Zhao Liang's nerves have now been honed very roughly, and he asked lightly: "Your junior brother's name is Xu Fu, could it be a double Xu, the blessing of blessings?" ”

The lights out chief nodded: "Well, yes, it's these two words." ”

Hehe, Zhao Liang thought to himself: I knew that Zhun Bao was the Xu Fu who "crossed the sea with three thousand boys and girls to the east to find the fairy mountain". This brain-burning computer is really watery, so far not only has there been no clue about the missing agent, but he first let himself meet Master Zu, and then he made the most famous Fang Shi in Chinese history, is this teasing me?

I only heard the lights out Taoist continued: "Actually, even if my junior brother doesn't send me a letter asking for help, I plan to go to Xianyang. Not long ago, Xiaodao watched the sky at night and found that a red fire meteor crossed the sky, approaching the Ziwei Emperor Star. Originally, I thought it was just a change in the court, and it had nothing to do with my mountain wilderness, but when I pinched my fingers, I realized that it was a sign of the demon star coming into the world! ”

"Oh my god, the demon star is born?" Xiao Hei was shocked and said, "What the hell is going on, please tell the Taoist chief about it." ”

The lights out Taoist said indifferently: "Since there is a star like Immortal Chang in the mortal, then naturally there will be a demon star coming to the world." The difference is that the immortal chief is here to save sentient beings, while the demon star will only bring disaster to the world. Poor Dao calculated that this demon star came from a foreign land and did not belong to this world, so he was afraid that he would cause endless disasters, so he hurried here. ”

Xiao Hei suddenly said: "Oh, it turns out that last night on the Sifang Mountain, you dare to think that Mr. is the demon star?" ”

"It was true at the beginning," the lights out Dao Chief said apologetically to Zhao Liang, "Please don't blame the Immortal Chief." ”

Zhao Liang didn't bother with the stubble of lights out at all, and at this time, his mind was completely attracted by the other party's words just now: Not long ago? From an exotic land? Demon star? My goodness, could it be the missing X-Class agent? I remember his code name was "Meteor", could it be such a coincidence?

He hurriedly asked Lights Out: "Dao Chief, where might that demon star do evil, do you probably have a spectrum in your heart?" ”

Lights out nodded: "According to the celestial phenomenon of the meteor backlash Ziwei, most of them should be in the court of Xianyang." ”

Zhao Liang said in his heart: This is the right number! The area of the "Aquarius Star Palace" operation in the pre-Qin period was the Xianyang royal court. Before, I wondered that although Lijia Village was not far from Xianyang, it had nothing to do with the royal court, and I didn't know how to take the next step. It turns out that the brain-burning computer is for me to wait here for the lights out.

Thinking of this, Zhao Liang asked to turn off the lights: "Eh, Dao Chief, can I go to Xianyang with you?" I also want to see where that demon star is sacred, okay? ”

"That's great!" The lights out Dao Chang's face was full of joy: "If the Immortal Chief is willing to make a move, wouldn't it be safe to subdue the Demon Star?" Xiaodao really can't ask for it! ”

"I want to go along, too." Xiao Hei hurriedly said: "I can serve you all the way, promise to be obedient, and do whatever you want!" ”

"Okay, multiple helpers and more strength, let's go together!" Zhao Liang happily agreed.

The three of them discussed while eating, and when they were full of wine and food, they ran together to bid farewell to the village chief. Xiao Hei didn't dare to tell his father what he was going to do, but only said that he would accompany Mr. Zhao Liang to Xianyang for a tour. The village chief is old and refined, and naturally knows that most of them are going to Xianyang to find the bad luck of the Beichen real person, and it is estimated that they can't be persuaded either, so they have to take a piece of bamboo slips, write down a few names and addresses and hand them to Xiao Hei, and tell his son, all of them are his old friends in the court, if there is anything, you might as well ask them to take care of one or two.

Zhao Liang and the three thanked the village chief, said goodbye to the village chief's wife and Lingxiu, and took advantage of the sunny weather to embark on a journey to Xianyang.

Lijia Village is actually on the outskirts of Xianyang, and before the sun sets, they can already see the outline of the city wall from afar. Xiao Hei was worried that the city gate would be closed and locked no later, so he hurriedly urged Zhao Liang and the lights out to speed up his pace, and the three of them sprinted for five or six miles in a row, and finally arrived at the south gate of Xianyang.

After paying the city gate tax, the three of them successfully entered Xianyang City. It was the first time for Zhao Liang to come to this famous ancient capital, and he couldn't help but be both curious and excited. When I was in Dongzhou Hojing before, to be honest, the city was about the size of a small town, with few decent streets and a small population.

But the Xianyang in front of you is very different. The streets are wide, the shops are numerous, and the buildings of all kinds are lined up one after another, far and near, and they look quite imposing. And the street is also full of people and lively. If everyone was holding their mobile phone cameras at this time, Zhao Liang would really mistakenly think that he had arrived in Hengdian.

Xiao Hei asked, "Mr. Zhao Liang, are we staying in the hotel?" Or to my father's old friend? ”

"Let's stay in the hotel," Zhao Liang replied, "There's no need to make trouble for others, what do you say?" He looked at the Lights Out Inspector and asked for advice.

Lights out and said, "I think it's better to live with my junior brother, it's both clean and comfortable." ”

Zhao Liang knew that he was worried about Xu Fu's safety, so he readily agreed. The lights out chief was obviously familiar with Xianyang, and he walked through the streets and alleys, and soon led Zhao Liang and Xiao Hei to a small Taoist temple.

At this time, the Taoist temple was not closed, and two seven or eight-year-old Taoist children were sitting on the steps of the door chatting. Seeing the three of them, Dao Tong was stunned for a moment, then showed a surprised expression, got up and shouted: "Uncle Shi, Uncle Shi, then your old man is here!" ”

Lights out and stepped forward: "Tong'er, where is your master?" ”

"Master, he ......" Xiao Daotong's eyes suddenly turned red, and he choked up slightly: "He was imprisoned in the palace." ”

Lights out, his face sank, and he said, "Let's talk about it when we go in." ”

Dao Tong let the three of them into the main hall and sat down. The lights out chief said that he didn't want to sit in the main seat, so he insisted on letting Zhao Liang take the seat, and he sat with him at the bottom, Xiao Hei was quite sensible, and stood behind Zhao Liang without saying a word, like a bodyguard.

At this time, the boy served tea, and other disciples in the temple also arrived, about thirty people, all of them looked like Taoist children, and the oldest was only fifteen or sixteen years old.

One of the leaders was a little older, and he stood up and saluted: "Changqing see Uncle Shi, your old man is here, and the disciples can finally rest assured." ”

The Lights Out Daoist nodded and said to everyone: "Come, I have met this Immortal Chief first-Mr. Zhao Liang, the Aquarius Star Official." ”

The disciples didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly clasped their hands neatly and bowed: "Disciple see Immortal Chief——"

After the disciples had saluted, they turned off the lights and asked Changqing: "What's going on, you tell me in detail." ”

Changqing is Xu Fu's eldest disciple, the oldest, and he is also articulate. Hearing the teacher's inquiry, he immediately told the truth of the matter.

It turned out that just three months ago, the general of Pingnan of the Qin Empire, Wang Ben, the Marquis of Tongwu, found a treasure in his own territory. The name of that treasure is called "Qiankun Quenching Gold Furnace", which comes from a secret basement of the Chu royal family, and has just been discovered.

According to legend, Zhu Rong, the ancestor of the Chu State, was the god of fire, and the south belonged to the "Separation Hexagram", representing the fire. Therefore, the people of Chu have always regarded fire as a totem, believing in and worshiping the mysterious power of fire. And this "Qiankun Quenching Gold Furnace" is a divine fire magic weapon born in Chudi. It is said that this furnace can trigger the true fire of Samadhi, and after a long time of refining without damage, it can produce a real golden pill of immortality.

Previously, several alchemists failed to alchemy for Qin Shi Huang and were almost beheaded, all under the pretext that they failed because they lacked the assistance of the "Qiankun Quenching Gold Furnace", so they could save their lives.

Now, General Wang Ben has found this artifact, which is tantamount to announcing that the "elixir of longevity" is ready for everything and is at his fingertips. When Qin Shi Huang received this news, he was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly sent his Yulin Iron Guards to the south to escort the "Qiankun Quenching Gold Furnace" back to Xianyang.

But unexpectedly, the situation occurred not long after the divine furnace arrived in Xianyang.

According to Qin Shi Huang's idea, the arrival of the "Qiankun Quenching Furnace" is the time of alchemy of the "elixir of life". But by coincidence, just a few days before Wang Ben got the divine furnace, the national teacher Beichen Zhenren went to Qilian Mountain to look for the fairy herb elixir at the behest of the emperor, and he has not returned until now.

This stove is there, but the cook is gone, do you say you hate it? But it doesn't matter, the living can't be suffocated by urine. Qin Shi Huang couldn't wait for Beichen, so he assigned another alchemist he favored to start refining first. And that lucky person is the junior brother of the lantern extinguishing Taoist, the first scholar in ancient and modern times - Xu Fu.

Xu Fu was also overjoyed by the emperor's arrangement. It's really the rhythm of going out for a walk and being smashed by a big pie. To say that in the past two years in Xianyang, he has been extremely depressed, and Beichen Zhenren has been pressed everywhere. If it weren't for the fact that he really had some ability and was recognized by Qin Shi Huang, I am afraid that he would have been killed by Beichen a long time ago.

And now, it's finally going to come out. Beichen Zhenren didn't go early or late, but he ran to Qilian Mountain at this time, and missed such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Beichen, Beichen, you just wait, wait for me Xu Fu to refine the elixir, and you look good!

He gladly accepted the order and asked someone to carry the divine furnace into the Taoist temple and began the great cause of alchemy in a race against time. However, what Xu Fu didn't expect was that after more than ten days of hard work, things made no progress. No matter how hard he burned the fire, the materials in the furnace did not move at all, and nothing changed.

Not enough furnace temperature?

Xu Fu secretly pondered, this Qiankun Quenching Furnace was really good, it seemed that ordinary flames were useless to it at all. If it continues to be delayed like this, I am afraid that until Beichen Lao'er comes back, he will not be able to refine the elixir.

In desperation, Xu Fu had no choice but to take out his magic weapon to take care of the house-Flame Crystal. Once this thing is mixed with charcoal, it can immediately increase the temperature of the flame dozens of times, although it is not comparable to the legendary Samadhi real fire, but its power is probably not far behind. In the whole world, there are probably no more than five Fang Shi who hold the flame crystal in their hands, and Xu Fu is one of them.

But I never thought that this unique magic weapon would cause a monstrous disaster for Xu Fu! Just after he added the flame crystals to the charcoal fire and desperately blew the wind to raise the temperature of the furnace, the materials in the Qiankun Quenching Furnace had not yet melted, but he only heard a muffled sound - the Divine Furnace cracked.

Xu Fu was so frightened that he almost fainted on the spot.

This ghost stove is His Majesty's greatest hope for immortality! How...... How can it be destroyed in your own hands? Xu Fu's three souls and seven spirits ran away halfway, and he was stunned for a day and a night at the Qiankun quenching furnace that cracked a big crack, until the boy who delivered the food desperately smashed the door and woke him up.

Xu Fu rushed out of the gate of the Danfang with a smoke, and wrote a letter for help to his senior brother who turned off the lights, at this time he had already realized that the matter of the Qiankun Quenching Furnace was probably a huge trap from the beginning, and the purpose was to come at himself.

It's not that he didn't want to escape, but the main thing is that he can't. Because along with the Divine Furnace, there were also 500 Yulin Iron Guards, and one of the orders they received from Qin Shi Huang was to keep an eye on this monk named Xu Fu to prevent him from absconding with the treasure.

After Xu Fu sent the distress letter, he locked himself in the Danfang and began to think about how to deal with the next crisis all day long. Sure enough, as he expected, within a few days, the evil star came to the door - the national teacher Beichen Zhenren, who was ordered to come to supervise the creation of the elixir of immortality.
