Four lanterns

Chapter 19 Lou Lu Enrolls in Jiananyuan Dai Ming Returns to the Innovation Army (2)

Tianji City

"Great Elder, Dai Ming, Minister of Rites of the Northern Qi Dynasty, asks to see you." Passing through the deep bookshelf wall, under a daylighting dome, a man in black sat cross-legged in the center of the altar.There are two lamps on each side of the altar, only three lamps are placed in the north, and only one lamp has been extinguished.

"Deming? It should be Xingshi who came here to inquire about the crime. Please come in, after all, God's will cannot hide." The man under the black robe issued an order to meet the visitor to the gray robe man who reported the message.

"Great Elder, why don't we meet at the altar, how about moving to the living room?" This altar should be a secret in Tianji City, and the gray-robed man had a little doubt about the order of the black-robed elder.

"Jicheng is so chaotic today that even the gray robe can tell you what to do. Be careful about your own identity." The black-robed elder scolded.

Hearing this, the gray-robed man hurriedly apologized, and stated that the location of Tianji City is naturally the Great Elder's decision, but he thought it was a bit worried for an outsider to see the secrets of Tianji City, so he accidentally forgot the difference in identity.

"Well, after you bring Dai Ming in, you can go to the Chuitian Hall to receive your punishment. You don't have to appear in my Jiuzhan Hall for three months." The gray robe blamed for being speechless.

The gray robe obediently withdrew from the altar where the black robe was.

"Damn it, if it wasn't for the accident ten years ago, when would you, the black robe, have the voice to speak in Tianji City?" The gray robe looked away from the altar, and couldn't help cursing, but was afraid of being heard, and went out After taking a deep breath, he carefully looked around to make sure that no one heard him, so he sorted out his mentality and went to lure Deming in.

"Dai Shangshu, the elder has an invitation, please follow me." The man in gray robe said respectfully when he saw Dai Ming.

Deming wanted to identify the gray-robed man, but the gray-robed man intentionally avoided Deming's gaze.Deming had no choice but to give up, and followed the gray-robed man to the depths of Tianji City.

"Dai Shangshu, you are really a rare visitor." The black-robed elder saw the gray robe leading Deming into the altar, and slowly stood up. Only then did he realize that the black-robed elder was still holding a magic staff. The stick should be made of Nanming big toon wood, and the twists and turns of the tree seem to tell everyone its sense of time.

"Shi Jingren, what's going on with Lu Beicheng?" Dai Ming asked straightforwardly without being polite to the black-robed elder.

"Dai Shangshu, why are you so impatient? Lu Bei's fall was caused by God's will. How could I know why God wanted to destroy Lu Bei." Shi Jingren, the black-robed elder, replied slowly.

"Your Shi family's eternal will and secrets, I really don't know where the secrets calculated by your Tianji City are." Deming shouted. "I came here at this time, following the order of my pilgrimage master, to investigate what happened to Lu Bei."

"Your Majesty of the Northern Qi Dynasty, what does Tianji City have to do with me! Dai Shangshu, my Tianji City is located in Nanming, so I have no obligation to serve you in Northern Qi!" Shi Jingren couldn't allow others to act wildly on his altar. "Dai Ming, if you come here this time with a good word of advice, I, Shi Jingren, may be able to give you some advice. If you are so reckless, then I think I can only see you off at the Heavenly Secret Altar!" After Shi Jingren finished speaking, He flicked his robe, turned his back, and said nothing more.

"Shi Jingren, I'm here to ask two things. First, is there anyone among the 3 people in Lubei who survived? This is a private matter, so you don't need to answer it. Second, is the lost person awake?" Deming didn't intend to leave, and continued to question.

"The Lost One, Dai Ming, the Lost One is your biggest worry in Northern Qi. If it weren't for Lu Changlin to go to Lubei City to build the city, your Northern Qi would have today's country, peace and security. Now you, Northern Qi, are fighting for your own rights, and you don't hesitate to sacrifice the only one in Lubei City. You came to question me, and the lost people invaded, and you were the first to suffer in the Northern Qi Dynasty. Our Nanming city has a strong defense and sufficient armor. At that time, we will unite the east and the west. According to Mingjiang Danger, tell me, what does the lost have to do with me, besides, I have sufficient reserves of lamp oil in Nanming, so it is impossible to repeat the mistakes of Lubei." Shi Jingren turned and left the altar after speaking, and went deeper into Tianji City.

"Why is there enough lamp oil? What's wrong with Lu Bei's lamp oil?" Dai Ming chased up, and was about to grab Shi Jingren and ask him to understand. Who knew that the eight oil lamps on the altar were lit at the same time, and Deming was caught by a group of people. A force launched the altar.

"Dai Shangshu, are you okay?" Standing outside the altar, the gray robe saw that Deming was pushed out of the altar, and hurried up to inquire about the situation.

"No problem." Deming waved his hand.

"Dai Shangshu, can you take a step to speak." The gray-robed man asked cautiously. Although the gray-robed man lowered his head, Dai Ming clearly sensed the person under the cloak and smiled.

"Your Excellency has been hiding under the cloak, and it's not easy to see me with my true face. Why should I believe what you said, and take a step to speak?" Deming only vaguely felt that this gray-robed man was familiar, but he didn't know how he had seen him before.

"Dai Shangshu, my Tianji City is now divided into two factions, the black robe and the white robe. All apprentices will join these two factions after they complete their studies. Do you know why I always show off as a gray robe to others?" said the gray robe man. "It's because I want to know what is beyond the way of heaven."

"Why are you telling me these things?" Deming thought that the gray-robed man might not be in good spirits, and said some weird nonsense.

"I need Lu Zhao!" said the gray-robed man.

"Lu Zhao has been buried in the flames, together with his sister-in-law and brother-in-law," Dai Ming replied.

"Dai Shangshu, I never said that what I want is Lu Zhao from Lu Beicheng." The gray-robed man grinned. "It seems that the news from Tianji City is very accurate, only Lu Zhao is left among the 3 people."

"What on earth are you going to do?" Deming said.

"It's good to take a step to speak, Dai Shangshu," the gray-robed man made this request again.

Dai Ming heard the mysterious man's words about Lu Zhao and Lu Bei. He must have gotten the information he wanted from this mouth, so he nodded, and the two walked to the end of the bookshelf together.The gray-robed man groped on the bookshelf for a while, and took out a book. The bookshelf receded, and a bottomless spiral staircase appeared in front of Deming.

Deming frowned, he really didn't like this feeling, gloomy, sinister, gloomy, and even going deep underground.But for the sake of news, he still followed the gray-robed man down the spiral staircase.
