Sixteen: take office

If the three great wonders recognized by Xuandu people are the Great Green Lotus and the Peach Blossom in the Spring Rain. Then the three great scenes in the hearts of the people of Yujing, besides the two flying halls and Qianyuan Academy, are the Cloud Bridge Flying Tower.

The Palace of Day Flying and Night Flying has been completed for more than 20 years, and it has traveled no more than one time. Although Qianyuan Academy is in the city, it has a strange gate formation nearby, so ordinary people cannot see its appearance. Only the cloud bridge and flying towers are everywhere, and can be seen everywhere.

The clouds and bridges intersected among the flying buildings, and the corridors are connected. Even if the galloping horses drive in the car, they are still unobstructed. People walk in it like walking on flat ground. Whenever they go to the side of the bridge, look down, and suddenly they are facing the abyss. But they see the lights floating like fire among the barriers of the heavy buildings, and people, cars and cars in the street are like ants, as if the heaven and earth in the pot.

Li Chan walked through Renshanfang, went to the edge of Fanlou, and walked down the Feist Tower along the wooden staircase. The building was high, and as soon as the ground, the sky was covered by the high building. Even during the day, gauze lanterns were lit in front of the door. In the darkness, there were all kinds of cloth quilts and clothes hanging by the people. From bottom to top, there were dazzling arrays, like prayer flags, which made the dome in the sky look like a blue algae well.

Li Chan looked for someone to ask for directions, and passed through the narrow alleyways and the smell of alcohol and mutton.

He walked around for a while and passed by the Weaver and Dyeing Alley. The west wind brought a sound of pounding clothes. After passing the Weaver and Dyeing Bureau, he went south and finally found an alley called "Hebi". The alleys are connected to the houses. He walked into the alley and found an inconspicuous storefront next to a large soapberry tree.

Under the outer eaves covered by black tiles, the sun panels were dark in color and painted with banana leaves. Among the banana leaves, there was a three-paned dragon pattern hidden.

"Hebi Lane, soapcorn tree, three coiled dragon patterns..."

Li Chan looked up at the sun board. Shenzhasi Yujin had an official residence in the imperial city. In front of him, the place was the Sishou hidden in the city.

After confirming that, Li Chan was about to walk over, but the wooden door was pushed open quietly, and a man wearing a black hairpin came out.

The frost had passed, but the man was wearing a crimson silk dress that was not cold. It was obvious that he had achieved his internal skills so that he could not be afraid of the cold and heat. Seeing that the man looked familiar, Li Chan thought about it for a moment and thought about it. Although the man did not wear a knife, he did not wear the green silk suit. Looking at his face, he was the Shenzhasi School Commander whom he had seen when he was conquering the crows for a thousand years.

As soon as Chen Haochu left the house, he saw a young man a few steps away. He had been away from Qingling County for half a month, but he still remembered what was happening in the Jiang family's charity village, so he immediately recognized Li Chan. He hurriedly fled to Jiang family's charity village that day. Chen Haochu thought that the young man was in danger, but unexpectedly he would see him again here. He said in surprise: "It's you?"

Li Chan stood under the yellow leaves and smiled and said, "I'm meeting again."

Chen Haochu was shocked and suspicious, but the door outside the secret office was not the place to talk. He closed the door quietly, "Is it my first time coming to Yujing City?"

Li Chan nodded, "That's right."

Chen Haochu smiled and said, "Yujing City is big and the terrain is complicated. If you walk alone, if you don't have a guide or if you are not careful, you might break into a place you shouldn't go."

Li Chan glanced at the sun block at the door again, "This is the territory of Shenzhasi's right ban."

Chen Haochu was stunned and looked at the young man in front of him again.

A chance meeting outside the Jiang family's charity village, the case of the Ghost Lord Changping and the news of the Youyi Envoy from the Ghost in the Ghost Valley were connected in his heart. He was surprised: "It's just the foot..."

The title of "Entertainment of the Jingjin Youyi" burst into his throat, but was swallowed by Chen Haochu, revealing a cautious look.

It was not until Li Chan took out the wooden sign given by Yuan Chongshan that Chen Haochu put down his guard. He glanced at him and saw only a few figures in the garment shop at the entrance of the alley. No one paid attention to it, so he turned around and opened the wooden door, "Let me do it."

When Li Chan walked into the wooden door, Chen Haochu closed the door. There was a corridor behind the door, and a row of lanterns hung in the beams, vaguely illuminating the empty windows on the stone walls on both sides. Chen Haochu was walking in front to guide the way, and Li Chan followed behind them, and saw someone flashing through the empty windows. Behind the corridor was an entrance covered by a curtain, with the word "1" written on the curtain.

After passing this curtain, there is another narrow hall, with three doors in the hall, with the words "si", "qi" and "lu" written on it.

Chen Haochu walked towards the "Si" gate. Li Chan looked around curiously and asked, "Is there a Qimen formation set up here?"

"Natural." Chen Haochu nodded, "The formations here often change. These numbers sometimes correspond to the numbers of the eight gates, and sometimes correspond to the nine stars and eight gods, which can prevent outsiders from sneaking in."

Li Chan followed Chen Haochu and passed the "Si" gate, marveling, "I'm really guarding the situation."

Chen Haochu said: "The water in Yujing City is not as deep as it is. Even if you are not careful, you will be heard."

While speaking, Chen Haochu led Li Chan through the halls. The arrangement of each hall is almost the same, and if you don’t pay attention, you will think you have returned to your original place. It was not until you passed the eleventh curtain that you finally entered a dark corridor. Li Chan was quite surprised that there was such a cave behind an inconspicuous facade in Hebi Lane.

When I heard the voices and footsteps of the people at the end of the corridor, I didn’t see them, it seemed that many people were talking behind the door. As soon as I entered, I saw a circular hall. Although there were twelve people in the hall, they all held their breath and did not talk. They sat at the table and listened carefully to the twelve bamboo tubes corresponding to the twelve bamboo tubes. The voices of those people came from the bamboo tubes.

These twelve tables are surrounded by a circle along the wall of the hall. In the middle of the hall is a stone beast. The stone beast looks like a thin dog and has five eyes and six ears.

Chen Haochu led Li Chan through the circular hall without disturbing the "listening to the law".

After passing the circular hall, he entered a narrow courtyard. At this time, Li Chan could see the sky from the courtyard of the narrow courtyard.

After entering this narrow courtyard, the voices in the circular hall disappeared immediately. Chen Hao stopped and explained: "The spiritual response method blessed by the five-eared and six-eyed beast can eavesdrop on the movements and stills of several surrounding buildings."

When Li Chan thought of the stone beast, he thought to himself: "No wonder Yuan Shajun's nickname is Yuan Liuer."

"This nickname is not exciting." Chen Haochu smiled, "There are towns in this yard, so when I get here, I am not afraid of the partition walls. Although I am the lieutenant of the left monarch, I mainly serve as a judge on the right monarch. When I was in Qingling County, I had a relationship with my subordinates, and it turned out that my subordinates were the envoy of the Youyi in the capital." He looked at Li Chan sideways, "I don't know the monster in the charity village..."

Li Chan nodded, "I have been surrendered."

After Chen Haochu escaped from the charity village, he always thought that the black turtle and elephant talisman saved his life. At this time, he thought about it again, but things were not that simple. He tentatively said: "I have to thank you for your help, otherwise, my life would be written there."

Li Chan said without caring: "It's just a little effort."

Chen Haochuying confirmed his guess, and was grateful and admired, ashamed, and smiled bitterly: "Thank you for saving your life. I was so arrogant that I let you retreat..."

Li Chan smiled and said, "I blame me for hiding my identity from you."

Chen Haochu said: "I have not yet taken office, so I am naturally not convenient to reveal my identity at will. However, I have not yet taken office, and the title of the Youyi Envoy in the Capital has begun to show its glory."

Li Chan touched the waist card in his arms, "Although Yuan Shajun asked me to be the You Yi envoy, I still don't know what this You Yi envoy is doing."

"It seems that my husband is not very familiar with the affairs of the temple." Chen Haochu said, "The envoy of Youyi from the Jingji is an envoy sent by the saint. If the saint has not explained anything, my husband does not need to do anything specifically."

Li Chan thoughtfully: "It's indeed a free job."

Chen Haochu said: "But before the saint went west to the country, he sent a secret decree, which is now in this department. In addition to this Yi envoy from the capital, he must have been granted an official position. The specific details should be in that secret decree. Let me follow me."

As he said that, Chen Haochu led Li Chan to the room on the west side of the narrow courtyard.

Every time I go to the transition chapter, I write very slowly. I can’t make up for the chapter I owe these two days. When it’s smooth, I will make up for it.
Chapter completed!
