There are a lot of carriages in the open space on both sides of the side door, when Fang Ling and his party get off, there is also a carriage on the opposite side and a group of people, there are a total of six people in this line, the most eye-catching is only two, the front is a seventy-year-old man, the tiger mouth is broad, the appearance is majestic, he is wearing a loose gold silk robe, and his bearing is like a prince in the world.

Beside him was an old man in a black robe with crane hair and a childish face, who looked about the same age as the former, with a thin face with a bit of arrogance, and a feather fan in his hand, like a talented wise man.

Long before coming, Zhou Shu and the two ghosts had already investigated the people who participated in the conference this time, and Fang Ling looked at the appearance characteristics of these two people, and immediately distinguished, the former is the opponent of the Sun family, Du Tianzhao, the head of the Du family who is currently the chief dispatcher of the Yin Division, and the wise man behind is Tang Wuyan, the master of the Sun family who wants to invite out of the mountain.

It is said that Tang Wuyan was an important minister of a big country in the yang world before his death, he rarely had a talent name, and he entered the officialdom at a young age, but this person has always been proud of his talents, although his intelligence is the first in the country, but he has not been reused. Later, there were military generals who rebelled, led hundreds of thousands of troops to surround the imperial city, the emperor burned the fire to himself, Tang Wuyan didn't want to be a rebellious minister, and finally had no choice but to hang his family and be a ghost who died unjustly.

After his death, he was a ghost, Tang Wuyan traveled to various divisions of the prefecture, wrote books, and became very famous in the prefecture, and later lived in seclusion in the deep mountains in the north, and was hidden for a hundred years.

The Sun family spent a lot of time looking for his hiding place, preparing a generous gift and preparing to invite him out of the mountain, but unfortunately he was preempted by the Du family, and this horizontal feud made the relationship between the two families suddenly incompatible.

Sure enough, as soon as he saw Du Tianzhao, Sun Shangling's face suddenly darkened, and he snorted heavily.

Du Tianzhao had a thick smile on his face, and laughed: "Isn't this Lord Sun, your face is not very good, it seems that you have worked a little too hard for this conference." ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Fang Ling and the three of them again, a little strange.

Sun Shangling sneered: "How can I have Master Du '' work? It really took a lot of effort to invite Senior Tang out of the mountain. ”

Tang Wuyan obviously didn't know that the grievances between the two were caused by himself, so he stood quietly to the side and didn't speak, and Sun Shangling couldn't say anything about him stealing information, after all, it was already like this, and it was useless to talk about it.

Of course, Du Tianzhao could hear the sarcasm in his words, but instead of getting angry, he laughed and said, "Thank you Lord Sun for your concern, it's worth the effort to invite Senior Tang." Speaking of this, he looked left and right, and said playfully, "I see that Lord Sun seems to have invited these three young Xianmen disciples, which is really interesting, and it is really a big wonder to let the Xianmen disciples come to participate in the treasure appraisal meeting of the underworld, and I will have to see their eyesight in a while." ”

Tang Wuyan glanced at Fang Ling and the three of them lightly, and the corners of his mouth hooked up with a trace of contempt, obviously thinking that none of the three could be his opponents.

After Du Tianzhao finished laughing, he led the people away and took the lead into the side door.

An elder of the Sun family snorted coldly and said, "What a shameless chief dispatcher, he dares to be so presumptuous after doing such a despicable thing, it's really hateful!"

The other elder seemed a lot calmer, and said with a smile: "He has Zhang Liangji, I have a wall ladder, although Tang Wuyan is powerful, but it is just a rumor, Fang Gongzi's eyesight is obvious to us, no matter what is in the world, the sea and the north, none of them can escape his eyes, the old man is convinced that there is Fang Gongzi, and our Sun family will definitely take the lead this year!"

Everyone nodded again and again, and Sun Shangling's mood suddenly improved a lot, and he laughed and said: "The third uncle is right, why do we need to worry about him in words, and when we defeat him at the meeting, we have to see what kind of expression he has." ”

So, the group laughed and talked and walked towards the side door, along the wide avenue to a large hall, the hall was built magnificently, the jade pillars are numerous, according to Sun Shangling's words, this is specially built for the treasure appreciation and spirit conference, which shows the importance of the mansion master Sun Fan Wen to this meeting.

The main hall is divided into two parts, inside and outside, there are already thirty or forty people at the beginning of the outer hall, as soon as Sun Shangling walks in, someone comes up to say hello and chat.

Fang Ling glanced at the scene, combined the surrounding characters with the investigation of Zhou Shu's two ghosts, and slowly 'touched' the identities of the people in the outer hall.

There are a total of eighteen families participating in the conference this year, each of which is either unofficial or rich, and is a well-known figure in the Nanlu Difu, that is to say, the top group of the entire Difu is gathered in this hall.

But the most striking of these are two of them, namely the Yao family and the Du family≡ since the opening of the Treasure Appreciation and Soul Recognition Conference, almost all of them have been competing for the position of leader.

The Yao family is the richest man in Nanrongdi Mansion, and he is related to the old mansion owner, so he has also received special care from Sun Fanwen.

Yao Kan, the current head of the Yao family, is a rich middle-aged man, with white and pure skin, like a girl, he sits in a corner of the outer hall with his hands in his hands, and there is a long-bearded old man with a good temperament standing beside him, this old man's name is Yao Zhenran, who has a good status in the Yao family, and has traveled to various prefectures in his early years, looking for famous teachers, and his wealth of knowledge is unparalleled.

The successive heads of the Du family have served as the chief dispatcher of the Yin Division, and this position is above 10,000 people under one person in the Yin Mansion, and the scheduling of each Yin Division is under his jurisdiction, and his status is extraordinary. In addition, the Du family has many talents and financial resources, so in the treasure appreciation and spirit conferences over the years, only the Du family is the strongest opponent of the Yao family.

Yao Zhenran has already won the position of leader for three consecutive terms, but this time the Du family invited Tang Wuyan, a well-known master, and it is bound to be a dragon fight.

Compared with the two of them, the people of other families are much inferior, and they are only regarded as foils, but when they saw Sun Shangling actually bringing Xianmen disciples to compete, they immediately laughed dumbly, thinking that Sun Shangling was crazy.

You must know that the cultivation realm and the underworld are completely different places, even if you know everything about the cultivation realm, when you come to the underworld, I am afraid that the knowledge will not even be comparable to that of a child.

It's just that at the same time, the handsomeness of the young man and the superb "beauty" of the second daughter attracted people's sideways, and they couldn't help but take a few more looks, especially the young children of each family, their eyes were all stared, and they were jealous of the young man's Yanfu to death.

The two daughters Chunlan Qiuju have their own style, Song Ying'er is gentle like water, quiet and well-behaved, Xiao Xue is as cold as frost, and her temperament is refined, which makes people sigh that there is no "color" except for the two daughters.

However, let the three of them have such outstanding temperament, but everyone is sure of one thing, that is, they don't have the strength to participate in such a competition at all, and no one knows what Sun Shangling's idea is, but no one cares much.

It didn't take long for footsteps to come from the inner hall, and Fang Ling looked inward, and saw a group of middle-aged Confucian students walking out of it surrounded by stars and moons.

Confucian Sheng wears an official hat, wears a noble official uniform, has fine workmanship, and the upper layer of fabric is obviously Sun Fan Wen, the lord of Nanrong Difu.

His square face was blazing, sharp and a little deep, and he swept everyone at a glance, and saw that there were three Xianmen disciples present for a moment, and then sat peacefully on the throne in the main hall.

Only then did the crowd enter the hall one after another, and then they retreated on both sides of the main hall, while the heads of the various families and officials sat on their chairs.

Sun Fan Wen smiled slightly, and said with a pleasant face: "Five years ago, Brother Yao won the championship, and the official still remembers his heroic appearance, but this year, Lord Du invited Brother Tang out of the mountain, it is bound to be a dragon fight, and I see that the people sent by other families are also a leader, and this year's event will definitely open the eyes of this official!"

Everyone said yes, Du Tianzhao and Yao Kan both looked bright, after all, it was also an extremely honorable thing to be praised by the lord of this mansion.

Fang Ling laughed secretly when he heard this, this Sun Fan Wen really still has a bit of official style, but this Yin Si Mansion Lord was originally the king of one party, and the territory under his jurisdiction was large, and he was in charge of the cycle of life and death of mortals.

Sun Fan Wen said to everyone again: "I have personally inspected all the spiritual objects you have sent, and their rarity is the first in the history, and I almost have no clue about several things." This year is also the old rule, in addition to the spiritual objects sent, I also asked someone to go to other prefectures to collect and borrow some rare spiritual objects. ”

Speaking of this, he smiled and said: "That's all for gossip, there are a few first-time participants this year, Master Li, you can talk about the rules of our conference." ”

A thin old man standing beside him said: "Over the years, the treasure appreciation spirit is divided into three rounds, and the one who can win the last round will be the leader, this year, the lord of the mansion has set a heavy reward, but whoever can seize the leader of this year, regardless of his status and status, will not only be allowed to enter the first floor of the mansion lord's treasury to take away the power of a spiritual object, but also, will be awarded the position of the staff of the Yin Division by the lord of the mansion!"

Fang Ling was taken aback when he heard this, he had only heard of the power to obtain spiritual objects before, but neither Zhou Tianbao nor Sun Shangling had ever said anything about this matter of being an official.

He couldn't help but look towards Sun Shangling, and this time he found that he was also surprised, not only that, but the people in the entire hall had a surprised face.

Looking at everyone's surprised expressions, Sun Fan said with a smile: "This position of conferring an official was a sudden idea of this official, because the spiritual objects I am looking for this year are indeed extraordinary, and if you have that ability, you can be worthy of the position of a staff member." Of course, if you say that you are a staff, you are actually an idle errand, but if there are any difficult things in the underworld, it is good to help with ideas. ”

Sun Fan Wen said it lightly, but the surprise in everyone's hearts was conceivable, and Fang Ling, who was born in the palace, naturally knew better that this so-called idle staff was by no means as simple as he said.
