In fact, Shen Luo had already noticed that the fox-robed man was not a human, but a demon fox.
Because of his relationship with the Jade Fox Clan in Jilei Mountain, Shen Luo had a good impression of the fox clan. He also saw that the fox-robed man did not reveal any demonic aura, nor did he use any tricks to confuse or force the girl to drink. Shen Luo could not help but think highly of him.
At this moment, seeing that the man was so addicted to alcohol, Shen Luo was moved by compassion, so he asked the girl to pour a jug of fruit wine from Lu Huaming's jug for the man.
The fox-robed man saw this and was a little incredulous, but then his face lit up with joy. He bowed deeply and gave Shen Luo a big bow.
"Not at all, not at all." Shen Luo quickly helped him up.
"Haha, how should I address you? I owe you a jug of wine this time, and I'll return you another jug next year." The fox-robed man rubbed his hands and laughed.
"I'm Shen Luo, and I did buy the wine for a friend. I'm not addicted to alcohol." Shen Luo laughed.
"So it's Shen Daoyou, I'm Hu Bugui. Brother Shen, you should be able to tell that I am from the Fox Clan, from the Green Hill Clan. "The man who claimed to be called Hu Bugui smiled.
While the two were talking and laughing, the girl had already poured the wine and handed the jug and the jug to them.
Taking the jug of wine, Hu Bugui immediately took a sip. His eyebrows furrowed, then they relaxed and he couldn't help but smack his lips.
Shen Luo put all of Lu Huaming's wine into his storage ring and shook his head with a smile.
"Brother Shen is also going back to Chang 'an? Then let's go together. "After the two chatted for a while, Hu Bugui immediately said when he heard that Shen Luo was going back to Chang 'an City.
Shen Luo hesitated for a moment, then agreed.
On the way back to the city, neither of them used the Wind Manipulation Technique to fly. Hu Bugui took out two white horses folded from paper from his sleeves and chanted a few incantations. With a toss of his hand, the paper turned into two tall horses.
Shen Luo and Qin Haodong rode on their horses and rushed towards Chang 'an along the official road.
As they chatted along the way, Shen Luo found out that Hu Bugui had been in Chang 'an for a few days. He had come to Taolin Town because he had heard about the peach wine by chance, which aroused the alcohol bug in his stomach.
However, since they had just met each other, it was taboo to talk too much with strangers. Therefore, Shen Luo and Shi Mu only talked about some spells and charms that they were interested in. Although they both enjoyed themselves to the fullest, they didn't inquire about each other's background or sect.
When they reached the city gates of Chang 'an, Hu Bugui put away the two paper horses and the two of them walked into Chang' an.
As soon as Shen Luo entered the city, he heard a series of clanking sounds. Following the sound, he saw seven or eight topless strongmen gathering at the base of the city walls on both sides. They were waving huge iron hammers and hammering steel drills as thick as a child's arm into the ground.
Behind those strongmen stood a few people in imperial court robes. Judging from the style of their robes, they were from the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Works. They seemed to be repairing the city walls.
Shen Luo took a few glances and didn't pay too much attention to them. He left with Hu Bugui.
As they approached the inner city, the two of them went their separate ways. Hu Bugui said that he would be staying at an inn in the east of the city called "Elegant Bell Court". It was not an immortal inn, but just an ordinary one.
Hu Bugui chose to stay there because the wine brewed by the inn was good.
Shen Luo, on the other hand, went straight to the Tang Empire's official residence. He had a small courtyard there, which was arranged for him by Cheng Yaojin.
When they parted, the two of them exchanged addresses and said that they could look for each other if they needed help.
When Shen Luo arrived at the Tang government, he immediately found that the atmosphere was a little different.
The guards outside the gate were more than twice as strong as before. The identity check at the gate was also very strict. If Shen Luo had not been familiar with the Tang government, he would have had to go through a lot of trouble to get in.
He asked a guard commander he was familiar with, and only then did he know that it was because of the Evolution and Harmony Conference.
"This Harmony Conference is not the same as the last Martial Arts Meet of the Three Realms. It sounds like it's about harmony, but in fact, there are undercurrents. Everyone is worried that the demons will not accept the punishment and directly flip the table," the commander said.
"After all, it's in Chang 'an, the center of the Human Tribe. Do they really dare to make trouble?" Shen Luo was a little surprised. "Did they not let all parties express their opinions before the conference?"
"Alas, it's precisely because it's in Chang 'an that everyone is afraid of taking action. They are afraid that the Demon Tribe and the Demon Tribe will not care about anything and fight to the death. If that happens, it will be like what happened to the Jinghe Dragon King in the past. After all, those demons may not really care about justice, "the commander sighed.
"Since they are worried about this, why don't they just not hold it in Chang 'an and change the venue? Could it be that those Demons and the Demon Tribe sects do not allow it? "Shen Luo guessed.
"Yes! They are not stupid. How can they really put their lives out of their hands and leave it to the Immortal Tribe and the Human Tribe? I think that the public statements before the conference may be perfunctory, "the commander said.
"Then there is something to talk about in this conference. Previously, both parties were afraid of each other and were testing each other," Shen Luo heard and nodded secretly.
"That's the situation on the surface. I'm not sure about the twists and turns in the dark," the commander said with an embarrassed smile.
It was rare for an Immortal Master to be willing to talk about these things with him, so he was happy to share. However, as he said, the inside story he knew was limited. That was all he could talk about.
Shen Luo bid farewell to him and was about to leave. Suddenly, he thought of something and asked, "Oh yes, after those big sects came to Chang 'an, where did they settle down?"
"This … It's hard to say. Some of them are close to the Tang government, so they stayed in the guest house of the government. Some of them have their own guild halls in Chang 'an, so they stayed in their own guild halls. Some, like Putuo Mountain, have a good relationship with the Transformation Temple, so they stayed in the Transformation Temple outside the city, "the commander said after hesitating for a while.
"Where are the people in Tianji City staying?" Shen Luo asked again.
"Oh, them. They have many shops in Chang 'an City. I heard that they live in the Tianji Guild Hall in the east of the city. I also heard that the young master who mastered the Art of Hiding has also left Tianji City and come to Chang' an," the commander said after thinking for a while.
Shen Luo heard this and was overjoyed.
After asking about the location of the Tianji Guild Hall, Shen Luo bid farewell and left.
He originally planned to pay a visit to Cheng Yaojin and then go directly to the Tianji Guild Hall. However, when he arrived, he was told that Cheng Yaojin had gone to discuss a matter with the Nation Master, Yuan Tiangang, and would not be back for a while.
Shen Luo could only go back to his small courtyard to rest. When it was close to evening, he went out again and headed to the east of the city.
