Chapter 21: In the City

This devil city is said to be a small city, but the inside is more like the palace view of the Jianghu sect, but the palace of the sect next to it occupies the mountain, but the shrine is in the desert and builds a wall for the city.

The morning bell rang, and the people in the small city were like the people of the Xuanmen Taoist Temple, fasting and washing, dressing strictly, and starting the day's homework.

At the end of the morning class, the people of the shrine went to eat. After that, the people on duty offered tea, water, incense, and cleaned the temple to the statue. Those who are not worthy of the temple will box, walk, meditate, and practice.

In the meantime, everything is orderly, quiet and natural, but it really seems to be in a certain Xuanmen Palace faction, and the bloody rain and bloody wind set off by the Divine Palace outside seem to have nothing to do with it.

However, Xiao Lingjiang knew that what he saw at the moment was only the appearance. Several of them are now at the outer gate, and most of the people they see are people who can't touch secrets.

If you want to really go deep into the lair of the shrine, you need to think about entering the inner door.

Although he was disguised and brought a talisman to hide, it was not completely troublesome, Xiao Lingjiang thought about it, so he signaled a few people to disperse and sneak into various parts of the city.

In this way, on the one hand, you can secretly explore the situation in the city, and find out the building topography and population in the Devil's City, and on the other hand, you can also take the opportunity to see if there is a chance to go deep into the inner gate.

A few people said that they were like swimming fish into the water, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

When it comes to covert exploration, there is no better fit than the shape of the shape, the silhouette of the hidden trace.

But now that he is in the Divine Palace, there are many people who are familiar with occult arts, if he is asked to wander around, and accidentally bumps into some master and shows his tracks, he will alarm others over there.

Xiao Lingjiang could only give up on this lazy method.

After she looked around, she hid in the corner of the outer gate hall and observed the Taoist priests in the hall.

According to what she had seen before, this Taoist priest should be a figure of some status in the outer gate, and many affairs had to be handled by his hands. Staring at him, I can't tell if I can get some news.

The incense burner was about to burn out, and when the Taoist priest saw this, he was about to lean over to add incense, when someone outside the hall suddenly approached and said, "Deacon, the star of Pleiades has summoned you." ”

The Taoist priest was stunned for a moment, ordered the people on the side to look at it, and then turned around and hurried outside.

Xiao Lingjiang's eyes couldn't help but light up, Kui Su? Isn't it one of the Seven Nights of the West?

At the beginning in Liangzhou, although she seriously injured the White Tiger Palace envoy, the star envoy under his seat was scattered like birds and beasts, and Liangzhou was in chaos at that time, so she had no time to take care of others, so she asked these people to slip away.

And although she had eradicated the forces of the Divine Palace everywhere before, there were always some fish that slipped through the net.

Xiao Lingjiang calculated in his heart, now the left and right envoys of the Divine Palace, and the four palace envoys have all been subdued, and the remaining ones in the Divine Palace are a few star envoys.

She hurriedly stayed behind the Taoist priest from a distance, only to see him pass through the outer hall and the layers of guards, and then pass through a gate, and then go deeper, thinking that it should be the place where the inner gate of the divine palace is located.

Someone walked by, Xiao Lingjiang hurriedly flew and hid in the dark to avoid it, and when the person walked away, she poked her head out to look in the direction of the inner door.

It's a sunny day, and the door is not easy to enter......

She didn't want to startle the snake, so she had to hide in the dark and wait.

After waiting for a long time, he saw that the deacon who had gone in before had come out from the beginning, thinking that the matter had already been discussed. Compared with before, this person has a little more joy between his eyebrows and eyes, but he is trying his best to hide it so that it is not so obvious.

Xiao Lingjiang glanced at the inner door, turned around and left behind him.

When he returned to his small courtyard, the deacon could no longer hide the joy on his face, and the boy who was serving him saw this, and hurriedly served him a cup of tea: "The deacon is so happy, but what happy event has happened?" ”

The deacon smiled and stroked his beard and said, "It is indeed a happy event. Today's Pleiades envoy ...... Oh no, the White Tiger Palace summoned me to go to the inner door to take care of things. ”

"White Tiger Palace Envoy?" The little boy was puzzled, "Didn't the White Tiger Palace envoy fold it in the hands of Princess Yong'an?" ”

The deacon knocked on his forehead, looking like a fool who couldn't be taught: "Now that several palace envoys are gone, many plans for the Great Zhou still need to be handled, and the Divine Palace is in the process of employing people, how can the position be vacant all the time?" Nature is the inhabitation of those who can live. ”

"Kui Pleiades made the means not low, but in the past, he was crushed by the White Tiger Palace, and he has been unhappy in his heart for a long time. Now that the White Tiger Palace envoy has been captured, this next palace envoy should be him, and the lord has secretly signaled this matter, and he will officially order it in the near future......"

As for the other palace envoys, they will also be filled by the rest of the star envoys.

Although the chess game of the Divine Palace has been defeated for many years, the hundred-legged insects are dead but not stiff, they have been planning for many years in the Great Zhou, and what they are best at is dormant accumulation.

If it doesn't work out this time, it's a big deal to make a comeback in the future.

Xiao Ling Jiang hid in the dark, listening to the deacon's chatter, but he got a lot of information about the Divine Palace.

When it got dark, a few people met at the appointed place, summarized the information they had obtained for a day, and had a general understanding of the situation in various parts of the city, except for the inner door.

Xiao Lingjiang looked at Pei You: "How about you and I take a trip to the inner door at night?" ”

Pei You smiled: "Naturally." ”

Leaving Nie Yin and the three of them to answer here, the two of them took advantage of the night to go to the inner door.

At night, the guards at the entrance to this inner gate are stricter, and patrols are continuous. But after all, there is a cover of night, and it is much more convenient for the two of them to act in secrecy.

Xiao Lingjiang used some means, and finally succeeded in entering the inner door.

The area of the inner gate is not wider than the outer gate, but the guards are much stricter than the outer gate, and there may be a formation in the middle of the sand grass technique, even if she and Pei You walk through it, they have to be careful at all times.

It is worthy of the depths of the old lair of the shrine.

Xiao Lingjiang and Pei You were not familiar with this place, so naturally they didn't think about directly touching the place where the Divine Palace Lord was located. The two of them just walked around the inside a few times, kept in mind the topography of the inner door, and took the opportunity to observe the people living in various places, and then quietly withdrew.

Seeing that the two of them who had been in the middle of the night finally came back, Nie Yin stepped forward and asked quietly, "How is the situation at the inner door?" ”

Xiao Lingjiang explained the situation inside, and Pei You drew a topographical map of the inner door.

After repeatedly exploring the city for three days, they basically figured out the number of people, terrain, and layout in the city, and Xiao Lingjiang ordered the next step.

"There are about more than two hundred people in the Divine Palace in the city, although not all of them are proficient in occult arts, but they are not easy to deal with, not to mention that the Lord of the Divine Palace and the star envoys from all over the place are also in the middle of it right now, if you want to break through here, it will definitely not be possible with a few of us alone."

"Nie Xiashi, you and the two Dao Masters will go out of the city first, and after you go out, quickly transfer the righteous army to ambush around the Devil City, and I will secretly respond with the prince in the city. When the support from Liangzhou arrives, we can wait for the opportunity to attack the city! ”
