I played the world alone

Chapter 467 You are still sensible (two-in-one)

But on the way back, Lu Chen discovered something unexpected.

Yesterday's haunting incident was not completely without impact, at least some people still cared about it.

For example, at this moment, he noticed that a news was starting to spread - someone was going to distribute food and porridge to the victims outside!

After hearing the news, he was not in a hurry to leave. He landed and took a closer look.

The results came soon.

"I heard that it was because of the incident last night!" A waiter in the teahouse introduced it to several guests in a confident but mysterious manner.

The guests are also very interested in this kind of thing, and they all join in and ask curious questions.

"Is it something that was haunted last night?"

"Isn't that right!" The man clapped his hands and nodded repeatedly, "Do you think that even the current emperor is afraid of ghosts, let alone us common people?"

"Among the people who encountered strange things last night, there were several from wealthy families, and one was a young master. He was frightened and lost his mind when he was having fun in the middle of the night. He was called back by someone calling his soul."

He lowered his voice a little more and pretended to have a weird tone: "I heard that when he was found, he was naked and he was shouting that he wanted to drink milk..."

"Hahaha!" Several guests laughed and rewarded them with a few copper coins.

Although they don't have much money themselves, it doesn't stop them from enjoying watching the fun, especially the embarrassments of rich people, whether they are true or false.

"When this happened, their family members began to wonder if they had done a lot of bad things, which was why they were getting retribution. They wanted to join forces with a few others to do some good deeds."

"Isn't there just a lot of beggars who have fled outside? It just comes in handy."

Several guests couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect that this haunting would be a good thing for those people."

But then he asked curiously: "Speaking of which, are those things last night true?"

The waiter shook his head with a cryptic look on his face: "I don't dare to say this, and I can't say it. I'm afraid I'll be in trouble."

This aroused the interest of several guests, and after giving him a few more coins, he told a ghost story in a long tone.

I have to say that this guy's eloquence is pretty good, and he might be able to become a storyteller in the future.

……

By the time Lu Chen returned to the ruined temple, several other beggars had already left to look for food.

In their eyes, he, an old beggar, could not move even after working three days a day. He was probably too hungry to walk, so he simply lay down and waited to die.

They didn't have any sympathy for this. Instead, they felt a little gloating about their misfortune. They felt that without a competitor to compete with them for food, their chances of survival would be greater.

As for the two children outside who had been talking about practicing spells since yesterday, they were naturally classified as crazy and eliminated.

Two more competitors missing!

Lu Chen got up and stretched.

"Yes, I have already reached the third level of Qi training."

The speed of this cultivation is no different from flying on an airplane.

Of course, it has a lot to do with the fact that there is enough spiritual energy and fresh meat in his own little world, and even the replenishment of sufficient elixirs every year.

Otherwise, with this almost decayed body and the relatively thin spiritual energy in the real world, the time would have to be extended at least ten times.

Continuing to silently move towards the fourth floor of Qi training, he called out to the two people who were practicing hard outside.

Although it was only noon, the two children were already sweating profusely, their faces were pale, and they had thick dark circles under their eyes. At first glance, they showed a serious lack of energy and energy. Some people who didn't know it thought they had kidney deficiency.

Lu Chen knew at a glance that this was the sequelae of continuous high-intensity practice of magic.

Not too worried though.

Because at first glance it seems like it is harmful to the body, but in fact it is laying the foundation for the future, and the situation will only get better and better.

But we still have to eat.

"Get ready for dinner."

The two children were already hungry and were waiting for this sentence. When they heard it, their eyes immediately lit up and they ran over without hesitation.

Their mouths almost watered when they saw the same or even richer dishes on the floor that were delicious, tasty and delicious.

But at least he was still polite. He greeted me respectfully, and after getting permission, he couldn't wait to start eating.

No matter how much you eat, these dishes are so delicious that you never get tired of them!

"The Immortal..."

While her younger brother Mingyue was chewing on the chicken drumstick in her hand, she couldn't help but curiously asked: "When will we succeed in learning?"

"The two of us have been practicing for a day, but there are still no results."

"It's the same old saying from yesterday. Only by practicing hard can you achieve results." Lu Chen did not blame the other party for his eagerness for success. After all, it is understandable for children to be impatient.

"Show me your current abilities first?"

When the idea of ​​taking the exam came up, the two children did not dare to neglect, and even put down the food in their hands and started to demonstrate on their own initiative.

The effect is indeed very subtle, except for a slight breeze blowing that is almost imperceptible, there is nothing else.

Fortunately, Lu Chen didn't expect them to help him now. He just had the idea of ​​​​burying two seeds and letting nature take its course to see what they would grow into.

So under the uneasy expressions of the two people, they just gave them a few random instructions and asked them to continue eating, and then continue practicing after eating.

After finishing the meal, Lu Chen waved his hand and all the remaining plates disappeared, which made the two of them even more convinced that the other was a god and continued to practice hard.

During this period, some beggars also came back. Seeing a few of them still looking like this, they shook their heads mockingly and ignored them, and quickly left again.

However, one of them, perhaps because of his guilty conscience, whispered a reminder at the door: "There will be porridge at the gate of Yongzhou City at noon tomorrow. Don't miss it."

After saying that, he was pulled away by his companions with some dissatisfaction. Hearing the voices gradually fading away, they seemed to be complaining about why the news should be revealed.

After all, one more person means more competition.

"Those rich people don't really spend all their money to do good deeds. The food they put out must be limited. What if there are too many people and we can't share it..."

The person who spoke seemed to have some regrets, but he couldn't regret having said everything. He could only comfort himself as an old man and two children, and he wouldn't waste much food.

They didn't shy away from talking. For example, Qingfeng Mingyue at the door happened to hear them, and made a face after they walked away.

"We have so much delicious food, we are not afraid of being hungry at all. Who would care about porridge with sand in it?"

"That's right, let them snatch it away..."

While the two were talking, they suddenly heard the old god's faint voice coming from the ruined temple behind them: "Let's go to Yongzhou City tomorrow."

The two were immediately dumbfounded.

... The night is getting darker.

The governor, Yu Hongyan, had just returned from drinking outside. His face was red and he smelled of alcohol.

The concubine who had been taken in not long ago hurriedly came to help her, and at the same time, the maids brought the prepared hangover decoction.

Yu Hongyan took a sip of the soup and felt a warm feeling in his heart. The original feeling of vomiting that went straight into his throat was relieved a lot.

"Well done, I'll sleep in your room tonight."

The concubine suddenly felt ashamed and happy, but fortunately she didn't waste her efforts.

He was thinking in his heart that if he could get pregnant with the master's son and a daughter as soon as possible, then his position in the house would be stabilized.

Now I am only temporarily favored because of my youth and beauty. If the master gets tired of it after some time, then my end will be miserable.

Yu Hongyan squinted his eyes, and after a little adaptation to the changed environment, he looked at the dark sky outside, and for some reason, the strange rumors he heard during the day suddenly came to mind.

"Xiaoyun, have you heard about those weird things yesterday?"

The concubine named Xiaoyun was startled, nodded, and said with a charming smile:

"I have heard some, but I also heard that most of them are just nonsense. I think it is probably someone who is pretending to be a ghost behind the scenes to scare people."

"With such a wise and powerful father and mother here, how can there be any injustice or ghosts here?"

"I think so too." Yu Hongyan nodded, feeling quite comfortable with the other party's flattery, but then his face darkened again, "It's just that the Zhang family and the Shi family didn't think so. I also plan to give porridge tomorrow to do good deeds and accumulate virtue..."

He slapped the table, making the concubine next to him tremble.

"Isn't this saying that I have improper governance? This is really unreasonable! It seems that I have been too talkative during this period, so they all had other ideas..."

"Perhaps what happened this time was deliberately caused by them, just to make me lose face!"

The more he talked, the more he thought it was possible, and the angrier he became. He coughed several times in excitement, and the concubine hurriedly stepped forward to flatter him and patted her on the back to calm her down.

"Master, don't get angry because of these unscrupulous people. It's not worth it."

"It's better to rest early and talk about these things tomorrow. Master, you can use whatever means you want, and they won't dare to disobey."

"It makes sense, Xiaoyun, you are sensible."

Yu Hongyan calmed down, and with the help of the concubine next to him, he slowly got up and walked towards the room.

But at this moment, he suddenly noticed that all the lanterns outside had been extinguished at some point, and the entire mansion, except the living room, was plunged into darkness.

Even the servants who were supposed to be on hand at all times were nowhere to be seen, and even after calling several times there was no response.

Yu Hongyan immediately slapped the armrest of the chair angrily, his face turned red with anger: "You bastard! I am still the local governor! How dare they be so negligent! I will replace them all tomorrow!"

The concubine hurriedly comforted her twice, not daring to say anything more. She could only comfort her: "Master, don't worry, Xiaoyun is here. Xiaoyun will call for someone right away. Just wait here for a while."

After that, she hurried out, fearing that she would be wasted time and make the master angry, and she might suffer in the evening.

Yu Hongyan closed his eyes and waited, but no one came back after waiting for a long time. He couldn't help opening his eyes again, becoming more and more confused.

"Where are the people? They've all run away?!"

He cursed angrily and slammed the table twice, but there was still silence around him, with no response.

There were no sounds of humans, birds, animals, or insects.

It was as if he was the only one left in the world at the moment!

"Gudong..."

As the cold wind blew, the original drunkenness gradually subsided. He finally reacted belatedly and swallowed. Looking at the darkness outside, he felt more and more that something was wrong.

There are at least hundreds of people in his house, including maids, guards, several concubines and children he married. How could they all be missing?

Even Xiaoyun just now is gone.

Thinking of the strange things last night, he became increasingly uneasy.

At this moment, he suddenly saw a vague figure floating out of the darkness outside the hall, until it became more and more obvious. It seemed that the other person was approaching step by step, and had even reached the door, some distance away from the room. The pearl is only one step away.

"Who? Xiaoyun?!"

Yu Hongyan tried to shout with a trembling voice, but no matter how he looked at it, the figure of the other party had nothing to do with the petite concubine just now.

On the contrary, the figure was particularly familiar, reminding him vaguely of a person he had almost forgotten.

His real wife!

A man who died ten years ago.

There was also a time when he was extremely powerful because of the powerful family behind him, which made him breathless at that time, and he did not dare to mess around with others.

Before he died, he once said that he would not renew his relationship for the other party and that he would raise their children well.

But less than a month later, he immediately married two concubines one after another and enjoyed themselves to the fullest.

Although he didn't dare to correct the situation because he had to borrow the power of the other family, from now on, there was no shortage of shengxiao and flute every night, and he couldn't tell how happy he was.

To this day, he had almost forgotten what the other party looked like, but now he suddenly recalled it inexplicably.

The long-lost shadow resurfaced in his mind, but he also knew that this should be impossible.

The other party's body is probably only bones left!

However, there was an inexplicable voice in his heart telling him that it was that person...

"who is it!"

In fear, he shouted out loud.

"It's me……"

A cold and extremely familiar female voice came from the black figure, making Yu Hongyan's eyes widen in an instant, with a look of horror on his face.

This voice is exactly that of his wife!

"you……"

Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly saw the dark figure leaning forward and leaning her upper body forward, revealing her true appearance in the candlelight.

It was a face as pale as a corpse, and some of the skin had rotted away, with maggots crawling and squirming on it.

His pupils shrank suddenly, and he turned over to the table and chair next to him in excitement. He almost fell to the ground, but he still moved his hands and feet behind him in fear.

"No no no..."

"Ms. sir... I'm back to see you. Do you still remember what you promised me?"

The woman tilted her head slightly, showing a weird and charming smile.
