The lunch box opened by the palace maid's sister has countless delicacies inside.

"Are these things to be brought back to the imperial dining room? Isn't it a bit of a waste?"

The palace maid looked at the food in the lunch box, "These things must not be wasted, in the past, the people under us would pack and take them away." ”

"No, it's someone else's leftovers!"

"Seeing that you are a foreigner, you must not know the current situation of our country, although these things are nothing in the eyes of some concubines such as the king, but for us ordinary people, this is simply a great waste. Do you know how many people can be saved by this box of food?"

Mu Ling thinks about it, it is indeed a very wasteful.

"Then I'm not welcome to take some rice!" Mu Ling stretched out her hand and got some rice.

"Hey, by the way, sister, I don't know what else in this palace is sticky?

"Sticky?Is a cactus ball?"

Mu Ling had a flash of inspiration, and the sister reminded her, "Good idea, why didn't I think of !!"

But in the next second, Mu Ling was a little embarrassed, "I don't know if there is one in this palace?"

"Yes, there is, but it usually grows in an inconspicuous place, after all, there are thorns on this thing, in case it stabs a more noble person, we who are slaves can't afford it. ”

"It's okay, it's okay, it would be better if my sister could take me there!That's right!" Mu Ling took out some silver taels from his sleeve and stuffed them into the palace maid's hand.

Although I am a small boy in my family, I still understand these etiquettes. After all, I am not familiar with the people in this palace when I first came to this palace, and I am a little afraid of getting lost, and I hope that my sister can take me to find the cactus ball and guide me back. I wonder if my sister is free?" Mu Ling asked very respectfully and sincerely, and after seeing the palace maid's reaction, she felt that her heart was already steady.

"There seem to be a few near the cactus dining room, if you don't bother..."

"No trouble, no trouble!"

"But you just..."

Mu Ling shook her head, very embarrassed, "Sister, don't say that, just now I was ignorant, thinking that I could skip a trip, but how can there be a free lunch in the world, right? If you want to get this thing, you have to run it myself." ”

"Okay, I'll take you there, just by the way!" The palace maid put the lunch box away, sorted it out gently, and then raised her head to look at Mu Ling.

While walking, Mu Ling was exploring the truth, and from time to time she opened up some topics and asked.

"Hey, by the way, sister, there have been a few alchemists in this palace before!"

The palace maid looked at Mu Ling in surprise.

"And I don't mean anything else, I just want to ask about the situation, and I want to have a lesson from the past!"

"There are no alchemists, but someone has offered the elixir of life!"

"The king already has the elixir of life???"

Mu Ling's heart was full of doubts, if this king already had the elixir of life, why did he need an alchemist? The alchemist's job was to gather all kinds of medicinal materials and then refine the elixir.

How have you already practiced, do you still need an alchemist?

"I heard that this elixir seems to be quite special, the national teacher announced to the outside that it is necessary to hire an alchemist to refine it, you think about it in such a remote place in our country, where there are so many alchemists, so this is the first time that an alchemist has come to Muchen Country. The palace maid came carefully, but she didn't feel that Mu Ling was wrong, and after speaking, she kindly asked: "Hey, in fact, I envy you alchemists!

Mu Ling waved her hand, "Where, where." I'm just a little follower, an errand runner. ”

"Hey, for refining, did the elixir of life get it from the national teacher himself?"

"How can it be that the national teacher only gives wisdom but does not make efforts. What is this elixir of the body, how do we low-level palace maids know, but hearsay seems to have been pointed out by the national teacher himself. In other words, this elixir of life was discovered by the national teacher. ”

"Oh. ”

Following the instructions of the palace maid, Mu Ling successfully saw a few cactus, which were not very big, as if they had just grown. There are also small green thorns on it.

"Thank you, sister!"

The palace maid was happy to see Mu Ling, so she said, "I'll send this thing in first, and then I'll come to you when the time comes, if you don't dislike it, please wait for me for a while!"

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm pretty idle anyway!

The palace maid nodded reasonably, bowed slightly, and then entered the imperial dining room.

Mu Ling looked at the back of the palace maid in the distance, and muttered in her heart, it turned out that there was a national teacher in this palace, and she didn't know who this national teacher was, but she could get the elixir of life. But then again, all medicines need to be refined into elixirs, and since this elixir is more special, it means that this thing needs to be refined by someone personally!

Mu Ling had heard of some immortal fruits that could prolong life, but she had never heard of people who could also seek elixirs.

I thought to myself, isn't the king of this Muchen country deceived by others?

This national teacher actually has the ability to reach the sky, and directly said that there is an elixir of life.

Mu Ling thought that this person was not simple, and she didn't know if she could meet for a while if she had a chance.

After picking the cactus, it didn't take long for the sister to come out.

At this time, she was holding an incense lamp in her hand, and her face seemed to become a little ugly, and she didn't know what happened after entering.

"Sister, you're out. ”

"I'm sorry to keep you waiting, and there are some things that have been delayed for a while. ”

"Huh, what's wrong?"

The palace maid was a little panicked in her heart, her face became more and more ugly, she pulled Mu Ling out of the imperial dining room, and walked a little away before she spoke: "The director asked me to send some incense to the national teacher!"

"Well, is there a problem? It's just incense. ”

The palace maid shook her head, she looked around in fear, "You don't know this national teacher! I heard that no one has ever seen him! Anyone who has seen this national teacher will die within a day!"

"What's going on?" Mu Ling was very curious, "Isn't this national teacher killing people?"

"No, some people say that he must have been cursed! If you think that the national teacher can find the elixir of life, then he must have been cursed by his extraordinary talent! This curse will harm others. Anyone who has ever seen the national teacher has died. If you want to say that it was the work of the national teacher, I'm afraid the king would have withdrawn the investigation of this matter a long time ago!"

"Then why didn't the king investigate thoroughly? This is a matter of human life one by one!"

"Who says it's not? This thing is also quite strange to say, everyone is talking about whether this national teacher is a disaster star, or is possessed by demons! As for the king, he trusts the national teacher very much! And these disappeared corpses appeared a week after their mysterious disappearance! Most of these corpses were found in different places, and they had a common characteristic, they died very strangely! I saw it myself at the time!" The palace maid felt trembling when she thought about it, and now that it was her turn this time, wouldn't she panic.

The palace maid's face became solemn, "Those corpses all died of poison, and their faces were ulcerated, which is really miserable. ”

The palace maid was scared when she thought about it.

"This..."Mu Ling trembled when she heard this, she didn't think that such a bizarre incident would occur in this palace.

"Don't say that the people who died, their beauty is excellent!And the dead are all palace maids!" The palace maid thought about it, and couldn't understand whether her appearance could be regarded as a small jasper? The palace maid asked Mu Ling rhetorically, "What do you think I look like?"

Mu Ling looked confused, but others couldn't say anything demeaning when asked, so he actually added a little color, "If you are in this palace, I can be regarded as a more beautiful person I have seen!"

"Huh?" the palace maid trembled with fright when she heard this, and hurriedly followed.

She didn't want to go to the incense burner to buy spices.

"What then? I'm afraid I won't be able to come back once I'm gone! Even if I come back alive, I'm afraid it won't be a few days before disaster befalls me! I don't want to be like them!"

"Sister, don't panic, it's just a coincidence, and there won't be so many mistakes! Think about it, you're not the only one who is on an errand in that national teacher's mansion, there will definitely be many people up and down at that time, what are you afraid of?"

The palace maid shook her head, "What did you say... Alas, you don't know anything about this palace at all! The place where the national teacher lives is different from ordinary people! The land where he lives is a mountain that the king himself cultivated for him! Do you think this national teacher has a big shelf?"

"A mountain, my God, sister, don't be joking, how can people live in the mountains!"

"It's not that I'm exaggerating, but the king really opened a mountain for the national teacher, and built a dormitory and some other courtyards for him. It can be said that there is no quarrel with the world!"

"Then it's possible! But don't worry! I'm sure nothing will happen to you, you're such a good person, and God will definitely favor you. Mu Ling showed a hint of a smile, and the palace maid suddenly relaxed a little when she saw Mu Ling's lovely smile.

"I feel much better with your words!

"In a place like that where there are few people, it is possible to encounter some dangers, and you have to be prepared to go when the time comes, so that you can be in a hurry and wise, and you can prevent the slightest problem. ”

"Thanks for reminding me. ”

"Sister, I'm almost there, just send me here!

Mu Ling didn't know how much encouragement her slight encouragement gave this palace maid, and it was precisely because of this meager encouragement that her life was buried.

This palace maid didn't want to go, she might be cursed if she went, and if she didn't go, she would be reduced to dozens of boards with a cane, and she might be able to live for a few more days.

"Little mute, little mute! I've got everything back for you!" Mu Ling didn't forget to bring back the mud on the way.

There was a smell of urine after being placed for a long time, and Mu Ling smelled it timidly, and then retracted it, which was really a bit upset.

Bai Ye looked at a map on the table, as if he had been wandering in it, but he didn't hear Mu Ling's call.

Mu Ling approached gently, then leaned on and took a look, "This thing is so complicated, I can't even understand it." Can you understand the little mute?"

Bai Ye raised his head, looked at Mu Ling's innocent eyes, and explained, "It's the map! This is the map of the entire palace!"

"Map, oh! It's all the locations on it, right?"

"It's almost literal, come and see, this is their king's bedroom!"

"Wow, this dormitory has a huge footprint!"

Bai Ye flicked Mu Ling's forehead lightly, making her ahhhh Covering his forehead and calling.

"What are you doing, little dumb!"

"Of course I'm not asking you to come to see the dormitory, let alone how big this dormitory is."

Mu Ling said helplessly, "What are you looking at?"

Bai Ye was patient, and then continued to explain, "Along this dormitory, all the way to the south, there is a big mountain here. Bai Ye tapped his finger, "Here! The only big mountain here has been included in the palace map." ”

Mu Ling looked at it carefully, and sure enough, it was the same as the little mute said, there was such a big mountain here.

"What do you usually use this mountain king for!"

Bai Ye stared at Mu Ling and replied, "How do I know?"

"No, aren't you also the king of a country, and if it were you, what would you do with it?"

"This king is not interested in the mountains!"

"By the way, I think you found the sticky thing you were looking for?"

Mu Ling grinned, and then took out her treasure, "The little mute will do it, it will be done properly!

The first one to appear in front of the little mute was the cactus, "The slime in this is very viscous, I don't know if it fits?"

"It's just sticky, it doesn't matter what it is, give me this thing. ”

Mu Ling handed the cactus ball to Bai Ye, and then took out a few more, Bai Ye didn't speak, just took it silently.

But this last one... Bai Ye's hand stopped in the air for a second, and then asked, "What are you?"

"Isn't this dirt! sticky dirt!"

"I don't know, can I?" asked Mu Ling in a low voice.

"This smell of dirt is a little weird, where did you find it? Don't tell me you got it next to the latrine..."

Mu Ling said embarrassedly: "Also... Almost..."

"You're so talented... That's it, it doesn't matter if this thing is anyway, you can just use it!"

Mu Ling saw that the little mute had a serious face, so she asked in a whisper, for fear of making him angry, "I don't know what this thing is used for?"

"You don't have to worry about that, you'll know when the time comes. ”

Mu Ling really can't see through the little mute, isn't it just a few things, and he has to hide it. And I don't dare to say that he is stingy.

"Okay then, is there anything else you want to command?"

Bai Ye carefully looked at the map and took it with him, "It's gone." ”

"Seeing that you are looking so seriously, why don't I help you too?" Mu Ling looked at the map again, but it caused Bai Ye to stare at her, and she was so frightened that she retreated again.

After leaving, I couldn't help muttering in my heart, "The little mute is really weird! I obviously want to help him! Hey! I really kind enough to treat him as a donkey's liver and lungs! I will never do this again, and I really find my own guilt." ”

Bai Ye didn't take it to heart, after all, after a few hours, Mu Ling would be as usual again, unable to bear his temperament and say a few words to him.

There is a big mountain in the south of the dormitory, this mountain was built by the king of Muchen for his national teacher, in the eyes of others, it was built for him by the king, but in fact, the national teacher took a fancy to this mountain, and almost no one bothered him in this mountain. It is precisely for this reason that the national teacher can do some ulterior secrets in a fair and open manner.

And this thing is only known to him and the king, the king can do anything for immortality, whether it is selling his conscience or selling his nature, everything is just a foreshadowing of the elixir.

This mountain is named Guoshi Mountain, and on the way to Guoshi Mountain, there is a palace maid wearing pink who is walking slowly with a lamp of incense.

There was no one on the way, and the surroundings seemed a little gloomy, and the palace maid felt that it was a psychological effect, so she quickened her pace.

There is a splendid palace in the mountain, this palace is the bedroom of the national teacher, there are countless treasures in it, among which the milky white pearls are the most, and there are some carvings that look very disgusting.

The palace maid in pink clothes slowly pushed open the door of the national teacher's bedroom, and the palace maid felt as if the national teacher was waiting for her.

"The minion has seen the national teacher. ”

"Today's goods don't feel like they used to be as good as they used to be. ”

The palace maid in pink clothes looked surprised, "What are you talking about?"

The right half of the national teacher's face was covered by a mask, and he couldn't see what he looked like at all.

At this time, the national teacher walked down slowly, and his fingers lightly touched the palace maid's face, "Well, this skin is okay." ”

The palace maid was frightened at this time, and the thing in her hand fell, and she took several steps back, and wanted to turn around and leave, but the door slammed shut.
