Chapter 161: The Old Place
Knocking on the door outside were the soldiers patrolling the streets, and as they passed by, they were stopped by the local security guards and the innkeeper of the inn. Inform these street watchmen that the guests staying at the inn had violated the curfew and were wandering down the street alone. This is the innkeeper bullying outsiders, according to the law of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, the first person who violates the law, the person who reports the punishment can get 30%. Anyway, Wu Mian and the three of them have already given the house money for one day, and they don't know about the Year of the Monkey next time they come to Chang'an. Rely on them to make another small fortune, why not?
Before entering the inn, the officers and soldiers also saw a pile of stinky minced meat on the street. I don't know who is lacking in virtue, don't I know if there are demons in Chang'an City in the past two days? Is this someone who sincerely wants to summon the demon? I can't let the innkeeper find someone to clean up this place, and don't really invite the demon later.
The officers and soldiers who knocked on the door were considered to have ended the siege of no return, and before Wu Mian could give an order, the old guy had already run over and pulled out the bolt. After the door opened, the officers and soldiers outside rushed in like wolves: "Why don't you open the door until you finish!" Didn't you hear the old man shouting? What about the guides? Where did you come from......"
In the middle of speaking, the chief official suddenly widened his eyes, and his eyes swirled back and forth between the smiling old man in front of him and the white-haired young man by the window who was looking at them with his eyelids rolled. After confirming that this was the master of the Fang Shi who caught the demon empty-handed the night before, the official worked hard to squeeze out a smiling face, and said to the returnee: "I don't know that the two Fang Shi masters are resting here, there was a demon outside just now, right?" No wonder someone said that there was a curfew outside...... "This pair of officers and soldiers is exactly which team of officers and soldiers Wu Mian and they met the night before."
At this point, the official glanced timidly out of the window, and then leaned towards the side of returning or not. The old guy said in his ear: "This old man, you give me the truth." Is there still a demon in this Chang'an City that has not been exterminated? If you don't speak, I'll take you by default, if you still have a rich magic weapon or something, your old man will give me one or two. Don't you know, the current demon is too fierce. Just now, the head of Liu An, the deposed king who was locked in the prison, was gone. They all said it was a demon......"
This sentence reminded the old guy of no return, the old guy suddenly thought of something, turned around and looked at Wu Mian, and then said to the official: "The abolished king Liu An is dead?" When was this? You explain this clearly, old man, I will reward you with ten eight magic weapons. ”
"Just now, now the four gates of Chang'an City are blocked. has already reported to the palace, just waiting for Banzai to order the whole city to spot check. "Being able to talk to the old man who is like a living immortal, the official has also come to the spirit. After a pause, he continued to say to the returnee: "My brother-in-law is a flying horse from Chang'an City, and he told me about his errand in the heavenly prison just now, when Pegasus went to the city gate to report the news. I heard him say that now Lord Weiwei has arrived in the prison, and the news inside has come out that Liu An, the deposed king, and Liu Chang, the concubine, are dead. Liu Chang was a little better, leaving a whole corpse. Liu An was a little miserable, and his head was gone. He is a prisoner in this life, according to the rules, the lock heart of the cell is filled with lead, and the lock is not moving, and the head is gone. The prison said that the demon did it......"
"Just died, so interesting...... "After laughing or not, when he was about to continue questioning, a team of Imperial Forest Army came from outside the inn. It is said that he received an edict from Lord Weiwei to check the guests who came to stay at the inn. Fortunately, with the introduction of the officers and soldiers patrolling the streets, Wu Mian and Gui Fei are both Fang Shi masters invited by Emperor Wen. didn't make any noise about Wu Mian and whether he would return or not, and after asking a few casual questions, he went to the other guests.
Seeing that the official Lai was here and didn't plan to leave, he was worthy of him if he didn't return at the moment, and he 'blessed' the blades of their team of officers and soldiers. Turned their own blades into 'magic weapons'
After the officers and soldiers patrolling the streets and the Imperial Forest Army left, they turned back to Wu Mian and said, "King Rui and King Huainan both died in the prison, and something happened to us as soon as they died." Do you believe that there could be such a coincidence? ”
"Then I'm going to ask your old friend who I haven't seen in a hundred years." Wu Mian glanced at the old guy with a smile, and he decided that the old guy was not true. But I can't remember who the white-robed puppet is, but Wu Mian is not in a hurry, looking at the meaning of the person just now, this matter is not over. Sooner or later, there will be a chance to meet, and sooner or later, there will be a chance to meet again in another three or five hundred years.
This night, the officers and soldiers on the street outside have not stopped coming and going, and after dawn the next day, Wu Mian and Gui did not return before he took Xiao Ren San out of the inn to settle the bill. The most resentful of the three people is Xiao Ren San, the little guy overheard the conversation between the street patrol officer and the innkeeper last night, and knew that it was the innkeeper who made the mistake last night. After walking out for half a mile, the little guy returned to the inn again, and when no one was paying attention, he wrote at the end of the guest copywriting that the inn was going to hand over to the government for preparation--I slept with my mother, and the back was the signature of the shopkeeper......
Due to the violent death of the two deposed kings of the prison last night, pedestrians entering and leaving the city must be strictly searched. When Wu Mian and the three of them arrived at the city gate, there was already a long queue of people here. From a distance, there were three to five hundred people, and these three people were not the ones who had the patience to line up. At that moment, Xiao Rensan took the first step and went out of the city from the underground. Wu Mian and Gui Bugui hid their bodies and walked out of Chang'an City from the main gate silently.
After coming out, the Returnee advocates immediately going to find the location of the next map. However, Wu Mian himself had other plans, he wanted to return to Liaoxi County, take out the furnace and pill recipes for refining elixir hidden in the underground palace, and by the way, see if his senior brother Yan Aihou had returned to his underground palace.
Although he still wanted to find a way to break the seal in his body as soon as possible, Wu Mian was the only one who knew the location of the next few maps, and he didn't open his mouth, and no one could find the location of the back maps. At the moment, except for following Wu Mian towards Liaoxi County with a sad face, there is no second way to go.
After walking for more than half a month this time, the three of them returned to the underground palace of Yan Aihou. When I came back again, the cave that had collapsed had been restored to normal. If these three people hadn't seen it with their own eyes, no one would have believed that such a thing would have happened. But just as the three of them were about to go inside, Guilai, the eldest of the two brothers, had already come out of the cave.
This descendant and former disciple of the non-returnable was holding a big package in his hand, and after seeing the three of them, he handed the package in his hand to his former master with a hippie smile: "World-honored, this is from my world-honored one. His old man said that he was not killed by popularity in Chang'an. It's gone this time, everything you want is here, and you don't have to come back if you have anything to do in the future......" At the end, Boss Gui's eyes glanced at Wu Mian's face intentionally or unintentionally.
Guilai has already spoken on behalf of Yan Aihou to this point, and Wu Mian and Gui are not good at saying anything. At the moment, he could only leave the dungeon with this big burden, and he didn't return to the original thought that Wu Mian should be desperate to find the location of the next map. However, what he didn't expect was that Wu Mian's interest in refining the elixir of immortality and immortality was even greater than that of looking for the next map.
I can't help but slander if I don't return: aren't you already gray-haired? Why don't you go find the map and wonder what this Dan furnace is all about? Even if you really refine the elixir, who will you give it to? One hundred people took medicine, and ninety-nine died violently after taking it......
After Wu Mian took a closer look, there was nothing special about the longevity furnace. It's just that there are too many materials that need to be purchased on the Immortal Decision, Wu Mian has been a court scholar, and what he does is to separate the materials for alchemy, and even a foundation like him can't recognize all the materials above.
After seeing Wu Mian's thoughts, his face was a little bitter. At the moment, he hurriedly persuaded him and said, "You don't plan to refine the elixir, do you? Listen to my advice, forget it, this is not as simple as you think. ”
