Chapter 33: Moon and East Wind Old Friends Gather
Baidie Town, as the name suggests, is named after a kind of white butterfly that is native to this place.
Wangyue Dongfeng initially started out by catching white butterflies.
However, due to excessive hunting in recent years, the number of white butterflies in Baidie Town has become less and less. Wangyue Dongfeng took this opportunity to change his career and started a restaurant business.
Han Zhi chose a seat by the window. The tea called Bishui Qingting tasted bitter, which was incompatible with the dry climate here. The people of Jin did not like to drink tea, and tea could not be grown in Jin. Even in the capital of Jin, there was not much of this stuff. It was hard to imagine how much money the boss of Wangyue Dongfeng had to spend to get this tea in a small border town.
Through the window, a group of people suddenly appeared along the street, playing music. The man in the lead had pale skin and was wearing a mask with huge white tears on the black side, which looked weird and funny.
In one hand he scattered white, round paper money, which flew in the air like dancing white butterflies. In the other he held a red lantern, the flickering flame of which flickered before his withered body. His red wedding dress was faintly visible beneath his white sash.
The people around were not surprised by this scene. Han Zhi called the waiter and asked, "Is this a wedding? Why is there no bride in the back?"
As soon as the waiter saw Han Zhi, he knew that he was of extraordinary status and said hurriedly: "It's a wedding, but not for someone else. This is to marry the Lord River God. We will pick up the bride tonight."
"River God?" If he remembered correctly, all rivers in the world, no matter which country, were governed by the water god. "Which river god?"
The waiter was stunned for a moment, obviously not understanding Han Zhi's meaning. Han Zhi thought that mortals should not know the twists and turns of the division of duties among gods. They only knew that the gods in the river were called river gods. Little did they know that there was a river god in every river and there were so many of them.
He dropped the silver and jumped to chase after him. The matter of the river god of Baidie Town getting married had nothing to do with Jiutu, but ordinary people tacitly believed that the earth god would bless any place with earth in the world. This place was very close to Jiutu, so believers in the earth god placed their prayers to the foreign god.
"stop--"
Unexpectedly, just as he was about to climb over the window to chase, a black silk thread broke through the air and slashed towards him. Han Zhi dodged sideways, but the opponent was relentless and stabbed at his shoulder blade with a sword in his left hand.
Han Zhi had been stabbed to death by a sword before, so he was still a little scared when he saw this thing. He was also afraid that he would hurt others if he fought in the inn, so he just dodged and did not attack, and fought quite restrainedly.
"Do you look down on me?" The woman wore a black gauze on her head and wrapped herself tightly. Golden dark patterns flowed faintly on the gauze, which looked like a phoenix.
Han Zhi was helpless, not knowing when he had provoked this person. He whispered, "I don't even know you, why are you hitting me?"
He thought the voice sounded familiar, and just as he was about to ask again, the woman snorted coldly, saying, "You don't recognize me? But I recognize you! Let me ask you, are you the Shilaozi Stone God named Chengyu? You were the one who captured Fairy Hua and the boatman, weren't you?"
"So what?" Han Zhi frowned, not understanding why. "Do you think they were wronged?"
The woman said, "What else? You treat human life so worthlessly, and you are worthy of being a god?"
"You say that, don't you have any concrete evidence to prove I'm wrong?" Han Zhi felt a little irritated as he watched the strange team go away. He mentally calculated how he could beat this man up without hurting anyone else, and then he said, "Since you think I'm wrong, then I'll go with you to find them. I can naturally prove it."
"You're lying! Everyone knows you're a cruel official! If they meet you, they'll probably be tortured into confessing!"
A fireball hit him, and a cold light flashed in Han Zhi's golden eyes. Just as he was about to freeze ice to put out the fire, he saw a stream of water flowing in front of him, blocking the woman's attack before him.
"It's been a long time since we last met, and the princess is still so arrogant and domineering."
A cold voice sounded, so familiar that it frightened Han Zhi.
He looked in the direction of the sound. The man had black hair and green eyes, wore a silver crown, and a moon-white Taoist robe. Jiang Mo followed behind him. He had a calm expression and glanced at Fen Nishang lightly, which frightened Fen Nishang so much that she was speechless.
She was both afraid and hated this man.
If he had not caught her, her brother would not have gone to the Kingdom of Jin to save her and then died tragically.
She took off her veil, revealing her beautiful face. Who else could it be but Han Zhi's half-sister?
Han Zhi didn't expect it was her. He had not met Nishang very often and didn't recognize her voice at first.
But when he was in Jin Country, she was the only one who knew his identity and treated him well.
For a moment, Han Zhi was somewhat glad that he had not actually fought with Nishang.
He didn't want to have any interaction with them, nor did he want to say anything to Chi Changyuan. He turned around and wanted to leave through the window again, but Chi Changyuan had noticed him early and had sealed the window with water.
Han Zhi was speechless. He was confident that his current appearance was not similar to his original self. His golden pupils were inherited from his master. What was it that made Chi Changyuan insist on keeping him?
"Your Highness Shishen, why are you in such a hurry to leave?" Jiang Mo's casual voice sounded, and Han Zhi felt annoyed. He turned around and said impatiently: "What exactly do you want to do? If it's because of the Zhao family case, I can explain it. Firstly, when the boatman went to find Zhao San for the first time, he actually directly assumed that Zhao San was definitely not at home. He knocked on the door and called his wife Hua Xian. Later, when he went there again, he also went directly to find Hua Xian. Secondly, I saw two stone benches under the bamboo, and only one bench was covered with dust. It seemed that no one had sat on it for at least ten days. But Hua Xian said that her husband had only been gone for two days. I suspect that the two of them had conspired to kill Zhao San. Is there any problem?" He had doubts about the boatman when he saw his words in the file. Coming to inquire, he was even more convinced of his thoughts.
"His Highness Shi Shen is indeed very good at judging cases." Chi Changyuan's voice was neither light nor soft. Han Zhi looked at him in confusion. On the contrary, Fen Nishang felt a little embarrassed after hearing what Han Zhi said.
She was not the type to deny her mistakes, so she quickly apologized and said that she just saw the two people crying loudly on the street and thought it was a huge injustice, so she asked where Zhou Si Chengyu had gone, and then found this place.
"Don't worry! I didn't let them go!" Fen Nishang raised her hand to assure him, "I was so angry at the time that I didn't think about it..."
Han Zhi: “…”
He knew Nichang's personality. She was simple-minded, impulsive, and hated evil. Her temper came and went quickly.
He sighed, not angry: "Forget it, Princess, just think twice before you act in the future."
He brushed off the dust that had just stuck to his body and prepared to say goodbye and leave.
"etc."
Chi Changyuan stretched out his arms and stopped him:
"You can't leave now."
