Opening a Government Office

Chapter 126 Opening the Mansion

There was a small woodshed in the backyard of the house next door. Li Wuxiang got in through the window of the woodshed and pressed himself against the roof, only sticking out his eyes to look.

Probably less than a quarter of an hour later, there was a burst of chaotic footsteps on the street, and then a group of about ten soldiers and four monks climbed over the wall and saw the four people who were already standing in the courtyard. The monks of the True Form Cult put a talisman on each of their faces, and then the soldiers picked up the four of them and left the yard.

While they were doing this, Li Wuxiang heard the voice of his own household.

This home also has an entrance courtyard, and the main house is divided into east and west rooms by the back door in the middle. The sound of the soldiers and monks jumping into the next door was so loud that the windows of the east and west rooms were pushed open a crack.

The woodshed he was in was relatively close to the east one, and he saw half of the face sticking out - it was a young woman, very beautiful, with a slightly panicked look on her face, which she rarely encountered now. What's happening.

After the town soldiers and monks took the people away, the woman let out a breath and whispered, "Mr. sir, what's going on next door?"

The person in the room to the west should be her husband-in-law, but because the windows of the coffin city were opposite, Li Wuxiang couldn't see the man's face. He only heard him say: "Madam, don't panic, it's the town soldiers who are hunting for those who do evil." People. Yesterday, I heard that some savages entered the city."

The woman on the east side was stunned for a moment, then smiled at the other side: "So that's it. Sir, thank you for answering my question."

The man to the west smiled slightly when he heard the voice across the window: "Madam, you don't have to be polite, it's just what you should be doing."

The conversation between these two people made a word pop up in Li Wuxiang's head - respect each other as guests. It's just that this is too "respectful" and makes people feel evil.

The Shijie Collection says that men and women in Coffin City cannot have sex casually after they get married, and must obtain permission from the Anmin Prefecture. After entering the coffin city, Li Wuxiang found that the couple also lived together, and thought how could he manage such a thing?

By now he almost understood - in the world he came from, in summer, the streets in bustling commercial areas were full of white thighs, but if we push it forward a few hundred years, there would still be women because of When a stranger touched her feet, she felt like she had lost her virginity and even wanted to commit suicide.

According to this logic, the customs of the True Form Sect for more than 3,000 years should have subconsciously made the people in the diocese see things like "coming from one's own temperament" as treasonous and extremely shameful, right?

Li Wuxiang listened to the two of them saying a few more polite words, and an idea came to his mind.

If he couldn't be caught, Coffin City's restrictions would probably not be lifted. He needed information at this time. It is difficult for him to show up himself, so it would be best for someone in the city to do so.

So he took a closer look at the beautiful woman in the east room. Look at her expression when talking to her husband-in-law, her expression is actually very smart, her original temperament should be very lively, she belongs to the kind of person whose nature is suppressed by the evil feudal ethics.

Such a woman is actually very easy to be impressed - especially when she seems to have some innate advantages. if……

But at this time, the two of them talked about going to Anmin Mansion to pick up clothes tomorrow. It seemed that there would be such benefits every season. So the man in the west room opened the window further, revealing half of his face.

Li Wuxiang suddenly gave up his previous thoughts - it seemed that his advantage in this coffin city had been greatly weakened. These people have been chosen from generation to generation. At least in terms of appearance, they are indeed ridiculously good. If they are eight or nine times as good as myself, then the risk of this matter will be extremely high.

Then another thought came into his mind.

The most dangerous places are often the safest places. If you continue to stay here or wander around other places in the city, it will be a matter of time before you are caught. Master Wu Shan is in the realm of god refining, which is equivalent to the golden elixir of the thirty-six sects, but it is far from the "quick success" realm mentioned in the world's explanations. I don't know what kind of magical powers he still has.

But there is one key figure that I should be able to deal with - Lou He.

Even if he has not abolished his cultivation, he is still just a swordsman in the Qi refining period. He knew his method, but he probably didn't fully understand the magical effect of Ranshan's illusion. When he was on Ran Mountain, Li Wuxiang wanted to sneak attack Xu Daosheng, but at that time he had just used the True Immortal Body Dao Pian to build the foundation, and his skin could not withstand the cuts of the distorted spaces in the illusion, but his cultivation is not what it used to be. Than, this method can still be tried.

Lou He wants his body and his golden body. Since he wants something, he can get around it... If he is really a mastermind of the Zhenxiang Sect and goes to the Sword Sect, now that he is about to return after his great achievements, this is the time when he most cherishes his life. , this kind of person is very likely to get himself out of danger.

The first step now is to sneak back into Lou He's yard again - I hope he is still there!

But this matter still had to wait until dark, so Li Wuxiang returned to the illusion and began to explore the rules of movement in this space bit by bit.

The aura in the coffin city was difficult to call upon, and the aura in the illusion was quite violent and chaotic, so he tried to be careful and try not to injure his skin too much. When it got dark again, he roughly figured out how to move within ten steps of the foothold as the center.

So Li Wuxiang escaped from the illusion and planned to wait until it got darker and use the shadows to spend the whole night back to the guest house where Lou He was - when Zhen Bing and the Zhen Xing Cult monks took Zeng Jianqiu and the others away. They didn't find themselves, and they didn't know whether they were really powerless, or Wu Shanzhu had obtained his two sons and couldn't care about him for the time being.

But the moment he left the illusion, a thin voice immediately sounded in his head, as if someone had said many words to him before, but they were all isolated by the illusion, and only then did they flood into his consciousness.

It was Zhao Qi - on the way from Deyang to Jinshui, he made a plaque to worship Zhao Qi, the "Blood God", and put it in his stomach.

Li Wuxiang immediately grabbed the sound and pulled "outward" with his spiritual consciousness. A biting coldness burst from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, and the Blood God got on top of him.

"What's wrong?"

He heard Zhao Qi's voice, ethereal, like a resentful ghost sighing, but he was quite frightened and angry: "Didn't we clear things up before? What's going on? Li Wuxiang, you called them Come to me!"

Li Wuxiang was stunned: "Who? Who did I call? What's wrong with you?"

"Swordsman! You swordsmen! Did you ask you swordsmen to come to me? Li Wuxiang, I even--"

"Swordsman? Which swordsman!? Zeng Jianqiu??"

After a while, Zhao Qi's voice was heard again: "...you really don't know?"

"Nonsense. You would have died a long time ago if I wanted to do this to you. What's going on? Did you see Zeng Jianqiu? Who else? How many more? Two?"

"Two, okay, okay, as long as it wasn't you." Zhao Qi seemed to be greatly relieved, "Then does Zeng Jianqiu know about the two of us? Have you told him? I picked him before. The swordsman loves to hold grudges, so he must remember them all. Have you told him that I am a good person now? "

The three of them are in Lingshan? Then they... are dead? !

Li Wuxiang was stunned for a while. Wu Meng spent so much effort to find Zeng Jianqiu just to kill him! ?

He gritted his teeth: "Tell me clearly, where did you meet them and how did you meet them? Only then can I help you!"

"Me? I'm just...wait a minute, it's really unlucky if I stay far away..." After a while, Zhao Qi's voice came again, "Someone opened a mansion on Lingshan Mountain today! I'm not following Did you say that I don’t have much incense when I occupy this ancient cave? Oh, it does have some incense now, but I’m still far behind Zhao Puppet before, so I just wanted to go over and have a look—"

"Kaifu? What Kaifu?"

"Didn't I tell you? You didn't take my words to heart at all. Didn't I tell you that many sects will have a stronghold in Lingshan for their disciples to temporarily stay and find some Dharma in Lingshan? Material? Anyone who creates such a place here is Kaifu! "

"I don't know what connection I have with this newly opened mansion, but you actually asked me to know it - oh, okay, you must ask again. That's the thing. Didn't I tell you that Lingshan is not far away? Is this the case? Do you understand? It’s not like Yangjian. You are in Jinshui, I am in Ranshan, and he is in Anqing. , then Anqing must be further away from you than Ranshan - that's not the case, there is no such thing as distance in Lingshan. If you are in Lingshan, and you don't know that there are two places like Ranshan or Anqing, then they are very far away from you. Far, not very far...but there are no such two places at all, do you understand?"

"I understand, don't talk nonsense, just keep talking!"

"What nonsense? Someone opened a mansion in Lingshan today. I don't know why I saw it from a distance! If you see something here, it means that it has something to do with you... That's why I can I’ve been hiding in the ancient cave for so long because no one knows about me!”

"When that place opened, I didn't know which sect it belonged to. There was also an expert who came to Lingshan and was in their house! It should have been a living expert who divided the earth soul here. There are many people in that earth soul. Enough! All the resentful ghosts in Lingshan who were related to him went to the house he opened. I thought that since I could see it, something in that house must be related to me, so I went over to join in the fun... …”

"It turned out that there seemed to be a fight in the mansion, and then three swordsmen came out of the mansion and rushed into Lingshan! You said you didn't ask them to come to me, right? Then they are either dead or I came here to look for something in Lingshan Mountain. Zeng Jianqiu! He went on a killing spree after leaving the mansion, but they couldn't kill all the resentful ghosts in Lingshan. The three of them looked like they were going to die, but they just refused to go back to their mansion. Go, the bad is here—"

"As soon as I saw it was Zeng Jianqiu, he naturally saw me right away! He saw my ancient cave! Then he ran towards me and wanted to take my ancient cave!"

Li Wuxiang quickly recalled the contents of the World Explanation Collection. Regarding Lingshan, Shijie Ji said very little, but mentioned the ancient cave-Lingshan, as Zhao Qi said, is both real and illusory, and ever-changing. Every time he went to the ancient cave where Zhao Qi was, the surrounding scenery was completely different. It's different. If you don't look, you can only see a blood mist and a hole.

The reason why Zhao Puppet and Zhao Qi want to occupy the ancient cave is because it is one of the few places in Lingshan that can maintain a stable existence and where resentful ghosts cannot invade.

"Then what?"

"Then of course I ran! But this is a matter of life and death. I know him, he knows me, I can't get rid of them! Now they are still wandering around my ancient cave! What do you think I should do now? Does he know about us?"

"You ask them to go to your ancient cave, and then ask them what happened there, whether they are dead or alive. You tell Zeng Jianqiu about us, but you can only tell him that the other two can't do it. Can you do it?"

"No, no, they just saw me and I drew my sword! You know your swordsman's flying sword almost took my life-"

"I'm in the coffin city now." Li Wuxiang interrupted him, "If I'm not mistaken, the master you saw is Wu Meng, the mountain master of the True Form Sect in the coffin city. He just captured the three of them and is looking for me now. If I am found, I will definitely die-Zhao Qi, I know you, know You are the Blood God, you know your ancient cave, think about what you would do if I was caught? Put them in your ancient cave and tell me!"

"You... are in the coffin city! ? The coffin city in the territory of the True Form Sect! ? "Zhao Qi seemed to be stunned for a while, "I say, Li Wuxiang, do you want to die so much? My master... Zhao Kui is right, I am really stupid, why did I accept you as my apprentice in the first place? How can you be so troublesome! ? First you killed me, broke up Ranshan, and then went to the coffin city to make trouble? What bad luck did I have?"

"Don't talk nonsense!"

"Who is talking nonsense to you? ! You wait! I am so unlucky... Wait, can't you come and tell them yourself?"

"Only Zeng Jianqiu is here, but the other two can't be here."

"Okay, what if--" But Zhao Qi's words stopped abruptly, and then Li Wuxiang felt that the coldness on his body faded away at once. His mind was blank, like a person in extreme sleepiness, his head was numb, his consciousness was stiff, and there was only a vague thought in his head, but he just couldn't remember it.

He knew that something might be wrong, but what was it! ? He immediately let the roof of the woodshed fall down, held his breath and concentrated, starting from the last thought he could still remember and thinking slowly, grasping that vague thought bit by bit, and then he could remember that he was talking to Zhao Qi just now, but it seemed that he still missed something...

What did he miss?

Then a distant thought, which seemed distant and empty and pale, suddenly jumped into his mind-the Blood God.

Just now, he couldn't remember the "Blood God" that Zhao Qi called himself... "The Blood God" is gone! ?
