Fairy cage

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

Under the backdrop of the Shouwu worship, he seemed as small and weak as an insect.

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

After a good explanation, Shouwu worshiper said:

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

Practitioners are always like sailing against the current. If they don't advance, they will retreat. Even though you are young now and have lived less than one-tenth of your lifespan, a hundred years will be gone in a snap. "

As he spoke, the Shouwu worshiper sneered: "By the way, when you are promoted to the seventh rank, don't count the sixty-year period when you become a god after death into your life span."

"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 doubtful.

He secretly thought: "As a Taoist official, you are going to die. If you can survive for a while, even if you lose your body, you have earned it. The original Taoist disciples in Blackwater Town seemed to admire this. Why? Listening to the words of Shouwu worshiping, I feel quite reluctant. Is there any problem with becoming a god after death?"

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

But Shouwu worship did not answer. After a moment of silence, he just said: "This matter cannot be said or unsaid. You will naturally understand it later. If you have not understood it, it is actually not the same thing. bad thing."

The conversation changed and the other party suddenly said:

"By the way, remember, after entering the Taoist Palace, it is best to listen to all the sermons and lectures in the palace. Especially for those of you who have just started, there will be the first lecture. This class is not to be missed!”

After saying that, the other party shook his huge body, and an iron chain connected to the iron door of the alchemy room vibrated and opened it.

"In order to make a breakthrough, I have depleted my family's wealth, and what little I have left has to be left to another person. I have nothing to gain from giving it to you today, so your trip was in vain."

Shouwu offered farewell to the guests and said, "Go back and 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 bowed his head:

"You're joking. Yu Lie has kept the Taoist priest's warning in mind, so he doesn't dare to ask for any more benefits."

After giving a solemn salute to the other party, Yu Lie respectfully left the dark Earth Fire Alchemy Room.

boom!

As soon as he went out, the iron door slammed shut behind him, and his ears fell silent for an instant.

The sharp sense of corruption that had been pressing on Yu Lie disappeared in an instant, making Yu Lie's face relax slightly.

Yu Lie couldn't help but look back at the iron door behind him, with a deep look of thought on his face.

"I thought that this person couldn't make a breakthrough, hurt his soul, and couldn't even become a ghost or god. But from what he said, that's not the case. It's that he doesn't want to be a so-called ghost. What's so strange about this?"

Yu Lie thought about it for a while and saw that he couldn't find a clue, so he put it down forcefully. He planned to wait until he listened to the lesson specially taught by the other party before he could think about this point calmly.

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

A seventh-grade Taoist official failed to break through the barrier once. His path in this life was cut off, his body was completely destroyed, and his soul was lost to such an extent, which deeply touched him.

Yu Lie tightened his robe tightly, thinking to himself that he must not slack off just because he was young, had good cultivation and status, otherwise the present being enshrined in Shouwu might be his future.

In particular, although he won the second place in the assessment, there are twelve rounds of assessments in a Taoist palace a year, and there are more than 10,000 new Taoist disciples every year. He is not at the same level among these new Taoist disciples. Bad, but only a little eye-catching.

Yu Lie thought to himself: "You can't drag your tail in the quagmire and think that you have a promising future. You must keep up your efforts and work hard!"

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

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

In the shop, Luo Senna's face was filled with joy because she was busy. When she heard Yu Lie mentioning Shou Wu for worship, her face was startled. When she understood the hint in Yu Lie's words, she was asked to hurry up and meet Shou Wu. When Wu worships.

Lawson's face was even stiffer, and there was obvious worry in his eyes. She hurriedly raised her hands towards Yu Lie and said, "Thank you very much, Brother Lie. I'll be there right now."

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

He paused and said in deep thought:

"Sister Luo, please advise Taoist Priest Shouwu. As a human being, it is better to die than live. If you are a ghost or a god, another sixty years will be worth a mortal life."

"I know!" Luo Sen nodded heavily, saluted again, and then left.

The conversation between the two did not avoid Miaom.

Therefore, after listening to Miaomu on the side for a few times, although she did not understand the specific reason, she vaguely understood that there was a backer behind Luo Sen. The backer was a seventh-grade Taoist official, who seemed to be from the Taoist palace. Seventh grade Taoist official!

This made Miaomu's eyes suddenly filled with surprise and envy: "Good guy, I thought Sister Luosen was just a freeloader like me. I didn't expect that she would have such a background."

However, Miaomu didn't have any bad thoughts because of this. She only wanted to have a better relationship with Luo Sen and give Yu and Luo a hard push!

The woman secretly thought in her heart: "You can't miss a person like this, fellow Taoist fellow Taoist Yu. I can also benefit from it."

She glanced at Yu Lie secretly.

Yu Lie watched Luo Sen leave in a hurry and noticed Miaomu's eyes. After nodding towards Miaomu, he walked into his own room.

The elixir shop continued to operate busy and nervously.

Yu Lie was in the room. He first took the accounts compiled by Luo Sen and Miaom in the morning and looked at them.

Then he spread out a transmission note, and after thinking about it for a few times, he wrote a transmission note and sent it to the place where Song Danqing was working in the Qianlin Chamber of Commerce, inviting the other party to come and work.

………………

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

The two met again.

Song Danqing's face lost the familiarity he had with Yu Lie before. When the other party saw the huge elixir shop and the calm Yu Lie, his face inevitably showed a sense of unfamiliarity, or to be precise, respect. feel.

Although this person came from the same place as Yu Lie, he is still under twenty years old. Logically speaking, he is very likely to be worshiped in the Taoist palace. That was exactly what Song Danqing himself thought at the time.

But after entering Qianzhou Dao City, working day after day had worn away his arrogance, especially since he had already participated in a Tao Palace assessment, and he had already thoroughly understood that Taoist disciples like himself, There are quite a lot of them in Qianzhou Daocheng, but they are unremarkable.

Many Daocheng natives who were also young and capable also failed in the assessment, and Song Danqing's defeat was even more common.

This completely demoralized Song Danqing and made him feel confused. Because of this, Song Danqing was worried about gains and losses now that he was invited by Yu Lie.

Being able to serve under the disciples of the Dao Palace, he will not only have ample time and spiritual stones, but he may also get help from Yu Lie to help him enter the Dao Palace!

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

But when Yu Lie revealed his identity as a Taoist palace, Song Danqing's worries immediately disappeared, leaving only ecstasy.

Especially when talking to him, Yu Lie revealed that the reason why he invited him to come and was responsible for welcoming him was actually because of an inconspicuous meeting with him when he was in the library of Blackwater Town. It’s about a little effort.

This made Song Danqing deeply moved and stunned for a moment.

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

However, he had just received the warning to enshrine Shouwu in the morning, and he was nervous, so he didn't pay too much attention to it, and he was not in the mood to show off. He just exchanged greetings with the other party a few times, and then handed the other party an identity card.

"Brother Song doesn't have to be on duty today, and there's no need to rush over tomorrow. Let's finish the business with the Chamber of Commerce first."

When Song Danqing heard this, he knew it was time for him to retreat, and he immediately bowed and said, "Thank you for taking care of me, my boss. You are busy."

He faced Yu Lie, took a few steps back respectfully, and then turned around. When leaving, he closed the door gently, 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 when walking, but his legs and feet were extremely light, and there was wind in every step.

After a while, he walked back to a spell shop owned by the Qianlin Chamber of Commerce.

This shop is similar to the small medicine refining workshop where Yu Lie worked in the past. It has no storefront and is just one of the sources of supplies for other shops.

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

He put everything he could take away into his pocket.

These are the talisman-drawing equipment and essential talisman materials that he has accumulated over the past year. He must not leave them in the workshop and benefit others in vain.

While Song Danqing was cleaning up, a bald old talisman in the workshop walked over quickly and shouted:

"Xiao Song, what are you doing? Why did you skip work just now? Thanks to me covering you up, you got over. Come here quickly and help me outline some spells."

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

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

But now, Song Danqing heard the bald old talisman shouting. He patted his sleeves, took out a blank talisman paper, used his energy to write, then threw it on the table, laughing loudly:

"Who asked you to help cover up? Just file a complaint. Grandpa, I won't serve you anymore!"

These words made the old Talisman disciple stunned. He looked suspicious and opened his mouth to drink: "You kid, what's wrong with you? You don't want today's spirit stone either?!"

Hearing the word "spiritual stone", Song Danqing was really stunned, but when he thought of Yu Lie's wages and Yu Lie's promise to give him an advance, his heart felt hot.

Song Danqing just waved to the old talisman and walked out of the workshop without looking back.

Such commotion in the workshop naturally attracted the attention of other Taoist disciples and Taoist boys. They all poked their heads or simply came out to take a look.

The old Fu disciple's expression became even more suspicious, and he stared at Song Danqing's back.

The old Fu disciple mumbled, "Getting rich? That shouldn't be the case. This guy is a foreigner. He doesn't know much about anything. He does a lot of work on weekdays and works two jobs in a row."

Seeing Song Danqing's effort in leaving so freely, the old fu disciple touched the top of his head. In addition to being sulky at being contradicted by the other party, there was also a hint of envy in his eyes.

Turning around, the old talisman shouted to the Taoist disciples who were watching the excitement: "Are you done with the work at hand? Start working quickly, otherwise this month's payment will not be paid out until who knows when."

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

He didn't dare to delay his work, otherwise he might not be able to pay for the cage house next month. That is family property money that has been passed down from our ancestors and cannot be corrupted.

After Song Danqing resigned from his job, he rushed to the headquarters of the Qianlin Chamber of Commerce and handed over a letter again, requesting that the signed dragon energy contract be canceled and invalidated.

This process is a bit complicated, and the chamber of commerce may not let you go. After a lot of busy work, Song Danqing thought that he would have to come again tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, 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 owned by the Taoist Palace, the Taoist disciple in charge of general affairs in the Chamber of Commerce changed his eyes slightly, and he hurriedly approved his request for termination before getting off work, and even talked to him. He exchanged names.

After receiving the conclusive document of dissolution from the Chamber of Commerce, the contract in the Daolu was immediately cancelled, and Song Danqing breathed a sigh of relief.

As for the other part-time job, he didn't need to run over to inform him. Anyway, the wages for that job were paid daily, so he just had to write a letter and explain it.

After all this was done, by the time Song Danqing walked out of the workshop, it was already dusk.

As he was walking, he suddenly stopped and looked towards the west of Daocheng blankly.

I saw a slumping blood-red sun hanging high in the sky, jumping away from thousands of buildings.

The huge workshop was pressed on the ground, and together with the densely packed buildings, it was illuminated by the crimson twilight, and the whole body was splashed red. The sky was illuminated by the sunset, and the air was clear.

This scene is grand and magnificent.

Song Danqing steadied his body and stood among the numb faces who were going to and from work like a tide, and his personal time seemed to have stopped.

"It's been a long time since I last saw the sunset."

Song Danqing was confused, and then as if he remembered something, he quickly picked up his sleeves and walked quickly out of the workshop.

He felt hot in his heart: "You can have a good rest tonight and recharge your batteries. When you go to work tomorrow, you can bow and serve Brother Yu!"

Song Danqing's footsteps were hurried, and he happily stepped into the ground of Daocheng where even the sunlight could not reach, and rushed to the coffin hotel.
