Since he had known in advance that Xu Jing was a land of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. He had encountered a scary little girl who fought monsters with her bare hands, and later heard about the existence of the "Mo Fairy" of unknown origin. Therefore, Han Li, who felt awe-inspiring, did not No one dared to wander around in Xujing.
He just casually looked at the bustling mortal street scene, and after looking at the red lanterns that seemed to be prepared for the festival, he rushed to his destination Qin Mansion early as dusk was approaching and handed over his name card and letter. .
Then, he quickly met Mr. Qin from the Qin Mansion, and after explaining his purpose of coming, he successfully obtained the identity of a nephew of the Qin family and temporarily settled in the Qin Mansion in Xu Jing.
"Master Han!"
"Master Han!"
"The master has told me that I will serve you as my own young master. If you have any instructions, just say it!"
"Don't treat the little one as an outsider!"
After taking Han Li around the Qin Mansion's other courtyard, which only entertained distinguished guests, Qin Gui, the disciple of the Qin Mansion, followed him with a groveling look and said flatteringly.
"That's natural."
"As you can see, I am new here. Can you tell me about the customs of this capital and the recent current events?"
Without revealing his identity as an immortal cultivator, he only hinted a little, making the other party feel horrified and no longer dared to underestimate him. Then Han Li asked with great interest while casually strolling around this exquisite courtyard.
Yes, it is exactly what Han Li said. Although he is an immortal cultivator, he has just arrived and is not familiar with Xu Jing's place of life, so he really needs to get to know him first.
Although he didn't think that such a small person who was guarding the Qin Mansion would know the secrets of the world of immortality, he still wanted to hear it, even if it was just some trivial matters in the market, which might allow him to analyze some of the secrets. Isn’t it possible that unique information comes out?
"ah!"
"no problem!"
"Master Han, from now on I will have no problem working as a cow or a horse for you, let alone such a trivial matter. If you have anything to do, just give me your orders."
Hearing that it was such a trivial matter, disciple Qin Gui didn't dare to be negligent. He hurriedly stepped forward with a flattering smile, and while continuing to show his loyalty, he began to speak vividly.
"It's not that I'm boasting about Haikou, there's really nothing I don't know about the capital!"
"I'm telling you, little one..."
"Master Han, you came at the right time. In a few days, it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival. You must have seen those lanterns on the street, right?"
"When we wake up at one o'clock in the evening on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the whole city will be red, not to mention how beautiful it will be!"
"It will be very lively during the day and night, with dragon dances, lion dances, and lantern riddle guessing. What's even more amazing is that all the young ladies and young wives who are rarely seen on weekdays will go to the streets to enjoy the lanterns and the moon. If Master Han If you are interested, don’t miss it when the time comes!”
At this point, the disciple Qin Gui even winked at Han Li and gave Han Li a look that any man would understand.
However, when he saw that Han Li's expression did not seem to be troubled and he was not too interested in those little wives and big girls, he quickly changed the topic in order to avoid leaving a bad impression.
"nature!"
"Then it will be a few days later. It's still early. If you, Master Han, are free during the day, you can go for a walk in the city."
"But you have to be careful, there are some places where you can't run around."
"Because this capital city is divided into four regions: southeast, northwest and northwest. The imperial city is in the north and must not be approached; the nobles are in the south, so there is no harm in taking a stroll; the east of the city is rich and good, and the west of the city is full of traffickers and lackeys, and there are no big households. But it’s lively and there are also some good eateries.”
"But if Master Han would rather go to some big restaurants or brothels, then he can only go to the east. That's where a person of your status, Master Han, should go..."
"According to legend, the divisions of the capital city were drawn by the immortals on the mountain back then?"
Just like that, Qin Gui started to talk endlessly, and it was not until Han Li became impatient and stretched out his hand to signal him to shut up that he stopped.
"Let's talk about something else!"
"Um……"
"Since you just mentioned immortals, Qin Gui, let me ask you, do you know if there are any powerful immortals in this capital?"
As his mind moved, he thought of the grandfather and grandson he met on the street today. Han Li hesitated for a moment, and then started to ask this question carefully, pretending to be casual.
"ah!"
"A powerful immortal?"
"that……"
"Master Han, why are you asking this?"
If it was something else, then Qin Gui didn't say anything about it. He could talk, talk or brag as much as he wanted, but if it was about those immortals, then he wouldn't dare to mess around.
"Nothing!"
"I'm just asking."
"Looking at you, it seems like you know?"
Crossing his arms and looking at the awed expression on the other person's face and the hesitation to speak, Han Li became even more interested.
"Of course I know. Can there be anything in this city that I don't know about?"
"Master Han, let me tell you..."
"It really does!"
After looking around, disciple Qin Gui pretended to lower his voice, and carefully approached Han Li and said:
"Isn't it the Prince Xin's Mansion?"
"A while ago, a gray-haired and childlike Master Wu came to the capital. He was really amazing. Not only did he have powerful magic, he could also release a fire phoenix. That was a real phoenix. Many people saw it!"
"The little one also saw it at the time. It was really a phoenix. It was so big. Its whole body was covered with fire. It was scary to look at!"
"Then……"
"Then the Immortal Master was invited by Prince Xin's Mansion to be a guest of honor. After that, idle people like me and I will never have the chance to see the Immortal Master again."
As he spoke, Qin Gui shook his head and smacked his lips, looking unfinished and angry. He was obviously very dissatisfied with Prince Xin's palace occupying the Wu Immortal Master.
But there was nothing he could do if he was dissatisfied. After all, it was Prince Xin's palace, and he didn't dare to talk nonsense.
Although their Qin Mansion is also one of the few honorable families in Xu Jing City, it is still a bit different from His Majesty's brother Xin Wang who has the same clan and surname. He does not dare to talk nonsense to recruit for his master. Disaster.
"Phoenix?"
"Master Wu Xian?"
Hearing that 'Master Wu' would release a phoenix, Han Li couldn't help but frown slightly, not knowing how to judge.
If he hadn't experienced what happened before and after entering the city, Han Li would probably have regarded the other party as just a casual cultivator who mingled with ordinary people to eat and drink, and would not have paid much attention to him.
However, after experiencing certain things, he no longer dared to draw conclusions easily.
but……
Phoenix or something, that kind of divine thing that even he has never seen before, he is still not willing to believe it is real, and he is even less willing to believe that such a thing can exist in a place like Xujing. He just guesses that it is very It might be some kind of magic or blindfold or something.
"correct!"
"Are there any great sects or hermit masters near Xu Jing?"
Shaking his head, Han Li instinctively thought that 'Wu Xianshi' was not a powerful person, so he asked about another matter.
"A great sect of cultivating immortals or an expert hermit?"
"I've never heard of this..."
After frowning and thinking for a while, Qin Gui finally shook his head in confusion, indicating that he didn't know what the mysterious Young Master Han in front of him wanted to ask.
"Master Han, what do you want to do with this?"
"You don't want to retire, do you?"
Then, while looking at the unassuming Young Master Han in front of him, he exclaimed and asked in surprise.
"no no."
"I'm just asking."
"correct!"
"Do you know that there is a person in the capital called 'Fairy Mo'?"
Then, Han Li began to ask insinuatingly about the situation of the Alchemy Stage monk 'Mo Fairy' whom he heard mentioned by his grandfather and grandson on the road.
"Fairy Mo?"
"Is it the top brand in the east of the city?"
Now, there were even more question marks on Qin Gui's forehead.
He had no idea where the young Master Han in front of him had heard all these strange things, but Qin Gui, a disciple who was known as the master of all things in the capital, had never heard of them?
"You don't know either?"
Han Li didn't answer, just nodded and thought deeply.
From this point of view, the situation here in Xujing is almost the same as other places. There are not as many hermit masters and immortal cultivators as he imagined, or they appear openly in the sight of mortals. Maybe the little girl and the grandfather and grandson he met when he came were just an accident.
"Master Han..."
"Master Han?"
Qin Gui waited for a long time and saw that Han Li was just standing there thinking about something without asking any more questions. He came over and said flatteringly:
"Master Han..."
"If there is nothing else, I will go down first. Later, I will ask my servants to bring you some suitable clothes and hot water, and prepare a table of good wine and food for you by the way?"
"Look, what else do you need?"
Although he didn't know the origin of the young Master Han in front of him, Qin Gui only knew that based on the master's attitude towards him, he was definitely not someone he could provoke. He just had to take good care of him.
As for other things, such as Mrs. Qin and Young Master Qin's instructions for him to inquire about the other party's truth and truth, he didn't want to continue. He just went and dealt with it casually. Anyway, he couldn't afford to offend either side, and he didn't want to. Go mess with it.
"Um."
"It doesn't matter!"
"Go down. If anything happens, I will call you."
Since the other party knew nothing that interested him anymore, Han Li didn't bother to quarrel with the other party anymore and directly waved his hand to indicate that the other party could leave.
Then, as the other party nodded and bowed to leave, Han Li opened the door and walked directly to the house in the small courtyard arranged for him by Master Qin without further ado.
"Ah!"
"It's quite unique!"
"That's it!"
"Just stay here for a while."
Looking at the decoration inside and seeing that there was a small hall, a study room and a comfortable large bedroom in this courtyard, Han Li nodded with satisfaction, then closed the door and walked straight inside.
Since it was his first time here, he planned to hibernate here in the Qin Mansion for a few days. Before the Mid-Autumn Festival, he would not go out casually at night, so as not to cause trouble for himself.
As Han Li settled down in Qin Mansion, as the sun set at the foot of the mountain, and as night fell, it quickly became dark.
…
It was a dark and windy night.
Since the Mid-Autumn Festival has not yet arrived in the capital, the curfew is still in effect and there are basically no pedestrians on the streets.
In this era when there are no entertainment programs at night, most citizens who work at sunrise and rest at sundown return to their homes early and rest before dark. Except for a few wealthy people, there are lanterns in front of their homes with dim lights. Outside, on the spacious street, only three or two watchmen and patrolling guards could be seen occasionally galloping past on horseback.
Of course, there are not exceptions...
Isn’t this?
A certain troubled little girl, Flame Fairy, and her family's doorkeeper fish, Koi Koi, were wandering in a dim street in the east of the city with their round bellies.
Because before the tavern closed in the evening, the two of them had a delicious meal, and even ate the 'Casserole Eel Pot' which is rich in spiritual energy and is estimated to have hundreds of years of cultivation. Therefore, after the store closed and invited After they left, they did not go back directly. Instead, they wandered aimlessly in the city and have been there until now.
What's even more amazing is that they have not been caught by the patrolling soldiers or watchmen, and they have wandered all the way here, and are about to approach the east gate.
"Master!"
"You say……"
"Will Senior Sister Mo be angry with us?"
Suddenly, while walking on the road, Koi Xiaoli, who was not very afraid of the dark, suddenly asked the Flame Great Immortal Master in front of her, who had the same round belly as hers and burped from time to time.
"angry?"
Σ(°△°|||)︴
"Why is she angry?"
(???.???)????
Anne asked somewhat strangely.
"Because we had a big dinner and didn't tell her?"
"besides!"
"We ate 'clay eel claypot' without notifying her!"
The koi fish waved its fingers and said.
Although the restaurant's chef's cooking skills were mediocre, and he didn't seem to know the importance of the eel, and he wasted a lot of spiritual energy and blood essence when handling it, the koi carp knew that the 'casserole eel pot' It is still a great tonic. If Senior Sister Mo eats it, it will definitely be beneficial to her cultivation. However, since they did not wait for each other, this kind of thing is definitely not good.
"What's a 'clay eel pot'?"
(??w??)
"People don't know what you're talking about!"
??(′?｀?)???
Blinking, Annie suddenly said this coldly, and then continued to stroll forward happily.
"??"
"ah!"
"Yes, yes!"
Then, Koi Koi seemed to understand something that could only be understood but could not be expressed in words, and he slapped his thigh hard and exclaimed.
"Senior sister doesn't know anything about the eel at all. As long as you don't tell me, Master, and Xiao Li doesn't tell me, then she definitely doesn't know!"
"maybe……"
"She's still at home now, waiting for us to go back for dinner, right?"
I remembered that I had a big meal with Master, and also had a lot of 'casserole eel stew', but Senior Sister Mo didn't know anything about it, and even cooked a table full of dishes at home, and then she was pitifully sitting in the yard. Waiting for the two of them to go back, Koi Xiaoli was secretly proud, but at the same time, he couldn't help but feel guilty in his heart. He didn't know how to face each other when he went back later.
"probably?"
??(??￣?￣)????
"so!"
(???)?
"Little carp, let's walk around for two more times, and then go back when the digestion is almost complete!"
?(ψ｀▽′)o
"besides!"
|???w??)??
"Wipe your face quickly and don't go back and let her see it."
(*?′?`?)
While Annie was talking mischievously, she also didn't forget to pick up her little bear Tibbers and wipe her hands and face vigorously, while also pointing the koi carp to follow her example and clean up the 'battlefield'. If you can save it, you will go back and show your flaws.
(…)
(●￣?￣●)
"OK!"
"Wipe it up now!"
"Then let's just walk back like this!"
"You will be hungry when you get home, and then we can have another midnight snack?"
Koi Koi suggested loudly while cleaning up.
Although they had just eaten a big meal, for a fish like her, no amount of food was enough, so she had decided to eat Senior Sister Mo's cooking again when she went back. Those ten dishes!
"night snack?"
(*ˉ?ˉ*;)
"Then it's decided!"
???(?)????
If she walked back slowly, she would be almost hungry when she got home, so Anne didn't object to that wonderful suggestion.
But...
When the two of them were packing up and continuing to walk home, unexpectedly, in front of them on this dark and silent street, a man suddenly jumped from the roof of a nearby house. A strange guy with horns, sharp ears, sharp teeth, and a bare upper body, exuding a red ominous aura, and the other person tilted his head and looked at the two of them maliciously?
"??"
Koi Xiaoli was confused and had to look at Annie beside her with questions.
"Master!"
"What is he doing?"
Koi Xiaoli had never experienced such a thing as being intercepted by someone, so she seemed a little confused.
"Why!"
ε=(′ο｀*)))Alas
This was not the first time that Annie, who had experienced countless worlds, encountered something similar, so she sighed out of boredom.
"Little carp!"
(*???*)
"He is the kind of weirdo described in the book who doesn't learn well and comes out late at night to do bad things. He especially likes to kidnap little girls like you or attack young ladies like your senior sister!"
(?~?)
Therefore, Annie, who could guess what the other party wanted to do next just by looking at his expression, told her what the other party wanted to do without any surprise or expectation.
"oh!"
"So he is that kind of bad guy?"
"That……"
"Master, Master, what should we do next?"
After hearing this, Koi Xiaoli couldn't help but feel a little excited. After all, this was her first time encountering a bad guy and she had no experience in dealing with them.
"I just finished eating and don't want to move, so go ahead!"
(???3?)
"You can beat him to death or cripple him!"
?(ˊ〇ˋ*)?
"No one saw it anyway!"
☆?(o*?w?)?
With that said, Annie took a step back and signaled that Koi Xiaoli could go up and fight. She, as the master, would be there to cheer the opponent on.
"Really?"
"It doesn't matter if you're beaten to death or crippled?"
The koi carp is a little eager to try.
"What about eating?"
However, compared to beating to death and maiming, Koi Xiaoli prefers another approach. After all, when she was in the river, everything she defeated ended up in her mouth, so now, She also wanted to do it again.
"He is a human being and cannot eat randomly!"
(lll￢▽￢)
Unfortunately, Annie rejected the other party's disgusting idea without even thinking about it.
"scare?"
"Is he human?"
"But, how can anyone be so ugly?"
Koi Koi said that the other person looked strange with sharp teeth, claws and horns all over his body. How did he look like a human being?
Sudden!
Before Koi could ask anything more, the bad guy suddenly took the lead and raised his sharp claws and pounced towards her.
"Huh?!"
First she screamed in surprise, and then Koi Xiaoli had to raise her milky-white and tender little fists in embarrassment in preparation for a counterattack.
'Roar! ! '
However, the man still ignored him and let out a beast-like roar and rushed towards the koi carp, whose body was filled with spiritual energy.
It can be seen that the guy who is rushing over with a ferocious smile on his face does not seem to know such a sentence: high-end hunters often appear in the form of prey?
