Chapter 374: Spring Return

Hu Guiyang hadn't slept so comfortably for a long time, last night's nap was just the first moment, and after all the living people left, he had a good night's sleep.

Sitting up and yawning, and stretching again, Hu Guiyang looked up at the entrance of the cave and said blankly, "When is it?" Why hasn't anyone come down all the time? After that, he looked at the two people who had just arrived, and did not stop for a moment, looking straight at the passage behind them.

Wang Zhi and Li Zixing were both shocked in their hearts, and suddenly felt that the wind around them was gusting, and even the two corpses lying on the ground seemed to be about to stand up.

"Hu Guiyang!" Wang Zhi screamed in shock and anger.

Hu Guiyang slowly showed a smile on his face, "The factory man has come down, was it Li Xianchang who took you down?" ”

"Don't use the word 'come down'...... Let's talk about what's going on first? What about the Prince? What about divine power? Where did the corpse come from? ”

"Just say it here? I could talk until the evening. ”

Wang Zhi shuddered and turned his head to look at Li Zixing.

Li Zixing was also stunned in his heart, "You answer one thing first, who is the one who inherits the divine power?" ”

"First me, then Gu Zhongxian, and finally a jade pendant." Hu Guiyang had no intention of lying, but he didn't take out the jade pendant either.

"When did Gu Zhongxian come in?" Wang Zhi was taken aback.

"I should have come in a long time ago, earlier than the divine servant, and I have been hiding here." Hu Guiyang yawned again, and began to feel the discomfort of curling up in the alcove to sleep.

"Where's the jade pendant? Who took it? Li Zixing asked.

"You have to ask He Sanchen and Wen Kongyin about this."

"Sure enough, it was her. Go out first, no one is allowed to touch or move anything here. Li Zi had no doubts.

There was a rope hanging down from the top of his head, and Zhang Yi said on it: "The captain dragged you up." ”

"This is Prince Dan? Weak like this......" Hu Guiyang said in surprise, and then smiled at Li Zixing: "Li Xianchang hasn't changed at all, you go first?" ”

"You go first." Li Zi Province wants to check in the cave.

Hu Guiyang was not polite, wrapped the rope around his waist, shook it twice, and the captain above slowly pulled it up.

Seeing him be the first to come up, the people on the altar were startled, and no one spoke.

Hu Guiyang bowed his hand to everyone, "Thank you." The factory and Li Xianchang are still below. ”

The lieutenants hurriedly lowered the ropes again.

Hu Guiyang greeted Prince Dan and said with a smile: "Prince Dan, I didn't expect you to be really willing to give up your divine power." ”

"My name is Zhang Yi, and I ...... Alas, I wanted to replace the prince with you, one to save the prince's life, and the other to ......"

"The second is to destroy the ritual and retain your divine power."

"As long as I stay a little, I'll be satisfied, who would have thought that you would suck faster than the prince." Zhang Yi let out a long sigh, missing the arrogant and unruly Prince Dan, "What about the prince?" ”

"I was taken away by my friend, I should have come out, didn't you see it?"

Zhang Yi shook his head, "We fainted for a while...... Odd. ”

"What about Your Majesty?" Hu Guiyang asked in a very low voice.

"I'm back in the palace."

"Your Majesty is not very satisfied, is he?"

Not only was he dissatisfied, the emperor was disappointed at first, and when his strength recovered, he was furious, and left directly under the protection of Shang Ming without waiting for Li Zi to come up.

Zhang Yi shook his head helplessly, walked to the entrance of the cave and waited, and quickly turned around and said, "You can't go." ”

"Of course." Hu Guiyang smiled, looked around, and walked in front of Qiu Lianshi, "Gu Zhongxian didn't get divine power. ”

Qiu Lianshi sighed heavily, and the last bit of hope vanished.

Hu Guiyang turned to Luo, "Guan Mutong and Tang Gongzi are dead, and the other five people don't know if they live or die." ”

Luo's expression was cold, not much different from when he was an alien, but he couldn't resist the cold wind in early February, and his body trembled slightly, but he didn't have an alien demeanor, "Is it related to me?" They are not my friends, I have no friends. ”

"Nothing to do." Hu Guiyang smiled and walked in front of Li Xingtian.

Li Xingtian was lying on the ground, surrounded by people coming and going, but he refused to get up.

Hu Guiyang squatted down, "The divine power is not in He Sanchen's hands. ”

"Excuse me, stick a knife in my heart and kill me." Li Xingtian said weakly.

"I don't have a knife and I don't want to kill. What's so bad about being a mortal? ”

Li Xingtian stretched out his hand to cover his face, looking loveless.

"Hu Guiyang, come over to me." Wang Zhi came up.

Hu Guiyang walked over and said with a smile: "Is there something wrong with the factory looking for me?" ”

"From now on, you are not allowed to talk to anyone until I ask you."

Hu Guiyang nodded immediately.

After a long while, Li Zixing was also dragged up, his face was pale, and he obviously found nothing.

When it was nearly dusk, everyone left, and the Temple of Heaven was resealed, leaving only a few people to guard it, and no outsiders were allowed to enter, especially no one was allowed to approach the "Dan Cave".

Hu Guiyang, Zhang Yi and others were all sent to the West Factory and imprisoned separately.

Said to be imprisoned, there were no shackles on his body, and the furnishings in the house were better than Hu's house, Hu Guiyang ate a full meal, went to bed and went to sleep, vowing to make up for all the sleep in the past few days.

This level was a month, and Li Zixing came to "interrogate" almost every day, asking Hu Guiyang to recall all the details of the situation in the Danxue.

Hu Guiyang answered all truthfully, with one exception.

"Where's the jade pendant? You just watched it being taken away by He Sanchen and Wen Kongyin? ”

"What else can I do? I can't even beat a finger of them. ”

Li Zixing shook his head helplessly every time, "It's a failure, Hu Guiyang, it's a failure, and the ancient miracles you have in hand have been missed." ”

"I see the sun rising in the east and setting in the west every day, and I never catch it in my hands, which is also called a failure? I told you earlier, I can't stop it, I can't grab it, at most I am a bystander, they didn't kill me, it's my luck. ”

Li Zixing had never doubted this statement, nor had he searched his body, and if Hu Guiyang said that Ah Yin would give up the jade pendant, he would be puzzled, because he had never seen anyone who could give up his divine power.

The jade pendant is on Hu Guiyang's body, in the dead of night, he occasionally takes out the jade pendant and rubs it gently, he can't feel any strangeness, let alone take out the divine power inside, sometimes he even suspects that the jade pendant is actually a trick, and the divine power is still taken away by He Sanjie and Ah Yin.

After all, he had never seen anyone give up their divine powers.

When Hu Guiyang was allowed to leave the West Factory, it was March, and he returned to the capital in spring, bringing a warm breeze, as well as muddy water, and the people sitting in the sedan only felt the warm breeze, and the mood was naturally happy, and even gave birth to a little poetry, but the people who had to walk on their legs cursed the ghost weather, hoping that the spring would leave soon.

People who walk and don't care about the weather, probably only Hu Guiyang, finally regained his freedom, he felt that everything was so beautiful, even the muddy water all over the street seemed kind, his feet did not dodge, he stepped directly into it, and when he got home, his boots lost their primary color and doubled in weight.

He didn't go to Zhao's house, he went back to his home directly, the lock on the courtyard door was gone, fortunately there were no uninvited guests inside, but the thousands of taels of silver sent by Xichang before were all gone.

Hu Guiyang sat in the living room, and when it was dark, he went out of the house and buried the jade pendant in a dog hole dug out by the flatbread under the courtyard wall, filled it with soil, felt much more relaxed, and went back to the bedroom to sleep.

When he woke up in the daytime, Hu Guiyang's stomach was growling, his mouth was dry, his hands were covered with mud, and he didn't even have water at home, and he couldn't even wash himself.

"It's better to live in the West Factory." Hu Guiyang reluctantly got up, went to the kitchen to find a wooden bucket, went to the well in the alley to fetch water, washed his hands, knocked off the mud on his boots little by little, cleaned himself up, and then went out again.

Yesterday's good mood was gone, Hu Guiyang was also like everyone else, carefully avoided the muddy water, and first visited Erlang Temple, but the temple owner was changed, Fan Dajian stepped down for more than 20 days, came back once, and then his whereabouts are unknown.

At least he is still alive, Yuan Mao must be fine, Hu Guiyang put his mind at ease and went to the noodle restaurant to eat.

"Captain Hu hasn't been here for a long time, and he's gone out again?" The shopkeeper greeted him with a smile.

"It's not too far, it's in town." Hu Guiyang sat down, no need to order, the guy went to the back kitchen to ask for noodles and wine, "I have to pay on credit today, I really don't have any money." ”

"It's okay, Captain Hu is an old customer, I'll invite you today." The shopkeeper walked out of the counter, carrying a pot of wine in his hand, and sat opposite, "How many cups will I drink with Captain Hu?" ”

"I can't ask for it." Hu Guiyang was overjoyed and turned over the cup and put it in front of the two.

When the noodles came up, there were a few cold dishes, and Hu Guiyang was not polite, eating half a bowl of noodles first, and then toasting each other with the shopkeeper.

"What's new in the city lately?" Hu Guiyang asked.

"Lately?"

"For a month, although I was in the city, I was shut down, and I haven't heard anything for a long time." Hu Guiyang was interrogated every day in Xichang, but no one was willing to answer his simplest questions.

The shopkeeper thought for a while, "It's not a big deal, the most rumored is the Zhao Mansion in the Hutong of Guanyin Temple, and it is said that it is haunted and haunted, and even the imperial court is alarmed." Captain Hu has lived there, right? ”

In fact, this is the reason why the shopkeeper invited guests, Hu Guiyang felt that it was worth it, and while eating, he roughly said the matter of Zhao Zhai's strangers, but he only hid the content related to the emperor.

"So there are no ghosts?" The shopkeeper was very disappointed, and immediately smiled: "But these strangers are really weird enough, and they recite poems when they exit?" Hehe, it's a bit similar to Wen Xiucai on this street, Wen Xiucai has repeatedly failed to succeed, people are a little abnormal, and they are also exported. ”

"You haven't heard of such a big thing that happened in the Temple of Heaven a month ago?"

"Oh, I still saw that, the Temple of Heaven shines all night. Everyone said that the royal family was still rich enough to set off such a big fireworks and give porridge to 10,000 beggars. Tsk, the gods were moved, and I heard that the old lady's illness would be cured immediately. It's those who are called Hanako, and after they come out, they talk nonsense, they don't say what kind of god they are, they have to shout and drink everywhere, and there are still people who believe it at first, but they can't afford to supply it for a long time, so they simply beat it out with a stick, and it's much quieter these days. ”

The matter of the Temple of Heaven was actually covered up like this, and the Jinyi guards present did not dare to talk nonsense, the eunuch had a low status, and no one believed what he said.

Hu Guiyang got up, "It's still a good day, say goodbye." ”

"Stop talking?"

"Next time." Hu Guiyang smiled, he still sat back at home, the matter seemed to be over, but he knew that it was an illusion.

At night, he couldn't fall asleep tossing and turning, so he simply sat up, stared out the window with the quilt on, and wanted to go out several times to dig out the jade pendant, but finally held back.

There was a soft knock on the door, and someone flashed in.

"You ......"

"Well, you didn't expect me to come back?"

"Xichang let me go home just to lure you out."

"I came, but the people from the West Factory didn't come." Third Sister He laughed softly, "They didn't find me." ”

"Do you have divine powers?"

"Alas, even you don't believe me, the divine power is all in the jade pendant, and there is nothing left in the world."

"But ......"

"I've come to say goodbye to you."

"I'll go with you." Hu Guiyang said immediately.

Third Sister He came closer, "You belong here, if you leave or will you come back, why bother?" ”

Hu Guiyang was speechless, he was really not sure that he could endure the pain of fleeing, "When will you come again." ”

"No one can say for sure what will happen in the future. Promise me one thing. ”

"Okay, you say."

"Hide the jade pendant, it will be of great use in the future."

"How long later? What is it used for? Is it a heavenly ship? Hu Guiyang has a bunch of doubts that need to be solved.

"The time has not yet come." Third Sister He smiled and walked away.

Hu Guiyang stretched out his hand and didn't catch anything.
