Chapter 610 Slipped Away

In his dream, he returned to the time when he supervised the construction of the Xushan Spirit Gathering Array more than ten years ago. The transformation of Xushan took a long time, but the construction demonstration before the start of construction actually took only three months.

No one in Beijia could stop what the gods and the emperor wanted to do.

Zai Fukua still remembered that during these three months, his colleague and good friend Mei Shifu argued with him about the construction of the array.

"Nonsense, it's too dangerous to do this!"

"This is the will of the old emperor, and it is also the result of the gods' consultation. What do you have to doubt?"

"But, but..."

"But what but, we just need to resolutely implement and supervise the construction with all our strength!" Zai Fukua sneered, "If you and I dare to change one place, if something goes wrong, will the heads of our whole family be chopped off?"

After saying it a few more times, Mei Shifu gave up.

But no matter how careful everyone was, an accident still happened on the day when the array eye was placed...

Although more than ten years have passed, Zai Fukua still remembers that day when Tianshu Peak fired fire bombs and roared to the sky, and the doomsday scene scared everyone.

Fortunately, he was still some distance away from the outbreak point...

But Mei Shifu on Tianshu Peak died on the spot.

Alas, everything is determined by fate, and no one can control it.

Zai Fukua slept until the afternoon of the next day.

The concubine saw that his eyes were wide open and he was staring at the top of the tent, and she couldn't help but worry: "Master?"

"Nothing, just thinking about the past." In the first few years after Mei Shifu's unfortunate death, he always dreamed that he came to complain to him, but it was fine after he went to the temple to ask for a peace of mind talisman.

How come he dreamed of this person again more than ten years later?

But he couldn't remember what the two said in the dream when he woke up. Maybe it was the same thing in the past?

It seems that he has to go to the temple to ask for a peace of mind talisman again.

But when he went to the temple, the fortune teller from last time came to read his fortune again, and said "Congratulations" when he saw him.

Zai Fukua said unhappily: "Why be happy?" I dreamed of that short-lived old Mei last night.

"I once said that Master Zaifu will have a disaster when he is 74."

"Yes." He still feels uneasy for so many years.

"Looking at Master Zaifu's face today, the bad luck has dissipated." The fortune teller bowed deeply, "Congratulations Master Zaifu, you have safely passed the disaster, and you can live to be 100 years old!"

Zaifu Kua was shocked at first, and then overjoyed: "It's over? My disaster is over now?"

If it were normal, he would be skeptical. But last night he suddenly dreamed of Mei Shifu, whom he hadn't seen for a long time. Did this old friend help him in the dark?

In any case, this is a good thing, a great thing!

"Reward!" Master Zaifu was happy, and the fortune teller immediately received a generous reward of 100 taels of silver.

"Hold a banquet, hold a banquet!" Zai Fukua smiled, "Seven days later, no, five days later! Invite all my old friends."

The attendant agreed, and then carefully reminded: "Sir, your 75th birthday will be next month."

"What does it matter?" Zai Fukua didn't care, and waved his hand, "Do it! Do it!"

...

He Lingchuan also slept until noon before getting up.

As soon as the gate was opened, there were two Tongxin guards standing guard outside.

Apparently, his residence was taken special care of.

The fierce tiger Jiao Yu came out from nowhere and stretched beside him.

"There are people watching you in secret, I can smell their scent." Passing by a big tree, the fierce tiger stood up, scratching the tree with ten sharp claws, hissing, "I want to eat them all!"

The feeling of being monitored was particularly unpleasant. It is a great general of Baishan...

"Hold on." He Lingchuan stroked the tiger's back, feeling the knotty muscles under the fur, "I told the kitchen to slaughter a fat sheep last night, wrap the mutton and hang it in the cold water pool, waiting for you."

The reason why it was not hung in the lake in the back mountain is because it is not safe there.

Sure enough, the tiger's anger subsided when he heard that there was meat to eat.

He Lingchuan walked out and found that there were several pairs of eyes staring at him nearby. His spiritual perception is gradually getting stronger now, and once he is spied on, he will feel strange.

Obviously, Fan Longan has spies in Pianxiang Villa in addition to the open stakes.

Entering the back kitchen, the tiger got the fat sheep that was slaughtered, skinned and washed as he wished, and the enthusiastic cook stuffed a large food basket into He Lingchuan.

Four food boxes, stacked together.

He Lingchuan said a few good words to the cook, handed over ten copper coins as a tip, and then put the food basket and the fat sheep into the storage ring and walked to the back mountain.

As Fu Shanyue's money was spent, Pianxiang Villa became more and more like a villa.

The servants swept the fallen leaves on the path, making a rustling sound; Menghu couldn't help but roll over twice on the thick pile of fallen leaves.

Ah, so cool!

The pavilion on the back mountain was being repaired, making a clanging sound.

The late autumn sun shone on people, bringing a rare warmth.

A gap had been made in the bushes behind the weasel's house, and a small pier was built overnight, where the pleasure boat stopped.

He Lingchuan jumped on the boat, untied the rope, and pushed the wooden paddle towards the baffle of the pier.

As soon as Menghu jumped to the bow, the pleasure boat left the shore and drifted leisurely to the center of the lake.

It squatted down, staring at the shore with its big eyes, and suddenly said, "Those rats really showed up."

Behind the bushes on the lakeshore, a figure flashed.

"We call ourselves Tongxinwei, not rats." He Lingchuan looked at it and felt that it was like a cat staring at a mouse. Even the tuft of white hair on the tip of its tail kept shaking. "It's time for dinner."

The tiger had this attitude towards Tongxinwei, probably because Fu Shanyue was getting more and more impatient with the restrictions and controls of Lingxu City.

He Lingchuan caught the fat sheep, took a knife and cut it into several large pieces, and put it on the bow to feed the tiger.

The space in the cabin was too cramped for the tiger, which was nearly ten feet long.

He Lingchuan opened the food boxes one by one, and there were a big bowl of braised rice noodles, a basket of pan-fried buns, a large pile of scallion pancakes, a small bowl of pear soup, and a small bowl of crystal buckwheat in the corner.

The bottom of the pan-fried buns was fried to a golden brown crust, and it made a shredding sound when scraped with chopsticks. The bun skin was very soft and moist, and there were a few black sesame seeds. He Lingchuan was not afraid of the heat, and he stuffed one into his mouth, and it burst with juice.

As for the scallion pancake, don’t look at the thin slice, it is actually several layers of crispness. When he rolled it up and ate it, he sandwiched a few crystal buckwheat, and the taste was improved by two levels.

That bowl of braised rice noodles was even better. Not only was it rich in ingredients, but also had dried mushrooms, shrimp, pork, squid, bamboo shoots, and day lily in it. The base was still the broth made from pork bones and chicken racks. The soup was just the right thickness. It was so comfortable to sip it.

Let alone He Lingchuan, an ordinary person would feel warm all over after eating the hot braised rice noodles.

He devoured the food like a whirlwind, which made the tiger eating raw meat on the opposite side look gentle and graceful.

There was no other way. The big cats were born unable to chew, so they could only cut the meat with their side teeth and swallow it.

He Lingchuan had finished eating, and Jiao Yu had only eaten less than a quarter of the sheep.

He grabbed the wooden paddle and moved towards the north bank.

The boat with one man and one tiger on the south bank of the lake was now heading straight to the north bank, so the Tongxin Guards who were originally following them had to run north along the shore.

Unfortunately, this lake was not small, and the shoreline was quite tortuous.

One of the Tongxin Guards was impatient and took off his coat and was about to go into the water: "Swim over, swimming is faster than walking!"

Swimming is also in a straight line.

But just as he reached the water's edge and hadn't taken off his shoes, his companion suddenly grabbed him:

"Don't go in, look at the lake!"

The man glanced into the water and saw a big guy jumping out of the lake nearly four feet high, and then fell back heavily. The splashing water splashed in the sun and sprayed several people's faces.

Several people stretched out their hands to wipe the water off their faces: "What is that?"

"It looks like a big-mouthed catfish."

Catfish eat everything and are easy to grow into large individuals. This one is more than ten feet long. When it came out of the water, the fish's mouth was wide open, as if it would be no problem to put a person in.

At this time, another big fish showed its back on the water. It was not a catfish, but it was not smaller than it at all, but its body color was slightly lighter.

It swam half a circle around the shore, and no one dared to go into the water.

How could two fish kings suddenly appear in the lake behind Qilin Mountain?

It's obvious that it has something to do with these Chiyan people.

Everyone had to honestly bypass the lakeshore and go to the north bank.

When they arrived, the pleasure boat had already drifted into the tall grass on the north bank. The tiger was still lying on the bow eating, and the fat sheep was left with only its hind legs.

As for the cabin, of course it was empty.

The Tongxin Guards looked at each other in dismay.

This kid is really cunning, just as Deputy Commander Fan said!

On the first day of their rotation at Pianxiang Villa, they lost the people!

But the lake is so big that no matter where the surname He rowed, it would be easy to get rid of them. How to solve this problem?

Just when they were at a loss -

He Lingchuan had already hummed a little song and came to the foot of Qilin Mountain. The big-horned mountain goat was leisurely chewing grass roots here. Seeing the owner coming, he happily rubbed his arm.

He Lingchuan rode the mountain goat and ran to the south.

Originally, there were many fish in the lake behind the Qilin Mountain, but there were no monsters. He asked the gibbon Lao Ge for help and invited two fish monsters to live there.

These two fish monsters usually help people drive fish into the net in the lake and river, and they can get some share or remuneration after the harvest. But the competition in this industry is fierce, there are younger and stronger descendants than them, and humans are very hard to lower the price, so the two big fish always feel that they are not full.

Now, He Lingchuan invites them to live in Qilin Lake.

The lake is not wide for the two fish, but it is deep inside and connected to the cave in the mountain, and the environment is very good.

The fish monsters in Qilin Lake were cleared out a long time ago. For the two new fish kings, there is enough food here, and He Lingchuan also promised to give them regular meals, and the work content is very simple:

Do not allow others to go into the water, and occasionally help pull the boat.

And for He Lingchuan, monsters that can be bribed are good monsters.

…

Dong Rui walked on the street, wearing a coarse cloth dress, a veil on his head, and a little squirrel lying on his shoulder.

The squirrel kept giving him instructions:

"Go straight."

"Left, left! Not right!"

"Enter the alley."

"You've gone too far, idiot! Back off, this isn't the way I meant!"

Dong Rui: "..." Where did He find such a little chatterbox? He really wanted to sew it shut.
