Chapter 5 Uninvited Guests
In front of the gate of Xu's Mansion, Uncle Xu Wenguang sent off the last batch of guests, wiped his sweat with a tired face, took out a "spring scale" with silver weights from his sleeve, glanced at the hour, and was about to turn around.
Suddenly, the night turned into daylight.
The two soared through the clouds and fell from the sky.
On the left is a middle-aged man in a gray arrow-sleeved suit, with brown hair and a gloomy temperament.
Beside him was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, with a melon seed face and a little red on her forehead; Dressed in a pure white shawl thousand leaf skirt, she carried a banana fan that was wider than her body.
The long black hair on the back is up to the waist and hips, and it is only a simple bunch at the middle of the vest.
The brown-haired middle-aged man stood with his hands in his hands and stepped back half a body.
The girl seemed very sleepy, her upper and lower eyelids fought, and her dark pupils loomed; But she was holding a red-skinned gourd in her green hand, and a waxy yellow straw was stuck in the gourd's mouth.
The small mouth is holding the straw, and the throat is trembling and undulating.
The mellow aroma of wine wafts away in an instant.
Xu Wenguang was stunned for a moment, and then took a closer look at the chest and abdomen of the two.
Monk!
After Xinyuan Honzhou entered a new era of "Five Elements Turning into Mortals and Immortals and Approaching People", cultivators were known as "the same dust as the world", and unless there were special circumstances, they rarely showed their magical powers in front of mortals.
Xu Wenguang saluted and said cautiously: "What advice do the two ancestors have?" β
The so-called "ancestors" in Xinyuan Honzhou does not mean the deceased father or ancestor, but is used from "immortals", which is a general term for unidentified monks in ordinary people.
"Immortals" evolved into "ancestors", and the interpretation also changed from "immortals beyond the mundane" to "people who are one step ahead".
No longer on top, just one step ahead.
This is a concept derived from the current "Great Dao Xuanjing" monastic system.
The brown-haired middle-aged man said: "Town Demon Division, Snow Lion Hall, Shenlong Wei." β
Xu Wenguang looked dazed.
The Great Jin Immortal Dynasty has the word "immortal", which is not an ordinary secular dynasty.
It can be said that it has the form of a state, and it is actually a super sect that practices the way of joining the WTO and directly rules the world.
The "Three Divisions and Six Courts" such as the Demon Suppression Division, the Demon Punishment Division, and the Dangkou Division are the core institutions that are above the local government system, and they are very mysterious.
Xu Wenguang had heard of the Demon Division, but he didn't know where the "Snow Lion Hall" and "Shenlongwei" were.
The brown-haired middle-aged man had no intention of explaining, raised his hand slightly, bowed down, and introduced: "This one is the Divine Capital Inspector. β
Xu Wen was shocked.
The five words "Divine Supervisor" are like thunder!
In the part of the secular official system of the Great Jin Dynasty, there were four levels of Dao, state, county, and county, which were in good order.
The entire local system is huge in scale and has complex personnel needs. It is unrealistic to say that all the functions should be filled entirely by the monks.
Moreover, the level of cultivation may not be completely related to the ability to do business in the world.
Therefore, in the whole local system, the middle and upper class officials are mainly monks; But many ordinary people with a skill are often in the middle of it.
The level of official character and the level of cultivation may not even correspond strictly.
For example, the county order of a certain county is the realm of seven grades, but the county guard on it is only eight grades, which is not uncommon.
Although such a system has the advantage of appointing people based on merit, the unequal reputation and strength will inevitably bury hidden dangers.
Therefore, there is a system of "inspectors".
Each province, prefecture, county, and county has a single "Supervisor", who is a practitioner of a fixed rank.
Usually ignore the specifics and just act as the general responsibility.
This position is the only full-time job in one place.
As for the nominal governors of each region, the assassin history, the Taishou, the county order, etc., can only be regarded as the "scattered officials" of the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty.
The real name of "Shendu" is Taihe Xiancheng, which is nominally a city, but in fact, the regional population is not only far from being comparable to the county city, or even far exceeding a state, but similar to the scale of "Dao".
As the capital of the Great Jin Dynasty, its status is the first of the first-level administrative institutions of the "Dao".
So the girl in front of her is actually the number one existence among the local leaders of the Great Jin Dynasty!
Xu Wenguang hurriedly bowed again, and said in fear: "What advice do you have for the Inspector to come to the Fan family?" β
The Xu family members in the second courtyard, led by Xu Changling and Xu Xingguo, came to the door together at this time.
Hearing the identity of the person who came, everyone was shocked inexplicably, and they prayed together.
But everyone was not too afraidβbecause in today's "Sixth Age", practitioners have a unique code of conduct, and it is not the era of ancient times when immortals regarded ordinary people as ants.
The girl did not react to everyone's visit, her eyes were confused, and she took a small sip.
The brunette middle-aged man coughed.
Only then did the girl come back to her senses, her eyes fell on Xu Wenguang, and her voice was immature and fluttering: "Your nephew is dead." β
In fact, the girl's attitude is very serious; But combined with her soft and crisp voice, which is suspected of being a minor, it inexplicably presents a taste of schadenfreude.
Then, the girl took out a blue and yellow bill from her sleeve, threw it in front of Xu Wenguang at random, and added: "This is a pension." β
Xu Wenguang's face turned pale suddenly, his body shook unconsciously, and he leaned against the wall and said in a trembling voice: "Lord Inspector...... This...... Where to start? β
The girl's apricot eyes widened, tilted her head and said strangely: "It's the nephew who died, not the son." There's no need to react so much, right? β
The brown-haired middle-aged man glanced at the girl, wiped his forehead, waved his sleeves, and said loudly: "Let's enter the back room, you will know at a glance." β
The two entered the gate.
Crossing the one-zhang wide wall carved with "Hundred Workers Drawing" in the courtyard, I entered the second courtyard.
In the middle of the courtyard is a one-zhang wide yellow wood aisle, with potted lilies and jade trees on both sides, lanterns hanging on the black wooden wall, and strings of red hydrangeas on the roof beams.
The Xu family followed.
The brown-haired middle-aged man looked back and added the cause and effect: "Xu Zhenyun's newlywed wife was replaced by the demon clan. At this moment, it is expected that he must have lost his luck. β
Everyone in the Xu family was in a trance, and their faces were pale.
At this time, Ran Chuchu's father, Ran Dazhou, hurried out of the inner hall.
The thunderbolt on the sunny day thundered overhead, the blood on his face was instantly lost, his body seemed to have lost the support of his backbone, and he fell down in an instant, and then slowly sat down to the ground.
If these words came from the mouths of ordinary people, as Xu Zhenyun's relatives, they would inevitably be reprimanded as evil words and curses.
But the authority of the monastic is unacceptable; There is no escape from despair.
Entering the backyard, the two stood in front of the new house.
The brunette middle-aged man pushed open the front door.
The two leaned forward together, the tiger body (delicate body) was shocked, the pupils dilated, and the expressions froze.
The room was a mess, with red and white things splashing.
There was a smashed corpse lying on the ground, and it could be seen from the white hair and long tail on the limbs that it was undoubtedly the Ice-Eyed Tapir Demon Clan!
Xu Zhenyun stood upright, covered in blood, shocking.
One hand was holding on to the bed frame, slightly distracted, as if everything had nothing to do with him.
After a moment of trance, the brown-haired middle-aged man's eyes suddenly sharpened, and he shouted loudly: "Bold monster, don't leave quickly after taking away, and dare to play the trick of black under the light?" β
Stretch out your finger and void a little.
A little light expands rapidly, as if it is slow but fast. In a trance, the whole room has been completely enveloped, covered with a layer of azure color.
The extremely clever enchantment supernatural power is like turning the world upside down.
Within the enchantment, there are only three people: the girl, the brown-haired middle-aged, and Xu Zhenyun.
The people of the Xu clan are all isolated.
After the enchantment was established, the brown-haired middle-aged man looked at it carefully, his expression suddenly became strange, and he turned his head to look at the girl with some unconfidence.
The girl's expression was serious for two points, and a touch of seriousness flashed away, and it returned to haze in an instant.
The small mouth with the straw was a little slurred: "It's a human, not a demon." β
Then the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he muttered in a low voice: "I'm not dead...... It was in vain to review the Great Compassion Mantra for a long time......"
Xu Zhenyun and the two stared wide-eyed.
The brown-haired middle-aged man looked sluggish at first, and then was surprised: "Xu Zhenyun? You killed the demon cultivator? β
"At the beginning of this year, you were just promoted to the eighth rank of physical arts. At that time, he ranked third in the eight-dan battle assessment at the Shiraishi Martial Arts Hall. β
"At that time, it was assessed that the advanced nine dan was probably not a problem; However, whether or not they can successfully break through from the general election of the DPRK is only a matter of five to five. β
Xu Zhenyun was stunned.
This "Divine Dragon Envoy" knows himself very well......
Xu Zhenyun's perception ability has been greatly enhanced, and his mind is in a state of emptiness just now, and his sense of hearing is also more keen. I had already heard the conversation outside and knew the identity of the person who came.
The brown-haired middle-aged man whispered to himself: "Such a reborn ascension, if it is not a great opportunity and extraordinary creation, it cannot be achieved......"
"Those warlocks in Shojinin are all rice buckets...... It turns out that the judgment of the demon clan is correct, and it is the sixteen-year time limit law......"
Suddenly, his eyes were shining, and he took two steps forward very naturally, and his tone was kind: "My name is Liang Hongbo." β
He immediately grinned and added with a familiar face: "You can call me Lao Liang." β
Xu Zhenyun showed a flattered look on his face, but he took two steps back and replied cautiously: "Don't dare to be." The dragon made the lord too polite. β
This set is almost?
If something goes wrong, there must be a demon!
A trace of sadness appeared on Liang Hongbo's face: "Xu Zhenyun, do you know? Dajin has been watching you. β
"Now that you have entered the Tao, your father has a spirit in the sky, and he should also look at it."
Xu Zhenyun took the opportunity to ask rhetorically: "The Divine Dragon makes the Lord know my father?" β
Liang Hongbo stroked his chin, revealing an expression of nostalgia for the old man, and nodded angrily: "That's naturalβyour father, Xu Fengzhi, is a figure who has left a deep mark on the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty." β
Xu Zhenyun's thoughts flew around, deliberating about the other party's intentions.
Liang Hongbo took two steps closer, looked at Xu Zhenyun at a distance of less than two feet, and said word by word: "Do you know? Da Jin has never forgotten you! β
"But if you don't get into the way, all your concerns have to be in the dark. But once you step into the path of cultivation β the cause and effect of the past continue today, and it is time for the wanderer to return home. β
"Zhenyun Xian, you have suffered!"
Speaking of emotion, the corners of Liang Hongbo's eyes flickered, like an old father and his son who had been missing for 18 years reuniting after a long absence......
Liang Hongbo's dove-faced eagle-nosed appearance is combined with his current expression, forming a strange contrast.
But Xu Zhenyun not only didn't think it was funny, but goosebumps floated all over his body.
A cultivator who is obviously not of low rank, how can such an exaggerated performance have the taste of a weasel giving a chicken a New Year's greeting?
Liang Hongbo slapped Xu Zhenyun's shoulder with a slap, almost causing Xu Zhenyun to sit down: "Zhenyun is a virtuous nephew." β
"What happened to you after September this year...... Supernatural things? β
"Don't hide something in your heart - you have to believe in Da Jin!"
