The lights of the blue sea
"What do the guests need?" The three of them walked in and naturally attracted the attention of the people in the Bihai Pavilion, although there was no one in the Bihai Pavilion, they all looked at them, and Xiao Er came up and asked enthusiastically.
"I want to pick a lamp, the kind of lamp that I know, you don't know, others don't know and can't think of. Shangguan Yi said something that shocked everyone who heard it, what is the light that you know, Xiao Er doesn't know, others don't know and can't think of?
"This guest's needs are quite special, but I'm afraid there are no such lights in our store, at least I can't think of what you want, so why don't you wait for my master to come back and ask him?" Xiao Er was very professional After being stunned for a moment, he regained his calm, and calmly said something to Shangguan Yi, he also reacted, Shangguan Yi was telling him a code, so he also took Shangguan Yi's words, and didn't feel that Shangguan Yi was deliberately finding fault or something.
"I'm in a hurry, why don't you just wait for him here, buy it early and rest assured, I don't know if there is any place for us to sit for a while and bother for a while?" Shangguan Yi said again, quite vexatious.
"That's naturally there, the guest will go to the private room on the second floor with me and wait for a while, and the master will be back soon." Xiao Er became very respectful and said the last sentence to Shangguan Yi, made a gesture of please, and motioned for Shangguan Yi to go up to the second floor.
"Let's go. Shangguan Yi beckoned Hua Xiangrong to go upstairs with the little monk, and he didn't hear about the changes in Xiao Er.
"Did you go up to the second floor like this?" One of the few guests who picked up the items touched his chin and looked at Shangguan Yi's back with interest.
There are more than a dozen Bihai Pavilion in Kyoto, so this Bihai Pavilion doesn't seem to be anything special; there are dozens of silver buildings in Kyoto, so this one is not outstanding; but only people in the real circle know the true information of this one, this Bihai Pavilion was opened by a big man in Kyoto, of course he is not bad for money, he just does this to provide a stronghold, as for what kind of stronghold, he doesn't know, so he is investigating.
Yes, he is also the Tokaiwei who guards Kyoto, and he accidentally learned the news, so he pretended to have inadvertently found that the goods of this house are not bad, and he often comes to see them, and recommends them to others, and he has become a regular customer, and he wants to know what this Bihai Pavilion is doing and whether it will threaten the safety of Kyoto.
It's a pity that he has never grasped any handles, the circle is worthy of being a circle, and the people who can enter and exit the second floor of the Bihai Pavilion are not people he dares to move easily, or he only has one chance to do it, if he doesn't find anything enough for him to bring that person down, even if he is Donghaiwei, he won't have a second chance.
Maybe this time will be a good opportunity.
Of course, Shangguan Yi didn't know that someone was already secretly eyeing him, and after he went up to the second floor, he entered a private room under Xiao Er's arrangement, and then waited for the arrival of the intelligence division, as for the master here...... People may not want to see him, and he doesn't want to see each other, as long as he gets what he wants, it is enough, and everything else is only secondary.
"Shall we go out first?" Hua Xiangrong asked, she naturally guessed a little bit of the meaning of the conversation just now, I'm afraid it's a code, right? The next step is naturally to further confirm the identity, and then to exchange information, these things The two of them stay here, I'm afraid it's not appropriate.
"It's okay, we won't talk about anything too confidential, so it's okay for you to take a look. Shangguan Yi said with deep meaning, he intended to introduce the two of them into the door, of course, not to pull in Qingge, but to let them know the process of buying information in Qingge, and if there is a need in the future, they can solve some problems through Qingge.
"Okay. Hua Xiangrong vaguely understood what he meant, and he didn't refuse, after all, they always have to separate, and once they part, they should also leave a means of contact or something.
"Knock Knock"
Someone knocked on the door, but Shangguan Yi didn't pay attention, as if he hadn't heard it.
"Knock Knock"
The man knocked twice more, but Shangguan Yi still ignored it.
"Knock"
"Knock Knock"
"Knock Knock Knock"
"Knock Knock"
"Please come in. When the man knocked on the door for the sixth time, Shangguan Yi seemed to finally hear his knock and let him in.
"Hello sir, this is your tea. He put out the delicate tea sets in the tray in his hand one by one, and put them all in front of Shangguan Yi, but there was only one cup, a teapot, and a few dishes of pitiful refreshments that I don't know what they were, but the portion was small.
"......?" Shangguan Yi raised his eyes to look at him, with a little doubt.
"My master's rule, there is a pot of tea and four dishes of tea here, a pot of tea is four, a total of eight questions, you can only ask eight questions. After asking these eight questions, you can't buy information here for half a month, if you really have questions, with your permission, you can leave a message here, and we will convey it to the master and ask his opinion. He was actually shocked, six knocks on the door represented almost the highest guest authority, and then five knocks on the door, a pot of tea was six, a total of ten questions, and the cost was four folds. Of course, higher authority is not impossible, showing the identity of Qingge's official member, you can ask as many questions as you want, and you don't even have to spend money, if necessary, you can also leave from here with some money.
In fact, there are a lot of twists and turns, and if he is given time to knock on the door again, he will turn around and leave, and this time the deal will be canceled. Because this means that the other party is greedy and wants to raise power, but he is not worthy.
Over the years, there have been many people who have come here to buy information, but there are not many customers like him, and few people can have such high-authority Qingge customers.
"Oh, okay, the first question, what does it mean to have a little light on Bihai Pavilion?" Shangguan Yi didn't expect that there were such strange rules here, and he didn't want to give him silver, and he was really a big dog. He didn't actually know that the rules were like this, but in order to know more things, he needed more permissions, but it couldn't be too high, so he chose the second-level visitor permissions, but he didn't expect that he could only ask eight questions, which was enough.
"This question...... It's hard to answer, is there any more specific information?" the man asked, after a pause.
"What if I say no?" Shangguan Yi somewhat understood the trickiness of this matter, obviously the local people didn't know much about it.
"Then I can only guess, if it is wrong and delays the guest's affairs, please don't blame it. He first abused his responsibilities and said that he was free to guess, and it was up to you to decide whether he should trust him or not.
"Okay, just say it. Shangguan Yi readily agreed, the two of them are different, they don't know what to do because they have no ideas, and they don't know which one is right because they have too many ideas.
"There are more than a dozen Bihai Pavilion in Kyoto, although the name is not used casually, but as long as there is a certain background and influence, it is not impossible.
If you are looking for one of them, it must be different from the others. This different place is not easy to find, as almost every Bihai Pavilion has its own uniqueness. So my guess is that this difference may have something to do with the second clue in the conversation, a little light. But you know, the chances of a little light are very small, and at night, in our family, it's almost impossible, and the night is the norm.
So how to use this condition, it is still a little difficult, if you boldly speculate, this lamp does not refer to the ordinary lamp, but our unique blue sea glass lamp, everything may have an answer.
The blue sea glass lamp is actually a glass lamp, but there is a material found from the rare ore in the sea, you know, the sea ore is not yet able to be mined, so the production of the blue sea glass lamp is very small, its role is to guide the direction of the returning ship, not much used in Kyoto, only the roof outside the blue sea pavilion will be allowed to hang a few lights.
If you really want to find a suitable place, the first one is the abandoned Bihai Pavilion on the sea cliff outside the city, which is the first place called Bihai Pavilion that has been recorded, although it was later abandoned for some special reasons, but there are lights of the whole city there, and there is a blue sea glass lamp, which meets the conditions you said. It's just that even if it's abandoned, it's guarded and not allowed to enter.
In addition to this, on the 16th of every month, if it rains, the river in Kyoto will rise, of course, the key is that if the wind and rain are very strong and the night is very dark, according to the customary rules, the lights should be turned off, no matter what the lights are. Although it is not mandatory, in order to pray for peace, every household will do so according to this rule, and it is almost without exception, and that day is also the night of the city that never sleeps. He paused here and gave Shangguan Yi a moment to think.
"A little light on the Bihai Pavilion may refer to standing on the Bihai Pavilion and looking at the whole city in such a dark night, looking for a little light, and the place where the light is lit is the place I am looking for?" Shangguan Yi speculated.
"Yes! That's what I meant. "The informant was a little excited.
"Do you have any other ideas?" Shangguan Yi frowned, this condition depends too much on luck, if it is not right, it will waste a lot of time, although the latest sixteenth is the day after tomorrow.
"It's not nothing, it's just a little troublesome, it involves royal matters, and it's better to be cautious to remind you. The informant's tone was a little cautious.
"Say it. Shangguan Yi made a little mental preparation and looked into his eyes.
"In the royal mausoleum, there is a blue sea and blue sky and bright moon lamp that has not been extinguished since it was lit, and it can be seen from an angle in the abandoned blue sea pavilion, but there must be someone guarding that place. And you know, watching the cemetery is a big crime, enough for the whole city, the whole country to hunt down and kill, after all, the blue sea and blue sky and bright moon lamp protect the dragon energy of the royal family, although it is a legend, but you must not be afraid, it is indeed a lot of people sensitive nerves. The informant threw out another piece of exciting news.
"The light that has never been extinguished, when did it come on?" Shangguan Yi's expression was a little more nervous, no one would be so bored to keep a light never extinguished, and it has been so many years, existence is reasonable, there must be a deep meaning behind this.
"The moment the East China Sea was established, on the day the emperor announced its establishment, the lamp was lit, and no matter what wind and rain it has experienced, it has never been extinguished, because this is no less than the conclusion given by ten Feng Shui masters, when the blue sea and blue sky and bright moon lamp are extinguished, the fortune of the East China Sea will fall, and the land will be eroded by war, and it will no longer belong to the people of this land. The more the intelligence master talked, the more cautious he became, he wanted Shangguan Yi to know the seriousness of this matter.
"Hey, if you dare to fight it, wouldn't you be hunted down and killed by the entire East China Sea?" Shangguan Yi's neck is a little cold, Huichen old bald donkey won't be so ruthless, right?
"That's right. "The intelligence officer is very happy that Shangguan Yi can recognize this clearly.
"Blue sea, blue sky and bright moon lamp, what is the origin of this lamp?" Shangguan Yi frowned, if there is really such a thing as luck, although Dong Sponge Yan has undergone various major changes over the years, his national strength has never weakened to the point where he is in a situation like the current Zhongzhen, and every time he declines, there are always talented people to turn the tide, such as Jun Yishen. Can this be understood as having the lamp in it......?
"This is the second question, the answer is that I don't know, all the books that are more closely related to it are not allowed to be left behind, its production method is rumored to have been destroyed the moment it was made, its maker was a group of top craftsmen of that era, and its designer was a hidden force known as the genius of ghosts and gods. Do you know what the concept is?" the intelligence officer looked at Shangguan Yi, passed the first question, and moved on to the second.
"It's unique, it's unique, it's hard to reproduce, it's the only one in the world. Shangguan Yi took a deep breath, he really wanted to make a cemetery that was thrown into Zhongzhen, and bless Zhongzhen's national spirit, but now it seems that it is impossible.
"Exactly. The informant said with a little praise that this man was very perceptive, quite perceptive.
"The third question, what is the situation of the Demon Dao and the forces related to the Demon Dao in the East China Sea?" Shangguan Yi changed the topic, since it is impossible to get it, then don't think about it again, as long as he works hard enough, he can find a similar but different way to achieve it in Zhongzhen in the future, if the four countries can suppress the national spirit and stabilize the balance of fortune, will the world be able to slowly become peaceful?
"I don't know. The informant gave this answer very simply.
"What do you mean I don't know? Qingge can't find out the details of them?" Shangguan Yi frowned, he was naturally afraid that the Demon Sect would yin him, after all, this was not the Great Bright Temple, there might not be reinforcements to help them, everything depended on themselves.
"Some time ago, Lord Jun Yishen was assassinated outside, and the emperor was furious, and ordered to purge the demonic forces in Kyoto, and all those who harbored and did not report it were punished for treason!
I think you should understand what this means, right?" said the intelligence officer carefully, although he said it strictly, but Shangguan Yi and the three of them still felt the domineering spirit of the new emperor of the East China Sea.
Martial arts and the imperial court are two worlds, and there was an agreement a long, long time ago that they would not interfere too much in each other's affairs. The Demon Dao and the Righteous Dao are opposites, they fight to the death in the martial arts, the court will not interfere much, the court will fight between them, and the people in the martial arts cannot interfere, although each has some cats at the bottom, but on the surface they have never torn up the agreement.
This time, the Lord of the East China Sea issued such a summoning order in a fit of anger was enough to shock the entire martial arts, of course, the righteous path side was naturally applauding, and the demon path side was bitter. After all, this is the East China Sea, the East China Sea in the stage of rapid rise, and the East China Sea where the Great Bright Temple sits is not the Zhongzhen that sets in the west and is difficult to protect.
"Well done!" Shangguan Yi exclaimed, the enemy of his enemy was his friend, at least at this moment, he was very happy, at least the demon Dao personnel who still existed in Kyoto did not dare to show their heads easily.
"Yes, all of us are trembling a little, and the information we know is like pouring beans from a bamboo tube, and we pour it out all in one go, and we don't dare to hide it. "The intelligence officer said a little self-deprecatingly that in front of the East China Sea, they are still too weak.
"Actually, it's pretty good, if there is no restraint, the people will be very sad if they violate the ban with martial arts, each has its own advantages and disadvantages, at least Qingge will not be included in the unwelcome list, which is enough. Shangguan Yi looked at the intelligence division lightly, with some embarrassment.
"It's true, it's just ......" The intelligence officer is a little strange, how can this guy's attitude have the meaning that he is the manager of Qingge?
"What's wrong?" Shangguan Yi looked at him a little curiously.
"No, nothing, what's the next question?" the informant shook his head, putting that little doubt behind him.
"Oh, I remember you didn't say you were going to ask all eight questions at once. Shangguan Yi smiled, very cunning.
"This ......" The intelligence officer narrowed his eyes, and glanced at Shangguan Yi again, he knew what loopholes and traps there were in his own rules, but these customers didn't think about it so much, because every opportunity to come to Qingge was precious, of course, it was also because they didn't have so many opportunities to ask questions, and there was no need to think about it so much.
"Huh?" Shangguan Yi smiled.
"Yes, but don't you really plan to finish asking all at once?" The intelligence officer is helpless, very cunning, no wonder he has such a high authority, such qualifications, and temperament, and the bosses should also want to show favor.
"No need, please transfer this thing for me, and if you want to settle the accounts, you can settle them together when I come next time." Shangguan Yi took out a piece of jade pendant, well, the one that Huichen gave him, and put it on the tray.
