#122 - Sister! What's going on?
The gate of the Marquis of Bishui's mansion was tightly shut.
In front of the Marquis's mansion was a large open space.
Paved with patterned blue bricks.
Between the open space and the main road of Nanwang City, there was a screen wall.

This screen wall, about two zhang high, faced away from the main road.
At this time, the sun was already setting in the west, and the sunlight sprinkled on the blue-red wall, reflected by the glazed tiles, creating streaks of rosy clouds.
It was very beautiful and dazzling.
Interacting with the grand gate of the Marquis's mansion.
"Whoa! As expected of the Marquis's mansion. There's even a wall built at the entrance." Xu Chengxian moved from the carriage to Ma Chengfeng's back.
So, this sentence was still conveyed through divine sense.
Ling Xiao glanced at him askance, seeing that this guy was pretending to be ignorant, so she ignored him.
She and Ling Yunzi also got off the carriage one after the other.
"Yo, there are words written on this wall?"
After Xu Chengxian finished sighing, he didn't care whether anyone responded or not, and leaned closer to the screen wall.
Someone seemed to have written something on it.
He wanted to see clearly.
This was a problem left over from traveling in his previous life.
Whenever he saw a place with handwriting, he had to go over and see what was written.
Was it the calligraphy of literati and poets, or the 'I was here' of those who were trying to be elegant?
"Let me see what's written."
No matter what, if it's words, we have to take a look!
Even if it's in the territory of the demon race, it's no exception!
Those who write on the wall must have some literary talent.
Do demons also engage in this kind of elegant thing?
Are there demons who can write poetry?
Or couplets?
When he got closer, he took a look.
Good家伙, it didn't seem to be poetry or articles.
It was names and origins.
"Climbing Python, Clear Water Mountain, Liu Ze? Bishui Snake, Lake Sheep Mountain, Black Flood Dragon?" Xu Chengxian immediately saw two relatively familiar members of the same race.
He had eaten the Climbing Python in front.
He himself was the Bishui Snake behind.
So, this must be the name and the race it belonged to.
What's the situation?
His heart stirred, and he couldn't help but look towards the higher part of the screen wall.
This screen wall was an outer screen wall.
It had three sides and was in the shape of the character 八.
The main wall in the middle was higher than the two sides.
It was composed of a base, body, and top, which was very particular.
The two slanted walls on both sides were carved with runes, and in the center, there were two characters each.
One was 避 (Bì), and the other was 水 (Shuǐ).
Together, it was the 避水 (Bìshuǐ) of the Marquis of Bishui, and also the 避水 (Bìshuǐ) of the Bishui Snake.
The highest wall in the middle was very smooth and had nothing on it.
It seemed to be reserved for writing.
At the highest point, there were four large characters: 来者留名 (Láizhě Liúmíng - Those who come, leave their names).
"Hmm?" Xu Chengxian thought, could it be that those who came to apply to be sons-in-law had to leave their names on it?
When he probed his divine sense over, he encountered a layer of obstruction.
This screen wall was strange.
The material itself seemed to be some kind of forged spiritual material.
There was also an array nested on it.
"Don't look, this is a screen wall forged from Qingjin Liushi (Cyan Gold Leaving Stone)," Ling Xiao transmitted.
The meaning of 来者留名 (Láizhě Liúmíng - Those who come, leave their names) at the highest point of the screen wall was already very obvious.
"This is where the great demons who intend to participate in the Marquis's mansion guard selection register."
Those who leave their names on this screen wall can enter the Marquis's mansion to ascend the arena on the nineteenth day of the fourth month in a few days.
And tomorrow is the nineteenth day of October.
Ling Xiao couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth.
When they leave their names, even if the Marquis's mansion reacts, it will be too late to stop them.
At this time, whether the first half of the planned matter can be accomplished depends on whether the name can be left on this wall.
"Old ghost, hurry up and come forward."
She turned her head and greeted Xu Chengxian, "Leave your name 'Bishui Snake, Luyang Mountain Xu Chengxian' according to the appearance of those great demons above."
"After leaving it, let's go back quickly."
Lest they be reported to the Marquis of Bishui's mansion and they are stopped.
"So urgent?" Xu Chengxian was a little strange, how did he feel that Ling Xiao's words had a strong meaning of urging.
Was there anything particularly urgent?
Could it be that the city gate would be closed at sunset, so she was afraid that they wouldn't be able to get out in time?
But it didn't matter if they couldn't get out, right?
At worst, they could find an inn and stay in the city.
It wasn't said that demons from other places couldn't stay overnight in the royal city.
Worried about Dai Dai and Bai Xiaocui outside the city?
Not likely.
There must be something going on inside.
These days, he was still curious about Ling Xiao's plan, so, after the other party said a word, he couldn't help but think about it.
But he couldn't figure out why?
Seeing this, Ling Xiao raised her eyebrows and transmitted, "Old ghost, don't forget, you promised to listen to my arrangements."
"I know, I know." When Xu Chengxian heard this, he didn't delay any longer.
He had to keep his word.
A word spoken is like a team of horses that cannot be recalled.
He went forward to leave his name.
At the same time, he secretly thought, sure enough, he wanted the old man to escort Ling Yunzi.
Register if you register, anyway, he's a colorful snake, what is he afraid of?
He swam forward, and Ling Yunzi also stepped forward.
"Yunzi." Xu Chengxian swam to the screen wall, looked left and right, and finally stretched out his tail and tapped Ling Yunzi.
"Hmm? What's the matter?" Ling Yunzi turned his eyes to look at him.
"There's no pen." Xu Chengxian shook his tail and made a gesture of holding a pen.
"...Registering here does not require a pen." Ling Yunzi guessed that he probably didn't know what Liushi (Leaving Stone) was, so he simply saved the explanation and said directly, "You can pour magic power into the screen wall and leave an imprint of your divine sense."
"Oh, oh!" Xu Chengxian nodded.
Then, facing the screen wall, he narrowed his eyes and stirred up his blood.
The tip of his tail touched the stone wall, and a red light fell on it.
Then, with a thought, he used his divine sense to drive his magic blood qi to write a line of words.
The imprint of his mind was extremely fast.
In the blink of an eye, the words appeared on the stone wall.
It happened to appear behind the last name.
Seeing that the content left by Xu Chengxian was exactly the same as what she said, Ling Xiao couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.
Things were half done.
At this time, Ling Yunzi also raised his hand.
With a point of his finger, a white light flashed, and a line of words was also left.
It was - Bishui Snake, Luyang Mountain Bai Lingyun.
This line of words appeared behind Xu Chengxian.
"This thing is really convenient." Xu Chengxian grinned, it was done in one go, much faster than writing.
Since he left his name, he shouldn't stand in front of this wall.
As soon as the snake's body moved, he saw a figure coming to the place where he was before.
"Hmm?"
Ling Xiao?
Xu Chengxian was stunned.
Ling Yunzi was also stunned.
Ling Xiao left her own name on the screen wall while the two of them were stunned - Bishui Snake, Luyang Mountain Bai Lingxiao.
Seeing that the handwriting was successfully revealed and there was no sign of being erased.
She couldn't help but smile.
This was considered a success.
"Let's go!" She flicked her sleeves and got into the carriage, "Hurry up and leave the city, otherwise the city gate will be closed."
This sentence was not transmitted through divine sense.
Obviously, it was not only said to the two people present.
Ling Yunzi immediately said nothing and got into the car.
When Xu Chengxian saw this, he quickly followed.
After the two got into the carriage, Cat Nineteen urged the horse and went towards the city gate.
Along the way, no one spoke.
Out of the city.
Xu Chengxian couldn't hold back anymore, but he didn't forget to transmit through divine sense:
"Sister! What's the situation?"
"Although I don't want a brother-in-law! But I don't want a sister-in-law either!"
