Chapter 131: Ask the Metropolis for help
Mr. Pan San is fifty-seven years old this year. He is an experienced veteran of the Xuanfu Army. He is so rich that he is tired of war and only hopes to spend his old age safely. Therefore, he is very satisfied with the princess' arrangements and is willing to be a leisurely messenger at the Pangshan Immortals Club.
But he still retained the habits of many soldiers, such as being good at observing, and being able to recognize those who may be dangerous at a glance, and not seeing each other. Therefore, the boy explained it for a moment and knew who he was talking about, "Yes, she came at least once a month, usually a few days at the end of the month, stayed in the hotel in the evening, left in the early morning of the next day, and did not see outsiders, nor did she communicate with the customers in the store."
"Hey, you seem to be very interested in this woman. Didn't you say she is ugly?" Xin Youtao curled up on the chair, not looking at the veteran, but stared at a small statue on the table.
Mr. Pan San had long been accustomed to the contemptuous attitude of the nobles, and the prince's performance was very kind, so he smiled and looked at the two-year-old boys in the room a few times, thinking that they were old enough to talk about some sensitive topics. He had already been on the battlefield when he was so old and witnessed his fellow villager bitten into two pieces by demons.
"Although that woman looks average, she looks not young, but her butt twists when she walks... Haha, she looks like an old woman pretending to be a silly woman, and her magic power is very strong, so I naturally need to observe it more."
"Can you tell that she has great magic power?" Xin Youtao glanced at the veteran, obviously not convinced.
"I have seen demons and Taoists, and I have a...special feeling for them."
Xin Youtao curled his lips and no longer cared about the veteran's ideas. Xiaoqiu was very curious, "The Taoist priests changed their bodies and appearances. Can you recognize them?"
"Yeah." Mr. Pan smiled and nodded, "It's actually not particularly difficult. Whether it's Taoist or demon, the changing image is definitely not flawed for ordinary people like me, but they will reveal a unique temperament, just like-" The veteran looked at the prince before continuing, "It's like a nobleman who went on private visits in a private manner. His dress and behavior were fine, but he was a big man after all, and he always showed a 'oh, so that's it' to some of the most common things. They didn't think there was anything, and those around him who carefully observed it would immediately know that this person was different."
Xiao Qiushen laughed out loud, and he suddenly remembered Xin Youtao's clumsy performance when he wanted to win over him.
Xin Youtao frowned, "You still didn't say what kind of Taoist priests have."
"That's a feeling, I can't explain it." Mr. Pan San replied briefly. He did not lie. He was a soldier. As long as he could make a quick judgment, there was never a need to express all his feelings clearly.
Of course, Xin Youtao wouldn't pester a veteran and asked, and said to Mu Xingqiu: "Do you really think she can help you?"
"Well, only her, Pang Shan's Taoist priests can do it."
In order to re-enter the Yangshen Peak, Xiaoqiu had to find a Taoist priest above Gu Xia to help. The first thing he thought of was Lin Sa. However, Lin Dushui was recuperating and had always opposed Xiaoqiu's entry into the Heart Department. The second candidate was Zuo Liuying. This idea was rejected. The head of the Ban Secret Department was not a person who could make a deal. He appointed Mu Xingqiu as a research tool, but would not provide any help outside of this.
So Xiaoqiu told his friends that Sun Yulu's name was the seconded by the Duanjingshan Taoist tutor last year.
The friends were surprised at first and soon provided information in a verbal manner. Yang Qingyin said: "I know this person, she is still at Yangshen Peak, and she is the secondment teacher who has been in Pangshan for the longest time."
"I heard that the Sun Du Cult has successfully persuaded several Pangshan disciples to choose the Lanzhu Department." Xiao Qingtao added that Luanjing Mountain only accepts female disciples, so she can learn more rumors.
The most important information was Zhou Ping, "Sun Du Teach? I have seen her at the Fairy Collection more than once, and she did not show her true face, but I remember what she looked like after the illusion was similar to when she led the disciples of Luanjingshan to visit the Patriarch Tower a few years ago."
Zhou Ping was greedy for worldly enjoyment and often went to the fairy fairy market to buy wine and groceries. He recognized Sun Du Sect, but Sun Du Sect didn't remember this disciple of Pangshan.
In this way, Xiaoqiu and Xin Youtao came to the fairy festival. They originally wanted to inquire about the general situation from Mr. Pan San, but they did not expect that the veterans had already grasped the information they wanted.
"You guys came very coincidentally. That woman is very good at coming today." Mr. Pan San looked out the window. It was almost dusk, and the illusioned female Taoist priest should be coming.
"Didn't you say she usually comes at the end of the month? Today is the ninth day of the lunar month." Xin Youtao said.
"The end of the month is the day she must come. She will come occasionally. She stayed one night yesterday and left today, but the room has not returned. I guess she will come back again."
Xin Youtao didn't say anything more, thinking that the veteran should reveal the information first. He pointed to the statue on the table, "I didn't expect you are also an ancient god cult."
Mr. Pan became serious, "I am a poor man, and all the poor believe in the ancient god."
Xiaoqiu had already noticed the strange statue: the entrenched snake body, with its upper half upright, with three heads on it, one of which was a skeleton, the other without facial features, a complicated strange character written on its face, and the last one was a rich female statue.
Xiaoqiu is also a poor man. He has never seen such a statue, nor has he heard of the Ancient God Cult.
Mr. Pan San walked to the table, raised his left hand to protect it above the statue, and introduced: "The snake body means ancient times. There was no Taoist rule at that time. Demons were just slaves crawling at the feet of the ancient gods. Humans were the most popular race of the ancient gods. The ancient god even gave his appearance to humans. The ancient gods had three heads, and the skeletons represented death. Everyone had one death. After death, the soul returned to the ancient gods; women represented compassion, the ancient gods pity the world and responded to their requests; the other head represented no difference, regardless of men, women, old, young, rich and humble, they could be protected by the ancient gods."
"There is a word written on it." Xiaoqiu said.
"That's not a word, it's an indiscriminate sign. We usually pronounce it as 'thunder'."
"Ray? What's the point?"
"The meaning of no difference." Mr. Pan San said in confusion, feeling that he had explained it very clearly.
"Ha." Xin Youtao laughed, "You are still serious. This is a story compiled by a few poor people, just self-comfort. Where does it have so many meanings? It's been a long time ago, but it's only been circulating for three or four hundred years. There are not many people who truly believe in it. Talismans, only talismans are the real gods of the Holy Talisman Dynasty and the subjects of the twelve vassal states."
Mr. Pan opened his mouth and said nothing. The ancient gods were the belief of the poor. There was no need to explain to the prince, so he respectfully moved the statue of the god several inches to the side and stayed away from the prince to show his attitude.
Xin Youtao didn't care, pointed out the window and winked at Xiaoqiu.
Sun Yulu really came. It was indeed the middle-aged woman who came to Yangshen Peak a few years ago. She lowered her head and walked into the courtyard of the inn, suddenly stopped, changed direction, and actually walked towards Mr. Pan San's room.
The three of them hurriedly retracted their heads, and Mr. Pan whispered: "This woman is not simple..."
As soon as he finished speaking, a knock on the door sounded outside.
The three of them stood up, looked at each other, and Xiaoqiu went to open the door.
The door opened, and Sun Yulu, who was standing at the door, showed her true face. She smiled slightly and stepped into the house.
Mr. Pan San was stunned. He was a veteran of countless people. Most of the military pay and rewards he earned from fighting hard on the battlefield were thrown into the pile of rouge. But he had never seen such a gorgeous and heart-warming woman. Even if the princess... he immediately cut off his random thoughts. He truly respected the princess, and even in his heart, he would not have any blasphemy to her.
"No one can escape the eyes of the veteran." Sun Yulu said with a smile, "If I show my face again, I will be disrespectful to Mr. Pan San."
The other party even knew his name. The experienced Mr. Pan San felt weak on his knees and really wanted to kneel down and express his repentance and respect to this beautiful woman immediately.
"Fellow Daoist Xin, I wonder if I can use this house?"
Xin Youtao not only despised Pan San's vulgarity, but also felt that Sun Yulu was much more gorgeous than she had in her memory. She coughed awkwardly, "Of course, I... let's go to the market to buy some groceries."
Xin Youtao took the veteran away, and as soon as he walked out of the inn gate, he said, "Remember, she is at least one hundred years old."
Mr. Pan San looked at the prince blankly and immediately realized that this sentence was not for him to hear.
In the room, Sun Yulu smiled and said, "I heard that you have condensed the pill and are ready to join the Nianxin Department. Congratulations."
"Thank you for your concern to Master Sun." Sun Yulu took the initiative to come to the door and disrupted Xiaoqiu's plan, but he quickly calmed down, "I want to ask you to do me a favor."
Sun Yulu tilted her head slightly, her face full of interest, as if she had been waiting for this day, Xiaoqiu regretted it a little. The disciples of Luanjing Mountain were somewhat strange, always as if they had hidden their unspeakable purpose. In the past, Grandma Feng was like this, and now Sun Yulu was like this. The original plan was very normal, but when they were face to face, they seemed a little reckless.
But Sun Yulu once hinted that Xiaoqiu should join the Nianxin Department, which is the most likely to help. So he said: "I hope you can take me into the Patriarch Tower of Yangshen Peak."
"Oh? Do you want to reconfirm your inheritance?"
"It's not just that. The descendant of the Nianxin Academy seems to want to tell me something. I didn't pay attention to it at that time, but it's very important to think about it now."
Sun Yulu nodded long, "Can no one in Pangshan take you in?"
"I am the only disciple of the Nianxin Department. I can't find seniors in Pangshan to help me."
Sun Yulu thought for a while, "You know, I support you very much in the Ninjixin Department. If you can restore the inheritance of Ninjixin from you, it will be a good thing for the Ninjitong."
"Yes, I know, so I'll come...please help."
Sun Yulu smiled, "But do you know why I support you?"
"I hope everyone can tell me." Xiaoqiu said seriously. He knew since he was a child that he would have to pay the price to ask someone who was not close to relatives or bad things to help.
Sun Yulu smiled calmly, "I want you to tell me all the magic you have learned one day, Luanjingshan is very interested in the Minxin Science."
Xiaoqiu was a little puzzled, "Is there no collection of books in the Luanjing Mountain? I can only study and study by myself in the banned secret tower."
"It's not today, it's not the collection of books on the banned secret tower. Sooner or later, you will learn some lost chanting magic. I hope you can teach me that the recontinuation of chanting cannot rely on only one person, and Luanjingshan is willing to participate in it."
Sun Yulu turned her head and saw three statues of the snake on the table. She frowned slightly and pointed her finger at her casually, and the statue was broken into more than a dozen pieces.
