Volume 2 The Dance of the Demons in the Imperial Capital Chapter 102 The Master Is Not Present (2)
The inn branch of Yannan City is no different from other cities, they are all guarded by some yellow characters and very few Xuanzi iron guards, and they usually deal with some daily affairs when they have nothing to do.
After these people from Ueya City arrived, they were all arranged in rooms on the fifth floor and lived separately in several groups.
Most of them are two people in a room, Yingcang and Yao into a room, Wu Chen and Ouyang Qi in a room, Ji Yu and Yinglang brought by Wu Chen in a room, and the other guards also have roommates, on the other side, Liaofeng Liaoyang father and son naturally live in one room, orange cats are not people after all, and they don't have to sleep in a bed alone, so he squeezed together with the father and son, and he can chat for a day when he has nothing to do, and teach Liaoyang a little cultivation experience.
In this way, only Bo Jun and Xiao Ai are left, Bo Jun feels that after all, men and women are different, and he plans to live separately from Xiao Ai, but Xiao Ai is crying and making trouble, and he has to live with Bo Jun, so Bo Jun has no choice but to respond, so he lives in one room for the two, which makes Bo Jun have a big headache and feels that it is inconvenient to do anything, but Xiao Ai is smiling and smiling, without a trace of unaccustomed feeling.
Xiao Ai's mind is the same as that of a seven or eight-year-old girl, not only is she very arrogant, but she doesn't even have a concept of the difference between men and women, her behavior and dress in the house are quite casual, and Bojun often turns around and deliberately doesn't look at her.
Ying Cang came back from Yuqing Palace, went upstairs and entered the room, and told Yao Cheng about the matter as it was, Yao Cheng sighed and said, "Maybe there is a last resort reason for Feng Chen's real person to do this." If we don't want to help, we can't force it. ”
Ying Cang had no choice but to nod and asked, "When will Mr. Yao Chan arrive?" Yao Chan is a Tianzi Iron Guard of the inn, and after receiving the request for help from here, he is rushing from Quancheng alone.
"It's probably going to be another day. Yao Cheng replied, the two of them sighed at the same time, and thought that Wu Chen next door was the highest-ranking person present, so it was better to tell him at this time, so the two of them knocked on the door next door again, and after entering the house, they saw the night watchman Ouyang Qi lying on the bed sleeping, covered in bandages, his face was pale, and his breath was low.
Wu Chen pointed at Ouyang, made a silent gesture, and walked out with Yao Cheng and Yingcang. Ying Cang briefly talked to Wu Chen about the situation at the door, Wu Chen frowned, thought about it, and took the two of them to the room of Liaofeng father and son.
Liaoyang's injury is not good, naturally still lying on the bed to recuperate, Liaofeng that day tried his best to kill a witch of the Lich clan, but also the loss of power is terrible, and he can't recover for a while, his complexion is not very good and he is leaning on the bed, and the orange cat is lying at the end of Liaoyang's bed, while eating small dried fish, while chatting with the father and son with saliva.
Although the injury on its shoulder is not healed, it does not affect its interest in bragging. As soon as Wu Chen and the three of them entered the house, they saw this scene.
Wu Chen went in and waved his hand, so that the Liaofeng father and son, who were about to get up, did not have to be polite. walked over and sat down on the chairs next to them, and talked to the three of them about the affairs of the Yuqing Palace, and also talked about the recent situation by the way.
In Wu Chen's expectations, Liao Feng is a martial arts master, and when he rests for two days, he will recover and still be a strong teammate, although the strength of the orange cat is okay, but its injury will not heal for a while, but there is a boss black cat behind it, Wu Chen can be said to know more about the strength of the black cat than anyone present, he knows the power of the black cat very well, and he is also a powerful teammate (although Wu Chen once led the order to take five earth character iron guards and a prison demon rope to capture the black cat, and also broke three partners in the chaos between the black cat and the night fish in Jinmen, but when he heard from the night watchman Ouyang Qi that the black cat did not kill anyone, it was framed, and he desperately went all the way south to inform the inn of the secret of the Lich Clan and the Nightfish Clan, and his evaluation of the black cat instantly rose to the height of looking up. The resentment against the black cat in my heart has also dissipated).
There may be some other way to share the information you have received so far with everyone, and everyone will come together.
When Ying Cang said that he was rejected by Zhang Danyun for help in Yuqing Palace, the orange cat suddenly spoke: "This little Taoist priest is not lying, and the old Taoist is indeed not in Yuqing Palace." He's in the imperial capital!"
A few days ago, on the second day of the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar, Xu Guan rushed back to Shanggu from the imperial capital to meet the black cat, but he didn't wait for the black cat, but met Ouyang Qi, the current night watchman who had just returned to Shanggu from the inn, and tried his skills, and promised him to teach him the complete Qiankun recipe when he finished his work. That is, on that day, Xu Guan chatted with everyone, talked about some of the circumstances of his departure, and mentioned the old heavenly master who had been in the imperial capital and Longhu Mountain, the real person of Fengchen in Yuqing Palace, and the iron guards of the inn to resist the stubborn stones of Nanshan together, so the orange cat would know that the old way of Fengchen was not in Yuqing Palace, but in the imperial capital.
Ying Cang had no choice but to smile bitterly when he heard this: "I knew this earlier, how good it would be to get everyone together in advance to discuss." It's just that the guards of our inn don't even know about it. ”
Wu Chen explained: "In order to improve efficiency and avoid useless work, the inn often selectively sends out messages. For example, some time ago, we secretly rushed to Rehe to look for Moge, and only a few of us knew the news, and this time the imperial capital was besieged, and the news was only sent to the city closest to the imperial capital, so as to ensure the most timely support from the iron guard.
At that time, you didn't receive the news in Kamiya, and I didn't receive it in Jinmen, so it's normal. However, due to the proximity of Kamiya and the distance, I received the news of your request for support. ”
"I see. "Ying Cang had never paid attention to it before, and perhaps this was the first time he had encountered such a major event. After listening to Wu Chen's explanation, he had a general understanding of the inn's scheduling mechanism for personnel, and secretly remembered it in his heart.
"As far as we know, the old devil of Nanshan Stubborn Stone and a great witch of the Lich clan have been lurking near the imperial capital, and now two more great witches have rushed to the imperial capital, and now I am afraid that they have arrived, and it is too late to stop them. Fortunately, the nearby iron guards rushed over, and there were two Taoist grandmasters in charge, plus the imperial capital already had an unbreakable super enchantment, which could not be broken for a while. The orange cat groaned, and wondered: "It's just that why do they have to besiege the imperial capital? It stands to reason that the Nanshan stubborn stone can't intercept Xu Guan and should be withdrawn, but he still stays in front of the imperial capital and doesn't leave, and there are even lich demons rushing to support him." What is there in the imperial capital that can make them so persistent?"
"I've heard the elders say that the Lich Clan wants to break into the Fengfu Jade Gate we guard, climb the Spirit Mountain and ascend to the Witch God; I don't know if these two statements are true. Jiang Ke died in battle on the fifteenth night of the lunar calendar, and when Ying Cang mentioned this friend at this time, he couldn't help but dim his eyes, put his hand in his pocket, and touched the cigarette case that he had been carrying with him.
"Both are true. Wu Chen told everyone the origin of the Lich Clan and the inn again, it was nothing more than that the inn and the Lich Clan were originally descendants of the Wu Clan, and later because of the disagreement over the instructions left by the ancestor Wu Xian to protect the Fengfu Jade Gate, it would develop later swings against each other, and the side that disobeyed Wu Xian's instructions was driven out and fled to Shu to become the Lich Clan in later generations.
It's also because the inn once borrowed the power of the divine beasts to defeat the Lich Clan, so the Lich Clan is also very concerned about this.
"But I grew up in an inn, so why have I never seen the Fengfu Jade Gate?" asked Yingcang.
"That's the highest class. Of course, you little ones can't have seen it. ”
"Have you seen that?"
Wu Chen was speechless for a while, coughed embarrassedly, turned to the orange cat and said, "You just asked why you want to surround the imperial capital? That's because there is a well in the imperial capital." ”
"Lock Longjing?"
"Yes!" Wu Chen's expression was very serious: "There is really a dragon locked in that well." ”
"The Lich Clan wants to release that dragon and use its power against the beasts of the inn?" guessed Orange Cat.
"It should be. Wu Chen said: "But there is more than one dragon." Besides, the dragon that locked the dragon well has been trapped for so long, and it is old and its strength has declined, and it is unknown whether it can fight or not. ”
"But even so, the Lich will try their best. With such a big event, they won't pass up any chances. Yingcang concluded.
"yes. Wu Chen agreed, and said leisurely: "Don't worry, the Lich Clan must have a follow-up method." There will also be countermeasures at the inn headquarters. Wait, maybe we'll be notified in two days to be transferred to support the imperial capital. ”
Ying Cang and Yao Cheng both nodded, and Liao Feng and his son were dumbfounded, this was the first time they had heard someone so sure of the existence of the mythical dragon and the divine beast.
The orange cat remembered Xu Guan and what happened to him: Xu Guan once said that his jade pendant was retrieved at the bottom of the Locked Dragon Well, and the reason why the jade pendant was at the bottom of the Locked Dragon Well was because it was hidden there by the lich four hundred years ago. At that time, I still wondered why the lich had to run to the lock dragon well to hide a jade pendant, but now I can figure it out, maybe in the big battle that year, the lich clan had the idea of breaking the lock dragon well to rescue the old dragon, and also took action, but unfortunately it was stopped by the inn.
Lao Long was trapped by Liu Bowen and Yao Guangxiao in the Hongwu period, and the war that year was in the Wanli period, and it was only about 200 years since Lao Long was trapped. According to the approximate time, the old dragon should still be in the prime of life or middle-aged at that time. The orange cat felt lucky, fortunately the Lich Clan did not succeed in rescuing the old dragon at that time, otherwise it would have been a big trouble.
