Ask the Mirror Chapter 25: Invitation
lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Asking Mirror!
The person who came was tall and thin, with an old face and a goatee under his chin. His face was taut and very stern.
"This person is... Ludin?"
Yu Ci recognized this person. Like Lu Yang, Ludin was also in charge of the palace, and he was also known for being strict and demanding. However, Lu Yang was in charge of the general affairs, while this one was in charge of miscellaneous affairs, and he was the last among all the managers. Yu Ci was deeply impressed by him because this person was responsible for the purchase of shrimp grass from outside. Yesterday, he was the one who made the decision to have the store send people to follow him and dig out the details of Yu Ci. Of course, all of this was included in the Illuminating Picture and was noticed by Yu Ci.
Ludin is a man who flatters his superiors and bullies his subordinates, and usually it is best to put on a show. Once he was far away from the meeting hall, he reached out and called a servant nearby and asked him to call someone. He slowed down his steps and walked slowly forward with his hands behind his back. , but he didn’t know that there was an invisible demonic eye in the void, watching his every move.
In a short while, the leader of the warriors in the mansion and the deacons below came to take orders. Ludin sat on a stone by the road and spoke slowly, allowing Yu Ci to see clearly. Just the first sentence made him laugh.
What Ludin said is: "The master of the palace has an order to deploy control throughout the city, seal the city gate, and keep the man who has changed to four Sanyang talisman swords in the city. Find out the traces and ask for help if possible." Please, please, even if you can’t, be sure to ‘invite’ that person to come to your house as a guest!”
The warrior leader responded to the order and left. The deacon beside him was accustomed to Ludin and was familiar with the inside story. He couldn't help but wonder: "Why did you suddenly mobilize a large number of troops? Although four thousand shrimp beetles are a lot, if you are cruel enough to do that, It’s not difficult to make up enough money if you don’t have a capital.”
Lu Ding glanced at his men, twitching his beard and smiling: "If it is ordinary, let alone four thousand, even forty thousand is nothing special. But what is the vision of the master of the palace? His old man said, among four thousand Three plants were grown, which shows that the herbs picked by this person are not only of good quality, but also have sufficient activity and much stronger potency than usual to achieve such results. Usually, dozens of such herbs are good. , but I didn’t expect thousands of them to appear at once... Hey, if this person doesn’t know a special place or method for collecting herbs, who would believe it?”
If you have seen it in person, you really mean well!
Yu Ci applauded in the inn. The deacon also had a look of realization on his face, which made Ludin very satisfied, and he continued to remind him: "Nowadays, outside the city and outside the city, there are a bunch of ambitious people, looking at the 'special office' power in the house with jealousy and eagerness, which is really annoying. You guys need to be more careful and attentive when doing things, and share the worries of the palace master..."
The deacon nodded repeatedly, and Ludin was quite satisfied. He then ordered: "Either tonight or tomorrow, the master of the palace will be out, so you must buy water as usual for ten people, without making any mistakes."
The deacon understood what he was doing and turned around to do his work. Obviously, as Ludin said, this is a common occurrence and there is no need to say more.
Yu Ci in the inn was curious. Jin Huan had just come back, where was he going?
He stood up and collected the Illuminating Bronze Mirror. Even if he disdains Bai Ri Mansion's behavior, he cannot ignore the danger inside. Cliff City is the only large-scale settlement within a radius of thousands of miles. Although there are hundreds of thousands of residents, there are really not many people with faces. For a local snake like Bairi Mansion, it is impossible to count the strangers in the city in a short time. It doesn't take much effort. If you didn't do this before, you can still maintain a layer of face.
Now, with Jin Huan’s order, this layer of skin was peeled off.
Obviously we can no longer stay in the city. Yu Ci walked out of the inn slowly. Although the speed was slow, he did not hesitate in the direction. He walked towards the east gate closest to the inn, slowly speeding up on the way.
The cliff city has walls and gates, but there are no soldiers guarding them inside or outside the gates. This is because the city-state has no external enemies, and even if it does, it will not be delayed by the city wall. The city wall was mainly built to guard against ferocious beasts in the mountains. Bairi Mansion also organized some civilians to form an armed army and form a guard station. They were responsible for the security of the city on weekdays and occasionally helped Bairi Mansion with some things. Like deploying control throughout the city, blocking city gates, etc...
However, when Yu Ci passed by the garrison point of the East Gate Guard Station, there was no movement here. Yu Ci smiled slightly and walked out of the city gate so easily, leaving the cliff city behind.
After walking a few miles out of the city gate, Yu Ci was a little surprised. The place was surprisingly lively. There were many pedestrians, many of the well-to-do people in the city going out with their families, and the shouts from the small merchants and hawkers on the roadside were one after another, which was unprecedented in the previous two days.
He randomly picked up a person and asked him. The person had a good temper and was not annoyed at being picked up. He just looked at him up and down for a long time before smiling and saying: "Today is the enlightenment day of Xuanyin Master. You, a Taoist priest, It’s enough to go and worship Sanqing. Do you also want to pay homage to Xuanyin?”
Yu Ci immediately realized that it was 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 about it.
The Xuanyin Sect has just established a foothold in Cliff City in the past ten years, but it has developed very rapidly and has quickly become a force that cannot be ignored around Cliff City. The reason why the situation unfolded so quickly seems to be related to Bai Rifu's large-scale acquisition of shrimp grass. Legend has it that this sect is a branch of the ancient witch sect. It has acquired some methods of exorcising animals and ghosts. If you can join the sect and ask for a spell blessed by an immortal master in the sect, you can avoid danger. The legend is that it is very effective.
Most of the residents of this city who went to the Sky Rift Valley to collect medicine believed in the Xuanyin Sect. In addition, the Xuanyin Sect gives special treatment to female believers, and 70% to 80% of the immortal masters in the sect are women. Therefore, many women in the city believe in this sect. After seeking efficacious results, they benefit their families and make the incense of Xuanyin Shangxian enshrined more popular. Sheng.
But in the eyes of a monk like Yu Ci, he saw something else.
In the past ten years, the Xuanyin Sect has become one of the most powerful forces in Cliff City, and it has spread its religion unscrupulously in the city. This has a lot to do with Bai Ri Mansion's laissez-faire. Yu Ci heard rumors in the mansion that this sect had a profound background and was said to be a branch of a large sect in the East. Even though they were thousands of miles apart, Bairi Mansion still had to pay respect. In addition, Xuanyin Sect is willing to develop civilian followers, never gathers master monks, and does not pose a threat to Bairi Mansion. This is also an important reason.
Speaking of which, Yu Ci was really interested in going to Youqiu Palace to have a look. Unfortunately, at this time, there was some commotion near the west city gate. It must have been that the order from Bairi Mansion was finally delivered. Unfortunately, this was no longer the case. The meaning is just to confuse people's hearts. Yu Ci sneered in her heart, following the flow of people offering incense and good faith, she seemed to be slowing down but was actually getting sick, and she was far away in the blink of an eye.
By the time Yu Ci unfolded the picture of the gods again, the sky was already dark.
The location chosen by Yu Ci is located thirty miles west of the city. Although it cannot provide a panoramic view of the cliff city, it happens to encompass the entire Danya. The search operation in the city is doomed to be fruitless, and the enlightenment ceremony of Xuanyin Shangxian is also doomed to end miserably. As a result, there will probably be some friction between the two sides. This kind of thing cannot be revealed according to the divine plan, but Yu Ci can guess it. He smiled very much at this.
Corresponding to Bai Rifu's attitude, Yu Ci consciously adjusted his position. The monks in Bairi Mansion did not know that there would be such a result. Even if they knew it, they would not have any worries after laughing and saying "not overestimating one's own abilities." They are still making preparations for the 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 can just wait in the yard to set off.
When Yu Ci turned his thoughts to the small courtyard where Lu Yang lived, he was surprised by the scene in the courtyard.
In the only two-foot-wide open space in the independent courtyard, two people were fighting. It's not accurate to say that they were fighting each other. There was a foot long distance between the two sides. They only waved their sleeves, raised their legs, and occasionally turned in one direction. Although the strong wind came and went in the middle, whistling loudly, the rhythm was clear. It looked like Trying your hand or practicing.
One of the two people fighting 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 also seen him, and this person was another member of the family. A steward controls the government. That is, Lu Yang's apprentice's uncle. The two stewards were connected through this young man and formed an alliance, encircling a large number of forces in the mansion.
Lu Yang’s apprentice is named Kuang Yanqi. In addition to being the link between the two stewards, he is also worthy of attention in his own right. Half a year ago, when he was only twenty years old, he entered the realm of divine connection. His progress was far ahead of his peers, and his aptitude was truly astonishing.
Lu Yang is very concerned about this disciple and regards him as the best hope to inherit the mantle. During this period, he will strike while the iron is hot and teach him various knowledge related to the realm of the gods. The few words in it can also benefit Yu Ci "on the side" a lot, so Yu Ci likes to come here very much. Most of his lip-reading skills have been improved in this yard.
Under the eaves of the courtyard, standing was Kuang Yanqi. At this time, the young man stood in the aftermath of the strong wind, squinting his eyes, as if he was experiencing something.
"It's different when there is a teacher's guidance..."
Yu Ci did not hide his jealousy, but when he turned to look at Lu Yang and Kuang Zheng, his "eyes" felt a little blurry. I thought it was because I was tired from looking at it, but when I compared the colors of light and shadow in the courtyard with those under the eaves, I realized that it was not my problem, but that the image of the illuminated picture on this area was not as clear as the surroundings.
Yu Ci calmed down, gathered his energy and strength before looking over. It's strange to say that this time he tried harder, and when his eyes touched the changing scene, the void in front of him suddenly became trance-like, as if a veil was covering it and then uncovering it. After such a change, the world in his eyes looked different. .
In the Illustration Picture, the two people are still fighting. However, in his eyes, Lu Yang's head became transparent!
Of course, it was not truly transparent, but there was a layer of light coming out of his skull. It was orange-red in color, and even flesh and bones could not block the penetration of this light. Through this light, he vaguely saw a vague light source, which stayed in his mind. The scene was extremely strange.
Looking at it again, Kuang Zheng was in the same situation, but instead of orange-red light, what was emitted from his skull was a circle of light purple light. This light was not as penetrating as the former, and Yu Ci couldn't even see it. Find out what's inside his head.
Yu Ci spent the past few days wandering around Bairi Mansion, and got to know some details about the two stewards. Knowing that both of them are masters of the Yin God and can travel out of the body, so that the glowing thing is the Yin God?
It turns out that you can also see it through the physical body.
Yu Ci suddenly discovered that his previous understanding seemed to be a little off.
