Chapter Ninety-One: The Messenger
I asked again, but no one answered. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
The leading red-clothed eunuch was not annoyed.
Instead, he smiled as before, and repeated it again, he hooked his lips and said slowly: "Excuse me, which one is Lin Jiu from Yizhuang on Qingliu Mountain in Renjia Town, Lin Ye?" ”
Uncle Jiu's brows furrowed tightly and he stepped forward—but his eyes kept on the battle outside, which was completely impossible to appear at this side door!
Because less than three meters away from the side gate is a row of dense bamboo forests specially planted by themselves!
In that narrow space, there are simply not so many people lined up in a straight row!
But now there is such a strange scene......
There is only one possibility -
These "people" are now standing in the way of hell!!!
The so-called "Yang has a yang road, and Yin has a yin road", obviously there is no spatial change in the courtyard where he and others came out, but it is just a courtyard wall, but the space outside the courtyard has been superimposed, connecting the side door of his Yizhuang to the underworld!!
What a cultivation this is!
Uncle Nine stood on the steps of the door, cautiously refusing to take a step out of the courtyard door, although his heart had already surging with waves, but his face was calm, and his voice was flat and did not show any emotion: "I am Lin Jiu." Dare to ask who the Yin envoy is? ”
The pink and white lanterns opened the way, indicating that these uninvited guests did not have the intention of harming themselves and others, otherwise they were red or scarlet lanterns, on the contrary, the color of this lantern was extremely close to white, which showed that these people were not here to find trouble, but to send good things to themselves.
The rules of the underworld are different from those of the yang, and the yang world pays attention to the color of red is a festive color, but in the underworld, the red color can only indicate the great murderer: the evil ghost wears bright red, the eyes are bright red when killing, the color of blood after killing someone, etc., etc., all explain the difference.
In the underworld, white lanterns are hung only for the funeral of the dead, and light lanterns are hung for bad things, but in the underworld it is the opposite: light blue lanterns are used to summon spirits, light green lanterns are used to reassure souls, and light gray lanterns are used to condense broken souls...... And so on and so forth, and the pink and white lanterns in the hands of these "guests" in front of them show that this is a mission sent by a small force in the underworld.
It is a diplomatic lantern of "making friends and relatives from afar, and accepting good neighbors from afar".
I saw that the red-clothed eunuch saw Uncle Jiu stand up, and immediately put a bright smile on his face, and first said politely: "Oh, it turns out that this is Lin Jiu, Lin Ye-the villain will greet you first!" ”
I saw that the red-clothed eunuch didn't just talk, but really bent down and saluted.
Uncle Jiu's face gradually softened, and he could still put on a smile and said, "The Yin envoy is polite." ”
After speaking, Uncle Nine replied with half a bow.
The four-eyed uncle on the side quietly came forward from behind, quietly pulled Jiale, who was stunned in front of the team and didn't dare to move, to the back, and stood in front to accompany his senior brother.
Since there is an uninvited guest, it seems that it is impossible to leave tonight, it is better to stay here to help the senior brother, what is the Yin envoy group in front of you trying to do!
Then the red-clothed eunuch stood up straight, since the politeness was over, it was time to get down to business, only to see the red-clothed eunuch with a friendly smile on his face, holding a handful of white dust in his arms, not in a hurry, and said clearly: "The villain is a small eunuch in the palace of His Majesty Taizong in the Forbidden City, surnamed Tu." ”
"Two days later, it will be the seven hundred and thirtieth birthday of His Majesty Taizong in the Forbidden City, and His Majesty Taizong specially sent a villain to send an invitation to Lin Ye——"
Speaking of this, the red-clothed eunuch surnamed Tu waved his hand back, and the two little eunuchs in Tsing Yi who were holding a purple brocade box in their hands immediately stepped forward, stood half a step behind the red-clothed eunuch, and bowed down and raised the purple brocade box in his hand above his head.
The red-clothed eunuch surnamed Tu still had a smile on his face, and he first twisted the hidden button of the purple brocade box in the hand of the little eunuch in Tsing Yi on the left according to the number of etiquette, and opened it.
Inside is a red background gold edge supported by red silk, with the two big characters of "invitation" written in gold letters, and even the ninth uncle who is standing far away can be flashed by the golden characters on this invitation - this is clearly soft gold!
As we all know, gold is a precious metal, but not everyone knows that gold itself is soft.
In ancient times, most of the gold used for circulation was a small piece, and when gold was circulating, both sides of the transaction had to take a small scale to weigh the content of the piece of gold - the more gold content, the softer the gold! And the more you can purify the gold, the more difficult the process becomes!
The more brilliant the color of the gold will be!
In this troubled world, it is really a luxury to melt soft gold into words!
This gold is the gold that circulates in the sun! Wencai and Qiusheng, who were standing behind Uncle Jiu, stared at the invitation with their eyes straight at the same time, and swallowed a mouthful of saliva in unison.
Especially as the four-eyed Taoist leader of the uncle, the "grunt" of swallowing saliva is the loudest - he is a well-known small wealth fan in the whole Maoshan! Who doesn't know!
You can see how attractive this invitation is to him!
Only Jiale was stupid and unmoved—he had grown up in the mountains since he was a child, and he didn't have a very good feeling for such things as silver, but just thought, "Wow, this invitation is shiny, so beautiful!" ”
However, the sound of this "grunt" sounded loudly, but Uncle Jiu blushed, and he no longer looked like a serious and serious exorcism Dao like before.
What a shame!
"Ahem!!!" Uncle Nine clenched his fists and pretended to cough twice, and the stupid three people behind him suddenly came to their senses, and the four-eyed uncle blushed with shame, feeling ashamed of losing the face of his elders and losing his temper in front of the juniors, Wencai also felt ashamed of himself for losing face to the master again, but Qiusheng, with a dead pig not afraid of boiling water, his family was originally a rich and luxurious family, but later the family was ruined and the family fell into the middle of the road, and he had long felt calm about his "love" for gold and silver treasures. I just opened my eyes and stopped looking at the invitation, but I didn't even blush at all - I have to say, this Qiusheng is even more cheeky than Uncle Four-eyed!
The red-clothed eunuch pointed to the invitation card in the brocade box and smiled modestly: "This is our invitation to enter the palace in the Great Forbidden City. ”
After the red-clothed eunuch finished explaining, he waved his hand, and the little eunuch in Tsing Yi who was holding the purple brocade box walked to the bottom of the door steps with small steps, and held the brocade box high in front of Dao Jiu.
Before Uncle Nine could pick it up, he saw Wen Cai suddenly jumping over and said happily: "Master, I'm coming!" ”
On a formal occasion like this, there is usually no need for the master to appear, and he, the little apprentice, should make that black face for the master and let the master maintain his demeanor, just like when he was in the café two days ago, when the manager stopped them, Wen Cai did a similar role.
But this time it's different! The little eunuch in Tsing Yi was still standing two or three steps away from the steps, and if he wanted to pick up the purple brocade box containing the invitation, he would have to get out of this step!
But beyond the stairs is the road of hell! Even Uncle Nine himself is now standing in the steps, vigilantly not daring to take half a step out of the steps, this writer actually doesn't know that he is afraid to run out directly?!
Seeing that Wen Cai was about to step out of the steps, Uncle Nine hurriedly stopped him, and after glaring at Wen Cai fiercely, Uncle Nine scolded Wen Cai in order to hide his vigilance against the mission outside the door: "Adults speak, children don't interject!" ”
Then he turned to the red-clothed eunuch and said: "The little apprentice is stubborn, because the discipline of the poor road is not strict, and the yin envoy is not to blame." ”
How could the eunuch in red be to blame? Of course, he could see Uncle Jiu's vigilance against them, but who told Uncle Jiu's side door that the place was so small, so that he and the others had to directly connect to the Yin and Yang Dao, otherwise, how could there be such a gap?
What the? Why don't you go through the front door, you ask?
Stupid! The main gate is guarded by the gods of the four directions, and even if you pass the main gate, after opening the main gate, it is the mellow Taishan stone guarding the murderous atmosphere, and the ancestral spiritual position of guarding this Yizhuang!
They're just sending an invitation, why are they wading through the muddy waters?!
Who knew that it was such a coincidence, just connected to the Yin and Yang Road, and before the door was called, this side door opened from the inside......
The red-clothed eunuch really didn't have any other intentions, just to send an invitation, so the red-clothed eunuch was not annoyed when he heard Uncle Jiu's pale explanation, but smiled understandingly, and didn't say anything else, so he waved his hand again, twisted the hidden button of the purple brocade box on the right, and opened it, it turned out to be a set of dresses worn by special guests during the state banquet of the Ming Dynasty inlaid with a lot of fragmented gems, silver silk edges, and Tengyun satin!
It's okay this time, not to mention Wencai, Qiusheng and Uncle Simu, even Jiale, who has never had a concept of "luxury", is obsessed with his eyes!
This dress looks so good!
The red-clothed eunuch seemed to be very satisfied with everyone's performance, he smiled and waved his hand, and the little eunuch in Tsing Yi, who was wearing an ancient dress, immediately paced small steps, lifted the brocade box above his head, and walked down the steps.
As if he had been instructed by something, this little eunuch in Tsing Yi took two or three steps more than the previous little eunuch, and was already able to hold the brocade box within the reach of Uncle Jiu - there was no need for Uncle Nine to take half a step at all!
The little eunuch in front of him with the invitation card also took two or three steps forward with the little eunuch with the dress, and the invitation was lined up with the dress.
Uncle Jiu's cheeks turned a little red at this time, let go of Wen Cai, and asked him to pick up the brocade box.
There are two brocade boxes, and Qiusheng behind him also came up.
Then I heard the red-clothed eunuch say: "Two days later, please Lin Ye must rush to the Dark Moon City to wait before the moon is empty, and I will send someone to pick up the distinguished guests." ”
"Lin Ye is a special guest, and he can bring no more than five entourages with him."
"Still looking forward to ...... on time"
Before the words fell, the procession of messengers on the underworld road in front of him gradually disappeared......
