Inward scrolling golden light spell, subdue demons from the heavens!

Chapter 408 Men, huh!

"Cough cough..."

"Brother Yan, are you okay?"

Zhang Chuba said weakly with concern.

"It's okay, you have a good rest, I'm going to leave first."

Brother Yan didn't look back, but just waved his hand, then walked away with a melancholy step, pushed open the felt door.

Zhang Chuba narrowed his eyes slightly, then coughed violently for a while, closed his eyes and began to breathe in pain...

……

Ten days passed in a flash.

Zhang Chuba and his party entered the territory of Yong'an County. The carriage drove slowly on the broad official road. On both sides were endless fields. Under the setting sun, farmers who had finished a day's work carried hoes and walked home in the afterglow, chatting and laughing...

Zhaocai drove the carriage in front to lead the way, deliberately slowing down the speed. When the farmers along the way saw the flags fluttering on the carriage, they would consciously step aside and bow respectfully from the bottom of their hearts!

This place is less than a hundred miles away from the capital city of Xiayang. It was specially selected by the old emperor when he granted the marriage. He personally changed the name and gave it as part of the dowry to Yong'an. In name, it completely belongs to her!

But in order to avoid suspicion, Yong'an never interfered in the political affairs here. He only reduced the taxes of the tenants, which greatly improved their sense of happiness. Now almost every household has a longevity tablet out of gratitude!

The carriage changed its route midway and went up the mountain instead of entering the city.

This is a solitary mountain, no more than a hundred feet high and not steep, but it has a very resounding name, called Luofeng Mountain. But ever since a Forget-Sorrow Villa was built on the mountain, the name of this place has gradually changed. Local people all know that it is the princess's villa, so they all call it Forget-Sorrow Mountain.

Thanks to Yong'an's kind heart, nearby farmers often go up the mountain to collect firewood and pick wild vegetables. If they come across pheasants or rabbits, they are happy to catch them for a snack, but they all tacitly agree to only go halfway up the mountain.

The carriage went up along the wide mountain road, without seeing any guards. It was not until it reached the top of the mountain that it saw two teams of strong and muscular guards in black clothes patrolling back and forth.

These guards seemed to have received the news a long time ago, but they did not greet them. They just stopped where they were, saluted, and continued patrolling!

Wangyou Mountain Villa is very grand, but how grand is it? (My dear readers, you have a rich imagination, so I won’t bother to make up stories.)
At this time, the main door of the villa was wide open, and the eight-story white marble steps were filled with servants and maids! The leader was a tall and mighty old man with a white beard, who was the housekeeper of the villa. His former name had long been forgotten, and now he was called Zhang San!
Zhaocai drove the carriage over, and Zhang San immediately led the servants to greet him, but the carriage showed no sign of stopping. She just waved to Zhang San, pointed back, and drove the carriage to the side door where carriages usually entered and exited...

Zhang San received the signal and reached out to stop the carriage driven by Yan Chixia. He bowed politely and said, "Sir, please get off the carriage and follow me in..."

Yan Chixia looked from afar and saw Zhaocai driving the carriage into the side door.

"Thank you..."

Yan Chixia politely clasped his fists in return and jumped off the carriage swiftly.

The carriage was not soundproof, so the scholar and Xiaoqian naturally did not need to be informed. They got off the carriage one after another. Xiaoqian looked around and asked, "Where are the Taoist priest and the others?"

"Go in."

Yan Chixia said.

Then he bowed to Zhang San and said, "Brother, please take us in."

"You are welcome, my dear. I am just the housekeeper of the villa. Just call me Zhang San."

Zhang San said this in a neither humble nor arrogant manner, and then he turned aside and said, "Please follow me, my guests!"

"Thank you!"

Yan Chixia bowed, still very polite. He was very advanced in Taoism, rare in the world, and had a pair of very vicious eyes. Although the old man tried to hide it, in his eyes, it was like a dormant volcano. If it didn't move, it would be fine. But if it moved, it would be like a rock breaking. He estimated that it would take at least two punches to knock him down!
"please……"

Zhang San set off, leading Yan Chixia and the other two in through the middle gate. Along the way, he emphasized several major buildings and hinted at some rules.

Soon, they arrived at the main hall for receiving guests, where maids were already waiting there, having prepared tea, fruits, snacks and other treats.

Zhang San said, "Guests, please take a rest first. Dinner will be ready soon!" "Thank you."

Yan Chixia cupped her hands and thanked her.

Zhang San nodded slightly in return and invited them to take a seat. He stood aside with his hands resting on his chest. Yan Chixia did not take the lead when seeing this. He knew the rules of the wealthy and powerful families and drank his tea calmly.

Xiao Qian was used to this. The rules in the Demon Palace were much stricter than here. She picked and chose casually, picked up a piece of peach cake, and started to eat it in small bites...

Only the scholar felt a little uncomfortable, especially as they were sitting with cautious maids standing beside them. He felt as if even his breathing was suppressed!

His restlessness soon attracted Xiaoqian's attention. The mung bean cake in her hand immediately lost its fragrance. She asked with concern, "Scholar, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

She couldn't understand the scholar's stage fright, although she had such moments before, such as when she was summoned by Queen Mother Yin Yue and walked into the cold palace! But she was afraid, and this was Zhang Chuba's home. With their relationship, this was considered going home, and going home was a happy thing, so how could she feel uncomfortable!

"it's okay no problem……"

The scholar picked up the teacup to hide his embarrassment.

"Dinner should be almost ready. I'll go check it out."

After Zhang San finished speaking, he turned around, waved his hand, and left with the maids.

"call……"

Only after they walked away did the scholar let out a long breath and relax.

Yan Chixia smiled and said, "Scholar, you will be an official in the future, so you must learn to get used to it..."

"I will try my best……"

The scholar smiled bitterly, but when he thought about being like an ordinary person, he felt uncomfortable again!

"What's wrong with being a scholar?"

Xiaoqian asked curiously!
"Nothing, I might have been sitting in the carriage for too long and I feel a little uncomfortable!"

The scholar avoided the main issue and did not want Xiaoqian to be polluted. He shook his body and looked very uncomfortable.

"Oh……"

"Then I'll give you a massage..."

Xiao Qian did not doubt him. When she heard that he was uncomfortable, she immediately stood up and came behind him. She massaged his shoulders attentively and asked, "How is it? Are you comfortable?"

"Well, it's comfortable..."

The scholar naturally would not say anything else. Of course, he felt comfortable. That soft little hand came from his beloved woman. No one would say that he was uncomfortable. He felt relaxed both physically and mentally. He gradually enjoyed it and threw away all the unnecessary thoughts.

Yan Chixia looked at them and couldn't help laughing, but in his heart he thought of Sima Sanniang. They were like this before, loving each other...

"I wonder how Sanniang is doing?"

He closed his eyes silently, worried.

Sima Sanniang sent a message last night, saying that Yan Hongye was found, but her condition was very bad. It was just as Zhang Chuba said, and now the only thing on her mind was to eliminate demons. It was because of this that she killed every demon she met, causing panic among the people and spreading the name of the White-haired Witch. Only then did Sima Sanniang find a clue to follow, and together with Zhuge Liuyun who came to meet her, they tracked her down and finally succeeded in finding her.

However, Yan Hongye saw that Zhuge Liuyun was half human, half demon, and determined that he was a monster, and was determined to kill him!

As stated in the letter, Zhuge Liuyun learned of his life experience in Panlong Valley, but he also escaped death. He met a woman who called herself Queen Mother Yin Yue, who came to avenge his mother Lan Mo. In order to stop Queen Mother Yin Yue, he was almost beaten to death. In the end, Lan Mo went crazy for her son and forcibly broke the seal and risked her life to repel Queen Mother Yin Yue. Afterwards, she gave her own magic pill to Zhuge Liuyun and saved him. He turned a disaster into a blessing, and completely merged the human and demon bloodlines, releasing amazing potential. After digesting Lan Mo's magic pill, his cultivation improved by leaps and bounds, and he successfully broke into the realm of Yin God!

But even so, the two of them were still no match for Yan Hongye when they joined forces. Fortunately, at the critical moment, Yan Hongye's injury relapsed and he left in a hurry, but he also left a message that he would definitely come back to kill Zhuge Liuyun. It was a blessing in disguise!
