Secret Dice

Chapter 536 Yuandu

Yuanyin City is located in the mountainous area in the central hinterland of Sinian. On the map, this is just an ordinary prefecture-level city in the Central Plains region. It is not large in scale, but has a very developed economy and is equipped with high-speed rail and airports.

In the eyes of ordinary people, the prosperity here is somewhat incredible. Whether it is the geographical location or the products and culture, there is nothing outstanding here. However, for some reason, the Sinian government spared no expense in building this humble town. It has all kinds of infrastructure and is the only one in the province. A prosperous city second only to the provincial capital.

But only cultivators know that this is the only way to Yuandu through conventional means.

At Yuanyin City Airport, Sun Xiaowei dragged her suitcase out of the terminal and immediately called Zhuge Zi.

"Hello? I'm here, where can I find you?" Sun Xiaowei looked around: "The airport here is bigger than I thought..."

"Look back, I've seen you!" Zhuge Zi's voice came from the phone. Sun Xiaowei looked back and found that the girl with shoulder-length hair was waving to her not far away.

The two of them left the airport together and got into a commercial vehicle. Sun Xiaowei looked at the city scene outside the window and said in surprise: "This is Yuanyin City... This is my first time here. How are we going to Yuandu soon?" "

"Yuandu is located in the mountainous area south of Yuanyin. It is surrounded by a barrier. Outsiders can't even see it, let alone go in... But I have applied for permission from the Yuanxiu Society, and a special car will take us in."

"Special car? What kind of one?" Sun Xiaowei was a little excited.

"Isn't this where you sit?" Zhuge Zi spread his hands.

"This?" Sun Xiaowei looked at it curiously and found that this was an ordinary business car. It was not a famous brand. It seemed to be a few years old. The interior was a little white and the leather of the seats was also cracked. Judging from the driver's operation, it seemed that Still a manual transmission.

"It looks a bit...ordinary..."

"Oh, little girl, don't talk nonsense." Zhuge Zi hadn't expressed his position yet, but the driver in the front row was dissatisfied: "This is an urban area, it's not convenient for me to use it. When we leave the city, you will know this car It’s awesome!”

Sun Xiaowei's eyes lit up when she heard this: "What? Will this car transform? Can it grow wings, show off its rocket jets, and fly directly into the sky?"

Unlike other girls, as a creator, Sun Xiaowei is very interested in mechanical things.

"That's not possible." The driver chuckled: "But there are other functions..."

Yuanyin City is not big. As he was talking, the car had already left the city, heading south, and soon came to a secluded mountain road. Before he knew it, there were no other vehicles in sight.

"That's almost it..." the driver said, and suddenly he turned the gear **** and shifted into a gear he had never seen before. Then he saw the whole car glow with an abnormal light, the body began to deform, and the leather seats turned into Silk upholstery, the metal body turned into an unnamed wood The material, the glass on the window turned into a curtain, even the driver's driving seat changed its position, the steering wheel in the driver's hand turned into reins, and the front and engine at the front turned into two tall and majestic horses, pulling A simple and gorgeous carriage galloped forward!

"Wow!" Sun Xiaowei stuck her head out of the window, looked at the woods flying backwards, and exclaimed sincerely: "It's faster than a car!"

"It's almost over, two beauties, hurry up!" the driver reminded, shaking the reins in his hands, the two horses suddenly turned, led the carriage down the road, and plunged into the woods.

"Wow!" Seeing the car rushing towards a rock wall, Sun Xiaowei screamed in fear and retracted her head into the car. But the carriage was so fast that before she could react, it had already gone straight into the rock wall.

Sun Xiaowei looked around with a shocked face. She could see the clear mountain structure outside the window. The entire carriage seemed to be blurred, actually traveling through the solid mountain!

"Are we heading towards Yuandu?" Sun Xiaowei swallowed: "No wonder ordinary people can't find it. Who can cross the mountain?"

"It's not just the mountains that separate Yuandu from the secular world." Zhuge Zi introduced calmly, obviously this was not his first time here.

"What else is there?" Sun Xiaowei asked.

"You'll see it soon." As soon as Zhuge Zi finished speaking, the scene outside the window suddenly opened up, and a beam of white light pierced Sun Xiaowei's eyes. When she got used to the light, she realized that there was an endless blue sky and white clouds outside, and the carriage was speeding on a translucent colorful bridge.

"Are we running on...a rainbow? Weren't we still on the ground just now?" Sun Xiaowei's eyes widened and she looked down, but she couldn't see the ground at all.

"We have officially entered Yuandu." The driver smiled proudly: "Girl, look forward, there is the headquarters of Yuanxiu Society!"

Sun Xiaowei stuck out her head and looked forward, finding that the Rainbow Bridge led all the way to a majestic castle floating in the air. The castle has an obvious classical style, with rows of buildings of various colors, carved beams and painted beams, and the surrounding clouds and rainbows, making it look like a fairy palace.

There is more than a rainbow bridge connecting the Immortal Palace. There are more than a dozen bridges of different heights in all directions, each of which leads to a floating city in the sky, forming a huge complex of buildings in the sky... No! It should be said that it is a city in the sky!

"This...couldn't it be heaven?" Sun Xiaowei's eyes widened, completely shocked by the spectacular sight in front of her.

"It's not wrong..." The driver introduced with a smile: "When we first built Yuandu, we did refer to the legendary Heavenly Court... However, for practicality, we also made a lot of modifications, and it became what it is now."

The carriage came to a stop in front of the main city gate. The driver got out and opened the door: "You two beauties, I will send you here. There will be internal staff in front to take you in."

Sun Xiaowei and Zhuge Zi got out of the car and soon met a girl wearing an ancient uniform.

The reason why it is called ancient style is because the girl's clothes are not ancient clothes. In order to facilitate movement, the main body of the clothes is still the frame of modern clothes, but there are many more retro designs in the details, combining modern practicality and traditional classical style. The aesthetics are perfectly combined. This kind of clothes, if worn on the street, will not only make people's eyes bright, but will not appear inconsistent.

"Miss Zi from the Zhuge family, and Ms. Sun Xiaowei, right?" The girl didn't look older than them, but her behavior was dignified and her temperament was much more mature than the two school girls.

The two women nodded in agreement, and the staff member smiled and said: "I am Mulan Shi, a Grade B official at the Yuan Xiu Hui headquarters. I am entrusted by Mr. Yuan to receive you two here. Please come with me."

With that said, Mulanshi led the two of them through the majestic gate and walked into the city.

"Second-class official?" Zhuge Zi was very surprised when he heard this: "Miss Mu is so young, she is already a second-class official?"

"Is this level very high?" Sun Xiaowei had no idea. As soon as she said the words, she felt something was wrong. She hurriedly explained to Mulanshi: "I'm sorry, I'm not questioning, I just don't understand and am a little curious..."

"It doesn't matter." Mulanshi explained as he walked: "The staff of the Yuanxiu Society headquarters, collectively called officials, are divided into four levels: A, B, C and D. Above level A, there are the president, the eight elders, etc. "As we all know, the status of the elders of the headquarters is equivalent to that of the presidents of the main branches. However, because most of the current eight elders have served as presidents of the branches, strictly speaking, the status of the elders of the headquarters is higher than that of the presidents of the branches. It’s a little taller.”

"As for the Grade-A officials who are second only to the leadership, they are roughly equivalent to the vice-president level of each branch... because there are often Grade-A officials from the headquarters who are sent down to the branches to serve as leaders or secretary-generals."

"As for Class B officials, although they are only one level behind Class A, their status is much lower. They can be considered higher-level wage earners." As he spoke, Mulanshi smiled playfully.

"Miss Mu is being humble." Zhuge Zi added: "The branches you just mentioned refer to large branches such as Ningdong, Southwest, and Guanxi. As for the many other small and medium-sized branches, let alone the leaders and secretary-generals. The vice president level, even the president, may not be as good as the A-level officials at the headquarters. There are even examples of B-level officials being transferred to be presidents of small branches.”

"What Miss Zi said is true." Mulanshi nodded: "After all, we are just an association, not a real bureaucracy. The level is not so absolute. In many cases, reputation and strength are more important."

"For example, Mr. Yuan, although he currently only serves as the commander in Ningdong and is considered a vice-president, his status in the association is much more than that. Even the president respects him very much."

While they were talking, several people had already arrived at a hall, which seemed to be a conference room. Many people were sitting here. They were not wearing the uniforms of the headquarters, and their temperament did not look like official people. It was speculated that they probably saw official officials. Announcement, the casual cultivators were summoned.

"You two, please wait here for a moment. Mr. Yuan will be here later." Mulan Shi led the two women to sit down, then said goodbye and left.

Some of the people in the hall were whispering to each other, some were closing their eyes and concentrating, and some were playing with their things. When they saw two young girls coming in, most of them didn't take it seriously and continued to do their own things.

Sun Xiaowei looked around and asked Zhuge Zi in a low voice: "Isn't there anyone else from your Zhuge family?"

Zhuge Zi replied: "I heard from the elders in the clan that Mr. Yuan contacted the clan leader at noon on the first day of the Lunar New Year. He has already tried one round, but unfortunately he couldn't be of any help..."

"Not even the Zhuge family?" Sun Xiaowei said in surprise: "Then what's the use of us coming?"

"After all, we are also parties involved, so it would be nice if we could provide some information."

While they were talking, another tall woman who looked very similar to Zhuge Zi walked in from the door. As soon as she entered, she walked towards the two of them.

"Xiao Zi, I heard you are here."

"Sister?" Zhuge Zi was surprised when he saw the woman: "Why are you here too?"

"Yesterday I accompanied the clan leader and the others. The others left, leaving me here to take care of them. At first I was wondering why I was left as a junior, but it turns out you are coming." As she said that, she looked at Sun Xiaowei: "This The bit is…”

"Oh, she is Sun Xiaowei who is participating in the mission with me this time..." Zhuge Zi introduced Sun Xiaowei again: "This is my sister, Zhuge Lan."

Upon hearing Zhuge Lan's name, all the casual cultivators in the room turned their heads. It's not that Zhuge Lan is famous, it's that the surname Zhuge is too loud.

"My sister is so well taken care of by you!" Zhuge Lan smiled and shook hands with Sun Xiaowei. The latter nodded awkwardly and said: "No, Xiao Zi is the one who takes care of me." She secretly looked at the bright and majestic Zhuge Lan. , I said to myself that the two sisters look very similar, but have completely different personalities. This Zhugelan is free and capable, and he feels like an adult.

"By the way, sister, you were here first. Have you met Mr. Yuan?" Zhuge Zi asked.

"He is the one who asked me to come to see you." Zhuge Lan nodded: "Right now, the old man is with the girl from the Ling family. The two of them are mysterious. It seems that they have some special method to rescue the girl named... Luo "

"Is there someone from the Ling family too?" Sun Xiaowei asked in surprise.

"Only one came." Zhuge Lan nodded: "She is also from Ningdong College. She seems to be a classmate with Luo Jun, so she came to help."

"Luo Jun's classmate?" Sun Xiaowei blinked: "She's only a freshman, isn't she reliable?"

"Is it reliable?" Zhuge Lan smiled and shook his head: "Have you forgotten? Among the freshmen in Ningdong this year, there is only one girl from the Ling family."

Sun Xiaowei and Zhuge Zi thought about the rumors they had heard before, and their eyes widened: "Golden Blade Witch?!"

Zhuge Lan nodded: "I have experienced how powerful that woman is, but the teacher said that even during the omen mission, I never saw her so anxious... Who is this Luo Jun? Everyone cares about him so much. ?”

Sun Xiaowei and Zhuge Zi looked at each other and sighed.

"Sister, if you meet him, you will definitely feel that he is extraordinary." Zhuge Zi shook his head and said: "Although he is similar in age to me, he seems to be a veteran who has experienced life and death many times. Even in desperate situations, he can still remain calm and find the way to find the way. The key to breaking the situation... To be honest, let alone my peers, even among the elders, I rarely see people like him. "

"He is indeed very powerful!" Sun Xiaowei also nodded in agreement: "Leaving aside his strength, his calm temperament in the face of danger seems to have a magical power that makes people want to believe in him... Of course, compared with my idol Ye, he still has There must be a difference.”

Zhuge Lan raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "Listening to what you said, I want to meet this person more and more... I don't know how the discussion between Mr. Yuan and the girl from the Ling family is going. Is there any hope..."

Somewhere in the headquarters, Mr. Yuan looked at Ling Xin, his brows furrowed.

"Do you really plan to use that?" Mr. Yuan looked at Ling Xin: "This is the last relic left by Ling Jue to you brothers and sisters."

Ling Xin nodded: "That thing can be used three times in total. My brother and I made an appointment, once for each person, and there is one left... I want to use it here."

"If it is that thing, it is indeed very likely to succeed..." Mr. Yuan nodded: "But you can't take it out here... Come, follow me..."
