The front hall of the Taige in the dream was exactly the same as outside the dream, Shen Man was sitting on a mahogany chair, his hand tightly grasping one end of the armrest. A Taiko maid came out with tea to greet them, and then said that she was going to invite the gate supervisor.

"This snow top is very fragrant, you can't drink it outside, don't you taste it?" Tang Jiuyue lifted the lid and blew gently. Green smoke rises from the top of the teacup, and a faint fragrance surrounds it. This fragrance can calm the impatience in the heart, and people can't help but feel at ease when they smell it.

Shen Man also picked up the teacup in his hand and tasted tea according to what she said.

In a short time, one of the inner doors was opened, and a maid stood in front of the door to greet her, and then an old man came out. The old man's beard was white, but his back was straight, and he was not as stiff as the other old men. His eyebrows are very thick, his eyes are large, and it can be seen from the contours of his face that when he was young, he must have been a handsome boy who could charm thousands of girls.

Tang Jiuyue got up and bowed slightly at him, "Niece Tang Jiuyue, I've seen Uncle Zou." ”

Shen Man also got up, and was about to bow to the old man, but saw the old man walk in front of him in a few steps, supported his elbow with one hand, and smiled kindly, "The girl doesn't have to make this big salute." ”

Shen Man raised his head and looked at him with some surprise.

He is an elder and he is a junior, and it is natural for the younger generation to salute when he sees the elders. What's more, he, the elder, is also the gate supervisor of the Dafeng Dynasty, in charge of the Yin and Yang Dao of the world, and he is also a noble figure who can speak in the court and the opposition. At this moment, it is not said that it is just to be worshiped by yourself, even if you want to kneel down and worship, it is reasonable. But why is it so humble now?

Zou Yan squinted his eyes and said with a smile, "Tang Danie and this girl, please sit down." ”

"Uncle Xie Zou." Tang Jiuyue took a seat randomly, and Shen Man also returned to his seat with a stomach full of confusion.

Tang Jiuyue glanced at Shen Man, looked up at Zou Yan and said, "Uncle Zou, my niece came here with a friend today to ask you if you want someone." ”

Shen Man raised his head and pricked up his ears to listen. She thought that she would go around in a circle to mention it, but she didn't want Tang Jiuyue to get straight to the point and ask for someone directly. knew that Tang Jiuyue and Zou Yan might be familiar with each other, but they didn't expect to be so familiar.

Zou Yan looked at Shen Man with a smile, "Let Xiao Yue come to you for you, what is the relationship between you and Xiao Yue?" ”

"Friends." Before Shen Man could speak, Tang Jiuyue said lightly, her tone was flat, and her expression was as indifferent as usual.

The corners of Zou Yan's mouth were still smiling, and he cast a look at the maid standing at the door, and the maid with a blue heart got his signal, opened the inner door and went to take someone.

"Wait a moment, you two, people will be brought soon." Zou Yan leaned comfortably on the velvet chair and drank tea. After taking a sip of tea, he casually asked Tang Jiuyue, "How are your radishes?" ”

Tang Jiuyue replied respectfully, "It's not bad." ”

"I've heard that there are a lot of strong opponents this year, what are your chances of winning?"

Tang Jiuyue's eyes were raised, and the brilliance in her eyes was like the most precious pearl in the depths of the East China Sea, "The odds of victory are not in my own hands. ”

"The radish is planted by you, and the odds are naturally in your hands."

Tang Jiuyue smiled lightly, "Speaking of planting radishes, my niece's uncle Tang Sect Supervisor once looked at the destroyed mess of fields and said to his niece that when the big exam is over, he will personally calculate the loss of the Meteorological Gate, and come to you to settle accounts with the trouble you caused to his mansion." My niece once saw him in the study, and the bookkeeper crackled the abacus, and even invited Master Zeng from the teller to calculate it together......"

Zou Yan became embarrassed, "We are all contributing to the country, and it is too ...... for the Tang Sect Supervisor to do this."

Tang Jiuyue said calmly, "I have persuaded my uncle for this matter, but my uncle feels that one thing is the same thing, although nominally he is your subordinate and commands all the major categories of Yin and Yang Dao, but since it is an astronomical exam, there is no reason to put it on the meteorological gate." He already planned to go private instead of going to the emperor to complain, so he just made a list of dozens of volumes, ready to discuss with you......"

Zou Yan sat above and twisted his beard, his face was not very good.

Shen Man sat on the side dumbfounded, she didn't expect Tang Jiuyue to be so sharp and sharp-tongued, with a lotus tongue. She also thought that this future gate supervisor would only be cool and cherish words like gold. At this moment, it is really unexpected that he can choke on the gate and be speechless.

At this time, the inner door was pushed open with a "squeak", and Shen Man immediately straightened up, staring at the door without blinking. A foot wearing embroidered shoes stretched out from the door, and Shen Man knew at a glance that it was not Tang Jiuyue's foot. Sure enough, the person who came out first was the Taige maid who had just left.

The maid came in and stood by the side, and then another man came out of the unremarkable door. I saw her tall and straight, wearing a white embroidered lace dress, and walked out of the door with her hands behind her back. A pair of beautiful eyes were still cold before, like a cold light. But when she glanced at everyone in the hall, especially when she saw Shen Man opposite, her cold gaze softened a little.

"Xiaoman." She said softly, as if she had passed through thousands of mountains and rivers, as if a greeting had suddenly come from the hollow valley.

Zou Yan watched silently, and saw Tang Jiuyue wearing a mask getting up from the chair, staring at the person who had just come in with complicated eyes. At this moment, Zou Yan's old face full of folds showed a little smile, which made the folds on his face deeper, as if they had been cut by a knife.

Tang Jiuyue, who walked out of the inner door, also saw another person, this person was wearing a mask on his face, and he looked a little shorter than himself, but his demeanor had an inexplicable sense of familiarity. And her eyes ...... This kind of look Tang Jiuyue saw in the mirror more than once. But it is different from what you see in the mirror, what you see in the mirror is yourself, and it is yourself that has weakened after refraction, but the eyes of the person in front of you directly made Tang Jiuyue feel threatened. Because there is another person in this world, exactly like himself.

As soon as Shen Man saw her come out, his eyes felt sour. Hearing her call again, he walked toward her in three steps and two steps, stopped in front of her, and looked up and down. The eyes turned red unconsciously, and a crystal tear rolled down his cheek. She raised her sleeves to wipe her tears, looked at Tang Jiuyue who was close at hand, and said sourly, "I thought I wouldn't see you again, are you okay, they didn't embarrass you, right?" ”

When Tang Jiuyue saw her like this, she knew that she had been worried outside for a long time, and sighed and comforted, "Don't worry, they didn't embarrass me." ”

Shen Man continued, "You said you were coming to Taige, but you didn't know that there was no news when you left." Later, a notice was posted in front of the Taige, saying that the 'demon girl' would be burned to death, and I was so scared that I came here. Now that you are safe, I am relieved. ”

When Tang Jiuyue heard this, she turned her head and asked Zou Yan, "Did you really hang up a notice saying that you were going to burn me?" ”

Zou Yan coughed, and pointed to the one with the mask, "You misunderstood, I said that it was her who was going to burn." ”

The man wearing the mask turned his face and asked in a cold voice, "So Uncle Zou is going to burn me?" ”

Zou Yan smiled dryly, "There was a misunderstanding, if you don't do this, how can you invite Miss Shen to come." ”

Shen Man trembled, she had never mentioned her name, and since she dreamed, she had also given her surname Tang and was named Luluo. How did this Zou Yan know that his surname was Shen? Could it be that even this can be calculated?

"I'm just a nobody, why did Lord Gatekeeper invite me?"

Zou Yan's smile gradually faded, he continued to stroke his beard, paused for a moment and then smiled again, "I thought that with my lifespan, it would never be possible to see you, but I don't know why there is such an opportunity, but when the opportunity comes, I will definitely seize it." After saying this, he turned his head sideways and looked at Tang Jiuyue who was not wearing a mask, "Xiaoyue, you should know what you have to do, don't live up to that person's instructions to you." ”

Shen Man heard the fog, turned his head to look at Tang Jiuyue, and saw that there was a dark cloud of depression rolling in her eyes, this kind of look was something he had never seen before, with a strange taste of alienation, and a trace of fear, killing, and determination.

After a while, Tang Jiuyue resolutely replied, "Don't bother. Then he said, "Can I go?" ”

Without waiting for Zou Yan to reply, she heard another voice that was exactly the same as her say, "Wait." She walked in front of Tang Jiuyue and Shen Man, and her face behind the mask must have a stern expression, "I have something to ask you." She stopped in front of them.

"Girl, please." Tang Jiuyue replied indifferently.

The other party was about to speak, but saw a maid running in and kneeling on the ground.

Zou Yan raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's the alarm?" ”

The maid raised her head, her face pale, "Report to the gate supervisor, in the field of the meteorological gate...... Dig out a big tripod...... Inside that big ding...... All...... It's all corpses! ”
