"Look! The hall is on fire!"
On the way, two guards patrolling the official palace happened to pass by the main hall. One of the guards glanced at the main hall, and then exclaimed.
"Nonsense! This is the underworld, how can we light a fire?" Of course the other guard was disdainful and responded casually. But when he turned around to look, his face was full of surprise: "There is no light and color, only smoke and dust! It turns out to be a yin fire! This hall has been empty for a long time, how come there is a fire suddenly?"
"What are you still talking about there? This hall is full of important records that have been accumulated. It would be tragic if they were burned down!"
"That's right! Hurry! Go get the Yin water!" The other person also reacted, lifted up his leg armor, spread his legs and rushed outside.
"Palace Master...huh? Why are you two bastards? You don't have eyesight! Are you in a hurry to reincarnate?" As soon as the two of them passed the corner, they almost bumped into an approaching figure, who exclaimed in surprise, Cursed loudly.
"Captain..." The two men saw the person coming and apologized hurriedly, then pointed in the distance and said: "Captain, something is wrong! The hall is on fire!"
"Fire?" The captain frowned and saw billowing smoke pouring out from the palace door. He also muttered to himself: "It's really on fire..." After that, he didn't say anything more and rushed towards the main hall. .
When the two guards saw the captain leaving, they didn't dare to delay any longer, and sped up and rushed into the distance...
At this time, at the door of the official palace, at first glance, it does look like thick smoke billowing, but if you look closely, you will find that the thick smoke is just a piece of dust. And among the dust, there was a busy figure, whipping up the dust into visible whirlwinds.
"That boy inside, have you seen the master of the hall?" The captain straightened his clothes and called in a low voice to the hall.
"..."
After finishing his words, no one responded after a while. The captain frowned and could only raise his voice a little higher: "Are you deaf? Why am I talking to you? Have you seen where the palace master has gone? "
The figure inside was startled for a moment, then he pushed aside the smoke and came out: "What's the matter?"
After seeing this figure clearly, the captain's face turned pale with fright: "House...House Master, you are so rude! I didn't know it was you..."
"It doesn't matter." The person inside was none other than Qing She, but at this moment he looked disgraced and looked very embarrassed.
"Lord Hall Master, how can you do this kind of trivial matter yourself? Didn't I help you arrange helpers? These bastards... are hiding somewhere to be lazy again. When I see them, I will deal with them severely! "The captain rolled up his sleeves and headed into the hall.
"Don't be impatient. I sent those people away." Qing She smiled nonchalantly and said lightly: "The information here has been piled up for too long and is messy. Since I have nothing to do, I thought of using the opportunity of cleaning to sort it out. Ichiban, I'm sorting the things inside, it's best for others not to interfere."
"That's right..." The captain nodded and stepped back.
Since they separated that day, Qingshe has never seen the captain. Whenever I want to ask him something, he can't be found. Even if he sends someone to help with cleaning, he can only rely on his hands. Please help convey it.
It can be said that the person in front of me never goes to the Three Treasures Palace for anything. Qingshe is also a little suspicious: "You came this time... but what happened to report?"
"No...no..." the captain suddenly hesitated, and then suddenly changed his words: "No, there is...something happened!"
Qingshe frowned: "Then...is it there or not?"
"Yes...some!" The captain gritted his teeth, then knelt on the ground with a plop, "A small crime deserves death, and you still want the Lord of the Palace to punish you?"
Qing She was startled by this man's reaction and stepped forward to lift him up: "What are you going to do? Please get up quickly!"
"I won't get up no matter what if I don't get forgiven by the Lord of the Palace!" The captain said stubbornly.
"Then you have to tell me the reason, right?" Qingshe laughed dumbly.
Having said this, the captain no longer dared to hide anything, and said in a deep voice: "Master, please forgive me for avoiding you, but this... it is really because I feel guilty that I dare not meet you..." The captain took a deep breath and finally said: "My Lord, in fact, the old Lord is not dead..."
Qingshe raised his eyebrows: "I know this."
"Ah?" The captain was a little dumbfounded, "What? You already know?"
Now it was Qingshe's turn to be confused: "Didn't Senior discuss this matter with you?"
"That's what I said...but the old palace master never told me that you knew..." the captain said with an ugly expression.
"Maybe the senior wants to be on the safe side and doesn't want others to see his flaws." Qingshe said calmly, "Get up! It's not convenient to talk here. Let's go into the main hall and talk..."
"Okay... okay..." the captain responded hurriedly and followed Qing She.
But just as he stepped through the door, he heard a cry from behind: "Captain! We will rescue you right now!"
"Huh?" As soon as the captain turned around, he saw a bucket of yin water coming towards him, turning him into a drowned rat.
"Captain! Come out quickly! It's dangerous inside!" Another person ran over with a bucket, shouting.
"Dangerous bullshit! Get out of here!"
Seeing the captain yelling in anger, the two guards realized that something was wrong and ran away in despair.
However, after such an episode, the captain's nervousness eased a lot...
"Actually, I still have a doubt."
"My Lord, it's okay to say so."
"You said before that your senior said, 'Whoever can kill him will inherit the position of the Lord of the Palace'?"
"Sigh... It's not too much trouble to explain this matter." The captain sighed and continued: "At present, the strength of the six halls is very different, and the Li Hall has been being squeezed out! Although our Li Hall and the other four halls are considered allies, But once the problem of the Ceremony Palace is solved, I’m afraid it will be the Li Palace’s turn next..."
Qingshe signaled the captain to stop and continued to ask: "I have read a lot of the rules of the Sixth Hall these days. Doesn't it say that people in the Sixth Hall should love each other and not make things difficult for each other?"
The captain looked bitter: "These rules were set by the Ghost Emperor, and they are indeed impeccable. However, the resources in the underworld are limited after all, and everyone in the Sixth Palace must seek benefits for themselves overtly and covertly in order to preserve them for a long time..."
Although the captain didn't explain what he meant, Qing She already understood what he meant and just nodded slightly.
"Many informants have been planted in the Li Palace over the years, and they are slowly eroding the strength of the Li Palace. So the old palace master gave me a task, and asked me to take this opportunity to deal with those informants one by one, and come to the rescue. Eliminate hidden dangers in the official palace."
Qingshe smiled helplessly, no wonder he kept hearing the news of people dying even though he didn't take any action at that time. After a long time, this is all a good show arranged by the senior and the captain...
Looking at the messy books in front of him again, Qingshe also understood in his heart. When he first came here, he thought that the senior had no interest in the affairs of the palace. Now it seems that the latter deliberately pretended like this in order to make those informants relax their guard.
"So this matter really needs no delay..." Qingshe gradually realized the seriousness of the matter, and then suddenly asked: "Do you know where weapons are sold in Fengdu?"
The captain thought for a moment: "Ordinary weapons can be found everywhere, but I don't know what the palace master's requirements are for weapons?"
"You have also seen my skills. These ordinary weapons cannot withstand it at all, so I want to find a weapon that can withstand the energy of Taiyin. If it is a sword... that would be even better." At this point Here, Qingshe is a little lost.
"Can it withstand the weapons of the Palace Master's technique?" The captain frowned, and then suddenly remembered something, "Ouch! How could I forget this!"
"Lord Hall Master, I heard that there is a Vientiane Market in the underworld. There are countless rare treasures in it. There should be weapons that meet your requirements!"
"Vientiane Market?" Qingshe's eyes lit up, "Where is it?"
"About the Vientiane Market, my subordinates have only heard about it, but they don't know anything else..." The captain was a little disappointed, "But the guy in the door hall may know..."
"Hudian" Qingshe was a little embarrassed, "I just arrived here, and I haven't had time to visit the hall masters yet. Now I have to come to ask for help when I have something to do. Isn't this a little inappropriate..."
"Don't worry, Palace Master, this guy is not in the Hudian, but here..." The captain stretched out his hand and roughly described it to Qing She, "And this guy should be familiar to Palace Master... He He was the teacup ghost who led you to me that day!"
"Is it it?" Qingshe was slightly startled. No wonder he had never seen it in the Li Palace. It turned out that it was not from the Li Palace at all.
Now that we are talking about this, Qingshe apologizes for accidentally injuring the captain that day. But the latter shook his head repeatedly, saying that this situation not only did not hinder him, but also reduced a lot of resistance when he was on the road, and he was much lighter than before, which made Qingshe dumbfounded for a while.
The two chatted for a few more words, and Qingshe followed the captain's instructions and left the official palace.
Qingshe wore a white paper mask when he became the Taiyin King and became the head of the Li Hall. He was worried that going out like this would attract the attention of interested people, so he found a dark place and put the white paper mask away, and then he felt relieved. Go forward boldly.
He was being led the way before, and he didn't have time to carefully observe the surrounding situation. Now he was walking alone in Fengdu, and he had an illusion in a trance, as if Fengdu was no different from the mortal world.
"Take a look, take a look!" A vendor on the roadside was shouting loudly. When he saw the green house passing by, his voice stopped and stopped him: "This little brother, are we somewhere?" I’ve seen you before, why do you look more familiar to me the more I look at you?”
Although Qingshe clearly remembered that he had taken off the white paper mask, he still subconsciously touched his face when he heard this and asked aloud: "Where have you met me?"
"Well..." The vendor didn't expect this person to reply like this. He was a little stunned, and then he smiled: "Anyway, I feel friendly when I see you, why not... you come and see what you need here, I I’ll give you a discount!”
"..."
"Could this Fengdu be owned by your family? Why do you look familiar to everyone you meet?" Someone next to him sneered.
Qingshe smiled and understood the situation before him, then shook his head and turned around to leave.
"Hey, what nonsense are you talking about! This little brother and I hit it off right away... Ouch! Little brother, don't leave! You bastard, you've ruined my business again!"
"What does it have to do with me? Isn't your thing not attractive enough?"
Hearing the shouting behind him, Qingshe never looked back, leaving only the two vendors struggling there...
