Big dreamer

Latest website: Chang'an City is very lively in the evening. Many lights have been lit on the streets. Under the evening breeze, the wine flags hanging outside dance with the wind, spreading the aroma of the restaurant's food and wine to all directions.

Within each city, there are more smaller wine shops and food stalls. All kinds of food from all over the world are gathered together, and steamers and soup pots are everywhere.

Shen Luo walked through the bustling crowd, feeling the thick smoke of fireworks, and unconsciously calmed down from his impetuous mood some time ago.

This Yanhe Conference is different from the previous ones. Only some large sects will participate. Not to mention ordinary people, even the sect heads with low rankings are not qualified to participate, and most of them may not even know about it.

Therefore, the impact of this conference on the people of Chang'an is far less obvious than the increase in rental and sale prices of houses in the city.

…

Tianhui Pavilion is located in Juehuafang in the east of the city. It is a large garden in itself. After several expansions, almost the entire garden was included in Tianhui Pavilion.

When Shen Luo arrived at the entrance of Tianhui Hall, he found that the door was just a very inconspicuous carved hanging door. Two black doors were closed, with two bronze animal heads with rings inlaid on them, and eighty-one brass door nails arranged on them.

He walked up and knocked on the door a few times, but no one answered. After waiting for a while, he saw the bronze animal head on the door suddenly opened its mouth and spoke human words, asking: "Who is visiting?"

As the beast's head opens and closes its mouth, the copper ring in its mouth also makes a "tingling" sound.

"Junior Shen Luo, come to pay a visit to the young master, senior." Shen Luo said.

After finishing speaking, there was another silence.

After a while, the two bronze beast heads opened their mouths at the same time, and pulled down the copper rings inside. The two seemingly thin black doors slowly opened inward, making a heavy friction sound.

The door opened, and inside was not a courtyard, but a narrow walkway, with two towering white walls on both sides, carved with patterns that looked like Suzakus.

Shen Luo just stared at it for a few times before feeling a hot air coming towards his face. It was a small protective circle.

He straightened his clothes and walked forward. As soon as he reached the end of the trail, a young man wearing the uniform of a Tianji City disciple immediately came up to him.

After the two of them greeted each other, the disciple said: "Senior Shen, the city lord is still in retreat in the secret room. The elder has already gone to invite him. Could you please follow me to the living room and wait."

"Okay." Shen Luo responded naturally.

Then, he was led by the disciple through the corridors of the guild hall.

Not long after Shen Luo walked, he felt a little dazzled. The crisscrossing corridors around him were very complicated, almost like a maze. If no one was there to guide him, Shen Luo would feel lost.

Moreover, there are magic circles and mechanisms hidden in corners all over the corridor. Shen Luo discovered no less than seven of them along the way. Although they don’t know how powerful they are, the number alone is enough to make the intruder’s scalp numb. .

After passing through this verandah area, the view in front suddenly becomes wider, and not far away there is a steamy pond with fields of lotus leaves scattered on it, full of green.

Shen Luo stared at a rising reef in the pond for a moment. Suddenly his eyes flashed and he vaguely saw a faint metallic shadow passing through the gaps between the rocks. There were fine scale marks on it, which looked like It's an anaconda.

Seeing Shen Luo's figure pause, the disciple smiled, but he didn't mind revealing the secret and said:

"Senior Shen, there is no need to be surprised. That is the Yanshu puppet of our Tianji City. It is Xuanwu, one of the four beasts that guards the Tianji Pavilion. This is not a secret, many people know it."

"Oh, the magic circle at the entrance was also one of the four beasts?" Shen Luo said in surprise.

"Yes, that is the visible Vermillion Bird Array. There is also a Vermilion Bird beast entrenched underground, but it does not appear on weekdays. It will only appear when the guild hall is attacked." The disciple explained.

Shen Luo looked all the way and felt that his eyes were opened. With the disciple's explanation, he realized how terrifying the number of protective measures in this Tiangui Hall was. After seeing it, he couldn't help but feel how awesome it was.

"Is it really okay to directly inform visitors of all the arrangements like this?" Shen Luo couldn't help but ask.

"It doesn't matter, this is what the city lord agreed to. Besides, even if everyone knows the layout here, how many people can guarantee that they can get through? This will actually prevent many people who are not self-aware from sneaking in. Thoughts." The disciple smiled confidently.

"I'm afraid it's not just like this, right? After such a journey, which visitor will not be impressed by Tianji City's Yanshu? They will eventually become loyal guests of Tianji Hall." Shen Luo said with a smile.

"Indeed." The disciple replied generously.

While the two were chatting and laughing, they had already arrived in front of the living room. Shen Luo saw an acquaintance at a glance, Elder Fu.

When Elder Fu saw Shen Luo arriving, he quickly stood up and came out to greet him.

After the two exchanged pleasantries, they sat down in the hall, and soon a pretty maid brought tea to Shen Luo. She had a slim figure, a natural expression, and nimble movements, but she was not a real person, but a puppet.

"Elder Fu, it's been a long time since we left Tianji City. I wonder how fellow Taoist Yan is doing? Are you coming to Chang'an City this time?" Shen Luo asked.

"Wushi has completely recovered from his injuries. This time, he did not follow him to Chang'an, but stayed in Tianji City. The city lord intended to pass the position to him, and now he is left there to preside over the affairs of Tianji City." Elder Fu Said with a smile.

"So that's it. Fellow Daoist Yan is so lucky to have a master like the city lord." Shen Luo praised.

"I seem to hear someone praising me?" At this time, a voice suddenly sounded outside the hall.

Shen Luo and Elder Fu stood up at the same time and went out to greet him.

"City Lord..."

"senior……"

The person who came was none other than the Master of Tianji City. Elder Fu and Shen Luo greeted him at the same time.

"Haha, no need to be polite, sit down and talk." The young master came towards me and said with a smile.

After a few people sat down again, the young master took the initiative and said, "I heard that you were there when the incident at Fang Cun Mountain happened last time?"

"Yes, it was originally for...but it happened to happen." Shen Luo said half of what he said, and then hid the other half.

When the young master heard this, he was slightly startled, and then said: "You can talk to Elder Fu about repairing the jade pillow, it's okay. He also needs his help in this matter, and Elder Fu is responsible for collecting the rest of the auxiliary materials. "

Hearing this, Shen Luo first apologized to Elder Fu, and then said: "I originally went there for the Mountains and Rivers Sheji Map, but I didn't expect that I happened to meet him. It's a pity that my strength is low and I couldn't be of much help."
