Chapter Seventy-Two: Shangguan Ya
After Han Yongfeng received Qi Xuansu's news, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Qi Xuansu left him here in Lion City before, which was equivalent to leaving a back hand, and he was inevitably worried. Now that Qi Xuansu took the initiative to contact him and asked him to return to Thang Long Mansion, it means that the situation is generally stable, and the two sides still have to continue fighting, but it should be within the framework, and it will not be too out of place until the last moment.
As for Shangguan Ya, Han Yongfeng didn't think it was so strange, because there were also people from the Shangguan family inside the Daomen, who were the descendants of the first generation of earth masters after Xuansheng rebuilt the Daomen, so Han Yongfeng didn't think much about it, he just thought about it as a person in the Daomen.
It just so happened that the Shangguan family was also a person from the Quanzhen Dao, and Han Yongfeng took it for granted that this Shangguan Ya was a member of the Shangguan family, and he was also a reinforcement sent by the Quanzhen Dao.
As for why Shangguan Ya didn't go directly to Shenglong Mansion, but wanted to go around from Lion City, naturally there was a meaning to avoid people's ears and eyes.
In short, this is the second seat's order, and Han Yongfeng naturally has to strictly implement it.
Han Yongfeng did not live in the Nanting Metropolitan Mansion, but lived in the Taiping Inn in the Lion City. In all fairness, Han Yongfeng's life during this period was not boring, after all, Lion City is a port city with thriving trade, known as the most prosperous place in the South Seas, and even better than Thang Long Mansion. Here, there are seafarer merchants from all over the world, with different skin colors, different hair colors, different languages, different looks, and naturally different goods.
[In view of the general environment,
When Han Yongfeng is bored, he likes to visit this kind of market full of exotic customs, decorated with all kinds of flowers, in addition to all kinds of goods, you can also see some beautiful women of different races, even if you don't do anything, it is good to the eye.
After receiving Qi Xuansu's order, Han Yongfeng continued to do so every day and did not deliberately look for it, because Qi Xuansu said that it was Shangguan Ya who came to find him.
Because Han Yongfeng has an official identity and does not hide it, it is not difficult to find him.
In the evening, the men of the Taiping Inn came to report that a guest with the surname Shangguan wanted to see him.
Han Yongfeng knew that this was the person who had been assigned by the second seat, so he immediately asked the guy to invite someone over.
Soon, a woman with a large hat walked in.
The hood hung with a thick black veil, which could not only isolate the line of sight, but also block the detection of means such as divine thoughts, which could be regarded as completely obscuring the face.
Han Yongfeng stood up and greeted him: "Shangguan Daoyou, I have been waiting for a long time after receiving the order from the second seat."
The woman lifted the black veil on her hat, revealing a beautiful face, looking about thirty to forty years old, expressionless, cold, and like Qi Niang, she also wore a pair of glasses, but not Qi Niang's sunglasses, but transparent glass lenses. According to the reason, people who have a realm of cultivation in the body will not be presbyopia, and there is no need to wear glasses.
The fly in the ointment is that only half of the woman's face is good, and the other half of her face has suffered some degree of corrosive damage, full of scars, very hideous and terrifying, lips and nose are even difficult to distinguish, only the ears and eyes of this half of the face are still intact. However, if you look closely, you will see that this eye is not an extraordinary fetal eye, but a prosthetic eye.
Han Yongfeng saw the honor of the woman, he was not afraid of the person who had been on the battlefield, but he was a little surprised, because skin regeneration is not a difficult task, generally speaking, no matter how many injuries a person in the Dao Sect receives, he will not get scars all over his body.
woman
seemed to see Han Yongfeng's doubts, and took the initiative to explain: "I am Shangguan Ya, my face has suffered irreversible permanent damage due to the creation engineering experiment, and it is difficult to recover unless it is reborn or a different face. I'm sorry if it scares you or makes you feel uncomfortable."
Han Yongfeng hurriedly said: "Shangguan Daoyou's words are serious, there is no such thing, I'm just a little surprised, and I'm also very sad about Shangguan Daoyou's experience."
At the same time, Han Yongfeng secretly thought in his heart, the creation engineering test, that is, transformation
The people of the Shengtang have long heard that the Huashengtang often engages in some strange things, and it is not uncommon for people to die. But then again, doesn't that mean that those tests that were too dangerous have been stopped? It seems that it is just talking on the surface, but in private it is still going its own way.
He thought about it for a moment, anyway, I'm not from the Avatar Hall, what are you doing with all these idle thoughts?
Shangguan Ya's revealing her true face was more like a way to show her sincerity, and after expressing her sincerity, she put down the black veil of her hat again: "I am ordered by the above to go to Thang Long Mansion to meet Qi Cixi, obey Qi Cixi's dispatch, and please lead the way."
Han Yongfeng asked, "Leave now?"
While speaking, Han Yongfeng was also secretly looking at this Shangguan Daoyou, he found that he couldn't see through the depth of Shangguan Ya, you must know that he was already in the Nine-Story Building of the Restoration Stage, and there was only one step left before the Celestials, if the other party was in the Celestial and Celestial Freedom Stage, then at most he couldn't beat it, and there was no reason for him to not see the depths clearly.
Could it be that this Shangguan Daoist is actually a celestial in the immeasurable stage?
Obediently, this is amazing, even if it is placed in the Transformation Hall, it is also a figure at the level of the deputy hall master, and it is really a big face to let such a character obey the dispatch.
In fact, although Shangguan Ya is not the deputy hall master of the Transformation Hall, she is not too inferior, because she is the deputy leader of the Eight Heavenly Sects, that is, the deputy of Qi Niang, and her status is very high. Generally, when Qi Niang is not there, Shangguan Ya is responsible for presiding over the daily affairs of the heavens, if it weren't for Qi Niang's realm cultivation is too high and her status is too special, with Qi Niang's style of fishing for three days and drying nets for two days, she would have been seized by Shangguan Ya long ago.
In addition, Han Yongfeng did not guess wrong, Shangguan Ya is indeed a descendant of the Shangguan family. This is not surprising, the members of the Eight Divisions were originally from the Daomen, and when the Xuansheng abolished the creation project, they left the Daomen because of the disagreement with the concept. And the first generation of earth masters after Xuansheng rebuilt the Dao Gate was the person in charge of the creation project, or the previous generations of earth masters were the ones in charge of creation, so it is not uncommon for the descendants of the first generation of earth masters to be members of the Eight Divisions.
The name "Eight Divisions" does not come from Buddhism, but originates from the Eight Divisions Project that created the "Emperor Shakti", which is the predecessor of the creation project, which greatly indicates that they are orthodox.
Although Qi Niang bargained and seemed to be very reluctant, in fact she was still very sincere, except that she came over in person, this was already the best way to deal with it.
Shangguan Ya said succinctly: "If you are late, you will change."
Han Yongfeng said, "Okay."
The two left the Taiping Inn and went straight to the port outside the city.
Because Qi Xuansu left Lion City and returned to Shenglong Mansion on the "Ying Dragon", his flying boat was still moored here, which was left to Han Yongfeng, and once something happened, let Han Yongfeng take his flying boat to find Zhang Yuelu.
There are some spirit officers left on the flying boat, who are responsible for the normal operation of the flying boat.
The port is also garrisoned by men in black
It belongs to the Nanting Metropolitan Protectorate.
These people all knew Han Yongfeng, Han Yongfeng led the way, and no one asked about Shangguan Ya's identity, so they got on the flying boat and set sail directly at night.
From Lion City to Thang Long Mansion, walking in a straight line, in fact, it is not too far, and the flying boat of Daomen is even more unimpeded, and there is no problem with the borders of various countries.
Shangguan Ya looked around in the cabin, it was not that she had never taken a flying boat, but this kind of flying boat for the master, chief, and second level was the first time she had taken it. Most of the rooms are opened, unnecessary structures are removed, and they become living rooms, bedrooms, study rooms, Dan rooms, etc., with exquisite decoration, luxurious furnishings, and laying formations, almost like a mansion in the air. It can be used by these high-level Daomen to cultivate or handle official business during their travels.
You can reach your destination with your eyes closed and take a nap, and there is too much difference between flying to your destination by yourself.
Ordinary celestials fly on their own, not to mention how much consumption, not to mention the wind and food, and the degree of comfort, there is a world of difference.
This kind of enjoyment can't be bought with any amount of peace.
It's no wonder that so many people want to be promoted within the Daomen and climb to higher positions.
Thinking of this, Shangguan Ya couldn't help but sigh secretly.
The second deputy lord who is less than thirty years old really has a promising future.
Soon, the flying boat has entered the border of the Great Yu Kingdom, these small countries of Borneo cannot be compared with the Central Plains Celestial Empire after all, the territory is small, not long after crossing the border, the capital is already in sight.
However, because Qi Xuansu declared martial law, there were "Zijiao" patrols in Thang Long Mansion as usual, and after discovering that this "white carp" was approaching, they immediately stopped and investigated.
Shangguan Ya stayed in the cabin and did not show up, Han Yongfeng came forward to negotiate, and the spirit officials recognized him as one of the two principals who followed Qi Xuansu to Borneo, and also recognized that this was Qi Xuansu's flying boat, Han Yongfeng took Qi Xuansu's flying boat back to Shenglong Mansion, which was reasonable, so he did not stop too much and chose to let go.
The flying boat entered the Thang Long Mansion and did not land at Guijian Lake, but directly landed in the Water Palace - this is also the natural advantage of the Water Palace, and the Fire Palace does not have this condition, unless it is necessary to sail on dry land.
There is rain in Thang Long Province today, and the rain is not small.
Qi Xuansu personally waited in the rain without an umbrella.
Han Yongfeng was the first to get off the flying boat and saluted Qi Xuansu from afar: "Second seat!"
Qi Xuansu raised his hand to signal that he didn't need to be polite: "Shangguan Daoyou has also arrived?"
"Here we are." Han Yongfeng replied loudly.
Qi Xuansu nodded slightly.
It was only at this time that Shangguan Ya emerged from the cabin and walked down the gangway unhurriedly.
There is no need for Qi Xuansu to order, there are already people next to him who have held up a big umbrella for Shangguan Ya to shelter from the wind and rain. Regardless of whether Shangguan Ya needs it or not, at least the face work has been done.
In the face of Qi Xuansu's posture of a corporal like Lixian, Shangguan Ya is not disgusted, everyone is a layman, regardless of whether it is true or not, it is better to have a posture than not to have a posture, it is better to have a polite person and not blame, and it is better to be less crazy and unruly.
Shangguan Ya saluted and said, "I've seen Qi Cixi."
Qi Xuansu said with a smile: "Jiaci said, she has always regarded Shangguan Daoyou as a younger sister, if you really want to talk about it, I am still a junior. Shangguan Daoyou has come from afar, and the journey is tiring, and I have asked people to prepare a banquet to wash the dust for Shangguan Daoyou."
Shangguan Ya didn't refuse, but said, "Don't dare to be."
Qi Xuansu made a gesture of please: "You can afford it."
