I have been staying here in South America until the afternoon, Yang Yun invited Gongsun Gan and others to have a sumptuous barbecue meal, the meat used is all South American special animals, such as alpaca meat tastes extremely delicious, plus the peppers found around the camp, it is the South American winter, the peppers have long been ripe, hung on the dead branches and swayed in the wind to dry, picked down and milled into sea pepper noodles, sprinkled on the meat when barbecued, extremely delicious.

Gongsun Gan and others ate with their mouths full of oil, and their good impression of the "Heavenly Kingdom" increased exponentially.

Yang Yun drank the high wine he brought from Datang, and asked sideways, "I wonder if Mr. Gongsun is going to spend the night here today?" ”

"This ...... Dare to ask, is this place as rumored, one day above the sky, and a hundred years in the world? After a day of edification, coupled with the fact that Guangxuan taught him a lot of strange Taoist knowledge, he was full of curiosity about the affairs of the Daomen.

Yang Yun shook his head with a smile and said: "That's not true, the day here is the day of Datang, but because of the separation of yin and yang, here and Datang happen to be reversed day and night, and it should still be night in Datang at this time." ”

Gongsun Gan relieved his heart at this time, sighed and said: "It's okay, otherwise, it's really like Liu Ruan Yuxian, ten days in the mountains, three hundred years have passed in the mortal world, and when he returns home, how can he be embarrassed?" The lowly post does not spend the night here, and returns early, in fact, Gao Gong also wants to know the situation here. ”

In this way, it can be regarded as a leak of the fact that Colliers sent him to spy on the situation.

But in Gongsun Gan's opinion, there is no need to hide it at all, firstly, Yang Yun showed all kinds of immortal methods, which made him feel that there was no point in concealment, and on the other hand, he felt a burst of fear in this so-called "Heavenly Kingdom", especially when he heard that this is the middle ground between the earth and the heavenly court, and there are ghosts haunted from time to time, so he naturally does not want to spend the night in this fearful place.

"We're going back too."

The two craftsmen next to him hurriedly fought for it, they didn't want to stay in such a strange place to work.

Due to the time difference, it is already early in the morning on Datang's side, and Datang, as an agrarian society, pays attention to sunrise and sunset, and the body has long adapted to go to bed early and get up early.

Yang Yun looked at Guangxuan with a smile and asked, "I wonder if Guangxuan Daoist will stay or go back?" ”

Guangxuan is different from ordinary people, cultivators meditate and practice, often day and night are reversed, work and rest disordered, and they are not sleepy at all, and the Taoist nature is full of curiosity about all things in the world, and his bones are full of exploration spirit, so Guangxuan said with a smile: "Since for the national teacher, it is a matter of fingers to come and go freely, and to stay and go, so why should I rush back to Datang in a clueless situation?" Poor Dao wants to stay here and see more. ”

Of course, having said that, in fact, Guangxuan heard Yang Yun say that the "Heavenly Kingdom" has enough aura, so he chose to stay here.

If you can meditate here, you will definitely get twice the result with half the effort if you want to practice Taoism, so Guangxuan is ready to study it that night to see if there can be a breakthrough in cultivation, and at the same time, he is also ready to study the details of Yang Yun's alchemy.

Yang Yun smiled slightly and said, "The living conditions here at night will be relatively difficult, I hope that the chief of the light will not mind." ”

"It's ...... here at night"

Gongsun asked curiously.

Yang Yun sighed: "In addition to the lonely ghosts, there will be all kinds of wild beasts around the camp, and this place has been attacked by giant pythons dozens of feet long before, causing heavy casualties, so I usually don't spend the night here." ”

When Guangxuan heard this, he was immediately stunned, and hurriedly said: "Although Poor Dao is good at exorcizing ghosts, he can't do anything about fierce beasts, so this time I still go back with the national teacher, and I can come back later." ”

Yang Yun smiled secretly in his heart, this can be regarded as a smooth dispatch of the spies sent by Gao Lishi, and then he drank freely, and when Gongsun Gan and Guangxuan and others were drunk and hazy, Yang Yun took them back to Datang.

At this time, it was still pitch black on the Tang side, the sky was full of stars, and the place where it was located was also the original courtyard, and Gongsun Gan and others felt like a world away.

"It's incredible, isn't it?"

Guangxuan was amazed, for him, this is probably the most amazing thing he has experienced as a Taoist priest for so many years, and turning back can become his capital to brag about Taoist friends.

Look at me, I once followed the national teacher to the mysterious "Heavenly Kingdom", which of you has had this experience?

Yang Yun said: "In less than an hour, Datang will be dawn, a few people may wish to go back to rest, if there is something I will inform you, I have known the owner of Lin Fang Dong Fang for a long time, it is not difficult for you to get out of the workshop, just inform me." ”

"Farewell, farewell." Gongsun Gan hurriedly pulled the two craftsmen out of the courtyard gate, and the carriage they were riding in was still waiting outside, and then left in a hurry.

"Master, will there be a problem?" Wu Yuan asked.

Yang Yun sighed and said, "No matter what, others will still be suspicious, besides, I just gave His Majesty alchemy, and I didn't do anything unseemly, are you still afraid that they won't succeed?" ”

……

……

After Gongsun Gan left Shanglinfang, he went to see Gao Lishi overnight, and met at Gao Lishi's private house at dawn, explaining to Gao Lishi what he saw in the "Heavenly Kingdom".

Extremely shocked, Colliers asked, "Are you...... You mean, you went to a place where you turned day and night upside down with Datang, and you spent a day there? There is a strange beast that squirts water with a mouth and looks like a sheep, and its meat is unusually delicious? You...... Are you sure you haven't been doused with a daze and had a dream? ”

Previously, Gao Lishi had doubts about the so-called "miracles" experienced by Li Longji, and sought verification from Taoist priests to see if Yang Yun was behind the ghost, and took the opportunity to puncture the myth created by Yang Yuhuan and Yang Yun in Li Longji's mind, so as to achieve the goal of no one competing with him in front of the emperor.

Now that Gongsun Gan is talking about the matter, he only thinks that Yang Yun is using the same method to let Gongsun Gan see some things that don't exist in the first place.

Gongsun Gan swore and said: "Not only have I seen it in Xia, but even the chief of the light preacher has seen it with his own eyes, and this matter cannot be fake." ”

Gao Lishi asked a lot of details, and after learning that there were still wild people in the "Heavenly Kingdom", and a large number of people were building alchemy furnaces in the camp built by Yang Yun, his face was very strange.

"Did you know...... Where is that place? ”

This is something that Colliers can't figure out.

Gongsun Gan said helplessly: "We were originally in Luoyang City, but in a blink of an eye, we arrived at the foreign land......"

"Useless things, let you go and investigate, and come to this result? Then I'll let you go back and look for it, but can you still find a place? Gao Lishi was embarrassed for a while, and now he used this evidence to go to Li Longji to complain, which was completely unfounded.

Gongsun Gan shook his head, looking a little embarrassed.

When he came back, he had already asked Guangxuan, and Guangxuan replied that he had no clue, and he didn't know how Yang Yun did all this, and his words were full of admiration for Yang Yun.

Gao Lishi sighed: "This kid is really capable, he can create a heavenly kingdom out of thin air at the feet of the Son of Heaven in Luoyang, isn't it underground?" Or is it a trick...... No, no, there is such a strange place hidden around us, our family has to hurry up and face the saint, we can't let this kid continue to do evil! ”

When Gao Lishi went to see Li Longji, Li Longji had just gotten up and looked at it with a book of Taoist scriptures.

Recently, Li Longji didn't ask about court affairs, and he didn't even meet with the ministers, and directly became a faint monarch hiding in the palace to blind the public, and all the big and small affairs of the court were entrusted to Gao Lishi, and his mind was full of Yang Yuhuan.

"Your Majesty, the old minister has learned a piece of news from outside...... About the uncle Yang Yun. When Gao Lishi reported to Li Longji, he spoke cautiously, for fear that any inappropriate sentence would annoy Li Longji.

Recently, Li Longji's mood has been a little abnormal, irritable and irritable, and he loses his temper at every turn, which may be related to the slow progress of Yang Yuhuan's relationship.

Li Longji's pursuit is to stay with Yang Yuhuan for a long time, not to be hung by Yang Yuhuan like now, calling him when he needs to, and it is difficult to even meet him when he doesn't need to.

Li Longji asked indifferently, "Uncle Yang Yun?" Isn't it a national teacher? What's the matter with him? ”

Gao Lishi's voice was gentle, and he said word by word: "The national teacher said alchemy before, but there was no movement at all, but who knew that he had made a so-called heavenly kingdom in Luoyang City, where the climate was very different from the Tang Dynasty, day and night were reversed, and the old slave sent people to check, and there were already hundreds of craftsmen and strong men doing things for him......"

Gao Lishi is well versed in the rules of the imperial court, and he did not complain to Li Longji, but told Yang Yun's secret in the voice of a third party irrelevant person in the way of reporting gossip, and did not mix any subjective opinions, not saying that Yang Yun wanted to rebel, but just showing this meaning between the lines.

"The national teacher got hundreds of people and went to a place that was upside down with Datang day and night? The location is still in Luoyang City...... Are you sure you're not talking nonsense? ”

Li Longji listened to the report, and his face was full of disbelief, which obviously violated common sense.

Gao Lishi said firmly: "That's true, I heard that those craftsmen and Lifu were found for him by the Jingshi merchants, and after bringing them over, I don't know what to make up, built a large walled city, and I heard that he also captured some savages for his use, these savages are not civilized and intelligent, if they are trained step by step, they may be able to play a role that cannot be underestimated......

Regarding Yang Yun's casting of the alchemy furnace in the camp, Gao Lishi didn't say a word, only said that Yang Yun took a group of people to a mysterious place to establish power, and selectively narrated it, probably because he felt that this fierce medicine was not enough, and speculated that Yang Yun had bad intentions.

Li Longji said: "He is a Taoist priest, and he should be looking for someone to go for alchemy." ”

Gao Lishi leaned over and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, if it's just alchemy, why do you need hundreds of people?" I've heard that some metal ...... is still being made Coupled with the barbarians arrested, this thing is very unusual. ”

"Oh?"

At this time, Li Longji looked at Colliers for the first time, but he only squinted his eyes.

As the emperor, he is the most sensitive to the dragon chair under his seat, he understands what Gao Lishi means, suspects that Yang Yun has a bad heart, although there is an element of false accusation, but Li Longji will not mind, the people below have unusual behavior, Gao Lishi told him, in fact, it is a manifestation of loyalty, when the emperor's defense of his subjects is much deeper than Gao Lishi's eunuch.

Gao Lishi continued to add fuel to the fire: "The old minister also found out that the national teacher before got a batch of pig iron back, all of which were looted from the surrounding areas of Luoyang, and then these pig iron disappeared, is it possible that he used it in some ulterior place?" ”

"And the land outside the fang does not obey the king, if Your Majesty does not send troops to control it, even if this national teacher is loyal to the Tang Dynasty, but the barbarians have the upper hand and coerce the national teacher to bring these people to the Tang Dynasty, and they will appear directly in Luoyang City, at that time, ......"

Colliers' political sense of smell is really keen, and after he said this, Li Longji immediately felt the crisis.

As Gao Lishi said, Li Longji was not worried about what Yang Yun was doing in the land outside the square, but because he was afraid that the people outside the place would threaten his safety, and it was precisely this passage that was in Luoyang City.

In other words, the people in the land of the Tang Dynasty can go to the land outside the square from Luoyang, and the people from the land outside the country can also go directly to Luoyang, no matter how strict the defense of Luoyang is, how can Li Longji rest assured?

Li Longji stood up with a serious expression: "Hearing scholar, what do you mean is to let me dispel the idea of inviting the national teacher to alchemy, so that he can concentrate on the court?" ”

"This ...... The old minister thinks that it is not necessary to go to the place outside the square to alchemy, and the national teacher has the ability to reach the sky, so I am afraid that he will do more actions against Your Majesty's will in the future......

Now Gao Lishi was confident, and his subjective words began to be exported, and he felt that Li Longji should be full of suspicion about Yang Yun now.

But Li Longji waved his hand and said, "No, no...... He is just a Taoist priest, without a single soldier in his hands, do you think he will betray Datang and threaten Datang's Jiangshan Sheji? ”

"This ......"

Colliers didn't know how to answer for a while.

Li Longji said again: "Since you have doubts about him, then I will find him and confront him face to face to see what he means...... Go and tell him to come. ”

Although Li Longji doesn't ask about court affairs, he is not to the point of being at the mercy of others, not to mention that he believes Yang Yun from the bottom of his heart so far.

Gao Lishi found that he had worked hard for a long time, but he didn't get the actual results, and now he had to summon Yang Yun to confront him, for fear that Yang Yun would notice the clues if he didn't agree, and it would be difficult for Yang Yun to believe him in the future.

But he had to go to someone.

……

……

Gao Lishi went to see Yang Yun in person, and then accompanied Yang Yun to take a carriage to the Luoyang Imperial Palace.

In order not to make Yang Yun suspicious, Gao Lishi used what he thought was a scheming on the road to pour soup into Yang Yun.

"Your Majesty heard that you are working hard in alchemy, so I want to summon you to offer your condolences...... Your Majesty would like to take the elixir you have refined earlier, and you can just tell the truth when the time comes. ”

Gao Lishi took a posture of completely standing on Yang Yun's position, "It's just that you are still guilty of a big taboo in the matter of transferring people to the Heavenly Kingdom, if Your Majesty asks, you had better be mentally prepared, show a sincere and fearful posture, and let Your Majesty forgive you for making your own decisions......"

Yang Yun responded with his mouth, but he didn't think so in his heart.

This old eunuch looks intimate, but in fact, it doesn't mean that he will admit to Li Longji that he does have the intention to engage in those who have not been overseas, so that the emperor will be suspicious, and when he is sold by Gao Lishi, he will have to count the money for Gao Lishi?

Later, Gao Lishi said anything, Yang Yun didn't bother to pay attention to it, and the two arrived at the Luoyang Palace in a "friendly atmosphere".
