Chapter 37: Book Gifts

I said softly, "Congratulations to Brother Xiao and sister-in-law Xiao, your body has finally recovered." ”

Xiao Sheng said: "Thank you! This is all the credit of your brother, but it is too early to say that I have recovered, and my stubborn disease will not be cured for a while." After saying that, he sighed.

I said happily: "Brother Xiao, looking at your mental condition, you are not far from recovery." ”

Xiao Sheng said: "Thanks to Brother Zhang's blessings, I hope so!"

Huang Ling'er comforted Xiao Sheng and said, "With Brother Zhang's Dan, we will definitely be fine." ”

I changed the topic and said to Xiao Sheng: "Brother Xiao, the Seven Star Inn has been sealed, you must know this, right?"

When Xiao Sheng heard this, he was not surprised.

He calmly said to me, "Brother Zhang. I don't know about the closure, but I expected it. ”

I looked at Xiao Sheng in amazement.

Xiao Sheng turned his head to his wife and said, "Ling'er, you go outside to see the movement, and I'll talk to my little brother about something." ”

Jiang Ziyi also took Xiao Yu's hand playfully and said, "Xiao Yu, let's go out to play too, and I'll tell you a story." Or I'll guess the riddle with you. ”

Xiao Yu said: "That's good, I can also guess the lantern riddle!"

Jiang Ziyi said: "Then I'll tell you one!"

Xiao Yu said: "No, no, no, I'll say it first." A little white dove from the south, flying and falling...... Sister, guess what?"

Jiang Ziyi said: "It's catkins ......"

Xiao Yu said: "No......"

"What is that? Xiao Yu, you can announce the answer!" Jiang Ziyi deliberately couldn't guess.

Xiao Yu said proudly: "I won't say it, sister, guess ...... again"

They talked about it, and their voices went away.

After the three of them left, Xiao Sheng closed the door and sat down next to me.

Why is Xiao Sheng so cautious?

I watched him silently, waiting for his next step.

Xiao Sheng said softly: "Ever since the Snake Dao Humane Breakthrough Machine, I know that the Seven Star Inn will definitely not give up. This Seven Star Inn spans several realms, so its roots are very deep. ”

Fortunately, I have some understanding of the so-called "Three Realms", but it does not span several realms that I expected, and do we have it in our society today?

Xiao Sheng said again: "The Seven Star Inn is not an ordinary inn at first glance, it may not be visible on the surface, it is loose on the outside and tight on the inside, but in fact, it hides dirt and dirt inside, not only the people who live there are mixed people, but also the people who manage it and the second guy or something, they are not good birds." ”

I said, "Such people can make the inn good, and what's the benefit of being them?"

Xiao Sheng suddenly asked me: "Brother, you don't know, don't look at their personnel, but their discipline is very strict. ”

Xiao Sheng paused for a moment and asked me, "Do you know what the biggest advantage of opening an inn is?"

I pondered for a moment and said, "The best thing is....... More people contacted, more information received"

Xiao Sheng said: "Brother, you are only partially right, the Seven Star Inn has opened branches all over the country, in fact, it is an intentional layout, one is to collect a large amount of information, and the other is that they are waiting for the opportunity to move, and they are in full bloom, which makes people unguardable." ”

I said, "Could it be that the Seven Star Inn wants to rebel?

"The court wanted to ask, but it was more than enough to do it. Just imagine, if a small bag appears on the emperor's pillow for several days in a row, all of them are excerpts in the hope of opening the Seven Star Inn, do you say that the emperor will get out of the way or not?" Xiao Sheng looked at me and said.

I thought to myself, "This threat is too naked." Isn't the Emperor at all?"

Xiao Sheng continued: "The palace is already heavily guarded, and the emperor's whereabouts are relatively secret, unless a few eunuchs are close to him to know where the emperor lives at night. After this happened, more Imperial Forest troops were mobilized, but it still didn't help, and what was even more terrifying was that many military ministers also received similar tips, most of these people were weak and afraid of death, so they jointly played, and the emperor took the opportunity to agree. ”

I was puzzled and asked, "Brother Xiao, are there no strange people in the palace?"

Xiao Sheng sighed: "It's not that there are strange people, it's hard to say whether they are doing their best or not." And most of them are shallow, but compared to those who are in charge of the Seven Star Inn, it is a big deal. ”

"Isn't the Emperor afraid of the Seven Star Inn rebellion?" I couldn't help but ask.

In fact, the emperor also has this concern, but it is also very clear in the bag that they are willing to cooperate with Dongchang to help them find out the news, arrest fugitives, and eliminate dissidents. Xiao Sheng said.

I asked, "The emperor finally believed it?"

Xiao Sheng said: "This is also the alliance under the city, if you don't believe it, then the god will send the bag unknowingly, and replace it with a knife? But later the Seven Star Inn did a lot of things for the imperial court, and the imperial court let it develop." ”

Xiao Sheng then said: "The most ridiculous thing is that the so-called people who settle in the inn ensure safety. ”

I was puzzled and asked, "What's in this one?"

"Hehe, if it is a key criminal arrested by the imperial court, staying in the inn is undoubtedly drinking to quench thirst and throwing himself into the net, seven days later, when the official arrangement stops, he will be arrested when he comes out. If it is a family of rivers and lakes, if it can be collected for its own use, it will be taken away, and if it has use value, it will be used. and those who carry treasures are taken by force......"

I think that Xiao Sheng's words do make sense.

I couldn't help but feel numb on my scalp, but I didn't want to interrupt Xiao Sheng's words, so I nodded in affirmation.

Xiao Sheng continued: "So someone disappeared in the inn for no reason, and if there is a crime in the Seven Star Inn, if you break the rules of the inn or something, you can take the person down logically." ”

If you want to add sin, why should you do it?

I said, "Brother Xiao, do you know who is in charge of this Seven Star Inn?"

Xiao Sheng said: "The owner of the Seven Star Inn is the biggest fan, even many masterminds have never seen it. They are tightly organized, they are divided into two systems, one is open to the outside world, called the outer hall, and the outer hall is divided into the sky and the earth, the day is the leader of the place, the smaller the number represents his higher level. One is inward, the inner hall, that is, the account room, and the people in charge of each small courtyard, as well as those who care for the courtyard, and so on. The inn is in contact with the above, and the messenger is responsible for contacting the branches. ”

I said, "The inner hall and the outer hall are two systems, who leads whom?"

I regretted it after I said it, and that's too naΓ―ve to ask.

Xiao Sheng didn't think about it and said, "Every Seven Star Inn has a captain, who is the head of the local inn. The advantage of their inner and outer halls is that they cooperate with each other and contain each other."

Xiao Sheng said so much in a row, I have a general understanding of the Seven Star Inn, but I wonder why he knows so much about the details of the Seven Star Inn.

Xiao Sheng said: "Brother, you wonder why I know so much, right? Actually, if you want to know one of my experiences, you will understand. ”

I let out an "um" and thought to myself, "Is Xiao Sheng's injury from the Seven Star Inn?"

Xiao Sheng suddenly narrowed his eyes and returned to his memory.

Xiao Sheng said to me in a dreamy voice: "That was a few years ago, Huang Ling'er and I became a fairy partner, traveling all over the world, and there was no quarrel with the world, how happy it was. Later, Uchiko gave birth to Xiao Yu, which added a lot of happiness to our lives. We decided to find a secluded place and raise Xiao Yu as an adult. Who knows, when the tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, one of my brothers, Disheng Qifei, suddenly visited me. ”

I thought to myself: "He is Xiao Sheng, and there is another Di Sheng, is there anyone else with a similar title to theirs?"

Xiao Sheng paused and explained, "The Three Realms I mentioned may be different from your cognition, but in fact, our realm is called the 'Chaos Realm', which integrates all walks of life. We have the "Four Sages of Music and Rhythm", that is, "Xiao Sheng, Di Sheng, Qin Sheng, Drum Sheng", in fact, it was not called this name, but my name has not changed, "Di Sheng" was originally called Di Jun, Qin Sheng was originally called Qin Xian, and Drum Sheng was originally called Drum Emperor. I don't know which good deed person has involved us together. I have the best friendship with Di Sheng, and I am also the most compatible with him in terms of rhythm, and the so-called 'mountains and flowing water' is nothing more than that. That day, Di Sheng hurriedly found me, very mysteriously handed me a piece of soft armor, which seemed to be under the giant tortoise shell, Di Sheng solemnly said to me, "This is an ancient treasure, only the fate of the person to live in, he treasured it for many years, did not find a person related to the soft armor, so let me look for its new owner." ”

Xiao Sheng: My first thought: "Is this armor piece from the legendary turtle? It holds up the sky with its four claws."

Xiao Sheng said: "I opened the nail piece, there is nothing peculiar about this nail piece, it is spread out the size of two adult palms. But there's nothing on it, let alone text graphics. I asked Di Sheng again, what is the fate of this thing?"

Di Sheng said: "He doesn't know the specifics of this, and it is estimated that there will be significant changes after people are destined to come into contact with it." Because he has never encountered the Flute Saint, he has not said where this thing came from. I see that you are kind-hearted and blessed little brother, so I want to ask you to give it a try. ”

I thought to myself: "I have no intention of these so-called rare treasures, nor do I want to make a name for myself in the dream world, not to mention, I also carry a jade box in my arms." So he said politely: "Thank you, Brother Xiao, I have a shallow fortune, and I have no intention of doing this, so I still don't try." ”

My refusal was obviously out of Xiao Sheng's expectations, as if he were looking at a monster. Said: "Life in the world, only 'fate' is hard to find, since you say so, I shouldn't have forced you anymore, but I suddenly have a strong premonition that you and it should be close to fate." ’”

I couldn't bear to brush off his kindness anymore, and at the same time I couldn't help but be curious, and said, "Just ask Brother Xiao to show it." ”

Xiao Sheng took out a white-wrapped object from his bosom and carefully unfolded it.

Inside the white thickness, there is a piece of armor like fish scales, faintly glowing.

I was a little disappointed that the soft armor appeared in front of me. In my opinion, this thing is extremely inconspicuous, like a piece of black oilskin paper.

Xiao Sheng picked up the soft armor, handed it to me with both hands, and said, "Brother, take a closer look, is there anything peculiar about it?"

I respectfully took the soft armor with both hands, put it in the palm of my hand, and looked at it carefully.

A breath of extreme cold, through my skin, penetrated into my heart, and I couldn't help but shiver.

I couldn't help but think to myself, "This thing is really evil, why is it so cold?"
