Chapter 050 Wrong Application

Wang Yu glanced at the group of people around him in confusion, and his hand unconsciously placed on the hilt of the sword.

"...In short, the Grand Master has created an extremely special procedure that conducts large-scale screening of people entering the city every day, with no exceptions."

Bai Tanggao smiled and opened his arms. This was the boundary between the city walls, and was most of the time called the outer city.

"That's where we in Nanzhou call it the 'security check belt', and it's fully automated!"

Wang Yu frowned.

Was that just now an illusion?

He couldn't help but glance around. The people around him were listening to the explanation of Baitanggao attentively. Some were secretly surprised, while others turned their heads away in disdain. Everyone had different emotions, but none of them reacted like him.

No one seemed to hear the strange sound.

Bai Tanggao continued speaking.

"What happens in the security zone? I'll show you!"

Bai Tanggao reached out and pulled out something from Youzhagui's boots. It was a thin blade, but it shone sharply under the light. He turned his back and showed it.

But soon, one could see with the naked eye that a thin layer of symbolic code was rapidly forming on the blade, which was a combination of 0 and 1.

Some newcomers to the city couldn't help but exclaim in amazement at this miracle.

Baitanggao also turned his back to Wang Yu and rubbed it vigorously with his fingertips.

Now many newcomers in the crowd started to try it themselves, while some people who had been here many times couldn't help but raise their heads proudly, as if they had seen a lot of the world.

Wang Yu blinked in confusion and tried to lean over to take a look out of curiosity.

What? What?

Is there some magic trick that the white sugar cake has done?

Youzhagui silently held down Wang Yu's hand.

Wang Yu turned his head in confusion and asked, "What's going on?"

Youzhagui leaned over and said, "Master Yu, we are doing this to reassure them. We don't want to trick them. Our people will be watching them secretly. We have some tricks up our sleeves."

They didn't dare let this ancestor take action, so they naturally heard a lot about the deeds of Master Yu along the way.

Sui Niang believes that Wang Yu is extremely powerful, but there are some problems with the way he views the world.

The nun explained that Brother Wang had a minor brain disease, but it did not affect his ability to travel the world at all.

Taking into account the fried dough sticks, sugar cakes and Wen Shu, it can be seen that Wang Yu has a special ability. As long as he determines what the thing is like, it will go as he wishes.

For a specific example, refer to a ghost who was about to transform into a ghost but was killed by Wang Yu by slitting his throat.

It’s really a weird world that also has its own concept of God!

Wang Yu suddenly realized.

He thought, as Youzhagui said, it was the Jinyiwei who were watching and identifying the evil people in secret.

The purpose of not making it public was just to maintain the reputation of a trading capital and not scare away the merchants, so the lie was made up.

Otherwise, why would dignitaries have to get off their carriages and come here?

Hero Yu had sharp eyes, so he could easily see those people who were separated in another path. They were all dressed in gorgeous clothes and had groups of servants.

As for the furry little tricks, they were probably inconvenient to tell outsiders, and he could understand that.

Bai Tanggao turned his back and gave a thumbs up.

Indicates that it is feasible.

"They're lying to you!"

“——”

Wang Yu was stunned. What sound?

He once again glanced at the people around him with a strange expression.

Wang Yu became absent-minded and had no intention of watching Bai Tanggao's magic trick.

Until the moment I followed the crowd into the city gate.

The swordsman's whole body tensed up for a moment, and he couldn't help but stop and look back.

The city gate was tall and wide, and people in cloth clothes were pouring out in groups, either alone with their luggage or with their families.

Just now, what was that?

Why did he feel like he was passing through something?

"The host passed through Yujing's firewall!"

"…What, things?"

Sui Niang, who had sharp ears, heard the taciturn swordsman talking and turned her head to look.

The swordsman, who usually maintained a calm expression, suddenly stood there with a frown on his face, with a few people behind him who were trying to enter the city urging him.

Wang Yu came to his senses and hurried to catch up with the team.

Sui Niang asked curiously: "Why did it stop there? What happened?"

Wang Yu answered in distress, "I heard a strange sound."

Weird sound?

Sui Niang's eyes widened.

Does this mean that his hysteria has worsened?

She thought for a long time and consoled him, "You may have heard wrongly. How about taking one of the nun's secret pills? She said it's very sweet this time."

Wang Yu was speechless. He was not sick. The ones who should take medicine were Sui Niang and the nun.

He thought silently.

Wang Yu followed the team for a while and did not hear the voice again.

He breathed a sigh of relief. Maybe he was tired from traveling. It’s not strange for ordinary people to hear strange noises occasionally, right?

He followed the team with his sword in hand.

Now I should hurry to Jinyiwei to find my brother!

***

"Um...I'm so sorry."

The Jinyiwei in front of him, wearing a Feiyu suit, was full of apology. He said in embarrassment: "Brother, it's not that we don't want to help you! It's just that Hua Tuo is really not in the city."

"They're lying to you!"

Jinyiwei's face was still guilty, and he seemed to be observing himself carefully.

Wang Yu pursed his lips.

Here it comes again. Every time the Jinyiwei speaks, they have to repeat "They are lying to you".

What is speaking?

"Hello host, I am your system."

System, what is this?

Wang Yu was stunned.

"…….Do you understand?"

Jin Yiwei couldn't help but raise his voice: "Brother? Brother? Are you listening?"

Wang Yu raised his eyes and replied smoothly, "I'm here, I understand."

Do you really understand?

The Jinyiwei looked at Wang Yu weakly and couldn't help but glance at Baitanggao as if seeking confirmation. Baitanggao spread his hands in surprise, indicating that he didn't know either.

The Jinyiwei held his breath and continued to explain the cause and effect of the matter to Wang Yu again.

No! He must make it clear to him!

Bai Tanggao, who was watching, touched his chin in confusion.

This shouldn't be the case. He has been chasing from the north state to the south state. His brother's news is so close, why does he look so confused? Is he the type who gets homesick easily?

Then, Bai Tanggao watched with a twitching mouth as the Jinyiwei repeated Hua Tuo's whereabouts nearly a dozen times, and they were just short of writing a big announcement to the whole city.

He was afraid that Wang Yu didn't know the truth and wouldn't chase him out, so he also emphasized that Hua Tuo's mission would take a long time and he would not be able to see him until a long time later.

The boss's trap of getting people to do things is really...

On the way back, the boy holding the sword was still absent-minded.

"What's wrong?" Bai Tanggao asked worriedly.

The swordsman was silent for a long time.

He suddenly asked, "What would you do if you had a strange voice in your head?"

“…”

"ah?"

Bai Tanggao looked dazed.

***

Wang Yu returned to the inn and was fed pills again.

This time the swordsman did not resist and ate one. It was indeed very sweet.

That voice is said to be his belated golden finger, which only serves him and has the ability to identify things, and its specialty is identifying lies.

Wang Yu, however, felt that this was like a disease.

The nun asked Wang Yujie about the situation and he told her the truth. The nun immediately showed an expression that said nothing was wrong, but then she couldn't help but feel helpless and warned him, "Friend Wang, don't be afraid to see a doctor next time!"

Wang Yu felt a little guilty and ashamed.

He actually always felt that he was very healthy all this time!

He was sorry for the nun! He was sorry for Sui Niang! It turned out that all three of them...

He reflected.

The candlelight emitted a warm light.

This is how I spent the first day in the capital of Nanzhou, feeling somewhat panic-stricken.

It was already night, and Wang Yu tossed and turned, still unable to fall asleep. As soon as he closed his eyes, he could not help but recall the scenes of the day.

“…”

"Creaky——" The door was closed from the outside.

There is a night market in Yujing, which is brightly lit all year round and very bustling. There are people everywhere, crowds of people, all kinds of sounds mixed together, bursts of fragrance wafting in the air, and the vigorous shouts of the vendors.

The whole city is filled with the smell of fireworks.

Wang Yu's curious eyes lingered on the lights on the stall. Along the way, he saw many people buying these lights and leaving.

The stall owner noticed Wang Yu's interest and said with a smile, "Sir, would you like to buy a lantern? This is a sky lantern from Nanzhou. It can fly in the sky when it is lit! This thing is only available in Nanzhou. You can buy one and go back to the school to ask the students to write some auspicious words on it."

"After some time, we will release them during the Sky Lantern Festival. At that time, all the people in the city will release sky lanterns and pray for the protection of the national master."

"That scene is truly a beautiful sight you will never forget in your lifetime," the stall owner said enthusiastically, "You'd better stay a little longer, stay for a dozen days. The Sky Lantern Festival is a big festival in Yujing, and many shops are offering discounts! There are also many activities, it would be a pity to miss it!"

"He's not lying to you."

That voice came out again.

Wang Yu silently withdrew his hand from the hilt of the sword.

He was still not used to this sudden sound.

But since it's an illness, it's not surprising that it causes such trouble. It's very common and normal.

When the stall owner saw that Wang Yu bought a lantern, he became more enthusiastic and told Wang Yu where he could go to light up the lantern in advance to test it out. He was not allowed to light up lanterns randomly in the city, otherwise he would be fined.

Wang Yu ate something, then walked and stopped on the road, bought a cup of tea, and strolled over lazily.

Joyful laughter echoed through the city alleys, under the warm light of rows of lanterns.

There weren't many people where the lanterns were placed.

When you get closer, you can look up and see scattered lights rising towards the sky. Under the dark night, they look like a few twinkling stars.

Wang Yu found a seat.

The first time I tinkered with this lamp, I felt a little uncomfortable.

"Oh no! You don't have to be so careful. This paper is specially made. It won't burn!"

A childish voice sounded, Wang Yu looked down and saw a child about twelve or thirteen years old trying to guide him.

The child really couldn't stand his clumsy movements, and finally snatched the lamp from his hand and lit it himself.

"You?" Wang Yu looked hesitant.

The child puffed out his chest, proudly handed the lighted lamp back to him, and waved his hand: "You're welcome!"

Wang Yu was amused by her little appearance and invited her, "Let's play together?"

The child raised an eyebrow: "You are very smart! Come on! Let's set it off together!"

He and the child held their breath and carefully loosened their hands. The sky lantern with no words written on it rose smoothly and calmly into the sky.

"You, alone?" Wang Yu asked, staring at the slow-moving light.

"Hey, my teacher took me out to play, but he had to run errands halfway through." The child also stared at the light, sighed maturely, and commented in a condescending manner: "Busy, everyone is busy, it's better to be busy!"

Then he said angrily: "My lamp is still in the teacher's hand. I have been drawing it for a long time!"

She said angrily: "If the teacher dares to stand me up, I will never talk to him again!"

"...Then I'll leave?" A tired voice suddenly came out, with a tone of intimacy and teasing.

The child was startled and jumped up instantly: "Teacher!"

The man was dressed in a black robe, walking out from the crowd, holding a lamp in his hand, with gentle eyes and brows.

The child suddenly rushed towards his teacher and took the sky lantern from his hand.

A tiger was painted in ink on the lamp, but it was fat and plump. Compared with the serious painting style, this style subtly reminded Wang Yu of reviewing his studies.

Both paintings are in the same style.

Wang Yu's expression gradually became strange.

"Please, brother, please accompany this child. She has been feeling depressed for a long time." The teacher walked up to Wang Yu and said with a smile.

"No trouble." Wang Yu shook his head when he heard that.

The child took the lamp and lit it carefully. The light of the lamp fell into her eyes, which were full of anticipation. She held the lamp, waiting for the opportunity to release it.

Wang Yu turned his head and glanced at the man standing beside him, calmly watching the child light the lamp. There was some curiosity in his voice, and he whispered, "Specially, looking for me?"

The man's gentle smile froze: "You? What's wrong with you? Have you seen me? Do you know me?"

Wang Yu looked at the man deeply.

As soon as he saw these two people, hysteria broke out in his mind. He pointed at one and said that he had detected the "Emperor of the Southern Dynasty", and said that he had detected the "Imperial Master of the Southern Dynasty" in the other.

This is the reaction again when I apply for the wrong job.

It is really difficult for him not to recognize that he has made a mistake.
