homecoming

Tang Fei just dodged a few suspicious people when two more officials approached him. He looked down at his messy clothes and immediately dodged into the alley next to him.With his current appearance, he must be very similar to a prisoner who escaped from prison.

Tang Fei just woke up this morning, and before he had time to go out to let the person who should be the hotel waiter help him get some water to wash his face, he heard a thick male voice from downstairs.Tang Fei's habit of vigilance developed over the years made him pay attention, and secretly looked downstairs through the guardrail on the second floor.Two people in brown-red clothes held a portrait and asked the boss if he had seen it before. Tang Fei recognized their clothes, and the Fengxi Pavilion guards were dressed in this way.These people must have come to catch him!

Tang Fei immediately went back to his room and bolted the door, then opened the broken window and looked down. It was not high, probably no higher than three meters.For safety's sake, Tang Fei threw down the torn quilt and blanket for cushioning, and then jumped down.The place where Tang Fei jumped was the back door of the inn. There were several barrels of slop, and a person pouring slop stopped what he was doing and looked at him stupidly.

Tang Fei glanced at him in embarrassment, and then quickly left here.This is the most embarrassing time in his life, right?Even when hiding from the victim's spit and stones and eggs, he was never in such a mess.

Tang Fei didn't dare to go out on the main road, so he could only walk through remote alleys.I looked up at the fiery red sun, it should have been twelve o'clock, right?Tang Fei didn't care whether the ground was dirty or not, he sat down on his buttocks, leaning against the mud wall and panting violently.He is extremely thirsty now, his stomach is starting to be hungry, his head is also aching, and he has a slight heat stroke.He couldn't go any further, and before he could find the way to the Taoist temple, he had already collapsed and was captured by Feng Chenying.

With a "creak", the wooden door of a small courtyard opposite was suddenly opened, and Tang Fei looked over.

"Ah!" The person who came out exclaimed and almost dropped the basket in his hand on the ground.What came out was a little woman, petite and pretty, looking at Tang Fei who was sitting upside down opposite her house with a look of fear.

"Excuse me...cough cough," Tang Fei, who had been walking all morning, had a dry mouth and a dry voice. He coughed twice before continuing, "Can you pour me a glass of water? Can I Your silver."

"Water, water?" The little woman calmed down, with a little fear in her eyes, but she was not as vigilant as before.She looked at Tang Fei with curiosity and inquiry, would this dirty and down-and-out person have any money?

"Shui, it's best to bring me some food, and I'll pay you taels." Tang Fei looked at her coldly, and then took out a broken silver from the money bag in his arms.He didn't dare to take out the whole money bag, he was very weak now, if this woman took advantage of the money, it would cause him trouble.

As soon as the woman saw the broken silver, she immediately smiled, nodded and said, "You wait here, I'll get it for you right away." Then she hurried back.

After a while, she came out again with the basket just now. There was a bowl of water and two big steamed buns in the basket.

Tang Fei knew that these things were not even worth two copper coins, but he still gave her the broken silver in his hand.Now he needs energy more than inedible gold, silver and jewels.

With the bowl of clear water, Tang Fei gobbled up two steamed buns. The woman was dumbfounded, but kindly reminded him to be careful of choking.

After eating, Tang Fei finally regained some strength and felt better, then asked the woman who was cleaning the dishes.

"Excuse me, how can I get to the Taoist temple where the national teacher cultivates from here?"

"The Taoist temple of the national teacher?" The woman put the dishes into the basket, thought for a while and said: "Is it Shangxing Building? This is going out of the city. You should go in, walk to the foot of the imperial city, and walk along the road. Walk about sixty miles to the right along the city wall, and you will see it. It is a five-story tower, which is easy to see."

It turned out that he had gone the wrong way, so he had to go back. "Thank you." Tang Fei thanked him. Feeling that he had almost rested, he stood up and walked back along the road.

"What a strange person." The woman looked strangely at Tang Fei who had left. The man's clothes were messy, but one could tell that the material was of high quality. He is well-mannered and well rested, not like a countryman.Could it be the unruly young master?

The farther you go to the imperial city, the fewer folk alleys there are. There are many Washington houses on both sides, and there are few old small courtyards and winding alleys like those near the city.This made Tang Fei's search more difficult. It was still early in the day, and he would be easily exposed if he went out like this, so he couldn't take risks.After thinking about it, Tang Fei decided to wait until after dark before leaving.I sat down in a small alley with no pedestrians and closed my eyes to rest my mind, but not long after I closed my eyes, a few dark clouds suddenly floated in the sunny sky, and the rain began to rain with a thunderbolt.It's really June weather is a child's face - get quick!

A wry smile appeared on the corner of Tang Fei's mouth, his whole body was soaked through.The roads here are all paved with bluestone slabs on top of solid soil, and when it rains, the ground will emit yellow slurry. Not only is Tang Fei completely soaked, his clothes are also stained with yellow mud, making it extremely filthy.Even so, Tang Fei still sat on the ground, not because he didn't want to get up, but because he was exhausted.From last night until now, he ate two steamed buns and drank a bowl of water, which is unbearable even for a man.After a long time, the rain gradually stopped and the sky darkened.

Opening his eyes, icy raindrops slid down his pale cheeks. Standing up, Tang Fei walked forward slowly while supporting the wall.

The night market here is more lively than during the day.The lights are like daytime, and there are many pedestrians, there are so many hawking stalls, and the restaurants and restaurants are full of voices.Tang Fei used his little historical knowledge to guess that this place was probably the Song Dynasty, because according to historical records, only the Song Dynasty had such a bustling nightlife, and it couldn't even compare to it in the heyday of the Tang Dynasty.

His soul was actually transferred to the Song Dynasty!

Because this market street was busier than during the day, Tang Fei didn't want to hide back this time, so he could only bite the bullet and go out in muddy clothes, but he tried his best to avoid pedestrians.

In fact, Tang Fei was too worried. No one would even glance at him with his attire.No matter what dynasty, no matter how prosperous or rich it is, there must be such a special group, that is, beggars.There are still quite a few people dressed like Tang Fei in this once-dynasty capital. The residents of the capital are no longer surprised by it. How could they pay attention to Tang Fei?

So this journey, he was surprisingly smooth.Although he was not familiar with this place at all, Tang Fei found the way to Shangxing Building with his extraordinary observation skills. As long as he walked to the place with many Zhumen compound, he would definitely find the location of the imperial city.

It's a pity that Tang Fei still overestimated his ability. The terrain here is too complicated and the layout is similar, so he got lost again.

Compared with the place near the market, Tang Fei's current location is much quieter and darker, and pedestrians are even rarer.In a high-end residential area like this, the general environment and sound insulation are very good.

Just as Tang Fei was running around in a hurry, a man walked over with a big red lantern, humming a nondescript tune.It seems that they are going to the market to join in the fun.

Tang Fei hid in the dark, his upright starry eyes were now looking at the pedestrian with a cold light.

As soon as the man passed by Tang Fei, Tang Fei ran behind him as fast as he could, grabbed his neck and pulled him into the shadows, saying ruthlessly, "If you don't want to die, don't make a sound!" This is the second time he has done such a thing, and he is already familiar with it.Besides, this person is a man, he doesn't have too many scruples, and the strength of his hands is several times stronger than before.

"Strong man! You have something to say!" This man was obviously a life-saver, but he begged for mercy instinctively.

"Shut up!" Tang Fei sternly shouted.

"Oh!" The man immediately covered his mouth with his hands.

"Will you go to Shangxing Tower? If you do, nod your head, if you don't, shake your head." Tang Fei lowered his head and whispered in his ear.

A gleam flashed in the man's eyes, and he nodded quickly.

"Very good, now, you lead the way right away! If you dare to play tricks, I'll break your neck right away!" Tang Fei threatened fiercely, and squeezed his neck hard on purpose.

The man nodded in fright, indicating that he knew.

Although Tang Fei is a vicious person, he only cares about money and has no so-called professional ethics, but if he really wants to do something that hurts people's lives, he really can't do it.Not only because he still has a little conscience left, but also the biggest reason is that he is dizzy with blood.The kind that bleeds.So he only scares others. If this person really doesn't know the way, he will let him go, but he has to make him dizzy first.

After walking on the dark road for a long time, Tang Fei heard the "hostage" say in a mosquito-sized voice, "This is Shangxing Building."

Tang Fei has been focusing on guarding against this person and didn't pay much attention to the road, but he also knows that he must not have passed the walls of the imperial city!

"Dare to lie to me, you don't want your life!" Tang Fei said harshly.

"T-really! Look up, it's on the fifth floor!" The man's voice was a little depressed, but he couldn't tell that he was afraid at all.

Tang Fei looked up and saw that it was indeed the five-storey building that the woman described, and the dim candlelight leaked from the building, giving it a majestic appearance.At this moment of distraction, Tang Fei's feet hurt, and he subconsciously let go, and the "hostage" slipped away without a trace.

"Tch!" Tang Fei stomped the trampled foot, then walked down the long stone steps to Shangxing Building.He wants to let the national teacher send him back to modern times before the man reports to the government!

When Tang Fei walked to the door, he looked up and saw a magnificent stone carving with the words "Shangxing Tower" engraved on it.Looking at the wide open door, Tang Fei walked in with candles flickering inside.There were three futons in the large hall. In front of the futons was an altar, which was filled with offerings. In front of the altar were the golden bodies of three Taoist immortals. Tang Fei, who had never believed in any of them, did not know any of them.However, there was a pleasant smell of sandalwood everywhere, which made Tang Fei's tense nerves relax a little bit.

Tang Fei walked around the altar and walked back. There was nothing behind, only a long wooden ladder leading to the second floor.Tang Fei, who was eager to go back, went up without even thinking about it. Even if it was a dragon's pool and a tiger's den, he would break through it. As long as there was even the slightest chance to go back, he would not let it go!

The second floor is more spacious than the first floor, and there is a huge bronze tripod in the middle. Many characters Tang Fei can't understand are engraved on the tripod body, as well as characters and beasts that Tang Fei doesn't know either.Each of the three ears on the side of the tripod is wrapped around an arm-thick iron chain, and the end of the iron chain is pulled all the way to the wall, where it is hung high and fixed in the wall.Smoke was rising from the bronze cauldron, Tang Fei was a little curious, could this be the legendary alchemy furnace?

Just as Tang Fei was observing the smoking bronze tripod curiously, a clear male voice came from behind.

"Who are you? What is the so-called place where you come to practice?"

Tang Fei turned around suddenly, and a handsome and gentle man who was half a head shorter than Tang Fei and slightly thinner was looking at him with a smile on his face. It might be because of the man's unique serene temperament that Tang Fei could not feel the other party's malice.

"I... Excuse me, are you the national teacher?" Tang Fei observed the other party secretly with vigilance, always feeling that this person had a very strange feeling, but he couldn't tell what was so strange.

"That's right, this seat is Huang Ye's national teacher, and his Tao name is Tianxing." The national teacher Tianxing still smiled lightly, with a dusty temperament, and the wide dark gray Taoist robe on him gave him a feeling of immortality.

Tang Fei finally breathed a sigh of relief, showing his first smile since coming here.

"National Teacher, it's great to find you! I want to ask for your help!" Tang Fei hurriedly walked towards Tianxing, but suddenly stopped five steps away from him, the smile on his face froze, and his expression was weird. pole. "you......"

"What's the matter? If you have anything to say, the benefactor, you can tell me directly. I will help you wherever I can." Although Tian Xing was puzzled, he still had a calm smile on his face.

"You're not a national teacher, who the hell are you!" Tang Fei stepped back suddenly, looking at Tian Xing coldly.

Tian Xing was taken aback for a moment, and then said innocently: "This seat is the national teacher..."

"Don't lie, you still have my fingerprints on your neck!" Tang Fei sneered, and there were several red and swollen fingerprints on Tianxing's neck. He was the hostage Tang Fei held just now!He still had bruises on his neck from being pinched by Tang Fei, no wonder he thought this person was strange!

"..." Tianxing looked at Tang Fei helplessly, and then said with a wry smile, "Should I be so careful? But—" Tianxing's face suddenly changed into a hippie smiling face. The temperament is gone! "I'm really a teacher of the state! I never lie!" He is a cultivator, so he must not speak lies or make tongue-tied tongue!

"Are you really the national teacher?" Tang Fei still had doubts on his face.

"If it's true, otherwise, how could I be so familiar with the way here and bypass the imperial city?" Tian Xing spread his hands.

"Then why didn't you say it just now!" Tang Fei still didn't believe it, this person looked too suspicious!

"Please, you said at the time that you wanted to save your life so please keep quiet and let me nod and shake my head, what should I say?" Tian Xing pouted helplessly.

It seems, that's right... Tang Fei still didn't fully believe it, but when he asked the next question, Tian Xing stepped into his waist and shouted: "Forget it! I don't care if you believe it or not! Since you don't believe it I'll go upstairs and get a good night's sleep! Anyway, no one here can help you, believe it or not!" After saying that, she turned her head and left.

"Wait!" Tang Fei called him, and Tianxing, who had his back turned to him, raised the corners of his mouth and showed a sinister smile with white teeth.

"I believe you..." Tang Fei had no choice but to treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor. Judging by his appearance, he must also know some Taoism.

Tianxing put away her sinister smile and turned around kindly: "That's right, I never lie, you have to trust me, just tell me if you have anything to say!"

"Uh, are you good at Taoism?" Tang Fei asked hesitantly.

"Huh?" What kind of question is this called? "Of course it's amazing! This seat has the highest cultivation level among the previous national teachers!" Tian Xing thrust his waist, with a dissatisfied expression on his face, daring to question his ability! "Hmph, look!" Going ahead, Tianxing drew a talisman in the air with both hands, and then a paper crane made out of talisman flew up from downstairs, and finally landed on his shoulder .Tianxing said proudly: "See, I can even summon shikigami!"

Tang Fei was dumbfounded, he, he really has spells!

"Please help me! I want to go back!" Tang Fei ran to Tianxing and said excitedly, grabbing his shoulder.

"Wait a minute, go back? Where to go?" Tianxing interrupted the excited Tang Fei.

"Go back to my world! I'm not from here!" Tang Fei continued to say excitedly, and then, under Tianxing's doubts, he told his experience in detail without missing a single bit.In the past, Tang Fei would never have made such a mistake, at least he would not tell the truth until the doubts in his heart were completely eliminated.But now Tang Fei is too restless and anxious, seeing Tianxing is really so powerful, it's like grabbing a life-saving straw, and he won't let go.

"So, I want to borrow your ability to help me lead my soul back to my world, and exchange it with the original owner of this body!"

After Tang Fei finished speaking, it was Tianxing's turn to be dumbfounded.

"You, what you said is true? There is no falsehood at all?" Tianxing stared blankly at Tang Fei's face and asked.

"No lie!" Tang Fei's face was serious.

Tian Xing was stunned for a while, remembering that ten days ago he found a slight change in the constellation map, and he didn't pay much attention to it just because there was no abnormal phenomenon in the sky.But thinking about it now... Tian Xing immediately pinched his fingers for a while, his face changed, and he immediately asked excitedly: "Your birth date!"

Birthday horoscope?Tang Fei looked at the obviously excited Tianxing. He knew his birth date, but he couldn't convert it into the calendar here, so he didn't know either. "Uh, dragon, just turned 27 years old..."

Tian Xing looked up at him, remembered that he was not from here and did not blame him, and asked, "What about this body?"

"...I don't know..." Tang Fei looked annoyed, if he had known about it, he would have asked You'er!

Tian Xing shook the corner of his mouth, and sighed helplessly: "Forget it, don't worry, anyway, this matter is not so easy, and there are many things to prepare. As for the life history of this body..." Tian Xing looked He glanced at Tang Fei, then turned around and shouted downstairs: "You can't come up if you hear everything clearly!"

Tang Fei was a little depressed when he heard that this matter was not easy. He knew it would not be so simple. When Tianxing called him, he thought it was his disciple or something, because there are three Taoist priests here according to legend.

But as soon as the person came up, Tang Fei's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief.There was only one thought in his mind, and that was—to escape!
