Chapter Twenty-Three: The Altar of the Town

The horses and military uniforms of these three people were all brought by the chief manager, after all, they have been mixed in Liu Bang's army for a few days, and they still have this face.

The three of them galloped all the way, and because they were wearing the uniforms of Liu Bang's army, they were within the control of Pei Gong, and there was nothing to stop them. And after the Qin army's controlled areas received the news of surrender, they were not embarrassed. That night, the three of them finally arrived at the city of Xianyang.

Originally, the city gate should have been closed at this time, but the news of the surrender of Liu Bang was already known to passers-by in Xianyang City. Rumors spread in the city, and the sergeants defending the city had already taken off their uniforms and fled from Xianyang City. When the First Emperor unified the Seven Kingdoms, it was a majestic and solemn capital of the Great Qin State, but now the four doors are wide open, and I saw a lot of people running out of the city with their families and mouths, and rushed to other places overnight to avoid trouble.

Wu Mian and the three took advantage of this, and even took people and horses to sneak into the city at night. Wu Mian and the chief steward were very familiar with each other here, and walked along the main road, and after half an hour, they arrived at the entrance of the inner city palace.

There are still a few people guarding the main gate of the palace, but at this time, I can't talk about who is still dedicated to their duties, and the brothers who guard the palace gate are gathered together, lighting a bonfire to keep warm, and there is a big push of gold ornaments and jade beside them, and I really don't understand what this means when I put it on at ordinary times.

The palace gate behind the sergeant was hidden, and from time to time, eunuchs and palace maids came out of it carrying burdens, and the sergeant guarding the palace gate just looked at it coldly but did not stop it. The eunuchs and maids who came out were throwing a few things in front of them, and when the leader of the sergeants nodded, they ran in the direction of the city gate like an amnesty, and disappeared into the night in a short time.

Wu Mian and the three of them took advantage of the chaos to bow their heads and rushed into the palace, and all the soldiers guarding the door were stunned, unexpectedly that at this time, there would be people who would enter the palace. One of the sergeants just wanted to open his mouth to stop him, but was stopped by the leader next to him: "Leave them alone, whoever wants to enter can enter, as long as they follow the rules and come out and pay their share." Don't make any extraneous things at this time, as long as we don't delay our fortune."

After the leader finished speaking, he shouted at Wu Mian and the three of them, "I said that you all know the rules?"

The chief steward was an old man in the palace, and he was afraid of being recognized, so he twisted his head to the side as if he hadn't heard it. And Wu Mian directly pretended not to hear it, and walked in without disguise. Only if he didn't return, he turned around and smiled at the sergeants: "Do you need to talk about this? They are all here to make a fortune, and everyone eats meat together, and brothers are indispensable." When we come out, we naturally have a piece of filial piety."

"The meat head I said was going to come out before dawn. Come out late, be careful that Liu Bang's army treats you as thieves," After the sergeant leader finished speaking, Wu Mian and the three of them had already entered the palace.

When Wu Mian was a priest in the palace before, he could only move in the designated area, and he didn't know the direction of most of the palace. can only go with the return or not, and follow the steward all the way forward. Compared to him, the chief steward has to constantly check the feng shui changes in the palace, so he can be regarded as stepping into every corner of the palace. In the darkness of the night, after he had identified the direction, he walked back and forth between the countless palace gates. After more than half an hour, they arrived at a courtyard in a remote palace, and the chief steward pointed to a well in the courtyard and said, "This is the well."

Wu Mian walked to the well and looked down for a long time, and in his eyes, he couldn't see anything suspicious except for overgrown weeds. At this time, the chief steward also came over boldly, he looked at the well mouth on the other side for a long time, and then stood up, he didn't dare to provoke Wu Mian, he could only turn around and say to the non-returning: "I can't see anything in the black hole...... Is the elixir of immortality really hidden here?"

And the old guy didn't seem to be interested in this dry well, but just looked at Wu Mian with a smiling expression, as if waiting for the white-haired little guy to ask why he couldn't find the entrance on the map.

But Wu Mian didn't take the initiative to speak, and after looking at it for a while, he raised his head and turned his gaze to whether he would return or not, and just kept staring at him, just not asking first. Wu Mian and Gui Wugui kept looking at each other, neither of them spoke, it was difficult for the chief manager who was lying at the wellhead.

The chief steward looked at the two of them left and right, and saw that neither of them meant to speak, and finally couldn't help but say: "What, it's almost dawn......" After saying this, the first person to speak was whether to return or not, he smiled at Wu Mian and said, "Don't you ask?"

Wu Mian raised his eyebrows and replied, "Don't you say it?" As he spoke, several arcs of light faintly appeared on his body, but after he finished speaking, the arcs disappeared.

Returning to Haha smiled, and said: "Forget it, I can't beat you, I admit it" When he said this, he had already walked towards Wu Mian, walked to the edge of the dry well and glanced at the scene under the well, and continued: "This is the handiwork of the old guy Xu Fu, but that old guy is really bold, and he dares to change the Zhenguo altar below into his Taoist house......

Before he finished speaking, the face of the chief steward had already changed, and he involuntarily interjected: "Do you say that the following is the Zhenguo altar......? I was there at the time, and I couldn't have been unaware of such a big scene."

"Do you think that Xu Fu's generous master is called in vain? If you don't want to see it, you can't see the altar in front of you" Gui Gui Bai glanced at the chief manager, then ignored him, turned his attention to Wu Mian's face, and continued: "Thirty-three wells, just leaking the water in this well, this is the magic that breaks the endless three threes"

Speaking of this, he suddenly turned his head to look at the chief steward, gritted his teeth at him, and said, "Give me your hand, let you see something good" As he spoke, he put one hand into his arms, as if he wanted to take something out.

This is a posture that clearly wants to give him a bargain, and the manager did not hesitate at all, and stretched out his hand with a smiling face. Unexpectedly, Gui Bugui suddenly grabbed his wrist and pulled his palm to the upper end of the well, and before the chief steward could react, he saw that the hand that Gui Bugui had stretched out into his arms had stretched out, holding a dagger in his hand.

What was not returned to his hand was the dagger that Lin Huo left on Wu Mian's chest that day, and with a flash of the knife, a bloody wound was cut out of the palm of the chief manager. The manager was shocked and wanted to withdraw his hand, but he was held by the old man in front of him, who was not worthy of words, and did not let his palm leave the range of the wellhead for half a minute.

Fortunately, it didn't take much blood, and after a while, he let go. The chief steward grinned his palm back, glanced at whether he would return, looked at Wu Mian again, and after letting out a sigh, he swallowed back the curse words that had reached his throat.

Ignoring him, he glanced at the scene under the well again, then turned around and smiled at Wu Mian: "I opened the door for you, as for whether you can go or not, it's up to you."

Wu Mian looked sideways at the well, and saw that the weeds below had all dried up, revealing a string of incantations on the stone platform below. There was a faint black gas coming out along the strokes of the incantation, and after reading it, Wu Mian raised his head and glanced at Gui Bugui, then turned his head to look at the chief steward and said, "You, go down first"
