Chapter 31: Tiesheng is sober
He worked as a helper in the Drunken Immortal Building for more than twenty days, and sometimes he felt that he was extremely weak, and sometimes he felt that he was infinitely strong.
When he went insane, he stole the clothes of the female guests and collected them, and ate raw vegetables and live chickens, and he liked to drink blood. Every time I regain my senses, I will be annoyed and complain about myself, feeling that I am sick and not a normal person.
In the end, the owner of the Drunken Immortal Mansion drove him away, he knew that he had become like this after being bitten by a poisonous bat, but he didn't have enough money to seek a doctor.
"When I was driven away by the owner of the Drunken Immortal Building, I took the silver and prepared to go back to Taoyuan Town, but that day, I got into a carriage, and the carriage overturned on the outskirts of the imperial capital, and I fainted, and when I woke up, I was locked in a room that did not see the light of day, I vaguely remember that there were many people in that room, there were more than a dozen people, we were all lying on our own beds, and there was a group of people in black who fed us medicinal juice every day......" Tie Sheng held his head, about the days of that time, he only remembered some sporadic fragments.
"Every once in a while, they will take away a group of people, and send in a group of people, more than a month ago, I was also taken away, they stuffed us into a boat, and then the boat sank, I had a big life, lying on a driftwood and floated to the shore, at that time I was in a trance, over many mountains, the emperor lived up to his wishes, I walked for more than ten days, and actually walked to Peach Blossom Mountain! At that time, I was mentally normal and sometimes abnormal, I wanted to go to my grandfather and Peach, but I was afraid that I would hurt them, and I was afraid that my appearance would be terrifying, so I went out at night and had to hide in the cave of Peach Blossom Mountain. β
Tie Sheng recalls those painful days, when he was like a lonely ghost, wandering around.
"One night a few days ago, I was so hungry that I was afraid that my appearance would scare others, so I made a simple hat with a shelf and a white cloth and hung it on my head, I came to Taoyuan Town, I wanted to find a live chicken and duck to eat, when I saw a corpse on the side of the road, the corpse was separated, I just wanted to pick up the head to fill my stomach, how did I know that I was found on the road, I was stunned for a while, the man seemed to be scared away by me, after scaring him away, I wrapped my head, climbed to the tree, sat on the tree and bit the head a few times, found that it was very difficult to eatβ¦β¦β
Tie Sheng looked at the few people around him at a loss, for fear that others would look at him strangely, he quickly lowered his head and muttered, "I know...... You must think I'm a freak, but I couldn't control myself at all, I ......"
Li Shenlong patted Tie Sheng's shoulder and said, "Tie Sheng! Don't worry, you are our good brother no matter what, I know you can't help yourself, it turns out that on the night of the Guiyuan Festival, the 'ghost' I saw was you! β
Dugu Shaobai also understood why Wang Daqiang's head was on a branch, and two holes were bitten on his face, it turned out that it was really Tie Sheng's doing, but where was Tie Sheng caught before?
"Tiesheng, do you know where you were being held?"
Tie Sheng shook his head: "I don't know, besides, I always feel that it didn't take long for me to wake up, I only knew that I had been missing for five years after listening to you, otherwise, I thought it would be less than a year." I woke up and lay in bed all day long, I couldn't speak, but I could open my eyes and look at the people in the room, there were a dozen people like me lying in the room, they were also fed medicine every day, until two months ago, we could walk, we could understand what others were saying, but we couldn't speak, they could only scream, they were in the same trance as me, if you hadn't found me, I'm afraid, I wouldn't be able to speak now. β
Lu Lingxue gave Tie Sheng the Antidote Pill and the Soul Rejuvenation Pill, so she suppressed the toxins in his body and allowed him to regain his senses.
Tie Sheng said sincerely, looking at his appearance doesn't look fake, and Dugu Shaobai thought to himself, could it be that he had amnesia, so he couldn't remember the events of the middle four years?
Dugu Shaobai asked, "Tie Sheng, do you remember where you passed on your way back to Peach Blossom Mountain?"
Tie Sheng thought for a moment and said, "I was in a trance, I only remember that all the roads I walked were mountain roads, and I remember that there was a mountain in them...... Called...... It's called Splendid Peak, there is a village under the mountain, I was sane at that time, in order not to be discovered, I walked from the dense forest, walked for three or four days, and arrived at Peach Blossom Mountain, I don't remember what the name of the other mountains is. β
"Splendid Peak?" Dugu Shaobai's eyebrows frowned, Jinxiu Peak is on the outskirts of Beiyang City, you can cross the Jinxiu Mountain Range from Jinxiu Peak to the vicinity of Peach Blossom Mountain, Tie Sheng walks all the mountain roads, so where will his starting point be?
There are ten cities in the Celestial Empire, the Imperial Capital City, Beiyang City, Jiangnan City, Baiyue City, Baihua City, Jinnan City, Lingchuan City, Border City, Hanyuan City and Victoria City, the east and west of the Splendid Peak are all mountains, the Splendid Mountains in the east run through Beiyang City and the Imperial Capital City, the Kunshan Mountains in the west run through Baiyue City and Baihua City, the Tiannan Mountains in the south run through Jiangnan City and Jinnan City, and the Splendid Peak is just the intersection of these mountains.
Tie Sheng walked from Splendid Peak to Peach Blossom Mountain, and he should not be imprisoned in the Imperial Capital City, and the remaining five cities may be where Tie Sheng was imprisoned. He escaped because of the shipwreck, but in the past two months, he has not heard of any shipwrecks in rivers or lakes and seas, and it seems that it will take some effort to get to the bottom of it.
After Tie Sheng took Lu Lingxue's medicine, he was already able to eat cooked food normally, he ate several buns in one go, and Li Shenlong and Su Hang generously gave him their share.
Lu Lingxue put another bowl of black medicine beside Tie Sheng: "After drinking the medicine later, you can soak in a medicinal bath first, which can help your skin regain its blood color." β
Tie Sheng's mouth was stuffed with buns, and he said vaguely: "Oh, thank you, Miss Lu." β
At night, a golden pigeon flew to Qingliang Courtyard, and Dugu Shaobai lightly jumped and grabbed the golden pigeon, which was a carrier pigeon used by the imperial court.
Shangguan Yutang asked, "Big brother, is there something wrong with the Protector Villa?" β
Dugu Shaobai put away the flying pigeon and said: "Well, Hongyi and the four princes are ready to return to the imperial capital, and it will be the emperor's fiftieth birthday in five days, and they rushed back to coincide with the emperor's birthday banquet." β
"So, then, the drought in the border city has been solved?"
The border city and Hanyuan city are the two most barren cities in the Celestial Empire, one is perennial drought and the other is perennial flood, and the two cities are only separated by a Yongle River, but the climate is diametrically opposed.
Dugu Shaobai nodded: "The Ministry of Industry will build a river in the border city to introduce the water in the Hanyuan City reservoir into the border city." β
Not far from Qingliang Courtyard, Su Shanao was standing on the big tree and looking down, his eyebrows furrowed, Dugu Shaobai and Shangguan Yutang, the two protectors of the Dharma were in Qingliang Courtyard, it seemed that they had a lot to do with Li Shenlong, this Li Shenlong couldn't stay too long!
"Ah...... Ahh
After he got dressed, as soon as he went out, he saw Tie Sheng, who had already changed into Li Shenlong's clothes at this moment, except that his skin was slightly white, he was no different from ordinary people.
