Chapter Seventy-Six: Staying in the Mansion at Night
Chapter Seventy-Six: Living in the House of Darkness at Night
"Big brother, I'm a little tired~! I'm here today~~~" Lin Chuan snorted and said lazily.
in the bedroom
Lin Chuan woke up from pranayama and meditation, only to feel refreshed, and happily thought, "Tonight is finally done!" But after thinking about it, "Go~~ This thing is really a nuisance!" ”
In the more than a year in Liu's Mansion, Lin Chuan has never shown his skills.
Even Liu Jinyuan didn't know that Lin Chuan was actually a martial artist, and the servants in the house were only his own "second young master" and "eldest young master", all of whom were talented and gentle scholars.
"What should I do, if I go on like this, in another seven or eight years, I won't be able to learn the way of chess", Lin Chuan was puzzled in his heart, "If the fairy sword plot starts, I can't get out of Chang'an City, then it's a real tragedy!" ”。
Time flies, time flies!!
When he first came to the Fairy Sword World, he was only thirteen or fourteen years old, and now in more than a year, his body has grown rapidly, he is less than sixteen years old, but his figure is similar to that of ordinary adult men, and his mature and sophisticated temperament is even more difficult to distinguish, Lin Chuan's real age!
"Don't sit still!" Lin Chuan thought secretly.
……
At this time, it was late at night, but Lin Chuan's room was brightly lit, and Lin Chuan's figure had been busy, alone, packing up and getting ready.
Stop and go, after more than half an hour, Lin Chuan finally stopped.
I saw him sitting on the edge of the bed, and a large number of materials were stored in the system space, with all kinds of food and drink, including the 'carillon' given by the emperor, as well as the high-grade pen, ink, paper, and inkstone needed for calligraphy and painting.
In the past two years, Lin Chuan has developed the habit of playing the piano every day. The habit of practicing calligraphy and painting is not only because of interest.
Lin Chuan inadvertently discovered that these literati entertainments that cultivated sentiment actually made his spiritual power a little condensed and improved.
It is the so-called "self-cultivation, calm and nourish the spirit". Writing and painting calmly, intoxicating and playing the piano, is extremely beneficial to the enhancement of mental power!! So Lin Chuan put "blowing/playing the piano, dancing and writing" on the daily agenda.
Prepared safely, Lin Chuan carefully probed the surrounding wind and grass, and when he saw that there was nothing unusual, he cautiously pushed the door out, dressed in a milky white robe. Holding a folding fan in his hand, he walked towards the garden as usual.
Liu's Mansion in the middle of the night seemed particularly deserted, and Lin Chuan didn't meet a few people from the mansion along the way.
Lin Chuan walked carefully to the garden, "pretended" to look up at the moon, walked to the corner of the wall, saw that there was no one around, and snapped the folding fan. Kicking up suddenly, he easily climbed over the wall more than a foot high.
Lin Chuan, who had just jumped off the wall. Covering his mouth and nose, he frowned and coughed repeatedly, "Ahem~, the wall on the house, how long has it not been cleaned~ A thick layer of ash!" ”
……
Next
"The master is not good~!" "Something happened to the second young master~~!" "Oh my God~!! Come on! ”…… In the early morning in Liu's mansion, the screams of several maids and servants came from Lin Chuan's room.
Then Liu Shangshu, who was in a hurry. Under the leadership of the housekeeper, he hurried to Lin Chuan's room and asked anxiously, "What happened!" ”
"Master~! The second young master is gone~~! The subordinate who was in charge of cleaning Lin Chuan's room explained to Liu Shangshu with a flustered expression.
At the same time, the attentive housekeeper beside him. An unopened letter was found on the table, "Look, sir, there is still a letter on the table!" ”
On the letterhead, there were a few dragons flying and phoenixes dancing in chic handwriting: "Father, Lord Enlightenment, Jinchuan stays!" ”
Liu Shangshu recognized that this was his son's handwriting, and opened the letter with a puzzled face, and the more he looked at it, the more gloomy, angry, and helpless his face became...... Countless emotions finally turned into a long sigh.
"Alas! In the end, it was ......"
"Daddy! What happened to the second brother...... "At this moment, Liu Jinyuan arrived outside the door, but he didn't expect Lin Chuan's figure, noticed the letter in his father's hand, and naturally understood everything.
"Well, this is a letter left by your brother, and he left a book and ran away! The child is older, and he can't keep it~~" Liu Shangshu sighed faintly.
"Dad, the second brother is just a teenager, after a while, he is tired of wandering on the rivers and lakes, and he will definitely go home!" Liu Jinyuan saw his father's expression and comforted him in a low voice.
In fact, Liu Jinyuan had long expected today's events, and with Lin Chuan's temperament and progress in learning chess, it was simply unrealistic to want the second brother to stay at home in a down-to-earth manner.
……
On the outskirts of Chang'an City
Lin Chuan dressed as an ordinary scholar and walked all the way to the east, walking on the mountain road and enjoying the scenery along the way. A fragrant wood folding fan, the front landscape, the back inscription, are painted by Lin Chuan himself, simple and beautiful, hanging a white jade streamer gourd around the waist, absolutely extraordinary!
Last night
Lin Chuan escaped from Liu's Mansion by climbing over the wall at night, but after nightfall, the city gate of Chang'an City was closed.
To Lin Chuan's surprise, even among the officers and soldiers guarding the city in the Fairy Sword World, there are many martial arts masters with keen ears and eyes.
Without paying attention, Lin Chuan, who was discovered to be moving, decisively used illusion to control and empty the eyewitness's brain, and narrowly avoided a dispute again with his memory!
……
Lin Chuan whispered happily, "The cool breeze has a letter, the autumn moon is boundless, ...... I owe it??" What's next!! That's it,......" Scratching his head with the handle of the fan, Lin Chuan focused on the beautiful scenery of the suburbs along the way.
Walking east from Chang'an City, passing through the mountains and mountains of Lantian County, Lin Chuan soon came to the Weinan area.
Before Lin Chuan entered the city, the sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds and thunder, like a precursor to a storm. Lin Chuan was in the wilderness, and when he saw this, he chuckled in his heart, "Hurry up and find a place to shelter from the rain." ”
After walking for a few miles, Lin Chuan finally saw an old mansion, walked to the door, tidied up his clothes, and knocked on the door politely, hoping that this family could shelter him from the rain and make it convenient.
Knock Knock...... Creak!!
But Lin Chuan knocked lightly and found that the door was actually broken, and then Lin Chuan noticed that the plaque on the door of this house was broken and difficult to identify and see, and he could only vaguely see "... Family...... Bessoen"!
"It should be the abandoned courtyard house of a large family!" Lin Chuan thought so, since it was a deserted ancient house, Lin Chuan didn't think much about it, pushed the courtyard door lightly, and stepped into the door.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, without waiting for Lin Chuan to look at the surrounding furnishings of the courtyard, the dark clouds and thunder that had been brewing for a long time suddenly flashed and roared, and heavy rain fell from the sky!
Splinters~!!
Lin Chuan stood under the eaves of the main hall, looked at the raindrops that were almost connected into a line outside the house, and said secretly, "Fortunately, I found a place to shelter from the rain, otherwise, would I still have to 'carry the six/closing mirror and rush in the rain'?" ”
The heavy rain didn't seem to be able to stop for a while, so Lin Chuan had to sweep out a clean place in the dusty hall to rest.
Looking at this ancient mansion carefully, Lin Chuan has to say that this place has not been cleaned for a long time, and it is a little dilapidated, but it must have been a mansion in the past.
The house is made of blue bricks and red tiles, the beams in the house are carefully carved, and although the furnishings in the house are old, it is not difficult to see the exquisite atmosphere of these furniture furnishings.
The rain was pouring down, it had been raining for more than an hour, and there was no place to stay in the wilderness, so Lin Chuan simply stayed here tonight.
Thinking of this, Lin Chuan got up and walked to the backyard and found a quieter room.
Investigating the inside and outside of the room, there was no trace, so Lin Chuan decided to cast a spell, and used a weakened version of the "Ice and Snow Attack the Sky" Ice Dao Technique, countless ice and snow accompanied by spiritual power vortexes, and the entire space in the house was completely dusted and cleaned in an instant.
Furniture, floors, walls...... The dust and ashes on the furnishings disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye under the blowing of the snowflakes and the breeze. Lin Chuan's heart moved, and the wind and snow in the house, which was "wrapped in a large amount of choking dust", flew out of the door together!
Lin Chuan finally used the weakened "Fire Spell" to bake and dispel dampness, and the room was completely cleaned with just a cup of tea.
The extremely lethal Ice and Fire Dao Technique is used to 'sweep the dust' and 'bake and remove the wet', and Lin Chuan's precise and strong control of the spell can be seen!
Taking out the futon from the system space and laying it out, Lin Chuan lay down as soon as he raised his head, the soft and fluffy futon exuded the fragrance of sunlight, so that Lin Chuan's fatigue from today's rush was swept away. Outside the door is still a majestic rainstorm, but inside the house is Lin Chuan's warm and comfortable nest!
I don't know how long I slept, but when Lin Chuan woke up, the sky was completely dark, and his stomach was already growling.
Lin Chuan walked out of the door, took out a steaming roast chicken and a few delicate side dishes from the system space, and ate it with ice and fire medicine.
"It's so dark in the house!" Lin Chuan held the chicken leg in his hand, took out his free hand, and with a slight wave, a few dry wood weeds under the eaves of the main hall were quickly piled together under Lin Chuan's control, and Lin Chuan raised his fingertips and lit a fire!
"Go!" Lin Chuan said softly, and the flames seemed to be endowed with spirituality, and shot at the pile of wood, bang~! Just hear a pop, and the firewood and weeds burn brightly, turning into a bonfire that lights up the surroundings.
Seeing that the light was improving, Lin Chuan lowered his head again to deal with the various delicacies in front of him, and after more than a year of comfortable life, Lin Chuan was really not comfortable with the rush these days!
"Woo woo woo ~!!"
……
"What's going on?!" Lin Chuan suddenly noticed a terrible whimper from the depths of the courtyard, and immediately raised his head in alarm. At this time, he still had a chicken bone in his mouth!
In the deep and desolate dark courtyard, after a ghost cry and whimper, an inexplicable wind appeared strangely.
After looking around and vigilant for a long time, the surroundings seemed to fall silent again, and Lin Chuan saw that the abnormality disappeared, so he ate again, but a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes.
"The breeze in this room is filled with a hint of yin,...... If I'm not expecting it, it's a ghost or something! ”
