Chapter 83: The Case of the White Republic of China
Today, another group of rookie palace maids entered the palace, and when Mu Ling inquired, they left the palace and mixed in with these rookie palace maids.
"This errand has been really difficult lately! In the past, everyone flocked to it, but now there are few women in Muchen Country, and few women dare to enter the palace. Except for a few people willing to come in the northern wilderness, the rest... Alas, it was so hard. "The position of a palace maid in the draft is the most difficult thing in this period.
Because everyone is rumoring about the mysterious death of the palace maid in the palace.
Except for some wild places in the north, I am afraid that those who know a little will definitely not enter this palace.
Nowadays, the threshold for the palace maid in the draft has been greatly reduced compared with before, and sometimes it has even been reduced to no threshold. But the people who visited were still like stars.
A person who is a little snobbish will definitely not enter the palace because of greed. Even if you get a lot of gold and silver, but not being blessed is also a kind of shackle.
"Would you like some water?"
"Big brother, you said that if we can't recruit a few more palace maids today, will the person in charge expel us?"
"If only we went straight to the north, where there were so many women of famine that we could bring in as many as we could. ”
"You want to make up the numbers?"
"What do you mean by indiscriminate refill? Think about it, the women of the north are not well fed and clothed, and it is better to come to this palace to fight than to starve to death, and besides, if this errand cannot be handed over. You and I are just going to carry our heads. ”
The other listened with trepidation, but then thought, "If the two of us go directly to the north, we must have been tied up before we arrived!"
"It's really a tricky question. ”
"There's no way we're going to wait here... Under this scorching sun, where else is there to come?"
Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived, and at this time there was really a woman.
The woman was dressed in tatters and her face was covered in dirt.
"Is there still a palace maid here?" the speaker agreed.
"Of course you move!"
On a hot day, I finally saw a living person coming, as long as it was a woman, they all recruited.
Mu Ling raised her head excitedly, and then was taken to a place by the two of them. Gave her to a lady who was in charge.
"Mama Rong, this new palace maid will be handed over to you, but you have to be kind to life, this is the first one recruited today! ”
Mama Rong saw that this woman looked a little posed, so she put down the shelf, "You come with me." First of all, change your clothes and wash them clean. ”
The place where Mu Ling is located is a public bathhouse, and there are only a few people in it.
The other sisters had already finished purifying, and as soon as Mu Ling entered here, someone stepped forward to talk, "Sister, did you just enter the palace today?"
Mu Ling nodded delicately.
"Well, I also entered the palace yesterday. The purpose of your coming to this palace is also to come to see the National Teacher!"
Mu Ling didn't answer, and at this time, the woman next to the palace maid said, "As soon as you look at her body, you must know that this person must be from the north." ”
The palace maid in front of her looked at Mu Ling carefully, "Think about it, you better clean yourself quickly!"
Before Mu Ling came out, the others were already standing upright and waiting.
When Mu Ling came out, all eyes were focused on her body, Mu Ling washed off the stains on her body, changed into a new pair of clothes, and the whole person seemed to be out of the mud without staining.
"Look at it, don't stand up to me yet!" yelled Mama Yung.
With such a roar, she put down the shelf again, after all, it is not easy to find a palace maid this year.
"Okay, now that everyone is here, then why don't we start training, and those who do everything well can rest early. ”
There are only 5 palace maids here, including Mu Ling.
Everyone looked at each other and immediately stood upright.
Mu Ling naturally felt that it was a piece of cake, after all, she had been taught well by Mama Xiao. Not to mention mastering everything, but the basic knowledge is still known.
Just by the action, Mama Rong nodded with satisfaction.
"Very good, keep it up and don't move. Immediately afterwards, Mama Rong came to the side of another palace maid, whose feet trembled, and she seemed to be a little unsteady on her feet.
"Clamp your feet tight!"
Everyone knows that it is difficult to find palace maids nowadays, so this training is just a process, and Mama Rong will not make it difficult for these palace maids. If they leave openly, she'll be in big trouble.
"You have to know that you have to do a good job! It's not what I'm going to do to you, it's how you're going to behave. ”
"You have entered the palace for different purposes, for different reasons, and even more so for your ideals! But you must know that it is very difficult to start from scratch, and only by persevering can you win the final victory, and this is also true. ”
Mu Ling stood straight in place and listened to Mama Rong's teachings.
In the past, under the teaching of Mama Xiao, the right ear always went out and the left ear went in.
These teachings were now deeply imprinted in her mind.
"Mama Rong, how long are we going to stand? The palace maid wiped the sweat from her cheeks from time to time.
Mu Ling also felt a little hot at this time, and if this weather doesn't come one day, she prefers to come now.
Suddenly, Mu Ling thought of a good idea, which was not embarrassing for Mama and convenient for us.
"Mama Rong, you see that the weather is so big, why don't we go into the house and learn other etiquette?"
"This..."
Seeing that Mama Rong still had palpitations, she continued: "Mama Rong, you think about it! It's so difficult to recruit a palace maid now, and the purpose of our entry into the palace is different. Why don't we let us in, and besides, who knows if we're training when the door is closed?"
Mama Rong glanced at Mu Ling, "Your little mouth is really good at saying, if you don't follow the process in the palace, if something goes wrong, the old slave can't afford it." ”
"God knows, you know, I know, besides, who in this room wants to continue training? If there is anyone who wants to continue training, I don't say anything at all. ”
At this time, there was silence, everyone's faces were red, and sweat couldn't help but flow out.
"Look at it! I want to go into the house now. ”
Mama Rong nodded, "Okay, go into the house." Mama Rong understood Mu Ling's words in her heart.
Then the men rested in this house, and no one was allowed to go out. If you are caught, you are fully responsible. Don't blame me for not reminding you then. ”
"Thank you, Mama Yung. Everyone agreed in unison.
The training is getting looser and looser day by day, and the laziness is getting more and more energetic.
On this day, the other four palace maids who were training with Mu Ling were sitting in a leisure place, chatting.
Mu Ling was a little curious about what they were talking about, so she quietly approached, and as soon as she came up, she heard the words Guoshi Mountain.
"What's going on with this National Teacher Mountain?" Mu Ling suddenly emerged from the crowd, and then asked very puzzledly.
As soon as Mu Ling appeared, the four people around him were scared for a day.
"Oh my god, you almost scared me to death. It felt like my heart was going to pop out. ”
"Ah, I'm really sorry, guys, just now you said about the National Teacher Mountain?
"Haven't you heard of it at all? We suspect that those palace maids who went to Guoshi Mountain were killed halfway through, and finally thrown into the palace to make an example of chickens and monkeys. ”
Another palace maid next to him continued: "I don't want to go to Guoshi Mountain, when the time comes, my life will be gone, and I will take some silver taels to spend." ”
"I just want to go to the National Teacher Mountain to see the National Teacher, even if it is to pay for my life. It is said that if you can witness the appearance of the national teacher generation, it will be a blessing for three lives. ”
Mu Ling looked at the nymphomaniac palace maid next to her, very helpless.
"Are you so afraid?"
"Maybe one day we will be announced to go to Guoshi Mountain. Mu Ling asked rhetorically.
"I don't want to go to the National Teacher Mountain, hey, don't you want to go to see the National Teacher? One maid said to another.
"I'm telling you, it's really impossible for you to say that you're not afraid. But all flesh and blood will feel fear. ”
"When you say that, I feel quite amazing, and if you think that the murderer is so skillful, I wonder if it will exist in our palace, and it will exist all around us. Although Mu Ling was a little afraid of that kind of outcome, for an immortal, these poisons of human beings were nothing.
"You're thinking so positively! ”
"Nothing, just self-analysis. ”
Mu Ling knew that no one would believe what she said, but it was just her guess. As for the true and false, it can only be distinguished by others.
"Let's enjoy life! Although it is a little tiring to get up early and be greedy for darkness every day, but in this training stage, we are simply living like immortals. In addition to eating all day, I slept all day. Mama Rong won't care. ”
At this time, another palace maid looked at Mu Ling, and this palace maid's name was Xiaoling. She usually speaks coldly, but this is the first time she has spoken to Mu Ling, "I'm also from the north." ”
"Hello... Me too..."Mu Ling didn't know what to say, this woman looked soft and weak, and even spoke softly. It's like not having enough to eat.
"So you two are from the north! "The person who spoke was the palace maid who wanted to see the national teacher very much.
"By the way, if you have the opportunity to meet the national teacher, you must let me do it! ”
"I also want to see the national teacher," Mu Ling said.
"You also want to meet the national teacher? I thought that people from the north were all for money, but I didn't expect to meet a colleague. Fortunately, I will be honored. ”
"Don't you know that the national teacher smiled and fascinated thousands of people, and once the national teacher looked back and smiled at me. "Thinking about this, the heart that wants to see the national teacher has already flown out.
"I've never seen it, and I don't know if it's so. ”
"How could you, a person from the north, have seen it, like me, although I live in the south, but you must know that the national teacher rarely leaves the palace. It is conceivable that it is even more difficult to see the national teacher than to ascend to the sky. Some people are just afraid of being frightened, so they make up a lie, and anyone who has been to Guoshi Mountain will die mysteriously, which is obviously unscientific. ”
"What if it's really some kind of curse?" asked Mu Ling tentatively.
"How is it possible? absolutely impossible, absolutely impossible. ”
At this time, Xiaoling raised her hand, as if she wanted to express her opinion, but seeing that everyone was chatting super hotly, she retracted her hand again.
Mu Ling saw this little action, and then asked Xiao Ling, "Xiao Ling, do you have something to say?"
At this time, everyone's eyes fell on Xiaoling.
"I... That..."Xiao Ling squirmed and didn't know what to say.
"What's wrong?"
"Actually, let's go to Guoshi Mountain together. ”
Mu Ling thought about it, what Xiao Ling said was very reasonable, "If there is only one murderer, then it is impossible for him to kill the five of us at the same time." ”
"Don't, I don't want to go, I said the curse, I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of what if. ”
"It doesn't matter, everyone is just talking, don't take it too seriously, this national teacher mountain is different from other places, you and I don't have enough strength now, and let these messes be left to them to clean up by themselves. ”
Mu Ling and everyone have been talking and laughing for a long time.
In the National Teacher Mountain, a hidden tunnel was displayed in front of the king, and he was as skillful as ever, and he was very familiar with the environment here.
The national teacher behind the king also followed, and the door of the tunnel was closed at this time, and then the national teacher gently wiped it, and the lights in the corner of the wall were lit up.
"National Teacher, how long will it take for this elixir to be refined?"
"The king doesn't have to worry, now there is an alchemist in the palace, as an alchemist, his body is an excellent introduction, but it's a pity that his face, so good-looking, but not a woman, can't be used by me. In the meantime, shave off his skin and make something. ”
The national teacher took out the bronze mirror, and under the shimmer of light, the face in the mirror took on a new look, "How do you feel these days?"
"Master Guoshi, this king is in strong health now, but I'm afraid... I'm just afraid that this elixir won't be refined for a long time. I see that Master Bai Ye seems to know the elixir very well, could it be that he can really make it?"
"Whether he can refine it or not is his business, king, do you think that which one is more capable than the immortals?"
"Of course it's an immortal!"
"Isn't this right, the national teacher is an immortal, specially for you people to guide the maze, when the time comes, you have to listen to me in order to win, in order to sit firmly in this country, in order to live forever. ”
As the two of them talked, they had unconsciously come to the depths of the tunnel, where there was a huge iron-locked door, and behind the door was ......
"You're here and waiting. ”
The king said respectfully: "Your Excellency, please." ”
The national teacher walked through the wall, and then appeared inside, and the white-haired child inside was startled and hurriedly retreated.
"You youkai!"
"Youkai?"
"Tut-tut, it's been a long time since anyone has called me that. The national teacher licked the corners of his mouth lightly and looked at the white-haired child with interest.
"It is rumored that the essence and blood of the people of the White Republic can make people immortal and beautify. If I take a sip every day, my face will be restored. ”
"You're a madman!"
The white-haired child's hand has been cut several times, and the pain makes it impossible to breathe, and now the national teacher is getting closer and closer, and his purpose is very simple, that is, he wants the blood of the white-haired child. It is obviously not enough to use the blood of a gray-haired child at one time, if it can be provided for a long time, then there will be a steady stream of blood every day.
"Ahh
A mournful cry ensued, circling throughout the tunnel, and the king outside the door could only hear a painful sound, and then the sound disappeared.
After the collection of a bottle of blood was completed, the national teacher glanced at the white-haired child, "Don't be fearless and struggle, take my elixir, then you have to listen to me." The more you struggle, the more painful you will be. ”
That's right, at this time, the white-haired child endured two kinds of pain, one was to resist and cause the elixir in his body to attack, and the other was a hard wound, which made him feel that his whole person was being evacuated.
After leaving, the national teacher appeared next to the king, and as soon as the king came up, he asked greedily, "What's wrong?"
The national teacher said softly, "The king doesn't have to worry, this child's blood is still not thick enough, and it needs to wait." "The national teacher said on the surface, but in fact, he didn't want to give this elixir to this king in his heart, the blood of the people of the White Republic of China can indeed make people immortal, and such a precious thing was wasted on a dying old man, he couldn't do it.
The king was a little disappointed when he heard this, because he felt that his deadline was running out.
"King, don't you know that there are still delicate palace maids in the palace?"
As soon as he mentioned this matter, the king had a headache, "National teacher, you have gone too far recently, and all the ministers have begun to talk about this king. ”
"Don't worry about them, when the time comes, you will all live forever, so what do you care about them. ”
"Recently, this king has been announcing the draft palace maids, and there must be so many girls with national beauty and fragrance recently. ”
"Good, not bad. You're doing a great job, King!"
"That Master Bai Ye..."
"Bai Ye, I will personally solve it, and when the time comes, let him be the medicine guide of the king's elixir. ”
