Chapter 356
The monk guarding the city had never seen Qin Zheng, but he knew Wang Yimu next to him, and when he saw his courteous appearance, he knew that the identity of the monk at the head was not ordinary, and he didn't dare to hold them up, so he let them in directly, and secretly sent someone to the city lord's mansion to report.
"Steward Wang still has a lot of face," Qin Zheng said with a smile on his face as he walked into the city.
"Where is my face, the news that the young pavilion master is coming has been notified," the smile on Wang Yimu's face stiffened, leading Qin Zheng towards the city.
"It's festive here," Qin Zheng looked at the city, his eyes were red, and there seemed to be couplets and red lanterns hanging at the doors of each shop, and he seemed to be surprised to see this group of people entering the city, but his face was full of smiles, discussing with the people next to him.
"Oh, this Tongling City preserves the habits of mortals to the greatest extent, and it will be the New Year in a few days, so it will naturally be lively," Wang Yimu explained.
"I see," Qin Zheng nodded, "Then you have to have a good experience." ”
"The customs of the New Year in the mortal world are the same every year, and if the young pavilion master wants to see it, he can come over at any time," Liang Feng walked leisurely from the opposite side and bowed his hand, "I don't know if the young pavilion master is coming, and I will miss the welcome." ”
"It's okay, I just received a notice suddenly," Qin Zheng bowed slightly, "Master instructed me to come to Tongling City to check it out." ”
"Naturally, there is no problem," Liang Feng made a gesture of invitation, "However, this past year has been every nine years, why is it much earlier this time, but what's the matter?
"It's 998 soon, and it just so happens that something happened in the mortal realm of Tongling, and there is no result, so he asked me to come over and check it out," Qin Zheng followed the direction he pointed and paced slowly.
"Also, it should be that the sect is not at ease," the smile on Liang Feng's face remained unchanged.
"I'm in Tongling these days, so the master simply sent me over to check, and the young city lord doesn't have to worry too much," Qin Zheng turned his head slightly, "I see that the people in this city are simple and simple, which shows that the Liang family is well governed." ”
"It should be praised by the pavilion master, but he has done his part," Liang Feng did not have any pride because of his words, but felt a trace of unhappiness.
Tongling City has always been in charge of the Liang family, and he has been taught since he was a child that this place is owned by the Liang family, but Qin Zheng's words are like the master's family praising the servants who work under him.
"This is the City Lord's Mansion," Liang Feng's displeasure in his heart was not revealed, and he pointed to the quaint mansion in front of him and said.
"Speaking of which, it's the first time I've been here," Qin Zheng glanced up.
The city wall is blue-gray, more than two meters high, compared to the general city lord's mansion, it is not too high, the top of the city wall is guarded with a bead at intervals, it looks like a night pearl, and there are also two hanging on the bolt of the house door.
The plaque of the castle lord's mansion is not made of wood, but is directly carved from the same blue-gray stone, which is simple and atmospheric.
"If you can, the young pavilion master will definitely stay for a while. Liang Feng said politely.
"Then bother, I'm quite interested in the mortals in the city, and I want to go around," Qin Zheng was not polite, and said along with his words, "There are still beads on the door on this wall, is it the pearl of the night?"
Liang Feng choked in his heart, he didn't expect him to really stay here, but he didn't mention it anymore, and Liang Feng didn't want to say anything more, "Exactly, the young pavilion master has good eyesight." ”
"This decoration is special," Qin Zheng seemed to be a little surprised, and stepped forward to take a closer look.
"Oh, my ancestor is the ancestor who rebuilt the ancient city of Tongling, and his favorite is the Night Pearl, plus at that time, the Weiming Sea retreated, and a lot of them could be picked up on land, so they were all left for decoration," Liang Feng explained, "Not only here, but also the Liang family's industry, the most decorative thing is the Night Pearl." ”
"I see," Qin Zheng nodded, and just as the door in front of him opened, he raised his feet and walked inside.
Liang Feng is indeed not exaggerating, almost every room and every small door in the City Lord's Mansion is decorated with night pearls, large or small, dotted with different decorations, you can imagine what the night is like.
"I've heard it for a long time, the night view of Tongling City is a must, it must be related to this night pearl, right?" Qin Zheng went all the way to the waiting room, and saw Liang Yong, who was waiting, who was also the city lord at this time, followed by two female guards and Wang Yimu to go in, and the rest were waiting outside.
"The young pavilion master guessed correctly, if you are interested, you must go out for a walk at night," Liang Yong got up and saluted without being humble or arrogant, and stood on the seat next to him, actually to give up the main seat to Qin Zheng.
"The city lord has tormented me, you are a senior," Qin Zheng would not be reckless in such a small place, and welcomed Liang Yong back to the top.
"The young pavilion master is young and promising, and in a few years, he will be the same age as me," the strength of the Xuanling Realm is respected, and when Qin Zheng is promoted to the rank of Yuanying, what is he, the city lord, is now, he is just pressing on his cultivation.
"It's still early, the city lord praised it," Qin Zheng waited for him to sit down, and he also sat down, Liang Feng sat opposite, "The young city lord is talented and intelligent, and he has always been praised for having the charm of the ancestor, and it is unknown whether he can reach the height of his old man," Liang Feng is the most talented monk of the Liang family in these years, so he was determined to be the young city lord early.
"Let's not praise each other," Liang Feng suddenly spoke, "There is a definite number for the monk's business." ”
"That's right, what the young city lord said," Qin Zheng smiled and nodded.
"Young Pavilion Master Qin Zheng came here this time just to investigate Tongling City?" Liang Yong beckoned his attendants and came up with a cup of spiritual tea, and the whole room was suddenly fragrant.
"Master suddenly ordered, don't dare not disobey, of course, just come here for a walk, with the surrounding garden," Qin Zheng picked up the spiritual tea that came up, took a sip, his mouth was fragrant, and couldn't help but sigh, "Good tea!"
"This spiritual tea is also grown in the tea gardens around the city, and the young pavilion master likes it, so he will bring a little bit by the way when he goes to see it. ”
Liang Yong is not surprised, no matter whether he can find anything or not, in short, he has to walk all over every time he comes, but he doesn't know why this young pavilion master came over suddenly, obviously it is not yet time to inspect, it seems that he still needs to take care of it.
"Then you're welcome, I've thanked the city lord in advance," Qin Zheng bowed his hand.
"Wherever you want to say thank you, it's all small things," Liang Yong also picked up the teacup, as if he saluted him from afar.
"City Lord, the guest room has been arranged!"
The voice of the waiter came from outside the door, Liang Yong looked out, and then looked at Qin Zheng, "This time I am in a hurry, the guest room left for the monks in the pavilion has just been cleaned, if you are not satisfied, just bring it up." ”
"The monk is outside, there is a convenient place to walk, where do you need to be so particular," Qin Zheng smiled, "In this case, I will take my people to settle down first." ”
"It's okay, after a day's journey, you must be tired, let Liang Feng take you to rest for a while, if you want to come out at night, you can also go to him," Liang Yong got up, "His yard is not far from you." ”
"Thank you for the city lord's kindness," Qin Zheng also got up, and the two guards and Wang Yimu followed behind.
"Then I'll take the young pavilion master over," Liang Feng came to his side, parallel to him, "The guest house is not far from here, a few steps away." ”
The guards who came to report walked in the front, half a step ahead, followed by Liang Feng and Qin Zheng, followed by the twelve guards brought by Qin Zheng, and the group walked towards the guest house.
This guest house was specially prepared by the Liang family for the monks who came to inspect the Tianji Pavilion, although it is not often open, but it has been retained.
"Young City Lord, please go back, I'll go in by myself," Qin Zheng looked at the flower-filled courtyard, he shouldn't have bothered to dress up, and the night pearl was also just right, "I'm also bothering you this day." ”
"Then Qin Zheng Young Pavilion Master, please take care of yourself," Liang Feng saluted and went back with the leading guards.
"I'll open the door for you," Wang Yimu went over and opened the door of the guest house, he had been here a few times, and he was quite familiar with it.
"It's beautiful here," Qin Zheng stepped in, looking at the guest house.
The surrounding walls are full of vines, with small flowers blooming on them, and among the stamens are small pearls of the night, which should be fake at this time of year, but they are still realistic.
In the middle of the courtyard was a small two-story building, the door on the first floor was wide open, apparently a guest house, and the second floor was a residence for the monks, but there were only three rooms, and the whole building was extremely exquisite.
There are two small wooden buildings side by side on the left, with a total of three floors, which looks simpler, and should be for the guards, which is not bad.
"Steward Wang will live in the attic with me," Qin Zheng looked at Wang Yimu.
"Oh, the young pavilion master has tormented me, how can I have this qualification," Wang Yimu said in fear, "The small building next to it is enough, this attic is still left to you alone!"
"It's okay, there must be one person left to obey orders," Qin Zheng raised his feet and walked up.
"How can I be used for this, it's still your two female guards," Wang Yimu avoided Qin Zheng, for fear that he would see something, how could he stay next to him, "If there is anything, you can call me at any time." ”
"It's okay," Qin Zheng seemed to think about it and nodded, "Then you two go up with me, and the others can find a place for yourself." ”
After he finished speaking, he went up to the second floor with two female guards.
The middle room was fully furnished, even the desks were prepared, Qin Zheng went over to open the window, and saw the guards going up to the small building next to him.
"How?"
"I don't see anything, but there are a lot of night pearls," Mo Ghost looked around, even the lights in the room were made of night pearls, and they were equipped with a black cover, as long as they were covered, there would be no light.
"Indeed, there are thousands of pieces we have seen along the way," Qin Zheng turned his head and saw another 'female cultivator' sitting on the chair, bowing his head and chuckling.
Mo Ghost followed his line of sight, looked at the puffing Wu Yan, and coughed lightly.
"What are you laughing at?" Wu Yan raised his head and kept pouting, "It's not that you want me to be like this, you say that I am a monk, what kind of body do I look like this!" he said, awkwardly pulling the Taoist robe on his body.
"Isn't this also a helpless move?" Mo Ghost went over and patted him on the shoulder, "I can't be the only female guard. ”
"Then why don't you let anyone else come?" he slapped the table without anger.
"It's inconvenient for anyone to come," Mo Ghost reached out and touched his hair, which was made of real hair, and it was glued to the top of his head with a special potion, "Anyway, you have to wear a hood, aren't men and women all the same?"
"What's the same!" Wu looked at her viciously, "You just see me as a bully!"
"How come?" Mo Ghost comforted him, "It's really because you're more convenient, you said let Zhen Hao come, that body shape is not right!"
Wu Yan thought about Zhen Hao's appearance and shivered, as if it was too.
"Don't worry about this, let's come here to check things," Mo Ghost quickly changed the topic, "Tell me quickly, do you see anything?"
"No, it's all normal," he said, leaning on the table.
"Naturally, I can't see anything on the surface, and I have to dig hard," Qin Zheng walked over and sat down, "But what did you find in the City Lord's Mansion... The odds are unlikely. ”
"This is the Liang family's base camp, it would be strange if something could be discovered," Mo Ghost pointed his finger on the table, "The Liang family doesn't look so stupid. ”
"Then what are we doing here?" There was no resentment on his face, he was also wearing women's clothes, if the master knew about it, he would definitely laugh off his big teeth!
"No anger, it doesn't matter if we find it or not, the important thing is what the Liang family thinks we have discovered," Mo Ghost patted him on the shoulder and touched his hair, not to mention, it was quite soft.
"Huh?" The little monk reacted for a while, "Then what are you going to do?"
"I don't know yet, I have to walk around for a while, I haven't seen all of the City Lord's Mansion now," Mo Ghost licked his lips, "Not to mention the place where the Liang family monks live." ”
"The Liang family's mansion, the most secret is the ancestral hall, I don't know if there is a chance to see it," Qin Zheng said.
"If you don't have a chance, you have to find a chance, even if it's a particularly obvious excuse, our trip is to make the Liang family suspicious," Mo Ghost raised his eyebrows and said to Qin Zheng, "I remember, every time mortals have to worship their ancestors after the New Year, the Liang family also has this habit, it shouldn't be strange for us to follow in, right?"
"Well, it's okay," Qin Zheng's hand paused slightly.
"Heh, people worship their ancestors in the past, what about us?" the little monk looked at Qin Zheng strangely, "Is this excuse okay?"
"The ancestor of the Liang family, Gao Feng Liangjie, is really a model for my generation of monks, and the younger generation has admired it for a long time, so he came to worship," Qin Zheng said extremely naturally, "This excuse is indeed good." ”
No Anger: ......
"But it seems that there is something inappropriate to take us in like this," Mo Ghost frowned slightly, thinking about countermeasures.
Qin Zheng's eyes moved slightly, "I came here on this trip, and I specially brought the scriptures copied by the senior monks to express my heart." ”
Mo Ghost blinked, so he could bring one person in, but the question was, "Where did we find the Buddhist scriptures?"
Qin Zheng smiled slightly and looked at Wu Yan.
