Chapter 287 Immortal of Zhongzhou
Chapter 287 The Ten Immortals of Zhongzhou were in a huge mansion.
A group of people were standing in the courtyard washing off the bloodstains and throwing their black night clothes into a brazier.
The pungent smell of smoke quickly filled the entire courtyard. At this moment, a thin old man slowly walked out of the hall, looked at the crowd before him, and asked in a deep voice:
"How could it fail?"
Upon hearing this, Qiu Baiyu immediately came to the person's side and said in a strange tone:
“A master has arrived. I was worried that the plan had been exposed, so I ordered an evacuation.”
"Master?"
The old man was taken aback, then asked:
"What about Huang Sizhi, who's next to He Weimin?"
"It's not him. That guy is a piece of trash. He couldn't last ten moves against me. He's a young man, and I can't sense any fluctuations in his energy. I suspect it's Lu Xian."
Qiu Baiyu said.
"Lu Xian? All ten Lu Xian are being watched, so how come this Lu Xian just popped out of a rock?"
The old man sneered.
"Steward Wang, I really suspect this person sprang from a rock. I've been in the capital for so many years and have never seen him before."
Qiu Baiyu also spoke with a strange expression.
"Never mind, it didn't leave any trace, right?"
The old man thought for a moment and then asked again.
"Absolutely not. These people were all selected and raised from orphans. There is no record of them in the files at all."
Qiu Baiyu quickly said.
"Don't go out recklessly these days. If you fail, the adults will come after you personally."
After the old man finished speaking, he glanced at the ordinary-looking assassins in the courtyard before turning and leaving.
Upon seeing this, Qiu Baiyu's eyes flashed with anger, but he quickly suppressed it and simply stood there pondering.
Where did that young man come from?
At that moment, Ding Yi was sitting in the restaurant eating heartily when a voice suddenly reached his ears.
"Old Deng, Old Deng, give me a bite."
Ding Yi was taken aback. He looked down and saw that his package was already half open, and Rou Zhixian was hiding inside, her mouth wide open and pointing with her finger.
"Are you eating too?"
Ding Yi was stunned.
"How novel! If I don't eat, I'll starve to death."
"That's what the Meat Fairy said."
Ding Yi looked around and, finding no one paying attention, poured all the leftover food on the table into Rou Zhixian's mouth.
"How about it?"
Ding Yi looked curiously at the meat spirit chewing its mouth and asked a question with some oddity.
He had seen ginseng that ate dirt, but this was the first time he had ever seen a meat-eating immortal.
"It doesn't taste good. Sweet potatoes are much better."
Although Rou Zhixian said that, she ate quickly and soon finished all the leftovers that Ding Yi had dumped.
"Stop talking nonsense. There are too many people here. From now on, without my permission, don't say anything out of line, and don't go out anywhere else!"
Ding Yi closed the package again, then called over the waiter and asked for a private room upstairs.
This restaurant has thirteen floors, making it the tallest building Ding Yi has ever stayed in since his transmigration.
The price was naturally not cheap, but fortunately Ding Yi reinforced the soil with ten taels of silver, thus avoiding the fate of sleeping on the streets.
Even now, Ding Yi still receives occasional notifications about his lifespan increasing.
After all, he had spent a full month at that blacksmith shop, and the number of weapons he had upgraded during that time would last him a long time.
Riding on the wooden platform, Ding Yi arrived smoothly at the tenth floor of the attic.
It has to be said that this long-lost feeling of climbing high and looking far gave Ding Yi the illusion of returning to Earth, but the old-fashioned clothes of the waiter following behind him instantly pulled Ding Yi back to reality.
"Sir, this way please."
The waiter watched Ding Yi standing outside the railing, gazing into the distance, and didn't disturb him. Only after a few breaths did he speak.
Ding Yi followed the waiter along the corridor and suddenly asked:
"Young man, do you know what happened last night?"
"Ah, sir, I heard that the home of the Vice Minister of Revenue was burgled. It's strange, though, that the thief was so bold as to dare to break into the He residence."
The waiter explained with a smile.
"Vice Minister of Revenue".
Ding Yi raised an eyebrow, pondered for a moment, and then asked:
"Does this young brother know if there are any experts at the Lu Xian Realm within this imperial city?"
The waiter was taken aback, and then said with some confusion:
"Of course there are. Everyone knows that there are three Immortals of the Heavenly Realm in the Imperial City. Are you from another state, sir?"
After the waiter finished speaking, Ding Yi immediately laughed:
"That's right, I wonder if you could tell me about these three immortals."
"Why not? The first Lu Xian is in the palace, and it is said that he is protecting the emperor's safety. The second is Jin Xiaobao, the eldest grandson of Jin Yuanhuan, who was invincible in the past. The third is Liu Chengyuan, the ancestor of the Liu family."
"As for the other seven immortals in Zhongzhou, they are all founders of their own sects, each residing on a different sacred mountain. Every year, quite a few people go there to study!"
The waiter seemed to be used to explaining things to people, and at this moment he spoke of Lu Xian with great knowledge and even a sense of pride on his face.
This is a Lu Xian! The pinnacle of the mortal realm, a being comparable to an immortal!
Upon hearing this, Ding Yi smiled calmly and then remained silent.
After leading Ding Yi to his room, the waiter left, saying that if he needed anything, he could ring the bell in the room to call him.
After returning to his room, Ding Yi first released the Meat Fairy, and then sat down at the table to ponder.
Rouzhixian seemed extremely excited to have come out with Ding Yi. As soon as she was released, she started touching everything in the room, even the chamber pot.
Ding Yi hadn't expected that there would be so many immortals in Zhongzhou, but considering that Zhongzhou was, after all, a holy land for martial artists, it seemed normal.
"In that case, it seems more realistic to seek guidance from the other seven immortals."
While thinking to himself, Ding Yi pulled Rou Zhixian over, cut off a piece of meat, stuffed it into his mouth, and began to chew.
Even at the Lu Xian realm, the flesh of this Meat Immortal still had a slight effect on the transformation of the body's essence, and its texture was very elastic. Ding Yi had become addicted to eating it during this period.
In the afternoon, Ding Yi went out to continue gathering information.
First of all, life in the imperial city is vastly different from before.
People dressed in very expensive clothes often appear here.
Once these people appear, they are always followed by three or four martial arts masters, and the surrounding residents dare not approach them at all.
This is what a "second-generation official" looks like.
Ding Yi found the scene, which seemed straight out of a novel, quite amusing, but he had no intention of provoking anyone. He simply followed the others and hid from these people, behaving like an ordinary citizen.
But just as Ding Yi was about to go for a walk on the street, he suddenly noticed several people rapidly approaching him.
Ding Yi frowned, but did not rush to release his divine sense. Instead, he pretended to be unaware and continued walking forward. However, soon, several officials dressed in flying cloud robes blocked Ding Yi's way.
The leading officer glanced at Ding Yi, then at the portrait in his hand, and asked:
"From out of state?"
Upon seeing this, Ding Yi immediately smiled and said:
"Yes."
"Where were you last night? Did you go to the He residence?"
The officer continued to ask.
“Indeed, I heard shouts of killing coming from the He residence. I thought that if Lord He were in danger, the people would lose another good official. How could I not care?”
"So I took the risk and went in. Of course, when I went in, I saw a group of people lying there. Later, Lord He also appeared and greeted me."
Ding Yi said calmly.
