Fairy cage

After Yu Lie left, Deng Luogu continued to stay near Daolu Courtyard, standing on the street waiting for guests.

It's a pity that he was unlucky today, and he still couldn't wait for a customer later. Finally, when Daoluyuan went overseas and the flow of people was so sparse that there was no more traffic, Deng Luogu could only follow him in despair. Down the hill.

But this guy did not return to his dormitory. Instead, he slipped out of the Daogong Mountain Gate, walked not far, and came to a splendid building.

It was only evening, and the building was already filled with light. Its cornices and brackets were shaped like a pagoda. Under the eaves of each floor, red lanterns the size of carriages were hung. The walls were also gilded, with alternating gold and red. It was so dazzling that even the sunset on the horizon was much inferior to it.

The huge words "Hehuan Building" are hung on the building. When pedestrians approach, they will hear all kinds of silver bell-like laughter in their ears:

"My guest, come here! Practice with the slave family."

Although the night is not deep yet, the business in Hehuan Building is already very good, with cars and horses flowing in front of the door. In other words, business here is always so hot from morning to night.

One after another, the servants came out, took away the spirit beast mounts of the customers who came to visit, and took good care of them.

Logically speaking, people like Deng Luogu who walked to the front of the building were not worthy of the attention of the boy in front of Hehuan Building. But who asked him to wear the standard Taoist robes worn during lectures and lectures in the Taoist palace, which clearly revealed his identity as a disciple of the Taoist palace.

Immediately, a servant came forward flatteringly: "Hey, sir, please come!"

"Business is good today." Deng Luogu looked at the scene in the building with familiarity. He interrupted the boy's guidance and said:

"Where is my good sister? Just take Pindao there."

Hearing the word "good sister" uttered from Deng Luogu's mouth, and combined with Deng Luogu's status as a Taoist disciple, the young man immediately guessed that Deng Luogu was not here to have fun today, but to make money in the building. .

However, the smile on the boy's face did not disappear. He only showed a look of envy and said quickly: "Taoist Master, please come with me."

Deng Luogu walked in all directions and followed the boy in a swaggering manner. After passing through the cloister, winding and winding, and walking up the stairs, I came to a quiet place.

As soon as the boy retreated, the proud look on Deng Luogu's face instantly turned into a look of respect. He held his waist in his mouth, ran into the house with small steps, and shouted: "Good sister, it's the boy." Damn me."

Deng Luogu suppressed his voice and did not dare to bark too loudly. He meowed like a kitten three times before a lazy voice sounded in the room:

"Come in."

As soon as Deng Luogu walked in, the respectful look on his face became more obvious, his chest was hunched over. He quickly took out a jade bottle from his sleeve and held it in his hand:

"Junior is here to deliver the goods."

The woman in the room glanced at the jade bottle in Deng Luogu's hand and sneered:

"There's only one again. You're really a loser. You can't win over others, so you can only use your own to make up the number. You're not afraid of emptying yourself."

Deng Luogu smiled sarcastically and quickly began to explain how he worked hard in the palace. But the woman in the room just looked at him coldly, as if watching a monkey show.

Deng Luogu tried his best to please the woman in the room, because he knew that the woman liked to hear about things in the Taoist palace, so he also told what happened to Yu Lie today.

He said with a regretful expression: "The guy surnamed Yu thought it would be easier to talk to him because he was a classmate. But who knew that the junior was telling the truth at that time, but he was still worried about it and refused to accept it. You know, I helped him during the assessment."

Deng Luogu also said with a tone of gloating: "In addition to getting a Taoist reputation when he first preached, this guy fell out of the Thousand List a year ago. The last time someone asked him for an appointment He didn't even dare to agree to the fight, for fear of exposing his strength and provoking ridicule.

Moreover, it had been more than a year since he had been a member of the Taoist Palace before he went to the Taoist Courtyard to test a spell. Come to think of it, this guy was just lucky to be ranked second in the imperial examination..."

When Deng Luogu was talking about matters in the palace, the woman in the room listened carefully and did not interrupt Deng Luogu.

And behind the screen that Deng Luogu couldn't see, there was a writing brush floating in the air. It was shaking and recording all the things Deng Luogu had told in a thick book. .

Among the pages opened in the book, what is recorded in other locations is all kinds of information in the Tao Palace.

But suddenly, when Deng Luogu mentioned Yu Lie's full name, the woman behind the screen heard it and was slightly startled.

The woman paused and suddenly interrupted Deng Luogu. She casually made a hand gesture, and a spiritual light surged on the large screen, and a face appeared according to her intention:

"The Taoist disciple you mentioned is this person?"

When Deng Luogu looked up, he immediately saw a fair and handsome smiling face on the screen. It was exactly what Yu Lie looked like, but he looked a little childish.

He cupped his hand and said immediately: "My good sister is well-informed. This is the person."

When the woman behind the screen heard this, her eyes immediately became playful, and her leaning body also sat up slightly.

If Yu Lie were here, he would definitely find that this woman looks extremely familiar. She has a plump figure, and her whole body exudes a light and mature charm, which makes people feel itchy at the first glance.

Because this woman is none other than Yu Lie's landlady when she lived alone in Blackwater Town. She is also a well-known female donor in Blackwater Town, the kind who gives in the flesh.

It's just that the landlady's hair is slightly curly and covered with gorgeous silk. Her skin is shiny, and her cultivation level is very high at first glance. She has the same temperament as when she was doing it with the door half closed. different.

"I thought it was just a guy with the same name, but I didn't expect it was really this guy." The landlady thought to herself:

"He and this guy named Deng are from the same group of Taoist disciples. In other words, this guy had already joined the Taoist palace before I came to Qianzhou Daocheng?"

Realizing this, the landlady was very surprised and thought to herself: "In other words, this son broke through to become a Taoist disciple and became a Taoist palace, all within one or two years of leaving Blackwater Town."

Her eyes flickered, and with a thought in her heart, she immediately caused the screen to change, causing batches of names to appear on it, and asked Deng Luogu: "When your classmate first appeared on the Thousand People List, which issue was it?" ?”

Deng Luogu thought about it and opened his mouth to answer. But before he spoke, his eyes fell on a very obvious red name on the screen, and he was stunned for a moment.

The screen is specially made, and it can record and display the past rankings of Taoist palaces, etc. It can be viewed both front and back.

And the names of Taoist disciples that have changed more recently will become brighter red on the list.

Yu Lie's name is on today's list, and it is the bright red color that attracts the most attention.

The woman behind the screen also noticed this. She was silent for a moment and chuckled:

“Looks like there’s no need to look back.

Ranking six hundred and sixty-six is ​​a good ranking. It seems that your classmate is not as miserable as you said. "

Deng Luogu's eyes widened and he stared at the word "Yu Lie" on the list, thinking he was dazzled.

Hearing the woman's words, Deng Luogu subconsciously wanted to refute, but realizing that the woman was the new leader of the entire Hehuan Building, he hurriedly shut up and almost bit his tongue.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible." But Deng Luogu still wondered in his heart:

"Even if this guy has mastered more than one spell, and has mastered all of them to perfection, and passed the assessment. He shouldn't have climbed up to the thousand-person list, let alone reached the 666th place in one breath... I haven’t even seen him on the list this morning.”

But immediately, a thought emerged in Deng Luogu's mind: "Could it be that this guy didn't go to the Taoist Academy to obtain a spell certificate, but was promoted to the Taoist Academy!

Did he break through again? "

Although he really didn't want to admit this possibility, his mind told Deng Luogu that apart from this reason, there was basically no reason to explain Yu Lie's ranking rising so much.

And it is very likely that Yu Lie's transformation is of very high quality and has a solid foundation, which is rare among Taoist disciples in recent years!

Deng Luogu looked at the two short comments after the word "Yu Lie" with a mixture of surprise and suspicion, and a feeling of jealousy also filled his heart.

At the same time, there was also a strong sense of shame that made him want to find a place to get in, and his whole face became numb.

Because Deng Luogu felt that the woman's smiling gaze behind the screen was piercing him like a knife.

The landlady looked at this guy's embarrassed look and laughed loudly: "You are such a talented person, and you still want to drag him to come to me and sell your body to make a living?

What a great idea, what a great idea. "

When Deng Luogu heard this, he suppressed his embarrassment and said solemnly: "I am blind, but please rest assured, dear sister, this matter will not affect the development of the business."

But the result was beyond his expectation. There was a sound of clapping hands behind the screen.

The woman replied: "I am praising you.

Since such characters are worthy of their Taoist heritage, they are naturally good people and must not be missed. If you can bring him over to me, or obtain his essence seeds, I will reward you! "

Deng Luogu was stunned. After he was slightly stunned, his eyes immediately showed joy.

The man trembled and quickly raised his hands: "Yes!"

………………

Except for the scene that happened in Hehuan Building.

That night.

In the Dao Palace, as well as other locations in Dao City, there was also a little disturbance because of this small ranking change on the Thousand People List.

………………

Tie Jianlan ended a day of fierce fighting, and her body was covered with scars.

She dragged her tired body back to the courtyard, standing naked by the pool alone, washing the sweat and wounds on her body.

After finishing washing, she hugged her iron sword again and kept it warm for a full hour. Then she jumped into the pool and sent out a transmission note, asking someone to send her the latest ranking list to see where she was today. On the list again, moved up a few places.

But at the first glance after getting the new ranking, her eyes did not fall on her own name, but also on Yu Lie's name.

Tie Jianlan was stunned for a while. She silently searched down the remaining names, and finally found her own name at the 698th position.

Ranked 698, she has improved by six places compared to yesterday, and has also broken through to less than 700!

Compared with past progress, today's achievement is worthy of celebration, and it can prove that she has not slacked off in her practice.

But for some reason, Tie Jianlan stared straight at the word "Yu Lie" in the ranking, and couldn't be happy today.

………………

The Zhu family in Daocheng.

Yu Fenggao failed to get an independent courtyard at the mountain gate of Daogong, and he did not want to live in a cramped dormitory. Therefore, since entering the palace, he has been living among the concubines in Xinbangshang.

Although the situation is a bit embarrassing, in addition to the Zhu family and others, he also attracts ridicule from his colleagues in the Taoist palace from time to time.

However, living in the Zhu family's mansion has abundant spiritual energy, which is conducive to Qi refining and allows him to practice at a slightly faster speed than other Taoist disciples. Therefore, Yu Fenggao only regarded these rumors as nothing.

This day.

After practicing hard until evening, Yu Fenggao felt that his Qi had improved again, and thought to himself with joy:

"With the aura of the Zhu family and the daily spiritual food and medicinal diet, my cultivation speed is even higher than that of ordinary family members in the palace... If I continue my efforts, I will be able to overcome the 'seven orifices in the heart' within four years. The probability is high. More than 60%!”

There was a look of confidence and pride on his face.

Recalling those rumors, Yu Fenggao's eyes showed a cold look: "You all are waiting, waiting for me step by step, leaving you far behind, and come back to see you again!"

He narrowed his eyes slightly and thought of a certain bitch in his mind: "Especially you, and my good cousin!"

Yu Fenggao thought and inspired himself for a while, sat cross-legged in the feminine boudoir, and planned to immerse himself in cultivation again.

But before he could get into the mood, the door to the boudoir suddenly opened, waking him up.

Because Yu Fenggao is not the owner of the boudoir, he has no right to start the formation, and he is not qualified to chain the door. Yu Fenggao had a cold look in his eyes, thinking that some blind "boy" or "mean maid" was coming to disturb him again, so he immediately looked over with a cold look.

But when he looked up, he found that the person coming was his lovely Zhu family girl.

Bang bang!

Yu Fenggao's expression immediately changed, and he looked at the other party with tender and affectionate eyes.

I saw a strong woman in palace clothes, nine feet wide and nine feet tall, appearing in front of Yu Fenggao. She held a newspaper in her hand and shouted:

"Brother Yu, let's take a look. Is this the cousin you mentioned who eats everything and wants to drive you out of the house?"

Yu Fenggao didn't know why, so he kept his tone as gentle as possible and asked: "Good sister, what happened to my cousin?"

"Look!" The nine-foot-high palace-dressed woman put the newspaper in her hand hard into Yu Fenggao's arms, almost knocking him off the futon.

Yu Fenggao finally managed to regain his balance. Then he picked up the newspaper and took a look at it. He immediately found the word "Yu Lie" marked on it.

He scanned the Di Bao again and realized that it was a Di Bao specially responsible for recording the list of Taoist palaces. He was stunned on the spot:

"Why did he go up again?"

The woman in palace attire had a look of hatred on her face and said, "I asked someone to find out. This guy went to Daolu Academy today. It seems that he made a breakthrough in his cultivation, which caused the palace to recalculate his ranking."

boom!

She slapped the stainless steel table next to Yu Fenggao and hummed:

"The ghosts and gods who are doing the assessment are so shameless.

This kind of scoundrel with no talent or virtue actually gave him the comment "worthy of his Taoist heritage". He must be deliberately complimenting Shan Yangzi's bad feet. "

Yu Fenggao was startled awake by the loud noise made by the stainless steel table.

But his expression changed, and he just held the newspaper tightly, not knowing what to say.
