Qingxuan Office is located at the end of Zhuque Street in the inner city of the Divine Capital. The gate wall is mottled and majestic, and stone tablets three feet high stand on both sides.
The stone tablet on the left is engraved with the year when the Qingxuan Department was established and important events over the years. The stone tablet on the right is engraved with many names. The first one is Cao Chonglin, but there is another name along with it - Yang Yan.
The second line is Chu Chunqiu's name.
There was a big blank space behind it, and then there were names with smaller handwriting. Except for the first one, Zhang Tianshi, there were many others that Jiang Wang didn't recognize, but he saw the names of Pei Jieran and Xun Xiuzhen among them. I guess these names are quite big. A man of merit.
Jiang Wang wanted to see Pei Jieran alone, but it was Shu Ni who helped him, and the Qingxuan Department Demon Suppression Envoy turned out to be very respectful and help spread the news.
Ning Shisi saw Jiang Wang's curiosity and said with a smile: "Junior sister was raised by the eldest princess, and the gods here can almost walk sideways."
Jiang Wang asked: "Is the eldest princess special even to gods?"
The Hammer girl said, "I've never seen him before."
Ning Shisi looked very serious, nodded and said: "The eldest princess indeed rarely leaves the house. In fact, I have never even seen her a few times. I can't say the details, but your majesty must listen to the eldest princess's words. Let me ask you. How dare anyone offend a junior sister who has the support of the eldest princess?"
Jiang Wang's expression changed.
He looked at Shu Ni, who was raising her chin very arrogantly, and said with a smile: "It seems that Miss Shu is really a big shot. I will have to rely on Miss Shu for anything in the future."
Shu Ni snorted softly and said, "I won't be a shameless person who helps Goulan listen to music."
Jiang Wang's face suddenly darkened.
But without waiting for an explanation, the Demon Suppressor who had gone back to report had already come out and led them to Pei Jieran's separate courtyard.
The Qingxuan Department is very large. Ordinary demon-suppressing envoys live in Datongpu. All demon-suppressing envoys of higher grades have private courtyards. Some are big and some are small. Naturally, they are divided according to grade. In fact, they are third-grade demon-suppressing envoys, but they are regarded as Pei Jieran, who was in charge of the order, was also a high-ranking disciple, and the residence he was assigned to was naturally well equipped.
But because Pei Jieran didn't like a courtyard that was too big, he chose a location that was small but well-equipped, yet more secluded. .Ь.
The demon-suppressing envoy leading the way stopped in front of the courtyard and said, "Pei Xingling has said that all you need to do is go in and the rest of the people will wait outside the courtyard."
Jiang Wang nodded towards Xiaoyu and Ajie. Ning Shisi and Xiao Shinian didn't say anything. Shu Ni had already pushed the door open and entered.
It is said to be a courtyard, but in fact there is no courtyard. The architectural form looks out of place compared to other places. It is more like it was specially built for Pei Jieran. Stepping through the courtyard door is a long corridor. There is only a foot-wide open space between the corridor and the courtyard wall. Some exotic flowers and plants.
Wind chimes are hung under the eaves of the corridor, and several lanterns are also hung. Dragon and tiger patterns are carved on the pillars, which are extremely detailed and lifelike. The wooden floor is shiny and has regular patterns throughout. I think it is just the construction of the corridor. , and spent a lot of money.
The corridor is only five feet to the end, and there is a door there, which is currently ajar.
Jiang Wang looked at Shu Ni who was walking quickly in front of him and asked, "Are you familiar with Miss Pei?"
Shu Ni shook his head and said, "I'm not familiar with it. I've just seen her a few times from a distance when she was speeding over Shendu many times and was chased by the Xiaoguo Army. However, because she refused to change despite repeated admonitions and Chu Chunqiu begged for mercy, she opened her eyes instead. Set a precedent so that she is no longer bound by this rule.”
Jiang Wang secretly smacked his tongue.
Of course he understands why Pei Jieran is like this. It seems that it is not that Pei Jieran has the ability to ask the gods to open the back door for her, but that Chu Chunqiu told her about her situation. In addition, Pei Jieran does have some status in Qingxuan Department and has high achievements. Chen Jinghuai gives her some privileges. , it doesn’t hurt either.
But there is no doubt that in the eyes of those who don't know, Pei Jieran is definitely a special guy.
Shu Ni pushed open the ajar door, but the scene in front of her stunned both her and Jiang Wang.
The first thing that catches the eye is an antique carved table. On the table are several bottles of porcelain and tea sets. The porcelain is painted with patterns of landscapes, flowers and birds. There are a few elegant plum blossoms in the bottle, and the teapot exudes a faint fragrance. The aroma of tea.
In front of the walls on both sides are long wardrobes and bookshelves respectively. The wardrobes are inlaid with exquisite copper ornaments. In addition to various ancient books and swords and axes, the bookshelves are placed on them.
Yue hook and fork.
There was a bed against the opposite wall. The bed was covered with soft brocade quilts, but it was a little messy.
In addition, there are all kinds of debris piled up in the free space, such as piles of talismans that look like waste paper, magic weapons thrown here and there, and many large boxes with unknown contents piled up.
And because the windows were closed and the corridor blocked the sunlight, making the room a little dark, Jiang Wang couldn't find Pei Jieran for a while.
Until there was a crash and Shu Ni heard the sound, Jiang Wang took a step back and turned his head slightly. He saw that the window facing the open space where exotic flowers and plants were planted had been opened, and Pei Jieran was standing under the window, staring sideways. Looking at Jiang.
Jiang Wang's lips twitched slightly, it was obvious that Pei Jieran had just jumped out of the window.
Whether it was because the room was in a mess or something else, Jiang Wang did not go back into the room. Instead, he glanced at Shu Ni and asked in a low voice, "Is it okay?"
Pei Jieran said expressionlessly, "Just don't look at her."
Jiang Wang said: "Then why don't you let me come in by myself? Why do you want her to come in?"
Before Pei Jieran could reply, Shu Ni came out of the room after hearing the noise and asked in surprise: "Why are you outside?"
Jiang Wang then pushed Shu Ni and said, "I have something to say to Miss Pei. You go inside and stay for a while."
She understood that Jiang Wang wanted to ask about Zhao Si. Although she didn't understand why she avoided it, she didn't say anything. It was as if she couldn't hear you after entering the room.
Pei Jieran breathed a sigh of relief, sat directly on the corridor, and said, "I heard about you in the Jiaofang Department."
Jiang Wang sat down and said, "The rumors cannot be taken as true, although some things are true."
No matter what, Pei Jieran is a member of the Qingxuan Department. There are some things he can say and some things he cannot say.
"What do you want from me?"
"I would like to ask Zhao Si, why did your Qingxuan Department take him with you on this mission?"
"I'm not sure about this, but Zhao Si is following Zhang Tianshi. Without Zhang Tianshi's permission, no one can call Zhao Si unless the leader personally orders it. Sun Qingyao follows Zhao Si every step of the way. He may know it."
"Sun Qingyi is my man. When Zhao Si leaves the capital of the gods, he will naturally follow him. I am just worried that since the heavenly master usually does not accompany him, this time there is an exception, and Zhao Si will be in danger." xь.
Pei Jieran shook his head and said: "Zhang Tianshi is very important, and sometimes the leader has to pay three respects to him. Besides, Zhao Si is very talented in talismans and is deeply loved by Zhang Tianshi. If Zhao Si is in danger, the Demon Suppressor will try his best to save him, unless this happens The demon envoy must die, otherwise nothing will happen to Zhao Si."
Jiang Wang was thoughtful.
During the battle with Han Yan in the Imperial Master's Mansion, Jiang Wang had already made it clear that the Imperial Master's so-called invisibility and inaudibility were not so strict restrictions on the great things in the divine capital. They might not be able to hear them, but they would certainly be able to see them.
With Ajie, the big things in the Divine Capital can be invisible, unless they really insist on seeing them. In that case, the Divine Kingdom will react, so Jiang Wang basically doesn't need to worry about this matter now.
I believe that no one will point the finger directly at Sister A. They will only think that it is because of the immortal.
Even though Jiang Wang still hasn't figured out Ajie's cultivation, hiding Ajie can undoubtedly be used as a trump card.
"I want to see Master Zhang."
Pei Jieran nodded and said, "I can take you there."
Jiang Wang hesitated and said, "You just need to help me show the way."
Pei Jieran said: "I am very familiar with Zhang Tianshi."
Jiang Wang said with relief: "Then please."
He stood up and called Shu Ni, and was about to walk out when Pei Jieran said, "Let them wait here, let's go another way."
Jiang Wang thought about Pei Jieran's spiritual problem, so he gave Shu Ni instructions, then communicated with his sister in his heart, and then asked: "Where to go from?"
Pei Jieran jumped over the wall and walked out.
Jiang Wang was silent for a moment, then climbed over the wall.
...
When Jiang Wang learned about Zhang Tianshi's residence, he really felt that Zhang Tianshi was in Qingxuan Department.
His status is indeed quite high.
Because the buildings in the southern area of Qingxuan Department are all unique to Zhang Tianshi.
Pei Jieran said: "Zhang Tianshi doesn't like outsiders to disturb him. If he wants to get talismans, there is a special treasure urn pavilion. Every month, someone will send the talisman drawn by Zhang Tianshi there with a clearly marked price. The talismans distributed by the Demon Suppressing Envoy have their own regulations, so most of them The Demon Suppressor has actually never met Zhang Tianshi."
Jiang Wang could probably understand that although Zhang Tianshi was still a mortal in essence, he could use a talisman to kill the monk Yu Xue. When one's skills reached the highest level, he could be called a god.
In particular, talismans play a great role in subduing demons and exterminating demons. They are also a means for ordinary demon-suppressing envoys to save their lives. It is normal for Zhang Tianshi to have a transcendent status in the Qingxuan Department.
After all, there is only one Master Zhang in the world.
And Zhao Si seems to be able to become the second Tianshi Zhang.
Thinking about what Chen Jinghuai wants to do, there is no need to attack Zhao Si. What's more, if he is afraid of the so-called immortal before he can get rid of his worries, this move will undoubtedly be equivalent to breaking the jar. It is not to that extent at present.
But Jiang Wang still wanted to find out through Zhang Tianshi why Zhao Si would accompany him on the mission.
Pei Jieran was familiar with the road and quickly led Jiang Wang to Zhang Tianshi.
Zhang Tianshi's hair is silvery white, but his face looks youthful. He looks like he is only in his thirties, and he thinks he has used some kind of talisman to maintain his appearance. Although similar talismans are effective, they cannot maintain youth forever, but this way How many talismans does Zhang Tianshi want?
Even though he looks young, Zhang Tianshi still has the attitude of an old man.
He was standing in the open space in the courtyard, grinning, rubbing his waist, stretching his muscles, squatting down again, tinkering with the talismans. The talismans were all different, and the whole courtyard was almost full. Even if Jiang Wang didn't understand, he could still tell that Zhang Tianshi It seems to be setting up a talisman array. xь.
Pei Jieran didn't step forward, so Jiang Wang stopped.
They watched silently as Zhang Tianshi laughed twice for a while, then frowned and thought hard. He held two talismans in his hands, changing their positions unsteadily. Finally, as if they had discovered something, their eyes lit up and they placed the talismans in the correct position. Zhang Tianshi stood up and ran away in a hurry.
After hiding far enough, Zhang Tianshi showed confidence and snapped his fingers.
Jiang Wang stared at the talismans, but saw no changes. Just when he was about to ask Pei Jieran, the ground shook violently. When Jiang Wang looked over again, his pupils suddenly shrank.
Dozens of feet of land in the courtyard disappeared out of thin air, leaving only a bottomless pit!
The ground only trembled, there was no big movement, but it could cause such damage?
To say it was caused by the explosion of the talisman, it is more like the land was moved away.
Zhang Tianshi was very satisfied, but then he shook his head and said, "But the formation is a bit troublesome after all. It seems that it needs to be optimized again."
Turning around and seeing Pei Jieran, Zhang Tianshi was slightly startled, smiled and waved, "Xiao Ranran, why do you have the time to come to my place today?"
"Xiao...Ranran?" Jiang Wang looked at Pei Jieran with a shocked face. The latter's face turned red, his fists clenched, and he roared, "Shut up!"
"Not polite." Tianshi Zhang pointed at the deep pit and said, "I'll have some demon-suppressing envoys come over later to help me fill it up."
Pei Jieran said nothing with a cold face.
Jiang Wangze asked curiously: "Senior, where did this open space go?"
Zhang Tianshi said with a smile: "Of course it turned into nothingness."
Jiang Wang was shocked.
If there is someone in the talisman formation, will that person also turn into nothingness?
