Chapter 7 Yufu
The young man in white robe was quite talkative and told Liu Le'er some interesting stories about the city along the way, but the girl was a little absent-minded about it and just responded to it casually.
Several people walked through several streets and soon arrived at the central area of Mingyuan City.
It seems a bit quiet, the roads are neat, there are no shops on both sides, and the wide houses and courtyards are obviously the residence of wealthy families in the city.
After walking a while, several people came outside a Zhuhong Mansion.
Unlike other buildings in the city, this mansion covers a very wide area. The vermilion gate about two feet high looks majestic. There are two stone lions about twelve feet high. The gate is covered with shiny copper nails, shining brightly in the sun.
On both sides of the gate, there was a guard wearing bright armor, which was the same as the previous guards, but they stood solemnly holding spears.
Everything here demonstrates the power and status of the master here.
A huge gilded plaque hung on the gate with two gilded characters "Yufu" written on it.
Liu Shi looked up at Yu Mansion, but quickly withdrew his gaze.
Liu Le'er looked at the mansion in front of her in surprise, feeling a little nervous.
She had never seen such a large mansion before. Judging from the situation of this gate, Yu's mansion must have a very high status in Mingyuan City, which may have a lot to do with the Feng Kingdom court.
"Sister Liu, what's wrong?" The young man in white robe seemed to see something and asked in a warm voice.
"Yu'er is so big, and there are so many guards. Isn't it an ordinary family?" Liu Le'er said with a reluctant smile.
"Sister Liu is so smart. My father is the prime minister of Feng Kingdom, so there are some guards in the mansion to protect the courtyard. Otherwise, how could I hire a real immortal master to stay?" Yu Qi replied disapprovingly.
When Liu Le'er heard this, she couldn't help but widen her eyes.
Seeing this, the young man in Confucian robe looked proud.
"Seventh Young Master, the Second Young Master!" Seeing a few people coming, the two guards at the door hurriedly came up and bowed.
Yu Qi nodded slightly to the two and took Liu Le'er and the others into the door.
"Seventh brother, you insist on bringing two outsiders to the mansion. Be careful that your father is furious when he finds out. Don't blame me for not reminding you." After entering Yu Mansion, the young man in the Confucian robe snorted coldly and left with his sleeves.
"Don't pay attention to him, please follow me, you two." Yu Qiyan smiled and took Liu Le'er and Liu Shi to the other direction in the mansion.
Yu Mansion is full of active and large pavilions, towers, and garden corridors.
The ground is also paved with high-quality jade such as white jade, green jade, and is as smooth as a mirror and as hard as iron, showing the luxury of a wealthy family.
Yu Qi seemed very majestic in Yu's mansion. The servants and servants he met along the way saluted one after another, and some even knelt on one knee.
Seeing this, Liu Le'er looked at Yu Qi's back, and her two shiny eyes rolled, not knowing what she was thinking.
She and Liu Shi followed Yu Qi, which naturally attracted the attention of many people, especially Liu Shi's strangeness, which was even more eye-catching. However, these people seemed to be capturing Yu Qi's majesty and dare not look at it.
Soon, the three of them came to a corridor, and a tall maid wearing a green long skirt walked towards her.
"Young Master, you are back." The green-skirt maid saw Yu Qi and immediately smiled happily and trotted over.
"Xiao Wu, if you have a distinguished guest here, don't be unruly." Yu Qi scolded in a deep voice.
The green-skirt maid Xiao Wu stuck out her tongue, not afraid, it was completely different from the previous servants.
Yu Qi glared at the green-skirt maid helplessly, and then said, "Xiao Wu, you are here just right. These two are distinguished guests I invited, Sister Liu Le'er and Brother Liu Shi, go to the west wing to clean up a yard and give them a rest."
Xiao Wu only noticed the two people behind Yu Qi at this moment. Liu Shi was surprised by the strange appearance of Liu Le'er, but after his eyes fell on Liu Le'er beside him, his beautiful eyes lit up and he smiled and said, "Oh, what a beautiful little girl!"
"Sister Liu is my distinguished guest, you must not be rude! Two, Xiao Wu is my personal maid, and his words are abrupt, please don't blame me." Yu Qi scolded, then turned around and smiled apologetically at Liu Le'er and Liu Shi.
"I understand." Xiao Wu said this, but while Yu Qi turned around and ignored him, he made a face at Le'er.
Liu Le'er was amused by it and couldn't help but laugh, but quickly covered her mouth with her hands, but her originally nervous mood became a little relieved.
"By the way, I've been outside these days, in the mansion..." Yu Qi looked around, approached Xiao Wu, and whispered in a low voice.
The two of them leaned against each other and looked intimate, so Xiao Wu seemed to have no shyness.
Seeing this scene, Liu Le'er curled her lips, and her slight affection for the young man in white robe suddenly decreased.
The two of them whispered a few times, Xiao Wu nodded, turned around and walked away quickly.
"Two, please." Yu Qi said, and continued to move forward.
A moment later, the three of them came to a small courtyard where the little Wu was greeting her.
Although it is a small courtyard, it is not small in size. It is paved with pebbles. There is a green pine tree on the left and a cluster of green bamboo on the right.
The breeze blew, and the pine trees and bamboo leaves made a rustling sound, which was extremely quiet.
Although the decorations in the house are simple, the workmanship of tables, chairs, benches and benches is extremely sophisticated.
The tables and chairs were clean and spotless, and they were obviously just cleaned up.
"The two of you look a little tired, so let's take a break here first. I will hold a banquet alone to entertain Ling's brother and sister later." The young man in white robe turned around and looked at Liu Le'er and smiled.
"There is no need to entertain. I just want to know when I can invite that immortal master to treat my brother?" Liu Le'er looked around.
"Since you two don't like socializing, I will ask Xiao Wu to deliver dinner later. As for the immortal master, I'm afraid I will have to wait until tomorrow to invite you." Yu Qi pondered for a moment and said this.
"Okay." Liu Le'er was a little disappointed.
"By the way, if you have any other needs, just ask Xiao Wu. Those two have a good rest, I will say goodbye first." Yu Qi said, and looked at Liu Shi again.
Liu Le'er nodded, looking a little absent-minded.
...
"Young Master, who are they? Judging from their dress, they are just ordinary people, why should they be so polite to them?" Xiao Wu asked curiously outside the courtyard.
"What do you little girl know? Today, my second brother and I were frightened. Liu Shi subdued Qingfengma with one hand and stopped the carriage." Yu Qi frivolously pinched Xiao Wu's white chin and chuckled.
"Qingfengma! One-handed! That Liu Shi... is so strong!" Xiao Wu was shocked when she heard this.
"I understand. If this kind of magical alien can be conquered, it will be of great use to me in the future. Besides, Le'er is older and is definitely a beautiful woman who is charming in the country. How can I bear to let her stay outside and endure hardship? Naturally, I have to join the mansion together. If you continue to do so, you must treat them well and not be neglected?" The young man in white robe walked out with a smile on his face, and ordered as he walked.
"Yes." Xiao Wu didn't know what she thought of, and her face blushed quickly agreed.
...
Small courtyard, inside the house.
Liu Le'er walked for a day today and had just experienced another storm. She was a little tired and pulled Liu Shi into the bedroom to rest for a while.
Although they are different from each other, they have been sleeping in the wilderness and eating and living together for many years, and Liu Le'er doesn't think there is anything wrong with it.
When it was dark, Xiao Wu brought a sumptuous supper.
Looking at the table full of delicious food, Liu Le'er couldn't help but swallow her saliva.
She had never eaten such a sumptuous food. Although she was in the prime minister's residence and the unfamiliar environment made her feel a little uneasy, she still couldn't help but eat it.
On the contrary, Liu Shi had no reaction to these delicacies.
The night became darker, and a full moon slowly rose from the horizon.
Liu Le'er lay on the bed, tossing and turning for a long time, but she didn't fall asleep. Her mind was full of things to see a doctor tomorrow.
"Brother Shitou, do you think that the immortal master can cure you?" Liu Le'er moved her body a little to the bed and said softly.
Liu Shi did not lie down, and sat cross-legged by the bed with his eyes closed.
He has been like this every night for years and has never lie down and slept.
Liu Shi had no expression on his face and had not opened his eyes, as if he had not heard the girl's words.
"Brother Shitou, don't worry, if the immortal master here can't cure you, we will go to another place, and there will definitely be someone who can cure you." Liu Le'er was used to it, and after whispering a few more words, she showed a peaceful smile, slowly closed her eyes, and entered her dream.
Liu Shi remained motionless, like a statue in the darkness.
After a while, the tall young man suddenly opened his eyes, looked in a direction in Yu Mansion, and subconsciously raised his hand and stroked a dark green ornament under his neck.
...
At the same time, in a certain underground secret room of Yu Mansion where the tall young man was looking.
The four walls of the secret room are carved with dark red runes, gathering from all parts of the wall to the center.
A black elixir furnace is placed in the center of the secret room, and a fire pool at the bottom is burning with blazing flames.
The alchemy furnace emitted a black light at this moment, and the top cover trembled slightly, as if it would fly up at any time.
An old man stood beside the alchemy furnace and looked at the alchemy furnace nervously.
This man wore a lotus crown on his head, a gray-white Taoist robe, with deep eyes, thin cheeks, and a long goat beard hanging under his jaw. His beard and hair were all snow-white. He looked over 70 years old, but he had a fairy-like Taoist bone.
At this moment, a muffled sound came from the alchemy furnace, and then a burnt smell came out.
The old Taoist face changed drastically, and he waved his hand to make a spell, extinguished the fire, and then with a move, the lid of the alchemy furnace flew up.
He ignored the hot boiler and reached in directly, his face immediately became extremely gloomy, and he took out a handful of black powder.
The strong medicinal fragrance mixed with a burnt smell emanated from the powder.
