Gong Yuan's body was trembling, and she glanced at Xiaotian, tears had fallen, but she couldn't hold the glass of wine. What Cangjie said is not easy to refute, but after all, she is the daughter of the monarch, how can she salute and toast a dog in front of so many soldiers and guards?

If she did such a thing in public, she would be ridiculed by the countrymen, and she might never even be able to hold her head up. Even the king will be furious—his own daughter should be so ashamed!

Gong Yuan's appearance was so pitiful, Baoyu frowned and wanted to say something. At this moment, this request, in front of everyone's eyes, is really impossible to agree to as a gentleman, this kind of humiliation is even more excessive than killing her.

Ke Baoyu suddenly remembered what Cangjie said to Gong Yuan: "I won't let you do what you shouldn't do." And Cangjie had already said this sentence, and at this moment, he emphasized again that it was obviously useful, so he stopped talking.

Gong Yuan looked at Cangjie with tears in her eyes and said, "Sir, my father has orders, and I must not go against your wishes." It's okay to repent and confess my sins, but I can't do anything to make a toast to a dog. Because I don't represent myself, but I also represent the dignity of the king, you can not care about that, but I can't care. If you want to punish him, can he do it in a different way?"

Xiao Tian tilted his head and glanced at Gong Yuan, as if to say: "If you don't want to, forget it, I'm not rare!"

Cangjie had already drunk a lot of wine today, and the sergeants in the woods in the distance even wondered if this senior had drunk too much and let the gentleman do this in public? But Baoyu on the side could see clearly that when Cangjie spoke at the moment, there was no drunkenness in his eyes.

The senior nodded slightly and said, "Your father told you not to disobey me, but I have never said such a thing. I am only making one request at the moment, and as for whether you do it or not, it is entirely voluntary, and I will not punish you again. ”

The weeping Gong Yuan saluted to Cangjie as if relieved: "Thank you, sir! ”

Cangjie waved his hand and said: "If you don't want to, forget it, you have your reasons, and I can't say that your refusal is wrong." ...... In that case, go and take the guards and the army with you. Everyone went back and had a good rest, and they didn't have to drink with us anymore. ”

Cangjie asked Gong Yuan to go back to rest, and Gongshan Xuan and the others over there were also relieved, standing here in the middle of the night and not daring to breathe, it was really a torment. But Gong Yuan seemed to be greatly frightened, and hurriedly saluted: "Sir, are you trying to let me go?"

Cangjie nodded and said, "Yes, you don't have to follow me anymore, go back to your father." I promised your father that I would take you with me as long as you did not disobey my will. And since you can't fulfill what I just asked, the king can't blame me for not fulfilling my promise. I don't force you or punish you, I just let you go back. ”

Baoyu suddenly understood Cangjie's intentions, he had said from the beginning that he didn't want to keep Gong Yuan by his side, but he had obviously promised the monarch's request, and he would not break his promise with his identity, let alone deliberately find fault with Gong Yuan and drive Gong Yuan back. Then just let Gong Yuan salute Xiao Tianxing to toast, which made Gong Yuan have to go against his will.

If Gong Yuan still wants to follow Cangjie's side, then don't think about her status as a monarch at all, and if she still cares that she is the daughter of the monarch, then it is difficult to agree to Cangjie's request. And no matter how Gong Yuan chooses, there is actually a reason.

Gong Yuan cried: "If you don't do that, will Mr. drive me back?"

Cangjie replied, "You are crying now because you are worried that the king will punish you for not obeying his orders, and as a result, I will drive you back. But you don't have to be afraid, if the king knows what kind of thing you have refused, I am afraid that he will not blame you too much. Then he pointed in the direction of the Hunting Garden. "You can't leave if you want to, I can throw you over. But for your respectful sake, let yourself walk back on your own. ”

Gong Yuan finally left, and the guards and military formations in the woods also left with her, feeling a lot quieter. Although these people did not make the slightest noise when they were present. But this "quietness" is a very mysterious state of mind.

Baoyu Fangcai had already bowed to Cangjie and bowed to his master, and at this moment, in front of the honorable elder, of course he wanted to serve wine. Unexpectedly, Xiaotian jumped over and took the place of Gong Yuan, and its dog paws could actually pick up wine glasses and wine lifts, of course, with the assistance of the imperial method. Not only poured wine for two. Xiaotian also drank it himself, smacking his lips while drinking.

Cangjie raised his glass to Baoyu and said, "Little sir, I have to thank you today, I finally settled quietly." ”

Baoyu: "Mr. himself doesn't want Gong Yuan to stay by his side, so there is a way to let her go, why thank me?"

Cangjie sighed: "I have promised her father. If she can really become my disciple, even if she is less qualified and has a more pampered temperament, I can put more effort into teaching. But looking at today's events, she really wasn't the disciple I was looking for, so I had to send her back. Actually, this person may not be able to enter the initial realm of cultivation, but I don't want to guide her. She is not fit to worship under my door. ”

Baoyu asked again: "The junior thinks it's very strange, the monarch of the Xiangshu country should not have such a big face, so you can promise to fall such a gentleman to your side." Today's seniors have been teaching her a lesson, but at the same time, they have also given her a chance to exonerate herself so that she will not have to be punished when she returns to the national capital. Even if in the end, she refuses your request and does not follow the king's orders, the king will not be deeply responsible. ”

Cangjie smiled bitterly: "How can her father have such a big face, this is my friendship with her grandfather." I think I trampled on the monarch of the Zheng family back then, and soon after I came to the Xiangmuro country, and the monarch at that time was Gong Yuan's grandfather. Hear I'm coming. He personally greeted me when he went abroad, invited me to the palace to buy wine and entertain me, and took the initiative to take out all the utensils hidden in the country for me to observe them one by one.

I accepted it and asked him what he wanted, but the king didn't want my thanks. He said that he had the pleasure of inviting me to drink and admire the artifacts, and that I had not taken anything from him, and that it was an honor for me to have them in the country's hidden treasures. He finally asked me if I had the opportunity to guide and take care of his descendants in the future.

I came to Ba Yuan again this time, met with the monarch of the Prime Minister's room, and talked about the past. The monarch's favorite concubine moved her mind and asked the monarch to beg me to accept the palace as the heir. I told the monarch that she could follow her, and that I would guide her as long as it didn't go against my will, and I wouldn't let her do anything she shouldn't do. ”

Baoyu nodded again and again: "I see, no wonder the seniors will follow such a gentleman and daughter, but it is difficult to drive away when it looks like an eyesore." In fact, as far as I can see, you have already instructed and cared for her a lot, and even if you drive her back, she has already gained a lot. ”

Cangjie said with some emotion: "Gong Yuan followed me all the way, behaved extremely well-behaved and obedient, in fact, with her temperament, she couldn't stand it for a long time, I let her go, it was also a relief for her, don't look at her crying just now It's very pitiful, in fact, I am also relieved." And she probably doesn't know what a rare opportunity it is to be able to watch you and me drink and write essays today.

She wanted to be my disciple, but she only did what her father told her, but she didn't understand what kind of person my disciple should be, so she always didn't get in. But she didn't come in vain, at least she understood something else. ”

Baoyu: "Sir, let's not talk about this. ...... Why did you come to the Xiangmuro National Hunting Garden this time, you don't always want to hunt, right? Early spring is not the season for hunting. ”

Cangjie pointed to the undulating plains and hills in the distance and said, "Five hundred years ago, this area was also wild, and there were many tribes and wild people living here, and this was their hunting ground. Many mountains and rocks here are exposed, with vertical and horizontal lines, and there are still many carvings and petroglyphs left on them. The last time I came to Ba Yuan, I only had to look at the artifacts of the past dynasties in each city, and many traces in the mountains and wilderness had not been carefully examined. ”

Baoyu: "The mountains are so big that the relics of the past dynasties are scattered among them, and it is really difficult to find. In fact, as far as I know, there are also many carvings on the walls of many barbarian tribes and the nearby rocks. ”

Cangjie looked at Baoyu with interest and said, "These days, I want to find all the traces of the remains in this hunting garden, is Mr. Xiao interested in walking with me?"

Baoyu nodded excitedly and said, "I can't ask for the opportunity to follow Mr.

The jar of wine had been drunk while speaking, and it was impossible to see that Xiaotian's face was not blushing, but the dog was already burping and spewing wine, but he was still sitting upright. As soon as Baoyu beckoned, the pieces of meat that were piled up next to him flew over the fire, and another piece of wood flew into the fire.

He used his mana to induce the firewood to burn rapidly, and the tongues of fire flew high and wrapped around the pieces of flesh, making a sizzling sound but not burning the meat. Cangjie narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Your alchemy technique is very novel, who did you learn it from?"

Although Cangjie said that he did not ask about Baoyu's identity and origin, he was still very curious about this young man, and used this way to test it. Unexpectedly, Baoyu asked rhetorically: "Ah, is this a medicine refining technique? I'm just roasting meat!"

Cangjie said angrily and funny: "Is there such a barbecue as you! This is not refining medicine, what are you doing?"

Baoyu replied: "We can't eat so much meat, and it will spoil if we leave it like this." I'll take care of them a little and give them to the villagers, and each family will get a few pieces!"

Cangjie: "If you want to leave this meat for the villagers here, you don't need to bother so much, right?"

Baoyu explained: "The flesh and blood of this strange beast has a nourishing effect, but it will not work after a long time. I refined it a little bit to make it effective, and it was more gentle and easy to absorb, so that it was suitable for those ordinary people to eat. Otherwise, they will get angry if they eat too much, and they will also waste the nourishing effect. ”

Cangjie: "Isn't this still a medicine refining technique? It's just that you're using it to barbecue meat, not refining the elixir in your cultivation." ...... Kid, there are hundreds of pounds of meat here, cut into thousands of pieces. I've seen many monks refining medicine, but I've never seen anyone who can refine so many elixirs at one time, no, so many pieces of roast meat!"

Baoyu: "So I didn't completely refine with mana, but with the help of ordinary firepower, only a little mana to guide and assist." ”

Let Baoyu refine thousands of pieces of meat into some kind of elixir with mana, and he can't do it with only half of the night, and he can't do it if he is tired. But he wasn't refining any elixir, he just wanted to distribute the barbecue to the villagers, so that it could be preserved for a longer time, and it was more suitable for ordinary people to absorb its nourishing effects.

So he only thought he was roasting, and this kind of technique was quite novel to Cangjie. Baoyu's technique is very skillful, and he is fused with the five-colored divine lotus in his form, and the magic of running the artifact is wonderful, and it is natural to sense the spiritual effect of the horse meat when it is roasted.

Cangjie couldn't help but nod and praised: "It's the first time I've encountered such a foundation of cultivation. If it were a different person, after a day's fight, and after drinking wine in the middle of the night, he would still have the spare energy to refine thousands of elixirs, which would be unimaginable. Even with the help of ordinary firepower, the cultivation is profound enough, and the technique is even more subtle. This is not taught, it can only be practiced by oneself. ”

Baoyu laughed and said, "I'm used to it." ”

Cangjie watched it for a long time, and finally couldn't help but do it, he waved his sleeves lightly, and all the remaining pieces of meat on the ground flew over the fire, imitating Baoyu's method of refining, this senior master actually had a childlike playfulness.

Normally, when a monk refines elixir, of course, he will not set up a pyre and roast it like this, refining medicine is the same as refining utensils, and it will be destroyed if it is not very good, how can it be so casual? But Baoyu "roasted meat" and actually refined every piece of meat just right. And Cangjie did this, his technique was not as skilled as Baoyu, but his cultivation was too high, even if he directly dealt with it with mana, there would be no mistakes.

Soon there was a pile of refined "elixir roast" next to the fire. Baoyu said to Xiao Tian again: "You have eaten too much meat and drunk a lot of wine today, the power of wine can promote the operation of blood vessels, you should be active to refine and absorb that nourishing spiritual effect." I'll just send this meat from house to house, and I'll give you a bag to carry. ”

Baoyu took out all the mess in his burlap package, and then filled a bag full of meat pieces and threw it to Xiao Tian. The dog picked up the heavy burden and threw it on his back, ran across the fields and rushed into the village, where he went from house to house to deliver meat.

On this night, in fact, many people in Gongshan Village did not sleep, and so many things happened during the day, and they did not know what would happen next, so how could they sleep? People hid in the courtyard wall and poked their heads to look at the fire on the hillside here, and Cangjie, Baoyu, and others could vaguely hear what they said.

First of all, the gentleman ordered General Gongshan Xu to send a golden spike of compensation and handed it to the patriarch, and now the little gentleman ordered the spirit dog to send Jiaoma meat and distribute it to each family, and they did not dare not accept it, so they saluted and thanked the dog. Hundreds of catties of meat, with a sack can not be filled once, Xiaotian ran back and forth several times, and each family got several pieces.

There was still a small pile of the refined barbecue meat in the end, and Baoyu kept it in a sack for herself. Cangjie smiled: "Do you still want to continue drinking, or do you leave it all for the dogs?"

Baoyu pointed at the monkey and said, "These are reserved for him to eat." ”

The monkey hadn't spoken for a long time, and at this moment he was surprised: "Me?"

Baoyu blushed and smiled: "Didn't Mr. say, the next thing I have to go through the hunting garden to observe the inscriptions of the ancestors of the past dynasties, this is not a matter of one or two days." Even if my husband and I don't eat, you have to eat, so keep the meat as dry food. You can also pick some wild vegetables in the mountains and hunt some prey by the way. ”

Cangjie smiled: "You are very well prepared, it seems that you are really going far away." ”

The monkey also said, "Thank you very much! Actually, the gentleman has a lot of things on him." ”

Of course, Cangjie carried a lot of things on his body, and with his identity cultivation, how could he not have a spatial artifact like Baoyu's beast tooth. If only he were traveling alone. Since you have the heir of the monkey by your side, how can you not prepare all kinds of supplies.

......

In this hunting garden in Longma City, Baoyu followed Cangjie for three months, although it is owned by the clan of the Xiangmuro State and belongs to the monarch's hunting place, but several people pass unimpeded. In fact, in the depths of the hunting grounds, there are many inaccessible places. Even people don't go to that kind of place when they're hunting.

They searched almost all the places here, and made many unexpected discoveries, and even found the remains of an ancient monk's cave. Cangjie investigated, and then told Baoyu and Hou Gang that the owner of this cave should be a master more than two hundred years ago, and sealed the entrance of the cave to retreat. He never came out again.

Now, at least two hundred years have passed, and the former buildings have fallen into the barren grass and forests, and the magic circle that covered the outer caves has been destroyed and disappeared over the years, and there is no descendant to return to it. Even if one passes by occasionally, it will be difficult to find any traces, and even if some ruins are found, no more anomalies will be noticed.

It's a fact. If only Baoyu walked through here, he really wouldn't have noticed any clues to the cave. But those traces couldn't hide from Cangjie's eyes. According to Cangjie's judgment, the real core cave is still intact sealed, and there is still a magic circle to hide and guard. Even with Baoyu's cultivation, it would be difficult to find it, let alone open it, and if you want to force your way in, it may be very dangerous.

That ancient monk, judging from the traces of the magic circle he laid down, should have at least had the transformation realm, that is, the eight realms of cultivation, back then, and was even expected to ascend to the heavens and live forever. It is likely that this person has already sat in the cave. It may have gone to the sky, and it may even be in retreat and cultivation in the cave.

With this last possibility, Cangjie obviously didn't want to disturb this ancient cultivator, or his interest was not here. Cangjie just told Baoyu and Hou Gang about the unusual place here, and left the place with them. However, Xiao Tian was very curious and sniffed around in the mountains and forests. But with its current ability, it still doesn't know the essentials.

This made Baoyu admire it beyond measure, and under Cangjie's reminder, he found out that he had been
