The next few days were like a holiday for the people of Camp 1, as they were finally able to go back to visit their relatives after a month of purgatory.

Everyone was divided into six groups, and each group could only stay for one day before returning.

Before the last batch of people returned, Yang Yun would not send the second batch home, and he would have to investigate the details of the visit in detail to avoid leakage of news.

However, it is not a secret that he is looking for craftsmen and laborers through the Mi family, and Yang Yun's recruitment of people around Luoyang will definitely know and be suspicious with Gao Lishi's hands and eyes, but Gao Lishi would never have thought that Yang Yun would use some inconspicuous craftsmen and a small number of Lifu to betray the Tang Dynasty.

For the time being, Colliers will not come to Li Longji to sue Yang Yun for rebellion, and Li Longji will not believe this kind of thing, but will suspect that Colliers has ulterior motives.

When Yang Yun returned to Datang and talked to Mi Ying about recruiting more people, Mi Ying said that she and her family had been watched recently.

"People from the government often go to the vicinity of Mi's house to check, and recently the Henan government often sends people to the workshop, but they don't say what to do, and they don't disturb the normal work......"

Mi Ying's words made Yang Yun realize that it may not only be Gao Lishi who is sending people to investigate, but Liu Hengzheng has also begun to make moves.

Probably because he abducted the people sent by Mrs. Xia before, many of them were eyeliners sent by Mrs. Xia, who knew that the meat bun would never come back, and there was no follow-up news at all, which aroused Liu Hengzheng's strong curiosity, and Liu Hengzheng began to spy on what Yang Yun was doing.

This is also a strong evidence that Liu Hengzheng secretly colluded with Mrs. Xia, and even hid conspiracy.

Yang Yun nodded and said, "As long as it doesn't interfere with your business...... I wonder how the goods that were given to you before are sold? ”

Yang Yun has long handed over the business of high wine, silver mirror, rice paper, glassware and other businesses to the Mi family, and the production and sales are one-stop, but the production capacity is limited, and the scale has not been large. With the completion of infrastructure construction on the South American continent, the next step is to open a workshop, and production will gradually expand, and it is necessary to ensure smooth sales.

"It's selling very well, and we've recently started shipping goods to the south, and now Dongying, Goryeo and Persians like to come to Yangzhou to buy our goods, but many of them are fragile, which hurts profits......," Mi Ying said about business, and seemed very assertive.

Among the two generations of the Mi family, the most business-minded is Mi Ying, and her brother Mi Yuan is also a little deficient in this regard, not to mention their father who doesn't learn and knows how to do it.

Yang Yun asked some more things, explained to recruit people in Hebei, Shandong and other places, and then left the Mi family.

When they came out, they saw someone secretly investigating, and after discovering Yang Yun, these people were startled, and quickly avoided it, not daring to approach it again.

From the reactions of these people, Yang Yun probably guessed that it was likely to be a scout in the army, who was experienced in stalking, and knew him.

If Yang Yun hadn't paid attention, he might have been fooled by this group of people.

Yang Yun returned to his residence with doubts, here Zhang Jingyan was busy helping Yang Yun do metallurgical experiments, and not long after he came back, Gao Lishi came to visit.

Gao Lishi didn't come to Yang Yun's residence much, but now Li Longji relies on Yang Yun very much, Gao Lishi has to pay attention to the relationship with Yang Yun, this time the two came to greet each other slightly, Yang Yun knew that the other party was not called by Li Longji, but had something to ask.

"I heard that the national teacher's recent alchemy has been fruitful? I wonder if there is a finished pill in the world? ”

As soon as Gao Lishi came up to ask the question, his tone was neither yin nor yang, and Yang Yun immediately realized that maybe this old eunuch was trying to test him to recruit people everywhere.

Yang Yun replied: "The principle of my alchemy is to either refine an elixir with excellent quality, even if it is not immortal, it is enough to prolong life, if I don't achieve this goal, I will not take out any elixir to anyone to take." ”

Gao Lishi looked suspicious, stared at Yang Yun for a long time, and then shook his head and said, "You can't take out the pill for a long time, how can Your Majesty believe you?" If Your Majesty doubts, how can our family help you speak? ”

Yang Yun asked curiously: "In the lower alchemy, I didn't mobilize the resources of the imperial court, but I didn't know that General Gao was helping to speak...... Where to start? ”

Colliers' face was a little embarrassed.

With his current status, if he were someone else, he would definitely not be so openly contradicted and embarrassed him.

However, what Yang Yun said was also reasonable, at first Li Longji asked Gao Lishi to cooperate with Yang Yun to refine the pill and provide resources, but in fact, it was Princess Xianyi who strongly recommended Yang Yun in front of Li Longji who was really responsible for supervision.

But recently, Princess Xianyi's relationship with Yang Yun broke down directly because of the death of Concubine Wu Hui, and Yang Yun's alchemy never received the care of the imperial court again.

"Since Your Majesty intends to live forever, he naturally wants to ask about the effectiveness of alchemy...... There was a special person in the palace to make alchemy before, but since the appointment of Uncle Guo you as the national teacher, the rest of the Taoist celebrities have been expelled from the palace, and now His Majesty can only hope for the national teacher you, you said that there has been no fruit for a long time, can the old body find a way to cover up for the national teacher? His Majesty has always attached great importance to the matter of alchemy. ”

Gao Lishi couldn't make a bad deal with Yang Yun, so he had to find an explanation.

Yang Yun nodded with relief, as if he understood Gao Lishi's distress, and sighed: "Actually, Your Majesty is going to become an immortal after all, if you just take the elixir, you will only survive in the world for a long time, and without immortal power, you will not be perfect after all." ”

"Then you can refine the elixir that will make Your Majesty become an immortal as soon as possible." Colliers almost blurted out.

In Gaolis's mind, if Li Longji can become an immortal, it will definitely be a great thing. The immortals are beyond the world, jumping out of the Three Realms and Six Realms, so that the affairs of the world are under the control of his Gaolishi, if Li Longji is grateful for his merits as a hero, he may take him to become an immortal and transcend reincarnation.

But his words were ambiguous, and it sounded like he was cursing Li Longji to die early.

Yang Yun said with emotion: "Of course, there is a elixir for becoming an immortal, but it may be more difficult to refine it than refining the medicine of mortal dust, I don't have too many people around me now, so I can only recruit them by myself, and I have to cast spells to take them to the heavenly realm to refine, which is really very hard......"

"Heavenly Realm?"

Gao Lishi's eyes widened when he heard this, and he was a little puzzled.

He originally thought that Yang Yun had just sent the recruited people to a certain mountain forest near Luoyang to hide, and he didn't come back for a while, but he didn't know that he heard a new term.

Yang Yun nodded and said, "It's the Heavenly Kingdom...... Between the heavenly court, the human world and the underworld, there is a heaven and earth, with sufficient spiritual energy, and refining the elixir is twice the result with half the effort, but it is very difficult over there, and there are many different beasts like cows......"

Gao Lishi sneered and looked at Yang Yun, obviously he didn't believe this statement, and listened to it as a nonsense.

"If you are short of people, you can tell our family, and our family will transfer a few people for you, and you can recruit them at any time." Gao Lishi meant that he wanted to send someone to Yang Yun to supervise and see what Yang Yun was doing.

Yang Yun had also thought about this question before.

In case Li Longji or Gao Lishi and other people in power find out that he recruited people from Datang but do not know where to go, they will definitely want to test what Yang Yun is doing and see if there is a possibility of betraying Datang.

Therefore, Yang Yun was prepared for a long time.

Yang Yun showed a happy smile on his face, nodded and said, "If General Gao can provide manpower, I am really grateful." ”

Yang Yun is currently in two main camps in South America, Camp 1 is mainly responsible for urban construction and metal smelting, but the semi-finished products will be sent to Camp 2.

The main function of Camp 2 is to mine coal and iron ore and carry out the final processing, as well as to build armor and weapons in Camp 2 in preparation for the colonization of South America.

Since Camp No. 2 has the function of conquest, it is unlikely that those people will bring them back to Datang, so Camp No. 2 is a secret base.

On the contrary, there are no secrets in Camp No. 1, and the precautions are relatively loose, even if the imperial court sends someone to investigate, he can't see any problems, at most he thinks that he is preparing for alchemy.

"That's good, after our family goes back, we will send a few people, they are skilled craftsmen, among them are cultivators who know more about alchemy, they are newly recruited staff members of our family, I hope you can cooperate." Gao Lishi finally got to the point, that is, he sent craftsmen and Taoist priests to be eyeliner, staring at Yang Yun's every move throughout the whole process.

Gao Lishi was extremely defensive of Yang Yun, and did not relax his vigilance at any time, saying that he was helping Yang Yun, but in fact, he wanted to monitor what Yang Yun was doing behind his back.

Yang Yun couldn't object, so he happily accepted it, and Gao Lishi was surprised when he saw this, and began to speculate whether the "Heavenly Kingdom" that Yang Yun said was really there.

Soon, the people sent by Gao Lishi arrived at Yang Yun's residence, including a director of the Ministry of Works, named Gongsun Gan, with two stonemasons belonging to the Ministry of Works.

There was also a Taoist named Guangxuan.

This light preaching leader Yang Yun is quite unfamiliar, and he thinks that he is a Taoist who Gao Lishi has taken in by his side. Now the emperor Chongdao, the original raised in the palace of the famous Tao and dismissed, Gao Lishi encountered some problems of Taoism and felt nowhere to start, so he recruited some Taoists from Luoyang as consultants, this Guangxuan is one of them, it is reported that he is very good at alchemy.

"National teacher, I don't know when I will leave for ...... Heavenly Realm? ”

Guangxuan was very interested in going to the heavenly kingdom that Yang Yun preached, he knew that his status in the Daomen was too low and he had no right to speak, but Yang Yun was the number one person in the Daomen, not to mention that Yang Yun also had multiple identities such as the uncle of the country, the national teacher, and the imperial historian, so he was convinced of what Yang Yun said and highly respected.

Guangxuan is not very old, only in his thirties, not as skinny as ordinary Taoist priests, without the slightest fairy wind bones on his body, with a stocky figure and bright eyes, he looks like a practical person, and he may also be appreciated by Gaolishi.

Yang Yun said: "I will leave tonight, gather at my mansion before sunset, and I will take a few people to a place to open an altar, and then you can go to the heavenly realm." ”

Guangxuan was very happy to hear this, but Gongsun Gan looked incredulous, and the corners of his mouth turned up with a mocking look, obviously this Confucian official from the imperial examination did not trust Taoist affairs, and Yang Yun could basically be judged from his words and deeds that he was a master who liked to stir up trouble, and Gao Lishi sent him to find fault with Yang Yun.

At dusk, Yang Yun really took the four of them to an empty courtyard, and at this time, the incense case had been placed in the courtyard, and Yang Yun, who was wearing a Taoist robe, was holding a peachwood sword, and he was trying to do things, the purpose was to delay the time and wait for the sunrise on the South American continent.

Gongsun Gan was watching a monkey show on the side, and when he saw Yang Yun finish the Fa, he sneered: "National Teacher, why didn't I show up in the Heavenly Kingdom, or stay where I am?" ”

"You take a step forward."

Yang Yun said to Gongsun.

Gongsun felt a sneer, took a step forward, and the people had already stepped into the space door, and then the remaining few people were pushed in by Yang Yun with dark force.

When Yang Yun took Wu Yuan and Yarou to the other side of the space gate, Gongsun felt stupid, he stood in the center of Camp No. 1, looking at the rising sun, and lost his soul for a while.

"This ...... This is the Kingdom of Heaven? ”

Guangxuan next to him was very excited, as if he had stepped into a fairyland, and looked around.

Yang Yun patted Gongsun Gan's shoulder and asked with a smile, "Mr. Gongsun, can you let me take you around for a tour?" ”

"This ...... This ......"

Gongsun looked at Yang Yun with a complicated expression, and his previous contempt was completely eliminated, and it turned into a terrifying expression of seeing a ghost, and he couldn't even speak clearly.

Yang Yun said: "This is the place where I made alchemy for Your Majesty, but now the alchemy furnace has not yet been cast, this is a wild place, and it needs to be built from scratch, and the craftsmen are very hard." The climate of the Heavenly Kingdom is very different from that of the Tang Dynasty, and the day and night are even more reversed, coupled with the infestation of strange beasts here, the progress of alchemy has greatly slowed down. ”

In the center of the No. 1 camp, a large building is really being built, in the shape of a pillar, and Yang Yun said that it is the alchemy furnace.

In fact, this is a steel-making blast furnace, people in this era do not know anything about steelmaking, the first time I saw such a strange-shaped building, I really thought it was an alchemy furnace.

"National teacher, this place is indeed different from the Tang Dynasty, I don't know where this heavenly kingdom is?" As a Taoist priest, Guangxuan believes in the way of immortals and is full of curiosity about everything here.

Yang Yun once again took out the rhetoric that connected Heaven and the underworld and the human world, and Guangxuan was amazed when he heard it, and his eyes were full of admiration when he looked at Yang Yun.

With the mentality of the master, Yang Yun took the four people around the camp, and even did not hide the existence of the natives, and directly showed them to a few people.

"There are still savages in the Heavenly Kingdom? Are they human or immortal? "Guangxuan is a curious baby, and he asks directly when he sees something he doesn't understand.

Yang Yun shook his head and said, "The Wild Land has been inhabited for a long time, but it has not yet been civilized, so it should have nothing to do with the immortals. ”

Looking at Gongsun Gan again, Gongsun Gan's eyes were very complicated, he sighed, and didn't say anything, but he had already accepted Yang Yun's "nonsense" in his heart.

On the same day, Yang Yun, as a guide, took Gongsun Gan and Guangxuan to meet the craftsmen and Lifu in the camp, because the people who came here originally thought that they were alchemy for the emperor, and after seeing the imperial court sending an envoy to inspect, they could report it truthfully.
