Laughing at Chang'an

On March 24th, Danfeng Road in Nancheng was extremely lively.

The task issuer Li Shenchi did not show up, and Feng He, who was guarding Yang Martian's coffin instead, became the source of everyone's confidence.Although the guild had already issued an announcement, under such circumstances, Feng He couldn't turn off the protective shield, so he could only continue to burn a lot of source crystals.

The three of Luo Jianjian managed to find a seat on a nearby roof. Jack suggested that they might as well go back tonight and come back early tomorrow morning, as long as they can make it in time for the funeral.But that being said, no one knows when Li Shen will come. It is impossible for such a messy group of people to follow the coffin tomorrow. It must be arranged in advance... If the arrangement is missed, the team will Without a seat, wouldn't it be useless to come tomorrow?

Luo Jianjian didn't move, Lei Zi didn't move, even Jack who was talking didn't move, just stood there for a while, I don't know how many times I have encountered this uncomfortable situation when doing tasks, and I'm used to it.The three of them stood from afternoon to evening, the sun was setting, and Li Shen still didn't show up. Fortunately, they still had the dry food and drinking water they had prepared for the mission, so they wouldn't wait hungry.

The setting sun gradually sinks into the horizon.

There was a buzzing sound, and Luo Jianjian took out the communicator in his pocket. It was an unfamiliar number. He connected it to his ear and gave a hello.

"Excuse me, is it Luo Jianjian?" A strange male voice sounded from the communicator.

Luo firmly said: "I am."

"Are Jack and Lei Hao by your side?" the other party asked again.

Could the caller be looking at him somewhere?Luo Jianjian raised his head and looked around, and said in his mouth, "Yes, what's the matter with you?"

"Hehe." The person on the communication side smiled and said, "Please come to the east entrance, my car is parked here, it is a black Wei Wu, the license plate number is [-], my Lord Shen has Please meet the three of you."

Lord Shen?Li Shen?Luo Jianjian was puzzled, and he waited to ask again, but the other party had already hung up the phone.He put down the communicator, thought for a moment with a complicated expression, reached out and patted Lei Zi and Jack, winked at them, and squeezed out first.When there was no one there, he explained the phone call just now to the two of them. The three of them together decided to believe it or not, and go to the east entrance to have a look.

So to the east entrance.

A black Wei Wu was parked quietly on the side of the street. Luo Jianjian checked the license plate number and walked over to open the door. He glanced inside and saw a young man he didn't know sitting in the driver's seat, grinning at him smile.

"Please get in the car."

Luo Jian sat in the passenger seat, Jack and Lei Zi sat in the back row, the young man started the car, drove out of the east entrance, and headed north.In the car, Luo Jian insisted on asking, but the other party just deduced that you would know later, and refused to say more.The car drove quickly through the street, and soon arrived at Dongyangji, went around and entered a small courtyard.

This is the backyard of a shop. The young man got out of the car with three people, walked into a nearby warehouse, and went all the way to the deepest point. He lifted the thick canvas covering the ground, moved the box, and opened a secret passage.

Luo Jianjian showed hesitation, and looked at the thoughtful Jack. Both of them were a little uneasy. They just went to see Li Shen. What are they doing so secretly... Something is wrong with this.

"please."

The young man gestured to them to come in, Lei Zi carelessly wanted to go in, but Luo Jian firmly held him back.

"What exactly do you want to do?" he asked the young man, "Let's go to see Li Shen, don't we need to go through the secret passage?"

The young man said with a smile: "This arrangement is just to avoid people's eyes and ears, and it's definitely not intended to be unfavorable to a few of you. Please rest assured, Master Shen is waiting for you over there."

"How can we trust you with your empty words?" Jack sneered, "God knows what's behind that secret passage, the idiot..."

The voice stopped abruptly, no one could see what was going on, and Jack, who was talking, suddenly fell backwards.A young man who appeared behind him at some point reached out to catch him, and said to Luo Jianjian and Lei Zi who were angry, "Please leave, don't make my father wait too long."

Luo firmly pressed down on Lei Zi who was about to strike. This young man's skill is at least immortal. If he can bring Jack down in one fell swoop, the two of them together are no match for him.He dragged the reluctant Leizi into the secret passage, and walked down the steps step by step. After a while, the young man also carried Jack down, closed the secret passage door, and walked forward with a flashlight to guide them.

After walking for about ten minutes, the young man stopped, stretched out his hand and pressed on the wall, and a secret door appeared on the wall, and slowly opened to the side.After exiting the secret passage, there was a room outside, which looked like a utility room. Luo firmly walked to the door hesitantly, and pushed the door open.

The whole courtyard is full of sweet-scented osmanthus.

Walking along the veranda into the backyard, I saw a person kneeling on the ground in the distance, with his head drooping, looking listless.When the young man leading the way saw this person, he stopped and said, "Master Bao, I brought him here."

The guy called Master Bao suddenly raised his head, raised a finger to his lips, and hissed.Then he waved his hand at the young man, pointed to Luo Jian and the three of them, and told them to come closer.

"Cough." The adjutant kneeling on the ground cleared his throat and said, "I am Lord Shen's adjutant, and my name is Liu Abao. You can just call me Old Liu. Lord Shen is busy now, so you just wait here. What's wrong?" It's clear, you can ask me."

While he was talking, the door of the small courtyard in front of him was pushed open, and Li Shen, who was wearing a plain white filial robe, appeared at the door. He looked sideways at the door and said, "Don't go tomorrow, there are too many people. , I can't take care of you... If you really have a heart, I will take you to Zhuxiang on Danfeng Road at night."

The voice of the people inside the door was very soft, and they couldn't hear what they said clearly, so they saw Li Shen nodded and said hello.

Then he closed the door and turned around.

Luo Jianjian was no stranger to Li Shen's appearance. He had seen him countless times in newspapers, and had seen the real person from afar in Yan Poyuan.For a big man like the other party, he knew that he couldn't climb high, and he never thought about dealing with him. If you want to say that the only connection between them is his brother Luo Jianqiang.

So Luo Jianjian had no idea why the other party came to him.

Li Shen glanced over the faces of the three of them one by one, then pressed his hand very naturally, and said, "Sit down."

...where to sit?

Luo Jianjian and the others watched Li Shen sit down on the stone steps in front of the courtyard with great enthusiasm, and could only silently follow him to sit on the ground, before his buttocks sat still, he heard Li Shen say: "I want to ask you for a favor. "

This sounds really fresh, Li Shen, a majestic Gengjun, wants to ask a few of them for help, Luo Jianjian basks in his heart, looking at the face of the other party who can't tell what he is thinking, and does not deny that he is aroused A little curious.

And Li Shen didn't go around in circles with them, but said bluntly: "I want you to help me tell a lie."

"Let's say that you have learned the Yang family's Ascension to Immortal Method, the effect is extraordinary, and your cultivation is advancing day by day... Well, the first half of the sentence is false, and the second half is true, that's all."

Luo firmly widened his eyes.

"I have prepared the corresponding high-grade ascending immortal method for you, as long as I promise to help you, I will hand it over to you. Of course, it is not that simple. Someone will definitely ask you about Yang's ascending immortal method, so in the next period of time, You all have to follow my orders."

Li Shen smiled.

"If you want to have skills, if you want money, if you want to get ahead, you can arrange it for you, but if you don't want to agree, I can only ask you to die."

………………

He asked the adjutant to take the three of them to the study to explain the specific matters, and when they left, Li Shen stood up, pushed open the small courtyard door, and called Haitang inside.

"Abao has been kneeling for a whole day, so you can relieve him." He rushed out and said to Haitang, "He just wants to rescue me, and he has no evil intentions..."

In front of Geng Yan yesterday, the adjutant lied to him that Haitang was looking for him because he saw something was wrong and wanted to find an excuse for him to run away.However, when Li Shen came back to see Haitang and told her about this, Haitang, who had never cared about these trivial matters, became furious, called the adjutant, and made the other party kneel involuntarily with a simple "kneeling" until now.

"It's a big taboo for a slave to lie to his master. The more you trust him, the more you can't take it lightly." Haitang's voice was light, but her tone was undeniable, "He will be able to get up after kneeling for another two or three hours, you don't have to worry about it."

Li Shen hesitated to speak, he didn't regard the adjutant as a slave, and he didn't really like the idea of ​​superiority and inferiority, but this didn't make sense with Haitang, the two people's views on this aspect were too far apart.

"The three people just now, I can plant a hint for them." Haitang walked up to Li Shen, looking at him with a hint of worry in her eyes, and said quietly, "People's hearts are fickle, life and death are critical, they may not be able to keep it safe The secret, when the time comes, will make you fall short."

Li Shen shook his head.

"It's just a gamble, and I'm not obsessed with the result."

As he spoke, he raised his head and looked at the sky that had been shrouded in night.

"It depends on God, whether I want to win or lose."

………………

On the rooftop above the 69th floor of the Gengjun Guild Hall, Geng Yan was also looking up at the night sky.

The long-lost night sky is full of stars, like eyes, watching this ever-changing world.

There is an arc moon in the sky.

It's funny to say that sometimes, he would feel that all this is like an illusion, that it is all unreal bubbles.To him, Li Shen was like that crescent moon, everywhere but untouchable.

Then, he would be amused by himself thinking so again.

Geng Yan took out a pocket watch from his bosom, the pattern on the watch was quite old, and the pointer inside was still motionless, as if it was broken.He rubbed the dial lightly with his fingertips, and watched it melt into fine crumbs in his palm, covering his palm.

The night wind rises.

Geng Yan closed his eyes, gave up everything, and passed by.
