Hongchen got into it, and the others stared honestly, not moving for a long time.

Zeng Nanguang collapsed on the ground, panting.

A messy thought came out of the shop's mind - his own store is amazing, he can go straight to the underworld, I don't know if I can visit it!

If his master knew what he was thinking, he would probably have to die of anger.

Hongchen had only been gone for a quarter of an hour, and when he came out again, he was holding a black crockpot in his hand.

The crockpot doesn't look much different from the kind of jar that farmers have used for decades.

The group, especially the forbidden army, all wanted to speak and stopped—is the elixir in the world so worthless? It only takes a quarter of an hour to go to the underworld and get an elixir that can make people immortal?

Hongchen didn't care about these people, hurriedly entered the palace, didn't pay attention to the broken mouths of those imperial doctors, didn't even look at the emperor, and fed them directly and quickly to the queen.

When feeding, she was calm and calm on her face, and there was still a trace of hesitation in her heart, this kind of thing is just a legend, whether it is useful or not, and whether there will be side effects, who knows? However, she used to try her luck and never had a problem going abroad, and now she can only hope that the queen will be blessed.

"Ahem, ahem!"

Their luck is really good, a mouthful of medicinal soup in, the queen opened her eyes, still her breath was weak, but she was conscious, the emperor cautiously took a step forward, but suddenly stopped.

The queen didn't look at him either, only holding Hongchen's hand: "What did you give me to drink?" A bitter tea taste. ”

Hongchen smiled and whispered: "It's the tea made by Meng Po, and I usually drink it to warm up." ”

The underworld is cold. Those ghosts occasionally need yang energy to replenish their bodies, most of them drink this kind of tea made from dragon grass, she went down and grabbed the teapot of the little woman next to the bridge, the girl is doing Meng Po's errand, isn't this Meng Po's tea?

"It's good if it's Meng Po soup...... Just now I was in a dream, and I felt someone calling me, as if it was my mother...... When I am a fool, no matter what I encounter in my dreams, I must hold my mind steady, and I must not listen to the words of those ghostly things. It's common sense. ”

"Yes. Niangniang is doing well, if there are still messy things in your dreams, don't pay attention to it, and take care of it. Recuperate with peace of mind. ”

The queen smiled in response. I said a few words in a daze. Slept again.

Hongchen breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately Niangniang was not a layman, if she had changed to an ordinary person. I can't say I'm dead now.

However, it is really someone who is playing ghosts, and it is possible that he has fallen under some evil spell.

The emperor waved his hand and let everyone go down, King Li and they turned to leave, but Yu Yi was a little reluctant, he was rare to be so close to her, and his breath smelled each other, as if he could hold her in his arms as soon as he stretched out his hand.

Hongchen got up, gently took a look, pushed Yu Yi out of the door, and walked away quickly out of the palace gate, without saying anything, and couldn't say it, shouldn't say it, the most important thing now is to solve the problem on Niangniang.

Outside the palace

The Qi family's courtyard in the capital has been searched more than ten times, and even the rough maid has been questioned, but there is no clue.

Commander Chen was almost blind, and a note from the county lord came from behind, with only a few words - go to the Qi family's house.

Old Man Qi was stunned: "The sword fell into my hands, no more than two days, even if I lost something, it could only be lost in the capital, why did I go home?" ”

Yushan Qi's family, but it has not received foreign visitors for more than ten years.

The Qi family is on the top of the Jade Mountain, and there is no access, go in or out once, and walk in a place where there is no avenue, at least half a day. Because everyone in the family, including the servants, has a good kung fu, and no matter how bad it is, they are not afraid to walk the mountain road, the Qi family has never thought of building a road, and the Qi family is not so easy to go.

Their family used to claim to have eighteen sons, everyone knew occult arts, and arranged a large array to protect the mountain in front of the house on the mountain, and ordinary people were not allowed to enter the door, but now although it is declining, there are only a few children of the Qi family in this generation, and there are only two descendants, and because the Duke of Qi is still alive, he can still support the façade, and when the Duke of Qi goes, I am afraid that a good Qi family will also disappear.

Even the Yao family is no longer against the Qi family now, and Grandmaster Yao has sighed in private, the grievances between the two families may be difficult to extend to the next generation, and I don't know if the Yao family of the next generation can find a good opponent.

If you have no opponent, you are always very lonely, especially the masters.

The Qi family declined, but the children of the family were still quite proud, and most of them were reluctant to go out and only lived in seclusion at home.

Old man Qi is a very enlightened person in the family, he lives in the capital all the year round, and he also knows the temperament of the family, those in his family, whether they are old or young, are very arrogant, and they don't give face to the court, even if it is the county lord in person, they don't pay attention to it, and it is a bit inappropriate for people to come to the door.

But at this time, he obviously couldn't refuse.

Hongchen's horse is fast enough, and Qi Gong's side, although he is also in a hurry, but there are more people, and there is a little delay in walking, plus the small pendant does not know when it was lost, it takes time to find, and before they reach the foot of Yushan, the two sides converge together.

"County Lord!"

Commander Chen was also relieved when he saw Hongchen, now he has a heavy responsibility, and he has been worried, with the county lord here, he is finally more relaxed.

Everyone came to the foot of the jade mountain and walked along the trail for half a day, there was a cliff on the top, the mountain road was extremely steep, and everyone was tired and out of breath.

Those people in the forbidden army trembled with their arms, but they couldn't even hold the sword in their hands, and the clouds were thick in front of them, and there was no trace of the Qi family's old mansion.

Qi Gong was followed by seven or eight small servants, all of whom looked very energetic, and they were also dressed in short clothes, dark blue cotton clothes, which were much more energetic than Qi Gong's coarse cloth, and they were muttering together at this time, and the corners of their eyes and eyebrows were more or less contemptuous, their gang of people, since they looked down on the court, although they were not easy to ignore on the surface, the meaning that could be revealed from head to toe could be detected by anyone.

The one at the head glanced at Hongchen and laughed with a snort.

"Ahem."

A young man next to him pinched his waist vigorously: "That's the county lord, be respectful." ”

"I know she's the county lord. I heard that he is still a spiritual master, and he is quite capable. The young man at the head was giggling and talking in a flirtatious tone.

To say that those spirit masters in the capital are really getting better and better at holding stinky feet, and a little girl can boast to the sky.

Hey, okay, if you don't do it, you have to please the court, and you have to agree with the court, what's wrong!

Since there has been a Qi family. None of the children in the family participated in the spiritual master assessment.

"Our Qi family has always been out of Yushan. It is also well water with the imperial court, and it is good now, if you say that you will search, you will search, and treat our old man as a thief! ”

The old man sighed. Not much to talk about. It's even worse to say. He himself did not have much reverence for the imperial court, but he had a steady and gentle temperament, whether he was a dignitary or a pawn of a peddler. There will never be half a point of rudeness, and at this point, the people of the Qi family will not be able to do well.

Hongchen glanced over, but didn't care, to say that these people despise the court is nothing, she doesn't have much awe of the emperor, but now it is not the court that is despised, it is herself, then it doesn't feel very good.

Suddenly, the wind rose.

The mountains are full of sand and rocks.

A small guy on the Qi family's side pushed the people around him, glanced at Hongchen, turned his head and said, "County Lord, do you want us to find a sedan chair to carry you?" ”

The others turned their heads one after another, but after all, they still didn't dare to stay on Hongchen's face too much.

The group of them muttered and whispered, but they did not mean to hide their shame.

Hongchen is indeed a beauty embryo, or a stunning beauty. 、

Not only is she good-looking, but also has a good foundation, the beauties are all raised by gold and jade, why are most of the women in the family beautiful, in addition to the beauty of their parents and grandparents, they **** brocade clothes, read poetry and books, practice etiquette, go in and out of the group of servants, and do the heaviest work, but it is just a few sewing needles and threads, directing the cook to cook a few delicious side dishes, year after year, it is difficult to think about not being beautiful.

Therefore, in the rich and noble land of the capital, it is not too difficult to see beauties, although the red dust is stunning, it will not make people lose their temper.

But leaving that nest of wealth, it's a big difference.

The Qi family is not poor, but the Qi family is not in the court, but in the rivers and lakes, and most of the women in the family are women in the rivers and lakes.

It is difficult for the children of the family to go out, and now when they see a woman like Hongchen at first glance, they will inevitably lose ground.

However, their reaction was unpleasant.

Hongchen couldn't see that this was a sign of greed for her beauty and very unpleasant, just when these guys buried people, smiled slightly, and shook his head lightly.

"The mountain road is steep, and the sedan chair ride is too slow, so it doesn't bother."

Standing slightly, stretching out his hand to test the wind, Hongchen took out a piece of rune paper from his purse, covered it in the palm of his hand, and said with a smile: "Wangqingfeng sent a message to the land lord for me, Hongchen wants to borrow the spirit beast to travel." ”

With that, he lit the rune paper.

The rune paper flew away with the wind, flying farther and farther, Hongchen took out another wine gourd, opened the lid, and gently sprinkled it on the ground.

"Prepare a little thin wine, and the land lord will appreciate the light."

Everyone around her turned to look at her.

Those people in the Qi family also lowered their heads, smiling rather than smiling, and felt that this county lord was quite interesting.

Suddenly, the breeze rose again, as if in response to Hongchen's words.

Old Man Qi didn't even raise his eyebrows, only to hear a sound of rustling from the mountain, and all kinds of footsteps sounded.

The mountains and forests seem to come alive all at once!

"Ah, look!"

A man from the forbidden army exclaimed, and when everyone heard the sound and looked, they saw a hissing in the forest in the distance, and many birds flew out.

Among them, there is a white crane with wings spread and two arms long, with an elegant body, light movements, and snow-white fur, which is full of fairy spirit at a glance.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Such a big white crane, they have lived in the mountains for all these years, and they have never seen it.

In particular, when it flies head, countless birds of different colors follow behind, and the momentum is extremely spectacular.

The white crane flew all the way to Hongchen, hovered in mid-air, let out a long roar, and then fell, gently rubbing her arm, and the cry was very docile.

Hongchen smiled, reached out and touched its feathers, and the white crane also obediently and skillfully touched it, and also bent down its body, and it was a clear whistle, full of joy.

"Then I'll go first. Everyone, come on. ”

Hongchen sat on it, and instantly rose to the sky, and countless birds flew into the air, like stars holding the moon, and cranes flew towards the mountain with Hongchen.

The air currents that were set off blew down countless dead branches and leaves, and smashed other people's heads and faces.

Everyone: "......"

Old Man Qi sighed: "This method is only stronger than the beast control technique of the Northern Yan Imperial Family, not weak, not something that can be found in the world, hey." Let's sit in the well and watch the sky all day long. I can't look down on the spiritual master canonized by the imperial court, but I don't know that if I am always claustrophobic in the mountains, I don't communicate with people. Someday. The inheritance is severed. ”

Not to mention other families. Let's just say that the Xia family has been thriving, but the Qi family has sunset.

The Qi family is compared to the Xia family. The inheritance is longer, more free, the strength is stronger, and the higher is higher, but the descendants of all generations are eating the old book, relying on the prestige of the ancestors to eat, but the Xia family is stronger than the generation, and there are many capable people, that is, one day in the future, because the WTO is too deep, involved in court disputes, there are signs of extinction, but as long as there are seeds left, it will never be inherited.

They live deep in the mountains, so they are naturally very safe, but the peerless learning inherited from the clan has been broken a lot, and not many people can learn it, and that little thing is probably far behind others outside.

Hongchen didn't know what the Qi family thought, but the taste of flying with the crane was no better, not only fast, but also surrounded by many birds, blocking the gale, only the breeze came slowly, blowing the hair, the long sleeves fluttered, and there was really a little taste of feathering and ascending to the immortals.

There are countless beasts in the mountains and forests rushing to escort, Hongchen is rare in his heart, so he patted the head of the white crane to show encouragement, and when he heard it, he was even more energetic, flying higher, more stable, and singing all the way.

I saw the old house of the Qi family with blue bricks and green tiles from afar.

Hongchen rode the fairy bird down, and the white crane didn't like to get close to mortals, so when she fell to the ground, she wandered in the air three times before she left with her head held high.

"What people!"

When the family caretaker heard the movement, his face was shocked, and he found it in front of him.

Hongchen walked over, took out a post, and handed it to the other party: "Rong An came here at the behest of His Majesty, and if he has an urgent matter, he hopes to pass it on." ”

That family Ding was very incredible, glared at Hongchen several times, and didn't know how to react for a while, so he could only hesitate first: "Wait a minute." ”

Turn around and go.

He disappeared in a flash, showing that the Qi family's mountain protection array was quite doorway.

Hongchen's eyes flashed, he looked over with interest, and nodded silently.

The family Ding trotted all the way, and as soon as he rushed back, he bumped into a young man in a green robe, and immediately stopped, "Young Master Xu." ”

"What's the matter, so in such a hurry?"

"Back to the young master, this, there is a woman who comes to the door, claiming to be under the emperor's command, and the little one is trying to go in and pass it on."

The young man was stunned for a moment, his face changed slightly, but he recovered in an instant, and sneered: "There is a woman? Also under the emperor's dictation, I also said that I came at the mouth of the Jade Emperor, don't care about these inexplicable people, go back and do your business. ”

The family wanted to speak again and again, but the young man was obviously quite majestic, and he nodded honestly.

As soon as he left, the young man looked around, turned a corner, walked to the backyard, went straight to the west wing, pushed it away and shouted, "Mother, mother." ”

"Xu'er, what's the matter!"

As soon as the curtain was opened, a ******** man about forty years old came out of the inner room, with a slight sweat on his forehead and a slightly pale face.

"Mother, someone outside said that it was sent by the imperial court, could it be, could it be that thing!"

frowned, and smiled for a while: "How come, it's just a small object, we brought it back from the capital with a spirit magpie, and the speed is extremely fast, even if someone finds something wrong and wants to track it down, it can't be traced to us." ”

The young man was silent.

sighed: "It shouldn't have involved your uncle, but this matter is very important, we have to leave a way back, and as a last resort, we have to sacrifice your uncle, he is so old, he should do his part for my family with his crippled body." ”

The young man nodded heavily.

"As for the people from outside, whether they are sent by the imperial court or not, they have nothing to do with you, and the old lady will naturally deal with it."

At this moment, there was a sudden thumping sound in the house.

The young man's face changed suddenly, with a panicked expression on his face, and the beautiful woman's face was not very good-looking, so she pushed him a few times: "You go, don't come if it's okay." Let's just say that I am sick, and I am afraid that I will be sick to you. ”

After taking a deep breath, this person pretended to be indifferent, and slowly went to the room to greet the old lady.

The old lady of the Qi family is the sister-in-law of the Duke of Qi, with silver hair, a kind face, and the same simplicity, but she is very lenient with the juniors.

As soon as Qi Xu came in, he was tired of being coquettish under the old lady's knees: "Grandma." Xiaoya is too much. I am also not allowed to eat meat, I am a man, and I practice martial arts all day long, how can I do it without eating meat. ”

The old lady was very happy: "I will talk about her when I turn around." How can you not let us eat meat. It's fasting. It's not your turn to grow a child. ”

As he was talking, a shout came from outside: "What person! ”

"Rong An is instructed by the Long Live Lord, please see Old Madam Qi."

The voice fell. There was no movement outside for a long time.

The old lady's face was gloomy all at once, and she was equally at a loss in her heart.

The Qi family has nothing to do with the eight poles of the imperial court, what did the envoys of the emperor Lao'er do, although he was surprised in his heart, he still ordered someone to open the door.

Hongchen climbed the steps and came in generously.

The old lady is over seventy years old, she is an old man, and she is willing to salute, but Qi Xu suddenly turned cold and snorted: "The court? What is the so-called reason for your envoy to come? ”

Hongchen didn't go around the bush: "A thing that is urgently needed by the imperial court was lost in the hands of the old man Qi, His Majesty specially ordered us to find it, and I hope that the old lady will help you one or two." ”

Qi Xu's face changed suddenly, and he was gloomy in an instant: "Please be cautious, this is to accuse me of being a thief when the Qi family is not successful?" Our Qi family has always been law-abiding, does the court want to force the trumped-up charges on our heads? There are so many people who handle it, how can I insist that it is my uncle's fault? ”

This is not a law-abiding statement at all.

Hongchen was not angry, and raised his eyebrows: "It seems that Qi Gongzi already knows the beginning and the end, otherwise how can it be said that there are many people who handle it?" ”

Qi Xu's face was even more ugly: "Hmph, my uncle is old, it is inevitable that he will be confused, everyone is not at ease when he goes out, so naturally he will not be left alone, guess what is so strange that there are many people in charge!" ”

The old lady sighed: "What are you arguing about, it's a headache, hey, long live the Lord's words, we don't dare not listen, but I really don't know what you said about the pendant, I'm afraid it won't help much, if the girl must say that the thing is in my Qi family, you can go find it yourself." ”

After speaking, the old lady directly covered her head and shouted that she had a headache, "Oh, I'm old, it's uncomfortable to move a little, it's uncomfortable." ”

Hongchen laughed suddenly: "Just have the old lady's words." ”

She turned her head and went out, and there were two little girls outside, escorting her out all the way, before she came back and said, "That girl didn't go anywhere, she left straight away." ”

Qi Xu was stunned and frowned.

The old lady sat up, sighed, glanced at her grandson, and pulled him to sit over: "She calls herself Rong'an, which county lord of the imperial court should be, and I don't know what the real purpose of coming to our house is, I don't think it's good, Xu'er, be careful these two days, look at her appearance, it doesn't look like she will give up, our Qi family can't afford to toss." ”

Qi Xu responded in a low voice and said with a smile: "Grandma don't worry, everything has our juniors, you can enjoy Qingfu with peace of mind." ”

coaxed the old lady to sleep, but Qi Xu's face was much whiter, and he went straight to his mother, and said as soon as he entered the door: "Mother, we must send him away, that person is here to find something like that, she is a little girl, I am afraid that I will really follow the people of the court later...... That thing could save his life, and it must not be taken away. ”

was also taken aback, and after thinking about it, he said: "In this way, our family's mountain protection array is a first-class formation, even if the imperial court really sends troops to search, it can't be found there, you send him to the secret room of the mountain protection array, be careful, don't alarm others." ”

Qi Xu gritted his teeth and agreed, patted his heart, and tried to calm down - what are you afraid of, just a little woman, although she has a clean body, she has never been stopped from entering the mountain protection array at the door, she must be a person who is powerless and threatened.

After a long time, everything was arranged, and the mother and son breathed a sigh of relief.

Hongchen stood outside the gate, took the flowers in his hand back into his purse, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, in fact, being despised and despised was not without benefits, the time was not early, and he quickly took the things back to the mother It was serious.

After a while, the sun was sinking in the west.

Qi Gong's people climbed to the top of the mountain with a face full of wind and frost, gray faces, and panting, and as soon as they came up, everyone in the Qi family was stunned.

There were two little guys who were so frightened that their faces turned green: "Array, array......"

The others were confused, but the people of the Qi family could see clearly, where did the peach tree in front of the house go? What about the mountain? Why is there not a single mountain guard dog in the family? The Great Array has been in front of the house for nearly a hundred years, how can it become like this after only a few days of going out?

The door of the house is desolate, the autumn wind is falling, and the leaves are bleak.

In an instant, everyone thought of the tragedy of someone coming to seek revenge, the death of all the wives and children in the family, and so on.

"Wow!"

The two little ones were so frightened that they cried.

When the housekeeper inside heard the movement, he hurriedly opened the door and looked over, he was also stunned, and exclaimed, "What's the matter?" (To be continued.) )
