On this afternoon, the princess said that she would leave Qingming and Long Xing to stay in the palace, she had a lot to say, after all, the child had just woken up from a deep sleep, and was sent out for a civil parade. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The place where the soup is refining is located in the basement of the dormitory of the Qingzhe Wang couple, after a long labyrinth of horizontal and vertical passages, before they arrive, if no one leads the way, I am afraid that the two young people will really get lost, it is really a secret of the palace, and it is very hidden.
The place where my mother personally refined Guben soup was a stone room, and although the space was not large, it was quite new and strange. On one side of the stone chamber is a hot spring pool, bubbling and steaming, and on the other side is a wooden cabinet, the entire wall is occupied by a grid of wooden cabinets, much like the Chinese medicine cabinets they have seen in the world, and in the middle of the stone chamber is a large stone table, on which are neatly and orderly placed various containers of different shapes, containing colorful liquids.
In the face of these two children, Princess Qingzhe did not hide it, telling them that those wooden cabinets were filled with the fine products of Xuantian Dao, including soul refining stones, as well as various plants with their own spiritual energy, such as rue spirit grass. Long Xing heard the cloud mountain fog cover, after the preliminary study of soul alchemy, Qing Ming had some feelings in his heart, speculating that his mother used a specific aura plant, plus hot spring water and soul refining stones, to refine the solid soup, as for what kind of formula it is, and how it is refined into shape, it is unknown.
From the moment he entered the stone room, the black spirit lying on Long Xing's chest began to be restless, fluttering slightly, Long Xing tried his best to caress his chest, not daring to show his clues.
Princess Qingzhen has been holding Qing Ming's hand tightly, looking at Long Xing gently from time to time, telling them some anecdotes about Xuantian Dao, the two children are very happy, and they deeply feel the warmth of home.
At the end, the princess specially instructed: "Ming'er, remember to take the Guben decoction pill that the mother concubine gave you." In addition, I heard that someone in the capital is selling a pill called Mingxin Pill recently, which is in short supply, and according to rumors, the function of Mingxin Pill seems to be somewhat similar to our Guben Soup. You must not buy it rashly and take it! I am afraid that the finished product from an unknown source is not so simple. As far as I know, in the territory of the major subject countries, the only one who could refine a type of preparation such as Guben Tang was our Qingzhen Palace. That Mingxin Dan is yet to be investigated. ”
Qing Ming nodded, touched the bag containing the pills on his chest, and said gratefully: "Don't worry, my son has written it down!"
When the atmosphere is warm and harmonious, time always flies. King Qingzhen sent people to urge him several times, asking Qing Ming to return to the Chengnan Courtyard as soon as possible and not to delay his cultivation at night.
The mother and son finally broke up reluctantly. Qing Ming, together with Long Xing and Du Sheng, planned to return to the Chengnan Courtyard before dinner, you must know that Long Xing's fat man can't afford to be hungry.
On the way, Long Xing looked at Qing Ming sideways, and kept looking at him, his eyes were full of melancholy in doubt, and he was stunned in his heart, and said angrily: "Long Fatty!
Long Xing smiled and said loudly: "This is my friend Ah Ming!"
Immediately, he lowered his voice and asked seriously: "But, Ah Ming, when you were alone with me, you talked and acted the same as before, but I think that as long as you are in front of these Xuantian Dao people, you immediately seem to have changed as a person, behaving like an ancient, kowtowing, and speaking in a crepe!"
Qing Ming usually didn't pay attention to it, but when he heard him say this at the moment, he noticed that he did have this characteristic, whenever he was in the Xuantian Dao crowd, those behaviors and language tones naturally popped up, and it seemed to come naturally, except for the first one or two, he never deliberately imitated it, and there was no sense of awkwardness in his heart.
General Watsu Sheng laughed: "Prince Qingming, your soul has been passed down to more than twenty generations of Bronze Kings since the beginning of the Qingtian King, although now, before the soul is united, there are still defects, but your various habits of Xuantian Dao are afraid to be engraved into the depths of the soul!
Qing Ming was thoughtful, and a sense of responsibility arose in his heart, and he suddenly felt pressured, and his face sank slightly.
Long Xing said in frustration: "Alas, you were originally the soul of this side, but you are not wronged, not to mention that you are still the future king of the great subject country! It's too worthwhile! But what about me? I fell into such a quagmire for no reason, and I can't go back, I really died unjustly!"
Suddenly, he seemed to remember something, and sighed: "Oh, by the way, that night, I saw that Yang Ling was taken away by a man wearing a cyan robe, wouldn't he also go to Xuantian Dao?"
Qing Ming was stunned for a moment, and said faintly: "I also guess that she has arrived at Xuantian Dao, but there is no news, I asked my Heqiu brothers to help pay attention to it, if there is news of an exotic girl in the country, it is most likely her, I think I should be able to know." ”
The two men looked at each other helplessly and continued on their way. On this day, when they came out of Qingzhe Palace, the three of them were dressed in civilian clothes, and Qingming's status as a prince was not obvious to ordinary people, so walking from the city was also calm and impermanent, and while talking, they arrived at the market.
They rode horses, took the official road, spacious and smooth, all made of strips of bluestone, the avenue runs through the north and south, from the bazaar. There are bustling crowds on both sides, bargaining, picking, and so lively.
The corners of General Watan's mouth curled slightly, and he said proudly: "The royal city of my great subject country has always been prosperous, with countless business trips, rich commodities, and complete categories, and many foreign merchants have come here. Well, Childe, you see, the young man in the light green silk robe is from the country of arrogance, and the little old man riding a camel is a person from the country of Mianshi, and he has a unique skill for his mount. ”
Qing Ming nodded, remembering the characteristics of the various countries that Master Zhong Quan had taught before, and talked about the organic races of the Mianshi Country, who could manipulate the actions of animals. Sure enough, seeing the little old man lightly tap his finger on the hump three times, the camel clumsily bent its front legs, and the little old man jumped and fell to the ground.
Qing Ming was observing everything around him with a face full of surprise, suddenly, his white horse stopped, turned his head and looked, there was a man and a woman standing in front of the horse, with elegant expressions, noble and dignified, it was Yun Wei and Yun Li brother and sister, Yun Li's hand was on the head of the white horse, and the white horse was signaled by her to stop.
Qing Ming turned over and dismounted, and the three teenagers saluted each other.
Yun Li looked at him with a smile and said with a smile: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, seeing that you are dressed so plainly, are you on a private patrol in micro-clothes?"
Qing Mingxin said that his father had explained that he could not leak his whereabouts and plans without authorization, although he didn't know the reason, but there must be a reason for it, and he pretended to be mysterious: "Senior sister, I am tired of staying in the palace, except for Shangju Caitang, my father will not let me go anywhere, no, I pestered General Washeng and secretly took me out for a walk." ”
As he spoke, he looked like a thief, Yun Li saw him talking close to him, and the two of them were close at hand, so he couldn't help blushing, and felt that the young man in front of him was stubborn and cute, and he couldn't help but feel fluttering.
The thin and tall Yun Wei seemed to have guessed his sister's thoughts, so he relieved the siege and said: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, since you have already come out, you might as well take a look at our Kyoto market, which is thriving and famous! Zai Xia and her sister are about to go to the market to do something, I wonder if Your Highness is free to accompany you?"
Without waiting for Qing Ming's reply, Yun Li hurriedly said softly: "My brother and I heard that there are people selling Mingxin Pill in the bazaar, which has the miraculous effect of strengthening the soul, and it is hard to find out. ”
General Watari came over and persuaded in a low voice: "Prince, the princess has explained, let your subordinates remind you that you can't just eat those drugs from unknown sources outside!"
Qing Ming remembered that his mother had indeed mentioned the Mingxin Pill on purpose, and his curiosity suddenly rose, and he couldn't hold back his enthusiasm to find out, so he smiled and said to Du Sheng: "General, I think it's too early, we might as well go and have a look, as long as we don't eat it." ”
After finishing speaking, he followed the Yun Wei brothers and sisters. Yun Li smiled happily, and her steps became lighter and lighter. General Watatsu raised his vigilance, his deep eyes staring back and forth at the strangers around him, as if some suspicious assassin would suddenly appear among them.
Yun Wei's brother and sister are noble, and they didn't take Long Xing on the side in their eyes at all. Long Xing pouted secretly, Yun Li's every move, in his eyes, it was very awkward, although this woman was beautiful and dignified, but it gave people a feeling of rejection thousands of miles away, she looked at Qing Ming's eyes, which made Long Xing feel uneasy, because when he saw other girls, he always couldn't help but think of Yang Ling, and scolded in his heart: "Qing Ming, this kid, won't see strange thoughts, right?"
Walk not far, come to a pharmacy in front of the crowd, only to see the crowd of people, the shop around a flood, the shop door on one side of the hanging flag, on the eye-catching "Mingxin Dan" three big characters, below the writing "ten taels of gold, the store refuses to bargain!"
Yun Wei sighed: "What a big breath!"
Yun Li said quietly: "A small pill, so expensive, is it really effective?"
The two brothers and sisters whispered, and Yun Li whispered to Qing Ming: "Your Highness, our brother and sister want to buy one and bring it back to the house for study and reference, I don't know if Your Highness will also buy it, you see that there are three layers in this crowd and three layers outside, and my brother plans to bully into the crowd to buy it with his magic skills, if His Highness has a need, he might as well give the gold to my brother, and he will do it together!"
Qing Ming was curious, of course he wanted to buy it, and then he suddenly realized that when he came to Xuantian Dao, he had never seen what the money here looked like. I had to turn my head to look at Watari with a look of asking for help, General Wataru shook his head, and said: "When I go out today, I don't think I need to use gold, and my subordinates only have big coins on ......."
Yun Li said with a smile: "In daily life, all of them use big coins, and it is reasonable that the general did not bring gold." Fortunately, my brother has a lot of gold today, and my little sister has the courage to ask him to lend it to His Royal Highness the Prince, and the prince will go back and withdraw it from the palace, okay?"
Her last question was not directed at Yun Wei, but at Qing Ming, and her admiration was beyond words.
Qing Ming was concentrating on the matter of gold, so he had to accept Yun Li's proposal first and quickly thanked him.
The plan was established, Yun Wei made a move Qingying sideways, this move is one of the Qingying series of martial arts practiced by the nobles of the big subject country, I saw that his pace was extremely fast, and he turned his head sideways very quickly, and in an instant, he turned into the gap in the crowd and snapped up two pills from the boss. Qing Ming has also practiced this skill under the guidance of General Yansheng, but he has never participated in any actual combat, but he didn't know that this kind of kung fu could be used like this, and he couldn't help but feel stunned.
Qing Ming took a brown pill the size of his little finger, held it in his palm, weighed it, and felt that it was quite a little heavy, but he didn't see any clues about it.
Seeing that the pill had arrived, General Dusheng kept reminding Qing Ming that Qing Ming knew that he had lost time because of visiting the market, and he had met Yun Li by chance, in order to avoid her Yuancong technique, they were bound to take a long detour, so he quickly made an excuse and said goodbye to Yun Wei's brothers and sisters.
Along the way, Qing Ming couldn't help but wonder: "I don't know if the unfathomable general knows this Mingxin Pill?"
