The Lord who use immortals as food

Xing Zhi pretended not to hear and smiled at the man: "Sorry to trouble you, Mr. Qi."

The man in Taoist robes smiled and clasped his fists: "Seeing that Xing Zishou has an assignment, there is no reason to refuse."

Xie Chuantang handed over a thin scroll, and the man took it with a salute and left.

It was a secondment official document signed by Jing Zhaoyin. After doing this, he could get a "second-class official salary" at Xianrentai. It was also included in the cases this month. Pei Ye was very angry when he learned about it from Xing Zhi. novel.

"Otherwise, why would you, Mr. Pei, come as soon as I call someone? The inspectors also have to eat and support their families." Xing Zhi said, "Some yamen cannot issue such official documents, and can only issue low-standard ones, and they can't hire them." The manpower of Immortal Terrace.”

Pei Ye immediately learned: "Then I will go back and ask Master Di to make up one for you."

Xing Zhi smiled: "Xia Pei usually relies on being a savior to deal with people, so he doesn't need to get involved in these mundane tasks."

Now that the painting was in his hands, Pei Ye couldn't help but frown. In fact, after accepting his suggestion and adding two hind limbs, it looked like a living creature. Whether it was a pig-shaped dragon or a four-legged snake, it all looked the same. If he went by the man's intuitive first draft, he really couldn't think of any living creature with a trunk and tail but only two forelimbs.

But this thing is also very strange. At least the two types above are scales, but they are not smooth scales.

Since he had no clue, he could only follow the portraits bit by bit and analyze the map of Shenjing City. Several people outlined several paths and searched them one by one.

After all the hard work, the sky was already dark, and the men were going to search all night. Now Pei Ye didn't want to participate in this kind of work that was probably fruitless. He leaned on the chair and thought for a while, but still couldn't find a clue, so he simply got up. He said goodbye to the two of them, pointed to the wounds on his body with a smile, and left.

The sky is getting dark, but the clouds have dispersed, and the warm orange sunlight has filled the air. Shenjing City seems to be so lively at any time.

Maybe this city is too big and there are too many people. No matter how shocking the darkness is, it is just a wave and cannot affect its brilliance.

"Kitten, isn't it really funny how a tadpole turns into a toad?" Pei Ye frowned and tilted his head.

"funny."

Pei Ye chuckled, raised his eyebrows, raised his head and sighed softly: "You know, kitten, I actually feel that the way I touched [Naked Heart Seeing Blade] was wrong again."

He looked at the little black dumpling on his shoulder: "Just like when I was learning "Cicada Sword", do you still remember? At that time, I couldn't figure out why [Spreading Wings] could be used in actual combat with the [Qingming] 】, this move is obviously so stupid. It’s like being frozen as soon as the sword is used, and it is impossible to deal with the enemy. "

"Later, I enlightened for a long time, and learned not to stick to the form of the move, but to receive the move in the state of [spreading wings], forcing myself to change the power at my fingertips, and thus stepped into the peak of the sword realm." Pei Ye recalled, "Later, Li Minqing told me that this move has a matching footwork."

"It was specifically used to avoid enemy attacks when [Spreading Wings] was charging up, but it was lost."

Pei Ye smiled: "I think this is the same now. Originally, I needed a set of water body skills, but I was forced to use [Naked Heart Seeing Blade]."

He asked curiously: "Kitty cat, do you think I am destined to turn danger into good fortune and take risks in danger? I should go into more dangerous situations like this in the future."

"Don't take me with you if you want to die."

Pei Ye rolled his eyes lightly.

"You haven't told me in detail what happened to you. How come you don't seem to be injured at all and you are much more energetic?"

"Yes, it's very complementary."

"ah?"

The black cat raised his eyes from his shoulder and was silent for a moment: "The place I was pulled into that day was very strange."

"Um?"

"I have no memory of it, but it seems that I am no stranger to this method." Black Cat whispered, "When I was inside, I felt that I was not far away from you, but it seemed that there was a film separating us."

Pei Ye frowned and thought, "What about that big python? Is it real? I remember it appeared and disappeared, but no water was pushed away and rushed back."

"Water snake. "Shu Yi Ji" of the Southern Dynasties said that the water snake will turn into a dragon in five hundred years, and the dragon will turn into a dragon in a thousand years; it will turn into a horned dragon in another five hundred years, and it will turn into a dragon in a thousand years. It is this kind of spiritual creature in the water."

Pei Ye's eyes widened: "Is it so magical?"

"It was scrawled."

"oh."

"There are no such natural spiritual creatures in the human world anymore, at least far earlier than the time of the author." The black cat said, "But I met a male and a female."

It looked at the sky quietly. The kitten had been relatively silent for two days. What it saw this time seemed to affect many of its thoughts.

"It's okay, they are what we are checking now." Pei Ye patted it, "Sooner or later the truth will come to light."

During the conversation, Pei Ye stopped and saw the plaque of Taishan Medical Building in front of him.

After handing in his name, he was led up to the familiar medical pavilion.

Pushing the door open, there was indeed only a girl in plain clothes in the quiet room, standing among a table of medicinal materials and instruments, tinkering with something.

It's always so quiet here, and the light medicinal fragrance creates an atmosphere that makes people relax as soon as they come in.

Qu Xin turned around and looked at him: "I wanted you to come over the day before yesterday, why did you miss it by two days?"

Pei Ye didn't say anything, just took off his shirt, spread a piece of cloth for incision, and lay on the bed obediently.

Then he raised his head, Qu Xin looked at him who was covered in wounds, and he looked at Qu Xin who was silent.

"You really make me happy." Qu Xin said calmly, turned around and washed his hands, and began to prepare knives and medicine.

The girl's medical skills never have to worry about broken bones, external wounds, internal injuries, and any other strange conditions. It seems that as long as they happen to the human body, there is nothing difficult for her.

After applying medicine to him, Pei Ye looked at the wounds that were neatly sewn with thin threads. There were some new ones and some old ones, which looked strangely beautiful.

"Qu Xin," Pei Ye suddenly raised his eyes and shouted, "Do you have that kind of medicine to remove scars? The wounds that were stitched up in Shaolong last time left traces in several places."

"Yes, I've used it for you every time."

Pei Ye lifted the quilt and pointed: "Then look at the slant on the chest, it's so obvious."

Qu Xin glanced at it and said, "Oh, I left this on purpose."

"?"

"You'd think it'd be more manly."

"I will. When did I feel that-" Pei Ye glared, "When did I express this to you?"

"Okay, I think so." Qu Xin admitted, stopping what he was doing, "What, don't you like it?"

". Qu Xin."

"Um."

"I'm not your toy."

"."

Even though this little Yaojun had to surprise him every time he came, she was indeed the person Pei Ye trusted the most when he was seriously injured. However, this life-saver is leaving soon, and the date is scheduled for the early morning of the day after tomorrow.

Pei Ye, who was still thinking about sending something to Bowang, naturally did not miss this opportunity. Although he had entrusted a lot to the girl, the more he thought about it, the more things he needed to buy. Most importantly, he wanted to send some money back.

But what I borrowed from Qi Zhaohua that day was a fifty-tael silver note, so I had to go to the bank to redeem it.

Perhaps because he was caught doing something small, Qu Xin didn't ask for the money for his medicine this time. Pei Ye rarely felt proud in front of her and walked out of the hospital building with a high head.

In fact, he still didn't know why Qu Xin wanted to "decorate" himself, and suddenly he became inexplicably wary of whether this girl was starting to have a crush on him. Black Cat replied, "Maybe she just looks at you more when you're not wearing clothes." many".

It was already getting late, so Pei Ye and Mao Mao temporarily headed back to the Sword Xiuyuan.

Most of the time, the young man's mind was still thinking about the scale monsters smuggled by Nanjinfeng. However, he just asked Qu Xin for advice, but he didn't get much. News came from Jingzhao Mansion, saying that no traces of him walking on the shore were found. It inevitably made him more distressed.

Pei Ye was still thinking about getting ashore. This thing disappeared inexplicably from the water. It was most likely that it hid on the shore. There is no problem with this inference. But there is no reason to leave no traces when landing on the shore. Could it be that it also had a pair of wings?

Pei Ye couldn't figure it out more and more, so he had to hope that Jingzhao Mansion would come up with some new results tomorrow.

In the Sword Xiuyuan, the two residents were still living their lives as if they would never change. In their eyes, this was just another ordinary night when the young man came back with serious injuries.

After saying hello and returning to the house, it was dawn as soon as I fell asleep.

Early the next morning, Pei Ye took out his small backpack. Before going out, he would put these things under his bedding. Although the two of them did not steal from him, this was a habit he had developed.

The fifty taels borrowed from Qi Zhaohua were inside. Pei Ye glanced at it casually and carried it out. When he stepped out of the door, he received a message from Jingzhao Mansion.

Xianrentai and Jingzhao Mansion are indeed not just doing nothing, and the scale and intensity of the search are by no means comparable to that of the gangs. After one night, Xie Chuantang told him that "there has been some progress in the case, so we can take a look together."

Pei Ye was not in a hurry. He took a slight detour and happened to pass by a "rich bank".

There were plaques with dragons and phoenixes flying in and out, and Pei Ye walked in curiously with her backpack on her shoulder, not knowing where to go for a moment.

This is indeed the first time he has stepped into this kind of place. To be honest, it feels very good. People in rich and beautiful clothes come and go, which makes Pei Ye himself have the illusion of being "quite wealthy".

"The guest will make a lot of money!" A shopkeeper greeted with a smile, "What do you want from me?"

"Hello, shopkeeper, I'll exchange a fifty-tael silver note." Pei Ye opened the bag.

"Hmm." The shopkeeper raised his head and said, "It's easy to say, please invite the guests here. I wonder which company it is from?"

Pei Ye was confused: "What?"

The shopkeeper smiled: "Xinglong, Dongjin, Bafang, or maybe we are rich and noble. Many families have issued silver notes, but other people's bills have to be discounted at 95% when cashing them here, and some even have to discount them at 85%."

Pei Ye was startled. Qi Zhaohua didn't mention this when he gave him the banknote. He only said that he could exchange it anywhere.

"Of course," the shopkeeper added with a smile, "there is also the 'Jihui' issued by the Ministry of Revenue, which is accessible to all nine states. We are willing to exchange it in cash at 10%."

It’s enough if it can be fully redeemed. Why add more money?

Pei Ye couldn't help but be curious, but the shopkeeper's kind smile lines seemed to hide a world that a young man could never guess.

"'Ji Hui' mostly comes from the Qingzi family. We often say it is salary money, and it is generally not easy to see." The shopkeeper smiled, walked behind the stage and pointed with a smile, "Guests, look, this is our bank's silver certificate." . The ancient seal script with green lines and the world-wide landscape painted by Master Changsun Yue are instantly recognizable."

"Yes, it's indeed beautiful." Pei Ye looked at it and took out the banknotes from his bag. The shopkeeper behind the counter ordered someone to get some silver coins, "But mine is not like this."

The young man put his banknote on the table and pushed it gently.

"Look, if it's from someone else, it won't be honored." He was thinking about the 20% discount.

"Okay." The shopkeeper smiled and took it, but immediately raised his eyebrows slightly, put it on the table again, lowered his head and looked at it from right to left.

Pei Ye looked at his expression and felt relieved. She stared at the small door at the back where the money came out, but she was wondering whether to pay back the money to the layman, fifty taels or fifty-one taels.

At this time, the shopkeeper raised his head and looked at him. He didn't speak for a while. Pei Ye smiled and said, "I am 'Ji Hui', right? I know, he is a friend of mine who is an official."

"You're lying."

"."

"."

"What did you say?" Pei Ye's tone had never been so cold as now.

The shopkeeper pushed the banknote to him and said seriously: "Guest, the banknotes vary from bank to bank, but there is no handwriting on them."

Pei Ye lowered his gaze. There were rubbings on other parts of the banknote, but the small line "Issue on October 20" at the bottom made him freeze in place.

——He used to write the word "二" with one less dash, and he also liked to add a dash to "尰".

Caohe Office.

Today, the public is even busier, because the big ship that exploded in the core of Yangjiadu has been salvaged and sorted out, and some key items have been transported over.

A shocking fine iron vat was brought into the office, and Xing Zhi and Xie Chuantang were standing around to examine it carefully.

At this moment, the door was pushed open silently, and the familiar tall figure of the young man walked in, rarely saying hello to anyone.

Xing Zhi still leaned over to retrieve the traces. Xie Chuantang saw this figure and nodded: "Here we come. The big tank you mentioned has been brought back, and we have discovered a key point."

Very gratifying progress. After day and night efforts, all parties have made progress.

Xie Chuantang handed something to him: "Look, this is the lock of the shackles. Xing Zishou said that this thing is embedded with spiritual patterns, which has the effect of imprisoning and losing strength. This is also the only object in this vat that was not damaged by violence. "

Xie Chuantang looked at him seriously, and it was undeniable that there was some expectation. The youngest boy was now like a pillar.

". across the hall."

"Huh?" Xie Chuantang was startled and was ready to be ordered.

"No, that, God," Pei Ye held her arm tightly, "I'll report the case."
