Chapter 359 The Ancient Family
To the southeast of Tianwang City, there is a small hill, which the locals call Chixue Mountain.
Those who come to Tianwang City for the first time must not understand why a lush hill full of bright blue flowers is called this name.
They won't understand the truth until they come to the foot of Chixue Mountain.
The soil of Chixue Mountain is as red as paint.
Zuo Chang knew in his heart that the "stone watered by the blood of the gods" mentioned by the gods must be buried at the foot of Chixue Mountain, and he took people there on the spot.
The car was running on the road, and the chief steward of the City Lord's Mansion pointed to an exceptionally beautiful blue hill in the distance: "City Lord Bai, Mr. Zuo, that is Chixue Mountain!"
Bai Lin nodded and asked, "Is this Chixue Mountain the property of Tianwang City?"
"Uh... no." The housekeeper shook his head, "Chixue Mountain is a beautiful scenery, people feel like they are in a fairyland, and it is so beautiful that people linger! As early as when Qian Wuyi was the lord of the city, Chixue Mountain was contracted out. ——I remember, it seems to be contracted for 96511 years.”
How many years?
300 years?
Zuo Chang wondered: "Is it a little exaggerated to contract for 300 years? What kind of family can live for so long!"
"This... this subordinate does not know. I have heard many rumors, some say it was contracted by dragons, some said it was contracted by demons, and some said it was contracted by an ancient family. The only thing that is certain is that this is a The forces from the upper community, they built a manor after contracting Chixue Mountain, and rarely communicate with the outside world."
In just a few months, the Heavenly King City changed its owner three times.
Naturally, the cadres of the City Lord's Mansion have been changed one after another, and the butler in front of him is newly promoted by Bai Lin.
Zuo Chang had read his information. The housekeeper's surname was Lu Mingke. Although he had never worked in the City Lord's Mansion before, he was a serious local sage with seven realms of cultivation and ten vulgar prestige.
Bai Lin faintly felt abnormal, and asked, "Why did they contract Chixue Mountain?"
"This... I don't know. People from the upper community spend a lot of money and sign a 300-year contract. It's hard for me to empathize with what such a wealthy family thinks."
Butler Luke thought for a moment.
He speculated: "Maybe it's because you think the scenery is good, and you come here to live for a while occasionally, to cultivate yourself?"
Not impossible.
Bai Lin asked again: "As the city lord, can I go in?"
Luke frowned: "From the point of view of the contract, Chixue Mountain is the family's private property and is protected by law. If they insist on not letting in, I'm afraid we don't have a valid reason to force it in, but you are the city owner, and they won't let you in." Whoever enters, can't let you in?"
Zuo Chang sat in the back row, heard the words and said with a smile: "One dynasty, one courtier, the contract signed by Qian Wuyi, what does it have to do with you Bailin? God, are you right?"
The god looked up: "Strictly speaking, it's not right; but it's reasonable and justified to go in and have a look by force."
Bai Lin was unusually calm, and said slowly: "If we are not allowed to visit, then we can go in and see if there are any suspects harboring and fire hazards. As the acting city lord of Tianwang City, I have the obligation to protect the citizens under my rule. Safety, routine inspection, no slack in the slightest!"
As expected of a typical knight, even breaking into a private house is so plausible.
Butler Luke had a new understanding of his leadership, and he immediately said: "That's true. Safety is no small matter, and being cautious is the embodiment of responsibility."
During the conversation, the car had already driven up the mountain road of Chixue Mountain and stopped in front of the gate.
In front of the gate stood two guards in armor.Zuo Chang raised his eyes and found that they had twelve realms of cultivation.
A guard walked to the car door and knocked on the window: "Who is it?"
Luke was very dissatisfied with the tone of his scolding.
He rolled down the window and handed out his business card without saying a word.
"Humph."
The guard read the text on the business card and knew that he was the chief steward of the City Lord's Mansion.
Strictly speaking, the butler of the City Lord's Mansion is Bai Lin's personal assistant. It seems that he has no official position, and his actual status is definitely not low.
When ordinary people see such a person, flattery and flattery are not acceptable, politeness is a must.
But the guard directly crumpled the business card and threw it on the ground: "I'm sorry, Steward Lu. No one is allowed to approach Chixuezhuang without the invitation of my master! I have not been notified to receive you, please get my master first Please come back after getting a clear answer!"
Luke leaned on the car seat: "Who is your master?"
"No comment!"
"It's really weird, you want me to get an invitation from your master, but you don't tell me your master's name, so who should I go to?"
The guard looked indifferent: "If you don't have this kind of connection, then don't come here! Chixuezhuang is not an easy place, and not everyone is welcome!"
Luke wants to curse!
But considering that City Lord Bai was in the passenger seat, it was not easy to speak.
Bai Lin also felt the contempt, he immediately opened the door and got off the car, and said to the guard: "Please go and report, just say that Bai Lin, the Lord of the Heavenly King City, is asking to see you. Not worthy to meet?"
The guard obviously knew Bai Lin, and he only glanced at it before showing a look of perplexity.
After a moment of silence, he smiled: "I didn't expect the Lord Bai to come in person... Please come to the concierge and wait a moment, I will report right away."
Bai Lin had long lost his patience: "No, I'll just stand here and wait. Please hurry up."
The guard promised and turned behind the gate.
"What! What a dog's eyes look down on people!"
Luke sat in the car and cursed in a low voice.
Zuo Chang smiled and said, "Nobles are like this, they have many rules."
"Mr. Zuo, I don't think this Chixuezhuang is a good person, why don't you go back and call the city defense army?" Luke turned his head, "I'm not worried, after all, this is the territory of Chixuezhuang, and they Who knows how many soldiers the Shenlong has raised without seeing the end!"
Zuo Chang shook his head: "Don't worry. If there is a fight later, just stay in the car and don't come out."
Luke chuckled: "Although I am old and my cultivation level is not high, I was also a famous adventurer when I was young! When it comes to fighting, I don't fear them!"
"Something's wrong."
Suddenly, the god spoke.
She looked at Chixuezhuang and said, "There seems to be a thirteenth realm inside."
"……what?"
Zuo Chang didn't understand.
"There is a person in the thirteenth realm inside." The god repeated, "And, he is walking towards us."
As soon as she finished speaking, a man in a dark green brocade robe walked out of the door.
He laughed heartily, walked up to Bai Lin with his robe in hand, looked him up and down, and said, "You are Bai Lin, the Lord of the White City? Oh, it's too far away! It's too far away!"
Surprise flashed in Bailin's eyes——
He discovered that the man in the green robe in front of him actually had the thirteenth realm!
