invited to come?" ”

Wang Yuan said with a smile: "I see, Yang Duzhilang has a heart." ”

The young man arched his hand here and said: "Although the villain is invited, the three of them can take off their clothes and hats, and there is a corridor connecting the building into the building, so they don't need to wear this thing." ”

Wang Yuan agreed with a smile, and went to the coat and hat with Gongsun Lan and Li Xin'er to follow the young man into the porch; Behind the porch, there are two corridors connecting the east and west, and the trend is to zigzag back along the courtyard wall, and it is natural to see these corridors when standing at the door.

The three of them followed the young man to the cloister on the left, this cloister is very beautiful, the lower side is laid with wooden planks, the top is covered with glazed tiles, and the octagonal palace lamp with exquisite shape is hung on the top of the head every dozen steps, and the yellow silk spikes below dance lightly with the wind, which looks luxurious and magnificent.

The promenade is surrounded by tall trees, most of which are evergreen in all seasons such as camphor trees and boxwoods, and occasionally a few giant willows are dotted in between, but they are also green buds like mist, and the thin branches are graceful, showing the spring color. The leaves of these trees are green and eye-catching under the rain, fresh and lovely.

Seeing such a style, Wang Yuan's impression of the Drunken Immortal Building began to change in his heart, and the feeling of looking outside the door and coming in was completely different, obviously the courtyard was carefully arranged and dressed, and it was a particularly elegant place.

"The hanging lamp is the special octagonal lady flower and bird lamp in the palace, the owner of this drunken fairy building is not bad, non-royal relatives dare not do this, Shangyuan Festival is allowed by the palace, and the people are allowed to hang such lanterns." Gongsun Lan looked vigilant and whispered beside Wang Yuan.

Li Xin'er said in a low voice: "Erlang, master, it seems that we should be careful, this restaurant is not ordinary." ”

Gongsun Lan nodded slightly, although Wang Yuan was surprised in his heart, but he didn't feel that this was a threat, since he had come as promised, if there was any disadvantage, he had already entered the courtyard of this restaurant, and it was too late to say anything. Besides, the identity of the owner of the restaurant has nothing to do with this meeting, Yang Zhao chose this place, probably part of it is to show off, obviously this drunken immortal building is not for ordinary diners to come in.

The corridor in front of the turn, around the side of a small rockery, suddenly appeared in front of a two-story exquisite building, the corridor leads to the door of the small building on the flat ground paved with blue bricks, the young man who led the way stopped, and said with a smile: "The villain can only get here, my master is waiting in the front building, and the three of them move by themselves." ”

Wang Yuan arched his hand and said, "I'm tired." ”

The young man bowed back, turned his head and walked along the corridor towards the road, and the three of them stood in the middle of the corridor, looking at the small golden building hidden in the green trees in front of them, and there was a plaque on the door with the words 'West Building' written on it.

"It seems a little weird. How can it be quiet? Isn't this a restaurant? How there are no guests. Li Xin'er whispered nervously.

Wang Yuan said with a smile: "Since you have come and don't care so much, let's go." ”

Gongsun Lan nodded and said, "What I said is, I can't care so much, let's go." ”

The three of them quickly walked down the steps of the corridor to the open space in front of the building, and before they could stand firmly, they suddenly heard the sound of laughter coming from the building, and a tall man in brocade robe strode from behind the screen of the door of the building.

"Wang Gongzi, you are here, I have drunk a pot of tea, and I thought that Wang Gongzi would not come today."
