Chapter 109: What the hell?
When he came out of the Falling Dust Sword Shrine again, Chen Xiangbei found that it was already black and linen outside the window.
Pinch your fingers and count, it's the right time.
He had been practicing in the sword mound all afternoon, and he had forgotten the change of time for a while, but fortunately he came out early, and it would be troublesome if he missed the trip to Muru Temple tomorrow morning.
Before entering the Sword Shrine, he took two Qi God Pills and half a bottle of Qi Nourishing Pills, not only failed to make a breakthrough in the realm, but his body also showed fatigue, which was somewhat excessive.
He looked at the porcelain bottle containing the elixir next to the bed and shook his head resolutely, denying a thought that had crossed his mind.
The reason why the body is tired is mostly because the drug was too strong last night, and the method of cramming duck to pull up the cultivation in a short period of time is too great.
This made Chen Xiangbei worried.
Is there any other way to quickly improve one's cultivation?
That's right!
How could he forget the "elder brother" who was dormant in the palace?
Previously, in the information he transmitted, he had put forward the need for "the need for pill support" and "space magic weapon".
That "elder brother" has great powers, and maybe he will leave some elixirs that are conducive to repairing his body.
Thinking of this, Chen Xiangbei decided to go to Anlintai.
Now that he has the skin of Dongchang, even if he is discovered by the eyeliner stationed in Anlintai, he can have an explanation.
But when he came to the vicinity of Anlintai, he was taken aback.
Somehow, the security around Anlintai has become extremely tight.
In addition to the Praetorian Guards, there were also eunuchs from Dongchang who patrolled the night.
If you are someone else, you will definitely come forward directly to greet you, and then inquire about the news by the way.
But Chen Xiangbei is not a fool, the rules in the East Factory are like a mountain, each colleague has their own tasks, and requires absolute secrecy, it is strictly forbidden to inquire about each other, once they find out that they have disclosed the news in private, they will immediately be taken to the discipline room for interrogation.
Chen Xiangbei, who couldn't figure out the situation, thought about getting closer quietly, but when he thought that tomorrow morning would be a trip to Muru Temple, he couldn't make any mistakes, and after weighing, he could only return the same way.
However, as soon as Chen Xiangbei left on his front foot, two eunuchs appeared in front of the door of An Lintai.
"It's really a white horse passing through the gap...
A eunuch with a face as blue as a ghost and an old dragon bell glanced at An Lintai, and the dilapidated and desolate scene inside made him sigh.
A thin eunuch with a face like a crown of jade stepped forward, his brows furrowed, and a trace of impatience appeared on his face: "Gonggong Zhuang, what else do you have to see at the door of this Anlintai?" Why don't we go in? ”
Gonggong Zhuang sighed and said: "It's okay, our family once came here with the emperor, and it has been so many years in a flash... Things are not people. ”
However, the eunuch with a face like a crown of jade didn't want to listen to his lamentation of the past, and purely felt that this was a waste of life, so he said lightly: "Grandpa Zhuang, please come with me." ”
The two walked into Anlintai one after the other.
"Father-in-law Zuo, if you invite our family over tonight, shouldn't it be as simple as inviting our family to revisit the old place?" Grandpa Zhuang took the initiative to speak.
The eunuch's eyes were slightly gloomy, and he said expressionlessly: "It seems that Grandpa Zhuang's 'fiery eyes' sword is not old, not long ago, a consul of our Dongchang disappeared here for no reason, and no one has been found so far, so I invited you to come to investigate this matter." ”
As he spoke, he took Grandpa Zhuang to the scene of the crime, which was in front of the broken mural.
Seeing this, a group of East Factory guards guarding the scene immediately saluted.
"I've seen Zuo Qianhu."
"I've seen Grandpa Zhuang."
The Zuo Qianhu in their mouths is the white-faced eunuch next to Grandpa Zhuang, Zuo Zhu.
As the third-in-command in charge of punishment under the second governor of Dongchang, Zuo Zhu's status in Dongchang should not be underestimated, and the execution methods are even more vicious and cruel, known as the Zuo Man Demon.
Zuo Zhu waved his hand, causing his subordinates to retreat, and then looked at Zhuang Zhou and said, "Grandpa Zhuang, this is the place where the consul disappeared, please investigate carefully." ”
"Okay, leave it to our family."
Zhuang Zhou glanced at the surrounding environment, and his eyes narrowed into a slit, in which there seemed to be stars twinkling, as if they could penetrate everything that was difficult to find with the naked eye.
When his gaze fell on the stone wall, there was a trace of complicated expression without leaving a trace.
But soon he put away this strange appearance and looked at Zuo Zhu calmly: "Father-in-law Zuo, are you sure that consul really disappeared here?" ”
"It's true!" Zuo Zhu frowned, and said, "Grandpa Zhuang, do you see any clues?" ”
Zhuang Zhou shook his head helplessly: "Maybe our family has been retired for too long, and our skills have degraded too much, and I can't see anything, which disappoints you Gonggong Zuo." ”
Zuo Zhu narrowed his eyes, and said suspiciously: "Grandpa Zhuang, I heard that your fiery eyes and golden eyes have already been cultivated, and nothing that is subtle and unpredictable can escape your eyes, and you really can't see the slightest clue?" ”
Gonggong Zhuang sighed, glanced at both sides again, and said: "Gonggong Zuo, the dragon qi in the imperial city is monstrous, especially in this Anlin Terrace, the dragon qi is like a curtain covering the eyes, even if our family's fiery eyes are powerful, it is difficult to see the details here." ”
"That's it, in that case, Grandpa Zhuang, please go back, I'm sorry tonight." Zuo Zhu's cheeks couldn't help twitching, but he still respectfully saluted Zhuang Zhou.
Zhuang Zhou nodded and then turned around and left directly.
It wasn't until Zhuang Zhou left Anlintai that Zuo Zhu's pent-up anger burst out.
He smashed into the stone wall next to him in a circle.
Click, click
Cracks spread like broken porcelain bowls.
Then the corners of Zuo Zhu's mouth hooked an arc, and he said coldly: "Eating waste and antiques waiting for death, in front of our family, you still dare to rely on the old and sell the old?"
Wait! One day, our family must clean up your senate, and when it expires, you will kneel on the ground and beg for mercy, and our family will definitely not be soft-hearted! ”
After venting his anger, Zuo Zhu's face calmed down again, and he was still a face with a harmless face like a crown of jade.
He strode out of the hall and nodded at the subordinates guarding the door: "It's all good for our family, but our family doesn't believe it, and a good person has really evaporated from the world?" Could it be that there are still ghosts in this Yan King's hometown? We don't believe it! ”
However, at this time, Zhuang Zhou, who had already fled far away, was so frightened that his hands trembled, and his already blue face was even more terrifying.
"How so?
Am I reading it wrong?
How could I be wrong? ”
He was chattering and vomiting while leaning against the wall, obviously suffering a great shock to his mind.
He slowly raised his big sleeves, wiped his "fiery eyes", and said something in his mouth: "Why are there traces of the body of the emperor in Anlin Taichung?" What the hell? ”
