Volume 1: Wild Beasts, Changes Begin Chapter 38 A Wild Dog
In a renovated house, the doors and windows were all sealed with black cloth, but there was a small gap on the roof. The sunlight outside could only shine into the house by passing through this small gap.
It was as if a straight golden line fell from the sky and landed right on Fang Yunhan's head.
Wisps of mist gradually rose from Fang Yunhan's body.
More than a month has passed since Fang Yunhan returned to Changluo Marquis Mansion.
During this month or so, apart from eating, drinking, defecating, urinating and sleeping, he only left the room at sunrise and sunset. All the rest of the time was spent practicing in the room.
As for the structure of this house, Fang Yunhan modified it himself.
Because the annotations of the consistent and majestic magical powers also involve some things about Feng Shui.
Using the theory of Feng Shui to create the most suitable atmosphere for practicing qigong can avoid going astray to the greatest extent. It is also said to help practitioners concentrate and improve the efficiency of their qigong.
Now that he has the inner strength, Feng Shui might also be useful. Fang Yunhan now has the conditions, so he made good arrangements.
Perhaps the specially arranged Feng Shui really played a role. Fang Yunhan finally completely cured his blood deficiency three days ago, much earlier than his own estimate of two months.
"call!!!"
When the sunlight that came through the gap in the roof completely deflected away from Fang Yunhan, he let out a breath.
The breath of air blew as far as three meters away, and even the potted plant by the window was shaken.
Fang Yunhan finished his training, stood up, pushed the door open and walked out, ready to take a walk in the garden.
The so-called way of civil and martial arts is to alternate between relaxation and tension. Ever since he got the martial arts character template, Fang Yunhan has actually been in a tense state deep down. Now that his terminal illness has been cured, it would be more beneficial for his body and mind to increase the time for relaxation.
After he left, he called Ziyun and asked, "Why does it seem like there are fewer people in the mansion today? Is father not here?"
Ziyun said, "The Marquis said this morning that he was going to Honganji to fulfill his vow."
She had a wooden tray with some bear-shaped cookies on it and a cup of tea in the corner of the tray.
The biscuits were still a little hot. I guess Ziyun had just gone to get them because he knew Fang Yunhan had come out of seclusion.
After Fang Yunhan was reborn into this world, although he suffered from a terminal illness at a young age, he did not do nothing.
After he put forward some ideas from his previous life, he naturally received support from Fang Pingbo's financial and practical abilities. Over the years, he has produced many things that are very novel to this world.
The small oven also has this biscuit method, which is just a small part of the results.
After eating a few cookies, Fang Yunhan clapped his hands and said, "It seems that I haven't walked around Qingyu Temple for a long time. It's a good opportunity to go to Honganji Temple for a visit."
Ziyun quickly handed him the cup of tea and said, "Prince, it's cold today."
"It's already the end of spring, how can it still be cold?" Fang Yunhan took the tray himself and said with a smile, "I'm in good health now. If I don't go out for a walk, I'll get sick. Go, have someone prepare the horse for me."
Ziyun hesitated for a moment and said, "Then I'll go with you."
"No, you don't know how to ride a horse." Fang Yunhan touched Ziyun's head and said, "Oh, by the way, I remember that before the strange phenomenon of the falling star appeared, weren't you envious of those people in the mansion who knew how to shoot arrows and hunt? Be good and stay at home. When I come back, I will find you a good teacher to teach you archery."
Ziyun pinched Fang Yunhan's sleeve, thought again and again, blinked her bright eyes and nodded, saying: "Well, be careful on the road, and take the remaining guards with you."
The little girl's hair was as soft as a cool cloud, and Fang Yunhan felt a sense of light in his heart.
Ziyun has been with him since she was in her early teens. Although she is called a personal maid, in fact, over the years, Fang Yunhan has almost treated her as his own daughter.
After all, a guy whose mental age since childhood is in his twenties, watching a little girl grow up beside him day by day, can he have any other feelings except seeing her as his daughter?
Fang Yunhan is not a weirdo with special hobbies.
A moment later, Fang Yunhan left the mansion, but before he had ridden far on his horse, he saw a funeral procession coming towards him with music and drums. The mourning sticks were swaying and the procession was very slow.
He didn't want to wait any longer, so he took a detour.
…
Qingyu County, due to the development of maritime trade and fisheries in the past twenty years, the local area also needs a lot of places to store goods for a short period of time.
Later, the government stepped in directly and designated a street with the most suitable location. Many merchants rented houses there and stored their goods in them when they came and went. Some local people also saw the business opportunity and bought several houses to manage them uniformly and handle bulk goods.
Gradually, all the residents on that street moved away. The whole street was quiet most of the time, with the doors and windows of the houses on both sides closed and locked with iron chains. It would only be lively for a while when loading and unloading goods.
Fang Pingbo chose to take this route because although it was a bit longer, there was no one on the street, so he could increase the speed of his horse and maybe even get home earlier.
But who would have thought that before they had walked far down the street, they heard an unusual noise, as if a wooden box or shelf had fallen.
Fang Pingbo slowed down and looked carefully, and found a big hole in the window of one of the rooms, and the sound came from there.
"The main door was locked properly, but the window was broken. We must have been robbed." Fang Pingbo ordered the guards behind him, "Go and check. If it's really a thief, take him to the county government office."
"yes."
Among the dozen people, four guards were sent to approach that direction. The others stopped where they were, waiting for the four guards to catch the thief before moving on.
Generally, there aren't too many thieves who break in through windows to steal things, and they don't have any decent weapons on them.
These four guards are tall and strong, each of them is equipped with a sword, so it should be easy for them to handle this matter.
However, when the four guards arrived in front of the broken window and were about to break in, they found that there was no one inside. There were only some bitten and tattered boxes and bacon spilled on the ground.
A large black dog with fur as shiny as silk was eating the bacon with big grunts.
This dog is of sturdy build, almost as big as a buffalo. If it raises its head, it would probably reach the chest of an adult man. The crunching sound of it biting off large bones shows its extraordinary bite force.
The four guards looked at each other, smiled and said to Fang Pingbo, "My Lord, it's not a thief, it's a greedy big dog."
"Big Dog?" Fang Pingbo was stunned. He inexplicably thought of what he had just heard on the street, where people were discussing the cause of Uncle Ge's death.
The sound of gnawing bones in the room suddenly stopped. The big dog heard the movement behind him and slowly turned his head.
The guard standing at the window was startled.
The big dog had very fine black fur , but its face looked like tree bark, covered with wrinkles that looked hard, like an old macaque's head attached to a baby's body, inexplicably creepy.
Also, the sharp teeth stained with meat scraps in the dog's mouth were turned outward, with two long and sharp teeth on the upper and lower parts intertwined. When the body was slightly lowered, this beast seemed no longer a dog, but more like a black panther.
A man-eating leopard.
BANG!!!
The window, which already had a big hole in it, was completely smashed to pieces by a black shadow that was so dark that it could not be seen with the naked eye.
Before the expressions on the four guards' faces could change from relief to horror, two of them were knocked away and one was thrown to the ground.
There was another one who was right in front of the black shadow. He screamed and drew his sword to chop, only to see the black shadow open its mouth wide and lean forward.
Suddenly, he felt a chill in his stomach.
Puff ! Clang!
The long knife fell to the ground, and bright red blood mist sprayed onto the wall.
