Chapter 2399 Night Visit
After returning home from the eunuch's office, Zhang Xuezhou felt somewhat happy and somewhat melancholy.

He was naturally happy because the controversial position of Taizhong Daifu was gone. In the absence of the new emperor in control of the court, it would be a lot of trouble for him to take over such a position. As long as he appeared in the court for a long time, he would inevitably get into disputes and troubles.

The reason why Zhang Xuezhou was melancholy was very simple. He did not expect that he would become a reserve eunuch.

Although he would no longer go to Qilin Pavilion to urinate, and he only had to endure three years to complete his probation period, entering the Eunuchs' Office would obviously not bring him any good reputation.

Zhang Xuezhou could already imagine the embarrassment that would occur over time.

Things will be simple as long as we return everything to the original intention of entering Chang'an City.

Zhang Xuezhou finally felt relieved. As long as he could still practice magic and get the opportunity to escape from the extraterritorial demon, no matter what he went through, it was just a process.

Even when facing a strong enemy like Huang Daoxian, Zhang Xuezhou didn't think it was a big deal as long as the other party didn't block his way.

"The officials in this imperial court are just like floating clouds. They can promote you when they want, and demote you when they want!"

Zhang Xuezhou was wearing an official robe before he went out, but when he returned home he was wearing a gray robe from the eunuch's office. The change was too obvious.

After Rong Tianding asked a few questions, he couldn't help but curse, feeling that even the officials in the court didn't want to be officials.

"It's not bad," Zhang Xuezhou said with a smile, "I haven't done anything and have been drawing a salary for two years. I should have quit long ago!"

"That's true. Only officials in the imperial court can get paid without doing any work," Rong Tianding nodded.

"Why was the master removed from office so suddenly?"

Zhang Xuezhou and Rong Tianding looked indifferent, one while the other returned to normal after spitting. However, Aqiao's face suddenly changed, and she almost felt like the sky was falling. She felt that Zhang Xuezhou had fallen from a high-ranking official to an ordinary person in an instant.

Young and promising were the labels that Zhang Xuezhou used to be known for, but now young is all that’s left.

Aqiao had just moved into Zhang's house for two days when Zhang Xuezhou, the person she was responsible for following, fell from the sky to the ground. This was hard for Aqiao to imagine.

This was too different from what Princess Liu Ling had told her, and it made her doubt her life, unsure whether to continue with the surveillance plan.

She asked several times, but Zhang Xuezhou was too lazy to tell everyone why he lost his job, so he just answered a few vague questions.

"Cousin, your wife is a little unreliable!"

Aqiao is a woman who has seen the world, but her level is quite different from that of Zhang Xuezhou and others.

Rong Tianding and Zhang Xuezhou chatted for a while. When Rong Tianding invited Zhang Xuezhou back to his house and took out his Boshan furnace which was used to nourish Yin objects, his eyes suddenly moved and he pointed at Zhang Xuezhou's house.

"She sent out a message crow!"

Rong Tianding was in the room, but his observation did not rely on his senses or eyes.

In order to prevent the many people in Zhangjiazhuang from being beaten for playing fake magic, Rong Tianding placed Yin objects at the door of almost every household.

The fighting abilities of these evil creatures are another matter, but they are undoubtedly very qualified as eyes for observation.

He played with the Boshan furnace and clearly sensed the message conveyed by the Yin object.

"The Shijiao School really has many wonderful methods. Cousin, your observation ability is amazing!"

Zhang Xuezhou didn't care about Aqiao's message. Even if Aqiao didn't pass the information to the Huainan Palace, his affairs were not private and would be known to others sooner or later.

Compared to paying attention to Aqiao's little movements, Zhang Xuezhou was more interested in this restored Boshan furnace.

The main body of the Boshan furnace originated from what Li Shaojun took at a banquet, while the top cover was made by the Empress Dowager. The two are combined to form a unified whole.

The complete treasure obviously does not need to be divided into two parts, which can only prove that the Boshan furnace is a trophy for each of them. The top cover that can fall into the hands of the Empress Dowager is not an ordinary thing, and the furnace body that falls into the hands of the Imperial Censor Zhuang Qingzhai is not simple either, and it is not just used to nourish Yin objects.

"This furnace was made by a high-ranking official in the imperial court, and this lid was made by Anle Palace. There aren't many masters who can fight Anle Palace and are good at Yin objects!"

Zhang Xuezhou left Aqiao's matter aside. He glanced at the ghost of the Nine Wind Demon King dancing like phosphorescence in the furnace, then touched the wall of the furnace, trying to find any secret compartment or mechanism that might be hidden in the furnace.

"Could it be something from Shi Wudao?"

Seeing that Zhang Xuezhou didn't care about Aqiao's behavior, Rong Tianding felt relieved and couldn't help but become excited.

"There are more than just the Shi Jiao school that play with Yin objects, but there are not many people who can fight against the Empress Dowager. This might really be his treasure," Zhang Xuezhou nodded.

After several years, Zhang Xuezhou and Rong Tianding still remember Shi Wudao and the skills he displayed at that time.

The corpse without the way carries with it endless negative energy, which can make those with weak cultivation grow hair and turn them into mindless zombies.

It is hard to say whether the opponent's ability is strong or not. After all, this ability cannot do anything to masters. But if you say it is not strong, it is very strong and can be called a powerful weapon for group clearing.

If it weren't for the fact that Shi Wudao still had a sense of order in his heart, the other party's ability would almost turn Chang'an City into a hell on earth.

The corpse Wudao who hid in the yin energy came and went without a trace, which embarrassed many court masters.

"It's a pity that this furnace is not recorded in the Corpse Codex!"

Rong Tianding sighed a little.

Rong Tianding did not expect himself to become the second Shi Wudao, but he also had some thoughts about making a living. He felt that if he had half of Shi Wudao's ability, he would be able to fit in among the large group of practitioners, and even lend a hand to Zhang Xuezhou. The two of them could occupy a place in the group without having to depend on others to make a living.

"You should play with this furnace more." Zhang Xuezhou said with a smile: "There are only a few ways to play with Yin objects. Either you raise enough Yin objects, or you raise strong Yin objects!"

"Then I'll catch some more and try to fill up this furnace and see if there are any new changes!"

Rong Tianding thought for a few seconds and felt that it was not difficult to meet Zhang Xuezhou's condition.

Normally, it would take most of a lifetime to fight and kill and catch Yin creatures, and one might even lose his life in the process. But with Zhang Xuezhou's Sui Hou Pearl, Rong Tianding could catch Yin creatures as easily as mowing grass. As long as he destroyed a group of unconvinced Yin creatures, the rest would become obedient.

The two brothers were chatting animatedly in the room. When the hour of Hai just arrived, Rong Tianding's eyelids fluttered, and a pair of dead fish eyes appeared again.

"Cousin, a carriage is coming to visit you!"

Rong Tianding pointed at Zhang's house. Less than ten seconds after he finished speaking, Zhang Xuezhou heard rhythmic knocking on the door of his own house.

"Master Dongfang, I am here uninvited. I hope you will open the door to meet me!"

Zhuang Qingzhai's voice was not loud, but Zhang Xuezhou's ears were very sharp.

As long as he listened carefully, Zhuang Qingzhai's words seemed to echo in his ears.

"Why did he come to my house?"

Zhang Xuezhou's hand that was groping for the Boshan furnace retracted.

During the impeachment in Xuchang, Zhang Xuezhou and Zhuang Qingzhai fought a round, and Zhang Xuezhou was easily tricked into a ditch by the opponent.

It is difficult to accurately judge the words of this imperial censor as they are between true and false.

Compared to dealing with Zhuang Qingzhai, Zhang Xuezhou felt that he would rather have a tacit fight with Xu Chang.
