Chapter 61: Identity Tags
Just as the white-shirted young man was stunned when he heard this, a guard came to them and said expressionlessly, "Two, please show your identity jade plate." ”
The man in the golden brocade shirt stopped to explain, and when he turned around, the two of them looked at the guard, only to see that he was more than eight feet tall, dressed in gray cloth armor, leather elbow pads and knee pads, and a cast iron long sword at his waist.
Originally, the young man who did not fully believe in what his partner said, because of the man in front of him, believed most of them, after all, ordinary merchants, how could they invite such guards.
Just when he was thinking, the partner beside him had stretched out his hand and handed a jade plaque to the person in front of him, only to see a fierce tiger with fangs standing on the cliff on top of the jade plaque, it opened its bloody mouth as if it was about to pounce down, majestic, a pair of tiger eyes glared angrily, and vaguely the depths of the pupils and between the minions seemed to be flooded with bursts of red light, which was breathtaking.
The guard didn't go to pick up the jade card, but lowered his head, stared at the object in his hand for a moment, and then his eyes suddenly widened, looking at the young man who was not too old in this grade, and looked like he was in his early twenties, and hurriedly bowed slightly and said, "There was a lot of offense just now, please go inside." Then he stepped aside and added, "After you go in, there will be a waiter to guide you, follow her, and she will introduce you." ”
After speaking, he turned around, whispered a few words to the waiter behind him, turned around again, and was about to speak, when he saw another person standing side by side with him, he smiled and said with some apologies, "Is this your friend?" ”
After hearing this, the white-shirted young man looked at his partner beside him, then turned his eyes to the guard, spread out the palm holding the jade plate, and the crystal clear jade card was revealed.
"Yes, okay. You go inside, please. "Unlike before, there was no bowing, no other superfluous words, just letting it pass.
The young man in the white shirt didn't speak, just stood there, as if he was still waiting for the next word, but did he hear the next word, but the partner next to him said, "Let's go." The young man nodded, and followed him through the guards, stepping over the threshold and into the screen.
......
As soon as I stepped into the screen, a faint fragrance accompanied by the melodious sound of drums came to my ears, and I followed the sound through several guarded inner doors, and what greeted me was a three- or four-zhang square, wooden stage, on which a woman dressed in a pothos dress and a light veil was sitting on a soft cushion caressing the strings and singing ancient songs.
Around the stage, there are densely packed tables of eight immortals and Taishi chairs, and the crowd of people in gorgeous costumes leaning on their respective positions, eating snacks and tea on the table while enjoying the music.
The sound of the piano is elegant and long, the tune is tactful and listening, and the piano chant is staggered and smooth, complementing each other, and after a long time, the sound of the song is finished, and there are bursts of cheers and applause from the audience.
Around the lobby, all kinds of relief beasts climb and hover on the corridor columns, connect the hollow carvings and hang down, the antique railings are antique, depicting birds and animals, flowers, birds, fish and insects, the palace lights of the beautiful mountains and rivers are dazzling and flickering, the maid walks through it, the fragrance fills the air, the room reveals a warm and ambiguous halo, and the sound of pushing the cup and changing the lamp is endless.
Looking further up, you can only see a dim white bird dome, separating the lobby on the first floor from the venue on the second floor, making it difficult to know what it is.
The passage connecting the first and second floors is guarded by two guards, the difference is that they are no longer wearing ordinary gray cloth armor, but silver helmets and silver armor and bright silver spears, at first glance they look like white dragons going out to sea, so imposing.
At this time, the man in the golden brocade was standing by the screen with his hands behind his back, enjoying the performance on the stage with an intoxicated face, while the young man in white shirt was looking around at these things that he had never touched, his heart was full of surprise, and he felt more and more that this trip was the right choice.
has been staying in the family to cultivate, although his magic attainments have made great progress, but the actual combat experience and experience are too scarce, which is why this time, the family elders decided to send him to follow the second son of the Shijiao Kun family to go out to practice, and he didn't pay much attention to it before, but with the experience along the way, it seems to gradually understand, maybe as they said, a mage only knows how to cultivate but does not enter the world, embarrassed and useful.
"The two of them are Lord Kunpeng and Lord Gu Haotian. Just as the two of them were intoxicated with the vision, a crisp and soft voice pulled their thoughts back, this is a beautiful woman of seventeen or eight, embroidered with unknown flowers in a pure white bandeau dress, draped in a water blue light gauze, eyebrows and bangs, sideburns hanging down to wrap the cheeks, a green silk is tied by tassels from both sides of the chest, the big eyes of the water spirit blink, flashing with brilliance, as if they can speak, looking well-behaved and lovely.
The woman then said, "I am the maid of the two adults in charge of the reception, and the adults can call me Tang'er." After speaking, he put his hands on his waist and bowed.
"Then there's Miss Rautanger. Kunpeng replied with a smile.
"Your Excellency is polite, this is Tang'er's business, and I should do my best, but I don't know which adult is holding a card. The maid named Tang'er showed a sweet smile and asked.
Kunpeng was not surprised, but took out the jade plaque engraved with a tiger from the orange belt around his waist, and the woman saw that the other party took out the tiger plaque, the corners of her mouth lifted lightly, nodded her head, and turned to look at the other young man.
Gu Haotian saw the woman looking at him, and quickly showed the jade card he was holding tightly, and the woman stretched out her slender hand to take the jade card, threw it into the pink silk bag with gold wire embroidered with auspicious cloud patterns pinned to her waist, and took out a piece of gold leaf that was only half the size of it, and then tied the braided rope at the mouth of the bag.
She held the gold leaf in her left hand, and in her right hand she was already holding a compass-like vessel, and placed the gold leaf on top of the vessel, and made a few gestures on it.
A faint halo of light slowly enveloped the gold leaf, and slowly faded as the finger gesture stopped, until it disappeared.
Seeing that she had completed the input, the woman put away the compass utensils, smiled lightly, and respectfully handed the gold leaf to Gu Haotian with both hands.
Gu Haotian took the gold leaf and kept fiddling with it, but except for the three big characters "Manchun Pavilion" faintly seen under the reflection of the light, he didn't find anything, as if it was just ordinary gold leaf, and it was no different.
Looking at the young man's face of curiosity and doubt, Tang Er also patiently explained, "The identity jade plate of our Manchun Pavilion is divided into six grades, namely the Sky Breaking Mouse, the Jade Rabbit, the Heavenly Horse, the Fierce Tiger, the Ink Qilin and the Candle Dragon. The three jade plaques of horses, rabbits and rats are distributed in the market by special personnel in the cabinet every year, and the other three are distributed to each force with a fixed quota or determined by auction. ”
Speaking of this, the maid named Tang Er glanced at Kun Peng and continued: "The tiger card in the hands of this lord just now was assigned to the major organizational forces, and it was assigned to the important children of the clan, the clan protectors, and the fighters. The Tianma Jade Plate in Lord Gu Gu's hand will flow into the entire Shenzhou Continent along with the other two species, the difference is that this piece of this pavilion in your hand is sold for ten gold, which is limited to those who can control magic and body refining and those in charge of the town, of course, it will definitely be transferred to you at a price of several times or even more than ten times. ”
"Then what about the rest, why are there so many requests?" Gu Haotian couldn't help but interrupt, and then added, "And... Don't call us any adults, it's awkward, just call me Brother Gu, and so is him. After speaking, he pointed to Kunpeng beside him.
"Then Tang Er doesn't dare, I'll call the two sons. Childe doesn't have to worry, I'll explain them to you one by one, let's talk as we go. Tang Er hesitated for a moment and replied with a light smile.
Then he turned around, took light steps, and led the two of them towards the corridor where the palace lanterns were hung...
