Sixteen: Demon House (Part 1)
Li Chan gasped against the white wall covered with green moss marks. When she looked down, she saw a large piece of purple mark on both arms. The corners of his mouth twitched, and a hissing sound came from the gap between his teeth, as if he was only feeling the pain now.
But then he took off the scroll around his waist with his injured hand. Seeing that the scroll was not damaged, he muttered: "It's okay."
"Li Lang?"
A thin sound came from the painting.
Li Chan said "shush", pressed the scroll and walked out of the alley silently. There was no one on Qintai Street. He walked through the closed railings and tiles and walked towards the east exit of Qinghefang. He was about to leave Qinghefang and saw a flash of fire in the distance. He looked like a night patrol officer and soldier who looked like a military officer.
According to the rules of the Dayong curfew, the curfew only sets a ban between the various yards, and does not prohibit the neighbors in the yard from walking. Now that I saw the night patrol officers and soldiers, I was about to leave Qinghefang. Seeing the flames coming here, Li Chan whispered: "Turn them away."
The fog came out from the scroll, and fog appeared on the street in front of him. When the night patrol officers and soldiers passed through the fog, they turned around and went to the other side. Li Chan walked out along the street openly.
After leaving Qinghefang, the curfew area was out. At this time, Lengyue drifted to the west and was at the end of the chubby. The shops selling breakfast food had begun to work hard for their livelihoods. The sound of grinding tofu was faintly heard from the yards in the streets and alleys. Some opened shops on the street and set up steamers.
Li Chan wanted to buy a steamed bun, but remembered that she was penniless. She paused for a moment and walked through the street without stopping.
There are 136 fangs in Xuandu City. The two fangs in Qinghe and Anping are located on the southeast side of Xuandu, only one fang from the east city wall, two miles away. To the north of Anping Square is Jingyang Pond. The Jiangdu Palace built around the pool was once the place where the empress dowager lived in the past, but now it is idle. The various fangs in the area where the Jiangdu Palace are located are where high-ranking officials live. Going westward, across the street, is the old imperial city, and now it is the palace where saints worship their ancestors.
As soon as Li Chan left Qinghefang, he turned to the south. Qiao City was a place for people to enjoy themselves. Further south was Xuandu East City. Ivory jade, horses, fur and other items were traded here. It was still dark, and someone was loading the goods with lanterns, preparing to rush to the port outside the city as soon as the city gate opened in the morning.
Li Chan looked around while walking and sighed, "I'm free!" A happy smile appeared on her face.
A soft voice came from the scroll, "Thank you, Li Lang..."
Li Chan smiled and walked through the wooden archway in Jinyifang, "I will transform the demonic energy for you, and you will help me get out of here, and it will be even."
"They won't chase after you again?" Hongyao's tone was a little worried.
"No." Li Chan shook his head, "He is arrogant."
"Who is that boy?" Hongyao asked softly.
Li Chan walked forward, looking at the households crawling in the night. The closer they were to the south of the city, the lower the specifications of the houses. To the north of Anpingfang, there were often only a few mansions in one square. After passing the east city, there were hundreds of households living in one square, with black tiles and white walls, lined up one after another. In addition to the straight roads that crossed, complex alleys could be seen everywhere.
It has been two and a half years since he came back, and Li Chan is still very familiar with the environment here. He turned around and walked towards the secluded Lixi Lane and explained: "This young man came to Xuandu with the Censor Heyi, but he was able to make decisions on behalf of Censor Heyi. Of course, he is not an ordinary person. Shen Heyi is a great scholar today. The son of a nobleman went out to travel with him and learned a lot."
