Fairy cage

On the day when he succeeded in practicing the poisonous skill, Yu Lie was so happy that even myna had a good meal.

But the next day, it was just dawn.

Yu Lie was wearing an ordinary gray Taoist robe. He tightened his robe and got out of his stone house.

It had been a long time since he had lived alone in a room, and he had started practicing Falun Gong again. Even though the room was dark and damp, with corpses of snakes and insects everywhere, Yu Lie still slept soundly at night, and he really wanted to take another day off to reward himself.

Unfortunately, as usual, he had already opened his eyes before dawn.

So Yu Lie could only shake his head, and with the bronze medal given to him by the dead fish-eye old man in his arms, he stepped out of the small courtyard and walked quickly towards the direction of the alchemy room.

After the duties are assigned, Daotong does not need to report there the next day, and can delay it for a month. However, the sooner you go to report, the sooner you can get your salary. If you have one more day, you will get one more day of money.

Now that Yu Lie has mastered the poisonous skill, his money has become tight again and he is short of money. Moreover, the place where he was going to join the job was the alchemy room, and he was looking forward to it even more.

In the alley.

Yu Lie had just taken a few steps and found that his neighbor next door had also gotten up early, so he subconsciously turned to look over.

As a result, he heard a charming voice: "Master, come and play again next time!"

A bell-like sound rang, and a shy, charming, shirtless, mature woman walked out of the courtyard next door with a swaying figure. Walking out with her was a refreshing male Taoist.

A man and a woman met Yu Lie's gaze, touching each other and rubbing their bodies.

The yard next door is also bright red, with ambiguous and obscene red lanterns hanging on it. The light is like brown sugar water and looks very sweet.

Yu Lie immediately understood that it was not that his neighbor got up earlier than him, but that his neighbor was just getting off work now.

The female neighbor saw off the guests who had finished their work, and also saw Yu Lie passing by. When the other party saw that Yu Lie was unfamiliar and young, his eyes brightened, and he immediately didn't want to leave work.

She looked at Yu Lie with a smile on her face and said, "Hey! Where did such a handsome little brother come from? Come and play."

The female neighbor came closer and wanted to hold Yu Lie's arm, but Yu Lie avoided her.

Yu Lie was just surprised by his neighbor. He had no intention of visiting him and taking a sip of butt soup early in the morning.

Yu Lie hurriedly bowed to the other party and passed by him.

The female neighbor was not next to Yu Lie, so she could only stop her movements and lean on the vermilion door, looking at Yu Lie with a resentful expression. She looked like she was hesitant to speak, which was extremely seductive.

Yu Lie didn't know the style, so he disappeared into the alley without even looking at it.

And while walking, Yu Lie was still thinking about whether to change his place to live. He felt that he might have been tricked by the fan before... Fortunately, he had only rented it for ten days and a half, and it was about to expire and he could change it again.

There were no other incidents during the rest of the journey.

Yu Lie rushed to the gate of the alchemy room without even having breakfast.

After arriving, he found that he was relatively late. There were already a bunch of heads crowded outside the alchemy room door. In addition, the people who arrived were all wearing gray robes and looked no different from animals.

Because it was his first time here, Yu Lie hadn't reported yet. He didn't know what the process was like working in the alchemy room, so he could only go with the flow and mix in at the end of the crowd.

After waiting for half an hour, there was a sound of dogs barking and a baby laughing.

The door to the alchemy room slowly opened. It was like a giant beast opening its mouth and swallowing the people squatting outside the door one by one.

Walking into the backyard, there was already a sleepy alchemy boy waiting on a corridor.

When Yu Lie walked by, before he could take the initiative to ask, the dozing Taoist boy opened his eyes and squinted at Yu Lie: "Newcomer?"

Yu Lie paused and nodded.

The Taoist boy in the alchemy room yawned, pointed to a place, and ordered: "The newcomers should go there first."

Yu Lie followed the good example and left the crowd, standing at the corner of the wall.

There were others who were called out before him and were already stuck in the corner. There were nearly ten of them here and there. Everyone is like goods, placed on the side, all with numb expressions on their faces.

Yu Lie stood among them low-key. Seeing that nothing happened, he simply dozed off. Anyway, there are a lot of people around, so he can hear it in time if something happens.

But not everyone else was as calm as him. Next to Yu Lie, there was a Taoist boy with bulging cheeks and a bulbous nose.

When the other party saw Yu Lie closing his eyes, he couldn't help but whispered:

"Hey, hey, new guy! Don't close your eyes, that guy has sharp eyes. He can sleep, but we can't. Otherwise, they will probably put small shoes on us, and be careful not to save our lives!"

Yu Lie was surprised when he heard this. He opened his eyes and found that his nose was curled up and his mouth was curled up, gesturing for him to look at the Taoist boy who was dozing next to the aisle.

When Yu Lie raised his head, Gan Toubi said with a hint of pride, "We are all entering the alchemy room in the same batch. It is fate. Listen to my brother and I will ensure that you can enter the alchemy room smoothly today."

When the other newcomers heard it, their eyes lit up and they all came over to listen. Some even moved over and asked in a low voice.

Yu Lie had nothing to do, so he also joined in the fun, listening to the guy who seemed to have some background, talking about the rules in the alchemy room.

But what surprised him again was that Garlic Nose didn't have a good background, and even the other party didn't come here voluntarily with the license, but was assigned through transfer.

Although Yu Lie didn't understand the rules of the alchemy room, he knew that if the positions of medicine slaves, corpse slaves, herbal slaves, etc. in the alchemy room were not determined early in the morning or were vacant, they would often be randomly selected from among the candidates who prepared them.

As expected, what Guantoubi told everyone next was not the secret of the alchemy room.

He mainly teaches how to flatter the Taoist boys in the alchemy room, and how to please other old people after entering the alchemy room to avoid being transferred to work as medicine slaves, corpse slaves, etc.

For example, there should be no redundant actions, but you should have good eyesight and emotional intelligence. If you really can't grasp the right balance, just stop with silence and say less and make less mistakes!

The other party also used Yu Lie's dozing off just now as a typical example to make everyone tighten their spirits and not relax, otherwise they would die without knowing how.

This made Yu Lie feel a little embarrassed, but what the other party said seemed to make sense, so Yu Lie continued to listen.

After chatting for a while, Yu Lie did understand a lot.

When more and more people gathered, the Taoist boy in the garlic nose stopped talking as if he was afraid, and asked everyone to stand quickly and not to attract the attention of the Taoist boy in the alchemy room. He just shut up and stopped talking.

Such behavior made the other people feel anxious, and they wanted to listen to the rules. They were afraid that if they missed the slightest bit, their lives would be harmed.

The atmosphere among the newcomers became tense and worried, and some people even wanted to pay to ask them to continue imparting their experience.

The bulbous nose ignored it, just snorted and asked everyone to continue to calm down.

After a cup of tea.

Finally, the Taoist boys who had been working had finished leaving, and the sleepy Taoist boy in the alchemy room on the roadside finally dozed off, thinking of Yu Lie and others.

The Taoist boy from the alchemy room called everyone from a distance and asked them to go over.

Hear the sound and move!

The dozen or so newcomers hurriedly stepped forward, fearing that if they were half a step too late, they would leave a bad impression on the alchemy boy.

Garlic Nose ran over, hunched over, and bowed first to salute: "I've seen this Taoist brother before! Taoist brother is very nice."

Seeing how respectful everyone was, the alchemy boy showed satisfaction on his face. He looked at his nose and said casually: "It seems that the newcomers this time know quite a lot about etiquette."

When Lan Toubi heard this, there was a burst of secret joy and pride in his eyes. The others also rushed to salute, bending lower and lower, almost lying on the ground.

The alchemy Taoist boy was surrounded by dogs wagging their tails.

But the next moment, a dark green bronze medal was taken out:

"Newcomer Yu Lie, I have met this fellow Taoist"

The Taoist boy in the alchemy room immediately looked away from the flattering crowd and looked at the bronze medal, and his words stopped.

With a friendly smile on his face, this man pushed aside the crowd and walked toward someone.

The other people's bodies seemed to be frozen, and their movements stopped. Garlic Nose was also surprised. He turned around and was stunned on the spot.
