Tie Tang never expected that the first thing he did when he came to the Holy Capital was to be saddled with a mountain of debt.
After learning that he would have to give money even if he didn't buy it, Tie Tang got playful and started teasing the three-headed brave.
Finally.
On the basis of the price of one peach at 200, the price of 20 peaches has become 33,300.
Snap!
The big Pi Xiu plays with the jade beads with his paws, looking quite generous.
"Seeing that you have bought a lot, I will give you one or two cents. In this way, I will charge you thirty-three thousand, and forget the three hundred cents."
"Sir, you are so... fair~ Tie Mou bows to you!" Tie Tang clasped his fists with his hands, sincerely convinced.
The three heads of Pixiu were all very proud, shaking their heads and changing their minds: "That's right, otherwise, why do you think my third brother can play here?"
But at this moment, from the thick ink-like building behind, a breath quickly filled the air.
The big Pixiu looked shocked and was in a hurry.
"Oops, Wan Tuzi is here, stand still quickly, don't give him any leverage."
The three-headed Pixiu randomly found a place to sit down in front of the gate of the Supervisory Hall, pretending to be majestic and majestic.
Not even a breath.
These three living brave animals seemed to have turned into stone, standing motionless in front of the door.
Boom!
The gate of the Supervisory Palace slowly opened, like a black ferocious beast opening its bloody mouth.
Then an illusory figure appeared in front of the door. The figure glanced at the three-headed Pixiu, then turned to look at Tie Tang.
"Come in."
Tie Tang glanced around and confirmed that the other party was talking to him.
Because there is no one else in front of the Supervisor Hall, passers-by avoid it, and no one will pass in front of this black mansion.
He strode up the three flights of stairs, crossed the one-foot-high threshold, and entered the Chaoge Supervisory Hall.
Suddenly, a voice as thin as a mosquito came from his ear.
"Twenty peaches, thirty-three thousand, you have to be ready, don't try to cheat."
"Huh?"
The illusory figure that had gradually dissipated solidified again, glaring at the big Pixiu.
"I've tricked you here again, and I'll punish you by depriving you of food for three days."
When he heard that there was no food to eat, Big Pixiu immediately became unhappy.
It rolled on the spot, lying on the ground with its white and tender belly exposed, and started to act bad.
"Grandpa has eaten your rice? I don't care, I don't care, I will eat it, I will eat, eat, eat, eat..."
The figure was shaking, showing his restless heart, and then he stretched out his hand a little.
With a flash of white light, the big Pixiu froze and turned into a statue made of pure gold.
"Midas turns gold into gold?"
When the two little Pixiu saw that their elder brother had suffered a huge loss, they began to become unable to sit still.
"Wan Tuzi, let him go!"
The figure laughed: "Who are you letting go? There is only one person here."
"Second brother, he is right. We are not human beings, and neither is the eldest brother. Only that insidious guy is human."
Tie Tang staggered, not expecting that this could involve him.
Er Pixiu was silenced by his third brother, so he started acting rogue too.
"Wan Tuzi, I don't care if you eat my peaches secretly without paying me, but you still peek... Wuwu~wu!"
"Shut up!"
The figure trembled all over, but still stretched out his hand to lift the ban on Big Pixiu.
This time the three-headed Pixiu didn't play any tricks, but looked at Tie Tang from a distance, and then the figure left.
After they are completely gone...
The big Pixiu happily praised the second and third brothers.
"Don't worry, brother, I will keep this secret for the rest of his life."
"Eat him for life!"
"Hey hey hey~"
"Jiejiejiejie~"
.......
Tie Tang walked straight along with the illusory figure, and saw many powerful supervisors along the way. These people could be placed in other counties and cities to serve as supervisors and deputy guards, and they would be more than enough to serve as full-time guards.
This world-famous place of evil looks ordinary on the inside. The buildings are not much different from the Supervisory Yuan and Supervisory County Residence that Tie Tang has seen.
It just looks taller, bigger, more, that's all.
After half a stick of incense.
He followed the illusory figure to a side hall. The place was not big, about ten feet in diameter. There were seven or eight chairs and two jade tables scattered in the hall.
At the head of one of the jade tables, a middle-aged man with broad shoulders and a straight back was already sitting.
Wearing a navy blue robe, he has a sharp and fierce temperament, and his dark holes reflect the divine light, making people dare not look directly at him.
"Sit down, you're welcome."
The sound is like the echo of a deep mountain, thick and long, melodious, with a hint of evil aura, and seems a bit rough.
"I'm the official Tie Tang, I'd like to pay my respects to you, sir." Tie Tang cupped his fists and bowed his hands, but did not sit down immediately.
The person in front of him didn’t know where he came from. He didn’t even know who the other person was. He just had a guess as to why he would act rashly.
Seeing that Tie Tang did not sit down, Wan Lin also understood what he meant.
"Haha, you and I have a relationship, no need to be polite, just sit down."
Tie Tang was slightly surprised. He had never met him before, so how could Shi Laozi cause and effect come from?
He took advantage of the situation and asked: "May I ask, sir..."
"My surname is Wan, and I was the first one to arrive during the massacre in Hanhai City."
That’s right.
Tie Tang immediately understood.
There are three palace masters in Dashang Supervisory Hall, one is the principal and the other is the deputy. Tie Tang naturally knows their names. He heard Pixiu mention them at the door before, but he was not sure.
After the Hanhai City Massacre five hundred years ago, the Supervisory Palace at that time sent a deputy palace master to investigate.
I didn’t expect it to be the Master of Ten Thousand Halls!
In this way...there is indeed some causal connection between the two.
"I have met Lord Wan Dian, Tie Tang!"
Tie Tang saluted again, but this time he did not refuse, but chose to sit down on the other side of the jade table, directly opposite Wan Lin.
The scene of two people sitting opposite each other is very familiar.
It can be a reunion of old friends after a long absence, it can be a wine and song between relatives and friends, or it can be a night-long conversation between colleagues holding candles.
Of course.
It can also be a scene where the inspector interrogates the prisoner!
"When the Hanhai Massacre broke out, I was biased towards the Tie family, at least I participated in it."
As soon as these words came out, Tie Tang immediately felt on pins and needles.
"May I ask, sir... do you have any evidence?"
"Yes!"
Wan Lin didn't even think about it, as if he had already prepared it, he took out something from his arms and threw it on the jade table.
This is a fragmented bone, with traces of talismans still engraved on it.
"This is a broken body that Wan found from the ruins. It is the skull of a spiritual shaman. During his lifetime, he was carved with talismans and created an earth-shattering Feng Shui formation.
This great formation for slaughtering cities and annihilating families is called the 'Loess Burial Heavenly Formation'. According to the analysis of historical data, it first appeared in the "Huangji Jingshi Shu".
"Huangji Jingshi Shu" has long been lost, and even the creator is unknown, but it is not without inheritance.
This book has been circulated several times and has changed its appearance. Thousands of years ago, what was still certain was...
There are three books that are adapted and imitated from "Huangji Jingshi Shu".
These three books are called "The Book of Divination", "The Art of Jiulong Kanyu", and "The Four Pillars of Astrology"."
When Wan Lin said this, he did not continue to explain, but just looked at Tie Tang blankly.
At this time, Tie Tang's heart was already overturned, and huge waves surged into the sky.
Of those three books, except for the first one, he had never heard of it. The following ones, the Nine Dragons Kanyu Technique and the Four-Pillar Astrology Book, were all the special skills of Iron Dragon, Iron Tiger, and Iron Ox.
The three brothers have all said that this is a family secret passed down from the Tie family.
After a while.
Tie Tang took a deep breath and asked slowly: "Even so...it can't be said that the Tie family must be involved, right?"
It's just a great Feng Shui formation. Anyone can learn it. The Tie family may also be able to learn it, but they are by no means the only ones who can learn this formation.
"Not bad!"
"So two hundred years later, the Tie family has been eliminated from suspicion."
"But..."
"Hanhai City is surrounded by yellow sand. The geographical conditions are so suitable for the loess burial formation. In addition, there are people in the city who happen to understand this formation.
As an inspector...do you feel suspicious?"
Tie Tang remained silent and nodded slightly.
If there are too many coincidences, they are no longer coincidences, and the Tie family is indeed suspicious.
"Your Majesty called me here...could it be that you want to get to the bottom of things and find out if Tie is a sinner?"
Wan Lin looked at Tie Tang intently and said nothing.
Tie Tang did not dodge, but also stared at him closely.
After a while.
"Haha~ Just kidding."
Bang! Bang!
Wan Lin took a series of shots with both hands: "Serve tea!"
Immediately from both sides and back of the hall, servants in black robes came out carrying a complete set of tea sets, precious fruits, and snacks.
In no time, the jade table was filled to the brim, the sweet spring poured into the pot, and the fragrance of tea overflowed.
"You have become quite famous recently. Rumors have spread to Kyoto. I heard that you arrested a direct member of the cult and rescued Luan Kang who was captured. You are quite capable."
"I'm just lucky."
"Tell me what happened."
Tie Tang still did not relax, he knew that Wan Lin was still observing him.
As the deputy head of the Supervisory Palace, Wan Lin cannot be unaware of these things. Now that he has to tell them personally, it is tantamount to being interrogated in person.
If there is any flaw, it will be discovered immediately.
Fortunately, there is no unspeakable secret here, so Tie Tang slowly tells the story.
"Hmm... The Yang body is in the underworld? You three are also brave. Di heard the words... Did Ksitigarbha also intervene?
There are also heads of other officials... So it’s good luck to find Luan Kang like this."
"That's what happened, my lord, but is there anything else I need to add?"
Wan Lin picked up the tea and took a sip, his eyes widened.
"So this is how you were driven to Kyoto?"
"It seems that they have been dissatisfied with the Supervisory Palace for a long time, and they want to seize power whenever they can."
"What do you think?"
How can I see it?
How can I, a powerful witch with one soul and a small seventh-grade supervisor, look at me?
Tie Tang complained secretly in his heart, and then slowly shook his head: "The official is short-sighted and dare not speak nonsense."
"Then go ahead." Wan Lin waved his hand nonchalantly to see the guest off.
The conversation was interrupted so abruptly that Tie Tang was a little out of reach. He thought the other party had many more questions to ask, but he didn't expect to let him go.
Without thinking much, Tie Tang stood up and resigned.
As soon as he left the door of the side hall, he saw a beautiful woman standing in front of the door waiting. As soon as she saw him, she greeted him politely.
"Iron Supervisor, Master Qu Palace has invited you."
Tie Tang was slightly startled, and then he understood why Wan Lin let him go.
But soon there were new questions...
"What heinous crime have I committed, and I want the two masters of the Supervisory Hall to come and see me in person?"
Tie Tang had no right to refuse, so he could only follow the woman towards another side hall in the Supervisory Hall.
He didn't go far when he saw an old man with white hair and white beard sitting on a high chair in the distance.
He wore a brocade robe with a red lion and phoenix pattern, and a gold belt with a navy fairy pattern around his waist. He had long dark red hair, and under his horny white eyebrows, there was a pair of bright purple eyes.
"I'm down to you, Tie Tang, to meet Master Qu Palace!"
"We are all one family, so there is no need to be polite. If someone comes, we will give you a seat."
Two tall and beautiful women brought a dragon-patterned chair and placed it under Qu Bo's right hand.
After seeing Tie Tang sitting down, Qu Bo brushed his long beard with his hand and said with a smile: "Wan Tuzi speaks straightforwardly. If you hear something harsh, just pretend you haven't heard it before. He is not a bad person."
"I dare not lower my rank!"
"Don't be so polite. I'm here for nothing. I'm just chatting about home affairs. Don't take it seriously."
Tie Tang didn't know whether what he said was true or not, but when facing someone like the Master of the Supervisory Hall, it's best to say less and do more.
It's just that he doesn't speak, but Qu Bo is restless.
"Do you know that you have already formed a cause and effect?"
Is there any cause and effect?
Tie Tang was puzzled, what the hell kind of place is this Holy City? You just came here and didn’t do anything. You’re all dead, right?
"Dare you ask me for advice!"
Qu Bo smiled and said: "Those three little guys outside the door, since you promised to buy their flat peaches, remember not to break your promise."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Tie Tang was startled, there was something wrong here.
"Sir...the three-headed Pixiu..." Tie Tang pointed at his brain, implying that the Pixiu did not understand human wisdom.
"They are just playing around with you, don't take them seriously."
"But if we go by their calculations... if I go down to the official position, I will lose all my money and I won't be able to afford their flat peaches."
"Do you know the effect of flat peach?"
Tie Tang tried to say: "Smell it, can you live three hundred and sixty years?"
"Not bad!"
"If a mortal is lucky enough to get a breath of peach energy, he can live to be 360 years old, and if we, the shamans, can eat one, we can also live to be 47,000 years old.
Their peach trees were snatched from heaven back then. They are genuine flat peach trees that only bear fruit once every ten thousand years. They are rare and rare in the world!"
Robbed?
Tie Tang thought of the three little Pixiu. It was obviously impossible to snatch them from heaven, so they must be their ancestors or the adults of their family.
Wait.
If the utility is true... let alone two hundred years of life for a flat peach, even two thousand years of life is not much?
If you can live to 47,000 years if you eat one, then according to the most basic value, this flat peach is worth at least 30,000 to 40,000 yuan.
If you can buy twenty flat peaches with a life span of 33,000 yuan, wouldn’t you make a lot of money?
When Tie Tang thought of this, his heart began to heat up, but soon his mind was taken over by reason.
How can there be such a good thing in the world?
It’s not my turn if I do.
The three-headed Pixiu guarding the gate of the Supervisory Hall is obviously not a temporary thing.
Even if other people in Chaoge dare not go, the people within the Supervisory Hall can always discuss it.
If there was such a good thing, it would have been bought up by other supervisors long ago. How could it be possible for him to wait?
Thinking of this, Tie Tang realized something was wrong with the situation.
From beginning to end, Pixiu only talked about two hundred flat peaches.
Tie Tang subconsciously thought that these two hundred dollars were longevity dollars. They couldn't be two hundred taels of gold or silver, right?
But now that I think about it carefully...
Pixiu never said what currency the transaction was in.
Tie Tang stood up, cupped his hands towards Qu Bo, and asked slowly.
