Six Gods

Chapter 41 The Demon Mansion!
After arriving in Runan, Xiang Yuan locked his destination—Nangu Lane in Dongshan District, Runan, according to the documents of the demon mansion left by Zhao Xian.

Runan is a city built between two mountains, except for the downtown area in the middle.

Relying on the east and west mountains, each has a city under construction, that is, Dongshan District and Xishan District.

Dongshan District was established earlier, and all the construction has been completed. In recent years, many industries have been stationed in it, and the integrated development has been completed. It is an urban area second only to Zhongcheng District.

However, due to the late development and construction of Xicheng District, it has not yet been fully established, and the population density and industrial agglomeration are much thinner.

Xiang Yuan came to Runan after wading through mountains and rivers, in order to enter the demon mansion and find a way to get rid of the demon's poison.

According to the formalities, he now needs to take the token of completing the task of entering the government and go to Nangu Alley in Dongshan District to find a shop called Tingyu Tea Shop.

Trek all the way through mountains and rivers, eat and sleep in the open air.

When he came to Runan, Xiang Yuan's appearance was no different from that of a beggar.

Even when he entered the city, the soldiers guarding the gate thought he was a refugee from some remote village.

After confirming the target, Xiang Yuan didn't go in a hurry, but bought a new set of clothes at the tailor shop.

I found another inn and took a comfortable hot bath. After getting rid of the dust all over my body, I had a good meal!
"Comfortable!" Spicy Roast Beef Tenderloin swallowed with rice, and Xiang Yuan patted his belly in satisfaction.

People, it really is only after experiencing hunger that you will understand how delicious food is!
He has been hungry for several days, after eating this full meal, he has a lot of insights, recalling the life of the previous few days, he sucks his teeth!

After eating and drinking, Xiang Yuan got up and went to bed.

After so many days in the wild, he naturally couldn't fall asleep at ease. Every night he seemed to fall asleep, but he was actually closing his eyes and resting his mind. He could only sleep lightly for a while at dawn for an hour or two.

Now that he has arrived in Runan, there is no threat to his safety, so he needs to catch up on his sleep.

He didn't know what the so-called recruiting content of the demon mansion was.

So he had to restore himself to his peak state before going to participate in this mysterious recruitment.

……

Xiang Yuan, who was full of wine and food, woke up from sleep, it was already noon the next day.

After some simple washing and changing into clean and tidy clothes, Xiang Yuan went downstairs to the dining hall on the first floor, and sat down in a reasonably elegant place.

In the big cities of Runan, the price level is much higher than that of Zhuyang Guangling.

The banknotes that Xiang Yuan brought out this time can be regarded as a considerable fortune in Zhuyang.

But in a big city like Runan, under the condition of ensuring good food and drink, we can persist for at most two months.

After ordering a few refreshing side dishes to fill up the somewhat empty Wu Zang Temple, Xiang Yuan set off for Dongshan District.

A city built on the hillside, the intricate staircases have become one of the characteristics of Runan.

People born here have walked on these stone steps made of bluestone for many years, and the original flat steps have been trampled out of a slight arc.

Without the advanced map navigation of the previous life, in a mountain city like Runan, Xiang Yuan has truly experienced what it means to not know the true face of Lushan Mountain, only because he is in this mountain.

The extremely complicated road conditions made Xiang Yuan wander around Dongshan District for more than an hour, but he still didn't see the Nangu Lane accurately described by passers-by.

According to the local population, the goal that seemed to be reached after turning a few intersections was extended hundreds of times under Xiang Yuan's feet!
Sitting beside a stone step covered with light green moss, Xiang Yuan reached out to wipe off the sweat from his forehead.

He was a little impatient looking for it, and decided to use his trump card.

……

Five minutes later, looking at the Nangu Lane sign with several weeping orchids hanging in front of him, Xiang Yuan nodded in satisfaction, and turned his head to give a piece of silver to the passerby who led the way behind him.

"Thank you, sir." He happily took the money, and the passer-by turned around and left with a smile.

It's nice to have money.

Sighing in his heart, Xiang Yuan found the seventh shop on the left side of Nangu Lane according to the instructions and signs on the letter.

Listen to Rain Tea!

In the tea shop of less than [-] square meters, as soon as you enter the door, you can smell the faint smell of herbal tea lingering in the air.

The surface of the facing counter was painted a striking maroon, and two guys in gray-blue single-cloth gowns were using special tea scales to pack tea of ​​various grades, and everything looked orderly.

"My lord, do you need anything?"

As soon as Xiang Yuan entered the door, a hunchbacked old man with a kind face, a thick beard on his mouth, and an emphasis on Southwestern Mandarin came up to him.

"Excuse me, is shopkeeper Tian around?" Looking at the hunchbacked old man in front of him, Xiang Yuan said according to the secret language mentioned in the letter.

Hearing that Xiang Yuan was looking for the shopkeeper, the hunchbacked old man's eyes changed somewhat, but the smile on his face was still as bright as ever.

"Shopkeeper Tian is here, but if this master wants to buy tea, he can just ask the little old man."

"My family is going to sell goods, and I have explained that shopkeeper Tian must handle it personally, and please ask the ward." He continued to say the secret words in the letter, and Xiang Yuan smiled and cupped his hands.

Having said that, the hunchbacked old man nodded slowly:
"Since it is a visitor from our family, the shopkeeper Zi Dangtian will receive it personally.

The old man will pass on later, and the little old man will pass it on. "

Let Xiang Yuan take a rest in the store first, and the hunchbacked old man raised the curtain of the backyard and went to report to the shopkeeper of that field.

Not long after, the hunchbacked old man returned.

Behind him came a fat man wearing a bright red robe, the collar and cuffs of the light yellow robe were embroidered with silver silk edge flowing moire patterns, and a cyan auspicious cloud wide-brimmed brocade belt was tied around his waist.

"From my family?"

When he came to the front hall, the affluent shopkeeper Tian looked at Xiang Yuan carefully with his eyes.

He took out the letter from his bosom and handed it the ghost's eyes, and said to Yuan:
"I came from Yueqiong Lake. My family was too miserable to bear. That's why I took my savings and went to the Guige."

"A member of the Zhao family?" Hearing Yueqiong Lake, shopkeeper Tian nodded slowly. Yueqiong Lake is the territory of the Zhao family, and it is difficult for people not in this circle to know.

What Xiang Yuan said was that he was a servant of the Zhao family because he couldn't stand the harsh treatment of the Zhao family.

That's why I used all my savings to participate in the recruitment of the Demon Mansion, and wanted to join the Demon Mansion.

After listening to Xiang Yuan's explanation, shopkeeper Tian looked calm, because the recruitment of the Demon Mansion was originally aimed at those who had defected from the aristocratic family.

The aristocratic family has strict rules and regulations, and treats everyone extremely harshly except for the members of the clan.

Therefore, every time the demon mansion recruits, there are many servants of the aristocratic family, who cannot bear the exploitation of the aristocratic family, and defect in anger!
After checking the devil's eyes handed in by Xiang Yuan, and after confirming that they were correct, shopkeeper Tian called Xiang Yuan to follow him to the backyard.

As for the official letter that Xiang Yuan considered very important, shopkeeper Tian crumpled it into a ball of paper and threw it into the burning stove beside him.

This official letter records the tasks that the recruiters need to complete and the detailed location of the Demon Mansion.

Originally, Xiang Yuan had estimated whether there was any mark on this letter that belonged to the owner.

But in fact, he was thinking too much.

Following Shopkeeper Tian into the backyard of Tingyu Tea Shop, there are already six men and three women sitting in the short house facing the door.

There are even two people with heavy travel dust on their faces, who seem to have traveled all the way from far away.

With Xiang Yuan approaching the short house, Shopkeeper Tian pointed to the remaining place in the room and signaled Xiang Yuan to sit down.

There were exactly ten people in the room, including Xiang Yuan.

With his sleeve, he brushed the dust off the bench at the door, and shopkeeper Tian sat down on the chair, and said to the ten people in the room:

"Today, all the recruits for this round have come.

I don't want to say any more redundant words. You should have heard about what you will experience when you participate in the recruitment of the Demon Mansion.

Entering this room means that you have already thought about it.

Unless you are dead in the middle, you have to grit your teeth and go on.

Of course, you also know what it means to pass the subsequent selection and become an official member of the Demon Mansion.

If you have any questions, please hurry up and ask them. You will be leaving early tomorrow morning. "

There was some stagnation and heaviness in the low house.

Sitting in the back seat, Xiang Yuan didn't say a word.

Different from those around him who participated in the recruitment of the Demon Mansion at the same time, he is a wild monk who has become a monk halfway, and he does not understand the specific rules of the recruitment of the Demon Mansion.

If you speak rashly at this time, you will only talk too much and make many mistakes.

So Xiang Yuan chose to remain silent, hoping to get some useful information from other people.

"May I ask the steward, what is the final admission quota for this recruitment?"

As soon as Shopkeeper Tian finished speaking, a tall and thin man with a bamboo hat behind his back spoke first.

"There is no quota limit for this recruitment. Anyone who can accept and complete the selection can be admitted." Looking at the man with high cheekbones, shopkeeper Tian replied softly.

"Excuse me, my lord, what is the selection level this time?" The one who spoke this time was a woman in a green gauze dress, with an ordinary appearance, but an inexplicable fragrance exuded from her body.

Hearing the question from the fragrant woman, shopkeeper Tian showed a hint of surprise:
"You know a lot. But I tell you now, I'm afraid you won't accept it.

This time the selection is planned to be C grade, but the meaning of the above is still uncertain, and it may even be added to B grade in the end. "

As soon as shopkeeper Tian finished speaking, the face of Xiangxiang woman turned pale suddenly, and her expression became a little flustered.

C and so on?B and so on?
Hearing this, Xiang Yuan looked around in a daze, and found that some people also showed dignified and panicked expressions.

It seems that I will find a chance to find out what the so-called recruitment level really means...
