Chapter 90: The Day of Waiting

At night, the back room was silent. On the wooden frame in the corner, the tiny luminous stone emitted a faint soft light, and the light in the room was unclear. Bian Yao lay on the bed with his legs crossed, his arms resting behind his head, and his eyes staring at the roof without blinking.

As expected in the old ghost plan, he received the attention of the King of Nu and successfully became an enshriner in the palace. The things to do later are very simple, just play the role of worship, pay a little attention to the environment of the back house, and wait with peace of mind until the old ghost takes the initiative to find him. I just don't know how long I'll have to wait?"

The next morning, except for going to the "Offering Courtyard" in Qianfu to get some spiritual fruits, Bian Yao stayed in his small courtyard for three consecutive days, and did not go anywhere. For his new identity, in a short period of time, he felt a little overwhelmed, and his mind always felt a little confused.

On the morning of the fourth day, Bian Yao finally couldn't bear it anymore and decided to go out of the house to have a look. On the way to the gate of the palace, when passing by a garden, he unexpectedly met the "little dog" and was about to turn around to avoid it, but the other party also saw him at a glance.

"Kitten!" The little dog carried a wooden bucket on his shoulder, a dustpan and a broom in his hand, stared at Bian Yao in a daze, and whispered, "Are you okay?" Later, I went to the chores to look for you, and I heard that ......"

"I'm fine, I'm just being assigned somewhere else. Bian Yao's face was slightly red, and he felt a little embarrassed, so he grinned and covered up the unnaturalness on his face.

In fact, in the past few days, Bian Yao originally thought about using his new identity to do something for the little dog, such as changing him to a relatively easy errand, so that he didn't have to face those palace guards every day and be teased or scolded by them. But after thinking about it carefully, I finally gave up. Because once his true identity is revealed, even if it is only a little related, it is very likely to affect him.

"It's okay, won't we see each other often in the future?" The little dog lowered his eyes slightly, and the expression on his face suddenly became extremely sad. For him, the boy in front of him, who is only one year younger than himself, is the only good person and friend who has "sincerely" helped him.

"The place I'm staying in now needs to be kept secret, so I can't go out and walk around often, and I don't think it's going to be a chance to meet in the future. Bian Yao's expression was also a little complicated, he used an innocent person to achieve his own goals, and he couldn't help but feel guilty in his heart.

"Then take care! Thank you for helping me clean the nursing home together! I won't tell you, I have to rush to clean the nursing home. With that, the little dog turned around and hurried away.

"Good luck!" Bian Yao looked at his slightly thin back, whispered, and then shook his head suddenly, threw the negative emotions out of his mind, and quickly left the place.

Half a moment later, Bian Yao stepped on the wide road paved with marble and came to the gate of the palace, only to see a guard standing on both sides of the gate, he did not say a word, and stepped forward to step out of the palace.

Speaking of Bian Yao's becoming a palace worshipper, because of the special explanation of King Nu, few people knew about it. The two guards at the door naturally couldn't not recognize him, and they only thought that this strange young man in ordinary clothes was a new recruit from the palace at the beginning of the year.

Seeing that Bian Yao didn't stop, and didn't mean to explain, the two guards couldn't help but step in front of Bian Yao, and one of them opened his mouth and asked, "Who are you?

Seeing this scene, Bian Yao hurriedly stopped, grinned at the two guards, reached into his arms with his right hand and took out a jade plaque, flipped it out with one hand, and said, "This is given to me by the prince." ”

When they saw the jade plate in Bian Yao's hand, the pupils of the two guards shrank suddenly, and they hurriedly bent down and retreated to the sides, and they didn't dare to exhale.

After all, he is young and has a child's heart. Seeing the reaction of the two, Bian Yao curled the corners of his mouth and smiled proudly, and then put the jade plate in his arms, and stepped out of the gate of the palace, feeling very happy in his heart!

It wasn't until the footsteps faded away that the two guards looked up. Glancing at the distant back, one of them asked in a low voice, "Have you seen him?" Is there such a young offering in the mansion?

The other person thought for a moment, then shook his head and denied it, "I don't have an impression! But that jade plaque must be real! The word 'offering' on it is also very clear! Maybe it is a person who does not want his true face to be seen by others, and uses some special method to change his appearance." ”

"Even if you don't want people to see who you really are, there's no need to look like a teenager, right?" said the guard who spoke first in a strange tone.

"Don't talk about it, lest you get into trouble! There has been an order from above not to discuss anything related to the offering. The other guard spoke, looking around a little nervously.

Out of the palace, he stepped directly on Wuyi Avenue. This is the first time Bian Yao has come out of the palace after pretending to be an ordinary person on the eve of the Spring Festival, and it feels like getting out of the dangerous and dark cage, and the long-suppressed mood is suddenly relieved and released, and he is naturally full of spring breeze.

On weekdays, there are not many pedestrians on Wuyi Avenue, and in the early morning, the shadows are even more sparse. After a slight hesitation, Bian Yao went west along the riverside side of the avenue until he came to the first intersection, and then turned north.

"Gu Nan Street" is located at the southern end of the Imperial City, which is a relatively famous street in the South Outer Ring District. On the whole street, all kinds of shops are built next to each other, restaurants, inns, utensils shops, grocery stores, spirit fruit shops and spirit grass shops, snack bar stalls, shops selling all kinds of rare and exotic beasts, and even ancient gambling houses, which are very lively.

The street of Gu Nan Street has a certain slope, showing the trend of high in the east and low in the west, the road is more than ten zhang wide, and there are many tall and abnormal Xiangmeng trees growing on both sides of the road, with a lifespan of hundreds of years, and they can't hug their arms.

When it comes to going out, of course, it's not just for fun. Earlier, the night corpse had made an appointment with him to meet him in the future, and the location was the entire Gu Nan Street, the specific details were not decided. Because he didn't know when the old ghost would appear, once he successfully became a royal worshipper, he would have to go to Gu Nan Street and the nearby streets from time to time until the old ghost appeared.

Bian Yao knew that his whereabouts would inevitably be secretly monitored, but he still had to pretend that he didn't know. In order to avoid the palace being suspicious of him, he tried to make his every move seem natural.

Soon after the sun rose, the number of pedestrians on the street gradually increased. With a smile on his face, Bian Yao wandered slowly and aimlessly on the street, looking left and right from time to time. Except for restaurants and inns, in other places, he will almost always walk in to take a few looks, and have a fresh and curious look.

In this way, while walking around, I stopped occasionally to buy something to eat, and I was full of interest as I walked. He walked seven or eight streets in succession, and it was not until it was close to sunset that he slowly returned to the palace.

In the days that followed, in addition to cultivating, Bian Yao wandered around the Houfu in his spare time. After a few days, the pattern and environment of several important places in Houfu were secretly remembered by him.

The "Fengzun Palace" where the jade-faced Venerable lives is located in the north of the worship courtyard, and the walking distance is not more than half a mile; and the "Chaojun Palace" where the Nu King lives is much farther away from the worship courtyard, this hall is located on the southwest side of the Houfu, and the palace door faces north in the direction where the palace is located; as for the "Tianyuan Palace" in the southwest corner, the owner is the mysterious little prince, and there is very little information about him, and the information given to him by the night corpse only mentions: the little prince is named Dubutian, and he has been locked in the "Tianyuan Palace" by the King of Nu since he was a child.

Time flies, and before I know it, seven days have passed since Bian Yao became a royal palace. During this period, he never met with the Angry King Duxiaotian or the Jade Mask Venerable, and no one looked for him, which made him feel a little surprised, and the seemingly unrestrained freedom made him faintly feel a little uneasy.

In the afternoon of this day, Bian Yao had no intention of cultivating, and was lying on the bed thinking about whether to go out for a walk, when he suddenly heard footsteps outside the courtyard.

Bian Yao hurriedly turned over and got out of bed, walked out of the inner room quickly, came to the door of the hall and looked out, and found that the person who came was actually the Jade Face Venerable. Seeing the robe as black as the night, and the evil white face, Bian Yao always couldn't help but feel nervous in the depths of his heart.

"I haven't seen you for a few days, but can you still adapt to this kind of life?" said the Jade-faced Venerable with a smile.

"It's not bad, it's just a little boring. Your Holiness came to me, is there something to do with the juniors?" Bian Yao replied with a smile, even if he didn't like this person in his heart, he still couldn't show the slightest trace on the surface.

"It's not a big deal, the deity is here to give Ye Xiaoyou something. In order to improve Xiaoyou's cultivation speed, a few days ago, the prince specially sent someone to buy the 'Three Spice Spiritual Grass', and he just got one today, but there are about ten days left to wither. The Jade-Faced Venerable stretched out his left hand, and a spiritual grass appeared in his palm out of thin air, with a cloud of soil at the root.

Bian Yao recognized it at a glance, the iconic three leaves and three colors were the three-spiced spirit grass. In the Hengshui Mountains of Cave City, he once inadvertently got one, and as a result, he was chased off the cliff, but he was also blessed by misfortune, breaking through from a dream monk to a dream walker.

"Little friend must have heard of the efficacy and characteristics of this grass, right?" asked Venerable Jade-Faced.

Bian Yao nodded, and said with a happy face: "I've heard it a long time ago, it seems that if you put this grass within a foot of the distance in front of you, and breathe the aura emitted by this grass, one day of cultivation can be worth a month, and it will also help you break through the realm." ”

"That's good, Xiaoyou take this grass and practice it until it wilts, and try not to stop cultivating and do something else during this period, so as not to waste its spiritual effect. As he spoke, the Jade-faced Venerable raised his left hand slightly, and the spirit grass in his palm floated in front of Bian Yao.

"Thank you, Venerable!" Bian Yao raised his hands and held the spirit grass and said gratefully.

"Ye Xiaoyou should be thankful to the prince! Everything the deity has done is entrusted by him. After speaking, Venerable Jade Mask turned around and walked out of the courtyard.

Bian Yao thanked him again, held the three-spice spirit grass, and ran back to the house.

Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Bian Yao placed the Sanxiang Spirit Grass above his ankles, thinking that this King of Anger was really generous, he was treated so well! Even though he knew in his heart that Du Xiaotian was doing this completely to win people's hearts, so that he could make better use of himself, he still felt a little ashamed for a while. After all, he has no grudge against King Nu, and now that he has gained the benefits of others, he will have to calculate him in the future.

However, time is precious, and the spiritual effect of the three-spice spirit grass is constantly shortened in one breath, and I can't allow myself to be distracted and think wildly!

Breathing in the special smell emitted by the spirit grass, which was a mixture of three different flavors, Bian Yao tried hard to throw away distracting thoughts, slowly adjusted his breathing, and after a while, he entered a sleeping cultivation state.
