The clerk's words, which sounded like he didn't want to be beaten, coupled with his voice that sounded even more unbeatable, were enough to forcefully persuade any ordinary person who was curious about Si Tianjian to leave.
However, after he finished speaking today, he found that neither of the two people in front of him moved. Then Lu Jing took out the wooden sign from his arms and handed it over.
The clerk took the wooden sign and saw Lu Jing's name appeared on the back. The original lazy look on his face immediately disappeared. He handed the wooden sign back to Lu Jing with both hands, and then asked politely, "Are you new? ?”
"Yes, I just passed the academy exam a few days ago." Lu Jing replied.
"No wonder, many people have been offended before," the clerk then explained. "Generally, the supervisors in the department enter directly and don't ask if anyone is there. When I heard you shouting, I thought you came from nowhere. Chinese."
Lu Jingdao, "This is indeed our first time here and we don't know the rules here."
"It doesn't matter. There's a first time for everything. I'll take you inside."
After saying that, the clerk led the way and led Lu Jing through the hall, but it was not in the direction of the Star Observation Tower.
Lu Jing was a little curious and asked, "Doesn't the office conduct official business at the Star Observation Tower on weekdays?"
"Yes, but you definitely won't be able to get in if you go directly from the main entrance." The clerk replied, "The main reason is to prevent ordinary people from entering by mistake, especially since there are so many princes and princesses in the capital. They are really going to come one day. If you're interested, if you insist on coming up to look at the stars or something, I won't stop you.
"But what they ended up climbing on wasn't a real stargazing tower."
"Like this?"
While he was talking, the clerk stopped in front of a wall. Then he first lit the second candle on the candlestick beside him, then picked up a T-shaped wooden hammer next to him and knocked the fifth candle on the right side three times. chimes.
After a while, when the bell started to ring, a large door appeared on the wall.
The clerk stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation.
Lu Jing thanked him, silently noted the clerk's previous actions, and then led Amu and Black Cat into the door on the wall.
After entering the building, Lu Jing felt his eyes go dark. When he opened his eyes again, he found that he was already standing in a tall building.
There was a busy scene inside the building.
In the center is a huge copper tree. There are hundreds of nightingales perched on the tung trees, chirping non-stop, and new nightingales are flying in from the small crescent-shaped window on the south wall.
Those nightingales who flew into the Star Observation Tower had notes tied to their legs. Some flew upstairs, but more landed downstairs and lined up obediently.
Waiting for the people in Tsing Yi to come forward, take off the notes from their legs, feed them, and then fly up to the copper tree to rest.
In addition, some nightingales who had had enough rest were called down from the bronze trees by the Tsing Yi people, tied with notes, and then flew out of the small moon-shaped window.
Although there were many nightingales in the building, everything seemed orderly.
Lu Jing, Amu and Black Cat were all stunned as they watched.
One person, one wooden mannequin, and one cat obviously didn't expect that the mysterious Si Tianjian Star Observation Building was actually a large nightingale breeding center.
Then I saw a man in Tsing Yi who was feeding the nightingales suddenly put down the small basin with dried insects in his hand, walked up, pointed at the black cat on the wooden block and asked, "Is this cat yours?"
This question left Lu Jing a little unable to answer. In theory, he brought the cat in, but in fact, he had no control over Amu's new friend.
On the other hand, Amu himself didn't know whether he understood or not, but anyway, the little wooden mannequin nodded.
"Please, sir, please keep an eye on your cat and don't let it eat the nightingales in the department." The man in Tsing Yi said, and then asked, "I don't know, you two... Hey, are you not a human being, are you a monster?"
The man in Tsing Yi was afraid that the black cat would hurt him, so he stayed very close to Amu, but he finally saw through the disguise of the wooden mannequin.
Amu was so frightened that he quickly hid behind Lu Jing.
The man in Tsing Yi was a little curious. He raised his head and asked Lu Jing, "Is this your weird thing? I seem to have never seen it before. Well, there is no similar record in the book."
Lu Ding nodded, "I am a new student in the academy. I want to take Amu, oh, this little wooden man, to study in the academy, so I came to the office to register."
"I see." The man in green nodded, "Then I will take you to the Inspection Department first."
When Lu Jing heard the name, he couldn't help but feel a little worried, "How are you going to test Amu?"
"Generally speaking, the identification of strange objects is a very complex and cumbersome matter, because the strange objects themselves cannot be speculated by common sense, so we can only determine their identity through their past behavior and necessary tests and observations. effects and assess the harm they may cause
"But..." The man in Tsing Yi changed the topic, "There are exceptions to everything."
"What's the meaning?"
The man in Tsing Yi did not answer immediately, but asked instead, "Has this... Amu done harm to the world, and has his hands stained with the blood of mortals?"
Lu Jing shook his head, "As far as I know, there is no such thing. Amu is very timid and has never bullied small animals."
"Very good. There is no need to do any tests or observations. We will go directly to see the judge. Si Tianjian fully respects the privacy of every supervisor. Although you are still in the academy, the same applies to alternate supervisors.
"As long as the judge decides that the magic object you are holding is harmless to the world, you can only leave its shape and number when entering it into the book, and leave other places blank for the time being." The man in green said.
"Is this okay?" Lu Jing was surprised.
The man in Tsing Yi looked like he was taking it for granted, and nodded, "Everyone has secrets, it's normal, and the supervisors are no exception. When Si Tianjian was first established more than a thousand years ago, almost all of the seniors Everyone possesses miraculous objects, and many people have more than one in their hands.
"Although they all agree to register the weird things in the world for the purpose of management, most people don't want to show all their trump cards. Naturally, they can understand what the younger generations are thinking after a thousand years, so there is this additional provisions.
"Otherwise, the supervisors will be exposed to weird things all their lives, and it is impossible for Si Tianjian to find out all the things he has secretly hidden. Rather than making both parties uncomfortable, it is better for each side to take a step back."
The man in green said, "It's not just Amu. If you have other monsters reported for registration in the future, as long as they pass the judge's decision and then go back to the office for review at least once every three years, it will be fine."
"Thanks for letting me know."
"Ha, that's all. Let's go and see the judge."
The man in Tsing Yi then took Lu Jing to the underground inspection department.
Lu Jing originally thought the judge was an expert from Si Tianjian, but he didn't expect it to be a Pixiu statue.
The statue is about two people tall and resembles jade and gold.
In his previous life, Lu Jing had also heard the name Pixiu. Legend has it that this mythical beast obeyed the orders of the Jade Emperor and patrolled the sky to prevent demons and ghosts from causing trouble in heaven.
