Chapter 256: The Scale of the Proud Immortal Residence
"Hahahaha~~~ This Li Xiaoru is too good at disguise, no wonder I can't see it at the beginning, this talent is extremely intelligent, if it weren't for another important task, he would never be committed to this, it seems that this Dong Zhuo is really ambitious."
Yuan Shao frowned secretly and asked, "Ziyuan has evidence, this Li Xiaoru has a lot of dealings with me, he really has hidden evil intentions, I am afraid that it will be unfavorable to my Yuan family, I will never spare him."
Xu You waved his hand and said with a smile, "If you want to tell the truth, you haven't had it yet, but in my opinion, this matter is not far from ten, and it should not be too public, this person is beneficial and harmless to us, and when necessary, I am afraid we will have to cooperate with him."
"What do you mean by that?" Yuan Shao asked puzzled.
"Hehehe~~~ Yuan Gong's ambition is comparable to Dong Zhuo's child, don't forget your task in Luoyang, he Dong Zhuo wants to cause trouble in the Han family, and Yuan Gong is in the arms, how can we move a stone to hit our own feet, it is better to add fuel to the fire, so that he can succeed."
Yuan Shao nodded secretly and replied, "In this way, not only can we not expose it, but we also have to help him?" βγ
"I finally understood it at the beginning~~hehehehe~~~~".
"How can I help?".
Xu You smiled slightly and said in a deep voice, "He Dong Zhuo wants to enter Luoyang to govern, let's promote this, the more chaotic the world of the Han Dynasty, the faster and easier Yuan Gong's plan will be realized, and the moment when your Yuan family rises is about to ~~~~."
At this time, the frustration on the side muttered silently, and the tension and doubts in his heart were intertwined, and a sense of foreboding came to his heart.
"Look at ~~~~ What a big faΓ§ade, Zhang Jushi~~~ This is the proud immortal residence."
Before Zhang Zhen could speak, Hao Zhao on the side had already hummed contemptuously, "If you don't know anything~~~ You don't know how to read, it's really rare and weird~~~~."
Shan Yi glanced at him, looked up at the tall mountain gate, and saw four big characters [Proud Immortal Residence] flying on a huge plaque hanging horizontally in the middle.
"Bah, bah~~~ What does the kid who came out of the ravine know, what Lao Tzu said is also seen in the big city, don't talk about it here, it's Luoyang~~~ Lao Tzu also came out on a flat trip" Shanyi glanced at Hao Zhao and shouted angrily.
"I think you came out lying down, don't take it out and talk about that little thing, if it weren't for Mr. Guan, I think you would have died several times" Hao Zhao whispered disdainfully.
Shan Yi wanted to quibble a few more words, but Liu Bei on the side smiled slightly and waved his hand, "This little brother is right, Mr. Guan sacrifices himself for others, not only you and me, but everyone in the world should be respectful, but look at this mountain gate~~~ It is indeed beyond my expectations."
"Hahahaha~~~~ Your first time here, although our Xianju is commensurate with the residence, but in terms of scale, it can be called a small city, after all, there are many people in the Xianju, if it is really the scale of a mountain residence, I am afraid that it will not be able to live~~~Hahaha~~~~~" Zhang Zhen laughed.
Bai Cang didn't say much at this time, just carefully looked at the situation near the mountain gate, he came here this time to treat the disease, and there was another reason that he didn't know very well, that is, why the owner of the Xianju invited him as a guest, he was very curious, listening to what Zhang Zhen said, his illness could not be cured in the short term, so the time here in the future may be longer, so it is better to know more.
Zhang Zhen took out a piccolo at this time, blew a few times gently, only to see a few black shadows in the mountain streams on both sides of the mountain gate, flying to the front, these people are tall and big, wearing black robes, each with a plum blossom tattooed on his chest, clasping his fists and shouting, "Welcome Zhang Jushi back, the owner of the house has known your arrival a few days ago, and is waiting inside~~~."
"Well~~~~ You can continue to patrol, I'll just take them in" Zhang Zhen nodded, and slowly walked towards the mountain with Bai Cang and the others.
Looking at the few black-clothed people who disappeared, Liu Bei said as he walked, "The Proud Immortal Residence is really a place where the dragon and the tiger are hidden, and several guards have such strength, it is really worthy of the name."
"That's right, in my opinion, the strength of several of them ~~~ is already on par with me, and I don't have the confidence to beat them" Xiang Lang, who followed behind, said with deep understanding, as soon as a few black-clothed people appeared, they immediately sensed it, and the true qi emanating from them was condensed and not released, and they could definitely be called masters in the rivers and lakes, he and Han Song had studied hard since childhood, although they were mainly books, but they had never let go of martial arts, and naturally understood how terrible their strength was.
Shan Yi smiled and said, "After all, they are one of the seven gates in the world, of course they have such strength, I don't know what level they are in the Immortal Residence?" βγ
Zhang Zhen saw him ask, and did not evade, and said directly, "Don't underestimate them~~~~ The heavy responsibility of being responsible for the safety of the mountain gate is extraordinary, so Xianju usually chooses very outstanding people to take on this important task, our Xianju is divided into black and white two guards, black clothes outside, white clothes inside, in essence, there is no up and down, and the division of grades depends on the embroidery on the chest."
"Oh~~~ I saw it, there is a plum blossom pattern on their chests, I don't know how to divide this grade? Is it by quantity? Yamata asked.
"Hehe~~~ is not the quantity, but the difference in flower species, Xianju black and white two guards are divided into four grades, each level is distinguished by different kinds of flowers, respectively, lotus, peach blossom, plum blossom, peony, Xianju people call them lotus Wei ~~~ Peach Blossom Wei ~~ Plum Blossom Wei, the highest level is called Peony Wei."
"Ah~~~ I know, the one in black is called the Black Plum Blossom Guard," Hao Zhao shouted.
"Hehehe~~~~That's right~~~ This little brother is so smart, what you saw just now is the Black Plum Blossom Guard, who is second only to the Peony Guard in the Black Guard, and among the four people just now, there is also a Black Plum Blossom Guard."
"It's really tongue-twisting, you usually call it that?" Shan Yi read it twice, frowned and said.
"I'm just referred to as Heimei Ling, I don't care what other people like to call me," Zhang Zhen replied with a slight smile.
Everyone quieted down, and they had a preliminary understanding of the strength of the proud Xianju, judging from Zhang Zhen's statement, the strength of this black plum blossom guard can be compared with Xiang Lang and others, and the black and white peony guard at a higher level is not even more terrifying, and these are just the guards of the Xianju, as for how many laymen like Zhang Zhen are, no one knows, even the number of these guards, they are not easy to ask, after all, this is related to the privacy of Xianju, and there is no fool among the people present, how can they easily ask, Even the mountain wing, which has always been very arrogant, has avoided this matter, so you can imagine it.
After a pillar of incense, everyone finally came to a cottage, saying that it was a cottage, but this village was built on the mountain, surrounded by huge stone walls, and the black-clothed guards on the head of the city stood solemnly, and there was no difference between this and a city.
"Please ~~~" Zhang Zhan stretched out his hand and pointed to the gate, the gate of the cottage was wide open, just like the city of the Han Dynasty, there was an endless stream of people coming and going, which was even mixed with some merchants and travelers, who were not people who had lived here for a long time at a glance, and everyone walked all the way, and they didn't see a few people along the way, which couldn't help but make everyone curious.
"Hehe, don't be surprised, there is more than one road to Xianju, I will take you on the most remote road, generally only our own people will enter and exit" Zhang Zhen saw everyone's thoughts, and explained with a smile.
Everyone was relieved, originally~~~ Such a big cottage, how could there be only one road, just like an ordinary town, extending in all directions is the most basic, I am afraid that there is more than one secret road in the immortal residence.
Under the leadership of Zhang Zhen, the crowd slowly entered the city with the flow of people, the street is wide and flat, the road is paved with huge green bricks, more exquisite than the general town, the flow of people is surging, the traffic is busy, and the stream is endless.
Bai Cang only sighed at this time, "It's not much more than Jinyang, it's really prosperous here, I thought it should be as simple as a small residence in the mountains, but I didn't expect it to be just such a scene."
"Do you remember anything?" Yamata asked nervously.
"No~~~ Jinyang is also the largest city I have ever been to, I still have some experience of this, it seems that the seven gates of the world are really not ordinary."
Zhang Zhen sighed and laughed, "I'm really tired of the name of the Seven Gates~~~ I have been living here since I was born, and it has been more than sixty years now, but this kind of scene has only gradually formed in the past 20 years, and it was actually just an ordinary sect before, and I don't know when the number of people who came and went here began to increase, and we lay people couldn't bear to close the door to thank customers, so we gradually had such a scene, and I don't know whether it was good or bad."
Everyone looked sideways, Zhang Zhen looked like a middle-aged man, but he didn't expect that he was over sixty years old, especially Shan Yi, and peeked at it twice to distinguish the real from the fake.
"I don't think it's a bad thing, the Han world is now in turmoil, and it is rare for the people to have such a place to live, so they will move their families to it, which is also the prestige of the immortal residence, and the proud people are so humble about the world, in addition to respect, I am admired" Liu Bei looked at the flow of people around him, looking at the smiles on their faces and the color of hurried labor, he couldn't help but empathize, such a place, how many more can there be among the Han now? Every single one of them is precious.
Everyone fell silent, thinking back to Liu Bei's words, each with their own ideas.
Bai Cang walked ahead, and suddenly whispered unconsciously, "I will call more and more places like this, and I will make the whole world become such a place~~~~~."
The others didn't know if they heard it, but Liu Bei on the side was shocked, the corners of his eyes unconsciously swept towards Bai Cang, and the same feeling surged in his heart, his eyes turned, and he didn't respond, but he just forced his mood to continue to hurry.
Walking in the city is no different from other towns, everyone is also leading the horse to walk, although each has their own hearts, but under the leadership of Zhang Zhen, more and more towards the city, after walking a few streets, the endless flow of people gradually sparse down, everyone gradually came to a large area of residence.
At this moment, suddenly there was an excited shout from the front, "Ah~~~~~Why are you here too~~~~ It's been a long time since I've seen ~~~~".
As he spoke, a young scribe appeared in front of Bai Cang, looked at him with a smile, and greeted him like an old friend.
