Bureau of Anomalous Biological Countermeasures Chapter 163: Huainan King Liu Xi
The Recruitment Hall was built when the old Huainan King who died in Chang'an City was alive, and the uncle Yan Jie who did not return was recruited at that time. However, the recruitment hall of the Huainan Palace can't compare with King Rui's Wentianlou in terms of scale and recruited personnel, let alone a leading sect like the alchemist.
In normal times, Wu Mian would not have any interest in this recruitment hall. However, the matter of Wangtianshan has been overwhelmed. No matter what, the recruitment hall is filled with cultivators with a certain reputation. Some of them may have seen the opening of the gate of **** a few days ago. Unlike ordinary people who have no knowledge, they may be able to hear useful news from their mouths.
After exchanging glances with Gui Bugui, the old guy reservedly agreed to the two palace officials to visit the recruitment hall. Originally, Wu Mian thought that after agreeing, he followed the two officials of the palace directly to the recruitment hall. What he didn't expect was that it was far from being as simple as he thought. The officials of the palace heard that the two master alchemists accepted the invitation. At the moment, they gave a big gift to Wu Mian and Gui Bugui again, and then the two returned to the palace to report.
Shortly after the two left, there was a sound of ritual music outside. Then the two officials came to visit with the owner of the recruitment hall. The owner of the hall is the uncle of the old Huainan king. Although there is no magic, but all the mundane affairs of the recruitment hall are handled by the head of the hall. If the relatives of the king of a country are in charge of the recruitment hall, it can be seen that the king of Huainan attaches great importance to this place.
But it's not too late, the owner of the museum learned that one of the two alchemists is the senior brother of the current Dafang Master Guangren (many years ago), and the other, the white-haired brother is even more incredible, the senior Lian Guang When Ren saw him, he would pay homage to him. After knowing the identities of the two people, the owner of the museum began to be restless. After a few words of flattery, he said that it was not early and did not dare to disturb the rest of the two famous alchemists, and finally left the inn respectfully.
In the early morning of the next day, someone knocked on the door of Wu Mian's guest room, and then the shopkeeper's voice said softly outside the door: "The two master alchemists woke up..." This voice said It was extremely small, and if it weren't for the fact that there were no other noises interfering in the morning, it would not be easy to hear what he said.
Two of the three people in the room were masters among the monks. Before the shopkeeper approached their room, Wu Mian and Gui Bugui already knew. However, apart from the shopkeeper outside the door, Wu Mian also felt that there were people standing outside the inn. At this time, I came to test whether they were awake. Could it be that I asked the remnants of Tianlou to seek revenge?
Relying on the high skills of the three of them, Wu Mian and Gui Bugui looked at each other, smiled coldly, and said, "Open your eyes, what can you say..." Wu Mian said Before he could finish speaking, the sound of ritual music was suddenly heard outside the door. This music was different from what I heard last night, and it was worthy of the diners who had been in the palaces of various princes and kings hundreds of years ago. Has His Royal Highness arrived?"
Before the words of returning home or not were finished, a naive and deliberately mature voice sounded outside the guest room: "Good morning, two great alchemists, Xiao Wang Liuxi has been waiting for a long time..."
Just after I finished speaking, I remembered the voice of the owner of the recruitment hall who came to the recruitment hall last night: "Two great alchemists, our Royal Highness the King of Huainan personally came to greet the two together with Gao Zu (he identified Xiao Ren The third is Wu Mian, who is the apprentice of Guiwugui) and moved to our recruitment hall, if it is convenient for the two great alchemists, please open the door, our highness the king of Huainan will give the two master salutes..."
A teacher's ceremony... Wu Mian never thought that Liu Xi, who had just succeeded the Huainan king's throne, would play such a big game. After all, he is also the king of a country, and he would even treat a half-alchemist (return or not) outside the gate wall. , can only be counted as half an alchemist) to perform the master ceremony. According to the rules at that time, after paying respects to the teacher, Liu Xi, the king of Huainan, had to consider himself a student when he saw Wu Mian and Guigui. It is the dream of many monks in the world to be a master to a prince.
If it was other monks, they would have rushed out of the gate at this time to salute the King of Huainan first. However, the two in the guest room were destined to miss the cultivators for the rest of their lives. Wu Mian turned over after hearing this, closed his eyes and continued to fall asleep. Gui Bugui replied slowly: "Please wait for a moment, Your Highness, I will wait for the two of you to clean up, and immediately come out to greet His Royal Highness the King of Huainan..."
Almost an hour later, the door of the guest room is opened. Gui Bugui and Wu Mian stood in front of the door drowsily, wondering what the two of them were packing at this hour. The two of them looked like they didn't wake up, Wu Mian was wearing a coat, and pulled up his shoes when he didn't return. After opening the door, I saw an eight or nine-year-old boy in Chinese clothes standing outside the door respectfully. After seeing the two or two, he paid homage and said, "Huainan King Liu Xi has seen the two gentlemen, if the two gentlemen never give up , the disciple is willing to serve the two gentlemen for life..."
Seeing such a child giving him a big gift, Wu Mian frowned and avoided his big gift. However, Gui Bugui stood there carelessly. After receiving the big gift from the King of Huainan, he said to the little King of Huainan who was being helped up, "How can this be received by His Royal Highness the King of Huainan? We have already agreed to go to the recruitment hall, how good is it? And take advantage of your highness."
While Gui Bugui was speaking, Wu Mian watched from the sidelines and saw that His Royal Highness the King of Huainan was about eight or nine years old. There was a faint shadow of his father, the old Huainan King Liu Chang, on his face. He looked like a young man and he saluted Gui Bugui again and said, "This disciple has always had the ambition to become an immortal since he was a child. A collection of books on cultivating the world, as well as the treasures of heaven and earth needed for alchemy. If the two gentlemen do not give up, please use the books and treasures of heaven and earth in the recruitment hall. Just ask the two gentlemen to cultivate and become immortals. You can bring your disciples to join the immortal class.”
After listening to Guibugui, he laughed and said, "You are very young, and your ambition is not small. This looks like the old man when I was a child. Back then, my old man..."
Before he finished speaking, a milky voice from the back said: "You old man, who doesn't know you? Who told me last time that he took your neighbor Xu Fu to see you on your eighth birthday. The neighbor girl is taking a bath? If you want to become an immortal, then why not? The fairy in the sky can give birth to a bunch of dolls for you.”
Hearing such a presumptuous voice, the little King Huainan in front of the door was startled. He is so old that no one dares to speak like that in front of him. Listening to the voice, it seems to be saying the right way. What is the origin of this child who looks about his own age, how dare he talk to this great alchemist like this?
More embarrassing than Liu Xi, the king of Huainan, is returning or not. Although Xiao Ren San calls him immortal, he is used to it. However, in front of His Royal Highness the King of Huainan, being so troubled by this little guy, it was a little difficult to come down to the stage if he didn't return. In the end, it was Wu Mian, who was not in the mood for fireworks, and gave him a fight: "Both of them are not bound by etiquette, and they are used to being crazy. It made His Royal Highness the King of Huainan laugh."
Compared to Xiao Ren San exposing his old bottom just now, Wu Mian opened his mouth to speak seriously, which made it even more unacceptable to return. After the old guy was stunned for a moment, he realized that what this little Huainan king just said was the right thing for Wu Mian. Here, I want to find the way to the ghost gate marked on Xu Fu's map, and then go to the recruiting hall to collect the genius treasure. After all, it is also the recruitment hall of a king's mansion. Even if the treasures collected in it are not as good as those of the sergeant, they should be no different.
When introducing Xiao Ren San to the King of Huainan, Wu Mian was somewhat in trouble. In the end, the old guy recognized Xiao Ren San as his uncle and brother from afar. At that time, it was not uncommon for young children to be older, and it was reasonable to talk nonsense between brothers. That's what covers up this section. At the moment, Wu Mian, Gui Bugui, and Xiao Rensan followed Xiao Liuxi, the king of Huainan, into his recruitment hall.
