Chapter 3, Section 8, Two sheets
"My master is in Zhongnan Mountain, the road is far away, I'm afraid it will be inconvenient. Yijie heard Gongsun Yu say that he was going to see his master, and felt very strange. Now that the weather is freezing and the ground is freezing, it is estimated that Zhong Nanshan has also been covered by heavy snow.
"I'm referring to your master in Luoyang City. "Gongsun Yu has already seen that Yijie is actually a spirit collector, and he has not yet enlightened his mind, so he guesses that there should be a spirit collector behind him.
"I don't have a master in Luoyang City. Yijie felt inexplicable, but he suddenly remembered something. "You mean my stepfather?"
"Yes, that's him. Master and apprentice are like father and son, he is not only your master, but also your father-in-law. Gongsun Yu adjusted the wording in time, but he didn't expect Yijie to have such a close relationship with his master.
"He's your stepfather, where are your biological parents?" Shao Hui suddenly found a clue, and he put on a posture of interrogating the prisoner.
"I am an orphan, it was my father-in-law who brought me up and sent me to Zhongnan Mountain to learn art, and after I came back, I joined the 36th captain of Tiangang and became a bad person. Yuan Yijie's answer was honest and not false.
"Take us to your master. Gongsun Yu stood up, walked up to Yijie, and kicked him in the knee with his toes.
"Is it appropriate to go now?" Yijie's task is to monitor the three of them, and it is the middle of the night, in case someone else finds out, it will be a capital crime to kill the head.
"If you don't go now, when will you stay?" Gongsun Yu straightened his clothes, and his decision was unquestionable. "You don't have to worry, if something happens, I'll explain it for you. Absolutely no one else will find out!"
Hearing him say this, Yijie had no choice, so he stood up and prepared to take Gongsun Yu out.
"Let's go too. Not to be outdone, Shao Hui looked at Chengshan and said.
"You want to go too?" Gongsun Yu communicated with Chengshan in a code language, he didn't want Xingshi to move the crowd, just let him go alone with Yijie, Chengshan and Shaohui were at home to watch the house, in case someone came to them to explain.
"Let's go together, and there will be a care on the way. Chengshan said very tactfully, clearly expressed his thoughts, in fact, he also very much wanted to meet Yuan Yijie's master, and didn't want Gongsun Yu to monopolize it, although everyone should trust each other, but he always had a grudge against Gongsun Yu, if it wasn't for Shao Hui's proposal, he would have to go, he was really embarrassed to open his mouth.
Gongsun Yu frowned slightly, Shao Hui's curiosity was so heavy, if he leaked his mouth, it would cause unpredictable consequences, Chengshan had also read the wordless book of heaven and knew how powerful it was, why didn't he take the initiative to stop him and go with him?
But since Chengshan also agreed with Shao Hui's opinion, it was inconvenient for Gongsun Yu to stop him, so he paused and spoke. "You can go together, but you can't talk nonsense, and don't ask random questions, can you agree?"
"No problem. ”
Yuan Yijie felt very strange, the three of them seemed to have the final say, Shao Hui, who looked like a monk, was just a vassal, and Chengshan and Gongsun Yu could understand each other's meaning just through eye contact, and the relationship between them was indeed delicate.
The three of them changed their clothes, took off their gorgeous coats, and put on their tight-fitting ordinary clothes, and they pushed open the door and looked outside the house to see that there was no movement.
It was the dead of night, and only the snow-white moon hung in the sky.
The three of them followed Yijie to the courtyard wall of Fengchen Mansion, only to see Yijie use a big tree next to the courtyard wall to go up to the courtyard wall with the help of a big tree.
"You take him with you. Gongsun Yu hinted that Chengshan had taken Shao Hui well, and since he had agreed to Shao Hui's request, he should be responsible for him to the end, so they each used their divine power to cross the courtyard wall.
"I'll take you with me. Gongsun Yu grabbed Yijie's collar and suddenly flew up. Yijie was startled, he didn't expect Gongsun Yu to also use the spell of daytime ascension, but he quickly calmed down.
"Forward, then left. He directed the direction of the flight and crossed the Luoshui River to Beishi. In ancient times, there was a curfew at night, and now it is the third watch, and there is no one on the road, and the silence makes Shao Hui feel very uncomfortable.
"What kind of place is this? Is it a ghost town? Why is there no one?"
"Shut up. ”
Gongsun Yu did not continue to fly when they arrived here, they turned left and right, and came to the middle of an alley.
"This is it. Yijie stopped in front of a shop, Gongsun Yu looked up, and saw that the wooden plaque read the three big characters of Huirentang, and a big gourd was hanging next to the door, which was a pharmacy.
Yijie quietly walked to the right side of the door and lightly slapped it twice on the door panel, and after a few seconds, he slapped it again, which seemed to be a code.
After a while, I only heard footsteps inside.
"Who?"
"It's me. ”
I listened to the sound of moving the door bar inside, and then I saw that two door panels were removed, leaving just enough space for one person, and the four of them sewed in through this door panel in turn.
After coming in, Gongsun Yu saw clearly that the door was opened by a middle-aged man, he was not tall, dressed plainly, with a wisp of beard, and looked kind and cultivated.
Seeing Gongsun Yu and them, the middle-aged man was slightly stunned, but quickly regained his composure, and smiled at Gongsun Yu, as if he understood their intentions.
"This is not the place to talk, follow me to the back hall. With that, he picked up the oil lamp and led the four of them to the backyard.
This is a typical courtyard of the front hall and the back house, the front is the counter of the pharmacy and the doctor's office, the first courtyard is the place where the medicine is dried, the two sides are the medicinal herb warehouse, the second courtyard is the warehouse of various tools and valuable medicinal herbs, and the man's residence.
The last to enter the courtyard is the shopkeeper's room, which is flanked by the account room and the kitchen. When I came to the shopkeeper's room, the area was not large, but it was neatly cleaned and clean.
"Yijie, you are here to guard, don't let outsiders in. "The middle-aged man should be the shopkeeper and doctor of the pharmacy, and he is also Yuan Yijie's father-in-law.
"Yes. Yijie stood there in an orderly manner.
"You two come with me. The shopkeeper looked at Gongsun Yu and Chengshan, and he recognized these two spirit collectors at a glance, although one of them was a Taoist priest and the other was a scholar, but there was no way to hide their true identities.
"What about me?" Shao Hui was not to be left behind, they were all here, and he didn't want to be turned away.
"You?" the shopkeeper glanced at Shao Hui, who felt a little surprised. Just now he found that he was actually followed by a tall monk, although he had a shaved head, he had fine skin and tender flesh, and his expression was innocent, not like a monk at all.
"Who is he?" asked Gongsun Yu in a code voice.
"He's a friend of mine, so if you find it convenient, please come in too. Gongsun Yu was very sincere, because he knew that this was someone else's territory and should be respected.
"Won't he be in ashes?" The shopkeeper looked left and right, and felt that Shao Hui was an ordinary person.
"No, we're here because of him. Chengshan interjected on the side, and he also replied to the shopkeeper in code.
"Alright, then you can come along. The shopkeeper nodded, walked to the left side of the main room, and took out the key to open the door and enter.
Yijie was very surprised, he had never entered this room, how could his father-in-law bring three strangers in? But he did not raise any objection, after seeing a few people enter, he sat at the table and kept watch quietly.
After entering the side room, Shao Hui took a closer look, this is an ordinary study, the four treasures of the study, solid wood furniture, and some calligraphy and paintings, which seem to be nothing special.
The shopkeeper walked to the west wall, and he waved his hand on the snow-white wall, only to see a blue light flash, and a wooden door appeared.
"Come on. ”
All three of them are not surprised, because they have also seen places in their own world where "something is made out of nothing".
After entering, I found that there was a cave inside.
It is a single-eaves hilltop temple with a courtyard, and the courtyard has a rockery pond with lush trees and flowers. They rounded the carved cloister to the main hall, which was decorated with gold and splendor, and although it was not as luxurious as the palace, it was also delicate and elegant.
"Meet the Huiling Immortal Venerable. Chengshan and Gongsun Yu saluted the shopkeeper together.
"No courtesy, no courtesy!" the shopkeeper laughed, turned around and glanced at Shao Hui who was standing there in a daze, it seems that this guy is indeed a little weird.
"My surname is Baili, and there is a single word. I wonder what the three of them are doing?" he smiled and motioned for the three of them to sit down on the chairs on either side.
Bai Li Xuan has changed his outfit in an instant, he is wearing a light blue robe, wearing a colorful gold silk hoop, and a light blue backlight behind him, which looks full of fairy energy, and on the right side of his body, there is a colorful cloud-breaking order entangled by the glow, showing that he is a commander.
The sudden change in Baili Xuan made Shao Hui stunned, he didn't expect that a seemingly inconspicuous pharmacy shopkeeper would actually turn into a god, as if he had descended from the earth.
"What are you doing standing stupidly?" Chengshan elbowed Shao Hui.
Shao Hui shook his head and touched his bald head with his hand, a little embarrassed. He also noticed that Baili Xuan, Cheng Shan, and Gongsun Yu all had two pupils in their eyes!
"Is he the Ancient Spirit Gatherer?" Shao Hui blurted out, feeling that he had discovered an astonishing secret.
"This is Huiling Immortal Venerable, Hengji Order Lord!" Gongsun Yu hurriedly corrected. "My surname is Gongsun, and the word is Yu. Subsequently, he introduced the names of Chengshan and Shaohui.
"A few people have come here from thousands of miles away, and they have worked hard along the way. Baili Xuan politely said a few words and invited the three of them to tea.
Shao Hui looked around and felt very fresh, and suddenly thought of Yijie, although he was not a spirit collector, but he could come to such a magical place, Yijie was the righteous son of Bailixuan, but he was locked out, he couldn't help but be a little complacent. "Why don't you let Yijie in?"
The other three people all glanced at Shao Hui in unison.
"It's better for us not to let him hear what we say. Chengshan said in a secret language, and the other two also nodded in agreement, so the three of them began to remain silent, looking at each other with their eyes on each other, occasionally bowing their heads and drinking tea.
After a long while, Gongsun Yu and Chengshan got up and prepared to leave.
"Are you leaving like this?" Shao Hui was very surprised, he saw the three of them sitting there without saying a word, just drinking tea and looking at each other, feeling inexplicable. But he soon understood that they had their own way of communicating, and they just didn't want to let themselves know.
"It's time to go back. Gongsun Yu said lightly.
"Where are you from?" Bai Li Xuan asked casually, as if he had not specifically designated anyone to answer the question.
Shao Hui was very excited, he finally had a chance to speak. "We're from Fengchen Mansion. ”
"What about before that?" Bai Li Xuan seemed to be following the temptation.
"White Horse Temple. ”
"What about before this?" Bai Li Xuan was smiling, but his eyes were already shining.
"Just you talk a lot!" Chengshan slapped Shao Hui's bald head heavily, as if he wasn't joking.
