fairy cage

Chapter 282
In the dark alchemy room, Yu Lie looked up, the huge and terrifying body swayed in front of him.

Under the background of the Shouwu worship, he was as small and weak as a bug.

One person and one monster continued to speak in the alchemy room, roaring.

After a good explanation, the Shouwu priest said:

"Yu Jiazi, remember to take me as a lesson, don't think you are young and neglect your cultivation.

Practitioners have always been like sailing against the current, if they do not advance, they will retreat.Even though you are young and have only lived less than one-tenth of your lifespan, a hundred years is gone in a blink of an eye. "

As he spoke, the Shouwu priest sneered: "By the way, when you have been promoted to the seventh rank, don't count the sixty years of being a god after death into your own lifespan."

"Old man, I really don't want to live for this." The other party's words were full of unwillingness and pain.

But these words made Yu Lie puzzled.

He secretly said: "As a Taoist official, he is about to die. If he can live for a long time, even if he loses his body, he can still earn it. Those Taoist disciples in Heishui Town at the beginning seemed to respect this. Why? Listening to the words of this Shouwu offering, on the contrary, I feel a little unwilling, is there a problem with being a god after death?"

Yu Lie wanted to ask a question, so he said, "Master Shouwu, can you elaborate."

But the Shouwu worshiper did not answer. After being silent for a while, he just said: "This matter, you can't talk about it, and you will gradually know it later. If you don't understand it all the time, it's actually not a problem. bad thing."

As soon as the subject changed, the other party suddenly said:

"By the way, just remember that after entering the Taoist Palace, it is best to listen to all the sermons and lectures in the palace. Especially for those who are just getting started, there will be the first lecture. Class not to be missed!"

After finishing speaking, the other party shook his huge body, and an iron chain connected to Danshi's iron gate vibrated and pulled it open.

"For the sake of a breakthrough, the old man has exhausted his family's wealth, and the only remaining property has to be left to another person. There is no benefit for you today, and I will let you go for nothing."

The Shouwu priest saw off the guests and said: "You go back now, remember to call that Luo Sen girl over. Hey, if you need anything, you can ask her for it in the future."

When Yu Lie heard these words, he quickly stopped:

"You're joking. The Taoist priest's admonition, Yu Lie will keep it in mind, so I dare not ask for any more benefits."

After solemnly saluting the other party, Yu Lie respectfully left the dark alchemy room.

boom!
As soon as he went out, the iron door slammed shut behind him, and his ears were instantly quiet.

The fierce sense of corruption that had been pressing on Yu Lie's body disappeared instantly, making Yu Lie's expression slightly relaxed.

Yu Lie couldn't help but glanced back at the iron gate behind him, his face showed a deep thought.

"I thought this person couldn't make a breakthrough, hurt his soul, and couldn't even be a ghost. But from what he said, that's not the case, but that he himself doesn't want to be a so-called ghost? What's wrong with this?"

Yu Lie thought about it for a while, but seeing that he couldn't find a clue, he forcibly let it go.He planned to think about it calmly after listening to the lecture that the other party specially explained.

Standing in the huge treasury of medicinal materials, Yu Lie looked at the empty and desolate wooden shelves, and sighed heavily.

A Taoist official of the seventh grade, once he failed to break through the gate, his path in this life was cut off, his body was completely destroyed, and he lost his soul to such an extent, which made him feel deeply.

Yu Lie tightened his Taoist robe, thinking to himself that he must not just rely on his young age, good cultivation, and good status to slack off, otherwise the present of Shouwu may be his future.

In particular, although he won the second place in the assessment, there are twelve rounds of assessments in one Taoist palace every year, and there are more than ten thousand new Taoists every year. Among these new Taoists, his level is not high. Bad, but only a little bright.

Yu Lie thought to himself: "Don't drag your tail in the quagmire and pretend that you have a bright future, you have to make persistent efforts and work hard!"

He walked quickly, greeted the shopkeeper of the elixir shop, and then went straight back to his elixir shop.

After returning to the elixir shop, Yu Lie immediately told Luo Sen about the worship of Shouwu.

In the shop, Luo Senna's face was filled with joy because of being busy. When she heard Yu Lie mentioning the worship of Shouwu, she was startled. When Wu worships.

Lawson's complexion became even stiffer, and there was obvious worry in his eyes.She hastily cupped her hands towards Yu Lie: "Thank you, Brother Lie, I'll be there soon."

Luo Sen turned around and was about to leave, but Yu Lie suddenly called Luo Sen again.

He paused, pondered and said:

"Sister Luo, please persuade the Taoist priest of Shouwu carefully. As a human being, after all, it is better to live than to die. If you are a ghost or a god, another sixty years is worth a lifetime of mortals."

"I know it!" Luo Sen nodded heavily, and only left after saluting again.

The conversation between the two did not avoid Miaomu.

Therefore, after listening to Miao Mu for a few times, although she didn't understand the specific reason, she vaguely understood that there was a backer behind Luo Sen, and that backer was a seventh-rank Taoist official, who seemed to be from the Taoist palace. Seventh rank Taoist!
This caused surprise and envy to appear in Miao Mu's eyes: "Good guy, I thought Sister Luo Sen was a freelancer just like me. I didn't expect her to have such a background."

However, Miao Mu didn't have any bad thoughts because of this. All she wanted was to have a better relationship with Luo Sen, and to push Yu and Luo harder!
The woman secretly said in her heart: "People like this, fellow Daoist Yu, you should not miss them. I can also be a concubine."

She secretly glanced at Yu Lie.

Yu Lie watched Luo Sen leave in a hurry, and noticed Miao Mu's gaze. After nodding towards Miao Mu, he walked into his exclusive room.

The elixir shop continued to be busy and busy.

Yu Lie was in the room, and first took the accounts that Luo Sen and Miao Mu had arranged in the morning, and then passed by.

Then he spread out a piece of sound transmission talisman, and after thinking about it for a while, he wrote a sound transmission talisman and sent it to Song Danqing's work place in Qianlin Chamber of Commerce, inviting him to come and work.

………………

Song Danqing didn't make Yu Lie wait long, and in the afternoon of that day, the other party rushed over.

The two meet again.

Song Danqing's face lost the acquaintance with Yu Lie from before. When the other party saw the huge medicine shop and the calm and calm Yu Lie, a sense of unfamiliarity, or more precisely, a sense of respect, appeared on his face. .

Although this person came from the same place as Yu Lie, and he is not yet twenty years old, logically speaking, it is very likely that he will be worshiped in the Taoist palace.And Song Danqing himself thought so at the beginning.

But after entering Qianzhou Dao City, working day after day has already worn away his arrogance, especially since he has already participated in a Dao Palace assessment, and he has already thoroughly understood that Taoists like himself, In Qianzhou Daocheng, there are quite a lot of them, which are unremarkable.

And many young and well-connected Daocheng natives also failed in the assessment, and Song Danqing's defeat was even easier.

This completely broke Song Danqing's heart and made him feel confused.Because of this, Song Danqing was worried about gains and losses when he was able to get Yu Lie's invitation now.

Being able to be on duty under the disciples of the Dao Palace, he will not only have plenty of time and spirit stones, but he may also get the help of Yu Lie to help him enter the Dao Palace!

This was such a great opportunity that Song Danqing suspected that Yu Lie was cheating and wanted to sell him.

But when Yu Lie revealed his identity as a Taoist palace, the worries in Song Danqing's heart disappeared immediately, and the rest was just ecstatic.

Especially in the conversation with him, Yu Lie revealed that the reason why he invited him here was to serve as a welcome and send-off. Little effort about it.

This made Song Danqing overwhelmed with emotion, and was stunned for a moment.

Yu Lie naturally saw the change in expression of his fellow countryman and classmate.

But he just got the warning from Shouwu Enshrining in the morning, and he was nervous, so he didn't pay too much attention to it, let alone show off. He just exchanged pleasantries with the other party, and then handed over an identity badge to the other party.

"Brother Song doesn't need to be on duty today, and he doesn't need to come over in a hurry tomorrow. Let's finish the business with the chamber of commerce first."

Hearing this, Song Danqing knew that it was time for him to step back, and immediately bowed in response: "Thank you for taking care of me, Master, you are busy."

He faced Yu Lie, took a few steps back respectfully, then turned around, and when he left, he closed the door lightly, for fear of using too much force.

Yu Lie took this scene into his eyes and sighed slightly.

When Song Danqing left the elixir shop, he didn't use magic spells while walking, but his legs and feet were extremely brisk, and every step was windy.

After a while, he walked back to a charm shop under the Qianlin Chamber of Commerce.

This shop is similar to the small alchemy workshop that Yu Lie worked in at the beginning. It has no facade and is only one of the sources of supply for other shops.

Song Danqing walked all the way through the fishy Fumo Pond, passed through many busy Taoist boys, and came to his own narrow and dark compartment, where he packed up his personal belongings.

He put everything he could take away into his pocket.

These are all the talisman drawing utensils and talisman materials that he has accumulated over and over again in the past year. They must not be left in the workshop, and they will benefit others for nothing.

When Song Danqing was packing up, a bald old man in the workshop walked over quickly and shouted:
"Xiao Song, what are you doing! Why did you miss work just now? Thanks to me covering it up for you, you passed. Come quickly and help me draw a spell."

That's right, Song Danqing got Yu Lie's sound transmission talisman and escaped secretly.The reason for sneaking away is because the low-level Taoists who have just entered the workshop like him have no date and time to rest at all. If they want to rest, they have to deduct spirit stones.

Before seeing Yu Lie's shop and identity with his own eyes, Song Danqing didn't dare to take a vacation at will, so as not to waste his day's wages.

But now, Song Danqing heard the shout of the bald old talisman, he patted his sleeve, took out a blank piece of talisman paper, wrote it with real energy, threw it on the table, and laughed loudly:
"Who asked you to help cover it up? You can just file a complaint. Grandpa, I won't serve you anymore!"

These words made the old talisman stunned, he showed suspicion, and opened his mouth to drink: "You child, what are you crazy about. You don't want today's spirit stone?!"

Hearing the word "Lingshi", Song Danqing's footsteps really stopped, but when he thought of Yu Lie's wages, and Yu Lie's promise that he could pay him a share in advance, his heart burned.

Song Danqing just waved at the old talisman, then walked out of the workshop without looking back.

The movement in the workshop naturally attracted the attention of other Taoists and Taoist boys, all of them poked their heads, or simply came out to have a look.

The old talisman's face was even more suspicious, he stared at Song Danqing's back.

Old Fu Tu murmured: "Get rich? It shouldn't be, this guy is a foreigner, he doesn't have much to follow, he also searches around on weekdays, and even works two jobs in a row."

Seeing Song Danqing's effort to go away so freely, the old Futu touched the top of his head, besides the sullenness of being contradicted by the other party, there was also a hint of envy in his eyes.

Turning around, the old Futu yelled at the Taoists and Taoists who were watching the excitement: "I'm done with the work in hand? Hurry up and start working, or I don't know when this month's payment will be paid."

Without Song Danqing's help, the old talisman could only hold the blank talisman paper in his hand, ran to his narrow cubicle, and devoted himself to drawing.

He didn't dare to delay his work, otherwise he might not be able to pay the money for the cage house next month.That is the family business money handed down from the ancestors, and it cannot be corrupted.

After Song Danqing quit his job, he ran to the Qianlin Chamber of Commerce's residence non-stop, and handed over a letter again, requesting that the signed Longqi contract be revoked and voided.

This process is a bit complicated, and the Chamber of Commerce may not let people go.After a lot of work, Song Danqing thought that he would have to come and run again tomorrow, the day after, or even at the end of the month.

As a result, when he took out his badge and said that he was going to work in an industry under the Daoist Palace, the Taoist priest in charge of general affairs in the chamber of commerce changed his eyes slightly, and he just passed his request to cancel before he got off work, and returned with him. He exchanged names.

After getting the conclusive cancellation document from the chamber of commerce, the contract in the Taoist scriptures was canceled immediately, and Song Danqing breathed a sigh of relief instantly.

As for the other part-time job, he didn't need to go over there to inform him, anyway, the wages for that job were due on a daily basis, so he just wrote a letter and explained it.

After all this was done, when Song Danqing walked out of the workshop, it was already evening.

As he was walking, he suddenly stopped, and stared blankly at the west side of Dao City.

I saw a blood-red sun falling high above the sky, jumping away from thousands of buildings.

The huge workshop is pressed on the ground, and together with the densely packed buildings, it is illuminated by the crimson twilight, splashing red all over, the sky is illuminated by the sunset, and the air is also clear.

This scene is grand and magnificent.

Song Danqing fixed his body, standing in the numb face of going to and from work like a tide, his personal time seemed to stand still.

"It's been a long time since I saw you. This is the sunset."

Song Danqing was in a daze, and then as if he remembered something, he quickly raised his sleeves and stepped down the workshop.

He was burning in his heart: "Tonight, I will have a good rest, recharge my batteries, and when I go to work tomorrow, I will bow down and serve Brother Yu!"

Song Danqing hurriedly stepped into the ground of Daocheng, where even the sunlight could not shine, and rushed to the coffin hotel.
