In March, the spring rain was drizzling, and there was a hint of coolness in the air. The rain is not heavy, but in Qingcheng, a city that is always lingering with dampness, the continuous rain will always be a little annoying and make people feel a little cold.
Most of the people on the street are in a hurry, and only a few young people walk along the street with umbrellas, laughing and strolling around enjoying the rare leisurely holiday.
Qingshui Avenue is close to the ancient street, and people wearing ancient long-sleeved long gowns often walk by. Those who are interested will buy an oil-paper umbrella painted with cloud patterns and landscapes, and stroll lazily in the rain. Looking at the past, it is as if time and space are intertwined, and it is indescribably quiet and comfortable. It's completely different, and it's wonderfully mixed together without being abrupt.
From the depths of the alley, a young man in a plain white long shirt walked out, carrying a featureless or even cumbersome quaint long sword behind his back. The blue silk is over the knees, the flesh of the cheeks is slightly bulging, the childish face is hooked with a soft innocent smile, and the slightly flushed cheeks are fair and cute, which attracts many girls to look at him frequently, with a look of eagerness to poke The stance of the last poke.
The young man stood at the entrance of the alley and looked around. After seeing the pedestrians interspersed with ancient and modern on the street, he looked down at himself again, and then walked out with peace of mind. After looking around for a while, he walked in the direction of the ancient street.
He moved cautiously, always as if he was testing something, which attracted the attention of the girls who looked at him more frequently.
"Whose child is this? It looks like fifteen or sixteen, right? How come it's like he's never been out of the house, he's so silly and cute! Did he come to travel and get separated from his family?"
"It doesn't look like it. He went to the ancient street. He probably lived here and sneaked out to play?"
"Tsk... But don't tell me, this person who runs all over the street wearing Hanfu has a unique temperament in his clothes. You can see how good he looks when he walks, he really looks like a little boy in ancient times! Hey! You say, is he also a COS?"
"You don't have his temperament in COS, do you? And when you look at his hair, it doesn't look fake..."
The young man kept walking forward, but his back turned to the girls, but his face was full of confusion and confusion.
He almost didn't understand what the girls said just now...
There are many tourists on the ancient street, but this small shop called "Sanjie Shuwu" has always been cold, and only a few pedestrians who are tired from playing will stop here and come in to take a break and read a book. After all, there is no drink to sell, tea is not very popular with young people, and the atmosphere is much more restrained than other bookstores. Few young people are willing to sit here for a long time.
It will rain outside, there will be few tourists, and there will be no guests in the library.
There was no one in the business area of the outer bookstore, only a monitor was placed at the counter. Go around the bookshelf and go inside. There was a young man lying on the back of the small bar, leaning against the wall.
Just when he was about to fall asleep, there was a small shadow under the top of his head, and the young man looked up and met a soft and tooted boy's face.
"Excuse me, is this the Three Realms Affairs Office?" The young man smiled softly, blinking his eyes, showing a bit of caution.
The young man straightened up and looked at him for a while, frowning strangely: "Human? Who are you? How do you know about the Three Realms Affairs Office?"
Qingcheng is a small town full of comfort and softness. There are many high-rise buildings in the city, as well as ancient streets like ancient buildings that seem to be parked in the old days. Most of these places, which have gradually become tourist attractions, contain thousands of years of history or even longer.
Likewise, in these places, there are also many old objects preserved from old times, and... long-lived species.
Demons with long lives, ghosts who have mastered cultivation, and even some old objects that have been refined for a long time, changed out of long-sleeved long shirts and put on clothes that matched the times, mixed with ordinary humans and integrated into society. Under the coercion of Heaven, he abandoned the instinct that existed in his bones thousands of years ago, and carefully sought a place to survive. Only in the midnight dream, or in a special place, can you carefully recall it, which belonged to a long, long time ago, when they were allowed to do whatever they want.
There are a lot of ghosts, ghosts, and ghosts, and because of the shackles of heaven, it is more and more difficult to get along.
In order to manage it uniformly, several divine beasts guarding the Quartet joined forces with the country to create the Three Realms Affairs Office.
Unified and reasonable management of monsters and monsters, solve some problems that ordinary people can't solve as civil servants in special departments, and give certain benefits and rewards on a regular basis. No matter how bad it is, even if you don't take a job in a department, you can follow the arrangement to engage in other careers and survive in human society better.
The Three Realms Affairs Office is not under the control of the state department, but is directly led by several mythical beasts, and some disciples of the hidden world cultivating sect are stationed in it as public relations personnel for negotiating with the state. It can not only make the high-level human beings feel a little more at ease in terms of their identity as human beings, but also allow the sent sect disciples to gain a certain experience, which is considered to kill two birds with one stone.
On weekdays, the Three Realms Affairs Office will take care of the big and small matters as long as they are in the mood. When you are bored, you will also accept some non-human commissions, and complete them for the other party after getting paid.
All in all, the existence of the Three Realms Affairs Office is to allow these non-human creatures to survive better in this society, and to play a certain role in restraining them, and at the same time, by handling some special events for humans and even countries, to earn certain merits and rewards, In exchange for the merciful shelter of Tiandao.
Except for the headquarters, which has a certain connection with the country, all branches of the Three Realms Affairs Office are hidden in the market. And the Three Realms Affairs Office in Qingcheng is this humble Three Realms Bookstore.
All the monsters and ghosts in the country know that the Three Realms Affairs Office is neat in handling the business, but it is very easy to kill people when it is connected with private commissions. Unless it is really impossible, ordinary little demons and little ghosts would not dare to come to the door. As for humans, it is better than these little demons. After all, only money can be exchanged from human beings, and there are countless people who have money.
It's just that ordinary people with no special identity and origin can only inquire about someone in the Three Realms Affairs Office through some channels, and will not know the existence of the Office.
As far as Li Han, a thousand-year-old cat, has been in the Qingcheng branch for nearly three hundred years, he has seen a total of three private commissions. Unexpectedly, this fourth time, it was actually a human!
Seeing this obedient child who looked like a human cub in front of him, smiling sweetly at him, Li Han's old heart couldn't help beating.
After being masturbated by the boss as a pet for three hundred years, this is the first time Li Han has the urge to masturbate someone else!
"Cough cough... Well, what's the matter with you?" Anyway, those who knew the Three Realms Affairs Office would definitely not be ordinary people. Maybe it was some kind of high-level human child who knew the inside story of the affairs office. He asked for it to come and entrust it. I am afraid it is not something that ordinary people can solve.
As a result, the next moment, Li Han saw that the child's eyes had changed, and his well-behaved and blank eyes showed a bit of depth that did not match his appearance: "I want to know... Who am I?"
Li Han paused for a while, looking at the kid in front of him who looked like the same thing in ancient costume, helplessly and funny: "Child, you should go to the police station, not the Three Realms Affairs Office. We won't take over. Missing persons investigation."
The young man didn't seem to expect that he would refuse so simply. He stood there bewildered, and was silent for a while before he said, "I... know a little magic. I can catch ghosts, monsters, exorcism, seals, and enchantments." After he finished speaking, he After biting her lower lip and thinking hard, she blushed and said, "I know a lot and can help you with a lot of things!"
The pitiful appearance of the other party made Li Han a little soft-hearted, but the rules could not be broken, so Li Han could only look at him with a funny and helpless look: "You have so much ability, you can find a sect of metaphysics or a sect of immortality, there is no need to come here. Three Realms Affairs Office. We have strict rules for accepting people here, and I can't be the master. Rather than wasting time here, I might as well find other ways." After speaking, he looked at the young man with a half-smile, and couldn't help but add: " You said you could catch demons? Then guess who I am?"
The young man looked at him blankly, and said seriously, "The thousand-year-old nine-tailed tabby cat."
When Li Han was struck by lightning, he even wanted to kneel down and call his ancestors.
Li Han wouldn't be shocked if he just said he was a demon. After all, he said that he would catch demons, and he could see that although his identity was somewhat capable, it did not make him unbelievable. But unfortunately, the other party not only saw that he was a demon, but also accurately stated his body and even the way.
Cat demons were not uncommon in the prosperous era. As an animal with superior intelligence, the possibility of becoming a demon is far greater than that of other races. Coupled with their strong reproductive ability, there is a 50% chance that the cubs born by the two cat demons will be congenital demons. It's a pity that the way of heaven does not allow these special existences, and it is difficult for all races to survive, no matter how strong or weak. As a race with a high reproductive capacity and a high rate of becoming a demon, Tiandao did not forget to take care of it.
But Li Han is different! Thousands of years ago, he was fortunate enough to be enlightened by a fairy. He cultivated from an ordinary piebald cat to a master, and after a thousand years, he cultivated nine tails. It's just that the basic qualifications are too poor. With nine tails, he is still a scumbag, and he can only do the clerical work of welcoming guests.
but! That is also unique! It is one of the few who is recognized by Heaven! Not to mention an ordinary person, even those high-strength immortal cultivators in the prosperous era, no one can see through his body and strength!
But now... I was stunned by a child who looked weak and chirpy.
Li Han felt aggrieved and even wanted to cry.
After the shock was over, he came back to his senses with hindsight.
Because of being enlightened by the immortal, and because he did not have any threat, Tiandao showed some signs of indulging Li Han. After thousands of years of cultivation, he has become nine tails. After Tiandao closed the gate of becoming an immortal, he cultivated to a realm that is only one step away from a fairy. Even if Li Han is a war five scum, it does not mean that a little weak chicken can see through his body cultivation. .
In the era of prosperous law, what immortal cultivators with lifespans comparable to those of monsters could not do it. How did a little boy who looked ordinary and could go to junior high school without any sense of disobedience in his school uniform did? of
Could it be that which auspicious beast and mythical beast cub was born, dizzy and bumped into it
Li Han carefully looked at the young man and the old man for a long time, then shook his head silently.
Not like. No matter how you look at it, he is just an ordinary human being, with nothing special about him.
Even the man in the office who has been dealing with the underworld all the year round is a real human being, and he still has an obvious aura of merit and virtue. The child in front of him was not at all unusual, and even his breath was the same as that of ordinary people on the street. Said that he would hunt ghosts and remove demons, but he didn't even have any spiritual power fluctuations.
Li Han suspected that this was the arrogant child of a big boss, and released it to make trouble. After all, those bosses knew exactly what his original form and cultivation base were, and it was very possible to let the bear children come out and make a fuss when they had nothing to do.
Li Han was pondering in his mind which big boss recently had a cub, and calmly said to the boy: "Little boy, the Three Realms Affairs Office is not a place to play. It doesn't matter who tells you my identity or who tells you about it. From the Three Realms Affairs Office, don’t mention this place outside casually in the future, and don’t come here to play when you have nothing to do, you know?”
Seeing that he didn't seem to believe at all, the young man was so worried that his brows and eyes drooped down, and he stood there in a daze, not knowing what to do.
When Li Han played another game and raised his head, he found the child standing motionless.
"Hey, I said, don't go too far. No matter who it is, go to your parents quickly, and the leader will come back, but I'm not as easy to talk as I am."
The young man looked at him with a flat mouth, and said after a while, "I have nowhere to go..."
Li Han's forehead twitched: "Running away from home? Lost? Or did you come from the mountains and don't know how to get back?"
"I came from the mountains, but it's not my home, I just slept there. After I woke up, the outside changed. I didn't know anyone, and I didn't know where to go." The young grievance Baba explained.
"Okay, let's pretend what you said is true." Li Han continued with patience: "Then how did you know about the Three Realms Affairs Office? How did you find this place? There are also mountains closest to here. Hundreds of kilometers, you can't fly here, right?"
The young man pouted: "I came here. That mountain... seems to be called Qingheng Mountain now. I was awakened by a voice, and he told me to come to a place called the Three Realms Affairs Office. After I woke up, I found some The little demon and the little ghost asked for directions, and finally found this place."
