Chapter 141 The Three Swordsmen of Zhongzhou Sneak Into the Imperial City Tianshi Mansion

Yuxu Mountain, outside the mountain gate.

"It's strange. Isn't it just to send a greeting message? Why has the female cultivator from Yuxu Mountain been gone for so long?"

King Meow Meow stood on Yi Hanqing's shoulder and licked his paws boredly.

One stick of incense, they have been waiting here for a full stick of incense.

Logically speaking, the female disciples of Yuxu Mountain should have told the headmaster of Yuxu Mountain about their situation.

As a result, they waited until now and still haven't seen anyone come back.

And just when King Meow Meow was so impatient that he wanted to enter Yuxu Mountain by himself.

A figure flew towards them.

When they saw each other's appearance, both sides were stunned.

Because the person who suddenly appeared was none other than Shangguan Yunmeng.

Shangguan Yunmeng looked at Lu Chen and others who appeared in front of him, his clear eyes filled with doubts.

suspect? Could it be that I flew to Qingyun Sect?

Otherwise, how could I meet a disciple of Qingyun Sect?

King Meow Meow looked at the astonished Shangguan Yunmeng and said subconsciously: "Did the headmaster of Yuxu Mountain ask you to come directly to find us?"

Shangguan Yunmeng was stunned and didn't know how to answer.

Because she just wanted to ask Master for some snacks.

Unexpectedly, I flew here.

In addition, Shangguan Yunmeng was not sure whether her master had given her an order to meet Lu Chen and others, so she chose to remain silent.

And this silence fell into the eyes of Meow Meow King, Lu Chen and others, and it was undoubtedly acquiescence.

After all, there is no such thing as a coincidence. Not long after they sent out the invitations, Shangguan Yunmeng came over.

This must be the arrangement of Master Yuxu Mountain!

King Meow Meow looked at Lu Chen and said, "Here, Junior Brother Lu, someone has already appeared here. If you have anything to do with her, just tell her directly."

Hearing this, Shangguan Yunmeng looked at Lu Chen curiously.

After all, besides her, she is the second person who can come into contact with the fairy sister.

Shangguan Yunmeng’s memory is still fresh.

After she finished her discussion in Qingyun Sect, she wanted to ask Lu Chen about the situation of the fairy sister.

As a result, Lu Chen didn't see anyone at that time because she was busy breaking through the foundation building stage.

Seeing Lu Chen come to see him now, Shangguan Yunmeng felt that the other party wanted to ask about the fairy sister.

But what Lu Chen said next was beyond Shangguan Yunmeng's expectations.

"Fellow Daoist Shangguan, I heard that you were originally a princess of the Great Wei Dynasty, and the Great Wei Dynasty was adjacent to the Great Yan Dynasty."

"I wonder how much you know about the Great Yan Dynasty?"

Shangguan Yunmeng thought for a moment, and then said seriously: "Roast duck!"

Lu Chen: "???"

Shangguan Yunmeng saw that Lu Chen didn't understand, and emphasized: "I know that the roast duck of the Great Yan Dynasty is delicious."

As he spoke, Shangguan Yunmeng seemed to have thought of that scene, and couldn't help but sigh.

In response, Lu Chen touched his forehead speechlessly.

Although he knew that Shangguan Yunmeng was a foodie, he didn't expect that Shangguan Yunmeng could be such a foodie.

Is it the roast duck I asked?

There was no other way, so Lu Chen had no choice but to say patiently, "Besides the roast duck, do you know anything else about the Great Yan Dynasty?"

After hearing this, Shangguan Yunmeng thought for a moment and said, "Their ministers are all weird."

"Um?"

Lu Chen was stunned because he instinctively felt that Shangguan Yunmeng's words must contain some important information.

"Can you tell me what's strange?"

Shangguan Yunmeng shook his head and said: "I can't tell, but when I was a child, I met several ministers from the Great Yan Dynasty. I don't know why, but the aura on their bodies made me very uncomfortable."

After hearing these words, Lu Chen immediately fell into deep thought.

Although Yi Hanqing and King Mingmiao on the side did not know what was in the Great Yan Dynasty.

But they instinctively felt that what Junior Brother Lu wanted to do might be related to the royal family of the Great Yan Dynasty.

After Lu Chen finished thinking, he bowed to Shangguan Yunmeng and said, "Thank you, fellow Taoist, for clarifying my doubts. I have other things to do right now, so I'll say goodbye."

Seeing that Lu Chen and others were about to leave, Shangguan Yunmeng subconsciously asked: "Are you going to the Great Yan Dynasty?"

Before Lu Chen could answer, Mew Meow King on the side said, "Yes, why, you want to go with us too?"

Shangguan Yunmeng's eyes lit up and he said seriously: "I happen to be going to the Great Yan Dynasty, so I'm on my way."

Although Shangguan Yunmeng said it very seriously, Lu Chen always felt that it didn't seem like she was telling the truth.

This girl probably wants to eat the roast duck from the Great Yan Dynasty.

However, if Shangguan Yunmeng, the saint of Yuxu Mountain, accompanied them, their actions in the Great Yan Dynasty might go much smoother.

Thinking of this, Lu Chen asked, "Do you really want to go with us?"

Shangguan Yunmeng nodded hurriedly, saying that he had to go.

After weighing the pros and cons, Lu Chen finally agreed to Shangguan Yunmeng's request.

Because she, the saint of Yuxu Mountain, is here, even if they cause any trouble in the Great Yan Dynasty later.

The other party can also explain it to them without causing too much misunderstanding in Yuxu Mountain.

"Okay, let's set off now."

"good!"

Shangguan Yunmeng raised his hands happily, looking impatient.

As for why she was in such a hurry to go to the Great Yan Dynasty, it was self-evident.

Not long after Lu Chen and others left, the female disciple of Yuxu Mountain who had received Lu Chen and others before returned to the mountain gate.

She looked at the empty mountain gate and said with some confusion: "It's strange, I didn't find Senior Sister Shangguan, and those Qingyun Sect disciples were also missing. Could it be that they guessed in advance that the master didn't want them to see Junior Sister Shangguan, so they took the first step left?"

"Forget it, don't think about this anymore."

"After the shift changes in a while, I will look around the sect to see where Senior Sister Shangguan has gone."

"I think she just got lost again..."

Dayan Dynasty, Imperial City.

"Your Highness Princess...are you looking for me?"

Lan Yan looked at the sixteen-year-old Ji Ling'er who was curled up on the bed, half-kneeling on the floor of the palace, and asked respectfully.

Hearing Lan Yan's words, Ji Ling'er immediately opened the curtains and stuck her head out.

She looked around nervously, as if to make sure there was no scary thing around, and then whispered to Lan Yan: "Xiaoyan, my father still hasn't agreed to let the heavenly master come to my place to exorcise ghosts?"

Hearing that Ji Ling'er started talking nonsense again, Lan Yan, as her personal maid, said helplessly: "Your Highness, this is my palace in Dayan Imperial City."

"Not to mention that the Imperial Master and his Celestial Masters are also in the palace. Even without them, the palace is the place where the dynasty's dragons are located. Ordinary monsters and demons would not dare to rely on this place at will."

"Your Highness, the ghosts you said you saw here before are probably just small animals passing by late at night."

"Besides, even if you don't believe what I say, your Highness, you should also believe what the Imperial Master says, right?"

"After all, the Imperial Master personally told His Highness a few days ago that there is no dirt in the palace, so Your Highness doesn't have to worry too much."

Although Lan Yan had already said this, Ji Ling'er was still a little worried and said, "But I feel like it's not an illusion. I really feel that something is always watching the palace."

"Especially late at night, I can feel the feeling of being watched, which is particularly strong."

"Xiaolan, believe me, I'm really not joking, there are really dirty things in the palace!"

"Why don't you go to Tianshi Mansion again? I feel that weird gaze is getting stronger and stronger these days, as if something is getting closer to me."

"And Xiao Lan, have you noticed that the new Celestial Master who came recently is different from the previous ones."

"Do you think they are really immortals from Yuxu Mountain?"

Hearing Ji Ling'er's words, Lan Yan's expression changed instantly.

Then she stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, there are certain things you must not say nonsense. Be careful that walls have ears."

"ah?!"

Ji Ling'er seemed not to have expected Lan Yan to have such a big reaction.

So she subconsciously lowered her voice and said, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with what I just said?"

Lan Yan thought for a moment and said with a serious face: "Your Highness, the matters of immortals are not something that we mortals can discuss at will."

"Besides, even His Majesty and the Imperial Advisor have not doubted their identity. Your Highness must never say that again."

After saying that, Lan Yan didn't know what she thought of, and added: "Your Highness, you'd better have a good rest. Maybe you won't think so much after a sleep."

"Okay, okay."

Although Ji Ling'er still had a lot to say, Lan Yan had already said it for this reason, so it was hard for her to say anything more.

"Then, Your Highness, you have a good rest. My slave, I will be guarding the door. If you need anything, call me. Don't worry, there will definitely be no danger in the imperial city."

"Okay, okay."

After saying that, Ji Ling'er hurriedly returned to her bed and wrapped her head directly with the quilt. She was obviously very scared of the surrounding environment.

Seeing this scene, Lan Yan could only look at her deeply, and then exited the palace.

After she left, Ji Ling'er felt chilly all over.

It was as if something had entered his room.

Because of fear, Ji Ling'er finally chose to be an ostrich and did not dare to stick her head out from the bed.

At the same time, in a picture that ordinary people cannot see.

A huge shadow shrouded the sky over the Great Yan Imperial City.

The phantom was very strange. The upper body was that of a woman with a holy face, but the lower body was in the shape of a strange skull, without any flesh and blood.

And in this hollow abdomen, it is directly banned by a holy baby.

The baby was sitting on the belly of the strange shadow, just like a Buddha sitting on a lotus platform.

If Lu Chen were here, he would definitely see the origin of this phantom.

Because the appearance of this phantom is exactly the same as the Great Merciful and Compassionate Black Lotus Buddha enshrined by the Black Lotus Sect.

The phantom of the Buddha Mother appears in the sky above the Imperial City. This is not a good sign no matter how you look at it.

Because this shows that someone in the Great Yan Palace has already made contact with the Buddha Mother.

And all the immortals and Buddhas in the sky seem to be unaware of this for the time being...

Dayan Dynasty, imperial city, market.

"Shaobing, excellent Shaobing!"

"Roast duck, the most famous roast duck in the Imperial City, come and have a look!"

"Friend Lu Dao, I want to eat this!"

Shangguan Yunmeng looked at the fragrant Imperial City roast duck not far away, his eyes almost shining.

In fact, let alone her, even the Meow Meow King was so greedy that he was drooling.

But because Lu Chen had warned them before coming here that they would keep a low profile during this trip.

Therefore, if it is not necessary for Mew Meow King, it is best not to speak casually to avoid attracting unnecessary attention.

King Meow Meow looked at Yi Hanqing eagerly and motioned for him to buy one for him.

But before Yi Hanqing could make any move, Shangguan Yunmeng ran over first.

"Boss, I want all your roast ducks!"

"This gold is for you, no need to change."

"Ah?!"

Shangguan Yunmeng directly put a piece of gold on the boss's stall, indicating that she had bought all the roast ducks.

And the gold given to her was not enough to buy the ten roast ducks on the stall.

Even if the number doubled, it would be more than enough.

"Girl, you are generous, take care!"

The owner of the roast duck stall cried with joy when he saw Shangguan Yunmeng leaving with ten bags of roast duck.

A noble man, he had met a noble man!

Just this business order could allow him to rest for half a year.

Not long after Shangguan Yunmeng left, a woman wearing a veil came to the roast duck stall.

Looking at the boss who had already started to pack up, Lan Yan said in confusion: "Shopkeeper, why are you packing up so early today?"

Hearing this, the boss immediately raised his head.

After seeing that the other party was his "old acquaintance", the boss said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Miss Lan, a little girl bought all the roast ducks on my stall this morning, and I have no stock to sell to you."

"Why don't you go to other places in the imperial city? After all, I am not the only old man selling roast duck in the imperial city."

"No, my family...my young lady only likes to eat your roast duck, so will you set up a stall here tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow? I won't set up a stall tomorrow. After all, this order today is enough for me to rest for a long time. Sorry, girl."

Hearing the boss's words, Lan Yan suddenly felt a headache.

If she fails to bring back His Highness' favorite roast duck this time, His Highness may be unhappy.

Thinking of this, Lan Yan immediately asked: "Does the shopkeeper know where the little girl who bought all your roast ducks just now went?"

The owner of the roast duck stall thought for a while, then pointed in a direction and said: "I just saw the little girl and two other men walking in that direction."

"By the way, there is a big orange cat lying on the shoulder of one of the men, which is quite easy to recognize."

"Thank you."

After knowing the whereabouts of Shangguan Yunmeng and his party, Lan Yan immediately chased after them.

Her idea was very simple, that is, to see if she could buy a roast duck from the other party.

After all, there are so many roast ducks, selling one to herself...isn't it too much?

At the same time, the Tianshi Mansion in the Great Yan Imperial City.

The so-called Tianshi Mansion is actually a cultivator institution arranged by Yuxu Mountain in the Great Yan Dynasty.

Its role is also very simple, that is, to help solve some strange events that appear in the Great Yan Dynasty.

Generally speaking, in addition to a fixed Yuxu Mountain Foundation Establishment cultivator stationed in the Tianshi Mansion.

It will also absorb some casual cultivators in the Great Yan Dynasty.

It is the place where mortals can most easily contact practitioners in the Great Yan Dynasty.

Today, the Tianshi Mansion of the Great Yan Dynasty welcomed three strange casual cultivators.

"So, you three want to come to our Great Yan Dynasty to be Tianshi?"

The Tianshi of the Tianshi Mansion looked at the strange combination of two men, one woman and one cat in front of him and asked uncertainly.

Among the three, although Yi Hanqing is approachable, he is actually very arrogant and generally doesn't like to talk much.

And Shangguan Yunmeng is focused on eating roast duck at this time.

So the answer was naturally handed over to Lu Chen.

"Yes, the three of us brothers and sisters are going to join the Tianshi Mansion. I wonder what we have to do?"

Hearing that Lu Chen and the other two seemed to really want to join, Tianshi Qiu Wenguang said: "No trouble, you just need to show your cultivation, and then talk about what school you come from."

For these, Lu Chen had a plan before he came.

He immediately asked Yi Hanqing and Shangguan Yunmeng to show their cultivation.

Except for Yi Hanqing who needed to hide part of his cultivation, he and Shangguan Yunmeng did not need to hide too much.

"Two foundation-building level one, one foundation-building level four?!"

Seeing the three people's cultivation, Qiu Wenguang was stunned on the spot.

Although there were foundation-building cultivators in the Tianshi Mansion of the Great Yan Dynasty.

But the number was only four.

Now three foundation-building cultivators suddenly appeared, how could Qiu Wenguang not be shocked.

Facing the shocked Qiu Wenguang, Lu Chen said, "We three were active in East Shenzhou before. After coming to Zhongzhou, we thought that with the skills of the three swordsmen, we would be able to make a name for ourselves in this vast world of Zhongzhou."

"However, the immortal sect here thought that our potential had been exhausted and we would not be able to achieve the golden elixir in this life, so they declined our request to join."

"After thinking about it, the three of us simply decided to seek a position in the mortal world, so as not to waste our cultivation."

After hearing Lu Chen's words, Qiu Wenguang did not believe it completely, but he did not ask too many questions.

After all, the foundation-building cultivators who are willing to join the Tianshi Mansion of the Great Yan Dynasty generally have their own unspeakable secrets.

For example, the reason why he joined the Tianshi Mansion himself is also unknown to outsiders.

Therefore, generally speaking, as long as the other party is not a demon, the Tianshi Mansion of the Great Yan Dynasty will not refuse anyone.

And from the eyes, expressions, and actions of Lu Chen and the other two.

He can tell at a glance that they are definitely not demons.

After all, most demons are afraid of being noticed, so they try to be as low-key as possible.

How could they be like two of the three, one of whom always had a blank expression, as if he was afraid that others would not know that he was a swordsman.

The other woman had a beautiful face, but her eyes were so innocent that people could easily be fooled at a glance.

Such a trio, the devil?

The devil is not even a bit of the way!

Thinking of this, Qiu Wenguang immediately asked: "Do you have any nicknames?"

"Don't get me wrong, Qiu asked this mainly to make tokens for you at the Tianshi Mansion and to distinguish your schools."

For this, Lu Chen had also thought of a countermeasure.

"He is my senior brother, Jiang Dongliu, nicknamed the Affectionate Sword."

"This is my junior sister, Mu Xiaoye, nicknamed the Ruthless Sword."

"My name is Chen Lu, nicknamed the Heartless Sword."

"Affectionate Sword, Heartless Sword, Heartless Sword..."

Qiu Wenguang listened to the nicknames of the three people, looked at their clothes and secretly memorized their nicknames.

Just as Qiu Wenguang was about to take a few people into the Tianshi Mansion and walk them through the entry process, a palace guard rushed in.

Qiu Wenguang saw the other party's horrified expression and immediately frowned and asked: "What happened?"

The guard looked at Qiu Wenguang, and then looked at Lu Chen and others standing beside him.

Seeing this, Qiu Wenguang said directly: "The three of them are also going to join the Tianshi Mansion, there is no need to avoid suspicion."

Hearing this, the guard immediately said: "Tianshi Qiu, His Majesty ordered us to call some Tianshi to the palace. Well, it seems that the queen is back again."

Qiu Wenguang's face changed, and then he said solemnly: "Are you serious?"

The guard nodded with an unsightly expression.

Seeing this, Qiu Wenguang thought for a moment and looked at Lu Chen and others.

"Fellow Daoists, would you like to go to the palace with me?"

"I promise that after the matter is accomplished, His Majesty will definitely reward you handsomely."

Yi Hanqing and Shangguan Yunmeng did not respond to this.

Because they did not care about this matter at all.

And Lu Chen nodded and said, "Yes."

He had originally been thinking about how to sneak into the imperial city without leaving any traces.

This was also a big part of the reason for joining the Tianshi Mansion.

At this moment, Qiu Wenguang's words were no less than a pillow for Lu Chen to sleep on, just right.

After getting Lu Chen's reply, Qiu Wenguang immediately left the Tianshi Mansion with a few people and rushed towards the palace.

Just as they walked out of the Tianshi Mansion, they happened to pass by Lan Yan who was leaving the palace.

The other party did not notice Lu Chen, but Lu Chen did see him at the first time.

Unless anyone noticed, Lu Chen left a tracking talisman on Lan Yan.

The reason for this was that Lu Chen wanted to find the immortal Ji Ling'er through Lan Yan.

You should know that his main mission this time is not only to kill the evildoers lurking in the imperial city.

He also needs to destroy the Buddha statue here.

But this time Lu Chen does not have the "Eternal Body Blood" in his hand, so he is not sure whether he can destroy the Buddha statue.

Therefore, the safest way is undoubtedly to find Ji Ling'er of the Great Yan Dynasty as soon as possible.

As long as he can find her, plus the help of Yi Hanqing and others.

Lu Chen feels that he has at least 98% chance of completing the main mission this time.
