Chapter 292 Small Town Legend

"We didn't pass by here when we came, but after the prayer is over, if the master wants to go, we can also return from here." Chunmei also replied while looking at the town below.

"Sure. We haven't gone shopping for a while. When the time comes, let the emperor and the troops go back, and we can just take the secret guards for a walk." Su Tang nodded. Since coming to Beijing, she has been trapped in the capital because of her identity. Su Tang also wanted to go shopping.

"Okay, I'll go talk to them later." Chunmei nodded in agreement.

After sitting in the pavilion for a while, perhaps because the sun was gradually setting, the wind in the pavilion became stronger.

Su Tang stood up and looked at the lights of thousands of houses flickering below the mountain. She turned her head and said to Chunmei, "Let's go. It's time for us to go back and rest."

The three-day prayer ended quickly and smoothly, and Su Tang and the others did not encounter any unexpected situations.

Therefore, the unexpected situation encountered at the post station on the way here made everyone think that it was just an accident.

But the secret guard beside Su Tang found some kerosene in the kitchen, which was something that should not appear in an inn.

Su Tang kept all the evidence containing kerosene and stored them in the space.

Abbot Jingxu did not appear in the past few days. Until Su Tang and his group left, other monks from the temple were sent to see them off.

Su Tang also asked other monks in the temple at that time, but the monks just replied that they didn't know, so Su Tang didn't ask any further questions.

"Master, let Xia Mei follow the convoy back to Kyoto."

Chunmei was worried that the Thirteenth Princess or Princess Su would come to look for Su Tang on the way and discover that Su Tang was not in the carriage. With Xiamei following the convoy back, she could help cover up some things on the way.

Although it wouldn't matter if Su Tang didn't go back with the convoy, after all, they came out to pray for blessings. Chunmei was also afraid that the Queen Mother would know that Su Tang didn't go back with the convoy and cause trouble for Su Tang again.

"Okay." Su Tang nodded. It would be enough if Chunmei followed alone.

Xia Mei naturally had no objection.

Soon, the group of people who were praying went down the mountain along the winding mountain road.

Su Tang stood at a place halfway up the mountain and looked at the convoy going away, "Let's go too."

They were going to go down the mountain the other way and visit the town at the foot of the mountain.

In order to make it easier to stroll outside, Su Tang and Chun Mei changed into men's clothes and went down the mountain.

In order to facilitate their journey later, Su Tang also asked Shisan to show up and travel with them.

Although Chunmei had seen Thirteen several times, she was still very curious about him.

Thirteen usually likes to wear black clothes, and he did so today as well. He also wore a black hat to cover his face.

Thirteen was silent all the way and his steps were very light. Chunmei always forgot that Thirteen was by their side.

Just as they reached the foot of the mountain, Chunmei looked at the town not far away and said, "Master, do you have your guide?"

"Yes, I brought it." Not only did she bring it, but Su Tang had asked the Second Prince and Qi Lingheng to get her a lot of identity passes and household registrations to make it easier for her to travel outside in the future.

The Second Prince and Qi Lingheng knew Su Tang's intention, but neither of them refused and helped Su Tang to get several copies.

Moreover, her travel permit and household registration are traceable, and records are kept at the government office that issued the certificates.

"What about the master, where is his?" Chunmei looked at Thirteen with some concern.

"He has one, too." Su Tang turned her head to look at Thirteen, who was half a meter behind her.

Thirteen's hat was pulled down very low, and even though Su Tang was half a head shorter than Thirteen, she didn't see Thirteen's expression at that moment.

Shaking her head, Su Tang withdrew her gaze and continued walking forward.

Soon we arrived at the city gate.

Carved on the town wall are three powerful characters: "Gutang Town."

There are quite a lot of people coming and going at the entrance of the town. After all, it is not far from Kyoto, and the living conditions of the people around here are better than those in some remote areas.

"Master, it's quite lively here." Although Chunmei grew up in Kyoto and has seen the world, she used to be a servant serving the second prince and had few opportunities to go out.

So when she arrived at the busy street town, Chunmei couldn't help looking around.

However, after watching for a while, she found that Su Tang and Shisan were both calm and composed. Only she seemed like someone who had never seen the world. She also restrained her expression and tried her best to control herself from looking around.

"Three young masters, please come to the teahouse to have a cup of tea and take a rest." When we arrived in front of a teahouse, the waiter at the door greeted us warmly.

Su Tang turned her head to look inside the teahouse. It was quite lively inside and was actually full of people.

"Is there any room left?" Su Tang asked.

"Yes, yes, yes. The best seats in the lobby downstairs are still reserved. There are also private rooms upstairs. Please come in and have a look." The waiter, with a cloth towel draped over his shoulder, turned sideways and gestured for invitation.

Seeing this, Su Tang smiled and replied, "Then let's go in and take a look."

After saying that, Su Tang followed the waiter inside.

When you enter the teahouse, you can hear people talking from time to time, but no one speaks very loudly. The reason is that in the lobby on the first floor of the teahouse, there is a storyteller who is telling a story with all his heart.

"...It is said that there are many dangers in the Yanan Mountains. The last time, everyone managed to get out of the mountains alive, but now they are almost buried up to their necks in the dirt..."

"Would you like to sit on the first floor by the window, or in the private room on the second floor?" The waiter's voice drew Su Tang's attention back.

Su Tang took a look at the position pointed by the waiter. The seat by the window was very good and not far from the storyteller.

"Just there." Su Tang pointed to the window and said, as if she was afraid that the waiter would interrupt her again while she was listening to the storyteller's story, "bring a pot of your best tea and a few side dishes."

"Okay, you three follow me first." After hearing what Su Tang said, the waiter happily led the way.

"It is said that there are many good things on the Yanan Mountain. It is also said that there is a mansion of a declining family there, but these are just rumors..."

"Tsk, we all know what we said today. Can you tell me some other stories? It's true that people can only go into Yanan Mountain but not out. So for all these years, I haven't heard of anyone coming back alive from there. It's said that my uncle from a distant family didn't believe in evil and insisted on going to see what was in Yanan Mountain, but he never came back either."

"Yes, ever since the rumors about Yanan Mountain became more and more bizarre, I heard that there are no houses for hundreds of kilometers around the mountain, and there is even a small town that is half empty."

"It seems that the government officials also believe this, otherwise how could the town be emptied?"
