At the gate of Yanshan City, the avenue is wide, and a row of soldiers in armor escort the grain and grass out.

The chariots, horses, and pedestrians stopped to look around, watching the team of soldiers and horses rushing to the front line leave.

After a long time, the passage in and out of this room finally reopened.

The guards shouted for everyone to come and line up, and one by one they streamed in.

"What are you doing?"

"Official, the villain went to the city to do some small business, this is the wild fruit I want to sell. ”

"Ten cents for the entrance tax, the next one. ”

"Official, the villain went into the city to find someone. ”

"Five Wens for the entrance tax, next. ”

......

Suddenly, the guard stopped, taking a serious look at the next person in his turn.

This is a burly, deep-seated middle-aged man, with short haircuts and bulging arms, and he knows at a glance that he is not an ordinary civilian.

The guard subconsciously shrank: "No...... No money. ”

The middle-aged man was Zhao Wuyan, and when he heard this, he raised his slightly hanging head, glanced at the soldier, and walked forward.

His steps were slow, and it took a long time to walk through the corridor below the city and enter the street.

The guard swallowed and said to his companion next to him, "What kind of person is this, it scared me to death." ”

"What's wrong?"

"You don't know, this person is definitely weird, either an alien or a monk, I can see it!"

"It's really strange, why are so many strange people gathering in our city recently...... Forget it, don't worry about this for now, the next one is coming. ”

“......”

Zhao Wuyan tilted his head slightly, his ears moved, and he continued to walk forward.

"The Recruiting Hall of Yanshan Castle ......"

He turned his head to look around, his eyes a little confused, but he still walked forward silently.

He had a dull temperament and didn't want to take the initiative to ask for directions, so he simply measured the city with his own footsteps and looked for the streets one by one.

The monk has a long physical strength, and he has eaten a big meal in the morning, and he has enough patience and physical strength.

......

Yanshan City is an important city in the southern Xinjiang of Xuanxin Kingdom, since the city lord raised troops and sought self-reliance, this city and its subordinate forces suddenly became exhausted, and passers-by were in a hurry, as if something invisible was driving them.

Zhao Wuyan, who was walking slowly, quickly attracted the attention of some ground snakes.

But looking at the other party's burly figure, as well as the appearance and temperament that he knew at a glance that he was not easy to provoke, the hooligans and ruffians on the street, and the petty thieves were all interested in not daring to go up and provoke.

At best, they are bullying the villagers who go into the city to do some small business, touching the money bags of passers-by, and avoiding strange people and people as far as they can.

Zhao Wuyan was also vaguely aware of those vague glances, but he didn't care at all, and continued to look for his goal.

Finally, after spending more than an hour, he found a luxurious wooden building nearly five feet high in the center of the city, near the city lord's mansion, located at the end of the street, and a huge signboard hung high on it.

"Recruiting Pavilion!"

This is exactly the place where the lord of Yanshan City spent money to build and used to recruit talents, with rich slaves and beautiful maids, all kinds of enjoyment, just to attract the people to be reckless and strong and strange people from all walks of life.

During the period when you come to sign up and have not yet been hired, you can temporarily live here and wait for news, and once you become an official doorman, you will be treated preferentially.

However, strange people are not white radishes in the market, and there may not be a few hires throughout the year, but there are many chickens and dogs, or martial arts warriors who have learned three or five years of martial arts.

Yanshan City plots big things, and it is not disliked, as long as there are a few skills, or a little famous, they will all be accepted.

Zhao Wuyan silently avoided his eyeliner and went around to the vicinity to release his divine sense to visit, but he didn't find any monk's breath, so he left first and went to a nearby inn to stay and rest.

When night fell, Zhao Wuyan, who was meditating in the guest room, suddenly opened his eyes, quietly rolled out of the window, landed in the courtyard, and immediately flew all the way to the wall, heading towards the Zhaoxian Hall that he had discovered during the day.

Although his perception ability is not strong, and his movements are relatively slow, it is still quite flexible and fast for monks of the same rank, and for mortals and ordinary monks.

Along the way, the divine sense visited, seeing the day as bright, and no one could detect it, and soon sneaked into the Zhaoxian Pavilion.

The lights in the building are bright, and the guests who temporarily live here are drinking and feasting, and the aroma of wine and meat is accompanied by the song of silk and bamboo strings, and there are men and women playing and laughing.

Zhao Wuyan was expressionless, and silently entered from the backyard where no one was looking.

But he did not kill or set fire to his servants when he came here, but silently found the place where his servants lived, and replaced them with incense.

Elegant places must use incense, vassal elegance, but also incense.

In particular, there are many singers and dancers in the Zhaoxian Pavilion, who usually lavender and bathe, dress up, and are inseparable from the use of spices.

Although Zhao Wuyan didn't know anything about incense, with Li Zhen's guidance, he still easily completed this task.

Unnoticed, the invisible incense dispersed, turning into a gray mist similar to the Divine Domain, but different from the Divine Domain.

In the haze, it spreads.

Then, Zhao Wuyan hid a brocade box in a hidden corner of the backyard and left here.

When he returned to the inn, he didn't meditate and practice, but just lay down and slept.

In a trance, Zhao Wuyan dreamed that he entered the city, wandering everywhere, looking for a place.

Then it was the scene that sneaked into the Zhaoxian Pavilion not long ago, replaced the spices, and placed the brocade box.

"Is this a dream?"

Zhao Wuyan came to his senses and muttered to himself.

"Yes, I'm using my dreams to check your memories, and what you see, I'm like I've seen with myself. ”

Li Zhen's voice sounded in the sky, and Zhao Wuyan raised his head violently, only to find that the black incarnation that Li Zhen had turned into was quietly suspended, like an immortal god overlooking the world, watching the previous scene.

With Zhao Wuyan's cooperation, it was quite easy for him to mobilize these impressive memories, which was the embodiment of Mengdao's thoughts day and night.

"Senior, is this okay?" Zhao Wuyan asked.

"You've done a great job, I've done a great job with you, I'll wait here for a few more days, and I'll come back to you when I can use you." ”

"Yes. ”

After Zhao Wuyan responded, he felt a trance and suddenly came to his senses.

There seems to be a lingering aroma in the nose, which is the smell of dreamy incense.

......

"This kind of ability, it seems quite convenient. ”

In another place, Li Zhen and the Ninth Princess hugged each other and slept together, but in fact, they had already smelled the fragrance and fell asleep, sneaking into the dream void with the ethereal and quiet dream fragrance, and then followed the spiritual connection that had just been established to the dream of the servants of the Zhaoxian Pavilion.

In the void here, several bubbles of various colors have appeared, one by one interpreting different dream scenes.

It was a mortal dream, naturally deduced by the flow of its own distractions, and if it was not interfered with, it would be a normal sleep.

Li Zhen and the Ninth Princess couldn't detect what was inside, but after sneaking in one by one, they quickly locked on to their target.

It was the place of a kitchen handyman with more active mental strength.

At this moment, this assistant chef has become a rich and noble official, a slender and enchanting beautiful singer in his left hand, and a charming female guest in the right hand, feeding grapes and wine with his mouth from time to time, enjoying it very much.

However, unlike the monk's dream, his dream was illusory and weak, like a reflection in the water, as if it was about to collapse on its own at any moment.

Seeing this, Li Zhen couldn't help laughing and said, "This person is ugly, but he wants to be beautiful!"

The ninth princess spit on her: "Lewd, disgusting!"

Li Zhen sighed lightly: "Dreaming can be regarded as a way to make up for the regrets in your heart, and it doesn't hurt people's lives and make money, what's so obscene and disgusting?"

In fact, Li Zhen is extremely sympathetic and understanding for this kind of person, because they are the bottom of this world, there is no way to improve, and there is no possibility of realizing their wishes.

Dreaming, it can be regarded as chatting.

"What's really sad is that this kind of person can't even dream!

Mortal dreams are uncontrollable, rooted in weak spiritual power, and may be distorted and collapsed at any time. ”

"No strength...... I can't even dream steadily, that's the greatest sorrow!"

The ninth princess was surprised, she didn't expect Li Zhen to say such a thing.

But when I think about it, it also makes sense.

Lay people have all kinds of common wishes, but if they only strive for their own struggles, or if they manifest themselves in dreams, without harming others or taking away the interests of others, what kind of evil can they do?

The previous spitting was indeed a bit nitpicking.

She was influenced by Li Zhen, and she also understood this sympathy a little.

Suddenly, there seemed to be waves in the dream, and the dream owner's own spirit fluctuated by chance, and he was about to confuse it.

The whole dream was suddenly chaotic, and no images could be seen clearly.

"Husband, this dream is about to collapse?" said the ninth princess in surprise.

With a wave of his hand, Li Zhen blessed his own spirit, and the powerful divine thoughts of the foundation building monk supported the entire dream world to maintain.

But this time, it shows the daily trivialities in the recruitment hall, which is what Li Zhen wants to see.

"Xiao Zhao, bring the sheep in the backyard over, let's slaughter it. ”

"Gong Tou, slaughtered sheep again today?"

"There's no way, those uncles upstairs are clamoring to eat a whole sheep feast all day long, can they still not give them food?"

"Alas, the uncles have big fish and meat every day, and the days are really good!"

......

"Xiao Zhao, there are two more uncles here today, good guys, one of them can breathe fire, and the other is infinitely powerful!"

"Tsk, they're all strangers, let's go over and see the excitement?"

"I'm just here to call you, let's go, let's open your eyes together!"

......

"Xiao Zhao, have you heard? Today, the alien uncle who will make the black wind has been recruited into the mansion and become a first-class guest! Wu Ji Yanni was favored by him and ordered to be a concubine! Tsk, I heard that the city lord also rewarded him with a mansion, a hundred taels of gold, and the treatment is really good!"

"What?, Yanni?" the cook was silent.

"Xiao Zhao, Xiao Zhao, why are your eyes red?Wow, you don't secretly like that Yanni, do you?hahahaha......"

......

Scene by scene, although the details are different, but it always seems to be repeated.

The ambition of the lord of Yanshan City did not arise by chance, and before the anti-flag was raised, this recruitment hall had been established for many years.

Chef Xiao Zhao has been working here for nearly five years, watching others rise tall buildings and banquet guests every day, and living an ordinary mortal life.

The excitement is someone else's, and he doesn't deserve it, because he's just a mortal.

A mortal who can't even dream clearly.

Li Zhen patiently mobilized his spirit, flipping through his hidden private memories.

Many of them are obscured even by the people involved, but the brain still acts as a faithful recorder, still digging them out of the depths of memory.

The world is constantly emerging.

The ninth princess looked a little bored, and hid herself with the help of the dream method, leaning on Li Zhen's side to accompany her.

She wasn't interested in knowing that much, so she didn't feel anything.

Li Zhen smelled all kinds of smells in the dream, but he seemed to have also experienced the seven emotions and six desires, joys, angers, sorrows, and joys of this person, and then suddenly realized that this was also a living person, a big living person with his own emotions and dreams.

It seems a bit unkind to do this, and some of the memories are that he himself doesn't want to recall. ”

Li Ji hesitated for a moment and said, "He doesn't care on the surface, but he really has a crush on that dancing girl." ”

The ninth princess was surprised: "Can this also be seen?"

Li Zhen said: "Of course, because that dream is the clearest and most real, almost with the texture of a clear dream, but his own consciousness is chaotic and he can't control himself at all." ”

The ninth princess said: "I see, I can even judge by this." ”

Li Zhen said: "Unconscious dreams are easy to judge, if it is a clear dream, it will not work, the monk can effectively control his mind, even if there are nine truths and one false, you can't distinguish where the key fake is, so the clear dream cannot be used as a basis for peeping in the dream and obtaining information." ”

He took the opportunity to exchange experiences with the Ninth Princess about his dream journey.

The time was about the same, and Li Zhen was also planning to leave.

There are not many things that this assistant chef Xiao Zhao can know, and he can only use it as a background reference, and Li Zhen has no intention of wasting time here.

But before leaving, suddenly felt something in his heart, and a spiritual power similar to the incense of the spirit of the faith was separated and stayed in this person's dream.

At the same time, the scene changes, rewinding the scene of his first encounter with the dancing girl Yanni.

It was an ordinary early morning, and Xiao Zhao led two sheep and a load of vegetables, preparing to return to the museum.

These are the things he buys for the back kitchen.

At the entrance of the Zhaoxian Pavilion, a row of singers and dancers were also being led by Ya Po, and they rushed in.

Those are the goods that the big butler brought to the museum.

Xiao Zhao stopped, and in the crowd, a beautiful girl seemed to feel something, and turned her head.

Seeing Xiao Zhao's stupid and stupid appearance, the girl couldn't help laughing, covering her mouth and laughing.

If life is only as it first seems......

Xiao Zhao was struck by lightning, and in the depths of his thoughts, there seemed to be an inexplicable emotional surge, which suddenly turned into a strong fragrance and emerged.

"Huh?"

Li Zhen, who was about to leave, suddenly stopped.
