Chapter 923: Zuo Xiang Shows Favor
The Shangqing Palace accepts apprentices, looking at understanding and creation; Apprenticeship in Shangqing Palace, looking at the fate of master and apprentice, is the one with excellent understanding but not fate, and the master will not accept it.
In fact, He Fenglu and his group of brothers and sisters had privately speculated that the main reason why the masters were reluctant to accept their own disciples was that they were troublesome and did not spend money, because the Shangqing Palace was very poor, and the masters were also poor.
After He Fenglu entered the sect, she has been practicing martial arts with several older brothers in the door, although she has no talent in metaphysical calculation and alchemy treatment, but a few years later, she worshipped Ji Jingqing as a teacher. The reason is that one day she and Ji Jingqing met for the first time on the long steps down the mountain of the Shangqing Palace, and felt that this white-haired Taoist was very shocked, and Ji Jingqing also happened to want to accept a meticulous female disciple to help him deal with the herbs. So, He Fenglu apprenticed.
After apprenticing with the master, he followed the master back to his Taoist temple, and He Fenglu knew that the master's martial arts were a scum, and Ji Jingqing also realized that his apprentice was a big scum on the way to alchemy. But this doesn't hinder anything, Ji Jingqing knew that his apprentice liked to practice martial arts, so he found a lot of cheats in the door for her to practice, and if she couldn't, she asked her to consult the master, and from time to time gave her some unique pills that she had refined; He Fenglu saw that there was no one to sort out the medicinal materials in the Taoist temple, so he cleaned up and sorted them out when he had time, and each of them was classified into their own categories, so since she entered, the Taoist temple was much cleaner, and there were also pilgrims who came to the door to burn incense, and added some inputs.
Later, the palace master sent He Feng to protect the little aunt Chen Jiuqing, and the master gave her a lot of emergency pills when he left. It's just that although there are small winds and waves on the little aunt's side, she has never encountered a critical juncture, so He Fenglu's pill has never been used.
Now, it's finally time for the elixir to come into play!
After He Fenglu fell a few pills to the ground, the pill exploded, and the strange pink smoke immediately swallowed everyone and flooded the tree. The besieging dead did not know what it was, and they were so shocked that they retreated. In a few moments, the tracks of Zuo Xiang and the others disappeared into the pink fog, silent.
This is not the end, He Fenglu threw out a few more pills, and the dead who fell to the ground and bloomed and were engulfed by the dead who would not have time to retreat, and then a shocking coughing sound broke out in the thick fog.
The sound revealed the location of the dead man, and the right minister's guards silently stepped forward to kill him.
With smoke cover, the situation took a sharp turn. Seeing this, the remnants of the Qing king on the mountain shot sharp arrows into the dense fog without distinguishing between the enemy and me, in an attempt to annihilate them all.
In the dense fog, He Fenglu was still throwing pills on the ground, and there were more and more places that were swallowed by the dense fog. After moving to a position where there was no danger of life, Zuo Xiang immediately ordered, "Li Si, General Xuan, you two immediately lead people to arrest the bandits, be sure to stay alive." ”
These people are different from the small shrimp that are left in the empty nest, and catching one of them may get extremely valuable information.
The two of them took the order and took a few people around the thick fog to sneak up on the dead soldiers at the source of the dark arrow. While the rest of the guards protected the adults, they used the thick fog to sneak up on the dead soldiers who were coughing wildly outside, which was like digging for something.
When the guards arrived, they saw the miserable Xiang army with more than half of the dead and wounded on one side, and the mountains and forests engulfed by the strange pink fog on the other, and they couldn't help but be stunned.
Reinforcements arrived, and the sneak attack ended in failure. Four boxes of explosives exploded, 80 of the Xiang soldiers were killed and 48 were wounded, 18 people were killed and three were captured alive, and the rest disappeared into the mountains and forests.
Zuo Xiang looked at the three people who were knocked unconscious and ordered, "You must bring them back to Nanshan Pass alive." ”
Bringing it back to Nanshan Pass was about to be handed over to the wooden torture for interrogation, Li Si gave his hand, "Your Excellency, rest assured, their sharp weapons are gone, and they have also been fed medicine, and it is impossible to hurt people or commit suicide." ”
As long as they are handed over to the wooden torturers alive, these people are iron mouths and steel teeth, and they will also be pried open by the wooden torture.
Although more than half of the casualties on the side of the Xiang army, the deputy general Liu Cheng was unharmed, because of the explosion, this guy captured two of his subordinates as shields. Zuo Xiang, who saw all this, did not deal with him here, but only told him to count his injuries as soon as possible and prepare to go out of the mountain.
When he came out of the mountain under the heavy protection of the guards, Zuo Xiang had time to ask He Fenglu, "The Daoist elixir is very wonderful, this is the secret medicine of your master's sect?" ”
He Fenglu, who had slapped off the dust on his body, explained, "It's not a drug, it's a waste pill that the family teacher occasionally made when refining the pill. ”
Li Si couldn't help but ask, "I don't know what kind of pill is this waste pill for refining?" Where can I buy this elixir? ”
This waste pill is already so powerful, if it is Cheng Dan, it will be returned!
"It is a pill that can fill the stomach and nourish the stomach, and the family teacher's alchemy is just a matter of interest, and it is never sold." He Fenglu put his hands behind his back, a fairy wind bone.
This Dan master happened to get the ancient Dan book, which has a Gu Dan prescription on it, so he started practicing with great interest, hoping that after the practice, they would be able to save money for food. Although this elixir ended in failure, its rising glow made the nearby people think that there were immortals in the Taoist temple, and the incense was very strong for a while.
Li Si almost fell on the stone. This thing has a penny to do with food! This has to be eaten and exploded twice, how thick can the belly be able to bear?
Listening to He Fenglu's words, Zuo Xiang suddenly felt that Cheng Wujie, who recommended Ji Jingqing to the saint, was not kind.
After the group returned to Nanshan Pass, Xiao Nuan heard about it and couldn't help but be afraid. If it weren't for Xuan Wu's alertness, so that Zuo Xiang would be seriously injured or something directly, it would be troublesome. He better go back to Beijing as soon as possible, and come back early to have a good morning.
Knowing that Zuo Xiang was attacked in the mountains, Lu Qiyuan hurriedly came to visit, but was blocked by someone, saying that Zuo Xiang was frightened and had rested.
As shrewd as Lu Qiyuan, he immediately understood that Zuo Xiang was not happy, so he waited honestly outside the door, and waited for two hours before Zuo Xiang "woke up" and called him in.
"Lord Lu's face was very ugly when he came out, it seems that he went in, and the Prime Minister didn't give him a good face." Qiu Yue replied to Xiao Nuan.
Xiao Nuan was clear, "Zuo Xiang transferred troops to check the mountain, but Lord Lu asked Liu Cheng, the thorn in the Xiang army, to lead the team, and the one he brought is probably not a good soldier, and now that something has happened, it is strange that Zuo Xiang can give him a good face." ”
Liu Chenghao blocked the reputation of greedy for money, and the Qin family also heard about it when he went to the party, so he was a little puzzled, "Why did Lord Lu send him?" ”
Xiao Nuan watched a drop of water fall from the copper leak, and said with a smile, "Lord Lu will say that he is not careful, because he has been in office for a short time, and he doesn't know the details of the army." As for the real situation, whether the left minister believes it or not, it's their business. Since Lord Zuo Xiang woke up, let Uncle Qing bring a gift to greet him, and by the way, listen to when he will enter the incense and leave. ”
Qin Shi hurriedly nodded, "Yes, it's better to ask clearly." ”
Zhuge Qing went for a long time before coming back, and said with a wry smile, "Li Xiang said that he was frightened and unwell, and he needed to recuperate for a few days, and he would go back together when we entered Beijing." Li Xiang's help from Xuanwu and them was able to get out of danger, which should be a gesture of goodwill, and I want the two teams to be more secure on the road after they become one. ”
They themselves are quite safe, the Qin family has a bitter face, can't she go to Qinjia Village in the next few days?
