Chapter Three Hundred and Twenty Seven: Entering the House
"Fellow Daoist Yue, please rest assured that even if we are caught, we will not tell you about this." Xu Ruoguang promised.
Yue Qiyao nodded and reminded them again: "If you want to enter the Xiang family through the secret passage of the City Lord's Mansion, you must first find a way to enter the City Lord's Mansion. According to the information I have received, there are still several core monks of the family who know about this secret passage in the Xiang family.
However, in the city lord's mansion, only Elder Fang's lineage learned that there was a secret passage leading to the Xiang family in the Dharma Vest Hall. Now most of the deaths and injuries of Elder Fang's lineage were left behind, and the previous marginal disciples were probably not aware of the existence of this secret passage.
Therefore, as long as you can enter the city lord's mansion, it will be easier to do than to be in the Xiang family."
After leaving Jing's house, Gu Xiu asked Xu Ruoguang, "Uncle Xu, do you have a way to take us into the city lord's mansion?"
Forget it, she couldn't get into the city lord's mansion. Xu Ruoguang had already helped this place and was no longer pretentious, so she just asked directly.
Xu Ruoguang looked at her, with stars in his eyes, as if a happy smile hidden among the stars in his eyes.
"Don't worry, I have my own way." He whispered.
When he was about to arrive at the city lord's mansion, Xu Ruoguang argued with Ji Yu and Peng Chang: "Don't go together."
"Why? Xu Ruoguang, do you want to burn the bridge across the river?" Ji Yu shouted.
Xu Ruoguang glanced at him, and Ji Yu hurriedly said, "I know, you are afraid that we will go with you, and there will be danger and will implicate us."
However, no matter what Fellow Daoist Peng, I must go anyway. I have not been to the Mansion of the City Lord of Fancheng, so it is good to go in and see it. What's more, I am also very interested in the secret passage. The most important thing is that I am a little interested in things like heroes saving beauty. Life is too dull. Being a hero who saves beauty must feel very good, so I have to follow this time."
Peng Chang argued: "We are companions, so we must advance and retreat together."
"Since you two have made a decision, no matter what the consequences, you have to bear it yourself." Xu Ruoguang looked at the two and said.
When he was about to arrive at the City Lord's Mansion, Xu Ruoguang sent a message to Sun Wu. After waiting for a while, Sun Wu rushed over quickly. Xu Ruoguang ordered: "You go to the City Lord's Mansion with us, and then tell the reception hall of the City Lord's Mansion that we are the envoys sent to the Shangcheng City Lord's Mansion to condolences."
Sun Wu didn't know what Xu Ruoguang had entered the Mansion of the City Lord of Fancheng. He wanted to ask, but then he shut up again and said, "Mr. Ruoguang's uncle, his disciple has a jade plaque in Shangcheng's disciple stationed in Fancheng. He can be recommended to Master. However, usually the envoys of the City Lord's mansion who come to comfort him must hold a jade slip covered with the seal of the City Lord of Fancheng, so that they can indicate the identity of the envoy."
Xu Ruoguang said: "I naturally know this. You just need to be responsible for introducing us and then bringing us out."
Sun Wu felt that Xu Ruoguang's words were a little strange. Just recommend them to come in. As a disciple who is stationed in Fancheng, he can indeed do this, but he will bring them out. Uncle Ruoguang, Uncle Gu, Uncle Peng, and Senior Ji, their cultivation is much higher than that of him. Can't you recognize the way back after entering? You still need to bring them out by yourself?
Just when Sun Wu thought Xu Ruoguang was talking casually or was wrong, Xu Ruoguang's voice transmission came from his mind. He could guarantee that if he had not been in Fancheng for so many years, if he had not been younger than his age, he would have been younger and he would have been able to remain calm after hearing Xu Ruoguang's explanation.
Fortunately, he stabilized himself and heard Xu Ruoguang's voice transmission continue: "After things are done, there will be rewards."
As soon as he said this, Sun Wu was excited. Even if Xu Ruoguang did not say anything about the reward, since he spoke, the reward would not be enough. He knew that he had heard about the identity of Master Ruoguang in front of him, and his two abilities of refining alchemy and weapon refining.
Just imagine, how can such an elder of the master not expect from the reward he promised?
And in Sun Wu's opinion, a senior like Xu Ruoguang can be convinced by his appearance.
So, although this matter was taken risks, Sun Wu still responded very readily.
Moreover, even if Xu Ruoguang made no promises, as a disciple of the messenger office of Shangcheng stationed in Fancheng, he could not refuse the request of Xu Ruoguang, the uncle of his master.
Sun Wu suddenly remembered something and asked, "Uncle Master, Uncle Master Tang has returned to Shangcheng to report the news. If there is a real messenger of condolences coming at that time, wouldn't it be..." It was a mistake.
He didn't have the nerve to say the last three words, but when Xu Ruoguang heard them, he naturally understood what he was worried about.
He took out a jade slip and said, "Although I don't think the Lord of Shangcheng will send someone to express condolences, you still have someone to respond at the city gate. If the Lord of the City is really sent someone to show them this jade slip, they will naturally know what to do after reading it."
Although Sun Wu wondered why Xu Ruoguang thought that the Lord of Shangcheng would not send people to come? Since he thought that the Lord of Shangcheng would not send people to the Lord of Fancheng, why did he pretend to be a condolence envoy to enter the Lord of the City, he knew in his heart that he was just a low-level disciple. Since uncle Shi had given the order, he had to obey his orders and was not qualified to ask.
When he arrived at the Mansion of the City Lord of Fancheng, Gu Xiu saw that it was indeed as he had heard before. The Mansion of the City Lord of Fancheng had not been repaired yet. Sun Wu introduced: "The Mansion of the City Lord of Fancheng is the most severely damaged place in the whole city. The four main gates in the east, west, south and north have all been destroyed, and more than half of the eighteen side gates have been destroyed. The destroyed side gates have not been repaired yet. There are a large number of disciples of the Mansion guarding them. Therefore, it is impossible to enter there. Although the four main gates have been repaired, judging from this appearance, the formation should not be arranged well. It seems that they cannot enter here."
The main gate of the City Lord’s Mansion is not open on weekdays. It will only open the main gate unless a large-scale formal event is held to welcome visitors from all directions. For example, the Shangcheng City Lord’s Mansion was to hold a birthday banquet for the city lord’s wife, Master Noning, so the four main gates were held on the three days of the birthday banquet.
Now, if it weren't for the nearly half of the side door of the lord's mansion in Fancheng City, Sun Wu wouldn't have mentioned the matter of the main gate.
The group circled around and finally found a perfect side door. A special person was there to receive it. Sun Wu handed over his jade token and said to the disciple of the late Ningxi City Lord's Mansion who was receiving: "We are the envoys sent by the City Lord's Mansion in Shangcheng City. Please ask fellow Taoists to spread it."
The disciples of the City Lord's Mansion in the late stage of Ningxi checked Sun Wu's jade plaque and asked, "Where is the token of the City Lord's Mansion in Shangcheng?"
Gu Xiu and others knew that he was going to see the jade slips with the city lord's seal. Gu Xiu looked at Xu Ruoguang worriedly, but she didn't know how he would deal with it.
