Chapter 135: Alchemy Furnace

Liu Mingge escorted Li Xiaofei all the way back to the house in the northern suburbs, and quietly went back to the Qinglou to sleep.

At noon on the second day, Li Xiaofei came with a hundred ingots of gold and handed them over to Liu Ming singer with his own hands: "Mr. Liu, you spend this gold first, and I will send you the rest in a few days."

The old bustard and Master Zhou were dumbfounded: "This Lord Li is not crazy, right?" ”

"Did Master Li catch some handle in his hands?"

"I heard that Master Li is not a woman?"

"What are you guessing about? Master Li, this is called a lot of money to seek talents! ”

Shouting blindly downstairs, Liu Mingge came out of it with a sword on his back: "I bought this building!" ”

The old bustard fainted to the ground, but she never expected that this Liu Mingge would actually compete with her for the old bustard's position.

Master Zhou smiled and said, "Mr. Liu is really joking, how can a master like you come to run a green house?" ”

"Who said that a master can't run a green building? How can you sweep the world if you don't sweep a house? This green building is not well managed, how can it help the country? Liu Mingge said and came downstairs

"Everyone, this Qinglou is in charge of Mr. Liu from now on, you have to listen to Mr. Liu's orders," Li Xiaofei told in the back

"From now on, this place will have a name, just call it Weiyang Tower!" Liu Mingge drew his sword and carved the three big characters of Weiyang Tower on the pillar at the door

"Go and have someone make a plaque to hang according to this word! Clean all around this building for me again, and find some plum blossom branches to put on them! Then go buy some good paper and ink, this hall and every house must have calligraphy and painting! Liu Mingge immediately commanded everyone

"Mr. Liu, this word Weiyang is a name that can only be used in the palace, I'm afraid it's inappropriate to use it in the Qinglou?" Master Zhou looked at the three words of Weiyang Building and frowned

"You old man, you are really dead studying, there are some women and inner prisons in the harem, and there are not many women and old bustard turtle slaves in this green building? What's the difference? Do as I do, and whoever comes to ask for sin, will come to me. With that, he threw his sword upwards and pierced it directly into the beam on the roof of the building, revealing only the hilt. The frightened crowd didn't dare to say more

Li Xiaofei clapped his hands: "Mr. is good at swordsmanship, both civil and military, and has seen people!" Xiao Fei worships the service! On this snowy day, I will go back to the palace first to restore my life, and I will see Mr. again in a few days! ”

After speaking, Li Xiaofei went back to the palace to see Pharmacist Zhu, leaving a group of people to follow Liu Mingge to toss.

Li Xiaofei brought back a large sum of money this time and handed it over to the inner government, and Pharmacist Zhu held a banquet to entertain him.

During the banquet, Zhu Yaoshi's eyebrows stretched out with pride: "Xiao Fei, do you know that my two-way army opened victoriously, captured Suiyang all the way, and relieved the siege of Liyang all the way!" It seems that the recovery of Guanzhong Hebei is just around the corner. When Guanzhong and Hebei are all pacified, your old master Liu Jian is afraid that he will also surrender! Haha, when the time comes, you monarchs and ministers will be ministers in the same palace, which is very interesting! Honestly, wouldn't you feel shy? ”

Li Xiaofei also laughed: "My Majesty and I were also officials in the same dynasty in the past, today Your Majesty is the king, I am a minister, Your Majesty and I don't feel ashamed, how can I be ashamed at that time!" Haha"

"If you dare to speak, others are afraid that they will sing praises to me again! Haha, come on, drink! If you are drunk today, you will not be given a dragon bed to sleep. ”

"Haha, I'm drunk today, Your Majesty will give me to the firewood room!" After that, Li Xiaofei raised his glass again

Pharmacist Zhu and Li Xiaofei drank three cups in a row: "Xiaofei, I heard that you recently met a master?" Is there such a thing? ”

"It's really a master, the minister can't beat him, and he doesn't read as many books, let alone he has knowledge! Now the minister has asked him to run the Qinglou in the northern suburbs" Li Xiaofei replied with a smile, chuckling in his heart, it turned out that this Pharmacist Zhu had indeed been monitoring him, and he couldn't hide his every move.

"Haha, in this way, there are too many masters in this world. Since he is a master, how can he run a green house? Haha, I'm so curious."

"This person is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, swordsmanship, equestrianism, and is indeed a master, but he likes to stay in the Qinglou all day. Probably this master is a little quirky. The minister didn't dare to hide it from His Majesty, this person's name was Liu Mingge, and he seemed to be a cultivator, but his behavior was very strange. The minister doesn't know his details, so he will stabilize him first, if he can be used by His Majesty, His Majesty will have another virtuous person."

"That's it, I don't like these characters, and you shouldn't have too close contact with him! Confucianism uses literature to mess with the law, and chivalry uses martial arts to violate the ban, I know why the previous dynasty banned martial arts. Recently, there have been many chivalrous people in Jinling City, and some of them have even killed officials of the imperial court, and they have not been arrested until now! I hope you don't get involved! Pharmacist Zhu's eyes suddenly became stern, and it seemed that he suspected that Liu Mingge had killed his internal guard.

"Haha, doesn't Your Majesty understand the minister, the minister is a useless person, it's just greedy for money and lustful, these characters in the rivers and lakes, I just don't want to offend them, I don't dare to deal with them in private."

"I still believe you, you claim to be greedy for money, but you bring more money to the inner palace every month than the people sent by the palace to run in other places combined. I can't tell if they're greedy for money or you're incorruptible! If a person doesn't want to be famous or wealthy, what is he trying to do? I'm very interested! Li Xiaofei, today we are relative monarchs and ministers, and we were brothers, can you tell me your true words! Pharmacist Zhu stared at Li Xiaofei, his eyes full of murderous aura

"Your Majesty, Pharmacist Zhu! I'm going to tell you all about it today! Li Xiaofei spread out his hands and sat crookedly, also looking at Pharmacist Zhu

"Haha, I finally said it, okay, I've been waiting for this day for a long time!" Pharmacist Zhu didn't smile and continued to stare at Li Xiaofei

"I'm a person, I can be a high-ranking official anywhere, just to be an official, why should I come to you to worry about being afraid, isn't it good for me to hug left and right in Xiangyang?" Li Xiaofei complained

"Haha, that's right, so you came to be a spy for Liu Jianlai! Finally admit it! Pharmacist Zhu thought he was about to get the answer he wanted, and slowly got up

"Bah, I've been a spy and eaten too much to build a tomb and a temple? I don't know if you want tens of thousands of troops to defect before the battle? Then go back to Liu Jian and continue to be an official, anyway, I have to take such a big risk? I'm a little stupid, but I'm not stupid to that point. To tell you the truth, I just wanted to enter the palace more and find the alchemy furnace of Emperor Ming of the previous dynasty! ”

Pharmacist Zhu hurriedly sat down again, his face full of surprise: "You kid deceived me all over, just to find a bunch of broken copper and iron?" Haha, you can't lie, you can't make up a story! ”

"Hehe, you're smarter than me, but you don't know everything in this world. Think about what it was like when you last saw Emperor Ming, and ask the person who collected the funeral for Emperor Ming what he saw! Li Xiaofei was completely unkind at this time, and even the title of Your Majesty was omitted.

Zhu Yaoshi remembered that when he saw Emperor Ming for the first and last time, Emperor Ming had already shown signs of decay, but he could talk to them with full of anger, if Emperor Ming hadn't taken poison himself, I was afraid that Emperor Ming would drag his rotten body and continue to be an emperor for a while.

"You, do you mean that the emperor took the pill back then?" Pharmacist Zhu was also interested, after all, if a person who was already a dead corpse could live for a while longer after taking the pill, then what would happen if he took the pill with such a strong body?

"Of course, Emperor Ming was sick back then, if it wasn't for Murong Ling to give him a life, I'm afraid Emperor Ming would have died before you went south. Later, Emperor Ming secretly ordered someone to refine the pill, and after taking the pill, he became energetic and could go to court every day. It can be said that if you hadn't gone south so quickly, maybe Emperor Ming would have solved those families with his own hands! I was looking for this alchemy furnace in order to find the residue in the furnace so that someone could tell what the materials were. I have long been tired of this high-ranking official in the world, if I can refine the elixir of becoming an immortal, even if I am the emperor, I will not be bothered! ”

"Haha, you kid really have another purpose, but I didn't expect your goal to be so high. I'm a little interested in this story, haha, since you're here to find the alchemy furnace to refine the elixir, then I'll give you this broken copper and iron, and I'll send someone else to build the temple in the northern suburbs. You just stay and alchemy! "Pharmacist Zhu actually didn't believe what Li Xiaofei said, so he just took the opportunity to detain Li Xiaofei.

"Your Majesty, I hope Your Majesty's words count, and the minister will stay for alchemy! However, Your Majesty still has to find Taoist classics and cultivators for the ministers, and the ministers alone can't refine the Dan! Li Xiaofei knelt down to thank him, looking sincere.

Pharmacist Zhu was stunned, he thought that Li Xiaofei would refuse, after all, there was a large amount of money to be made every day outside, and it was very boring to be locked up in the palace for alchemy.

"Okay, I'll find Taoist priests and classics for you tomorrow, and you can rest assured that you can refine the pill, that's right. I also have an old friend Qiu Xingzhi who is cultivating in Sanqingguan, and I miss him very much, so I just want to come back and discuss the Tao alchemy with you. Haha, I'm relieved this time. Tonight, you can follow the internal guards to the Wuji Hall of Alchemy for the night! ”

After Pharmacist Zhu finished speaking, four internal guards came over, and Li Xiaofei got up to say goodbye to Pharmacist Zhu and followed the internal guards to the Wuji Palace.

The location of the Wuji Hall was extremely cold, and it was covered with ice and snow at the moment, and the five people carrying lanterns and stepping on the ice and snow pushed open the broken palace gate, and many wild cats inside quickly ran away.

The four inner guards lit the palace lamp in the hall, and suddenly the room was lit up, and there were many bronze mirrors on the top of the original Wuji Palace, although they were now covered with a layer of ash, but they still scattered the firelight.

The alchemy furnace of more than two people stood in the middle of the hall, scattered around some charcoal medicinal herbs and some animal corpses, and there were some antlers and horns in the corner of the hall.

Li Xiaofei looked around, but did not find the elixir, and the five of them slowly approached the alchemy furnace.

The four internal guards were about to climb up to see the situation inside the Dan furnace, but Li Xiaofei hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop it: "There is something inside!" ”

The five of them put their ears to the side of the Dan furnace, only to hear the sound of water inside, as if there was some living thing in the water.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense: "Master Li, this is the cold palace of the former dynasty, this is the middle of the night, we still have to come back tomorrow morning." Adults can go to our room and rest! ”

Li Xiaofei looked at them, and then looked at the strange runes and murals on the walls of the main hall: "Okay, come back tomorrow morning!" The situation in this cold palace is unknown, and there are also things in the Dan furnace, so it is not wise to sleep here rashly! ”

The five men exited the temple gate and went back to the guard room to rest.

On the beams of the Infinity Palace, several pairs of eyes kept staring at them and leaving!
