Chapter 226 Going Around
Chen Kuang led his horse away slowly, and the old shopkeeper on the counter just shouted loudly, "Running slowly." Then, he started smoking a dry tobacco with a smile.
Come and go, go around, and go endlessly.
Chen Kuang looked back at the old shopkeeper Tao Ran as he walked. The old shopkeeper had a smile on his face, so ordinary.
The old man in his late appearance has the temperament of being no less than the top strong man. He is an old shopkeeper at a mountain inn, an old man who loves to smoke dry cigarettes, and perhaps a martial artist who retires to the world.
But no matter what identity it is, it is weird to put it here.
Chen Kuang waved his hand and said goodbye to the old shopkeeper. Goodbye, never see you again.
The more you are, the more nervous the shopkeeper is, the more nervous he is. Only when he is far away from him can he feel at ease. When he met Qing Dai before and then mistakenly entered the so-called world in painting, it is no more scary than walking in the gates of hell. Especially the old shopkeeper's last sentence was slower and could not stand scrutiny.
If we put aside the picture world, Sishui Village is actually just a unique landscape village. It is located between two mountains and surrounded by mountains like a paradise.
Chen Kuang was not very fast. Early in the morning, there were many villagers who went up and down the fields to work on the road. When they saw Chen Kuang, they would smile and say a few words to each other. It was probably because they could not live without Chen Kuang, but it was not surprising that they could not see it.
Moving forward slowly, I didn't feel any difference until I walked through the village.
He stopped and looked back. Maybe this place was really just a stop for pedestrians. Opportunities and other things were like other small worlds.
Gradually, the village behind him became blurred and eventually disappeared completely in Shen Kuang's sight.
The situation along the way was just a horse, and I walked very slowly.
The hero Ma seemed a little anxious after completely disappearing in the village. Chen Kuang noticed this and was quickly alert to the movements around him.
Walking between the two mountains, the plains and the ridges and ridges of the fields and the water systems disappeared, and were replaced by lush trees and mountain streams.
There is a spring flowing under the forest, and the sound is crisp.
After walking all the way, I walked about this mountain range, and the view from where I could see the eyes widened again.
It was noon, and the sun was poisonous. Chen Kuang and the hero stopped by the same stream. There were dense leaves covering the top of their heads, so the trees were shaded.
The hero is much better than before, but he is unwilling to go to hydrolyze the heat, so he just occasionally drinks a few sips of sweet spring water on the shore.
Chen Kuang stood under the tree and looked into the distance. The view was wide and the area was not big, so he should soon enter the forest.
After eating some dry food and drinking a few sips of wine, Chen Kuang continued to set off again after taking a break. Chen Kuang still had a trace of worry in his heart, which was an indescribable feeling, as if the affairs of Sishui Village were still in their hearts.
One man and one horse continued to rush along the scorching sun, walking across the plain and then to the forest. One man and one horse traveled through the forest until the evening of the day, and their vision became wider again. Shen Kuang sat on the horse's back and looked into the distance, and he seemed to see the smoke from the farthest part of his eyes.
The most common smoke on weekdays seems so friendly to the current situation.
With the traces of people, Chen Kuang slowly felt at ease, and he was no longer anxious with the last journey. Chen Kuang rode the hero slowly and slowly, holding the wine gourd in his hand and taking a drink occasionally. Until this time, he completely relaxed, probably leaving the painting world.
As we walked, we were getting far away from the smoke from the cooking stove

As we get closer, we can still see some figures in front of us.
Here the plains have a wide view, the fields and ridges are intertwined, and occasionally there are lakes, and you can see boats on the lake from afar. Maybe there are people with elegant pleasures who roam and write quiet poems in the depths. This is so suitable.
Just moving forward slowly, Chen Kuang suddenly felt a little nervous when he looked at the scene in front of him.
He seemed to have seen this scene somewhere.
Tourists rafting on the lake in the distance, men returning home on the road and children leisurely riding green cows, all the scenes are as good as yesterday.
There seems to be some impression of Shen Kuang among the pedestrians on the road, so it is inevitable that I will encounter it again. Why did this young man come here from a distance?
Chen Kuang was suspicious. He remembered the old shopkeeper's words when he left early in the morning. The old shopkeeper must have known the strange thing.
With a nervous mood, Chen Kuang led his horse through the village path and walked to the inn gate.
When Fu Bai, who was sitting in front of the door, saw Chen Kuang again, his eyes were full of strangeness and confusion. He seemed to be asking silently, "Customer, why are you back?"
The old shopkeeper Tao Ran still leaned against the counter smoking as usual. When he heard the white sound at the door, Tao Ran looked up slightly. When he saw that it was Shen Kuang, he seemed to have seen a ghost.
Tao Ran hurriedly put down the cigarette rod in his hand, rubbed his eyes and looked at it again, but it was still the same as the sun that he left in the morning.
Chen Kuang ignored the old shopkeeper's reaction, and he handed the hero to Fu Bai again, and then walked into the inn. There was only the old shopkeeper in the lobby now.
Chen Kuang suspected that the old shopkeeper was making trouble, so he walked closer and said straight to the point: "Did Storekeeper know what's strange here?"
After Chen Kuang finished speaking, Tao Ran said lightly: "What did those two people say last night?"
"Shopkeeper Tao then knows."
Tao Ran had gradually returned to calm at the moment. He knew that Chen Kuang was suspicious of him, but he was not in a hurry to explain, but he just said slowly: "You don't have to suspect that it was me who made trouble. I don't have the ability yet, but this is the first time I have seen you in this situation in so many years. This is indeed a world of paintings, similar to a small world. The people here are different from the outside world. I also mistakenly entered here many years ago and finally stayed here. Brother Jiang, have you walked back to this place after a day?"
Chen Kuang was skeptical about Tao Ran's words. After Tao Ran asked, Chen Kuang said slowly: "It's like he was wandering around in place, but this circle is a little bigger."
Tao Ran smoked a dry tobacco after hearing this. After thinking for a moment, he slowly said: "The people who mistakenly entered here left, so they left. In fact, even I still don't understand what conditions are needed to enter and leave here."
As he said that, Tao Ran looked at Chen Kuang with an inquiring look and continued: "You may be an exception, but there should be a way to leave."
However, as soon as Tao Ran finished speaking, Mu Yunfu, the girl in black who Chen Kuang had met yesterday, walked in slowly from outside the door.
When Mu Yunfu saw Chen Kuan, he was obviously a little surprised.
And this time, the old shopkeeper Tao Ran was really shocked, because Mu Yunfu was the Sishui Village he asked to leave, and now he has walked back like Shen Kuang.
Chen Kuang didn't know this, and only thought Mu Yunfu was back from out, so he just nodded and greeted the other party. It was not until Tao Ran said that Mu Yunfu was the same as him that Chen Kuang looked at the other party in surprise.
Then
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Chen Kuang looked at Tao Ran and asked, "The two of you who last night will come back before closing tonight, right?"
Hearing Chen Kuan’s painting, Tao Ran said lightly: “They don’t know how to do it anymore.”
When he said this, Tao Ran seemed to be confident.
Mu Yunfu, who had already returned to the lobby, subconsciously glanced at the old man smoking a dry tobacco on the counter when he heard this. She still remembered the scenes in the morning, and she also remembered the deaths of the two clearly.
Chen Kuang said, "Shopkeeper Tao, I know you are not a bad person, and this is not a black shop, otherwise Miss Mu and I would have been in an accident long ago. We wouldn't want to disturb the purity of this place, so I asked Storekeeper Tao to give us some advice."
Tao Ran glanced at Chen Kuang and smiled and said, "You kid are not stupid."
After saying that, Tao Ran looked at the long sword behind Chen Kuang. Although Chen Kuang was wrapped in linen, he still recognized it at a glance. In fact, Tao Ran knew yesterday that he just didn't want to spend too much trouble and didn't mention it.
"There is the Sword behind you, right?"
Chen Kuang looked at Tao Ran and nodded slowly when he heard this. In fact, Chen Kuang was not surprised that the old shopkeeper could recognize the Youya Sword.
Seeing this, Tao Ran laughed and said, "Boy from the Shen family in Donghai, who is Shen Yandong?"
"My grandpa."
"How is your Shen family doing now? Is there another grandmaster?"
"I'm the only one left in the Shen family now."
Tao Ran asked in surprise when he heard this, "Why did he fall to this point?"
Chen Kuang said lightly: "I am the only one who survived by the imperial court."
As an old man in the world, Tao Ran sighed, "The Shen family only survived one of them, and the court was determined not to keep one." He didn't ask the reason, but the Jianghu was in control.
When Mu Yunfu heard that the sword on Chen Kuang was carrying was a Goyoshi sword, he quickly guessed his true identity, but Mu Yunfu did not make any trouble at this critical moment, so he said more.
Until the end, Tao Ran patted Chen Kuan's shoulder. The burden on the young man's shoulder was a little heavier and nothing could be overcome.
After saying that, Tao Ran turned his head and looked at Mu Yunfu. Chen Kuang also turned around to look at him when he saw this.
Tao Ran said: "Little girl, I will remind you again. You can take the opportunity here by luck, but you must not go beyond my rules. Also, don't disturb the lives of the people here, otherwise those two will end up with you. Old man, you may not have heard of my name, but don't think I can't swing the knife."
As long as you know that it wasn't the old shopkeeper who interfered, Chen Kuang's worries would not be that heavy, but Chen Kuang was always worried about this picture-scroll world.
Listening to the old shopkeeper's words, the girl in black Mu Yunfu seemed to know the secret of this world.
Go around in circles.
Chen Kuang was drinking alone in the lobby at night. While recalling the scene of entering this place, he paid attention to all the seemingly reasonable places in Sishui Village, such as the landscape paintings, such as the inn in the village, and the old shopkeeper and the young man.
Chen Kuang believed in the old shopkeeper but did not dare to believe it all, because Chen Kuang could not guarantee that Tao Ran was really voluntarily staying here or being trapped here. He needed to consider all possible situations. If Tao Ran was forced to stay here, then he and Mu Yunfu would have to be in trouble. In this matter, Mu Yunfu, a girl in black, obviously knew more.
