Chapter 126 Fahai's Doubts
What surprised Fahai was that he didn't see anyone along the way.
It seemed like there was no one inside or outside Hangzhou, and the outside was like a dead city.
But from inside Hangzhou, we can hear the noise of the crowd. Are all the people inside Hangzhou?
What Fahai didn't know was that all the people within a thousand meters of his direction had been evacuated, and the ghost clones of the Five Ghosts carried the dean's order and asked the crowd to move away.
Many people and monsters were curious about who had come to cause such a big commotion at West Lake Academy.
Fahai walked into Hangzhou step by step and saw red lanterns hanging all over the streets. Clothes and quilts were hung on the houses. It was obvious that there were people living here.
He also saw some stalls, including some stalls selling steamed buns, whose fires were not even extinguished, but the stall owners were gone, not to mention the people buying things.
"What on earth is going on?"
Fahai looked around in confusion. How come he didn't see anyone along the way?
Could it be that what he is seeing now is all an illusion?
Fahai stood in the middle of the street with a frown on his face, looking at the houses around him and the streets beneath his feet.
The differences from other cities are obvious.
In general big cities, the streets would not be this wide even if they were wide, and different roads were divided on the ground. The key point was that the construction pattern and color of the houses were very similar, which was completely different from the Hangzhou city he had visited before.
I don't know when it was rebuilt, but overall it can be seen that the people of Hangzhou seem to be living a better life now than before, at least the place they live is better.
Because he had entered Hangzhou City, Fahai could no longer see the spiritual energy and demonic energy that he had seen outside Hangzhou City, but he could feel that a large amount of spiritual power and demonic power were gathering in front of him, as if there were many cultivators and monsters in front of him.
Fahai couldn't help but think of the news he had heard in other cities and along the way.
"We still have monsters eating people here. Thank you so much, Master, for getting rid of this evil!"
"I heard that the monsters in Hangzhou don't eat humans, but help people and live with humans!"
"Oh my God, won't those monsters eat those people in the middle of the night?"
"No, it is said that they can help the people with work and get a fixed salary. The monsters there don't eat people!"
"Is this true? Is Hangzhou like this?"
"Mom, do monsters really not eat humans?"
"Only the monsters in Hangzhou don't eat people. If you're afraid of them, mommy will take you to live in Hangzhou, right?"
"Okay! Okay! I want to play with monsters that don't eat people!"
Fahai looked at the many people who had traveled thousands of miles to relocate to Hangzhou because of the persecution of demons and monsters. The expectations on their faces on the road made him frown again.
If the harmony between the people of Hangzhou and the monsters is false, then those people who come here will be like sheep walking into a tiger's mouth.
Is it possible that those monsters are just pretending?
At first, they pretended to be kind and attracted large numbers of people to come and live here, and then these monsters had an endless supply of food?
But when Fahai looked around, he didn't see any trace of blood, which made him give up this guess.
But if that is not the case, why are these people not here?
Maybe if we go further, we will find the answer?
Fahai raised his feet and headed towards the direction where the noisy sounds came from.
If the sound was meant to lure him, he would have to go ahead even if he knew there might be a trap ahead.
Because this concerns the entire people of Hangzhou.
Fahai exerted a little force on the hand holding the bowl, his expression was serious, and his muscles began to tense. He was ready to take action at any time.
But when he reached the end of the street, the scene he saw made him freeze in place, and the bowl in his hand almost fell to the ground.
What did he see?
Is this an illusion?
All the snack streets around the entire West Lake were temporarily removed, and large squares and several main streets were filled with round tables, where all the common people, monsters, and cultivators were eating and drinking to their heart's content and toasting each other. There was also a newlywed couple holding wine glasses, toasting at every table.
The scene was extremely lively.
Fahai was confused.
So the whole city of Hangzhou is deserted, is it because everyone has come here?
The red tablecloths in the middle of the black crowd look so spectacular!
The big screen in the air where Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen had held their wedding ceremony had long been taken back, leaving only the stage in the center of the West Lake.
Of course there were people who did not come to the wedding. Fahai noticed with his sharp eyes that there were people setting up stalls at the corner of the street next door. What they were selling were small wooden toys. Many people were watching in front of the stalls with their children.
So what about that street he passed earlier?
Or is everything in front of us an illusion?
Fahai had already confirmed that there was no trace of illusion on that street since he stepped into Hangzhou City, but the scene before him also had no trace of illusion.
seem……
Fahai was a little unconfident in himself. Did he make a mistake?
Are the past and present all illusions?
At this time, a group of people who were drinking and blushing were playing around. Someone looked up and saw Fahai standing there stupidly.
"There is a big monk standing here. Is he begging for alms?"
"Where are the monks? Didn't you see what happened to Master Xu Xian and Master Bai Niangzi? It was all caused by the monks!"
"It's just a future trend. Besides, not all monks are bad."
"Okay, okay, now it's the wedding banquet of Master Xu Xian and Master Bai Niangzi, Hua Yuan has come to the right place!"
"Yes, the food in the academy is really delicious!"
"I've never eaten such delicious food before! I believe that even the food made by the kitchen can't compare to this!"
"Okay, let me share some with the monk. I feel bad for him!"
"How about buying something on the side?"
"You are so stupid! There are no restaurants that serve food nowadays. Everyone comes here to attend the wedding ceremony!"
"Oh, then give him a steamed bun!"
"Stop, that's my steamed bun!"
"Then give half to each of them!"
"All right……"
The two commoners argued for a long time, and finally one of them took out half of the steamed bun and walked towards Fahai.
"Great monk, are you here to beg for alms? You picked a great time. Here you go!"
One of the common people snatched the steamed bun from another common person's hand and stuffed both into the bowl in Fahai's hand.
"Master, this steamed bun is best eaten while it's hot!"
Fahai stared blankly at the two steaming buns in his bowl. He reached out and took half of one. The warm and soft feeling told him that it was a real bun and not an illusion!
