Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Case of the White Republic of China
Seeing the little boy like this, Mu Ling readily agreed, "Of course I can help you!" But where should we start now?"
Bai Ye frowned slightly, if the people of the White Republic really had something to do with Muchen Country. Then he can help.
But if the two have nothing to do with each other... Bai Ye didn't want to wade into this troubled water. After all, some things are not only time-consuming but also laborious. He's got a lot going on right now. So what else do you have to deal with the rest? That's good, Mu Ling agreed happily.
"Little mute, do you think it's okay?"
Bai Ye wanted to refute very much, but when he saw Mu Ling's face, he looked at the poor child again, so he only said strongly: "This matter is none of my business, if the two are related, it doesn't matter." ”
Mu Ling was very happy when she heard this.
"Sister, what do you mean by this sentence?"
"He means he'll help you!"
Bai Ye frowned, what he obviously wanted to express was as much as possible, but when it came to Mu Ling's mouth, it became an affirmation.
The little boy was overjoyed and thanked Bai Ye very much. This made Bai Ye unable to postpone it.
Several people continued to search for the people of the White Republic of China, but they still found nothing.
The midday sun is scorching, and the temperature gradually rises as you get closer to the desert area. The steamed buns, which are baked like steamers, must be cooked in a few seconds if there is an egg on the ground.
The visible heat was rising, and Mu Ling couldn't walk anymore, so she rested against the wall for a while.
"Could it be that the little mute is already gone?" Mu Ling panted and drooped, followed by a rapid sound of horses' hooves, which sounded at this moment.
Before Bai Ye could tell Mu Ling and the two children to leave, the four of them were surrounded.
"It's just a few of them!" One of the people who spoke on a horse was the one in charge, but he didn't expect him to find a helper.
The other one didn't know what kind of adult it was, but looking at the way the source of jurisdiction whispered, it must be that the other adult must be of a higher level than him.
"Master Zhang, what do you think of this beauty?"
Master Zhang observed it carefully, and looked Mu Ling up and down. He stroked his beard and said with a very satisfied smile: "Not bad, yes! If you contribute to the king, he will be happy, maybe you and I can be promoted!"
"Then thank you for the promotion!"
"Come on, catch these people!"
Mu Ling subconsciously retreated, her hand holding Bai Ye's hand tightly. Then Bai Ye muttered behind him: "Little mute, what should we do now?
Bai Ye didn't seem to be in a hurry, he muttered softly: "To solve the bell, you still need to tie the bell, if this king needs an elixir, I can meet him." ”
Bai Ye looked up at Lord Zhang, who had a fat head and big ears, and he didn't know how many people he had pitted and how much grain he had scraped.
"I wonder if you're still looking for the elixir?"
Master Zhang saw that he was a slim son, and he was handsome.
Say. ”
"I have the elixir here, but I don't know if the king is willing to see me?"
"Just because you have the elixir of life, you poor boy is funny!" the ruler obviously did not believe it.
Master Zhang was skeptical, so he asked, "What elixir do you have?" ”
"If the elixir of life could be shown to people at will, then my life would have been lost a long time ago!"
"And what proof do you have that you have the elixir?"
"It proves that there is, Xiaosheng is good at some spells, if you don't believe Xiaosheng, you can give it a try. Immediately after that, Bai Ye's sleeve waved, and the person in charge was slapped fiercely.
This time, the person in charge was furious, but next to him was Master Zhang, if he slapped him in the face, I am afraid there would be no tomorrow.
The person in charge covered his side face, and when Master Zhang saw it, he really couldn't believe it, so he rubbed his eyes and looked at it carefully.
"You, you take that hand off!"
The person in charge listened to Master Zhang's words, and gently took it down, and a bright red handprint was printed on his face, "This..."
"Quick, hurry up and invite this immortal back home!"
"Master Zhang, this is clearly a demon! This person must have been changed by a demon!"
Master Zhang looked back and took it out, "What kind of demon is not a demon, this is an immortal! An immortal has such a great ability! If it is dedicated to the king, when the time comes, the elixir of life will be practiced, if you think about our days again, I am afraid that glory and wealth will permeate the whole body in the future." ”
Mr. Zhang's thoughts are beautiful.
"Slow, Xiaosheng still has a request! If you want the elixir of life, you have to find medicinal materials to practice yourself, and of course, this waiter next to me must be indispensable. Bai Ye pointed to the woman beside him, Mu Ling.
"So what you mean?"
"I must let her stay by my side and help me!
"This..."The person in charge hesitated, after all, such a beautiful product, if it was missing, it would obviously be a pity. But the elixir of life is not something that can be practiced one day, if you want to soar as soon as possible, I am afraid that this woman must be indispensable.
The person in charge just wanted to refuse, but Master Zhang agreed.
"Then it's up to you!"
"Master Zhang, this is a little inappropriate!"
Master Zhang raised his hand and signaled, "Needless to say, it has already been decided. ”
"Someone!
Mu Ling turned to look at the two children, and then glanced at Bai Ye again.
"It seems that you two can't come with us!It's okay, wait here for my sister and brother to come back!I will definitely help you fulfill your wish when the time comes!" Mu Ling took out a bag from her sleeve.
"There's some scraps of silver in there! It should be enough to feed you for a month and a half. You must hide it well, and don't lose these things! Live well until we come back!"
"Sister..."When the little boy reluctantly pulled Mu Ling, now he couldn't say even if he wanted to.
After Mu Ling entered the Jiaozi, she looked behind from time to time, and the two children were getting farther and farther away until they had disappeared from Mu Ling's sight.
"Don't look at it, you can't go down if you look at it again!"
"Little mute, what the hell is going on? You can refine the elixir?"
Bai Ye gently covered Mu Ling's mouth, suggesting that she be quiet.
Then he gestured on her hand, and the general content was as follows: Deceitful.
"No!" Mu Ling wanted to speak and stopped, her frightened expression permeated her entire face, she couldn't imagine that the little mute was actually deceiving. The point is that he also lied that he would refine the elixir of life.
Mu Ling suddenly felt a little helpless thinking about it, if human beings could face the elixir of life, then why did they need immortals! I knew that the moment the little mute said it, he quickly let him hold back.
"So what's next?"
"I don't know. Bai Ye looked very calm at this moment, and his face didn't matter.
"I don't know," the little mute said easily, and the three of them dismissed her without knowing.
"If this is the case, then we will be like a wolf in a tiger's den! If the truth is learned at that time, the king of the Muchen Kingdom will surely scrape our skin. ”
"Well, I'm not afraid, they all say that the bell needs to be tied to the bell, this king has a lot of suspicions! Presumably, the matter of the White Republic must be caused by him. ”
"What does he have to do with the people of the White Republic of China?"
Bai Ye gently leaned against Mu Ling's ear, and then said very quietly: "Bai Minguo, there are rumors of immortality. ”
"What do you mean..."
"It's just speculation, maybe that's because of it! But I can't say what offended. ”
"According to you, we really need to enter the south and approach the king!"
"Relax your mentality, as long as I am alive, you will not lose a single hair, if they move you, I will definitely wash the entire Muchen Country in blood!" Bai Ye said very quietly, but very firmly, and a warm current crossed Mu Ling's heart after hearing this.
Mu Ling nodded silently.
When the two of them arrived at the southern palace, it was a world away from the north.
Whether it is the climate, vegetables, fruits or crops, there are natural differences between them and the north. For those who live here, the conditions must be extraordinary.
This palace is also relatively exquisitely repaired, and it seems that a lot of labor has been spent.
As soon as he entered the palace, Bai Ye was taken away directly, and when the king of the Muchen Kingdom heard that there was an elixir, he hurriedly came to greet Bai Ye.
When Bai Ye saw this king, the king looked haggard, his long white hair fluttered behind him, and he looked a little old.
"Xiao Sheng's name is Bai Ye, and he has seen the king!"
"Come, please, it is said that you have the ability to refine the elixir of life, and you also have a recipe for refining the elixir of life?"
"Exactly!" Bai Ye did not refuse.
"Then from now on, how about you refine the elixir for this king?
"I'm afraid Xiaosheng can't be entrusted by the king, I'm tired today, and I need to rest for one night, and we will talk about it tomorrow. ”
"How can you speak, dare to disobey the king's will!" the father-in-law on the side reprimanded.
"It's okay, it's okay, this king has been looking for so many years, it's just one night, and this time this king can still afford to wait! Then you can rest first, tomorrow! Tomorrow will immediately refine this elixir of immortality for this king." ”
Bai Ye readily agreed.
After Bai Ye returned to the room where he was placed, Mu Ling stepped forward and asked, "Little mute, didn't the king do anything to you?"
Bai Ye happily sat down and took a sip of tea, "I'm afraid things are not as simple as I imagined." This king is a little weird!"
"What's going on? little mute? ”
"The king of this kingdom has no doubt about my ability, what if I deceive him?"
"Didn't that Master Zhang already see your strength? I guess he had already told the king everything, so he didn't doubt you. ”
"That's just some deceptive little tricks, how can I spell? I'm not an immortal, besides, refining the pill is a very important matter, and the king of the Muchen Kingdom has no scruples at all. So agreed. ”
"It's a bit wrong according to what you say! If I were the king of this country, I would definitely want to live a few more years, and if I casually invited a person who said that he could refine the pill, it was indeed a bit inappropriate!
"I don't know about this, but for the time being, the two of us don't have to worry about our lives. We can use this identity to walk around this palace and see if we can find some clues!"
Bai Ye's words fell, and he stared at Mu Ling.
"What's wrong? Is there anything on my face?"
"You help me get something. ”
"What?"
"Is there still a steamed bun?"
"Yes. ”
Bai Ye took the steamed bun handed by Mu Ling, and then said, "Help me get some sticky plants or things! ”
"Huh?"
Mu Ling was very puzzled, why did the little mute want these things?
"Just do what I say!"
"Alright, then I'll go out and look for it now!"
I just wanted to go out, but I was stopped by Bai Ye.
"Do you want to go out like this to attract flowers and butterflies?"
Mu Ling touched her face, then looked in the mirror again, and looked at the little mute suspiciously, "Can't you go out to meet people like this?"
Bai Ye said slowly, "If you want to be like today, maybe anyone can take a fancy to you!"
Mu Ling thinks about it, it seems to make so much sense...
"What should I do with that little mute?"
A wicked smile appeared at the corner of Bai Ye's mouth, and then slowly approached Mu Ling.
"I have an exclusive secret camouflage gouache here. If you paint it, no one will beat you. ”
Bai Ye gently wiped it on Mu Ling's face, and finally nodded with satisfaction.
Mu Ling turned around and looked in the mirror, with a look of horror, "My little dumb man!
"Isn't it pretty? It won't be liked. ”
Mu Ling is embarrassed, I'm afraid of this... It's going to be spurned.
Mu Ling's face was turned black by Bai Ye, and there was a mass that looked like a fetal mark, which was very ugly on his face.
"Perfect masterpieces are carefully carved! you are my one-of-a-kind masterpiece. ”
"Phew, little dumb, you can pull it down!"
"Alright, you go out now and help me find something sticky!"
Mu Ling looked at her makeup and was a little angry, so she quickly left the room, when she walked in this palace, she didn't dare to go too far, after all, if the huge palace was lost, she would definitely remember the little dumb jokes non-stop.
So she searched around the house.
Looking at the orderly team and some palace maids, Mu Ling felt that there seemed to be something else here.
Walking around, there was nothing sticky to be found, and Mu Ling sighed and sat around the flower bed.
Then, before she knew it, she saw an aloe vera.
The aloe vera looks green, and the things inside are relatively viscous, and I don't know if this is suitable for the little mute. So Mu Ling picked a piece. But thinking that the little mute said that it would be varied, Mu Ling continued to look for it.
At this time, a kitten jumped around the flower bed, which was immediately attractive, and Mu Ling wanted to chase after it, but who knew that the kitten ran too fast.
Two fathers-in-law appeared on the other side, and the two of them seemed to be running for the kitten, and the kitten stopped for a while, half-squatting on the other side of the flower garden, and didn't know what they were doing.
The two fathers-in-law saw that the kitten was not running away, so they wanted to reach out and grab it, but who expected that the kitten jumped out with a spirit.
The two fathers-in-law were caught off guard and pounced, and then their faces were full of wet and sticky soil, Mu Ling held back his smile when he saw this scene, thinking that he also wanted to trick the little mute, didn't he want all kinds of sticky things? Mu Ling saw that the soil was more sticky, and it was mixed with the cat's pee, and the soil felt even more sticky!
After Mu Ling waited for the two to leave, she found some tools, and she could not get the mud up with her bare hands, so she found a large leaf, and then put the dirt on a stick.
Looking at the results that she was satisfied with, Mu Ling was simply overjoyed, this time she had to be a good tricky little dumb!
Now there are two sticky things in his hands, and there is still a gap between them and all kinds of things, so Mu Ling continues to look for them.
When it comes to sticky things, there must be those sticky foods, such as pastries or porridge.
But the key is that Mu Ling didn't dare to leave too far, so she could only silently look around.
But the emperor lived up to his wishes, and a small maid passed by here, carrying a lunch box in her hand.
Mu Ling hurriedly stepped forward, "Dare to ask where my sister is from?"
"You are..."
"I am a guest who has been invited, a waiter who has not been refined by the king to become immortal. ”
"Oh, hello. Is there anything wrong?"
Mu Ling's gaze fell on the lunch box and asked, "Is this going to deliver food or?"
"Oh no, I'm about to go back to the Imperial Dining Room, which the owners have already used. ”
When Mu Ling heard this, she asked happily, "Can you give me a little charity?"
"Little master, you're kidding, these are leftovers, if you want to eat, you can go to the imperial dining room. ”
"Sister, don't you misunderstand me, I just need a little bit. Besides, you don't need these things, and I don't have to go to the imperial dining room. Mu Ling said with a grin, she didn't need these leftovers, mainly needed a little sticky.
"Oh well. ”
