In a secluded mansion somewhere in Tianyu city.
The building surface in the yard looks very old. The paint on many doors and windows has peeled off. Thick dust is accumulated everywhere. The ground is full of withered and yellow leaves. It seems that no one has lived for a long time.
However, from the scale and layout of the whole house, as well as the exquisite details on the cornices and arches, it seems that it is the former residence of a large family with a lot of identity, especially the magnificent gold medal plaque of "infinite heaven and earth" in front of the main house. It can be seen that the identity of the former owner here should be different.
At this time, dusk will pass and the sky will darken.
A handsome man in his thirties, dressed in a moonlight robe and wrapped with a silver cloth belt on his forehead, stopped and stood in the courtyard, his eyes closed, as if feeling something.
This person is Liu'an who entered the city with Shi mu.
The evening wind blew his face, blowing up his long blood colored hair and dancing in the wind.
A moment later, Liu an opened his eyes, his eyes as calm as water, looked around silently, walked towards a wing room on the east side, and directly pushed the door in.
The room is quite spacious. It is divided into two parts from the middle. There are all kinds of beds, tables and chairs. The furnishings are simple but elegant.
Liu An went directly to the inside, reached out and pressed at a certain position at the head of the bed and turned again.
There was a dull click.
The wall behind him suddenly cracked from the middle, revealing a dark passage that seemed to lead to the underground.
Liu An didn't hesitate. As soon as he was a flower, he disappeared into the channel.
The passage was not long. Soon, a dark and bright secret room appeared in front of him.
This is a small secret room with a radius of several feet. There is no decoration except a supply table in the middle.
In the dim light of the two candles on the supply table, you can see the shadow of five people sitting on both sides of the secret room.
After Liu An walked in, these people stood up one after another, but they were three men and two women.
The three men were a burly man in black with a red face, a fat businessman, and a young man with short silver hair.
Two women, one wearing a veil, tall, the other petite and exquisite, dressed in red.
"Elder martial brother!"
The five people saluted Liu Angong and said in unison.
Liu An walked straight in front of the five people without saying a word and walked to the offering table in the middle of the secret room. At this time, he was full of cold breath.
On the tribute table is a black Holy Card engraved with four seal characters "Oriental Xian Tian".
A dull bang.
Liu An knelt down heavily in front of the tribute table, and the silver cloth belt wrapped around his forehead was torn off, revealing a bloody crescent moon like a hook in the middle of his forehead.
The other three men and two women also came behind Liu An and knelt down.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the secret room became dull.
"Master, although martial uncle disagreed, I came."
"This time, I will make them pay the price."
"When the ghost king of Luotian returns to the world, let the blood of these geniuses sprinkle all over Yucheng, and use their souls to mourn your spirit in heaven!" Liu An said so in front of the spirit card, and then knocked three heads heavily.
"Lord, rest in peace!"
Behind him, the other five kowtowed with Liu An, and each face looked solemn.
……
It's night, west of Tianyu city.
At the top of a hill hundreds of feet high, a golden palace with the largest scale is quite eye-catching.
The temple is shrouded by a layer of seven colored clouds during the day. At night, the golden light is in full bloom. Everywhere in the city, you can see the golden streamer rising in the night.
This is a sect set up by Tongtian immortal sect in Tianyu city.
Tongtian immortal cult, as the state religion of Lushan Dynasty, has branch religions in all cities, and the branch religion in Tianyu city is undoubtedly the largest place and the place where the grand ceremony of immortality promotion is held.
As for where the immortal cult altar where the leader is located, there are different opinions.
Some people say that it is in the Sanqing mountains stretching for thousands of miles. Some people say that the discipline of Tianyu city is actually where the general altar is located. Some even say that the general altar is on an island floating out of thin air.
But one thing is certain, that is, every time on the eve of the grand ceremony, the immortal cult leader will come to Tianyu city to personally preside over the grand ceremony.
At this time, in a side hall of the golden palace.
An old man in blue Bagua Taoist clothes sat on the main seat.
The old man has white hair and a childlike face. He is hale and hearty. He looks like a fairy and has a sense of dust.
On his right hand side, a thin, pale little boy sat in a chair, his expression seemed to have a sense of sub Bureau promotion.
On the other side, there stood a dignified middle-aged man, who was the congenital leader of Shi Mu's team, but he also changed into a blue Bagua Taoist robe at this time.
"Hong'er, you have suffered all these years. I've also heard about your previous experiences, but when you arrive at Tianyu City, you should be at your own home. Don't make yourself at home. You should have a good rest these days. In seven days, you can see your ancestor, Zhu Chenzhong, going up to heaven. " Tao convinced the old man to be kind.
The little boy didn't speak and nodded skillfully.
After the old man said a few words, he called two young Taoists and helped the little boy back.
"Send someone to tell Lu Shanren that hong'er is a descendant of an immortal and must be properly placed... Let's make him a prince with a different surname." After the little boy left, the old man turned to command the dignified middle-aged humanity.
"Obey the Lord's will!" The dignified middle-aged man said respectfully.
……
A few days passed in the twinkling of an eye.
On a spacious bluestone street in the west of Tianyu City, a gray robed young man walked slowly, with a colored feather parrot on his shoulder, looking around curiously.
Young people are naturally Shi mu.
This is Tongma Avenue in the west of Tianyu city. It is one of the most prosperous streets in the city. The stream of people on the streets, various large shops and restaurants can be found everywhere.
But at this time, Shi Mu had no time to enjoy the street view. He frowned and seemed to be thinking about something.
"Stone, I've been walking all morning, but I'm tired to death. It's better to have a rest in front!" Cai'er suddenly shouted.
"Have you walked by?"
When Shi Mu heard the speech, he stretched out his hand and flicked the parrot's skull, but he still looked up to the front.
There is an eye-catching tall building with a wide lobby and luxurious decoration, just like a big restaurant.
Even in this busy street, the restaurant is very outstanding and eye-catching.
The name "Tao ranju" is hung at the front door of the restaurant, which has quite an artistic conception.
Shi Mu felt a little tired after a busy morning, so he stepped in.
It's still some time before noon. There are not many guests in the restaurant.
"Sir, please come in!" When the waiter saw Shi Mu coming in, he quickly welcomed him warmly.
On Shi Mu's shoulder stands a huge colorful parrot. Although the dress is a little strange, people can't underestimate the arrogant and rebellious air. In addition, now all kinds of people in Tianyu city are mixed, not to mention taking birds out, it's not surprising to walk in the street with a tiger.
Under the guidance of the waiter, Shi Mu went to the elegant room on the second floor. The layout here is quite exquisite. The tables are separated by screens and potted plants. It is very quiet.
Although there are only a dozen tables on the whole second floor, it doesn't seem crowded at all.
There are not many guests on the first floor, but there are four or five tables on the second floor.
"Have a cup of tea and some plates of dessert." Shi Mu sat down in a seat and said.
"I want to eat nuts." Caier cried.
The waiter looked at cai'er in surprise and was surprised by cai'er's intelligence.
"Some nuts for dessert." Shi Mu said.
The waiter quickly agreed and looked at cai'er in surprise. Then he withdrew.
A few moments later, he brought several plates of exquisite nut snacks and a pot of fragrant green tea.
Shi Mu gave him a reward of several Liang silver and asked him to withdraw.
Cai'er happily tasted snacks and occasionally drank a mouthful of green tea, which was quite moist.
Shi Mu is not as relaxed as caier, and his face is full of a look of meditation.
These days, he went to several post houses of the immortality promotion conference in the city to inquire, but he returned in vain and gained nothing.
However, it's no wonder that there are at least hundreds of such post houses in Tianyu city. I'm afraid I won't be able to find them in two or three months.
Shi Mu thought about whether he should ask for help.
At that moment, a noise came and interrupted his thoughts.
"Haha, with brother Zhou's strength, this immortal promotion conference can naturally stand out without any problem! I'd like to congratulate brother Zhou in advance that he will become an immortal and be ranked in the immortal class. "
"Brother Ge, you're welcome. There are so many experts in this conference. I don't care about this little trick. It's because your Ge family's Yuanling real skill is very famous in Lushan Dynasty. Brother Ge is now a born martial artist in the middle stage, and the chance of being selected is much greater than me. "
"Where..."
Shi Mu frowned and looked at the noisy place. On a seat not far from him, there were four or five young people in Chinese clothes. They looked like they were in their twenties. They were talking and laughing loudly and chasing each other.
These young people are imposing and impressively have congenital accomplishments. It seems that their clothes are everyone's children and their identity is extraordinary.
Shi Mu picked his eyebrows and listened to the conversation just now. These people should be all the gifted disciples participating in the immortal promotion conference.
He took one look and withdrew his eyes.
The children of those aristocratic families continued to talk loudly if there was no one else, but the topic gradually shifted to other places.
"Brother Shentu, do you have time this afternoon? It's said that Huang's shop will hold an auction. Although it's not large, it's also worth visiting." A burly young man in yellow opened his mouth and looked at a young man in blue.
Several other people also looked at it. The young man in blue shirt has a symmetrical figure and is quite heroic“ No, I have something to do this afternoon. " The Blue Shirt Youth smiled mysteriously and said“ Brother Shentu is going to the post house of the immortality promotion conference in Jasper street. I heard that a beautiful woman came there recently. You often go there these days. " Another young man smiled“ Oh, what kind of woman can make brother Shentu so interested? " The burly youth in yellow robes also showed a curious look. This novel has been translated by www.novelhall.com and if you are reading this somewhere, they have stolen our translation.
