Chapter Eighty-Eight: No sword is also a sword cultivator
The strange woman stood at the door, looking at Shu Jue puzzled, just when she didn't understand what the state was, racking her brains to make up her identity, she saw the strange woman asking herself and answering: "Are you a guest of the city lord's wife?" The banquet hall is located on the first floor, so guests should not run around. ”
Shujue followed her downstairs in a daze, and saw the other four people downstairs who were also confused.
"You've been asked out too?"
"He has to say that I am a guest of the city lord, so he will go this way if he catches me."
"Me too, I was treated as a guest of the city lord's wife."
When I looked up, I was shocked to realize that it was already night, and the city lord's mansion, which was empty during the day, was now full of people and lively, as if everyone in this town was here.
Obviously, people came and went, but it was as if no one noticed them, and people passed by them, and they didn't even distinguish a little extra glance.
"Yinyue, don't you think it's like the day is going by very quickly today?" Shu Jue remembered that she went to the second floor and went directly to the study, and she didn't stay in it for long, and it should have only been about an hour, why did a day pass?
But after a long time, no one answered her words.
"Yinyue?" Shu Jue called in her heart again, and there was only silence to answer her.
What's going on?
Shu Jue stabilized her mind, looked at the other people who were talking, her expression remained unchanged, and she lowered her voice: "Did you find something?" ”
"No, I didn't stay long on the first floor when it suddenly got dark outside." Mu Qianqian asked her rhetorically: "Shujue, how is the situation over there?" ”
Shu Jue smiled bitterly and spread her hands, her face full of helplessness: "Like you, I haven't found anything, and the things hidden in this city lord's mansion are really deep enough." ”
"That's right." Shen Xingzhan nodded.
"Where's Lian Yan?" Shu Jue turned his head to look at the young man on the very edge, he lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking, and he heard someone call him to raise his head and shake it.
"I don't have it here, Shujue." Without waiting for Shu Jue to ask, Lian Huo spoke first.
Shu Jue raised her eyes and glanced at him, and nodded: "In that case, why don't we go to someone and ask first, what is the situation now?" ”
No one objected, so Shujue touched Mu Qianqian with her elbow: "Go Qianqian, let's talk about it, you are responsible for this matter." ”
"Huh?" Mu Qianqian seemed a little surprised, but at Shang Shujue's confident gaze, she let out an "oh" twice, and laughed a little embarrassedly: "You don't say that I almost forgot about this stubble, I'm going to ask you now, wait for me here." ”
Shu Jue hooked the corners of her lips, and the meaning in her round eyes was unclear: "Go, we'll wait for you here." ”
When she walked away, Shu Jue stopped talking to the other three, and only secretly observed the surrounding situation.
These people who came and went in the City Lord's Mansion seemed to be very normal ordinary monks, but as long as they were a little careful, they could find that the expressions on their faces were very stiff.
Some people's expressions are even more like carved out of a mold, even the curvature of the corners of the mouth and the number of teeth exposed.
seems to be beaming, but in fact, there is no anger in his eyes, and he is as silent as a pool of stagnant water.
Shu Jue could only see their mouths open and close, but the voices in her ears were very faint, and she couldn't hear what they were saying at all.
Tut.
If that's the way the domain works, that's not good.
Shu Jue retracted her watchful gaze, leaned against the tree on the side, and waited for Mu Qianqian to come back.
Fortunately, she didn't let her wait too long, and came back with a happy face.
"Shu Jue, I heard that these days are a good day for the wedding of the city lord and the city lord's wife, tomorrow morning, the city lord will take someone to pick up his relatives, and then the people in the city lord's mansion will leave almost the same, and we can take the opportunity to find things."
"Really!" Shujue exclaimed exaggeratedly, and excitedly held Mu Qianqian's hand: "It has to be you, Qianqian, there is no news in this world that you can't inquire about." ”
Mu Qianqian was stunned for a moment, pulled her hand out of Shujue's palm, and scratched her head embarrassedly, "Where, this is what I should do." ”
"Qianqian, your hands are so cold, what's the matter?" Shu Jue pretended to be surprised, and was about to reach out to touch her again, Mu Qianqian directly put her hand behind her back:
"It's okay, Shujue, it's just because I was too nervous to set up the news just now, I'll just take a break."
"I see." Shu Jue nodded, apparently believing it.
"Guests, please come with me." The woman who brought Shu Jue out of the study appeared beside them again at some point, and after saluting a few people, she led them to the courtyard on the side.
"Guests, you will rest here tonight, there will be maids waiting outside, and I will tell them what I have to say."
"Thank you, sister." Shu Jue arched her hand at the woman, and the woman glanced at her and retreated.
There are exactly five rooms in the courtyard, one for each person.
Several people unanimously asked Shujue to choose a room first, and she was not polite, and directly occupied the largest room.
The decoration style in the room is similar to that of the hall, and the glass lamp emits a dim light, which makes people feel a little trance for a while.
Shu Jue retracted her gaze, sat cross-legged on the bed, and kept summoning the Moon Attracting Sword.
But it was as if the connection between her and the sword had been severed, let alone summoned, and she couldn't even sense the sword, and the storage bag couldn't be opened.
Shu Jue was annoyed, she couldn't cultivate at all in this broken place!
The gaze gradually shifted, and Shu Jue let out a long sigh and set her eyes on the snow.
Okay, yes, you have to play like this, right? Then she's welcome.
Early the next morning, the procession of welcoming relatives set off from the city lord's mansion and headed for the mansion of the city lord's wife.
Shu Jue looked at the lively atmosphere outside and knocked on the door of the other four people.
A few people seemed to have just woken up, you look at me, I look at you, I don't understand what Shu Jue is going to do.
Shu Jue pretended to be puzzled: "Didn't you say yesterday that you would do it when the welcoming team left?" Did you forget? ”
The faces of the four changed in unison: "This ...... But when people get married, let's sabotage it, okay? ”
"What a big wedding." Shu Jue lifted the snow and put a stick on his shoulder: "You don't know, this is just an illusion, the real city lord and the city lord's wife...... Maybe the bones can be used to beat the drums, so do you mind? ”
“……”
Seeing that a few people didn't speak, Shu Jue opened the courtyard door directly.
The maid waiting at the door had not yet left, and when she came out and was about to say something, Shu Jue had a stick on her head.
Seeing this, the other maid was about to scold loudly, but Shujue didn't hesitate, and it was another stick.
The four people behind him were stunned, and Shu Jue turned her head and squinted at them and smiled: "Let's go?" Didn't you say you were going to find something? I'm curious what you're going to take me for. ”
You don't think that restricting her from summoning the Natal Sword will make everything right, right? Please, even if she doesn't have a natal sword, she's a sword cultivator!
