Liao State, Deep Palace, outside the Changming Palace.

The cold steps were covered with frost, and the palace maids and yellow doors outside the door were shivering with cold, and they were snorting at their palms, walking back and forth, rubbing their hands vigorously from time to time, giving themselves a little warmth.

Inside the hall, there is also light, burning candlesticks, torches on the walls, and braziers placed in the corners, illuminating the marble stately palace.

Daliao has been established for more than 300 years, although it is a corner of peace, but it can also be regarded as strong.

It's a pity that all dynasties have unscrupulous lords, such as Da Liao, which has been inherited for more than ten generations, and there are a few mediocre generations.

Today's Great Liao State Lord is one of them.

It has been three years since he ignored the government and government, and he entrusted all the big and small things to the national teacher, and he devoted himself to refining the outer pill and seeking immortals and visiting the Tao in order to live forever.

"Come on, come on, take a nectar for Lone! Lonely wants to set up a feast for the moon today, praying for the gods to come to the world and enjoy the elixir! ”

The half-drunk lord of the country, holding the two concubines on the left and the right, stumbled to the palace gate.

"King, the dew plate will not be able to collect a plate of dew until the second half of the night, and it is not yet time!"

A small yellow door boldly stepped forward to speak.

The dew plate is a large silver plate, placed on a ten-zhang high platform, and receives dew every month for alchemy and medicine.

According to the famous scholars in the Immortal Pavilion, the nectar is clean, can be a medicine for health and life, and can be used for a long time to look old.

Therefore, raise the platform and make a dew plate, and every day the lord of the country must quote the dew, and then practice the art of becoming a fairy taught by the national teacher.

The major and minor matters of the DPRK and China should be entrusted to the national teachers, so that the DPRK has been abolished and the politics has been corrupted for 10 years.

"The king, there is no nectar, why don't you go to the Danfang to get a gourd golden pill, remember that last month, Fang Shi reported that he refined the leopard fetus Yijing pill all the way, and let the concubine sisters try it?"

The two concubines glanced at each other, the names of their parents and clansmen were pinched in the hands of the national teacher, and they had already become the eyes and ears of the national teacher, and they had to pay attention to the movements of the harem at all times and pass on information.

The lord of the country himself is mediocre, and he has been raised in the deep palace since he was a child, and he doesn't understand these privacy methods at all, and he is unaware of the changes around him.

Just unconsciously, the scholars led by the national teacher almost controlled most of the harem, and any Huangmen palace maid had to listen to them.

But all those who have their hearts set on the royal family will be sent far away and replaced with people who obey the orders of the national teacher.

Poor lord of the country, still drunk and dreaming of death, living like a fat pig, not knowing that death is coming.

In the Dan room, there are still monks guarding the fire at night, adding firewood from time to time to maintain the temperature.

Since ancient times, smelting elixir has been an extremely hard and dangerous task.

Alchemy is hard and sleepless all night, just to pinch the right time, so that the mercury vapor in the Dan furnace can be frosted smoothly, and then add materials according to the time, such as sulfur, charcoal, saltpeter and so on.

Many alchemists will train some apprentices to guard the furnace fire instead of themselves, saving time.

Alchemy is still a dangerous job.

In many cases, the practitioners who smelted the pills themselves were not sure what would happen, and the formation of each pill required hundreds of experiments.

Experiments are unpredictable, and furnace crashes often occur in the process of experimenting with Danfang. The famous black powder is said to have been born during this process.

Even the lord of the country, who was obsessed with alchemy, knew that he could not place the Danfang in his own residence.

Therefore, the Danfang is actually a single-door courtyard, deliberately separated, surrounded by artificial canals, one for the convenience of water intake, the second for the convenience of sewage, and the third for fire fighting.

On average, every ten and a half days, the furnace has to be fried once and replaced with new equipment.

In the past ten years, what has been smashed into it is not only the sea of gold and silver?

Alchemy is consumed, and it cannot be done without the power of the country.

"It's late at night, isn't it okay to leave the palace at this time?"

Although he drank wine and his mind was a little unclear, the lord of the country still knew that it was a little far away.

There was some hesitation, and then he refused.

"The palace gate has been locked, it's too troublesome to get out of the palace at this time, tossing back and forth, it's better to wait until tomorrow morning."

Drunken, he turned around and was about to go into the temple.

The two concubines think about it, they actually don't want to play like this and toss, if they really arouse that group of people, and then open the palace door, I'm afraid they will really toss until tomorrow morning.

Once the palace gate is locked, unless there is an emergency military situation or an accident, it will be very troublesome even if the lord himself wants to go out, unless he wants to run at night and go out alone without Luan's entourage and honor guard.

With his eyes open and leaning against the wall, the lord of the country, who was nearly thirty years old, retched for a while, and seemed to have drunk a little too much, and now he was not very comfortable.

"Faint King! Singing every night, how absurd! Misdemeanor! Neglect government affairs and ignore the court! Failure to govern! Depreciate the virtuous and appoint the villain! Immorality! ”

"Such a king, who has no morality, no government and no virtue, why worry that the country is not chaotic and the people's livelihood is not difficult?"

In front of the young lord, there was a figure in Tsing Yi uniform, pointing at his nose and scolding, and the spit stars were about to splash on his face.

The two concubines were so frightened that they lost their faces.

The lord of the country didn't see it with his back, but they saw with their own eyes how this man changed from a white crane to a human form.

Of course, they don't think about the gods, they only think they are monsters.

Ye Gong is a good dragon, nothing more than that.

When something strange happens right in front of them, they are terrified and uneasy.

"Someone! Escort! Escort! ”

"Assassins, there are assassins!"

With the sound of terrible shouts, soon, a large group of people arrived, footsteps, armor, weapons clashing.

The patrolling guards immediately arrived and surrounded the place in a neat manner.

This is the royal guard, which is one of the armies of the Great Liao State that still maintains its combat effectiveness so far.

The national division once tried to get his hands on the military power of this guard, but was forcefully pushed back by the royal family, an army that was only loyal to the royal family.

The lord of the country who drank wine was fearless, he didn't panic at all, and he didn't care about the guards around him, he just looked at this Taoist in Tsing Yi and asked curiously:

"Who are you? Xianye? Demon yes? God? What the hell? Dare to ask what is the honorific name? Where did it come from? ”

"Humph! I'm an immortal! My name is Ding Lingwei, a thousand years ago, the Maolin Ding family, and I am here today to seek justice! ”

As soon as Ding Lingwei waved his sleeves, he heard the sound of clanging to the ground, and all the armor and weapons on the guards around him fell to the ground.

"Okay, this hand makes good!"

The lord's eyes lit up and he applauded.

"But it's worse than the national teacher, the national teacher can spit flames in his mouth, and fish for copper coins in the oil pot with both hands without being contaminated, although the Taoist's hand is wonderful, but he is still not qualified to be a national teacher."

"Up to ...... Be a five-grade Xuanjing scientific envoy! ”

The lord of the country stretched out five fingers and counted, with a demented look.

He hadn't woken up yet, almost in a dream.

"I don't know if the person is in the wilderness or where the Taoist is, is there a degree? If you don't have a degree, you have to make up a degree first, which is quite troublesome, and if you perform another trick, I will exempt you from this procedure. ”

actually regarded Ding Lingwei as a first-class priest or Taoist seeking officials.

The biggest difference between the monks and the Taoists is that the monks do not have a degree, they often come and go with their nature, live in the deep mountains and old forests, and rarely see outsiders.

The Taoist is a monk who has been recognized by the imperial court and has been assessed and issued a degree, no matter whether there is a true way or not, as long as there is a degree.

“…… It's really, really ...... to be the lord of a country like you."

Ding Lingwei summoned ice water, poured it on his head, and suddenly, half of the wine woke up.

Add a basin of ice water, and I was blown by the cold wind that pierced the hall, and I woke up completely.

"This, this, this and this, are they really immortals?"

The lord looked around in astonishment, and everyone, including his two concubines, paused, froze in place in various postures, like leaves frozen in amber.

His eyes were filled with frenzy after his horror.

That's the joy of a long-cherished wish fulfilled!

"Hahahahahaha, Lone's sincerity finally moved the immortals, and the immortals finally came to Lone's eyes!"

Like crazy, the lord of the country laughed and pounced on Ding Lingwei, but was dodged.

"Immortal, please give me the elixir, Lone doesn't want to die, Lone has to live for another thirty years!"

Seeing that Ding Lingwei was very unenthusiastic, and obviously disliked himself, the lord of the country did not take into account the dignity of the lord of the country at all, and fell to his knees on the spot, sobbing profusely.

"You only have three years to live......

Ding Lingwei saw that the lord of the country in front of him was highly poisonous, and his life was short.

"You have eaten too much lead and mercury, which is already highly poisonous, and you have squandered the essence of the essence, the thief has gone to the empty people, and the foundation is completely empty, and now it is already a medicine stone that is hopeless, and the gods are also difficult to save."

"Lonely, I don't want to die yet!"

"Ask the gods to save me! I don't want to die yet! ”

Ding Lingwei no longer paid attention to him, just looked not far away.

A faint shadow, standing under the moon.

"Oni and gods again? Dare to come to me, I don't know if someone Ding has killed a lot of ghosts and gods along the way? Why kill yourself......"

Ding Lingwei's words are not conceited, as far as the human world is concerned, most of those lands are Mao gods in one township and one village, and there are only a few hundred believers, and few can become a climate.

Even the Lord of the Famous Mountains and Rivers, outside the realm of the Priesthood, there are few existences that can defeat him.

Except, of course, from ancient times such as Emperor Taishan.
