Chapter 58 Weird Formation
Huang Feng rested at the inn for the night and was about to leave the city the next morning when he found Luo Fang and Tao Yansheng waiting downstairs.
Both of them were a little depressed. Tao Yansheng, wrapped in fur clothes and holding morning tea, looked even more embarrassed.
Huang Feng was a little surprised to see them sitting at the same table.
"Brother Huang!" The two of them greeted him with sad faces when they saw him coming down. They were not happy at all.
Seeing this, Huang Feng knew that the two of them were in trouble. He went over to sit down and asked, "Do you know each other?"
"We just met." Luo Fang pointed to Tao Yansheng next to him, "I picked it up from the street when I came back."
"What do you mean? Didn't you go see Miss Hongyu last night?" Huang Feng was puzzled.
Tao Yansheng explained with a slumped head: "I went to look for him, but I wasn't selected. Of course, the same goes for my gang of friends."
"Then what?"
Tao Yansheng covered his face: "Then everyone was very unhappy, so they drank more. When I woke up, I was already sleeping on the street."
Luo Fang glanced at him: "Did you get drunk and cause trouble in Yuhua Tower and were thrown out?"
Tao Yansheng recalled carefully and found that he couldn't remember anything. He said angrily: "I don't remember. Did I really go crazy drinking in Yuhua Tower?
No wonder besides the headache, I also have a little pain in my butt. The headache is caused by drinking, and my butt must have been thrown by the nurse at Yuhualou. "
"That's hard to say." Huang Feng said seemingly casually.
The two of them looked at him together: "What else is possible?"
"It's nothing." Huang Feng looked at Tao Yansheng and felt that it was better not to provoke him. If there was a female ghost in front of him and a strong man behind him, these ill-fated brothers might not be able to bear it.
In order to change the subject, Huang Feng looked at Luo Fang: "What about you, looking for me?"
Luo Fang was a little embarrassed: "I want to ask Brother Huang for a little something."
"Didn't go well last night?"
"Yes." Luo Fang explained with a frown, "The influence of Dongshi Town has continued to this day. Recently, there have been a lot more incidents of ghosts harassing and harming people in various places.
To be honest, Brother Huang, I also took advantage of you and gained some credit in Dongshi Town. With the accumulation during this period, I was promoted to a thousand households.
We got news a few days ago that people are often trapped at night on the official road from Fengping to the south, and they stay trapped all night.
Although no one has been injured so far, it is not just ordinary people who are trapped. Many monks have been trapped. No one knows that one day someone will be injured. "
"A ghost breaking a wall?" Tao Yansheng couldn't help but ask. People who often walk at night are not afraid of this.
Luo Fang shook his head: "It's not like a ghost hitting a wall, it's not like walking in circles, it's more like being trapped in a formation barrier.
Yesterday, the Governor entrusted this task to me. Because I didn’t know what the evil spirits were doing, I specially brought more people with me, but I didn’t expect..."
Seeing that he was a little embarrassed, Huang Feng said for him: "I didn't expect you to be trapped too?"
Luo Fang was a little embarrassed: "Well, I was trapped before I knew it, and I wasn't released until tomorrow."
Huang Feng wondered: "Why are you looking for me? Go find Zhen Fu."
Luo Fang quickly explained: "This is the first thing Master Zhenfu gave me after I was promoted to Qianhu. I also brought someone with me, but I was trapped for a night without knowing anything, so I went to look for him in despair. It will probably affect the adults' impression of me.
If Lord Zhenfu took action in person and easily broke the formation and put an end to the evil spirits, he would definitely rate me as 'incompetent'!
What if... I mean what if, even Lord Zhenfu is trapped. He won't say anything about such a shameful thing on the surface. Who knows if he will be angry with me secretly. "
Huang Feng was quite surprised to hear Luo Fang's eloquent words: "I didn't expect you to be well versed in officialdom and think a lot."
Luo Fang was ashamed: "Brother Huang, I feel like your impression of me is not very good either. I don't usually just think about drinking and eating meat!"
Quite self-aware.
Huang Feng thought for a while: "Going south... is the only way to Fenzhou?"
"yes."
"Then I have some reasons to help you."
Luo Fang responded quickly: "Brother Huang is going to Fenzhou?"
"Um."
Hearing what Huang Feng said, he should have agreed, Luo Fang was a little excited: "Then when will we leave?"
"Now?" Huang Feng put down the bowl and asked Tao Yansheng, "Should we say goodbye here, or come with us to have a look?"
Tao Yansheng was a little moved, and checked with Luo Fang again: "No one will die, right?"
"So far, no one has died!" Luo Fang emphasized, and said to Huang Feng with some worry, "Isn't it a good idea to take him with you?"
"What are you afraid of? Why, you still want him to sign a liability exemption agreement?"
Luo Fang was confused: "What is that?"
"It is to declare that following him to catch monsters is Tao Yansheng's personal behavior. If an accident occurs, Luo Fang will not bear any responsibility."
Luo Fang's eyes lit up: "Is this statement useful?"
"What do you think?"
Luo Fang also came to his senses: "That's definitely useless. Not only is it useless, if I really show this thing to Lord Zhenfu, he won't slap me to death!"
Huang Feng smiled and said, "Okay, let him follow. Strictly speaking, I am also a civilian."
"Yes." Luo Fang nodded.
After leaving the inn and heading out of the city, with Huang Feng there, Luo Fangfang didn't ask anyone else from Ji Yaosi to go with him.
Luo Fang's skinny horse was ridden by Tao Yansheng. Huang Feng said regretfully beside the horse: "It's carried here and there, either corpses or men!"
Hearing this, the thin horse burst into tears and spoke its heart.
Huang Feng comforted it again: "At least it is a hundred pounds lighter."
This is also true. The thin horse's mood improved and his hooves became a little faster.
Luo Fang: "..."
On the way, Huang Feng asked Luo Fang to explain in detail the situation when he was trapped, but he was so confused that he couldn't explain it at all.
Looking back carefully, I only remember that they were trapped in a square space with four sides. There were numbers on the ground, but they couldn't figure out the meaning.
With just these clues, Huang Feng couldn't figure out where the other party came from.
Xie haunted them at night, so they set out in the morning and were not in a hurry. When they got to the place, there was still plenty of time for Huang Feng to observe and make arrangements.
This south-facing official road faces mountains to the east and water to the west. It is a must-pass for people and merchants traveling south.
In the winter wilderness, there is no sound of insects, and a layer of floating ice on the water blocks the sound of the water. Only the biting mountain wind howls, and the surroundings are particularly lonely.
Tao Yansheng wrapped his fur clothes tighter and looked enviously at Huang Feng and Luo Fang, who were not afraid of the severe cold.
After wandering around the area, Luo Fang looked at the horizon: "It's sunset."
The paper planes thrown out by Huang Feng were hovering in the air, but there was still no abnormality.
They waited until the sunset completely set on the horizon and the moment night fell, the barrier hidden in the night enveloped them.
The scenery disappeared, and the surrounding area was obscured by hazy black fog. Seeing this scene, Luo Fang immediately pointed out: "This is the formation."
Huang Feng heard this and looked around. Sure enough, he was everywhere.
Looking at the ground again, there are indeed numbers emerging in certain locations.
But why does this layout look familiar?
Looking at the positions of these numbers and silently calculating the size of the space, Huang Feng suddenly cursed: "What a shit formation, you bastard asked me to play Sudoku, right?"
