Chapter 263: Zhuge Half-Immortal in Another World
The illusion of the Heavenly Emperor's spirit has undergone earth-shaking changes at this moment, the ethereal smoke clouds around it have become thin and transparent, the sound of fairy music in the ears has gradually stopped, and the surrounding environment has begun to become more and more clear.
This is a quaint long street compacted by loess and stone bricks, with some Chinese-style buildings scattered on both sides of the street, the sun is warm outside, the blue sky is white, but there is a full moon hanging strangely in the western sky, under the light of the noon sun, the full moon is dim, like a round white paper suspended in the sky.
On the low buildings on both sides of the street, there are spherical lanterns that resemble a full moon, and the outside of the lanterns is surrounded by a lake of white pulp, and for some reason there is a little dark green in the lanterns, which seems to be the color of the candles in them.
In addition to Zhuge Yan and Tang Muzhi standing one after the other, there are people dressed in ancient costumes who come and go, peddlers and pawns, drama officials, peasant women and children, or short beats in sackcloth, big shoulders, and the narrow streets come and go, and the crowds are surging, which is completely a scene of an ancient market.
"It's ......"
Tang Muzhi saw Zhuge Bao, who was also stunned, he moved to the stall next to him, picked up a dark puppet mask and looked at it, and the vendor on the stall greeted him very warmly:
"What do you want to see?"
Zhuge asked about the price and origin of the mask without changing his color, and then asked him what kind of place it was.
The hawker replied like a stream, this is a place called "Chahai", that is, the market, Zhuge Yan was curious, but did not ask what dynasty and what dynasty this is.
Tang Muzhi looked around, there were people coming and going in this bazaar, but no one cast a strange look at him, a person who was different from others, Tang Muzhi lowered his head and looked closely, only to find that he had changed to a layer of green cloth and a short beat, and a black belt was still tied around his waist, and his hair also became the appearance of an ancient person, tied in a bun, as if he suddenly ran to the film and television city to be a group performance of an ancient drama.
Zhuge Yan in front didn't know if it was true or not, and turned a blind eye to Tang Muzhi, the two of them walked around from the north and south, and saw the desolate land outside the market, which was very different from the lively scene in the market.
For a while, I couldn't see any scenery in all directions, and after going around and around, Tang Muzhi turned his head back to "Chahai", and this time when he met Zhuge Yan, the two of them spoke to each other.
"Old Tang, are you true or fake?"
"I was about to ask you."
The two of them smiled. Zhuge Yan asked: "It seems that you have also met the 'Daoist Liu' from before, and you haven't listened to him yet." ”
Tang Muzhi: "That's right, he seems to be deliberately inducing me to leave this illusion. ”
Zhuge Yan touched his chin, squinted his eyes and said: "Regarding that 'Liu Daochang', I was wondering if he was one of the three monkeys, after I left, I obviously heard him make a monkey call, and turned around to arrest him, but he disappeared." ”
"And such a thing? I didn't pay attention, I just didn't think his rhetoric made sense. ”
Zhuge Yan crossed his arms and looked around at "Chahai", it has been a short time since the illusion changed, the sun has set, and the full moon that has been hanging in the sky has gradually begun to emit a quiet fluorescence.
"I didn't find any way to break the situation after going around, if you come, you will be safe, Brother Tang, let's go have a drink?"
Zhuge Wei suggested.
Tang Muzhi waved his hand and said, "But we don't have any money." You can't eat a bully meal, right? ”
Zhuge Yan smiled, and Yun Yufeng gently took out some broken silver from his pocket, "I'm invited for this meal!" ”
Tang Muzhi was stunned and said, "Hey? Where did you get the money? ”
"Mountain people have their own tricks." Zhuge Yan is very stinky.
So the two of them found a tavern near the bazaar, and also chartered a private seat on the second floor, the wine and food were not yet served, but there was a middle-aged man with a fat head and big ears, full of red light, dressed luxuriously, like a businessman from outside here, respectfully ran to Zhuge and sang a song, and said:
"Mr. Zhuge , Zhuge is a half-immortal. It's fate to meet again! ”
Tang Muzhi smiled lightly, his guess was really good, Zhuge Yan, this old boy, must have gone to tell fortunes in the afternoon, otherwise he would have come here for the first time, how could he have the money to invite him to drink.
Zhuge greeted with a smile: "Boss Huo, we have a fate when we see one side, but the second side may not be." ”
The merchant surnamed Huo showed a surprised look on his face: "Zhuge Half-Immortal is really like a god!" In that case, I won't hide it from you, I sent two people to follow you in the afternoon, but I didn't expect to be discovered by you. After a while, the wine came, and I punished myself with three glasses of apology! ”
Zhuge Yan waved his hand and said, "Boss Huo is serious, please make it clear if there is anything." If I can help, I will not refuse. ”
Boss Huo smiled happily, took out a few taels of silver from the money bag and threw them to Xiao Er, "Since this is the case, Huo Mou will be cheeky and take a seat." Who is this master? ”
"Master" naturally said Tang Muzhi, Zhuge pursed his lips and smiled, this surnamed Huo is really good, he is "high" enough.
"The farmer in the field doesn't know a single big word. Just talk to the two of you. Tang Muzhi replied.
Boss Huo showed a smile on his face, and said in his heart that this peerless appearance, calm and subtle, it seems that he is another character like Zhuge Half-Immortal, Fuyuan, you have to grasp it well.
Boss Huo didn't explain his intentions, but chatted with Zhuge Yan one sentence after another. From their conversation, Tang Muzhi knew the process of these two meeting and getting married.
It turned out that Zhuge walked along the market for a while, and found that this place is indeed not small, and there is no plan to go again, such a real illusion, it is a pity not to experience the ancient life.
However, although there are many places to eat, drink and have fun here, he does not have half a penny in his pocket, so he borrowed a brush, branded the banner of his ancestors, and wrote on the ground, "Count all the heavens and the earth with a snap of your fingers, and measure the fortune of the official and make a fortune of ten taels." ”
Of course, this sky-high asking price attracted the attention of many people, and the first to express dissatisfaction was this Boss Huo. Boss Huo didn't ask him about his hypocrisy, but asked what is the flow of a pawnshop opposite Zhuge today?
I didn't expect Zhuge to report a number without thinking about it, of course Boss Huo didn't believe it, but he just saw Zhuge Yan coming from a distance and looking left and right to find a place to write, if he didn't stare at it for a day, how would he know how much the flow of the pawnshop was? Besides, this is a black shop, not only to trap people but also to secretly collect some stolen goods, he often comes to Chahai to do business, which is clear.
Boss Huo then sent his subordinates to ask, but the boss carried a stick to beat it out, and shouted something in his mouth, "Even if you are not a yamen official, you dare to come to check Lao Tzu's account" Yunyun, Boss Huo knew that he had done a stupid thing, so he made a little money to calm the matter, and finally asked the boss to report the number casually.
I didn't expect that the numbers were really the same as what Zhuge said, and now Boss Huo didn't find fault, obediently took out the silver, and asked a few ways to make money, and suddenly felt that he benefited a lot, so he called Zhuge Yan "half immortal".
