fairy cage

Chapter 74

In the quiet room that should have been empty except for Yu Lie, a figure appeared inexplicably.

And the other party sat cross-legged in the center of the altar that Yu Lie had carefully purchased, meditated and adjusted his breath, and lit the spiritual incense that Yu Lie was usually reluctant to light.

There is a faint fragrance in the quiet room, which is quite Taoist.

Yu Lie frowned, and before he could open his mouth to question the other party, the people in the altar said indifferently:

"You came."

The other party was dressed in a black robe, with a mask on his face, it was not clear who he was.

Such a sound made Yu Lie sneer in his heart.

Seeing what the other party said, it seemed that Yu Lie had come to bother and pay a visit to the other party.But this is a poisonous mouth, and it is his remaining territory.

But the one who can sneak into his quiet room is at least a middle-ranked Taoist boy.To be on the safe side, Yu Lie just squinted at the other party and said, "Who is your Excellency? Why didn't you tell me?"

Hearing Yu Lie's question, the masked man sneered and said, "Pindao didn't come here without warning, isn't it you, who have been inviting the poor?"

Yu Lie raised his eyelids slightly, he thought for a while, and said to himself: "Could it be that this person is..."

Sure enough, the masked man stood up from the futon, and without taking off his shoes, he paced around the rest of the futon and the altar, not treating himself as an outsider at all, and said:
"Besides, this place is still regarded as the hall of the poor. After killing Du Liang, you guy, don't you even pay attention to the poor?"

An indifferent voice sounded from the mouth of the masked man.

Hissing, suddenly there was the sound of a venomous snake uttering a letter, and a strange-looking two-headed three-headed snake crawled out from the opponent's shoulder. Lie felt a slight sense of oppression.

The poisonous snake's vertical pupils stared at Yu Lie, and its mouth opened, as if it would pounce at any moment.

The masked man still held his hands behind his back, looking at everything in the quiet room.

Seeing the poisonous snake, Yu Lie was slightly startled: "The Qingbi double-headed vicious snake is indeed the master of the concocting hall, She Shuangbai!"

He suppressed the look in his eyes, paused, and immediately bowed and saluted: "I've met the Hall Master She, but I don't know that the Hall Master will come today, it's really disappointing!"

Seeing Yu Lie saluting so resolutely, the masked man turned his head and looked at Yu Lie a few times:

"You're a good kid, don't think that you dare to act presumptuously in the hall of this seat just because you got close to that old thing. If it weren't for the fact that you copied Du Liang's house that day, you would have sent all his money over, poor Daoist." Today, when you leave the customs, the first thing you need to do is to break your limbs and kick you out of the alchemy room!"

Yu Lie didn't care much about what this person said, but he said respectfully on his face:

"Thank you, hall master, for fulfillment."

When he finished speaking and was about to ask the other party what he was doing again, the figure of Hall Master She on the altar flickered, and the other party rushed towards the place where Yu Lie was standing.

The pupils of Yu Lie shrank slightly, and they were about to dodge to avoid it immediately, and the energy and blood were about to circulate on their own.

But he held back his movements in time, and instead pretended that he couldn't react, and subconsciously took a few steps back.

next interest.

The hissing sound rang out more and more clearly next to Yu Lie's ears. It was the opponent's two-headed viper, which had already climbed onto Yu Lie's neck, and it was sending a swishing coolness.

Yu Lie also felt that Snake Chong's disgusting snake letter was licking his ears.

"Hey! Ertou likes you very much. It seems that you are indeed practicing poison kung fu. But it's just your temper, which is timid and tactful. Since you have already chosen to practice poison kung fu, you are afraid of doing this or that. Worse, useless!"

The masked Taoist stood in front of Yu Lie, looking at Yu Lie coldly.

Although Yu Lie heard the other party criticizing him, he saw arrogance and contempt in the other party's eyes. Obviously the other party looked down on him and looked down on him, so he was happy to see Yu Lie so "ugly".

Yu Lie lowered his head, continued to suppress his emotions, and did not speak.

The masked Taoist continued:
"The matter between you and that old man, I know everything about it. Speaking of which, that old guy robbed you of you that day, my way clearly saw it in my eyes. I wonder if you still remember this way?"

At the beginning, Yu Lie was deprived of his position in front of all the hall masters of the alchemy room when he was practicing alchemy in the alchemy room.The other seven hall masters were all there at the time, but they were all sneering and laughing.

Yu Lie cupped his hands: "It was dark in the room that day, and Yu Lie didn't dare to raise his head, so he didn't write down the hall master's appearance."

The masked Taoist replied: "You can rest assured, I came here today to tell you something good, to save your life, not to take away anything from you."

The other party disdainfully looked at the arrangement in the quiet room, and commented:
"Old man Fang sent you with this little thing, and you actually accepted it. When you are promoted to a higher position, remember to go to the door again and scratch him hard. That old man has been the hall master for 30 years. , although he is a piece of trash, so far he has been occupying the pit and has not been able to break through to become an eighth-rank Taoist, but his family background is very solid!"

Hearing what the other party said, Yu Lie's eyes were slightly weird.

Looking at what the other party said, it seems that Yu Lie has confirmed him again, and he can easily break through to the realm of a high-ranking Taoist boy.Could it be that this person really just came to win him over and give him benefits?
This made Yu Lie feel a little hopeful.

But the other party's next sentence made Yu Lie's mood sink immediately:
"At most three months, at least two months, when the time comes, the town will have a 'bigger army'. No matter whether it is the upper, middle or lower rank Taoist boys in the town, they need to go out of the town and patrol the range of thousands of miles. The Danfang Taoist needs to gather herbs, refine For medicine, Taoist boys of Qi Academy need to dig mines to get mud, and Beast Academy needs to hunt animals... Among them, the low-ranking ones are okay, and they can deal with it with a few medicines, but the middle-ranking Taoist boys are the main force of this training. Don't return to the town until the last moment."

When Yu Lie heard this, he was shocked: "Soldier?" He blurted out: "Why this time?"

The masked Taoist ignored his question and continued to talk:

"It's only been a few months since you were promoted to the middle rank. I'm afraid that you haven't even found an idea on how to quickly digest the changes in the copper tendons and iron bones. If you join the big training, you may be damaged in it. I suggest you take advantage of the news It hasn’t been leaked yet, and the prices in the town haven’t risen yet, so go to the black market to find a few pieces of talisman paper for body protection, in case you need to save your life when the time comes.”

Yu Lie suppressed the surprise in his heart, and quickly wrote down the other party's words.

For the Taoist boys in Heishui Town, going outside the town is a dangerous job.If he hadn't been forced to, Yu Lie would never have left the town to subdue the demon.

From this point of view, it was really a good thing that the other party told Yu Lie the news in advance, and it allowed Yu Lie to start preparing before most people.

Yu Lie nodded immediately: "Thank you, hall master, for reminding me!"

After explaining for a while, Hall Master She helped the mask on his face, seemed to remember Yu Lie's question just now, and said casually:
"'Big Soldier' ​​is a tradition in Heishuihe, and it usually only comes once every 12 years. You are lucky, you belong to the group destined to catch up.

It's just that it would only start next year, but whoever made the towns next door anxious, they began to recruit soldiers and train in the first half of the year, and the temple owner had to do it ahead of time, so as not to fall behind and delay the end of the year. "

The other party chuckled again: "Besides, there are advantages to being earlier. There are many advantages to 'bigger soldiers'. Maybe you can earn enough credit in this order of soldiers and get the qualifications for promotion. When the time comes Polish up the good things of the previous year and the end of the next year, or you will have a share."

Yu Lie listened carefully, and immediately understood that he probably couldn't escape the "bigger soldiers" that the other party said.

This made him feel sad for a while, thinking that he had finally gotten into the identity of the middle-ranking Taoist boy and the leader of the poisonous mouth, and now he has only filled his own pockets and drank tea and massaged for a month or two, and he is about to fall into such risky activities What a pity!

Yu Lie muttered in his heart:
"Isn't it okay to practice penance in the town? You have to go out of the town and risk your life!"

He didn't want to compete for the so-called benefits of recruiting soldiers at all, and he was only promoted to a higher position. Yu Lie was confident that he could achieve it comfortably.

But thinking about it, Yu Lie suddenly narrowed his eyes: "Once in 12 years, I am destined to catch up with the group, recruiting troops to train... Could it be that this matter happens to be related to the life and death trial of being a Taoist?"

While Yu Lie was thinking over and over again, Hall Master She suddenly asked again:

"Which year did you become a Daoist? Where did you come from?"

Yu Lie replied subconsciously: "Heidi 610, Qianjun."

Hall Master She heard this and nodded in satisfaction: "You and I are of the same age, so we can barely be considered from the same township. If that's the case, then I will give you another benefit."

This person suddenly pointed at the black starling who had been moved to the poison quiet room, and said:
"This 'Chi-eyed Hangao' of yours must have been carefully raised for a long time before it developed a bit of a monster! Hey, if this thing is psychic, it does have some magical effects, and it is also rare. I have "Blood Nourishment" On the side of Beast Subduing Pill Technique, you can try to practice it, if you can master it, you will have an extra helper when you go out of town."

The masked Taoist glanced at the surroundings of the altar again. The dead fish that Yu Lie deliberately hung out said disdainfully:
"Strength Blood Pill can't be refined casually. Be careful that you will go bankrupt by refining yourself. Please feel at ease to think about my pill technique, and you can use it immediately."

After finishing speaking, the other party threw a volume of alchemy book from his sleeve, and threw it on the altar.

Before Yu Lie could speak again, the person's body flickered, and he left the silent room without saying a word to Yu Lie. It seemed that he really just came by appointment to win over Yu Lie.

Yu Lie stood at the door of the quiet room, startled.He waited for a long time, but he didn't see Hall Master She returning, so he sealed the stone door of the quiet room.

As soon as the door was closed, there was only one person left in the quiet room.

Yu Lie's eyelids twitched immediately, thinking about the words of Hall Master She: "The same year?!"

"This person is from the same group as me, and came to Heishui Town!" Yu Lie almost bit his tongue.

He looked at the black starling who was locked in the cage again, and found that the bird was lying on its back and sleeping after eating and drinking...
