Fairy cage

It was noisy all the way, and Yu Lie led everyone straight towards the location of Yaofangtang.

The thirty or so poisonous Taoist boys not only did not stop beating the gongs and drums because of the conversation between the remaining people, but they even worked harder, playing the flute, trumpet and suona, and singing small tunes and loud tunes!

The other Taoist boys in the alchemy room were also alarmed by the Dukou people, but when they saw that the new hall leader took office, they all suppressed their anger.

And unlike when walking outside the alchemy room, when Yu Lie was walking in the alchemy room, someone would take the initiative to say hello to him after a few steps:

"Fellow Daoist Yu, congratulations!"

"Congratulations to Hall Master Yu, you take office today. Good luck!"

Faces that were either familiar or not very familiar passed by Yu Lie one by one. Yu Lie's face was also full of smiles and he returned the greetings one by one.

When he meets someone with whom he has a slightly better relationship, whether he is a middle-rank Taoist or a lower-ranking Taoist, he will stop and chat with the other person for a few words.

Especially because the Da Dian Soldiers had just ended, there were not many tasks in the alchemy room. Many of the Taoist boys on duty were already idle, and there were many people running around and bustling.

In the past, Yu Lie walked a full two cups of tea before arriving at the door of Yaofang Hall.

By walking so slowly, the entire alchemy room also knew that Yu Lie was imprisoned and was about to take up a post at the Yaofang Hall.

Arriving at the door of the Medicine Hall, the smile on Yu Lie's face suddenly faded, and was replaced by a look of indifference.

Because he has already reached the door, but the medicine hall is still empty. There are only a few scattered people coming in and out of the hall. Some of them are even washing themselves in the pool in front of the hall. Oiled hair.

With such a scene in Yaofangtang, laziness is only secondary.

What's more important is that in such a large hall, not even a single person came to greet Yu Lie. It was a naked show of intimidation!

Yu Lie's face was indifferent. He squinted his eyes and looked at Yaofangtang. Others didn't know what he was thinking.

When Carrot Head and others saw this scene, their expressions were slightly startled, and then they all became furious: "What a thief!"

"My brother Yu is on duty today. How dare you take advantage of this poor place like this?"

Now that Luobotou and the others had the support of Yu Lie and experienced a large number of soldiers, they no longer had the timid and humble temperament they had at the beginning. The impatient ones among them were furious and rushed forward.

Luobotou was the leader. Looking at him, he seemed to want to set the Yaofang Hall on fire.

Of course, they didn't dare to actually set fire to it, but they dared to drag those lazy guys over in front of the hall.

Yu Lie stood on the bluestone road and remained calm, allowing his men to "act as they pleased".

At the same time, although they have already reached the "doorstep", there are still not a few people in the alchemy room who want to come over to meet Yu Lie and become familiar with each other.

Many of the Taoist boys even specially mentioned some thoughts in their hands and planned to give gifts.

But when they saw Yu Lie suddenly stopping in front of the Yaofang Hall, and there was no waiting team in front of the hall, these people who were joining in the fun and giving gifts realized that something was wrong.

"What's going on? Hall Master Yu officially takes office today."

Many people stopped and murmured in a low voice: "There is something fishy, ​​please wait first, lest you go up there and get into trouble if you don't take it easy."

Others also had a look in their eyes as if they were watching a show, feeling a little gloating in their hearts. It's just unclear whether the people they were gloating over were the people in the Medicine Hall or the rest of the group.

It is very convenient to have subordinates to do the work. Yu Lie didn't say a word, but several Taoist boys from the Yaofangtang were dragged over and shouted at him again and again.

At first, these Taoists from the prescription hall were surrounded by strangers, and they were angry and wanted to resist. However, when they turned around and saw two huge vermilion signs saying "Welcome" and "Office", several people They all turned pale and surrendered.

They were dragged in front of Yu Lie by the leader of Carrot Leader. They were so frightened that they didn't know what to say.

What they didn't expect was that Yu Lie, who had an indifferent face at first, softened his expression after seeing them: "Second and third sons, please stop being rude. We may all become colleagues in the future."

Yu Lie let go of the three Taoist boys guarding the door, pointed at the Medicine Hall, and asked:

"Three fellow Taoists, why is the population in the hall so sparse today?"

Among them, the Taoist boy who was washing his hair had disheveled hair. He quickly bowed his waist and answered hastily:

"Reporting to the Hall Master, the instructions above are for tomorrow, which is the day when the Hall Master takes office. I have specially given everyone a day off, so that everyone can go back and take a rest for a day, and pack themselves up so that they can welcome the Hall Master tomorrow."

The other two people were not fools either. They knew that what happened today was a bit strange, so they rushed to add explanations:

"It's Mei Yan from the document mouth, Mei Datou, he said it first."

"Yes, yes, the young ones just listened to the big heads and stayed in the hall to look after the house. If I had known that the hall master would come today..."

After Yu Lie finished listening, a playful smile appeared on his face:

"Oh, so to speak, this Taoist friend Mei just made a mistake about the date when Pindao came out of seclusion."

When the three Taoist boys from the Medicine Hall heard Yu Lie's words, they all looked hesitant, not knowing whether they should nod or shake their heads.

Because the people like Luobotou and others next to Yu Lie were all very arrogant, cursing, "What a shame!"

There was also a tall, fat man with trembling fat who said in a muffled voice:

"Hall Master, Mei Yan, this troubled person, seems to be a blind person at first glance. We will go directly to capture him and make him kneel in front of the Hall Master."

This person is tall, short, fat and thin, one of the four old team members of Yu Lie. His surname is Gao and his name is Pang.

Among the Dadian soldiers this time, Gao Pang had already gone through the transformation of steel and iron bones and was promoted to a mid-level Taoist boy, so when he heard that a mere big head dared to tease Yu Lie like this, he immediately asked for orders.

Moreover, Gao Pang was not the only one among the poisonous mouth people who broke through to the middle position. Luobotou and another poisonous mouth Taoist boy were also promoted. Even the short and thin Taoist boy among the tall, short, fat and thin ones was on the verge of reaching the middle position. position, we are about to break through.

It's a pity that the short and thin Taoist boy has already failed once, and he will probably have to take strong medicine to break through in the future.

The other poisonous mouth Taoists who came down the mountain have also made great progress, and there are many who have digested the changes like wolves and tigers.

Not only Yu Lie's subordinates were like this, but the situation in other halls was actually similar. A major battle caused many Taoist boys in the town to undergo radical changes.

It's just that there are more than a few dead and disabled among them.

Two to three thousand people left the town, but only 800 returned.

The reason why 20 or 30 poisonous Taoist boys came back was because Yu Lie led everyone to avoid danger and made the first pot of gold on the first night down the mountain. Otherwise, it will be a question whether Dukou can come back to ten.

It is precisely because of this - following Yu Lie to have meat to eat, the poisonous Taoist boys, old and young, all obeyed Yu Lie's words, and they felt like they were dominating and humiliating their subjects.

The scolding continued: "Bullshit Yaofangtang, shabby stuff!"

There are currently three poisonous mouth Taoist boys in the middle, and there are a lot of lower-ranking Taoist boys who have digested the second transformation, and there are still more who are waiting in line. They don't take the people of Yaofangtang seriously at all.

However, Yu Lie looked at the panicked Yaofangtang Taoist boy and said with a half-smile:

"I think that fellow Taoist Mei is about to break through to the realm of a high-level Taoist?"

Compared with the transformation of the middle and lower Taoist boys, the middle and upper Taoist boys have not transformed much.

There are only a few people who can be promoted to a high position within a large army.

For example, in the alchemy room, there were originally eight high-level Taoist boys in their 30s and 40s, but after the big army ended, the number of high-level Taoist boys remained unchanged, still only eight.

Among them, Yu Lie killed Fang Lao together with others, and he took the top number. Besides him, another person stood up, and he happened to be someone Yu Lie knew, a road boy.

Therefore, if the Taoist boy named Mei from Yaofangtang was promoted to a high position, it would be impossible for Yu Lie not to know about it. If the opponent is not on the verge of taking over, they won't have the guts to fool Yu Lie.

"Perhaps among the middle-ranking Taoist boys in Yaofang Hall, Mei Yan is not the only one who is on the verge of reaching the top." Yu Lie's eyes were filled with even more amusement.

Although during the Dadian Army period, not many people spent the time cutting off their hair and purging their marrow.

However, after the fight, there were no longer a few middle-ranking Taoist boys who planned to break through after returning to the town.

It can even be said that as long as 70% of the middle-rank Taoist boys who were in the middle position before going down the mountain and returned to the town alive have accumulated enough energy and blood and materials, they can try to cut off the hair and cleanse the marrow!

Of course, whether you have the courage and luck are another matter.

On the way here, Yu Lie also learned from Old Hutou that a month later, the town would hold a meeting to discuss merit and reward.

Because after a month, most of the Taoist boys who returned to the town alive, those who dared to try a breakthrough, had tried it. It would then be convenient for the town to count the achievements of the soldiers.

In front of the prescription hall.

When the three Taoist boys heard Yu Lie's question, they still remained silent and did not dare to speak. Yu Lie glanced at them for a few times, then looked away and stopped scaring these three unfortunates.

Yu Lie chuckled, and said with emotion: "It seems that these fellow Taoists in the Yaofang Hall are very confident, thinking that they can survive the cutting of hair and marrow, and be promoted successfully!"

After saying that, Yu Lie waved his sleeves and strode towards the prescription hall without waiting for anyone else to react.

He also randomly ordered a few Taoist boys and ordered:

"Open the door widely. Today is the day when our hall master takes office. All Taoist friends who come to congratulate us are honored guests and can enter the hall to talk about it."

After walking a few steps, Yu Lie paused, as if remembering something, and then said to the person behind him:

"Ignorance is not a crime. You go and call everyone in the hall, especially those Taoist friends Mei Yan. I have just broken through. I can just communicate with them and give them some experience."

The three Taoist boys in Yaofangtang were a little at a loss, but Luobotou and others immediately shouted: "Here!"

They all grabbed the Taoist boys from the Medicine Hall and followed Yu Lie into the empty Medicine Hall.

After taking the roster, Luobotou and others scattered, and immediately kicked the door to pick up people one by one.

………………

The hall is chaotic.

The Taoist boys in the Yaofang Hall hurriedly learned that Yu Lie was released from prison today and was already sitting in the hall. Most of them were pissed and rushed to the Yaofang Hall.

At the top of the crowd, Yu Lie was sitting on the top spot, while Lao Hutou and others were standing on both sides of him.

The originally empty lobby was already crowded with people, including those from the Yaofang Hall, those from other halls who came to congratulate, and some who came to join in the fun in the name of congratulations.

Some gifts are also piled up.

Old Hutou estimated for Yu Lie that the price of the gifts he received today when he took office was close to 200,000 yuan. And this is still calculated based on current prices, because most gift-givers give medicinal materials, animal materials and other items.

The prices of these raw materials have been low recently. When they return to their original prices, they will probably be worth more than 300,000 yuan.

However, Yu Lie's current thoughts were not on these gifts at all. He looked down at the hall leisurely.

Taoist boys who looked either confused or frightened came into his eyes.

There were about a hundred or so Taoist boys from the prescription hall with different faces and anxious faces.

Suddenly, Yu Lie asked aloud:

"Is everyone here?"

Old Hutou took the roster, immediately took a step closer, and whispered: "Everyone under my command has circulated it, and there are still twenty or thirty people who are either in retreat or away from home and have not come yet."

Old Hutou added: "There are three big heads in the hall, and they are back alive... They all seem to be in seclusion."

Hearing this answer, Yu Lie looked away from everyone in the Yaofang Hall, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said, "In other words, none of them are here."

"In that case." A sneer appeared on Yu Lie's face:

"Whether they are really unlucky or fake, just cross these people off the roster and send them to the Processing Hall later. Keep those who can't be kicked away."

Old Hutou immediately agreed: "Yes."

As the time came and the gifts were almost collected, Yu Lie led his old team to see off the guests.

"Congratulations to Hall Master Yu on taking office."

"Thank you very much, walk slowly."

Amidst the greetings and politeness, the people who came to congratulate him all stood up and became familiar with Yu Lie. Only the Taoist boy in the prescription hall was still holding the batch in the center, being left to dry without even a stool to sit on.

Fortunately, Yu Lie was just opening the door today, not a big banquet guest. He didn't even set up a banquet. Otherwise, these Taoists from Yaofangtang will undoubtedly be even more embarrassed and embarrassed.

The congratulatory outsiders also guessed that Yu Lie was going to clean up the entrance of the hall, so they walked out of the prescription hall and left in different directions without staying any longer.

When everyone finally left, the door of Yaofangtang was about to close, when suddenly another Taoist boy trotted over. When the other party entered the hall, he shouted:

"Palace Master Yu, someone asked me to send you a congratulatory gift."

The visitor attracted Yu Lie's attention, and soon, a gift box appeared in front of Yu Lie.

The Taoist boy who suddenly arrived rubbed his hands and added: "The man said that it would be best for the hall master to open it in private."

Yu Lie raised his eyebrows slightly, and he sent away the Taoist boy who had brought the gift, and then had someone open the gift box.

I saw a roll of something appearing in the box. It was not paper, but sandalwood and silk brocade, exquisite and luxurious.

There were no outsiders in the hall, so Yu Lie simply flicked his sleeves and opened the brocade scroll.

There is no spiritual power fluctuation on the scroll, just a banner.

Sixteen large characters were woven with gold thread and appeared brightly in Yu Lie's eyes:

"Insidious and cunning, he has stolen a high position. He is upright and upright. Do you dare to fight again?"
