Chapter 320: Shadow Hall
Li Shuidao followed Xia Ruoxue, passed through the crowd, and came to a narrow alley.
The corners of the alleys are carved with some strange symbols, which feel like homeless people have been picked out blindly after getting drunk.
This is actually the mark of the secret door, and only those who are familiar with it know the meaning.
The two followed the marker to the end of the alleyway, which was a dead end.
"Only I'll be able to go in next." Xia Ruoxue said with a solemn face.
"I'll wait for you outside." Li Shuidao nodded and said.
I saw Xia Ruoxue patting the storage bag and taking out a token with a pitch-black skull, which was Zhaoyi Ling.
Xia Ruoxue clenched the Zhaoyi Order, and as the mana was injected, the skull on the token suddenly opened its mouth and spewed out a thick white mist.
After the white mist filled, Xia Ruoxue's figure gradually disappeared into it, as if blending into the fog.
Li Shuidao looked at everything in front of him in astonishment......
He couldn't see anything but the white fog and the empty dead ends.
An invisible force seemed to prevent him from further pursuing Xia Ruoxue's traces.
After a long time......
The white mist rose again, and Xia Ruoxue returned to this dead end.
Xia Ruoxue gently brushed the hair on her forehead, smiled and said, "Husband, please come with me." ”
Li Shuidao followed Xia Ruoxue out of this small alley and came to an inn called "Qingyun Building".
After they entered the inn, Xia Ruoxue found the shopkeeper and showed a jade plaque printed with the word "Qingyun".
The shopkeeper was shocked, and then smiled all over his face: "Two distinguished guests, you are really brilliant when you come to the small shop, Qingyun Building has vacated an upper room, the two of you can sit casually, you don't need to pay the room fee, you can live as long as you want." ”
Xia Ruoxue's eyebrows and eyes were crooked, looking quite proud.
Xiao Er led the two to a quiet room. The room is furnished with a quaint table and a few chairs, and an old landscape painting hangs on the wall.
When Xiao Er left, he closed the door. Xia Ruoxue immediately said: "The secret door here is called 'Shadow Hall', and the scale is not small. After I showed the Zhaoyi Order, they immediately treated me with good courtesy, saying that all the secret doors in the world are one family, and it is not enough to provide some convenience to each other. ”
Xia Ruoxue pointed to a few fortune-telling shops outside the window and said, "Look at that blind man who seems to be a fortune teller, but in fact he is a monk from the Shadow Hall who specializes in assassination missions. ”
Li Shuidao looked through the window, and indeed found that there was a person who was not like a fortune teller, bargaining with the blind man, and the two were spitting freely.
"Then how is the exchange of information in our Tianchi Fang?" Li Shuidao continued to ask.
Xia Ruoxue replied: "The Shadow Hall also has a 'secret door' magic weapon, which can keep in touch with Tianchi Fang at all times, but their secret door magic weapon is very precious and may not be lent to us." ”
Li Shuidao thought for a moment and said: "As guests, we really can't make excessive requests, so we will send them a letter to tell them where we are now, and ask that if there is a major change in Tianchifang, we must be notified as soon as possible." At the same time, they must be ready to evacuate at any time. ”
"Yes." Xia Ruoxue said.
"What about the news of the alchemy room?" Li Shuidao continued to ask.
"The alchemy hall fire room here has always been leased by people, and it will not be rented out to the public at all. However, the Phantom Hall has already used its connections, and we can go to the Alchemy Hall to go through the formalities tomorrow at the latest. Xia Ruoxue explained.
"Good! Sure enough, we still have to rely on forces, if we are casual cultivators, I'm afraid we won't even be able to get an alchemy room now. Li Shuidao said with satisfaction.
Xia Ruoxue continued: "Husband, in addition to this news, there is another news that may be of interest to you. ”
"Oh, what's the news?" Li Shuidao asked with interest.
"Silver Snow City has a 1,200-year-old high-grade alchemy furnace, which is said to have given birth to the Medicine Master's Spiritual Fire. If a monk refines this kind of acquired fire, he no longer needs to be subject to the earth fire, and he can refine the pill at any time. Xia Ruoxue explained.
"Hahahaha......" Li Shuidao laughed after hearing this: "The first time we met, they told you such a confidential thing, what do they want to do with you?" ”
Xia Ruoxue shook her head: "No, they didn't ask me to do anything. They said that this furnace would be exhibited in Silver Snow City, and invited many underground city owners and workshop owners to come and appreciate the treasure. ”
"What do you say? Is there such a precious thing that is not hidden, but invites the leaders of various forces to come and appreciate the treasure? Li Shuidao said to himself with a frown.
Xia Ruoxue also felt very strange, she said: "I also think it is very strange. ”
Li Shuidao knocked on the table and said, "This is a trap!" They are willing to use this treasure as bait, and they must be fishing for a big fish. ”
Xia Ruoxue asked, "Who are they going to fish?" ”
Li Shuidao smiled: "I guess it's mostly related to that treasure." ”
"Keel Tai Sui?" Xia Ruoxue guessed.
Li Shuidao nodded and said, "The Bagua Alchemy Furnace that gave birth to the Medicine Master's Spiritual Fire is also a priceless treasure, except for the Dragon Bone Tai Sui who can promote the Wuxiang True Monarch, I can't think of anything else worthy of them using this thing as bait." ”
Xia Ruoxue asked curiously, "Why can the Medicine Master Spiritual Fire be adjusted to the Dragon Bone Tai Sui?" ”
Li Shuidao thought for a moment and said, "Listen to Na Lang Zhanpeng, the keel Tai Sui can be sliced and taken directly. Low-level monks taking high-level spiritual materials can certainly cleanse the marrow and cut the body, enhance mana, and even improve cultivation, but most of them will also have side effects that we don't know about, and most of these side effects need to be solved through the medicine master's spiritual fire. ”
"I see." Xia Ruoxue suddenly realized: "That husband, should we snatch the pharmacist spiritual fire?" ”
Li Shuidao glared at Xia Ruoxue fiercely: "I want everything!" I've already said it's a trap, how dare you covet it? ”
"If you really want to fish for the keel Tai Sui, then the person holding the fishing rod must be Wuxiang Zhenjun. And that Bagua Refining Furnace is likely to be the treasure of the Yun Mang Sword Sect, so we'd better not get involved in this matter. Li Shuidao said coldly.
"Oh...... However, the Left Hall Master invited me to appreciate this treasure tomorrow. Xia Ruoxue said.
Li Shuidao thought for a moment: "You can go, but don't act rashly." ”
Xia Ruoxue nodded seriously, then stood up and pulled down the curtains......
Phantom Hall.
A spacious and delicate room, surrounded by ornate silk draperies, and with exquisite calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls, exuding a faint fragrance.
In the center of the room is a carved mahogany coffee table, on which is placed a set of delicate tea sets, and a wisp of fragrant tea fills the air.
Hall master Zuo Zhongxiu was wearing a black robe, and the robe was embroidered with delicate silver thread patterns, showing his noble status.
His face was handsome and deep, with a hint of coldness between his eyebrows, and a smart glint in his eyes. He was sitting upright in a chair, elegantly sipping a cup of fragrant tea, savoring the aroma of the tea leaves.
The fragrance of tea is overflowing, and the beauty is even more intoxicating......
Zuo Zhongxiu recalled the Zhaoyi of the Miaoyin Pavilion she saw during the day, her appearance and temperament were heartwarming, and her voice was like a heavenly sound, which made people intoxicated.
He couldn't help but look forward to the moment when he saw her again, hoping to learn more about her inner world.
Soon......
A subordinate came to report the situation.
Zuo Zhongxiu asked, "How is the situation?" ”
The subordinate knelt down on one knee and reported: "Miss Xia has already moved into Qingyun Building and lives in an upper room, but it's just ......"
"Just what?" Zuo Zhongxiu asked in a deep voice.
The subordinate said with a look of embarrassment: "It's just that she lives with a man." ”
Speaking of this, the subordinate was already ready to meet Zuo Zhongxiu's stormy anger, but unexpectedly, Zuo Zhongxiu squeezed out a smile when he heard this and said, "That man is her brother." ”
Subordinate: "......"
As a subordinate, Zhang Xiaoshan swallowed the words he heard the two of them taking a mandarin duck bath outside the window.
The hall master Zuo Zhongxiu is a moody and murderous person, serving such a lord is like a companion walking on the road, and he must be cautious at all times.
In order to live a long life, Zhang Xiaoshan understands that he must always be aware of words and emotions and act when the opportunity arises. While he may not be as good as others in terms of intelligence capabilities, he is definitely second to none in this regard.
Zuo Zhongxiu was obviously interested in that Xia girl, and Zhang Xiaoshan understood that it was best for him not to talk too much and not to cause trouble.
He wisely chose to remain silent and stop mentioning what he heard outside the window.
Zuo Zhongxiu smiled and said, "If Miss Xia has any needs, you all have to meet them as soon as possible." If you can't meet it right away, you have to let me know as soon as possible. ”
Zhang Xiaoshan replied respectfully: "The subordinates obey the order." ”
……
Following.
Zhang Xiaoshan took the initiative to come to Qingyun Tower and met Xia Ruoxue and Li Shuidao.
"Miss Xia, the Alchemy Hall has already been contacted, you can go directly." Zhang Xiaoshan said with a smile.
Xia Ruoxue said gratefully: "Thank you, and I also want to send a letter." ”
Zhang Xiaoshan replied: "The hall master has explained, Miss Xia can put forward any requests." ”
Xia Ruoxue smiled and said, "Then thank you, I'll take my brother to the alchemy room first, and then I'll send the letter." ”
"Yes, but in the evening, the hall master invited Miss Xia to appreciate the treasures of Silver Snow City, and Miss Xia remembered to go." Zhang Xiaoshan reminded
Xia Ruoxue smiled and nodded.
Moments later......
"Miss Xia, Li Daoyou, this is the Alchemy Hall." Zhang Xiaoshan pointed to the building in front of him and said.
The door of the building in front of him was open, and a huge alchemy furnace was placed in the middle of the foyer.
Xia Ruoxue and Li Shuidao followed Zhang Xiaoshan into the alchemy hall, and a strong medicinal fragrance came to their faces, making people feel fresh and pleasant.
"Deacon Zhang! And Miss Xia, who is this? A shopkeeper walked out and greeted people when he saw them, but he was quite unfamiliar with Li Shuidao, after all, Deacon Zhang did not say anything about this person.
Zhang Xiaoshan immediately introduced: "This is Li Daoyou, and it is Miss Xia's forehead...... Brother. ”
"Come in, two of you! The fire chamber is ready. The shopkeeper of the Alchemy Hall warmly led them to a spacious and bright alchemy room.
