Chapter 21 The City of the Capital
At this time, the rain outside the window stopped, and in the evening after the rain, the red color glow covered the sky, and the clouds looked like mortal creatures.
Walking on the gentle path of the mansion, Lin Nan looked calm, and a faint smile appeared on his face, he felt that there was a kind of relaxation that he had never felt before, like being reborn as a chrysalis.
Rushing back to his little hut, he bandaged his wounds, applied the best gold sore medicine and broken bones, and lay down on the bed in reverie.
Thoughts go round and round. He first thought of his cultivation and became an immortal, and then he and his little sister were both living and losing, immortal partners, how carefree he was, and he frowned again, and the frequent bone cracking pain accompanied by age made him have a headache, when he was in Miaotou Village, the spell cast by the Qingxuanmen Taoist was somewhat similar to the 'Escape Spell', and now even if he was lucky, he would not think that the Dao Chang was casting a spell on himself to eliminate demons.
Lin Nan frowned, his eyes stared straight at the thatched roof, in a trance, unaware that the silver moon was already hanging high, and the moonlight was like a flower, spilling down from the window, dimly dotted in the room.
He looked up at the sky for a moment, as if he had been prepared, dragged a large burden from under the bed and carried it on his body, and tiptoed the door out.
The Fu Mansion in the moonlight is immersed in a peaceful atmosphere. Not far away, in a rather magnificent courtyard, the head of the Fu family was pleasantly surprised by the ambition of the old head of the family a few days ago.
A few days ago, the old master Fu suddenly met with Fu Ding, revealing to him the great ambition in his heart, he said in a very disdainful tone: "Hmph, what is Pingling City, the Fu family will inevitably be famous in the Chu State in the future." ”
Fu Ding was shocked at first, the old master was already in his prime, how could he still be so ambitious? I only remember that the old master Fu smiled strangely at him and said, "Cultivate immortals." ”
Now that things have happened, the Fu Mansion was as calm as ever, until a frightened scream came from the Book Pavilion.
The old master died in the dark room, the death was very horrible, his whole body was black, several large holes were broken in his chest, black blood was oozing, and his eyes were wide open but not closed.
Fu Fu panicked all of a sudden.
Fu Ding was furious and ordered, "Dig three feet into the ground to find out the real culprit." ”
And Pingling City has one more point to talk about after dinner.
"Do you know that the old master of the Fu family has recruited someone to kill!"
"Old Master Fu's martial arts are unfathomable, who has such a ability to take his surname in the Fu Mansion?"
"I heard that Master Fu was poisoned, and now Fu Ding has ordered the city to be closed and the real culprit is investigated."
"Bang. ”
In the meeting hall of the Fu Mansion, Fu Ding slapped his palm heavily on the coffee table, and said to the people below who were worried and worried: "You said that the kid named Lin Nan who took care of the library poisoned the old master?"
"Yes. The man replied respectfully.
After being silent for a long time, Fu Ding's face swept over the ruthless color, and he squeezed out between his teeth: "You want to see people when you live, and you want to see corpses when you die." ”
In Pingling City, there was an uproar because of this incident, but Lin Nan, the initiator, had already fled.
Yuzhou, Chu State, has always had outstanding people and excellent feng shui. Especially in the city of Xudu, there are legends of gods and goddesses, but there are also many feng shui magicians who say that it is the passage from the world to the underworld, and the city is also a ghost town. No matter how you say it, the scenery of the capital city is beautiful, the mountains are beautiful, and many strange people gather here.
It has been half a month since Lin Nan fled the Fu Mansion. The capital city is located in the south, where the mountains are surrounded by undulating mountains, ups and downs, like a hovering dragon. And between the towering mountains, a stream twists and turns, the clear water and clear waves, the mountains on both sides of the river are reflected in the water, the blue sky and white clouds, like the water and the sky are connected, beautiful.
In the distance, a lonely boat drifts gently. The field of vision is closer, a middle-aged man who looks like a fisherman, gently shaking his oars, in the small boat, there are men and women, old and young, and a teenager in the corner of no one is also looking at the landscape here, stunned.
The boat is floating, the breeze is blowing, and there is an indescribable leisure. There are two people in the boat who are very active, and judging by their appearance, it should be the relationship between grandparents and grandchildren. The girl's eyes and teeth are bright, and her ruddy little face smiles with a faint dimple appearing, which is a little similar to Lin Xun'er in Miaotou Village three years ago. And the old man has gray sideburns, but he looks energetic, he is wearing Langzhong clothes, and between his charms, he reveals a bit of wandering and unruly.
The lonely boat goes south, and the girl is like a clear mountain and water, and the cherry mouth can always ask all kinds of strange questions.
And the old man also smiled "hehe", answered every question, seemed to be erudite and talented, traveled through thousands of mountains and rivers, and had a wide range of knowledge.
As if tired of asking, the girl stretched her waist, blinked her big eyes, and said, "Grandpa, it's so beautiful here!"
The old man smiled slightly and said, "That Rou'er, will you marry here in the future?"
Probably not quite understanding what the old man meant by "marrying", the girl was stunned for a moment, pondered for a moment, and then said: "No, I want to marry grandpa, I want to marry grandpa." ”
"Haha"
There was a burst of laughter all around.
The old man was also a little embarrassed, he wanted to play tricks on his granddaughter, but he didn't know that she would say such innocent words.
The young man's eyes were retracted from the mountains and rivers in the distance, and he looked sideways, which made him inadvertently think of his childhood in Miaotou Village. He once thought about going back to Miaotou Village to work like a villager, and to rest after a while, and he had a dull life, but after all, he didn't know what kind of psychological tricks made him come to the capital city.
Suddenly, he gave a strange "ah", his face suddenly appeared in pain, and his whole body curled up, and his bones were like being strangled by gold wire, which made him miserable.
Xiaozhou everyone was startled, and the girl named Rou'er hurriedly leaned back into the old man's arms, and timidly aimed at Lin Nan's position.
"Grandpa, what's wrong with that man?" the girl asked in a low voice.
The old man put his hand to his mouth and motioned for her not to speak, he looked at Lin Nan, and a hint of thought flashed in the depths of his eyes.
Seeing the young man struggling in pain, and then pinched out a strange handprint, in the boat, everyone began to talk about it, even the middle-aged man who was rowing the oars was also alarmed, helpless, if this person had any three lengths and two shorts in his boat, how could this be good!
"Lang Zhong, look for Lang Zhong. In the midst of the panic, someone shouted.
At this time, everyone's eyes turned to the old man who seemed to be knowledgeable and omniscient, because although the clothes he was wearing were a little dilapidated, they could still recognize them as Lang Zhong's clothes.
The old man walked straight up, and everyone consciously gave way to a way. However, the bone colic came and went quickly, and the old man squatted down closely. The young man had barely sat up, but seeing that his face was pale and cold sweat was dripping, it was obvious that he had not felt well just now.
The old man looked at Lin Nan, pondered for a while, and said, "Little brother, with all due respect, seeing that your colic just now does not seem to be infected with a vicious disease, but rather to be spelled by someone." ”
Hearing this, Lin Nan was stunned. Thinking to himself, this person is not connected, just by a glance, he told the secret in his heart, could it be that he met a master before he stepped into the capital city, he was still cautious and cautious, looking at the old man without saying a word.
The old man paused for a moment, thinking that he was not wrong, and then continued: "Are you in pain like a bone marrow cracking, and the pain is unbearable, as if there is a golden wire deeply engraved in it?"
Lin Nan was taken aback, the old man's eyes were like torches, he suddenly grabbed a life-saving straw, hugged the old man's wrist, and said: "What the old gentleman said is very true, I am looking for a master to remove this vicious spell here, I don't know the old man."
Before Lin Nan finished speaking, the old man shook his head with a wry smile and said, "The old man is just a doctor in the rivers and lakes, where is the master!"
"Then how did the old gentleman tell that someone had cast a spell on him?" Lin Nan obviously didn't believe the old man's words, or he was desperate to survive and didn't want to believe it.
The old man sighed and said, "The old man just traveled through the rivers and lakes and met people like Your Excellency. ”
"What happened to that person in the end?" Lin Nan asked anxiously.
The old man stopped talking, and was silent for a while before he said, "That person died in his weak crown years and returned to heaven." ”
Hearing this, like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, Lin Nan was in place, stunned for a long time, and couldn't return to his senses for a long time. Until the middle-aged man who was holding the oars came over and patted him on the shoulder.
"The little brother has landed, the little brother has landed"
Lin Nan woke up, his face was full of anxiety, he looked left and right, and saw that everyone had gone ashore in twos and threes, and only himself and the old man were left in the boat.
"Grandpa, hurry, hurry. The lovely Rou'er on the shore turned to the old man and urged.
The old man shook his head, sighed, came over and patted him on the shoulder, and walked away.
