Chapter 334: Madam Liu is going to the forbidden area

"As expected of Liu Shen."

The old marshal looked at Liu Qingyi who had returned to him and sighed with complicated eyes.

"If you don't fear death, you can do it too."

Madam Liu said this expressionlessly, then she gently flipped her right hand and the candlestick disappeared.

The old marshal shook his head and said, "There are many people in this world who are not afraid of death, but you, Liu Qingyi, are the only one who can make it this far."

When Madam Liu heard this, a rare smile appeared on her lips.

She wouldn't feel anything if someone else said this.

But she only benefited greatly from it when the old marshal said it.

What others say is just flattery, only what the old marshal says is sincere.

"After I get back, I plan to go see the old temple priest."

Madam Liu said softly.

Over the past thousand years, although Madam Liu had collaborated with the old temple keeper remotely several times, they had never actually met in person.

The old temple priest also shouted several times.

He even offered the position of the first throne to invite Madam Liu, but she looked down on it, so there was no need to even think about meeting the old temple priest.

But now, with this candlestick in hand, Madam Liu is ready to go and meet him.

"Oh?"

The old marshal couldn't help but feel moved.

He naturally knew that the old temple keeper had asked Liu Qingyi to go to the taboo, and he also knew that Liu Qingyi had refused this several times.

Every time it’s rejected.

But now Liu Qingyi said that she would take the initiative to go to the forbidden place, and in the old marshal's opinion, now is not a good time for her to go to the forbidden place.

Of course, if Liu Qingyi wanted to go, the old marshal would not refuse.

Even strongly agree with it.

only……

"I wonder what Willow God did in the past?"

When Madam Liu heard this, a trace of sneer appeared on her lips. She said softly, "Go ask the old temple keeper who is the best in the world."

"Take Liu Bai with you?" the old marshal asked again.

Madam Liu did not hesitate.

"bring!"

"..."

"Mr. Accountant, you are such a jerk that you don't even make your office more impressive."

Every time Liu Bai came to see Madam Wen, he would tell her about this.

Madam Wen took on the job of the Chuanhuo Mansion's warehouse, but she did not work inside the Chuanhuo Mansion. Instead, she set up a small courtyard next to the warehouse.

Not only is the location remote, but even the door is very small, so tall and fat people have to lower their heads to get in.

The same is true for the yard, which is not spacious but is kept very clean.

The sound of abacus being turned could be heard everywhere in the courtyard.

When Mrs. Wen had nothing to do, she always liked to sit in this yard and listen to the sound of the abacus.

Every time she heard it, it was a benefit to her.

This matter also involves Mrs. Wen's background.

When Zhang Cang first took over the Chuanhuo Mansion, he had already chosen Madam Wen to be the accountant and handed over the most important warehouse to her.

Liu Bai naturally couldn't see what was so special about Madam Wen, so he asked Zhang Cang about it later.

Zhang Cang’s answer was…Mrs. Wen was born with money.

Her real background is just like Madam Tian in Yunzhou City or Aunt Hu from the Water and Fire Sect.

He is a monster, but due to various coincidences, he embarks on the path of a ghost.

As for what kind of money it was, Liu Bai didn't know. He only knew that the longer Madam Wen stayed in this warehouse, the deeper her divine power would become.

Zhang Cang even secretly revealed it to Liu Bai.

This Madam Wen is expected to attain enlightenment before the forbidden expedition to the east!
"Master Chuanhuo knows that this city is full of money, so how can there be so much money to repair this storehouse?"

No matter who Mrs. Wen meets now, she habitually cries poor first.

There is no way around it. If she doesn't cry poor first, others will come to her, the warehouse man, to cry poor.

"The treasury is in your hands. Isn't it up to you to spend it however you want?"

Liu Bai walked towards the hall with his hands behind his back, "Of course, it's not impossible for me, the Firebringer, to pay for it myself."

It was not until they entered the hall that Mrs. Wen, who was wearing a green robe, blinked and said, "I was joking with you, young master."

"You can spend money elsewhere, but you really can't spend money in our warehouse."

Liu Bai naturally understood this principle.

Besides, time is running out and there is no need to repair the warehouse.

If a fight really breaks out, this warehouse and even the entire Zouyin City will be lost.

Therefore, the other fire-transmitting master in the Fire-Transmitting Mansion, the man named Dongyang, had been sent to Yangguan by Zhang Cang.

He was responsible for building a second line of defense above Yangguan.

If the Western Great Wall and Zouyin City are lost, we will have to rely on the Ghost Gate.

"How are you doing lately? Are you doing well?"

Liu Bai asked with concern.

This is his duty as the Fire Bearer. It just so happens that all these cults are now going to Yin City. If Yin Zhu encounters difficulties, Liu Bai doesn't mind closing the door and beating the dog.

Anyway, in this Zouyin City, the leaders of these divine religions can never gain the upper hand.

You will only be slaughtered.

Of course, we can't go too far. If we really push them into a corner, they might do something desperate.

"It's enough. After Lord Chuanhuo brought back the Yin beads from Wei State last time to solve the urgent problem, we were able to make ends meet in Yin City. Now we have a lot of surplus."

Mrs. Wen said with a smile.

"Plus, recently all the Yin-walking people in the city took the initiative to go to the forbidden area. As a result, the entire Yin-walking city has come alive."

Only if the city comes alive will there be more Yin Pearls. Otherwise, it will be dead and the Yin Pearls will be unable to move.

"That's good. If you have any difficulties, please tell... Zhang Cang immediately."

"You are welcome."

Liu Bai was very self-aware and did not let Madam Wen come to him. If such a thing really came to him, he could only push it to Zhang Cang.

"okay."

Madam Wen couldn't help laughing, "Since Lord Chuanhuo is here, why don't you just go into the warehouse and take a look?"

The warehouse is right next to it, but there is also a secret passage under the yard where Mrs. Wen is located that leads directly to the warehouse.

"No need, I feel relieved that Senior Abacus is here to guard this place."

After Liu Bai finished speaking, he turned around and looked towards the warehouse. After he finished speaking, a clear voice was heard in the hall.

"Master Chuanhuo, you are too polite."

The warehouse is the most important part of Chuanhuo Mansion, so naturally there is a Taoist priest guarding it, but compared with other Taoist priests in Zouyin City.

This one in the warehouse seems to be less famous.

Her real name seemed to be Abacus, and she was a woman who preferred quietness to movement, so the old marshal let her guard the warehouse here.

It just so happened that guarding the warehouse would be beneficial to her career, so she took the job.

"Okay, I'll go hang out somewhere else. You go about your business and don't worry about me."

Liu Bai didn't even take a sip of the tea. As soon as he stood up, the fire-transmitting robe on his body, which symbolized his status, disappeared.

He then changed into his own white robe.

Mrs. Wen was tactful enough not to ask any more questions. She just waited for a moment. She was surprised to see that Liu Bai had taken the initiative to change his appearance to cover up.

But Liu Bai didn't give her the chance to ask questions.

After concealing his appearance, he left instantly, and when he reappeared, he was already in a dilapidated teahouse in the city.

The tea shop is located in the southwest of Zouyin City. There are few people here, and the tea shop looks neglected.

So business doesn't seem to be good, and at the moment Adao is the only one drinking tea here.

The shopkeeper was a ghost, a middle-aged man who looked very leisurely. Seeing that there was no one around, he just sat there reading a book.

In just a blink of an eye, he discovered that there was a young man opposite Adao. He didn't know him, but this was normal.

Adao's friends are all over Zouyin City.

Pick out ten people at random, and eight of them will say they are Adao’s friends.

Among the other two, one would say that he is Adao’s mortal brother, and the other would say that he is Adao’s mortal enemy.

Of course, it is often said that the one who is Adao’s mortal enemy is the real brother.

So the shopkeeper just took a look and ignored it. He also noticed that since the young man came, he could no longer hear the voices of Adao and the other man.

"Why, what are you doing here?"

After Liu Bai sat down, he glanced at the table and saw a pot of green tea, two plates of dried fruits, and a small plate of peanuts and melon seeds.

He picked up a peanut, peeled it skillfully, and put it into his mouth.

Fragrant.

"Following."

Adao picked up a teacup and poured a cup for his boss.

"Who are you following? Why do you need to do it yourself, Adao?" Liu Bai took the tea. He was not in a hurry to drink it even though it was scalding hot.

"A purple-robed temple priest from the military strategist sneaked in here, acting very sneaky."

The purple-robed temple priest is similar to the deputy leader of a cult, and his strength and realm are both divine.

"He changed his appearance several times along the way. If I hadn't known him, I would have been left behind by him." Ah Dao was originally from the State of Wei, so it was normal for him to know some people from the Divine Religion.

As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed to a small courtyard in front of him on the right.

There is a jujube tree planted in front of the yard, which is quite conspicuous, but the gate is closed at this time.

"military commander?"

Liu Bai picked up the tea and took a sip, "There's no proof of the truth in it."

"This does not."

"That's easy."

Liu Bai put down the tea and was about to use the Yin City formation to see what was going on inside.

But the door behind the jujube tree suddenly opened, and a middle-aged man in a brown robe walked out. He looked quite plump, like a traveling businessman.

After going out, he patted his belly and looked around.

Liu Bai didn't move either. He believed that since A Dao dared to watch here openly, he would be able to avoid being discovered by the other party.

Sure enough, seeing that no one noticed him, a beautiful woman came out from behind the door and leaned against it to look.

Liu Bai looked at A Dao in front of him suspiciously. Why did this situation seem to be a little wrong?
This way, it probably looks like someone is looking for a lover.

Ah Dao remained calm, picked up the teacup in front of him and drank it all, then said with a slightly sullen face:
"This man's name is Kang Shan. He was originally a doctor in the Ministry of War of our Wei State, and later joined the military strategist."

"He is not the kind of person who would covet beauty. There are only two things that can affect his state of mind. One is strength, and the other is Yin Pearl."

"After the decline of the Wei royal family, he joined the military because he heard that the true gods in heaven could make people attain enlightenment out of thin air."

Adao said a lot in one breath, and everything was very formal.

This is very different from his usual image of always being cheerful and joking.

"Do you know him well?" Liu Bai asked.

"Before he joined the military, he made a fortune from the Ministry of War. It wasn't a lot of Yin Pearls, but because of that Yin Pearl, tens of thousands of people in Dongzhou were killed or injured."

Adao didn't explain in detail, but looking at his calm appearance, he was suppressing the anger in his heart.

Adao has always been a person who helps the weak and fights against the strong.

"Then what else is there to say? Just draw your sword. Whether it's Wu Lie's side or Yincheng's side, I can help you handle it."

Liu Bai said it calmly.

It's just a display of divine power. He believes that Adao has the ability to do so, and he also believes that he, the Fire Transmitter, has the face to do so.

"No hurry. If I had to use a knife, I would have done it a long time ago. I just want to see what he wants to do by being so sneaky."

While the two were talking, Kangshan, the former military officer of the Wei Kingdom and current purple-robed temple priest of the Wushen Cult, also said goodbye to the beautiful woman and walked west along the street.

With Liu Bai here, A Dao didn't follow.

No matter how much he follows, he is not as useful as Liu Bai, the fire transmitter who can control the Yincheng magic formation.

And there are only three people in Yin City who can control this magic circle.

The old marshal, the sword-hanging officer and the fire bearer.

In fact, this was indeed the case. Liu Bai was indeed staring at Kang Shan as he left, and he found that he had changed his appearance as soon as he walked out of the street.

This look is indeed sneaky.

Liu Bai's mind immediately moved, and the power of the magic circle rippled slightly. He looked down from above and directly saw the situation in the yard.

It would have been fine if I hadn't read it, but once I did, I realized that it was indeed quite interesting.

Because the beautiful woman who had sent Kangshan out earlier, after closing the door, shook her body and turned into a man.

Judging from his aura, he is still a god.

There are not many gods walking in Yin City, only dozens of them, and Liu Bai in Chuanhuo Mansion also has information about them.

So he recognized who this god was with just one look.

Yu Huaian was from Yuyang City in the State of Chu, but he was not an official. He was just a leisurely wanderer, so he must have been very talented, otherwise he would not have gotten to this point.

Liu Bai didn't know much about his news inside the pass, but he knew everything about his news after he came to Zou Yin City.

He has been coming to this Yin City for sixty or seventy years. Every time evil spirits attack the city, he is considered brave in killing them.

This god-level evil spirit has killed six of them.

In addition, he has a very calm personality and does not provoke others. He can talk to anyone he meets, so he is quite popular.

Therefore, the evaluations of him in Chuanhuo Mansion were quite positive.

"Be capable of great responsibility and do your best."

In this way, if there really is any problem with Kangshan, Yu Huaian would not be able to get involved with him.

Of course, it is also possible that everyone in Chuanhuo Mansion and even Yincheng was deceived by Yu Huaian's appearance.

"Why, did you find anything?"

Adao asked.

"The beautiful woman you just saw was Yu Huaian."

"What? It's him?!"

There were only a few gods walking around in Yin City, so Ah Dao naturally knew them all.

Yu Huaian is quite easy to talk to, so Adao has a good relationship with him.

“That’s a bit interesting.”

A Dao stroked the blue stubble on his chin and said with a frown.

"Don't worry, I'll take a look again."

After Liu Bai finished speaking, he started to stare at the two people again, but he didn't find anything unusual as he kept staring.

Kang Shan of the Wushen Cult went all the way back to a courtyard in Zouyin City. Liu Bai also knew that courtyard was the base of the Wushen Cult in Zouyin City.

There are also magic circles guarding inside, which were set up by Lu Lazi himself.

Therefore, Liu Bai didn't dare to continue investigating, for fear of alerting the enemy.

Yu Huaian on the other side was even less interesting. After seeing Kang Shan off, he sat alone in the study, playing music, and he was enjoying it very much.

"No rush. I have nothing to do anyway, so I'll just keep an eye on them for a few more days."

After listening to Liu Bai's words, A Dao also made the suggestion.

"Well, I'll talk to Zhang Cang again and ask him to pay attention."

It involves the Wushen Cult and the gods appearing in the city, so it is more or less a big deal. But the main thing is that nothing big can happen in Zouyin City now.

After Liu Bai went back to find Zhang Cang and told him about this, Zhang Cang also took it very seriously.

Said he would look into the matter.

Once he agreed, Liu Bai felt relieved.

It was getting dark and Liu Bai was ready to go back, but at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded in his ears.

"I am back."

Old Marshal!
He and Zhang Cang looked at each other. Obviously, they both heard the voice transmission.

"Walk."

The two men disappeared immediately, and when they appeared next time, they had already reached the top of the city.

The old marshal was still leaning on the city wall as before, but this time he looked at Zhang Cang deeply, his eyes were obscure and difficult to understand.

Instead, Zhang Cang scratched his head embarrassedly and laughed.

"I know everything that happened in the city these days. Everything is fine. Thank you for your hard work."

"This is what the younger generation should do."

After Zhang Cang finished speaking, he glanced to the west with a hint of worry in his eyes, "This Xuandao official has been out for a while, but there has been no news from him."

"It doesn't matter."

The old marshal shook his head slightly, not worried.

After saying that, he looked at Liu Bai again, and after a little consideration, he said, "Little Liu, get ready. Your mother will come to look for you in the next few days."

"My mother? Looking for me?"

Liu Bai pointed at himself, extremely surprised.

Even the grass poked its head out, with a hint of excitement in its eyes.

"The Willow God is coming to walk through Yin City?"

Zhang Cang was even more surprised, but this surprise was mixed with a hint of worry. It was beyond his expectation that Liu Qingyi would come to Yincheng at this time.

The old marshal hummed, but did not look worried.

"Just passing by."

"Taboo?"

Zhang Cang understood instantly.

"Do you want to take me with you?" Liu Bai also understood.

"She said so."

After the old marshal finished speaking, Liu Bai went back with a hint of expectation and joy.

This Madam Liu wanted to take him to a forbidden place. Needless to say, Liu Bai knew that she was probably going to see the old temple priest.

But why did Madam Liu go to see the old temple priest?
Liu Bai couldn't figure it out, so he could only ask Xiaocao.

"Based on Xiaocao's understanding of the Empress, she went to the old temple keeper probably to ask him who is the best in the world."

"..."

Walk to the Yinchengtou.

Liu Bai left, but Zhang Cang didn't leave yet.

The old marshal looked at Zhang Cang who was sitting in front of him and laughed, "You are a bricklayer who is really good at hiding things. You are only willing to reveal them now."

"Then has the old marshal ever thought that I just took that step in the past few days?"

Zhang Cang blinked and asked with a smile.
