Chapter 118 [coming soon]

   "Hey what happened?"

   "Why is it getting dark?"

   "What a fog!..."

The rest of the people in the yamen had already finished their meal, and they emptied the corn in the barrel, the Chinese cabbage stewed with frozen tofu in the pot, and the pork head meat sausage left on the plate, and they were all eaten up. net.

  At this time, they were clearing the tables and chairs and washing the dishes.

  Suddenly, clouds and mist rose from the ground, covering everyone, almost invisible to each other, and the embers in the stove were also instantly extinguished. Everyone was a little flustered for a while, not knowing what happened, shouting, but not daring to move.

  In a short time, the fog dissipated from bottom to top in an instant, as if it had just been a daydream.

   "What's the matter? My eyes are blurred?"

   "It's true, but if you ask me, I don't know. Suddenly there was fog, and suddenly it disappeared." The cook who was carrying a large spoon shook her head, noncommittal to the question of the helper next to her.

Several passers-by outside the wall of the county government had the same experience. After Yun left in an instant, they stood in the street in shock, and then returned home full of doubts. Two of them decided to go to the Town God's Temple to worship A salute.

  But said Qizhi County, before meeting the two people suddenly drove away on a cloud, opened their mouths wide, staring blankly at the sky.

   After a while, he came back to his senses, and said to the old servant next to him with a smile on his face: "It seems that this time I got lucky and met two real immortals!"

   "Congratulations, Master."

   "You and I, don't need to see each other. Go buy ordinary lanterns and hang them up in the afternoon, and prepare two red lanterns. As they say, when my "concubine's room" comes, I will hang them up."

   Qi Nan waved his hand, and then he continued to look at the sky, as if admiring the clouds in the sky.

  Finally able to sleep well tonight.

  The sun is so beautiful, the sky is so blue.

  ...

  …

  Fang Chang took Gu Shan with him, stepped on the clouds under his feet, and rose together in mid-air.

  Fortunately, Gu Shan is also a practitioner, otherwise the mortal body would be too heavy, and it would be too difficult to ride the clouds and mist, unless it is picked up by a gust of wind, but it is more like a monster than an expert.

  He chose to climb the cloud and leave instead of other methods, in order to reassure the county magistrate.

  The effect should be very good.

  The old man Gu Shan stood beside Fang Chang, and looked at Fang Chang lightly on the cloud.

  He has long observed that Mr. Fang's body is in harmony with the heaven and the earth, and knows that his cultivation is advanced, but he has never imagined that he will reach this state.

  It can climb clouds and fly, which is the envy of many practitioners.

  Although I claim to be a "big hermit in the city", compared with the "high-end" Mr. Fang, I am nothing more than a common man...

  Thinking wildly, Gu Shan looked away and admired the land under his feet.

  Looking from the sky towards the ground, the city looks like a small courtyard, with snow-covered houses inside like bricks in the courtyard, pedestrians like gravel, and streets like cracks in bricks. The fields outside are all white, like a soft blanket under the blue sky, covering the fields, ponds, rivers, woods, and roads.

  The cold wind howled, but neither of them cared about it. Fang Chang realized that Gu Shan was not afraid of the cold and heat, and he didn't help him to block the wind. Anyway, the cloud was very stable.

   Seeing that Gu Shan was very interested in the scenery under his feet, he did not rush to clear the clouds and mists, but stood quietly by the side smiling, giving the other party enough time to check.

   After about a quarter of an hour, Gu Shan turned around, with a trace of reluctance in his eyes.

   "I laughed at Mr. Fang. I can't fly. It's the first time I have to go to the sky. I couldn't hold back seeing the beautiful scenery. I watched it for a while."

  Fang Chang smiled and said:

   "It's normal. Looking down from the sky, you can see everything in all directions, and the beauty of the earth can be seen in all directions. It is indeed a novel experience."

   "It's like climbing the mountain for the first time. Standing on the top of the mountain and looking at the beautiful scenery below, I just feel like lingering. Anyway, I don't have much to do today, why don't I spend more time on the top?"

   "It's enough, let's go back." Gu Shan shook his head, "It's meaningless to indulge in novel scenery. If I can improve my cultivation as an old man in this life, I will come up by myself."

"where are we going?"

   "Well... Mr. Fang, let's go to the next house, sit down for a while, drink two cups of tea, and then go to the side door of the yamen and wait for the lantern to be hung."

"good."

  Fang Chang pressed Luoyun's head and came to the small courtyard where Gu Shan often lived.

His actions caused several households around the small courtyard to experience a "cloud and mist sudden event", which also caused a little panic. Perhaps a hundred years later, there will be more rumored versions of this event, coupled with various Various backgrounds and seasonings are gradually enriched into a new version of bedtime stories.

  Gu Shan added water to the pot, found a teacup of tea, and actually brewed a pot of tea to entertain:

   "Excuse me, sir, my family is very poor, but I can't afford to buy good tea like the one in the county yamen. I don't know if you can still drink this kind of tea after drinking the good tea in the county yamen."

  ...

  …

  The two of them took a short rest and walked towards the county government again.

   "We don't show up, and no one should recognize us." Gu Shan said.

"Okay, it's better to go a little farther away and find a teahouse where you can see the entrance of the county government office, and stay in it." He patted the package on his back as he said, "I have exchanged a lot this time down the mountain, and I don't have any shortages for the time being." Money, I’m here to treat you.”

   Gu Shan readily obeyed: "I have been here for so many years, but I haven't been to a teahouse. Today, I borrow Mr. Fang's light to experience it together."

   "There is a teahouse over there. Let's sit down on the second floor, just in time to see the entrance of the side entrance of the county government office." Fang Chang pointed to the front.

   It is not difficult to go up to the teahouse. After talking to the waiter, the other party immediately invited the two of them to the second floor.

  The business here seems to be not good. Many tables and chairs are empty, and there are not many service staff inside. There is only one waiter upstairs and downstairs.

   The two of them looked for a place by the window, and they could see the side door of the county government office obliquely, so they sat quietly.

   Fortunately, this is just a county government office, and there is nothing special about it. If the opposite is the imperial palace, it would be against the law to observe like this—peeping at forbidden secrets is a serious crime.

  Fang Chang chose a few at random, and the waiter in the shop quickly brought up a pot of good tea, and also brought a few plates of exquisite snacks, which can be served with tea.

   "Sure enough."

Seeing that Fang Chang picked up the pot and tilted it slowly, slightly brownish-yellow, amber-clear tea flowed out from the spout to fill the teacup, Gu Shan took a sip and ate two more snacks. Such good tea, well, these dim sums are also great."

  Fang Chang stretched out his finger and flicked the tabletop. Seeing that it was extremely clean, he said with a smile, "This teahouse has a good environment. Mr. Gu, let's come here during the daytime these few days."

"my pleasure."

  In the next few days, Fang Chang brought Gu Shan here every day, asking for a pot of tea and a few plates of snacks. The two sides talked for a whole day, then went to the restaurant to fill their stomachs, and then went back to Gu Shan's house together.

  After a few days, Gu Shan's face turned out to be much more shiny.

   Early morning of the fourth day.

  Just when he and Gu Shan walked around the corner, the sharp-eyed Fang Chang suddenly shouted:

   "Mr. Gu, look quickly, the lanterns at the front side door have been hung in red!"
