Chapter 35 Invitation

The visitor was tall and thin, with an old-fashioned face, a goatee still growing under his chin, his face was tense, and he looked very stern.

"This man is... Ludin?"

Yu Ci recognized this person.Like Lu Yang, this Lu Ding is also the steward of the mansion, and is also known for being strict and harsh, but Lu Yang is in charge of routine affairs, and this one is in charge of chores. He is the last of the stewards.Yu Ci was deeply impressed by him, because this person was responsible for the purchase of shrimp whiskers from outsiders, and he was the one who made the decision yesterday to have the store send people to follow and follow him to dig out Yu Ci's details.Of course, all of this was included in the diagram of the gods, and Yu Ci knew about it.

Lu Ding is a bully, usually it is best to show off. When he was away from the meeting hall, he stretched out his hand and called a servant beside him to call for someone. There is an invisible demon eye in the void, watching his every move.

In a short while, the leader of the samurai and the deacons below came to take orders.Lu Ding sat on a stone by the side of the road, and spoke slowly, which made Yu Ci see very clearly, and just the first sentence made him laugh.

What Lu Ding said was: "The master of the palace has ordered that the whole city be under control, seal the city gates, and keep the person who has changed the four Sanyang talisman swords in the city. Find traces, please if you can, please, if you can't Please also please, be sure to 'invite' that person to come to the house as a guest!"

The leader of the samurai left as ordered, and the deacon at the side was used to Lu Ding and was familiar with the inside story, so he couldn't help but wonder: "Why did you suddenly mobilize the crowd? Although there are many [-] stalks of shrimps, if you are determined to do business without money , it’s not too difficult to get enough.”

Lu Ding glanced at his subordinates, and smiled with his beard: "If it is normal, let alone [-] plants, even [-] plants are nothing special. But what is the view of the mansion master? The old man said that out of [-] plants, three out of [-] plants will be successful." It shows that the herbal medicine picked by this person is not only good in appearance, but also has sufficient activity, and its medicinal power is much more abundant than usual, so that it can have such a result. Such a medicinal herb, usually Dozens of plants are fine, but I don’t want thousands of plants appearing at once... Hehe, if this person doesn’t know a special place or method of picking ‘medicine’, who would believe it?”

It's really a good idea to see it in person!

Yu Ci would applaud in the inn.The deacon also had a face of sudden realization, which made Lu Ding very satisfied, and continued to wake up: "Nowadays, in and outside the city, a bunch of wolfish and ambitious people are envious of the 'specialist' power in the mansion, so annoying. You guys need to be more cautious when handling affairs, and share the worries of the Palace Master..."

The deacon nodded again and again, Lu Ding was quite satisfied, and then ordered: "It's either tonight or tomorrow, and the palace master is going out, you buy water as usual for ten people, there must be no mistakes."

The deacon understood, and turned around to handle the matter. Obviously, as Ludin said, this is a common practice, so there is no need to say more.

Yu Ci in the inn was curious, Jin Huan just came back, where is he going?

He stood up and took the Illuminating God Bronze Mirror.No matter how much he disdains the behavior of Bai Ri Mansion, he cannot ignore the danger inside.Cliff City is the only large-scale settlement within a radius of [-] li. Although there are hundreds of thousands of residents, there are not many people who are born. For a local snake like Bairi Mansion, it is very difficult to find out the strangers in the city in a short period of time. It didn't take much effort. If I didn't do this before, it was just to maintain a layer of face.

But now, with Jin Huan's order, this layer of skin was peeled off.

The city obviously couldn't stay any longer.Yu Ci came out of the inn slowly, although the speed was slow, he never hesitated in the direction, and walked towards the east gate closest to the inn, gradually picking up speed on the way, the precipice city has walls and gates, but the city There were no guards inside or outside the gate.This is because the city-state has no foreign enemies, even if it does, it will not be delayed by the city walls.The main purpose of building the city wall was to guard against the ferocious beasts in the mountains. The Bairi Mansion also organized some civilians to form an army with weapons to form a guard. They were responsible for the security of the city on weekdays, and occasionally helped the Bairi Mansion do some things.Like deploying control over the whole city, blocking the city gates, etc...

However, when Yu Ci passed by the guard station at the east gate, there was still no movement here.Yu Ci smiled slightly, and walked out of the city gate so easily, leaving the precipice city behind.

After leaving the city gate and walking a few miles, Yu Ci was a little surprised, this place was unexpectedly lively.Pedestrians are like weaving, and most of the wealthy families in the city are traveling with their families. Small merchants and hawkers on the side of the road are shouting one after another, which is unprecedented in the previous two days.

He randomly asked someone to ask, that person had a good temper, and he was not annoyed when he was caught. He just looked him up and down, and smiled after a long time: "Today is the day of becoming a Taoist in Xuanyin, you Taoist priest, go to pay homage." It's good to be clear, do you still want to pay respects to Xuanyin Shangxian?"

Yu Ci suddenly realized that it turned out to be the Xuanyin Sect.Twenty miles outside the west city gate is the "Youqiu Palace" where the golden body of Xuanyin Shangxian is enshrined, and he also knows it.

The Xuanyin Sect has just gained a firm foothold in the Precipice City in the past ten years, but it has developed very rapidly, and soon became a force that cannot be ignored around the Precipice City.The reason why the situation was spread out so quickly is related to the large amount of money that the Bairi government bought the shrimp's whiskers.Legend has it that this sect is a branch of ancient shamanism. It has obtained some methods of exorcising beasts and ghosts. If you can join the sect, ask for a spell blessed by the immortal master in the sect, and you will be able to avoid danger. The legend is also very effective.

Most of the residents of this city who went to the Tianrift Valley to collect 'medicine' believed in Xuanyin Sect.In addition, Xuanyin sect gives special preferential treatment to female believers, and [-]% to [-]% of the immortal masters in the sect are women. Therefore, many women in the city worship this sect. Fairy incense is more prosperous.

But in the eyes of a monk like Yu Ci, what he saw was something else.

In the past ten years, the Xuanyin sect has become one of the most powerful forces in the precipice city, and it has preached unscrupulously in the city. This has a lot to do with the indulgence of the Bairi government.Yu Ci heard rumors in the mansion that this sect has a profound background, it is said that it is a branch of a certain big sect in the Eastern pole, even if it is thousands of miles away, the White Sun Mansion should pay three respects.In addition, the Xuanyin sect is willing to develop common believers, never gathers expert monks, and does not pose a threat to the White Sun Mansion, which is also an important reason.

Speaking of which, Yu Ci was really interested in going to Youqiu Palace to take a look, but unfortunately, there was some commotion near the west gate at this time, presumably the order from the Bairi Mansion had finally been delivered, but it was a pity that there was no The meaning is just to 'disturb' people's hearts.Yu Ci sneered in his heart, following the flow of people offering incense and good faith, he seemed to be slowing down, and they were far away in a blink of an eye.

By the time Yu Ci unfolded the picture of the gods again, the sky was already dark.

The location Yu Ci chose was thirty miles west of the city. Although it couldn't take in the panoramic view of the precipice city, it happened to enclose the entire Danya within.The search operation in the city is doomed to return in vain, and the enlightenment ceremony of Xuanyin Shangxian is also doomed to a dismal end. With such a result, there may be some friction between the two sides.This kind of thing can't be revealed according to the divine map, but Yu Ci can guess it.He laughed very much at this.

Corresponding to Bai Rifu's attitude, Yu Ci consciously adjusted his position.The monks and gods in the Bairi Mansion didn't know that there was such a result, but even if they knew, after laughing and saying "overreaching their own capabilities", they would not have any more worries.They are still making preparations for their trip in an orderly manner and cleaning up the mess in the city.Of course, this kind of thing can be done by the people below. A big housekeeper like Lu Yang just needs to wait in the yard to go.

When Yu Ci put his thoughts into the small courtyard where Lu Yang lived, he was surprised by the situation in the courtyard.

In the only two-foot-square open space in the courtyard, two people were fighting.It is not accurate to say that they are fighting each other. There is a distance of one foot between the two sides, and they just swing their sleeves, lift their legs, and occasionally turn a direction. Trying or practicing.

Among the two people who fought against each other, one was Lu Yang, and the other was similar in size to him, but had a round face. Even when he was fighting, he smiled very kindly. Yu Ci had seen it before, and this person was another steward in the mansion. Kuang Zheng.That is, Lu Yang's apprentice's uncle.The two stewards were linked together through this young man and formed an alliance, encircling a large area of ​​power in the mansion.

Lu Yang's apprentice was named Kuang Yanqi, and apart from being the bond between the two stewards, he also had something to value.Half a year ago, when he was only 20 years old, he stepped into the realm of supernatural powers, his progress far surpassed his peers, and his aptitude was truly astonishing.

Lu Yang was very concerned about this apprentice, seeing him as the greatest hope to inherit the mantle, and during this time, he came to strike while the iron was hot, teaching him various knowledge related to the realm of the gods.A few words in it can also benefit Yu Ci who is "on the side" a lot, so Yu Ci likes to come here very much. His lip-reading skills have improved, and more than half of them are honed in this yard.

Standing under the eaves by the courtyard was Kuang Yanqi. At this moment, the young man was standing in the aftermath of the strong wind, squinting his eyes, as if he was trying to understand something.

"With the teacher's advice, it's just different..."

Yu Ci didn't hide his jealousy, but when he looked at Lu Yang and Kuang Zheng again, he felt that his "eyes" were a little blurry.I thought it was because I was tired from looking at it, but compared the light and shadow colors in the courtyard with those under the eaves, I realized that it was not my problem, but that the image of the Illuminating Map was not as clear as the surrounding area.

Yu Ci collected his mind, gathered his energy and raised his strength before looking over.Strange to say, this time he raised his strength, and when his eyes touched the changing scene, the void in front of him suddenly became trance, as if a layer of light veil was covered and lifted, that is, after such a change, the world in his eyes was different again .

According to the picture of God, the battle between the two is still the same.However, in his eyes, Lu Yang's head became transparent!

Of course, that wasn't really transparent, but a layer of light coming out of his skull.It was orange-red in color, and even the flesh and skull could not block the penetration of this light. Through this light, he vaguely saw a vague light source, resident in his brain, and the scene was extremely strange.

Looking at it in a blink of an eye, Kuang Zheng is also in the same situation, except that the light emitted from the brain is not an orange-red light, but a circle of light purple hairs. This light is not as penetrating as the former, and Yu Ci can't see it clearly What the hell is going on in his brain.

Yu Ci spent the past few days wandering around the Bairi Mansion, and also 'touched' some of the details of the two stewards.Knowing that the two of them are both masters of Yinshen and capable of wandering out of their bodies, so the glowing thing is the Yinshen?

It turns out that it can be seen through the physical body.

Yu Ci suddenly discovered that there seemed to be a little deviation in his previous cognition.
