Chapter 262 Are You a Human or a Ghost?
As he spoke, Shen Lexuan turned around and waved to the people behind him: "You all wait here, Lord Shen and I will go in and take a look and then come out."
After saying that, he took the lead and walked into the deep forest. Seeing this, Shen Lexuan hurriedly followed.
The two walked one in front and one behind. Fang Deyong seemed to be very familiar with the terrain in the deep forest. He led Shen Lexuan through twists and turns for a long time without getting lost.
Shen Lexuan couldn't help but feel a little suspicious. This Fang Deyong was indeed not simple. He followed Fang Deyong calmly and continued to move forward.
After walking for a while, Fang Deyong suddenly stopped and turned to Shen Lexuan and said, "Sir Shen, we are in the depths of the forest ahead. Wild beasts are everywhere. We should not go any further."
Upon hearing this, Shen Lexuan smiled and shook his head, saying, "Master Fang is wrong. Now that I am here, how can I give up halfway? I think we should continue to move forward and see."
As he said this, he walked straight forward without waiting for Fang Deyong's response. Seeing this, Fang Deyong's eyes flashed with helplessness and anger, but he had to follow.
However, not long after the two continued walking forward, the surrounding scenery suddenly changed. The originally lush trees disappeared, replaced by a white mist.
"This is..." Shen Lexuan was stunned and turned to look at Fang Deyong, "Master Fang, what's going on?"
Fang Deyong also showed a surprised look at this moment: "I don't know either. I have never encountered such a situation."
Shen Lexuan raised his eyebrows slightly, and a trace of vigilance arose in his heart.
He felt that he might have been trapped in a formation.
Thinking of this, he calmly observed the surrounding environment, trying to find a way to break the formation.
However, he looked for a long time but did not find any clues.
At this moment, Fang Deyong suddenly said, "Master Shen, I think this fog is a bit strange, let's withdraw first."
Having said that, he turned around and was about to walk back.
Seeing this, Shen Lexuan hurriedly called him: "Master Fang, wait a minute. Since I have come here, how can I return empty-handed? Although this fog is strange, there may be some treasure hidden in it. How about you and I explore it together?"
After hearing this, Fang Deyong paused, turned around and looked at Shen Lexuan and said, "Master Shen, do you really want to continue the search?"
Shen Lexuan nodded firmly and said, "Of course."
Fang Deyong saw this, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes, and then nodded and said: "Since Lord Shen has made this decision, then I will accompany you on this journey."
Having said that, he turned around and continued walking forward. Shen Lexuan saw this and hurriedly followed him.
The two walked one after the other, the fog around them became thicker and thicker, and visibility became lower and lower.
At this moment, Fang Deyong in front suddenly stopped, turned around and said to Shen Lexuan: "Sir Shen, there seems to be something in front."
Shen Lexuan's heart tightened when he heard this, and he hurried forward. Through the mist, he vaguely saw a figure in front of him.
"What is this?" Shen Lexuan frowned.
Fang Deyong smiled and answered irrelevantly, "Sir Shen, you didn't go out when I asked you to. Do you think you can go out now?"
"What do you mean?"
Shen Lexuan was startled and subconsciously tightened the sword in his hand.
"Haha, don't be nervous, Mr. Shen." Fang Deyong said with a smile, "I have been in Bianyun Pass for such a long time, but I haven't seen my mother yet. Shouldn't I go see her?"
"Your mother?" Shen Lexuan was stunned. "Aren't you an orphan?"
"Who said I'm an orphan?" Fang Deyong seemed to have heard something funny. "My mother has always been here, and you are very familiar with her."
Shen Lexuan was even more confused. When did he become familiar with someone from outside the Great Wall?
No, there must be something fishy going on!
As he was thinking, he suddenly felt a strong sense of dizziness and then lost consciousness.
Shen Lexuan slowly opened his eyes and saw a deep valley in front of him. It was surrounded by lush trees. The sunlight shone through the gaps between the leaves, casting mottled shadows.
He struggled to sit up and found that although his clothes were a little messy, they were not a big deal.
Full of doubts and vigilance, he looked around, trying to find a clue.
Just then, two people came from a distance. Shen Lexuan's gaze gradually focused during the exploration, and the figures of the two people gradually became clear.
An old woman was walking in front. She was holding a cane and walking steadily. Her face was full of wrinkles, but she showed kindness and tenacity.
Following behind the old woman was Fang Deyong...
Wait, why does this old woman look so familiar?
Shen Lexuan frowned and looked at the old woman carefully. Suddenly, a light bulb went off in his mind and he finally recognized the old woman's identity - she was General Fang's first wife, Lin Congyun!
At this moment, he was shocked. He clearly remembered that this old woman had died in a fire in an inn a year ago. Why did she appear here?
And judging from her appearance, she seems to be even younger than she was back then.
Full of doubts and confusion, Shen Lexuan decided to wait and see.
Fang Deyong supported the old woman and walked to Shen Lexuan, his face full of fake concern: "Master Shen, you are awake."
Shen Lexuan nodded slightly, but his eyes were fixed on the old woman: "Who is this..."
"This is my mother," Fang Deyong introduced, with a hint of a smile on his face. "Didn't you just say that you would introduce my mother to Lord Shen?"
Shen Lexuan was shocked, but shook his head calmly: "I just think the old lady looks familiar..."
and many more……
This old lady is Fang Deyong's mother, so Fang Deyong is...
Fang Deyong?
Isn’t this the third son of the Fang family?
Didn’t he die in battle in the North?
How come it appears here?
Is it...
Thinking of this, Shen Lexuan's heartbeat accelerated. The air around him seemed to solidify, and every flickering light and shadow seemed extremely strange.
He tried to stay calm, his eyes moving between Fang Deyong and Lin Congyun, trying to catch a hint of real emotional fluctuations in their eyes.
At this moment, his thoughts were like a tangled mess, and every guess made him tremble with fear.
He forced a smile, trying to ease the sudden strange atmosphere: "So... So... It's Lord Fang's mother. I'm so sorry."
There was a deliberate sense of calmness in Shen Lexuan's words. He secretly adjusted his breathing, trying to calm the waves in his heart.
Lin Congyun smiled slightly, "Master Shen, you are too polite. It has been several years since we last saw each other!"
"what?"
Shen Lexuan was stunned. He stared at Lin Congyun blankly, his lips trembling, "Are you a human or a ghost..."
