After Cao Yin left, Han Mo slowly walked into the room, walked to the side of the bed, and looked at the red sleeves lying quietly on the bed, even when she was unconscious, this girl's face was resolute. ()

Although her face was no longer as pale and terrible as before, it had not returned to its former ruddyness, like a beautiful and quiet jasmine. Lihua is blooming quietly.

It was the woman in front of her who stepped forward without hesitation and blocked a fatal arrow for herself.

Han Mo squatted down beside the bed, looking at the beautiful and resolute face of the red sleeves, stunned.

Redsleeves' breathing was still weak, but this weak breath at least proved that she was still alive.

"Red sleeves, don't worry, I won't let you suffer this arrow in vain!" Han Mo's voice was soft, and he looked at the red sleeves: "The person who hurts you is the Heavenly King Laozi, and I will kill him too!" ”

……

……

As long as you are from Qingguo, you will know the name of Qi Tianguan, as long as you are a person from Shangjing, you will know that Qi Tianguan is located in the north direction of Shangjing, and it is not too far away from Qinggong in Shangjing.

Although Qitianguan is not as beautiful as the huge and gorgeous Qing Palace, but in the capital city, it is also a huge building complex, covering a huge area, the palace is magnificent, the scenery is elegant, dozens of buildings, buildings, corridors, halls, pavilions, gardens are clear and distinct, all kinds of buildings are Taoist pattern decoration and duckweed carving, Ganoderma lucidum, cranes, gossip, green cow ......!

The center of Qitianguan is the altar of worship, huge and magnificent, here is the place where the royal worship of heaven and ancestors, it is extraordinary, so the luxury of building is incomparable, beautiful and atmospheric.

Layers of Taoist model buildings, try to create the Taoist ten caves, thirty-six small caves, seventy-two blessed land realm, the whole Qitian Temple is quiet and peaceful, every high wall, will be written "quiet and inactive", "leave Beijing to sit and forget" and other big characters.

There are many green pine trees in the Taoist temple, if you can overlook the sky in the capital, but you can clearly see a thick green, in the splendid and majestic Shangjing City, this green can give people a sense of peace.

Speaking from the heart, being in this Qitian view can indeed make people feel that they have forgotten about things and themselves, and make people feel comfortable all over their bodies.

At the southeast foot of the Monkey Temple, there is a beautiful courtyard, and everyone in the Taoist Temple knows that this is the residence of Yuan Daoling, the protector of the Monkey Temple.

The master of Qi Tianguan is the pure yang heavenly master, five years ago was given by the saint to be named the national protector of the country, so people call him the pure yang national teacher, in addition to this deep royal trust of the national protector of the national teacher, there are still four protectors in the Qi Tianguan, this Yuan Daoling is one of them, in the Qi Tian view of the status is extremely high, naturally also has his own residence.

In the eyes of the world, this Qitian Temple is a royal Taoist temple, which is extremely majestic, but those who know the details understand that in addition to being responsible for the royal rituals of worshiping the heavens and worshiping ancestors, this Qitian Temple is actually an out-and-out alchemy concept.

The greatest function of this Taoist temple is to refine various elixirs for the emperor and empress.

The efficacy of the pills naturally has its own characteristics, including those that nourish the body and nourish the body, those that maintain the appearance and beautify the face, and those that nourish the blood and ventilation, in addition, there are naturally some other effective pills.

Those who know the inside story know that Emperor Chongren is weak, but now he can still connect the three royal daughters every night, which is supported by the pills refined by Qi Tianguan.

But for Qi Tianguan, their ultimate goal was to refine the elixir of immortality that the emperor needed most.

Alchemy is a general term, divided into inner Danshu and outer Danshu, for the Taoist priests themselves, many people are using themselves as furnaces, absorbing the aura of heaven and earth, refining the so-called inner golden pill, in order to increase their longevity, this is the inner Danshu.

The outer pill technique is to use the copper furnace as the tripod to collect all kinds of elixirs and refine them into real gold pills.

Alchemy requires huge financial and material resources, even a wealthy businessman, and he is not able to support a long-term alchemy business, so usually speaking, only the emperor and nobles have huge financial resources to support this silver-burning project.

Alchemy began in the middle of the Warring States period, after the Qin and Han dynasties, it became popular in the world, with the prevalence of alchemy, although the wealthy businessmen with solid family resources did not have the financial resources to support the Taoist priests to refine the elixir of immortality, but spent a huge amount of money to refine some elixirs that nourished qi and prolonged life, that was also a lot of people, and the Taoist alchemy school also prospered.

In the previous dynasties, the wind of alchemy was widely prevalent, up to the emperor, the order of rich businessmen and giants, will collect alchemy Taoists, spend money on alchemy, poor and extravagant, countless dignitaries and nobles in order to support alchemy, wantonly loot the people's fat and people's ointment, I have to say, this is also one of the reasons for the demise of the Qi State.

After the destruction of the Qi State, the world was divided, and the alchemy style of other countries disappeared, but the Qing State inherited the wind of the Qi State, although the alchemy atmosphere was far inferior to the previous dynasty, but it did not die.

Qingguo's finances, the annual expenditure in Qi Tianguan, is an astronomical amount.

The four great protectors of Qi Tianguan are actually the four main forces of alchemy.

The main alchemist is naturally the Guan Zhu Pure Yang National Master, two of which are the Dharma Protector Heavenly Masters who follow him to assist in the retreat of alchemy, while the other two Dharma Protector Heavenly Masters are responsible for collecting various alchemy medicines.

Items such as hardware, three yellows, mound stones, dansha, and saltpeter are also easy to get, but there are many elixirs and exotic herbs that are often searched by the disciples of the Taoist Temple led by the Dharma Protector Heavenly Master.

The three hundred Taoist disciples in the Taoist temple are actually a huge alchemy team for the royal alchemy.

Yuan Daoling is one of the Dharma Protector Heavenly Masters who has collected all kinds of elixirs.

This small courtyard is located in the southeast corner, remote and quiet, no one dares to come and disturb at all, one is set by the rules, and the other is that no one really wants to enter this courtyard, everyone knows that this Yuan Daoling collects all kinds of strange medicines, and even has a lot of poisonous insects, this courtyard gives people the feeling that it is a place full of poisonous smell, if it is not a last resort, naturally no one wants to approach here.

……

In a gloomy house in this courtyard, Yuan Daoling was walking back and forth in the house with a gloomy face, looking uneasy, he was wearing a Taoist robe, and the room was also filled with a strange smell of medicine.

On a chair in the corner, a man in black was sitting in the chair, his body looked very thin, as if he was nestled in a large chair.

This man was in his thirties, with dark skin, thin eyebrows, and small eyes, but his expression was very calm, and his small eyes were slightly squinted, and if he didn't look closely, he would think that his eyes were closed.

Yuan Daoling walked back and forth more than a dozen times, and finally stopped, looked at the man in black, and complained: "Didn't you say that your archery skills are full of shots?" This time it will be missed...... This is a big problem! ”

Although he was complaining, his tone was not very cold, and he seemed to be very scruple about this man in black.

The man in black said lightly: "I didn't expect his people to be so loyal, that arrow would have been enough to kill him...... But it was blocked by that woman, and that woman ...... I'm afraid I'm dead! ”

"I don't care if that woman dies or not." Yuan Daoling said angrily: "I want Han Mo's life." After all the hard work to lay out this game, it was to prepare your arrow to kill Han Mo, but ......! ”

"Not once, and next time." The man in black said lightly: "You yourself said that your people will not leave any flaws, they can't catch the handle, since this is the case, there is nothing to worry about." ”

Yuan Dao sat down on the chair opposite angrily, his eyelids were still jumping, and his eyes flashed with a sense of unease.

"Are you scared?" The man in black stared at Yuan Daoling: "What are you afraid of?" ”

Yuan Daoling said: "I always feel that things will not go so smoothly...... My right eyelid has been jumping since last night...... I always feel like something is going to happen! ”

The black-clothed man's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he looked at Yuan Daoling coldly: "You promised me in advance that there will be no problems in all links, I only need to shoot arrows and kill people!" ”

Yuan Daoling listened to the other party's snake-like voice, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he hurriedly said, "This ...... That's right. Not bad...... Surely something can't go wrong! He looked a little flustered, and actually raised his arm and wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve.

The man in black said solemnly: "It is precisely because of your promise that I agreed to make a move." Although it failed, it ...... As long as there are no problems with your people, there are even fewer problems on my side. One of them was chasing me, and I dodged him, and made a big detour to make sure no one was following, and then I came back ......! ”

"Someone is following you, why don't you kill him?" Yuan Daoling was a little dissatisfied.

The man in black sneered, "Do you think I like to kill people? Since he can dodge, there is no need to kill him. He stared at Yuan Daoling's face, and his voice was as cold as a poisonous snake: "But your reaction now makes me have to doubt you, the plan you planned is really foolproof?" Can you guarantee that no one will be able to find out here? ”

"It should ...... It shouldn't be a problem! ”

The man in black stood up suddenly, his eyes were cold: "There shouldn't be a problem?" So, aren't you sure? ”

"No...... No. Yuan Daoling settled down, gritted his teeth and said, "There will never be a problem!" ”

"That's good." The man in black said coldly: "I can warn you, once they suspect that this matter is related to Qi Tianguan, if they don't kill you, I will kill you too." ”

Yuan Daoling couldn't help but fight a cold war.

"I'm not worried about others." After being silent for a moment, Yuan Daoling finally said, "But since Han Mo is not dead, this matter will definitely alarm the imperial court." I...... I'm worried that the queen will detect a clue? ”

"Is that woman really that powerful?" The man in black sneered.

Yuan Daoling sighed: "I have always felt that the queen has the eye of heaven, and there seems to be nothing in this world that she doesn't know." Since this matter has failed...... I think I'd better go and see her, probe her first, and if the situation is not right, I'd better tell her about it, otherwise...... Otherwise, if she really wants to suspect me, things will be more troublesome? ”

"You're not scaring yourself, are you?" The man in black said lightly: "Since you have arranged it so carefully, how can that woman know?" How could she have suspected you? ”

Yuan Daoling sighed: "I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of just in case." I thought she didn't know a lot of things before, but she did. Thankfully, it wasn't a big deal, and it didn't have serious consequences. But this time the stakes are high, and if she does guess my head, I won't report it to her...... The consequences are unimaginable! ”

"She's so powerful, do you know the relationship between you and me? Do you know I'm with you? ”

Yuan Daoling immediately affirmed: "Don't worry about this, if there is anything she doesn't know, it is your existence." She would never know about this! ”

"Then what are you going to say when you go to see her?"

Yuan Daoling's eyes rolled, and he smiled: "Actually, the queen may not want to kill Han Mo in her heart, I will do it for her, she may not be unhappy." I just need to find a good explanation, and I will definitely be able to get through. ”
