Chapter 205: Lighting the Lamp

Zhu Pianqi thought about it carefully, and felt that Sheng Changying's words were very reasonable, Chu Dingjiang took great pains to get her, not just to kill her!

She pursed her lips slightly and smiled at Sheng Changying.

Sheng Changying's ears were hot, and he hurriedly lowered his head.

After Zhu Pianjiao left, someone came to pick up Sheng Changying to hand over the official documents, and the rest went to the lighthouse together.

The Lighting Tower is next to the Crane Bang, a very inconspicuous two-story building, and the only difference from other places is that there are more lanterns hanging in front of the door than in the side.

As everyone entered the building, someone immediately came up to check the token.

The rows of red lanterns in the hall reflected the room in a blood-red color.

Yasuhisa saw that each lantern had an overview of each mission written in fly-sized handwriting.

"You're newcomers, and there are no tasks assigned to you for the time being, so you can choose at will." The middle-aged man in the green official uniform pointed to the lanterns and introduced them in turn, "The task period of this piece is within seven days, the one over there is less than half a month, the opposite one is within one month, and the one placed on the second floor is three months to half a year, if you want to receive a task for more than half a year, you can go to the backyard." ”

The longer the time given, the more difficult the task will be. The Crane Army implements a point accumulation system, and the more difficult the task, the higher the score, of course, the more such tasks are done, the smoother the promotion.

"You can first take a rough look at the words on the lantern, weigh it yourself, and decide how easy it is, and then come and draw lots." The official pointed to several porcelain altars placed in the center of the room.

Gao Dazhuang went up to the second floor without hesitation.

The rest of the people scattered and watched from inside the house.

An Jiu understood the rules, so she went straight to the task within seven days, she didn't want to be promoted, and she took the task just to choose a place to stay for the sake of lighting the lamp, so as to find Mei Yanran.

After looking around, everyone understood the difficulty of the task.

Most people choose conservatively, except for Lou Mingyue and Qiu Yunyan, who chose a task within half a month. Everyone else, like Anjiu, chose a mission within seven days.

An Jiu looked around, these tasks are not all about killing, there are other things, such as protecting officials from traveling, finding people, finding medicine, etc., but it is not dangerous, but it is not necessarily simple, sometimes it is easier to kill a specific target than to find something that does not know where.

"Dare to ask my lord, what if the mission fails?" Sui Yunzhu asked the official.

"Continue the mission. Until it's done. Points will be deducted according to the tasks you have received. When the man saw him standing in front of the simplest altar, he said, "Every seven days, it will be deducted until the mission is over." ”

Li Qingzhi interjected, "What are the consequences of deducting points?" ”

The official replied, "I won't be guilty of this, but this kind of person will become a waste that the Crane Army can dispose of at any time, and as for how to deal with it, you will naturally understand it after you stay here for a long time." ”

Sui Yunzhu had already grabbed a wax pill from the jar. When crushed, a small note was revealed.

The official said, "Go and get the corresponding lantern to my side to record, leave your token and go." ”

Sui Yunzhu read the content on the note, and there was joy in his eyes. This is one of the tasks he wants to get, which is to find someone in Bianjing City.

Others followed one after another, and after the tasks were revealed one by one, several families were happy and some were sad.

An Jiu is the last one to draw lots. After crushing it, Sui Yunzhu came over to take a look.

Last time in the Ethereal Villa, An Jiu saved Sui Yunzhu. Since then, Sui Yunzhu has been a little closer to her.

Anjiu caught the escort job, but strangely, it only said that in three days, there would be a large wedding procession in the city passing through the royal street, and the person who drew the task would be responsible for protecting the bride.

An Jiu didn't say a word, turned around and went to get the lantern.

After receiving the task, the group returned to the empty house.

"Choose the three-in-out courtyard." Sun Dixian said, "We have just arrived, and we have been divided into a team, so we can take care of each other together. ”

Except for An Jiu, a pure external cultivator, Sun Dixian has the weakest internal strength among several people, and living in a group is the most beneficial to her, but aside from this, what she said is not unreasonable. What's more, the same advice was given by the usher at the beginning.

Lou Mingyue first hung the lantern on the side of the gate, and then the others hung it one after another.

Yasuya hesitated slightly.

Sui Yunzhu hung up the lantern, turned to look at her and said, "Mei Shishi, let's go together, if you are in trouble, it is better to have more people than one person." ”

An Jiu's purpose in coming to the Crane Control Army was very clear, that is, to find Mei Yanran, she didn't want to make any extraneous branches, so after thinking about it, she also hung the lantern by the door.

From the outside, the courtyard is very magnificent, with many rooms inside, but most of them are poorly furnished, and most of the rooms have no beds.

They all looked for a room.

An Jiu and Sui Yunzhu entered the courtyard after entering the courtyard, so they could only choose from the remaining rooms.

The rooms are all about the same, but An Jiu has taken a fancy to a room with bamboo cultivation in front of the door. There was only one table, one bed, and one stool in the house, because there was no one living in it for a long time, and a thick layer of dust fell on it, and the curtains in front of the bed were broken, and there were cobwebs everywhere.

"May XIV." Sui Yunzhu knocked on the door and leaned the broom against the door, "Use this to clean up." ”

"Thank you." Anjiu went over and took a broom, and when he glanced at it, he saw a bell falling from the ground at the door.

Sui Yunzhu followed her gaze, because the bell was outside the house, there was not much dust on it, and the patterns on it could be faintly seen by the moonlight, and the mottled and old bloodstains, "This room is unlucky, why don't you move to my room?" ”

The bell was the thing that hung on the corner of the house after the death of the people in the Crane Control Army.

Anjiu put down the broom, went out of the house to pick up the bell, and brushed the dust off it. The bell is about the size of an egg, round in shape, and has a slender bronze medal two fingers thick inside, making it look different from ordinary bells.

"It's a token!" Sui Yunzhu was surprised.

What fell inside the bell was the lighting token that the usher had distributed to them.

With An Jiu's eyesight, he had already seen it when he was on the arch bridge, but he was not surprised, but he just looked at the blood stains on the bell and said, "This person should have died when he came back." ”

As she spoke, she took out a strip of cotton cloth from her pocket to wrap her wound and hung the bell on the edge of the window.

Sui Yunzhu said, "I just inquired with Master Sheng in private, this is called the soul bell, according to what you said, this person came back from injury and finally died?" ”

He came back and hung the bell for himself. An Jiu listened to the bell that was shaken by the wind, and made a crisp sound, "It doesn't hurt to fulfill him." ”

Sui Yunzhu was silent, this was the only evidence of his existence in this world as the shadow of the Crane Control Army.

……

They went back to clean up and rested for two hours.

Before the light of day, the people set out from the mansion to carry out their tasks.

The black-clothed ghosts flashed around him, and only An Jiu walked slowly on the street.

She crumpled the note, and suddenly quickened her pace, and she didn't have to be much slower than she could run. (To be continued......)

PS: I'm really sorry, I encountered an emergency last night, and I hurriedly sent a leave note, but I put it in the draft box and didn't publish it...... No wonder some readers and friends called me today to ask why I didn't send a leave note...... Go to pieces.

In addition, An Jiu will have some accidents this trip, what do you think it will be? A. you guess, B. you guess, C. you guess
