Chapter 75 "Inn" Branch
"Meng Xingyun" is a Class A member and one of the six members of the Privy Council. Qi Xuansu is only a Class B member, but "Meng Xingyun" is still quite polite to Qi Xuansu.
The reason is not complicated. Most of the time, it depends on the realm of cultivation, especially at this critical moment where life and death are needed. After all, Qi Xuansu is a celestial being in the Xiaoyao stage, which is only one realm lower than the celestial being in the Wuliang stage, and belongs to the core combat force. In addition, Qi Xuansu belongs to the kind of person with a background. If the Privy Council has an internal ranking, then Qi Niang is not the chief, but the second. Qi Xuansu is Qi Niang's confidant and direct descendant, so others naturally have to give him some face.
After the two exchanged greetings, Qi Xuansu asked: "What is our goal?"
"There is a branch of the 'Inn' near the overpass. Our task today is to destroy this branch, kill all members of the 'Inn', and take away all the account books and rosters."
The mask on "Meng Xingyun's" face seems to have the function of changing voice, which makes his voice quite distorted, and also has the effect of overlapping echoes.
Qi Xuansu was not surprised. In a sense, his mission to Fengtai County was not much different from this mission in essence. It was just that the mission was aimed at Qingluan Guards, and this time it was aimed at the "Inn".
Although the "Inn" has branches in various places, the strength of the branches varies. For example, the "Inn" branch of Cowinbu is much stronger than the "Inn" branch in Fengtai County. It mainly depends on the situation in each place.
The Imperial Capital is the place with the largest number of celestial beings, even better than Yujing, so the "Inn" branch of the Imperial Capital is much stronger than the "Inn" branches in other places, which is also reasonable.
As for not leaving any alive, it is not that they cannot be captured, but because it is inconvenient to evacuate.
"Meng Xingyun" walked in front, not on the overpass, but under the bridge.
Since there is a bridge, there is naturally a river. This is a major drainage river in the south city, originating from Penglai Pond and flowing into the moat outside the city. It is called "Jiaotan Houhe". As the name suggests, it is the river behind the Tianditan in the suburbs. Although it is no longer a suburb, but belongs to the southern city, the name remains.
Later, the Daxuan court unified and renovated the four outer cities, built a huge canal network and many water purification workshops, and buried most of the river underground to become a Yin channel. So today, there is a dry river under the Tianqiao Bridge, with no water, only withered and yellow weeds.
At this time, six people had gathered in the bridge hole, and when they saw "Meng Xingyun" and Qi Xuansu coming, they all looked over.
"Meng Xingyun" introduced to everyone: "'Golden Wrong Knife'."
Qi Xuansu clasped his fists and saluted.
Then "Meng Xingyun" introduced other people to Qi Xuansu: "'Drunk and Whip', 'Yue Hua Qing', 'Ren Yue Yuan', 'Yue Xia Di', 'Shuang Shuang Yan', 'Ban Yun Lai'."
Every time he reported a ci tune name, the corresponding person nodded to Qi Xuansu.
Qi Xuansu had seen "Zui Chui Bian" who was suspected to be a black-clothed man in the "Dream Club". It seems that he is the contact person mentioned by Qi Niang. However, because the plan changed temporarily, he did not go to see Qi Xuansu, but came directly to the overpass.
It was the first time for the other five people to meet.
All six of them wore bronze masks in the style of ancient witchcraft, with the name of the ci tune engraved on the center of their eyebrows. Compared with the bronze mask of "Meng Xingyun", the fineness of the pattern was significantly reduced. The mask of "Meng Xingyun" even had snow-white hair similar to lion mane, while the masks of the others did not have these details.
This should be the difference between Class A members and Class B members.
However, Qi Xuansu did not have such a mask because Qi Niang did not give it to him. In a sense, he had always been an extra-staff member of the Qingping Club in the past, wandering outside, and had not participated in multi-person actions at all. Except for Qi Niang, he had little contact with other members of the Qingping Club and was very unfamiliar with the Qingping Club. On the other hand, the others should have had many similar experiences, and even the masks were of the same standard.
"Meng Xingyun" was well prepared. He took out a mask with "Golden Blade" engraved on it from the Xumi object and gave it to Qi Xuansu: "It's not very useful, it's just a spiritual object. But it can resist the supernatural powers such as "disordered gods", "entering dreams", "perspective", and "looking at qi", and it can also cover the original breath and change the voice."
Qi Xuansu thanked him, took the mask, turned his back, took off his bamboo hat, untied his hair bun, and covered his face with it.
When wearing this kind of mask, it is best to let your hair down, so that your identity will not be exposed because of the bun. The ancient ancestors also let their hair down, and there was no concept of buns.
In this way, Qi Xuansu's face was wearing two masks, and it was basically impossible to see his true face.
"Meng Xingyun" said: "Everyone is here, let's get down to business."
"Shuangshuangyan" is a woman, and asked: "Where is the branch of the "inn"?
"Meng Xingyun" replied: "It's right under our feet."
After that, "Meng Xingyun" raised his foot and stomped heavily on the ground, which collapsed with a bang. Everyone did not dodge and fell freely.
There was no abyss below, but the former "Jiaotan Houhe", which is now part of the huge underground canal system of the imperial capital. So in the blink of an eye, it fell to the ground.
It was called a canal, but in fact it was more like a wide corridor. There was even a stone slab road for people to walk on next to the underground river, similar to a river bank, so that the group did not have to wade through the water.
It was the first time for Qi Xuansu to enter the underground canal of the imperial capital, but he had come into contact with these in Jinling Prefecture, so he was not surprised.
Corresponding to the Yin channel, there is naturally a Yang channel. Generally speaking, the Yang channel flows with clean water for drinking, while the Yin channel flows with sewage, so the Yang channel and the Yin channel must be strictly isolated to avoid pollution. It is also necessary to prevent the water from the Yin channel from flowing into Penglai Pond and other natural underground rivers, causing pollution of well water, so the ditches must be carefully planned and subdivided, which resulted in a huge crisscrossing "spider web" under the Imperial Capital. At the beginning, some people even said that this move would affect the dragon vein of the Imperial Capital. However, under the strong promotion of the two generations of emperors Gaozu and Taizong, this huge project was still completed, which will benefit future generations. At least there will be no more stagnant water and sewage on the streets. The clean city appearance is only one aspect, and the key is to reduce the breeding of epidemics.
However, in this way, these Yang channels and Yin channels are like a maze. Without a map, it is easy to get lost.
Of course, the court kept the canal map, which was stored in the Ministry of Works. Every year, the dredging was done, and workers were dispatched based on the canal map. It's just that ordinary people can't get the canal map. After all, it's related to the water source for millions of people to survive, so we can't be careless. The Qingping Society didn't get the complete canal map, only some handwritten fragments, so they could only find the approximate location from the ground first, and then force their way into it from above the Yin Canal. After all, it's not a secret that the "Jiaotan Houhe" is buried underground. The people nearby are all passing it on by word of mouth. At least in the previous dynasty, there was still a river here.
As for the "inn", after all, it has a relationship with the court, so it can set up a branch in such a secret place.
"Meng Xingyun" walked in front and was responsible for leading the way.
If you get lost in this place, it's not difficult to get out. After all, there is no formation, you can just go up all the way, but after "breaking out of the ground", it's hard to say where you are. After all, this is the imperial capital, and it's not uncommon to appear in a government office. If you damage the canal, causing leakage or pollution, you will have to face the wanted list of Qingluan Guards.
After walking down in this way for half an hour, turning a corner, a light suddenly appeared in front.
"Meng Xingyun" waved his hand, and the two "inn" waiters standing in the open fell to the ground without making any sound. A moment later, another "inn" waiter in the dark fell from the hiding place above.
"These are the visible and hidden sentries arranged by the "inn". They are not far from the branch." "Yue Huaqing", who is also a woman, said.
"Meng Xingyun" did not speak and continued to move forward.
The passage became wider and wider, and finally came to a wide place, similar to an underground hall, with a diameter of nearly 100 feet and a height of more than 10 feet. There seemed to be a hole at the top, and a beam of moonlight fell down. There was a pool below. Six ditches and underground rivers connected here. The opening was set five feet above the surrounding walls. After the river water gushed out, it hung down like a waterfall in the air, turned into a water curtain, and fell into the pool below. The water in the pool was divided into four paths, connecting four ditches at the same height as the pool.
Qi Xuansu and others walked out of one of the ditches.
A platform was built above the pool, with a counter and tables and chairs. The platform was connected to the surrounding area by a wooden bridge. There was a wooden bridge behind the counter, which led to another ditch, but the "inn" added a gate here.
This is the branch of the "inn".
It is also the most special one among the many branches Qi Xuansu has seen.
"Meng Xingyun" did not speak, but just made a gesture to take action, and all seven people rushed out.
"Meng Xingyun" took the lead and went straight to the branch shopkeeper behind the counter.
The shopkeeper here is the top waiter in the "inn". In terms of status, he is second only to the six senior executives. His realm is quite good. Facing the aggressive "Meng Xingyun", he was not panicked, pushed the counter with both hands, and made it fly towards "Meng Xingyun", and then turned his hands, and there was a halberd with black light in his hands.
"Meng Xingyun" just casually slapped the counter, and the whole counter was shattered into pieces and turned into powder.
As for the hidden true energy in it, it naturally could not do anything to him.
The shopkeeper of the branch swept across with a halberd, and the six hanging waterfalls were pulled by his halberd, turning into six water dragons, rushing towards "Meng Xingyun" together.
This branch shopkeeper is also a master of the infinite stage.
It must be said that although the current infinite stage celestial beings are far inferior to the infinite celestial beings of the Xuansheng era in terms of upper limit and combat power, they are far superior in number to the past.
This is due to the integration of Xuansheng's cultivation methods. Everyone can practice the method of great success, and the inheritance system is subdivided. They can specialize in one direction according to their own situation, without demanding that everyone is a generalist. In addition, the creation engineering has been vigorously developed, and even the exiled immortals can imitate it, not to mention the various elixirs that improve cultivation. In addition, the last glimmer before the end of the law, due to various reasons, the number of celestial beings has greatly increased.
This is like ginseng. In the past, it was all wild ginseng, but now it is cultivated by human fertilizer, so the yield is naturally incomparable. In terms of medicinal effects, the growth period of wild ginseng generally ranges from several decades to hundreds of years, while the growth period of artificially cultivated ginseng generally only takes five to six years, so the medicinal effects of wild ginseng are dozens of times that of cultivated ginseng.
Qi Xuansu's situation can only be said to be average in the Xuansheng era, but now, he has become a leader.
If the current celestial beings fight against the celestial beings in the past, even if their realms are equal, they will be in danger of death. However, the current Taoism is stronger than the past Taoism. Apart from other things, the number is here. If they can't beat one against one, they will definitely beat three against one.
