Chapter 530 It’s a Quiet Day
It's a quiet day.
The sunlight spread out through the window, with dust particles floating up and down in it. Outside the window, there were the chirping of insects, and in the distance, there was the clear blue sky.
The desk smells like paper.
Chen Huaji woke up from the desk, stretched, looked at the time, and realized that it was still early for his shift to end... He could still take a nap, so he lay down again.
He had made meritorious contributions during his tenure in Southern Xinjiang, and after he was finally transferred back to Hangzhou Prefecture, he was also given a small promotion and salary increase. Although he was still far from being a white-clothed man, he was no longer the kind of black-clothed man who needed to run errands outside.
Instead, they were the civilian Xuanyiwei who were working in the station.
Most people in Chaotianque don't like to work as civil servants, because there are few opportunities to make meritorious contributions and gain experience. So the higher-ups came up with a plan to raise the official titles and salaries of these civil servants by half a level. This was exactly what Chen Huaji wanted, as he liked to seek good fortune and avoid disaster, not to mention the high salary.
He knew very well that the person he should thank most for having the opportunity to sleep in the attic was Taoist Xiao Li.
Today he is no longer the naive Chen Huaji. Now he understands a truth.
Licking is not wrong.
But you have to lick the right person.
If you lick a woman, you may end up with nothing, but if you lick Taoist Xiao Li, you will never go wrong.
It's a pity that Taoist Master Xiao Li has been busy outside recently. I went to Deyun Temple to visit him twice with my own things, but I didn't see him come back. I have to take some time to visit him again in the next two days, give him some fruits, and ask him to lead me to complete the task.
Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard footsteps outside the door, followed by a clang, and the door was roughly pushed open.
"Who let you in? Don't you have an appointment?" Chen Huaji glared at him.
His once excellent sense of crisis has been quickly worn away by office life, and now he will no longer use the escape technique to escape at the first opportunity.
"Don't sleep! Where is the commander? Take me there!" A woman came in. She was tall and had a beautiful face.
It was Li Xinyi, who was also a member of the Xuanyi Guard of Hangzhou Prefecture. Because of Taoist Priest Xiao Li, Chen Huaji was quite familiar with her.
"What's wrong?" Chen Huaji stood up lazily and asked, "I thought the sky was falling..."
"My master received news that Taoist Xiao Li and Abbot Yu had an accident in the Western Regions!"
"What?!" Chen Huaji stood up suddenly.
The sky is really about to fall.
…
It's a quiet day.
The ink is smudged with a layer of white.
The image of a Taoist priest as gentle as jade was about to appear on the paper, but the brush stopped halfway.
The writer is a woman in a plain blue dress. Her thick long hair is casually tied up with a cloth ribbon, revealing a white neck with curves like fine porcelain.
"Alas..." Gongsun Rou sighed softly.
Even if you were the most amazing painter in the world, how could you paint one percent of that person's spirit?
After returning to Beijing from Yuhang County, she rarely interacted with her friends in Beijing. Because she had seen how those people avoided her father when he was down and out, and she realized how fragile the human relationships in this prosperous capital were.
Her father asked an old friend to help her become a disciple of Zhao Xiangji, the best painter in Heluo, so that she could concentrate on learning painting. As the daughter of the top scholar, Gongsun Rou was naturally talented. With the guidance of the famous teacher, her skills improved rapidly, but she still could not paint the face of the man in her mind.
I can’t draw it, but I can’t forget it.
"Oh..." After a moment, she sighed a second time.
A scholar named Lu in Chaoge once said that missing someone is a very mysterious thing, like a shadow, following the body. It is silent and breathless, appearing and disappearing in the heart...
Bang——
Just as she was thinking, an urgent voice interrupted her thoughts. The person pushed open the gate and walked in with big strides.
"Rou'er, something bad has happened!"
Hearing the voice, Gongsun Rou knew who was coming.
The only friend who can now freely enter his backyard is Lu Zhanmei.
This nun had always been famous in the capital, but Gongsun Rou had never met her before. It was only after she returned to Chaoge that she heard that she had been to Hangzhou and met Li Chu. They happened to meet once, so Gongsun Rou chatted with her intentionally or unintentionally.
After a few interactions, the two became friends.
"What's wrong?" Gongsun Rou stood up and looked at Lu Zhanmei who was in a hurry, feeling a little puzzled.
It's rare to see her so anxious.
"I went to the palace to find the princess today, and she told me some news that she heard by chance. Don't be anxious, sit down first..." Lu Zhanmei tried to comfort Gongsun Rou first.
"Hehe, why should I be in such a hurry?" Gongsun Rou sat down and reached out to pour her a cup of tea.
"I heard from the princess that the Imperial Preceptor Li Maoqing rushed into the palace to find Your Majesty early in the morning and said... that a Taoist priest named Li Chu and his master were captured by demons in the Purple Moon Country in the Western Regions and would be killed soon. The Imperial Preceptor seemed to care a lot about that little Taoist priest and wanted to persuade Your Majesty to call on the immortal sects all over the world to help rescue them. Your Majesty is hesitating..."
Gongsun Rou blinked, her expression didn't seem to change, but the teapot in her hand fell off somehow.
Snap——
…
It's a quiet day.
There is a newly erected forest of steles in the Broken Steles Valley, and a huge figure is sitting here in a daze.
At this time, a man with a square head and small eyes came over and asked, "It's been so long, are you still sad about your elephants?"
"You don't understand. In your eyes, they are elephants, but in my eyes, they are all my good friends." The huge figure replied.
The man was none other than Long Gang, the number one killer in Broken Monument Valley whom Li Chu had met several times before. He had a very bad reputation.
The huge figure was Long Gang's good friend, who was usually a peaceful person and just liked to raise a few elephants.
Unfortunately, when Broken Stele Mountain was destroyed that day, he did not have time to take the elephants with him when he escaped, so he could only put up a few steles here to commemorate him.
"I'm here to tell you some big news." Long Gang said quietly, "I heard that... Taoist Xiao Li and his master got into trouble in the Western Regions, and the boss is hesitating whether to gather all the troops and go over to attack them."
"Master Xiao Li has been very kind to my Broken Monument Valley. Naturally, I will help him if he gets into trouble..." said the huge figure.
"What I mean is that the boss is hesitating whether to gather all his men and attack, or to take Qilin with him..." Long Gang explained.
"I see..." The huge figure suddenly realized, "Come to think of it, if even Taoist Xiao Li can't solve this problem, our ordinary cultivation level will be of no use..."
"This matter is a secret now, don't tell anyone." Long Gang said, "The boss is worried that some of the brothers with quick tempers will definitely follow him, so he told me not to tell anyone else."
"I told you not to spread it..." The huge figure blinked, "Then I think I understand what the boss is thinking..."
…
It's a quiet day.
Li Chu walked on the streets of the royal city with his hands in his sleeves.
He had just entered the palace and failed to save his master. It seemed that his master had been rescued by someone, so he came out.
But after coming out, he was a little confused.
Why……
All the monsters in the city are saying that I’m going to die?
We need to make sure all the characters who have appeared before come back to make themselves familiar to the audience.
