Chapter VI. Gu Yu leads to a lost city

There are many things going on, and everyone can't help but be a little worried.

However, among them, the ones with the tightest brows are not Shen Lang and Mr. Leng Da, but pandas; he has always been less calculating, and this time he not only has to calculate for the jianghu, but also plots for Bai Feifei.

Fei Fei and Shen Lang's marriage was decided half a year ago, that is, when Shen Lang returned from the tomb for Zhu Qiqi. At that time, he laughed and played with Feifei all day long, which was really reassuring.

Until the Ghost Palace proposed to do the marriage, he did not object, only asked to return to Renyi Mountain Villa to take over various affairs and prepare for the wedding.

Although the Lord of the Great Palace did not want Fei Fei to get married in his heart, he knew that his past with Shen Lang was difficult to exhaust, and it was reasonable that Shen Lang could not stay in the Ghost City for a long time.

And Fei Fei's love for Shen Lang's heart, he also understood it very well. She had long since stopped doing whatever she wanted.

Therefore, after only a little struggle, seeing that Shen Lang was very resolute, he immediately went down the steps given by the Lord of the Great Palace and agreed to Shen Lang's return to Renyi Mountain Villa to marry Feifei.

But in the end, I couldn't help it, and made extremely luxurious requirements for the specifications of the wedding.

Now that the half-year period is approaching, the palace ladies of the Ghost Palace have come to check on the preparations for the wedding.

The Ghost Palace would never have been hasty about this matter, but since the last time there was an accident, the Ghost City was seriously injured, the palace women's spirit was exhausted, and other talents were also injured countless times, and the inner sac was flooded.

He hesitated, thinking that as long as FeiFei was happy,

Two able assistants were reluctantly assigned to avoid omission.

Who knows, the two assistants followed the palace maid all the way to the Renyi Mountain Villa; as a result, although the two men usually appreciated jewelry like wine,

But at this time, looking at jewelry makes no difference.

Even so, of course, I remember what I came to do.

In any case, Zhu Qiqi's reappearance in the jianghu would really cause a headache. After the flying pigeon passed the book to Happy City, he began to examine the authenticity of the matter.

In his opinion, there is no doubt about Zhu Qiqi's death, and someone must have taken advantage of it.

He speculated that Shen Lang would not let Zhu Qiqi's reputation after his death be wronged again, so he would definitely personally investigate the matter thoroughly—it seemed that a trip to Jiangnan was inevitable.

Thinking of being able to fight with Shen Lang again, the palace maid was excited again.

From the bottom of his heart, he felt that renyi mountain villa and ghost city joined forces, plus he could influence, there should be nothing that could not be solved, so his worry was not heavy.

The palace maid guessed that Shen Lang would personally investigate thoroughly, but she did not guess where she was going, not Jiangnan, where accidents frequently occurred, but Guanwai.

What surprised him even more was that Xiao Muyun and Du Gufeng, the two friends, did not have any objections, and looked like they were listening to Jun's dispatches.

Shen Lang's reason was extremely simple, since the events in Jiangnan were well planned, and the Murong family, which had been operating in Jiangnan for a hundred years, had so far found no results, and at this time rushed forward,

It is also difficult to gain something, it is better to follow the clues that Mr. Leng Da inadvertently got, and you may have gains.

In fact, Shen Lang knew in his heart that even if he had no reason, everyone would obey him: although the palace women were elders, their share of master and servant was out, and they could only defend themselves;

Yu Shu had an easy-going personality; the palace women trusted themselves very much; and Xiao Muyun and Du Gufeng would never have any objections, because they were waiting for an opportunity.

Look at how the famous self handled the first crisis since taking over the Renyi Mountain Villa--so they will never give themselves any ideas.

Nor will it be explicitly opposed to anything, because only by handing over all the decision-making power can all the responsibilities and consequences be pushed over.

Therefore, when Shen Lang told everyone that he was going to go to Guanwai, he did not explain too much. The resignations of Xiao Muyun, Du Gufeng and Yu Shu were also expected.

On the day of his departure, Shen Lang met Yang Qiu in the study who was begging to see him. When he entered the door, Shen Lang noticed that he was different from what he usually observed.

In the past, although he was simple, he was always clean and tidy, but today, his eyes are full of blood and his hair is a little messy.

Shen Lang originally thought that he had come to resign, but he had come to ask to walk with Shen Lang.

Although this request was a bit excessive, Shen Lang did not refuse, because he saw Yang Qiu's eyes.

If a person asks you for something with such a look, then any refusal means a complete break with that person.

Although Shen Lang was somewhat curious about this, he did not ask why. Everyone has their own secrets, and Shen Lang will not force anyone to reveal them.

********************************************************************

More than ten days later, Shen Lang and the palace maid arrived at a small town under the Helan Mountain, which was the place where the palace women found the nearest inhabited place in Youzhao.

It was already on the edge of the desert, not too dry, but the weather was a little strange, and it was still very hot when I arrived, and then it rained lightly, and it was as cold as late autumn.

So, early the next morning, Yang Qiu sneezed and went to buy clothes.

He hastily picked out a cotton robe and hurried out of the store. On the corner in front of the store, I collided with a person.

It wasn't until the man sat down on the ground that Yang Qiu could see clearly that it was a girl with two strange buns, looking at him blankly.

Not far behind her, a bright woman dressed in red and a "feminine" boy with a ribbon brocade robe came.

As soon as the girl fell, she heard the woman shouting, "Huan Cui, you are too careless!" I said earlier to find Brother Shen first, you should come to buy clothes first, where is it so cold? ”

As she spoke, she childishly skimmed her lips.

Only to hear the woman comforting: "Fei Fei, to find Shen Lang is not in a hurry, the sky is suddenly so cold, first buy a thick dress is important." With that, he went to help the girl named Huan Cui.

Yang Qiu guessed that the woman was Shen Lang's future wife Feifei, and he couldn't help but be a little disappointed.

In his heart, a woman who can match Shen Lang should have the appearance of the city and the temperament of a famous girl.

This woman was certainly not unbeautiful, but different from what he had imagined. Even so, he could not be disrespectful, and the current etiquette had been seen.

Therefore, before noon, Bai Feifei found Shen Lang with joy.

Shen Lang was a little surprised by Fei Fei's arrival, he could think of the palace maid's report, Fei Fei never violated it, but he did not expect that he did not stop her.

At this point, in fact, Fei Fei also felt strange - why this time, the Lord of the Great Palace would indulge her nonsense so much.

*********************************************************************

Neither Shen Lang nor Fei Fei could understand the worries of the moment.

The Great Palace Lord's worries about Shen Lang may have never even been discovered by Shen Lang himself.

At the moment when Qiqi died, he saw the pain and despair in Shen Lang's eyes, just like he had been the Happy King.

Therefore, at that time, although he comforted Fei Fei and waited, his heart was extremely panicked.

Shen Lang only took half a year to return from a frolicking with Fei Fei, and everyone was extremely happy, except for Zhu Fugui.

Because he saw the look in Shen Lang's eyes at this time, he was like himself many years ago, awakening from the pain of losing Li Meiniang, but now Shen Lang was concerned about Qiqi.

He understood that such a look did not represent forgetting, only the abandonment of forgetting; it did not represent liberation, it only represented despair of liberation.

Who in this world can spend half a year forgetting a woman who loves so much and eventually dies for herself?

The Grand Palace Lord would rather Shen Lang stay longer.

Because of Shen Lang's personality, he may one day be able to truly forget and liberate--that is, a person who suddenly remembers that he has not remembered those past events for a long time in his leisure time.

However, Shen Lang only stayed for half a year, he was so eager to return here, so noisily told everyone about his freedom and happiness,

It can only show that he is so afraid that his addiction has no end, and he is so hard to forget and liberate.

However, this effort and fear itself already represent his unforgettable memories of the past.

The Lord of the Great Palace understood Shen Lang's thoughts too well: Shen Lang was still sad about the death of Qiqi, but he was forcing himself to face his future life.

Shen Lang thought that this was free.

This kind of freedom, in fact, he Shen Lang had used before, when he first sent Qiqi back.

At that time, Shen Lang told Panda Er that he could endure life without Qiqi.

Yes, he can tolerate it. Only in the years that followed, he was always entangled in this relationship.

He could tell everyone that he had long since withdrawn; yet his heart could not be quiet for a moment.

The most terrible thing is that now that she has died for him, he has carved the word 'beloved wife' - so that he can justifiably have her soul and let her have her own soul.

In his observation bit by bit, Zhu Fugui constantly responded to Shen Lang's secret thoughts under the bustle, and he tacitly worried deeply in the joyful frolic of Feifei.

Zhu Fugui was even saddened by Shen Lang's attitude towards the marriage.

When Shen Lang agreed to the marriage, there was no hesitation. Perhaps, it was his complete senselessness that made Zhu Fugui understand that Shen Lang did not have the next difficult determination;

He didn't intend to really forget all the past after the wedding; he wanted to marry Bai Feifei with his heart and live with his heart.

In his heart, perhaps the marriage itself was another tribute to Zhu Qiqi, and another confession to his deceased wife, 'I am fine'.

However, at the last moment, Shen Lang set the wedding date far behind half a year. Perhaps he himself did not realize that his vague rejection of the wedding came from the nostalgia for the past.

With all these worries, the Great Palace Lord was extremely sensitive to rumors about Zhu Qiqi. He did not stop Fei Fei from following Shen Lang, because any accident could make Fei Fei regret for life.

At this time, you can avoid danger by staying close. He just hoped that flying would not hinder Shen Lang's progress.

****************************************************************

Bai Feifei really did not hinder Shen Lang's progress.

On the afternoon of the same day, the group arrived at the place where Shen Lang was most interested- the only ancient temple in the town.

It's not really a temple, maybe it's more appropriate to call it an ancient house. However, it is indeed a place where people in the town use sacrifices.

Although the doorway and pillars of the house are dilapidated, they can still remind people of its former magnificence.

The walls have been mottled, and several unknown purple wildflowers have grown, adding a little bit of brilliance to the flat sky, which has made the house even more desolate.

Shen Lang, Panda Er, and Yang Qiu, escorting Fei Fei, who must come, slowly walked in.

There is nothing strange about the house except that it is used as a sacrifice in an unconventional way.

Extremely disappointed, Bai Fei flew everywhere to fiddle with it, and there was nothing unusual about it.

Until Shen Lang gently patted the top of the unknown goddess statue that was being offered, the statue slowly turned away, revealing a large hole leading to the ground.

When Bai Feifei saw this hole, he was immediately very excited, and he was about to run down the hole, when suddenly two familiar figures flashed by, and it was Shen Lang and the palace girl.

Only for a twinkle in her eye, when she walked into the tunnel, the crowd was already around. Shen Lang was around to protect each other, pandas were exploring the way in front, and Yang Qiu was behind the palace.

Bai Feifei was a little scared at first, but there were candles in the tunnel, and the road was getting wider and wider, and she gradually relaxed.

I was looking left and right looking for freshness, when I suddenly found that the palace maid had stopped. She immediately leaned over to see a bat the size of a thumb cap, hanging upside down on the edge of the wall.

Looking more closely, it is even more surprising, the original bat has no hair, and the skin and flesh around it are transparent, and you can clearly see the red blood vessels and white bones under the skin and flesh.

Bai Feifei jumped up in fright. When she jumped, the bat was frightened, and even flew straight up, and the palace maid immediately turned around and slapped it to death.

At this moment, a door suddenly opened on the edge of the tunnel, and countless blood-colored little bats rushed over with black pressure.

Where the crowd dared to resist, they did not think about it and turned around and fled backwards. Who knew that before a few steps, a stone door fell in front of them, blocking the way to death.

The crowd had nowhere to run away, only to watch the black and red rolling over. Such a large number of bats, even if they are killed and fallen, are enough to bury everyone alive.

Seeing that the black and red was about to arrive, he suddenly heard a sharp laugh passing by, and an extremely sharp whistle, like a ghost roaring.

For a moment, those bats turned around at the same time and flew back, and in the blink of an eye, they were gone.

At the same time, the stone door in front of him also opened again.

The crowd stood in shock for a long time.

Bai Feifei couldn't stop trembling, and said to Shen Lang in a very small voice, "Shall we go back?" Shen Lang nodded, "Send you back first."

Therefore, everyone turned back and walked in the stone path for a long time, and Shen Lang suddenly said lightly, "This is not the way we came." ”

The people who had just been frightened remembered that up to now, the width and narrowness of the tunnel had not changed at all, rather than when they came in.

It seemed that they had been lost in this maze-like dungeon.
