Chapter 204

In the Imperial City, not far from the Privy Council, there is a narrow alley that can only accommodate two people passing side by side.

Entering from here, about ten zhang walked, the road was divided into three roads, and the leading road was followed, "These three roads lead to the control of the crane prison, but sometimes you can walk and sometimes you can't." ”

So saying, he chose the right way, but did not explain the reason to the crowd.

The road was surrounded by houses, and the road was oppressive and cramped, but when you reached an arched covered bridge, the view suddenly widened.

The terrain here is very peculiar, there are no mountains and valleys, but there is a slightly raised slope, the slope is very gentle, it is difficult to find it if you do not stand on a high place and look at it.

The bulging piece is called the fish backbone in feng shui, also known as the small dragon vein.

The covered bridge seems to be at the highest point of the fish's backbone, looking at the past, the corners of the roof are flying under the snow-covered in the vast night, the carved eaves and arches, the buildings are high and low, very dense. And some of the flying corners are hung with white lanterns, some with red lanterns, and some are bells, which jingle when the wind blows, and many bells converge into a unique melody.

"You wait here, I'll go and go back." The messenger took out the letter and flew down from the bridge.

The atmosphere was suddenly much more relaxed, and Sui Yunzhu wondered, "Why are the things hanging in the corner of the house different?" ”

This is not a secret, Sheng Changying has heard a little, so he said, "After the shadow gets the task, he will light a red lantern and hang it in the corner of the house, if he returns, he will replace it with a white lantern, if the shadow dies in the line of duty, and the lamp goes out, the lantern will be taken down and hung with a bell." ”

"Listen to the sound, hundreds of bells!" Li Qingzhi sighed.

As he spoke, the envoy returned and distributed the tokens in his hand to everyone one by one, "With these tokens." You can light the lamp. ”

Sheng Changying and Zhu Pianqi did not.

The envoy said, "Later, someone will come to pick up Lord Sheng to change the official seal, and the Lord does not need to light the lamp." ”

In other words, Sheng Changying does not need to receive a task.

"As for you." The envoy looked at Zhu Pianji, "Lord Chu let you in, as long as you can stay in the octagonal tower for a day, you can stay here and wait for Lord Chu to come back." ”

"What if not?" Zhu Pianqi didn't plan to stay in this kind of place, she worked hard to make a few dollars!

"Can't?" The envoy said lightly, "There are only two paths in front of you, either pass." Either die. ”

Zhu Pianjiao gritted his teeth and secretly scolded Chu Dingjiang's ancestors for eighteen generations, but his original surname was Hua, and poor Chu surnamed Chu didn't know which ancestor was killed by the pond fish.

Walking into the building, everyone was stunned to find that this was a small town, with taverns, teahouses, restaurants, and even roadside tea stalls and storytellers!

"It's much more comfortable here than the Crane Temple!" Sun Dixian muttered.

The head of the Earth Sect, who had been silent, snorted coldly.

Everyone was secretly happy in their hearts, if it weren't for this transfer, they wouldn't have known that the head of the Dao Dao Sect had such a powerful and domineering name - tall and strong!

Although after he entered the Crane Control Academy, he announced that he would change his name to Gao Yuanxin. But later, everyone called him the head of the earth, and the name Gao Yuanxin had long since been thrown to that corner, and when he was transferred to the official document, there were three big characters "tall and strong" on it.

Destiny. Sure enough, the more unbearable the situation, the easier it is to be turned out of the more unbearable past......

Seeing that the atmosphere was delicate, Gao Yuanxin knew what these people were thinking! Suddenly even more depressed.

"This is the crane control list." The usher stopped in front of a large stone wall. "If you can be on the list, the lowest in the Crane Control Army is also a six-rank official position."

Yasuku looked over and saw that the walls were made of snow-white stone. The light can be seen, the auspicious clouds and cranes are carved around, and there is a long-bearded old man with a blurred face on the top stretches out a palm, and the palm is engraved with gossip, and the blank part in the center has rows of protrusions, and there is a jade plaque with a name written on it. And the first place is an unfamiliar name, the second place is unknown, and Gu Jinghong is ranked third.

At this time, the envoy said, "The first two on the list are already second-grade officials of the Crane Control Academy, and there is no need to light the lamp again, the third Lord Gu is actually the current top of the Crane Control List, and Lord Gu rushed to the top of the list in recent years, if it takes time, it will ,......."

An Jiu didn't listen to what he said next, his eyes kept searching in the list, and finally found Chu Dingjiang's name in the twenty-ninth position.

"Isn't Lord Chu a Shenwu commander? Why is it ranked in the thirty-ninth position but higher than Master Gu? Sun Dixian asked.

The envoy said, "Lord Chu is one of the few realm masters in the world, if he carries out the task, why worry about it?" Just like this time, if it weren't for Lord Chu's presence, how many of you would have it? I'm afraid that I will be gnawed by the Ethereal Villa, and there will not even be any bones left! Such a master naturally has more important things to do. ”

The fact is just like what the commander said, but the rules of the crane control army are based on how many points the task is, although this is the reason, but Chu Dingjiang has not done enough after all, it will inevitably make people feel that he has no force and insufficient qualifications.

There are only the top 39 on the Crane Control List.

Here the words "natural selection" are vividly expressed, if you have the strength, you will be on this list, ranking in the high-ranking officials, and if you don't have the strength, you will die and the lights will go out, only a string of bells in the corner of the house remains, and no one will even remember that there is such a person in this world.

Walking through the crane control list, the envoy took a group of people to a house, the eaves were full of bells, there was no light, but as soon as the wind passed, the crisp and pleasant bells came and went.

"There is a large courtyard with three entrances and exits here, and there are many small courtyards next to it." The envoy stood opposite the crowd and began to talk about the rules of this place, "The building next to the crane list is the Lighting Tower, you can go over with a token to receive a task, and you can choose a vacant residence at will after taking the lantern. As a reminder, you're a team, so it's best to be close to each other. ”

He paused and continued, "Because infighting is not forbidden in the Crane Control Army, but there is no life-and-death struggle!" You can take care of each other a little bit together. In addition, in addition to the tasks assigned to the head above, you can go to the lighthouse alone to receive the task, if the twelve hours are not settled, someone will take you to the life and death barrier. ”

"Feel free to pick and choose your tasks?" Qiu Yunyao asked.

"Absolutely." The messenger said, "It's just a lot." ”

He raised his voice and said, "The words have been explained to you, farewell." ”

Seeing the figure of the usher disappear into the night, Sun Dixian couldn't help but complain, "What, I have to do work just now!" ”

"Let's go, or there will be nowhere to stay." Li Qing's way.

"Which one is Zhu Pianji?" A black robe floated down not far away.

Zhu Pianqi reluctantly stood up, Sheng Changying hesitated and struggled several times in her heart, and finally opened her mouth to comfort, "Zhu Niangzi's skills are profound, Lord Chu expected that you could pass, so he would bring you in, so there is no need to worry about it."
