Tai Sui

Chapter 48: Sprite Township (final)

Views:

Wei Cheng didn't let go of his breath, when someone knocked on the door suddenly, she almost collapsed on the spot, her mind and face went blank for a moment.

The empty eyes made Lao Jiu's cold sweat flow faster: These are the eyes of ghosts and gods!

Lao Jiu felt that the girl's emotionless eyes shot out the cold gaze of a god. For a moment, he regretted his own cleverness, bowed his head respectfully, got up and opened the door.

The person who came was the person from Zhaoxue who brought Wei Chengxiang to the land of chaos.

Zhaoxue asked with a smile on his face, "Ninth brother, I wonder if the saintess of your religion can rest well. Are you used to living here?"

Lao Jiu couldn't let Tai Sui think that his recklessness was useless, so he tried his best to gather his mind and became an old fritter in the South Mine again: "Very good, thank you Brother Zhaoxue."

"If there is any injustice, the cicada will sing, and the Zhaoxue people will clear their grievances. We are all fellow travelers, so there is no need to thank you." After a simple greeting, the Zhaoxue people went straight to the point and said, "That's it, my lord heard that the saint was coming, so he specially set up a door in Wangnan Tower. Banquet, I want to clean up the saintess, but I don't know how convenient it is for the saints?"

Wei Cheng suddenly came back to his senses—the master of the Zhaoxue people... isn't that one of the masterminds behind turning the southern suburbs into scorched earth

Lao Jiu didn't dare to make up his own mind, turned around and asked Wei Chengxiang for instructions with his eyes.

Wei Chengxiang clenched her hands hidden under the table. This time, she didn't ask for the opinion of Senior Zhuansheng Muli, but only said to Xi Ping: Uncle, I have to see this person.

"Cover your face, the people in Tianji Pavilion have seen you, so as not to bump into you." Xi Ping stared at Lu Chengyi, and said to Wei Chengxiang, "Go, I'll take care of you."

The unlucky Lu Chengyi unexpectedly missed his old background as soon as he met him. He only felt that his inspiration was touched without warning, and he suddenly had the feeling of being locked by a master.

The strong sense of crisis came from behind, not the two people from Tianji Pavilion in front of him.

Xi Ping saw his back stiffen, and his spiritual sense quickly explored a small area - yes, Xi Ping could feel the other party's spiritual sense, even though Lu Chengyi's divine sense did not touch anyone.

No wonder Liang Chen has only a dead bone left, and he has to rely on the reincarnation wood to pretend to be a god.

It turns out that being a "god" is like this.

In Xi Ping's eyes, Lu Chengyi's every move was magnified countless times. When Xi Ping raises his head, he can see the other person's face, but when he lowers his eyes, he can "see" any side of Lu Chengyi between his brows: subtle movements, where his eyes are placed, and the divine consciousness... He can even vaguely "see" the meridians all over his body. The direction of the surge of spiritual energy.

Xi Ping was both novel and shocked. At the same time, a creepy thought arose in his heart: Does this "Impermanence One"... know that he is under Liang Chen's surveillance

Must not know.

As long as he is still a person, it is impossible to stand this kind of monitoring, even if the two old men have an affair.

Wuchang-I think everything is in the palm of my hand at this time, but I don't know that I am completely under the control of others.

So... will there be real ghosts and gods in this world? Who is he watching at this moment

Thinking deeply about this matter, it can make people go crazy. Fortunately, Xi Ping was born with a big heart, so he quickly put it aside - anyway, he doesn't worship gods or believe in ghosts.

He tried to restrain his mind and calm down, suppressing his excitement of catching the impermanence. Sure enough, Lu Chengyi soon couldn't feel him, and relaxed in doubt.

Later, Xi Ping saw this person withdrew his consciousness, and looked at a person vaguely.

Well

Under normal circumstances, shouldn't you observe Lin Zhaoli's face at this time? After all, the foundation-building cultivator has a strong inspiration. If it wasn't his illusion just now, there are unknown masters nearby, and the foundation-building should be the first to perceive it.

But... Why did "Impermanence One" glance at Princess Anyang

This glance was probably unintentional. After all, the eldest princess is the top leader of the South Mine, and she looks like a magnet for sight. It is normal for subordinates to glance at her when they are upset.

But for some reason, Xi Ping suddenly felt that something was wrong.

He opened his mouth and asked, "When did Brother Lu start escorting the mine?"

Lu Chengyi suppressed his uneasiness and replied, "This is a long story, almost two hundred years old."

"Wow," Xi Ping sighed, and turned to Pang Jian "heartlessly", "Senior Brother, isn't that about the same as our Governor Liang's qualifications?"

Lu Chengyi's heart skipped a beat, and when he raised his head, facing Pang Jian's sharp eyes, he couldn't help but glance at Princess Anyang again.

But dogs can learn to abacus if they live to be two hundred years old, and humans will naturally become ghosts.

Lu Chengyi was caught off guard by Xi Ping's beating, but it was only a meal, and then he smiled impeccably: "I dare not, Brother Liang is the first batch of mine managers in the South Mine, and he sacrificed for his family and country in the early years. I have poor qualifications. His morality is also low, how can he be compared with him—Brother Liang has been transferred back to Jinping for a few years, how are you doing recently?"

Pang Jian smiled meaningfully: "Thank you for your concern. I just went to see him a few days ago, and it was very good."

The three of them exchanged pleasantries, but the others didn't know that Liang Chen had been taken away by Jie Zhong. Zhao Zhenwei said enthusiastically: "As soon as I heard His Highness's call, I knew it was the Lord of Tianji Pavilion who had arrived. I had already reserved a table and banquet in Sibei Tower for the two of you to welcome the dust. The mine is here, and I can't escape, Pang Daren, Xi Shizi , after all, our half-immortals didn’t have bigu, so we still regard food as our heaven?”

Princess Anyang half-jokingly said: "It seems that I am not thoughtful."

Zhao Zhenwei has long sleeves and is good at dancing, and he accepted the princess's joke without any stumbling, and started talking in a few words. Pang Jian had already released the Karma Beast, so he had no choice but to take off the invisible mirror and let Zhao Zhenwei lead him to the "Sibei Tower".

"In this chaotic place, the birds don't come, only our Dawan resident is full of traffic," Zhao Zhenwei introduced as he walked, "It is especially famous for the second floor of 'Looking South and Thinking North', and all the work is picked from ancient books. Nanhe’s special dishes—Wangnanlou is more authentic, and Sibeilou is slightly improved according to the taste of our Wan people. Many people from other countries have tried their best to get a customs clearance document to our mine, just want to try this The old taste of the southern country... Hey, brothers, we are here."

I saw two restaurants not far from the pier in the lively resident town, one facing south and one facing north, separated by a street.

The eaves and eaves on the second floor face each other, and the terrace faces each other. The aroma of wine mixed together is the legendary Nanhe flower wine.

At this time, Xi Ping was inspired, and a carriage happened to meet them at the intersection.

Wei Chengxiang held the spirit stone in his mouth, and was meditating and exhaling, when he suddenly heard the senior in the reincarnation tree say: Now take a look outside the carriage, be careful not to show your face. Look at a middle-aged man in a gray robe.

Wei Cheng was startled, opened his eyes quickly, and opened a corner of the car curtain as he said.

The first person who caught her eyes was a young man in brocade clothes. Although he only showed his side face, his facial features almost dazzled his eyes.

Wei Chengxiang blinked involuntarily, and thought to himself, "Where did this noble man come from, so good-looking?"

However, this thought only flashed in a flash. She embraced blood feud and frightened every step of the way. The willow wind that can easily wrinkle a girl's heart is like a passing cloud. young people.

Lu Chengyi, who was at the end of the group, felt a warmth in his arms. He looked back calmly, and met the eyes of a girl.

Wei Cheng smiled at him, and Lu Chengyi nodded imperceptibly, confirming their identities.

Cars pass by people.

"Uncle," Wei Chengxiang asked Xi Ping excitedly in his heart, "are you the one in the gray clothes?"

"Fart," Xi Ping felt greatly insulted, "I want you to see 'Wu Chang Yi'! Remember this face for me, this is his real face."

Wei Chengxiang: "..."

I didn't say it earlier, I laughed for nothing.

Lao Jiu saw the "Holy Maiden" hanging the car curtain, and the smile on a small face quickly dissipated, and then turned into a cold look. Driving the curtain, I didn't even realize that a senior was nearby... Tai Sui really is on her body!"

He became more respectful, and when he arrived at the gate of Wangnan Building, he jumped out of the car first, and took steps with his hands to serve the saint.

Wei Cheng stepped on him unceremoniously to get out of the car, and heard the Zhaoxue man who greeted them at the door whisper: "Wangnanlou is our brother's property, it's safe, the private room has been prepared early, please."

The carriage blocked Wei Chengxiang's slender back, and at the Sibei Building across the street, the big shopkeeper came out to welcome the distinguished guests in person.

Zhao Zhenwei introduced: "The Sibei building is anonymously funded by our mine office. We want to use our own site, so we don't accept foreign guests, and there are no idlers."

Across the street, Immortals face south, and Xie Chong faces north.

People come and go on the street.

The merchants brought the goods, sold them on the spot, and then took away the exotic goods from southern Xinjiang, so there were stalls everywhere. Not far from the Wangnansi North Tower, there was a juggling stage where two rioters were biting each other hard in the iron cage on that stage. However, the locals didn't find it new, and there were very few people who stopped by. The guy who collected the reward money yawned boredly.

The miner's children got a kite from nowhere, and ran wildly while holding the string, but the kite still fell down and hit a coolie in Qinghe mud. The coolie was carrying a heavy load, and before he could dodge, his dirty hat was thrown off by the kite, revealing a deformed face—he was also a rioter. Thirty percent of the chaotic people are born like crazy dogs without sanity. Although the rest are inhuman, they are still more or less human. They can voluntarily pull out their teeth and nails, and go to various countries to work as coolies...or shepherd animals.

The urchins in the mine were used to seeing the rioters, so they were not afraid. They snatched back the kite and bumped into the coolie and staggered. The coolie curled up silently, waited for the urchin to run away, then carefully picked up the hat and put it on, his eyes fell on the iron cage where the victory was decided. The coolie and the panting victor looked at each other for a moment, then numbly picked up the things and continued to move forward.

Cheerful voices of urchins echoed down the street: "Untouchable! Untouchable!"

"Hey, these villainous children without a tutor." The waiter in the Wangnan Building said to Wei Chengxiang courteously, "Miss, pay attention to the steps under your feet."

Wei Chengxiang ignored it, and walked up without looking sideways. Someone opened the door of the private room for her, and a surge of spiritual energy came out. A touch of heat.

A rather rich man stood up to greet him, and said with a smile: "I'm not flat, I've been friends with you for a long time!"

People in Zhaoxue bowed their heads respectfully and saluted, saying "Master".

"This is 'Thousand Ribai'," said the rich man, "Mr. Jiu, Miss Sixty, please take a seat."

Lao Jiu exchanged greetings on behalf of the saint: "Boss Bai drank Jinping City drunk with a cup of snow wine, and added a festive firework to this New Year's festival. It's so generous and bold!"

"It's not worth mentioning," Qian Ribai smiled "haha" and waved his hands again and again, "It's not worth mentioning—it's hard work, sixty girls, who escorted my disciples all the way back to the south...Since ancient times, heroes have been born as teenagers, your family is too old ?”

Wei Chengxiang's eyes widened, and in a daze, she saw the burnt female corpse's mouth that couldn't be closed through the noble man in front of her.

The girl's facial features were like rusted wheels, and under the veil, she slowly rolled out a... a slightly ghostly smile: "Thank you, Tai Sui let me take care of Boss Bai."

I'll send you on your way.

In the Sibei Building, Xi Ping became Zhao Zhenwei's younger brother in a few words, and shared 800 "Anecdotes about Fairy Luo not being a human being".

After the two shared their headaches about Chen Qianxiu Temple's pains in cleaning up, Xi Ping casually framed King Zhuang: "I said I'm not that material, they're all my cousins, and they want me to be stuffed into Qianxiu Temple."

Zhao Zhenwei naturally followed him, shaking his head and sighing: "The son must be better than me, I am not that kind of material. It's just that my father really racked his brains in order to let the envoy of the general election take a look at me. He searched for famous plants and It's searching all over the Qingtian mine... I slept on the Lingshi bed for a whole year, and I had nightmares every day, lest the angels would look down on me and fail my parents' expectations."

Hearing this, Xi Ping poured a glass of wine, lowered the rim of the glass by three points, and clinked the glass affectionately with Zhao Zhenwei: "Oh, senior brother, we really share the same disease, and we are destined to be together!"

I owe the life of a person surnamed Chen, do you think it's a coincidence

Dishes full of Nanhe characteristics flowed to the table. Xi Ping sipped the flower wine, while listening to Princess Anyang complaining about the suffering and evil in Nankui for a long time;

Zhao Zhenwei stood up and toasted, saying that the first escort ship in the new year was also the first time he led the fleet northward after being transferred to the South Mine. He was terrified, and it was all thanks to Brother Lin and Shizi Xi. This bastard Xi Ping is a showman, so he followed the trend and respected Lin Zhaoli, saying that he was just making up the numbers.

Princess Anyang also sighed: "Brother Lin is leaving, I will have no one to rely on in the future... I also respect Senior Brother Lin."

Seeing the complaint, Lu Cheng hurriedly got up to accompany him: "The mine is really inseparable from senior brother."

Lin Zhaoli was held high by a group of people, including a peerless beauty like Princess Anyang, who was in a mess, and said very seriously, "Don't worry, Your Highness, I'll go through the formalities at the inner gate, and I'll meet you after I'm done." Ask the master to go down the mountain, how can I help you take care of the mine before leaving."

Then he pointed out the country.

Xi Ping lowered his eyes, and on the other side, the restless old nine said to Qian Ribai: "This time the escort ship is more guarded than usual, and there is also a powerful foundation builder escorting it."

The smile on Qian Ribai's face faded a bit: "Mr. Jiu, what you mean is that we don't want to deal with this batch of goods, but think about it in the long run?"

"No," Lao Jiu said seriously, "A senior asked me to ask Boss Bai, if I dare to seek wealth in danger."

"How to say?"

"Xuanyin from the South Coal Mine fights against each other, and that Lin Zhuji has no dust in his eyes, and he doesn't know if he offends people," Lao Jiu said word by word, "someone wants to kill him on the way."

Qian Ri's eyes twitched.

"If Boss Bai has the guts, we should work together inside and out, take advantage of the muddy water, and touch this big fish." Lao Jiu glanced south, as if he could see through the wall, and connected with "Wuchangyi" on the opposite side. Shi is divided according to the ratio Tai Sui discussed with you before, as evidenced by the spiritual deed. If we cooperate well, we may wish to become sworn brothers with Jinlan in the future."

Xi Ping seemed to be tired of the sweet flower brew, and lowered his head to take a sip of tea. From the corner of his eyes, he caught sight of Lin Zhaoli, who was talking eloquently. He felt that Senior Brother Lin had a very good nose, and said in his heart, "There are two restaurants within a hundred meters away. Someone who slaps you wants to kill you, brother, don't you even sneeze?"

The offending person doesn't know it—that is to say, Lin Zhaoli is investigating the mine as a ghost family thief, but this "house thief" is obviously someone he didn't expect.

Someone wanted to kill him on the way - he was named by someone to escort the spirit stone...

At this time, the causal beast sent by Pang Jian to search the mines came back, and more than a dozen clones made up one, and climbed up along the pattern on Pang Jian's scabbard.

Pang Dutong and the Holy Beast exchanged something, and Karma Beast shook his head angrily, and then disappeared.

Xi Ping was not surprised. He had even thought about how to get rid of Lin Zhaoli, and the evidence of the crime seemed to have been cleared up.

He lowered his eyes, and "saw" Lu Chengyi looking vaguely at Zhou Qing from between his brows. This time, Zhou Qing's eyes just met Lu Chengyi's.

Princess Anyang lowered her long eyelashes slightly, and nodded with her eyes.

Those eyes are extremely cold, how can there be half a point of "Liu Shen Wu Zhu"

Xi Ping came to a sudden: that's how it is.

After his head dazed by beauty came to his senses, he always felt that there was something wrong with Princess Anyang. Now I finally know what it is—there is a contradiction in Zhou Qing's words.

The first batch of Liang Chen and his colleagues who were stationed in the mine were all with damaged meridians, and they were placed in the South Coal Mine after they couldn't enter the Tianji Pavilion. Low Tianji Pavilion is first class.

Such a group of mine managers, even if they collectively lose their minds and eat the bear's heart and leopard's guts to jointly exclude the eldest princess, how can Zhou Qing endure them for twenty years

This temperament is too weak and deceitful, and it doesn't match the "unruly princess who has to get what she likes" as she herself said.

She couldn't wait to agree to Pang Jian's mine search, not because she had been aggrieved for a long time, but because she was ready and confident.

Then Lu Chengyi just looked at the eldest princess' eyes and there was an explanation: for the first time he noticed that he was locked by an unknown expert, suspected that Tianji Pavilion had brought other helpers, and asked the eldest princess how many people came with his eyes.

The second time he heard them mention Liang Chen unexpectedly, he looked at the face of the eldest princess again, because he was worried about the intention of Tianji Pavilion and the eldest princess to expose his lies.

Xi Ping took a bite of the meat of an unknown animal, and felt that there were not many dishes on the table that were not sweet, and it was so greasy that it turned off the appetite. She didn't bother to move her mouth anymore, and took a piece of lotus cake to Princess Anyang, and said obediently: "My mother likes to eat this, but she is afraid of eating too much and not wearing enough clothes, so she doesn't dare to use it too much. Aunt Qing works hard for the mine every day. eat more."

Zhou Qing gladly took it, and took advantage of the situation to greet the Yongning Hou Mansion.

Xi Ping used his usual ability to coax his mother, and coaxed the eldest princess into a smile.

Aunt Qing, why don't you set up this relationship and just be seductive.
