The snow doll is already in place, so it is urgent to escort the old tree roots and blood lingzhi.

If it is delivered late, and the opportunity to refine the medicine of the Divine Science is missed, then it will not make much sense.

Although the snow doll had already left Pengzhou Mansion first, Shen Qingchun's team walked slowly, after all, the snow doll was not easy to serve, and it needed to stop often, and I added ice bricks to the carriage.

Therefore, Wen Chaotian was sure that the team escorted by Pengzhou Mansion would arrive first.

In this matter, Wen Chaotian originally planned to let the cow inspect it.

However, as an inspector, Niu Inspector could not leave the defense ground without the approval of the Ministry of War.

As for the other personnel in Pengzhou Mansion, he was not at ease.

In this way, Ma Qianli, who is sleek and skilled in martial arts, has become the best candidate.

Of course, the so-called best candidates are only the best candidates for supporting roles.

Because the real protagonist of the escort is Duan Chu, Wen Chaotian's most trusted one.

……

After Bu Gao ascended and left, Duan Chu had just returned from the road to find Ma Qingshuang, and before he had time to rest, he was sent by Wen Chaotian to go to the capital again.

This made Zhao Ruyi and Zhu Zimo, who got the news, have a lot of complaints about Wen Chaotian.

"It's been a long time since I've eaten with Dugua." Zhu Zimo complained.

"I don't know how many days it will take before I can meet with the little enemy." Zhao Ruyi also complained.

But complaining is complaining, Duan Chu's career, they must support.

So the two of them bid farewell hand in hand, watching Duan Chu and Ma Qianli drift apart.

As soon as Duan Chu left, the harmonious atmosphere of his sister and sister immediately collapsed.

The two turned into the original appearance of a pair of rivals in love.

"Humph!" Zhu Zimo shook off Zhao Ruyi's hand.

"Cut!" Zhao Ruyi brushed his sleeves away.

……

Pengzhou Mansion escorted this time, and a total of eight people were in the group.

In addition to Duan Chu and Ma Qianli, there are also two coachmen, as well as four kung fu best catchers.

Duan Chu and Ma Qianli sat in the carriage, guarding the baby.

All four of them rode horses, two of them drove in front of the carriage, and two of them broke off after the carriage.

And the two coachmen, in order to ensure sobriety, had to take turns driving.

The place there is very large, one driver can drive, and two can rest half-lying.

The blood lingzhi and the old tree roots have been sealed in a box by Xiang'er.

The gaps in the boxes were also tightly stuffed with satin silk.

If the cattle patrol were here, they would definitely joke and say, open it up and take a look.

But now in the carriage, there is Ma Qianli, who lost his daughter, and Duan Chu, who was wronged for no reason.

The two were relatively silent.

Ma Qianli's hair has turned half white these days, and even though Duan Chu is refreshed, he is embarrassed to embarrass Ma Qianli at this time.

He took out the wine bag and took a sip, and handed a small wine jug to Ma Qianli.

"Ma Zhutou, seeing that your dark circles are so heavy, you haven't been able to sleep peacefully all night lately, right? The road ahead is far away, you better squint for a while, if there is something, I will call you. ”

……

In fact, now that the world is peaceful, there is basically no one blocking the road and robbing anymore.

Even if there were three or two strongmen gathered, they would not dare to loot the convoy of the official mansion.

In addition, there is Duan Chu, a top master who escorts the car, so it is basically a smooth journey.

Except for the detour in Jinan Mansion that surpassed Shen Qingchun's team, there was basically no trouble.

In the end, Duan Chu and Ma Qianli did arrive first, and arrived in the capital three days earlier than Shen Qingchun.

That night, Ma Qianli went to find a place to stay, while Duan Chu took Wen Chaotian's name card and went to Zhang Gongmao's residence first.

Zhang Ge was very busy, so Menzi accepted the letter and promised to hand it over and let Duan Chu come back the day after tomorrow.

On the third day, Duan Chu went again.

It was the housekeeper of the Zhang Mansion who received him this time.

The housekeeper is very polite, but there is a sense of distance in this politeness.

Presumably, he has dealt with the people sent by the magistrates, I don't know how many.

The housekeeper handed over an official letter with a stamp to Duan Chu.

"My lord said, take this official document to the Qintian Prison Divine Division, find the Duan Dynasty to use the Taoist, and then hand over the things, after the delivery is successful, come here again with the receipt, and take the reply letter from my lord to Lord Wen."

After the housekeeper finished speaking, he politely said hard work, turned his head and left.

Duan Chu took the official letter, went to the place where he stayed, carried the box with Ma Qianli, and went to Qin Tianjian again.

There is no way, there are too many dignitaries in the capital.

In the area where Qin Tianjian is located, ordinary people and other carriages are not allowed to enter.

Ma Qianli looked left and right, the flow of people was weaving, and he also sighed that the capital was indeed prosperous.

"At the feet of the Son of Heaven, there are many exquisitenesses, this one can't sit in a sedan chair, that one can only ride a horse, sit in a sedan chair, what grade is matched with a few people to lift, there are too many ways!"

Duan Chu said: "The emperor is ...... old"

Ma Qianli hurriedly said: "Master Duan, on the streets of the capital, don't call it that. ”

Duan Chu smiled, he just wanted to hurry up and complete the task and go back to reunite with his sisters and sisters.

Fortunately, the box was not heavy, and the two of them carried it to Qin Tianjian.

After waiting at the door for half an hour, the doorman led Duan Chu and the others in.

A little Taoist boy took them over from the doorman's hands.

Xiao Daotong is Duan Chaoyong's apprentice, with a cold attitude, without any monk's cultivation.

"My master originally only wanted to accept things, and didn't have time to see you, but you were lucky, he asked your name, and he wanted to see you, at noon, I wanted to squint for a while......"

The meaning of the fairy tale, it is a great honor for you to meet my master.

And you have come this time to disturb my rest.

When Ma Qianli heard this, he hurriedly asked Duan Chu to hold the box alone, and he took out a piece of silver and stuffed it into Xiao Daotong's sleeve.

Xiao Daotong accepted the money, and immediately turned into another face.

He was still turning around just now, but this time he finally walked in a straight line: "Two, follow me closely." ”

So I came to a large room, which was cluttered with all kinds of strange things.

The eight shells of the king brought by Bu Gaosheng from Zhongwu County are being smashed into powder.

And the snake head that Bai Qieming brought from Maling Mountain, the emperor was tired of playing with it, and now it also appears here.

Someone is sawing the crown of a snake on the head of a snake with a saw.

Animals become essence and gather Neidan, this thousand-year-old snake, but there is no Neidan.

Because of its inner dan, it has been used to turn the snake crown.

Therefore, this snake crown is the most aura part of the thousand-year-old snake.

This is also the reason for sawing off the crown of the snake.

The serpent's crown was too strong, and there were three of them next to it, and the saws with broken jagged teeth were thrown into the ground.

In the open space in the middle of the room, there is a four-legged tripod.

Under the big ding, there is a raging charcoal fire.

Inside the big ding, there is boiling boiling water.

Duan Chaoyong stood in front of a grinding plate-sized chopping board, wearing a robe and an apron, sweating profusely.

It's early summer, and there's a charcoal fire burning in the room, so how can it not be hot!

Xiao Daotong took Duan Chu and Ma Qianli to Duan Chaoyong's side and flashed them to the side.

Duan Chao was holding a cleaver in his hand and was distracted.

Duan Chu and Ma Qianli could only put the box on the ground and wait for Duan Chaoyong to speak.

After a long time, Duan Chaoyong's eyelids collapsed.

"Two, are you from Pengzhou Mansion?"

Duan Chu nodded and said yes.

"Wen Chaotian said that there are spiritual roots of thousand-year-old trees, as well as blood lingzhi, where is it?"

Duan Chao called Wen Chaotian by his name, and he didn't take this four-grade prefect in his eyes at all.

Ma Qianli hurriedly opened the box.

Duan Chaoyong said again: "The spiritual roots of the old tree must be coiled up to be effective, the kind of loose ones have lost their spiritual energy, and there is no hope of recovery." ”

Ma Qianli hurriedly moved the box to Duan Chaoyong for him to see.

"Immortal Chief, look, this old tree spirit root is coiled now, and it is still adsorbed on the tree nodule, just like a sleeping baby, and it is obvious that the spiritual energy is still there."

Duan Chaoyong stretched out his hand and took the old tree out of the box.

Duan Chu also thought that Duan Chaoyong would treat such a precious thing with caution.

As a result, Duan Chao used to root the old tree, took it down from the nodule, threw the nodule into the charcoal fire of Dading with a shake of his hand, and then put the roots of the old tree on the cutting board, and picked up the splitting knife to chop.

Since the roots of the old tree have aura, they must have feelings.

Under the knife cut, the old root let out a baby-like whimper, and Duan Chu was upset when he heard it.

Duan Chaoyong didn't feel it, he only cared about slicing.

If the roots of the old tree are unfolded, there will be three or four feet.

As a result, Duan Chaoyong only used a little more than a foot.

More than this foot was cut into thin slices by him and thrown into the big ding.

Most of the remaining roots were used by Duan Chao and thrown into the charcoal fire under the big ding.

"Wasteful, wasteful!" Duan Chu couldn't help but say in his heart.

Ma Qianli was also thinking the same way, looking at most of the old roots, and screaming in the fire.

The screams grew quieter, and the old roots were soon burned to ashes.

As for the blood lingzhi, Duan Chao handled it more casually.

"Master, do you want to put it in the medicinal soup as well?" Xiao Daotong asked.

Duan Chaoyong shook his head, and casually used a dirty basket to fill the blood lingzhi.

"The snow doll is here soon, he has a very bad taste, and he only eats blood lingzhi, so these blood lingzhi are kept for the snow doll to eat, and when he is full, we can use him as a medicine primer."

After Duan Chaoyong finished speaking, he kicked the basket into the corner with his foot.

"Master, it's dirty." Xiao Daotong said.

Duan Chao glared at Xiao Daotong: "Dirty? Can't you wash the snow doll when you feed it? ”

Xiao Daotong listened to the reprimand, and he didn't dare to come out, so Nuo Nuo retreated.

Duan Chaoyong walked to the edge of the big ding again, and used a big spoon five or six feet long, which seemed to be made of silver, and stirred and stirred in the big ding.

As he stirred, he could see a lot of strange things floating.

That pot of medicinal soup, I don't know how many days it has been stewed, the color is white and yellow.

When Duan Chu saw it, he definitely didn't feel clean, and he would definitely get sick if he drank it.

Duan Chao stirred for a while, recited a few more verses, and then burned a talisman, threw the talisman ashes into the medicinal soup, and continued to stir up.

Duan Chu and Ma Qianli didn't get his receipt, so they could only stand there and wait.

It wasn't until Duan Chao was done with his work that he came over.

He took off his apron, took the pen and paper handed by Xiao Daotong, and wrote a receipt to Duan Chu.

Duan Chu just wanted to leave with the receipt, Duan Chao said: "Wait, the ink is not dry!" Two, follow the poor road to the side room to rest, the ink is dry, and it is not too late for you to leave. ”

Duan Chu couldn't stand the smell and temperature here, and didn't want to stay here.

Ma Qianli didn't want to.

Duan Chu, this young man, couldn't stand the smell of all kinds of strange things, not to mention him, who was about to be fifty years old!

Xiao Daotong saw that they were embarrassed, and reprimanded: "My master keeps you, that is to enlighten you, it is difficult for ordinary people to see my master, you still don't thank you!" ”

Duan Chu really wanted to give this little Taoist boy a slap.

Ma Qianli hurriedly grabbed him, signaled him to bear with him, don't be rash, and then took him to follow Duan Chaoyong and walked into the side room.

The taste in the side room is a little better, not as choking as in the big room, and not as hot as in the big room.

Duan Chaoyong didn't look at Ma Qianli, but stared at Duan Chu.

"You also have the surname Duan? A section of 10,000 broken corpses? Duan Chao asked Duan Chu with slanted eyes.

His tone was a little strange.

How to say it, it's like saying, you don't deserve the surname Duan.

Duan Chu couldn't stand Duan Chao's attitude, and replied stiffly: "Yes, my surname is Duan, and I have two paragraphs of Duan!" ”

"You must be carrying an eyebrow knife in your arms, take it out and show it to Poor Dao!" After Duan Chaoyong finished speaking, he stretched out his hand in front of Duan Chu.

Hearing Duan Chao's question, Duan Chu couldn't help but be stunned.

How did he know that I had an eyebrow knife in my arms?
