Chapter 600: Divine Beast Neidan

Seeing that his mother was in a coma, Xiaowan was no longer in a hurry to say something, and helped his mother to bed with his family first, and invited a doctor to see him.

Hearing the doctor say that her mother was not worried about her life for the time being, Xiaowan asked the second brother and her father to go to another room with her to explain the whole story.

Xiaopen has always trusted Ling Mei, and she knows where the keys to all the cabinets are. When she went out that day, she found the key, took out the house deed and title deed, and took them all away. The small basin immersed in sorrow did not notice anything unusual at all.

Originally, Xiaowan's husband wanted to try his best to save Xiaowan, but after Ling Mei brought those things to him, he was shaken again.

If Ling Mei's ugly deeds are poked out, even if she takes the house deed and land deed and goes to the yamen to sue her, the government will most likely sentence it back to Xiaopan's family.

However, how the government decides depends on how the officials want to judge. Xiaowan's father-in-law is the prefect, and her husband is also familiar with people in the officialdom, if they accept Ling Mei, they are likely to award the house and land to Ling Mei.

Hearing this, Xiao Basin didn't believe that Ling Mei would be vicious to such an extent, he rushed into the house like crazy, opened the tightly locked boxes and cabinets, and saw that it was empty. He had to believe, that he had always loved a poisonous snake.

Xiaopen's father was so angry that he beat his chest, but he still had a trace of reason, and he knew that the current few people in the family could not solve the problem, so he asked someone to find the small bucket back.

After the small barrel returned, he first went to the prefect and asked him to put Ling Mei in prison and return the title deed to his family.

The prefect reluctantly agreed, but he made his own calculations. To do what the keg said, you have to admit that your son is at fault, and he can't hold his head up in front of his in-laws for the rest of his life.

Moreover, he wants to be promoted again and needs money to pave the way for him. Xiaowan's mother's family is rich, but it doesn't belong to her in-law's family. He knew that Xiaowan was a good daughter-in-law, but the daughter-in-law was definitely not as important as his son.

The prefect thought about it and made a decision, and he gave the keg two options.

First, make the scandal of the family public, and drag Sister Ling to the pig cage. Xiaowan's husband and Xiaowan separated, and the deed of ownership was returned, and the relationship between the two families was severed.

Second, hide the truth of the matter, let his son take her as a concubine, and get the title deed out of her hands. Then, half of the property was returned, and half of the property was given to the prefect's family. As for why half of the property was given, it was to let Xiaowan keep the status of the young grandmother, and also to protect the reputation of several families.

The prefect said that he could get people to prove that Ling Mei had committed suicide because she failed to have children, and that it was not Ling Mei who gave his son as a concubine, but twin sisters who had been separated for many years. Such a lie can save the face of several families.

The keg doesn't know how to choose, although the first one has no loss of profit, but the reputation will be damaged. He didn't want things to go to the point of losing both, so he was really entangled and difficult to make a decision, so he had to go home and discuss with his relatives.

The little pot who was the most hurt in this incident chose the second one, he didn't want Ling Mei to die tragically, and he didn't want his parents to be gossiped about.

Another small bowl that was directly hurt, she also chose the second one, she knew that if she broke off the relationship with the prefect's family, she would not be able to take away her son, and she was reluctant to take her young son.

Since they both chose that way, the bucket and their parents had no choice but to agree to the second one.

For Xiaopen's family, losing half of their property is still a local wealthy family, and it is difficult to gain a foothold in the local area if they lose face.

The days passed slowly, and no matter how much Xiaowan hated Ling Mei, he couldn't change the fait accompli. She didn't want to serve a husband with her, but for the sake of her son, she couldn't leave her husband's house, so she separated the yard to avoid seeing Ling Mei.

The courtyard was separated, out of sight and out of mind, but two years passed peacefully.

Xiao Basin tried not to think about those troubles, he was busy in the fields all day long. He could have just flipped through the ledger and assigned someone else to do the work, but he preferred to work in the field himself.

His heart is very desolate, and when he watches the harvest of the crops he grows, his heart will be a little lively.

The old farmers said that the small pots were not planting crops, they were embroidering flowers in the fields, and they were too finely cultivated.

Under his meticulous cultivation, his family's fields produce the best grains, fruits and vegetables, and many farmers learn from him.

When there were more people who came to learn, he became famous, and the lotus root he planted was fat, white and sweet, and was chosen as a tribute.

In this way, there are often dignitaries and nobles who come to him to ask for fruits and vegetables, and even the princes who come here to play come to visit in person to try them.

After the prince tasted the tribute lotus root, he was interested again and wanted to see how the lotus root was dug up. They led him to Lingtang, because Lianling had grown up in one place.

The prince only cared about watching others dig lotus roots, but a Taoist priest who came with the prince frowned and looked at the environment of Lingtang.

Half a month later, the prince sent someone to buy the small pot family's field. Xiao Basin refused without thinking about it, those fields were not only property for him, but also the sustenance of his soul.

Especially that Lingtang, which carries his too good memories. When he was about to be divided into half of the fields by the prefect, he would rather exchange 200 acres of fertile rice fields for Lingtang, but now how can he sell this half of the land including Lingtang?

He did not want to sell the land, so the people of the palace kept raising the price, but he still refused. Later, the people in the palace no longer raised the price, directly threatened him, and if he did not compromise, he would end up ruined.

Xiaopen doesn't understand, he just wants to live his life quietly, why does there always have such and such a mess, and someone always forces him to do this?

After learning about this, unlike Xiao Pen, who would only be depressed, Xiao Ke secretly asked someone to inquire, why did the prince fall in love with their family's field?

The result of the inquiry was that the Taoist priest beside the prince could observe the qi and search for treasures, and saw that there were ancient treasures under the Lingtang. Legend has it that if you get such a treasure, you can have supreme mana without cultivating.

In order to get the treasure and not leak the news that there is a treasure in Lingtang, of course, he pretended to buy land.

Xiao Keg didn't care whether the news was true or not, he knew that the prince was bound to get their land anyway.

He persuaded Xiaopen to sell the land to the prince, and he took the money to buy another land, so why offend the prince?

Xiao Basin still refused, he said that the prince wanted a treasure, so he came to get the treasure directly, anyway, he was not interested in any treasure.

I didn't expect the second brother to be so stubborn, Xiao Bucket had to beg someone to show his mouth in front of the prince and say that he would send someone to get the treasure, and he didn't have to buy land to go around the bend.

Maybe he didn't believe that there were such generous people, maybe he was worried about what trap Xiaopot had set up, the prince promised not to buy land, nor to mention any treasures, and he was very good to him, but this "good" seems to be a kind of control.

First, he was given a large mansion and asked him and his family to move into the city. His parents were old and felt that it didn't matter where they lived, as long as they could be with their children. He was persuaded by the barrel to let his parents move into the city, but he lived in the village for a long time.

Second, the prince invited Xiaopen to be a "Mr. Farming", specializing in teaching people to farm, and the novel fruits and vegetables planted were all from the palace. Over time, they all regarded him as the prince's staff.

Third, the prince said that there was no fertilizer in the pond, and the water should be drained, and the mud should be dug up and filled in again. Xiao Bon originally disagreed, but after two years of getting along, he became acquainted with the prince, and had developed the habit of doing what the prince said as long as it did not involve a fundamental conflict of concepts, and he compromised.

When the water in the pond was drained, it was a rainy day, and the drainage was not drained, and the small basin was very anxious.

For the convenience of supervising the work, he built a shack not far from Lingtang.

The road was slippery, and his cloth shoes were often soaked, so he made a pair of wooden galoshes, which resembled clogs and riding boots. Wearing soft straw on the wooden sole cushion, it is non-slip and comfortable, and everyone else follows to learn how to make wooden shoes.

The sky finally cleared, and the water in Lingtang was drained. The prince suddenly transferred the palace guards to surround Lingtang, and frightened the people to kneel and beg for mercy.

The Taoist priest who often followed the prince repeatedly inspected the bottom of the pond, pinching and pinching his fingers, and his face became more and more solemn.

Xiaopan and the people saw that there was coarse sand, gravel and slightly hard yellow mud in the pond, what was the strange thing?

"Lord Wang, the treasure is at the bottom of the pond, but it is difficult to distinguish with the naked eye, and it is difficult to get it from the vulgar hands." The Taoist priest bowed to the prince.

The prince was very angry and thought that the Taoist priest was deliberately fooling him. The Taoist priest explained for a long time, but the prince still didn't understand, and finally got impatient, and asked the guards to block this place, and then walked away.

The treasure said, the small basin was almost forgotten, and the sudden change made him understand that this prince had never thought of befriending him sincerely, and all he wanted was the treasure under the Lingtang.

But he has been here for almost thirty years, and he doesn't know what treasures there are, let alone him, even the eighty-year-old grandfather has never heard of any treasures under this pond.

He and the people asked to go home, and the guards drew their swords and pointed at them: "Dig obediently, and if you dare to make random demands, you will go in with white knives and out with red knives!" ”

After digging for another ten days, he still only dug out the sediment and the like, and just when the prince wanted to give up, the Taoist priest asked the prince to let the others go, leaving only a small pot.

The prince put the person suspiciously, and the Taoist priest asked him to watch the movement of the small basin in the pit at night.

It was late autumn, the night was like ink, and the frost and wind were blowing. The prince and the Taoist priest quietly walked up to the pond ridge to see the small pot digging alone.

The small basin was dressed in clogs, splashed with mud, and bent over to dig. There were beads of sweat on his head, a heat that condensed into a faint white smoke, and a golden spot the size of a goose's egg that shone brightly.

"Huh......" The prince pointed to the spot of light and exclaimed, and the Taoist priest hurriedly covered his mouth.

Hearing the sound in a trance, Xiao Basin looked up in surprise, and they had shrunk behind the mud pile, and slowly retreated.

When they arrived at a secluded place, the Taoist priest said that the treasure was the ancient divine beast Neidan, and it was difficult to dig it directly, and it was only possible to get it if you met someone who was destined. After observing and pondering these days, he thought that Xiao Pot was the destined person, and they only needed to wait for Xiao Pot to get the Nanedan and then snatch it.

The prince asked, doesn't Xiaopen have mana if he gets Neidan, how can he grab it? The Taoist priest said that if he didn't know how to urge spiritual power to refine the inner pill, it would be useless to get it.

While they were making these calculations, the little pot was still digging and digging, and he just numbly repeated the digging action, as if this was how he could find a little sense of being alive.

A few days later, the moon was shining brightly that night. Suddenly, the wind rose, and a pale golden light rushed from the ground, blocking out the moonlight.

Most of the people who saw this scene didn't know where the golden light came from, only the prince and the Taoist priest who peeked on the ridge of the pond knew that it was because of a golden pill jumping out of the bottom of the pond!

The small basin also looked at the sky curiously, and in a moment, the brilliance gradually faded. He didn't know that the glory was gone, because Jin Dan gradually integrated into his body.

After dawn, the prince put a small basin and went home. After that, the prince and the Taoist priest discussed the matter of taking the golden inner pill.

"It's all integrated into his body, and it's hard to take it out...... It's not easy to kill him, is it? ”

The Taoist priest stroked his beard and said, "The prince doesn't have to worry, everything has been prepared in advance, and only one person is needed to stop him." ”

"Who?"

"Sister Ling." When he said the name, a cold light flashed in the Taoist priest's eyes.
