In the imperial capital of the Northern Jin Dynasty, there was also a Falling Immortal Tower on the most prosperous street.
If you want to ask how it is different from the one in Beiliang City, it is probably that the Immortal Falling Tower in the Imperial Capital is more majestic and spectacular.
The exaggerated floor area, the height reaching into the sky, and the magnificent architectural style all demonstrate the "financial strength" of the Falling Immortal Tower!
Even though it was almost midnight, all the eight gates of the Falling Immortal Tower were still open. But even so, the crowds of people coming and going still blocked the gates in all directions, but the guards who were guarding them were sweating all over. .
At the same time, on the middle floor of this high-rise building, there was a charming blood-red figure standing on the extended eaves. Her pretty head was slightly raised and her eyes were closed. She didn't know whether she was admiring the moon or enjoying it. A cool breeze.
While the woman was immersed in her own world, a fierce quarrel suddenly came from beneath her feet. The sound sounded like two drunk people arguing about something.
The woman slowly opened her eyes, her red lips parted slightly and let out a sigh, like a common person at Ling's feet.
Before the sigh dissipated with the breeze, a black shadow flashed out from the darkness beside the woman. When he appeared, he stopped not far from the woman. Then he knelt down on one knee respectfully and raised his head. He never raised his head even half an inch.
"Master, do you need to drive them away?"
Upon hearing the respectful inquiry, the woman stretched lazily and said in a cold tone: "It doesn't matter, just leave it to them, there is no need to make a fuss..."
"Here!" The kneeling shadow didn't have any extra words and disappeared from here in a flash.
When there was no one around, the woman let out another sigh. She looked at the bright moon that seemed so close at hand, and her eyes inadvertently showed a strong sense of lovesickness, and there was a sweet arc on the corner of her mouth.
But before she could recall it for a moment, an ear-piercing roar spread high in the sky, interrupting her recollection.
The woman turned around and looked around, just as the fireworks were in full bloom, half of the sky above the imperial capital was painted with gorgeous colors.
If ordinary people notice the scenery above, they will more or less stop and marvel at such a beautiful scenery.
But these gorgeous fireworks have another meaning in the eyes of the woman in red.
That's a specific code, representing Class A, which is the highest urgent encrypted message! Must see in person as soon as possible!
The air around the woman seemed to condense in an instant. She raised her jade hand and snapped her fingers, and the black shadow that had just disappeared for a while quickly appeared and said respectfully: "Master, please give me your instructions!"
"Take people down to clear all the doors. By the way... let those two things that disturb my purity know that my Shangguan Linshuang's Falling Immortal Tower is not a place where they can run wild!" the woman finished. Without stopping, he jumped directly up to the eaves with his toes, and soon disappeared.
Even though the sect master mentioned by the black shadow had already left, he still solemnly responded and then disappeared again...
Below, in the northwest gate of the Falling Immortal Building, the two victims, their respective younger brothers, and the shopkeeper with a troubled face were surrounded by a crowd of spectators, and the gate was blocked.
Listening to the two people's constant quarreling and cursing, the shopkeeper could do nothing. After all, without the permission of the superiors, he did not dare to offend the two young masters easily, so he had to stand between the two to persuade them, and kept saying "Yihe." "It's expensive."
To say what happened, it was actually a trivial matter. It was just a slight collision between the two of them when they went out, so it wouldn't cause a big fuss here. But what's terrible is that their two fathers, one is the current Minister of Rites, Guo Fengxing, and the other is the Minister of Punishments, Li Youzhi. The two have been at odds with each other since they were in the court, and what's even more terrible is that , one of them supported the eldest prince's succession to the throne, and the other was a retainer of the second prince.
The discord between the parents and the different choice of master made this trivial matter become an excuse to make excuses.
The shopkeeper, who was well aware of the reason, was in a dilemma. When it came to matters involving the court, he had no right to use the face of the sect owner.
Seeing that the two of them were gearing up to fight, the shopkeeper gritted his teeth and stepped forward directly in the middle of the two waves of people, thinking that even if he was being beaten today, he would not be able to do anything. Let these two young masters win the prize.
Just when the fists of the two young masters Guo and Li were about to touch the shopkeeper's fat face, two black shadows came from nowhere like magic soldiers and caught their fists firmly.
This time, the situation became awkward.
The shopkeeper in the middle did not realize that there were reinforcements beside him. His face was still trembling, waiting for the pain to come.
However, the two drunk young men suddenly became angry when they realized that they had failed to fight.
"Who are you? How dare you stop me? I am the son of the Minister of Punishment!"
"Let me go! Do you know who I am? My father, Guo Fengxing!"
They yelled at each other, and finally the shopkeeper came to his senses. He blinked his mung bean laughing eyes and looked around. When he spotted the reinforcements, he straightened up immediately.
I saw the shopkeeper arranging his messy robes and saying, "You two young masters, you come to my Falling Immortal Tower to have fun, why do you have to make such a situation?"
After saying that, the shopkeeper turned around, spread out his arms and put them on the two black-clothed arms at the same time, and whispered: "Brothers, let go first, leave this to me."
They were obedient and immediately released their fists. One of the big men with fierce eyes bowed his head slightly and whispered in the shopkeeper's ear: "The boss wants them to know whose territory this is!"
After saying that, the two men in black took a step back at the same time and stood behind the showcase.
Withdrawing their pinched fists, the two young men still glared at each other until the fat body appeared between them again. They both let out an angry snort in tacit agreement, flicked their sleeves and robes, and turned away.
The fat showcase put his hands in front of him and rubbed them, his waist slightly hunched, as if he was trying to please him, but if you look closely at his eyes, you can see that he is a little more arrogant than before.
"I mean, you two young masters, there was just a little friction. How about we reduce the big issue to the trivial matter?"
After hearing the shopkeeper's suggestion, Mr. Guo took the lead to quit. He still faced the door, raised his hand and pointed directly at Mr. Li on the other side and said: "As long as he kowtows to me and admits his mistake, Mr. Guo will forget the past!"
"Hey! I said you are shameless? You obviously knocked the wine out of my hand because of your lack of eyesight, but you still have the nerve to ask me to apologize?"
The two men, who had just stopped for a while, started fighting again. They each rolled up their sleeves and walked to the shopkeeper with half of their "slender" arms exposed. They saw spit flying but no one could make the first move.
Seeing them arguing in front of him, the shopkeeper shook his head silently, thinking that he would just use his killing move to resolve the matter.
But just as he took action to pull the two away, many people screamed outside the door.
The shopkeeper froze on the spot for a moment, his face instantly became extremely serious, and he pushed the two young men who were still confronting each other away with both arms, and at the same time shouted in a cold voice: "Someone come quickly to clear the way!"
For a moment, from top to bottom of the Falling Immortal Tower, countless men in black suddenly sprang out from hidden corners. They moved quickly. Some of them rushed to the stairs to forcefully separate the walking crowd, while others guarded everywhere. The corner was closed to people, and in the last part, someone followed the same pattern. Like the two people who appeared before, they fell from the sky. After landing, they did whatever they wanted, and directly separated the people on the passage, and then stood with their hands behind their hands to form a line. Human wall.
From the top floor to the bottom floor, and then from the stairwell on the ground floor to the gate, under the shopkeeper's order, it only took three breaths of time to set up two neat human walls in the crowded crowd, and an unobstructed path appeared. the way.
It's a pity that those couples, who were still friends with each other before, were separated inexplicably.
And what about the two young masters who were pushed away vigorously? It was only with the help of his servants that he steadied his steps. As soon as he recovered, he angrily planned to find trouble with the shopkeeper, but before he could take two steps, the black wall of people appeared in front of him.
The two people who wanted to show off looked up and saw cold eyes filled with murderous intent. They knew that these men in black were not trying to scare them, so they all retreated after swallowing their saliva.
However, Young Master Li's subordinates were not very discerning, so they leaned close to their master and asked, "Young Master, won't you get the place back?"
When Mr. Li heard this, he was furious. He turned around and slapped the person who asked the question, and growled: "I'm looking for help from your grandma! These are all dead soldiers trained by Shangguan Linshuang!" I heard that their combat power is comparable to that of the royal family’s silver-armored city guards. If I come to find you, I don’t want to seek death!”
After teaching the servants a lesson, Mr. Li seemed to have sobered up a lot. He looked around with gleaming eyes, wondering what the heck was going on, actually asking these dead men to step in and clear the way!
Just when Mr. Li was confused, the people on the platform outside the door suddenly let out a wave of exclamation, from far to near, and soon spread to the door. The last few people who exclaimed were the women on both sides of the door.
Just because an extremely terrifying thing with shabby cloth wrapped around its body and no visible human shape rushed into the door. He was walking on all fours, and his whole body was emitting bits of black mist from time to time.
Everyone was speechless when they saw the things on the ground. They were either scared or looking at them with frowns. Only the shopkeeper standing in the aisle walked towards the things on the ground with a serious look on his face. He squatted down and put his hand on it. It seems to be the position of his head.
moment!
The black mist he emitted exploded! With lightning speed, the display cabinets were swallowed up in it.
The crowds on both sides were panicked when they saw this. They wanted to flee in all directions but could not break free from this seemingly fragile human wall.
But when they discovered that the black mist had only swallowed up the shopkeeper and showed no signs of spreading, they became quiet and leaned back, hoping to get further away.
Only the two young masters Guo and Li and some knights who traveled around the world stood in front of the man in black, looking at the black mist curiously.
In the black mist, there was only black in front of the showcase, and there was no sound around him, but there was a sound in his ears.
"Qianli, urgent and secret report! Personal order from the sect leader!" The voice was that of a man, and it was quite pleasant.
The man at the showcase did not open his mouth to speak. He moved his index finger familiarly and began to tap, which meant "Where did it come from?"
"The land of the far north, the Northern Liang Territory!"
The last three words sounded, and the pupils of the showcase shrank. He did not dare to waste a moment, and hurriedly typed to tell him where to go to find the door owner, and then stood up and made way for the road behind him.
Outside the black mist, no one knew what was happening inside. All they saw was a black shadow rushing out of the black mist with a "swish" sound, leaving countless afterimages in front of everyone.
Soon, the wooden stairs made countless noises. The noises seemed to sound at the same time, but also seemed to come from the bottom up, and finally disappeared where it was difficult to distinguish.
Everyone present, except for the shopkeeper who was still in the black mist and the people in black clothes all over the floor, were stunned and couldn't figure out what happened.
When everyone was in a daze, the black mist that stayed in place dissipated towards the door, revealing the shopkeeper with a warm smile. He put his hands in his sleeves and shouted loudly: "I'm really sorry to make a fuss. There was a little incident, which has disturbed all the distinguished guests, so I hope you can pay more attention! Everyone here tonight can enjoy half price on all purchases, which is a small gift from me falling into the Immortal Tower!"
Then the shopkeeper gave another order, and all the men in black disappeared again in the blink of an eye, as if they had never appeared. Only the two strong men who appeared first had not left, and were still guarding the shopkeeper.
Seeing that the human wall blocking them was gone, everyone resumed their actions. After hesitating for a moment, they laughed and went off to do what they were supposed to do. As for what happened just now, no matter what, just take advantage of it!
Falling Immortal Tower suddenly returned to its previous lively scene, except for the two little villains at the door.
They led their respective men to find the shopkeeper, apparently intending to take revenge for the push just now.
But as soon as they reached the display cabinet, two familiar burly bodies stood in front of them again.
"Showcase man, you have such a big shelf!" Mr. Guo was the first to attack, questioning through his black clothes.
The shopkeeper in the middle sneered. He patted the two strong men and motioned for them to get away. Then with a little chill, he glanced left and right at the two aggressive young men.
"Master Guo, please don't bite Lu Dongbin!"
These words immediately angered Mr. Guo, and he said angrily: "You dare to scold me?"
Although Zhangui's face had the same smile as before, the edge in his tone was not concealed at all.
"How dare you, it's just that I helped the two young masters, you don't appreciate it!"
"you......"
Mr. Guo only said one word, and Mr. Li opposite him interrupted him.
"Guo, please be quiet! Tell me about the showcase, how did you help us?"
After being scolded, Mr. Guo temporarily suppressed his restless mood and listened to what the shopkeeper could tell him.
Sensing the unkind gazes of the two men, the shopkeeper took his time and cleared his throat before speaking seriously: "As Mr. Li and his servants just said, those who appeared today are all dead men trained by me, Miss Shangguan."
As soon as these words came out, Mr. Li's face became a little ugly. He didn't expect that the shopkeeper could hear the conversation of the person he drank under the situation just now.
The shopkeeper didn't pay attention to the reactions of the two of them, and said to himself: "They don't listen to everyone. The most I can call upon on weekdays are ordinary servants, but today I called them... He is the lady’s dead man…”
"Shangguan Lingshuang is in the imperial capital right now?" Mr. Guo blurted out.
As if not to be frightened, the shopkeeper hurriedly made a "silence" gesture towards Mr. Guo.
At this time, Mr. Guo finally echoed his father's words: in any Falling Immortal Tower, never say the words "Shangguan Linshuang" easily!
Suddenly, he fell silent.
Seeing that he stopped talking, the shopkeeper looked relieved, but there was a burst of ridicule in his heart.
"If I hadn't pushed you two away just now, it would have caused a big disaster!"
"He just appeared, but he who is eager to face the young lady can't afford to delay for a moment."
"You two are in a high position, so you should know how my young lady behaves."
As soon as he heard this, Mr. Guo's arrogance suddenly swept into his brain, and he tried to save some face by speaking out.
However, what the showcase said next made him instantly discouraged.
"What's more, in this Northern Jin Dynasty, even the emperor has to give my lady five points of thin noodles, not to mention..."
There is no need to say more about what follows. The emperor has been moved out. How dare those two sons make a mistake?
Although these words are extremely arrogant, both young masters understand that this is the truth!
Seeing that the two of them were deep in thought, the shopkeeper had a look on his face that said, "That's all." Then he led the two strong men away with his hands behind his back, leaving behind two young masters with frowning brows.
After some hard thinking, the two young masters Guo and Li looked at each other angrily. After only a moment, they each waved their hands and left, unwillingly ending today's conflict.
Just as they stepped out of the door, the disappearing black figure suddenly appeared in front of a secret door in Falling Immortal Tower. He stopped in front of the door and released black mist. After accepting the interrogation of the gatekeeper, he entered The room in front of me...
