I Can’t Be a Sword God

There is faith in the cool wind, and the boundless autumn moon.

People in the palace live like years.

...

After passing the assessment, the three of them were placed in a group of newly promoted servants, and successfully sneaked into the Jiangnan Palace.

Monk Shenmu was assigned to the rockery group because of his physical strength.

There are four teams in the rockery group, which are moving mountains, making hills, unloading mountains, and touching gold.

He just arrived and was incorporated into the mountain-moving team. The daily work is to move the rockery in the east courtyard to the west courtyard, and then move the rockery in the west courtyard to the east courtyard.

He was curious at the time, and asked one more question, what is the use of moving around like this? He was punished head-on by the servants of the rockery group and not allowed to eat dinner for three days.

Because this sentence is too dangerous, if it reaches the ears of the little prince, more than half of the people in charge of the rockery will lose their jobs.

Monk Shenmu learned the first lesson of society.

It doesn't matter whether the things you do are useful or not, and it doesn't matter whether the impact is good or bad, as long as you create an illusion that they are busy.

...

Because of his quick legs and feet, Chen Huaji was assigned to the messenger team.

What was passed was not a letter from outside, but from inside the palace.

Because the Jiangnan Palace is really too big.

The main entrance of the Wangfu is still on the central street of Fucheng, and the courtyard wall spans two blocks, and the depth behind it is endless. The shape is not regular, and the farthest position is almost close to the root of the city wall.

With such a long distance, it may take half a day to go from the back garden to the front door.

Chen Huaji's task was to transport the news coming in from the east gate to the transfer point at the north gate. Someone else will transport those letters from the transfer point at the north gate to the transfer point at the south gate, and then to the transfer point at the west gate.

Usually it takes half an hour for a letter to be sent from the east gate to the back kitchen, but after such a transfer, it only takes three days...

At this time, if the sender is in a hurry, he can add two taels of silver to transfer his letter to an urgent one.

It only takes half an hour for an urgent letter to be sent from the east gate to the back kitchen...

Chen Huaji also learned a lesson from this.

It turns out that as long as the overall efficiency is infinitely reduced, then ordinary efficiency can be charged.

...

Li Chu was assigned to the cleaning team because he had no special skills.

In the cleaning group, there are mostly women and few men. Generally, men are required to do the dirty and tiring work of climbing up and down.

The task assigned to Li Chu was to clean the right ear of the stone lion on the left side in front of the west gate.

...

At the end of the day, the three get together.

The servants of the palace have a bedroom for four people, and the three of them came in together, and they were also allocated together.

When night comes, use some means to make the other roommate fall asleep, and the three of them can talk freely.

Chen Huaji collapsed on the ground exhausted, and said, "I'm exhausted."

The monk Shenmu also said angrily: "Grandpa is exhausted."

Chen Huaji wondered why this monk likes to play ethics?

He wanted to fight back, but after glancing at his bulging muscles, he dared not speak out.

Li Chu nodded: "It's really hard."

Chen Huaji and Shenmu stared at him with displeasure: "Where is the hard work of wiping the stone lion's ears?"

"And only wipe one."

"Is it struggling?"

"..."

Li Chu said calmly: "It's not tiring to wipe the stone lion's ears, but there are dozens of maids rushing to help me... I spent a lot of effort to stop them."

"Pfft—" the two vomited blood on their backs.

...

After the coquettish talk, Li Chu spread out a huge map of the palace in the middle of the room.

This was drawn by Mr. Wu based on his memory, and it covered the important places in the Jiangnan Palace, basically all the key things were in the same area.

"back yard."

Li Chu pointed to the large fuzzy part above the map.

The back garden is the most secret place in the entire palace. Although it is a large area, few people know what is hidden inside.

Most of the servants, maidservants, and guards of the palace are not allowed to approach the garden wall.

There are even legends circulating in the mansion, such as...someone couldn't help tiptoeing to look at the back garden when he approached the back garden, and then he was caught and filled the lake...and so on.

When Li Chu didn't enter the palace, he used his mind to spy on the secrets of the back garden.

It's a pity that the judgment of mind-eye technique is not advanced. As long as there is a restriction to isolate "Qi" somewhere, or there is a magic weapon that can block the breath, the mind-eye technique will be greatly affected.

He has also encountered this kind of experience in the past, but it is only a few bits and pieces. This is the first time that such a large and isolated area like the Jiangnan Prince's Mansion has been discovered.

He could see the outline of the garden, but he couldn't sense the existence inside.

It's like clicking on the small map, only to see a hazy fog, and the field of vision is greatly limited.

Chen Huaji entered the palace with a mission, and the information at hand was similar to that of Li Chu, only a sketch of the palace.

As for what secrets are hidden in the back garden, he doesn't know either.

In fact, when Chao Tianque sent him in, he only placed a pawn temporarily, without a clear direction.

Good Fortune Pill... Yanyue Sect... Different Demon Sect... These are all inextricably related to Jiangnan King, but he has to search for specific evidence by himself.

Monk Shenmu listened to Li Chu and Chen Huaji talking for a long time, and rubbed his head, "Listen to what you said, it seems that all the bad things these days have something to do with the Jiangnan King, he is a big villain!"

Li Chudao: "Whether it is true or not, we still have to check to find out. At least... I want to see it here."

He pointed to a red circle on the map.

It was marked by Mr. Wu, where the koi was held.

It's just that the red circle is very deep in the back garden, next to the attic where King Jiangnan lives. To get there, one must pass through a deep fog.

After discussing, set goals. Li Chu took the lead and walked out.

"Army attack!"

"Crush them!"

Chen Huaji and Shenmu also chanted slogans and blended into the vast night.

...

The courtyard of the Jiangnan Prince's Mansion is deep, and there are many guards on patrol. Of course, this will not trouble the few cultivators. There is no trace of Li Chu passing through the wall and the house, Chen Huaji's escape technique has already entered the room, and the monk Shenmu is also an extremely vigorous monk.

It's not so easy after passing the front yard and the foggy back garden. I don't know how many restraining formations there are, and I don't know what monsters are evil, so the future is unpredictable.

Three figures swished and crossed the high wall of the back garden.

The first thing I encountered was a mountain lake with a rockery pavilion in the lake.

The surface of the water was pale, reflecting the waning moon.

The surroundings are quiet, only the cool breeze is in the air, and it sounds like an actor weeping.

Monk Shenmu frowned first, and said: "Be careful, the atmosphere is not right."

Although there was no guard around, the three of them were still very careful.

Seeing that he was about to pass through this mountain lake, he suddenly heard a voice in the wind asking, "Where are you going?"

Sure enough, there are people!

The three of them had been prepared for a long time, and suddenly drew their weapons. The sound of the wind was faint, and they couldn't hear where the words came from.

The rosary beads carried by the monk Shenmu are Buddhist storage instruments, and each rosary can seal an item. When entering the mansion, Li Chu's sword and his stick were brought in in this way, so at this time he was not empty-handed.

As for Chen Huaji, no one knew what his weapon was... the moment he heard that voice, he disappeared instantly...

Immediately, there was a crashing sound.

It is not only the sound of water, but also the sound of gold and iron.

It turned out that a black shadow slowly protruded from the bottom of the water, and the one that came out first... was a bald man with sparse water-weed-like hair, and underneath was a cold and pale face.

The man was arched, his skin was pale and bloodless, and his eyes were cold with bloodthirsty and greed. When his figure fully emerged, it was revealed that he was wearing two thick iron chains between his ribs, and the iron chains were full of talisman inscriptions.

Was he chained at the bottom of the lake?

The figure was completely out of the water, and then smiled sinisterly:

"You...why don't you come down?"
