Chapter 28: Tong Guan's Childhood

  Fortunately, it was only for an instant. A green divine light suddenly shot over from the direction of the temple, enveloping Wen Fei's body. It instantly cut off the scorching of the sea of fire, and a very cool feeling moistened Wen Fei's mind and body. He quickly hurried to retrieve the yin soul back into his body!

  Wen Fei's cold sweat dripped down, although Wen Fei didn't feel any discomfort on his body, and he was cool all over, as if he were soaking in water on a hot summer day. But Wen Fei knew that if it weren't for the power of Xiang Huo's faith saving him, he would have been done for! From now on, he would never dare to sneak out of the military camp again, Wen Fei secretly vowed!

  If Wen Fei wasn't mistaken, this red aura was the legendary Iron Blood Evil Aura. It's said that every adult male has an abundance of vital energy, and with three burning fires on their body, they're not only impervious to evil spirits but even Wen Fei's escaping yin soul wouldn't dare approach them.

  In the military camp, they were all such adult men, with thousands of soldiers gathered together, and it can be imagined how strong their blood would be. It's simply possible to gather into a sea of fire! If he hadn't made that last move, which was clearly saved by his faith in the gods, his soul would have been gone in an instant amidst the flames.

  No wonder the old man said that the military camp is a place with too much yang energy, and it's easy for gods and ghosts to appear. It turns out that there was indeed some truth to it! Thinking back to when he himself had his soul leave his body, lighting incense could protect his spirit from being disturbed. Now with so many people worshiping, and it's not just simple incense, but also contains the power of devout faith. This kind of power should be even stronger, unfortunately, he doesn't know how to use it...

  Wen Fei didn't have the heart to cultivate anymore, and he tossed and turned for half the night before finally falling asleep.

  On the second day, Wen Fei slept until almost noon before waking up. However, no one dared to disturb him, as if they knew that Wen Fei was sleeping in and thought it was only natural!

  In ancient times, people had little evening entertainment and went to bed very early. As soon as it got dark, they would start sleeping, usually around 8 or 9 o'clock. By the time morning came, at 4 or 5 o'clock, they had already slept for 8 or 9 hours and naturally woke up. So getting up with the rooster's crowing was a very normal thing in ancient times. There was absolutely nothing strange about it!

  But someone like Wen Fei, who can sleep until noon, is really rare. If it were an ordinary person, they would naturally be looked at askance by others, but Wen Fei is different, in other people's hearts, Wen Fei is a celestial being. Celestial beings, sleeping for two or three months is quite normal! You don't see that several decades ago, there was someone called Chen Xi Yi, wasn't he a sleeping immortal? He slept for several years at a time.

  Wen Fei slept until his stomach growled with hunger before waking up. He called out twice, and immediately a nimble servant came in to attend to him, bringing hot towels and helping Wen Fei get dressed...

  Of course, the clothes of the ancients were troublesome. Without finding someone to help put them on, it was too difficult. But Wen Fei was different, he wore only the clothes he brought from modern times. Although in the eyes of Northern Song people, they looked strange and ugly. However, Wen Fei was an immortal, so whatever clothes an immortal wore were normal. Therefore, Wen Fei didn't even bother to wear a Taoist robe, and simply wore the casual clothes he had brought from modern times.

  This time, Wen Fei called out, but instead of the usual little soldier who served him, it was Zhang Shu who walked in with a smile. Wen Fei found this strange, wondering if this guy had come to flatter him by bringing in his washbasin water.

  But then he saw Zhang Shu Ye's empty hands and knew he had misunderstood. Following Zhang Shu Ye in was an old man with a face full of wrinkles, holding a basin of water for washing his face, with a towel draped over his shoulder, looking like he was there to attend to Wen Fei's toilette.

  However, looking at Zhang Shu Ye's appearance, he seemed to be very respectful of the person behind him and yielded with a bow. The old man smiled and carried the washbasin in front of Wen Fei, opening his mouth to laugh: "Immortal Master, wake up. Someone has come to help Immortal Master wash up?"

  Wen Fei looked at the old man's robust build and dignified appearance, thinking he didn't look like a servant at all. Then he saw Zhang Shu Ye standing behind him, frantically shaking his head and making eye contact, Wen Fei was still confused but knew this meant he shouldn't accept. He hastily said: "I wouldn't dare trouble you, sir, your appearance is dignified, not like that of a servant at all!"

  As soon as the words came out, this person laughed even more, his eyes almost closed, and said: "Master Liao has praised me, my family was originally a servant. However, apart from serving the current officials, my family is also the first to serve others!"

  Your Highness, this was the Northern Song Dynasty's way of addressing the Emperor, with a hint of closeness. He was shocked in his heart, never expecting that this person had actually served the Emperor... Wait, serving the Emperor meant that this guy must be a eunuch?

  Not at all, aren't eunuchs supposed to be thin and shrill? Where did this person in front of me come from, with his dark purple skin, dignified appearance, and an air of authority even when not angry, and even a beard on his chin. How can he possibly look like a eunuch?

  "Sir, you're laughing? I see that your facial features are extremely noble, definitely not a common person." Wen Fei said this with an expression of profound mystery, looking like he had entered a state of being possessed by a spirit. He was just short of using his fingers to calculate the numerology!

  "Thank you, Master Xian, for your kind words. Someone from the Tong family has seen Master Xian before!" The man said with a smile.

  Wen Fei's expression changed, and he thought to himself: "This is Tong Guan! Tong Guan is serving me water to wash my face!" Wen Fei shouted in his heart. Who is Tong Guan? Go back and watch more TV...

  "You will be able to live a life of prosperity and become a king in the future!" Wen Fei said with a serious face.

  As soon as this was said, Tong Guan, who had been holding the water tray with a smile, also lost his composure. His voice began to tremble, and even the water in the tray started to ripple: "Immortal Master, you can't make jokes like that. Our family is loyal to the imperial court!"

  Wen Fei smiled faintly, looking like Tong Guan had misunderstood him, thinking he was going to rebel, which is why he became so fearful. Wen Fei didn't explain further, putting on an air of mystery, saying: "So, you might just live to be king!"

  Tong Guan suddenly lost his spirit, although he is now extremely trusted by the current Emperor Song Huizong, but it's still far from reaching the height of being like the sun in the sky. Hearing Wen Fei's words, for a moment, his mind was in great disorder, and he didn't know what to think. But then he heard Wen Fei lightly laugh and say: "Your achievements are in Yan Yun!"

  "Ah!" Two cries of surprise sounded inside the tent, one from Tong Guan and the other naturally from Zhang Shunyi! Both men remembered the words of Emperor Taizu of Song: "Whoever recovers Yan and Yun shall be king!"
