Chapter 7 Chapter 7 Shenhou Mansion
"Okay, hurry up and give the pass to the old man, the old man and the guy in the restaurant outside the city still have three chess games to play today, the victory or defeat is related to the old man's reputation, and I don't have time to chat with you. In Zhang Chen's opinion, he thought that this old man Wu would be an extremely eccentric person, but now it seems to be approachable and very interesting.
"Yes, no problem. Close your eyes......"
Under Wu Lao's words, the two naturally closed their eyes, while Zhang Chen only felt that his whole body seemed to be covered by some kind of spatial ability, but the time was extremely short.
"Okay......"
The spatial energy that wrapped around their bodies dissipated in less than a second, and when the two of them opened their eyes again, they were no longer in the Forbidden City, but in the Hanging City at an altitude of 100,000 meters above the Forbidden City.
"What just happened? Could it be that in the blink of an eye, we have come to the Hanging City? I thought I'd walk into a spatial passage or something. Zhang Chen looked around, he seemed to be in a back garden with flourishing vegetation, 100,000 meters in the air, Zhang Chen thought that the air would be a little thin, but in fact it was the same as the ground.
"Elder Wu is a well-known master of space in the prison department, and only Elder Wu is the only one who can move more than ten kilometers in space, so if you want to enter the Hanging City first, you have to be teleported by Elder Wu himself. It seems that Wu Lao is in a good mood today, and he directly teleported us into the back garden of the Shenhou Mansion, and the front is where we live, come with me. ā
Zhang Chen followed Lian Yuxin for a short walk before he realized how big the so-called Shenhou Mansion was, and this back garden alone was like a labyrinth. It took me ten minutes to get out.
The main structure of the mansion is somewhat similar to the Zuo family's mansion where Zhang Chen once was, but the main mansion is more than twice as large as the Zuo family's mansion, and the bricks and tiles on the roof are tiles forged by glazed crystal mines, which looks extremely gorgeous and noble.
"In front of it is the main house, which covers an area of 8,100 square meters, and there are two side houses on the left and right sides of the front yard. You live in the left-hand side room, and Master is busy with business during the day, and he usually doesn't come back until a day. I'll take you to the room first, but I'll take you out and introduce you to one of the main distribution structures of the Hanging City. ā
"That's troublesome Senior Sister Yuxin."
"Don't thank me, after I came back from Changsha, I forced myself to exercise my mental strength every day without leaving home. The whole person is about to go wrong. Good thing you came this time. Otherwise, I'll have to be locked up in the house and become insane. By the way, when you go back to Tianfu City, how is Sister Liu Nuo? I haven't been in touch with her for a long time, and I don't know if the eldest sister is getting along well now. ā
Lian Yuxin's words made Zhang Chen stunned. immediately replied: "Sister Liu Nuo is still the same." It is planted in the real yĆ n room all day long. However, the whole person is very good in all aspects. said that when she was free, she would come to the imperial capital to see you when she had time. ā
"Yes."
After Lian Yuxin took Zhang Chen around the main mansion, he came to the left-sided room with a much shorter model, and the layout inside was extremely simple but elegant.
"The room was not bad, right? Before you came, it was a room in the Shenhou Mansion. It's just that there were very few people who came to the Shenhou Mansion, let alone those who came here to stay overnight, and this room was still full of dust the day before yesterday, and it was hard for you to take care of it yesterday. ā
"Thank you, senior sister, there is no need for this, I shouldn't have to stay here for long before I go to prison, right?"
"Not necessarily, there is preparation work in the early stage of heart refining. As Wu Lao said before, if there are too many distractions or other factors in your heart, you are likely to die in it. With Elder Wu's tone just now and your current state of mind, I'm afraid you'll have to stay for at least ten days first. I will talk to you about these things after Master talks to you tonight. Leave some of your temporary stuff here, and I'll take you to see the Hanging City. ā
"Oh."
Zhang Chen placed the suitcase and some toiletries in the Qiankun bag in the corresponding position in the room, and followed Lian Yuxin, who was waiting outside the door.
"Why don't you go to the gate?" Zhang Chen was a little surprised why Lian Yuxin walked towards the main mansion instead of the gate.
"Could it be that you still want to go out as an individual, have you forgotten who you are now? If you are targeted by people with bad intentions, it will be quite troublesome in the future, there is a delicate model of the Hanging City in the hall of the main mansion, and the master, as the highest authority in the intelligence headquarters, needs to use mental power to monitor the situation of the entire Hanging City on weekdays. ā
"Then, in order to reduce trouble, the Hanging City will be imprinted on this model, and as long as the spiritual power penetrates into the model, the general situation of the entire Hanging City can be monitored."
Lian Yuxin pushed open the large wooden door of the main mansion about five meters high, and in the center of its spacious hall was placed a large round table with a radius of about ten meters, which must be the model of the hanging city that Lian Yuxin said.
"This!"
The so-called model, after Zhang Chen saw it, far exceeded his expectations, the building in the model is exactly the same as the materials used in the construction of the real Hanging City, it is completely like overlooking the Hanging City from above, giving Zhang Chen a considerable visual impact.
"As you can see, the Hanging City is circular in its entirety, but it is actually made up of six plates. The location we are in now is in the southeast of this residential area of the prison chief, and the people in this vicinity basically live in the prison director who is ranked number one on the list of 100 people. ā
"Walking in a clockwise direction from here, there are the prison department residential area, the ordinary residential area, the trade area, the information area and the scientific research center. The tall tower around the center, the Outer Judgment Tower, is responsible for the management and trial of the activities of the inter-prison department on each floor. ā
"The last time there was an incident in Changsha, I was also forcibly taken to the trial area, and it all depended on the presence of the master, otherwise I don't know how much time I would have been delayed inside. By the way, and the issue of the prison envoys in Shaanxi Province that you mentioned, I am afraid that many of those involved will be sent to hell above ten floors for several months. ā
Zhang Chen was extremely shocked by the scene in front of him.
"I'm afraid this tower is more than 1,000 meters tall according to the proportions, is it all used for judgment?"
"Almost no one has been to the top floor, and I have asked Master, but he doesn't tell me. However, there is a rumor circulating in the Hanging City that there is a prison captain living at the top of the tower! ā
"Prison Captain!" The gods that Zhang Chen saw that could penetrate the heavens and the earth were only prison commanders, and there was actually a prison captain at the top of the tower.
"Actually, it's all just hearsay, and there are very few possibilities. The prison captain is actually not able to save zĆ i in the world, and when the prison envoy can reach the level of the prison captain, there is no zĆ i main soul stone in the body at that time. At that time, he was the real prison envoy, and when he came to the human world as a creature that no longer belonged to the human world, he would be greatly suppressed by the consciousness of the entire human world. You can only be in prison or in a cell. And the number of prison captains, I heard from Master, that he only knew 11 people. ā
"Yes." Zhang Chen nodded, it seems that these things are not what he can involve now.
"Crunch!" Suddenly, a loud sound of wooden door grinding came from behind the two of them, and the heavy gate of the Shenhou Mansion was pushed open by someone at this moment, and a white-bearded old man in a pale robe walked in with his head held high, and the entire Shenhou Mansion resonated slightly with this person's arrival.
"Master......" Lian Yuxin looked surprised when he turned his head, "Why did you come back so early today." ā
"There are guests in my house, so naturally I can't let the old man slack off. The old man is actually idle in the information center on weekdays, and it is better to come back early if there are guests arriving today. Whoever asked you to enter the main mansion without permission, the teacher clearly explained to you that if the teacher is no longer in the mansion on weekdays, no one is allowed to come in. ā
"That ......," Lian Yuxin wanted to explain, but in the end she only sighed, "Please punish Master." ā
"In that case, then the teacher will punish you, and you will be responsible for the wine and food served to the guests tonight. You are not allowed to hire a chef, you must be solely responsible. ā
Lian Yuxin knew that her master loved her very much, and it was nothing more than a punishment and forcing her to step up her cultivation, but today's punishment was a big surprise to Lian Yuxin.
"Okay."
"As a teacher, there is still something to talk to Zhang Chen Xiaoyou, you go out first."
After Lian Yuxin turned to leave, Shen Hou walked towards the second floor and motioned for Zhang Chen to follow.
Shen Hou walked into a medium-sized room on the second floor that resembled a practice room, and the interior floor was made of a special hard material that Zhang Chen had never seen before, somewhere between rock and metal. There is no decoration in the whole room, not even a chair for people to sit on.
"The old man's time is precious, so some words are said directly. The ghost aura contained in Xiaoyou's body is very peculiar, and it does not contain a trace of impurities. The old man has killed countless ghosts, but he has never seen such a pure ghost energy. Today, the old man needs to make a deal with Xiaoyou. ā
"God, please speak."
"Let me examine the whole process of your ghost materialization, and at the same time let me extract a certain amount of liquid ghost qi. As a reward, it is natural that you can live in the Shenhou Mansion for a long time, plus the old man will help you stabilize the negative feelings in your body in the near future. How is it? ā
How else can Zhang Chen choose, he can only nod and agree.
"Very good, you relax your mind now, let the old man's divine consciousness completely enter your body, and there must be no resistance in the slightest."
At the moment when Shen Hou's words ended, Zhang Chen stood in front of Shen Hou and suddenly had a feeling that his whole body was being peeped at, and even the division process of his own cells was all presented in the other party's mind.
"This feeling is uncomfortable, Xiaoyou just needs to hold on for a while, now show me your ability, slow down as much as possible."
Zhang Chen could only nod his head and press a special button on his watch, and a trace of pure ghost qi swam up along Zhang Chen's arm, reaching the main soul stone and slowly dipping in.
Suddenly, a large amount of liquid ghost qi overflowed from the inside of the main soul stone extremely quickly, occupying the left half of the body, and seeping out from the pores of the skin and solidifying into a thin white layer covering the left half of Zhang Chen's body, and the left half of the hair was also rapidly white.
At this time, when the gray-clouded left eye under the white mask met the Shenhou, the latter's sideburns left a trace of cold sweat...... (To be continued......)
