one person's life

Chapter 263 Zhuge Banxian'er from another world

The illusion of the Heavenly Emperor's spirit has undergone earth-shaking changes at this moment. The misty smoke and clouds around him have become thin and transparent, the fairy music in his ears has gradually stopped, and the surrounding environment has begun to become clearer and brighter.

This is a quaint long street compacted by loess and stone bricks. There are scattered Chinese-style buildings on both sides of the street. The sun is warm outside and the sky is bright and clear. However, there is a full moon hanging strangely in the western sky. At noon, the sun is shining brightly. Under the light, the full moon was dim, like a round white piece of paper suspended in the sky.

On the low buildings on both sides of the street, spherical lanterns resembling a full moon were hung. The outside of the lanterns was covered with white paper paste. For some reason, there was a bit of dark green in the lanterns, which seemed to be the color of the candles inside.

Apart from Zhuge Cheng and Tang Muzhi standing one behind the other on this street, there are people dressed in ancient costumes coming and going, traffickers, actors, officials, peasant women and children, or wearing linen shorts, cloaks and waistcoats, coming and going from the narrow street. Coming and going, the crowds are turbulent, completely a scene of an ancient market.

"This is……"

Tang Muzhi saw Zhuge Gong who was also astonished. He moved to a stall next to him, picked up a black Nuo opera mask and looked at it. The vendor on the stall greeted him enthusiastically:

"Sir, what do you want to see?"

Zhuge Gong asked him the price and origin of the mask without changing his expression, and then asked him where this place was.

The hawker answered fluently, this is a place called "Chahai", which is a market. Zhuge Gong was curious, but he did not ask what dynasty this was.

Tang Muzhi looked around. There were people coming and going in the market, but no one cast a strange look at him, who was different from others. Tang Muzhi lowered his head and looked carefully, only to realize that he didn't know when He has changed into a short layer of green cloth, and a black belt is tied around his waist. His hair has also changed into the look of ancient people, with a bun, as if he suddenly ran to the film and television city and became a cast member of an ancient drama. The extras are equally unremarkable.

Zhuge Gong in front of him didn't know whether it was true or not, and turned a blind eye to Tang Muzhi. The two of them strolled around from the north to the south, and saw that the desolate land outside the market was very different from the bustling scene inside the market.

For a moment, he couldn't see anything in all directions. After walking around in circles, Tang Muzhi turned back to "Chahai". This time he met Zhuge Gong, and the two of them spoke to each other.

"Old Tang, are you real or fake?"

"I was just about to ask you."

The two smiled knowingly.Zhuge Gong asked: "It seems that you have also met the 'Daochang Liu' from before, and you haven't listened to him yet."

Tang Muzhi: "Yes, he seems to be deliberately inducing me to leave this illusion."

Zhuge Cheng touched his chin, squinted his eyes and said: "About that 'Liu Daochang', I was wondering if he was one of the three monkeys. After I left, I obviously heard him making a monkey cry. I turned to catch him, but No trace."

"Is there such a thing? I didn't pay attention. I just think his rhetoric is illogical."

Zhuge Gong crossed his arms and looked around "Cha Hai". It had been a while since the illusion changed, the sun had set, and the full moon that had been hanging in the sky gradually began to emit a quiet fluorescence.

"I've been wandering around and haven't found any way to break the situation. Let's make peace with it now. Brother Tang, let's go have a drink?"

Zhuge Gong suggested.Tang Muzhi waved his hand and said: "But we have no money. We can't have Overlord's meal, right?"

Zhuge Gong chuckled, and Yun Danfeng gently took out some broken silver from his pocket, "I'll treat you to this meal!"

Tang Muzhi asked in astonishment: "Huh? Where did you get the money?"

"The mountain man has his own clever plan." Zhuge Gong said in a very disgusting way.

So the two of them found a tavern near the market and booked a seat on the second floor. Before the food and drinks were served, a fat-headed, big-eared, rosy-faced, middle-aged man in luxurious clothes came from the next door. It was like a merchant from outside this place. He respectfully ran up to Zhuge Gong and sang a song, saying:
"Mr. Zhuge, half-immortal Zhuge. We meet again by chance!"

Tang Muzhi smiled softly, and his guess was indeed right. Zhuge Gong, an old boy, must have gone to tell people's fortunes in the afternoon. Otherwise, he would have been here for the first time, and he would not have the money to treat him to a drink.

Zhuge Gong greeted him with a smile: "Boss Huo, we are destined to meet each other this time, but it may not be the case the second time."

The merchant surnamed Huo showed a surprised expression on his face: "Zhuge Banxian is really good at predicting things! If so, I won't hide it from you. I missed two people with you this afternoon, but I didn't expect to be discovered by you. After a while The wine is here, I will punish myself with three glasses of apology!"

Zhuge Gong waved his hand and said: "Boss Huo is serious, please let me know if you have anything. I will naturally not refuse if I can help."

Boss Huo beamed with joy, took out a few taels of silver from his wallet and threw it to the waiter, "In this case, Huo has the audacity to take a seat. Who is this master?"

"Expert" naturally refers to Tang Muzhi. Zhuge Gong pursed his lips and smiled. The man named Huo was really right. He was "high" enough.

"Farmers in the fields don't know a single Chinese character. You two can just chat." Tang Muzhi replied.

Boss Huo had a half-smiling look on his face, thinking that this Juechen born person with a calm and reserved look seemed to be another character like Zhuge Banxian. Fuyuan must be grasped well.

Boss Huo did not explain his purpose, but started chatting with Zhuge Gong.From their conversation, Tang Muzhi learned about the process of the two people meeting and becoming attached.

It turned out that Zhuge Gong walked along the market for a while and found that the place was indeed not small, so he had no intention of leaving anymore. It would be a pity not to experience ancient life in such a real illusion.

However, although there were many places to eat, drink and have fun here, he didn't have half a penny in his pocket, so he borrowed a writing brush, marked it with the banner of his ancestors, and wrote on the ground: "With a snap of your fingers, you can count all the heaven and earth, and the fortune of the official will be equal to ten taels." "

This sky-high asking price certainly attracted the attention of many people who came and went, and it was Boss Huo who bore the brunt of his dissatisfaction.Boss Huo didn't even ask him what he was talking about. Instead, he asked Zhuge Gong how much the pawnshop's turnover was today.
Unexpectedly, Zhuge Gong reported a number without thinking. Of course Boss Huo didn't believe it. He had just seen Zhuge Gong coming from a distance and looked around to find a place to write before writing. If he hadn't stared at it all day, how would he know about the pawn shop? How much is the running water?Besides, this is a shady shop. Not only does it deceive people, but it also secretly collects stolen goods. He often comes to Chahai to do business, so he is well-known.

Boss Huo then sent his men to ask, but he was beaten out by the boss with a stick. He was also yelling something like, "How dare you come to check my account if you are not a subordinate of the Yamen". Only then did Boss Huo know that he had done it. It was a stupid thing to do, so I gave him a small amount of money to settle the matter, and finally asked the boss to report the number casually.

Unexpectedly, the number was exactly what Zhuge Gong said. Now Boss Huo stopped looking for trouble. He took out the money and asked a few more ways to make money. He felt that he had benefited a lot and called Zhuge Gong a "half-immortal." ".
