Chapter 66: Childe's Mansion
Xu Fu's eldest apprentice, Changqing, said: "The day before yesterday, Beichen Lao'er suddenly returned to Xianyang, and then asked for an order to come here to supervise the creation of the Immortal Pill. Who knew that when he entered the Dan room, he found that the Qiankun quenching furnace was cracked, so he said that the master deliberately destroyed His Majesty's immortal magic weapon, with ill intentions and intentions to rebel. Then, he took the master into the palace. ”
"And then? Is there any news coming out of the palace? Turning off the lights and asking Changqing, "Has your master been questioned?" ”
Changqing hurriedly replied: "The disciple went to the palace yesterday and today, and found a few familiar chamberlains to inquire about the news. But according to them, His Majesty does not seem to have condemned him, but only put the master under house arrest in the palace. ”
The head of the lights-out road was slightly surprised when he heard this, and said to himself: "Xu Fu provoked such a big Louzi, the emperor didn't have Long Yan angry and cut him down on the spot?" This is a bit of a surprise. ”
Zhao Liang also nodded: "No matter how you look at it, this seems to be a premeditated trap, the purpose is to lure Xu Fu to destroy the divine furnace so that the emperor can execute him." Maybe the emperor also saw the clue, so he didn't condemn him? ”
"No, no, Immortal, it's not like that." Changqing said: "I heard from the chamberlain, after His Majesty learned about this, he was furious on the spot, and he was about to immediately divide the body of the master to the five horses. But later, I didn't know what Master said a few words, so His Majesty suddenly put away his temper and changed to something like 'wait and see'. ”
Zhao Liangqi said: "There is such a thing? What are the words that can make the angry Qin Shi Huang lose his temper? I really want to know. ”
The head of the lights out road scratched his head: "Xiaodao is also curious." But the fairy chief doesn't know, my junior brother has been eccentric since he was a child, and he has a lot of ghost ideas, maybe he really came up with some tricks. ”
Zhao Liang was even more interested when he said this: "Absolutely, a bull like Xu Fu is naturally not an ordinary person, otherwise he can't fool Qin Shi Huang to let him ...... east."
"East what?" The lights out chief asked curiously.
"East ...... Move that baby stove, hehehe. Zhao Liang almost leaked the matter of "Xu Fu Dongdu", and was so frightened that he quickly changed the topic: "Now that Xu Fu is trapped in the palace, life and death are uncertain, how to rescue him next?" ”
The Lights Out Daoist is an expert in subduing demons and catching ghosts, but he has no clue at all about this kind of power and trickery, so he quickly got up and arched his hand: "I was about to ask the Immortal Chief." ”
Zhao Liang pondered for a moment and said, "Since Xu Fu is trapped because of the Qiankun Quenching Gold Furnace, then this matter has to start from here." Little Brother Evergreen, is there any way you can get in touch with your master, if you can let me and your master meet him, it would be even better. ”
Changqing thought about it seriously when he heard this, and replied: "There is an inner servant who once came to us because his old father was suffering from a strange illness, and the master personally took action to pull the old man back from the ghost gate, so he has always wanted to find an opportunity to repay his kindness." If he wants to bring the two of you into the palace, he probably doesn't have the guts, but if he sends a message back and forth, it shouldn't be a problem. ”
Zhao Liang nodded: "As long as you can contact Xu Fu, it's better than having a black eye now." Then you should hurry up now, try to tell your master, and say that the master is here, and let him tell us what happened in the palace, especially what he told the emperor, which is very important. ”
Changqing agreed, turned around and left quickly. After Zhao Liang waited for him to leave, he gave the lights out a look and motioned for him to spend all the disciples. Turning off the lights and comprehending, he ordered everyone to disperse, and then quietly asked Zhao Liang: "Immortal Chief, what are your orders?" ”
Zhao Liang smiled helplessly: "Okay, the children are gone, you don't have to speak so quietly." He paused, and then asked, "Xu Fu's matter will be put aside for the time being, and we will wait for the news from the palace to come back." Now there's another one that you need to tell me more about. ”
Lights out and said in surprise: "Another one? What do you mean? ”
Zhao Liang glanced at him angrily: "Tsk, demon star, big brother!" Aren't we going to catch that demon star? ”
"Oh, yes, yes, Xiaodao almost forgot." Turning off the lights and suddenly said, "Immortal Chief, how do you say we can catch it?" ”
Zhao Liang was almost angry with him: "You ask me, who do I ask?" Didn't you catch it? ”
Turning off the light smiled embarrassedly and said, "Yes, yes, yes, I caught it." Xiao Dao only dared not make an axe in front of the immortal chief, so he opened his mouth to ask for advice. If the Immortal Chief asked Xiaodao to do it, it would be easy. As he spoke, he took out a small compass from his bosom and held it in his hand and fiddled with it.
I saw that the small needle in the middle of the compass first trembled for a while, and then gradually stabilized after a while, and finally the tip of the needle pointed to the northwest and did not move.
He turned off the lights and closed his eyes, pinched the trick in his hand, chanted a mantra in his mouth, and muttered for a long time before he opened his eyes, and said to Zhao Liang: "That's the direction, within five miles, there will be demons." ”
I'm Nima, is this the "Traverser Locator Seeker"? Zhao Liang couldn't help but feel excited in his heart: If this can really be fulfilled, then Professor Luo of the Academy of Sciences can roll Lao Tzu! Any doctorate is not as good as the old way!
He stood up excitedly and said to the lights out chief and Xiao Hei: "It's true or not, just go and see!" ”
The three of them left Xu Fu's Taoist temple and headed straight to the northwest. This is in Xianyang City, not as good as the suburban wilderness, and it is impossible to run in one direction unimpeded. Therefore, Zhao Liang and the others could only keep an eye on the compass while beating around the corners, going around the vertical streets and courtyards, and slowly searching and advancing.
After walking for less than half an hour, the lights-out road chief, who had been holding the compass, suddenly stopped, pointed to the side and said, "This is it." I just deliberately went back and forth twice, and the demonic spirit came from here. ”
Zhao Liang and Xiao Hei both looked up at the high wall in front of them, and then looked to the left and right, Xiao Hei couldn't help but say, "I'm obedient, I'm afraid this house is bigger than Lijia Village, right?" ”
Zhao Liang also said: "With this scale and momentum, it is not the princes and nobles who live inside, but also the important ministers and generals." Dao Chief, you're not mistaken, are you? ”
"It's not wrong, it must be inside." Lights out said firmly.
Zhao Liang looked around again: "This should be the back wall of the house, let's go around to the front now and see whose house it is." ”
With that, the three of them walked briskly and walked along the base of the wall all the way to the street. When I arrived at the main entrance, I found that the front of the house was more imposing than the back wall. Zhao Liang raised his eyes and looked at the tall and wide door, and found that he actually recognized the words on the plaque - Gongzi's Mansion.
Of course, it's also because these words are too simple, otherwise he would still be blind.
"Huh? It's a prince living here, no wonder it's so magnificent. Xiao Hei muttered, "I just don't know which one?" ”
At this time, an old man who was doing business behind them said, "Oh, this is the mansion of His Majesty's eighteenth son, Gongzi Hu Hai. ”
Zhao Liang's heart moved: Hu Hai? Isn't that Qin II? It turns out that this is his house. According to the information, the missing agent was on a flesh-piercing mission before, so he definitely couldn't get on Hu Hai's body, and most likely used a fabricated fake identity to hide here.
Thinking of this, Zhao Liang whispered: "It would be nice if there was any way to sneak into the Gongzi's Mansion, otherwise it would be useless to stay outside all the time." ”
Extinguishing the lights and sighing: "If it is easy for an ordinary rich and noble family to do it, Xiaodao came directly to the door and said that there are demons and evil in his family, and he can often get the cooperation of the master, at least he will lead me around to check it." But in a place like Childe's Mansion, I'm afraid I can't even see the person in charge. And even if there are really demons and evil spirits, they can invite a large number of Fang Shi to come here to subdue the demons, and they don't have to pay attention to me at all. ”
"And what if you sneak in in the middle of the night to find it?" The suggestion of the small black urn sound urn gas.
"Who would do that unless they don't want to live?" Zhao Liang patted the back of Xiao Hei's head: "If the demon star is not found, it must be slaughtered as an assassin first." ”
Lights Out muttered: "It's not completely impossible. If you use the technique of transmitting sound for thousands of miles and recite a spell outside the Prince's Mansion, you can also force the demon star to appear. ”
Zhao Liang was happy when he heard this: "Such a god? Then hurry up. ”
"But Xiaodao won't." The lights out road chief spread his hands with a sad face.
"You won't be!" Zhao Liang said angrily: "Don't look at me, it's a coincidence, I won't either." ”
The three of them were at a loss to discuss countermeasures, when the small compass of the lights out road chief suddenly shook, especially the small needles on the disk, which swayed violently as if they were about to jump out.
At this moment, the door of Gongzi Huhai's mansion suddenly opened, and a team of cavalry opened the way, escorting a horse and light carriage galloping out of it.
The small needle of the compass instantly froze, standing straight and motionless towards the team of carriages and horses, and Zhao Liang and the three of them exclaimed at the same time: "My God, it's there!" ”
Before they could react, the team of horses had already whizzed past the three of them, galloping straight to the end of the street.
Zhao Liang shouted lightly: "Chase quickly!" He was the first to throw off his steps and rush up, and the lights out chief and Xiao Hei also followed closely behind him, ignoring the surprised eyes of the crowd around him, and ran wildly.
"Did you see it clearly? Which one exactly? Zhao Liang took the tea offered by the Taoist boy and asked the Taoist who turned off the lights: "The signal of the compass is so strong, it is right to protect the pair of people." ”
Turning off the lights, he shook his head bitterly and replied: "No, firstly, those guys are running too fast, and secondly, the Gongzi's Mansion is very close to the palace, and before they have time to see clearly, they entered the palace gate, and they have no chance to distinguish at all." ”
Xiao Hei also sighed: "Originally, I thought that the Gongzi Mansion was big enough, but I didn't expect to run into the palace again, isn't it even bigger now." ”
"Don't be discouraged, I think they'll come out again. As long as we guard the only way between the Gongzi's Mansion and the Imperial Palace, there will always be a chance to catch that guy. Zhao Liang comforted them and said: "When I was in the heavenly realm before, I once learned a method called 'stalking and squatting', and most of the suspects couldn't escape the police who were patiently waiting. ”
The head of the lights out road was a little unclear: "Uh...... Immortal Chief, what is a suspect? What do the police do? ”
Zhao Liang smiled maliciously: "Hey, you don't understand." When I have the opportunity to take you to the celestial realm in the future, I will naturally understand. ”
As soon as the lights out Dao Chang heard the words "go to the heavenly realm", he was about to speak, when he saw Changqing hurriedly coming in from outside: "Uncle Shi, my master has news." ”
Zhao Liang was overjoyed: "Huh? So fast, what's the news? ”
Changqing presented him with a small roll of bamboo slips in both hands and said, "This was written by the master, and the little chamberlain gave it out with his life." ”
When Zhao Liang saw this thing, he immediately smiled awkwardly and motioned for Xiao Hei to take it quickly. Xiao Hei knew that Zhao Shenxian didn't know the vulgar words of the mortal world, so he hurriedly opened it, and the lights out Taoist also brought his long face over, and read with Xiao Hei: "Senior brother, help." Younger brother, I told Your Majesty that my brother is a flying immortal outside the sky, and he will arrive in Xianyang in the near future to offer the art of immortality, and I hope that my brother will come to the palace soon. ”
After listening to Zhao Liang's admiration, he threw himself to the ground: It is worthy of a big fool!
