"Meng Xingyun" is a first-class member and one of the six members of the Privy Council. Qi Xuansu is only a second-class member, but "Meng Xingyun" treats Qi Xuansu quite politely.
The reason is not complicated. Most of the time, it depends on the level of cultivation, especially at this critical moment when life and death are needed. After all, Qi Xuansu is a heavenly being in the Xiaoyao stage, and is only lower than the heavenly beings in the infinite stage.
Qi Xuansu has reached a level and belongs to the backbone of the combat force. Furthermore, Qi Xuansu is the kind with a background. If there is an internal ranking of the Privy Council, then Qiniang is not the chief, but must be the second. Qi Xuansu is Qiniang's confidant and direct descendant, others will naturally want to
Give some thin noodles.
After the two exchanged pleasantries, Qi Xuansu asked: "What is our goal?"
"There is a branch of the 'Inn' near the overpass. Our mission today is to destroy the branch here, kill all the 'Inn' members, and take away all the account books and rosters."
The mask on "Meng Xingyun"'s face seems to have a voice-changing function, which makes his voice quite distorted and has the effect of overlapping echoes.
Qi Xuansu was not surprised. In a sense, his mission to Fengtai County was not much different in nature from this mission. It was just that he targeted Qingluan Guard that time and the "Inn" this time.
Although "Inns" have branches in various places, the strengths of the branches vary. For example, the "Inn" branch in Cuowenbu is much stronger than the "Inn" branch in Fengtai County, which mainly depends on the situation in each place.
The Imperial Capital is the place with the largest number of heavenly beings, even more than the Jade Capital, so it makes sense that the "Inn" branches in the Imperial Capital are much better than the "Inn" branches in other places.
As for leaving no one alive, it doesn't mean that they can't be arrested, but it's because it's inconvenient to evacuate.
"Meng Xingyun" walked in front, instead of walking onto the overpass, he came under the bridge.
Since there is a bridge, there is naturally a river. This is a main drainage river in Nancheng. It originates from Penglai Pond and flows into the moat outside the city. It is called "Jiao Tan Hou River". As the name suggests, it is the river behind Tian Di Temple in the suburbs. Although it is no longer
It is still a suburb, but belongs to the boundaries of Nancheng, but the name has been left behind.
Later, the Daxuan court unified the renovation of the four outer cities, established a huge network of water canals and numerous water purification plants, and buried most of the river underground to become a canal. So now there is a dry river under the bridge, without water.
There are only withered yellow weeds.
At this time, six people had gathered in the bridge hole. When they saw "Meng Xingyun" and Qi Xuansu approaching, they all looked over.
"Meng Xingyun" introduced to everyone: "'Golden Cross Knife'."
Qi Xuansu clasped his fists and saluted.
Then "Meng Xingyun" introduced others to Qi Xuansu: "'Zui Chui Bian', 'Yue Huaqing', 'Ren Yue Yuan', 'Yue Xia Flute', 'Shuang Shuang Yan', 'Come with the clouds'."
Every time he reported the name of a word brand, the corresponding person would move toward it.
Qi Xuansu nodded in greeting.
Qi Xuansu once met "Drunken Whip" who was suspected of being a man in black in the "Dream Meeting". It seemed that he was the contact person Qiniang mentioned. However, due to a temporary change in plans, he did not go to see Qi Xuansu, but directly
Arrive at the overpass.
The other five people were meeting for the first time.
The six of them all wore bronze masks in the style of ancient shamanism, with the name of the word brand engraved between the eyebrows. Compared with the bronze mask of "Meng Xing Yun", the fineness of the patterns was significantly lower, and the mask of "Meng Xing Yun" even had similar patterns.
The snow-white hair of the lion's mane, while the rest of the masks do not have these details.
This should be the difference between Class A members and Class B members.
However, Qi Xuansu did not have such a mask, because Qiniang never gave it to him. In a sense, he had always been a non-staff member of the Qingping Society in the past, living outside and not participating in many people's actions at all. Except for Qiniang, he and
The other members of the Qingping Society have not had much contact with each other and are very unfamiliar with the Qingping Society. On the other hand, other people should have had similar experiences many times, and even the masks are of the same standard.
"Meng Xingyun" was well prepared and took out a mask engraved with "Golden Staggered Knife" from the Sumeru objects and handed it to Qi Xuansu: "It's of no great use, it's just a spiritual object. But it can resist the 'chaotic gods' and 'enter dreams'
, 'Perspective', 'Wangqi' and other magical powers can also cover the original breath and change the voice."
Qi Xuansu thanked him, took the mask, turned his back, took off his bamboo hat, untied his bun, and covered his face with it.
When wearing this kind of mask, it is best to wear your hair disheveled, so as not to reveal your identity because of the bun. The ancient ancestors in those days also had their hair disheveled, and there was no concept of buns.
As a result, Qi Xuansu wore two masks on his face, making it almost impossible to see his true face.
"Meng Xingyun" said: "Everyone has arrived, let's start doing business."
"Shuang Shuangyan" is a woman and asked: "Where is the branch of the 'Inn'?"
"Mengxingyun" replied: "Right under our feet."
After saying that, "Mengxingyun" raised its foot and stomped heavily on the ground, and it suddenly collapsed. Everyone did not dodge and fell freely.
What was below was not an abyss, but the former "River Behind the Suburban Altar", which now became part of the Imperial Capital's huge sewer system. So it fell to the ground in the blink of an eye.
It is said to be a sewer, but in fact it is more like a wide corridor. There is even a stone road for people to walk next to the underground river, which is similar to a river embankment, so that the group does not have to wade through the water.
This was Qi Xuansu's first time entering the culvert of the Imperial Capital, but he had been exposed to it before in Jinling Mansion.
Somewhat surprising.
Corresponding to the Yin canal, there is naturally the Yang canal. Generally speaking, the Yang canal flows with clean water for drinking, while the Yin canal flows with sewage, so the Yang canal and the Yin canal must be strictly separated to avoid pollution.
It was also necessary to prevent the water from the sewers from flowing into the Penglai Pond and other natural underground rivers, causing pollution of the well water. Therefore, the ditches had to be carefully planned and subdivided. This resulted in a huge criss-crossing "cobweb" underneath the Imperial City.
Some people even said that this move would affect the imperial capital's dragon veins. However, with the strong promotion of Emperor Gaozu and Emperor Taizong, such a huge project was completed. It will benefit the future. At least there will no longer be stagnant water and sewage on the streets.
Keeping the city clean and tidy is only one aspect. The key is to reduce the spread of diseases.
But in this way, these positive and negative channels are like a maze. Without a map, it is easy to get lost in it.
Of course, the imperial court kept a map of the canal, which was stored in the Ministry of Works. Every year, workers were required to rely on the map to clear the silt. But if ordinary people wanted to get the map, they would never be able to do so. After all, millions of people depended on it.
The water source for survival must not be careless. The Qingping Society did not obtain a complete canal map, only some hand-copied fragments, so they could only find the approximate location from the ground, and then forcefully enter it from the top of the canal. After all, "Jiaotan Houhe River"
"Being buried underground is not a secret. The people nearby tell it by word of mouth. At least in the previous dynasty, there was still a river here.
As for the "inn", after all, it has connections with the imperial court, so the branch can be established in such a secret place. .??.
"Mengxingyun" walked at the front and was responsible for leading the way.
If you get lost in this place, it is not difficult to get out. After all, there is no formation, just go all the way up. But after "breaking out of the ground", it is difficult to tell where you are. This is the Imperial Capital after all. If you really want to appear in
It is not a rare thing in a certain yamen. If you damage the ditch and cause leakage or pollution, you will be wanted by the Qingluan Guards.
After walking zigzag all the way down for about half an hour, I turned a corner and suddenly a bright light appeared in front of me.
"Meng Xingyun" waved his hand, and the two "inn" waiters standing in the light fell to the ground without making any sound. A moment later, another "inn" waiter in the dark fell from the hiding place above.
"These are the open and hidden sentries arranged by the 'inn'. It's not far from the branch." "Yue Huaqing", who is also a woman, said.
"Mengxingyun" said nothing and continued to move forward.
The passage became wider and wider, and finally came to a wide place, similar to an underground hall, with a diameter of nearly a hundred feet and a height of more than ten feet. There seemed to be a hole at the top, with a beam of moonlight hanging down. Below was a pool, and six ditches were dark.
The river is connected here, and the opening is set five feet above the surrounding walls. After the river water gushes out, it hangs like a waterfall in the air, turns into a curtain of water, and falls down.
Square water pool, the water in the pool is divided into four channels, which are connected to four ditches that are flush with the pool.
Qi Xuansu and others walked out of one of the ditches.
A platform was built above the water pool, with a counter, tables and chairs. The platform was connected to the surrounding area by a wooden bridge. There was a wooden bridge behind the counter, which led to another ditch, but the "inn" added a gate here.
This is the branch of the "Inn".
It is also the most special one among the many branches Qi Xuansu has seen.
"Meng Xingyun" didn't say anything, but just made a hand gesture, and all seven people rushed out.
"Meng Xingyun" took the lead and went straight to the branch manager behind the counter.
The shopkeeper here is a top-notch clerk in the "Inn". In terms of status, he is second only to the six top executives. His cultivation level is quite good. Facing the menacing "Meng Xingyun", he remained calm even though he was frightened. He moved his hands
Push the counter to make it fly towards "Dream Walking Cloud", then flip your hands, and there is already a big halberd with black light flowing in it.
"Mengxingyun" just slapped it casually, and the entire counter shattered into pieces and turned into powder.
As for the true energy hidden in it, of course it can't help him.
The branch manager swept across with his halberd, and the six hanging waterfalls were pulled by his halberd and turned into six water dragons, rushing towards the "Dream Walking Cloud" together.
This branch manager is also a master of infinite stages.
It has to be said that although today's Infinite Stage Heavenly Beings are far inferior to the Infinite Heavenly Beings in the Xuansheng Era in terms of upper limit, combat power, etc., their numbers are far superior to those of the past.
This is due to Xuan Sheng's integrated cultivation method. Everyone can practice the Dacheng method, and the inheritance system is divided into subdivisions. You can specialize in one direction according to your own situation, without requiring everyone to be a generalist. There is also the great creation project.
With the development, even the banished immortals can imitate it, not to mention various pills to improve their cultivation. Coupled with the return of light before the end of the law, due to various reasons, the number of heavenly beings has greatly increased.
This is just like ginseng. In the past, ginseng was wild, but now it is cultivated by human fertilization, and the yield is naturally different. In terms of medicinal efficacy, wild ginseng generally has a growth period of several decades to hundreds of years, while human-cultivated ginseng is generally
It only takes five to six years, so the medicinal efficacy of wild ginseng is dozens of times that of cultivated ginseng.
Qi Xuansu's situation could only be said to be average in the Xuansheng era, but today, he has become an outstanding person.
If the current heavenly beings and the past heavenly beings were to fight each other, even if they were of the same level, they would still have a narrow escape. However, if the current Taoist sect faced the past Taoist sect, the current Taoist sect would be stronger. Not to mention other things, the number is here, a single pair.
If you can't fight alone, you can definitely beat three of them.
