I, the wanderer of the universe, love making friends

Chapter 87: Fakes are sometimes good things
It was already late at night and everyone was asleep.

There were no human voices or horse hooves sounds on the street, only a few dog barks.

There was a new moon hanging in the sky, but in the moonlight, everything looked bleak.

The two dark shadows in front were running across the roof.

After walking for only a short while, one of them staggered and almost fell to the ground.

"Senior sister, how are you?" Another person hurriedly supported her.

"That thief's flying knife hit my lower back. It seems to be poisoned. I'm feeling very dizzy now. Junior Sister, are you…"

Before she could finish her words, she fell straight down.

She rolled on the roof and was about to fall onto the street when another person rushed forward and grabbed her.

Although the two spoke in low voices, Shen Lang, who was following behind, could already recognize that they were Qin Hongmian and Gan Baobao.

At this time, Qin Hongmian had been poisoned and fell into a coma. Gan Baobao wanted to pull her up but was unable to do so.

Because Gan Baobao was only holding onto the eaves with one hand, and Qin Hongmian's body was completely hanging in the air, about to fall to the ground at any time.

"Senior sister, senior sister..." Gan Baobao called out anxiously several times, but Qin Hongmian did not respond at all.

Just as she was thinking about whether they should jump down together, someone suddenly asked, "Do you need help?"

Gan Baobao looked up and vaguely felt that it was probably a young man.

She hurriedly said, "Please help me, sir!"

Shen Lang grabbed her hand and lifted her and Qin Hongmian up gently.

After he stood firm, Gan Baobao had no time to say thank you and hurried to check on the unconscious Qin Hongmian.

Then he took out a bunch of bottles and jars from his arms.

He picked up a bottle, poured out a pill, and was about to feed it to the unconscious Qin Hongmian.

Shen Lang smiled slightly and said in a relaxed tone, "If you feed this pill to her, I can tell you with certainty that she will die from the poison."

Hearing this, Gan Baobao's body trembled involuntarily. He quickly retracted his hand and asked anxiously, "What did you say?"

"You haven't even found out what poison she was poisoned with, yet you blindly give her medication. Isn't that harming her?"

As Shen Lang spoke, he reached out and gently placed his hand on Qin Hongmian's wrist, carefully feeling her pulse.

He continued, "At this moment, the toxins in her body have already attacked her heart. If she continues to use drugs carelessly, it will only accelerate the onset of the poison."

Gan Baobao was stunned for a moment, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes, "Are you a doctor?"

"Yes, I am a doctor." Shen Lang admitted frankly, "But if I want to detoxify your senior sister right now, I must find a quiet place. The light here is dim and it is difficult to operate."

Gan Baobao was silent for a moment, but finally decided to trust Shen Lang, "Then I'll have to trouble you for your help."

She and Qin Hongmian were both newcomers to the world and had never expected to encounter such danger.

At this critical moment, she had no choice but to trust the stranger in front of her.

"Lead the way." Shen Lang said, "Your senior sister can't wait any longer."

Gan Baobao hurriedly led the way.

The two came to another inn.

When Shen Lang put Qin Hongmian on the bed, her face had turned black, like ink.

Gan Baobao was shocked. "What kind of poison has Senior Sister been poisoned by?"

"There are all kinds of poisons in the martial arts world. It's normal that you haven't seen this kind of poison before." Shen Lang shook his head. "Luckily she met me, otherwise her life would be in danger."

"Please help me, sir!" Gan Baobao was so anxious that his face turned pale.

Shen Lang said: "Don't worry, since I have encountered it, I will definitely help."

He really despises this poison.

With just a slight move, Qin Hongmian's face slowly turned rosy.

Gan Baobao, who had been worried all the time, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Only then did he remember to ask for his benefactor's name: "May I ask your name, sir?"

"Shen Lang." Shen Lang stood up. "Your senior sister only needs to rest for a few more days to recover. I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave now."

Because he suddenly heard Li Canghai's voice in his ear.

"Thank you, sir." Gan Baobao escorted him out the door. Seeing his figure about to disappear into the darkness, she couldn't help but ask, "Sir, will we meet again?"

"We will meet if we are destined to." Shen Lang replied.

Gan Baobao watched his figure disappear into the darkness before returning to the house.

……

When Duan Zhengchun woke up, he found himself in a temple.

The statue of Guanyin on the incense table seemed to be smiling at him.

Looking through the smoke curling from the incense burner, Duan Zhengchun felt that the statue was indescribably strange.

Looking at it more carefully, there seems to be nothing different.

Looking back on his experiences during this period, he actually felt like he was dreaming.

First, he was forced to get married for no apparent reason, and then he was inexplicably forced to go out to collect herbs.

Then he fainted for no apparent reason, and then appeared here for no apparent reason.

The incense from the stove drifted over with the wind, and with his breathing, it seeped into his lungs and seemed to seep into his brain.

He seemed to have completely lost the ability to think.

I don’t know if it’s because the fragrance from the incense burner is too strong or because I have too many things on my mind.

It made his head feel dizzy and the more he thought about it, the more his head hurt. He didn't dare to think about it anymore because he was afraid he would go crazy.

Just as he was thinking about how to leave, the temple door was pushed open.

He heard footsteps and turned to see that it was Ah Luo's father.

In the blink of an eye, Shen Lang was already in front of him, smiling and saying, "My dear son-in-law, don't you even say hello to your father-in-law when you see him?"

Duan Zhengchun only felt that his gaze was dim and looked a little weird.

He quickly looked away, took a deep breath, and asked, "Father-in-law, why am I here?"

"Why are you here? Don't you even know?" Shen Lang asked him seriously, "Or have you even forgotten that you married my beloved daughter and even spent your wedding night together?"

Hearing this, Duan Zhengchun gave a wry smile, "Of course I remember marrying your daughter in Wuliang Mountain. I also remember giving her the Mantuo flower, but I can't recall why I ended up here."

"There are many things in this world that are hard to understand." Shen Lang sighed, "Even if you are a wise man, how can you figure out everything?"

Then he said, "But I still want to ask you, do you admit that you are my son-in-law?"

Duan Zhengchun nodded without hesitation and said, "I admit that I did marry her, but as a member of the Duan family, I really can't let her become the princess. I hope my father-in-law can forgive me."

Although he is not loyal in love, he treats every woman sincerely.

"Alas." Shen Lang sighed, "Royal children are troublesome. Whatever, I don't ask you to marry her as your princess. I just hope you don't betray her feelings for you."

As he spoke, he clapped his hands.

The next moment, footsteps were heard outside the door again.

Duan Zhengchun turned around and saw a young woman walking into the hall. It was A'Luo, whom he had married in the cave.

"A Luo..."

"Duan Lang." A Luo walked forward quickly and was about to reach out to hug him, but then stopped and looked at Shen Lang beside her nervously.

Shen Lang sighed, "You two are now married. Although it's not a formal marriage, you are still husband and wife. No one can argue with this. My dear son-in-law, you don't need to accompany me on my trip back to the Central Plains to collect herbs. Take A'Luo back to Dali."

"Ah? You don't need me to follow you?" Duan Zhengchun looked surprised.

Shen Lang said, "I've thought about it again and again. You two are newlyweds, and it makes me feel annoyed to have you around. So you should just live your own lives."

When Duan Zhengchun was thinking about how to perform well, A Luo beside him said, "Why don't you thank Dad quickly?"

Hearing this, Duan Zhengchun didn't know what to say, so he just nodded and said, "Thank you, father-in-law."

"You still can't remember why you are here?" Shen Lang asked again.

Duan Zhengchun thought about it seriously, then shook his head: "My son-in-law may have drunk too much, so he can't remember."

A Luo's face quietly revealed a mysterious smile, which only flashed by. She said, "You've had too much to drink. You said the Duan family is a Buddhist and wanted to come and worship Buddha. How come you can't even remember this? But isn't there a Guanyin statue here?"

Hearing this, Duan Zhengchun suddenly understood. No wonder he was here.

Then he said, "Guanyin is also a Buddhist, and worshiping here is also a way to show respect to Buddha."

"Let's go, go back and have a good rest first." Shen Lang ordered, "We will return to Dali tomorrow. Live a good life. I will come to see you when I have time in the future."

Duan Zhengchun watched him leave, then whispered to A'Luo beside him, "A'Luo, go back first. I need to calm my mind."

Ah Luo hesitated for a moment, then seeing his determined expression, she said, "Okay, come back soon."

Wait until A'Luo leaves the Buddhist temple.

Duan Zhengchun turned to look at the Guanyin on the altar, and recalled his experiences in his mind. He couldn't help but mutter, "Have I been dreaming all this time? Otherwise, how could I encounter these inexplicable things?"

At this moment, an elegant yet mysterious voice reached his ears: "Duan Zhengchun, do you think this is a dream? Or do you want to deny what you did?"

Duan Zhengchun was immediately frightened and broke out in a cold sweat.

Because he suddenly discovered that the sound was actually coming from the Buddha statue in front of him.

He stared at Guanyin with wide eyes again, and this time he could no longer look away.

Looking through the misty smoke, he suddenly found that the face of the statue seemed to have changed.

The originally kind face of Guanyin suddenly became extremely cold and stern, and there seemed to be anger between her eyebrows.

Even the eyes seemed to be those of a living person, glowing eerily under the light.

"Duan Zhengchun, look at me carefully. You must believe every word I say next!"

Duan Zhengchun's whole body seemed to be stiff, and he nodded involuntarily.

Even though he didn't want to look anymore, he couldn't take his eyes off Guanyin's mysterious and strange eyes.

"You are Duan Zhengchun, a descendant of the Dali Duan family. You married A'Luo in the Wuliang Mountains of Dali. This is a marriage sanctioned by heaven and earth, and you cannot deny it."

"From now on, you will be Duan Zhengchun. If someone asks you about your past and you can't remember, it's because you were burned in the fire and your brain was damaged."

Duan Zhengchun looked at the statue of Guanyin. Although his eyes became a little confused and empty, the determination on his face became stronger.

He nodded slowly and said, "Disciple knows."

"Okay, go back and rest first, because you are already a brand new Duan Zhengchun. You will only stop being Duan Zhengchun when I say you are not him one day." The beautiful and mysterious voice continued to penetrate into his ears.

Duan Zhengchun really turned around slowly and waited for him to walk outside.

After standing there for a while, his eyes gradually became clear, and then he strode away.

Two figures appeared in the darkness.

One of them is Shen Lang and the other is Li Canghai.

"Master, how long will this mind-control technique last?" Li Canghai asked. "Besides, these two women are sent by Senior Sister from the Vulture Palace. Will they discover they are fakes along the way? Not to mention they are women disguised as men."

Shen Lang said, "I'll wait until you say no next time, but it's troublesome to physically cancel a large account and then create a new main account and a virus account. If it weren't for the dream of you sisters to steal the Dali Kingdom, I wouldn't want to go through so much trouble."

It is not that easy to use mind control, especially when it comes to deep hypnosis of the person's brain and fabricating a false experience for him. This requires a long time and a mixture of true and false experiences to achieve.

For many people, it is a difficult thing.

But Shen Lang's Taoist name is Xiaoyaozi, he has the ability to control the mind, and he can arrange people from Lingjiu Palace, so it is not a problem for him to do this.

Li Canghai chuckled and said, "Don't forget, our entire Li family has sacrificed everything. Besides, fakes can sometimes be good things. As long as they are used properly, many things will not be blamed on you."

"That's true." Shen Lang nodded.

Li Canghai looked around and said, "Let's go back first. My sisters must be waiting anxiously."
