Chapter 18 The fish enter the rivers and lakes and let them go

In the quiet courtyard, illuminated by lanterns and candles, Zhang Xian pushed open the door, wore pajamas, walked out lightly, went to the study first, took "Burial Clothes" with him, and then went to the back door of the small courtyard.

It's spring, the air is warm, and it's not cold in his pajamas, he's all right, and if he is discovered, he's pretending to be stupid in the middle of the night, so he doesn't change his clothes.

When he came to the back door, he closed his eyes and stared, then opened his eyes, looked through the situation, looked around, and then quickly closed his eyes.

He couldn't open his eyes for long, but just one glance wouldn't affect him.

Just now he saw a patrol team coming here, he waited behind the door, listening to the sound outside, the patrol team walked by, he opened the door, and went straight to Mrs. Xiu's house.

Mrs. Xiu's house was nearby, not far away, and on the way, he evaded the patrol of the leader, and he came to a garden, hid in the dense flowers and plants, sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and prepared to cast a spell.

Soon, he entered a state of full attention, opened his eyes, looked directly into the mansion, his pupils contracted, the focus of his eyes changed, and he immediately found Mrs. Xiu.

Mrs. Xiu had fallen asleep, and under the gaze of his gaze, she saw a red light shrouded, lingering, and the weather changed, like a phoenix, which was unspeakably expensive.

Zhang Xian couldn't help but think of the record of the Taoist book: "There are clouds in physiognomy, look at its qi, and know its fate." The people of the royal family are destined by heaven, blessed by the gods, protected by the spirit of the dragon and phoenix, and the evil is not invited, and the ghosts and gods do not enter. ”

The so-called gods are blessed, this is the folk saying of the rivers and lakes, that people of noble birth are blessed by the gods, but ordinary people are mortal with the naked eye, do not recognize ghosts and gods, and can peep through physiognomy.

In fact, the spirit of the dragon and phoenix is not a god, but his own heart, the royal people are born noble, majestic and dignified, and the heart is very great, and they regard themselves as dragons and phoenixes, and the qi naturally changes into the appearance of dragons and phoenixes.

According to his visual observation, the qi on Mrs. Xiu's body was very strong, even a few points higher than that of the ghost fetus.

"I don't know if my Void Talisman can break the momentum of this poisonous woman. ”

He raised his hand, condensed his mind, pinched his two fingers into a sword trick, recited the spell in a low voice, and concentrated on it, the sword trick was drawn in the air, and instantly formed a talisman, which was brilliant and mysterious.

"Soul Suppression, Edict!"

With a low shout, with a flick of his fingers, the soul suppression talisman turned into a spiritual light and swept by, shuttling between the two worlds of yin and yang, not hindered by the spatial distance, like a straight line pointing to Mrs. Xiu, imprinted on the center of the eyebrows, but not imprinted into the Shenyuan, blocked by the red light and phoenix qi, the two rushed against each other, fiercely confronted.

Mrs. Xiu felt something, her body kept trembling, as if she wanted to get up, but she was pressed by something, instinctively struggling to resist, and the phoenix qi of the red light changed violently, constantly consuming the talisman and dispersing the aura of the talisman.

This talisman is rootless water, there is no follow-up blessing, and Mrs. Xiu's qi is endless, and it quickly fades away, and Mrs. Xiu woke up and sat up from the bed, her forehead was full of cold sweat, as if she had woken up from a nightmare.

Mrs. Xiu took a breath, wiped her sweat, and said to herself: "What happened just now? It seems that I was pressed by a ghost, could someone want to assassinate me?"

Mrs. Xiu's mind was deep, and she immediately sensed that something was wrong.

In order to get rid of the little fool, Yuan Chengzi failed to make two attempts, the first time only paralyzed the little fool for one day, and the second time Yuan Chengzi died by himself, the death was too weird and gloomy.

"Could it be that someone is behind the scenes? Is it someone from the Prince's Mansion? Immediately report the situation back to the palace. ”

Mrs. Xiu was thoughtful, something was abnormal, there must be something strange, and she didn't dare to sleep anymore at this time, so she called: "Come on." ”

After a while, the maid outside came in, carrying a lantern and candle, and Mrs. Xiu took a pen and paper, and began to write a letter, asking the maid to summon Butler He to meet her.

In the grass in the garden, Zhang Xian saw that the spell failed, so he had to sigh helplessly, his Taoism was really not enough, and he saw Mrs. Xiu get up and call someone, obviously he noticed something, he didn't dare to stay longer, and left immediately.

Through the grass through the garden, go straight to the small gate on the south side.

This small gate is specially reserved for horses to do rough work, and what to clean up horse manure on weekdays, just go through this small door, because it is dirty, there are few people who walk, only the groom and others live here, and the defense is relatively lax.

He avoided several pairs of patrols along the way, and at each time he walked, he opened his eyes to make sure that the situation around him came smoothly to the small gate on the south side of the Guogong Mansion.

In front of the door, two housekeepers were standing guard, dozing off against the door.

He calmed down, recited the incantation, and made the ecstasy spell, the two family members were confused, completely lost in their sleep, he opened his eyes again, and confirmed that there was no one outside, he stepped forward carefully, pushed open a crack in the door and went out, and then pulled the door.

"It's finally out!"

He couldn't help but sigh, over the years, he had been out of the house only a handful of times, and couldn't help but take a deep breath of the outside air, feeling extremely happy, like a fish swimming into the rivers and lakes, let him be free.

But he didn't dare to stay, there were also patrols in the vicinity of the Guogong Mansion, so he hurriedly left, running on the street in the dead of night, away from the Guogong Mansion, and entering the civilian area.

In the civilian area, he took a set of shabby clothes hanging in the alley, changed into clothes, tied his hair on the top of his head, like a Taoist bun, touched some dust on the ground, and found a firewood stick.

Nowadays, Fang Xian Dao is popular, there are countless warlocks in the rivers and lakes, and there are not a few sloppy Taoists like him.

After glancing at the sky, it was almost dawn, he didn't dare to delay, he had to get out of the city as soon as possible, otherwise the mansion would find that he was missing, and the whole city would be searched.

He went to the North City Gate, and next to the North City Gate was the bazaar, where civilian vendors came and went, and it was the most mixed.

Arrived at the north city gate, the sky was already bright, there was already a large group of people waiting by the door, the carriages and horses gathered, all of them were hawkers who rushed out of the city early in the morning, they were idle and bored at this time, and they were talking about the recent interesting things, that is, the fool of the Guogong Mansion was going to marry the first beauty of Yujing.

When Zhang Xian heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, his reputation is estimated to have spread throughout the entire Universiade Dynasty.

After waiting for a while, there was a bell on the city tower, and a team of guards ran over neatly, slowly opening the city gate, and a large group of vendors were already waiting outside the gate to enter the city.

Zhang Xian mixed in the crowd and went out of the city smoothly, speeding up his pace and staying away from Wenxian City.

He was very familiar with the map of the Universiade Dynasty, and did not take the official road, but took the country road, until noon, walking like flying, in a brisk mood, and unconsciously walked out of dozens of miles away, passed through more than a dozen villages, and entered the boundary of Qingyuan County.

Wenxian County has a total of sixteen counties under its jurisdiction, and Qingyuan County is still the boundary of Wenxian County, but after leaving the county seat, he can also breathe a sigh of relief.

Looking at the direction of Wenxian City from afar, he wanted to laugh happily three times, but he sighed inexplicably, after all, the Guogong Mansion was his home, and he had no choice but to run away from home, and he still felt a little emotional in his heart.

"Maybe I'm a great accomplishment, I'm not afraid of Emperor Yang, and I'll come back. ”

Put away his thoughts, don't think about it, speed up his pace and continue to hurry, he didn't go to Qingyuan County, with the procedures of the Guogong Mansion, he must search the whole city at this time, and if he can't find him, he will inevitably send Pegasus to deliver a message, with his portrait spread all over the place, and set up checkpoints to find him.

"Strive to get out of Qingyuan County today, go to the villages around Wacan Mountain, spend the night, rest for one night, and walk along Wacan Mountain tomorrow, leave the jurisdiction of Wenxian County, and enter Yunan County. ”

He calculated it all in his heart, Crockpot Mountain is the most remote mountainous area in Wenxian County, the terrain is rugged, there is no official road, and the governance of the government is relatively weak, which is the most suitable for him to escape.

In the evening, the sun sets, and the sky is full of red fiery clouds, and the glow is brilliant.

Zhang Xian arrived in the area of Crockpot Mountain, and saw the smoke curling in the mountains from a distance, it was the villagers cooking dinner, his stomach was growling, and he couldn't help but be hungry.

Strange to say, after he recovered, he was very hungry every day, but today he didn't feel hungry or tired after traveling all day, and he didn't feel hungry until he saw the villagers cooking.

"Let's settle down in this village tonight. ”

He put down the bun on his head, when he went out of the city, in order not to attract attention, he pretended to be a Taoist priest's bun, and now that he is out of the city, he wears his hair and scatters, pulls a few straws on the side of the road, and ties them behind his back at will, so that he is more like a sloppy Taoist who runs the rivers and lakes.

And his hair fell out, obscuring part of his face, so that the government would not display his portrait and be recognized.

He walked towards the village, crossed a few fields, and happened to meet a few villagers carrying hoes, and went home after finishing farm work, chatting along the way about what he heard in the market yesterday, and heard that the young prince was going to withdraw from the marriage.

The villagers in the countryside had loud voices, and sighed for a while, but unfortunately Shao Guogong is a fool, and God doesn't have long eyes.

Zhang Xian heard the conversation from afar, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, this area is relatively remote, the news spreads slowly, and he doesn't know about the great joy of the Guogong Mansion.

However, listening to the tone of these villagers, he was quite supportive of him, and he understood that this was the credit accumulated by his grandfather and father.

After the war that year, the people were in dire straits, ten rooms and nine empty, his grandfather and father were benevolent gentlemen, the implementation of the policy of recuperation, the rest of the army, the light requisition, the people's livelihood, the people of Wenxian County gradually lived a good life, much richer than several nearby counties.

The villagers came and saw Zhang Xian, who was very simple and enthusiastic, and shouted and asked across a few fields: "This little brother, it's going to be dark this day, where are you going?"

Everyone in the village knows each other, and when they see strangers coming to the village, everyone will talk to each other.

"Hehe, poor and free, I have seen a few donors. Zhang Xian smiled, pinched the seal in his hand, and performed the etiquette of a Taoist priest.

"Yo!

A few people were surprised, and hurriedly put down the hoe and bowed their hands, for fear of losing the number of courtesies, this is a fairy among the gods.

The ancients were very superstitious, especially at this time, the emperors have cultivated the Tao, and the princes and magnates also believe in this way, and the magic of Fang Xian has been spread so mysteriously, for these ordinary people who don't even know the word, they can't tell the truth from the fake at all, and they fear ghosts and gods from the bottom of their hearts.

"Dare to ask Dao Chief, which Taoist temple are you practicing in, but there is a Taoist, what is the matter with coming to our village?"
