The situation in Luoyang is as calm as ever, even if it is the death of the evil spirit, there are not many ripples, after all, he is just a eunuch next to Emperor Ming, maybe when Emperor Ming was alive, he still had a little influence, and now that Emperor Ming is dead, the evil spirit is just a humble little person, and it will not have any impact on the current situation.

Cao Liang rotates in the palace every two or three days, and there is quite a lot of spare time left, and occasionally he goes to the Grange to see, and the cow steward tells him that the materials for building the repeater are almost exhausted, and if the materials cannot be bought back in the future, the building of the repeater can only be suspended.

The Grange has no money, and the cost of building the catapult and keel waterwheel is huge, plus the cost of building the repeater, which has exhausted the savings of the Grange for many years.

It was spring, and the crops had just been planted, and the harvest would be at least half a year away.

Cao Liang can't afford to wait for half a year.

Moreover, the income of the Grange is limited, not only to ensure the normal operation of the Grange, but also to bear the expenses of the entire Gaoling Marquis Mansion, even if there is a slight surplus at the end of the year, it is not enough to meet Cao Liang's needs.

Finding a way to make money is an imminent problem in front of Cao Liang, and Cao Liang has already bet all the treasures on Wushisan, all the raw materials have been purchased, everything is ready, only Dongfeng is owed, and now there is a shortage of a warlock who can prepare Wushisan.

He Fu was ordered by Cao Liang to look for a warlock who could prepare Wushisan in Luoyang City, and he ran around for days, but with little success, and the warlocks who could make Wushisan were originally relatively scarce talents, and now Wushisan is prevalent in the world, these warlocks are not yet treated as treasures, Cao Liang wants to dig the corner of the wall, how difficult it is.

However, Ah Fu listened to Cao Liang's words and deliberately befriended these warlocks, but unexpectedly heard a piece of news.

It turned out that there was a little warlock named Qiu Lin who worked in Yipinju, and once he revealed to Ah Fu after drinking that he had a master named Ziyun Daoren, who was good at making five stone scatters, and Qiu Lin's skills were derived from his true inheritance.

It's just that the people of Ziyun Dao are obsessed with the development of the elixir of immortality, and they are not very interested in making Wushisan, and Yipinju has offered high prices many times and wanted to hire him to prepare Wushisan, but he has politely refused.

He Furu received the treasure and asked the people of Ziyun Dao to live in Shouyang Mountain, so he immediately reported it to Cao Liang.

Cao Liang was not very happy, although it was said that the people of Ziyun Dao were like idle clouds and wild cranes, ignoring the world, but Cao Liang wanted to try no matter what, so he immediately set off to Shouyang Mountain to find the people of Ziyun Dao.

Shouyang Mountain is not far from Luoyang, out of Luoyang to the northeast for more than 30 miles, you will arrive at Shouyang Mountain. Shouyang Mountain is the main peak of Pi Mountain, because the sunrise shines first, so it is named Shouyang Mountain.

Shouyang Mountain has the mausoleum of Emperor Cao Pi of Wei Wen, and the most famous thing about Shouyang Mountain is not only this. Legend has it that Boyi Shuqi and both of them are the sons of Guzhujun in the last years of the Shang Dynasty, legend has it that Guzhujun set up Shuqi as the heir before his death, and Shuqi gave way to Boyi after the death of Guzhujun, Boyi refused to accept it, both of them could not dispute each other, and successively defected to the Zhou State, and later King Wu cut down, the two stopped the horse and persuaded unsuccessfully, after the establishment of the Zhou Dynasty, Boyi Shuqi was unwilling to eat Zhou Su, fled to Shouyang Mountain, and picked Wei for food, until starvation to death.

Later generations praised the character of Boyi Shuqi and set up an ancestral shrine on Shouyang Mountain to pay tribute.

However, in Cao Liang's view, Uncle Bo Yi Qi is simply pedantic, a little lacking in heart, the king has no way, and the king of Wu is cutting down, representing the hearts of the people in the world. And after the world returned to Zhou, they thought that they could keep their innocence without eating Zhou Su, but they didn't know that every grass and tree in the world belonged to the Zhou Dynasty, even if the air they breathed was also from the Great Zhou Dynasty, even if they died, the place where they were buried was the same as the land of the Zhou Dynasty, the world was vast, and it was completely impossible to be alone.

Cao Liang and his entourage followed the address provided by Qiu Lin, all the way over the mountains and mountains, and went straight to the residence of the Ziyun Dao people.

The place where the people of Ziyun Dao live is the highest place of Shouyang Mountain, Ziyun Peak, where the clouds and smoke are shrouded in purple light all day long, but there is also a sense of fluttering immortals, Ziyun Dao people live in seclusion here, so they take Ziyun as the number, participate in the immortal enlightenment every day, quarry and alchemy, and do not interact with people in the world.

When it was close to noon, Cao Liang and the others climbed the Ziyun Peak, and the last section of the road was extremely steep and steep, and the horse could not walk, so Cao Liang had to abandon the horse and walk, climbing all the way, and finally came to the front of the Ziyun Taoist Temple.

Cao Liang was already tired and out of breath, and Ah Fu was even more exhausted, panting like a cow, and couldn't even take half a step, only Fang Bu looked as usual, walked calmly, and couldn't see the feeling of going over the mountains and mountains.

The master is really a master, and Cao Liang can't help but secretly admire, he is already diligent in exercising, but compared with Fang Bu, it is still too far behind.

The Purple Cloud Taoist Temple is located on the top of the mountain, which is very simple, but it is already a miracle to think that a few houses can be built on the top of this mountain.

It stands to reason that it is time to step forward and knock on the door at this time, but Cao Liang looked at Ah Fu, he was already as tired as a dog, and he couldn't breathe, and it would definitely not work to expect him to knock on the door.

And although Fang Bu was calm, he was holding the knife and motionless, this cargo pressure was only here to be Cao Liang's bodyguard, and he didn't do anything else.

Helpless, Cao Liang had to go forward to call the door in person, and after knocking for a long time, the door of the Taoist temple creaked open, revealing the face of a childish little Taoist child, looking Cao Liang up and down suspiciously, and said, "Who are you?" What's going on here? ”

Cao Liang arched his hand and said with a smile: "Cao Liang in the Lower Gaoling Marquis Mansion, I have heard the name of Ziyunxian for a long time, and I took the liberty to visit today, please pass it on." ”

Xiao Daotong pulled his face and said, "No! "Reach out and close the door.

Cao Liang hurriedly blocked it with his hand and said, "I came from afar, and I came to visit, just to see the face of Ziyun Immortal, don't refuse." ”

Xiao Daotong couldn't close the door, his face was as black as the bottom of the pot, and he said angrily: "What's the matter with you, my master said, all the red and dust vulgar guests are gone, the donor should please go back!" ”

Ah Fu gasped for a long time, and finally eased up a little, listening to the little Taoist boy speaking so unpolitely, he immediately stepped forward and said: "How can this be reasonable, you little Taoist boy dare to block the driving of our little marquis and call your master out!" ”

Xiao Daotong was not to be outdone: "You count that green onion, you want to see my master, but there is no door!" ”

The two of them refused to give in to each other and quarreled together.

Cao Liang is a black line, he was originally looking for talent at the landing gate, but when he got to the door of the house, he actually quarreled, and he really didn't know how to end it.
