"Grandfather just said, yes or no?" Shen Zhi just wanted to know the answer right now.

Xia Li'an nodded and sighed lightly, "Yes! The Secret of Immortality! No one can say whether it's true or not, after all, this thing can't be seen, and it will take a long time to know. But I can also see who lives a thousand years old, and I think it's just talking. It's just that some people take it seriously! ”

Bo Yu said, "Not necessarily! If it's just talking, why are so many people staring at the Protectors? There must be something that is the protector to make up for the external propaganda, but it is known to outsiders! ”

"I think, it's true!" Shen Zhi said, "In the past few days, I have been dreaming of my mother every night, and my mother is bloody, and I don't know if she is asking me for help." Grandfather, Zhi'er has no bottom in her heart, and she is a little panicked! ”

Bo Yu stood up nervously, "You never said that." ”

"Guan Aotian mentioned Zhao Lianyi's matter to me today, and I vaguely feel that this is a ...... There are even more terrible things to come! Shen Zhi's expression was solemn, "Grandfather, do you know anything else?" ”

"Han Busu saved me back then, and later she introduced me, and I also had a little friendship with the old patriarch, and later Han Busu was expelled from the Protector Clan, and the old patriarch looked for me in private." Xia Li'an sighed lightly, "The old patriarch said that the catastrophe of the Protector Clan has arrived, and the sins made in the past must be repaid." ”

"What do you mean by that?" Bo Yu was puzzled.

Xia Li'an said, "Didn't I say that? The first generation of the Protector was in awe of Xu Gong, but they also got something from Xu Gong and created some evil! I heard that it was Gong Xu's apprentices, as well as his relatives, who were all refined......"

Shen Zhi stood up and stared at Xia Li'an in disbelief, his little face instantly turned as white as paper, "What did my grandfather say...... Seriously? ”

"That's what the old patriarch said." Xia Li'an sighed lightly, "There will be nothing wrong with thinking about it!" ”

"Refining, refining......" Bo Yu trembled, and subconsciously rolled in his throat, "What will it become?" ”

"After that, Xu Gong disappeared, some people said that he went to find Penglai Immortal Island, and some people said that he went to Chengxian Dao, and no one saw him again." Xia Li'an shook his head, "Anyway, the Protector really got the elixir. ”

Shen Zhi gritted his teeth, "Take the living person to refine it, and ask for the elixir?" ”

Xia Li'an continued, "I heard that this elixir has evil nature, and after several generations of Protector Patriarch Patriarch purification, this power of good and evil was finally separated from the medicine. I don't know what happened next. ”

Phoenix Gu, Phoenix Gu?

"So the Phoenix Gu is the result of the refining of a living person, and this evil qi ......," Shen Zhi muttered to himself.

It should be the reason why my father and mother went to the Yingguo desert and worked hard!

The so-called evil spirit should be resentment, right?

The wrath of the living!

"It's okay grandfather, the Phoenix Gu shouldn't make people immortal!" Shen Zhi was puzzled, "Why has the patriarch of the Protector Clan changed from generation to generation?" The existence of the Phoenix Gu just has other functions! Phoenix Gu is definitely not the key to immortality. ”

Xia Li'an nodded, "So, that's the trick...... It should be on top of the evil spirit that was banished. ”

Shen Zhi was shocked, "If that's the case......"

His eyebrows jumped suddenly, Shen Zhi felt a little headache, he couldn't think clearly, and he desperately wanted to figure it out, so his whole brain was a mess.

Shen Zhi is young after all, and many things are said by Butang and Luo Nanchen, his father and mother have always been secretive, and they have not been able to tell him more secrets about Phoenix Gu, and all his current analyses are scattered and synthesized. "Don't overthink it!" Bo Yu gently patted Shen Zhi on the shoulder, "When your aunt comes back, you will know everything, so don't think about it now!" You can't figure it out anyway! ”

Shen Zhi nodded.

"Zhi'er, don't worry." Charian coughed lowly.

"Grandfather, don't worry, Zhi'er knows how to be measured, and he won't come nonsense!" Shen Zhi bowed, "Let my grandfather worry, it's Zhi'er's." ”

Xia Li'an thought for a while, "You come here, grandfather will point you to someone, if you can find him, maybe he can really solve the confusion in your heart!" ”

Shen Zhi was overjoyed, "Thank you, grandfather!" ”

"But this person is not easy to find!" Xia Li'an hesitated, "You may not really be able to find it!" ”

"Grandfather, please!" Shen Zhi was categorical, "No matter how difficult it is, Zhi'er will never give up." ”

Xia Li'an nodded, "You go to find your fifth uncle's master, whether he is still alive, I don't know, but it would be great if you could find your fifth uncle." He followed the old guy around the world, and he knew a lot of things, and there was definitely the answer you wanted! ”

"Fifth uncle?" This is the first time Shen Zhi has heard someone mention this long-disappeared imperial uncle.

"I've been in prison for too long, I don't know where he went, you go to your imperial uncle, maybe you can have a clue." Charrien explained.

"Yes!" Shen Zhi saluted, "Zhi'er, let's go." ”

"Oops, slow down! Slow down! Charian was helpless.

This child's anxious temperament seems to have inherited his mother.

Hearing that Shen Zhi had entered the palace, Bu Tang greeted him as soon as possible, "Zhi'er, what are you doing in such a hurry?" Is there something going on? Tell Aunt Xiaotang, Aunt Xiaotang will handle it for you. Or is someone bullying you? It's okay, you're ......."

"Auntie, where is Uncle Huang? I'm in a hurry! Shen Zhi interrupted Bu Tang's words.

"He's going to ...... This should be in the imperial study, as if he was discussing with the prime minister and Guan Taishi about the envoy to the neighboring country. Bu Tang took Shen Zhi's hand, "Let's go, my aunt will take you to him!" ”

Shen Zhi hesitated, "Auntie, will this disturb the imperial uncle?" ”

"Do you really think he is rare in those courts? I can't wait to take a moment to sneak out, but I was stared at too closely by the prime minister and the princess, and I couldn't get out! "Bu Tang still doesn't know that kid's mind?

Looking at a serious book, in fact, when you go to court, you only know humming and chirping.

When he arrived at the imperial study, Bu Tang directly put aside Congshan and Ding Quan, and strode in, "Your Majesty, Zhi'er has something important to look for you!" ”

Prime Minister You Zhong and Guan Taishi's eyebrows jumped suddenly, You Zhong is the prime minister, so he naturally wants to say a few words, how can there be a reason for the queen mother to break into the imperial study without passing the word?

But before You Zhong could speak, he was already dragged by Taishi Guan and shook his head at him.

The queens of all dynasties are not like this, and the queens of neighboring countries are not like this...... Don't even let go of chickens and dogs!

The emperor is used to messing around, and now he has a queen.

The two strange flowers of the emperor's family are simply invincible, and no one dares to stop them......

You Zhong had to die down, the queen is powerful, the prime minister's mansion has also been taught, and now even the prince doesn't dare to say anything, and he doesn't dare to rush forward single-handedly, lest the queen go to lift her roof tiles again.

"This envoy will be handed over to the Grand Master!" Bo Yunchong dropped a sentence and followed Butang out, "Let's go, it's very boring in the house, I'll take you to the imperial garden to play!" If the imperial garden is not interesting enough, let's go out of the palace to go shopping, you can buy whatever you like, and I will help you carry it. ”

Bu Tang rolled his eyes, "Get Zhi'er done first, the little guy seems to be in a hurry!" ”

Bo Yunchong was stunned for a moment, "What are the excerpts you want me to review?" ”

Shen Zhi stood in the courtyard, watching the two of them muttering out, and immediately saluted, "The minister knocks on the emperor to ......"

"No courtesy, no courtesy!" Bu Tang took the first step to pick up Shen Zhi.

However, he was dragged back by Bo Yunchong, "When the child grows up, there is a difference between men and women after all." If Xiaotang likes it, he will hold my hand more, it is right, the name is right, the child is not deceitful, your man's hand! ”

Bu Tang frowned, "This is your own nephew, the young master of my family!" ”

Bo Yunchong led her out, "It's indeed a nephew, but it's also someone else's husband!" ”

Shen Zhi, "......"

This reminded him of his father, Bo Yunxiu.

The people of the Bo family seem to be obsessed with the other half and are so crazy and unreasonable.

Until he arrived at the Imperial Garden, Bu Tang finally shook off Bo Yunchong's hand, and kicked him in the stomach while there was no one, "Get away!" I just gave you face, let you talk nonsense, and now you dare to stop me from talking to Zhi'er, you lay on the floor tonight, don't even think about climbing into my bed this month! ”

Bo Yunchong opened his mouth, he was going to fight for it on the basis of reason, but as soon as he heard "this month", he didn't even think about it, he immediately died down, and became a good and obedient emperor, turned his head at Shen Zhi, and asked with a soft smile, "Zhi'er, what is your urgent matter?" ”

"Uncle Huang, I want to know about the fifth uncle!" Shen Zhi got straight to the point.

Bo Yunchong was stunned, and Bu Tang was also shocked.

"Good and decent, why did you ask about the fifth child?" Bo Yunchong was puzzled, "Zhi'er, what are you stimulated by here?" Or are you too idle to panic, or ...... Uncle Huang sent you something to do? How about sending you to a neighboring country? How comfortable it is to go for a light meal and come back slowly...... Oops, tap, tap! ”

Bu Tang tugged at Bo Yunchong's ear, "If you dare to carry the government on the child's shoulder, I will carefully twist off your ears." ”

"Tap! Tapping, Xiaotang Xiaotang ...... "Bo Yunchong begged for mercy," I just said casually, isn't this a joke? Just kidding! Zhi'er, quickly help Uncle Huang say a few words! Hurry up! ”

Shen Zhi was not in a hurry, "Uncle Huang, where did these five uncles go?" Why haven't you ever heard of it mentioned to your father? ”

Bo Yunchong bared his teeth, "Xiaotang, let go, I will have to explain to Zhi'er!" ”

"Speak well!" Bu Tang let go of his hand, sat down with a dark face, and warned repeatedly, "Talk about people!" ”

"Yes, yes, people talk about people, they must be people!" Bo Yunchong covered his aching ears.

Fortunately, no one saw it, otherwise those palace people would have to chew their tongues behind their backs, saying that his queen mother was so fierce and domineering.

Shen Zhi waited obediently, and Bo Yu leaned against the railing behind him, and he didn't say a word from beginning to end. Regarding the matter of the fifth uncle, Bo Yu had never heard of it, and he was extremely curious.

"The fifth child is a concubine, and his mother is humble, so the first emperor never paid attention to him when he was alive, and he was not too close to our brothers. Those minions in the palace, all of them worship high and low, and they bully him a lot! Bo Yunchong said eloquently, "It's your father, look at him pitiful, and occasionally help him!" ”

Shen Zhi narrowed his eyes, "What kind of person is he?" ”

"God babble!" Bo Yunchong said.

Bu Tang frowned.

Bo Yunchong hurriedly explained, "I just like to measure words and fortune telling, and look at the stars!" ”

Shen Zhi suddenly realized, "I see. ”

"Others are looking for today's wise men, but he is good, he is looking for a charlatan. Fortunately, the first emperor didn't care about him at all, whether you were horizontal or vertical, the first emperor didn't care about it at all, so he was the only prince who didn't even look down on the first prince! Bo Yunchong rolled his eyes.

Didn't the first prince look down on it?

"Uncle Huang, what do you mean by that?" Bo Yu was puzzled, "What do you mean, even the first prince didn't look at it?" ”

"That is to say, when the first prince usurped the throne, he regarded these brothers as a thorn in the side, only this five princes, who jumped out of the Three Realms and were not in the Five Elements, the first prince didn't take people in his eyes at all." Bu Tang pouted, "But also, people talk about becoming a Buddha and an immortal all day long, how can they take care of the throne of this human emperor?" ”

"It's strange that the prince can take care of it first!" Bo Yunchong shook his head, "You don't know, his yard is cloudy and misty as soon as you enter, and when you enter the door, you will have to drink a bowl of runic water, and after drinking, you have to cross the brazier, as if you want to become an immortal. The army surrounded the palace, and he was still doing things in the courtyard......"

It's no wonder that this kind of person can ascend to the throne!

Naturally, he couldn't get into the eyes of the first prince.

"In other words, he was the only one who saved himself in the chaos back then, and he was not affected at all?" Shen Zhi said.

Bo Yunchong nodded, "That's right! In the end, the fourth died, I ascended the throne as the emperor, and the second became the ruling His Royal Highness, so he left the palace and followed his master of Lao Shizi, far away, drifting, drifting, I don't know where he died! "Master?" Shen Zhi took a breath, "What master?" Where did Master come from? Who is the fifth uncle's master? ”

"Wait a minute, Rong Zhen think about it!" Bo Yunchong rubbed his eyebrows, "It's been seven or eight years, where can I think of it for a while?" ”

Bu Tang's hand silently stopped at his waist.

Bo Yunchong straightened up violently, "I remember, what is the Taoist, I used to be abducted and deceived under the overpass, and I didn't even let go of the children's rock sugar gourds." Later, I followed the fifth child into the palace, and I saw it once! By the way, he also pretended to give your father two sentences! ”

"What?" Shen Zhi asked.

Bo Yunchong shook his head, "Your father didn't say it, but his face was very bad at the time, and it seemed that he was influenced by this old liar." At that time, the old liar also said a few words to me, saying that I was self-inflicted and could not live, so angry that I beat him up at that time. This old liar is coming, and he scolds me, saying that I will return it in the future......"

Thinking about it like this, Bo Yunchong seemed to sense that something was not quite right.

Still...... Return?

"Ha, thinking about it like this, it really seems to be a bit of retribution?" Bo Yunchong frowned, "Back then, I beat him like a pig's head, and then Xiaotang saw me, as if he didn't stop, didn't stop......"

Bu Tang withdrew his hand, "So, your retribution is me?" ”

"It's a blessing! Blessings and blessings! Bo Yunchong hurriedly waved his hand, "I am a blessed man!" ”

Shen Zhi pursed his lips, "It would be nice if I knew what he said to my father back then!" ”

"Think about it, what did you say in the first place?" Bu Tang was a little impatient.

"Wrote a note!" Bo Yunchong scratched his head, "It's been too long, I really can't think of it, maybe the second child will throw it away, and he will throw it away, or it will be burned to ashes?" Anyway, it's just a small note, which was crumpled up by the second child and taken away! If it's still there, you can look for it again, and you should still be able to find it! ”

Bo Yunxiu has a bit of a problem, no matter what it is, it has to be placed neatly, and no one else is allowed to handle personal things. Especially in his study, even Wei Xian'er was severely punished by Bo Yunxiu for trespassing.

"Your father has a problem, he likes to put anything important in the study, and no one is allowed to enter it except your mother. So if you're looking for clues, you probably go to the study to look for them, and you should be able to find them if they're still there! If it doesn't work, go to Guan Ju Palace to find it, find it in Acacia Palace, anyway, just those few places! Bo Yunchong pouted, "You also know, your father's ...... Quite boring! ”

Therefore, the living habits, as well as personal preferences, are very simple.

Shen Zhi nodded, "I know!" ”

"Zhi'er, I'm still the same question, why did you ask about the fifth child? What happened? Or is it ...... What comes to mind? If you have something, are you not allowed to hide it from Uncle Huang? "Bo Yunchong is really worried, there is such a lone seedling from the palace, but he doesn't dare to have anything!

"I can't hide it from Aunt Xiaotang!" Butang is also worried.

The patriarch left such a young master, in case something happens, how can she explain?

"Yes!" Shen Zhi nodded obediently, "Zhi'er just thinks it's strange, why is it obviously the fifth brother's brother, I have never heard of the fifth uncle, but now I know that the fifth uncle is such a capable person, I am afraid that among these brothers, he is the most prescient!" ”

"What do you mean by that?" Bo Yunchong asked.

Shen Zhi got up, coughed lightly and explained, "First, the harem competes for honor and favor, and the fifth uncle's mother can't compete with the queen mother, nor can she compete with my father's biological mother, so she simply doesn't fight, and she lives a long time without fighting or grabbing." Second, only by completely losing the throne can we protect ourselves in the struggle of the previous dynasty. Uncle Huang and my father, one with a noble status, the other was favored by the emperor's grandfather, and in the end they almost became fish and meat. ”

That's the proof of that.

Bo Yunchong got up, stuck his waist, and squinted, "Dare to love this old five, the smartest?" Even the first prince, even your father was deceived? ”

"There is more than one fifth uncle who can deceive my father, didn't the fourth uncle deceive him?" Speaking of this, Shen Zhi was shocked, and looked back at Bo Yu busily.

Bo Yu spread his hands, "It has nothing to do with me, I haven't seen him anyway!" ”

"Among you brothers, you and King Liwang are the stupidest!" Bu Tang sneered, "One is idle, the other is elm, and the result is ...... One became an emperor, and the other ruled for many years. Bu Tang shook his head, "Those who want to be emperors, none of them have become emperors, and they have lost their lives, and those who don't want to be emperors will finally sit firmly in the country." It's really hard for you two brothers and sisters! ”

The crowd was silent.

Like, it's this reason......

"Uncle Huang, I still have something to do, I'll go first!" Shen Zhi saluted and ran away.

"Hey, where are you going?" Bo Yunchong shouted at the top of his voice, "Go back and enter the palace more, and play with your imperial uncle!" ”

Bu Tang rolled his eyes, "Use Zhi'er as an excuse to be lazy again!" ”

"Then will you give me a baby to play with? I hold my child all day long, don't I have time to go to court? When the time comes, those old ministers won't be able to say anything. Bo Yun looked at her arrogantly.

Bu Tang sneered lightly, and walked out, "Do you think it's a hen laying eggs, and you say that you will give birth?" There were so many concubines in the harem, and I didn't see you lay an egg, so now you expect me to have one, like words? Besides, I don't have time to give birth to you, I want to give birth to you by myself, and my mother won't serve! ”

"Am I still waiting?" Bo Yunchong followed, "Xiaotang, let's discuss, let's have a child to play, just like Zhi'er, how much fun is it?" ”

"Give birth to yourself!" Butang walked fast.

Bo Yunchong sighed lightly, "I want to, but I don't have a good stomach...... Xiaotang, Xiaotang ......"

Leaving the Imperial Garden, Shen Zhi went back directly to the palace.

Dad has been away from the palace for the longest time, even if he later moved to Wenliu Villa, but many important things are still here, so it must be right to come here to find them. After all, during the seven years of vacancy, my father has been guarding and asking Xia Ge.

In Xia Ge's study, Bo Yu and Shen Zhi rummaged around.

"I think it's better to be careful, right? Daddy doesn't like people coming in. Bo Yu has been punished, and this will still have lingering palpitations, "Otherwise, you look for it, I, I'll go out and help you watch, anyway, I'm not familiar with this place!" ”

"Dad is not here, and Huang Li will not break in, what are you afraid of?" Shen Zhi didn't know what he was thinking.

Bo Yu took a deep breath, "It seems to be ...... Oh yes! ”

"Find!" Shen Zhi finished looking for the drawer, "Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and find it!" ”

Bo Yu nodded cautiously, his back was still a little cold, and he always felt as if he would be caught soon.

The whole study has been turned upside down, and there is still no trace.

Shen Zhi pursed his lips and simply climbed onto the desk.

"Hey, Daddy will curse!" Bo Yu was anxious.

When Dad is here, let alone rummaging, even if he breaks a cup here, he will be thrown to the torture room to receive punishment. Even now that his father is gone, Bo Yu is still frightened, "Hurry up!" ”

Shen Zhi stood on the table, looking around with his hands on his hips, where would Dad put his things?

Suddenly, his eyes lit up.

What does this beam seem to be on??

"Ah left, Ah right!" Shen Zhi shouted.

Ah Zuo Ah right probed at the door, but did not dare to go inside.

But when the king is away, who is not afraid? The king is no longer there, but they are still apprehensive.

"Come on in and help me get the things off the beams! Hurry up! Shen Zhi ordered.

Ah Zuo silently entered the door, blushed his face, jumped up, quickly removed the things on the beam, and handed them to Shen Zhi, and then hurriedly exited the study.

It was a roll of brown paper, with a red rope tied to the outside, and then rolled up and tied to the beams of the house, and if you didn't look closely, you really couldn't find it.

"Take a look!" Bo Yu was ecstatic.

Shen Zhi untied the red rope, and there was a roll of brown paper on the outside, but inside was a piece of paper that had been crumpled and then flattened.

At the top, only four sentences were written.
