"My nephew was not polite when meeting his uncle. I hope he will forgive me."
Chen Xiu bowed his head slightly and bowed his hands.
He behaves in a dignified and elegant manner, quite like a family member.
Huh?
Are you brave enough?
Interesting!
The fat man's eyes lit up, he looked at Chen Xiu carefully, and couldn't help but grin: "Let's go. Uncle Zhang, you have been talking about it for a long time, let's go in and reminisce about the past."
Behind the solid wooden door is the study room.
Thick volumes filled with ancient bookshelves stood in the southwest corner.
The northeast is sunny and the willow trees are hanging low.
Falling lightly, it reflects a screen of classical ladies, which is quite humanistic.
But in Chen Xiu's eyes, it looked like the Senluo area!
Fortify every step and kill at every turn!
The huge study room corresponds to the Qimen Bagua. In the seemingly plain layout, there are actually at least eleven traps.
"You can actually see the layout of this place?"
The fat man rubbed his plump chin with great interest: "This is the pattern laid out by the former master of the 'Luban Divine Ax Sect'. It corresponds to the innate Bagua and contains the universe. It is very subtle."
"Are you interested in cracking it?"
Chen Xiu shook his head slightly: "Sir, Xiu knows that his strength is shallow..."
Ah--
The fat man sneered, with a playful expression on his face: "No wonder Yunshan said that you are very scheming. Is it no good that you don't want to take action?" As he said that, a wisp of green smoke rose from his fingertips.
A bell with an animal head, like an emerald carving, fell into his palm.
The shape is simple, with blood stains among the mottled spots, and light green smoke floating in the animal's mouth.
"Yunshan said that you are quite interested in the antiquities of previous dynasties."
"As long as you can figure out the reason behind it, this Smoke and Cloud Bell will be yours. Don't underestimate this thing. Although it was only a toy in the imperial harem twenty years ago, in the hands of an expert, there is not fifty taels of gold. I can’t handle this thing!”
"The gold is precious!"
Chen Xiu narrowed his eyes slightly, and he could feel the desire coming from his heart.
It is actually the tribute that Martial God Code desires!
"Sir, then don't show your shame here."
Chen Xiu stepped forward and placed his fingers on the screen with pictures of ladies.
Use five fingers to tap lightly on the cinnabar.
The roar sounded quietly.
The huge bookshelf slowly spread out, and a staircase spreading downward was revealed to their eyes.
"How is it possible that it's so simple?"
The fat man was a little stunned.
Chen Xiu said calmly: "The mechanisms here belong to the standard layout of machine-expanded concealed weapons. They are based on the eight formation diagram, and the pattern of life and death corresponds to the eight directions. The gate of life is worth Gen, located in the northeast, and is responsible for the birth of all things; the gate of death is worth Kun, and is located in the eight directions. In the southwest, the Lord died and was buried.”
"The Lady Picture is located in the northeast, where the door to life is. There is a secret passage hidden behind the bookshelf, so it is covered with the door to death. However, the idea that the way to life is hidden behind the door to death is very interesting. If you want to get out, you can only find the corresponding mechanism. Only then."
"otherwise......"
Chen Xiu paused for a moment, then the Yan Ling Dao in his hand gently dropped behind the screen.
In an instant, several golden locks popped out.
The Yan Ling Dao, which was much harder than ordinary weapons, just turned into pieces.
"The mechanism is so clever, and murderous intentions are hidden at every step. I suddenly believe that the Xuanjing Division is hiding here." Chen Xiu smiled lightly, calmly and confidently.
Fortunately, the layout here is mainly based on hidden weapons such as machine expansion!
Coincidentally, it is recorded in the second volume of Tang Sect Secret Records.
"Hey, no wonder Zhang Yunshan admires you so much. You really have something. This thing is yours."
The fat man chuckled and threw it to Chen Xiu, his fingertips igniting with fire.
The radiance spread and illuminated the dark passage.
"Come with me."
Chen Xiu nodded slightly and followed the fat man into the secret passage.
The dark passage is long, and when it reaches the end, a gleam of light emerges.
Chen Xiu slowly raised his head. Under the huge teahouse, there was a whole other world.
Here, it turns out to be a huge underground palace.
Luminous pearls are dotted in all directions, illuminating the sky.
The underground palace is huge. On the white marble square in the center of the ground floor, there are more than a dozen figures wearing pitch black scales scattered here and there.
A black iron mask hung on his waist, a steel hat fell on his back, and a bronze mirror engraved with complex incantations hung on his left arm.
On both sides, there are practice rooms carved on the rock and soil, densely covered with stars, with thick iron doors ajar.
"Are you curious why the Xuanjing Division is hidden under the secular teahouse?"
The fat man asked with a half-smile as he paced.
Chen Xiu nodded slightly: "I have heard the name of Xuanjing Division for a long time. It dominates the world and is powerful in the court, but I didn't expect it to be so low-key."
The fat man sneered, pointed at the white marble square, and said with amusement: "Any mirror master here, as long as he wears a bronze mirror, his status is equivalent to the prefect. To be precise, he is half the level of the high prefect."
Chen Xiu frowned slightly: "Since your status is so high, why?"
The fat man walked slowly and leisurely towards the depths, and said jokingly: "Do you know what everyone in the world calls us?" As he spoke, his eyes suddenly condensed:
"The emperor's butcher's knife, the court's eagle dog!"
Tsk.
Chen Xiu laughed and joked with interest: "It seems that the reputation is not very good!"
"The world is in turmoil. Confucianism uses literature to disrupt the law, and chivalrous people use force to break the law. Supervise hundreds of officials and coerce the world, and offend many people. That's not concealed, but it's troublesome!"
The fat man looked indifferent. He rubbed his chin and his sneaky eyes fell on Chen Xiu: "What do you say, kid? Join us, okay?"
Chen Xiu laughed strangely and seemed quite amused: "I'm already here. If I choose not to join, can I still go back properly?"
The fat man was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing: "Hahaha, you kid, you are so interesting."
He lightly rubbed his finger against the white jade finger, and instantly a brilliant light bloomed on his fingertips.
"Open your hands!"
Chen Xiu nodded slightly.
The next moment, I felt an inexplicable weight in my arms.
A thick set of jet black scales, a bronze mirror, an iron mask, a steel hat, and a jade bottle filled with bright red liquid fell quietly to the ground.
"Is this a Qi Refiner?"
Surprise appeared in Chen Xiu's eyes.
According to legend, Qi Refiner is another kind of cultivation system.
Compared to warriors, they are more superior.
It is said that if you make good use of spells, talismans, and formations, you can even leave your body and control flying swords to kill people thousands of miles away.
Quite a bit like a fairy from mythology.
"There is no need to be surprised. Qi refining is just one of the ways to practice in the world, but compared to warriors, the threshold is higher. After all, whether it is talismans, flying swords, or even alchemy furnaces, they all require gold. of."
"As for strength, it all depends on personal practice."
The fat man seemed quite casual: "I'll make a note later. By the way, I want to know more about Dongping Mansion."
"In this way, you can be regarded as reluctantly becoming the mirror commander of the Xuanjing Division.
"From now on, when you are done with your work, you can come here to practice. Go directly to the backyard of Zuixiang Building and go to the rockery. With your eyesight, you should be able to see the secret passage."
...
When I walked out of the teahouse again, the lights were already brightly lit.
Chen Xiu felt the weight of the backpack, and a smile appeared on his face.
The benefits of being the Mirror Master of the Xuanjing Division are really good.
Every month, he was able to receive four Spirit Emerging Pills and a salary of five taels of gold, which was considered a luxury.
You know, the income of ordinary government servants in Tianye Mansion is only five taels of silver per month!
"I have obtained Chunyang's Spiritual Essence Pill and the dragon's essence and blood."
Chen Xiu stared at the slightly lonely street. This is the north of the city.
At this moment, soul-calling flags and soul-calming tablets have been put out, and pale white paper flowers can be seen everywhere.
There is one day left, July 15th!
The door to hell is open!
"We must hurry up and refine the dragon's essence and blood..."
While Chen Xiu was thinking, he suddenly stopped.
The sound of the extremely heavy hammering of iron was deafening, and there was an exquisite sculpture of a crane holding a sword outside the door.
The muscular man was sweating profusely in the flames, and the hammer in his hand was flying.
It was a blacksmith shop, but not an ordinary one.
Letter to: Iron Sword Bailian Pavilion.
The fat man said that this is the most exquisite blacksmith shop in Dongping Mansion, and it is also where the elders of the Iron Sword Sect sit.
"I hope you won't disappoint me."
