Fulu Rubik's Cube

Chapter 628
When Ding Xiuqing got off the carriage with his grandmother and younger sister, the first thing he saw was a gatehouse.

Two thick pillars stand tall, one on the left and the other on the right, on which are hung the large characters of "Sanshui Town" in jade-colored cloud seal.

Looking from a distance, it seems that there is a trace of cloud covering the buildings in the town, which looks a little blurry, but it makes Sanshui Town even more dusty.

Yu Zhongxiu led the two children to Shi Kaiying, and whispered:
"Look how the little girl is doing. I want to help Ziyu get married."

Shi Kaiying frowned and said:

"No, he waited for the first time to come, and this move inevitably meant to take advantage of others' danger, let's forget it."

Yu Zhongxiu bit her lip and said:
"This is a matter of Ziyu's life. Other matters are up to you. You must listen to me on this matter."

Shi Kaiying looked at Ding Xiuqing and whispered:
"Although Mr. Ding looks a bit downcast, he probably comes from a high family background, and he is full of arrogance, so he might not be a good match.

I'm worried that this little girl is influenced by him, not Zi Yuliang's match. "

Yu Zhongxiu rolled his eyes at him and said:

"Where is the academy, ten years is enough to change anyone.

What's more, if the two people's temperaments do not match in the future, the marriage contract can also be cancelled. "

Shi Kaiying shook her head and said:
"If a gentleman promises, the five mountains are the lightest!

It's fine if you don't agree, if you agree, there is no reason to go back on your word. "

Yu Zhongxiu smiled lightly and said:
"If you say that, then I will take it as your agreement."

Shi Kaiying looked at his wife and smiled dotingly.

"what ever!"

After finishing speaking, he strode up to Ding Xiuqing and said with a smile:

"Ding Xianggong, it's getting late, you go into the town with Zhuo Jing first, and I will take you to deal with the temporary residence in a while.

It just so happens that I still have a spare place in my home. If you don't give up, you can stay here temporarily. "

Ding Xiuqing was looking around, and hurriedly cupped her hands and said:

"Thank you, Chief Shijia!"

Ding Xiuqing supported her grandmother and walked towards Sanshui Town with Yu Zhongxiu. It was strange to see Shi Kaiying's back leaving.

"Mrs. Shi, isn't Master Shijia going with us?"

Yu Zhongxiu explained:
"There are a lot of people in the town. Except for buses, no carriages or horses are allowed in. Don't worry about him. Save the carriages and horses and they will catch up."

'There are many people in the town? '

A question arose in Ding Xiuqing's mind.

There is no city wall in Sanshui Town, and there are hundreds of pillars flickering around the town.

Under the two pillars at the gate of the town, people were coming in and out from time to time, and it seemed that there were not many people.

When Ding Xiuqing followed Yu Zhongxiu into the town, he was almost suffocated by what he saw.

Tall buildings like mountain peaks stood here and there, standing in front of them, as if they were about to fall down at any time, which made him want to turn around and run away.

In Kunzhu Mountain, he had the opportunity to see a wooden building of the 'Lianjiang School'.

It covers an area of ​​hundreds of feet, ten stories high, with corners and overhanging eaves, crouching on the ground like a giant beast, which amazed him at that time.

Only when you see the tall buildings in the town at this time will you know what it is to sit in a well and watch the sky.

Any tall building in this town is not much lower than the wooden buildings I saw at the beginning.

The tallest building in the middle of the town might not be dozens of stories high. It stands upright like a giant, and you can't see the top even if you look up.

On the ground, there are countless shops on both sides of the wide road, and the sound of all kinds of hawking is deafening.

The endless flow of people rolls back and forth like a wave.

Only now did Ding Xiuqing understand what Yu Zhongxiu meant by 'there are many people in the town'.

The shoulder-to-shoulder crowd couldn't even walk fast, let alone a carriage.

Ding Xiuqing discovered for the first time that gathering too many people can also cause fear.

muttered to himself:
"Could it be that there is a formation blocking the inside and outside?"

"What Ding Xianggong said is true. All the residences in the nine counties of Penglai are covered by formations. If you don't enter it, you can't know what's going on inside."

Shi Kaiying's voice came from next to his ear.

It turned out that at some point, Shi Kaiying had returned and was standing beside them.

"Mr. Ding, let's go! I'll take you to get the temporary residence certificate first, otherwise you won't be able to move a single step here."

Seeing Shi Kaiying rushing back, Yu Zhongxiu left with the two children.

Seeing that it was almost noon, she was going home to prepare a banquet for Ding Xiuqing and the rest of the family.

It is possible that they will get married in the future, so the etiquette should not be bad.

Ding Xiuqing followed Shi Kaiying to the ground floor of a building in a daze. After some inquiries and investigations, three green cards were handed over to the three of them.

Shi Kaiying led Ding Xiuqing and others away, and said:

"This card is your temporary residence certificate. You must carry it with you. If you lose it, come here to get a replacement immediately."

Ding Xiuqing looked back and forth at the cards in her hand, feeling a little puzzled.

This is a card made of unknown material.

The words 'Sanshui Town, Lexi County, Qingshui County' were written on the front, and Ding Xiuqing's personal information was written on the back, including name, gender, appearance, body shape, and family members.

After seeing all the incredible things in the Nine Counties of Penglai, the pattern on the card that was exactly the same as his appearance could no longer arouse his excitement.

But he still didn't understand why Shi Kaiying asked him to bring the card with him many times.

It wasn't until he followed Shi Kaiying to a tall building that he suddenly understood the meaning of Shi Kaiying's words.

He watched as a human-shaped mural on the wall of a high-rise building turned colorful, and then an eight-foot silver-armored god general jumped out of the wall.

This god will have a face like gold paper, white eyes flashing, broad arms and a round waist, covered with a fish-scale armor covering the whole body, with his left hand pressing the thirteen-section steel whip around his waist.

Ding Xiuqing looked up at the general, she was not as tall as her chest.

The Silver Armored God swept his eyes over several people, fixed on Ding Xiuqing, and stretched out his right hand.

"Identification certificate!"

The sound of the urn is like a heavy drum, and the faint echo is floating around.

Under Shi Kaiying's signal, Ding Xiuqing hurriedly took out the identity certificates of the three people and handed them over.

After the general received it, he inspected it carefully before handing back the voucher.

Then he cupped his hands and clasped his fists to salute, and then his body swayed back, hiding in the mural again.

Ding Xiulian saw such a miraculous scene for the first time, she pulled her brother by the skirt and shouted:
"Brother! Look, is this a heavenly soldier and general?"

Ding Huang on the side was quite frightened. As an ordinary person, she was most afraid of this kind of general who could easily hurt herself.

Ding Xiuqing couldn't answer and turned to Shi Kaiying.

Shi Kaiying explained:

"This is the guardian of the Penglai Dharma. They are patrolling every corner of the nine counties of Penglai, and they can interrogate anyone."

Ding Xiuqing looked at the murals in a daze. After entering Sanshui Town, this kind of murals were everywhere.

At first, he felt strange and didn't understand why there were murals and various portraits everywhere.

At this moment, I finally understand that there are actually hidden things in these murals.

Looking at the murals that can be seen everywhere, he couldn't help but say:
"Then aren't we under surveillance day and night, what if they enter the house?"

Shi Kaiying smiled slightly.

"The gods will only appear in public places and will not spy on the house without instructions."

Ding Xiuqing expressed doubts about this, but this is not something he can change, and he can only accept it passively.

"How many of these gods will there be?"

Shi Kaiying glanced at him meaningfully, but did not answer.

Ding Xiuqing instantly understood that she was Meng Lang. This was not what she should have known, and she couldn't help but regret her talkativeness.

As Shi Kaiying came downstairs, there was a palm-sized door plate nailed to the wall.

[Sixth Square of C Character in Sanshui Town]

This is a tall cross-shaped building with a total of sixteen floors, and the gray stone walls are as smooth as a knife.

The ground floor is very tall and wide, and there are many people coming in and out at the moment.

Ding Xiuqing and the others curiously followed Shi Kaiying into a stairwell marked with the word 'B' on the lintel.

Dozens of people were standing in the aisle several feet long and wide, talking to each other in low voices.

From time to time, someone looked at the four closed doors lined up on the wall.

Someone saw Shi Kaiying and waved to him.

"Hi, Chief Shijia is back, is there a visitor here?"

Shi Kaiying responded with a smile of "hehe".

"Oh, yes."

"No wonder I saw Zhongxiu hurried back to Zhang Luo just now. I happen to have good wine brought by my relatives. Have a drink or two in a while?"

Shi Kaiying's smile faltered, and he hurriedly said:

"Another day, it's inconvenient to have guests at home today, I'll be the host another day, I'll definitely have a good drink."

A middle-aged woman next to him smiled and said:
"Brother Niu, don't you see it? Chief Shi Jia is planning to find a marriage partner for Ziyu. What are you doing?"

The other person hummed, and said slowly:

"Do you think that Niu is honestly not clear? He is pretending to be confused. He must also want to intervene and make plans for his kid."

The others laughed and teased a few people.

Ding Xiuqing took a closer look at these people, and from their habits and clothes, he could roughly tell what they were doing.

While thinking about it, several doors on the wall opened one after another, and some people walked out quickly.

Shi Kaiying greeted Ding Xiuqing and led the three of them into one of the doors.

After entering, Ding Xiuqing was stunned again.

The room was actually a confined space eight feet wide and narrow, without doors and windows, and it seemed a bit crowded with more than twenty people crowded together.

An old man was sitting at the door, and several sets of switches stood beside him.

If it weren't for the fact that other people entered together and appeared to be nonchalant, Ding Xiuqing even suspected that Shi Kaiying wanted to harm her.

While he was wondering, he only heard the old man say:
"All stand up!"

As he spoke, he held one of the switches with his right hand and pulled it down, and the door of the room closed instantly.

Only then did Ding Xiuqing realize that there was a talisman lamp on the top of the room. If it wasn't for this lamp, the small room would have been extremely dark.

Then, the old man pulled another switch.

"Boom!"

There was a slight tremor under my feet, and the whole room seemed to shake.

The sudden sense of weightlessness made Ding Xiuqing's heart skip a beat, and Ding Huang's trembling voice said:

"Is there an earthquake?"

Ding Xiulian grabbed her brother's skirt and said timidly:
"Brother, I feel so uncomfortable and panicked."

Ding Xiuqing turned her head to look at Shi Kaiying with a stern expression, very unkind.

Shi Kaiying hurriedly said:
"Ding Xianggong, you are foreigners, some things are difficult to explain to you, don't worry, I have no malicious intentions."

While talking, the room stopped shaking, and the old man pulled the switch again to open the room door.

Several people came out in a file, and then the portal closed again, shaking again under the operation of the old man.

Shi Kaiying whispered:

"This is a lifting platform, which can rise and fall quickly. Otherwise, with such a high building, going up and down the stairs every day would not be exhausted."
