Chapter 87

It was night, and there were basically no people on the streets of Wangcheng after dark, and those who set up stalls to do business withdrew their stalls early, unlike Chaofeng Country and Great Cold Country, where night stalls would be open late at night.

After nightfall, the streets were completely silent, so quiet that not even the cries of insects were heard.

In fact, Sheng Wan didn't feel much sleepiness, he tossed and turned on the bed for a long time before falling asleep in a daze.

In the middle of the night, wisps of black mist slowly rose above the street.

The black mist is just like fog, but it stays at a very low position.

All of a sudden, the black mist rushed towards the inn as if attracted by something, this kind of surge was not like a rising tide, but strand by strand, towards the inn.

The black mist was very purposeful. It flew across the corridor quickly, stopped in front of a room door for a few seconds, and then, as if confirming something, rushed in through the almost non-existent door crack.

Sheng Hou, who was sleeping, didn't notice that there was a large black fog gathering in her room, and even the vigilant little fox slept soundly.

The black mist surged together, becoming more and more dense, and suddenly, an arm protruded from the black mist, followed by another hand, body and legs, and the face formed by it was pitch-black. , I can only see the image of a tall and straight man, but I can't tell who he is!

The human-shaped black mist slowly approached the bed, and his outstretched hand gently caressed Sheng Hou's sleeping face, with a trace of unpredictable attachment and tenderness in his movements.

But at this moment, the little fox felt a strong uneasy breath approaching, and its fox eyes suddenly opened.But he was stunned by the sight in front of him.

"Lord..." It was about to call out, when suddenly the outstretched hand rolled its body into the black mist.

The little fox's body was suspended in the black mist, and it could feel that the black mist was not malicious to it, and gradually it felt a sense of familiarity.

"Prison Lishang!"

The little fox thought of something and exclaimed.

But the black mist didn't respond to it at all. After a while, the black mist quickly dissipated, and the little fox stood on the floor of the room with disbelief in his eyes.

How could he come, how could he be alive!

Is it for the master?But he was obviously torn apart, and he was obviously dead!

Trembling deeply, the little fox couldn't help jumping onto the bed with a light leap, and lay beside Sheng Wan.

The next day Sheng Hou got up early and wanted to go shopping in the street, but someone came earlier than her and was waiting in the lobby downstairs early in the morning.

"Miss Sheng." Chu Tianlan couldn't help shouting when he saw Sheng Yu walking towards the door.

Seeing that it was him, Sheng Wan greeted him friendly, "Morning, why are you up so early?"

"Hehe, I'm afraid you're not used to living here, so come and have a look." Chu Tianlan's tone was very concerned.

Sheng Wan looked at him with a smile, "Let's have breakfast together, I wonder what kind of breakfast you have here?"

"Like other countries, because my family was a nomad before, after establishing the country, I learned a lot from other countries, including planting, breeding, construction and some cultures. Most of the food is the same as there, mainly pasta." Chu Tian Lan explained to Sheng Hou patiently.

Sheng Wan nodded, "It is commendable to know how to learn from others' strengths, but some things are not suitable for you here, so you need to choose and adapt."

After breakfast, Sheng Wan, accompanied by Chu Tianlan, went to find several bosses who bought and sold saplings.

Finally, a tree species with strong local vitality and some grasses that can survive in the desert were finalized.

The two showed that they had finalized the quantity, which made the tree seller very happy. It was the first time he had seen someone who bought this kind of ordinary saplings also buy grass seeds!

"I don't have any money, so I will leave the shopping to you." Sheng Wan said to Chu Tianlan.

Seeing Sheng Yu being so active in his country's affairs, Chu Tianlan was quite moved. Of course, everything was decided by her.

"The two of you should pay a part of the deposit first. After three days, I will prepare the tree and grass seeds, and then I will notify you." The boss who sold the saplings smiled politely.

Sheng Wan raised an eyebrow at Chu Tianlan.

Chu Tianlan immediately handed over the money knowingly, and informed the location of the inn where Sheng Wan was staying so that he could be notified.

After dealing with these matters, Sheng Wan suddenly thought, "Brother Chu, do you think the place that can produce that kind of wall plaster is far from here?"

She was really curious, what kind of magical thing was that?Why does it have such an effect?
"It's quite far away. That place is near the western foot of Xizhao Mountain. It takes two days and two nights to ride there by horse." Chu Tianlan probably guessed Sheng Hou's curiosity about that kind of wall powder.

Sheng Wan lowered her eyes in disappointment, well, she has nothing to do with that magical thing.

"Even if the distance is short, I can't take you there. The incident of swallowing people happened in that mine later, which is very strange." Chu Tianlan said quietly.

When Sheng Wan heard it, he immediately became interested, and raised his eyes and asked, "What happened to swallow people?"

"Miss Sheng, it's better not to talk about such appalling things, lest you have nightmares at night." Chu Tianlan showed worry.

Sheng Wan smiled, with a calm look, "Just listen to it, it's not a ghost story, it won't make me have nightmares."

Wouldn't the disgusting 'wet corpses' she encountered when she entered the ancestral tomb of Liu Wen's family be more frightening!

In fact, she thinks she is quite courageous.

Chu Tianlan smiled and said, "Get in the carriage first, let's talk as we walk."

"it is good."

The carriage drove slowly on a forest path outside the city.

"Actually, things are not too scary. Back then, someone took out a lot of gold from the mountain at the foot of Xizhao Mountain. Later, it was spread that there was a gold mine. At that time, officials were in charge of excavating it, but in fact it was not a gold mine. It is not a small gold mountain, and the gold mined from it is piece by piece, and if you look carefully, you can see some traces of ingots, as if they have been buried here for a long time, and they have been squeezed and deformed when they melt into the mountain!" Chu Tianlan said slowly.

Sheng Yu was startled. If this is really a golden mountain, it must be buried here by rich people. The composition of gold is very stable and not easy to change. The reason for the deformation must be squeezed by the mountain. Where is the gold buried?
"The excavation lasted for nearly half a year. At that time, in order to cast the gold into gold ingots nearby, the government built a metal smelting shed near the mine. Afterwards, everything went smoothly until the day when the gold mountain was dug to the bottom. Several absent workers fell into the underground hole during the excavation! At that time, the absent workers who went down to rescue others untied the rope tied around his waist in a short while, and the people above only pulled The rope came up, and the people who fell, including those who went down to rescue them, were never heard from again! Because of this incident, the mine stopped working for a day, and the soldiers who were in charge of search and rescue went down to investigate, and it turned out that no one was lost this time, but the two They went crazy every half a day after returning home, and even killed their family members, and then committed suicide!" Chu Tianlan said here, pausing for a while.

Sheng Wan felt goosebumps all over his body when he heard it, and asked in a murmur, "Tell me, is that Jinshan a funerary object in ancient times? You dug up other people's Jinshan, and the owner under him was unwilling, so he came to claim his life." Already!"

Chu Tianlan trembled all over.

Seeing his reaction, Sheng Wan couldn't help but ask, "What? Did you experience this at the time?"

Chu Tianlan froze for a moment, then shook his head, "No, I always dream about some weird things, and I have dreamed about this incident."

Hearing this, Sheng Yu suddenly felt that Chu Tianlan was like a magic stick. This guy has the same attributes as that kid Liu Wen. They both have prophetic dreams. Could it be that they are brothers who have been separated for many years?

"What about the final result of the mine incident? Let it go away?" Sheng Wan asked.

Chu Tianlan nodded, "After losing more than a dozen people, the officials stopped the development of the last gold mine and chose to close the mountain."

"You sent so many people there, but you didn't find out anything?" Sheng Hou asked again.

Chu Tianlan thought of something and said, "I also heard later that my father specially went to Chaofeng Kingdom to invite the current national teacher to investigate the mine for this matter, but the national teacher turned everyone away and entered the gold mine alone. It took a day and a night to get out of the mine. The next afternoon, the soldiers guarding the mine saw the national teacher covered in scars. The national teacher told his father, "This is the burial pit of the emperor's mausoleum thousands of years ago." , there was a Jinshan suppression, but the Jinshan was emptied, and the grievances leaked out of the funeral pit, and mortals who approached would turn back and die in a different place'."

"This is too evil!" Sheng Wan was speechless.She believed in the burial pit, but she didn't believe in the death of the wronged soul.

Chu Tianlan looked serious, "I've also heard the rumors in the palace about this matter, but my father didn't tell me what the truth is, and he even warned me not to ask about it again."

"Oh, it seems that the rumors may not be true." Sheng Yu suspected that there was some kind of agreement between Chu Tianlan's father and the national teacher. After all, everyone knew that there was an emperor's tomb in Xizhao Mountain. Maybe they The 'burial pit' in the mouth is not necessarily the entrance!
These are just speculations in Sheng Wan's mind, she is not very curious about the facts!
The carriage soon arrived at the inn where Sheng Hou was staying. After a busy morning, he had a delicious lunch and took a nice nap. Sheng Hou felt very relaxed physically and mentally!
At this moment, a loud noise suddenly came from outside the window.

Sheng Hou was on the fourth floor, the windows were open, and she could hear the words below clearly.

"Shopkeeper, is there a former girl here? The one who is very close to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" A sharp female voice asked.

"Girl, there are many girls who come to our store, and we don't know which girl you are talking about." The innkeeper said.

"Shopkeeper, we saw her come in with our own eyes. We saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince enter the store just now. Don't try to fool me!"

"Girl, I really don't know." The shop owner dealt innocently, but Chu Tianlan had specifically instructed him before.

"Stop talking nonsense, I won't leave today, I want to see how you can lie to the shopkeeper when the girl comes down from upstairs later!" Sheng Wan was determined not to leave.

upstairs.
