The house is not big, just a relatively secluded small courtyard.
There is one main house and two side rooms, clean and well-equipped.
Although the mansion is not big, this is the Tianqi Imperial City where every inch of land is precious. This small courtyard cannot be bought without tens of thousands of taels of silver.
Wu Ying looked around and said:
"It's not bad. The location is a bit remote, but it's quieter. I'll buy two maids back tomorrow to help you take care of the house."
Wu Ying's demeanor was very relaxed at the moment, and his words had a brother-like feeling, as if Yun Que was a younger brother who needed to be taken care of.
"No need, Senior Brother Wu, I live in the Academy and won't come back here often." Yun Que said.
"You don't come back often, so someone needs to take care of it. Otherwise, how can the house be lived in? Don't worry, I'll pay for the maid." Wu Ying said with a smile.
"I'm used to living alone, so don't bother me." Yun Que declined.
"Okay, come as you like."
Wu Ying stopped mentioning the maid's matter and said with a slightly serious expression: "Junior brother Yun is well-deserved for the emperor's reward. However, there is a saying that junior brother Yun must not forget. Accompanying the emperor is like accompanying a tiger. The road to officialdom is not easy. The higher you go, the more you go up." The climb becomes more and more dangerous, and it’s extremely cold at high places.”
"I am always happy with what I have. I am very satisfied with my current official position. The Ministry of Punishment and the East Palace have two salaries." Yun Que said with a smile: "Besides, I am a martial artist. If I am asked to be an official who is too high, I will not do it. "
"Being content with one's needs is a good attitude, but it is definitely not a good man."
Wu Ying shook his head and said: "Our good men are born in heaven and earth, and we should live a vigorous and vigorous life to live up to this life! Senior brother reminds you that the official career is difficult, not to let you retreat when you face difficulties, but to expect you to face the difficulties. , I have some ambitions in the future, be granted the title of Marquis and become the Prime Minister!"
"I am a little martial artist, how can I have the chance to become a marquis and become a prime minister." Yun Que said.
"Don't underestimate yourself. As long as we firmly believe in one thing and work hard persistently, we will succeed sooner or later."
Wu Ying patted Yun Que on the shoulder and said with a smile: "If you encounter any problems in the Ministry of Justice in the future, you can come to me. Even though your official position is higher than mine, I have spent more time in the Ministry of Justice than you. "
"By the way, Senior Brother Wu, there is a female prisoner named Amei in Tianlu. What is her background?" Yun Que asked.
"Amei? Oh, you are talking about Qiongyin, right? She is the orphan of Yanmenhou. Her case is very complicated. It involves the Yanshidiantianmen incident. The file is in Tiluosi. Just take a look at it. Don't ask for it. You can't mention it outside, especially in front of the emperor, and you can't mention it a word. The Ministry of Punishment still has some unfinished business, so I have to go back first."
After Wu Ying left, the yard became quiet.
"Qiongyin, Qiongwu, you are indeed two sisters."
After Yun Que learned Amei's real name, he became curious about the so-called Yanshitianmen incident.
Not being able to mention it in front of the emperor shows that this matter has a lot to do with the emperor, and it is also a matter of shame.
Since it is a taboo matter for the emperor, why is one imprisoned in the sky prison and the other studying in the academy?
Yun Que couldn't figure this out for the time being, but he would soon know the truth. All he had to do was go back to the Ministry of Punishment and look at the files.
Yun Que sat in the room, looking at the pedestrians passing by outside the door, his eyebrows slightly frowning.
"If I grant you the title of Marquis and Prime Minister, what benefits will you get, Senior Brother Wu..."
Yun Que muttered to himself.
Wu Ying gave Yun Que the feeling of being a kind big brother and a trustworthy friend.
But Yun Que is not used to this kind of friends, nor does he need them.
Yun Que is more accustomed to Mei Qian's kind of half-friend, who cheats each other when they should cheat, helps when they should help, and always puts their own interests first.
If there is one person in the world that Yun Que can completely trust, it can only be Princess Lingyun.
As for Wu Ying, Yun Que could never trust him.
Yun Que always had a strange feeling that Wu Ying seemed to have some hidden purpose.
Yun Que couldn't guess or figure out what the purpose was.
Dispersing his thoughts, Yun Que looked at several rooms.
It was empty except for household items, including pots and pans.
Since he didn't live here anyway, Yun Que didn't bother to buy it. After remembering the location, he locked the door and returned to the academy.
Today you just need to familiarize yourself with the Ministry of Punishment and receive official uniform tokens, etc., and you will officially take office tomorrow.
Baihua Palace is still lively.
The east building is noisy, the south building is singing and dancing, the west building is quiet, and the north building is full of sight.
The one who was eager to see through it was naturally the new gentleman.
Seeing Yun Que passing by, Jian Pingzhi rushed forward with a sprint.
"I see that your eyes are clear and your heaven is full. You must be a person with a very strong soul! You are most suitable for the study of Shinto. Are you interested in listening to the lecture?"
"Sorry sir, I'm very busy today, I'll talk about it another time."
Putting Jian Pingzhi aside, Yun Que returned to the west building.
Jian Pingzhi then stared at Tu Su who happened to be passing by. He was still talking in the same way, eloquent.
This gentleman is a fool, and he still has to trick students into taking classes...
Yun Que shook his head. As soon as he entered the west building, he saw several large wooden boxes placed in the hall.
Mu An was carrying it upstairs, sweating profusely from exhaustion.
"Junior Brother Yun! You are back, please help me." Mu An seemed to see a savior.
"What is it? It's heavy enough." Yun Que grabbed two wooden boxes with one hand and followed Mu An to carry them upstairs.
"The materials Mr. Mo bought seem to be monster bones."
Mu An envied: "Junior Brother Yun is still very strong. If he had known that I also practiced martial arts, Mr. Mo would often buy some strange materials outside. I was not only responsible for picking up the goods, but also had to carry them upstairs. I was tired every time. Half dead."
Mu An felt that the heavy box was nothing in Yun Que's hands. This was Wu Fu's advantage.
With Yun Que's help, several boxes were quickly transported to a large room on the third floor.
Yun Que patted the dust on his hands, glanced around, and found that this was a study-like place, with a row of bookshelves against the wall.
The corpse of the nine-headed rat was standing in the corner. It must have been refined by Mr. Mo.
Yun Que flipped through a few books, all of which were strange.
There are either anecdotes recording mysterious cases, the Book of the Dead involving corpses, and some books about spirits.
Yun Que found a book of Gu insects.
This book records all kinds of strange Gu Insects, from their shapes to their abilities, in great detail. It also has patterns so you can see what the Gu Insects look like at a glance.
Yun Que has always been most interested in books with pictures.
"This is Elder Mo's study. No one is allowed to enter normally. Junior Brother Yun can read, but don't take him out. Elder Mo will get angry if he knows about it." After Mu An warned him, he went downstairs to rest.
Yun Que originally planned to take a look and leave, but ended up looking fascinated.
Gu insects are the witch cultivator's best tool and need to be carefully refined.
There are many kinds of Gu insects, and their functions are all kinds of strange.
Yun Que saw a kind of poison called the alcoholic poison, which needs to be kept in a wine vat. If a person grows the alcoholic poison, he can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk, and he can drink no matter how much wine he drinks without getting drunk.
There is also a moonlight Gu, which is as thin as a cicada's wing, like a piece of moonlight gauze. When wrapped around the body at night, it can hide the body.
When he saw a kind of Gu insect with a long and slender body, a thin needle mouthpart on its head, and four short thin claws like a mosquito, Yun Que's eyes suddenly moved.
"Food Forbidden Gu!"
Yun Que stared.
The food fasting Gu in the picture is exactly the bug that got into his ear in the sky prison!
When he saw the usefulness of the Food Forbidden Gu, Yun Que gradually opened his mouth wide and became gradually surprised.
The Food Forbidden Gu feeds on restrictions, and when planted on the body, it can slowly eat away some restrictions and seals, and is harmless to the main body.
Of course Yun Que knew what prohibition was.
Similar to the immobilization technique performed by the prince, it is the simplest kind of restriction, while the soul curse lotus seal of the leader of the Red Lotus is a profound sealing technique.
It wasn't until he saw the introduction of the Food Forbidden Gu in Mr. Mo's study that Yun Que suddenly realized it.
It turns out that Amei is not trying to harm herself, but she wants to help her eliminate the lotus seal!
Yun Que's expression became extremely exciting, embarrassed and helpless.
"This misunderstanding is huge..."
Thinking of making someone cry not long ago, Yun Que simply couldn't laugh or cry, and said to himself:
"Why didn't you tell me earlier? There won't be so many misunderstandings with just one sentence. She's not mute. She's such a weird woman, but she has a really nice figure."
Just as he was reminiscing about Amei's perfect figure, someone suddenly spoke next to him.
"How wonderful."
"It's simply the best..." Yun Que said smoothly, and then he was suddenly surprised.
There was no one in the room, but the one who spoke was the Nine-Headed Rat!
The dead man speaks!
Yun Que was shocked and calmed down in an instant. He recognized that the voice was not the Nine-Headed Rat, but that of Mr. Mo.
The body of the nine-headed rat shook for a moment, then he stepped out of the corner and stood in front of Yun Que, opening and closing his mouth and saying:
"How is your practice of corpse refining?"
"It turns out it's Mr. Mo who is a stupid student and has not yet completed his cultivation." Yun Que lied.
"Huh, you just don't want to practice. Don't think that I don't know if you think corpse refining is useless." Mr. Mo said coldly.
"Students don't think it's of much use," Yun Que said.
"Then do you think the clone technique is useful?" Mo Lao said.
"Of course it works! The clone is equivalent to having a separate version of myself. I am practicing in the academy, and the other clone can go shopping. It is a beautiful thing to combine work and rest," Yun Que said.
"I'm going shopping right now. I'll go to Xianke Building right away. I want to have some late-night snacks and I'll bring them back to you later." Mr. Mo said in a low voice.
"Mr. Mo is shopping? Then this corpse..." Yun Que suddenly thought of something and said in surprise: "Is it possible that the corpse refining technique can also control the corpse to speak!"
"What do you think? The corpse refining technique can not only make the corpse speak, but also hear the sounds heard by the corpse. The sights seen may not be as mysterious as the clone technique, but they are similar."
Mr. Mo snorted and said: "You have to know that the secret skill of clone is a magical power that can only be used by strong practitioners. Don't even think about it if you are below the fourth level!"
Now Yun Que was tempted.
I used to think that the corpse refining technique was just an extra boost to control the corpse refining battle, and it was dispensable. Now it seems that the benefits of the corpse refining technique are beyond imagination!
No wonder those students who died in the vat before were willing to risk their souls being shattered to practice corpse refining.
This strange method is indeed attractive enough.
Not to mention anything else, as long as he can succeed in cultivation, Yun Que can leave his avatar in the Ministry of Justice to earn a salary while he practices in the academy. He does not need to be as busy as Wu Ying and has to run in both directions.
"May I ask, Mr. Mo, how many corpses can be controlled at most?" Yun Que asked.
"In terms of pure battle, the number of corpses to be refined is related to the depth of your mastery of corpse refining. If you control the corpse to be a clone from a distance like me, you can only control one. You also need to find a suitable corpse and undergo a special refinement. It just needs to be controlled." Old Mo said.
"If given the opportunity, students will try to practice."
After Yun Que finished speaking, the nine-headed rat opposite him became silent again and returned to the state of a corpse.
Yun Que was not just talking about it, but he planned to practice it when he had time.
The key point of corpse refining is the soul. It is a special skill of the soul type. The most serious consequence is that the soul is broken.
However, Yun Que didn't care much about the consequences.
My own soul is quite special, and with a demon soul integrated into it, it is not easy to break it.
Only when it reaches the point where the demon soul is shattered can Yun Que's life be truly threatened.
Ever since he saw the huge demon soul in the Consciousness Sea, Yun Que felt that not to mention the corpse refining technique, even the soul self-destruction technique might not be able to kill that guy.
In the evening, Mr. Mo indeed brought back a food box containing food and wine from Xiankelou. After throwing it to Yun Que and Mu An, Mr. Mo floated up to the third floor.
While eating the delicious food, Yun Que glanced at Mu An opposite him and asked:
"Senior Brother Mu, have you ever practiced corpse refining?"
