A knife in love

Chapter 2213
Wang Xiaoyu and Murong Danyan listened to Feng Wei's words, the more they listened, the more frightened they became. They thought to themselves that the Tang Dynasty man named Wang Chen plotted against the vixen, which was quite similar to their adventure in Zhuangzi just now.Could it be that like Feng Wei, he also fell into the trick of the owner of Guizhuang, and was lured into the illusion by him?But I just passed by in a hurry in the yard, and didn't pay attention to the pictures on the wall at all, so how could I be lured into the illusion by the owner of the ghost village without knowing it?

When the two daughters were thinking about it, they only heard Feng Wei continue to say: "The king chased away the fox, and then picked up the heavenly book. But he opened the heavenly book and saw that it was full of tadpole-like characters, and none of them were there. I know it. He thought to himself, the book of heaven is not something extraordinary, only those who have attained the Tao can understand it. I heard that there are many high-level hermits in Zhongnan Mountain. I am going to Chang'an on this trip. It is not far from Zhongnan Mountain. I might as well stop by Zhongnan Mountain During the tour, if you meet someone who is a master of the Tao, ask him to explain the book of heaven, and then follow the method recorded in the book to cultivate the Tao, you may have a great achievement. Wang Chen made up his mind, hid the book of heaven in his arms and continued on his way. Arrived in Chang'an It was already dusk outside the city, and the city gate was closed. Wang Chen had no choice but to find an inn outside the city to stay.

"While Wang Chen was having dinner in the lobby of the inn, another guest came to the inn, who called himself Hu Er. When he entered the inn, he covered his left eye with his sleeve and told the innkeeper that he met in a tree in Fanchuan. Two foxes rolled and howled on the ground, as if they were seriously injured. I wanted to take the opportunity to catch the two foxes, skin them and sell them for money. Unexpectedly, the foxes were very cunning. When they saw him coming to catch me, they hid in the trees and bushes Although he tried his best to catch up, he was not as agile as the fox. In the end, not only did he not catch the fox, but he accidentally fell down and hurt his eyes.

"Wang Chen was sitting on the side, listening to Hu Er talking to the shopkeeper. He couldn't help but interjected that he also met two foxes. At that time, the two foxes were reading in the forest. He injured the foxes with a slingshot and drove them away. They snatched the book from their hands. After hearing what Wang Chen had said, the shopkeeper and Hu Er not only praised Wang Chen for his wit and slingshot skills, but also asked Wang Chen to take a look at the heavenly book left by the fox. Wang Chen listened Seeing the envious expressions on the shopkeeper and Hu Er's faces, he thought to himself that if he didn't show the Heavenly Book to these two guys, they might suspect that he was bragging. So he readily agreed , put down the wine glass, and reached out to touch his arms, wanting to take out the book of heaven for the shopkeeper and Hu Er to look at.

"At this moment, the shopkeeper's little grandson staggered out of the lobby. This young boy was only three or four years old. After seeing Hu Er, he pointed to Hu Er and asked the shop owner, Grandpa, why is there a big cat sitting Here? When Wang Chen heard this, he immediately realized that Hu Er was transformed into a blind fox. He followed him to the inn, and then changed into a human form to talk to him. It was nothing more than trying to deceive himself and take back the heavenly book. It's just that he was able to deceive himself and him. The shopkeeper, however, could not deceive Chizi's eyes, and was seen by the young boy. Thinking of this, Wang Chen drew out his sword and slashed at Hu Er. Seeing that the situation was not good, Hu Er rolled back, revealing Truth, he fled to the door of the inn in a panic. Wang Chen was chasing after him, but it was getting late, and the fox took advantage of the darkness to sneak into the cave in the city wall. Wang Chen searched everywhere under the city wall and was captured by the guard After finding out, they thought he was plotting something wrong, so they took him to the city for interrogation. Fortunately, Wang Chen brought a guide with him, so he was not taken into prison. But he was beaten and kicked by the sergeant. Wang Chen was annoyed and dared not Turning against the sergeant, I can only go back to the inn angrily."

Wang Xiaoyu and Murong Danyan heard what Feng Wei said, recalling that they had also been to the inn in the illusion, and they were almost plotted by the fox, thanks to the shopkeeper's grandson who exposed the identity of the fox.But thinking about it now, it seems like a lifetime away.With the wisdom of the two, as soon as the vixen appeared, he would be able to see through it immediately.Why did he suffer from the fox's stupidity in the illusion?From this point of view, being in an illusion is like dreaming, and often the mind is confused, and even very ordinary things can't be understood.

When Wang Xiaoyu and Murong Danyan were thinking about it, they only heard Feng Wei continue to say: "After Wang Chen returned to the inn, he hated the vixen for teasing him, which made him humiliated, and made up his mind to take revenge on the vixen. He took the heavenly book I came out to play, although I couldn't understand the tadpole text in the book, but it was undoubtedly a wonderful book. Wang Chen couldn't put it down, for fear that the fox spirit would steal the book, he hugged it in his arms when he went to bed. At three o'clock that night , the two foxes yelled outside the inn door, boy surnamed Wang, return the book to us quickly, and there will be benefits for you. If you are greedy and don’t return it, don’t regret it when the time comes!

"Wang Chen was furious when he heard the words. He put on his clothes and drew his sword, and rushed to the door of the inn, intending to kill the two foxes. The owner was frightened and refused to open the door for him. Wang Chen had no choice but to confront the two foxes across the door. , It was not until four o'clock that he returned angrily to the guest room where he lived.

"Early the next morning, the shop owner and guests all came to persuade him to return the book to the vixen. At that time, Wang Chen hated the fox to the bone. He just wanted to kill him with a sword, and regarded the book as a taboo. How could he return the book? To the fox? So he let everyone persuade him, but he just shook his head and refused. After breakfast and paying the rent, Wang Chen led Wang Fu to ride into the city and arrived at the gate of the old house. It turned into ruins. Seeing this situation, Wang Chen couldn't help crying. He went to visit relatives and friends who stayed in Chang'an City, and there were not many of these relatives and friends left. Relatives and friends advised him to take care of the land again, and Wang Chen listened. Everyone persuaded them to buy another house in Chang'an City, planning to tidy up the house first, and then take the family back to Chang'an to live in.

"It wasn't until a month later that Wang Chen cleaned up the house. He wanted Wang Fu to go to Hangzhou to pick up his family, but the servant Wang Liuer who was supposed to stay in Hangzhou came to the door. Seeing Wang Liuer wearing mourning clothes, Wang Chen was shocked and hurriedly asked Why did he come here and still dress like this? Wang Liuer looked sad, and took out a letter and handed it to Wang Chen. Wang Chen took the letter and opened it, it felt like a basin of cold water was poured on his head, and he almost cried out.

"It turns out that this letter was written by Wang Chen's mother. After Wang Chen left Hangzhou, she heard that Shi Siming was making trouble in Hedong again in Hangzhou. , became sick from worry, was seriously ill, and knew that her fate would not be long. This letter is her suicide note. She asked Wang Chen to bring her ashes back to Chang'an for burial. It is uncertain when they will cross the Yellow River and head south, so Chang'an is definitely not a place to live for a long time. After burying himself in Chang'an, Wang Chen must sell the family property in the capital and return to Hangzhou to take care of the family business. The Queen Mother finished writing The next day after this letter, she died of a serious illness. After the members of the Wang family cremated her body according to the Queen Mother's order, together with her suicide note, they were handed over to Wang Liuer to take to Chang'an, and presented to Wang Chen for his decision. The important event of the Wang family's relocation."
