Ten minutes later, Sangsang came out of the bathroom in her nightgown, only to find that Lao Daobaozi, who had been sleeping soundly, opened his eyes at some point and sat on the head of the bed, looking at her quietly.
Sangsang let out an exclamation.
"Master, why are you awake?"
"You took twice as long to wash today than usual."
The old man said this indifferently.
He was indeed asleep just now, but as a strong person in the Fetal Movement Realm, even if he was asleep, his spiritual consciousness would still keep monitoring and sensing the surrounding environment.
Any abnormal situation will make him wake up.
For example, the sound of running water in the bathroom was louder than usual for a few minutes today.
This is also somewhat unusual.
"Master, you were so awesome today. Sangsang's body was sore and numb because of you. Just now she couldn't move in there for a long time."
Sang Sangmei smiled and said.
Then he came to the bedside and leaned close to Lao Daobaozi's arms.
"Master, do you want it again?"
...I have to say that this new female disciple he received is indeed naturally charming, so Lao Daobaozi once again doted on the female disciple before falling asleep.
...Sang Sang glanced at the bald man next to her, then closed her eyes. Her eyelashes were trembling slightly, showing that she was not asleep, but had countless thoughts in her heart, but she still controlled her heartbeat and breathing. , making his physical signs seem to be in a deep sleep state.
Because the man next to him, although he said that the old man was a very cautious person during the day, he was actually a more cautious and suspicious person.
Although she seems to be extremely favored by him and is allowed to sleep with him at night, in fact, she has never truly trusted herself. For example, in the past six months, she has not even been able to leave this place, and the task she wants to complete has not yet been completed. No chance in sight.
Soon after, Sangsang finally fell asleep for real.
When she opened her eyes again, she was the only one left on the big bed, and Lao Daobaozi had left at some point.
He should be very busy today.
Sangsang thought so, then got up from the bed, walked into the bathroom, took off her nightgown, revealing... her body.
She turned on the water from the shower head again. Sangsang stood under the spray of water from the shower head. Looking at her perfect body in the mirror opposite, her face once again showed the weird look from last night. A desperate smile.
The water rushed over her body, and then this beautiful body gradually dissolved into the water, like a ball of filth in the air, washed into the sewer by the water.
Half a year after coming to Lao Daobaozi, Sangsang left here for the first time.
Lao Dao Bao Zi taught her how to practice, but he never taught her any Tao skills, so Lao Dao Bao Zi never worried that she would leave secretly. Not long after he succeeded in channeling qi, a practitioner who did not have any Tao skills would not be better than How powerful ordinary people are, I'm afraid they can't even defeat some of the bodyguards here.
It's just that Lao Daobaozi didn't know that his female disciple was actually good at Taoism.
When Sang Sang came to Lao Dao Bao Zi, she was indeed just an ordinary mortal, so Lao Dao Bao Zi accepted her as his disciple with confidence.
But what Lao Daobaozi never expected was that before coming to his side, Sangsang had already memorized the training formula of a certain Taoist technique. As long as he succeeded in attracting Qi, he could practice it by himself.
This Taoist technique is naturally the one that Sangsang performed just now, which magically blends into the water flow.
Its name is Water Release Jutsu, and to be more precise, it is a ninjutsu.
Of course, Sangsang would never dare to use this ninjutsu when Lao Dao Baozi was around her, because any fluctuation in spiritual power might arouse Lao Dao Baozi's vigilance. So last night, she really just took a shower. It's just a long time.
A few minutes later, in a room two miles away from the gambling shop run by Lao Daobaozi, also in a bathroom, the same
It was from the drain under the shower head that a white foam-like water suddenly appeared.
Then the water turned into Sangsang's naked body.
There is a separate water pipe connecting the sewer of this room to the sewer of Lao Daobaozi's gambling stall and opium den.
Half a year ago, the Yuzhang City City Hall organized manpower to proactively repair all the underground pipes in this neighborhood. This was unprecedented for the bureaucracy of the Republic of China, which had always been inefficient and as long as there were no major problems, there was no problem.
Of course, the real reason is that the Minister of Civil Affairs received a large bribe.
The main purpose of that project was actually to install a special water pipe between the sewer where Lao Daobaozi lived and the sewer of a house two kilometers away.
It's just that Lao Daobaozi may never know about this matter.
Although he is a strong person in the Fetal Movement Realm and a very meticulous, shrewd and careful person, there are some things that cannot be touched by his thinking mode.
After all, he is essentially an ancient man from three hundred years ago.
This is also a common problem among many practitioners. The higher their cultivation level, the less they pay attention to mortal matters. Whether it is thinking or concepts, they will stay hundreds of years ago and be extremely stubborn.
At this time, Sang Sang's body reappeared in this unfamiliar bathroom. She looked around and saw that this was a men's bathroom, and there was no trace of any woman using it.
Then she opened the door and walked out. Outside the bathroom was not a bedroom, but a room similar to a study. There were tables, tatami mats, bookcases, pens and ink. The furnishings were very simple, but they made Sangsang surge up. A kind and familiar feeling, as if I have returned to my real hometown.
This room, which is full of the style of the Land of the Rising Sun and looks like a study room, is empty.
Following the process that he had recited countless times, Sangsang came to the bookshelf and moved a thick book in the second shelf of the third row, revealing a button on the wall behind it.
Sangsang pressed the button.
Then he put the books back on the bookshelf, came to the short table, knelt down on the tatami, and began to wait.
[In view of the general environment,
She didn't wait long. About ten minutes later, the door to this room was pushed open from the outside.
A man in kimono walked in from outside.
The man in the kimono is in his forties, with thin cheeks, a hooked nose, and a cold expression. It is obvious that he is a man with a firm will and ruthless methods.
"Greetings to Uchikura-sama."
When the man came in, Sangsang immediately knelt down and kowtowed to the man.
At this time, she was completely naked, and lying on the ground in such a posture..., the perfect body curves were fully exposed, and any normal man would probably have his blood boiling when he saw this scene.
But there was no emotion in the kimono man's eyes, and he was still extremely cold.
"What's wrong with you coming back?"
The man in kimono said coldly:
"Could it be that you already know how to control the Jade Book of Gold?"
"Lord Uchikura, Kuangzi has not fully gained his trust, and there is currently no progress in the mission."
Sangsang said respectfully.
"Then what are you doing back? Now our Imperial Army is fighting fiercely with Dahua in Shen City. Once Shen City is captured, an army will be sent straight up the river. Yuzhang City is the next target. Our operation The task of the team is to ensure that the practitioners in Yuzhang City will not cause any obstacles to the Imperial Team."
"You have to gain his trust as soon as possible and ensure that this person will not interfere in the war between mortals. It is best to win him over to our side. If you find that he may take action against the Imperial Army, report it immediately and send him to us in advance. This person is cleared."
"Hai, Sangzi understands, but I'm afraid Sangzi won't be able to complete the mission!"
"idiot,
Do you want to betray the empire and the Black Dragon Society? "
A cold light flashed in the kimono man's eyes, and a sinister aura filled his body.
"Don't forget your family, because you are enjoying a comfortable life in the empire now, but maybe because of you, you will live in hell in the future."
The woman whose real name should probably be Sang Zi had a look of fear and sadness on her face.
"Lord Uchikura, Sangzi would never dare to betray the empire, betray the Black Dragon Society, and betray your lord. But yesterday Sangzi heard about a very important thing, but Sangzi was also asked to drip blood on the jade ultimatum and gold book. No way. Tell others about it, or they will die soon."
The man in kimono was slightly startled, then immediately asked:
"whats the matter?"
As for Sangzi's life or death, he didn't care at all.
"They found a dragon, a living dragon!"
"What!"
The kimonoed man's body suddenly froze there, with a look of disbelief in his eyes.
"This is impossible!"
The extremely calm look on the man in the kimono completely disappeared at this moment.
"Lord Uchikura, there should be no falsehood in this matter..."
Then Sangzi told in detail what happened at the gathering of life-sellers yesterday.
The kimono man's expression changed rapidly, and in the end, he showed an expression of extreme excitement and excitement.
"...If it's true...If it's true...then our Black Dragon Society's plan will have a major breakthrough..."
The man in kimono kept mumbling to himself, then his face turned extremely serious and solemn, and he said in a deep voice to Sangzi:
"After you go back, you must find out where the dragon is."
"The priority of this task is higher than the original priority of exploring the control method of the Jade ultimatum and the golden book."
"Also, if you die, how can you prevent that person from suspecting that you died because you revealed the secret and were punished by the Jade Certificate and the Golden Book?"
Such a cold thing was obviously discussing the life and death of others, but when it came out of the kimono man's mouth, it was as ordinary as asking someone what they had for dinner today.
Sangsang's face turned extremely pale.
But it's not Lord Uchikura's ruthless attitude. How can people like them be qualified to pray for mercy from others.
But after telling the secret about the dragon, her face slowly turned pale.
At the same time, she could clearly feel that something was passing rapidly inside her body, which seemed to be her... life.
"Lord Uchikura, I will disguise myself as someone who died of a mental disorder, and I will never make that person suspicious."
"In addition, my lord, as long as you secretly follow Lao Daobaozi, you will surely find the whereabouts of the dragon."
Sangsang lowered his head, suppressing the desolation and despair in his heart, and said softly.
The man in kimono was silent for a moment, and finally said something calmly.
"Your family will have a good life in the future."
"Thank you, Uchikura-sama."
…
Ten miles outside Yuzhang City, there is a beautiful lake called East Lake, which is one of the most famous scenic spots in Yuzhang City.
On the bank of East Lake, there is an even more famous academy, the East Lake Academy.
In the history of the Great China Dynasty, there were countless famous Confucian officials who came out of this academy.
However, what few people know is that this academy is not an ordinary academy. It is also a Confucian school in the world of spiritual practice and one of the twenty-eight most important academies in the world.
In the early morning of this day, Xu Jingsheng and his junior sister Xia Xiaohong returned to East Lake Academy.
As soon as he entered the door, he grabbed a junior fellow apprentice who happened to be passing by and asked with a pout:
"Master, where is he now?"
The junior fellow student was startled by Xu Jingsheng's anxious expression and felt a little unsure.
said:
"Master, he seems to be drinking tea by the lake..."
Soon after, Xu Jingsheng found Chen Shanming drinking tea by the lake.
Although the junior brother just said it casually, the disciples of East Lake Academy all know that for at least twelve hours of the twenty-four hours a day, their master Chen Shanming is drinking tea by the lake. Wherever you sit by the lake, you just enjoy the scenery.
Chen Shanming, the headmaster of East Lake Academy and famous for his erudition in twenty-eight academies and even the entire Seven Immortals Alliance, is a middle-aged man who looks extremely elegant and gentle. Every move he makes is chic and elegant.
At this time, he was sitting among a patch of green grass by the East Lake, with a simple and elegant tea set in front of him. He was burning the stove to make tea, pouring himself a drink, and admiring the sunrise view of the East Lake.
Xu Jingsheng ran all the way to him and was about to speak.
Chen Shanming raised his hand to stop him.
"My teacher has told you many times that whenever there is a big event, you need to be calm. This is one of the most important mental methods for our Confucian practice."
Chen Shanming smiled and looked at his most proud and admired disciple, and handed over a cup of freshly brewed tea.
"Come, drink this cup of tea first, and then tell me what happened."
Xu Jingsheng gritted his teeth and poured the cup of boiling tea down his throat.
Chen Shanming laughed dumbly. It seemed that his three disciples were really a little anxious today.
Then he lifted the boiling teapot from the small stove and started brewing a new cup of tea, while asking leisurely:
"Okay, tell me what happened when you went out this time."
"Master, I found a dragon, a living dragon."
"What?"
Chen Shanming shook his hand and poured the boiling water directly on the back of his other hand. However, without realizing it, he hurriedly stood up and knocked down the precious tea set in front of him. Staring at his third disciple, he asked again:
"What did you say?"
