Chapter 173: The Covenant of Wupan
When night falls, the lights in Taicang City are bright, and pedestrians are happy.
Sun Daren, Wei Lai and others walked among them, Sun Daren walked along the way, and felt that everything around him became more and more familiar.
"I said this, why do you think I've seen it somewhere?"
Sun Daren looked at it for a long time and felt more and more strange, and couldn't help but ask.
Bai Mingchun and Xing Yu, who were walking beside him, didn't pay attention to what they said, but secretly felt that Sun Daren was acting coyly.
During the break, they asked Xu Yue when they were going to go with Wei Lai and his party, and Xu Yue replied that they could only say goodbye to them after completing this trip to Boundless Academy.
The two of them couldn't figure out the reason, but they vaguely guessed that their palace master might have something unspeakable.
But they are not good at studying after all, and this trip to the Boundless Academy is known to everyone, it is through Baiyu Town, crossing the Daliang Pass is the nearest way, this time to this unknown Taicang City, quite a bit of a different taste, so in their opinion, it must be Wei Lai deliberately delaying time to entangle his palace master, as for what Sun Daren said, I am afraid it is just nonsense that has already been discussed with Wei Lai. After all, Ningzhou is thousands of miles away from Taicang City, which is located in the hinterland of Great Chu, but anyone with some brains will not believe that there can be any old people from him in this place.
Xing Yu and Bai Mingchun scoffed at this matter.
But Ji Huanxi, who was beside Sun Daren, suddenly spit out three words: "Ning Xiaocheng." ”
Sun Daren was stunned for a moment, then his eyes lit up, and he patted his head and said: "Yes, yes, yes! You look at this street, the layout and architectural style are really a little similar to Hengluo Street in Ningxiao City." ”
As he spoke, he looked further, but saw an intersection not far ahead, and a stone monument stood in the center. This is clearly the junction of Hengluo Street and Xunyang Street, where the Hanxing Monument is located.
It's just that, compared to the spectacular scene of the ten-mile long street in Ningxiao City, the two long streets here seem to be much smaller, and the stone tablet in the center is only one-tenth the size of the Hanxing Tablet, and there is nothing on the stone tablet, so there is no magical function that can record the ranking of young geniuses in Ningzhou. In the final analysis, these are all fakes modeled after Ning Xiaocheng.
But in the hinterland of Great Chu, a city modeled after the architecture of Ningxiao City suddenly appeared, which is an extremely strange thing no matter how you look at it.
"But why does this Great Chu have such a city?" Adhering to the principle of asking if you don't understand, Sun Daren quickly announced his doubts.
Ji Huanxi glanced at Sun Daren impatiently and said, "Read more books." ”
Sun Daren, who was inexplicably taught a lesson by Ji Huanxi, smiled, looked up and looked ahead, but saw Wei Lai pulling a passer-by to ask something.
The passer-by seemed to be a little surprised by Wei Lai's question, and his face showed a little surprise, but after a few breaths, he still pointed forward, and there were words in his mouth, too far away, Sun Daren couldn't really hear what the other party was saying, but faintly felt that the other party seemed to be giving Wei Lai directions.
He couldn't hide his thoughts, he wanted to ask why this place was so strange and why Wei Lai knew about this place, after all, he had never heard Wei Lai mention this place before.
But after thinking about it, at this moment, Wei Lai and Xu Yue are walking side by side, and the relationship between them is advancing by leaps and bounds
The brother and daughter-in-law who got it flew away, so they had to pay for the loss, so they suppressed the doubts in their hearts and followed behind the two with a frown.
Soon Wei Lai found an inn and led everyone into it.
"The shopkeeper, six rooms. Wei Lai said to the shopkeeper.
Although Xing Yu and Bai Mingchun were extremely wary of Wei Lai, they had to admit that most of the inns selected by Wei Lai were cheap and good, and the accommodation and food along the way were extremely comfortable, but when he heard this, Xing Yu couldn't help frowning, and said loudly: "There are seven of us, why are there six rooms?"
"Oh, I'm in the same room with Yue'er. Wei Lai bowed his head to pay the bill, and replied calmly without looking back.
When these words came out, everyone's faces became extremely wonderful at that time.
Xing Yu and Bai Mingchun's faces were shocked, Ji Huanxi's eyes widened, and Sun Daren secretly rubbed his eyebrows at Wei Lai for a while, and then quietly gave him a thumbs up.
When such news came out, Xing Yu and Bai Mingchun were naturally full of indignation, secretly feeling that the other party was gaining an inch, and they were about to attack, but they attracted Xu Yue's eyes that signaled the two of them not to act rashly. The two of them had no choice but to suppress the anger in their hearts for the time being, but there was already a murderous surge in their eyes when they looked at Wei Lai.
With Wei Lai's cultivation, the two of them couldn't hide this from Wei Lai, but he didn't care about it, just paid for the room, ordered a meal, and after eating something with everyone, he led Xu Yue away under the strange eyes of everyone.
Sun Daren looked at this scene and smiled, but Ji Huanxi had a strange mind.
Instead, the flowing fire held the wooden chopsticks in his hand and gurgled, gritting his silver teeth and secretly saying, "Thief!"
......
The next day, when the sky was bright, Wei Lai pushed open the door, and the two figures fell straight through the door.
Wei Lai was a little surprised, and when he looked at it, he saw that the two were Xing Yu and Bai Mingchun.
It turned out that after the two of them heard that Wei Lai was going to live with Xu Yue, they immediately sat still, and after thinking about it, they came to the door of Wei Lai's room together, and squatted all night, but whenever Xu Yue made the slightest sound of begging for mercy, the two of them were ready to break into the door and fight with Wei Lai.
It's just that after Wei Lai and Xu Yue entered the room, they turned off the lights and fell asleep, without any sound, and the two squatted until the second half of the night, sleepiness hit, and they actually leaned on the door of the room and slept until dawn.
"I can't imagine that you Guiyuan Palace still likes to listen to the vulgarity of people's walls?" Wei looked at the two who woke up and whispered.
The two of them were still sleeping in a daze, and when they heard this, they were immediately furious and were about to refute, but a girl in white behind Wei Lai slowly walked out, looked at the two and asked in a deep voice, "Why are you here?"
"Palace master, let's ......" The two saw that Xu Yue seemed to be a little dissatisfied, and they wanted to explain immediately.
"I don't want this to happen a second time. Xu Yue didn't give the two of them a chance to talk at all, and said in a cold voice.
The two of them immediately lowered their heads when they heard this, but they couldn't help but feel a little aggrieved in their hearts. The two of them were worried about Xu Yue, so they just squatted outside the house all night, but their palace master didn't appreciate it at all, but scolded them, anyone who encountered this incident might not be happy, but where did they know that Xu Yue was afraid that the two of them would anger Wei Lai, so that this killing god would have murderous intentions and harm their own lives.
......
This matter was not mentioned, although Xing Yu and the others were unhappy, they still packed up their salutes and came to the inn hall with Wei Lai for breakfast, thinking that they were going to prepare for the road, but Wei Lai said that he would stay in the city all day today and leave tomorrow.
Mo said that Xing Yu and the others were Sun Daren, and they also used it as an excuse for Wei Lai to want to spend more time with Xu Yue, and Wei Lai didn't explain, only said that he wanted to visit his old friend today, so he had to stay for a day.
This person had to bow his head under the eaves, and although Xing Yu and the others had "insight" into Wei Lai's calculations, they couldn't say anything more after all.
However, before Wei Lai took Xu Yue out, Xing Yu's eyes suddenly rolled, and he pulled up Bai Mingchun and said that he wanted to go with him. She thought that Wei could only talk nonsense if she wanted to see the old man, although she couldn't stop the other party, but following the other party to expose his lies, thinking that it would also make the other party restrain after that.
And Sun Daren, who originally wanted Wei Lai and Xu Yue to be alone and cultivate a relationship, hurriedly proposed to go with him when he saw this, thinking that he would not let the two Xing Yu disturb his brother, so it was originally a matter of Wei Lai and Xu Yue going, but for a while, it turned into a scene of a group of people going out together.
......
Everyone followed Wei Lai through Taicang City, Wei Lai stopped all the way, and asked passers-by from time to time, a look of trouble, looking at Xing Yu and Bai Mingchun sneering in their hearts, secretly saying that this guy was still pretending to be presentable, and his desire to see how the other party ended became more and more serious.
In this way, after walking through this Taicang City for a long time, everyone gradually left the downtown of Taicang City, and the surrounding pedestrians gradually became fewer, and a temple appeared not far in front of them.
Xing Yu's brows furrowed and looked at that place - the temple was not big, but it looked like it was four or five zhang square, and there was a plaque on it that the paint had fallen off a little, and the four characters of Zhou's Taimiao were written on it.
Xing Yu couldn't help but be stunned, the word Taimiao, that is exclusive to the royal family, ordinary families are incapable of what kind of monstrous power, and they can only set up the ancestral temple and set up the Taimiao, which is equivalent to being on an equal footing with the Dachu royal family, thinking of this, Xing Yu couldn't help frowning, but he couldn't know which family in this small city was so bold and reckless that he dared to set up the Taimiao.
She was puzzled, but saw that Wei Lai had already stepped into the temple.
Although the temple is simple, it is obviously taken care of from time to time, the ground in the temple is spotless, the candles on the candlesticks are vigorous, it seems that they have just been replaced, and the offerings are all fresh melons and fruits.
And the spiritual platform in front of him was densely packed with dozens of plaques, Xing Yu and everyone were about to look at that place, but at this moment, they saw the spiritual power around Wei Lai's body surging, his Wuyang Divine Gate suddenly emerged, and a Buddha and demon suddenly appeared behind him.
Wei Lai took the candle incense, lit it with spiritual power, clasped his hands together, he looked at those card tokens with a solemn face, bowed respectfully to them, and said in his mouth: "Yandi was born late to Wei Lai, and he should make an appointment with Wupan......"
"Take the remnants of the ancestors of Guan Shanqi and come to worship the heroes and martyrs of the previous dynasty. ”
"If the public has spirits, please also use the power of incense to cast the body of the Yin God, and invite the remnant souls of the predecessors to settle in the Taimiao......"
"If you are willing to be born later, please be gracious, and your later life will be unforgettable. ”
After saying this, the King of Wei, who was flying and domineering in the eyes of everyone, actually knelt down in response and kowtowed three times in a row towards the many spirit cards.
