On the day when the Dragon King's group returned, Zhu Lao and the empress asked about all the relevant details. Through their exploration, perhaps the sad news can already be confirmed.

All of a sudden, the faces of Zhu Lao and the empress were a little gray, Zhu Lao's hands trembled, and there seemed to be endless grief on his face; the empress hid her face and wept, choked up and couldn't speak for a while. After a long time, Old Zhu sighed helplessly, and the expression on his face became more and more solemn.

"Looks like there's only one way to try!" he said, the corners of his mouth twitching.

"What way? As long as we can save him, we must try whatever the solution, even if he ...... It's really gone, but I'm going to at least find his body and bring him back. The empress said firmly, full of unquestionable looks.

Some people have left too many trajectories and legends in their lives, and even if one day, he disappears or really dies, it is inevitable that many people will remember him.

At noon on the same day, Zhu Lai took the empress to a special place, which is Cuiping Mountain in the southwest of Beijing, the mountain road is rugged and winding, and there are few people all year round, but the stone slab mountain road is planted with pines and cypresses on both sides, and it is evergreen all year round, but it adds a lot of green.

Climbing the stairs, I walked for nearly an hour, and I could barely see a Taoist hall in the depths of the mountains and forests, and the three big characters of bright silver and silver on the portal - Wuji Temple.

Wuji is a Taoist term, and there is a saying in "Lao Tzu", "Knowing its whiteness and guarding its black is the world's style." For the world's style, Changde is not distant, return to Wuji", Wuji is the beginning of all things, is chaos, formless and imageless state, and later there are often people who unify the "Tao" and "Wuji", there is a later saying, Wuji gives birth to Taiji, Taiji gives birth to two Yi, two Yi gives birth to four images, and four images give birth to gossip.

In the name of Wuji, gradually the extraordinary here. However, the closer he got to the Dao Hall, the more gloomy Zhu Lao's face became.

After continuing to walk for nearly an hour, the two finally climbed to the top of the mountain and entered the Taoist temple, the deep mountain Taoist temple, which is a place for Qing cultivation, so although the Taoist temple is very large, there are only a few people. In addition to the two boys with their hair in a bun standing at the door, there were only three or four Taoist priests in the Taoist temple, sitting alone with their knees crossed.

There is a sculpture of Sanqing standing in the Taoist temple, the Sanqing can be said to be the authentic of Taoism, people who are familiar with the romance of the gods understand, the legend is that Hongjun became holy with the way of heaven, and then opened the altar with Zixiao Palace to preach, and Sanqing is his disciple, the so-called "one to pass on three friends, two teachings to explain the truncation", it is worth it is Sanqing.

Zhu Lao glanced at everyone, frowned, and said in a low voice: "Let Liu Yuanheng come out, just say that Lao Tzu has something to visit......"

Unexpectedly, before Zhu Lao finished speaking, he saw a bearded old man walking over from the side hall, his eyes were slightly narrowed, he was wearing a green python-colored robe, holding a white jade whisk dust, looking quite dusty, fairy wind bones.

"Last night, I watched the sky at night, the southeast Venus of the palace was shining, and the lord and distinguished guests came to the door, sure enough, Zhu Lao personally visited, my Taoist temple is full of brilliance, I haven't seen you for decades, you haven't changed at all?" The old man chuckled, and there seemed to be a bit of mockery in his expression.

"You have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, come on, the tea in the study is ready, come with me." ”

As he spoke, he waved the dust, turned around and left.

Zhu Lao shook his head slightly, his face was obviously a little gloomy, he glanced back at the empress, and said in a low voice: "Let's go!"

In the study, three tea sets were really placed, all of which were full of tea, it seemed that what the old man said was true, and everything was indeed ready.

Zhu Lao waved his hand, suggesting that the empress sit down, but he didn't have any politeness, picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"Well, yes, the best enlightenment tea, it seems that you old fellow is prepared. ”

The so-called enlightenment tea, is not the legend of a sip can help to comprehend the holy products of heaven and earth, that mysterious and mysterious things, now few people are willing to believe, but this tea is really precious tight, there is a hundred-year-old tea tree on Cuiping Mountain, standing on the edge of the cliff, all year round by the mountain wind, washed by the mountain rain, scorched by the sun, so a little sluggish, but the leaves of the tea tree, after drying to make tea, but especially fragrant and delicious, so it is nicknamed "enlightenment tea". The annual output of this kind of tea is less than one catty, and it is very dangerous to pick, so there are not many people who can have the fate to taste this tea.

"Am I still going to hide it, but I'm curious about what can make you find this mountain for yourself. The Taoist priest smiled softly, a playful expression on his face.

"Alas......" sighed, Zhu Lao took another sip of tea, and then said in a low voice: "If it weren't for Lao Tzu's reluctance, you think I would be willing to go to your door? As he spoke, his eyes froze, and his expression couldn't help but feel a little cold.

"Liu Yuanheng, Lao Tzu has something important to find you, no matter what, you have to help me!"

"Liu Yuanheng?" The empress's face was suddenly stunned, surprised, she never imagined that Zhu Lao had worked tirelessly to come to Baishan to find Liu Yuanheng.

"He is Zhou Shaobin's grandfather, and he has a deep grudge against Qin Jue, and now he comes to beg him, I'm afraid it's a bit ridiculous!" muttered in a low voice, and the empress couldn't help but think of a rumor from a long time ago.

At that time, she was still living in the courtyard of the mountain behind the Dragon Hall, she knew that Zhu Lao originally had a son, his name was Zhu Guohui, who could be described as a hero who became famous at a young age, but it was a pity that the hero was short-lived, and sighed in vain, and Liu Yuanheng's daughter Liu Jinyun was originally engaged to Zhu Guohui, but unfortunately there was a mission Zhu Guohui died in battle, and later Liu Jinyun married Zhou Nianyuan.

It's just that this is just a rumor, she was still young at that time, and she didn't know the details at all, but judging from the reactions of the two in front of her, maybe there was really some special origin, otherwise, how could the dignified old Zhu get together with a feng shui master.

"What's important?hahaha......" Liu Yuanheng smiled coldly and read in a low voice: "The Xuan Room is seeking talents to visit the ministers, and Jia Shengcai is even more incoherent. Pity the front seat in the middle of the night, and don't ask the common people to ask the ghosts and gods. It's really unprecedented, so you can come to the door and beg me, can you come once, and tell me something!"

"Cast another spell of induction, help me find someone, I want to know if he's dead, or alive, if ...... If he is alive, then where is he?" Old Zhu said heavily, but the expression on his face was very firm.

"Who makes you pay so much attention to it, and deserves my trick of attraction? You know my rules!" Liu Yuanheng asked curiously, a chuckle rising at the corner of his mouth.

"He is like Guohui to me, so I hope you can help me find him in the same way that I found Guohui's body back then!" Zhu Lao said in a deep voice, lowering his head and tasting tea again, but this time, his hand holding tea trembled even more, but only half a cup of tea was left, and it actually spilled a little.

"Like Zhu Guohui, hehe, what kind of tricks are you playing, old thing?" frowned, and a hint of cunning appeared on his face.

"You know my rules, and you know the price of using the method of attraction, so after the matter is completed, I want to borrow Qingzhou Ding March, how about it?" Liu Yuanheng chuckled, and there was indeed a little flutter between his eyebrows.

The corners of Zhu Lao's mouth twitched, and he was silent.

"Qingzhou Ding, what is that?" the empress on the side couldn't help but ask, her face full of doubts.

"Hehe, female doll, you still don't know a lot of things in this world. Everyone is rumored that Yuwang Jiuding is a legend, which has long been eliminated in the world, but unfortunately a few people know that the Qingzhou Ding in the Jiuding suddenly appeared in the past 30 years, and now it is placed in your place. ”

Sure enough, it turned out to be the Qingzhou Ding in the Nine Dings, and the empress couldn't help but gasp. The mystery of Jiuding is a very secret thing since ancient times, according to legend, in the early years of the Xia Dynasty, King Yu of Xia divided the world into Kyushu, so that the Kyushu state pastor contributed bronze, casting Jiuding, symbolizing Kyushu, the famous mountains and rivers of Kyushu in the country, strange things engraved in the body of Jiuding, with a tripod symbolizing a state, and Jiuding concentrated in the capital of the Xia Dynasty. Among the documents found in later generations, there are also records about Jiuding in the Shang and Zhou dynasties. It's a pity that when Qin Shi Huang destroyed the Six Kingdoms and unified the world, Jiuding did not know its whereabouts, and it has since become a major mystery in history.

Legend Jiuding suppressed the luck of Kyushu, is a sacred thing, the emperor has always been the capital of the can't ask for, I didn't expect that after a few years ago, the Qingzhou Ding in the Jiuding actually appeared, and the hidden families are also vying to enter the world, is this world really going to change?

Thinking of this, the empress couldn't help but sigh lightly: "It seems that this world is really not as simple as it seems, Jiuding, witch doctor, and peach...... , Maybe it was all nonsense to look at immortality before, but now it seems that all this is not just a vain, otherwise, so many ancient Holy Lords and Ming Jun spared no effort to pursue, is it really just a fear of death? Although in the end it will be empty after all, but maybe something has changed. ”

That night, Liu Yuanheng opened the altar in front of the Wuji Temple, the mourning hall stepped down, there were several people standing on the left and right, all of them were wearing robes, holding a white flag on the left, holding a wooden sword on the right, the wind on the top of the mountain shouted, the wind invaded, but the bright moon hung high, the stars were shining, the seven stars shone on the Beidou, and the golden light was swaying in the Wuji Temple.

After a while, Liu Yuanheng finally moved, pinching the lotus flower, babbling and chanting, stepping on strange steps under his feet, and began to cast spells around the spiritual altar.

The golden sword was raised, a few grains of rice were sprinkled, and with a wave of the arm, a few soybeans were scattered; he wrote hard, worshipping the ancestors of the Three Qing Dynasties and the ghosts and gods of the underworld; he pinched a candle flame with his fingertips, lit the yellow paper with the eight characters of Qin's birthday, and dripped a drop of red blood on the astrolabe......

Call......

The cold wind struck violently, and a puff of green smoke rolled up from the incense burner.

Burst!

A mouthful of sesame oil spewed out, burning rapidly in the candle flame, and then I saw Liu Yuanheng swinging his sword and pointing at a star in the sky.

"It turned out to be him...... , Old man Zhu, you are playing a good trick!" Liu Yuanheng's face changed significantly, and there seemed to be a little anger in his expression, but soon, he saw him smile contemptuously and shook his head.

"The stars are dim, the guest stars are bright, the call of the Lord is fierce, and he is afraid of death. Wait......"

Suddenly, there was a sudden chaos on the astrolabe, and I saw that the faint general star had disappeared out of thin air and was no longer visible, and the guest star next to it gradually dispersed and moved sideways in all directions. Liu Yuanheng's face changed greatly, and he was full of shock.

"The main star disappears, and the guest star retreats, how can this be the ......?"

Before the words fell, I heard a thunderbolt hanging down out of thin air, and it was bombarding in front of Liu Yuanheng, shattering the entire altar and completely turning it into powder.

But it wasn't all over yet, and a burst of dark clouds quickly converged, accumulating thicker and thicker in the sky, and it seemed that it was about to be enveloped in the whole area.

"Heavenly Master Sect's method of changing one's life against the sky, damn the car fox, you actually forcibly deceived the heavens, Old Man Zhu, you have hurt me this time!" His face was cold for a while, and it was obviously a little terrifying.

At this moment, suddenly a hao-haired old man stepped over, he held the dust whisk, waved it lightly, held a piece of rune paper in his hand, whispered twice, and then moved his fingertips to ignite the rune paper.

Unexpectedly, his actions were really effective, and the black mist really dispersed, and everything disappeared invisibly.

Liu Yuanheng breathed a long sigh of relief, turned around and bowed to the old man: "Thank you Xuanyuan Daoyou for coming to the rescue, if it weren't for that rune paper, I'm afraid my life would be dead today." ”

The old man didn't speak, just smiled at him and nodded, he turned his head and glanced at Zhu Lao and the empress, and smiled softly: "This person is no longer in the chess game, either a dead son or an abandoned son, if it is an abandoned son, unless he appears by himself, others will not be able to find him at all." ”

"Is there no news at all?" asked the empress.

"You have also seen before, the star is extremely dark, even if he does not die, I am afraid that it is almost over, everything is decided, no one can force it, you go back!" the old man sighed, turned and left.

"Is there really no hope?" said the empress, and she couldn't help but cry bitterly.

"Liu Yuanheng, who is this person? Dao art looks even more mysterious than you. Zhu Lao asked in a low voice.

He ...... Hehe, he is the patriarch of the Xuanyuan family, Xuanyuan Zhen, and now his granddaughter and my grandson are about to get engaged, so our two families can be regarded as in-laws, and this time he came over for Qingzhou Ding. ”

As he spoke, he waved his hand at the two of them.

"You go, I won't send it, don't forget to send Qingzhou Ding, the old immortal, you almost killed me......"
