The further down, the more obvious the cold feeling became. Bai Lekang was not doing it for the great benefit, so he could not help but turn around and run away.
The person hidden inside is not an easy person to get along with.
Although they didn't get along much, the mysteriousness about this person made Bai Lekang feel like there was a chill in his bones every time he saw him.
Very evil!
There is only a short flight of stone steps from the top to the secret room, and you quickly enter. Dots of candlelight come in and are about to be extinguished.
A gust of cool wind hit him, and Bai Lekang shivered. He saw that the light in the basement was very dark, with only an oil lamp on the table, glowing faintly, and an altar not far away, which was even more chilling.
There was a person sitting in front of the altar, and Bai Lekang confirmed his identity without getting close.
This is the conspirator who once had some dignity in front of King Lu, but is now wanted by the court, Gui Junxi!
Gui Junxi's face was as dark as water, and he remained silent, as if he was meditating. After a long time, he raised his head, stared at it, and asked, "Is there anyone following you?"
Gui Junxi seemed to be very worried about him, but Bai Lekang didn't take it seriously, but replied: "No, after leaving Prince Dai's Mansion, I walked around for a long time before I came to you."
"Is it?"
Gui Junxi was noncommittal. In the world that Bai Lekang couldn't see, several figures were sitting or standing at the same time, floating above the altar, staring at it coldly.
"..." Although Bai Lekang couldn't see it, he felt a little palpitated. The strong uneasiness made him subconsciously want to retreat. But in the blink of an eye, he thought that he was an old scholar, and he had wasted many years. If he continued to endure it, he was afraid that he would run out of gas. .
Now that you have made your choice, if you retreat now, all your efforts will be wasted. As soon as you hesitate, you hear Gui Junxi ask: "How did things go?"
Half done, but not completely done, Bai Lekang thought to himself.
Although in accordance with Gui Junxi's request, he approached Dai Wang in the image of Gui Junxi, and indeed moved into Dai Wang's palace, but I don't know whether Dai Wang was too cautious or did not recognize talents. Except for the first appearance, he never showed up. Summoned myself.
No matter how much Bai Lekang deceived himself, he still felt that something was wrong.
He didn't get any confirmation from the old Taoist. He only knew that King Dai had indeed handed over the document, but he had no idea whether it was true or false or what was in it. He couldn't say that the matter was done.
But Bai Lekang is scared now.
I don’t know why, but my heart palpitations are severe. Moreover, even though I used to pay attention to etiquette, justice and integrity, but since I have put down my moral line to do this, I naturally feel free from the idea of faithful promises.
Bai Lekang wanted to get away. With these thoughts in his mind, he vowed: "The matter is naturally settled. The king fell in love with me at first sight. He not only invited me to stay in the mansion, but also entertained me several times. As long as I use a few more Oh, I’m afraid I can even get the mastermind of this generation’s palace!”
A shadow circled in front of Bai Lekang, floated to Gui Junxi, and said, "He lied and didn't handle this matter at all."
Gui Junxi nodded. In Bai Lekang's view, it was natural that he believed his words. There was only a little guilt at first, but now it was gone.
Bai Lekang licked his face, wanting to ask for benefits from Gui Junxi in advance, and said, "You said before that as long as I finish this matter, you will promise to help me as a yin official..."
The mainstream of the imperial court system is the imperial examination, but there are two supplements, namely "men yin" and "zase". The so-called zase are those who have the reputation of being a scholar or a scholar, and participate in the selection of the civil service, but the upper limit is seven ranks.
The "men's yin" system means that the descendants of high-ranking officials above the fifth rank can directly enter the official position as yin, and not only the descendants, but also the retainers can, and the upper limit is not low.
Especially in the palace, there is naturally a quota for recommending disciples (guests).
Gui Junxi was silent for a long time before responding: "Don't worry, I will give you whatever I promise..."
Before Bai Lekang could smile, he heard the second half of Gui Junxi's words: "...As for your retribution, I will give you..."
"No, this guy lied to me, it's dangerous here!"
Bai Lekang's heart skipped a beat and he immediately felt something was wrong. He let out a howl, turned around and ran away.
"Poof!" On the altar, a shadow silently pounced on Bai Lekang.
"Ah - ah -"
Bai Lekang rolled to the ground, and then screamed repeatedly, as if he had been subjected to extremely terrible torture, his face was ferocious, and his voice changed the tone.
Not long after, a face with Bai Lekang's face protruded from the still twitching body, looking like he was trying to rush out, and shouted at Gui Junxi on the altar: "You lied to me!"
Before he could struggle out, another face emerged from the body. He seemed to be biting a piece in his mouth, making a chewing sound, and sneered: "Let me see the taste... I really thought you were sanctimonious. I don't want you to be a wolf-hearted person." , he will even attack his sister-in-law and niece, and if something happens, he will flee to the capital and never return, causing them to hang themselves!"
"No wonder I don't dare to go back and want to fight to the death to become an official."
"When I was a god, I liked to give retribution to people like you."
"No, no..." Bai Lekang struggled, and his face was pulled back. Soon, there was a creepy chewing sound inside his body, and the screams became lower and lower. After a while, someone lying on the ground The injured Bai Lekang was bleeding from all his orifices and was motionless.
Gui Junxi kept watching indifferently, but a screen not far away trembled slightly. It turned out that there was someone behind the screen who witnessed this and trembled with fear.
After a moment, the man managed to calm down his emotions, turned around from behind the screen, his face turned pale, and his eyes flickered when he looked at Gui Junxi again.
"Unexpectedly, sir, you actually have a magical way!" The man said flatteringly, covering up his instinctive fear.
Before witnessing this scene, he had scorned the so-called magical passage method and thought it was all a lie, but now he no longer thought so.
Gui Junxi didn't open his eyes and said: "Time is also destiny. This is not my ability. It is caused by the king's rebellious behavior."
His eyes seemed to look through this man into the distance, and his voice became colder: "The so-called people are doing it, and gods are watching. The king has besieged and suppressed the temples. Now there are seventeen temples, each with tens of thousands of believers."
"In the entire capital, there have been over a million people offended. People are angry with the gods and full of resentment. How can there be no retribution?"
"Go back and say that there will be a big disaster for the king in the near future, and your master will naturally know it!" After saying that, Gui Junxi waved his hand: "Send off the guests!"
This man came here because of this matter and couldn't help but ponder: "After investigation, the Lord suspected that Gui Junxi was bluffing, so he sent me here."
"Whether it's a bluff or not, Gui Junxi's ability alone is incredible."
"It seems that it can be used by the Lord? You must report it immediately."
Thinking about it, the man immediately agreed and didn't want to stay any longer. He walked out quickly and could not help but breathe a sigh of relief when he got out of the door.
"Bah, what a demon."
