"It seems...it's also here in the Mirror Palace..." Li Huoyun was silent for a moment and showed a wry smile.

He didn't expect that all the rewards he sent would be intercepted by the palace.

Now it seems that not only the money, but also the temporary position, may have been transferred and misappropriated without the consent of Brother Zhang Ying, right?

"My father often mentioned to me that this world is far from what I see on the surface, but now it seems..." Li Huoyun sighed.

"It doesn't matter. When you are in the world, you can't help yourself. Just get used to it." Zhang Rongfang shook his head slightly. "Brother Huo Yun, let's go back first and let this matter go."

"No! I didn't do anything honest about this matter at the beginning. If I had handed it over directly to you, Brother Zhang, there wouldn't have been such trouble." Li Huoyun said sternly.

"I don't blame you, this matter..." Zhang Rongfang imagined that even if it was handed over to him, someone would still come to ask for it.

If he saves people, the interception reward will be discovered sooner or later.

But someone still did it, which shows that the person didn't care whether he would be discovered or not.

"That's it, brother Huo Yun, let's forget about it and don't mention it again. Now that I have food, accommodation and a temporary job here, it's better than many Taoists.

These money and quotas can be regarded as my contribution to the Palace of Mirrors."

When Li Huoyun heard this, he immediately admired Zhang Rongfang's high integrity.

I also became more and more determined in my heart to go back to my father to help deal with this matter.

Immediately, he turned around and left with his servants.

Zhang Rongfang stood behind, watching the three people leaving in the distance. Suddenly, he glanced around and saw two other rooms in the yard.

The windows of those two rooms were closed tightly, but the outline of someone could be vaguely seen sneaking away from the windows.

It's possible that someone was eavesdropping through the window just now.

He remained calm and turned back to his room.

After closing the door, Zhang Rongfang looked up at the beams above.

'That's how the world is...the trees want to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop.'

He raised his hand and slowly took the stance of the third one-yuan talisman.

Among the seven major talismans, the first vitality talisman is the most comprehensive and perfect, the second Yandi talisman is the most powerful, and the third one-yuan talisman is the most neutral and peaceful.

He didn't master the Flame Emperor Talisman and the Soul-fixing Talisman, but he had completely obtained the other five talismans.

As a patrol house owner, Kaishan Taoist's skills will definitely not be low.

The worst inspection room in the Palace of Mirrors should be hosted by the sixth grade.

Even if the martial arts has deteriorated over the years and has weakened greatly due to age, one must at least regard the Kaishan Taoist as a fifth-grade master.

When he thought of the money that had been hacked, Zhang Rongfang felt a sense of depression and fire rising in his heart.

He worked hard, wasting his energy and time every day, just to make some money and accumulate merit so that he could go out to work as soon as possible.

But now...

call!

In an instant, he pushed forward with a flat palm. This palm was flat and straight, like a rolling boulder crushing him. It connected the energy and blood in his whole body.

Suddenly, the bed curtain in front of me that my palm was facing seemed to be blown by the wind and kept vibrating.

Zhang Rongfang closed his eyes and immediately saw clearly that a new line of handwriting slowly appeared in the attribute column.

‘One Yuan Talisman (Introduction)’

"It's done!"

Without hesitation, he quickly clicked on all the remaining three attribute points.

Suddenly, the brackets behind the unary symbol became blurry.

Soon, new words appeared.

One Yuan Talisman (Perfect)

After the remaining attribute points are reduced, there is still a little left.

Suddenly, a large number of practice memories rushed into Zhang Rongfang's mind.

He closed his eyes, stood there, and his body shape began to change slightly again.

The muscles on the back of both arms gradually swelled, and the density of flesh and blood in the body increased again.

"It's still a little short of breaking the limit again... I still need money to buy medicinal materials."

'But if you count carefully, I have broken the limit four times. Although I have different techniques, my health and physique are at their peak now... and I also have limit-breaking skills... So...

..Can try.'

Half a month later....

The night is hazy and foggy.

In Huanchun Tower, the largest music building in Tanyang, guests came out of the door in groups of two or three.

Some got on the slowly approaching carriage, and some left on foot with their family members.

Others went to the wine shop next door.

In front of the door of the music building, a charming music girl twisted her waist and said goodbye to all the familiar guests.

In the night sky, a resentful sound of the cave flute slowly sounded in the music building.

Everyone occasionally looked up and saw a woman in a blue dress on the balcony on the second floor, holding a long flute and playing slowly.

Downstairs, two long-haired men in blue silk clothes swayed out of the music building.

"The "Four Pieces of Jade" performed today is a new piece from Dadu's Fringe Heart. It really deserves to be written by a famous artist. Regardless of the tune's conception, it is quite extraordinary."

One of them praised him repeatedly.

"But I personally feel that it might be more appropriate if the accompaniment of the Northern Song is replaced by the more delicate and melodious Southern Song." Another person squinted his eyes slightly and analyzed.

There are many opera and opera performances every day in the Lelou. The signboards in front of the door and the Dawangzi will indicate which famous singers and actresses are performing today.

In fact, the Lelou is more niche, more expensive and more advanced than the high-level dance pavilion in the Wase.

For those who can enter Lelou, the entry fee of one hundred yuan alone can tell the level.

Taoist Kaishan is the landlord of the Mirror Palace, and he has a backer behind him. His position is as stable as Mount Tai. His daily income, coupled with his greed for money, is quite large.

So his biggest hobbies are either brothels or watching dramas and listening to music.

Good food, good wine, beautiful women playing music, and then lying on the warm and comfortable sofa, watching a touching story show...

This kind of enjoyment is far beyond what can be compared to being in charge of affairs and chanting sutras every day in a Taoist palace.

When he was young, he worked hard to practice martial arts, spent money on gifts, and finally reached the sixth level. Wasn't it just for this kind of enjoyment?

After separating from his friends, he wandered towards the Palace of Mirrors. While walking, enjoying the cool night breeze, he thought about the opera he had watched before.

"A colorful boat, with red sleeves, a new song sounds in Yizhou. There are even friends who have forgotten the opportunity in front of the bottle..."

He hummed and sang along to the tune.

When I walked to an empty fruit stall, the wooden shed erected above the stall cast a shadow.

Taoist Qianshan didn't pay attention. He stepped on a pothole and his body tilted slightly.

For a master like him, such a slight distortion and loss of balance can be regained in an instant.

Even to ordinary people, it is impossible to tell whether he really lost his balance or not, he just trembled slightly.

but.....

An extremely subtle sound of metal friction suddenly penetrated his ears.

Even though the sound was extremely subtle, Taoist Qianshan, who was very familiar with such sounds, was immediately frightened and rolled sideways.

His instinctive reaction, which he had honed over time, saved his life.

laugh!!

A ray of silver light suddenly flashed from his original position.

The silver light flashed across the pillars of the wooden frame, easily splitting the wooden pillars into two.

There is no pause.

The silver light suddenly deflected and stabbed towards him rapidly.

Taoist Qianshan woke up with horror, but the speed of the silver light was so fast that his drunk body's reaction was much slower.

‘This speed!? It’s level five!?’

He reluctantly raised his forearm to block it in front of him.
To be continued...
