Zi Yi turned around a few times on Danxia Mountain, thinking that this place is far away from the Demon Realm, and it will be troublesome to toss and ask for bottles back and forth, so it is better to go to the Zhenwu Emperor to borrow his dark cloud pot envoy, and his palace is on Wudang Mountain in the Great Liang Kingdom, which is the closest.

After thinking about it, he turned his head and went to Wudang Mountain.

Zhenwu was quite happy to see him, took out the dark cloud pot, said a mantra to him, and said: "When Brother Yi comes back, let's talk about it, and the old ghost of Changhua, maybe I haven't seen him for a long time." I still have a jar of good wine hidden here, which is pouring in the deep pool behind the mountain, and I will take it out and kill it when the time comes. ”

Zi Yi smiled and said: "That's good, but I heard that Changhua has been very busy recently, and the Emperor of Heaven asked him to inspect the corruption and perversion of the law by the various government officials, but I am afraid that he will be very busy." ”

Zhenwu nodded: "It's an errand that offends people, it's not easy to do." ”

Zi Yi said: "Changhua is a serious person, this investigation continues, I am afraid that everyone in the sky and the earth is in danger, this bay water has long been muddy, but who is the rectification?" ”

Zhenwu patted the table with his hand, sighed and said: "When the water is clear, there are no fish, this time the Emperor of Heaven is also a little more serious, I heard that at the beginning, wasn't it the matter that the old Dao of Xia Guang accepted a bribe from the emperor of the mortal world?" It's not worth making a fuss about. ”

Zi Yi's face was a little sneering, that Xiaguang Saint Yuan Venerable was also a phoenix like him, but Zi Yi was a golden phoenix, and Xiaguang was a colorful phoenix. I don't know if it's an ancestor.

After chatting a few words of gossip, he got up and said goodbye, and wanted to hurry back to Heiji Province and hunt demons.

=============================================

Standing in the courtyard with the Xuannu, the two watched the moonlight be bright, and a round of yellow and clear full moon slowly rose into the air.

Zi Yi said to Xuannu: "You wait here, I'll come when I go." ”

He flew all the way to the top of the snowy mountain, knowing that the demon was about to come out, so he took out the dark cloud pot and pulled out the spout to blow it down the mountain.

Of course, the bubbling clouds that blew out of the dark cloud pot were bubbling clouds, and when the whole snow-capped mountain was covered by dark clouds, Zi Yi sat on the top of the mountain and waited.

About a tea hour, a round fat old man panted and ran to the top of the mountain, the old man had a childish face, with a baby face, he saw Ziyi and said: "You are very smart, you know that there is this refreshing place on the top of the mountain, I don't know what kind of birdman put the thief smoke, spoiled my good thing tonight." ”

"Oh, old man, I wonder what good you have for tonight? Tell me about it? Zi Yi smiled.

The fat old man glanced at him, and felt that it was strange for this young man to sit here in the dark, so he asked, "Don't mind my business, I wonder what you are doing here?" ”

Ziyi said: "I'll dig up herbs." ”

"What herbs? It's also worth not resting in the middle of the night. ”

"Ginseng," Zi Yi added, "10,000-year-old ginseng." ”

The old man wanted to run when he heard this, but his legs were like sticking and he couldn't move at all. Because he had inhaled a lot of soreness from the dark clouds along the way, his hands and feet were paralyzed this time and he couldn't move.

"Who are you?" His eyes were full of fear, he had never seen someone with such powerful mana, those demon hunters sent by the government were all straw bales, thinking that it would be enough to stick a few charms and poke him with a magic weapon, but he didn't know that he couldn't even hurt his own fur.

Zi Yi said: "I am a person who practices medicine, and when I see this huge ginseng, I can't pull out my legs, and I must refine it into pills before I am willing." As he spoke, he raised the cloud pot and said to the old man, "Don't come in yet?" Do you want me to invite you? ”

The old man's grievances turned into a puff of smoke and got into the pot.

Back at Yamen, Governor Du and a cadre were waiting there, and Xuannu was also there.

Seeing Ziyi, Xuannu greeted her: "Can you get it?" ”

"Come on."

Before Governor Du could understand what was going on, he sat down and said, "This is a ginseng essence, which has been accepted by me, and it is here. As he spoke, he took out the cloud pot.

Everyone saw that he was holding a small teapot in his hand, the body of which was covered with cloud patterns, the spout was blocked, and the lid was tightly screwed. They all looked at each other, not knowing what the hell this person was doing.

Zi Yi pulled out the spout and fell down, and the white-bearded old man Ling gossip rolled out and fell to the ground.

He saw Zi Yi hurriedly kneeling.

Zi Yi said: "Ginseng Jing, how many years have you been doing evil in this Heiji Province?" ”

The old man kowtowed again and again: "Yes•••••• there are •••••• have been many years, and I can't remember the specifics." ”

"Why did you come out on the first and fifteenth days of the new year to do evil?"

"Because, •••••• because of the need to replenish the qi of the Yuan Infant because of the practice."

"So you're going to eat newborn babies?"

"Yes."

"How many have you eaten?"

"There are ••••••, there are a thousand!"

The people in the room were dumbfounded, and a few brave people couldn't help but come over and kick him twice.

Zi Yi didn't ask any more, put the old man still in the pot, covered the stopper, and said to Governor Du: "Your matter is over, I wonder if I can ask you a private matter?" ”

Old man Du admired him at the moment, and he could see the scene just now clearly, but it turned out that the person in front of him was a living immortal, and if he hadn't taken care of his identity, he would have knelt down for him.

He stammered, "Sir•••••• please say something, as long as I know it, I know everything." ”

Ziyi took out a painting from his sleeve: "Have you ever seen this painting?" Or the person in the portrait? ”

Governor Du looked at it for a long time, shook his head and said, "The woman in this painting must be an immortal, where can you find it in this mortal world?!" ”

Ziyi couldn't, so she had to say goodbye to her daughter.

Old man Du hurriedly arranged a table of banquet money for them, and wrapped two thousand taels of silver for them to hold, which was the reward that the two of them deserved.

Ziyi didn't accept it, and the Xuannu said, "I'm not too heavy, I'll carry it." Ziyi didn't care about her, Xuannu put a bag of silver on her back, and the two of them left the governor's yamen all the way south.

Halfway through, Zi Yi said: "I still have to go back to Danxia Mountain, and the things in this pot have to be refined." ”

Xuannu asked, "Then how long are you going?" Alchemy takes a bit of effort. ”

He said, "It's okay, I'll let my apprentice practice." ”

"Oh," the Nine Heavens Xuannu tilted her head to look at him and said, "I haven't heard that you have an apprentice?" Are you talking about the Red Lotus? ”

Ziyi nodded: "I'll be back soon, it's important to find a painting." Wait for me at the red-roofed inn in front, and I'll go back as soon as I go. ”

===========================================

He returned to the main hall of Danxia Mountain with a gust of wind, sat down on the light cloud hall, and the bell boy passed everyone out.

It's been a long time since it's been like this, and since Qixia is gone, there hasn't been such a big gathering for many years, so everyone whispers.

After a while, the maid Teng'er, the head of the Light Cloud Palace, led the red lotus and the rain lotus to also come.

Qing Ning stood there and saw the red lotus, and was horrified: Aren't you here to liquidate me?! Yesterday, she was pushed by Zi Yi and the injury was not light, if it wasn't for Ying'er supporting her, I was afraid that she would have collapsed to the ground.

Red Lotus still has the same idle look, but she has lost a lot of weight. Yuhe didn't have the concentration of Red Lotus, she looked haggard and fragmented, her hair was messy, her nails were longer than her fingers, she stood nervously behind Red Lotus, and quietly hooked Red Lotus's sleeve with her nails.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Zi Yi looked at everyone coldly: "From today onwards, the Red Lotus will be restored to the position of the head of affairs." Qingning ——, are not allowed to leave the Oriling Courtyard without my permission. ”

When the immortals heard this, they were in an uproar.

Qing Ning pinched Ying'er's hand fiercely before he barely stood still.

Zi Yi said again: "From today onwards, the enchantment, the immortal barrier, and the Xingyun Array will be all arranged, and no outsider can be allowed in without my permission." ”

He looked at Qing Ning again and said, "You privately lent the Qiankun Geography Bottle and the Bundle Immortal Lock to the Demon Lord, I don't know what benefits he gave you?" Anyway, I don't care what benefits you take, you can get me back as soon as you lend out. From now on, my treasures will be kept by Red Lotus. ”

After that, Ziyi looked at the red lotus and said, "You send two people to follow Qingning, and come back when you go to the Demon Realm to get things back." When she returned, she was not allowed to go out again. ”

Red Lotus nodded, and Nuo Nuo agreed.

In the end, Zi Yi looked around at everyone and said in a stern tone: "In the past few years, I have important things to do in the mortal world, and only the red lotus is respected up and down in the Danxi Palace, do you understand?" ”

Everyone hurried to Nuonuo, and Wu Yang knelt down in a large area, and the hall was full of people. Zi Yi stood up and prepared to leave, turned his head and said to Honglian: "Come here, I have something to say." ”

Honglian followed him into the small guest room inside, Zi Yi took out the dark cloud pot and said to her: "This contains a 10,000-year-old ginseng essence, it is very fat, after I leave, you can add a few herbs to refine it into snow ginseng pills, and after refining, quickly return this treasure to the Zhenwu Emperor, don't delay." ”

Red Lotus nodded and didn't speak.

He glanced at her, and saw that she was very thin, and her eyes were sunken in a large circle, and he knew that he had suffered all these years.

I wanted to say something warm to make up for it, but after thinking about it, I still didn't say it after all, but said: "I'm leaving, you take care." ”

Honglian watched him go out of the room, tears flowed down her cheeks, for so many years, she was locked in a dark room, and she didn't shed tears once, and today I finally saw him, these tears were like •••••••beads with broken threads, and I couldn't help it. Although she knew that this day would come sooner or later, sooner or later.

The Divine Monarch would not succumb to her.

He is still so handsome and elegant, and he hasn't changed at all.

Honglian looked at his tall back, and another wave of tears poured out.
