Yinshan Record

Chapter 84 Reunion in the Arctic
A loud shout.

Feng was momentarily stunned.

What is this monster up to?
Old Niu grinned at the guards beside him.

"Take your time, bro, I'm not running away."

Immediately afterwards, Old Niu pointed at Su Che and shouted.

“I’m pointing this out. This person keeps a ghost as a concubine.”

Su Che hadn't slept for several days. Hearing Lao Niu's words, his vision went black, and he almost fainted.

If you're going to be a witness for the prosecution, then pick out the important points and say them. Damn it, if you accuse me, I'll be punished more severely according to the rules, okay?
Oh no, my image is ruined again.

Why did I say "again"?
The Imperial Censor Yu Ze smiled like a kind elder, thinking to himself that today's young people do seem to have some of the spirit of his generation.

Feng Buxing cautiously looked at the dark circles under Su San Gongzi's eyes, thinking that he was indeed somewhat deficient in yang energy and that he would have to put in some effort to nourish him.

Only Shi Chibao, his face flushed, didn't know what to do for a moment.

Silence is the most awkward thing to say.

Old Niu also realized that something was amiss.

Is Zuo Lengchan really as influential as he claims?

Old Niu underestimated this Jiangnan henchman, Cizhou timely rain, the little tyrant with the iron whip from somewhere.

"I also have secret information, secret information..."

"Keep your voice down."

Shi Chibao found the old ox increasingly annoying. With that booming voice, what secret report could he possibly be making? The echo of his shout could be heard throughout Guobei County.

"The Black Mountain Monster has a big conspiracy, a big conspiracy! They've controlled all the demon kings in Xuan Mountain and are going to besiege Shanyin County. Everyone, run!"

Shi Chibao glanced furtively at the two expressionless superiors and asked the guards who were binding the monster.

"Is it tied up?"

“What I said is true. I, Lao Niu, have been eating the grass of Daliang since I was a child. I also have a loyal heart. I can also serve the court.”

The old ox was stunned.

What's going on? Are they hard of hearing?

"Tie him up, then take him away." Feng Xingbu said to Shi Chibao beside him, "Chief Shi, you can ask him a good question."

"Thunder and rain, all are the Emperor's grace; all land under heaven belongs to the King. If you are willing to serve His Majesty, you will naturally have your chance." Feng Xingbu said to the old ox, "Take care of yourself."

Shi Chibao responded with a nod and led his cavalry to take away the old ox, who was still standing there in a daze.

Yu Ze smiled and said to Feng Buxing.

"Looking at Su Lixing's appearance, he really does resemble Lord Su quite a bit."

"We've been looking for you all this time, and all you did was venture into dangerous territory to capture someone for us?"

Feng Buxing, being from the palace, absolved Su Che of responsibility for leaving the important place at a critical moment with just a few words, thus adding another merit to Su Che's record.

"This humble servant has urgent matters to report to you two..."

Seeing Su Che's solemn expression, Yu Ze picked up the jade pendant at his waist and gently stroked it, causing a radiant light to envelop the area within a ten-foot radius.

"Su Lixing, speak slowly..."

Su Che recounted his experiences in Niushou Mountain in a brief, selective manner, omitting all details involving the little fox, the old fox, Song Qi, Lin Jiugong, and others.

Of course, none of the things that happened in the Niushoushan Tomb were there.

Yu Ze didn't need to know these things.

He recounted his experiences from beginning to end, which made Yu Ze frown deeply.

"According to Su Lixing, the powerful demons in Xuanshan have now joined forces and are deliberately driving the people into the county town?"

"Oh dear, what should we do?"

Yu Ze was somewhat worried, as the Imperial Censor's confidence was based on his understanding of Feng Buxing.

Now, facing that unfathomable Black Mountain Monster, Yu Ze was truly uncertain about his future.

"It's alright. Master Huang Tiandao and Master Yu Lizi will be able to return to Shanyin tomorrow. Just get through this night and everything will be fine."

The cheap master is coming back? Su Che was overjoyed. His hard work these past few nights had finally paid off.

"That's good, that's good." Yu Ze looked at Su Che: "Eunuch Feng, Su Lixing looks quite tired, why don't you let him rest first?"

She's so weak at such a young age, what will she be like in the future?

"Rest now. With the Censor in the city and with me here, nothing else will happen."

Su Che bowed to the two men again before returning to the county office.

His own room had long been cleaned and tidied up; Zhang San was much more conscientious as a service worker than the page boy sent by Bailudong.

Upon reaching the door, Su Che inspected his belongings.

The Qingdi wine cup is inscribed with the words "Made by Weiyang".

The two pages contain the golden book "The Future Star Constellation Tribulation Scripture".

There was also a piece of silk obtained from the ancient tomb at Niushou Mountain.

The ancient bronze sword left behind by Jiang Qin, the great hero of Jiangnan.

Finally, there was the spirit-sealing rope that Huang Tiandao presented.

Su Che frowned as he picked up the spirit rope and stroked it. Suddenly, he recalled the scene of interrogating the little fox here that day, and a warm feeling inexplicably rose in his heart.

I wonder what that little fox named Kongzhu is doing.

Once she reaches the seventh rank and is able to transform into human form, we'll tie her up again and interrogate her here once more.

As people, we should never forget our original aspirations.

With so many odds and ends, it would be great to have a treasure that can hold them all.

Looking at the things on the table, Su Che felt that his trip to Shanyin had been quite fruitful.

Although I didn't actually do anything, I still did a lot of things.

He got promoted, joined an evil organization, and acquired a bunch of miscellaneous treasures, all of which were more prestigious than those he had brought with him.

Is this what it feels like to build something entirely on your own? Su Che suddenly felt as if his elders in the Su family had given him 100 million to start a business, and then he had earned a net worth of 200 million.

As he watched, Su Che suddenly felt that something was not quite right.

When did a wooden mask appear on this table?

Su Che picked up the mask; it was neither gold nor bronze, and it was painted with the face of a ferocious hyena.

This isn't my "Eastern King Duke" mask.

Su Che suddenly remembered that today should be the day of that unlucky Zhongshan Society gathering.

This damned organization doesn't even give people time to adjust; they'll report you to Huang Tiandao right away.

As she was thinking this, her hand uncontrollably covered her face with the mask.

The world was spinning again.

What lies before us is already another world.

The northernmost point of the earth, a place where the sun and moon cannot shine.

The square is paved with jade and is empty inside. Countless statues of immortals, gods, and celestial maidens float in the air above the square. Some of them are smiling and lively, while others are meditating with their eyes closed. Each one is lifelike.

Orchids sprouted from beneath the jade, emitting a clear, luminous glow.

A massive azure dragon slowly swam across the sky, a ball of condensed firelight held in its mouth, meandering and wandering in the air.

In the very center of the square stood a colossal bronze tree, stretching upwards towards the sky, its branches reaching deep into the heavens. Various images shifted and changed on its trunk.

A large, long table of celadon jade stood before a man seated at the head of the table. His face was adorned with a flat, mirror-like bronze mask, and his temples were already gray, exuding an ancient aura.

The others were already seated at the long table.

Wuzhiqi, Yuqiang, Gushe, Su Nu, Qingqiu, and myself.

"This is Feng Xi. The Eastern King Duke has other matters to attend to today and is unable to participate."

Su Che looked at Zhong Yuan, who was wearing a bronze mask.

This old fox knows everything.
